Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 238: In the North Land pt3

Velzard could not hide his shock and confusion as he looked at Velgrind who had grown stronger unexpectedly.

She felt happy for her younger sister's growth and was also angry because she was someone who was blocking her way.

Now Velzard could only admit that Velgrind was an inevitable hindrance for him to kill Guy.

(Well, Velgrind, I will acknowledge you as my enemy.)

After Velzard acknowledged Velgrind, he decided to activate his hidden Ultimate Skill 『Envy Lord Leviathan』.

However, it was an impossible decision for normal thinking Velzard. .

If he ended up showing his hidden ability as a trump card against Demon Lord Guy Crimson to Velgrind, it would lose its meaning as a trump card.

Velzard who should have calmed down was not even aware of such a simple thing.

No, he couldn't realize it. The order to kill was the only thing left in his mind because of the Ultimate Dominion

For Velzard to still be able to maintain his ego was proof that he had a strong spirit.

However, even with a strong spirit— Velzard was unable to defy Ultimate Dominion's orders.

After hesitating for a moment, Velzard released envy at Velgrind.

◆◆◆

Velgrind realized quickly that she could fight her elder sister Velzard on more terms than the same thanks to the peer ability of the Flame God Sovereign Cthugha peer who had evolved to overcome control over himself.

After all, since he was losing energy, if he only had the same ability as before, it was clear his defeat was a matter of time.

Even now he was still losing in energy levels, but he could go against his sister in terms of energy efficiency. That's a very surprising evolution.

And even about energi――

(What is this relationship―― "Soul Corridor"? As long as I want it, unknown energy will flow into me.

Yes, through the "Soul Corridor" that had been built between him and Rimuru, it was possible for him to replenish his energy.

In fact, Velgrind had lost most of her magic essence in "Change" into 『The Fire God Sovereign Cthugha』 and his Ignition [1], but soon after, energy flowed into her from the "Soul Corridor", which was the only thing that happened to her", so his energy was almost completely recovered.

He didn't think that he could lose, though,

"I feel like I won't lose", it was Velgrind's honest thought.

However, at that moment, Velgrind noticed that her elder sister's expression changed.

(Did it come!?)

Velgrind made himself wary.

His intuition seems right. The Velzard trump card was activated and sent to Velgrind.

「Whiteout Absorb [2] !!」

The strike was filled with everything Velzard had.

It was Velzard's strongest attack that combined his own abilities 『Cessation Lost [3]』 and 『patience Lord Gabriel』 ability 『Solidification [4]』 with also 『Envy Lord Leviathan』 ability 『Absorb [5]』.

With the attack coming towards him, Velgrind accelerated his own energy to the maximum to oppose him.

「Cardinal Acceleration !!」

Two polar lights, white and red collide.

The northern lands experienced violent earthquakes, as the falling ice and snow repeatedly sublimated and froze with blazing blizzards.

The winner was Velzard.

Due to his new ability 『Envy Lord Leviathan』, he has lowered Velgrind's ability.

Moreover, Velzard's supposedly depleted energy had recovered for some reason.

The essence of 『Envy Lord Leviathan』 is to lower his opponent to below his level.

Moreover, it also had the effect of absorbing the opponent's energy ……

In addition to his absolute defensive power and Velgrind being outstanding in terms of maximum energy, Velzard also had energy absorption.

Now that his abilities had been lowered, it seemed impossible for Velgrind to win.

「This is finally, Velgrind. I'll commend you for growing stronger to be able to oppose me. However, the results will not change. You're not a threat to me when I get serious. Now, I have lowered your abilities by one level. It is impossible for you to have an advantage against me anymore. 」

Correct . To Velzard, Velgrind was not a threat even if he was a hindrance.

Due to the opposition of their abilities, Velgrind was unlikely to break through Velzard's defenses.

But–

「But, Nee-san. I don't have to beat you. Moreover, even if my abilities are lowered, the original acceleration ability is not affected at all. Since the ability only supports me, it won't affect me even if I lose them! 」

Velgrind declared without fear.

In fact, Velgrind's capabilities are focused on only one thing, which is 『Acceleration』.

Now that he had already circulated his energy at full strength, it would not affect him even if the ame of Fire God Cthugh ugh was sealed.

And the most important thing is—

(Quick, Guy. Hurry up and release Nee-san from their control!)

Velgrind did not have to defeat Velzard at all.

Velgrind's winning condition was to gain time until Guy released Velzard from Ultimate Dominion.

At that time, in the inner world of Velzard [6], Guy would finish the final touch

◆◆◆

Passing through some mental walls, Guy plunged into the abyss.

If he lost focus, his ego would be engulfed by Velzard's soul and the Spiritual Dives would be destroyed.

Then, Guy's consciousness will disappear.

On the other hand, if he were to forcefully push forward with all his strength, he would break Velzard's heart. If that happened, the result would be that Velzard released all of his energy after going berserk and a new "True Dragon" would be born somewhere in this world.

Guy should avoid that from happening.

Despite being under pressure, Guy passed through the wall impatiently.

Finally, he found it.

It was the young spirit Velzard who sat hugging his knees.

「Yo, I've been looking for you, you know?」

Guy spoke naturally and calmly.

This is a critical moment. One mistake would change Velzard's actions for the worse.

"Whatis that? What did you come here for? Are you here laughing at me? 」

Velzard asked while acting like he appeared. .

「No, I came to pick you up. Come back quickly, Velzard. 」

Guy shrugged and answered.

The answer made Velzard upset.

It's always the same.

Guy always spoke unilaterally and arrogantly only to Velzard.

He did not even care about Velzard and said things bluntly as if it was natural for him to do so.

"What's wrong with you! Guy, you never listen to my opinion. Always, I always have to be patient! As a Tuner, I have a role to guide this world left behind by my brother. That's why I'm always watching you so you won't go berserk. Even though I really hate him .... Even Velgrind went freely to the place of the man she loved and Veldora was so carefree and raging as she pleased. As for me, I held it off all the time, you know !? Everything is because you were acknowledged by my elder brother! That's because you're the only creature except my brother who can destroy this world. I'm not able to leave your side, you know ... I'm the only one who needs to have patience. I will never forgive you for that. Why do you have to support that suspicious slime now !? It would be fine if you stayed silent in this northern land! You are against my brother even though there is no way for you to win. Rather than letting you be killed by my brother, I would rather be the one who will kill you with my own hands! 」

Guy's words ignited the flames in Velzard's frozen heart.

When he went berserk, Velzard threw away all the displeasure he had felt until now.

With all his feelings, he attacked Guy with his willpower.

They become imaginary blades that cut through Guy's body, but Guy makes no attempt to dodge the attack.

He just stood there being hit by the attack without a fight as if he was trying to accept all of Velzard's anger and complaints.

「In addition ... You even acknowledge humans but you never acknowledge me ........ What do I do for you !? Although I always try my best, because I want to be recognized by you ... There is no place for me at all! 」

His attack gradually became weak, and eventually, Velzard began to beat Guy's chest weakly.

"Are you an idiot? I'm admitting you, you know? My colleague is just you. 」

「I'm an idiot, you said !? I Do not want to be called that way by You who will always do whatever you want! 」

「I guess there's nothing to be done about that. If you don't like it, can't you just say it? You worry too much about boring things, you know. Also, I lost to Veldanava a long time ago, okay? I will win next time! 」

Before he knew it, Velzard had stopped talking about Guy.

Then, he buried his face in Guy's chest.

「..... You are an idiot. There is no way you can win―― 」

「Maybe it's impossible for me alone. So please cooperate with me. You will fight together with me, right? Right, Velzard? 」

Velzard.

――Dan, heading very Guy-like words, Guy,

"I hate you . I really, really, really, really, really, really hate you. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you―― I hate you so much that I love you. 」

Velzard confessed with all his heart.

Guy's response to it was very simple――

「Yes, I know. 」

So, a simple word as if he was saying something insignificant.

「Very arrogant, you really don't please――」

"okay? That's proof that I'm me. 」

「Then, this makes me look like an idiot for worrying about being alone ....」

"Religion . I think so too, you know? 」

「..... Shouldn't this be the part where you deny it and comfort me?」

"Why? That's troublesome. Never mind, quickly turn off the controls. If you're not fast, I don't think Velgrind will last long. 」

In fact, if the fight was prolonged, Velgrind would be at a disadvantage.

If the energy supply of the "Soul Corridor" between him and Rimuru stopped, Velgrind's defeat would be a certainty.

「You are not as good as usual towards me――」

"Oh really? You're my partner anyway. I don't need to consider with you because we're like family, right? 」

「Mitra ...... Family ...... Family !?」

Velzard's face, buried in Guy's chest, instantly flushed red.

In a panic, Velzard jumped away from Guy.

Guy remained calm and paid no attention to the Velzard riots.

「Come away from here. 」

He said it without thinking about Velzard's feelings.

Although Velzard thought that Guy's attitude was somewhat disappointing, he felt relieved that Guy was responding to him as usual.

There was already no doubt in his heart and the light of intense desire returned to his eyes.

He then focused his mind on fighting the Ultimate Dominion that had been thrown at him.

「Understanding, I also strengthened myself. But, it won't be easy to bypass my brother's control .... 」.

「There's road. It seems that 『Control』 has been set using angel series skills as keys and keys [7]. Then, if you neutralize it with the Devil series skill, you can remove that key. If you do, no matter how strong your control is, you can resist it. 」

Guy answered without hesitation.

In his words, there was a strong belief that Velzard could do it.

「You make it sound very easy. Fine, I'll live up to your expectations. 」

So, Velzard overcame his own doubts and faced his brother's curse deep within his consciousness.

In response to Velzard's change of mind, the Supreme Skill engraved in his soul began to fight each other for control of his soul.

As Velzard will put it, 『Envy Lord Leviathan』 bites 『Patience Lord Gabriel』. However 『Patience Lord Gabriel』 stubbornly defies and tries to protect the control key with its powerful defensive power.

The fight in Velzard's inner world seems to be falling into a dead end, but Guy doesn't let it.

「Velzard, I'll help you a little. 」

Guy said so and activated his clone of the extraordinary abilities he had seen just a moment ago.

It was a "Change", which helped Velgrind overcome control and develop her skills.

"Question . Will you synthesize Ultimate Skill 『Sabar Lord Gabriel』 with 『Envy Lord Leviathan』 and activate "Change"? YES NO"

"World Voice" echoed within Velzard's mind.

(This is what Guy means as help !? But, let's trust him for this.)

Velzard replied YES without hesitation.

《Confirmed. Individual: “Main Skills Ice Dragon Velzard『 Patience Lord Gabriel 』dan『 Lord Leviathan vious who enviously synthesized and evolved into a Ultimate Skill 『Ice God Sovereign Cthulhu [8]』. 》

At the same time as the voice echoed within his inner world, the key that bound Velzard's heart shattered and vanished.

The key to a heart that he could never break, however desperate he tried to resist it until now had been shattered into pieces as if it were glass.

Velzard and his skills have united beautifully and beautifully.

(This is the mental state Velgrind reached !? And ―― the power that Guy gave me. If I had this ability, there would be no one to bind me.)

So, Velzard accepted it as a matter of course.

If he and Guy were to unite, they would have no opponents in this world.

「See, it's simple, right?」

Guy's voice, which was so arrogant to the point of disgusting, echoed in his mind.

「Ya, that ..... I really look like an idiot .....」

"You think so? But I don't hate it, you know? That's part of you too. 」

Velzard laughed a little because of Guy's words.

The young Velzard was nowhere to be seen now.

She returned to her original appearance like a woman, beautiful and graceful.

With a timid smile that could captivate everyone, he secretly muttered 「I'm at home. [9] 」to Guy.

◇◇◇

Guy's consciousness instantly returned to his body.

A hint of impatience could be seen in his expression.

He was the one who did it, but he was amazed by Velzard's quick change due to the "Change".

(Instead, what exactly is it? It was not at the level of capability modification. Besides, the only thing I did was activate it, I actually got the impression that something else had done it as a proxy..

To Guy who seemed to be drifting into his deep sea of thoughts,

"You back? What happened to my sister? 」

He heard Velgrind's voice ask him.

「Ahh, control released safely. He'll be up soon. 」

At the same time, Guy replied, Velzard woke up.

「I've caused some problems for you, Guy. And, Velgrind, I have shown you my bad side and I apologize for insulting Rudra. 」

He said so and lowered his head towards Guy and Velgrind.

「Agar Ane-sama apologized to me, I must have gone crazy. But, I'm so happy. It is impossible for me to tolerate that Nee-san is controlled by someone. 」

「It seems I've worried you. But putting aside whether Velda was Nii-san or not, it was true that her strength was comparable to Nii-san, you know? 」

「Huh. Even so, if she wasn't Nii-san-No, even if she was Nii-san, I wouldn't change my mind that I had to defeat Velda. After all, Velda was Rudra's enemy. 」

「You are very easy, heh, Velgrind. 」

The sisters stared at each other and confirmed each other's intentions.

Guy calls two guys with 「Don't think about it, let's end this quickly. 」.

Guy had already returned to his combat form while the two spoke.

And the three of them looked at the girl, who was Veldora's opponent.

Hero Chloe―― No, head for Manas: Lucia who has taken over her body.

However ―― along with her sword flashed, Chloe's body split in two.

No, it's just an illusion.

The will bar released from inside Chloe had disrupted the real world which was why such an image was shown to the people in this place.

Veldora has been cut here and there, but he has yet to receive a fatal injury.

Both sisters were relieved to see that.

Guy glued to his eyes Chloe――

(I understand, as I expected, it has been hidden—)

A faint smile appeared on Guy's lips.

Guy realized.

Lucia's extinction and Chloe's victory.
