Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 245: The Resolute Battle at the Peak pt5

And so, I worked hard too.

I'm sure you all understand now that I'm not lazy at all.

Velda was surprised by my entrance.

That's natural, I guess.

After all, I appeared here using the 'Instant Teleportation' I obtained just a moment ago.

Just when I got it, Ciel implemented it to the 'Void God Azathoth'.

It seemed like Mai could not go anywhere except the places she had visited, but that was only the limit for humans. This is inevitable because most of their perception of space is through sight.

However, I added surveillance magic into it and was able to capture a lot of space information easily. In other words, this meant that I could instantly teleport to anywhere I could feel.

Even now, I can understand the situation through the eyes of Diablo and Veldora-san. That was also the reason why I could easily come.

Seeing Velda standing guard because of my appearance, I put on a bold smile.

I provoked him.

With this, he would probably be more careful of me. My plan was to continue my preparations to stop Velda in that gap.

Before Velda could do anything, I suppressed the energy and absorbed everything.

Fortunately, my energy was still not recovered so the 'Void Space' continued to be charged. And Ciel-san diligently turned it into an energy that I could use.

Thanks to that, my energy, which was starting to thin out, was rechargeable and now I can deal with Velda easily.

You never know what might prove to be lucky.

By the way, after coming to this place, I found out why my energy was not filled.

The villain behind it might be Veldora-san.

I think he rampaged around after making a clone.

He can now replenish his energy using the 'Soul Corridor' with me so that it is unmistakable.

That's what I thought but …

When I confirmed with Ciel, a shocking reply resurfaced.

[That's true . I also sent a little to Diablo and Benimaru. And more energy was depleted in developing Velgrynd's abilities than I expected. ]

He replied cheerfully as if wanting to say 'how about that?' .

He said it so casually that I was at a loss how to answer it.

Now, listen here, you're using my energy of your own volition, you know ……

But, even though I wanted to complain, I was a little helped by the low energy.

I have a lot to say but I decided not to.

Or rather, maybe ……

Is this situation also within the scope of Ciel's hypothesis or something like that?

No, no, no, no, of course not. I must have thought too much about it.

Like right?

There was no way she could see that far into the future and also predict what kind of actions Velda would take.

[I confirm that the energies of the angels returned to the celestial world after they were defeated. ]

Yeah, I know that.

[It is clear that the most efficient way to use all the energy collected in the celestial world is to make it go wild. Thus, as a means to that situation, I maintained a state of 'low energy' intentionally. ]

No, you make it sound so easy but ..... If you were a little worried, wouldn't that be a very big deal?

Moreover, Velda might have absorbed all the energy and become extremely powerful or something.

I can't possibly fight Velda when I run out of gas and what are your plans if my energy doesn't recover properly?

[Being super strong or 'something' is impossible. If he could become strong easily, he wouldn't have much trouble. After all, if he became extremely strong, it would not be a problem anymore. I cannot think of losing my master just because it has less energy and even in that case, by taking Veldora and Velgrynd by force, it is possible to replenish 60% energy in an instant. Thus, there is no problem at all. ]

Ah, is that really so.

You stated that being super strong is impossible but what about me?

Am I perhaps an exception?

…… I feel you overestimated me, Ciel-san.

Ciel-san is the type who gets things done when they say they will.

And so, out of generosity, he continued to distribute energy.

Veldora-san and Velgrynd are recovering their own energy right now so I guess it will probably make them cooperate with me, in the worst case scenario.

Whether they want to or not may be a problem, but it is a relief to know that there is a powerful way.

I felt like I had just caught a glimpse of Ciel-san's fear but my doubts were gone.

All that was left was to defeat Velda.

And, before that ……

I saw the ball in my left hand.

After absorbing all the energy, the core of it might remain.

It seems similar to the doll I made but the concept is completely different.

What exactly is this—

"Yes! I thought it was for me but to think I would live like this, huh? Although, saying I'm 'living' feels a bit strange. Ahhaha!"

That speaks ?!

I stared at the surprised ball.

It had no vocal cords or anything so it seemed to use magic to vibrate atoms to make sounds. Highly skilled environment.

“Rudra! You, okay ... or it doesn't seem like it, but isn't it? "

Velgrynd asked, despite the slight difficulty, to the ball.

Hmm... This ball, Rudra?

I felt his personality was completely different from the Rudra I knew …

"Well! Well, besides, my skills are solid! ”

No no No .

Even if you say you are solidly into a living space, it is somewhat …

Or rather when I will reply recklessly–

Velda came to close the gap between us in an instant and tried to cut me.

However, since I did not let my guard down even while speaking, I kicked the sword thrust into the ground and stopped the Velda sword with him.

"Too naive! I'm not underestimating you too much to let my defense here, at the final stage! "

I don't really want to praise him but it's the truth so it can't help.

Velda was undoubtedly the strongest person I knew.

Judging from the brief glance I got about him, he seemed to become stronger. It felt like a combination of powerful almighty power, Milim power and dragon energy level.

I thought about attacking him while he was still wary of me, but it was right to stop. As expected, I shouldn't have let my defense around this guy. I must proceed with caution. Besides .... There's something else that worries me.

And while such things exist, there's no way I'll let my guard wear off.

After exchanging a few blows with him, I made some distance between us.

Just now it wasn't even a preliminary test, it was more of a greeting.

First off, you won't really feel used to a sword that doesn't belong to you. Or rather, this sword was also quite good, due to the level of a God.

In terms of pure performance, this is better than me.

Even then, since I was used to using mine and it felt much better, I would not be unfaithful to it.

“Hahaha, you're pretty good. To be able to use my sword, well. But you still have a lot to learn. Unfortunately, it seems like you are not my true follower. ”

The ball I held in my left hand continued to provide such an evaluation.

Or rather .... how do I say ... what are you?

Since I hugged you, I had to deal with Velda with just my right hand, you know? It is standard for me to use a sword with two hands, so I am not used to this.

“What are you doing again? The Rudra I knew was the emperor so he was also quite arrogant, but you were on a completely different level. ”

"I saw . I became emperor. Well, if I stopped aiming higher after that then I would have softened already, huh? ”

“It doesn't really matter to me and I'm not interested either. So, what exactly are you? ”

Ignoring the ball when I started talking about myself, I asked an important question.

I can't casually face it with Velda in front of me.

Reproductive memories?

Velgrynd's words caught my interest.

[It looks like this ball has the ability to reproduce the memories of the dead. However, even if he was able to reproduce that person so well, reproducing a soul was a different matter. Should be no more than a copy but–]

Well of course, just reproducing the memories will not make the real person come back to life.

What matters is the soul, the heart.

“This is certainly interesting. The memory balls I created only reproduced the memory. It had no feature of bringing back the soul. If that were possible, I would not have gone through this disturbing plan. ”

It seemed that Velda was also interested in this phenomenon.

He seemed to be well aware of the field he was creating and the fact that Rudra gained free will by himself should have been impossible.

"Haha hahahaha! There it is, you know. I'm too strong, that's how it is. ”

Let's ignore the boasting sound coming from the ball in my left hand.

Rudra must be dead.

There is no doubt about that but …

[–This is just a possibility but, one reason could be that she might be reincarnated. ]

Reincarnated? Whatchu mean?

[Emperor Rudra spent his soul reincarnating several times. It is possible that a tired soul gathers and becomes another soul. It was not an existing soul or a fake soul, it had a heart with a high degree of freedom. ]

The soul that he held back during his reincarnation gathered into one?

This may be a false analogy, but is it like collecting eraser dust and squeezing it together?

Although looking at the soul in the same way as an eraser is a problem.

It's not something you think about normally, but there's no way to say that it's definitely not true.

After all, when you think about it, I reincarnated as slime is also impossible.

So, in this world somewhere, there was someone who held the shards of Rudra's soul and thus, the memories reproduced by the memories of the orb could also reproduce his will, right?

If that's the case then–

I'm sober. And then, I executed what my mischievous heart commanded.

"Rimuru, what are you– ?!"

"Hahah, this is amazing!"

Velgrynd raised his voice in confusion.

And Rudra wanted to know.

Not that I did anything great.

I just threw the sword towards Velgrynd.

However, after combining the memory ball in my left hand to the God sword in my right hand.

I inserted a shining ball into the sword body roots of the Gods. I combine them in such a way that they become one with the sword.

If he was truly reincarnated with a soul, then by possessing a sword, Rudra should be able to bring out his own abilities.

I made it that way so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

I also made Ciel-sensei turn Rudra into a pseudo Manse so that the owner could also talk to him.

It should have been obvious but I've analyzed the memory orb data.

"I made him into a 'Living Sword'. I fused the sword with Rudra's will so from now on, it couldn't be used by anyone who didn't have the same wavelength as him. In other words, it would be proof that the person who met the requirement to wield the sword was Rudra's reincarnation. Interesting, right? ”

I thought I'd be scolded like, 'Don't go do whatever you like!' or something but Velgrynd had just received the sword and hugged it.

Rudra laughed like he was having fun.

"Haha! I see, so you're saying there's a chance I'm reincarnated? I understand, it will also prove why I have the freedom of will! It's interesting . ”

Hearing Rudra, Velgrynd also nodded, agreeing.

Velda felt irritated but also looked satisfied somewhere when she glared at me.

Thinking about how and why his plan failed, he admitted that my deduction was — or rather, Ciel, correct.

Using the gap when Velda saw the 'Living Sword', I unsheathed my sword and took a stance.

With this, I can go all out.

“But still, seeing that my boss will remain completely intact, a reincarnated person like me must be a coward, huh? I look forward to meeting him. ”

“Fufu, maybe it is. All that remains is your charisma — your pride and your property remain ... But, when you think about it upside down, he may inherit the fortune. If he really is somewhere, I would like to meet him. Your reincarnation, who was really lucky and coward– ”

Velgrynd said casually.

Really lucky and coward–? Someone does come to mind but well, that is impossible.

He has no charisma but the luck he believes in does more than compensate him …

The ability he possessed was also 'The Chosen One' if I remember correctly ……

It's coincidence. It's gotta.

I ignored Rudra and Velgrynd's talk and decided not to think about it anymore.

If fate wanted it, then they would meet by chance and if he was really Rudra's reincarnation, then they would definitely meet even without me saying anything about it.

Moreover, if, by chance, what I consider to be true, he might not be able to escape from Velgrynd.

Well, that doesn't matter to me.

I kind of feel like I might have overdid some things but that's their problem now.

Despite being irresponsible, I decided not to get in touch with Rudra's matter going forward.

Buying such time seems to have worked.

Velda became too wary of me and was unwilling to use an all-out attack.

I just lightly parried it and waited for the preparations to be completed.

And finally

“I did it, Rimuru! Gaia and I sealed the entire celestial world into another dimension! ”

Ramiris Shouts.

“Alright, good work! With this, there was nowhere to run! ”

I smiled victory towards Velda.

It would be meaningless if he ran away after we cornered him so far.

So, I brought Ramiris and Gaia – Earth Dragons, to the celestial world to fully seal the place.

Ramiris already has a labyrinth so it is impossible for him but Gaia can create a fake labyrinth – she demonstrated it before.

Under Ramiris' guidance, Gaia's labyrinth completely covered the entire celestial world.

"You, so that's your goal !!"

For the first time, colors of emotion could be seen in Velda's expression.

And it was anxiety, as I wanted.

And on top of that, Ramiris and Gaia manage to save Milim, who is captured.

"Kyuuii—- !!"

"Gaia! When did you become so strong ?! "

Milim was saved safely and shocked by Gaia's growth.

“We're done with our mission here, Rimuru! Now, send him flying! ”

Ramiris gave me the sign 'GO' arrogantly.

Add to that,

“To be honest, I wanted to do it but I couldn't win. Rimuru, answer me! ”

Milim.

"Make it to me . I will carve it into his body – retribution he got for laying hands on my ally! ”

I replied Milim raised one hand and also declared to Velda.

Well, since all the problems are solved, let's solve this.

That's what I thought but …

An extremely loud explosive sound rang out and one corner of the heaven world crashed.

I looked in that direction in surprise but–

There, I could see Veldora-san who had become pitch-black.
