Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 299: Elegant Escape Rimuru pt17

It seems they have understood my explanation to date.

To be honest, it would not be surprising for the remnants of the empire to possess such a skill.

Though, it was really something so bad that it could not be called a secret art in the true sense …

However, at least I can admit that it is a true and stable art.

Besides…

It's not like you're always assimilating with the devil. And it's an interesting idea to be able to use that power only when you need it.

For example, seeing the power Guy gave to Leon's subordinates – 'Hybrid Soul Fusion secret art, ' is the merging of two demons with the same power.

This secret art allows parties with a strong desire to take over. It's like poisoning someone.

It is a forbidden art. And of course, you can't cancel it.

All or nothing.

It is dangerous, because you must have the determination to risk your own soul.

On the other hand, Demon Fusion, which was an art that the empire had developed, was established to create manageable contracts with demons willing to serve.

Once security is secured, it is possible to fuse when needed.

Unlike fusing with a spirit, you can gain power easily without strengthening your own astral.

It looks very comfortable.

But-but

It was a mistake to use Satan.

The price to pay was a fixed amount of magic power. But with that, you can at least feel the pleasure of using the demonic power that fused with you.

If you can't honor the contract, then the demons will just leave.

In other words, when you can't fight a stronger opponent.

It was convenient for an opponent weaker than you .. but it was not very reliable when it mattered.

Also, the devil goes away when you run out of magic.

There were even demons who injured their summoners because they were bored.

In the case of Magnus and the others, such an action is prevented by a contract .. but it is likely impossible to control the actions of demons once you do not have magic to use as payment.

You can't make it work if you don't have anything to offer.

In that case, I can think of a number of ways to defeat them.

◇◇◇

They all listened to my explanation and their expressions brightened up.

Until now, they were desperate because they thought they had no chance of winning.

Shit . Too bad they gave up so quickly.

"How can…"

"Magnus that. To have such dangerous power ... When it is very dangerous for us to fight even with the Great Devil .. ”

Julius and Karma muttered with sad expressions.

With many differences between them, they were still seriously fighting. So I can understand why they are so self-pitying …

–Still, it is not like it is necessary to fight directly through conventional means.

But they still want to fight well after hearing my explanation. I don't know if I should call him honest or just stupid.

"Hey, hey. Are you listening to what I'm saying? Don't you understand that you can't win by fighting head-on, like an honest fool? Then start thinking differently! Is that head on your shoulder or is it just a decoration? Why don't you use that brain! ”

I beat them a little.

Hearing these words, the faces of the students became excited again after feeling despair.

And then simultaneously, they began to discuss possible ways to defeat them.

“Usually, when you call a spirit or a demon, it takes a lot of magic. According to the story I heard, even an advanced summoner can only summon a Great Demon for at most about ten minutes! ”

“I heard it too. Even so, they say that an Elementalist known as a contractor can make spirits appear longer .. ”

“I've never heard a demon recognize a human. And if it's done at their will, it's only for the short-term "

"hold? Does that mean there's a time limit to Magnus' power? "

Hm. Hm.

There are advanced demons like Venom, who have recognized Masayuki, but let's forget about that for now.

It seemed that the students had realized that there was a time limit to Magnus' power.

And now that they realized it, the discussion became even more lively.

“After all, we need to buy more time. After we confirm that the demon power has been activated, we need to draw the fight as long as possible. ”

"I saw . So that's what all this physical exercise is for. Right, Mr Satoru! ”

No?

It was just revenge.

It's as if you'll get stronger after running for a day.

The only thing you will get is a sore muscle.

"So you noticed. You guys really grew a lot in one day! ”

I suppressed my true feelings and nodded.

And with that alone–

"Mr Satoru !!"

Some idiots were shouting with emotion.

They are too simple .. Well, part of them is also a little cute.

After that, the discussion continued. And they finally have an outline of their new strategy.

“... So, like that. This type of battle will revolve as a team and push Magnus back. This type of magic would support them while also interfering with Magnus and the others. What do you think of that?"

Julius represented the others and explained their plans to me.

This plan was made with the consideration of advice from other teachers as well.

It seems they believe that this is the best thing to do right now. And I could see that Julius' expression had regained his trust.

I saw . Aye .

Well, it's been well thought out.

For the most part, it fits with my own thoughts on the matter.

<< No use at all. What was important was their direct fighting ability against Magnus. Really not adequate. This idea of rotation has a success rate of zero percent. They didn't even have time to activate the distraction magic. If Magnus became serious, he would kill their entire vanguard in ten seconds. >>

Correct

My own mind is too careless.

"That's not good . This plan would end with Magnus and the others killing everyone. ”

I don't actually think that Magnus is cruel. That's why I think this plan will be fine …

But Ciel doesn't like to take into account the enemy's emotions when making calculations.

He would not calm down unless he considered the worst possible scenario, so he could be prepared for anything.

<< Damn everything. Why didn't they use their brains and at least think of something, like taming the Poison Tiger. >>

Whahuh? You can do it?!

And, 'at least?' Is there anything higher they can go to?

Well, it would be easy for me, I guess …

<< Master, you sent Laplace here to solve the problem with the island owner, but .. It is sad that these students are incapable of thinking. Do you disagree, sir? >>

Uh, yeah.

So that's how it is …

Have I given such an order to Laplace without realizing it?

I had sent Laplace to greet the Stone Elephant who ruled the center, and told him to be careful not to be rude …

But in Ciel's mind, I've read further ahead.

I understand everything, it seems like he wants to say.

Well, I don't understand it myself. But maybe it's better to be quiet about that.

Back then–
