Chapter 317: Elegant Escape Rimuru pt23

Then suddenly I realized. Is it really necessary to restore my hair and eye color back to normal?

I got a little carried away, but it was not an act that would hasten the disclosure of my identity.

Uh, is that a good reason?

… Okay, then fine.

It wasn't the most convincing argument, but it couldn't have been bad if Ciel said it was fine.

Now, before I quickly defeat Bernaclad, I must think of the students, just in case.

"Laplace! Protect the students here! "

"Sure!"

Faithfully, Laplace obeyed my orders and built a defensive barrier on top of the barrier that was already there.

In fact, it would be rather difficult for me in my current condition to withstand the shock waves from Laplace and Bernaclad, if they were to fight.

And of course, students can't either.

So I can't leave the battle to Laplace.

Tears were likely unable to defeat Bernaclad, so the best option was to fight him alone.

However, now the safety of students is guaranteed.

No matter how powerful the demon Bernaclad was, Laplace was an awakened demon king. If he created a defensive barrier, no attack would break through him.

The only thing I have to do is I beat Bernaclad.

"Ha ha ha . You think one little insect would be enough to comfort me? "

Bernaclad said confidently while looking at me.

“... Well, he's dead. ”

"But, if the others found out later that he spoke to Rimuru like that, and that we did nothing .. Wouldn't they be angry?"

"… The tears. Don't say such bad things. If Souei and Diablo find out about this .. I don't even want to imagine what they might do to us. They would not stop, regardless of Lord Rimuru's forgiveness. ”

"okay? Okay?"

“Well, thank God, we're the only ones here now. So let's keep it a secret. ”

"Good! I won't tell anyone. ”

"good. Otherwise, we will end up in the worst danger. ”

I could hear their voices whispering to each other, but I was the one who said that I was going to fight, so they were not responsible.

After all, a little bit, inevitably people will underestimate me now.

After all, I am no different from any other human being.

So Bernaclad's estimate of me wasn't too wrong.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think it'll be fun for you. It's not personal, but I don't like to hold back. If you want to be angry about it, don't hate me, hate yourself for having the wrong amount of power. ”

I said to Bernaclad, without much interest.

If he was just a little weaker, enough so that Stone Elephant and the others could stop him.

Or if I had one demon king awakened with me now, I would be able to disarm Bernaclad while still protecting the students.

But then again, Diablo, Souei or Shion and Benimaru would turn it into dust without a second thought. So maybe there was no other fate for him other than death.

Now that I think about it, it is not me, the Great Demon King, but my dangerous and extreme subordinates.

It's pretty impressive that I can put it all together.

I'm fine, really.

Oh

Ciel seemed to want to say something, but I'd rather not hear it.

I have to stop thinking about stupid things and deal with Bernaclad.

Bernaclad is not exactly what I just said.

I had humbly told him about his impending defeat, so no wonder he wasn't too amused.

"Haaahaha. You're a fun guy. However, you should know that such ignorance and misunderstanding of your own worth will do nothing but invite misfortune. ”

He smiled and showed no signs of moving.

Then he shrugged, sending out a burst of magic from his hand.

The nuclear attack magic, 'Nuclear Flame' burns everything around me. And burning the students behind me is also – or so it will happen to Bernaclad.

"Oh? Dying in one blow is hardly comforting, you know? Not only that, but I was also looking forward to slowly enjoying the taste of those students. But some of them appeared to be caught up in the attack. ”

There was a hint of regret in his voice as he watched the fire furnace he had created.

He believed in the energy and magic power he unleashed without a doubt.

Very bad!

"Is that true? You said it was one blow. But I'm just offering you the first step. Didn't I tell you? It's not a personal matter. So I thought that I might as well show off a little. ”

I had used 'Teleportation' to move to the large rock peak that was behind Bernaclad, and sat down. It was then that I spoke, while feeling a little pity for him.

And of course, all the students are fine.

Laplace had foreseen this, and created the 'Affluent Barrier' that isolated the students from the battlefield.

When Bernaclad finally realized this truth, he was overwhelmed with shock.

"You did what? Just now, what happened !? ”

Even when he asked a question, he slapped me at a speed that even my eyes could not keep up.

Apparently, Magnus' sword was quite sharp, and it cut the stone I was sitting on in half.

But, it's not about me.

While my eyes couldn't keep up, 'Magic Perception' and 'Godspeed Thought' allowed me to see Bernclad's movements and predict them.
