Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 348: It Happens in an Instant

Karman didn't even let his guard down.

And again…

“You must pay for your crime of desecrating this gift from Lord Rimuru. ”

By the time the cold voice reached him, Beretta, who was supposed to be held back by the five Powered Suits, had disappeared.

"What!?"

He frantically searched the area with his sensors, but Beretta was nowhere.

"… !!"

There was a scream and then one of his colleagues fell.

It's hard to believe this happened.

And in the next second, Karman had to rethink everything.

The air seemed to rotate when Beretta appeared.

In front of him, the others–

"Jogg! Behind you!!"

"-uh?"

Karman's screams didn't reach him.

Beretta moved faster than the speed of sound itself as her thin arm pierced and tore the Powered Suit.

Many tentacles pulled Jogg out, and the empty Powered Suit shattered to the ground.

What happened to the first man?

He now understands.

"M-impossible …"

"What ... he made us both in a second …"

Two other people whispered to each other. Karman feels the same way.

However, unlike his men, who were only surprised, Karman thought of a way out of this.

(How did he move like that just now? As if space has moved – could it be space teleportation !?)

Moving that fast would cause a shockwave.

However, nothing happened.

He has moved faster than sound without affecting the atmosphere – Karman has never heard of such a thing, not even as a rumor.

So – it's not movement, but teleportation.

And his thoughts are close to the truth.

Beretta's Supreme Prize, Deus Ex Machina's 'Space Manipulation', allows her to change her own position.

It was limited to the area he could see, but it was the same as teleportation.

"What?! Stop !! ”

The third man's been arrested by Beretta now.

Karman saw this and moved on.

"Family . Don't underestimate me !! ”

He had prepared his Neutron Launcher after the second person fell, and he was now firing it without hesitation.

The neutron beam turns into a missile that shoots towards Beretta at the speed of light.

The effect is the transfer of a large amount of kinetic energy as the reaction collides with the target, turning the target into a hot plasma.

–Or should.

"A-what ... IMPOOSSSIBBLEEE !!"

A phenomenon so unreal happened before Karman's eyes.

The neutron beam had changed direction just before it hit Beretta and disappeared into the ceiling.

In Karman machine-assisted vision, he could see residual light from a neutron beam as it reacted with atomic nuclei in the atmosphere and turned into plasma before disappearing into the ceiling.

There was enough information to convince him that this was not an observational error.

Beretta's still standing there.

However, he did not shut up.

Crunch, Crack, Snap – spooky noises erupt as the ends of Beretta's tentacles successfully destroy the Powered Suit she has released.

This process looked like a display of Beretta anger, and Karman could not help but feel fear.

"W-what ...what did you just do?"

He could no longer bear to see the scene, so he asked a question.

He didn't even expect an answer, but it was shocking quickly.

“Simple only. I determined the nature of the attack and I dealt with it. I guess it's a weapon that collects particles and releases them at incredible speeds. But the scary thing … "

Beretta said, before continuing.

It seems simple enough to change the angle of space and send the beam out of track.

Because as long as the particles do not react to the nucleus of the target atom, it is not a threat.

“Ka-you said you understood after the first attack? But, how did you not get hurt !? I saw you get hit … "

"Without wounds? You ruined the mask that Lord Rimuru gave me. And you say 'not hurt' !! And not only that, but this face that must be hidden … "

Beretta looked like she was trying to control her anger.

While the hole in his stomach seemed like it should be a bigger problem, he was more preoccupied with the mask he held in his hand.

Beretta is very mistaken and this makes it harder for Karman to think clearly.

However, just then, the last person Karman had been waiting for such an opportunity, attacked Beretta from behind.

The Hand Powered Suit has a number of barrels on it. And now one of them released a rainbow of light.

It's thermal plasma.

It came from a thermonuclear reactor and was launched as a weapon.

"I did it!!"

He shouted . And the overwhelming heat struck Beretta — however, not a single hair from her beautiful silver key caught fire.

Beretta stood unharmed in the midst of the colorful plasma attack.

It was a mystical sight. So much so that Karman looked at her with a feeling of awe.

Then-then

Beretta laughed.

The only reason Beretta was damaged the first time the Neutron Launcher was used, was because it was an unknown attack.
