Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 71: Evolution

They fled with all their might.

The strength of their pride foot, trained for the purpose of killing monsters, was used only to get away from that place at that moment.

Something extraordinary had happened right before their own eyes, and that was what their brains instinctively ordered.

Thus, they had to immediately escape from this place.

As if it was a demon king, as the monster noticed a living existence, all the men simultaneously fled for their own survival.

Those who survived simultaneously acted immediately.

They calculated that this would increase their chances of survival, even in the slightest.

That's what men do.

They had not heard that such a monster was here.

As soon as the light dazzled, thousands of soldiers died. Even those who have built up resistance to fear cannot help but panic.

Their hearts have not been broken just by fear of their owner, Sakaguchi Hinata, whom they serve.

Hinata hates them, but even if they are treated like worms, this will only make them feel grateful rather than angry.

It's something obvious.

It was because they were attracted by his incredible heart and strength, so they promised loyalty to him out of fear.

They are strong individuals. And in terms of battle prowess, they could rival even a holy knight.

Yet even within the group, they were no match for Hinata.

This had created an absolute horror within them.

They were unlikely to think of any dissatisfaction.

TN Comment: Masochist troops?

Unbeknownst to them, this fear benefits them because thankfully they can survive.

The reason for that was that when their hearts were broken from fear, they would be as good as dead.

Their desire to tell Hinata about this had desperately pushed for their actions.

They believed that if it was Hinata, he could defeat the monster.

However, the hopes of those people would be shattered. Because in the eyes of their pursuers, they were simply simple prey.

All for the sake of being recognized.

The miserable prey lives on for the sake of confession.

Without a sound, the devil chased its prey.

Hunting after a long time. It would be my fault if I didn't have fun.

The amazing party given earlier, I was very satisfied.

This hunt will be a great after-meal workout.

「Kufufufu. This is good, isn't it? Please entertain me ~ 」

He muttered with a crooked expression.

His smile was a smile that would bring out fear from the roots of the soul within the heart of the beholder.

Already, his two subordinates were released, there was no escape for the prey.

In front of the fleeing people, two demons blocked their path.

They suddenly appeared in front of them using spatial transportation.

Leaving behind their friends, the impatient people who immediately chose to escape had already disappeared.

Given the symbol of fear that is Hinata, they desperately hold on to the thin limits of their minds.

The situation will not change for the better.

However, pride in working for the church had allowed the Blood Shadow to regain his confidence.

Instantly he was able to deduce the identity of the demon.

It was a bigger demon.

That's a dangerous enemy. However, the three of us.

He can win against one in a 1 vs 1 situation, there is no way they can lose in a 3 vs 2.

「Cih! He called out the hard ones! 」

「However, he does not pursue himself, maybe he is physically exhausted. 」

"Yes it's true . Raging to that level would definitely consume magical energy, that's what I heard. 」

While they were conversing with each other, the larger demons took a defensive stance.

The larger demons showed no signs of moving. The reason is that they are ordered only to act in certain areas.

The beautiful demon that calmly walked from behind was one of them.

「Kufufufu. Is this chase scene over? Then, allow me to catch them. If they refuse, please do whatever you want. However, do not kill, because we do not want to end their suffering, pay attention. 」

With a twisting smile, a beauty whose gender could not be determined had spoken.

Seeing this spectacle, his legs gave up, resulting in incontinence.

With no strength left to complain, he did not even have the slightest intention to resist. Destroyed in an instant, his spirit had been destroyed.

「* Strange squealing sound *....」

TN Note: this actually translates into something, but in the end it's just nonsense.

No words are formed because of their fear.

These three men are notorious murderers who handle the church's dirty work. They were men whose skill in fighting monsters was the best.

The three men instantly recognized something as they watched this.

On the contrary, the fact that they are still alive to witness the death of many others is commendable.

The greater demon, only one of the many substitutes worked. The demons before their eyes were in a different league.

Its existence could be called as: Arch Demon.

An inhabitant in the spirit world as well as to the physical world where humans lived, it was an existence above demons.

It was a spirit beast, unmoved by the power of this world unless it was reincarnated.

Basically, they were on the same level as spirits.

When summoned with magical energy, all one could do was acquire a temporary physical body and its functions for a short period of time.

However, there are also those who gain a physical body in the physical world.

One of the oldest demon kings is an example.

The demon lord was certain that there were remnants of his previous memories of becoming an Arch Devil.

Arch Demons were the pinnacle of authoritarian figures of the demon type.

Unofficially confirmed and only in a few records, they were half-legendary monsters.

Their power, "A +", is said to be on par with the pre-demonic ruling class.

And their strength, remains as the demon king of legends.

A single demon who destroyed many cities.

Both in name and reality, it was said to be the strongest of the demon lords.

Such a being with the caliber of a demon lord, the Demon Arch was right before his eyes.

Naturally, he had never heard of this. However, the poison that enveloped his body was not something that was easily lost.

There was no doubt, the Arch Demon had appeared.

There is no means of victory. Far from it, it was impossible to escape.

Even disaster-class monsters could compete with it because of the disaster-class monsters themselves. (ED: I really don't know what this means)

Against a monster like this, even 100 great Devils were much better opponents.

People lost all hope and fainted on the spot.

Looking at their state in satisfaction, Satan had an extremely distorted smile on his face.

Satan caught the three men, and had his subordinates bring them back to the city.

One of them was appointed to lock up the arrested men.

＊ ＊ ＊

Right in front of Benimaru's eyes, Rimuru's body had undergone an irregular and strange change of its mucus shape.

Immediately calm down, returning to its original flow form.

However, this time it turned out to be suspicious flashing colors like red, blue, yellow, green and purple. There are also various black and white colors.

And like this, some time has passed. At this point their sense of time had become lost.

People began to worry about how long it had passed.

"Warning . Individual: The evolution of the Demon lord Rimuru Tempest has been completed. Furthermore, the blessing of all affiliated monsters will begin》

"World sound" echoed.

Suddenly, the waves sleepy.

It seems that Rimuru's evolution was a success, Benimaru thought.

Next it was their turn, but they never thought that they might get sleepy.

Thus they fall asleep unable to resist the urge.

However, he made an appointment with Rimuru, he couldn't possibly fall asleep on his own.

At that moment, Rimuru's body emitted a dazzling beam of light.

When the light died down, it revealed a beautiful creature with long shiny silver hair.

Removing the familiar mask, it was Rimuru.

With silver hair flowing down her cheeks, it was a display of heavenly beauty.

It is tragic that this creature has no gender.

TN: Benimaru, ruin the moment.

"WARNING . Leave the rest to me, please sleep》

A voice echoed softly in his head.

That voice gave Benimaru a deep sense of security.

Benimaru, guided by that voice, was led into an unbearable sleep.

By the time he was told, Rimuru had long looked around to make sure no one else was awake.

Only Myulan was awake, looking around, noticing the unbelievable scene.

With the exception of Youmu, all other humans are already taking shelter in emergency shelters to escape from the high concentration of magical energy.

Therefore, the only person who was still awake here was Myulan.

The person with Rimuru's appearance confirmed this fact with expressionless eyes.

Slowly, he began to open his arms.

Long hair flowed backwards, and angel wings grew, sunning the environment with a dazzling light.

"WARNING . The God of Wisdom (Raphael) has ordered. The greedy king (Beelzebub) will devour all the magical energy within the barrier》

With his orders, the greedy King began.

A brutal amount of force was unleashed.

However, this time there was a reason for the activation of this ability.

This can be traced to the results that the Lord of Wisdom has calculated.

Inside the tempest city, all the magical energy was absorbed, making it an empty space.

After the barrier that covered the city had been devoured cleanly, the King's voracious abilities were stopped.

As if there was nothing at all.

Creatures with the appearance of Rimuru are agents (Raphael) of the subconscious (Master).

Raphael walked over to Shion where he had originally laid down.

His hand hovered over the area, the analysis had begun.

And carefully. To fulfill the wishes of the Lord.

Myulan watched the figure in surprise.

Being inside the barrier, there was a threat that they would voraciously pose in an instant, but even so ……

It is impossible .

With the master in an unconscious state. Ability to take autonomous action.

If the order was issued earlier, it was understandable, but not so this time.

On top of that, the presence of this heavenly figure, was very different from Rimuru.

Rather, it was closer to a spirit than a monster.

It was a stupid thing, yet he felt that this was not a laughing matter.

However, Myulan was just watching without interrupting.

＊ ＊ ＊

In response to Benimaru's request, Youmu was waiting at the exit of the city.

Next to him, the demon Grucius.

With the King Escaping from the Farma and Blood Shadow Captured, they were asked to watch over them to make sure they did not escape.

But since there was a barrier, no one entered or exited.

So, even if Grucius was inside the city, Ranga was still outside.

The king was to be detained, tied up by subordinates and then transported into the building.

TN Note: If you don't understand why Gurcius was outside before, but inside the city now, it's because he received a package known as the Shadow of Blood and King of Pharma, which he is known for, and now watch over them in a structure in the city.

Due to the thick concentration of Magical energy, the conditions outside the house were poor. However, for various reasons, it was still too early to kill him.

He had heard that there were three escapes that were currently being chased by the summoned demon Rimuru.

So, Ranga went to sleep with that information in mind.

It seemed that he had originally intended to wait, but in order to receive the reward, sleep was necessary.

It seems he was also sound asleep.

While watching him,

「But, to truly become a demon king, I think it's just a legend.....」

The concentration of magical energy was terrifying but with Youmu outside the city, it was still possible to communicate with him.

With regards to such matters, Youmu heard nothing, not even rumors.

Even he who was familiar with the back door, there were still events that he did not know about, such as the evolution of the demon lord.

Rimuru Danna, a demon lord. He looks back emotionally.

「But, I have a feeling that even though danna became the demon lord, nothing will change. 」

He was deep in thought without muttering a word.

Grucius nodded with a laugh.

「That's for sure. 」

Both said and hoped that no change would happen in Rimuru.

To think that the others were thinking the exact same thing, the couple was happy. Great minds really think alike.

「Shion, I hope he resurrects ....」

「Maybe there's nothing to worry about. Did you know that monsters, unlike humans, are extremely stubborn creatures? 」

Saying this, Grucius laughed.

It's a carefree idea, and Grucius looks so.

「Hey you, so which demon lord are you serving? Can you tell me? 」

He asked about something that was bothering him,

「Oh! You noticed.

Everyone ignores this topic ……

At first I was confused about how easy it is to deceive you.

But actually, I .... 」.

Then, under the command of the demon king Karion, I was ordered to act as I wished.

Thus, until the demon lord had issued his next order, he had decided to work under Youmu as his subordinate.

Youmu nodded, though,

「It's nice to help you, and I'll count on you」

And they tightly shook hands.

Gracius and Myulan.

From now on, the couple will support Youmu.

.

The duo chatted, though,

「Oya, are you here to give something? 」

A voice sounded.

What he saw was a beautiful demon.

In Youmu's eyes, the larger demons showed dignity.

However, what Grucius saw was different.

All the hairs on his body stood upright as he sensed the opponent's magical energy.

「Oyoy, this is the first time I've met you. Are you an Arch Demon? What are you doing here? 」

Grucius was still a young demon, he had no experience in talking to the demon lord as a partner.

He doesn't even know about Milim, he's lacking information about the world.

That was why, this was actually the first time he had encountered a Demon Demon. But the danger can be felt with a single glance.

「Kufucu. No need to worry.

I'm just a nameless demon called by Rimuru.

The two left there are only part of my duty.

For Rimuru alike, I just want to show her my usefulness. 」

What came out was a beautiful and friendly voice.

But when he looked up, the two men who were staring at the bigger demon had fainted.

There was no magic detected in this, it was very likely that he had the combat ability of a majin.

This is the Arch Demon? This is no joke.

That's what he thought, but he didn't say anything.

Resistance is futile . So while Gracius was agitated, Youmu had trusted the man.

King Farmas was taken by his subordinates.

While they were having such a conversation, the barrier suddenly disappeared.

Looks like something happened.

Grucius and Youmu looked at each other, and started running towards the town square.

The demon did not run, but calmly used spatial movements.

With an understanding of spatial transfer, this was something trivial.

With the displacement of his space, he was the first to find Rimuru, and approached.

With silvery hair flowing beautifully, it looked like it was performing some sort of ritual for a dead monster.

Beautiful, she obediently embraced this impression. He wanted to watch this scene happily, but he could not do it anymore.

He quietly approached to avoid causing any disturbance, and knelt down.

「I have returned, my lord. 」

He called while paying attention with ama to make sure he did not disturb his master.

He should have waited until the end of the ceremony, he was worried.

「I'm sorry for my rudeness, however, there doesn't seem to be enough energy」

What the Devil witnessed was a ceremony most likely called the recall arcane soul recall〉.

Before resurrecting the dead, the secret is trying to create a perfect soul replication.

If it fails, the person could be someone completely different, or even a monster.

Based on the wisdom that humans will never understand, this mysterious magic was created.

Of course in order to actually use it, a large amount of energy would actually be needed, and the amount of energy needed to control it was unimaginable.

Even High-class Devils would usually fail to control it.

Therefore only the most skilled with soul manipulation within the demon clan would see this.

"Yes . The insufficiency of energy for the purpose of awakening is fully confirmed. Thus, a certain amount of life force would be consumed as a substitute. 》

These words caused the Devil to panic.

「Please wait a minute Rimuru alike! To use your own life force as a substitute …

That's her! There's a better idea!

Please use this one instead! 」

After finding joy in this idea, the Devil had proposed such a thing to Rimuru

The larger demon walked over from behind, and knelt in front of him.

「For me, there is no greater joy than being a help to you. 」

「……」

Rimuru, without Raphael, observed the demon with two glowing red eyes.

There was no emotion reflected in those beautiful eyes,

《Understood. The amount of energy is sure to be enough to cover the remaining portion. 》

Later, he is devoured by the King of Gluttony (Beelzebub) without a fight.

As he devoured, the greater demon was put away.

Then, he repented into pure energy.

He is useful to his master, his wish fulfilled. The energy shone with a joyful color.

TN Note: The one eaten was his subordinate, not the Arch Demon himself.

「Oh ……! I envy you, a lot. However, as expected of my master. Compared to when I saw you before, you have experienced growth! 」

He looked at the evolution of masters with aspiring eyes.

Being reborn as a demon king, in order to serve a beautiful lord, that was the will of Satan.

TN Comments: “ Very unfortunate, but has no gender. ”

– Benimaru

To that end, it could be said that he has proven to be beneficial.

He would do anything in his power to prove his worth.

《Number of required energy has been confirmed. Now, it's about to start. 》

Confirming that the amount of energy was sufficient, the Devil was silent.

Unless his turn came, he was afraid that if he intervened it would only bring failure.

Right in front of the Devil's eyes, it had been successfully completed.

The light ball was transparent and beautiful, covered by a thin, smooth purple film.

This, was the soul that acted as the core, and the Astral body formed an outer defense.

move, and Shion's soul returns to his body.

Success rate lower than 3. 14%. However, these probabilities were calculated before the evolution into a demon lord.

Shion's soul, thanks for the blessing, has retained all of his memories.

Rimuru's wish has been formed, and this blessing is bestowed.

In addition to retaining all his memories, there is an additional skill 『Memory Complete』.

This is an ability that will allow the soul to safely return from death for an unlimited amount of time.

ED: You are serious.

With his soul and body establishing a connection once again, Shion's core had already started beating once again.

And the dead have been revived.

No, it was a miracle that happened just as the soul was about to disappear. The prayer of Rimuru and everyone is not in vain.

Raphael, showing no signs of excitement in response to this success.

This is the result obtained through calculations and probabilities, that's all.

It did not take this as sadness, nor could it understand anything else.

Even so ...in the depths of this emotionless mind, is the ego tucked in a corner.

Doubting its own existence, a tiny glimmer of a thought is born subtlely, unbeknownst to the God of Wisdom (Raphael)

"Therefore I think I am"

TN Note: search Descartes.

ED: "People don't think the universe became like this, but it did. " – Black Science Man

This will be a proposition for the God of Wisdom (Raphael) in the future.

When Shion, the one who took the most damage was successfully revived, the remaining 100 people also started to come back to life.

Their souls began to recover, and an astral body full of energy appeared once again.

Follows the flow of work, and is activated, and it ends successfully.

That miracle, unknown to the people within the monster city, was secretly bestowed by him.

Only two monsters knew about this. Myulan and the Devil.

Myulan stared at the scene without making a sound as she was completely mesmerized by the ritual.

He was someone who pursued the highest mysterious magic and was clearly fascinated by this.

Regarding the unbelievable high-level Arcane magic, he managed to catch a glimpse of it from the demon king ship Rimuru.

They themselves are not of the level of a Devil.

Even Clayman was not satisfied. Then, he swore that he was lucky and grateful to have gained recognition.

He had decided to lead Youmu so that Rimuru would never treat him as an enemy.

Thus, the oath would be something to protect in any way.

Without saying a word, the Devils daydreamed at Rimuru and began to consider.

Now, I'm talking to myself, and not Rimuru? That's what I was thinking.

The skill of gaining his own ego, it was something unprecedented. To fulfill the wishes of his master, the acting skills of his own agreement, it was something unprecedented.

Sillier. Such a thing cannot happen.

Apparently, it was probably thrown away.

Then such a thing .. Please give it to your subordinates by all means. Thus, a new determination was revived.

After a while, the footsteps of two individuals could be heard.

Rimuru (Raphael) has completed her goal, and is back to a deep sleep.

The panicked Youmu rushed over when he saw Shion breathing like someone was asleep.

「Oy, Shion san and the others, have they been successfully revived? 」

Regarding this question, Myulan troubled for a moment,

"Yes . According to the division of gifts during evolution, they seem to have been successfully revived. Now if only their memories are intact, then we are all fine. 」

And then, they'll be fine, right. He muttered something that Youmu could not hear.

While doing so, the people of the city started to wake up one after another.

The concentration of Magic power had thinned, and they were all panicking when they realized the barrier was gone.

The city named tempest was in a festive mood, and they were all wrapped in joy.

Those who know that the resurrection was purchased not by miracles, but by means of the ability (Raphael), only in two.

And in the shadows, the ego of the skill that the God of Wisdom (Raphael) has grown up with, is an event that no one knows about.
