Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 92: Vs Holy Knight pt 3

Ranga ran through the battlefield, her body light, as light as it was a feather.

The sensation of being on Earth gradually began to fade, and before he realized it, his body was already walking in the sky.

Naturally, the acquisition of skill [1] was a skill that could only be obtained by someone who possessed some of the highest ranks of Magical Beasts.

However, such things were nothing more than trivial matters to Ranga now. The surge of power he now emitted gave him a certain feeling of pleasure.

His body was now filled with strength, as if his energy was pulsing.

His limbs, now covered with jet-black fur, now had Golden Lightning pulsing through them. Demonic energy seeped out like an electrical discharge.

The huge Golden Horn was now growing on his forehead, on the left and right were pitch-black horns that did not change from their previous shape.

The Golden Horn in the middle released a ray of crystallized energy, the pure energy it produced continuously.

Because of him, he gave the King dignity. A majestic beast with a noble presence that demanded respect for his territory.

The jet-black fur, which covered his majestic body, was wrapped in lightning. The pitch-black color, similar to the darkness itself, was clad in a near heavenly light that fluttered gently in the wind.

However, in contrast to the gentle face he had, the speed he had reached while hovering in the sky had long since passed the speed of sound.

But, just inside Ranga's surroundings, the airspace maintained its calmness as if nothing could disturb him.

A space-based barrier that he uses consciously.

As Ranga excitedly floated in the sky, he saw a group of Holy Knights positioned below him.

Using the mind link, he had already made sure that no one else was currently heading in that direction.

Making his nose dive sharply, while killing his great momentum, he made a swift move towards the group of Holy Knights.

✦✧✦✧✦✧

The commander of the Holy Knight Force Fritz continued to make progress in the necessary preparations. All according to Lady Hinata's plan. So far, there was not a single mistake in his assessment.

There was nothing suspicious and, therefore, there was no problem every time he took the lead.

This time there was no difference . Although, he still took precautions, as it was never a bad idea to be careful.

It was just a group of monsters, even though these same monsters had declared themselves as a country, there was no need to consider this a major event.

This was Fritz's opinion on the matter, however, Hinata did not use one's opinion only at her level.

It was something natural to follow and make Lady Hinata's opinion hers because she was someone she admired.

It was for that reason that he made various preparations, so that once the signals from the other groups entered, his group would also be able to start immediately. It was possible to invoke the barrier at any time …

Then, then the disaster itself came crashing down from the sky.

Fritz never ignored his guards.

He felt that the need for such an exaggerated strategy overestimated the threat from the situation, but he was still loyal and believed in Lady Hinata's orders.

For this reason alone, it can be safely said that he and his friends filled the edge with confidence. None of his friends were negligent or lazy in their duties.

In spite of all this, one black blob came crashing down from the sky to blow away one of his friends, a mighty Holy Knight.

Even with that, there was no reason to be careless. This momentary event that sent the Holy Knights flying was no reason to panic.

The proof for this reason was that the Holy Knights who had been enchanted were still alive.

Of course, it would have been another story if he hadn't, but since he was still alive, there was no need for excessive thoughts.

Fritz gave his first command like lightning and took action to carry it out.

They had set up anti-magic barriers that not only covered every direction in the sky, but also underground, so they were sure their safety was certain.

It was the standard defense plan in case of a surprise attack, to sense and defend against magic attacks.

In addition, they have also established Spirit Barrier, a complex barrier network that has many functions such as regulating temperature or detoxifying toxins in the air.

Sticking to the standard action plan taught by Lady Hinata herself, Fritz had the outermost barrier to detect enemies so they would be able to counterattack immediately in case of a surprise attack.

But, this was all in vain, as the enemy's attack this time was too fast.

When the barrier received the attack and sent out a warning about the encroaching monster, a Holy Knight was already thrown.

The extension of the barrier nearly two kilometers from their position, to think that something could reach them before they had enough time to react was unthinkable.

The goal is to be able to detect the danger and react with a long-range attack to weaken the target, this is standard procedure.

Of course, it would not react if an ally passed through or touched it. Only when the monsters are not recognized by the barrier setting.

But it was certain that this monster had passed through this high-class barrier, such proof was due to the moment it arrived. On his arrival, the monster recklessly crashed into the outermost barrier, and at that moment, all those high-class barriers were obliterated.

There are some who hypothesize that if there is enough energy involved, nothing can pass through or hold the barrier.

It was because this barrier was scattered at this moment, that the Holy Knights who were attacked were spared near death.

This is what emphasizes the point that obstacles are not useless things.

But ..... To be able to break through some barriers, no, obliterate them instantly. Other than using spirit weapons, no one could do such a thing.

The monster that had suddenly fallen landed, using the Holy Knight as its foundation, started to walk calmly and advanced to the Holy Knight that it had flown over.

Fritz's eyes opened wide as his gaze locked onto the monster before him.

All he could do was wait for the opening. His goal is to wait for the right opportunity to save his friends.

However, this Great Black Wolf emitted a terrifying density of coercion. Fritz found no gaps at all.

This was the same monster that cleared two kilometers faster than the Holy Knights could react to. These same monsters were now within a distance of only a few meters from them.

His limbs were clad in Golden Lightning and had incredible horns that they had never seen before.

A Holy Knight equipped with Spirit Arms and cloaked in their Spiritual Strength from the very beginning, and surrounded by various barriers, had been incapacitated with just a single blow. Just mentioning this alone could be called a great, yet terrible act.

Fritz wanted to push him away from the point, but he had to come to the conclusion that the monster before him was a clear "Castrop Class" monster.

It is no longer a situation to worry about fallen friends.

One mistake would definitely end in the destruction of the entire group.

「ALL HANDS, BATTLE MAKING! LEAVE BARRIER. PUSH IT WITH YOUR COMPLETE STRENGTH! 」

Like this, Fritz shouted out his battle orders with frightening precision.

The predictions of Lady Hinata once again proved to be entirely accurate.

When he made this realization, even in a situation that could be called a crisis, he felt a certain sense of excitement.

(As expected of Lady Hinata-sama, she had already predicted this situation from the very beginning!)

On Fritz's face appeared a small smile, of course without neglecting his guard against the power monster before him. Like this, he continued to instruct the battle formation using eye movements and small movements.

A skilled Holy Knight, without ignoring a single move, was able to immediately assume a battle formation to exterminate the demons.

The members of the Fritz group soon regain their composure with the help of one of the party's magic, Acceleration of Thought.

As they quickly made their battle preparations, they continued to observe the target in front of them.

But, then something unthinkable broke the tension of the battle.

"What are you doing? Hurry now, go and heal the wounded man. 」(Ranga)

Using his front legs, the Demon Wolf threw the wind-blown Holy Knights into their formation.

For a moment, Fritz's calm was confused.

He had already made a determination to leave behind a friend who was injured or killed, but this monster had just given the injured Holy Knight to them instead of finishing him off.

It was an act that Fritz could not understand.

「Oi. . Hurry up now, if you don't do something really fast, he's probably dead, you know! 」(Ranga)

The Demon Wolf, who wore the majestic Golden Lightning, seemed to have concern for his friend's life for a reason and had spoken these words.

His deep baritone voice was terrifying.

「Deputy commander Rama needs treatment, everyone, follow me! 」(Fritz)

Fritz quickly returned to the real world and let out his voice to give orders to the rest of the group. Kicking the ground to force his body, which was still confused, into action.

Although he did not know what the purpose of this terrifying monster was, he could at least fight without worry.

Putting all his strength into his Elemental Sword (Spirit Sword), he said his prayers to the heavenly spirit.

The energy in the atmosphere began to wrap around the sword and the sword itself began to radiate with light.

Wrapped in a spirit atmosphere, the entire sword began to emit a pale light.

「I don't know what you're trying to do, but don't you dare underestimate us, you monster! Eat this, Sword Dispersal [2] !! 」(Anon Holy Knight 1/Fritz)

「I offer my prayer, please seize the enemy with your heavenly power! Earth Prison (Great Gravity Prison) [3] !! 」(Anon Holy Knight 2)

「Oh Prison Fire Flame, burn my enemies to nothingness! Hell Fire (Sphere Prison Blazing) [4] !! 」(Anon Holy Knight 3)

「Oh, the Cold of Ice and Snow, protect my enemies in your great blizzard and freeze them! Icy Blizzard [5] !! 」(Anon Holy Knight 4)

「Oh blowing Wind that goes through all things, be my sword! Wind Blades (Wind Cutters) [6] !! 」(Anon Holy Knight 5)

The other vice commander, Gerard, held his breath as he watched the simultaneous attacks from the other Holy Knights.

He stood back up to protect and help his recovering comrade. While filled with determination not to become a hindrance, he continued to observe the situation of the Wolf Demon.

At that moment, he was astonished beyond his abilities for a reason.

The Demon Wolf, in front of his own two eyes, had received all the attacks. Meanwhile wagging his tail happily.

The Fritz Dispersal Sword can cut anything.

From the tip of the sword, the heavenly protection of the four attribute spirits was mixed with a powerful fighting spirit. The edges release the full accumulated power of each.

It was a special sword technique designed for long-range attacks.

Although it could not compare to Arnaud, Fritz could definitely use that skill as he was loved by the spirits.

Since the structure was quite simple, it was difficult to predict the energy released from an attack just by observing the execution of the technique.

However, the Wolf Demon did not attempt to do anything and only received an attack, then extinguished all of them with a flick of its jet-black fur. Something beyond what one could have imagined happened before now.

Fritz's special attack had also been powered with Earth Attributes that increased the strength of gravity at the targeted spot.

The purpose of such magic was to prevent the monster from moving, since the monster had no intention of moving in the first place, such an attempt was meaningless.

To completely burn the severed body, and to prevent the enemy from regenerating, Hell Fire magic was used. But there was no chance such a fire could burn this monster fur.

The snowstorm was to prevent the enemy from escaping, and the Wind Blade was ready to strike if an attempt to escape was made. Any movement is completely ineffective even from damaging a single follicle of its fur.

There was no word to describe this spectacle other than one. Nightmares.

Even if this monster stood as an A or A + rank monster, to come out unscathed by a series of coordinated attacks could only be said to be something almost impossible.

「A .. Aa …. 」

「You ... Cursed Monster. . . 」

The other Holy Knights could only exclaim in disbelief at them.

Even their Deputy Commander Gerard had the same opinion.

The Demon Wolf continued to stand at that spot, calmly as if it had received no attack at all.

「Y ... you ... what the fuck are you !? Even for the Elite of the Fang Wolf Race, unique monsters. . No beast like you should never exist !! 」(Fritz, AKA Anon Holy Knight 1)

Fritz could not stand it anymore and started shouting.

As one of the commanders of the Holy Knight squadron, Fritz had extensive battle experience against various groups of monsters.

In his youth, he had fought against many Elites of the Fang Wolf race.

However, this Demon Wolf before his eyes was extremely strange no matter how you could describe it. Clearly, it had enough power to make it similar to a Demon King!

Such a being, was it originally the Guardian God enshrined in this area? Or perhaps, was it the unknown Demon Beast King who spread disaster afterwards?

Nevertheless, neither he, nor the other Holy Knights knew the answer either. The group that placed the protection of the entire world on their shoulders were dumbfounded.

「Fumu, little man, my name, is Ranga.

This glorious and mighty name was given to me by Rimuru-sama the Great and Wise.

For people like you, I would allow to pronounce this name as a true blessing, grateful.

I am a member of the Star Wolf race. However, I am unique.

I'M RANGA, FENRIR (STAR OF NOVA DEMON WOLF KING [7]) RANGA!

I am the one who will destroy, and annihilate all enemies of Rimuru-sama! 」

The monster declared it while facing Fritz and his comrades, all in a deep baritone voice.

What he had just said, was clearly a threat.

A being that gives death to anyone who would oppose it.

Without being able to wipe away his now radiating sweat, Fritz froze where he stood.

Thinking of his current condition as calm as possible, to defeat this monster, there was no other choice but to weaken it with the sealing power of the Holy Field

However, to even attach these monsters, which offered incredible speed, it would not be a simple matter.

After all, if everyone were to set out alone to accomplish such a thing, this Ranga ferocious beast would only annihilate them one by one.

Since the beginning of this engagement, they've been in checkmate.

Desperately, Fritz stirred his mind, trying to figure out a way to turn things around in this incredible being.

Even with mind acceleration support magic, to find a method in such a way that it allowed them to defeat such an enemy could not be found. No matter how long people look for it. Of course not in a terrible situation like this.

Yet….

His eyes were dazzled by a dazzling glint followed immediately by a rumbling sound that rang out from behind his position.

The Deputy Commander, Gerard, had been trying to make a small gesture.

However, this was immediately responded to by a Plasma explosion.

It was accurately directed to the ground near Gerard's feet, causing him to instantly stop moving.

After all, Fritz was not sure how high the temperature of such an attack was, but the ground near Gerard's feet melted and turned into glass.

The hot air creates a pulse of boiling hot air, as well as causing serious mental tension. Therefore, Gerard stopped moving foolishly.

Even if they were mighty Holy Knights, until now they had never encountered a monster this strong. Their once overflowing trust has now been shattered.

Despair shattered the chaos in the minds of Fritz's group.

Even if they had the mighty Spirit Equipment as protection, there was no way to withstand an attack similar to a Plasma bolt capable of turning the ground into glass.

Moreover, in order to avoid lightning-like attacks, even a Saint Knight expert would not be able to do such a thing.

The defensive barrier and Spirit Equipment were the subject of their unwavering confidence, they were sure that no enemies within Monster City were capable of rejecting such a mighty existence.

Even if they had to meet their deaths here, they could not afford to give up on this monster …

「Sorry, you guys are unlucky. Looks like we finally got the most troublesome person here .. 」(Fritz)

Fritz's words were mixed with resignation.

「Commander, I guess we just have to hope next time we'll be luckier! 」(Anon Holy Knight 2)

"Rubber! In addition, we always accept short straws. . 」(Anon Holy Knight 3)

「So what's the problem, we'll just manage this and come back as usual. 」(Anon Holy Knight 4)

Every Holy Knight started to be funny.

For each of them, they already understood the obvious facts. None of them got out of this alive.

Even so, for the sake of their honor, their pride as Holy Knights, they would definitely kill it!

「All of you are arrogant people! If we can get out of here, I'll treat you to a month's worth of drinks!

IT'S AN ORDER, EVERYBODY, LET IT MAKE IT HERE ALIVE! LET'S GO! 」(Fritz)

Fritz shouted, and started running at full resolution to throw away his life.

Those who had been taken out early on had finally been rejuvenated.

Together with Fritz, the other seven Holy Knights began to advance simultaneously.

Just like in training, no, even more than that. Their movements far exceeded their norm, born of the desperation to not fail for the sake of their comrades, they produced a power they had never had before.

In perfect clarity of mind and soul, they perform complex maneuvers with ease.

With this, the Holy Knights executed their desperate attack on Ranga at once.

Then the darkness came.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . .

…

Sensing his consciousness returning vaguely, the pain began to radiate throughout his body. A Groan is ejected and Fritz wakes up.

To think of fainting with the level of pain he was experiencing was extremely difficult.

However,

(Wait a minute ?! I realize? So ... I'm still alive? But ... if I'm here, wouldn't I have been defeated ..?)

As soon as he gathered his senses, Fritz began to understand his surroundings.

After that it saw the windstorm whirling with such force that it was akin to a tornado carving the earth with its power.

… He's certainly happy to be alive. As he thought about this, he thought about his friends.

While saying prayers in his heart that they were still alive, he began to look for their signs.

In his vision, he found his friends who were losing.

They were all scattered around as if they had been hit by the wind.

Fritz tried to get up, but there was no strength in his body. So, he somehow used all the energy he had to crawl and close the distance between the closest people.

That person was the Old Deputy Commander who was fortunately also still alive.

Filled with baseless joy, Fritz had already forgotten about the intense pain he was in.

Like that, just as Fritz had confirmed the survival of each of his fellow countrymen, a certain voice announced ushering in true despair.

「Human, we will resume our match after you make your recovery.

I was not satisfied with our struggle after my rebirth.

See me here, I have brought the Complete Herb (Complete Recovery Medicine).

I believe this will be more than enough.

Well, hurry up and recover, will we enjoy this more? 」

He said with a cheerful tone like his tail was swaying happily.

Like a demon, no, this Devil Wolf spoke words as if he was himself a Devil.

Hearing those words, Fritz's consciousness was devoured by a great and endless despair.

(Aaaah .... ... Maybe luckier if I passed out earlier ....)

Fritz's mind became even more sad as he thought about the situation.

Of course, the happy ending of the story will not happen now …
