Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 93: Vs Holy Knight pt 4

After leaping high into the sky, Shion observed the ground below.

His eyes sparkled with the light of a king who went to hunt for precious prey.

A fearless smile appeared on his face and he released an ominous aura (haki).

After easily finding his prey, he descended into a small army of knights.

.

Leonard, in fact, was not a Knights Templar.

He was a genius who reached the peak of magic arts and was a Saint Wizard.

Only he who has mastered the Saint magic archive and the Elemental magic archive can call themselves by this title.

The Saint Wizards were those who truly understood the laws of the world.

However, the holy sword in hand, Leonard had engaged in many battles.

Even while hiding his identity as a Saint Wizard, his name was much more famous now as a templar.

And at some point he had become the vice-captain of the division.

Without question it was the result of his strength.

What a beautiful sword. Where Arnaud's sword symbolizes strength, Leonard's harmony embodies.

Although they had comparable strength, Arnaud was slightly stronger. In addition, Arnaud specialized in persistent combat.

That endurance raised Arnaud as the strongest among the knights.

But Leonard is actually a Magical Swordsman. That's how he fights now.

His sword skills would not lose to Arnaud, and his current fighting style would certainly not disappoint him.

No, of course Leonard is stronger now.

However, Templar did not base their evaluation on the archives of 〈Elemental Magic〉.

Although there were some among them who had an affinity for Elemental Magic and used it, they secretly threw it during the battle.

Thus, Leonard assures himself that true power consists in reaching the peak of sacred closeness.

If he wanted to achieve his goal, he would definitely have the strength to slash at any opponent.

It was his delusion born from being saved by a hero during his childhood.

Heroes are strong.

Simple, perfect power.

The attacking monster is destroyed with the hero's sword.

Even evil spirits that were much bigger than humans were conquered with a single sword blow.

So his hidden village, which had resigned itself to death, was saved by a hero.

Since then, Leonard has been fascinated with the mystical sword.

And while mastering the magic ways he imitates the hero's sword with a stick.

After becoming a Saint Wizard, he finally went to the Ingracia Kingdom.

There, he studied Sacred Magic and waited for his chance to travel to the Holy Kingdom of Ruberion.

For an outsider to be allowed to take the Hajj, one must achieve a certain proficiency with the Magic Sacret. |

In the end, Leonard reached the high level of the Sacred Magic archives and was allowed to become a disciple of the Knights Templar.

After that, during the spirit contract ceremony, he formed a contract with the spirits of Light and Darkness.

With a serious expression, he was reported to have formed a contract with only a light spirit. To him, the spirit of Darkness kept him away from the "Hero" and was therefore of no use.

Thus began the life of the Light Templar Leonard.

Incarnations of nightmares descended from the sky.

Lightly landing on the ground, he stared at the knights.

Without panicking, Leonard had already begun to command his men.

He had a target surrounded by two knights from every direction.

And the rest set up a simple Holy Barrier as soon as possible.

He decided that they should end this fight quickly to focus on Hinata's orders.

Leonard's magic perception identified the monster before him as a very powerful person. Even among A rank monsters, he was much stronger.

Perhaps he was the highest existence in this city. Maybe they were overwritten by the Demon King himself.

On this battlefield, Leonard sensed a powerful existence in multiple directions through his perception magic.

He could not sense the other knights, but that was because magic power was not densely dense in this area.

There was only one enemy in front of them.

Negligence will result in death. He decided to throw it away immediately.

「Prepare barrier for target before us!」

He issued an order, judging that there was no time to analyze the enemy.

The knights surrounding him in the four directions immediately started to work.

This is an excellent barrier that may not be broken from the inside.

But it's not perfect. After all, this was a simple barrier.

The space that was made narrow, so being able to block each attack was a question.

The space created was twenty meters in diameter, but if one immediately absorbed all the magic energy and fired a large-scale spell, then perhaps it would break apart.

That's why the barrier is usually made to be much larger.

Firstly, although this barrier sealed an ability that he was very proud of, he could not complain in the current situation.

Just in case, he had a second army surround them all with defensive barriers.

They could not kill targets trapped within the purification barrier.

They can attack from the outside, but they have to confirm the target before that.

If the enemy had similarities that reflected affinity, such recklessness would only lead to unnecessary casualties. He could barely make such a mistake.

As the dust subsided, one monster stood in front of them.

She's slender, with purple-black hair.

Long enough it flowed into his back, and it suited him well. She has a pretty face. Two horns adorned his head.

His white skin peeked out from inside the kimono.

He was wearing jet black armor. The bewitching beauty.

His eyes, like two amethyst stones, focused on Leonard and he opened his mouth.

「My name is Shion. The first servant Rimuru-sama.

Well, gentlemen. So said my lord.

"Obedience or death!"

Wise knights, of course you can tell which is the better choice.

Ignore your weapons and join me! 」

He expressed great emphasis on the words "first servant".

Leonard senses the power coming from the monster who introduces himself as Shion.

He was clearly unnaturally strong. The enemy may be the oni.

The Oni is a powerful being from a giant family that has evolved that way after so many years.

Sometimes called heavenly, there is an oni that has brought many calamities to the world.

Yet he is a monster named above being an oni.

At this point, it might be more accurate to refer to him as a land god than a monster.

But the Feast of the Holy Kingdom acknowledges the existence of only one deity-Ruminas *.

Giving happiness to a hero with a kiss, this heavenly child can bestow a sacred blessing on them.

Thus, the god of the land, the god who protected people, and the like were completely unrecognizable.

"Shut up! Evil monsters. We will cleanse the world of your unclean presence! 」

Leonard called out and ordered the men to fire the Holy Cannon at him.

This attack would be meaningless to those who were resistant to holy attacks, but monsters should not be able to block it.

Unlike the resistance of Earth, Water, Fire, or Wind, Sacred and Dark attacks cannot be undone.

Other than monsters with angel affinity, the Holy Cannon was not an attack that could be blocked.

On Leonard's orders, the knights began their assault.

Thus, the rain of incessant attacks fell onto Shion.

「Is that your answer? I'm gonna kill you?"

He said with a face, "Why don't these people listen to other people's words?"

And when he asked a question, an odachi appeared in his hand, stopping any energy coming at him.

However, that would not make him a threat.

Even if he was recognized as a Land God class, he was already caught up in the sacred field.

They just had to keep the barrier long enough for him to weaken.

But .. Leonard was only impressed that he could still display the speed of a master's sword.

The sword that had received so many Holy Affinity attacks showed no signs of — destruction so it could also be called abnormal.

And then one of the knights shouted.

It seems like one of the knights who attacked had their bullets returned to them.

He had absorbed the holy magic with his sword and sent an attack at them.

Which is usually impossible.

That is, it takes the right time so it requires heavenly skills.

Panicking, Leonard orders the attacks to stop.

The knight who was hit earlier was not seriously injured and escaped with fear.

But being able to return their attacks from within the sacred field far exceeded Leonard's expectations.

Not a single knight could hide his shock.

While suppressing his shock, Leonard clicked his tongue thinking of his next move.

Shion becomes Shion only annoyed at the fact that his attack did not go as intended.

In the first place, the attack would only pass through the barrier but would not come out.

While this barrier allowed holy magic to pass through, another attack blocked it. In addition, he tried this before, but it seems that 『Spatial』 Journey has been sealed.

Shion's irritation reaches its peak. He was not a patient person, but he had decided to endure it for as long as possible.

Now, the rampage is near.

「Hey ... hey, guys. I'll ask you nicely, how about you drop the barrier, hmm?

I promise I won't kill you and will even let you eat a special meal made by me?

How about that? Isn't this a good proposal? That's the last warning I'll give you, so what about it? 」

He tried to contain his anger and asked them with a forced smile.

He actually looked down on the knights that he thought could not even scratch him, but seriously believed that they could accept the offer.

"Shut up! Caught in the barrier, how dare you act so high and mighty ?! 」

One of the knights answered.

Yes, monsters are indeed very weakened within the sacred field.

It was only due to the fact that magical energy disappeared within it.

And monsters that were masses of magic energy had to distance themselves from using skills to maintain their existence.

That is why they limit themselves to using only the simplest skills.

Let's say he created a huge explosion inside the barrier. The shrapnel will pass through the barrier and hit the knight.

Thus, to be safe, Leonard had them create a physical attack barrier. Setting up a barrier with respect to a certain type of attack is the norm.

Even though he had tried hard, Leonard was still anxious.

He saw Shion take a fist-sized stone from the ground.

He soon found out what he was going to do.

So he had the knights, especially the close ones, guarding against the attack.

A roar rumbled, and an explosion appeared in front of one of the knights.

Shion has thrown a stone at the knight. The stone reflected on the physical attack barrier.

What an incredible power.

And that was his strength in a weak state, with his strength sealed.

How terrible it would be if they did not set up the holy field in time.

The Oni in front of him looked annoyed and stomped his feet.

His footwork created a crack in the earth, so how big was his strength …

Even though she looked like a smart young girl, how cruel was that lie!

「Preserve the barrier with your life if you have to! Those who are free, in tune with your spirit power to mine.

I'll use Disintegration.

Converge a barrier on him to seal his movements! We can't let him live !! 」

When Disintegration captures its target, it never releases it.

It was a spell that could vaporize any kind of enemy. But, using it in a large area will make it disperse.

Moreover, it was not a skill that every knight could use.

This time, it was only possible by using the energy of another knight. By using it simultaneously from each direction, you can enable Area Disintegration.

"Thank God I'm here" Leonard thought, relieved.

In the first place, only he and Hinata could use this spell. Moreover, the Disintegration Area was a high-level forbidden spell that even Hinata could not use.

It uses a lot of energy that threatens the life of the caster.

But

Consider the demon rampaging before him.

He could not possibly let this demon lose the world.

After deciding, Leonard gave the order.

The other knight, as if reading his mind, had already started working.

They all found the thoughts of this monster, which exerted so much power within the barrier, rampaging freely too terrifying.

Their teamwork was flawless, first they created a light twenty square meters around him.

Collapsing the barrier above it, it turned into a pyramid-shaped cage.

Shion looked into the cage of light.

It looks dangerous, he thought. But, he could not break the barrier nor did he have the skills to protect himself.

Man looks down too much on himself, Shion thought, and

「The lost devil! We can't let such a dangerous creature live!

This world only needs one God! The destruction!!"

The strongest of them cried.

At the same time, from the four corners and the zenix pyramid he was in a ruthless light attacking Shion.

「Don't underestimate me, man! Rimuru-sama, protect me !! 」

Shion wrapped herself in all her magical energy, and prepared for the attack.

In a split second,

Without explosion or heat, light receives it.

The knights considered that power to be supreme. But they were still not negligent to guard the barrier.

Although the monster's death was certain, they would continue to do so until ordered otherwise.

As for those supporting Leonard's spell, they all fainted where they stood. After using an extremely extreme spell, their fatigue was expected.

Even the grumpy knight could not avoid exhaustion. The fact that none of them died proves how great they are.

Leonard turned around and sighed in relief, confirming that everyone was still alive.

But, he sighed too early. He should have done so after making sure that the monster was dead.

He had used supreme anti-personnel skills, and the impossibility of what he saw caused his legs to become unstable.

He looked up to confirm the state of the target.

In the middle, the rest of the oni .. no, the burning thing started moving.

They cannot burn everything; some still exist.

But it can't possibly hold. A monster without legs, only a body, could only crawl into a hole waiting for death.

Leonard sighed again, preparing to destroy the target.

It was a terrifying monster, but they managed to defeat it.

They were really lucky to be able to destroy it without a single victim. Had they not made the first move, they would all probably have been killed.

But, their goal was not to kill these monsters. Leonard remembered, changing his mood.

And he began to consider his mission.

Right now, he should have set up a corner of a large-scale Holy Field.

That is to support Hinata – important missions. However, the oni attack had left his men exhausted.

Fulfilling the mission may prove difficult. He thought, and finally realized something was wrong.

He did not feel that even one division was successful.

If he was attacked, were other groups attacked as well? But even so, there was no way they could be attacked by an equally powerful monster, so they were only late.

(Slimming aren't they .. a good opportunity. I'll forge them again when we get back)

Leonard thought, and intended to contact Arnaud, but …

「B- …. U-unforgivable. I will never forgive you, scum of man !! 」

He felt an evil presence behind him, and turned around.

An unbelievable sight opened in front of him.

In the middle of the sacred field, like zombies or ghosts, there was something gathering together.

The knights, their faces pale blue, looked at Leonard.

「A-impossible! How can you still live after being exposed to disintegration ?! 」

He could not help but exclaim.

A rare mistake for a calm and composed Leonard.

But, how else. If anything, it was a monster that had survived the destruction that exceeded the laws of the world.

And before him, the zombie-like oni began to regenerate into its original beautiful form. That only adds to their fear.

Returning to his original form in less than a minute, this was what he said.

「I will show you the same level of pain, the same level of suffering, and twice the fear, man !!」

An ominous deep red light shone in his eyes, Shion shouted.

And charging forward he struck the barrier with his sword.

It's not only effective. And the faces of the relieved knights were covered in fear.

The crack ran across the entire barrier. And…

「Hmph, as I thought. This was not a high density barrier, but one that slightly damaged the laws of the world.

Well, something like that can be changed with one of the effects of my 『kelkesilan『 Cooking 」

He said and cut off the surprised knight standing in front of Leonard.

Even though he had to lose his mind, that was not what happened. Only his limbs fell to the ground.

Did he surpass his sight that much? While feeling the fear getting stronger, he cast a full recovery magic at the knight.

But…

It's not active.

Which caused Leonard to tremble,

「My nails, you're stupid. I made that limitless human norm the norm.

What is recovery magic? He's all right! 」

Shion explained happily.

Leonard understood what he meant that caused his heart to tremble in fear.

In fact, he had noticed, but was unwilling to accept it, when he rewrote the effects of the Holy Field.

And, now before him, was an indisputable proof.

He overrides the nature of the object itself. He had skills that allowed him to obtain the desired effect.

In front of a skill that certainly gives the user the will, defense may be completely impossible.

Even if you try to oppose him, he will only befall him with a stronger will. Only those with similar skills could oppose it.

Since Leonard was a genius, he noticed this, and was desperate.

He thought there was no way he could oppose it.

So he thought. The devil has been released into the world.

"It is impossible.... . impossible .. this kind of demon is impossible .. 」

Terrified.

As he had stated, Leonard was overcome with fear.

Leaving Leonard for later, he first went for the desperate and exhausted knights who could no longer escape.

And before Leonard's eyes, his men, who were now limbless, were carefully arranged in a few moments.

Leonard felt as if he was going crazy from fear.

And in his ears, though,

「So, you next?」

The sweet voice whispered.

Now Leonard will know the real fear.
