Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (LN) - Volume 20 - Chapter 4.07

He looks around at his friends waiting in the distance and confirms that they are all ready.

Benimaru was a masterful man, and his lineup was superb.

This way, they would be able to launch a wave attack on Milim without wasting time.

Souei is also visible.

He is standing still in the air, or rather floating in the air.

It is unnecessary in the midst of battle, but he does not seem to intend it, and I guess he cannot stop it.

Anyway, Leon and Zalario are on both sides of Souei. They seem to get along well with each other, so it seems that Ciel-san is right and they have really agreed to cooperate with each other.

It is not so much Zalario's betrayal but Feldway's lack of virtue.

Well, I don't complain about it, since it saved my life in this case.

I will keep in mind that what will happen after this case is over, that is the question.

I'll leave this to Souei.

'Benimaru, final confirmation, are you sure?

'It is perfect. Leon-dono and Zalario-dono are now under my command, and there is nothing to worry about.

I was satisfied with his confident answer.

The game is played in an instant.

They are approaching at several dozen times the speed of sound, so if they miss their first move, it's over.

The time it would take for Milim to fire his Drago Nova would be shorter than the blink of an eye.

All he has to do is to make a quick stop, get himself ready, and then shoot.

It may take us a long time to feel it, but in reality, it would be about three seconds.

We will not be able to hit Milim in flight, so we only aim at the moment when it is in flight. I will induce Milim's behavior by repeating a series of attacks, and then I will invoke 'Void God (Azathoth)' to create an opportunity for Feldway's interference with Milim's thoughts and actions. Regalia Dominion.

Leon and Zalario supported me with their all-out attacks, so I think my success rate increased.

It was the most powerful attack by Benimaru, Souei, Leon, Zalario, and the above four from the wave attack by Magus. Even Milim should stop his movement and defend himself at least a little.

That was the summary of the plan.

Then, the moment of decision comes.

Milim was about to attack the tree, but he stopped in the air.

The attack of Magus started.

As if it was a beautifully staged event, the beam cannons were emitted in a single, unwavering movement.

Normally, I would have admired the scene, but now was not the time to do so.

I could see that the ray of light was a high power heat ray equivalent to nuclear magic: Nuclear Cannon. A robot weapon that can shoot such a beam of light in rapid succession, Ertan has a great hidden gem.

Well, let's talk about that some other time.

As expected, Milim is not a match for us.

Benimaru's precise command has focused the rays of light to a single point. The focal point temperature is over a hundred million degrees Celsius, and it seems to be in trouble, but Milim can't see it.

Milim doesn't understand it, because it doesn't even take a defensive posture and ignores them.

It looks flashy, but is this attack meaningful?

"It distracted Milim and bought a little time."

Oh, oh...

It's almost meaningless, but it did its job, didn't it?

Oh, Milim puts his hands out in front of him.

He doesn't seem to be distracted at all, and no matter what I do, it won't work at this point.

At this point, I can only rely on the attacks of Benimaru and others.

Souei made the first move.

"A thousand hand shadow kills!"

Souei's shadow grew and became a thousand hands to capture Milim.

But...

Even though Souei's power, the Ultimate Gift 'Moon King Tsukuyomi', was activated with all his might, he could not even stop Milim's movement for a moment.

And 'Insta-kill' would never work. I had expected this from the beginning, but unfortunately, I could not even get Milim to pay attention to me for a moment, but Souei was not the type to give up after that.

He moved himself to pin Milim in place.

"Don't worry . That was Souei's 'Split Body'."

Oh, that's right.

I was impressed by this very useful usage.

In this way, Souei had succeeded in slightly impeding Milim's movement, though he had failed to achieve his goal of stopping Milim's movement.

Then, as if to cover Souei, the ultimate destructive light danced wildly.

"Disappear as dust, Hundred Split Light Breaker!"

This is Leon's special move.

Each of its flashes was the size that could swallow a person, and it was the most powerful technique imaginable, "Disintegration" that changed its trajectory at Leon's will.

Needless to say, Souei's 'Split Body' was instantly reduced to dust.

Milim, however, is unmoved.

Milim is unfazed.

From the moment Drago Nova was ready to be activated, an invisible barrier was generated to envelop Milim. It was clothed in the shimmer of "star particles" and completely prevented even the spirit attack.

It was definitely better than 'Covenant King (Uriel)'s 'Absolute Defense'.

Leon's technique was so powerful that even I had a hard time with it, but it ended without much effect.

But the attack was not the end.

Before the result of Leon's attack, Zalario also made his move.

"Insanity Hash".

Zalario, who is the epitome of quality and strength, seemed to accept Benimaru's instruction without any resistance.

He would not make any mistake if he promised to cooperate with Benimaru.

He seemed to think that it is the duty of a soldier to obey his commander, even if he is the enemy, and he was a surprisingly trustworthy man even though he was the enemy.

At the same time as Souei's attack, Zalario is performing a move.

I don't know how he did it, but it was a technique that he had never shown even when he was fighting against Leon and Souei.

Zalario's hard sword, which can cut even alienium's exoskeleton in two, has the power to kill just by swinging it. Now, it is aimed at Milim with the intent to kill.

The existence value, estimated to be over 20 million, was no exaggeration.

It was a blow with a higher density of sword pressure than Souei's and Leon's attacks combined, and it was a blow of divine speed to the point of stupidity.

But, however.

Milim's invisible barrier glowed brightly, but that was all.

It was an unbelievable sight.

Each of them must have been too powerful to be underestimated.

And yet, to Milim, it did not seem to make much sense.

And that was enough time for Benimaru.

Benimaru has a fearless smile on his mouth as if he is showing his true belligerent character.

Now, here comes the real work!

Souei, Leon, and Zalario move accordingly, though they do not actually say it out loud.

It was as planned from the beginning.

Benimaru's "Kohlen" was shining beautifully red in his hand.

It was a terrifying red light that would burn away all matter, but it mingled with Benimaru's blackened haki.

"Prominence Acceleration!"Prominence Acceleration!

It was a radiance like the black sun.

The jet-black darkness was colored by red flames.

The black and crimson sunlight with vicious violence took the shape of an oriental dragon. Then, as if it had a will of its own, it swirled and attacked Milim, trying to swallow him up.

Milim had no choice but to react to this.

Because Benimaru's prominence-accelerated excitation of the sunlit black flame recorded tens of millions of energies, even though it was instantaneous.

...

...

...

The power is calculated by the relationship between the output and the amount of energy.

No matter how much energy is used, if the output is low, the power is weak. On the other hand, no matter how large the output is, if the energy level is low, the power cannot be high.

In the case of Benimaru, the power output was perfect. The total amount of energy was not small, but it was not enough to fight against Milim.

How could Benimaru have unleashed such a super-powerful special move?

"I have lent him the power of the Master."

Huh?

I'm not aware of any symptoms at all, Ciel-san, but what are you doing on your own?

Well, I don't have a problem if it helps everyone, but you should have explained it to me first...

"We were still in the experimental stage, so we thought we'd report back after we had succeeded."

Hmmm, too much perfectionism as usual.

I guess it's just a minor experiment from Ciel-san's point of view, but it's important for me.

No, let's not complain about it later.

For now, I'll ask for an explanation of what happened.

Ciel-san says

Ciel-san says that my Ultimate Skill 'Void God (Azathoth)' has an inexhaustible supply of 'Turn Null', an energy that is difficult to handle. Ciel-san has been studying how to utilize this energy.

As a part of such experiments, he approached some executives to negotiate with them.

I thought to myself, "If that's the case, why don't I do the experiment myself?

"I would never put the Master in danger.

He denied it.

I thought it would be safer in the labyrinth, but Ciel-san seemed to be unable to tolerate such a situation.

He was too overprotective, but I guess he should be thankful that I was his target...

Anyway, Ciel-san had devised and built a system to supply the energy of 'Turn Null' secretly to some people who are connected to me through 'Soul Corridor'. Ciel-san had devised and built a system to supply the 'Turn Null' energy to some people connected to me and the "Soul Corridor".

It was truly Ciel-sensei in his element.

In principle, it seemed to be an application of 'supply and demand', but it was also a very effective way to use the Ultimate Skill 'Void God (Azathoth)' and 'Harvest King (Shub-Niggurath)'. (Shub-Niggurath)'.

The secret of Benimaru's instantaneous surge of power was this - the 'nihilistic supply' - although this mechanism seems to be still in its infancy.

...

...

...

Prominence acceleration of the sunlit black flame bites Milim as if to wrap around him.

Milim's movement stops as he tries to shake it off.

"Manipulation Yosei Binding Formation" (Souei's yarns are used to bind Milim.)

Souei's yokyu (thread) seizes Milim.

Hundred Split Light Prison

At Leon's will, the cage of "Disintegration" is completed.

The invisible barrier twinkles like a star, but Milim's Drago Nova is not activated. This bought them enough time.

By the way, Zalario did not seem to have any capturing technique, and he only applied pressure with haki. It was effective enough, but it was a secret that I felt it was not enough.

Now, the ideal situation is set.

I, too, am ready. To make sure that everyone's hard work is not in vain, we must make this a success.

Ciel-sensei!

Leave it to me!

I don't think it's right to ask for Skill's help at the critical moment, but Ciel-san and I are one and the same, so it's just as if I'm doing my best.

After I have armed myself with a perfect theory like this, I wait for the results while bracing myself.

"Reset."

It worked very easily.

It seems that Ciel-san also understood the power of the 'Justice King (Michael)' and was able to cancel the influence by duplicating it.

Thus, Feldway's 'Regalia Dominion', which had been affecting Milim, completely lost its effect in that instant.

*

Hooray for a successful operation.

We would like to congratulate everyone for their good work, but Milim is still in a state of out of control.

The order to Milim to destroy the sacred tree was lifted, but the problem was not over yet.

If we continued to fight here, the aftermath of the battle alone would cause Sarion to suffer tremendous damage.

We needed to move...there was the Republic of Ur-Gracia or something around Sarion, and across the sea, there was the country of Leon.

Western Nations are spread out in the opposite direction, so the best route to minimize the damage would be to lead them to the barren land via the sea.

This would affect the territory controlled by Dagruel, but it's too late for that.

However, we do not want to cause damage to the people living in the area, so we have to evacuate the area.

In such a case, it is Souei.

'Souei, I am going to lead Milim to the barren land now, but I don't want the people of Dagruel to be harmed. Can you do that?

I told him the gist of what I was going to do.

Sure enough, the answer came back as I expected.

Leave it to me. I've left a 'Clone' for such an eventuality, so I can move immediately.

Souei, the workman.

He's a good worker.

Normally, I wouldn't think of 'that may happen,' but with Souei, it's understandable.

Souei's ability as a man was demonstrated again, and I felt happy today though I usually feel sarcastic about it.

I was so relieved to know that I can handle this situation, that I left it to him.

I was relieved, but then something terrible happened.

Time stopped.

Who did not read the situation and did something unnecessary ! -I complained inwardly.

No problem if Milim stops too, but it is working as a matter of course. Moreover, during Time Stop, the world's defense power is zero, so Milim running amok has become an extremely dangerous existence.

Even if it is dangerous, just touching it now would be out of the game.

It is not a good idea to fight him here, and the only place to lead him is the Deadly Desert.

It is good that we have distracted Milim before he goes on a rampage, but if we continue to lead him away, we will not be able to reach the evacuation route that Souei has requested.

There are hardly any uninhabited places in the world, and destroying the ecosystem before that is a problem in itself.

"This way, Milim!"

I shouted to get Milim's attention and started moving anyway.

It's a disgusting turn of events, but I'm now in an aerial combat with Milim in the "Suspended World".

If I had not been able to handle Time Stop, it would have ended at this point. I appreciate that, but it is hard to fight Milim in this situation.

I feel that my strength is being drained.

On the other hand, Milim's strength seems to be inexhaustible, and it is increasing rapidly.

It is so obvious that one can find the answer to this question with elementary school-level arithmetic.

We are doomed at this rate.

The world is about to collapse, and while I don't like the idea of that, I don't know who is stopping time in the first place, so I'm going to exclude Chloe.

Chloe is ruled out.

Guy or Velzard is a possibility, but I don't think it makes sense since they are also among those who can move.

Who did the unnecessary thing...

Feldway?

It's a perfect way to harass the victim, but is this really the right time to use it?

We are not in a position to look for the culprit like this, but we need to find out who did it in order to solve this situation.

That was the time.

'Rimuru, can you hear me?

Veldora spoke to me on 'Telepathy Net'.

To be precise, 'thought information' is transmitted via 'Soul Corridor'. In "Suspended World", it is almost impossible to use magicule-based skills, so it is difficult to transmit even information, except for exceptions like us.

I mean, Veldora is not affected by Time Stop.

It's a wonder, of course...

'Yes, yes, I can hear you.

What are you talking about! The situation here is that Shion and Luminas are in danger ! Adalmann and the others are having a hard time too... but no one can stand against Dagruel's 'Time Stop'.

'Yeah? Was it Dagruel who stopped time?

'Yes, that's right. Dagruel was the one who wanted to end the game quickly!

I see. The culprit is suddenly revealed.

The fact that they are fighting with Shion's group, I guess they must have been 'Spatial Transportation' with their whole army, as I had feared. That's OK, Shion's group must have worked hard enough to make Dagruel take them seriously.

Suspended World' is only meant to cut off the legs of the weak, but it is very useful against those who can't cope with it. I got hit by it myself, and I didn't think I could even use Dagruel.

Now, what to do?

There are two problems here.

The first is that Shion and Luminas will be wiped out if no one comes to their rescue.

The second problem was the means of transportation.

Spatial Transportation' in Time Stop is basically impossible because it requires flying "information particles" to understand the surrounding information. It is basically impossible. Although it is possible to move within the visible range, it is meaningless because it is faster to move normally.

This is because, regardless of the distance, the coordinates of the destination must be read by interfering with the "information particle".

If the "information particle" has to be moved back and forth, it would be faster to move itself.

In this case, even if I go to the rescue now, Dagruel will finish his complete control of the area before I can reach Lubelius.

The result would be the same whether I went there or asked Veldora.

And since I was dealing with Milim, Veldora was the only one I could ask...

'Veldora, even if you can't make it in time, will you go to the rescue right now?

I've been waiting for you to say that!

I had hoped that Veldora would be in charge of the final defense of the labyrinth. However, now is not the time to talk about such things.

Now it's time to find a means of transportation.

Rimuru-sama, Ultima and 'thought' are connected. I'll send the coordinates to Veldora-sama.

Oh ?

It was Diablo who interrupted the conversation at this point.

" Spatial Transportation' is possible even in the 'Suspended World' as long as the coordinate information is known even at a long distance. ." "We have Ultima on site. Since Ultima is there, I shared the information with her senses."

I see.

You mean that's possible because you're connected to me through the Soul Corridor?

That's right .

You assured me so, but long-distance transfer during Time Stop is an illegal subterfuge.

It's not possible.

The fact that those who can recognize the Suspended World are connected to each other by the Soul Corridor is so exceptional that I was speechless.

In this case, anything is possible.

But I will not hold back.

'Ultima, please!

'Yes, sir! Rimuru-sama, leave it to me ! Veldora-sama, is this all right?

Thank you! Quahahaaha, my turn has come at last ! ' Veldora's laughter is so encouraging that I can't help but laugh.

Veldora's laughter is encouraging.

Moreover, the fact that Diablo and Ultima are now able to recognize the "Suspended World" is also very reassuring in this situation.

And then I felt Veldora shift.

The world started moving again.

It seems that Veldora has done as I had believed.

I feel at ease and resume my mission.

I fly toward the barren land, trying to distract Milim, who is in a runaway state.
