Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (LN) - Volume 21 - Chapter 1.07

Veldora was sad, but that is none of Shion's business.

The battle with Dagruel had reached its climax, and the time for the end was near.

Dagruel and Shion clash.

Shion's attack hit Dagruel directly but did not even give Dagruel an itch.

Shion, however, was undaunted, and repeated his attack.

Dagruel, not to be outdone, counterattacks.

Shion's "Hercules Deluxe" caught a fist that was heavier than a massive iron hammer. Before the next barrage of blows could be unleashed, Shion continued to fire his fighting spirit with his large sword.

Dagruel floated in the air.

It was an unusual sight.

He is more than one size larger than Shion, and there is a huge gap between the two in terms of the amount of magicule. If we think about it in a sensible way, it was an impossible phenomenon.

"Nooooo !

"Not yet !

Shion followed.

He put more fighting spirit into "Hercules Deluxe" and slammed it into Dagruel.

His deadly sword, whose blade had more than tripled in length, struck Dagruel directly.

Dagruel, however, was also a great fighter.

"Nnnn !

Dagruel formed a defensive membrane with his whole body filled with his fighting spirit, and he eliminated Shion's technique. The "Hercules Deluxe" was caught by Dagruel's crossed arms.

Dagruel then returned the favor with a kick.

Shion, however, clucked his tongue and retreated from the situation. The residue of Dagruel's fighting spirit hit Shion, but he was strangely unconcerned as if nothing had happened.

"Hmm?"

Dagruel wonders, suspicious that the response is different from what he expected, and tries to find out the cause.

Shion, by contrast, is unconcerned. He does not even realize that his power has increased, but he just keeps on attacking Dagruel, gamely.

Dagruel immediately realized that even he did not understand. In such a situation, it is hard to expect to gather information through conversation. (Never mind. (Well, we can just smash them as we had originally planned.) ) Dagruel changed his mind and counterattacked with more force.

As a result, Shion's power also increased, and the battle became more and more fierce.

Needless to say, the reason for Shion's change was his evolved power. The essence of the Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo, the King of Tyranny' was the offsetting ability (Mai Nasu Break), which can be called the natural enemy of spiritual life forms.

When he received Energy from Veldora, he unknowingly utilized the power before it was completed.

He offset the received Energy with his own Energy, neutralizing it and converting it into his own. Not only that, it can also take the target's Energy and divert it by its own attack, so that it will be able to defeat any enemy in

the end.

However, the "eventually" was the key point.

Since Shion's Energy is limited, it cannot become inexhaustibly strong. If this were the only reason, it would not be as strong as Dagruel, which is far superior to Shion.

The reason why Shion was able to approach Dagruel so rapidly is because he was operating his power beyond the limit.

Shion has been trying to absorb and own the huge amount of energy that would normally collapse his own body. Even if he was damaged by the surplus, he was exercising his power without worrying about it.

This caused Dagruel to accumulate more fatigue than necessary, and his physical strength was reduced even though he was not injured.

This is the reason why he is a natural enemy of spiritual life forms.

Combined with Shion's immortality, the effect was all the more vicious. Shion, as the name of the tyranny implies, controls the raging Energy. He took the Energy and put it in his own body to fight against Dagruel. Thanks to the Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo', he has been fighting a good battle against Dagruel, a mass of Energy.

However, that was about to end.

Dagruel is a monster with a hundred battles under his belt.

He had not claimed to be a demon lord, and he was not so soft that he could do whatever he wanted to the newly awakened chicks. （I see. He seems to be appropriating my power, doesn't he?) I guess he's using my power," he said.

Then, the countermeasure is easy.

All I had to do was to end the game with a power that Shion could not control.

"I will do my best. Don't hate me even if I die!" Dagruel declared.

Shion responded, "I hope so!

Shion responded.

Dagruel unleashes his localized destruction technique, an anti-personal technique that converges maximized energy shockwaves.

"Maelstrom Buster !

Dagruel's high energy shines blue, and the wave spirals like a whirlpool. Riding the wave, Dagruel's huge frame takes the lead and approaches Shion.

At first glance, it looks like a drop kick, but its hidden destructive power (Energy) is truly Catastrophe-class.

Even with his Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo, the King of Tyranny', it is impossible to neutralize all of them. Dagruel tried to end the game with the power that was an order of magnitude different from Shion's. (The difference in power was overwhelming, but the difference was not.

(An overwhelming difference in power is something that cannot be overcome by level. ) "I am sorry, but you should know that what you have cultivated is powerless in front of me.

Dagruel recognizes Shion.

He did not lick him, and he liked his experience and his strength of mind. However, Dagruel knew well that there was no room for such feelings in a battle, and that the only result would be an overthrow by force.

Shion fought well, but only so far. When faced with Dagruel's true spirit, he had no other choice but to face the irresistible end.

For Dagruel, it was not a certainty but a reality that had to happen.

However, Shion does not know about Dagruel's inner thoughts.

In the first place, it does not matter what the enemy is thinking once the battle has begun.

Even in the face of the oncoming Dagruel-polar vortex maelstrom buster, Shion smiles fearlessly.

Dagruel notices this and becomes suspicious.

（Has he given up in the face of death? No, that's not it...)

Shion looks like a challenger who has not given up the victory yet, and his expression shows his will to fight back. At a time when there was nothing he could do - but at that moment.

A flash of light fell on Dagruel's brain.

"True Chaotic Fate !

Shion's flame arrives late.

Dagruel's eyes widened in astonishment.

-Yes, there was an intense pain in his brain and forehead that he had not felt in a long time.

It was a pain that had been there for thousands of years, but that was not the only thing that startled Dagruel.

He felt a solid response as if a maelstrom buster had exploded with the intention of killing Shion and his respect for him.

This was as expected, but Shion's response was unexpected.

Shion threw away all his defenses and focused all his energy on the attack.

（That's ridiculous! Is he trying to die ?)

Dagruel liked Shion. He was even attached to Shion to the extent that he did not want him to die if possible.

Although they were enemies now, he had a thought that they might become friends when the war was over. Even if that was impossible, Dagruel had no intention of killing him.

If he was as strong as Shion, there was a possibility that he could survive as long as he was on the run. As long as he did not give up his life to the end, Dagruel was willing to let him go as long as he did not disturb him any more.

However, Shion died in a vain attempt to save his life...

（What ?)

At that moment, Dagruel noticed something strange.

He was distracted by the pain in his brain, but there was something else wrong.

Incredibly - yes, unbelievably, but unrealistically - Dagruel was on his knees on the ground.

He could not get up.

（What happened?)

Dagruel read his memory again.

Shion did not defend.

He had done his best to counterattack, perhaps realizing that he would not be able to defend himself completely.

He slashed "Hercules Deluxe" from below to counter Dagruel's attack from above.

Normally, the blade would never have reached Dagruel because it would have been repelled by the violence of the maelstrom buster.

The difference in power was that great, but at the moment of intersection, Shion's blade disappeared as if in a haze.

It was as if the blade had defied the laws of physics and struck Dagruel directly.

(No     way...Guaranteed     Outcome?     Did     Shion     perform     'causality

manipulation' on me ?)

) Dagruel's understanding was correct.

Shion had already had the experience of reaching Dagruel with his blade on several occasions. Although he had not been able to inflict much damage, he had certainly been able to "hit" him.

So for Shion, it was a simple matter to reproduce the phenomenon.

The power of Ultimate Skill 'Susanoo' is 'Thought Acceleration Universal Perception Demon Lord Haki Guaranteed Outcome Infinite Regeneration Behavioral Alteration, Emptiness Offsetting, Illusion Destruction, Spacetime Manipulation, Multidimensional Barrier', are all outstandingly diverse and useful.

Among them, 'Infinite Outcome' and 'Illusion Destruction' are the most dangerous ones, and if they are combined, there is a possibility that they can kill Rimuru as Ciel warned.

Since Shion made full use of these powers, it is natural that Shion's true Chaotic Fate gave Dagruel a severe blow.

However

Shion himself would not be safe.

Shion was also directly hit by Dagruel's Chaotic Fate, and how Shion's 'Ultraspeed Regeneration', or even 'Infinite Regeneration', which is more than even 'Divine Speed Regeneration', was more than 'Ultraspeed Regeneration', or even 'Infinite Regeneration'. Even if Shion had 'Ultraspeed Regeneration' or even 'Infinite Regeneration', he should have been killed instantly.

But that is only if Shion was alone.

"Rebirth !

Luminas's beautiful voice echoes through the battlefield.

The voice of Luminas echoes on the battlefield to save Shion by the hand of God before the violence of Dagruel shatters his soul.

Shion, who was destined to die, is rescued from the brink of death by Demon Lord Luminas' Ultimate Skill 'Lustful King Asmodeus'.

Shion stands proudly against Dagruel, who kneels on the ground. The victory was clear for all to see.

"Uh-huh. Thank you for saving my life, Luminas-sama.

"You dummy...what were you going to do if I (Ruminas voice) couldn't be saved?"

In that case, Shion would have died.

Shion's strategy had worked, as he had hoped that Luminas would surely be able to save him.

"Of course, I believed that Luminas-sama would do something about it!

Hearing this, Luminas let out a big sigh of exasperation.

He shakes his head and smiles.

Don't call me "sir". You can call me Luminas.

"- ! "

Are you dissatisfied?

"No, Luminas, from this day on you are my friend!"

Very straight forwardly, Shion smiled and showed her goodwill.

"Hmph! You can think whatever you like!"

Luminas responded with a bright red cheek, as if embarrassed. Then, she turns away from me with a tsuntsun.
