Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (LN) - Volume 21 - Chapter 1.12

This is no time to enjoy the battle, Veldora finally thinks.

The unexploded 'Split Body' has been recovered quickly. So, there was not much energy drain.

She still has energy. If I fight at this pace, the recovery rate of the magicule is faster than that of the 'Split Body'.

But it is the same for Dagruel.

Half-hearted attacks would be meaningless to each other. I understood that and I felt it firsthand - however, it was not possible to make a big move out of the blue.

Since we cannot expect our opponents to let their guard down, we need to create an opening somehow.

Just like "kuzushi" in judo, it is important to secure your own advantage first.

It was a fool's errand to put forth one's best effort in the preliminaries.

Storm Dragon" and "God of Destruction"-they were evenly matched, and the one who was too hasty would be defeated.

But, however...

Veldora ignored all such theories and launched an attack on Dagruel.

"Kwah-ha-ha-ha! Let's go, Wingblade!"

Veldora created several 'clones'. Unlike the 'Split Body', they are not able to synchronize their consciousness and act freely.

However, they have been ordered to act in advance so that they are as powerful as the real 'Clone'.

The 'Clone' swarms around Dagruel in ultra-high-speed flight.

Their wings were vibrating, turning into high-frequency blades. The vibrations of the two pairs of wings, one large and one small, create a "blade world of death" that cuts through molecular bonds.

But Dagruel is not panicked.

"Damn, he still can't read!"

He said, but took appropriate actions on the spot.

In other words, a sword to the blade.

Instead of Dagruel, Glassord's face, which had been on the side, turned to the front. Then, he held up the greatsword with both hands and gave a flash of his spirit.

"Nope!"

Dagruel (Glassord) swatted away Veldora's 'clones' like a fly. Even the continuous attack of the "Blade of Death" by multiple 'Clones' was just an annoying child's play to Dagruel.

The tip speed of the sword, which is now more than ten meters long, easily surpasses the speed of sound, as befits a giant god. With the level of Glassord, who was a master of the sword, an invisible gap "absolute offensive and defensive sword area" was already formed.

As soon as they entered the "absolute offensive and defensive sword zone," Veldora's 'Clone' was destroyed. Without any success, all of the Veldoras were intercepted.

Dagruel did not slow down his attack.

Fenn's face turned to the front.

"Bind the chains!"

In Fenn's hand was the Gleipnir, which binds even the gods. With it he tried to capture Veldora.

"Gee wha !

Fenn releases a chain, which binds Veldora in Dragon Mode. Several 'clones' disappeared, leaving only the bound Veldora.

"Too bad, Veldora, you tried to deceive me, but to no avail. It is easy for my 'true eye' to see through your true nature."

Dagruel's 'true eye' had found the one with the largest amount of energy among several 'clones' without any difficulty. No matter how many imposters (dummies) Veldora produced, they were meaningless in front of the 'true eye'.

Veldora, bound with chains, vanished in a black mist.

Immediately after that, a cheerful voice, not unlike those on the battlefield, echoes out.

"Alas! It was my impostor !

Veldora shouted in a mocking manner, trying to rouse Dagruel.

Dagruel was annoyed and surprised at the same time.

Dagruel was annoyed and surprised at the same time, because he had been so easily fooled by the 'true eye.

"Really? You have deceived my eyes, haven't you?

Isn't it amazing?

What kind of trick did you do?

"Hmmm. This, Dagruel, is the difference between you and me !

Veldora said with a smug look on her face that sounded like a sound effect.

Veldora was beginning to get a bit carried away, though there was no such a big difference.

"Even if you unleash your true power, you can't beat me. There is a reason why I can't win!

Veldora blurts out some mysterious statement at random.

Although there is no solid basis for this statement, Dagruel is deceived. Dagruel is feared as the incarnation of tyranny, but he is an honest man at heart. This was evident in the fact that Dagruel had the strongest personality of all the members of the Octagram.

The reason why you can't win, you say?

You're right. I'm growing up too. I don't want you to think I'm the same as before!

You should be thrilled that he's letting his guard down. However, they did not do so, and that is why Veldora is Veldora.

Veldora dodged Dagruel's question.

However, Veldora really believes that she can beat Dagruel.

Because he has grown up and gained new authority. I can't explain more than that. Therefore, it is not certain, but for Dagruel, who does not know it, it is like a smoke screen.

Incidentally, the way Veldora misrepresented the 'true eye'...

Normally, it is impossible to deceive the 'true eye. The trick that made it possible was in the power of Veldora's Ultimate Skill 'Chaos King Nyarlathotep' - 'Probability Manipulation' of Veldora's Ultimate Skill 'Chaos King Nyarlathotep'.

Veldora changed the probability of his existence and switched the body and the 'Clone' in an instant.

It was a kind of fraud.

However, if 'Parallel Existence', 'Probability Manipulation', and even 'Spacetime Manipulation', you can surely fool any 'Analyze and Assess' by any authority.

It is one of Veldora's hidden gems, useful in every situation.

Veldora, as she boasted herself, had acquired a different kind of strength than in the past. Not only by the visible measure of magicule quantity, but also by daily effort.

It seems that he is always playing, but he is also training.

For this reason, he instinctively knows how to use his powers, even if he does not understand the detailed principles of his powers. Veldora thinks that this is not a problem, even though she cannot explain it in words.

Therefore, he could not explain it even if he wanted to.

On the other hand, if I had understood it, I would have explained it proudly.

It was fortunate for Veldora that she did not do so.

Even Dagruel did not expect an answer.

He did not mind and continued.

"I don't know what you are talking about in your sleep, but it seems to be true that you are growing up. Certainly, you are not the same as you used to be."

In the past, Veldora was just a forceful fighter.

Now, however, he fights with his head. He is using his authority to gain an advantage in the battle against Dagruel.

Dagruel praises him, saying that he should admit this. However, this did not mean that he admitted defeat.

While conversing, Dagruel creates a favorable situation for himself.

This is also one of the skills of combat.

Even a man as strong as Dagruel did not disregard the art of small tricks. Rather, they believe that it is important to gain even a slight advantage through such small tricks.

Dagruel's goal was one from the beginning. Instead of building up small moves like Veldora, Dagruel is trying to win the game at once with a big move.

"Your power is real. Then I will finish you with my strongest move ! Dagruel silently grasps the space and expands the range of the interference wave. After checking the interior of the space with his "true eye" and confirming that Veldora's "Clone" was not hiding in the space, he cut off the dimensions and formed an isolated space.

In the isolated space, only Veldora and Dagruel existed.

"What ?

Veldora notices something unusual. But it is already too late.

"I've got you, Veldora! Now is the time to break the karma! Destroy, Quasar Break !

Dagruel's quasar break filled the cut-off space without any space between the two.

A tremor shook the space.

Starting from Dagruel, an invisible super space-time vibration wave was generated. As they filled the interior of the space, irreversible destructive interference waves were generated.

The space, which had been compressed by the containment of expansion, was screaming.

This was the destructive absorption ray that Dagruel had created by consuming 60% of his own Energy.

Dagruel transformed itself into a pseudo-black hole, destroying and engulfing all the matter inside the space at will.

The friction created by the creaking of the space caused a dazzling light to flood out from beyond the separated dimensions.

It is a fantastic and terrifying sight.

If subjected to the interference of this overwhelmingly high density of energy, any life form would not be able to survive. It will only be decomposed and become food for Dagruel.

"Ha-ha-ha-ha! You are so proud of yourself, Veldora! Even if you can't see the main body, you can just eliminate all of its multiple alter egos at the same time!"

Dagruel laughs.

This technique, which combines offense and defense, is an excellent technique for recovering energy at the same time. However, most of the energy absorbed is used to maintain his own existence, which is depleted by this technique. Otherwise, Dagruel himself would be blown away.

Quasar Break generates unimaginably huge Energy through repeated expansion and compression. It is a dangerous technique that could be a double-edged sword for Dagruel if it is not controlled properly.

Of course, it is a means of attack for Insta-kill, which cannot be used continuously, and victory is guaranteed as soon as it is used.

Veldora's plan was brilliant, but it would be powerless in the face of absolute violence. Dagruel was confident that he had defeated Veldora and was ready to see the result.

The damage caused by the quasar break had destroyed the isolated dimensional space. Dagruel absorbed the damage and returned to its original dimension.

We could see that the space was distorted only by the remnants of the powerful Energy flow.

This will harmonize with the passage of time, assimilate with its surroundings, and return to its original state, but it was indescribable as a mark of extreme destruction.

Just by looking at this, we can understand how dangerous this technique was.

There is no one in the world who could withstand such an attack. Veldora must have collapsed into existence together with him, and it was thought that they were caught up in the dimensional collapse and disappeared together.

If it is a "True Dragon", it might be resurrected sooner or later. However, there is no future in which Veldora will be resurrected, and the winner here is Dagruel.

As it should be, however, a cheerful voice echoed in the battlefield.

"That was a close one, wasn't it ?

Dagruel's eyes widened in shock.

He doubted his own ears, thinking he must be hearing things.

"But, you idiot ! You ate it and you're still alive ?

Dagruel exclaimed in surprise.

The quasar break had not been used against Veldanava either. It is a trump card that Dagruel is now able to use only because he has grown up, since he could not control it before.

It was the most powerful technique he had ever used with the intention of completely annihilating Veldora. It was natural that Dagruel was upset. A direct hit would surely annihilate him. There was no escape because of the limited space. It was impossible to imagine that Veldora would be safe in such a situation.

However, Veldora has survived in this way.

What the hell did you do?

This is nothing to me!

This is the end of his patience.

On closer inspection, Veldora is not all right.

Her two pairs of wings, one large and one small, are battered and bruised, and a black mist is rising from her body. The magicule has begun to leak out because it does not have enough energy to sustain its existence.

This was a fatal symptom for a spiritual life form, which is often the case with demons and other such creatures.

In fact, Veldora was almost dead.

By making full use of 'Probability Manipulation' of the Ultimate Skill 'Chaos King Nyarlathotep', she was able to reduce the probability of her existence to the utmost limit. By making use of the Ultimate Skill 'Probability Manipulation' of 'Chaos King Nyarlathotep', he could barely escape from the interference waves of Destructive Energy. By allowing it to pass through his own body, he was able to avoid the Energy wave of destruction.

However, he was not unharmed. All of the 'clones' were obliterated, and the body was also damaged by the interference wave.

How terrible was the Quasar Break that Veldora, the "True Dragon," could be driven into such a corner?

At least, the old Veldora would have been destroyed for sure.

"Then, let's take another hit, shall we?

"What ?

Even though Veldora knew that this was a threat, she was still a little scared.
