Chapter 305

Rimuru’s Elegant Escape Play – 20

Melhis, who was Godama’s secretary, was shocked .

The scene of destruction was not something that the mind could easily comprehend .

That was the degree that Diablo was outside of the norm in Melhis’s mind .

She had been monitoring Diablo from the security room, just as Headmaster Godama had ordered…

And after having measured the energy, it had been unmistakably 7,000 .

(Lower than I expected . He should not have much trouble in that case . )

She thought as she made the report to Godama .

The result of this, was the horrible sight beyond the screen .

Since Melhis was examining the situation, she knew what was now happening to Godama .

And yet, when put together with what she knew to be normal, it was nothing short of ludicrous .

The Destroyers that they were so proud of were ultra powerful machines with energy up to 15,000 .

And there were thirteen of them .

It was overwhelming power . If anything, it seemed like too much to throw at the likes of Diablo .

Melhis had been sure of Godama’s victory the moment that Diablo fell into the pit .

And yet this Diablo, who only had 7,000 in energy, he had easily defeated the thirteen Destroyers .

And there was even more shocking information that made her tremble with fear .

As she had watched them through her monitors for a while, and been able to measure the combat data, she had come to the conclusion that Diablo’s energy was constantly at the same level .

But for the numbers to stay exactly the same throughout the whole time–that was just not normal .

For instance, a single punch from a Destroyer would have to have energy that is less than 15,000 .

They had found out through a mountain of combat data, that it was usually about 0 . 2% .

This was obvious, as energy was the combination of all of the person’s abilities .

Mobility, reflexes, attack power, defense power, intelligence, mental strength, luck(uncertain element), all of these and more were combined to create this number that was energy .

The actual energy that was used in an attack was very low . This had all been established even before they began their research .

However .

Diablo’s numbers were at 7,000 .

(It was impossible…how can this happen…!! It doesn’t make any sense . I will not accept something so preposterous!!)

There was always a fear that your reality as a researcher was in peril .

However, the data right in front of her proved that the results of the tests were correct .

She was watching a person who could freely control his energy at MAX level at all times . If someone had ten times as much energy as him, they would still not be able to beat him .

With this fact in front of her, Melhis could not be blamed for feeling such fear .

Melhis was usually a calm researcher, but she was now at the height of confusion . However, the fighter within her remained calm, and was telling her to escape as quickly as possible .

At this point, Melhis had already abandoned Godama .

If anything, she was already thinking how this sacrifice, called Godama, would distract Diablo and give her time to leave .

And so without further delay, and without seeing the end of Godama’s fate, she started to make her leave .

That is why she didn’t notice .

She had been the one who was monitoring him, and yet, a demon with bright red pupils was looking up through the screen with an evil grin .

Melhis’s fate had been decided the moment she made an enemy of Diablo .

◇◇◇

Melhis was afraid of being followed and so she was extra careful while fleeing .

To Melhis, Godama was not so much a respectable superior, but a pawn to be used .

And so she had no regrets over betraying him .

The only thing that was important to her now was that she protect herself and run to a place of safety .

She had to share this newly acquired information with the others . And now that they knew where Magnus and the others were, it would be bad if she didn’t contact them .

Because of all these thoughts, Melhis was full of anxiety .

Still, she was able to calm herself and act carefully because she was a first-rate warrior .

It was late in the night when she finally arrived at the secret hideout of the Reformists .

Melhis was so worn out that she looked like a different person in just one day .

The people that greeted her realized that something must have happened, and they ran to her with pale faces .

“Melhis, what happened?’

“What is going on?”

Melhis stopped them with a raise of her hand before opening her mouth .

“Headmaster Godama has been caught by Diablo . He may even be dead now . As our rules demand, I prioritized the sharing of information and fled instead of rescuing him . ”

She paused with a sigh .

“What!?”

“So then Godama is…”

“How did this happen? How are things now?”

They asked her excitedly .

And just as Melhis was about to open her mouth again–

“Silence!”

Came a shout from one of the people in charge .

It was a group of Glory Knights in their white robes–they were the strongest of the ‘Humanity Emancipation Alliance’ .

There were some who were a part of the Accommodationists and Moderates, but the majority of them sided with the Reformists . After all, it had been the results of Godama and Mehlis’s research that had allowed them to devise ways to fuse demons and control them .

Furthermore, Melhis herself was one of the Glory Knights, and also had a demon dwelling within her .

In a way, it could be said that Melhis herself had given the Glory Knights the power of the demons and made them powerful .

“Melhis . How did this happen, with you there?”

One of the knights asked Melhis .

The others seemed to have calmed down now that the Glory Knights were present, and so they decided to listen to what she had to say .

Melhis nodded and explained to them the events of the day .

“Alright, I will tell you . But first, at least two people must guard the door . We cannot be too careful . ”

They obeyed her order and two knights stood by the door .

Melhis was very relieved by this and so began to talk .

“The truth is…”

She told them that they had been contacted by Magnus, who had been missing that morning .

According to a message from the Great Demon Lord Rimuru, Magnus and the others were supposed to be in the middle of training . And yet it was said that they had attacked teachers from the other schools and the students as well .

In other words, Magnus and the others did not know that they were being monitored by the Great Demon Lord .

But as they had already acted, there was no turning back now .

They had been trying to contact him to abandon his position as not only a student, but the entire plan and run away as soon as possible .

And it was then that Diablo visited .

In any case, if it was discovered that the students had accomplices, then the school’s management would come into question .

Both the headmaster and Melhis assumed that they would be replaced .

And so they had decided to be rid of Diablo while his guard was down, before he realized that they were his enemies .

“Diablo . You tried to…”

“How reckless…”

They audience muttered with shock .

Diablo’s reputation was known far and wide . He represented a kind of terror that exceeded even the Great Demon Lord Rimuru .

“Yes, I will not deny it now . But when I measured his energy, it was only at 7,000 . I assumed we could easily kill him with the Destroyers hidden underground…”

“Thirteen Destroyers should not be able to be defeated by someone who is at 7,000…”

“Did you make a mistake when trapping him?”
