Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Holy Knight [2]

At the same time that Arnaud succumbed to a desperate struggle,

Every other division also ignored the hope of being able to create a barrier.

For example, let's see how the fate of a squad …

.

Auburn's haired team captain, Grenda.

His troops smoothly prepared the barrier.

And suddenly they saw a young boy walking towards them.

He walked towards them, his blue hair halved by two horns.

This horn denotes him as a non-human.

Grenda clicked her tongue, handed the barrier arrangement to her adjutant, and prepared a squad to attack.

「Are you also a resident of this city?」

Although it was obvious, he asked to buy some time.

And even though he didn't expect a response,

“True. Let me give you a warning. Sit in peace and wait.

If you do, no harm will come to you, you know? That's the best result for all of you 」

He said he really underestimated them.

Grenda snorted and reprimanded the offer.

First of all, you cannot make a deal with monsters and there is only one monster before them.

Even though he looked like a high-level ogre, he would not pose a threat to them.

Giants tend to like battles that focus on raw power.

They slaughtered their enemies using heavy weapons with their brutal force.

In addition, they are also individuals who can protect themselves with very strong muscles and high regenerative abilities.

The giant is the natural enemy of an adventurer.

But they are knights of templar. Not a group that could possibly lose against an ogre.

They had never seen an A rank ogre.

The monster previously had the appearance of being a very weak ogre. But, he carried an aura of dominance to her.

Chances are, it was a unique monster named.

His confidence must come from the fact that he is one of the strongest creatures in the forest.

If so, they need to teach him the power of the Templars.

Like teaching a frog that never leaves the swamp of his birth how vast the world is. So that they will never be humbled again.

(Well, we'll kill him here so there won't be any chance of that)

Grenda thought about closing her eyes.

「Consideration! Single target. Danger rating A-! Three members, throw it away! 」

He thought of waiting until his subordinates put up a holy barrier, but there was only one enemy.

It did not release a powerful aura, so its danger rank was low.

That rank, however, determines the fate of Grenda Squad.

「You're sloppy. Didn't you underestimate your enemy too much? 」

As soon as the knights approached the young man, the scene turned hazy for a split second.

And, passing through the knights, the young man continued on his leisurely path.

Why did he pass through the knights .. no, the knights had already fainted.

When they were within range, he completely crippled them.

These three strong knights became helpless. In a flash.

「A-what are you doing ?!」

「You bastard ... what are you? !!」

He heard his adjutant yell and a strong feeling of deja vu assaulted him.

He recalled what Commander Hinata had said many times …

And the enemy before him exuded a power that could make you despair.

At this point, he understood the meaning of Hinata's warning. But, it's too late…

The shadow creeping from behind him had crippled his entire team.

Completely expressionless, a group of young men with identical faces incapacitated them and disappeared.

It seemed like he had cloned himself and surrounded the enemy from the very beginning.

Just like Hinata, the moment she warned them, the battle had been decided.

He did not underestimate them at all but prioritized the results.

Grenda's lost.

「I can tell you my name, but it hurts.

I have reason to keep you alive.

Tell me everything you know about the church.

Right now I'm studying torture, so if you don't answer, I'll experiment on you.

Of course, do not hesitate to refuse.

Well, what are you gonna do? I don't care 」 either

The young man muttered, completely uninterested, his expression unchanged.

Coupled with her pretty face, the sight filled Grenda's heart with fear.

Resistance is futile. If so, would he choose to speak or die?

Then he realized that he had left all his friends alive. Perhaps, if he chose death, he would offer the same to all of them.

Thinking like that, he decided to buy some time by choosing to be tortured…

「Check me or whatever you want! We will never submit in front of monsters 」

Grenda said as if she had given up.

He unsheathed his sword and filled it with spiritual energy. While awakening his spiritual weapon, he faced the enemy.

Even if his strength was not enough, he would at least satisfy his pride.

The beautiful blue-black haired youth, Souei, looked at him with a slightly displeased expression.

And sighing for his stupidity.

「I understand, You chose to refuse. I don't really care about rank and such, so I'd rather you tell Me whatever you know 」

Faster than the ability to finish his sentence, Grenda moved.

His sword quickly pierced through the body in front of him.

But, maybe he just cut off the clone because the enemy just disappeared.

Grenda is not eaten. If he was unable to find his real body, he had no hope of winning.

「Now, let's start the torture. Let me know when you decide to talk 」

A sweet voice whispered into his ear.

Grenda intends to fight but Souei doesn't think of her as a creature that could hurt her at all.

And suddenly, Grenda feels a surge of pleasure mastering her.

Souei began to stimulate her sensitive nerves with a thread. Instead of pain, heavenly pleasures attacked him.

「Now, I've sealed your ability to faint. So talk before you go crazy 」

Grenda fought hard in this incredible pleasure.

But unfortunately, he immediately gave up.

＊ ＊ ＊

As if threatened from the battlefield by Shion, Gobuta and Gabil head to a small group of knights.

Once upon a time Hakurou was running beside them and the Shadow Souei army had joined in.

「Do not hold us, dear brother!」

「Who asked you to come ?! And you have to make sure you don't get in the way of Me 」

It was the exchange of Gabil and Souka.

Although they always seem hostile, everyone knows that they actually value each other. Only they themselves do not realize it.

And after this exchange they finally reached the goal of the heir.

The knights also sensed a group of monsters approaching them and finished their preparations.

They filled their weapons with spiritual power and were thus fully armed.

“Awas! The monsters didn't look like little fish! 」

「By Captain, there are six dragons among them?

And the monster that doesn't wear armor is an ogre, right? 」

「No, although it is hard to believe, they are not ogres. They are fair people.

Unlike giants that relied on raw strength, these unique creatures wielded special abilities! 」

「Oh, sounds annoying. But their dragonewt front row also seems to have an unusual air about him 」

The knights discuss.

The monsters that were approaching were definitely the main forces of the monster country.

The captain clicked his tongue in annoyance. But, even if they left the construction of the barrier here surely another site would be successful.

It just proves how well Hinata reads their plans.

Fortunately their main army came here.

“Good! I will defeat the great dragon.

You two beat the oni!

The other five dealt with the other five dragons! 」

「Understanding! Wait, didn't you forget that hobgoblin? 」

「Tch. So what I ignored was some small fry. I'll face it in a minute! 」

He said and the knights nodded in response.

They know the captain's strength. People like hobgoblins would not even be able to land a single blow on him.

But... why is hobgoblin included with the others? Some of them thought, suspicion grew.

Not a single monster introduced itself.

Nor do they intend to allow them to do so,

「Drop you obstacle! Haou yougekizan “High King Spirit Beheading”! 」

Swinging his spear, he shot out a powerful shockwave at the monster.

The energy that escaped the body of Templar Gregory was meant to annihilate monsters with one striker.

Moreover, he shot out the Sacred Cannon from his hand, bullets revolving around that spear attack.

The energy from the spear and bullet were combined into one bolt of energy.

This yougekizan was Gregory's surefire anti-monster killing technique.

This shock wave presses in a straight line like the light itself.

Right towards Gabil and Souka, who had already dodged the attack.

As for the remaining Gobuta and Hakurou .. Hakurou had jumped into the tree and moved through the branch towards the knights.

So only Gobuta remained.

「What! Serious ~ su ?! 」

The path was very narrow, so only someone with Hakurou agility could dodge the attack.

For Gregory, killing two or three enemies with this attack would be ideal, but he would be satisfied as long as he killed the little boy.

And thus, completely forgetting about Hobgoblin, he turned his attention to the dragonewts approaching from the sky.

So began this battle.

The most dangerous is Gobuta.

Anyone and everyone who can save him goes first.

「Serious, what a joke ~ su! How cruel to leave this weak me ~ su 」

Gobuta grumbled to prepare for the attack.

Unlike the ridiculous head of the department, there was little he could do. He also does not want to be treated the same as them.

(Excuse me, Wisdom King Raphael-san! This emergency ~ su. What am I supposed to do?)

?ik?Aqueous. If you, the individual: Gobuta, are exposed to it, you will perish.

You have to 『Unite』 with Star Wolf, sneak into the shadows, and attack enemies from behind?

(Understanding ~ su! Thank you for always saving me ~ su!)

Surprisingly enough, as long as the link of thought is intertwined, Gobuta can communicate with Raphael.

And, using Raphael's calculations, Gobuta immediately got into action.

After uniting with the star wolf and diving into the shadows, he could avoid the shockwave. And in this situation he kept moving.

He felt a huge increase in his abilities and his raw strength at least doubled.

Without doubting Raphael's calculations at all, Gobuta slipped behind the knight who attacked him.

He was completely unaware of the fact that this enemy was the squad captain and one of the stronger opponents. In fact, he had blindly obeyed the Wisdom King's direction.

Knight Templar Gregory by no means off guard. That was why he could respond to that presence.

When he sensed a monster suddenly appear behind him, he rolled forward to escape from the place.

Moreover, he was able to dodge the attacks of the wolf fangs coming towards him from behind. And even launched a counterattack with his spear.

Gregory was surprised that the hobgoblin he had considered dead a second ago came out unscathed and attacked him.

But, on this battlefield, he quickly recovered and focused on the opponent.

The thought that he had underestimated his enemy had now disappeared from his mind, and he regarded the person before him as a worthy enemy.

Gobuta and Gregory.

Without losing or letting each other gain an inch, a fierce battle erupted between the two.

As he travels through the shadows, Gobuta appears in the midst of the enemy faster than anyone else.

This shocked not only the knights but also Gabil and the others.

「Shadow steps, yes. How humiliating. To think he could use shadows better than we could .. 」

「No, Gobuta-chan is amazing!」

「Ya, yes. He's stronger than us, you know? 」

Touka and Saika responded to Souka's complaint.

Although he had never heard anyone describe Gobuta as strong now, he knew he was not weak.

Really, the Monster Country Tempest had too many powerful individuals.

The level of strength of his master Souei that even he could not understand. He could hardly be surprised by it.

「True, I guess we also need to show off a little bit of our power」

He said, and descended into the sky to fight the soldiers who advanced towards Gobuta.

Effectively paralyze their communication.

The Souka group was thus able to fight against the knights one on one.

Gabil immediately set out to overwhelm the two aides.

As Gregory's direct assistant, they were by no means weak.

But their weapon choice failed this time.

The weapon meant to cut through the opponent's magic energy could not penetrate the natural armor of Gabil.

Although these knights definitely had other skills to use, Gabil himself was a first-rate warrior.

Blocking Gabil's spear, breaking their sword in two.

Moreover, the pride ability of the knights in using spirit magic without spells had no effect on him.

So they could not gain an advantage by suddenly shooting magic at him.

In short, they could not give him any damage and even the smallest trick — throwing sand into his eyes would not work because of the ability of 『Perception』 Magic.

They are completely helpless.

「Guwahahaha! What's wrong? Is this all you can do?

With this much you won't last an hour of Hakurou-dono's training session! 」

Gabil said, while playing freely with the adjutant.

From the beginning, Gabil had a rejection of the Sacred Attributes and paid little attention to their 〈Spirit〉 archive.

Moreover, they were inferior in sword skills and other physical abilities.

Thus, Gabil was a monster that could defeat two Adjutant Class Holy Knights.

Unable to accept the existence of such a monster, the aide decided to try to buy time.

As long as they could hold on until Gregory slashed that Hobgoblin, it would be their victory.

It seemed that these people had long forgotten the beautiful oni that was no longer visible.

The other troops as well, although called a force that could destroy a thousand enemies alone, were barely able to withstand the dragonewt.

And thus the battle continued, with each group fighting their respective opponents.

There was someone who ignored this battle from the top of the tree.

Hakurou.

When I saw this scene,

「Hmph-deep. Gabil has too much fun.

Souka's group was able to find a good opponent. If the battle is too easy, it won't teach you anything.

Thank goodness they found a good opponent. Exercise can't teach someone to feel danger 」

He muttered, observing their battle.

Of course, if any one of them got into trouble, he intended to support them right away, but that was definitely not necessary.

「Gobuta you bastard, if you can do that why did you run away …

But I think he's doing his best now. These are all guidance from the Wisdom King Raphael-sama 」

He said with a puasied nod.

Everything went according to plan.

When Shion suggested that they do a fight with people of the same rank – even though it was really silly – Hakurou and Raphael decided to turn it into training.

Although Hakurou could see Benimaru finding out about this arrangement later and demanding that they do the scramble.

Really, he hoped Shion would learn the fear of pain.

「No, it may be useless even if he is injured ..」

He muttered and sighed.

Well, in connection with the plan…

Using the link of thought he could communicate with the King of Wisdom.

Chances are, it was Raphael who had decided what ability to give them.

After deciding what kind of waitress would benefit their common master the most – Rimuru.

At this moment, without any doubt or suspicion, they were completely dependent on Raphael's advice.

Although Raphael often felt no need to answer, this time Raphael did.

And this carefully designed battle continues. With this, Gobuta and Souka's abilities could increase.

But, uh,

「Gabil is not good. He's having too much fun. When this is done, I will train it all the way to the 」 bones

Hakurou muttered dissatisfiedly.

But the pitiful Gabil did not know these things, and arrogantly fought the knights.

His good times will continue a little longer.
