Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Tournament - Final [4]
That's the main action. Milim was very excited; he pushed (threatening) the Lion mask. I heard him say, “Do you understand what will happen if you lose?” but what does that mean? Maybe it's better not to know. And with the signal heard by everyone, the match began.
They stood in the middle, observing each other. The two demons in front of us showed a very strong presence. And the fact that they did not release the slightest bit of their aura made the situation even more bizarre.
.
Karion never doubted his position as a powerful being. Until he was defeated by Milim, that is. But as a result of his defeat, he learns that a league outside of himself exists. Therefore, today he was observing his opponent with the calm gaze of a true warrior, not the arrogant gaze of a strong one.
These people are very dangerous.
(Ap ... a. hell? What is the demon equivalent to a demon lord doing here?!)
Normally, Karion would not care about his opponent's strength – rushed in with a smile on his face, ready to accept defeat. However, even though he had delegated the responsibilities of his kingdom to Milim, he lived as Milim's shield. Lose the battle, win the war! Not a reason he can rely on. Thus, training with this thought caused him to increase his strength beyond what he had as a demon lord. After all, she has been used as a daily stress reliever for Milim during what she calls a sparring session. Of course he'll be stronger than that. Let go of your defenses and you will end up in a different world. In order to survive, he had to strengthen his own body. Thus, he became much more cautious, and stronger. However, even Karion's experienced eyes could not see the depth of his opponent's strength.
“Hey, Lion Mask! You understand, don't you? Your job is to dispose of the doll (Beretta) in the upcoming match! I will not let failure here! As my subordinate, be excited! ”
Yet for some reason, he did not feel any encouragement from his words. Large droplets of sweat fell from Karion's forehead. What would happen if he lost? There was no need to guess: an incredible training would await him. So far, she has undergone easy fashion training and normal mode, but has yet to open hard mode. And according to rumors, there are also the last “mode hell” that can not be reached by ordinary people. If he lost, he would definitely be thrown into it. Thus, even against such a dangerous opponent, there was no choice but to open fire.
“Kufufufu. You don't look too healthy. However, I cannot help myself. Since I have joined the battle for the sake of my rank, I should be a little serious this time. ”
Tch. Tch. It seems like the opponent will not hold back, Karion thought,
“I can't lose either. I'm bad, but I'll try my hardest from the start! ”
He retaliated. And soon after,
“Start!”
Editor's note: this is definitely the signal Rimuru recorded earlier. So no, this chapter explains the start of the match twice.
Souka's orders reached their ears. And as if tearing the air around them, a battle cry echoed in the arena. Karion is roaring. Covered in white silver fur, he revealed the shape of his magical beast. He does not aim for victory while maintaining his strength; instead, he seeks to win quickly by using all his strength. Tinkling the arena floor itself, he unleashed his fighting spirit along with Byakko-Seiryugeki. A huge crack pierced through one of the stone slabs on the floor. The depth of the crack that proved the strength of his steps. Caught him! He thought, and confidently slashed the Byakko-Seiryugeki on Diablo's neck. He had just covered a distance of 10 meters in an instant to land a fatal blow, while holding Byakko-Seiryugeki – legendary items that could break through all barriers. The half-baked defense barreir would not be able to withstand his mighty sword. Karion's belief stems from the fact that no creature can avoid the impending blow.
It was definitely - though - that would attack that would give him a decisive victory before his enemy could gauge his strength. So thought Karion.
“Animal Attacks !!”
The tip of the spear split in half, preventing Diablo from escaping.
Byakko Fangs and Seiryuu Jaws. These two slashes embody the true power of Byakko-Seiryugeki. One destroyed all the fleeing enemy barriers while the other decapitated them in one strike. The perfect maneuver. And the right time.
Thus expressing her confidence, a fearless smile appeared on Karion's face. And at that moment, Diablo's figure disappeared.
(Teleportation?!)
Karion was startled for a moment, but then regained her composure and used the perception of magic to observe her surroundings.
High rank demons were those who mastered transfer magic. Interestingly instantly and without singing is indeed unexpected, but there is nothing that cannot be handled. In the space-time ability category, Transfer consumes the most magical energy. Making a gate and stabilizing the space was the safest, and it consumed the least amount of magical energy to move. However, what Diablo did just now — transfers without using the gate, even when moving by himself — ten times more expensive. And to teleport without using a spell .. only a handful of high ranking demons could do that. This is not an ability that can be used by just anyone. And the teleportation ability just now, it was an advanced ability above spatial transfer. Spatial transfer might look instantaneous to the average person, but in the eyes of a master there was a slight lag of time. But teleportation happens in an instant, time lag does not happen. This is the pinnacle of transfer-type capability. This is not an ability that can be used quickly. As a measure of retaliation against him, one had to endure, and wait for the opponent to exhaust themselves.
The opponent will weaken faster than you. So no need to rush. In fact, since Diablo did not escape using spatial transfer, it meant that they could not avoid it.
(Sad. A lucky man. If I had not used a sure-kill attack in the first place, he would have wasted magical energy aimlessly.).
Karion thought, carefully maintaining his attack stance. He repeatedly attacked to lure his opponent to exhaust his strength. And, every moment he would be gone in an instant. He patiently awaits an opportunity. Diablo kept moving around, fooling Karion.
(But, what an incredible amount of magical energy. How long can he keep moving.).
Although he only teleported once – at first, he did not transfer himself many times. To continue transferring without chanting, this was impossible even for the Arch Demon. He knew the demon before him was an abnormal existence, yet it surpassed his wildest expectations. But Karion did not become impatient. It was because among the monsters, there was his extremely unreasonable master (Mirim) whom he had always accompanied. So he stayed on the base and observed, paying attention to his opponent's reaction. Keep looking for opportunities. Karion's actions made sense, and, in fact, were correct. If the opponent is not Diablo, it is…
“Kufufufu. Analysis, done. I've obtained data on your physical prowess. I'll proceed to verify. Since this is a little dangerous, please be careful. ”
Diablo, who had been moving around until now, suddenly said.
And cold sweat drenched Karion's back. His instincts screamed “danger!” A myriad of fireballs floated around Diablo, emitting a terrifying heat, hiding a power that Karion could not see. Carion is resistant to fire and frost, but there is a limit to resistance. Karion unleashed his fighting spirit in all directions, creating a barrier to prevent the fireball from hitting. The impact was so strong that Karion nearly fainted when the barrier was shattered; however, he had managed to defend against all fireballs. And although intense heat followed, the barrier weakened him to a level that the Karion resistance could withstand.
While setting up the barrier, Karion transformed his magical energy into a raw destructive force. The attack aimed for the moment when the opponent was exhausted right after spreading the attack, this was the strongest magic particle cannon that definitely killed Karion. This time for sure, the final blow! As if responding to Karion's thought, the dregs magic particles emitted by the golden light burned the air around him. At this point, he did not hold back at all. All of his strength was behind this attack.
“Kufu, kufufufu. Greatable. It shows the brightness of your soul! However, you have used this attack rather late. Too bad.”
Diablo's voice reached Karion's ears. And, as if the world had stopped, as if time itself refused to continue, the light stopped right in front of its target. That is, right in front of Diablo.
“Must be!” Carion, thinking, and quickly moving to make distance. And then, he felt as if the mind and body were separated. Even if he tried to turn around, he felt his body remain in place. He could see himself shooting out the roar of his ferocious beast that would definitely kill
“A-what happened ?!”
Karion asked, impatient. And, happily responding, Diablo said,
“Kufufufu. This is my ability, “Heaven” Time. In this world, time has stopped and only the two of us are aware. Originally, I was planning to make you become my pawn, but your wishes are too strong. I might not be able to tempt you. Be proud of the truth. However, your spirit is weak against distractions. Evidence that your mentality is poorly trained. Rejoice. You can still grow stronger. My lord, Rimuru-sama and his ally Milim are like siblings, so consider this a service. Learn from these mistakes and dedicate yourself wholeheartedly to improvement! ”
Karion could not understand his explanation, but he realized his defeat.
Directing his consciousness into this world, he looked back at Diablo. And once again realize the huge difference between them. The fact that he could make this world his own was something he could never understand. Before so much information, there was nothing Karion could do. In this world, he could not even move magic power.
“Sial! I'll win next time! ”
He shouted loudly with his last strength. And Diablo's voice answered,
World end!
As he said, the world itself began to collapse, with Karion's consciousness trapped and destroyed.
Had Diablo not saved him in the end, he would have perished in the real world as well. And also, the destructive power of the Beast’s Roar was also caught up in the collapse of that world. So it might disappear in the real world. That's Diablo's ability. The ability to control the life and death of opponents based on their mental strength. His unique skill ability “Seducer”, is absolute when activated inside the illusion world. And, “Restore truth and error”, ability to change reality and illusion. The embodiment of illusion becomes reality in the material world. Only by training the spirit can you overcome this ability.
The world was back on the move, Karion’s Beast Roar was canceled in the illusionary world, and no damage was dealt to Diablo. All the mental damage was converted into physical damage, leaving Karion injured all over the body.
“I lost..”
“Kufufufufu. A wise decision. If this continues, I have no choice but to kill you. ”
Karion's defeat marked the end of the 6th round.
“Kufufufu. In the future, do not forget to train your spirit. ”
“The solution of your own business. I'll do it even without you telling me to .. ”
Karion glanced at the VIP room in between the audience spots. The figure of his master glaring at him while gritting his teeth became his line of sight.
(Aaa .... as expected, he was really angry ...).
Karion wanted to cry, but because she was wearing a lion mask, it went unnoticed. Let alone his mind and soul, what awaited him would lead him to the doorstep of death many times, no doubt. Thinking about it, Karion felt gloomy, and wanted to repeat the match.
.
Lion Mask – Karion defeated. No, I feel like he's trying really hard. His last attack was very good. If it wasn't for the Wisdom King Raphael's explanation, I wouldn't have understood what happened either. Souka was able to convince the audience that Diablo was using some tricks; he was very good at deceiving people, it seems. But it was a good fight. To the audience, it seemed like the Lion Mask was mostly overwhelmed. We who understand, see Diablo using extraordinary abilities that do not have common sense. Few, if any, truly understood what he had done. Besides us, of course.
.
“It's bullshit. That demon, actually beat Karion and won. It didn't seem like much of a difference in abilities but those unique skills were abnormal. ”
Mirim expressed her thoughts in annoyance. He is now completely ridiculed by Ramiris, and even dropped with “Serve You correctly!”
“In other words, my Beretta is superior!”
That one line angered Mirim and as punishment, Ramiris was pitifully tied up like a bagworm on the floor. The rope looked like a materialized energy, Ramiris probably would not be able to break away. Well, you reap what you sow. It's true that Baretta did it better,
but Ramiris is overrated. The person he was making fun of was too evil. So, trying to avoid additional damage, Veldora and I did not participate. Right now, the saddest one is probably Lion-san (Karion) who just did his best. Well, you will now be trained, and I hope I see you living in the future.
