Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Tournament - Final [9]

The last day of the tournament finally arrived.

Last game today.

Whoever wins between Benimaru and Diablo will have no doubt.

That was because what was left in the end was the strongest.

If Gobuta stays there, there may be objections against him.

Well, even so there is still the fact that Gobuta remains in the top four.

However, Gobuta being the 4th place is ……

Obviously the 4th place should be taken by Souei or Gerudo rather than Gobuta, it could be said Gobuta was the owner of a strong fortune.

But did you know, to be able to unite with Ranga, it might be impossible to say that it was just his luck.

Currently he still could not master his abilities, but in the end he would master them.

In any case, he could potentially reach “Transformation” unification in one night, so he would be able to optimize the unification.

Previously, he had aimed too high to control the power.

Gobuta worked hard.

It is probably Gobuta that has improved the most during this tournament.

Well, today's game, well,

You could say Benimaru is blessed with his opponents.

Although he had a good match against Souei, the other match with lower-ranking people like Gozurl and by default won with Gobuta.

On the other hand, Diablo was up against three strong men.

Former Demon King Karion, and my greatest masterpiece Beretta the Saint Demon Doll.

And in the end it was Shion.

His opponent was strong people from the Demon King Class, yet he defeated all of them.

In any case, if he wins against Benimaru in today's match. There would be no objection to calling him the strongest in Tempest.

Well, how did it go?

Today's live report will be conducted by Souka himself.

Milim went to take Gobuta with him.

Apparently he said he would train Gobuta all day, he didn't seem interested in the final match.

Although I don't know if it's a good or bad thing for Gobuta, it's probably rare to receive training and other things from Milim personally. I want him to do his best as much as possible.

It seems like he is training with Karion-san the Lion Mask as well, they should be good friends.

All right, while praying for Gobuta's safety, let's watch the match.

「Then this is the last match! Last match, start !! 」

Last one……. Benimaru vs Diablo

After Souka shouted, the match started.

Kufufu.

Diablo rejoiced, joy radiating from within his mind.

The one who called out to him was truly, an extremely outstanding Master.

Even though he lived for a long time, he never found a fight that made his heart pound like this.

To him, fighting meant trampling on opponents.

The weak are only trampled and killed.

After all, it was because few people were able to harm him who were inhabitants of the spirit world.

Even when he rarely manifested in the physical world, it was very easy for him to slaughter the people who lived there during his stay there. That also included Summoner.

After all, not knowingWith his own position, the Summoner summoned Diablo who was a high-level being …

It could only be said that it was a foolish act, he could not even protest if he retired from living.

First of all, what kind of race was the Demon RaceDemon?

In the past, at the time when the Spirit of Light and Dark was born, receiving the blessing of light, the Angel Egg was laid, and received the dark wave of the Seed of Demon sown.

At the same time when the Spirit of Time was born, the eggs hatched, and the seeds sprouted.

Both were born as conceptual existences with pure energy bodies without physical bodies

That's the origin of Angels and Demons.

The mysterious thing is that Angels and Devils born at the same time have a bad relationship.

When they met, fights were inevitable, long fights repeatedly occurred.

However, because the effect of their fights was too great, unwittingly once in every 500 years they would only fight for seven days, the deal was made.

For Diablo who found pleasure in fighting, such a period of peace was the most boring of times.

For those who do not have a physical body, they do not have the ability to interfere with the physical world.

That was why, he rejoiced when the call from the new Demon King came, it marked the end of his monotonous time.

Said the Demon King (Rimuru).

『I prepare your food (body), the devil comes out.

Help and serve me! 』

He gets excited every time he remembers it.

He was called and given a name! He feels so intuitive.

He wiped out the little friesdemon that tried to steal the march, and then he put on an indifferent look.

So, he got it.

A new body and a Teacher worthy of him to be pledged faithful.

The body was adapting to him, the body was turning into what he wanted by freely depleting the stored magic power he had never used before.

Moreover, his Master (Rimuru) has evolved into a true Demon King. He felt a stream of energy overflow into him and replenished the magic power consumed.

And, the most decisive thing, he was given a name.

The body made from magic power that had been stored for a long time, the empty body was completely injected with magic power, and when he received the name, his form became stable.

To him, fighting meant trampling on opponents.

That's why he's not interested in power. After all, it was because he had no memory of a hard fight.

Even in the fight against the Angels, it was just a massacre and a normal thing for him.

Therefore, when the magic power stored up was consumed, he became a strong person worthy of being called the Demon Duke.

Even in the world of Devils, there was no existence higher than him.

Right now, he was able to stably use his experience that he had gained in a very long time, he might actually become an existence comparable to a True Demon King.

Even Diablo could not see the limits of his Master Rimuru.

For the first time Diablo realized there was a sky above the sky. [1]

And, for him who had no interest in strength until now, Diablo also began to expect strength after being inspired by his monster friend.

Champion 1.

It was proof of being the highest among the subordinates of the monsters from Demon Lord Rimuru.

That is proof of being the most useful and trustworthy person.

What a sweet voice that stirs the mind.

“By all means, the first rank seat should be mine.” So Diablo thought.

Shion who proposed the rank, was defeated by it.

But, he also admitted Shion was the strongest oni, as he was his opponent in the semifinal round.

It was impossible to lower his vigilance.

(Kufufufuf. However, the one who won this was me!)

While Diablo was looking forward to the fight, he did not doubt his victory.

「..... Last match, Start !!」

With Souka's signal, the final match began.

Now all that was left was to win against Benimaru with all his strength.

Diablo had not been excited yet, but he released the strength he carried in his body!

Benimaru thought while observing Diablo.

This devil.

There were many strong and mutated people among Rimuru's subordinates.

But, only this Demon (Diablo) was special.

In Benimaru's insight, if he and Shion were to fight head-on, without a doubt the winner would be Shion. So he thought.

Simple reason. Benimaru is suited for group combat while Shion is cut out for individual combat. That'sallthatis.

Turning the same amount of energy for a group attack into a single target would increase its strength.

But even with such conditions, he thought that Shion had more advantages in one-on-one combat.

However, in front of Diablo, Shion was defeated.

It was a direct fight, yet he was overwhelmed.

Benimaru thought that his chances of winning in a straight-forward fight were low.

“......Start!”

In response to Souka's shout, he distanced himself from Diablo in an instant.

Lukewarm tricks and techniques are meaningless.

The right choice is to challenge the opponent with the strongest skill with maximum strength. It was a decision Benimaru had taken after watching the defeated Lion Mask and Shion fight, It was decided in the beginning!

「Black Fire Prison Fire Hell」

A black ball as big as a fist flew towards Diablo.

There was no attempt from Diablo to dodge it, the formation of the magic circle was immediately completed, and a 3m diameter dome was formed with Diablo in the center.

Unlike the previous one, it was loaded with an enormous amount of magic power. It was a successful compression of Hell Flame, which possessed incomparable strength that could not be resisted.

Just like Benimaru, Diablo also had resistance to Natural Effects, but was useless against the black flame cancellation attribute.

When the dome is completed, Benimaru's victory will be guaranteed, or at least that's what should happen.

「Kufufufufu. If I take this attack straight ahead, it will be dangerous. Firdaus

Time (Allurement Time) [2]. 」

Diablo's voice rang out and the time around him stopped.

Before he was completely burned by the black fire dome, the movement of magic power was stopped, and the heat formation was blocked.

Even though he only saw her for an instant, he understood the details of her technique and countermeasures.

It was another effect of the Unique Skills 『Great Wisdom [3]』 Diablo had, for Diablo who had mastered this skill, a skill that required a long activation time was useless against him.

This was definitely the most terrifying aspect of him diligently mastering this ability.

Also the reason why Diablo deliberately allowed himself to receive attacks from his opponent, was only to reaffirm the results of his analytical judgment.

In the case of some techniques, he could even steal them just by looking at them

「Cih, just by looking, my technique is already sealed ....」.

In a world that is at a standstill, Benimaru grumbles to Diablo.

His first card was sealed, there was no anxiety in Benimaru as he thought of his next plan.

From the beginning, Diablo was in a better position, because he had seen through someone's mind.

But, even if they predicted that they were equal in a simple physical fight, if there was no winning move, it would be futile.

Since there was the cancellation of the physical attack, a simple slash would not deal any damage.

Although it was possible with the Aura Blade, its strength was too weak to deal fatal damage to any of them.

Instead, Benimaru predicted that he would lose if Diablo used his abilities.

「Kufufufufu. Please stop being so pretentious.

You still have a trump card, don't you?

You'll die if you don't take my techniques too seriously, you know! 」

Diablo started the movement to use the technique at the same time as he stated.

“End of World” that surpasses Shion Special Transfer, is a Super Special Transfer. [4]

Benimaru judged that he had no time to think, and unleashed the sword arts he had learned from Hakurou.

“Dipped Stream” Slash.it was like flowing water, counteracting everything and parrying it back to the opponent.

Without being able to grasp its elegant simplicity, the effect would be confusing to the opponent, that was the pinnacle of sword arts.

「Last of the World!」

「Dipped Slash Current !!」

At the same time as the End of the World was thrown, the time stopped by Heaven Time began to flow.

Receiving the side effects of the End of the World, intense pain radiated throughout Benimaru's body.

The energy that was undeniable by the “Freedom of Dim” Stream penetrated through his entire body.

「Kufufufufu. You still have more. Or, did you give up? 」

Benimaru was thrown and rolled on the ground as the stoptime began to move again.

Although the pain was gone, her whole body was in pain, she noticed that this was a sign that her life was in danger.

Diablo asked Benimaru in a carefree tone, but Benimaru did not have time to reply.

Conversely, receiving the End of the World in Heaven Time and still being able to stand safely was abnormal.

However, he did not care about such thoughts, Benimaru believed that he himself was worthless.

His sword skills had improved so he could now fight on par with Hakurou. His ability to concentrate magic power for use in battle also increased and he could use it for various purposes.

But ……. Benimaru was inferior to Shion in Individual fights, he also lost to Ranga in large-scale battles.

In the end, he who specialized in commanding and looking at the entire picture, was he unable to surpass the wall of strength?

That is the problem Benimaru faces.

As an Army Commander, he could be useful to Rimuru. However, just like him now, wasn't it impossible for him to become the Rimuru Shield?

He was haunted by such anxiety.

That's why ………

(Don't mess with me. Why, there is a need for this great Me [5] to worry about the smallest and unimportant things!)

He gradually became angry.

At first she has an irritable personality, she has become more mature and learned patience lately, but …… ..

It was impossible for his initial personality to change so easily.

As a Commander, he has a sense of responsibility only to realize the goals of a harmonious environment.

(Stop that stupid. Unlike me, worrying over and over again is troublesome.

Right, I just need to win. If the odds are not there then I will make it appear!)

Benimaru made a breakthrough.

Benimaru stood up and brandished his katana without answering Diablo's question.

Diablo who saw the appearance as a decision for the continuation of the fight, laughed lightly.

「Kufufufufu. Benimaru indeed! 」

So he said while taking out the distorted blade, holding it with both hands.

It looks like three claws, symmetrical.

The length of one claw is about 1m, double-edged sharp blade.

It was a special weapon made by Kurobee for Diablo, ScissorsBladed Claw Scissors [6].

Looking at Diablo who had not used a weapon before and took out his personal weapon now, a commotion appeared within the Colosseum.

And, while anticipating something, they are overwhelmed by intense enthusiasm.

Benimaru cast off his doubts, and focused his mind.

First of all, there were men who improved greatly during the fight. If you said it recently, it's Gobuta.

“If that Idiot can, there's no way I can't!” this is the simplest answer from Benimaru.

(I'll do it. I will not let this bastard lower my power..!!!).

And while calming his mind, a thick aura enveloped his entire body. He called 『Demon Flame Transformation』, the wounds on his body healed.

At the same time, he combined his thick aura and black flames into one.

There were no ripples in it, a beautiful deep red aura enveloped his entire body and the preparations were finished.

It was not even more than a second.

「I'll be serious next. Don't hate me even if you die, okay? 」

「Kufufufufu. Beliefs like that, I don't like it. 」

Their gazes intersected, each one of their brains releasing the greatest technique they possessed.

「Harvest Hunting EndLife! [7]」

「Blowout Interment Rebirth Flamethe Hazy Black Flame !! [8]」

The Diablo scissors that reaped all the lives, at that moment clashed with the red-colored Katana Benimaru, it was stopped and rejected again.

When Katana was pulled, a wave of black fire aura struck Diablo and slashed at him.

Just as the water was flowing, it was inevitable, the flames wrapped up and burned everything.

Currently, the one produced today is the Benimaru Special Style.

Katana Benimaru can not stand the heat and impact so that it breaks and melts.

Diablo's scissors also melted due to the damage he received from Katana Benimaru, and became something he could not use.

Of course, Diablo who was holding it also received a huge wound on his chest and fell to the ground, losing.

「Ku, Kufufufu ……. Magnificently. This is the first time in my life I have felt defeat …….

Whatisthis? This bitterness. Never again do I want to feel something like that ……

“Will no more? Ye..Do you think the fight .... 」.

Benimaru fell to his knees as well, it seemed like he had exhausted his spirit energy.

「E, eetto ……. This is contestant Benimaru's victory !! 」

So Souka stated, at this time the winner has been determined.

It was a long tournament that lasted for several days. And then, finally arrived.
