Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Destinies

Receiving Hinata's signal, Fritz moves to the edge of the classroom to protect the children.

He looked into the school yard from the classroom window on the third floor of the school building and he imagined the escape route in his mind.

For Fritz, Hinata's orders were absolute, he wouldn't even think of opposing them. Since Hinata's predictions were always correct, there was no failure except in the previous Demon King Conquest War.

It could only be said that the opponent last time was too strong.

Therefore escaping with the children in order this time should be the right thing to do.

Fritz could understand that bringing children and information back was a priority above all else, he must have thought that the children and himself included would only be a hindrance to Hinata.

But still, just following orders for no reason was not good, so Fritz was attacked by a bad feeling. Or rather, it was Fritz's intuition that made him think so.

As a result, Fritz and the children's escape will be successful, or so …….

(Hinata Viewing Angle)

Hinata understood the entire layout by looking at it from the sky using spatial perception.

By the window was Fritz and his four children. The subjects he had to protect, he could not let them be swallowed by the attack.

“Hero” walks quietly from the door near the corridor to the seat in front of Yuuki.

A Hero's ability is equal to his own or better than his.

The story of the Hero who sealed the storm dragon Veldora which was the “-type Dragon” he saw when he attacked the famous Tempest.

“Can I win against that dragon?” According to Hinata's calculations, her chances of winning against the Veldora Dragon Storm were low.

Although there is no chance to win, but in hindsight, Hero has just woken up from a long sleep of several decades and it can be assumed that the Hero is not in normal condition. Furthermore, since Yuuki was in control, the Hero might not be able to use his abilities to the fullest.

If it was just to hold him; then it was possible. That is what Hinata's calculations have obtained.

Hinata immediately returned her katana to her scabbard, and took a position for iai. And then, he let out a forward attack, not moving from his place, using extreme speed to draw the sword.

「Bind SlashAstral Bind Slash! [1]」 (Hinata)

The glint Iai hid it, countless spirit substances gathered at the blade section and turned into innumerable blades that had been unleashed as soul-retaining attacks.

The spirit substances that were transformed into countless blades had the same effect as talismans.

It was a technique to bind the Astral Body which was a container of soul instead of flesh, one of Hinata's hidden attacks to seal the opponent's movements at the same time as the shockwave of the batoujutsu speed released.

The katana is part of the spiritual weaponry, it is the arm that results from the concretization of spirit power. Thus, the tip of the katana once again emitted a glittering light.

This is an action that can be done without letting the enemy predict his tactics as it can replace talismans and mediums to change the substance of the spirit. This would create a huge advantage in the battle between fellow experts.

But…….

「Otto!」 (Yumuki)

“.....”(Hero?)

His voice sounded joking, but his response also did not show any resentment.

Yuuki held back the shockwave with the knife [2] that he held in his hand. It was called the Snake Sword [3], a unique legend-grade weapon that Yuuki possessed.

This weapon is flexible, although it can be used as a knife, but can be elongated and used as a whip because the weapon has characteristics that allow it to freely change shape.

But, more than his status and performance as a legend-grade weapon, he had the ability to absorb a fixed amount of damage. Until it reaches its limit, the blade can undo all the attacks it receives. However, once its capacity is reached, it cannot be used until it is recycled in one week.

This time, Yuuki used his ability as he sat down. The blade absorbed all the shock waves without fail.

“Ah? It becomes impossible to move. How else, I'll leave the fight to you. 」(Yuuki)

Although the shockwave was aborted, one of the blades pierced through Yuuki's shadow and the restraining effect was activated.

However, there was no panic in Yuuki's expression, while sitting on the chair, unable to move, he appealed, Yuuki asked the Hero's order to fight Hinata.

Frankly his behavior was unnatural, he was sure he hadn't missed anything, observing from the start.

On the other side is the hero.

The Hero performs defense with transcendental sword skills to intercept each sword piece, although it must be the first time the Hero sees Hinata's attack.

Without changing her beautiful expression at all, there was also no feeling of impatience or condescension on her face.

「Understanding. Even though I'm going to kill, is it okay? 」(Hero?)

The hero nonchalantly accepted Yuuki's request.

And, in front of Hinata, the Hero asked a question as if it was a solved problem.

“No problem. It seems like Hinata will not be a subordinate. How else, right? 」(Yuuki)

ADVERTISMENTS

SCROLL TO RESUME CONTENT

“I understand. Then, at least I will kill him without suffering. 」(Hero?)

The voice was emotionless.

The answer seems to have been written before.

The hero reminded him of a ruthless killing machine. No, there are not even cruel emotions, it's just following his orders, Doll.

Hinata looked at her appearance and thought.

He also defeated his enemy without emotion. He felt that his former self was similar to the Hero now before him.

Hinata holds her katana while pointing her blade at her opponent's eyes [4] and confronts the Hero. And, he prayed that Fritz and the others behind would escape quickly.

When Yuuki appeared just a moment ago, he felt a barrier being installed around the school. He believed it might have the effect of blocking teleportation but they might be able to escape with 『Magic』 Transfer once they get out of school.

In the worst case, if they ran to the Saint church next door, it was also possible to be transferred to the headquarters using a teleportation magic formation.

Even if barriers are installed around the school, they can escape once they get out of the school. Therefore Hinata wanted them to act immediately ……

However, it can be said that such an opportunity does not really exist.

But what Fritz and the others did not notice was that Kagari (In other words, Kazaream) was leading his men and waiting in the schoolyard. Since it was still early morning, there were only a few people. Although it was time for the students to go to school, since the dorms were separate from this place, it was quiet.

Even assuming he was paying attention to the people gathered, they could deal with it at any cost. In other words, the exit from the school grounds had been blocked.

Fritz did not realize it, but he hesitated to trust his own intuition and take action.

It only takes a few seconds.

But as a result, in a short period of time under a minute all conclusions were settled.

Hinata focused all her attention on the Hero.

There was no point in worrying about Fritz and the others. The thing he had to do now was to eliminate the enemy in front of him and buy time.

Hinata crossed swords with the Hero without noticing Yuuki who was making a fuss, still unable to move on the chair.

Natural talent and effort.

Hinata was proud of her ability that was close to the level of a genius, it was a fact that she remained invincible until her defeat against Rimuru.

It was not only in swordsmanship but even in magic.

「Angoing Knife!」 (Hinata)

Magic activated without singing along with wind blades attacking the Hero from all directions, Katana Hinata approached the Hero. Instead, the Hero ignores the blade of wind and receives the katana Hinata with his own katana.

Although countless wind blades hit the Hero's body, they all turned into light particles and turned into magic power. It was completely prevented because of the Unique Skills 『Trak』 Defenses that Heroes have.

Hinata used countless magic, but everything was blocked by 『Absolute Defense [5]』 Heroes and did not give any effect. And also, Hinata's swordsmanship was completely rejected by the Hero as if he could predict it.

Above everything..

Katana Hinata was smashed to pieces with a single glint of the Hero katana.

With this, it's the third time. Is that the difference between their swords? Or is that the difference between their skills …… ..? Katana Hinata is easily destroyed by the Hero.

Although the blade changed every time it broke, it definitely showed that Hinata was in an unfavorable position.

From what he heard from others about the Hero's abilities, there was no indication of when the Unique Skill 『Absolute Severance』 was used.

Even so, Hinata did not panic.

The Hero's sword skill was higher than him. The magic didn't work either.

Even so, Hinata did not give up.

He handled it gently. And he's waiting for an opportunity.

“The sprouted Heroes” and his own talent, make his spirit strong.

Above all, because he had people he had to protect and there was a place he had to return to.

Little by little, Hinata's sword speed increased. The concentration is increased, and cracks appear in the eggshell …… ..

Hinata ran to the heights of existences called Heroes.

「I won't lose! Even if my opponent is an invincible Hero.

I will defeat you and I will surpass you! Take this, Melt Slash !! 」(Hinata)

Hinata challenges the Hero to a match with the fastest and strongest technique he possesses.

There are no small tricks.

The elevation made the throbbing heartbeat not felt until now.

And, as he exchanged blows with the Hero's sword, he noticed an increase in his sword force.

That single blow was the strongest blow with all of Hinata's strength as she broke her egg shell.

(Back to Fritz)

Fritz could not believe his own eyes.

The Hinata is awesome.

Hinata Dominating.

To Fritz, Hinata was a JusticeStrength symbol that he admired.

Although he was defeated by Demon Lord Rimuru, after that he realized that Hinata was growing and becoming stronger than before.

The enemy is a Hero stronger than Hinata, beginning to respond to Hinata's sword speed. Fritz's perception could not keep up with the speed of the sword anymore.

“As expected of Hinata-sama!” so his mind thought, then it happened.

「――Melt Slash !!」 (Hinata)

Hinata's attack is sent and attacks the Hero.

Next moment.

「Hero can not lose because it” Hero “lho. An outrageous existence is what a Hero is. 」(Yuuki)

Yuuki's muttering voice rang out in Fritz's ears.

The voice is like a sage who achieves enlightenment but only conveys simple truths.

“Very bad. As expected, Hinata can't beat me. I wonder if that Rimuru-santhe result will be different? 」(Yuuki)

Yuuki spoke as if he was talking about something far away, as if Fritz was not in that place.

Fritz could not understand it.

In front of his eyes, he saw the sighting of Hinata fainting while vomiting blood after her heart was pierced by the hero katana.

Although he saw it, Fritz's mind denied it and refused to acknowledge it.

「U, uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!」 (Fritz)

Fritz did not realize that the scream was coming from his own throat.

However, reality did not waver and the situation continued unabated with Fritz.

It was only a moment before Fritz understood this event,

(Back to Hinata again)

Convinced of victory, a hopeless reality strikes Hinata.

The Special Movement Hinata issued overlapped with the Hero. The technique was actually on the same rank as Hinata, but her speed and strength exceeded Hinata's.

Melt Slash.

The hero replies to Hinata's technique by using the same technique as Hinata.

And although its execution was after Hinata, it followed the speed of Hinata's sword and with that power broke Hinata's sword. The energy left over from the aftershocks even cut through the dimensions.

This technique is activated with Hero Unique Skills 『MuthakSeverance [6] 』, surpassing Hinata's strengths and skills in all aspects.

And, Hinata's heart was pierced without hesitation with one strike from the returned katana.

(–Is this the end…..? No, not yet. There's something I have to do!）

A hero is a person whose heart does not despair easily.

Hinata did not give up and tried to stand up.

However,

He tried using the Healsuper Extra Recovery Magic but it was not activated.

He thought he heard someone's voice.

The sound of a crying girl.

（Ah, I can still fight. At least, those kids and Fritz could escape ....）.

――Ya, it's okay. The children escaped safely.

(Is that so? That's a relief for now ...）.

Somehow Hinata was relieved by those baseless words, Hinata vomited blood and collapsed in her place.

Although he saw it, Fritz's mind denied it and refused to acknowledge it.

「U, uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!」 (Fritz)

Fritz rushed up to Hinata and hugged her while shouting.

Cold enveloped his body quickly, and Hinata noticed that his consciousness was weakening and his senses were paralyzed even though he felt Fritz's warmth.

“Ah, I can't be saved”. So Hinata was conscious. Because of that,

「Fritz, this is an order. Due to the Hero's attack, space had been torn.

If now, transfer magic can be used …….

Leave this place immediately ………. 」(Hinata)

He desperately retracted his almost lost consciousness, and Hinata said those words in a single breath.

Hinata cannot be saved. But, the children including Fritz could escape.

Who'sis that? Although he may have misheard, the words spoken seemed to be true.

「But .....!」 (Fritz)

「This order. Fritz… ..

I......... do not want to die in vain ...... okay? 」(Hinata)

And the kids who saw the exchange, Kenya, the,

「Uoooo! Melt Slash !! 」(Kenya)

A dazzling light was produced in Kenyan hands and solidified into a sweep of one sword.

And the sword was swung, Kenya used the Hinata technique by imitating it after seeing Hinata use it.

The eyes were blinded by the light from the flash of the sword.

Despite being caught by the katana the Hero was holding, the attack managed to tear off some of the Hero's hair and make it flutter in the air. ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ At the same time, Alice moved.

Their cooperation was perfect as they were connected by Telepathy, everyone was wrapped by the space manipulation magic formation that Alice had created.

Even Hinata was in Fritz's arms after she received one blow from the Hero.

Such a chain of events happened in an instant.

………

……

…

What was left in place when the light of Alice's Space Manipulation Magic Formation disappeared was only two people.

Only Yuuki and the nameless Hero.

On the classroom floor there was a pool of red blood that had not dried up which clearly proved that the current events were reality.

「Ahh, I put up so many flags, so maybe they can run huh?」 (Yumuki)

The hero did not answer Yuuki's mutter.

Since there was nothing, his expression was not blurry either.

「Although that's the case, is this going on schedule? Then, since it's over, will we return? 」(Yuuki)

Yuuki showed no worried expression, nor was there any sign of regretting his failure.

When Yuuki told Kagari and her subordinates who were waiting in the school grounds to return, as if nothing had happened, he returned to the Freedom Association Headquarters.

The nameless hero also averted his gaze to look at the tears in space that were recovering in an instant.

Will's light appeared in his irisless eyes, an aura he emanated as if it was the expression of someone else starting to appear and disappear.

“So. It starts now .......... 」(Hero.... .?).

No one heard the murmur with an unknown meaning.

The hero turned his legs, and started following behind Yuuki.

His steps did not hesitate, and the doll-like presence he had until now disappeared.

All that was left was a pool of blood that could not speak.

?????????????????????????

He heard a voice calling to him.

Hinata awakens her fading consciousness and listens to the sound.

「――Please don't go! Hinata-sama !! 」(Nicholas)

Ah, that sounds so sad ……

I'm sorry, Nicholas. Fritz too… ..

I can't see anymore. I'm just judging from the presence, maybe not so.

Are you living your life to the fullest?

―― No, there's still something I haven't finished. Even though I found a place for Me to return after a big problem, you know?

Are you sorry?

―― No, I don't regret it. If I regret it, I'm not polite to the person I sacrificed.

Do you still want to live?

―― I want to know which one? I thought I didn't want to die? But it seems impossible.

My heart is broken, and magic cannot be used.

Nicholas and Fritz. He also felt the sadness of the Holy Knights adoring him.

However, there was nothing Hinata could do.

If he thinks about it, he is warned by his Sensei (Shizu-san), is it a mistake for him to save the children?

――No, that's true. I puffed out my chest proudly, so I could say it.

After all, this event happened only because the enemy surpassed him even if he took precautions.

My body stopped throbbing, already in a condition where vital activity had disappeared.

The brain waves had also stopped, becoming whole corpses. Due to these circumstances, although Nich Revival MagicResurrection [7] 』 belonging to Nicholas was used, a revival was impossible.

Resurrection is only in name, because it is still an incomplete magic.

However, since he could hear their voices in the end, Hinata was satisfied. No, he must be satisfied, he thought.

Since he had left something wrong, he wanted to find and help people who were troubled with his own eyes, but there was someone who inherited Will.

She's blessed.

Because he didn't die when he made a mistake or when his mind was being manipulated.

At least, in the last moments she wanted to meet sensei again, so she hoped.

Just before Hinata's soul desire fades and disappears.

Ii'm Sorry. Everything is as it was destined. Your soul will be warmed within me.

Finally, the “Telur Pahlawan” that your soul has will definitely appear.

— Who are you?

I'm Chloe.

―― Chloe? Fifth child?

Ja. Because the Hero woke up, the people who could recognize me disappeared. [8]

You will assimilate with me, and will become a true Hero soon.

The one born here is the Nameless Hero.

Everything is a pre-established harmony [9].

As for your defeat and your death.

――It was a bit annoying.

That can't be avoided.

I recognize what it is, and to get your soul, I'm jumping into the past.

――Are the things in the future also decided?

No, what was decided for the extension is unknown.

All I know is that right now, when the True Hero awakens, only that far away.

By the time I flew into the past, the Hero whose existence overlapped disappeared and escaped from all restrictions.

That is, even though it is the assimilated existence of Me and You, it can be said to be someone else. [10]

Even so, will you come with me? No, I want you to come.

–I saw. That is something that can be rejected. But that can't be denied, yes. [11]

Because the Hero is a person whose heart does not despair easily.

Rejecting here is impossible for Hinata's personality, it means all is likely to vanish.

More than anything, he might be able to help Shizu-san and everyone once again.

Although it might not be possible, even if he calculated it with Unique Skills 『Mathematical Expert』, yet he understood that the possibility for this was impossible.

(But still, I can't help but pray.

Because to die is to give up and make the best use of my life for everyone ..).

Hinata accepted the offer.

“Thank you,” she muttered in a small voice to the girl, the souls of Chloe, Hinata and Chloe mixed into one and jumped through the time barrier.

Into the distant past

And now, the endless journey of the girl named Chloe and Hinata begins.

?????????????????????????

Nicholas confirms Hinata's death and lamentation.

No matter how many times 『Rebirth』 is used, there is no reaction.

Nicholas continued chanting magic desperately while hugging him tightly to warm the cold body that was getting colder.

Unknowingly, both of his hands were held back by Fritz, but he broke free.

“If you bother me then I will kill you,” as he thinks.

Then, interrupt Nicholas and Fritz, and,

「Please stop, Nicholas-sama. Hinata-sama is dead. 」(Leonard)

Calmly, Leonard who took the position as the leader of the Holy Knights reported, but this was a cruel reality for Nicholas.

「What, impossible ..... That's Hinata, you know? There is no way Hinata-sama is dead !! 」(Nicholas)

Nicholas shouting.

No one answered, Nicholas' words sounded blankly.

Nicholas understood it too. He just doesn't want to admit it.

In this world of magic, in this place he prays for the Lord of miracles.

That day, the death of former Holy Knight leader Hinata Sakaguchi was confirmed.

This is the beginning of what will happen later.

Hinata's death marked the beginning of a period of chaos in this world.
