Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
The Battle of Mobilization and Destruction

The war of annihilation the Purge.

From his subordinates, Calgurio had received many reports of despair.

The situation was very bleak; it proved that this war had failed.

No, it's not all.

It had already reached a point where the possibility of retreating from the forest alive was questionable.

(How did this happen? No, since when ......?)

With this thought locked in a circle of despair and failing to get out of it, Calgurio once again evaluates the hopeless situation while determining the likelihood of their actions.

Although he could do nothing to reverse the scenario of this worse case, as captain of the corps he was still responsible for the lives of his officers and soldiers.

That was the one thing he would never do.

The first reports were originally intended to convey that the capital's invading forces had been fighting with enemy forces.

This heated battle had almost reached a stalemate.

Despite their overwhelming superiority in numbers, they could not push through the impenetrable enemy defense formation; the enemy fought with vigor.

The magic cannons and wide-scale magic belonging to the magicians were all completely flanked by the enemy's defensive barrier, unable to use their effects.

Despite being an enemy, it was a praiseworthy defensive formation.

Since they had lost contact with the underground prison capture squad, they could only head to the capital.

This is not the time to praise the enemy's defense.

By the time Calgurio connected the dots, he had already noticed that he was leaned against the wall.

But, it's too late.

The situation has escalated rapidly.

A new enemy has emerged. The army is the living embodiment of terror.

With oppressive might, they managed to start trampling them.

Their numbers barely reached one-tenth of their own, yet they could do nothing.

According to the report of the energy measuring team, there were several individuals with a large amount of magical essence within them.

TN Note: It's over 9000! It never gets old ??

However, the majority of the enemy forces, their energy value was comparable to their own strength.

The number of A rank monsters was not much.

However, the results had unfolded before him, and their own strength was cornered.

There is further development.

From within the impenetrable enemy formation, unparalleled wide-scale magic was unleashed.

Due to the attack from the enemy's magic and Youjutsu, there were many causes within the imperial power.

The purpose of the purple armored force was to spread a unified fear, causing the imperial army to fall into confusion, finally realizing that the barrier was weakening.

it was a brilliant display of cooperation

However, if it was only to the ext inient, they could still regroup.

The vanguard and vanguard of the capital's invading forces each had 100,000 soldiers.

when the front row begins to collapse, the rear row can provide support, change positions with the front row and regroup.

This is possible precisely because of their tremendous advantage in numbers, a strategy that is sure to win.

(Even if it is only a temporary superiority, we have preserved the dignity of the Demon King)

TN Note: Like how Germany allowed Brazil to score in the FIFA semi-finals so they didn't suffer a total defeat, except in this case we all know what happened next.

Once he realized he was cornered, he had just gotten a little coverage.

Unless the coverage has vanished soon after.

Through the use of telescopic magic, imperial army advisers including Calgurio observed the battlefield several kilometers away.

Everyone was at a loss for words in an instant.

The remaining sense of coverage, immediately disperse.

The energy measuring team shouted like crazy and shouted in fear.

ADVERTISMENTS

SCROLL TO RESUME CONTENT

“O, command immediate retreat !!”

They say.

Unless it's too late ……

Rather than trying to understand the meaning of his words, it was much faster the situation before him.

The rearguard troops who wanted to support the front row were all struck by tragedy.

A kind of nuclear attack magic, “Gravity collapse”

Releasing absolute energy, brutal magic that spreads tyrannical violence.

Causing the gravitational magnetic field to be a fortress like that of a star, it creates a localized high-intensity gravitational field.

Everything in the affected region will feel its effects and be destroyed.

If everything continued to be compressed, all the energy would be suppressed into a single point, causing a mini supernova on the ground.

This time, it seemed that this was not the enemy's goal.

when the majority of the soldiers were crushed to death, the magic effect disappeared.

Even so, among the 100,000 soldiers, the surviving ones numbered ……

“A mo, monsters. There is only one, but the magic of the galaxy ……

A magic that exists only in theory ……

It is impossible to use it here, the required energy consumption is huge .... ”.

Indeed Calgurio had that science.

Theoretically, this may happen, but it is still in the research phase.

It was not magic confirmed in the past, but rather the incorporation of imperial technology, knowledge from other worlds, and the compilation of theories that created a new kind of wide-scale magic that was being researched.

TN Note: obviously not

However ..... it was activated perfectly.

And it only takes one monster.

Demon King.

Those words, in addition to realistic fear, had reached Calgurio's brain.

We, have raised our hands against someone we should never have met, right?

TN Note: do you think so?

First of all, to activate such a large magic, even with 10 magicians it might not work.

Its energy consumption could not be compared to ordinary nuclear attack magic, and without perfect concentration it would only result in an accidental release of energy.

Even so......had the ability to stop him completely halfway through, it could only be considered an inhuman ability of a monster.

Magical itch

“But ..... we still have scientific weapons, magic removers .....”

“No, we must immediately retreat, Calgurio sama”

The man who had suddenly barged into the tent, said this to Calgurio.

When thinking about what the guards were doing, he looked at the man,

“A, aren't you Krishna Dono?”

In the Empire's battle for position, this man was often of high rank.

He also frequently participated in these battles, he was a swordsman who could not be careless.

This man, with a haggard appearance, wore the strongest imperial legendary rank equipment, and there was a gaping hole in his chest plate.

There are still signs of matigle fighting on it.

“See, Bazan and Raiha are dead. Colonel Kansas and Major General Minutes.

In addition, 2 ‘Lainworld’. There were monsters there that could not be destroyed even with such strength.

We just detected a great magic, but we're afraid it's not the demon lord.

Several Arc demon grade monsters had been identified within the dungeon.

That, there were even Demon King classes. The magic we detected, was most likely used by one such person.

Backwards now. There is no harm, decide quickly! ”

TN Note: ... I think the author mixed the demon lord and demon lord, but his raw say Demon King .. I might turn him into a demon duke at my own discretion in the future.

“Not the Demon King?

And, there are some more monsters?

Demon King ?!

So that's how it depends on this level ……

And on top of this, the evil dragon Veldora still hasn't appeared ……

And Demon Lord Rimuru has not made a move ……

Gather the soldiers, we retreat immediately! ”

Of the three resurrection bracelets seized from Shinji and his partner, Calgurio has taken one and hidden it for himself.

2 Was given to the Technology department for analysis, and one of them was given to Krishna.

Since the Emperor's orders were absolute, the Technology department could only hand them over without complaint.

One has been completely dismantled so this is the only one that can be used, and thanks to the bracelet Krishna can revive.

And thus, while the resurrection effect of the bracelets has been confirmed, replicas that have no effect are also confirmed.

the soldiers in the dungeon, in the true sense of those words, were annihilated.

350,000 soldiers, all destroyed.

Calgurio's skin paled, but now was not the time for it.

There was a tank corps and 400 airships, first they had to regroup with them, understand the situation, and then reorganize the troops.

Worse still they would retreat back to the empire, but it was much better than total annihilation.

Calgurio has decided, and will give the order.

However, it's too late.

TN Note: you'll be bad office workers, always a little late.

“Kufufufu. Well, that would be troublesome. Why don't you be my opponent for a minute”

the demon had crept in, never allowing their pitiful prey to escape.

Tension felt in the air Headquarters.

Only one monster bothers.

However, the aura emanating from him, was more formidable than any monster they had encountered so far.

Monsters with similar stature to them, yet exuded a more concentrated magical essence than giant dragons.

Moreover, it had infiltrated without anyone noticing it.

Even with that kind of aura, he still managed to enter without anyone sensing.

The guards pointed their swords at the intruder.

However, Calgurio's body felt heavy, he couldn't lift his sword at will.

“Kufufufu. You lesser trash want to fight with me equally?”

Red-haired monster, Diablo laughed.

Calgurio looked at Krishna, but Krishna was already on his knees.

Krisha may have felt a tremendous difference in her abilities, and was desperate.

Calgurio held a bit of silver hope, and tried to negotiate with Diablo.

“Pardon my rudeness, My name is Calgurio.

I am the leader of this Corps, and the highest authority in this operation.

May I ask your name? ”

TN Note: apparently ⁇ is a rather crude way of saying I. according to the dictionary. Overall, it was very polite.

“oya? You're a polite person.

“Name” I am Diablo, loyal servant of Demon King Rimuru. ”

TN note: he also used Shimobe on top of me, so he actually called himself a loyal lowly servant of Rimuru.

As Calgurio guessed, this is a named monster.

Or rather, it would be strange if something of this caliber did not have a name.

Confirming that the other party had reason and intelligence, Calgurio had hope with those negotiations.

“Diablo Dono, we want to offer you our submission.

If this battle continues, we will have more soldiers die, your side will also suffer more damage, right?

What the hell are you saying?

Of course, we will pay compensation, and promise to refrain from all future acts of invasion.

No, we can even have an alliance between Tempest and our Empire!

We will not forget this kindness. Hows it?

Can you convey this to Demon Lord Rimuru similarly? ”

Considering the current situation, all 350,000 of the underground chamber capture team had died.

As for the Capital's attacking team, more than half died or could no longer continue fighting.

Unable to contact other forces, the current combat force numbered 150,000 members including survivors who numbered slightly less than 200,000.

There would be a number of causes if they acted violently, so if they wanted a total victory, this was a considerable proposal.

Calgurio had made a split-second decision, rather than running away, he was trying to negotiate with Demon Lord Rimuru through an intermediary.

This military operation really failed.

They had completely underestimated the strength of the enemy.

It was a pride battle power that could fight 3 old demon kings simultaneously and still win.

Even if they combined all the fighting forces from the west, they would still be incomparable

one third of the imperial power.

They were confident of an absolute victory, but this was the result.

The Demon King class, and several demon king class individuals, were all under the banner of Demon King Rimuru.

TN Note: yes, I think Daemon Road should be Demon Duke…

They have to pay compensation here and retreat, then rebuild their troops for the next.

There were already nearly 500,000 deaths, and Calgurio would definitely be finished, but more than this then the backbone of the empire would collapse.

Calgurio is greedy, but not incompetent.

That's why he offered this proposal.

If the enemy demands the lives of the generals, then he must be ready to sacrifice himself.

But, it's too late.

TN Note: At this point they have just been cursed. Kamijou, is that you?

“Kufufufu. This proposal, it's a little late.

At this point, only you are alive. ”

Calgurio did not understand what he was told.

The advisors were also confused by his words.

However, Diablo produced a gust of wind with his mind.

* pachin! And snap his fingers.

In a few moments, the tent exploded, and the outside scenery had entered the Calgurio landscape.

And there's, like, a mountain of bodies.

The soldiers in the middle of their work, laid down as if they were sleeping.

It was as if their souls were being pulled out ……

No, their souls might actually be pulled out, the soldiers were unable to fight back and their souls were snatched away by the red-haired demon Diablo.

Diablo had no reason to take the time and effort to want the enemy soldiers to escape right from the start.

And killing them all would also be troublesome.

So, when he goes down he also simultaneously activates “End? Of? World”, reap the soul of every enemy army.

Actually, he could have killed them with madness through 『Demon lord’s Haki』, but that would have caused too great a commotion.

Diablo did not plan to let even a single enemy live.

Precisely because of that, he quickly annihilated the enemy, without the slightest hesitation.

First of all, he had always preferred to be a lone wolf.

That was also why he did not have his own subordinates.

They are just useless tools that are not even worth using.

There is currently a little fish boy named Venom who selfishly follows him everywhere, but if it proves useful then he will be taken advantage of.

for Diablo, the value of a tool is in its usefulness.

That was why a useless subordinate was not needed, he himself too, had to prove himself as a useful tool (a lowly servant) to his master Rimuru.

“U, u… ..UOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!”

Calgurio shouted, glaring at Diablo as if he was vomiting blood.

TN Note: Screaming means “ desperate scream” word for word

The anger that his comrades had killed had covered up his fear in an instant.

At that moment, an astonishing radiant Armor had enveloped Calgurio, and his mind became calm.

The strongest armor of the era of the gods.

Borrowed from the Emperor, a god-class equipment.

Allowed to be worn only by the 4 Corps Captains, it was a testimony to the Empire's greatest combat power.

“Inspardonable, devil! I'll kill you!”

“Kufufufu. It's more like that, now it's getting interesting. ”

They had a stalemate, and the final battle began.

However, it cannot be called a fight.

Because it means nothing.

That was because, to Diablo Calgurio was nothing more than a lower life form, even god-class equipment was nothing before his overwhelming power.

Tools only have meaning if you know how to use them.

This is just a sad story if the owner is unable to bring out the full potential of his tools.

Calgurio didn't even manage to make Diablo serious, it was just a simple reaper of a single soul.

There were 150,000 soldiers from the imperial army camped outside around the dungeon.

Apart from a few higher-ups, none of them were aware of what caused them to be annihilated.

In this way, the entire imperial power that came to attack the tempest, was completely annihilated without leaving behind any great achievements.

And the crisis has passed for now.

– Actually whether this can really be called a crisis or not is left to the people to determine.

Storms

Therefore, the invasion of the imperial demon realm was unsuccessful.

And the Empire's invasion of Tempest, ended in failure.
