“Indeed, maybe you thought it was just a distraction. Lady Luminous
give you the responsibility to defend the holy land, not by
killing bullies. That is the duty of our Imperial Guards, equally not
valuable to those they have just proven themselves. ”
“Guard with myself as chief knight. But Roy, was killed by someone in the
that level? Who is worthless now?"
He laughed boldly, right in front of Holy Emperor — big brother Roy.
Luminus Valentine is a true demon lord, twin brother of Louis and friend Roy
nearby. Louis ruled the outside world as Holy Emperor, while Roy
reigning behind the scenes as a demon lord. The luminesis, meanwhile, regulates
everything as a god.
This is the world they are pursuing. That's also why Luminus prefers policy
the government is petty, locking itself inside the Inner Cloister and never
revealing himself in public.
Roy, who served as his vice demon lord, was already more than strong enough to
sit with the other nine at the table. Just being born a vampire made him
equivalent to B, based on the rating. His muscle strength, endurance, reaction time,
and others are several times better than humans can muster,
and his race gave him many excellent skills, including Steel
Strength, Self-Regeneration, Shadow Motion, Paralysis, Charm, Coercion, Transform,
and others. There are some vampires in the world, but even among the so-called
high-level magic-born, they were above the crowd in ability
fight.
Louis and Roy were older nobles, both serving the leader
they're luminous since ancient times. Their strength is monumental, unnecessary
it was said again, and Hinata was fully aware of it. After fighting with
they were both once, he had no doubts. It only means one thing: Whoever is a bully
last night, they must have been very strong“...But that doesn't matter, does it?” Hinata whispers. “As long as Lady Luminus is safe.
Not that anyone needs to worry about him..”.
Even Hinata could not fully measure the depth of the demon lord Luminus. Him
beyond all imagination, the supreme being serves as the ideal destination
to be achieved and potential opponents in the future. It is impolite for Hinata to
bother worrying about it.
Roy, meanwhile, is worth as much as a pebble on the road. Not to offend
Louis, but it doesn't matter whether he was killed or not. He's weak, he's dead, and that's it
just. As far as Hinata was concerned, it was her own fault.
“Problems. We let Roy use his violence as a threat
to make people obey Luminism. With him dead, there's a possibility
people's trust in our beliefs is diminished. The evil dragon Veldora is still alive
once again, however, the Jura Forest still remained stable. ”
“You're right..”
Hinata can guess why. It was the Slime he had released through his fingers.
Here, he has no reason for that. It was his fault, and nothing
more aware of it than him. It was his choice to let
the bully last night left, but Slime's, Rimuru, he wants eradicated from the world
for eternity. He couldn't help but praise her.
I can hardly believe he managed to escape from that place. I know you
be careful, Rimuru, but that's not what I can imagine...
“...I can't talk about the dragon, but I imagine the forest is stable
because of that Slime, Rimuru, who broke away from me.”
“Mmm. I did some investigation myself, and it's been confirmed
that the forces of the Kingdom of Farmus have been annihilated. Calculate the return time from
veldora's resurrection, it must be Rimuru's work. Enough enemies for you, isn't it?”
“I guess the moment I saw it, wrapped up in the Holy Field, was an opportunity
best I have to beat him.”
“You did not give him wisdom, perhaps, after he claimed to be from
your kingdom?“Of course not. Lady Luminous's goal is not compatible with Slime's. I knew
where he came from, and leaving him on his own device would just be
destroying our plans. That's why I choose to ignore what
what he said and instead tried to destroy his city.”.
“So, angels will be on the move soon.”
“That's for sure. They are safe for now, but if they continue to develop
city with such speed, it will definitely move soon.”
“It would be very troublesome. We're not ready for them. I wanted to
ensuring that our victory in the next Temma War is
absolute.”
“I know. We need to tear the angel's limbs off, and
that is why we cannot speed up the time schedule,” Louis nodded.
Whenever the cities of the world developed past a certain level, the angels
start attacking them. Why, no one knows, but their actions
following a recognizable pattern. When that happened, countless numbers of people were not
sinful dead — and to fight them, Hinata has expanded her army
and find a way to drop them completely from the picture.
His preaching for Luminism is also a way to help people
working together, making their harmonious cooperation a force that can
to be invited to work together. He believed it was the best way to
following the will of Luminus, his god.
Rimuru's behavior starts blocking him — and now after he finds out Rimuru
is the cause of Shizue Izawa's death, she has personal problems with him.
There was no reason at all for him to reduce his leeway. Joint
himself is the monsters — intelligent, rational, and human understanding.
It was sad to have a little bit to involve them in this, but Luminus
call them his enemies, and his will is the law.
Victory in the Temma War was a top priority, and to get
that, Hinata would not hesitate to do what had to be done. He's cold, he's cold,
pragmatic, and especially rational.
“But maybe your failure will be good in the end.”“What do you mean?”
“Western nations will likely band together to confront the threat at
Jura Forest. With Roy gone, what better enemy to unite the people
humans to fight?”
“...you think so? I doubt it will go easy.”
But does he have a point? Perhaps, Hinata thought, that was a good thing. Forestlands
A stable Jura is what they want, and if they are trying to live
side by side with humans, it all gets better. But if Rimuru
actually committing a massacre against Farmus's forces, he is definitely an
threats they cannot ignore.
Still am…
“You know the Eastern merchant who brought me the information. We plan to
met last night too. If it wasn't on Lady Luminus' orders, I wouldn't have
be here now.”
“Oh? Pretty good time, then.”
“Almost too good, right? The merchants tried to use me. If
come to think of it, perhaps keeping Rimuru alive and present was the answer that
right, not to find excuses. ”
But protruding nails will be hammered. They may have survived the invasion of Farmus,
but the Storm Dragon that had risen would definitely attack the old Rimuru.
Plus, Rimuru calls herself a demon lord, apparently, an inviting one

“I'll imagine it. Until we're fully ready, I'd rather
using the land as a bulwark against the East, assuming Rimuru.
congratulations from Walpurgis.” Board
“Mrs Luminus will be back soon. We'll know by then.”
“To tell him about Roy's death is a sad thought.”“He must be in bad shape, I'm sure.”
“She's much better at him than I am.”.
“Mmm. I guess I'm not so good myself. My own brother is dead, but I
not feeling sad at all.”
Hinata shrugged her shoulders at Louis. They stopped talking, waiting
Luminal. Not long after, a reporter came.
“Retreat! Miss Luminus has returned!”
In an instant, the cathedral becomes a hotbed of — activity and soon, Hinata and Louis will
they had conversations they never expected.
Now they are in the Inner Cloister, a sacred mountain looming in the
the Sacred Empire Center of Lubelius. The headquarters of the Holy Church is at that foot; continue
go straight through the courtyard, and you'll find the Holy Temple, which houses
the cathedral connects to the mountain entrance. Outside and on the road
on footpath, the Inner Monastery is visible in front.
This was the most sacred and forbidden place in all of Lubelius, even more so than
the Holy Emperor's official room.
Relaxing there is demon lord Valentine — or rather, Luminus —
when he recounted the events of the previous night, it was clearly upset.
“So so everything. The annoying dragon only insisted on blocking me in
any time possible!”
Hinata's first reporting of Roy's death only added to her anger.
“Foolish boy,” muttered he replied, not betraying any emotions when he
entering the Inner Cloister, was just as graceful as ever. He looks pretty calm
when he described the Walpurgis Council, but when he reached the point where
Veldora revealed her true identity, her beautiful and beautiful face flushed red in anger. It was extremely powerful for his listeners as he took it all out
his emotions are hidden.
“Then look at Roy too! I can bring it back to life as long as I can see it,
but nooo..”.
“My brother is happy, Mrs Luminus. That's all you need to consider—“
“Shut! Sounds like I practically guided Roy to his death hand!”
“No, Princess. It's my brother Roy's fault for failing to comply
your Hope.”
“But..”.
If there is one factor involved, it is bad luck. Everyone in the monastery knows
it wasn't their fault.
“I'm sorry,” said Hinata. “I let the bully go, and Roy.”.
“Alright,” replied Luminus, his face stiffened as he looked at her and Louis.
“You just followed my orders. I'm the one who deserves the blame. But we
I don't have time to grieve for him now. The dragon was revived, though,
and we have the new demon lord Rimuru. That is the truth that cannot be
it's denied, and we have to decide how to handle it. ”
“Yes, my lady.”
“I understand.”
Hinata and Louis nodded. This question will determine the entire direction
The Holy Empire will leave in the future.
“I want to beat Veldora for you,” Hinata offers.
“Hinata,” Luminous coldly replied, “you have grown stronger, yes, far
stronger than when you fought with me. You've been through Seven days
and is on his way to level with me. But even if
you can defeat demon lord Rimuru, you will never defeat
Veldora.”“He's right, Hinata. How frightening the presence of the dragon was. True disaster.” Louis, lis,
who was there to rampage the dragon earlier, agreed with Luminus. “Dia
that strong? But didn't the Hero seal it?”
If humans did it once before, Hinata reasoned, it could always
happened again. Luminous and Louis immediately brushed it off.
“Listen, Hinata. The dragon was a form of natural energy. Maybe you could
using magic to quell a raging storm, yes, but the dragon
have his own free will. It cannot be cut with a sword or
influenced by magic. When he flew in anger, the shockwave would
destroying the earth, is much more than our little magic. ”
That thought seemed to really disappoint Luminus. Louis nodded
agreeing, his face was pale as if he had just recalled a bad memory.
“It was really a nightmare,” he said. “Ah, such a beautiful Nightrose Castle,
turned into an unrecognizable pile of ash.”.
“Don't remind me of that, Louis. The castle was the pinnacle of knowledge
and vampire science, and now it's only in our memories. It's no use
we want what we cannot have. ”
“Quite correct.”
The exchange taught Hinata how dangerous this Veldora was. But. if that.
happening, he secretly swore to himself, I will kill him.
Then he realized something else. The whole reason the Inner Monastery is in
this sacred mountain peak. That was to prepare for Veldora's potential attack, though,
wasn't he? So he could continue to observe the sky and stop it before he arrived.
Nightgarden, the main city in the Holy Empire, was also located underground because
the reason was also — to prevent the invasion of dragons, to keep the casualties to a minimum
maybe in a fight. That was how Luminous was wary of the Dragon
This storm.
“Hinata, please restrain yourself. I don't want to lose you either.”
However if Luminus were to convey it powerfully, he had no choice but to
to nod back.Now, the mishandling of the meeting with Rimuru was clinging on
his throat was like a sewing needle. Give him the label of monsters and ignore
his attempt to talk was a mistake. Not in what
taught by his faith, or rather he wants to think, but still, he wants to think,
his actions had led directly to the current situation. If that is what is desired by
the merchants of the East, then Hinata had fallen on his bait, line, and ballast.
It's not very pleasant. Give me that information when they know exactly
how I'll react. Or maybe they have their own informant?
It was hard for him to believe, but Hinata could imagine someone in the Church
working with those merchants. They probably know all about preparation
they are for the angels now — and maybe that's why they are
point him towards Rimuru, to take him out for them. One
earth rats in the Church should be something to consider — but for
now, such thoughts should be allowed to burn. There's another problem
must face.
“Very good. But. what are we going to do about Rimuru now, as.
demon lord?”
“We have no choice but to let it. Fortunately, the church has not
he declared him a divine enemy. ”
“No but..”
“Is there a problem?”
“...There. I'm afraid cities and highways that monsters are building could cause
angels are attacking faster. ”
“Ah yes, there it is. Having those little insects roam around is enough
annoying, despite making demon lord Rimuru and Storm Dragon Veldora
our enemies will be much worse. But if they attract more attention
for us, they'll be the primary target of the angels, I guess. Anyways, though,
there's not much point in thinking about it now. ”
To Luminus, the angels were completely worthless. Hinata, understand that, please,
voicing his agreement
