Chapter 130 (1/2)

Demon Lord’s Gambit Arc

130 A suddent Invitation

The operation to subjugate Yuuki ended in a failure

But taking advantage of e could, we reestablished the Freedom association in our favor

Thanks to our efforts in re Yuuki and his observers, the transition was smooth

In the end, a single templar was left in each branch, and thus a new control system was created with the Western Saint’s Church at the head

And the Church beginning changing its language and structure to more of a “spirit worshi+p”

Then there’s the Free Arbitration Committee

A new organization Freedom association and the Western Saints created

Unlike the Council–the International Council, I ates, the Committee–Free Arbitration Couild masters

Once it was established it becarounds

Sakaguchi Hinata was appointed as the first Committee Chair

And since the Church and Templars refused to run for this office, her appoint

Further to the information the templars collected, there were no visible dissenters at the moment at the branchesI mean, we demon lords–Ramiris and I in particular–tend to operate behind the scenes, but there’s a surprising lack of opposition even e act openly

Thus, after establishi+ng this organization, ere able to join the countries surrounding Jura forest with two unions–the Council and the Committee

You need strong bonds between nations in a large union

That was the state of the world a ation attempt

Of course, while everyone was busy establishi+ng these new organization I was not just playing around

Three days after the failed subjugation attempt he appeared

Ripping through Ingracia Kingdom’s barrier, clad in silver armor, he appeared,

Silver Knight Alrose

Introducing himself as a servant of the Platinum Devil Leon Cromwell, he handed me a letter

It was an invitation

As he had promised, he invited me over

But… why now?

「Mythe “Hero” with you, Rimuru-sama」

After Alrose said so, I got an idea of as in store

The letter came after the hero was fully awakened–surely that was the cause

Perhaps Leon knows so about ChloeIt see he knows that we do not

I decided to accept the invitationIn any case, I’ve yet to complain on shi+zu-san’s behalf

Though it all depends on his intentions from now on

「AlrightI’ the invitation」

「Your kind words are wasted upon usMy master shall be most pleasedPlease, this way」

Alrose had a helmet on the whole ti, but he certainly sounded happy about it; oh, and he teleported away

Instant teleportation can be used bypredeter deal

By the way, those who can teleport to any place (even those they haven’t visited) are overwhel my subordinates only Diablo can do it… probablyIt’s not a skill you can use unless you’ve got a spiritual body

The way it works is: Shadow Step –> Spatial Transfer –> Teleport

You could also ic circles, but the previous three are skills, not ic

I have been using skills and eably so I didn’t even notice, but seems that there is a differenceI ht

Spatial transfer requires you to open a door and step into it to travelIt’s not soic, it instantaneously creates and executes afor instant travelIt can be used to avoid enemy attacks and such, so those who can use teleport are rather strong

But since it’s usually only li point and a previously visited location, this skill by no means decides the opponent’s skill

By the way, even the lowest spatial uard down

The second Silver Knight Alrose disappeared a ic circle appeared where he stood In other words, that’s what I needed to use to get there

Magic knight, spatial ic master, and I bet he’s pretty damn skilled with his teleport abilities

daood subordinates

I guess I should go and bestow teleporting on Benimaru, shi+on, and the rest

As I am now I feel I could bestow skills without a problem, and it may increase our war potential

So I thought while as Alrose disappeared

As a side note, Hinata can also teleportBut, since it uses so y, she can’t at the moment

But considering her ability to do so chantlessly: I can finally appreciate her actual strength

Although she can no longer use her『Matheician

She did becoh that’s a secret for now

And thus I came

The land Leon rules is ly wide, and has towns divided into districts

Forest, Field, Lake, River, and Mountain districts

Every sector is protected via a ic circle

An artificially created land of nature and tranquility–a ic city

That is the land of Demon Lord Leon Cromwell–El Dorado

「Yo… this is kind of a」

I muttered

「Hahaha, you are too kindMy master will be pleased to hear such praise」

Alrose replied happily as he guided us

Right now, his helmet is off and beautiful silver hair falls on his back

Though he looks like a girl, it’s a guyHe is the Captain of the Magic Knights

So it’s no small wonder Leon trusts him so much

But, this country truly is build wonderfullyThe streets gliold

Every building was placed with care, and a spiral castle reaches into the heavens

If you looked froic circle is created using the city itselfIn other words, other than those who can look from above, the circle is invisible

The circle is supplied with energy from the citizens themselvesSuch careful construction tickles my pride a bit

No question about it: Teic into the land itself

And that bothers me a bit now

「Ri?」

shi+on walking behind me asked

Even though she should have an overhead view, she has not noticedJust sho elaborate this construction is

「This city creates a single giant ic circle

The city is blessed with “Counter Magic” and “Enemy Radar” as a result
