Chapter 161 (1/2)

(This, this place is?)

Calgurio suddenly couldn’t recall what he had been do up till now

A silver-haired shoujo who looked around 10 years, angelic s

Looking around, his fallen coirl’s hand raised over theht imbuded into them

After a while, that person――as Krishna after all――opened his eyes, and their gaze met

However, he seemed as confused as he hen he had just awakened, and couldn’t comprehend the situation

The silver haired girl didn’t notice Calgurio and Krishna waking up, and continued on repeatedly with her work

部屋に集められていた100名程に対し同じ作業を終えた時、ようやく満足そうに頷くと此方を向いた。

When she had completed her work on about 100 individuals in the roourio

“Yo, you’re awake no do you feel? Can you recall your name?”

The girl spoke with a casual tone

However, no discomfort was felt

The shoujo’s lovely appearance was one reason, the other being the girl’s presence that quenched any rebellious thought against her

The perplexed Calgurio looked at his comrades,

「あれ？　失敗したか？　術式は完璧だったハズなんだけどな……」

“Huh? Was it a failure? I was certain the ritual was a perfect success……”

The shoujo had a troubled expression on her face

Apparently, they were subjected to some sort of ritual, but their bodies didn’t feel abnormal

If he th

After confir this, suddenly, he recalled they had invaded tempest and are currently at war

“Whe, where’s the demon? What happened to that red haired demon? Have we survived?”

Shouted Calgurio

With this stateained their memories, and realized the abnormality of the current situation

Certainly, Calgurio and co should have been slain by the Demon Diablo

Calgurio remembered how all his attacks were in vain, and the demon Diablo with his hands like a sword, pierced and crushed his heart

That hy Calgurio his situation of being alive

“Oh, did you remember? Do you remember your name?”

While nodding in reply,

“My naurio

Corps captain of the Empire Armored Corps, I was entrusted as the supreme command of this operation

Since the contents of said operation is classified, I can’t explain about it here, please forgive me

Besides that, are you the one who saved us?”

He asked going with the flow

To be able to save thereat power

That deth of the lord of demons

TN note: 悪魔の王 translates into King of Demons, but since 魔王

その悪魔を前にして自分達を救出可能となると、風の噂に聞く”勇者”しか心当たりが無い。

To be able to save them from such a situations, it could only be the rumored “hero” and no one else

帝国近衛のNo1～10ならば可能かも知れないが、一人で出来るかと問われれば疑問が残る。

It uard No1~10, but whether they could do it alone was questionable

Besides, if it was a royal guard he would have recognized her, and Calgurio had no reason to keep it as a secret

So to be someone unheard of

“Hm? Operation or whatever, we’re the ones who annihilated your army you know?

Since it looks like you ive you an explanation, you’re all already dead

Or rather, didn’t every soldier in the army died?

Maybe some of you may have survived, but lets talk about that later

But since it looks like you perfectly retained your memory, the ritual was a success

Now, lets start again

Nice to meet you, My name is Rimuru, Demon Lord Rimuru

I’ards to you lot!

Now then, I’ll tell you this again, but I’m the one who resurrected you all

As for further details, we’ll explain to you bit by bit later”

Calgurio who couldn’t coawked

The words reached his brain, their urio widened his eyes to their limits, and stared at the shoujo before him

This shoujo is Rimuru

Soht of as a obstacle, the enemy they must eliminate

A ram, Rimuru herself

This Shoujo is!?

Resurrected, was it? Who? We were?!

Shock and turmoil, then fear filled his heart

Calgurio wasn’t the only one; everyone as revived had the exact same reaction

It would appear some time is needed until the chaos settles down

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Casting a side-glance at the confused Calgurio and co, I had exited the test

天幕の中の100名は、ディアブロが殺した者達で、この軍団の総司令官及び参謀達だった。

The 100 individuals, those slain by Diablo, are the corp’s supreme commander and his advisors

So to speak, the ones with the highest authority in this invasion

I had methodically tried out a resurrection method, and the effects were perfect

Of course, this is in order for them to take responsibility

And so, there’s a heavy barrier lockdown around the tent, and it is under Souei’s surveillance

It’s impossible to escape

Well, even if I called it a resurrection, it is only a temporary one

There is no reason for me to return the souls I have taken

They were the one who attacked us, so their death was the what they sown

However, for various reasons I’ve decided to perform the resurrection ritual

This ritual, only grants someone a temporary life

After the incident of shi+on’s death, Wisdo the soul

クレイマンから奪った”聖霊の宝玉”は、原材料は人間の魂から出来ていた。

The raw materials of the “Soul Jewel” taken from Clayman are human souls

エネルギー量に換算し、人間1万人分の魂に相当する。

In tery, it’s equivalent to 10,000 human souls

However, this strength carries with it a tith to provide ath for an instant

事実、智慧之王の解析では、人間100名分程の魂を融合し、瞬間出力を高める事が出来るようにしただけの宝珠だったのだ。

In fact, according to Wisdo Raphael’s analysys, 100 human souls could be fused to th for an instant

Coreat an item

It’s probably si would not fare well in the future, so I simply decomposed it into souls

And since ould simply revert the process, the souls were used in research

Not limited to humans, all souls have quality and quantity

Quality aside, the souls of plants and aniy

Compared with that, a huy

It was confiry

And to actually utilize the energy of the souls? This was referred to as, soul force

The inforin of its powers

Then, does the energy directly engrave the information onto the soul, that’s not it

First, there’s the ego, wrapped around in the core

This, is where all the inforraved on

And so in conclusion the crystalized energy encases the core and becomes the soul

The Possession Jeas developed in order to project the core

TN Note: read chapter 119, cheers to Lion san for remember what it’s called

The core has no energy However the ego does

Without the soul force skills couldn’t be activated, but it’s possible for the ego to operate

And the possession jewel is used to substitute the soul’s energy with Magical essence

However, it’s undeniable there would be liy Since in the end it’s sieon thus there are no problems

In the end what I wanted to say is, even if the skills are engraved onto the core, if there’s no soul force it couldn’t be used, that’s about it

This tiurio

The soul was reaped, the core taken out, and moved into the jewel

宝珠を創るのは簡単だが、エネルギーには各人から抜き取った”魂の力”の百分の一以下の少量を流用している。

Making the jeas siy

In actuality, I don’t really lose anything, just a bit of labor cost

regenerating the flesh of the dead withthe jewel into them

And finally transferring the core

It sounds si calculation abilities this task couldn’t possibly be undertaken

Specifying an individual alone is already a difficult task, but to also enetic code to the soul data, and identify that individual instantly, it was so well done I should call Raphael -sensei instead

With thisthe jewel the resurrection would be a success

However, that doesn’t mean this method is flawless

Firstly, the individual is weakened greatly

Naturally, it’s because I’ve snatched the entirety of their soul force

It would be impossible to use skills fore would also be affected

However, since any physical training results or experience is still retained, so as long as they aren’t dependent on their skills it would not be a problem

Then, the second problem

So about

If their corpse isn’t around anymore, they couldn’t be resurrected

It’s to be expected

I’m not an omnipotent God

Without the physical record, it it’s i without anything to base on

There are also cases of the put into dolls, but is it worth the cost?

To begin with, I don’t have a sufficient aation to do so, nor do I see any benefits in doing so

Unfortunately, they can only blaive up

Even if only a portion of their flesh reic――The reason resurrection ic couldn’t be used is because their soul couldn’t be reproduced――Even so, there are those whose didn’t have any remains at all

ウルティマの”破滅の炎”で完全焼失した者や、テスタロッサの”死の祝福”により遺伝情報を完全破壊された者達だ。

There are those ere perfectly coenetic code was completely destroyed by Testarossa’s “Death strike”

And then, there are those whose soul simply accepted death due to fear and despair

Against these, I who haveabout

結局、蘇生不可能だった者達は、全員で20数万名余にも上った。

In the end, those who cannot be resurrected, number over 200,000

94万名の内、20万名が死亡。

Of the 940,000 individuals, 200,000 died

However, they were suppose to be completely annihilated, so when you compare the numbers you could say they were luck to have so few deaths

In truth, I thought that Testa had truly went overboard, but I haven’t gave any instructions to avoid da their flesh

The reason is a simple one

If they were overly focused on this and end up getting injured for that, then it would be less

Totheer, I would choose to protect my retainers without hesitation

Above all, to do so enemy soldiers, I don’t want to be a virtuous saint with a field of flowers for brains

TN Note: probably onists in crappy animus

And so, even though there are some that couldn’t be resurrected, that’s besides the point

無いのだが……俺が平和な国である日本での感性のままだからか、亡くなった方に対しては何とも言えない気持ちになった。

That’s probably not it but……Since I still retained the sensitiveness of someone in a peaceful country like japan, I held an unspeakable feeling in regards to someone’s death

I si yet

I think praying to the souls of the deceased would be simple hypocrisy

Even so, Froive anyone who dares invade my territory, and have them experience complete fear

After perforurio and co, the effects are confirmed

Confir was planned

迷宮入り口周辺の開けた場所に、凡そ70万名もの遺体が並べられていた。

In an open area around the vicinity of the dungeon are about 700,000 corpse laid side by side

After the war had ended, Gerudo had recovered them

The victims of the first battle, has also been transferred and recovered
