Chapter 173 (1/2)

173 RAGE

As soon as Rimuru had left, shi+on and Diablo immediately went into action

Noas not the tied Rimuru for the first time

They proency counterht transmission

For those that were still in the process of evolution, the e to “complete the process as quickly as possible” was left, but the wills of all involved were already in union

For the glory of Rimuru-sama!

They would finish their evolutions at top speed

They reconstructed their bodies at tremendous speeds, and attained neer……

And with the use of 『Food Chain』, they becath for Rimuru

They evolved, while resonating with Rier

But this wasn’t your typical evolution or ascension, the resonance caused the developressive and combat oriented abilities

More potent, more efficient

And so, preparations began for the orders that would arrive soon, if any of them were ever called upon by Rimuru

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

In ht had first started

Wisdouring out the coordinates

I had teleported here without any hesitation, but I was presently at a state of anger uniinable from my usual self

It could even be the first tie

That tiret, but then the prospects of hope had calmed my state of mind

Thanks to that, I er, and could work skillfully

But this time was not the same

Reining losing Veldora had thrown any reason out the

Chance of success? Who gives a fuck

I’ll crush the enemy

Nothingless

Looking at the eneerous, but I shut her up and ordered 「Do so!」

《Solution Understood Coy》

I think I heard so like that, but at the moment, I didn’t care at all

I just needed to rescue Veldora, and kill those fuckfaces

In ons”, and appeared in front of the enemy

Now, I only needed to avenge

Demon Lord Rimuru had appeared

Having lost his calm, his mind focused only on attack

Seeing him,

「Oh ho? So you ca your oas stolen?

Fool With the your source of power, your one, even for a Demon Lord, you’re now just a simple monster

Co, it seeence

Make haste, and rid me of this fool!」

Emperor Rudra uninterestedly ridiculed him, but his words did not reach Rimuru

For Riets for extermination

The tactical conditions for victory

In this situation, they were:

1 Recover Veldora

2 Eliminate the threat

3 Massacre every one of the Imperials

That was all

For him, whose mind rapped in bloodlust, there was no need for warnings

All self-preservation conditions were deemed unnecessary

Currently, only success mattered

Recovering Veldora was the absolute condition, and took the highest priority

There were very feere cautious of Rimuru’s sudden appearance

They were, Velgrynd, first lieutenant Kondo, and Damrada, only these 3

Currently, with the capture of Veldora, the Ee

The Emperor’s historic battle with Guy would come to an end, they were only one step away

Therefore, a single De in comparison to the threat fro about people other than the 3)

After all, “True Dragons” were norest in the world, and on a completely different level from a mere Demon Lord

A Demon Lord who had only coon”, and in addition, the fact that they now controlled 2 of those “True Dragons” naturally lead to the assuer

A them, Damrada made a tense face

Donned in his exclusive Legendary armour, his face was covered with a hel his expression

But still, he suspected if anyone noticed his anxiety

10 of Ee

The strongest force of the Eathered there

With defensive barriers at maximum output, their position could be considered the safest

As a result, The Royal Knights didn’t feel any tension

However, Daer

It wasn’t based on logic

This Deered a bizarre feeling

Him, and also Yuuki

They had an aura (TN: haki) akin to charisma that fascinated Damrada

Wasn’t there a better way to live, other than a life in sworn fealty to the E

Thus, from Damrada’s perspective, Rimuru was not an enemy to be underestihts couldn’t be read by others

That Ri was bound to happen

Dailant, and focused on the E did happen

First Lieutenant Kondo witnessed Demon Lord Rimuru for the first time

And had the thought, that he had rave mistake

That it was a mistake to prioritize the capture of Veldora

He understood that Deence That hy he was not a target for capture, and was left for later

The plan was to use reconnaissance to gather ways to trap him

But then, reports caerynd

This was a great stroke of luck, Eht so, and ordered an iically speaking, there was no doubt this was a good opportunity, and he didn’t have a clear reason to oppose those orders

It was only to the level of: since the inforue, wasn’t it premature to act now?

But, the clarity of the inforence on the part of Reconnaissance, and wasn’t reason enough to let go of this chance

After all, Kondo’s bad feeling was hardly a reason to stop the sortie

And now

When Kondo had used his power, ―― Not the one granted by the Emperor, but one he had attained on his own ―― Ultimate Skill 『Sandalphon the Executioner』to seal Veldora’s movements, his premonition worsened

He shot Veldora with Rehest potency, but felt like Necrosis’ effects were nullified in the middle

He also felt that his eyes had on Veldora at that moment

―― Not only me, but to lay your hands on iven, human!!――

He seemed to hear a disembodied voice say

Necrosis’ curse, which caused the destruction of the target’s Magic Circuits, was also effective against Spirit Forms

Even the strongest beings, the “True Dragons” couldn’t escape its effects

To resist it in the first place was to prevent being hit, but that wasn’t possible for Veldora as caught in a complete surprise attack

It was at a single gap between the tirynd’s

With perfect ti the E the Storon’s movements

But still……

At the very end, Veldora had ed to resist Necrosis

Kondo recognized Veldora’s iest sense of uneasiness

Killing a “True Dragon” was difficult even with multiple shots of Necrosis

Kondo had fired radually slow him down, and stop his on” wouldn’t die

But, even though Veldora should have known that, ignoring the seal binding his body, he focussed on resisting the destruction of Magic Circuits

No…… perhaps he was resisting Necrosis’ curse to protect soic Circuits?

Veldora’s dise

Yes, Veldora had put the ut the safety of his sworn friend, Demon Lord Rimuru
