Chapter 183 (1/2)
183 ESTABLIshi+NG THE CONTRACT
Velgrynd and I faced each other, and unleashed our attacks looking to end this battle
Our attacks clashed, and I got sent flying while a part of Velgrynd got sliced up
The battle was turning into a stalemate of sorts
But, results are starting to show
At a glance, it looked like a furious exchange between us, but I had a fair a room
Although I got bloay by the clashes, I diverted e
analysis of Velgrynd’s abilities was co at the compatibility between us, it was clear that she’s not a threat to me
It’s my win
I am certain of it
At this point, I received a telepathic e from Diablo
(Kufufufufu It looks like a “Rat” has crawled its way into our fight
It has been cornered onto the flagshi+p, what are your intentions sire?)
Fro rid of it was easy
As for the results for the various battles, soh battles, but no fatalities so far
The “Rat” was sneaking around a the battle between Carrera and the guy in uniform from the shadows
He didn’t look like he was going to assist his “allies”, what a shady fellow
Also, it seems like he ate one of his dead “comrades”, looks like he had an ability of the “consumption” type
So, was his aim the man in uniform?
Up til this point, onspace ithin a field that interrupted teleportation
I didn’t want any unwanted guests, nor did I want anyone escaping
If the “Rat” wanted to escape, his only option would be to move outside of the field that was set up
To break through a hole in the field, and get an Airshi+p out of the field Then teleporting away from there
Therefore……… his destination must be safe spot, which also means that’s where his allies would be
Should I round up all of theet rid of the “Rat” now?
Someone who moves around stealthily huh
Yuuki may be involved
If I got rid of the “Rat”, the link to whoever is behind the scenes would be cut off
If the Emperor is eliminated, the Empire will fall into chaos Which also e of the situation and grow larger
In any case, I shall set a trap for the “Rat”
It would be best if it takes the bait (Eet to reel them all in
Although I have no way to confirood idea to cut the threat at it’s roots
(Let the “Rat” scurry for now It’s probably trying to escape via teleportation, so I want to know it’s destination
After we cos, we eli out who is behind this!)
(Understood!)
To get all who are involved, including the “Rat”, in one fell swoop
I gave the orders to Diablo, with such thoughts
Even as I was cooing on
With support from Wisdom Lord Raphael, communication was easily possible as I still had lots of breathing room, even I was impressed at the current situation
All of Velgrynd’s attacks, were nullified with the Absolute Defense of Covenant King Uriel
In co the “Veldora Sword”, looked like they were doing dae body
The situation looked favourable for me, and seemed it would be difficult to overturn
Velgrynd reverted froon, back to her human form
As expected, it looked like it was hard to fully defend with that large body If the ai to her huood choice
But, that nificantly
Although there was no change in ability, the ay that was at her disposal was now limited
But well…… To me, since all attacks are blocked anyway, there’s no doubt that she would be more of a pain to deal with in her human form
As expected of Veldora’s elder sister, she was a beauty with azure blue hair, having difficulty pointing my sword at that was also one of the reasons……
Even so, that fella Raphael, wanted to take Covenant King Uriel away from me in this situation
It’s like tellingBeelzebuth would be the only re option
Velgrynd, after grazing past a few of my “Veldora Sword” attacks, looked exhausted
If I keep up these attacks, it would result in my victory, but……
「Da-daons”……
To not only take away et in the way of Rudra and my wishes!!」
Velgrynd spewed another Cardinal Acceleration
Although it looked like her output has decreased, with the increased focus she was putting into the attack, it was now a pinpoint attack; it could be said to be coon form
It looked set anyway
――but, this attack has already been analyzed, it won’t work on me any more
「Wasn’t it you guys who took the initiative!?
You pit Veldora against me in the first place!」
「Shut up! My younger brother, hasn’t fallen that low to be consumed by the likes of you!
Although he was an unreliable boy, to think he would be defeated by a puny Demon Lord……
And ending up absorbed by that Demon Lord, and used to corner me like this……」
It feels like she’s really taking it out on me
Drowned in anger, Blasts were forcefully released at me
Too bad, those don’t work against me
Butwith this sword she“erased”, but well, she is Veldora’s sister……
(Hey, Veldora Can’t you talk to her and get her to calm down?)
(!? Don’t ask soot to breathe for a moment
It’s impossible for ry for me!!
If she found out I was cooperating with you, and am totally alive and all……)
Right
I finally realised, Veldora can’t be relied on, like at all
But, uy…… He’s so unreliable at critical times
This situation, happened because he ran away, and didn’t want to meet his other elder sister……
Huh? Then why a all this jack?
I was slowly getting annoyed at so else
(But, we can’t just “erase” her, right?)
(……u, Hmm That would be bad, yea
That’s it! Let’s change the setting to one which I was forcefully consumed by you
Just devour my sister too!
Then, get her into a position similar to mine
If it’s the current “you”, it’s definitely possible, even Wisdorees!)
……what is this fella saying?
This guy, just because he doesn’t want to get scolded, he’s the spoiled type who puts the blame on his buddy!
And frouy is me isn’t it!
Also, the plan to only have Gluttony King Beelzebuth remain supports this notion
Raphael and Veldora are in cahoots! Was, what I have realised
But, well
Towards his elder sister as so aggravated at his “death”, just appearing like nothing happened is not a good idea, even I could understand that much
Even though I understood, it definitely feels like all the troublesome stuff was dumped onto me
Also…… If Veldora, who ets found out and gets chewed out for it, he’s not going to put the blaht?
Change the setting toforcefully consu to push all the blame onto me
But wait a sec? A similar position……
Against Veldora, there wasn’t really anything I can “force” him to do
I get his consent, then he works accordingly More like he has a lot of freedom to do whatever he wants, that Veldora
Basically, once he is “released”, there isn’tI can force Veldora to do
If he wanted to take actions disadvantageous to me, I could just cut the Link; even if Veldora declines, it’s not like he gets “erased” if the Link is cut
If soets destroyed, whether he decides to return to his “real body” which is inside me or not, there’s no “real” loss (TN:people die when they are killed Wait, huh?)
To put it si force whatsoever
A position similar to Veldora’s
Sirynd, then “release” her
That alsowould be proven, and I don’t get blamed at all
A sibling-squabble? What’s that, is it tasty?
That’s not so within my “jurisdiction”
I decided to devour Velgrynd, and put her in the same position as Veldora
But, it’s botherso “released”
Since I can’t force Velgrynd, is it even possible to do so like this?
《Solution There are no probleon” now, there is room to spare
Also, it is possible to set conditions for “release”
Regarding that, negotiation with individual: “Scorch Dragon” Velgrynd is required》
Hmm?
So I have to devour first
Then, set conditions when turning her into another “ability”?
In the worst case, if Velgrynd declines, I could just isolate her insideher into an “ability”
I could also just let her out after the whole fiasco is over, it’s not like she “needs” to become another part of my abilities
After on”, I can feel my stats have definitely increased, there should be no problerynd or two inside me
The objective was decided
Now to get to work
「Whatever the case, gotta get rid of the threats! I’ain
Velgrynd, time for you to repent a little!!」
「Screw you, like hell I’ht!」
The fierce battle with Velgrynd continued
Holy crap she’s fast It’s gonna be a real pain to capture her
She’s supposed to have less power in her hu any easier
Even then, using Covenant King Uriel, I cut her movements off with『Insulated Prison』
Through that, I ed to finally capture her
