Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN) Chapter 134

Leon vs Yuuki –Part Two-

The battle between Leon and Yuuki began.

The air flickered with light, and the ground was blown away by the shock.

Even Chloe who hadn’t moved was hit by the aftermath of the shock. Kagali who hid behind Chloe, ducked her head and opened her eyes wide.

「Time,time out! What in the world is happening here!?」

It was a high-speed battle, too quick for Kagali to perceive, she could only see traces of it.

Which side has the advantage? The result is unknown.

「At a glance, the situation seems even. However…..」

「――however？」

「I see that Leon Onii-chan’s still holds the advantage and has lead the situation as he desired.」

I’m not very good at analyzing,

Chloe spoke while thinking that, as they watched the fight.

「Haa? That’s a bit vague. Then, which side will win?」

Chloe remained silent for a while,

「If the conditions remain just as they are now, Leon Onii-chan will win」

She declared.

「Hmm. Whatever. Although I will declare something too, Yuuki-sama will not be defeated. Definitely.」

Kagali forcefully made an assertion.

Chloe glanced at Kagali and neither denied nor confirmed her assertion.

The Black Knight Claude said nothing and put down his held up hand. Claude, who had been seriously injured by Leon’s blow, was now fully healed. He was amazed that even the black armor was completely restored.

Gently putting her finger over the wide-eyed Claude’s lip, Chloe slightly shook her head. With just that she drove Claude out of her mind and Chloe returned her focus to Leon and Yuuki’s fight.

The Black Knight Claude stood up beside Chloe without saying anything.

「Hey, can you see the fight between those two?」

Kagali asked Claude who had stood up.

However, Claude only answered with a nod instead of words.

「Tch. You seemed to be monstrous enough to be capable of following such a fight with your eyes.

Well, it’s ok. After all, it will be a victory for Yuuki-sama, you should ascertain the victory of your new master as well. 」

After saying that much, Kagali sat down on a convenient rock with an uninterested expression.

Of course, she sat in a spot where Chloe could still act as a barrier and protect her.

Their level of combat was far above what she could perceive, and Kagali didn’t even have the slightest bit of experience necessary to comprehend the fight anyway. What’s more, this girl fully believed in Yuuki’s victory, so she didn’t have any interest in watching the battle.

Claude, unlike Kagali, was still bewildered by his current situation.

However, after being admonished by Chloe, he didn’t dare foolishly reveal his current state. Actually, his consciousness, thanks to Chloe, had returned to the him still pledging his allegiance to Leon.

Chloe’s ability was not to recovery. The true nature of it was rewinding time.

She rewound time to make it so that the situation where Yuuki did the Overwrite never happened. Without changing the surroundings’ time, it was possible to use the ability to affect only limited number of people.

This ability was the ultimate power. It is not limited to erasing damage, but even abnormal status――in other words, fatigue or even death―― will become nonexistent.

However, it’s unfortunate that the Red’s revival was impossible. Because Yuuki used his depriving ability, there was no way to interfere.

Although it was an absolute power, it was not almighty.

Chloe knew that well. Besides, she had just acquired the ability and could not wield it fully.

Her wish to revive the Red Knight was difficult to fulfill.

There was no one that would condemn her, however she looked at the Red Knight with a sad expression.

There was nothing that she could do, since she couldn’t move without permission.

While letting out a sigh, Chloe focused on the fight.

Leon and Yuuki. The fight between those two had just begun.

However, as Chloe’s eyes focused, she saw clearly that the state of the fight had changed greatly.

Yuuki felt a deep regret for his erroneous impression.

He had underestimated his opponent.

Leon Cromwell, a newcomer Demon Lord.

A former Human, the Demon Lord who defeated Kagali=Kazaream.

Because Kagali was too weak, it could be said that he had estimated Leon’s power as being low.

Fortunately, thanks to the fact that an Ultimate Skill had awakened in him, he couldcontinue fighting. He was certain that if he hadn’t acquired the skill he would have already been defeated.

(Or rather, I didn’t think that he was this strong)

He kept thinking as warded off the blow from the light that was unleashed towards him.

He could feel that his energy was reduced by a large amount when warding attacks. If this situation continued, his defeat was merely a matter of time.

Yuuki’s ability specialized in stealing things. Its main use was to take the enemy’s energy. With this ability, he could recover his power while he attacked, so normally this ability could be called omnipotent in attack and defense.

That’s the case when the opponent is not Leon.

The attribute of Leon’s ability is Light=Purification. This attribute specialized in purifying demons, in other words, it’s an ability fitting for a Hero.

Because this person was a Demon Lord, Yuuki couldn’t help but feel that the ironic situation was a great big joke.

Though there was no use in complaining, Yuuki’s acquired ability was part of the demon series, meaning it had a demonic attribute. Every time he attacked, he received purification, meaning he received damage.

Much of the energy that he’d stolen had been purified. Furthermore, he couldn’t evade the opponent’s attack and he can’t help but to notice the large amount of damage he received with each encounter.

(This isn’t good, right? I will lose if this situation continues.)

He thought about his next plan optimistically.

In the worst case scenario, he could involve Chloe. However, he wished to avoid that. It would become difficult to lead the world to destruction if he did that.

The reason was simple. It would become impossible for him to defeat the strongest entities in this world known as Guy Crimson and Milim Nava.

And Rimuru as well.

Yuuki’s intuition told him that the Slime he met was an abnormality. Its growth speed was abnormal, and his gaze was impenetrable. That gaze felt uncomfortable, so he had judged that it was impossible to ignore Rimuru.

(—I never thought that Rimuru-san could see through my true nature…Still, I get the feeling it will be dangerous if I don’t get rid of that person quickly.)

For such a thing, it was preferable to use Chloe.

Two strong people and one dangerous person.

Yuuki had judged Milim was someone that could easily be deceived. Therefore the real problem was Guy and Rimuru.

Yuuki felt uneasy leaving Guy as Chloe’s only opponent. Therefore he was going to get rid of Rimuru.

After that, he would make Chloe fight Guy, it was a plan to get rid of the two of them at the same time.

It seemed it would be difficult to defeat Rimuru later if he used Chloe now.

Feeling such a premonition, Yuuki didn’t give Chloe an order.

Well then, what did he need to do right now?

The best he could do in the contract he made with Chloe was for her not to disrupt Yuuki’s decree. However it wasn’t a problem for petty orders. Chloe probably was a good natured person, so if he requested it of her, she might listen.

But withdrawing from here would still be impossible even if she protected Yuuki and the rest.

(If it had been Rimuru and Ruminas that had come over, it would have gone just as planned…)

Yuuki let out a sigh and decided to discard his hesitation and use his trump card.

He regretted that he had misunderstood Leon’s strength, and after he escaped he needed to reflect on this. He needed to make a decision soon, since his eminent defeat wouldn’t be a joke.

「Haha, Leon. I’m sorry. I underestimated you too much.

Therefore, I’ve decide to use my trump card!」

「Fu, do as you like. It will be useless.」

「After putting up such a bluff, please don’t say something cowardly okay?」

Yuuki activated the combined ability of『Summoner』and his Ultimate Skill『Avaricious King Mammon』, and a very large magic circle began to appear on the ground. Within the circle were numerous corpses composed of Yuuki’s subordinates and the Red Knight. Their bodies began to expand and became lumps of flesh. Then the wriggling, wicked thing that crawled out of Yuuki’s magic circle mixed with the lumps of flesh…

It let out a roar in fury.

In the past, the originator of the dragon race, “Star King Dragon Veldanava,” had given his daughter a dragon as guardian (pet).

The dragon possessing great power had fallen into a trap and was killed by a certain kingdom.

When the girl, it’s master, evolved, its body was changed into a chaos dragon, full of fiendish power.

Unfortunately, it lacked a soul, making it transcend beyond the confines of good and evil into an incarnation of destruction.

It was said that the girl, grieving over the sad twist of fate, sealed the dragon where nobody would find it.

However, after many years and months had passed, miasma was released from its body, running the surrounding nature.

Naturally, the Freedom Association received requests to investigate the cause of the wicked miasma.

「Awaken, Chaos Dragon! Your true master is me!」

Using the awakened dragon, he was going to get rid of the pursuing Demon Lord.

In his original plan, he was going to escape while the dragon rampaged.

However, it was different now. Right now, by using the Ultimate Skill『Greedy King Mammon』, the Chaos Dragon’s master was Yuuki.

The Chaos Dragon that had just awakened, released an overwhelming pressure, and absorbed the surrounding magic power to build up its own power.

As a direct descendent of the dragon race, its total length exceeded 20m.

Right now, the strongest dragon moved according to Yuuki’s will.

The roar and miasmic breath it spouted corroded the rocky surface and the arbor, from the hillside to the summit, crumbled.

This was the Chaos Dragon’s ability, Chaotic Breath.

Yuuki sported a proud smile and Kagali turned pale.

Though it wasn’t visible in Claude’s expression, it looked like he believed in his master Leon.

Chloe clenched her fist. If by any chance Leon was defeated, she decided she would destroy the Chaos Dragon with her own hands.

「Hahaha! What do you think? This is something that you can’t deal with so easily.

Right now, if you swear fidelity to me, I will gladly make you my companion, how does that sound?」

Leon laughed scornfully at Yuuki’s proposal.

He had predicted this development. Furthermore, he hadn’t obstructed the summoning.

That was because…

「As expected, it was a Chaos Dragon――.

You’re a fool, to revive a revenant from ancient times, do you wish to incur the wrath of the Dragon Princess Milim?

It will be transmitted to Milim as soon as I cut the soul’s connection.

It the end for you, Kagurazaka Yuuki.」

「……I see. You realized it and didn’t let me do as I pleased.

Even so, won’t you already be dead before Milim arrives?」

「Fufu, do you want to try and see?」

Erasing his expression, Yuuki gave an order to the Chaos Dragon.
