Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 199

If you think about it, a strategy where all of the Demon Lords gather in one place and fight the enemy together would never work.

This is because it would be a decision that would disregard the people who have faith in their Demon Lords.

It would be a reliable way if all we wanted was to win the Great war, but if this plan went badly then it could lead to a worse result where the majority of the population would be lost.

If the goal is just defeating Velda, this plan could be considered as the best plan, but it seems that the Octagram cannot ignore one of the Four Fiends who introduced himself as Vega and those who have the same rank as him.

No, it might be difficult even for the Octagram.

If we take on this monster along with all the members, it would end quickly without any problem, but the domain we rule would very likely be ruined if we did so.

That is the reason why Ciel-san said that the Demon Lords won't give their consent.

Oh well, it isn't even guaranteed, that if the Octagram stayed together, that the victory would be certain.

Because once we defeated all of them and went around the places that got attacked, with the gate, one by one, the last country would probably be destroyed.

The part that we misread is the mass of the enemy forces.

That is because Ciel made her predictions based on Vega and Kagali from before they absorbed and mastered the power of the seraphim.

The ability of Vega of the Four Fiends of the Heaven Commanders has exceeded Ciel's expectations.

It is expected that his ability will break through his limit if he continues his rampage on the surface as he is.

In addition, as the number of the Seraphim is unknown, it would be fatal if we can't predict the force of an enemy who has the strength of awakened Demon Lord class.

Oh well, I expected that there would be at most 10 of them, but currently they still can't be considered as a threat.

I think that those of my Guardian Lord class, would be able to deal with them perfectly.

The problem is the Four Fiends of the Heaven Commanders.

Because he said four, there is probably four of them.

Of course they wouldn't mention Four Fiends if their members are more than four.

That would be great.

By the prediction, Vega and Kagali is confirmed. Another one seems to be Dino, the problem is the last person.

I believe that the last one is probably Dagruel.

Dagruel who is one of the Octagram as well as Ruminas.

I think both of them are equal. But they only became equal because Ruminas had obtained an Ultimate Skill.

Dagruel is a Demon Lord who has an abnormal power. The scale of his powers cannot be understood completely.

If in contest of strength, it is certain that he would overpower Ruminas.

Guessing from Vega's power, I'm able to expect that Ruminas won't be able to win against Dagruel.

That's why I sent over Shion and Adalman, two of the Guardian Lords, but......

I still have this bad feeling that I can't shake off.

I think that forcing me to fight Milim is not to buy time.

I'm relieved that Benimaru and Zegion will remain in Tempest, but I should not be careless.

In the worst case, I need to prepare to make a move but a slight uneasiness passed through my mind.

The next is that there is a question about Leon's confidence.

I'm certain that Kagali of the Four Fiends of the Heaven Commanders went towards Leon's place.

Kagali and Leon also have a connection and I think that Kagali bears a grudge against Leon.

The problem is the extent of Kagali's power.

Vega's power exceeds Ruminas'.

When compared to Leon, depending on the situation, I think that Leon would be defeated by Vega too.

Vega has become abnormally strong to such a degree.

If I assume that Kagali, who is on the same rank as Vega, became equally strong as him, Leon's victory will become questionable.

Before the reinforcement request comes, thinking about some kind of countermeasures sounds good.

I floated in the sky after I teleported and decided to watch the battle on the ground.

Vega is fighting against Karion, but the situation is that Vega is overwhelmingly superior to Karion.

I think there is a need to greatly revise the ability analysis result of the so called Four Fiends of the Heaven Commanders, Vega and Kagali.

As I expected, there is a difference in obtaining information by seeing the fight directly versus from seeing it on the screen.

For caution's sake, I contacted Guy with telepathy.

I told him the current situation. Next I let him decide what he wants to do, let's believe that he will move appropriately.

The time when Chloe and Guy meet is soon, let's have him do what he can currently.

Just like that, when I finished all of the preparations, I calmly began to descend.

It might be making me uneasy by letting other people handle everything, but I should believe in my subordinates.

Using all of the cards I can use, even Ciel says that there is no other better strategies besides that.

Under the present situation, there is nothing else that I can do.

Then I'll do my work.

The most important task in this place is to eliminate the person who is trying to manipulate Milim.

ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’

At the moment when Rimuru arrived in the sky and gazed down with his eyes.

Karion was in a hopeless battle.

ŒGuhaahhahahahaha!! Is the power of the Lion King only this much?

It is so weak that I'm speechless!

You don't even reach my, this Vega-sama's feet, the true Beast King!

How is it? I might make you a subordinate of mine if you kneel down and beg for your life.

ŒHha! Don't make fun of me! This Karion has dedicated his loyalty to Milim-sama.

I need not lower my head to be your petty underling!

ŒHow cheeky.

Just like Milim, you're just a fang-less pet dog!

Although I would spare your life if you served this great me, Vega-sama......

You better regret the stupidity of your decision in the next world!

Vega shouted such.

And a compressed aura bullet of a 50 cm diameter surged up.

˜I can't receive that'. Karion's instincts, which could be called super instincts, perceived the danger of the destructive power that aura bullet has.

Even if he promptly evaded it, Vega seems like he will not allow him to do so.

Aiming at Karion, Vega continuously shoots the aura bullets.

ŒDamn itƒ¼ƒ¼ƒ¼!!

As he shouts, Karion put all of his magic power into the deployed Aura Shield in front of him.

Of course, he understands that he would die if it hit him directly. He adds some angle on the Aura Shield with repelling the aura bullets in mind.

Because of Milim's intensive training, the means of dealing with an enemy who has more destructive and stronger power than him had been hammered into him more than needed.

Rather, he doesn't have any memories of it stopping no matter how much he shouted for it to stop.

Milim laughed, but she didn't stop......

The result of that special training saves Karion now.

His magic power is depleted greatly but he has somehow managed to survive. The repelled aura bullets, transforming the surroundings' terrain with their destructive power.

Karion believes that just the fact that he was able to endure them somehow, is praiseworthy.

Under the cover of the smoke caused by the explosions, he slipped into a newly created crater. He hid himself in the shadow and suppressed his breath.

(Good grief, what the heck is with that power......

If Milim was not my opponent during the combat training, I might already be done for right now )

He thought about such things.

At the same time, he remembered his friend who trained together with him.

(Wait! You'll die-ssu! If you take more than this, you'll seriously die-ssu!!)

That guy had always been next to him and had yelled that.

And even though that guy said ˜I'm at my limit, it's impossible', he kept Karion company until the end of the training while being lively.

(Damn! I'm still okay. I will get laughed at by that guy if I admit my defeat here!)

Karion grinned widely and laughed.

Karion's power, which had risen greatly as a result of Milim's training, is clearly shown during the fight.

He remembered Milim's words, "The most important thing is, don't die!".

Just like that, he is now able to understand what Milim said.

When fighting against a stronger opponent, first ascertain the enemy's strength, then prioritize survival over everything else.

Fortunately, his subordinates seem to have left the vicinity of this area in accordance with his aide's orders. Afraid of getting involved in the battle, the angels also didn't approach this area.

Vega didn't manage the angels in a skillful manner, if he was smart, he would make them surround and annihilate Karion and he would be dead by now.

But Vega hasn't given any orders to his subordinates because he is confident with his own strength.

(There might be a chance for victory. Anyways, I need to endure. And then, wait for my chanceƒ¼ƒ¼)

Karion doesn't give up.

He need to draw out the enemy's forces and expose their power, giving Milim the advantage.

He will leave the rest to Milim, who is the leader.

He was anxious because of what Frey said, but he needs to do what he can do right now with all of his effort.

ŒTch! How sly!! You're just a coward who only has hiding in your brain.

What is with the title ˜Lion King'? Rat is a more appropriate title for a coward like you!!

ŒShut up!

It's a strategy, strategy. You who are dumb may not be able to understand it!

Karion shouted back to Vega's provocation.

He won't get provoked.

Making use of the echo, Karion used tricks so Vega can't know where he is.

Baited by the voice, Vega shot a series of magic bullets at the places that had nothing.

Compared to the simple aura bullet from a while ago, the power was higher. The surrounding terrain wasn't just altered, but hollowed and annihilated.

It seems very unlikely for Karion to be able to endure many of them if he received them directly, because of the power they have.

Vega just threw them without accumulating them, yet they have the power to alter the landscape.

It was more than the kneaded magic bullets. If he face it upright, his magic power will be run out in a moment.

If it goes badly, he fears that he will receive an attack which won't leave him any chance to recover.

He could feel the pressure in the hand which wield the Byakko-Seiryuu Lance. Because it seemed the situation will become worse if he lost his composure here.

He's considering using his trump card,ŽBeastification[1].

At the same time of this ability activation, all the damage he received from before that would be completely restored, and all of his energy would also be restored.

Then with the large rise of his fighting power, it's possible for him to raise the limit of his abilities.

During Milim's special training, Karion acquired the Unique Skill ŽLion Heart.

This ability increases his power against a person stronger than him and gives his attacks penetration effect.

And using it together withŽBeastification, results as an Original SkillŽDragon Body[2].

An indomitable heart and an unyielding body.

He had acquired a strong and unparalleled power.

However......

(In order to win against this guy, I have no other choice than to use Original SkillŽDragon Body, but it's time limit is a mere 10 minutes......)

That's right.

It is an incomparable ability that can be thoughtto be an invincible power, but after 10 minutes passes and all of the magic power runs out, the transformation would come undone.

In the current situation, he would be defeated overwhelmingly if he only using Unique SkillŽLion Heart. Karion wants to refrain from usingŽBeastificationuntil he receives a big damage, but once he uses it, he won't be able to use the Unique SkillŽLion Heart.
