Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 203

At the same time as the strategy was decided, Milim said that she is going to use Dragon Nova, her strongest magic.

Under the cover of the extremely dangerous attack, indeed befitting to be called a mass extinction magic, she told me that she'll let me go.

She once said that she wanted to show it to me and Ciel also has an interest in it, so I accepted her suggestion......

I thought I was going to die.

No, I'm serious.

I wish that she mentioned what kind of magic it is.

Milim doesn't boast this as her strongest magic for nothing. I stopped time[1], so I was safe, since I escaped right away, but Diablo was in a terrible situation since he lost half of his body.

Oh dear, he's acting as if he's dying, what should I do with him, geez...

I can't make fun of Milim ever again, I now see her in a new light.

But as the result, Milim made herself more trustworthy towards Lucia.

Milim shot a Dragon Nova and killed the body which was pretending to be me, and retrieved it to Lucia. Then, in order to make her think that I'm dead, I canceled "Eternal Pain" which had ensnared Lucia.

In that way, Milim succeeded in making Lucia trust her as well as infiltrate into the enemy's stronghold.

As I hid myself, waiting for Milim's signal, I slipped into the darkness with teleport.

Well then, while staying somewhere calm, I begin to think about various things.

The first is the change in Ciel that I felt a while ago.

About "Eternal pain" too, but I believe that Ciel's ability has increased greatly.

Yet, I'm more bothered about my miscalculations on Gobuta's growth limit.

(Hey, don't you think that Gobuta's rapid growth is a bit abnormal?

How much has he surpassed your calculations? And, isn't the calculation deviation too extreme?)

That is the what I'm worried about.

Because up till recently, at the time when I still called her Raphael-sensei, it was rare for her predictions go awry.

I mean, as far as I remember, the only mistake in Raphael-sensei's calculations was the nature of Veldora's attack.

And yet, she incorrectly predicted Gobuta's growth speed, isn't this disappointing coming from Ciel? No matter how much of a genius Gobuta is, I wasn't convinced at all.

Because I was so doubtful, I asked Ciel but,

ŠThat is......whilst performing the calculation, deeper information was detected...... as a result, a large deviation has occurred.‹

So I was informed.

In other words, since Gobuta's ability increased so much, conversely the accuracy fell huh.

No, rather than that

Isn't the fluctuation happening due to the appearance of her emotions?

The idea flashed in my mind.

This might not be a good example, but just like when taking a test, the more you check your answer, the more you question yourself.

It is often the case that the first answer will be the correct one.

In other words, what Ciel is feeling is none other than the emotion called "Anxiety".

A human is a creature who makes mistakes.

Why is that?

It is because a human is an emotional creature.

Machines never make mistakes. Because they never feel anxiety.

If a machine makes a mistake, the cause may be that there was an error during the input of the data or the machine is broken.

As Ciel evolved, she obtained "Emotions".

It means that a perfect being has fallen into an imperfect state.

Experiencing anxiety, she wavers, and so she made a mistake.

Is this a degeneration?

No.

This's unmistakably, an evolution.

Ciel, despite being an existence that had reached perfection, wished for emotions.

A baby feels they're almighty whilst inside their mother's womb, but they lose that feeling as soon as they are born.

Thus, they feel insecure and cry.

Ciel is the same as the newborn baby.

From a perfect situation, like a perfect sphere, she had been transferred into a bigger container.

The vessel was so big, that her own existence became indeterminate.

Therefore, to fill that container, a large surge of emotion was produced.

But I feel relieved because that container, is me.

The chipped container for her indeterminate form is my soul. And, because Ciel was born inside of me, my heart is stable.

The emotions are like waves, they fill the cracks of my heart and become small.

Ciel was bewildered as she hadn't produced a wave of emotion before, so it might take time before she becomes used to it, as for me, my uneasiness became tiny as my heart was filled.

In other words, Ciel felt the anxiety in my place.

(It is not a problem, so don't worry about it. Have confidence in yourself!

You keep on analyzing even while in that state, if it's you I'm sure you can arrive at the correct answer.

Therefore, believe it.

We complement each other, you're not alone!)

ŠMaster‹

Ciel remained silent to my words.

However, the waves of emotion became calm as my chipped heart was filled.

Then, Ciel also calmed down as her anxiety changed into relief.

ŠYes, my lord! Everything will follow your heart's desires!‹

Ciel properly understood my words.

And while hiding under the cover of darkness, she will be reflecting on her meaning of life.

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’

Velgrind flew into the sky with speed that holds up to the title of fastest. Her body feels light and her power seems to have increased.

With a heavy heart, and a mind that is tangled she thought to herself.

In the first place, what the hell is that person?

She, who is one of the strongest, a "True Dragon", was unable to so much as scratch him.

An individual with a soul compatible with the dragon's element and a body that is comparable to the "True Dragons" that stand at the summit of this world.

And that individual, possessing such enormous energy, stood firmly while being capable of absorbing a "True Dragon".

Moreover, two of them.

Can such a being exist?

No, it must exist. It is undeniable that such a being exists.

However, for it to be a Unique Monster who was born from a collection of magic essences leaked from Veldora, by chance, is impossible.

Even if she looked at herself right now, compared to before, her condition is more optimized and in better shape.

She has a feeling that her energy levels has somehow increased.

So in other words, that slime, who manifested her, has a container that simply surpasses the total amount of her energy.

(I can't believe it. Such a being...... as far as I know, there's only one）

She continued thinking.

While continuing to fly around the continent at high speed.

Her speed reached a dozen times the speed of sound and became a flying object which emitted extreme heat and without aiming to, blew away a flock of angels who crowded the sky.

The soul corridor that bound her, was closed.

There was no influence on her, that means, something happened to the person she bonded to.

But, she didn't pay attention to that.

(Humph. That person wouldn't be killed so easily. What is he planing now......)

So, she just fleetingly thought about it.

There is no point in worrying about it.

In the first place, there is no need for her to worry about it, or so she thought.

She is free right now.

Even though she buried it in her deepest thoughts, she was still in a fog of doubt.

She has been caught in the whirlpool of her own thoughts for a while now.

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’

The report made the executives of Tempest shudder.

On the first day of the Great War, the angels' attacks had ended and the evening had come.

The monsters had even prepared for an ongoing battle, but the angels had withdrawn by the time night fell.

This is because for the light attributed angels, they had an advantage under the light of the sun.

As there is a need to eat, the loss of the energy is intense.

For the monsters, a short time of peace is a blessing.

Thus, it's the time for dinner.

The report was brought by the people who returned at the time when the soldiers were taking their rest.

In the control room established inside the labyrinth.

The executives of Tempest, including the Guardian Lords, had gathered.

ŒIs it true that Rimuru-sama disappeared?
