Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 239
A cheerful laughter echoed inside the hall.
When she heard it, Velgrind regained her composure.
She didn't feel anxious anymore about her body being controlled and not moving as she wanted it.
A bigger problem than that was that her foolish younger brother, Veldora, could see her current pathetic figure that was being controlled by someone So Velgrind thought.
That was unpleasant...
Very unpleasant.
For her disgraceful figure to been seen by him not just once, but twice, Velgrind thought this would greatly hurt her dignity as an older sister.
(That fool, it seems he thinks I was being controlled and get carried away......)
She felt anger boiling up inside her when she heard his loud laughter.
When Velgrind calmed down, she inspected her body carefully once more.
As before, her body didn't respond to her own will. However, when she investigated the cause, she noticed that some kind of meddling was done through the Ultimate Skill engraved deep inside her heart[1].
Is this the reason?
A fragile corridor connected to Ultimate SkillJustice Lord Michaelwas constructed with Ultimate SkillCharity Lord Raguelas the axis.
Velgrind realized that the "Ultimate Dominion" Lucia had declared was done via this corridor.
And, that meant the control circuits were inside the Ultimate Skill itself from the very beginning......
(In other words, this was the mechanism that older brother created for emergency control, something like thatï¼
Velgrind found out the true nature of the mechanism that manipulated Velzard and herself in this event.
If her older brother was the one who built the mechanism that meant it would be near impossible to cancel it.
Although her despair had disappeared with Veldora's appearance, the situation was still bad.
She wanted to click her tongue bitterly, but her body wouldn't do as it was told.
(Well, what should I do now?)
At the moment Velgrind thought so, a mysterious voice echoed deep inside her.
If you desire it, I shall grant you even more power
So, the mysterious voice whispered to her.
It wasn't something simple like an auditory hallucination; a clear and strong will could be sensed from the voice.
It sounded similar to "Voice of the World", but a bit soft and refined gentleness could be felt from it.
The problem was the meaning behind its words.
(Even more power, you said? If I obtained it, can I overcome this situation?)
It's possible, so I assure you
(I see, it's possible. Then, there's no need to hesitate!)
Velgrind consented without any hesitation.
Yes.
For Velgrind, if she could break through this situationa situation that exposed her unsightly appearance to her foolish younger brother, Veldora She wouldn't hesitate even if she had to shake hands with the devil.
I have confirmed Velgrind's will. "Alteration[2]" will be activated
That "Voice" announced.
At that moment, Velgrind felt surges of incredible power.
It was emanating from deep inside her and gently enveloped her whole body.
Notification. Individual: "Scorch Dragon" Velgrind's Ultimate SkillCharity Lord Raguelhas evolved into Ultimate SkillFlame God Sovereign Cthugha[3].
Along with fantastic and majestic sounds, "Voice of the World" loudly announced.
However, that voice could only be heard by Velgrind. Since a complete concealment was done.
And now, Velgrind had been liberated from any constraints.
Velgrind's thought halted at the unbelievable occurrence that had occurred to her own body.
As the amount of information was too much and too abnormal, Velgrind, who wasn't the thinking type, couldn't suppress her confusion.
But, she didn't care about that sort of thing.
Right now, the most important thing than anything else was......
There was only one person that came into her mind that could make this phenomenon possible to occur in her body.
That aloof slime.
Veldora's close friend named Demon Lord Rimuru.
(It can't be......! Could it be that slime...... he had fiddled with the control circuit inside the Ultimate Skill and made it possible to evolve it by incorporating my will and ability to the unnecessary space!? That's not on a level of optimization anymore!! Such an absurd thing is a technique that only Velda can do If there's another being who can do it then......)
Velgrind shuddered as she imagined such an impossibility.
She nearly fell into a thought loop of amazement, but she recalled that it wasn't the time for it right now, her consciousness returned to the reality.
Lucia looked at Velgrind suspiciously, but there was nothing serious to be worried about.
As for Velgrind right now, she could only see the likes of Lucia as an unimportant weakling.
Velgrind's ability had been improved to a terrifying level for her to be able to think so.
Fufufu, Fuhahahaha!
I was made to go to the place where my two older sisters were, for a moment I thought about what will happen, but it seems the God has not forsaken me!
Veldora thought so and felt relief from the bottom of his heart.
Her two older sisters were being controlled.
They couldn't move with their own will as they were under the control of that angel named Lucia.
Taking the advantage of this chance, Veldora would come to their rescue in style. By doing so, her two older sisters would feel grateful to Veldora.
And then, they would repent for their oppressions against him until now and apologize to him.
That was the scenario that Veldora imagined.
(I came to this place reluctantly, but I didn't expect that I will stumble across a chance like this...... I must give Rimuru my thanks)
While thanking his good fortune and his friend's order, Veldora opened his mouth again.
Hey Guy, you seem to be struggling. But, rest assured. With me here, there is no need to worry anymore!
It's you, Veldora. Honestly, I'm grateful. Even for me, it's impossible to release them from the control while fighting them. I understood the principles behind the ability, but its deactivation would be troublesome.
Oh? I expected no less from you. Then, as long as their movement is stopped without killing them, it's possible to release them from the control, right?
Yes. We could do something if we put all our power into thinking. But, in addition to your sisters, there's that strongest Hero. Anyway, we need to disable these three people in front, you know? I think I might have been killed if you didn't come.
Kuaaaahahahahaha! If that's the case, you should be grateful to me!
Veldora got even cockier than before.
Guy had an astounded face, but he said nothing.
As he just said, he thought that fighting those three people would be hard even if Veldora was here.
Killing them aside, the degree of difficulty jumped severely for disabling them.
Rather, Guy thought he wanted to hear the reason why Veldora could be so optimistic.
Kukuku, well then, Guy. You could have the Hero as your opponent. I shall quickly show my older sister some of my improvements!
When Veldora stopped laughing, he stepped forward with a fearless expression.
He walked towards Velgrind without hesitation.
Velgrind. Kill that fool.
Lucia ordered Velgrind as she coldly gazed at Veldora.
And then
Baa¼¼¼¼¼ng!!
A huge sound echoed inside the hall.
Veldora was staring blankly. His cheek was swollen red for some reason.
Veldora had his eyes blinking incessantly, thinking about what just happened.
(Eh? It looks like Aneue moved by her own will just now...... there was no murderous intent at all, but I felt a strong will to torment me though!?)
Agitation ran through Veldora's heart.
(It, it can't be!? That's impossible!!)
In front of the reality that he didn't want to acknowledge, a bead of sweat trickled down Veldora's forehead.[4]
Hey, Veldora. Just now, did I hear you say you were going to show me something?? Or did I misheard it?
Velgrind walked quietly to Veldora with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.
However, Veldora knew that she was never a gentle person and that she was the embodiment of this world's terror.
Ah, hauah......!?
It wasn't "hauah", you damn fool!!
Velgrind's fists approached him.
Veldora's train of thought stopped operating as if they were paralyzed, it was impossible for him to take an evasive action.
Alas, the memories of fear etched in his instinct from his childhood interfered with Veldora's action.
An awfully heavy and painful, but damage-less attack hit Veldora.
It didn't take much time for Veldora's eyes became teary.
Kuh...... Isn't this strange! How could Aneue move? Weren't you being controlled!?
Shut up! Did you think that I'll fall for the same trick over and over again? Did you underestimate me? Hey, Veldora?
N-no......I didn't mean it that way......
While trembling, Veldora realized that there was nothing he could do except to wait for his older sister's anger to subside.
What is really absurd was that the damage jumped overParallel Existenceand reached Veldora's main body.
The reason for that was......
Hmm, this is sure convenient. I see it's something calledSpace-Time Continuous Strike[5]. Whether it'sParallel ExistenceorMultiple Existence, it seems I can deal an attack beyond the space-time with this.[6]
Velgrind nodded pleasingly.
Veldora who heard it started to look pale.
Velgrind's words meant that his method of escaping by sacrificing one of his clones as the scapegoat was no longer usable.
Parallel Existence had given him an absolute advantage, but now it had fallen to a meaningless ability.
Indeed, it was the birth of the natural enemy of Veldora.
(Woahhhhhhh, what have you done, Rimuru!!)
Veldora screamed in his mind.
