Final Decisive Battle Part 5
So, I worked hard like that.
I hope that all of you would understand that I was never slacking off.
Velda was surprised by my appearance.
That was understandable.
After all, I appeared with『Teleportation』that I just got a while ago.
At the sa ti I acquired it, Ciel incorporated it into『Void God Azathoth』.
It seed Mai could only go to places she had been to before, but that was her limit as a human. That couldn’t be helped since a human’s ability to grasp space heavily relied on their eyesight.
However, I could grasp a huge amount of spatial information, including with Observation Magic. That ant that I could teleport to places that I could recognize.
I could learn about the situation through Diablo and Veldora-san’s eyes now. That was the reason I could easily co to this place.
I looked at Velda who was wary of my arrival and showed him a fearless smile.
It was to provoke him.
With that, it would increase Velda’s wariness towards . In that opportunity, I prepared myself in order to bring down Velda.
Before Velda rushed into action, I absorbed the energy I had suppressed.
I was fortunate that my energy recovery couldn’t catch up and steadily absorbed it into my『Imaginary Space』. In there, Ciel-san diligently converted it into energy I could use.
Thanks to that, I greatly recovered from my low energy state and it seed to be enough to fight Velda.
I guess you would never know what could turn out to be a fortunate situation.
By the way, I found out the reason why my energy didn’t recover when I ca to this place.
The culprit was probably Veldora-san.
I think he created『Clones』and rampaged around.
It seed he could replenish his energy through the “Soul Corridor” from , no mistake about that.
I thought so, but…...
When I confird that with Ciel while being amazed, I heard a surprising answer.
《That’s right. In addition, a bit of it is also flowing into Diablo and Benimaru. More energy was used than expected for Velgrind's Skill Evolution.》
She replied in a carefree way like “And so, what about it?”
Because she said it too smoothly, I was stuck on how to reply to that.
No, no, she used my energy without my permission though……
However, even if I wanted to complain, it was true that I was helped by the low energy state due to her doing.
There was a heap of stuff that I wanted to say, but I gave up complaining.
Or rather, perchance….. Even this situation was within Ciel-san’s expectations?
No, no, no, there’s no way. I might indeed just be overthinking it.
It couldn’t be, right?
There was no way she could predict things that far and predicted what kind of plan Velda would take either.
《I have confird the phenonon of energy returning to Heaven[1] when the angels were defeated in various places.》
Yeah. I knew that.
《I have predicted that the most efficient way to use the energy of the angel gathered in the Heaven is to make all of the energy go berserk. Therefore, as the counterasure for it, I have persisted your state of energy exhaustion.》
Well, you said it so easily, but…… that, wouldn’t that be a big problem if you misread things?
Moreover, Velda might absorb all of the energy and super-powered up[2] himself.
I couldn’t possibly fight Velda in an out of gas state like that, what were you going to do if the energy didn’t recover smoothly?
《He can’t do such things as super-power up. He wouldn’t be struggling if he could power up himself that easily. Well, even if he were to super-power up himself temporarily, there would be no problem. I don’t think that My Master would lose in low energy state, but just in case, it was possible to forcibly retrieve Veldora and Velgrind back to recover about 60% of the energy instantly. So, there’s no problem.》
Ah, I see.
She declared that super-strengthening was impossible, but what about ?
Am I an exception?
…… I felt Ciel-san had overestimated too much.
Ciel-san is the “If she says she’ll do it, she’ll do it” type.
So, she generously distributed the energy at a fast pace.
Since Veldora-san and Velgrind were also recovering their own energy, certainly, it would be the best idea to have them cooperate with in the worst case situation.
Whether I would get their approval or not would beco the problem, but I felt relieved to know that such way was available.
I felt I got to see a glimpse of Ciel-san’s scary side, but my doubt was cleared.
What’s left was only to defeat Velda.
Also, before that……
I examined the orb remaining in my left hand.
When I finished absorbing all of the energy, it seed only the core remained.
It resembled the pseudo-core I made, but the concept seed to be quite different.
What’s this――
「Yo! I thought it was the end but I didn’t think that I will survive in this form, you know? Although I can’t really say that I’m “alive”. Hahahahaha!」
It talked!?
I stared at the orb in surprise.
Even though it had no vocal cords, it seed to produce sounds by vibrating the magic essences. It was a very skilled orb.
「Rudra! You are safe……it doesn’t seem so, but you were safe?」
Although Velgrind found herself stuck for words, she still asked the orb.
Hmm…… This orb, is Rudra?
I felt his character was completely different from the Rudra I knew though…..
「Hah! Well, being tenacious is my forte after all!」
No, no. Even if you called yourself as tenacious, your status as an orb was hard to be said as alive.
At the mont I tried to do a carefree tsukkomi like that――
Velda instantly closed the distance and ca to slash .
However, I didn’t let my guard down even while talking, I kicked up the sword stuck in the ground, wielded it in my right hand, and I stopped Velda’s sword with it.
「Naïve! I don’t underestimate you that much that I will let my guard down in this final stage, you know!」
I didn’t want to complint him, but it can’t be helped as it was true.
Velda was indubitably the strongest person as far as I knew.
Judging from a brief look just now, his power was rising trendously. I felt Guy’s almightiness and Milim’s strength, and the energy of “True Dragon” level.
I also thought whether to attack him in the gap while he was wary of , but stopping was the right decision. As expected, this guy wouldn’t let his guard down, so I had to deal with him carefully. Besides……I had just one concern.
Since there was such a concern, I couldn’t possibly do sothing such as letting my guard down.
I exchanged several blows with Velda and took so distance from him.
That just now wasn’t even a warm-up, it was just a playful greeting.
In the first place, I couldn’t get used to fighting using a sword that wasn’t mine as I expected. Or rather, this sword was an excellent weapon and obviously of God class too.
From pure performance, this sword was better than my katana.
Even so, I wouldn’t cheat because the katana I was familiar with was easier to be used.
「Hahaha, You’re not bad. You’re able to handle my sword. However, you still have lots more to work on. Unfortunately, you don’t seem to be my true vessel.」
The orb in my left hand proudly said such an evaluation.
Or rather, what are you?
Because of you, I was fighting Velda with just my right hand. Since the basic is to wield the sword with both hands, I was unfamiliar with fighting only using my right hand.
「What are you supposed to be? The Rudra I know was full of himself because he was an emperor, but you’re above him on that.」
「I see. I did beco an emperor, heh? Well, I guess I must have gotten “llowed out” if I stopped at the status of an emperor though.」[3]
「I don’t care about that stuff and not interested. Like I said, what the heck are you?」
I ignored the complaint of the orb that started to talk about itself and asked the most important thing.
I couldn’t leisurely fight Velda in front of after all.
「That’s right! You are exactly like Rudra, but I can’t think that you’re just reproduced mories, you know?」
Reproduced mories?
Velgrind’s words piqued my interest.
《Apparently, this orb has the effect of reproducing a dead person’s mories. However, even if it can recreate a personality as close as the original, the soul is a different matter. It should be no more than a copy, but――》
Yeah, it couldn’t be said as reviving soone just by reproducing their mories.
What’s important for a soul is a heart.
「It’s certainly very interesting. The mory Orb that I made can only reproduce mories. There’s no function such as recalling soul. If that was possible, there was no need for to do troubleso stuff like this.」
Velda seed to be interested in this phenonon as well.
Because he was well inford of the stuff he created, Rudra acquiring freewill itself was impossible.
「Hahahahaahaahaahaa! It’s that, you know. I was super excellent, or sothing like that I guess.」
Let’s ignore the boastful voice that could be heard from my left hand.
Rudra certainly died.
That was for sure, but……
《――Talking about a possibility, reincarnation may be one of the causes.》
Reincarnation? What did you an by that?
《Emperor Rudra had his soul torn apart due to repeated reincarnations. It’s possible that torn parts of the soul gathered together and beca another soul. Neither an existing soul nor a temporary soul, it has a heart with a high degree of freedom.》
His soul was torn apart every ti he reincarnated and gathered as one?
It’s a bad example for an analogy, but is it like the residues of an eraser lumped together to make a kneaded eraser[4], or sothing like that?
Treating a soul and an eraser as the sa might be a problem though.
It wasn’t sothing you would normally think about, but I could hardly say that’s absolutely impossible.
After all, I got reincarnated as a sli which you would normally consider as impossible.
So, because there was a person with fragnts of Rudra’s soul sowhere in this world that the mory Orb embedded with the mories was able to reproduce Rudra’s will.
In that case――
I suddenly hit on a good idea. And then, I carried out the idea as ordered by my mischievous heart.
「Rimuru, what are you doing!?」
「Hahaa, this is interesting!」
Velgrind confusedly raised her voice.
Rudra felt it was interesting.
I didn’t really do anything great.
I just threw the sword to Velgrind.
I fused the mory Orb in my left hand with the sword I held in right hand, though.
I embedded the mory Orb into the base of the hilt of the God Class Sword like a conspicuous shining jewel. Since I fused it so it beca one with the sword, the orb part would be as strong as the sword.
If there was really a reincarnated person who shared his soul, that person should be able to draw out Rudra’s abilities by holding the sword.
I made it that way so you could depend on it.
In order to enable him to have conversation with the owner, I had also asked Ciel-sensei to remake and changed Rudra into a pseudo-Manas.
Naturally, the information of the mory Orb had been analyzed.
「I turned it into Intelligence Sword[5]. Because I fused Rudra’s will and the sword, from now on only soone with the sa soul wavelengths as him can use the sword. In other words, the person who has the qualification to wield the sword will be the proof that the person is Rudra’s reincarnation. Interesting, right?」
“Don’t do things as you please!” I thought that she would get angry like that, but Velgrind only took the sword into her embrace and stared at .
Rudra was laughing jovially.
「Hahahahaha! Is that so, there’s a possibility that I got reincarnated? I see that would explain why I got a free will! It’s certainly interesting.」
So he laughed happily.
Listening to Rudra’s words, Velgrind gave a nod as if to agree with him.
Velda was annoyed, but he glared at with an expression as if he was satisfied with sothing.
He thought about the reason why his own plan failed and admitted that my――or rather, Ciel’s――deduction was right, I guess.
While Velda’s attention was on the Intelligence Sword, I unsheathed my katana and took a stance.
With this, I could fight seriously.
「However, given that the Will of the super-excellent remained a whole, I guess the person who might be my reincarnation now would surely be a cowardly fellow. I’m looking forward to our eting.」
「Fufu, that might be so. The last thing left from Rudra at the end was only his charisma, not even his prided luck remained…… But conversely, that person might only inherit that luck. I want to et that person if that person exists. Your reincarnation, a cowardly and lucky person――」
Velgrind nonchalantly said.
A cowardly and lucky person――? There was soone who matched that description, but it couldn’t be, right.
Although the person in question had no charisma, that person was compensated with incredible luck though……
I’m sure that the ability that person had is called『The Chosen One』――
It’s a coincidence. I’m sure it’s a coincidence.
I ignored Rudra and Velgrind’s conversation and abandoned any further thoughts.
Fate would decide their encounter and if that person was really Rudra’s reincarnation, they would eventually co across even if I didn’t say anything.
Besides, if my thoughts were right, that person probably wouldn’t be able to run from Velgrind.
Well, it didn’t matter to .
I guess I did do so unnecessary things, but the rest was their problem
I irresponsibly decided that Rudra and the others’ matter would have nothing to do with .
Like that, it seed I had succeeded in buying ti.
Velda was too wary of and only attempted minor attacks.
I easily parried them and waited until the preparation was completed.
Then, finally――
「We did it, Rimuru! I and Gaia completely locked up the Heaven to another space!」
So I heard Ramiris’ shout.
「Alright, good job! With this, we blocked your escape!」
This ti for sure, I showed a triumphant smile towards Velda.
It would be aningless if we cornered him this far just for him to run away.
Therefore, I brought Ramiris and Gaia――”Earth Sovereign Dragon” Velgaia――to the Heaven and asked them to lock this place completely.
It was impossible for Ramaris because she had her own labyrinth, but it was demonstrated that Gaia could create a pseudo labyrinth.
Under Ramiri’s guidance, Gaia’s labyrinth completely covered up this Heaven.
「You bastard, so that was your aim!!」
I could see the color of emotions for the first ti in Velda’s expressions.
That agitation was exactly what I intended.
Furthermore, Ramiris and Gaia succeeded in rescuing Milim who got caught.
「Kyuiーーー!!」
「Gaia! When did you beco strong like this!?」
Milim was safely rescued and she seed to be surprised with Gaia’s growth.
「Mission completed on this side, Rimuru! Go on and send that guy flying!」
Ramiris proudly gave the “GO” sign towards .
In addition to her,
「To be honest, I wanted to do it myself but unfortunately, I can’t win. Rimuru, please avenge !」
Milim said so.
「Leave it to . I’ll carve it properly into your body as the reward of laying your hands on my precious friends!」
I raised one hand to answer Milim and declared so towards Velda.
Well then, since all of the trouble was sorted out, let’s end this quickly.
When I thought so…..
A terrific explosion was heard and a corner of the Heaven was blown away.
I was surprised and turned my focus to that direction――
Just as I thought, I saw Veldora-san who beca pitch black over there.
