Mirai Pov
A long corridor...that was all I could see for the past hours, I think ? Time seems so disturbed here, I feel and know that I'm inside my mind.
But I can't get out...it's as if it's nor letting me as long as I haven't achieved something...so here i am, walking down this long corridor that seems endless.
Mirai : I need to get out quickly...before it's too late.
I clenched my fist, so hard that I felt something being crushed within my hand...the light tingling sensation I just had was real.
Despite being in my mindscape, I can still feel pain and all physical sensation...this is nothing but a reality within my mind.
Mirai : Huh ?
And as if answering my call...a bright light opened right in front of me, as if the end of the corridor came to me, the space was moving backward while I stood still.
I froze up, raising my arm in front of my face to cover myself from the illuminating light when I realized I wasn't in the corridor anymore.
Instead, I was in a dark room with three large doors...they were plainly decorated with different symbols.
???: You are finally here.
Mirai : You...
The same woman that appeared earlier and woke me up...
???: I didn't intend to introduce myself now but an unexpected variable appeared, it would be for the best for you to awaken now.
Mirai : Who are you ?
Fate : Call me Fate...you and I are more connected than you think.
Fate ? Do I have to take her name subjectively ? Or is she really really related to fate itself ?
The moment she has been using my late mother as her appearance already triggered everything within me to be cautious...what is she really ?
Mirai : I see...what am I doing here ?
Fate : As i said an unexpected variable appeared...your father is currently fighting against the world destroyer dragon Ivarage.
Mirai : Huh ?
My face went pale as I registered her words, w-why would he fight Ivarage now ? How did he even get out of the seal...
An unexpected variable ? Was it the Author ? What is currently happening outside...
Mirai : Then let me out now ! I need to go help him !
Fate : No, at the moment you would be nothing but a burden.
Mirai : What ?! Then what should I do ?! Stay here hidden when everything rolls up ?!
Fate : Perhaps it would be for the best but that isn't what you want...
Her voice was calm and uninterested which made my blood boil...who do she think she is, taking the form of someone important to me and imprisoning me in my own mind !
Fate : That's why cross those three doors...each one has a trial you must pass, if you cannot even go through these...your presence outside would be meaningless.
Mirai : Wha-
Fate : Recover what's yours Mirai Averion, then perhaps you'll see the right path you have to follow.
As her words faded, her figure started dissipating...I gritted my teeth and tried to get her but my hand just crossed through her misty form.
Mirai : Come back !
Unfortunately, my shout and pleas resulted in nothing as all i had left was three doors...she said there were trials behind those...
Fine, I'll clear these all and go back...I'll deal with that Fate later.
Mirai : The first door is...the trial of Pain ?
3rd Pov
Standing there, in front of the fallen Eleonor...Yuu swung her sword through the air splattering whatever blood she had swiped from killing Calgurio.
Yuu : Can you get up, Eleonor ?
Eleonor : Ah yes !
The one standing there was definitely Yuu...as her friend, Eleonor could tell that much but there was something odd...
Yuu wasn't exuding the presence she would usually let off...
Eleonor : (It feels like she is more authentic...)
Yuu Kitanashi is nothing but a false persona Mirai resumed to work as her cover...but as time passed, Yuu gained an identity of her own.
While she will forever be a false persona...she was still a being who lived independently from Mirai.
A being with memories of her own, she had an ego and own will...while they would be second to Mirai's volition.
While she is away, Yuu becomes an existence of her own...and she was conscious that her time was up.
She worked until now by having her memories altered over and over...only for this moment, the final war where all entangled fate would cross.
Yuu : This battle is lost as long as the scorch dragon is here, we need to take her down.
Eleonor : But that's impossible...
The scorching death feeling she had felt when Velgrynd gazed at her was still vivid, Eleonor was aware that even if all the people present there were to jump at Velgrynd.
The chances of winning were still non-existent...
But...there was one thing that Eleonor counted more than her own instinct...
Eleonor : You have a plan, right...tell me what I have to do.
The words and request Dawn asked her during their « date »...he had specifically asked Eleonor for this kind of moment...when nothing but a losing path is ahead.
« Support Yuu the best you can when the time comes. »
Those were the exact words he had pronounced...Eleonor couldn't really understand at the time but now, she realized that Yuu was much more than she let on...
The supreme sword art created by their leader which even made the genius Hinata Sakaguchi struggle through hell to learn...
[Dawn Break] was used by Yuu who isn't even a master swordsman...sure she might be among the best in Ruberios but in no world was she known for her sword play.
Yuu : Let's regroup with Horizon for now, Hinata and her team should arrive any time now, we'll push the scorch dragon back by employing raw power.
Eleonor : Huh ?
Raw power...this wasn't a method you could use against a true dragon, those catastrophic being incarnated raw strength...
Overpowering one is impossible for people like them whose power barely reached that of an average demon lord.
Eleonor : Are you serious...
Yuu : Yeah, I'll show you all what it means to be the shadow of the greatest hero.
Her voice came out full of pride and thirst for something, in reality Yuu despite being a persona for Mirai.
She was totally different...while Mirai is looking at Dawn as her father, for Yuu...he was always her boss.
Someone she followed for decades, she worked for and she looked up to...even after her own emotions were influenced by her true self.
Yuu never ceased to look at his back at a comfortable distance and learned from him...
Yuu : You know Eleonor...i always hated it when i had to watch him teach the other...
Eleonor : What ?
Yuu : I'm not like Mirai...i know i can't have the same relationship as she wants, no instead being his most reliable ally until my end is what i truly wish for.
Eleonor : (Mirai ? Who is that...)
Yuu smiled as her heart was unchained from all her problems...she was truly free from the limitations she had set on herself.
The sky was dark, nothing close to being a peaceful sight yet Yuu felt calmer than ever...despite the situation or odds.
She just couldn't see herself fail now...no, not now...she couldn't fail at this moment.
Yuu : (Now that I think, if Dawn-san was the introduction and Mirai the conclusion, I might just be the development...)
Looking ahead, finally as if realizing the new threat that she had become...Velgrynd's attention finally shifted from Rimuru's aura on the other side of the world to Yuu.
Her majestic crimson red scale glimmered in heat as finally, Velgrynd unfroze herself from confusion and took action again.
Yuu : Let's go,we can't waste anymore time.
Eleonor : Hai !
South gate of the capital city, Rimuru...a squadron of imperial soldiers specialized in stealth was quickly moving to rip off the monster nation.
Their numbers are approximately around 100 with another bigger army behind waiting to strike.
Squadron leader : We are nearing the monster city, disperse now !
All : Yes !
As per his order, the soldiers started encircling the capital city...but soon enough, they realized something odd.
There were no guards posted outside...the city was quiet as if it was a deadland...
SL : Huh ? This is weird...(Units ! Any sight of the enemy's force?)
Unit 1 : (Negative.)
Unit 2 : (None is sight.)
Unit 3 : (Nothing in views.)
Things were going too well and they were yet to enter the city...still, they had to carry out the original plan.
SL : (Get ready, we'll launch the first offense!)
The plan was simple, using the chaos inside Tempest to launch an assassin sneak attack...kill as many citizens as possible then retreat.
The main army of this force would then arrive and blend in...originally, their plan included some other side task but since the report from the main army came in.
Stating that almost the entirety of Tempest's force had teleported to confront the emperor's side...this assassin squad were given green light to go in.
SL : (Wait!)
But suddenly, something caught the squadron leader's eyes...he urged to stop his mens but no response was sent back.
SL : (Unit 1 ? What's going on?)
Nothing...just a dead like silence which made the imperial solder shiver, he looked around with narrowed eyes as the surroundings became blurry.
A freeing mist so dense that even seeing a foot away covered the entire area...at this rate, Tempest was becoming a phantom city.
SL : Who there ?!
Unsheathing his sword, he swung around trying to blow away the mist...but all it did was barely generate a small breeze.
He started panicking as the mist seemed to have a will of its own...it started to envelop his arm and legs...there was no strength.
But the mist was just being too invasive...
SL : What is this ?!
He forced his arm, moving around trying to get the mist away...panic surged in and he felt like his mind was going crazy as time passed.
Finally, a chilling voice made its presence known as the piercing sound of a blade grinding onto the ground rang through the space.
Appearing in his blind spot, a lady that screamed death...
Flora : You guys crossed the wrong line.
A large scythes in hand, this was the final stage of her unique skill : Killer, the hidden power from this skill that originated from her darkest day.
Flora : [Perfect Crime].
A sub skill of hers that brings out her inner world, sending the target into a subspace filled with this cold mist.
There, Flora's presence is made null and any of her strikes become lethal...the scythe that she owned was the reaper's blade.
A weapon that cleanses the soul and teints the domain with her victim's scream...
SL : A-ah...
Terror crept into his stomach as a lullaby made by the hundreds of people killed here, including his very own mens who passed just before him...
Their scream and pain all directed toward the squadron leader.
Flora : The weight of the dead is much heavier than those that are alive.
But the compensation for such power is...that Flora will be constantly even outside in her daily life, subject to those screams...
Her unique skill : Alter ego helps her as in her stead...Eta is the one who chose to take the hit for both of them.
Flora as a complete person had the persona of both Eta and Flora...but if separated then, the reason such skill was given to her would be Eta's responsibility.
Eta : Now die~
SL : AHHH !!!
The mist cooling down as the scream of the squadron leader blended into the domain, Flora was left all alone after only 21 minutes and several seconds...
The squadron that came in first to disturb Tempest's peace was annihilated...
Shuna : Flora-sama, you did a splendid job.
There to welcome her, Shuna along with a few orcs that were on guard duty stood there...the reason as to why the imperial soldiers couldn't read the flow of Tempest is because of the Oni princess.
Shuna had developed a new spell with her unique skill as base to cheat one's eyes and perception.
Called [Labyrinth's veil], an illusion that would make you wander aimlessly eternally as the goal is just out of your reach...
Combined with Flora's power, it was an instant death trap that left no chance for the enemy.
Flora : Thank you Shuna, let's get ready for the main army now.
Shuna : Hai, all the citizens had evacuated the city to the deepest floor of the labyrinth...we are ready to set sail.
Flora : Yeah, by this time the main army should be panicking as all of them lost communication with the first squadron, now it's time to rip them off.
The best defense is offense...Flora beside being the deadliest flower, she was also the second in command of Ruberios's genesis knight.
Warfare tactic and mind based strategy were second nature for her, she was the perfect leader when it came to defense.
The moment Dawn had given her the rôle to defend Tempest, and that Rimruu approved this...the entire Jura Forest had become her chessboard.
A playground where the reaper had total control over life and death.
Flora : Let's go...we have some clean up to do.
Rimuru Tempest, a being that suddenly appeared in the Jura forest and founded a nation from scratch.
This existence couldn't be neglected in the empire's plan and now...in the eastern battlefield where the empire's main force clashed with Tempest's full army.
Everyone understood how scary Rimuru Tempest was...the dreadful aura he excluded even shook Velgrynd and Rudra.
And at the very moment, Rimuru engaged in a fight against both Veldora and Velgrynd...sensing the danger, Rudra immediately ordered the true dragons to focus on Rimuru.
Now outside of the army's range...the slime looked down on his best friend and his sister...
Rimuru : You'll regret this...
Velgrynd : Talk big, you are done for...if you think you are relatively close to a true dragon-
Rimuru : You're too loud.
Velgrynd's brow twitched, never has she been so rudely interrupted before...the heat emanating from her body increased as she assumed a humanoid form.
An otherworldly beauty...that what everyone would agree upon Velgrynd's sight...even Rimuru, though at the moment.
All he saw was the enemy...
Rimuru : Your words are meaningless to me, I'll take back Veldora sooner or later anyway.
Velgrynd : How arrogant, Veldora ! Blow a hole inside this lowly slime !
At her command, Veldora who was still in his dragon form moved...his large mouth opened as a storm breath charged rapidly.
Rimuru seeing this gritted his teeth, it pained him to see his first friend in this world acting mindlessly...controlled by some pest.
Rimuru : (Raphael.)
Raphael : (Notice : Deployment of Ultimate skill : Uriel, Yes or No?)
Rimuru : (I trust you Raphael...no matter which command you start, do it...there is no need for you to ask me when I know I can entrust you with anything.)
Raphael : (!!!)
A seed of emotion menacing to bloom at any moment, that what Raphael felt at the moment, Rimuru's trust in her was true.
In the purest sense, the slime believed in his skill...after all, if there was one person that befriended him before Veldora, it would be great sage, now Raphael.
Veldora : [Storm Breath].
And with perfect calculation, Rimuru totally blocked the incoming attack...shred of the beam pulverized land below but nothing came even close to Rimuru.
Velgrynd : Huh ? That skill...
Rimuru : I'll start with you.
Still hidden behind an impenetrable barrier, Rimuru ignored the [Storm Breath] and directed his gaze toward Velgrynd.
He brought out his sword before covering it black flames sparkled with lighting...Rimuru pupils turned predatory as he vanished from his spot.
Directly confronted Velgrynd as the scorch dragon reacted just on time, parying his sword with her fan...
Velgrynd : (His speed and strength are mediocre...i can tell his skills are dangerous, Rimuru Tempest...i might have to reevaluate you...)
The world slowed down as she thought, her attention focused on Rimuru...his aura was growing terrifyingly fast.
Even now, Velgrynd couldn't exactly tell how deep Rimuru's power would go...
Velgrynd : (But why do I feel like I'm forgetting something...)
Closing her eyes, she deactivated thought acceleration...time resumed as she felt herself being pushed through the mountain behind.
Rimuru was following her as both fought for dominance, their weapon clutching against the other...spark flew everywhere from the sheer friction.
Rimuru : (Raphael, do something about Veldora!)
Raphael : (Affirmative, initiation of-)
Before she could finish her announcement, the sound of a shattered barrier followed by a loud roar echoed through the sky.
Rimuru looked startled when he witnessed Veldora's power...storms raged through the sky and ravaged the land.
Rimuru : What happened ?
Raphael : (Error...unlimited imprisoned failed, Individual : Veldora Tempest broke through Unlimited imprisonment, Error...)
The lord of Wisdom was confused and couldn't comprehend what just happened...Raphael who had just received the total trust of her master.
The ultimate proof of her loyalty...yet she had instantly failed upon her first task, this shook the ultimate skill to its very core.
And Rimuru could feel the fear that Raphael experienced right there...
Rimuru : (Calm down, Raphael!)
Rahael : (Failure, error...emergency initiation of ultimate skill : Urie-)
Rimuru : I said calm down !
Raphael : (!!!)
For the second time now, Raphael was startled by her master...Rimuru who had never raised his voice to such a degree toward her...was now talking to her with his heart.
His physical body was moving almost automatically as he clashed against Velgrynd, avoiding the large tornado formed by Veldora.
Rimuru : (Listen Raphael, you are my partner...even if you fail a thousand times, i'll forgive you that much.)
Raphael : (Master...)
Rimuru : (You and I go much back then...we are true partners and I could never get angry at you.)
His words were reassuring but something was lacking, Rimuru was being sincere...he was aware that Great sage is a gift he couldn't have asked for better.
Rimuru : (I'm not the smartest or the strongest...I have a lot of flaws and I'm naive but you were always here to correct my mistakes, so for that...thank you Raphael.)
Raphael : (I-i...)
Rimuru : (No matter how difficult the situation is, i know that at the end i can count on you, partner.)
Each of his words served as fuel for Raphael's emotion...she slowly felt a need to answer to her master's expectation...
Something she had before as an obligation but now...she sincerely wanted it...
Rimuru : (Ciel...i know, how about Ciel?)
Raphael : (Master?)
Rimuru : (Calling you Raphael when it's a skill name is a bit odd, i feel like our relationship would only resume to this...a master and his skill, that's why i'll name you Ciel!)
A sense of pride and relief washed over Raphael...down to its very core, a bright light broke through a sea of fear.
Raphael, the lord of Wisdom...was now evolving in the middle of this war.
VOTW : (Confirming evolution, Ultimate skill : Lord of Wisdom, Raphael has now received the name : Ciel, successful, evolution into Manas-)
The announcement rang through Rimuru's ears alone before it shut down on itself...Manas : Ciel, the unifier of skills and loyal attendant of Rimuru Tempest was born.
And almost instantly, she had taken her first step...by interrupting the Voice of the World into revealing too much of her evolution.
Ciel : (I Manas : Ciel, the theosophical core of wisdom, the one who merges skills, i exist inside the soul of Lord Rimuru, i shall provide you with my utmost support, it will be a pleasure to work with you, master.)
Rimuru : (A skill evolved ? That's incredible ! Ciel!)
Already hearing the first compliment from her master, Ciel couldn't be overjoyed as she opened her heart.
Ciel : (I shall not fail my master ever again.)
Coming back to reality, Rimruu and Velgrynd have been flying and fighting everywhere now...they were heavenly matched for a long time.
But as time passed, Velgrynd was slowly getting faster and faster making Rimuru struggle...Veldora wasn't helping either.
The storm dragon seemed to be focusing on just blasting everything away...targeting Rimuru with hundreds of unimaginably powerful spells...
He was also focusing on Raphael so this fight was more of a one-sided dodgeball than an actual confrontation.
Rimuru : (Ciel, Veldora seem to be able to cancel our skills, we have to take him out first.)
Ciel : (As your wishes.)
Rimuru nodded and turned around totally ignoring Velgrynd, the scorch dragon who saw the sudden halt in the barrage attack looked confused.
Before realizing that this lowly slime was blatantly turning his back on her...as if she was nothing compared to Veldora.
Velgrynd : You bastard !
Ciel : (Initiating, Unlimited imprisonment, successful.)
And instantly, Ciel showed her newfound resolve...an instant was all she needed to seal off all of Velgrynd' movement.
A perfect barrier surrounded the scorch dragon as she returned to her dragon form trying to break it...
Velgrynd : What is this ?! A prison ?! You dare seal me, you lowly slime ?!
However, her shout fell in deaf ears as Rimuru was already in front of Veldora.
Ciel : (Infinite prison will hold for 299 seconds at most, as an incomplete seal.)
Rimuru : (Then i'll take care of Veldora in the meantime.)
Stretching his arm forward, Rimuru activated Belzebuth as yet another [Storm Breath] made its way toward him.
Rimuru : (Is there any way to wake him up?)
Ciel : (Negative, most optimal procedure would be the use of Belzebuth and re-absorb Veldora.)
Rimuru : (I see...fine, let's do that then.)
He studied Veldora, he was truly a mindless beast...it was saddening to see, but at the same time it served as a resolve seal for Rimuru.
Veldora : Rah !
Rimuru : Now I think, just like with Milim...I did promise to spar with you, Veldora...
Drawing his sword, Rimuru's blade clashed with Veldora's claw...a flash of their first meeting how they sealed their friendship resonated with their movements.
Veldora's chaotic nature against Rimuru's adaptability coupled with Ciel's analytics.
Rimuru : (Ciel, why isn't Uriel working against Veldora?)
Ciel : (It is due to the nature of Veldora's ultimate skill, Lord of Investigation, Faust...it grants him the ability to manipulate probability and result of certain outcomes.)
Rimuru : (Basically, he was the perfect counter for Raphael, no wonder you got messed up...)
Ciel : (I apologize for that, would you like to implement counter-measure for this?)
Rimuru : Yes.
But Faust only worked on Raphael because the lord of Wisdom was akin to a computer, its reasoning is hyper logical.
Faust is an illogical power, the perfect and direct contrast to Raphael...but now that Ciel exists, things are different.
Ciel operates on a much higher realm than Raphael and possesses the one thing that limited the lord of Wisdom.
Ciel : (Analysis completed, formation of unique skill : Fate, failed...variation, creation of sub-skill : Fate manipulation, successful..)
Rimuru : Fate what ?
Ciel (Imbuing each of master's barrier with a new element, successful.)
At her command, Veldora's attack suddenly lost all of its effect...the effect was immediate and any odds for Veldora's victory were now gone.
Rimuru : That's...incredible...
Ciel : (Master can now proceed with Veldora's absorption, 142 seconds left before Velgrynd breaks off the seal.)
Rimuru : Right...
Even Rimuru was speechless from what just happened, Ciel was back on her confident side...the Manas whose wisdom exceeded anyone else.
All that was left to do was to absorb Veldora, and so Rimuru's body decomposed as he used the evolved version of Predator.
While Belzeebtuh shouldn't need such a process, Veldora as a true dragon and higher realm of existence couldn't just be « eaten ».
Rimuru had to return to his slime form and enlarge his body to devour Veldora like how he used to do when he had a unique skill : Predator.
This reminded him how he absorbed Veldora the first time, the big difference was that now Veldora is fighting back.
As Rimuru's body expanded, slime particles like water surrounded the rampaging Veldora.
He wasn't immobilized and his rash movements destroyed part of Rimuru but the slime didn't care...he trusted his partner and continued the process.
After a long minute of struggling, finally Rimuru locked all the parts of his body, constraining the storm dragon.
Ciel : (Activation, Lord of Vow : Uriel...temporary seal will now restrain Veldora, Belzeebuth activation, assimilation start.)
At her words, Veldora's struggle stopped as if he lost consciousness...now it was up to Rimuru, predator started to erode the storm dragon's form.
A large tornado of slime spun around violently, Rimuru felt a burning sensation tearing his soul apart.
It was even worse than when he lost Veldora earlier, no right there was literal pain...the prospect of absorbing a true dragon who was unwilling.
The pain was unbearable yet Rimuru held in...even if it threatened to kill him, he wouldn't let it go.
Rimuru : (Ciel ! Pain nullification!)
Ciel : (Pain nullification is already operating at 100 % Master has to hold in until the process is done.)
It pained Ciel too but she was aware that this pain is necessary, there are some laws that you have to respect when interacting with a higher existence.
Rimuru clenched his soul, the feeling of limbs being torn apart...it turned even worse when Veldora broke through the temporary seal and started fighting back.
Agitating swirled in Rimuru, what felt like an eternity...a long path with no end was overtaking his mind, he slowly felt like he couldn't do it...until-
Ciel : (Adaptation complete, after further analysis of the Storm dragon's energy, i have successfully integrated it's essense into master's body, it is now possible to reform the demon slime body into a species akin to the True Dragon, do you wish to proceed ?)
Rimuru didn't need to answer for Ciel to start the process...it was instantaneous as all strength left Veldora's corpse.
Rimuru's body grew bigger and bigger until it all went down, Veldora's body vanished as Rimuru shrinked back into a normal/slightly above average's slime.
His form was larger than the one he had as a demon slime...his body glowed a rainbow shining brutally as if its very constitution was being altered.
Ciel : (Operation successful...evolution into a True Dragon, successful...)
Ciel's existence intensified as she shone brighter within Rimuru's soul, a rebellious residue of Veldora's power still rampaging in her master's slime-ic body.
Ciel : (You dare fight back against my master ? I order you Lord of Gluttony, Belzeebuth, devour it all until not even a spectrum is left!)
Her command over Rimuru's skill was absolute, second to her master alone...all the power Ciel had absorbed earlier to decrease Rimuru's pain was being sent into [Imaginary space].
Where an unimaginable amount of power was being stacked for Ciel's next move...
Ciel : (Reformation of ultimate skill : Lord of Storms, Veldora, successful...soul corridor via Lord of Storms, reconstitution...successful.)
All under the supervision of Ciel's eyes, Veldora was now back...Rimuru's condition was rapidly increasing as a surge of power exploded throughout the world.
Making its presence known...this was the birth of the fifth True dragon, Rimuru Tempest.
And all this happened right in front of Velgrynd, she who had just seen her little brother being devoured by the enemy...was overwhelmed with scorching rage.
The barrier formed by Unlimited imprisonment broke down at the same time.
Her eyes were menacingly glaring at the small slime still in the process of its evolution...she quickly made way toward the slime.
Clear intent to destroy this majin to its very core...she broke through the thousands of barriers that formed in front of her.
Totally blinded by rage, she didn't realize that she was moving into a trap set by Ciel, no matter how close she got.
Velgrynd just couldn't get to Rimuru...no, the slime was just peacefully achieving its evolution.
Finally, the glow over his body stopped...its shape changed as Rimuru assumed his human form.
He was currently naked, a genderless body whose appearance was of a 16 years old human...his every movement had a tint of mystic.
His golden gaze graced Velgrynd who was speechless...the current Rimuru wasn't anywhere near the level of a simple True dragon.
He had grown up at an unimaginable pace...Ciel had reformed everything within Rimuru while he was unconscious.
The moment one is evolving, in the process is when they are the most exposed to the Voice of the voice and its benefit.
Ciel took the opportunity rearrange Rimuru's skill and her own existence...now Rimuru was as strong as he could be.
Rimuru : Well done, Ciel...we won this war now.
Stretching his arm up, he was briefed under thought acceleration about his new capabilities.
He just couldn't see himself lose now...his eyes simply brushed off Velgrynd as a black mist predated from the palm of his end.
Ciel : (We will now process the Scorch dragon, Velgrynd's absorption.)
Rimuru : Devour her, Belzebuth !
Now being an existence of the same grade, Rimuru was now capable of devouring Velgrynd without as much astruggle as he had with Veldora...
A first turning point in this world war...signed by the Devourer, Rimuru Tempest.
