Tensei Slime
Chapter 242 Decisive Battle at the Summit Part 3
A fierce shock ran through Velda's arm when he stopped Milim's super swift sword.
It had more power than Velda expected and he ended up failing to block it. And as proof of that, Velda's Snake Sword broke.
Seeing the broken sword in his hand, Velda looked disturbed for the first time.
And then, angered.
"Good grief… really, you're being such a hindrance through and through…"
Velda muttered, visibly irritated now and attacked Milim with that surge of anger. But, Milim warded it off casually. In fact, with an expression of displeasure on her face, Milim began continuous attacks.
She just kept attacking Velda continuously with an intense will to crush her opponent, disregarding anything they were thinking or planning.
And her speed increased with each attack, starting to catch up to Velda's movements.
Velda was dodging Milim's attacks but he was slowly losing his composure.
Even Velda was unable to completely endure Milim's attacks unarmed.
"Annoying!"
Velda put his hands together and shouted 'Gods' Sword Creation'.
A crack appeared in the space between Velda's hands and a sword was brought forth.
Gods' Sword — Abyss — although a bit lower in rank among the Gods' swords and magic swords, it is a full-fledged Gods' weapon.
Velda was able to produce a Gods' weapon using his own ability.
And so began the sword dance.
Due to Velda and Milim's sword fight, the air around them was being disrupted, piercing anything which it touched.
Milim had finally reached Velda's level.
In that field of death which didn't permit anyone to intervene, Milim put her all into her sword and was cornering Velda as each of her attacks became stronger than the last.
And in response to that, Velda was–
Enduring Milim's pure will and was feeling his plans collapsing before him.
His advantage in terms of fighting power was lost and the current situation was that he was being cornered.
And although he couldn't kill Milim as he needed her alive, it was getting difficult for him to hold back because of the explosive increase in Milim's strength.
It wasn't like he had no other options but his pride was hindering him from executing those.
However, now that it had come to this, it was no time to be saying stuff like that.
Even now, from the exchange of sword impacts, he could tell that the pressure had increased another notch.
Taking advantage of the gap in Velda's awareness, Milim's kick struck Velda's stomach.
(–Such a bother.)
Velda spit out blood and renewed his thoughts.
Milim was needed for Velda's objective no matter what and he could not possibly kill her.
Having said that, if he were to fight with her like this, there was a fear that Milim would eventually become strong enough to actually rival him…
Besides…
As if they were preparing for something unexpected, the two dragon sisters were also observing the battlefield. Velzado protecting Milim from a while back was also very irritating.
Even if he tried to neutralize her, it would not be possible for him to break through both Milim and Velzado's defense.
When he glanced over the battlefield to see what was going on, he saw that Guy and Rudra were having an equal fight.
Damrada and Kondou were also being pushed and it looked like their defeat was also only a matter of time.
(–I guess it's time, huh? The all-out Great Angel-Demon War is over.)
Velda had completed executing the Great Angel-Demon War as Yuuki Kagurazaka's last wish.
They were at a disadvantage but the result was not out yet.
And exactly because of that, Velda resolved himself.
He will achieve his goal at once using all the strength he possessed.
Diablo took his stance with an air of composure and looked at Damrada.
Just by having his memories planted, he is able to use the same abilities from when he was alive.
His energy was also vastly greater and the ultimate gift was also recreated.
Even when he calculated it simply, Diablo could feel double his energy from him.
(Kufufufu, wonderful. I have no complaints about him as an opponent.)
Diablo was grateful for his good luck.
He was diligently devoting himself to work to be of use to his master, Rimuru.
Developing new magic or polishing fighting skills is something which pretty much all of Rimuru's subordinates are doing.
But it was different for Diablo.
