Chapter 22: That time the I knocked out one of the 10 great demon lord
One days have passed since we departed.
We had been able to reach the marshes.
Since we couldn't replenish our water reserves along the way, I had used the water from my stomach, but it seems to also have filled everyone with power.
Come to think of, since it constantly flows within my magic power, this just may be the water's acquired effect.
When departing we focused on minimizing luggage to maximize speed.
Thanks to that, we were able to arrive sooner than expected.
Before we continue our advance we must confirm the current situation, Because the tensura in the novel might be different than the tensura in real life, so I need to be conscious
The meeting with the abimaru is scheduled for tomorrow, and we have yet to have any cause for concern.
Thus, I ordered everyone to standby and take a break. Tension filled the air.
Now, for the reconnaissance...
Souei (Rimuru-sama, I shall go.)
Souei immediately offered.
He was not wearing any armor. Instead, he was wearing a chainmail woven from my steel thread.
No questions about it—it was built for agility.
According to him, I won't be hit, so there's no need! Such were the smug and brisk words of this handsome guy.
I see... I somehow managed to reply.
This time too, I can entrust this mission to him with confidence.
Rimuru ( Okay then, Souei. Go, confirm the situations for me. possible, go check how good the ability of the pig boss is! )
Saying so, I sent him out.
Surely, he will discover many interesting things with his exceedingly high ability.
Benimaru (Rimuru-sama, would you mind if we rampage as we liked this time?) Benimaru had asked.
Frankly, since I have slightly idea about the situation I couldn't say. Thus,
Rimuru ( Hmm? I don't mind, but If something to happened or there number are too much to handle you can retreat Also can you properly withdraw once I order the retreat?])
So I say.
Benimaru sported a fearless smile.
Benimaru ( That signal, I think it would be unnecessary? After all, it will be annihilation! Won't it? And beside you are too strong Rimuru sama if something to happened you can just handle it )
Such self confidence. You too, huh! So I thought.
Good my subordinate are full of confidence.
Was I acting so smug, but if I lost! And if that to happen, the embarrassment would be intolerable.
This guy probably doesn't worry about such things, right?
Oh well.
Rimuru ( Don't be careless, okay?)
So I said, and ended the conversation with a shrug.
Shion was entranced, admiring her sword. Soon she would be allowed to rampage as she like! Such a smile appeared on her face.
Had she not been so ditzy, she'd be the cool Shion.
That girl, entranced with her sword, makes a really dangerous impression.
Let's act like we hadn't seen it, shall we. That's the best thing for my mental health.
As expected from Hakurou, he was calm as usual.
Or should I say: as bright and clean as a stainless mirror, truly a dignified presence that comes from a skilled person.
However,
Hakurou ( No opponents to sink my teeth in...)
He murmured, but my ears didn't not miss it.
Seriously, I wonder if all Mystic oni and wicked oni monster were this overconfident?
they din't lose like in the anime to the orcs, so they might get too much overconfident
Such worries caused me to let out a sigh.
But..... that my worries were completely unnecessary, was proven almost immediately later.
1 hours later.
Rimuru thought ( Would that be acceptable?)
Confirming the battle formation, I received a telepathic message.
Rimuru thought { What? Did you find something? }
Souei thought { yes, Rimuru sama, a single dragonewt girl is running in our direction }
Author note ( souka hasn't worked with rimuru yet because he hasn't fallen in love with souei yet )
Rimuru thought to himself { so souka is running towards in our direction I wonder why she is running?
Also. The war had already begun.
Rather, maybe we made it in the nick of time. Need to confirm the state of battle from above.
Well, about the souka...}
Rimuru thought { souei why she is running running? }
Souei thought { Rimuru sama there's a five thousand orcs are chasing towards him }
Rimuru thought { oh! That's why, can you save that girl souei? }
Souei { it's too easy my lord }
Rimuru thought to himself { damn ikemen. }
Rimuru thought { okay save that girl souei and we all heading towards your direction because I need to ask her a question }
Souei thought { as you wish Rimuru sama }
I cut the connection.
So, it had begun. I thought that we could enjoy a long awaited break but the circumstances seem to dictate otherwise.
So addressing everyone,
Rimuru ( Listen! The break's over. We all are going towards the direction of souei because a dragonewt girl is being chased by a three thousand orcs now let's move out )
All of them ( yes Rimuru sama )
following Rimuru order They all went towards the direction of souei after some minutes they see a massacre. Many body of orc's lying on the ground also they see souei torturing a large and powerful orc's
Benimaru ( souei you didn't even left a single enemy of us )
Souei ( sorry about that, and Rimuru sama I have an News this orc is powerful as A- monster I suspect the orc lord, is much powerful than this orc also there's a Majin that watching us Through the eyes of the orc's )
Rimuru ( good job souei and Where is the dragonewt you saved? )
Souei ( about that Rimuru sama she is unconscious because she is tired of fighting a lot of orc's )
After Souei told that, Rimuru gave Souei a full potion and ordered him to help Souka to drink the potion following With souka to gain a
Conciseness and souka open her eyes then look at the surroundings but to her surprise souei is in front of him
holding is body, souka after seeing souei holding his body she got embarrassed to the point her Cheek is soo red and she said
Souka ( whamdongwhagwga ) but all of them din't understand, after seeing this Rimuru said
Rimuru ( calmed down souka, take a deep breath and tell me what is happening towards the Marshaland
And is abiru is okay? )
After hearing that souka snap out and she look at Rimuru and said
Souka ( oh! Rimuru sama Thank God your here, also the marshland is being invade by the orc's they too many of them because of that fa..I mean abimaru sama send me towards tempest, also to give a message towards you and abimaru sama said Rimuru sama please help us because there is too many orcs are invading towards us and they number is 950 thousand orcs and many of them are A- class monster and then there's more because orc's general is S- class monster, also the total of orc's general are 10, That's abimaru sama said towards you Rimuru sama, and please Rimuru sama you have to help us because our tribe might get annihilate. )
Rimuru ( don't worry souka, we're going to help you, souei escort souka towards abimaru )
Souei ( hai Rimuru sama )
After souei that he turn toward souka and said
Souei ( come follow me, I'm going to escort you towards your father. )
Souka ( h-hai, s-souei s-sama ) souka said with a blush on his face
Then the two of them vanished
Rimuru ( Listen! The break's is over. The war has begun
From now on I will command from above!
You guys follow my command, prepare yourself for war! )
Hearing my words, everyone faces tighten.
Shion ( Understood. For honor and glory! )
Shion replies and Benimaru nods
Hakurou casually walks forward.
I sprout a dragon wings from my back. The dragon wings open a hole in the clothes, but once the dragon wings disappear, the hole would close.
At my pleasure the clothing would change its form. A truly convenient ability.
After I sprouts my dragon wings all of them got bewilder but I snap them out and I said
Rimuru ( It's an order. I forbid any of you to die. This war is not a decisive battle. Make no mistake! )
All of them ((( Oooo~o~o~o~o !!! )))
They let out a battle cry.
Then shizu walk towards me
Shizu ( Rimuru San I'm going now )
Rimuru ( shizu you can just call me Rimuru now because we are couple now remember? )
Shizu said with a blush face
Shizu ( y-yes, R-Rimuru )
Rimuru ( Good luck shizu ) then Rimuru kiss shizu in the Cheek
Shizu ( Y-you too R-Rimuru Good luck ) then shizu kiss Rimuru in the check
While nodding, I soar to the sky.
From above, I observe the battle.
What cannot be seen with naked eye alone is clearly visible with [universal sense].
Almost as if you were observing with a satellite far beyond the universe.
The current situation was bad for the dragonewt.
Clearly, the situation had degraded to where they could not do anything and were surrounded.
Rimuru thought { tsk they are too many of them maybe I'm gonna help them? but If I do that, they will not gained a battle experience for fighting an too much, Many opponents )
Ciel { don't worry master if anything happens your just gonna revive them }
Kaguya { Ciel is right, my stupid master did you forget I have a sub skill to revive any kind of people? }
After hearing that Rimuru hit his head and said
Rimuru thought { I'm stupid why am i forgetting something like that }
Ciel { don't worry master I'm going to create an extra skill [perfect memory] for you. creating an extra skill [perfect memory] success }
Rimuru thought { why did you just create that skill before if you create that skill Before I'm not going to forget anything? }
Ciel { if I do that master your soul is going to scatter around because your soul has many information about the world and voice of the world is not going to tolerate that, then I made a solution for creating 3 ultimate skills for you to forget a memory you don't need anymore and after doing that I sealed your other memory so you don't get noticed by the voice of the world }
Rimuru thought { oh! That's a sly move Ciel hahaha, but than you for doing that and sorry for forgetting your sub skill kaguya }
Ciel { praise me more master }
Kaguya { Hmph if you forget another of my sub skill I'm going to punish you master! }
Rimuru got a cold sweat after hearing kaguya words and said
Rimuru { h-hai and once again sorry for forgetting your sub skill kaguya also I love you } Rimuru said that to calmed down kaguya
Inside of Rimuru Kaguya is getting red and said
Kaguya { wh-what if you going to said to said that to gain my forgiveness then your wrong if you want me to forgive you, then say that to me every day )
Then Rimuru thought of teasing kaguya but is not the time to tease him, then Rimuru felt ceil is getting jealous then said
Rimuru ( hai my love, I love you kaguya you too Ciel I love you )
The two Manas getting red and Rimuru disided to ignore the two Manas, because Below of Rimuru he see shizu, benimaru, hakuro, shion. And the others are massacring an insane amount of orc's
Then Rimuru decided to create a barrier to prevent any soul from leaving this place and become a magicules even the orcs because they will become a future subordinate for Rimuru.
The Rimuru see Gabiru and thought
Rimuru thought to himself ( It's Gabiru. I had thought that he was just a fool, but it seems I had underestimated him. Because of the anime I watch. oh well at least he is a slightly good at ordering his Subordinate to fight, unlike in the anime compare to this, the two of them are too much to compare because this Gabiru is not that much of arrogant. Also For a commander, it is fatal to not be able to see the bigger picture. However, no one would expect a young commander who lacks experience to properly observe the entire threat. In any age and in any country, not every commander is an excellent one. Should he, however, survive and learn from this experience, he just might become an much excellent one. so I'm going to give an order for benimaru to help him )
Rimuru thought { Benimaru, hear my order. First, encircled the dragonewt Help them! After that, do as you like. The details you will hear from Hakurou }
Benimaru thought { (Understood! Is it okay if I go there with Ranga? }
Rimuru { I leave it to you! }
Thus, I have begun to change the tides of war.
In fact, above the clouds, thinking while observing the armies clash and being able to understand their every movement, gives me a sense of overwhelming superiority.
I must also note that through ["Thought Transmission"], the aerial information can be transmitted to every soldier.....
Information tactics of modern warfare can be implemented in a fantasy world..
Unlike conventional armies, the amount of information provided is vastly different. With this, it is be possible even for an individual unit to maneuver well.
Actually, this makes individual movement possible
When I was thus thinking, Souei called.
Souei thought { Rimuru sama I finished the work in this area also as I said before we are being watch by a Majin Through the eyes of the orcs, and Rimuru sama may i have a permission to leave and participate the war? }
Rimuru thought { Good work souei also you don't have to inform after all in this area all of us are being watch by a four demon lord also you have my permission to leave in that area but you have to Leave an body double in case something happens to others dragonewt understand? }
Souei thought { Hai Rimuru sama }
Rimuru cut the thought communication
And focus towards the harpy watching towards him and he smile towards the harpy but not him towards on watching him and release some of his magicules towards them and most of his magicules hit clayman
In jistav we see the four people are watching towards the war, they are Milim and he's fri...ehem I mean Milim, carrion, Frey and clayman.
Milim ( this is interesting noda! )
Carrion ( yes this is interesting and look at the other Majins fighting the orc's they are strong some of them strong as S- class monster but a lot of them are A- class monster who are there leader? )
Milim ( i don't know but Frey what do you think? )
Frey ( I don't Milim you just drag me into this, also clayman all of the demon lord have a pack towards the jura forest what are you thinking! Evading the forest, If other demon lord hear this you are dead )
Clayman ( don't worry frey because gelmud is the doing it in the first place I don't know what he is thinking )
Frey thought { tsk this bastard is playing dumb, I hope your going to get karma for what you are doing in the forest }
And the ball see a certain handsome Majin watching above also the certain Majin is seems using thought communication
Frey ( wh-what who is that hands- I mean Majin watching In the war he seems using thought communication and he seems pretty suspicious to me because look at him he din't have an any magicules Around him he seems hiding it Milim can you use your milim eye to look at how powerful is that Majins? )
Clayman ( don't worry frey he seems weak to me )
After clayman said that the Majin look at the crystal ball and smile but the next moment the whole room become too much Heavy and the mysterious majin release an immense magicules towards them and clayman got blown away And he hit the wall causing his whole body to bleed but Milim is just fine because his magicules is stronger than Rimuru and she said
Milim ( Wahahahaha, look at that I found interesting new toy, Frey I'm out I'm going to leave and go towards his location )
Frey ( but wait Milim...) but before he could finish he was slightly blown away by the wind because Milim flew and he couldn't catch up because Milim's speed was too fast but Frey didn't give up and flew towards Milim's direction because she was too worried about Milim
Clayman ( h-how dare you, your gonna pay for this stupid Majin ) after he said another another immense magicules hit him and he got knock out
Carrion ( wow that's some immense magicules, maybe I'm going to follow them? but I have too much work to do starting with clayman ) following with that he starting to Lift clayman up
to be continued
author note ( sorry for the late chapter Because 2 days ago I went with my siblings to get them to make a national ID, then after that day my mom told me to get enroll in my school Because I passed the entrance exam, and by a bad luck Many people came to get themselves enroll, then after I'm done on my enrollment, I was caught by a heavy rain so I got home late, so that's my excuse and I couldn't write another chapter, but oh well I hope you enjoy this chapter and sorry for the wrong grammar or spelling because my keyboard is changing the letter of the word I write )
