ROAR!!!!

The demonic creatures that appeared from the demonic magic circles roared, sending powerful winds from their roar alone.

Whoosh!

“Need some help?” Asked Alfred as he suddenly appeared behind Slime.

Slime just smiled without answering him.

Whoosh!

“Hm? What just-” Alfred asked in confusion as both of them suddenly got teleported to the middle of Brandon, Griselda, Sen, Edreale, and co.

“You’re too reckless, Slime Tarot,” Commented Griselda.

(Teleportation. She knows how to use spatial magic?) (Slime)

Spatial magic has always been the most mysterious element of magics. It needed something more than just knowledge and talent. Slime got the urge to squeeze her for answers about it immediately, but he managed to suppress his curiosity.

!!!??

A huge fireball suddenly flung towards Slime and co at a terrifying speed.

(Shit, is it the summoned demonic creatures’ doing?) (Slime)

Slime ready his halberd and about to cast a spell to block it and the others ready their weapons to block the attack too, but-

“[Fire Barrier]” A familiar voice sounded behind Slime, and a thick fire barrier suddenly appeared and blocked the huge fireball launched by the demonic creatures’.

“Albus!” (Alfred)

“That’s dangerous, Alfred! Mr. Slime!” Scolded Albus.

“Don’t get so worked up, Albus. We won’t die because of that~” (Alfred)

“What are you saying? those demonic creatures would have shred you to pieces if Griselda doesn’t teleport you here!” Albus continues to scold Alfred. Looking at Albus made a small smile formed at the corner of Slime’s mouth.

(Seems like his attitude got bigger together with his body, huh) (Slime)

“Sir Albus, Miss Griselda,” Slime called out to the two young magic gods of Grandaria kingdom.

“Could you and the rest handle the demonic creatures?” (Slime)

“H-huh?” (Albus)

“We could, but those demon kings won’t just let us be, right?” (Griselda)

“It’s fine, I’ll handle them myself,” Answered Slime indifferently as he ready his halberd once again.

“Yes- eh? What? Wait! Mr. Slime!” (Griselda)

Whoosh!

“Damn, here we go again,” Muttered Alfred as he saw Slime dashes. He immediately followed him. Edreale and Sen saw Alfred following Slime and followed him.

“W-wait! Alfred! Edreale! Sen! Ugh, Albus, can’t you please control your friends!?” (Griselda)

“B-but they’re your friends too!” (Albus)

Once again, Slime dashed towards the demon [King]s at a high speed. But the demonic creatures won’t be that easy to pass.

“Hmph! [Shadow Clones]” Slime snorted as eight shadow clones dashed from his shadow towards the shadows of the demonic creatures.

All of the shadow clones put their hands on the ground and shouted.

“””[Shadow Bind]!!!”””

The demonic creatures got frozen for a while, but as expected it won’t be easy to bind all of them with mere shadow clones. And to add that Slime’s mana is not enough to hold such gigantic creatures.

But he’s got all the time he needs.

Whoosh!

Slime got through the demonic creatures right before the shadow binds breaks. Once again, he swung his magi halberd with even greater force than before.

Boom!!!!!

But once again, it is blocked by the six-armed demon king.

“You lowly human!” Roared Valac as he parries Slime’s strike and manages to make Slime pushed back.

“Hm?” Slime realized something is strange and jumped back as he reanalyzes the situation.

(His strength keeps increasing… Why?) (Slime)

!!??

“I see… So that’s the reason why you send those demonized pawns of yours first, huh…” Muttered Slime.

(The mana excluded by the demonized soldiers when they die made the air filled with demonic mana. As demons are creatures that feed their strength from demonic mana, their power got weaker when they’re in this world where demonic mana is almost non-existent…) (Slime)

“And now that the air is filled with the demonic mana, they’ve regained their original strength, huh… This might be bad…” Slime couldn’t help but make a wry smile.

(Master, you should use us) (Reo)

(Yes mas-) (Fenrir)

!!??

Boom!!!!

“Ugh!!!” Valac suddenly appeared behind Slime and struck him from his right side. Slime managed to position his halberd to block the strike, but the overwhelming force of Valac’s strength overpowered Slime’s stance and made him flew because of the force.

Slime skillfully land and about ready his stance once again, but just right when his feet touched the ground, another figure had waited to strike him from behind him.

With an evil smile worn on his face, Caim strikes Slime with all of his might.

“DIE!!!” (Caim)

(Sh*t…) (Slime)

Boom!!!

Slime ready for the impact of the strike as he had already positioned his halberd to block the strike, and sure that he will get blown once again. But the impact he’s waiting for didn’t appear.

???

“Y-you… Who are you…” Caim asked the samurai before him. He tried to strike with all of his might, but the man before him still managed to block and withstand the power, and even starting to overpower his sword.

(Sen!!) (Slime)

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

“Hm?” (Slime)

(The clouds… This is…) (Slime)

“I’m asking who are you, human! State your name!” Shouted Caim.

Sen doesn’t answer Caim’s question and jumped back while sheathing his sword back to its sheathe.

“Hmph! You arrogant, human-” (Caim)

“[Thunderclap]” (Sen)

Slash!

A single slash together with the sound of a thunderclap.

A slash so fast that Caim couldn’t even react to it.

Click!

Sen sheathes his sword back.

“W-what, what just happened *Cough*” Blood gushed out from Caim’s stomach and his mouth as he cough.

“D-damned… Hum….” (Caim)

Thud!

Caim fell to the ground and became a lifeless doll.

!!!!???

“Sen!” Slime shouted as he ready a card to throw.

Valac appeared behind Sen with an unexpected speed and about to strike Sen with all of his six swords. Sen finally show a shocked expression as he quickly reaches the sword and about to unsheathe it, but-

“No. No. No. You can’t do that, you know? He’s my cute little brother, after all,” Alfred’s voice suddenly appeared behind Valac.

!!!???

Slash!

A single cut.

A clean cut.

Valac’s head got disconnected from its body by that single strike, and both the head and the body fell motionlessly towards the ground.

Thud!

Another figure arrived at the scene with her usual expressionless face as she observes the situation and finally sighs.

“Sorry, li’l Edreale. We’ve finished them too quickly so there’s no left for you, eh, there’s still that old demon, though. I forgot,” said Alfred with a shrug.

“…” Edreale stared at Alfred for a while before shifting her gaze and ignore him.

“I-ignoring me, huh… that’s mean…” (Alfred)

“Alfred, Sen, Edreale. He’s very dangerous, don’t let your guard down,” (Slime)

“Said the one who recklessly charged towards three demon kings alone, huh. But well, at least you don’t ask us to retreat while saying he’s too strong despite being a mere archmage rank magician, right?” said Alfred with a shrug.

“Yeah, well, it seems that if I don’t empower myself a bit more, I’ll end up being a nuisance, huh. Lend me your power, [Ren Arken],” (Slime)

Dense dark mana suddenly surrounds Slime, making a black typhoon of death mana. After a while, the typhoon dispersed leaving Slime with a strange black armor different from the one he is using before, and a huge black greatsword replaced his magic halberd.

Alfred, Sen, and Edreale saw the scene with a shocked gaze.

“T-that is…?” (Alfred)

“Hm? Just another card under my sleeves,” Slime answered indifferently.

“Then I think you need to use all of it. Or you’ll lose, I believe you know that, right, human?” Gusion cut in their conversation.

“Indeed… But shame, I think that this is the last card I possess, demon,” said Slime with a wry smile as he finally realized how tremendous the demonic mana leaking out from Gusion right now.

“You have such strength, you would be able to save the other two demon kings when we fought them just now, why don’t you save them?” Asked Slime.

“We don’t need useless fools like them to bear the name of a demon [King]! And their treasures, territories, and castles will be my bonus of winning this war, after all. There are lots of things I could gain from their death, and of course, from yours too, humans,” (Gusion)

“You filthy demons,” (Edreale)

“Hmph! [Demonic Knights]!” Snorted Gusion as he summoned six demonic knights clad in red full-body battle armor.

“As expected of Gusion the summoner, you sure have a lot of demonic monsters that you could summon…” (Slime)

“Hm? You know my nickname. Then did you also know the difference between the top 20 demons [King]s and those below?” Asked Gusion.

“Hm?” (Slime)

Tap!

A single tap to the ground.

But by that single tap, Gusion had just shown how great his strength is, and the reason why he still has such confidence facing Tarot’s and Grandaria’s armies alone.

“A-are you kidding me…? J-just how many could he summon…?” (Alfred)

Tens.

Hundreds.

Thousands.

Tens of thousands of demonic magic circles appeared surrounding Gusion.

“Behold, the personal army of Gusion the great summoner,” (Gusion)
