Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Ch.104-200+

Chapter 178 - Black Corps vs The Empire Army - First Part -

There existed within the Beast Corps, those that excelled in aerial combat.

However, that was only possible provided stable foothold.

For the Demonic Beasts who were inferior in continuous flight ability, combat in the skies put them at a disadvantage. After all, their landing spots were easily predictable, they would be sniped, and that would be the end of them.

In spite of that, the 7,700 Berserk Demonic Beast, and the 4,500 berserk Beastman all faced themselves towards the sky.

Up until now they weren’t able to recognize friend from foe, and simply attacked each other――

They had been ejected out at the surface deck of the 200 Airships, a spot you could hardly call spacious.

It wasn’t narrow, but nor was it wide enough to move freely around in.

That was why, they had followed their instincts and began to show off their strength.

――but, all turned towards the skies.

The reason was simple and clear.

Their instincts flared, something like the fundamental root of terror, a “Danger”, they noticed it coming closer.

Testarossa simply scowled at them with an uninterested look.

What she witnessed was a group of idiots thrashing about aboard the Airship she planned to present to Demon Lord Rimuru.

Then, she was fed up with the group of visibly insane beasts flying towards her.

(Ah? So gross. If I don’t clean this up soon, I’ll be covered in filth.

And……despite being beasts, to misjudge bravery for such suicidal stupidity, how foolish.

But then――If you’ve gone mad, I guess it can’t be helped.

At the very least, accept my merciful blessing!)

Thinking so, with neither hesitation nor inaccuracy she released “Death Streak” at a location where the Airships were densely packed.

All Airships within the range of a perfect sphere were stricken with death.

The “Death Ray” also affected the oceans, and all exposed sea life perished.

「Can’t you hold back a little!? We can’t get a turn this way can we? 」

Venom asked Testarossa bewildered,

「You’re still no good.

Please take a good look. There are some survivors see?」

She said, ridiculing the shallowness of Venom’s experience.

Testarossa’s 『Magic Perception』 had certainly grasped the presence of several survivors.

Demonic Beasts held the properties of both monster and beast, the flesh they were bound to was a big factor. In other words, they couldn’t endure “Death Streak”.

Even if they were to take on a demonic beast’s strength with a human base, in the end, the flesh it was bound to would be destroyed by the “Death Ray”.

In other words, those who survived under the effects of this spell were either Spirit Forms, or those who had perfect compatibility with demonic elements.

No, they could perhaps also be Sages who had acquired perfect control over their bodies.

In any case, only those who had surpassed a certain threshold could endure it.
