Chapter 185 -The Start of a New Game

185. The Beginning of a New Game

I confronted Yuuki, and we began to size each other up.

And in the middle of the tense atmosphere,

「Oh yeah, I was wondering…… How did you find this place?」

Yuuki asked.

He seemed to be either bold or stupid.

Who even asks this kind of question to the enemy?

「I ain’t supposed to tell you that man!」

「Ah, I guess that’s right?

I didn’t really expect an answer, and I guess Rimuru-san isn’t that gullible huh.」

Yuuki shrugged as if disappointed.

Well, he probably isn’t.

He probably kept talking, to try and find out my weaknesses.

Actually, just like Diablo said, Moss’ recon was perfect.

He had sent out both an appropriately sized dummy body, and a mini body.

It didn’t matter if the big one got found.

Rather, the plan was to let the enemy find it, and let their guard down, while the smaller clone would remain in contact without them suspecting a thing.

As one of them got found out and destroyed, the other would use that chance to get into camouflage.

Really, his abilities was excellent for this kind of work.

Now then, let’s recap.

First, the strategic victory conditions from before recovering Veldora.

1. Recover Veldora.

2. Eliminate the threat.

3. Annihilate the Imperials.

Of those, most of the work was done.

One could say operation complete. The only thing left would be the releasing (finishing off) the Emperor.

In that case, the new victory conditions,

1. Recover Chloe.

2. Finish off the Emperor.

3. Finish off Yuuki.

Would become like that.

The most important and given most priority was the task of recovering Chloe.

But as long as there were the three Wishes (Orders), I couldn’t just take her back.

Worst case, there was the option to eat Chloe and use Soul Analysis to try and find a way to break the curse……

Even with Wisdom Lord Raphael doing the Soul Analysis, there was a big risk of failure.

If possible, only after eliminating the controller = Yuuki, should I calmly start working on the curse.

In any case, I wanted to finish things before Yuuki made Chloe do anything.

Similar to Rimuru planning his bout with Yuuki, the latter also, looking at the unexpected situation, let out a sigh.

When he noticed the spy, he did anticipate something like this, but of the things he anticipated, this was the worst of the worst, and he couldn’t help but sigh.

(Geez, can’t you just leave me alone……)

In any case, he needed to do something about this.
