Rimuru's POV
Let's go to Ruberios then.
<One minute, master. I suggest that you should go to Milim's territory.>
Huh?
<And also, please send some reinforcements to Ruberios. The situation has changed.>
Can I really not go there?
<Master can, but I will suggest not to do so.>
Fine as you say. Whom should we send there?
<I suggest sending Veldora.>
Alright. Veldora- WAIT. WHAT? VELDORA? WHAT ABOUT TEMPEST?
<Master need not worry, sending black numbers back, along with the labyrinth forces should be enough.>
There is someone as strong as Veldora at Ruberios?
<Affirmative.>
Then why am I going to Milim's territory?
<Because someone even stronger is there.>
Wait. If Zelanus is at Ruberios, who could possibly be at Milim's territory.
<Master's assumption is incorrect. The one at Ruberios is one of the ancient Giants. He was split into the seperate beings, one if which was Dagruel. Now that he has been revived, only someone at the level of Veldora or master can defeat him.>
Fine.
'Veldora.'
'oh! Rimuru. What happened? Could it be that you need my help?'
'Yep. That is exactly what I want.'
'Huh? Oh. Kwahahaha. Of course. I will help you. Kwahaha."
Looks like he didn't expect me to ask him for help.
'I want you to go to Ruberios and help Ruminas.'
'Ukh. That vampire?'
'Yes. That Vampire.'
'But wouldn't she be against it?'
'Yes. But think about this. You sweep in save her just as she was about to lose. Wouldn't that make you look quite cool. And she might just forget what you had done.'
'Kwahaha. That's true. Very well. You can count on me Rimuru.'
'Alright. Thanks Veldora.'
I quickly cut off my thought communication with Veldora and teleport straight to Milim's territory.
The entire place was in chaos. Soldiers were fighting everywhere. But only a few places caught my eye. Milim was fighting someone alone. I am assuming he is Zelanus. Both Frey and Carrion were also fighting someone strong. I am assuming they are the Insectars generals. Obera was also fighting two of the generals. Meanwhile, Carrera was taking on three of the remaining five. Agera and Espirit were fighting one of the remaining two generals. The last general was controlling the Insectars.
I came out right beside Carrera and proceeded to kill two of the three generals she was fighting with a single attack. I had assumed at all the three, but one of them managed to survive by jumping out of the way at just the right moment.
"Rimuru-sama." Carrera said as she bowed.
"Take care of the rest. I will go help Milim."
"Understood."
I quickly moved in to help Milim.
Zelanus's POV
I don't trust Feldway at all. Yet, this was the best choice I had. If I have to keep my race alive. All my generals are already busy fighting, but even with such a force opposing them, Milim still hasn't shown up yet. Looks like I will have to go first.
As soon as I passed through the portal, I was met with a large amount of rampant magicules aimed straight at me. Even though my barrier cracked, it healed itself up in no time.
"Hmm. I didn't expect myself to walk into your trap." I say, turning towards the one who attacked me.
"Haha. You are quite tough. It will be fun to fight you." Milim replied. She was already in her battle form. Looks like she isn't playing around.
She slashes straight at me. I dodge all of the attacks. Each attack is strong enough to level entire mountains. If I had taken them head on, it would have definitely cracked my barrier.
Well, even if it being my barrier, it would nothing to my body Armor.
"Dimensional Wave."
I attack straight at Milim. This attack can pass through all of her barriers. Just like Veldanava-sama, she also has unlimited magicules, so breaking her barrier has no significance.
5 minutes later...
In these 5 minutes, a lot of change has happened with Milim's attack. It's not like she changed her attacking pattern, but her attacks are getting stronger. It's as if the longer she fights, the stronger she becomes. If that is the case, then I really need to finish this now. Killing her could be quite problematic, so I will just def-
*Swish*
A portal suddenly opened and a blue haired individual walked through it. With just one strike, he proceeded to kill two of my generals and critically injured a third one.
The number of people who can do this is really low. Blue hair. Golden eyes. There is no mistaking it. He must be Rimuru. Even though he should be weaker than me, I have this weird sense of unease in me. He turns towards me and approaches me. There is no mistaking it. He is much more dangerous than Milim.
3rd Person POV
As Milim saw Rimuru approaching, she held back from attacking Zelanus, so, both, Milim and Zelanus, looked at the approaching Rimuru, while hovering in the air.
"Whoa. So you guys were waiting for me? Thanks for that. Now that I am here let's start." Rimuru said as soon as he reached the duo.
"You must be demon lord Rimuru." Zelanus spoke.
"My. I am honoured. To be recognised the great Zelanus."
"Shut it. You sound disgusting."
"Hahaha. Well, let's get to the point."
"You are right. I will allow you to retreat now of you want."
"If I had to retreat, I wouldn't have come here in the first place."
"Fine. I will be going all out now."
Rimuru's POV
"Fine. I will be going all out now."
This is the main reason I came here for. If Zelanus goes all out, even Milim will be forced to go all out. And if both of them fight, this world will not survive. So, I came here to create a barrier to hold them.
Similar to what Velzard and Ramiris did for Milim 2000 years ago.
"Milim. No need to hold back. Go all out."
"Alrighty bestie."
I moved aside and created a barrier surrounding the two. Seems like Zelanus didn't resist. Well, it makes sense. If this works is destroyed, then what is the point of even conquering it? All the resources will be destroyed anyway.
I leave all the things related to barrier to Ciel and analyse Zelanus's fighting style. Of course, I could enter the battle as well, but decided not to, just in case, something unforeseen happens.
As Milim and Zelanus continued to fight, the damage done to the barrier kept on increasing. It had gone to the point where Ciel was being forced to used Turn Null to reinforce the barrier.
Zelanus's fighting style is quite unique. To those with untrained eye, it might appear that his fighting style include fighting with brute force, but that is not the case at all. He is constantly using magic to make openings. His control over magic is exquisite and the way he delicately uses his magic might be even more efficient than Shuna. Considering that sheet Ciel, she has the best control over magic, including Guy, it really is a surprise.
As the two continue to clash, I stay to notice a few interesting details. Firstly, Zelanus had done sir of racial skills which makes him impervious to shakes or strikes, but, against blunt attack, like an attack with a mace, he is quite vulnerable.
Secondly, his magicule reserves are large. Large enough to compete with Veldora. It is not greater than Veldora's, but not much smaller either.
And lastly, it seems like Zelanus is still holding back. Even though Milim is getting stronger as time passes by, Zelanus is able to keep up with her.
