"Let me tell you another piece of good news. It seems that your Miss Jing is following them and is looking for an opportunity to rescue the students. But you should be able to imagine what will happen to her in the end, right?"
Seeing Rimuru's wavering expression, Xiao Si said cheerfully, "But don't worry, that Kagurazaka Yuuki seems to have some feelings for Miss Shizuka, so he won't harm her life."
"You make me even more worried when you say that!"
Rimuru complained.
"By the way, you know where they are, right? If that's the case—"
"No, if you run over and attack them now, you can certainly stop them, but according to my calculations, there will definitely be casualties."
Xiao Si interrupted.
"I have to be on guard against Kunoa this time, so I can't spare any time. Therefore, the most suitable battlefield for you is the church. Because the enemy knows that they are definitely no match for us in a head-on battle, so the preparations they made are actually just to delay time. Their purpose is to steal the holy ark that seals Kunoa."
“Well, and one more thing, Rimuru, remember to call Milim along for this operation, because there is an opponent that is too difficult for you and Luminas to deal with alone, and that opponent is related to Milim.”
Hearing the arrangements made by Xiao Si, Rimuru couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He suddenly wanted to observe a moment of silence for the enemy, because looking at Xiao Si's appearance, it seemed that all the enemy's actions were just dancing in Xiao Si's palm. The script and the stage had already been arranged.
"You guessed right. I already know exactly how they will act, but what I am worried about now is how the sealed Kunoa will act..."
"Lord Lucifer, may I ask what this means? Chronoa is clearly still sealed."
"It is indeed possible to seal a normal Kunoa, but if Kunoa is already abnormal, can your seal still seal a being that has surpassed the Ultimate? I cannot calculate Kunoa's actions at the moment, so if I force the deduction...
It is very likely that the monster will awaken early. The reason why the Holy Ark is silent now is because I am currently suppressing it. "
Xiao Si said scary words, and although every word was true, in fact it couldn't be more false, because even if Kunoya woke up, he could not be her opponent. However, she was here telling everyone how terrifying Kunoya is and didn't mention this matter at all.
[Chapter 92: Yuuki Kagurazaka]
"Yuuki, why let that woman live? She has lost the power she had as a hero. She is completely useless."
"...I think she will be a very good hostage. As far as I know, she should have been killed by Demon King Rimuru, but she is here now. So I think her relationship with Demon King Rimuru is not simple, and maybe I can use her."
“Aren’t those students enough?”
"At this point, the strength of Demon Lord Rimuru is unknown. I think the more hostages the better."
"Go down."
Maria Belle looked at Yuuki Kagurazaka from behind, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes. But that was impossible. Because this guy was under the control of his own abilities, he would never betray her. In other words, Yuuki Kagurazaka's actions were indeed based on the idea he just mentioned? For now, it's like this, but it seems necessary to pay attention.
However, she does not plan to show up in this operation, so when the time comes, she only needs to pay more attention to Yuuki Kagurazaka's actions to figure out this problem.
Kagurazaka Yuuki returned to his room. He didn't look like he was being controlled at all. He smiled and said, "As expected of Maria, she's already starting to get suspicious. I originally thought she was the type who believed in her abilities."
Laplace and other clowns were waiting for Yuuki in the room. When they saw him come back and heard what he said, they showed different reactions. It seemed that they had known for a long time that Yuuki was not under control. As for them, it goes without saying that Maria's skills were limited, and the number of people she could control was limited.
“Wouldn’t that be terrible? Boss, you’re under suspicion.” Laplace looked frightened.
Clayman looked calm.
"That woman is after all an enemy of Lucifer-sama, so it's not surprising that she has this level of ability. But Yuuki-sama, do you really think we have a way out after doing this? Let's not talk about Demon King Rimuru for now, but Lucifer-sama is not that easy to fool."
"Our goal is only the secret weapon hidden in the church. As long as we get that weapon, we will abandon Maria and flee to the Eastern Empire. Even if Demon Lord Lucifer is a monster, he can't be the enemy of the entire Eastern Empire, right?" Yuuki said confidently. He had already made full preparations. After knowing that Demon Lord Rimuru's camp had the existence of two monsters, Veldora and Lucifer, he decided to temporarily give up the Western Continent.
If he wanted to fight against those two monsters, perhaps only the guardian dragon god of the Eastern Empire and the legendary emperor of the Empire could do it. And the Empire had always wanted to invade the Western Continent, so it would be easy to deal with it. After contacting the informant on the Empire's side, he had already prepared to flee to the Empire. It was just that Maria's plan made him see the possibility.
The legendary hero who sealed Veldora turned out to be the secret weapon of the Holy Church. If it was a weapon, it could be controlled. Maria wanted to control this weapon, and so did Yuuki Kagurazaka. As long as he got this weapon, he could flee to the Eastern Empire and instigate a war between the East and West Continents. Then, in order to deal with those monster-like demon kings, the Empire would inevitably mobilize all its forces. At that time, he could take advantage of the vacancy in the Empire to launch a coup against the Empire, and then come out to destroy the already low-health demon king.
However, this is the most ideal situation. Even if he fails to achieve the optimal goal, he can take over the entire empire. It is worth it anyway.
As for clearing his suspicion through Maria, continuing to cooperate with Demon King Rimuru, and helping Demon King Rimuru realize his naive ideal, this is impossible. He, Kagurazaka Yuuki, is not the kind of person who will give up easily. It is impossible for him to give up his ambitions for many years just because of a little setback. Even if Demon King Rimuru shows his terrible power now, he doesn't think he will lose.
Thinking of the secret weapon that was about to be in his hands, Yuuki said to Clayman, "Tomorrow's frontal assault is up to you, Clayman. With Miss Shizuka and those students here, you only need to contain the actions of Rimuru and Lucifer. At that time, Laplace and I will sneak in together to steal the Holy Ark."
"I understand. As soon as I receive the signal, I will abandon the hostages and go to the rendezvous point to meet you. My mission is just a feint after all."
“That’s right, little Clayman. You have a heavy task ahead of you. Tia, Footman, you two must take good care of Clayman and don’t let him be controlled by his impulses.”
Laplace warned carefully.
In his impression, after becoming the Demon King, Clayman sometimes behaved too impulsively. He was afraid that Clayman would be affected by the impulse tomorrow. After all, the opponent was too strong, and Clayman would definitely die if he did this.
"Laplace, you should worry about your own mission. You may run into Lord Lucifer. If you do run into him, I suggest you
I suggest you give up resistance and surrender." Clement retorted unceremoniously.
Laplace looked thoughtful.
"I will seriously consider it."
Yuuki said with a smile at this time.
"It's okay. I believe Laplace's ability will be enough to delay time."
Clement shut his mouth when he heard that.
He had reminded them many times in advance, but these guys were so confident. In this case, he had nothing to say. Thinking of this, he just silently compiled the situation here into a missing report and secretly sent it to the master. Even if the master did not reply to him for a long time, he still carried out his work.
......
same time.
In the church, the Paladins were fully prepared to meet the enemy. The former hero Grundar, wearing a butler's uniform and holding a legendary holy sword, stood in front of the church, responsible for the first line of defense. Inside were two vampire demon kings, Roy and Ray. They had a secret skill to combine and could exert the power of demon kings when necessary. Luminas was personally guarding the throne in the deeper part. In the secret room where the holy ark was sealed, the strongest and last line of defense, Lucypher, was here.
And outside the church.
Demon Lord Rimuru and his subordinate Aster.
Demon Lord Milim and her subordinate Karion.
The Holy Knights led by Hinata Sakaguchi.
It is difficult to break through these three lines of defense.
It's definitely hell level!
At this time, Maria and Yuuki had no idea what kind of hell was waiting for them.
[Chapter 93: The operation to snatch the brave begins]
The next morning.
A solemn atmosphere spread in front of the church. Facing the enemy's attack, the church gave up the front-line defense and concentrated all its forces in the center. Because this time it was clear what the enemy's purpose was, it made such an extreme deployment.
Rimuru looked at the terrifying scene in front of him and said worriedly, "Will they really come? This lineup makes me want to run away."
Apart from anything else, from the moment Demon Lord Milim and Xiao Si appeared here, there was no chance of fighting. He was really worried that the enemy would run away, and then he would not be able to rescue Miss Jing and his students.
Just as he was thinking this, a powerful magic power shot towards the church from a distance, he looked over and saw a beam of light cannon colliding with the church's barrier. Although the power of the magic cannon was amazing, the church's barrier had been upgraded by Xiao Si. Judging from Xiao Si's actions, he was sure that this magic cannon could not break through the barrier.
The facts were just as he expected.
On the surface, the magic cannon seemed to have canceled out the barrier in the air, but Rimuru noticed that the base of the barrier around it was still intact, which meant that this phenomenon was obviously a deliberate act.
But the enemy could not possibly know this. After all, only a few people, including him, knew the truth about the existence of those bases. Even many paladin captains thought that those bases were just decorations.
“Milim-sama!”
At this time, Karion's shout startled Rimuru and the others, and they saw Demon King Milim flying out with a serious face. The direction she was heading was exactly where the magic cannon appeared. This was different from the originally agreed formation. They had not thought of taking the initiative to attack, but Rimuru thought of Xiao Si's arrangement and felt that Milim's actions were probably also arranged. In fact, he had already sensed the dragon energy.
“Milim’s dragon?… So that’s why we have to bring Milim along. If a dragon king of that level were to break in, it would really be troublesome.”
Rimuru looked up into the sky and saw Milim fighting with a gigantic dragon king. However, it was obvious that Milim seemed a little restrained, so it seemed that someone had to go over to provide support.
However, before he could start to act, a group of familiar figures appeared in front of him. The masked figure was undoubtedly Miss Jing, and the children behind her were his students. There were also some unknown guys beside him, but they were also dressed like people from another world. Their appearance gave Rimuruton time to react. It was obvious that this was the opponent prepared for him. He suppressed his anger and went to meet them.
"Aster, remember to hold back."
"Yes."
Accompanied by Aster's ground-shattering strike.
The battle with Demon Lord Rimuru also begins.
When Demon Lord Rimuru and his subordinate Aster were fighting against the troops from another world, Hinata stopped the Paladins who wanted to take action. If the Paladins intervened at this time, it would not be a support but would cause trouble for Rimuru.
Because Rimuru wanted to use the King of Wisdom to lift the curse on Miss Shizuka and the others, not to kill this army. He had discussed this matter with Hinata a long time ago. And because he believed in the power of his partners, he could devote himself to this matter.
But in this case, the enemy's strategies can be said to have all been successful. Demon Lord Milim and Demon Lord Rimuru have been completely tied up. It should be time for the real boss to appear next, and the remaining Paladins are actually the weakest line of defense among the three major lines of defense.
Everything seemed to be arranged as planned, but I didn't know who arranged all this.
Clayman, along with Footman the Clown and Tia, appeared before the Paladins.
With his elegant black coat, white hair and weird appearance, he looks a lot like the legendary vampire.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Clayman. I've been invited to come here to provide support. Paladins of the church, please fight with me for a few moves."
“Tsk, you really underestimated us by arranging a last-ranked demon king like Clayman as our opponent!” A knight captain attacked Clayman. As a saint who thought he was a match for the demon king, he originally thought that he could stop Clayman alone, but the next moment he felt a sharp pain in his brain.
"Uhhhhhh!"
The next moment, the knight captain unleashed his own moves towards the Paladins, and Clement controlled him without even moving.
While the other knight captains were regrouping, Sakaguchi Hinata attacked Clayman alone. At this moment, she was wearing the strongest spiritual outfit and holding a legendary holy sword in her hand. She was said to be in a state strong enough to deal with the strongest dragon species Veldora, and was the only one who could compete with the awakened Demon King. However, facing Hinata's sudden attack, Clayman's expression did not change, because Footman and Tia had already stepped forward to block this strongest paladin.
Footman and Tia's magic energy is close to that of an awakened Demon King, and coupled with their special systems, they successfully suppressed Hinata for a while. Facing two clowns with holy and demonic bodies, one is specialized in defense, and the other is specialized in attack, it is difficult for Hinata to break through the combination of these two clowns alone. After all, Hinata is just a saint (Demon King) now. Even with the blessing of spiritual equipment and holy sword, he is only barely close to the level of a true Demon King.
But the combination of Tia and Footman is not inferior to Hinata at all. After all, both of them are close to the level of true demon king, and it is two against one. Even if they can't win, they can still delay Hinata's actions.
Clayman showed the power of the awakened demon king. The so-called saint who was comparable to the demon king was no match for the awakened demon king who possessed the ultimate power. As long as they got close to Clayman, they would be forcibly dominated. This one move alone was enough to suppress the Paladins. The strongest captain-level combat power failed to play a role and instead became Clayman's puppet.
If Clement had not held back, the Paladins would most likely have been wiped out facing him. Currently, he was just playing along with the Paladins. After all, his mission was only to feint, attract attention and delay time.
At this time, Laplace and Yuuki Kagurazaka used Laplace's ability to sneak into the inner courtyard of the church, but they had just emerged from the space teleportation when they suffered a terrible blow. A "Demon Spirit Slash" shocked the two for a moment.
“Maria really isn’t giving up. But if this is all you can do, then stop here. You won’t be able to get past me.” The former hero Granbell held the holy sword in his hand and looked at the clown Laplace and Kagurazaka Yuuki in front of him.
Of course, they are no strangers to each other.
"It's a problem, Boss. Maria didn't tell us that old man Rosso has joined the church."
Laplace stamped his feet on the spot, looking like a panicked clown, and looked very distressed.
Yuuki Kagurazaka narrowed his eyes.
"Laplace, I leave it to you."
"Eh? No way, boss!"
Laplace screamed and pounced on Granbell, seemingly showing off, but the moment he heard the order, the clown's body had already taken action.
"You didn't run away from me, but challenged me. You are so brave, young man."
Granbell sneered.
With another sword strike, Laplace flew out. At the same time, he raised his left arm to block Yuuki Kagurazaka's flying kick. His terrifying physical ability did not seem like that of an old man who had lived for thousands of years and was about to lie in a coffin. Yuuki Kagurazaka quickly turned over in the air and launched two consecutive kicks, then jumped out to create distance.
“It’s a powerful kick.”
Granbell commented.
Just like a senior instructing a junior, so far he still seems to be able to handle it with ease.
"Oh no, boss, this old guy is in trouble." Laplace felt that the strength that Granbell had shown now was not all.
Granbell looked at Laplace.
Just like Laplace felt about him, he also felt that there was something wrong with this clown, but he couldn't see any problems at the moment, and if he encountered something wrong, he could use the privileges given to him by the adults. Unless Laplace's hidden strength reached the awakening level or above, the two of them would never be able to break through him.
[Chapter 94: Yuuki's Melancholy]
In front of the sacred courtyard.
The originally beautiful and pure flowers were destroyed by the fight between several people. Yuuki Kagurazaka and Laplace tried various means to break through the barrier of Granbell, but this old man was like a stubborn old stone. No matter what means they used, they could not move away from where he was standing, giving Yuuki Kagurazaka no chance to slip in. As time passed, Yuuki Kagurazaka and the others' situation would only become worse.
Yuuki Kagurazaka was secretly anxious.
He didn't expect that just the first level here would be so difficult to break through. This old man, Grambell, was hiding too deeply. He didn't know that this old man had such strong strength before.
Since Granbell is so strong, how strong is Luminas who is said to be even stronger than Granbell?
How powerful was Lucifer, who was rumored to be almost a god, even though there wasn't much news about him? Just thinking about these things made his scalp tingle.
But things had come to this point, and he had no way out and could only continue.
"Boss, I'm leaving it to you now!"
"Laplace?"
Just when Kagurazaka Yuuki was in a dilemma, Laplace noticed his worries and sacrificed himself to take Granbell's sword. Under the surprised eyes of the old man, Laplace grabbed his shoulders and used his unique skills to teleport outside, opening the way for Kagurazaka Yuuki. However, Laplace who took that sword could not have paid without paying a price. At this moment, the strongest chess piece in Kagurazaka Yuuki's hand could be said to have retired. Laplace was so badly injured that he could no longer be a match for Granbell.
But if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to break through Granbell. Although Laplace did have hidden strengths, those strengths couldn't be used under normal circumstances. They could only be used when Laplace occasionally recalled his past memories. But Laplace didn't have much confidence in being able to use his hidden strength, so he made this choice, because they didn't have much time.
When Rimuru rescues all the hostages, the outer front will begin to collapse completely. Clayman can deal with the Paladins, but he can never be a match for the two demon lords, Rimuru and Milim.
