Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 114

Well, today’s match, It can be said that Benimaru was blessed with his opponents. Although he had a good match against Souei, his other matches were with lower rank people like Gozurl and a win by default with Gobuta. On the other hand, Diablo was against three strong people. The former Demon Lord Karion, and my greatest masterpiece Beretta the Saint Demon Doll. And at the end was Shion. His opponents were powerful people of Demon Lord Class, yet he defeated them all. In any case, if he wins against Benimaru in today’s match. There’ll be no objection against calling him the strongest in Tempest. Well, how will it turn out? Today’s live report will be conducted by Souka alone. Milim left taking Gobuta with her. Apparently she said she will retrain Gobuta for a whole day, she didn’t seem interested in the final match. Although I don’t know if it is a good or bad thing for Gobuta, it might be rare occasion to receive training and other things from Milim personally. I want him to do his best as much as possible. It seems he trained together with Karion-san the Lion Mask too, they should become good friends. Oh well, while praying for Gobuta’s safety, let’s watch the match.   「Well then it’s the last match! Final match, begin!!」 

  On Souka’s yell the match began.

  Kufufufufu. Diablo rejoiced, joy gushing forth from deep inside his mind. The one who summoned him was truly, a very wonderful Master. Though he lived for a long time, he’d never come across a fight that made his heart pound like this. For him, fighting meant trampling down the opponent. The weak were only to be trampled down and get killed. After all, it’s because there were only a few people that were able to hurt him who was a resident of the spirit world. Even when he rarely manifested in the physical world, it was very simple for him to slaughter people who lived there within the time he stayed there. That also includes the Summoner. After all, not knowing his own standing, the Summoner summoned Diablo who was a high rank being... It can only be said that it was a foolish act, he couldn’t even protest if he retired from the living. To begin with, what kind of race is Demon RaceDemon? In the ancient past, during the time when the Spirits of Light and Dark were born, receiving the blessing of light, the Angel’s Egg was laid, and receiving the wave of darkness the Demon’s Seed was sowed. At the same time when Spirit of Time was born, the egg hatched, and the seed budded. The two were born as a conceptual existence with a pure energy body without a physical body That was the origin of Angels and Demons. The mysterious thing was that the Angels and Demons that were born at the same time were on bad terms. When they meet, fighting is unavoidable, long fights were repeatedly fought. However, because the effects of their fights were too large, unknowingly once in every 500 years they’ll only fight for seven days, such an agreement was made. For Diablo who finds pleasure in fighting, such a peaceful period was the most tedious time. For them who don’t have physical bodies, they don’t have the ability to interfere with the physical world. That’s why, he rejoiced when the summons from the new Demon Lord came, it marked the end of his monotonous time. That Demon Lord (Rimuru) said.   『I prepared thy food (body), come forth  Demon. Be helpful and serve me!』

He was summoned and named! He felt so intuitionally. He annihilated the small friesdemons who tried to steal the march, and then he put on a nonchalant look. And so, he obtained it. A new body and a Master who was worthy for him to pledge his allegiance to. That body adapted to him, the body transformed into one he wished for by liberally spending the saved magic power that he hadn’t used before. In addition, his Master (Rimuru) had evolved into a true Demon Lord. He felt the influx of energy overflowing into him and replenishing the consumed magic power. And, the most decisive thing, he was given a name. The body that was made from magic power that had been saved up over a long time, the empty body was fully injected with magic power, and when he receives a name his form stabilized. For him, fighting meant trampling down the opponent. That’s why he doesn’t have any interest in strength. After all, it’s because he doesn’t have any memory of having a hard fight. Even in fight against the Angel, it was just a massacre and a usual thing for him. Therefore, when the saved up magic power was completely consumed, he became a powerful person worthy to be called a Demon Duke. Even in the Demon world, there is no existence that is higher than him. Right now, he could stably use his experience that he had acquired over a very long time, he might really become an existence proportional to a True Demon Lord. Even Diablo can’t see the limit of his Master Rimuru. For the first time Diablo realized there is a sky above the sky.[1] And, for him that didn’t have any interest in strength till now, Diablo also began to wish for strength after being inspired by his monster friends. 1st place. That was a proof of being the highest among the monster subordinates of Demon Lord Rimuru. It was the proof of being the most useful and trusted person. What a sweet sound that titillated the mind. “By all costs, the seat of 1st rank must be mine.” So Diablo thought. Shion who proposed the ranking, was defeated by him. But, he also admits Shion was the strongest oni, since she was his opponent for the semifinal. It’s not possible to let down his guard. (Kufufufufu. However, the one who win this is me!) While Diablo looks forward to the fight, he doesn’t doubt his victory.   「.......Final match, Begin!!」

  In response to Souka’s yell, he distanced himself from Diablo in an instant. Tricks and lukewarm techniques are meaningless. The right choice is to challenge the opponent with the strongest skill with maximum power. That was the decision Benimaru took after watching the defeated Lion Mask’s and Shion’s battle, It was decided in the beginning! 

  A black ball as big as a fist flies towards Diablo. There is no attempt from Diablo to avoid it, the formation of the magic circle is completed immediately, and a dome of 3m in diameter was formed with Diablo at its center. Unlike the one from before, it’s loaded with enormous magic power. It was the successful compression of Hell Fire, which had an unparalleled power which cannot be resisted. Just like Benimaru, Diablo also has resistance against Natural Effects, but it’s useless against the nullification attribute of the black flame. When the dome is completed, Benimaru’s victory will be guaranteed, or at least that’s what should happen.   「Kufufufufu. If I receive this attack straight ahead, it will be dangerous. Paradise Time (Time of Allurement)[2].」

This was surely the most dreadful aspect of he who had diligently mastered this ability. Also the reason why Diablo deliberately let himself received the attacks from his opponent, was only to reconfirm the result from his analytical appraisal. In case of some techniques, he could even steal it just by seeing it   「Tch, just by looking, my technique was sealed......」

  「Kufufufufu. Please stop being pretentious. You still have a trump card, right? You will die if you aren’t really serious when receiving my technique, you know!」

  Benimaru was blown off and rolled over on the ground when the stopped time began to move again. Even though the sense of pain was nullified, his whole body was in pain, he noticed that this was a sign that his life was in danger. Diablo asks Benimaru with carefree tone, but Benimaru had no time to reply. Rather, to receive End of World inside of Paradise Time and still be capable of safely standing would be abnormal. However, he didn’t care about such thoughts, Benimaru believed that he himself was worthless. 

  「Kufufufufu. It’s Benimaru indeed!」

  Benimaru discarded his hesitation, and had his mind focus. In the first place, there is a guy who improves greatly during a fight. If you say recently, it’s Gobuta. “If that Idiot can, there’s no way I can’t!” is the simplest answer Benimaru came up with. (I’ll do it. I will not let this bastard look down on my power...!!!!) And while calming his mind, a thick aura enclosed his whole body. He invoked the『Demon Flame Transformation』, the injury on his body is healed. At the same time, he fused the thick aura and the black flame into one. There are no ripples in it, a beautiful dark red aura covers his entire body and the preparation was complete. It didn’t even take more than a second.   「I will become serious next. Don’t resent me even if you die, okay?」

  「Scissors of EndLife’s Harvest![7]」 「RebirthInterment Blast of Flamethe Hazy Black Flame!![8]」

  「Ku, Kufufufufu....... Splendid. This is the first time in my lifethat I tasted defeat....... 

  「E, eetto....... It’s victory for Contestant Benimaru!!」
