Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 134

Leon vs Yuuki –Part Two-  

The battle between Leon and Yuuki began.

The air flickered with light, and the ground was blown away by the shock. Even Chloe who hadn’t moved was hit by the aftermath of the shock. Kagali who hid behind Chloe, ducked her head and opened her eyes wide.   「Time,time out! What in the world is happening here!?」

  「At a glance, the situation seems even. However.....」 「――however？」

  Chloe remained silent for a while,

  「Hmm. Whatever. Although I will declare something too, Yuuki-sama will not be defeated. Definitely.」

  Kagali asked Claude who had stood up.

He kept thinking as warded off the blow from the light that was unleashed towards him. He could feel that his energy was reduced by a large amount when warding attacks. If this situation continued, his defeat was merely a matter of time. Yuuki’s ability specialized in stealing things. Its main use was to take the enemy’s energy. With this ability, he could recover his power while he attacked, so normally this ability could be called omnipotent in attack and defense. That’s the case when the opponent is not Leon. The attribute of Leon’s ability is Light=Purification. This attribute specialized in purifying demons, in other words, it’s an ability fitting for a Hero. Because this person was a Demon Lord, Yuuki couldn’t help but feel that the ironic situation was a great big joke. Though there was no use in complaining, Yuuki’s acquired ability was part of the demon series[1], meaning it had a demonic attribute[2]. Every time he attacked, he received purification, meaning he received damage. Much of the energy that he’d stolen had been purified. Furthermore, he couldn’t evade the opponent’s attack and he can’t help but to notice the large amount of damage he received with each encounter. (This isn’t good, right? I will lose if this situation continues.) He thought about his next plan optimistically. In the worst case scenario, he could involve Chloe. However, he wished to avoid that. It would become difficult to lead the world to destruction if he did that. The reason was simple. It would become impossible for him to defeat the strongest entities in this world known as Guy Crimson and Milim Nava. And Rimuru as well. Yuuki’s intuition told him that the Slime he met was an abnormality. Its growth speed was abnormal, and his gaze was impenetrable. That gaze felt uncomfortable, so he had judged that it was impossible to ignore Rimuru. (—I never thought that Rimuru-san could see through my true nature…Still, I get the feeling it will be dangerous if I don’t get rid of that person quickly.) For such a thing, it was preferable to use Chloe. Two strong people and one dangerous person. Yuuki had judged Milim was someone that could easily be deceived. Therefore the real problem was Guy and Rimuru. Yuuki felt uneasy leaving Guy as Chloe’s only opponent. Therefore he was going to get rid of Rimuru. After that, he would make Chloe fight Guy, it was a plan to get rid of the two of them at the same time. It seemed it would be difficult to defeat Rimuru later if he used Chloe now. Feeling such a premonition, Yuuki didn’t give Chloe an order. Well then, what did he need to do right now? The best he could do in the contract he made with Chloe was for her not to disrupt Yuuki’s decree. However it wasn’t a problem for petty orders. Chloe probably was a good natured person, so if he requested it of her, she might listen. But withdrawing from here would still be impossible even if she protected Yuuki and the rest. (If it had been Rimuru and Ruminas that had come over, it would have gone just as planned…) Yuuki let out a sigh and decided to discard his hesitation and use his trump card. He regretted that he had misunderstood Leon’s strength, and after he escaped he needed to reflect on this. He needed to make a decision soon, since his eminent defeat wouldn’t be a joke.   「Haha, Leon. I’m sorry. I underestimated you too much. Therefore, I’ve decide to use my trump card!」

In the past, the originator of the dragon race, “Star King Dragon Veldanava,” had given his daughter a dragon as guardian (pet)[3]. The dragon possessing great power had fallen into a trap and was killed by a certain kingdom. When the girl, it’s master, evolved, its body was changed into a chaos dragon, full of fiendish power. Unfortunately, it lacked a soul, making it transcend beyond the confines of good and evil into an incarnation of destruction. It was said that the girl, grieving over the sad twist of fate, sealed the dragon where nobody would find it. However, after many years and months had passed, miasma[4] was released from its body, running the surrounding nature. Naturally, the Freedom Association received requests to investigate the cause of the wicked miasma.   「Awaken, Chaos Dragon! Your true master is me!」

  Erasing his expression, Yuuki gave an order to the Chaos Dragon. Kill the enemy before you! The Chaos Dragon was certainly strong. Its power was second to the “Dragon Kind” and seemed to reign as the strongest monster that appeared in nature. However, this mindless monster didn’t have any wisdom. It was an incarnation of violence that just rampaged and attacked without reason. In case the previous Demon Lords hadn’t awakened, it might have exceeded them in brute force and overwhelming energy. However… Leon was a genius, moreover his attribute was Light=Purification. His existence was such that could be called the natural enemy of the Chaos Dragon.   「I will say it once more. You are underestimating me. The reason I deliberately gave you time for the summoning was to showthe difference between our powers and that what you have done today, in this place, is fruitless.  I will show you a piece of my power!」   Leon was wrapped in a golden light whilehe talked. Golden Wings, constructed with pure light energy, appeared on his back. His wings resembled the wings of the angel race, but in reality his wings were totally a stream of light itself. And, he held the Flame Pillar (Holy Flame Rapier)[5], which had manifested in his right hand.

  A small tetrahedron with four pillars made from crystallized spirits grew large and in accordance to Leon’s will, it wrapped around the Chaos Dragon. This was the ultimate holy attribute barrier that even surpassed Holy Field. The Barrier that Leon had constructed was given the [effect：eternity], where the captured person was confined. It was a high-class sealing technique that rivaled『Infinite Prison』. No, the effect may even surpass『Infinite Prison』if the target had a demonic attribute.

  Leon looked at Yuuki and spoke mercilessly. Leon had completely settled the situation in his favor and Yuuki’s chance of victory could be deemed as nonexistent. But,

  Exactly as stated by Yuuki, his both hands were covered with dragon scales,his body is was covered by the same miasma that had covered the Chaos Dragon not long ago. It was almost like it had transformed into an ominous black armor resembling the scales of dragon. Leon recalled the buried barrier to himself,

  He shouted at Yuuki. The Chaos Dragon became bone, it weathered and then crumbled. It was the result of the dragon losing its power. Just as Yuuki had said, he had deprived it of its very core. With this, Milim’s wrath is! The moment Leon thought about that――

  Yuuki leapt behind Leon’s with a speed incomparable to before. And delivered a strong kick to Leon’s back. Yuuki, who had taken the power of the dragon,had become a Dragon Warrior.He put more effort into the fight, 

  Golden lights were emitted intensely and completely dyed the area pure white. Inside the torrent of light that blinded people’s eyes was Leon who stood glaring angrily at Yuuki, his body wrapped in white-gold armor. The 36 pairs of 72 wings appeared once more on his back. They had vanished when he had used barrier before, but it manifest again when Leon’s virtually unlimited holy aura was released.   Light Angel Leon vs Dragon Warrior Yuuki 

  The fight was settled in an instant. Leon, who burned with anger, delivered intense attacks towards Yuuki without giving him the chance to counterattack. With a flowing elegant thrusting speed that approach the speed of light, Leon’s Flame Pillar made Yuuki’s entire body instantly became bloody. The ominous black armor that was the crystallization of the Chaos Dragon’s power was smashed to pieces, unable to withstand the sword endowed with the power of purification. As for the difference in power, the gap was vast, like that between an adult and a child. (Damn, it can’t be... to this extent...) Yuuki, felt his own ego weakening, seemingly disappearing. If this situationcontinued, it would not be not good. If things kept going like this, his defeat was certain. Above all.......

(Not yet, I’m not defeated yet!)   Yuuki gathered up his disappearing consciousness,

  Just as Leon declares the ultimatum, a multi-layered 3D magic circle formed with Leon in the center and took in Yuuki. The magic circle kept radiating and flickering in a radiant color, and then it was completed in an instant.   「Perish, “Holy Breakdown (36th Style Annihilation’s Light of Holy Spirit Purification)[9]”!」

  「So, he escaped, huh」

  「Good grief, I must be more serious.」
  It seems that the goal of obtaining Chloe’s freedom would be delayed a bit longer, since Yuuki had escaped This strategy was a complete failure. It could be said that the moment Yuuki succeeded in retreating, he had strategically won the war. Leon had won the battle but lost the war. As Leon thought of the future, there was a complete lack of the taste of victory, and he sighed.
