Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 40

Orc Disaster   The Chief of the Lizardmen had desperately tried to hold back the incoming attack from the orc soldiers. He divided the troops and sends them forth to the 4 passageway, they will be supporting each other. Since the passageway was not really that large, and the fact that only a few can fight, it was a relief. If you considered the strength of the individuals, the small forces of Lizardmen had higher strength compared the Orc soldiers. At the end of the chamber are the evacuated women and children, and those who can fight are protecting them in the front lines. They were there in case that someone managed to break through from the passage. The Chief observed the war situation and realized that they could not survive more than a day. While he kept switching the troops to let them recover their fatigue, they are still managing to fight decently, even so, between the gap of switching the two teams, they were pushed back little by little. Their current forces was less than 1,200. Even without regrouping, he can see that there were some of the troops that died in battle. Also, another nightmare struck the Chief. The Orc soldiers began to be shrouded in yellow aura. What is this? Was what he thought, but the answer was given immediately. The combat ability of the individual orc was increasing. While they did not drastically grow stronger, they now posed the ability to win against a Lizardmen. Until now, the individual ability of Lizardmen was able to hold them off, but now that advantage was lost.   This is it...The only fate remaining for them is a honorable death. The Chief prepared his resolution. Escaping would be useless, struggling any longer would be useless. Even so.....   [ Listen!!! Women and children shall retreat from this place! Guards, Gather! You guys shall escorts the women and children, keep protecting them to the very end, even if it’s just 1 more person! I will not tolerate anyone who gave up! To obtain the new world (Alt: or to see the future), as many people as possible are needed to survive!!! ]   With all of the dignity he had, he spoke in a loud voice.   [Chief, are you going to do it?]   The Vice captain of the Guards come asking.   [ I know! I won’t let the Orc do as they pleased!    I will show them the strength of Lizardmen !!! ]

  Never show your weaknesses. For him, it was the symbol of strength for the Lizardmens which bring him hope.

[Warriors! Prepare yourself to fight to the death against the Orc! Do not let a single one of them pass! We will buy the woman and children the time they needed to escape!!! ]

  And so, the warriors group becomes inspired. There was no despair in the Lizardmen faces. Even if the opponent was stronger, if it possible for the women and children to escape, it’s their victory. Their future will not cease. After this, it would be a difficult time for them, but that doesn’t mean the end of their species.

  [ [  [U~o o ooooo ! ! ! ]  ]  ]

  They raise their voice to dispel their fear. The cave interior was filled with the Lizardmen war cry and it reverberate with thunderous vibration. Satisfied with the situation, a voice heard from the place where the women and children tried to escape.    [ That’s going to be troubling. Chief-dono, the promise was still not fulfilled yet. Weren’t you supposed to wait here?]   Quietly, there stood a man which nobody unawares of. With darkish skin, bluish black hair. Blue eyes, a demon with height 190 cm. Once, he and the demon had met, which he identified himself as Souei. Have they arrived? No, the alliance was not formed yet. But....

  [ Souei-dono...  Have they arrived? But, we did not follow your advice, we have been disrespectful…] [ Advice...?  What you talking about?  Such thing does not matter at all. All of you please stay in this place. The promise is tomorrow. Tomorrow, My Lord wish to come here personally.]   The promise for alliance, he doesn’t know if it can protect them. But...   [However, we cannot stay here, the Orcs are here!]   Hearing the words, Souei glanced at the passages with the noisy Orc soldiers. He look at them as if he was looking at trash.

  [Those guys noisy stomach certainly can’t calm down.... Very well. I suppose I have to clean them up first. Please wait here for a moment.]   After he said that, he started to calmly walk towards them. Is it illusion? It’s looks as if Souei body start blurring and overlapping.....No! It has divided into four clones. Each of them went into the passage, they reached the place where the Lizardmen were devoting themselves to defense.   [Substitute]    Saying that word. The 4 clones in each passage were facing the Orc soldiers. Then the Lizardmen that were there saw the incredible spectacle. The orcs, who have tormenting us as if hungry ghosts from hell, could not break through Souei’s stoic defense. At each passage stand a single person.   [Misaitoayazanjin! (Beheading Formation of Restraining String!) ] It was a slaughter dance of glittering string. Steel thread spreading around the passage instantly, and it move freely according to Souei‘s command. As soon as he executes the technique in the passage, the Orc soldier’s body was cut down.

　−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

   

If done that way, the resistance and the regeneration will not able to cope and he will be completely burned.

  The one who attack next after Benimaru was Ranga. He use the [Black Lighting] just like I suggest him to and converge it to a single point before shooting it. Receiving a direct hit, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo body stiffened. The aim is good; I will use it that way from now on. The area of attack was adjusted for individual target, the optimum blow. The black charred Demon Lord Orc Disaster, collapse in the place where he stands. Of course that happens. Even I could not bear such attack. Rather than one on one it’s a fight against many opponent, moreover defeatedby a surprise attack, please do not think badly of me. Perhaps, any of the Oni would not win in one on one. But, with this the war would finally end....... at the very moment I think that,

  [Fuha~a! So this is pain! I even sawa glimpse of death! But, it not enough to make the great me perish!!!]   Even though he is carbonized and seemed dead, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster rises up. If you look at him, he pulls and torn his arm and eats it.

However, if we burn him together with Flame and [Black Lighting], it’s possible to surpass his defense and restoration ability. But now it’s impossible......   Benimaru and Ranga have run out of Magic power. Shion is injured, right now Hakurou is exchanging blade against him one on one. Hakurou’s attack did not hit its target, the Demon Lord Orc Disaster’s attack also doesn’t hit. As expected from a master. However, how long will it continue, the situation is gradually getting worse.

At that time,

Quality, power, range. If all of it combined it will become a certain kill attack. Fortunately the speed is slow. If they receive it normally, the Oni will not stay unharmed. [Fuhah~a! Good! Entertain me more! It’s a good exercise before the meal. You guys must be very delicious. Fuhahaha! You all will become food for me. You guys happy?]

  My subordinate, the main force of five people even if they work together, they are still unable to win. This is...   I’m no longer able to stop my body tremble. This trembling is, a trembling that comes from my instinct.

I, from the bottom of my body, can no longer stop my instinct from going crazy and making noises from joy My subordinate, the main force of five people fighting together were not able to win against this opponent. Yet, in my mind there was no fear. The feeling of depression that appear on the beginning, at this point it has all been blown away That’s right, I recognize this guy as an enemy. Sorry for thinking of you as troublesome. I stop flying and descend to the ground. When I come closer, the yellow aura, Chaos Eater rushed towards me. I feel it coiling around me and stick to my body. This is unpleasant. I see, so he trying to eat me? Nice, if you think you can do it, then do it! Feeling highly excited from my instinct, smile began to float on my face. Before you eat me, I will eat you first!
And thus the time comes for the clash between me and the Demon Lord Orc Disaster Gelmudo.
