Entrusting my anger to the situation would endanger Veldoraâs main body, the âStorm Dragon (energy)â.
Itâs not that my anger had disappeared, but rather I had to calmly deal with the situation.
This anger was something I needed to vent out on the Emperor later.
I had to first prioritize my objectives.
In order to free Veldora, defeating the main body before me would suffice.
However that alone wouldnât be enough, and I hat to first retrieve Veldoraâs Nucleic Heart, and reconstruct the âSoul Corridorâ.
Well, I should manage somehow.
Wisdom Lord Raphael had already bought some time.
So we could focus on dealing with the âStorm Dragonâ.
However, Investigation King Faustâs âProbability Manipulationâ seemed troublesome.
Rather than worrying about which attacks were manipulated, thinking of every attack as something with additional uncertainties was sufficient.
After all, the âStorm Dragonâsâ Energy was immense.
I still felt an energy supplementation from it, but compared to the flow of âpowerâ from Veldora when the âSoul Corridorâ was intact, this was nothing.
However, there was no need for worry.
I had Gluttony King Belzebuth, as well as Wisdom Lord Raphael with me after all.
I would have âStorm Dragonâsâ âStorm Blastâ predated on by Gluttony King Beelzebub.
Then, disassembled.
This wasnât going to be easy. Because, if the predation failed, and I took a direct hit, my body would be destroyed with that one shot.
I feared that the destruction speed would be quicker than my ability to escape via clone.
Having a clone ready from the start, similar to my first battle against Hinata, would be pointless.
After all, if I couldnât grant Ultimate Abilities onto the clone, it would be immediately destroyed.
In the end, the seemingly all-powerful clone couldnât be used for anything other than as a decoy against weaker foes.
Well it depended on the opponent, and, with retreat being a priority, if victory wasnât necessary, then there were several uses for it.
Under circumstances where defeat wasnât an option, it would be useless.
Therefore, I had to defeat the âStorm Dragonâ head-on.
Attacks other than âStorm Blastâ would be dodged if possible, and otherwise offset with another attack.
With Raphaelâs calculations assisting my instincts, it had gotten much easier since a while ago.
However, it was true that the abilities of the Ultimate Skill ăStorm King Veldoraă were left behind really helped.
If they werenât there, there were high chances of defeat due to the not being able to offset the oncoming attacks.
The fact that the abilities were able to remain was probably due to Veldoraâs timing.
Youâve done all this, so Iâve got to answer to those expectations.
And so I attempted to find the timing.
Since I didnât know the location of Veldoraâs Nucleic Heart, I couldnât initiate any attacks.
Or rather, there were ways for me to attack, however it would be difficult to inflict any fatal damage.
Using various Nuclear Strike magics overlapped by Ultimate Skills would definitely inflict some damage.
I could also use ăHoly Demonic Inversionă, and release a holy attribute Ultimate Magic âDisintegrationâ.
However, this kind of magic wouldnât be fatal with just one or two shots.
This was, without a doubt, due to the greatest trait of the âTrue Dragonsâ that even surpassed that of Demon Lords, their heightened durability.
Even so, if I wanted to take down the Heart-less âStorm Dragonâ, Iâd only have to assemble a multi-layered magic formation, and strike with the compressed synergetic magic.
After all, without the Heart, its attacks had become patterned, and through her calculations, Wisdom Lord Raphael could perceive the next attack.
Having analyzed many attack patterns, she used the knowledge to make her predictions.
This was something I didnât understand, but analyzing algorithms was indeed very useful.
Though I thought it was enough to just randomize our attacks since their results would get their âprobability manipulatedââŠâŠ
After all, it was at a Heart-less, rampaging state.
One could call this the sorrow of the dominated.
Frankly speaking, the reason I could also evade was thanks to this.
And now, with Wisdom Lord Raphael, it was like having a child as an opponent.
Wisdom Lord Raphael-san who was brimming with confidence for some reason could easily come up with a plan to kill.
And thus, simply defeating it was not an issue.
There were two problems.
The time limit, and the location of the Nucleic Heart.
If by chance, the Heart got destroyed then it was all over.
Complete operation failure.
The main body of the âStorm Dragonâ would be under the complete dominion of the Emperor, and the âSoul Corridorâ needed for Veldoraâs resurrection would no longer be reconstructible.
Then it would all be meaningless.
Thatâs why I had to be careful.
I was looking for the right timing since a while ago.
The reason I got close to the rampaging âStorm Dragonâ, and initiated a close combat, was for this timing.
The clock was ticking, but I didnât worry.
There were 2 minutes remaining, but rather than rushing I evaded the attacks, slyly creeping in, and shortening our distance.
The more our distances shortened , the harder it became to evade the attacksâŠâŠ however Raphaelâs attack prediction increased dodging precision.
With my intuition and ăFuture Attack Predictionă used simultaneously, we could somehow manage to evade.
Carefully, without flustering, indifferently handling the attacks ââ
ââ Now!
Without overlooking the opening for an instant immediately right after the âStorm Dragonâ attacked, I activated Gluttony King Belzebuth, and devoured the âStorm Dragonâsâ main body.
My body changed from human to fluid form, its viscous property strongly emphasizing the irregular shape.
In accordance to my intentions to attack and devour, it changed into a shape suitable to entangle the opponent.
To bind, and devour the âStorm Dragonâ.
However, naturally, the opponent was too large. Even if I stretched my body, I couldnât pass a certain point.
However, there was no need to worry, as Gluttony King Belzebuthâs erosion had begun.
Simultaneously, the âStorm Dragonâsâ destruction aura that resisted hostile existences had begun to break down my body.
Towards I who was trying to devour it, the âStorm Dragonâ in turn attempted to exhaust me.
A violent attrition battle had begun.
It hurt, it burned, it was excruciating.
I was not supposed to feel pain, yet now, intense pain surged throughout my body.
Me feeling heat didnât make any sense either, yet I felt like I was melting.
This was the first time I felt like this in this world, this intense pain.
My intuition detecting the destruction of my very existence may have stimulated my senses.
However, I will never slow down the predation.
I will win.
At this rate the âStorm Dragon (Energy)â will be devoured and absorbed.
And then, Veldoraâs Heart will be separated, and the âcurseâ that destroyed the magic circuit will be analyzed and nullified.
For that, this amount of pain was nothing.
(Raphael, are there any problems?)
ăSolution. There are absolutely no problems.ă
Everythingâs alright.
Obtaining the absolute answer, I further accelerated the erosion.
As as I converted what I devoured into energy, the equivalent amount of flesh was destroyed.
My flesh was reconstructed once more, and the erosion continued.
This repeatedly repeated.
Time was running out, and with the target being so large, I feared that I would not make it.
However, I believed in Wisdom Lord Raphael.
I will make it in time.
ăAlert. Reporting results of Parallel Analysis.
Analysis of âCardinal Accelerationâ has concluded.
Reproduction of ability has failed.
Analysis of âStorm Blastâ has concluded.
Reproduction of ability successfulâŠâŠit is now possible to use it.
Analysis of âStorm Dragon Energyâ has concluded.
It is now possible to reconfigure the bodily composition into the same type as âStorm Dragonâ.
Would you like to execute? YES/NO ă
What?
Didnât you just say something weird?
Even though the analysis of âCardinal Accelerationâ was a success, itâs natural I wouldnât be able to use it.
Since I didnât take âScorch Dragonâ Velgryndâs abilities, replicating her Ultimate Skill merely by seeing it would be impossible.
The fact I was able to use âStorm Blastâ after analyzing made sense.
My Ultimate Skill ăStorm King Veldoraă remained, and the powerâs basis had already been analyzed.
Although itâs amazing I could use a powerful ability and Iâm happy about it, itâs something that fell within the range of my understanding.
If it was Wisdom Lord Raphael-san, this wasnât unusual, I got used to it.
However, that last line.
It was possible to reconfigure my body into the same type as a âStorm Dragonâ?
I didnât quite get the meaning of this.
If my understanding is correct, that would mean I would become the same as a âTrue Dragonâ butâŠâŠ
ăAnswer. That inference is correct. ă
The wha-!?
Correct, err, hey you!?
ââAre you serious?
ăInquiry. Would you like to begin reconstructing your body into a âTrue Dragon? YES/NO ă
Fufufu, Fuhaha, FuhahahahahaïŒ
Certainly, I executed a 3 part laugh, and thus commanded.
YES! (TN: âIâm now one step closer to My Veldora!â Rimuru, jk.)
In that instant, the pain I felt vanished.
The pain, the heat, the agony.
Due to my new body, the corrosive anti-threat aura the âStorm Dragonâ released was nullified.
In other words, I now simply kept on devouring, and converted everything into my energy.
Rapidly, my magic Energy replenished, and began to rise.
That was done at an accelerated pace, because if I slowed down against the âStorm Dragonâ, it would be fatal.
If this was Veldora, he probably would have been able to immediately respond.
But, since the dominated being was only the âStorm Dragonâ, it didnât have the corresponding reaction speed.
In the first place, if Veldora was the opponent, I wouldnât even be able to even get a hold of him.
This being was only able to act in accordance to its programming.
Once I understood this, it was no longer a threat.
(Now then, letâs end this!
I wouldnât forgive you (Bastard) for calling yourself my cherished âStorm Dragonâ.
Devour, Gluttony King Belzebuth!!)
(TN: This Rimuru x Veldora ship is cruising on!) (EN: cherished⊠0.0)
In accordance to my order, Gluttony King Belzebuth gleefully restarted devouring âStorm Dragon (Energy)â. And that, at a terrifying speed.
Unlike previously, the power-balance was now one-sided.
The hunter, and the hunted. It was the very essence of the law of the Jungle.
And so, my body had been reconstructed into a âTrue Dragonâ, my Energy broke through the limit, and continued to increase.
An evolution and rebirth had occurred, and blinding light flooded the surroundings.
My old body couldnât withstand the energy used for the reconstruction into a âTrue Dragonâ, and it was released in an explosion of light.
??????????????????????????
When the light faded, the âStorm Dragonâsâ figure had disappeared.
In its place was an unknown life form.
Devouring the âStorm Dragonâ which could be called its parent, its body was reborn as the 5th âTrue Dragonâ, the Ultimate Slime (Viscous Dragonoid Demon God). (EN: haha, wtf ç«éçČæ§æç„äœ)
That figure soon took the form of a human.
It looked around the age of 15~16, with a lustrous silver hair with a visible hint of violet mixed into it.
With golden eyes that looked as if it could see all, they were sharp and beautiful.
Albeit genderless, one could call her features cute rather than beautiful.
However, clad in a divine aura (presence), her beauty was sublime.
A single sword in her hand, she lacked clothing.(TN: now THIS is an LN illustration Iâd like to see~!)
With dazzling white skin, one could see the black and gold aura (magic) coated around her. (EN: well, at least itâs censored)
As if whispering something in dissatisfaction, light enveloped her whole body, and a set of divine jet-black clothes appeared.
It was different from matter creation, a part of her body was modified and turned into armor.
By using the Energy that overflowed from her body, she created that set of clothing.
Just like that, all the excessive energy was released, and suppressed.
Visibly satisfied, a grin appeared on her face.
Velgrynd saw all that whilst trapped in her prison.
One more strike was all that was needed to break out of the prison.
However, she completely forgot about that one strike as she gawked at the spectacle.
Her own brother, the âStorm Dragonâ Veldora ,against the âDemon Lordâ Rimuru; âStorm Dragonâ Veldora should have had the overwhelming advantage.
According to investigations, Rimuru was born from the congregation of magic essence from Veldoraâs leaked Aura.
Since it could be considered an inferior copy of a âTrue Dragonâ, it would naturally be a strong monster more or less.
It would naturally be a Unique Monster.
However, it was definitely impossible for it to surpass its creator, the âTrue Dragonâ. If it could, that would imply that it was a being of equal rank to begin with.
(A coincidence? It canât beâŠâŠby chance, and she was born just like that?!)
Concluding her thoughts, and shocked at the answer she came up with, Velgrynd needed some time to take it in.
A monster that was born near a âTrue Dragonâ out of pure coincidence, and was born with a soul that was compatible with a dragonâs essence, something like that.
Above all it was a non-elemental, absorbing the elements it took in, she couldnât possibly accept this so easily.
Then it could possibly even be called the 5th, another younger brother(?), but strictly speaking it wasnât a âTrue Dragonâ.
And if it was to be classified, itâs something with the ability of a âDragonâ.
She didnât want to recognize this, nor would she do so.
That thing had to be eliminated immediately.
That for sure, would also to serve as vengeance for her brother.
Although things happened, he was still her cute little brother.
Although she intended to control him as a pawn, for a dragon it would only be for a few insignificant years. (TN: #BestSister2016)
She did not have the intention to kill him or the sort at all.
And so, when she finally accepted that he was devoured before her very eyes, Velgryndâs anger blew away all reasoning.
ăMy brother (Veldora) youâŠâŠ HOW DARE YOU!!ă
Breaking out her prison as she roared in anger, the âScorch Dragonâ Velgrynd rushed towards and assaulted Rimuru.
??????????????????????????
The same time as I finished devouring the âStorm Dragonâ, my evolution had completed, and it appeared that I was born anew as a unique species.
Although it had the fancy name âUltimate Slime (Viscous Dragonoid Demon God)â, itâs not a slime at all, I thought in secret.
This late into it, if I think too much about it I lose.
Now to check out the new body.
This body that was born without consuming Energy had a greatly increased capacity.
Thanks to that, the body that once looked around 12 years old, now looked around the age of 16.
This feeling of growth felt interesting, but for me who could freely modify my age this wasnât anything of significance.
Well, in regard to Energy usage, as long as Iâm able to move about in my relaxed state then there were no problems.
My slime form probably had an increase in mass. I might even have a diameter of 70~80cm now.
I should confirm that later.
And so, I was currently not wearing anything. In other words, Iâm naked.
Thatâs no good.
A strange aura has leaked out, covering my bodyââEven though I didnât have any reproductive organs as usualââhowever, from my own ethical point of view this was something unfavorable.
(TN: aka, thereâs neither hole or pole down thereâŠgod this sounds so wrongâŠ.)
And so, I produced some clothes.
Using the matter creation ability from Diablo and the other demons, I used my Aura, and created clothes.
This also had some defensive capabilities to a certain extent. If the creatorâs own body is used, it would have a complementary performance.
In an instant, my body felt like it was garbed in clothing. It felt very pleasant; it was a set of cool black
garbs.
The performance wasâŠâŠGod tier.
God tier? God tier was it ~ I seeâŠâŠwait, Huh?!
This was what it meant to be shocked stupid.
In other words, the part of my body ââthe flesh of my main bodyââhad this kind of ridiculous defensive capability.
I felt like I had evolved, I see, indeed.
One reason may be that several of my subordinates were awakening into Demon Lords, and their abilities were gather via ăFood Chaină.
Coming here, I felt like I had awakened a whole lot more.
Well, since my body was rebuilt into a âTrue Dragonâ, it was only natural I would have this kind of defensive capability.
This was all the result of a successful operation.
In short this was all thanks to Wisdom Lord Raphael-san. This was really well done, truly befitting of Sensei.
ăAlert. Not at all.ă(EN: *Algorithmically blushes*)
She may have said, but I ignored it.
Well, Iâve got clothes now, but I havenât forgotten my original objective.
(Veldora, you alright?)
(Kuahahahaha!
How many times have I told you.
Of course Iâm safe.
Or rather look at you, well done defeating my main body safely.
(It was really intense though.
But, this is wonderful, it truly is!)
Veldora and I were both glad the other was all right.
And so, as proof of Veldoraâs release, I heard the voice of Wisdom Lord Raphael.
ăReport. âSoul Corridorâ with individual: Veldora successfully re-established.ă
Wisdom Lord Raphael was always constantly working.
This time too, it was flawless work as usual.
ăReport, there have been modifications to the ultimate skill ăStorm King Veldoraă.

â»Energy required would vary corresponding to summoning delay.

Alright.
The first tactical victory condition has been cleared.
Next came the second and third.
Eliminating the threat, slaughtering the Imperial soldiers.
Now that my anger had settled, I started to think likeâŠâŠitâs fine not to kill them all right~
but with the Black Numbers rampaging about, it was probably too late.

Oh well, it was necessary to eliminate the threat anyway.
Letâs maintain our momentum up until the end.
Steeling my determination, I faced the âScorch dragonâ Velgrynd who would attack me shortly.
