~Rimuru POV~

In the Nation Tempest, the capital of Rimuru, many years after the Great Tenma war, everything returned to normal.

It's been more than a thousand years since the Great Tenma war Rimuru sat in his office sighing.

"Haizz... it's finally done" Rimuru lamented looking at the piles of papers piled up in the room

Suddenly remembering something Rimuru asked Ciel

<>Rimuru

<> Ciel didn't finish his sentence when Rimuru cut him off.

<< that's great, let's go!!!>> Rimuru said excitedly

<> Ciel

<< c'mon! Why are you always so careful, last time I went, it's okay, just let me go out for a while, I've done all my work>> Rimuru begged Ciel

<< fine then I will choose a world with low energy level and similar in shape to your old world>> Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel sighed, his voice sounded tired but also happy

While Rimuru was talking with Ciel, Rimuru didn't use the thought accelerator, so to others Rimuru was looking into space and thinking, seeing that Shuna was beside him, arranging a bunch of papers.

"What's wrong, Rimuru-sama? You seem to be thinking about something" Shuna

Hearing Shuna Rimuru's voice was startled

"Oh nothing I was just thinking about a few things, by the way, I'm going to be away for a while, so please inform the rest of us." Rimuru

"Where are you going? You're not going to avoid going out anymore are you" Shuna said with a gentle smile on her face but there was a tremendous pressure that made the rimuru panic

"D...hey... no, t... I'm just going to work, I've finished all my work, with every time I come back from another world I bring back new knowledge" Rimuru

"You're right, so I'll let you know." Shuna

“By the way, don’t let Veldora and Diablo follow me, okay?” Rimuru

"Yes" Shuna

After Shuna left the room Rimuru turned to ask Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

<> said Rimuru and walked in front of the space gate But when standing in front of it, Rimuru didn't come in but said to Ciel

<< Hey Ciel! Before I go, remember not to analyze everything, this time I'm just hanging out so there's no need to analyze that world, it'll be more interesting to explore it slowly >> Rimuru

<> Ciel answered succinctly

Rimuru felt somewhat surprised that Ciel would obediently obey such orders this time

But at least I got a confirmation from Ciel

After thinking about it, a space portal appeared in front of rimuru, Rimuru stepped inside

Inside is a space-time tunnel between the worlds that Ciel built to connect the two worlds, it will give Ciel more time to analyze as well as make sure that the world they both come to will be.

Safe And as always it is a tunnel with only one black color, in which even light from other dimensions can't enter completely, only strong enough entities can survive and keep sober in this place

After floating in the space-time tunnel for a while, Ciel gave a warning

<< Warning: detected an unidentified entity, conducting analysis >> Ciel

After Ciel's report, Rimuru realized that a humanoid entity appeared in front of him

The entity has a distorted body, its form is difficult to distinguish, and its gender, shape, and even facial expressions are unrecognizable.

Rimuru immediately raised his guard and summoned his god-class sword and said to the person in front of him

"The first time I met and hid my identity like this, wasn't it very impolite?"

After Rimuru's opening sentence, a strange, indistinguishable voice rang out, gender unknown and tone unknown.

" Ara Ara, don't be so nervous. It's not polite to point your sword at someone when you first meet them, " said the man in front of Rimuru.

Both of them kept their distance and just stared at each other, neither of them knew each other's strength, so no one dared to actively attack each other.

<< Ciel! What is that name? >> Rimuru

<< Report: The one in front of you is a primordial spirit >> Ciel

<< STARTING ORIGINAL!? >> Rimuru

<< Yes, However, this spirit is not the same as the spirit of our world, the energy that the individual is radiating has never been encountered. Please buy me more time so I can analyze that person >> Ciel

<< Okay! Thanks to you all >> Rimuruu

After talking with Ciel, Rimuru continued to look at the person in front of him

Thought the two would look at each other longer but then the person in front of Rimuru let out a light laugh and said

" The two of us won't actively talk if it stays like this. Let me introduce myself as , a spirit and you are-- " The

person in front of Rimuru introduced himself and extended his hand. as if to signal Rimuru to introduce himself

In order to buy more time, Rimuru also followed Phantom's words and introduced himself

"I am Rimuru, but you call yourself a 'spirit', right?"Rimuru

Hearing Rimuru's question, Phantom just smiled lightly and replied

" That's right, what's wrong? " Phantom

" I see you're not just an ordinary spirit. " Rimuru

Rimuru's words made Phantom somewhat surprised, but then continued to speak

" Fufu, I don't know how you know, but someone like you wants to come into my world... " Phantom stopped mid-sentence.

Upon seeing Phantom stop, Rimuru immediately raised his guard and prepared for what was to come

" Ain Soph Aur Cathedral !"

Phantom said those words and then immediately repeated

A huge flower appeared in the air. And from the center, the figure of a young girl seemed to be praying there with her hands clasped together. An extremely majestic and magnificent scene.

(Phantom is still using disturbances to hide his identity so this is just for visualization)

Although he couldn't see the Phantom's expression clearly, Rimuru felt like the phantom was smiling brightly

"BREAK OUT!" The phantom gave the command and soon after, rays of light came from the flower and the rimuru sensed the danger coming from those rays.

Rimuru quickly used thought acceleration and dodged all those deadly rays

Even with the thought of acceleration, the light was still traveling very fast, even Rimuru had difficulty dodging

However, the light from the flower gradually spread and reached Rimuru but---

.

.

Nothing happened

But Rimuru still didn't show panic and calmly handled the situation because Rimuru hadn't launched an attack yet, and moreover, Ciel was currently analyzing the name in front of him and coming up with a strategy soon. give Rimuru quick

Seeing that Rimuru was unharmed from those lights Phantom just stared at Rimuru

Although he couldn't see Phantom's face, Rimuru could tell that she was surprised

Taking advantage of the Phantom's surprise, Rimuru charged at the fastest speed possible and when he was close enough, Rimuru unleashed a slash at Phantom's body.

Phantom noticed that Rimuru was coming toward him so he reacted and stepped back to dodge Rimuru's slash

But Rimuru's slash was still fast enough to be able to reach Phatom's noise layer, causing part of the noise layer to be cut off to reveal a torn white shirt inside and some flesh.

Phantom looked at the spot where he was attacked and was surprised

" Fufu, I didn't expect you to be able to hurt my Astral Dress, Looks like I've looked down on you," said Phantom, looking warier of Rimuru.

Phantom bounces back to keep his distance from Rimuru After that, Phantom neutralized his jamming layer and revealed his true form

The figure of a young girl appeared from that layer of noise. That girl has a circle on her back and wears a dress with the beauty of an angel.

Rimuru clearly showed his surprise at the figure of the person who had been fighting with him until now Realizing his thoughts, Rimuru shook his head trying to regain his composure, and firmly grasped the god-class sword

Phantom seeing Rimuru's expression just smiled lightly and raised his left hand upwards

Knowing that his enemy was about to do something, Rimuru prepared his stance so that he could charge and continue his attack.

But before Rimuru could do anything, suddenly the space in the spacetime tunnel changed (Phantom caused a spacequake in the spacetime tunnel).

The space-time tunnel has been bent and gradually collapsed

Rimuru clearly felt the instability of things around him, the surrounding space was shaking violently, and the next moment---

The spacetime tunnel could no longer be maintained and teleported both Phantom and Rimuru to the nearest space.

When Rimuru noticed, the place where he was standing was different

Both Rimuru and Mio were standing on the same large island floating in the middle of nowhere, and around both of them, there was strange energy like the one emanating from Phantom's body.

When he looked over at Phantom, Rimuru noticed that Phantom's face was still holding the same smile, it looked like she knew where this was.

" This is... " Rimuru

" This is the neighborhood, a world that exists next to the real world, where the Spirits live, " said Phantom, his face still smiling.

“ Neighborhood ….? ” Rimuru said in surprise

But then the Phantom in front of Rimuru just looked at Rimuru and opened his mouth to say

" Shouldn't we just end it here too? " Phantom said and raised his hands in the air

Rimuru continued to take a ready stance, preparing for what the person in front of him was about to offer

" Beautiful Reincarnation "

Phantom said those words and then

A huge tower appeared.

The tower was surrounded by flowers and branches, its top seemed to pierce the sky. In an instant, the whole surroundings were only black and white, and the scene was made up of cubes

But at the same time, Rimuru felt that something in his body was changing, although it was not clear what but Rimuru could only guess it was Ciel's doing, Rimuru secretly rejoiced thinking that Ciel was doing something to help Rimuru

But then Rimuru still opened his mouth and said

“ Hmm………… after all, what is this? ” said Rimuru as he saw that his surroundings had changed

Without saying anything else, Phantom suddenly disappeared in front of Rimuru and appeared right behind Rimuru.

Immediately realizing that Phantom had teleported behind his back, Rimuru quickly turned around and brought his sword back to attack.

But then Phantom was no longer behind Rimuru but about 5 meters away from Rimuru.

Before Rimuru could fix everything, the next moment, a beam of light rose up from the ground

Rimuru quickly dodged and slashed the beams of light

The streaks of light continuously rising from the ground made Rimuru not have time to rest

Knowing that the surrounding space was in the opponent's control and if the situation remained the same then Rimuru would be at a disadvantage, Rimuru immediately contacted Ciel.

<> Rimuru

But unlike Rimuru's expectations, there was no response from Ciel

<> Rimuru mumbled while continuing to dodge the rays of light that continued to attack Rimuru incessantly.

Unable to let the enemy continue to take the initiative forever, Rimuru decided to manipulate space himself to fight the enemy.

Rimuru extended his right hand towards Phantom's direction to change the space around her.

But---- For some reason, Rimuru can't manipulate space, even skills can't be used...

Rimuru made a surprised expression while continuously avoiding the bands of light.

“You really are strong,” said Phantom in an almost sarcastic voice

"Shut up!" Rimuru said while dodging all the light perfectly

"Fufu" Phantom let out a small laugh and then the beams of light stopped attacking Rimuru

Rimuru turned his line of sight to Phantom

Phantom was currently standing opposite Rimuru. in her hand, a sharp sword is slowly taking shape

The "Anaph" Phantom spoke the sword's name and charged toward Rimuru

Rimuru raised his sword and parried Phantom's attack

The two constantly exchange extremely dangerous attacks

Rimuru and Phantom have been fighting each other for a while and Rimuru is slowly feeling...... TIRED?

Slime shouldn't feel physically tired but why did Rimuru feel tired?

Rimuru's body moved slowly and Rimuru could notice a smile on Phantom's face

Rimuru's movement slowed down and couldn't keep up with Phantom's speed. But when the phantom was about to slash at Rimuru, at that moment---

Rimuru realized that he would be cut in two if he didn't dodge, but Rimuru couldn't do anything because his body suddenly slowed down.

But somehow, As Rimuru swung his sword in an attempt to parry Phantom's attack, a familiar energy suddenly radiated out---

Turn null (Turn null)

Noticing that source of Rimuru's energy, Phantom jumped back quickly

Rimuru's slash radiated the energy of destruction of nothingness and charged toward the Phantom

But then suddenly that slash stopped in midair

Rimuru forgot that this dimension is currently under Phantom's control

Rimuru's body suddenly felt tired and collapsed

Although he didn't understand why he felt tired, Rimuru still tried to raise his face and look at Phantom

Phantom is currently observing the energy of the vandalism of nothingness being condensed in midair

The look on her face seemed to be surprised that someone like Rimuru possessed it

Phantom raised his hand to touch the nihilistic destructive energy

Rimuru thought that Phantom would get hurt by touching it but---

Contrary to Rimuru's thoughts, Phantom was safely holding that power in his hand

What happened next made Rimuru even more surprised

The energy in Phantom's hand suddenly condensed and turned into...... a crystal

That crystal had no color at all, it was completely transparent, so transparent that without the bending of light Rimuru wouldn't be able to see it.

But even more surprising was that the face of Phantom who created the Crystal also had a surprised expression

She holds the crystal in her hand and looks at the circle behind her with a confused expression

But then, she turned to look at Rimuru

Hesitating for a moment, she took the crystal and approached Rimuru

Noticing her approaching, Rimuru tried to lift himself up

"Calm down, I won't do anything to you," Phantom said with a slight smile on his face

The way she called Rimuru 'child' made Rimuru feel flustered

"What do you mean?" Rimuru

In response to Rimuru's words, Phantom just knelt down on one knee and placed a hand on Rimuru's head, and lightly stroked Rimuru's hair.

Rimuru was completely confused by the change in the attitude of the person in front of him

Phantom showed a gentle smile and then, brought her hand holding the crystal to Rimuru's hand and used her free hand to control Rimuru's hand holding the crystal.

Since Rimuru's current strength is for some reason too weak to resist

"Ciel----!" Rimuru tried to say those words in the hope that Ciel would somehow help Rimuru But still no response

At this moment, Rimuru's hand reached the Crystal and---

the crystal that was incorporated into Rimuru

Rimuru can sense strange energy similar to Phantom's radiating through his body

After the crystal merged into Rimuru's body, Phantom looked at Rimuru with a gentle expression and said

"Sleep well girl, we'll see each other again soon," Phantom said with a gentle smile and placed his hand on Rimuru's head once more to Rimuru's bewilderment.

This time Rimuru could perceive something similar to mental attack magic being deployed but at that moment a voice in Rimuru's head resounded.

<> Ciel

That voice of Ciel made Rimuru feel lighter

But then Rimuru's vision suddenly blurred....and then Rimuru couldn't see anymore and for some reason, Rimuru couldn't use universal perception.

Rimuru's consciousness gradually darkened and Rimuru collapsed

Phantom gently supported Rimuru's back and gently placed Rimuru on the ground and stood up

Phantom looked at Rimuru lying motionless on the ground and said to himself

"Although there might be trouble later on..... But if it's for you, I'll gladly accept it" said Phantom and then disappeared from the vicinity.

---END---

The plot now begins after Shidou finished sealing Tohka and Yoshino 's spiritual energy

~Rimuru POV~

Rimuru opened his eyes with the feeling of waking up after sleeping for a long time

A gentle breeze brushed against Rimuru's face causing Rimuru's hair to sway in the wind and a view of the city appeared, surrounded by the faint sound of sirens.

Rimuru looked around Right now, Rimuru is in a city that he doesn't even know And Rimuru is in the center of a big hole… it seems like it was the aftermath of the big explosion

Not understanding why he was here, Rimuru looked around once more to try to figure out the reason

But then when Rimuru's gaze fell on himself, Rimuru realized something----

The outfit that Rimuru is wearing now looks majestic and holy

It's an outfit with the main colors of white and black, surrounded by other small items

Rimuru realized that, in addition to the strange outfit, Rimuru himself was emitting an energy similar to Phantom's.

While thinking about that energy, Rimuru suddenly remembered something and immediately said

" Ciel! "

Rimuru said in a panic and after Rimuru's words, a familiar voice resounded in Rimuru's head

<< I'm here master >>

Hearing Ciel's voice, Rimuru felt much lighter

<< hah..... don't worry me. Why were you so silent when I was fighting the Phantom >>

<>

<< Body modification.... so what do you do?>>

<>

Ciel said with a somewhat unusual voice

Realizing that Ciel's voice had changed, Rimuru showed doubt and asked Ciel one more time

<>

However, when Ciel answered, instead of answering Rimuru's question, Ciel gave a report

<>

Ciel's announcement surprised Rimuru and started using omniscient perception

And Rimuru realized that there were indeed people approaching Rimuru and their surroundings were surrounded by something that looked quite similar to Phantom's Ain Soph area.

Soon after, those people appeared in front of Rimuru

They were all wearing armor and carrying various machines and were flying above Rimuru

<> Rimuru

< master>> Ciel

Just as Ciel finished explaining, someone who seemed to be the captain of that group spoke up

" Target identified. Everyone, start attacking "

""Clear!""

After the captain's command, all the others responded in unison.

Bullets fired from various weapons were mounted all over their bodies

Despite being warned by Ciel that this group of people had killing intent, Rimuru was still surprised that they attacked Rimuru in such a hurry.

Rimuru could easily dodge it but suddenly Rimuru unconsciously reached out his hand and said a name

"!"

{A/N:Erebus was one of the primordial God in Greek mythology and he Govern overs the Void}

Rimuru said and then particles of light started appearing from the air and gathered in front of Rimuru's hand into the shape of---- a katana

Surprised by his own actions, Rimuru took up his katana and blocked all attacks directed at him and flew up into the air until he was at the same height as the crowd.

They and Rimuru simply looked at each other

no one actively attacked, it seems like they are waiting for something or just buying time

Meanwhile, Rimuru activated the thought acceleration and turned to ask Ciel

<>

Rimuru asked Ciel in confusion while still looking at the sword in his hand

< > Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

<>

Rimuru made a surprised expression

Currently Rimuru is facing the anti-spirit team and Rimuru is...a spirit

Rimuru sighed

As Rimuru thought about what had happened... The crystal.... the spirit of origin---

Rimuru was able to guess that the crystal turned Rimuru or rather Rimuru's physical body into a spirit.

But while he was about to ask Ciel about the next few things, Rimuru noticed that one of the party members who was attacking Rimuru was slowly moving.

Rimuru noticed the girl with white hair rushing towards Rimuru

There's magic on her body----- that's not true, not only her but all the members of that group are emitting magic power.

Looking at the clothes they were wearing, Rimuru felt a bit amused so he stopped his mental acceleration and turned to fight them, leaving unanswered questions for next time.

The white haired girl in front of Rimuru took out a lightsaber from one of her legs and charged towards Rimuru with an abnormally fast speed.

Rimuru was quick after that, raising his katana and parrying the white haired girl's attack.

The people accompanying the white-haired girl also tried to use all kinds of weapons to support her when given the opportunity.

But the fight between Rimuru and the white haired girl was so fast that they had to be very careful to avoid hitting their comrades.

While fighting the people in front of him, Rimuru was still able to take the time to observe their equipment and learn about his own strength.

Once the crystal was incorporated into Rimuru, Rimuru possessed the power of spirits and the knowledge of how to use this new ability.

Although I don't understand why Phantom gave Rimuru this power, according to Ciel's analysis, this thing is completely harmless to Rimuru.

Rimuru highly doubted the power given to him by Phantom. But at the same time Rimuru thought that he should try using it himself

Returning to the present, Rimuru was still fighting the white haired girl in front of her

Quickly, Rimuru blocked the white haired girl's attack then jumped back to keep her distance and opened her mouth to speak while continuously dodging the series of paragraphs.

" Hey! What's it like to meet you for the first time and greet you like that? What have I done to you? "

Rimuru said while still moving and avoiding the bullets of the group in front of him

"Shut up! You're destroying an entire area like that and you're saying nothing"

The white haired girl in front of her spoke angrily to Rimuru and continued to attack Rimuru

Rimuru parried the attack of the person in front of him and used omniscient perception to observe his surroundings

The place where Rimuru woke up was a big hole but Rimuru didn't make that hole, maybe it was because of some misinterpretation.

But while Rimuru was still thinking, Ciel spoke up

<> Ciel

<>

Rimuru was confused as he didn't understand what a space quake is and Rimuru didn't even do anything to create it

<> Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

Rimuru's space quake doesn't look like it's trivial, it flattened a corner of the city.... such a big incident would surely have killed a lot of people---

<> Ciel

<< Really? Ciel?>>Rimuru was surprised to hear Ciel's words

<>

<> Rimuru let out a sigh of relief

After making sure he didn't accidentally kill anyone, Rimuru returned to reality and looked at the crowd in front of him.

Seeing them all filled with murderous intent and pointing their weapons at Rimuru made Rimuru feel disgusted.

Rimuru looked boredly at his bouncing hole and then at the people in front of him

After thinking for a long time, Rimuru had to leave the unanswered questions for another time.

Rimuru stopped using the thought accelerometer and went back to fighting the people in front of him.

They used all kinds of bullets to attack Rimuru but none of them got close to Rimuru

Knowing that it was impossible to negotiate with them, Rimuru had to fight and gather information at the same time.

While fighting them, Rimuru had an idea to test out the new skills of this spirit power.

The girl in front of Rimuru continued to rush towards Rimuru frantically. Rimuru moved backwards to dodge her slash and then raised his hand.

"PHANES "

After saying a name that Rimuru had never heard of but for some reason it was in Rimuru's subconscious mind.

After Rimuru's words, a blinding light immediately surrounded Rimuru. The people around Rimuru, seeing this, dispersed and became wary.

The light that Rimuru emitted was so bright that it could temporarily blind others for a while, but Rimuru was unaffected by it.

After a while, the light from Rimuru's body gathered on the katana and the katana Rimuru was holding also emitted a soft golden light.

Rimuru tried swinging the sword and it created a beam of light energy that could repel everything in its path, its light dashed everywhere leaving a completely destroyed area behind.

Wherever the light goes, it leads to total destruction, it seems that nothing can stop that light streak, it flies straight until it flies out of the planet's atmosphere and weakens. then slowly disappear

Rimuru perceived this energy to be similar to the energy emanating from the other phantom's body. But there's one thing...

It is extremely unstable, this energy is extremely difficult to control as if it has been doped with something.

Returning to the present, Before Rimuru's attack, the people in front of them quickly closed their eyes and dodged away from that deadly light as quickly as possible.

Since Rimuru didn't originally intend to aim at anyone, after that attack, absolutely no one was killed.

Only the unfortunate members of that team were knocked down by the violent shockwaves and lay unconscious on the ground.

The people who attacked Rimuru earlier are now unconscious, some are still stunned from the blow just now

There's only one person that attracts Rimuru's attention the most, it's the white haired girl

Her face is now even more angry than before after seeing the injured team members

She tried to get herself up and rushed towards Rimuru once more and shouted

"DIE!!!!"

That white haired girl shouted and continued to rush towards Rimuru

Rimuru was quite surprised to see that the girl still had enough ability to continue attacking Rimuru, while the rest of her party members were still stunned from the attack just now.

Rimuru hadn't intended to unleash such a devastating attack but this spirit power was too difficult to control, it was too chaotic and unstable.

However, having destroyed an entire city like this, Rimuru is not sure how to explain it

Rimuru still has one more skill to test

Rimuru didn't want to stay here long to avoid having more people like this come to reinforce

Since it was discovered that there were many devices monitoring Rimuru's battle and there was also a large ship that was invisible, the longer it stayed, the more troublesome things would become.

Rimuru sighed and raised his voice again

"PERSES"

Just as Rimuru finished speaking, the spiritual energy surrounding Rimuru suddenly turned jet black---

No---- it wasn't black but Rimuru's spiritual power absorbed all the light that hit it

And then that dark energy gradually accumulated into Rimuru's katana, turning the blade into a terrifying jet black.

The white haired girl who was rushing over saw Rimuru's mirror change color and stopped rushing and kept her guard against Rimuru

Feel the chaotic energy condensing on the blade Rimuru hesitated whether to launch an attack But then Rimuru made a decision

Rimuru quickly slashed a horizontal slash

From Rimuru's blade, a large black streak was released and became larger

That streak of energy cut through the sky, sending even the air particles in the atmosphere to nothing

This attack once again did not actively target anyone but only created chaos to give Rimuru a chance to escape the pursuit of these people.

When that energy streak was released, at the same time Rimuru immediately told Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

After Ciel's words, Rimuru appeared in an empty alley

Actually, the whole city is empty right now, everyone has evacuated to the bunker

Rimuru was walking in the dark alley when he suddenly felt his heart beat very fast after the battle just now

Rimuru smiled to himself and put his hand on his chest and reassured himself

But then Rimuru realized something was wrong----

Slime do have heart!?

Rimuru knew the culprit very quickly and immediately questioned Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

<< Why dis you do that!? I was fighting that Phantom at that time wait now that I think about it Why did you say that My Nihilistic energy is decreasing but I had a clone on the void to Keep absorbing Nihilistic Energy so there's no way that my energy will be low>> Rimuru

<>

<<.......I did Seal masters Power So that we can both Enjoy this new world and as For your body I did this to prevent Phantom from knowing that you are not human, Master>> Ciel

<< Deceiving the enemy.... that's fine but at least Tell me if your going to seal my strength how much did you seal Ciel?>> Rimuru

<< I sealed 90% of Masters Power Along with some of your Nihilistic Energy>>

<>

Suddenly, realizing that Ciel said 'as human as possible' just now, Rimuru quickly checked himself.

.

.

.

.

<>

<<...>> Ciel didn't answer Rimuru but kept silent

<> Rimuru

While suffering from being made a girl by Ciel, Rimuru sensed someone approaching her and---

There's radiation on that person's body----

Spirit Power

Rimuru firmly held the katana in her hand to prepare to receive that person

{A/N:Change to His/Him to Her/She since you know}

"Ah... um... hey---!"

Before that person finished his sentence, the tip of Rimuru's sword was already pointed at the person's neck

It's a blue haired boy who looks like a high school student in his clothes Right now he's completely immobile due to fear of Rimuru's blade He panicked trying to explain.

"Wait--- I don't mean ill.... please calm down...."

There was a small amount of spiritual energy emanating from his body, but it was still enough to attack and reveal Rimuru's current location.

“Who are you, what are you here for?” Rimuru

Rimuru spoke to the point while keeping the tip of her sword in front of him

"I-My name is itsuka Shido, I came here just to help you and didn't mean anything wrong" said Shidou with a scared face.

<> Ciel reconfirmed his intentions in front of Rimuru

However, Rimuru noticed another point

That's how Shidou called Rimuru by 'Miss'

Rimuru really wanted to protest against the way Shidou called Rimuru but with her current body……

Raising her spirits, Rimuru lowered the tip of her sword and opened his mouth to say

"Okay I believe you. But what about those devices. What about the headset, the drone, and the giant ship on it" Rimuru

After Rimuru's words, Shidou's face became more tense Rimuru seemed to be able to see sweat pouring from his face After a while, he opened his mouth to say.

"These are from organization " Shido

"?" Rimuru

"The organization is an organization established for the purpose of saving spirits" Shido

Shidou said and looked at Rimuru with eyes expecting a response

"'Save'?" Rimuru

Rimuru asked and Shidou just nodded and continued speaking

"That's right, we save the spirits by sealing their spiritual energy and giving them a normal life" Shidou

'Living normally?'

Rimuru doesn't need that right now

What Rimuru needs right now is to find a way to defeat Phantom using her limited strength and to also have fun With such a thought, Rimuru just looked at Shidou and said.

"I don't need to be save" Rimuru

Rimuru's words seemed to surprise Shidou and said

"Why?" Shido

"Because I have more important things to do" Rimuru

"Is it more important? than being chased by the AST?" Shido

"That's right" Rimuru

In response to Shidou's words, Rimuru only replied coldly heard Rimuru's reply Shidou looked surprised and asked again.

"What is that----" Shidou

However, just as Shidou finished his sentence, Rimuru suddenly heard Ciel's voice announcing

<> Ciel

After Ciel's announcement, Shidou also spoke up

"Hey, it's dangerous here, or---" Shidou

However, before Shidou finished speaking, Rimuru interrupted Shidou's words

"No need, I'll take care of everything and you get out of here" Rimuru

Hearing Rimuru's words, Shidou just continued speaking

"No way! it's not---" Shidou

Once again, before Shidou finished his sentence, Rimuru interrupted again

"You're so stubborn."

Rimuru sighed and said to Ciel

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

After Ciel's words, Shidou disappeared from Rimuru's sight Just at that moment, the white haired girl who fought with Rimuru earlier also arrived and was flying above Rimuru along with another person who seemed to be the captain.

The white-haired girl now has a mini rocket launcher in her hand

"Oh we met again" Rimuru

"Tch! Die you monster" said the white haired girl and launched a volley of rockets towards Rimuru

But just as he was about to dodge that volley of rockets, Rimuru's surroundings suddenly shook and---

By the time Rimuru realized it, he had already returned to the vicinity

But for some reason... Rimuru couldn't move

Or rather, Rimuru's body is unconscious and Rimuru can only observe his surroundings with universal perception

<> Rimuru

But before getting Ciel's answer, Rimuru noticed someone else's presence

<...Phantom>

Phantom stepped forward and looked at Rimuru with a look that seemed a bit skeptical and hesitant But after a while she also left.

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

<< Why? if I had enough strength then I could have defeated her>> Rimuru

<> Ciel

<<..is that true...... >> Rimuru

<> Ciel

saying that, Ciel and Rimuru fell into silence again

.

.

.

<> said Rimuru when he was tired of waiting

<> Ciel

Rimuru once again thought

In this neighborhood, according to Ciel, Rimuru shouldn't be conscious here to avoid the phantom thinking that Rimuru is not human.

But without moving, Rimuru couldn't help but wait for Ciel---

<> Rimuru

<> Ciel

After Ciel's words, Rimuru's consciousness began to fade and fell asleep

------Shido POV------

While in class with his friends, suddenly Shidou heard the alarm bells for an impending space quake.

The whole class moved to the dungeon together and Shidou had to follow, everyone in the class even including him seemed to be the one who panicked the most was Tama-sensei.

After going down to the bunker, there were some students in the next class who became panicked, Shidou knew that it was the staff of who were distracting everyone to let him leave.

He quickly took advantage of the chaos and told Tohka to take shelter with the class, while I was going to look into the space quake.

Immediately after out; out of the bunker, Shidou took the the communication device and attached it to his ear. Right after that, Kotori contacted him

<< Can you hear that, Shido -san >> Kotori

Kotori's voice came out clearly right next to Shidou's ears

" Sure! " Shido

<< okay then go to the designated location, but be careful this time the signal is a bit out of the ordinary it could be a new Spirit so be careful >> Kotori

" I see, I'm going " Shidou

<< okay good luck >> kotori

After a while, he approached the designated location The scene in front of Shidou was now a huge hole.

The buildings and roads that used to be there have disappeared without a trace

Everything on the battlefield is completely gone.

Looking at the center of the space quake

Shidou could see a girl with blue hair and white clothes looking very majestic and magnificent.

Today is a less sunny and cloudy day, the surrounding scenery also becomes darker than usual.

In the middle of that dark space, the spirit girl standing in the middle of the place where the space quake happened slowly opened her eyes.

The eyes shone with a clear golden color even if Shidou was watching from afar

Knowing that he needed to approach the girl, Shidou slowly moved closer to avoid provoking her.

But while he was carefully approaching, he heard Kotori's voice from the earphone

<> Kotori

"But...." Shidou wanted to protest but was cut off by kotori

<> Kotori gave an explanation that Shidou did not undeniable

Shidou stood from afar and looked back at the spirit with hesitation but he had to leave

When he went far enough, he looked at the place just not that spirit girl is still there

She is holding a katana in her hand and is looking at AST's group

Shidou saw her holding her sword, acting as if she didn't want to fight them

But then he noticed Origami rushed over and started the fight

A battle that Shidou's eyes also had trouble seeing The spirit girl easily dodged all the attacks from the AST side and fought Origami directly

The sound of explosions reached all the way to Shidou's place

But then Shidou saw her stop

Her mouth mumbled something---

And then her whole body glowed

That light gradually softened and gathered the sword she was holding in her hand

After a while she swung her sword in a vertical line and

*BOOM!!!

A loud explosion occurred, and with it a blinding flash of light Even though Shidou didn't look directly at the light, the light and explosion caused him to be temporarily deaf and blind

He took a few steps back and fell back and fell to the ground because he lost his balance

His vision was covered with a white light for a while due to being blinded by light

And in his ears right now, there was always a loud, annoying sound

When Shidou's hearing and vision gradually returned That white light gradually softened and disappeared

he slowly opened his eyes and-----

In front of him right now was a scene of desolation

The neighborhood that once existed disappeared in an instant in a long straight line

When Shidou's ears were able to hear a little bit more, he heard Kotori's voice

<> Kotori

"A---Listen, I'll leave immediately" Shidou

Saying that, Shidou stood up unsteadily

But before he left, he turned around to look at the place where the fight was taking place

His limbs are still shaking

That spirit girl remained in the same spot while all the AST members were defeated

He looked at the scene in front of him with fear

He didn't know if he would be able to recover if he was hit by such a devastating attack

He turned his back and ran away not daring to look back to that side of the war

While he was running, he heard another loud bang but he didn't dare to look back

But then he heard Kotori's voice through the earphone

<> Kotori

Shidou who heard that immediately stopped and turned his head to look at the area of ​​the battle just now

He could see some figures of AST staggered to his feet Looking at people suffering just to walk made Shidou think about that spirit

<< Found her! Looks like she's hiding. Alright Shidou go back to the ship, we'll try to convince her after we have more information>> Kotori

But instead of following Kotori's orders, Shidou spoke up

"Send me her location, I'll go there and talk to her" Shidou said with determination.

He remembers seeing the surviving members of AST before

With that power, if she wanted to, she could easily destroy the entire AST team but she chose not to.

And that was the only reason why Shidou still believed in the spirit just now

<< No, that's too dangerous. didn't you see that attack of hers what if she accidentally hit you with them?>> Kotori

"But don't you see that she didn't kill anyone?" Shido

Hearing Shidou's words, Kotori was silent for a while and then asked Reine

<> Kotori

<> Reine

After Reine's report, Kotori was silent for a while and then spoke

<> Kotori

"Thank you" Shidou

After that, Kotori told the location of that spirit girl and the shortest route

When he got there, he saw the figure of that spirit girl

Her blue hair goes all the way down to her back and looks like she's trying to reassure herself

"Ah... um... hey---!" Shido

But before she could say anything more, she disappeared and appeared in front of Shidou with the tip of her sword close to Shidou's face

Her long blue hair covered part of her face

But Shidou could still feel the killing intent radiating from it

Her golden eyes now look like those of a predator

Sharp and alert

<> Kotori also seemed to panic at this action of the spirit in front of her

After Kotori's panicked screams came Reine's voice

<> Reine said in her usual calm voice.

Hearing Reine's words, Shidou quickly knew what to do

"Wait--- I don't mean bad.... please calm down...." Shido

Even if he knew what to do, having his sword pointed at him still scared him

"Who are you, what have you come here for?"

The spirit girl kept a cold voice and spoke

"I-My name is itsuka Shido, I came here just to help you and didn't mean anything wrong" said Shidou with a scared face.

Hearing Shidou's explanation, the spirit girl in front of her suddenly had a complicated expression

Then she looked at Shidou again as if to judge him

She finally lowered the blade from Shidou's face

"Yes, I believe you. But what about those devices. What about the headset, the drone, and the giant ship on it?"

The spirit girl in front of her said something that shocked both him and the entire Fraxinus crew.

<>

Kotori said with an annoyed expression.

<> Kotori

After being ordered by Kotori, Shidou slowly opened his mouth to say

"These are from the organization organization " Shido

"?" The spirit girl repeated Shidou's words with a puzzled look

"The organization is an organization established for the purpose of saving spirits" Shidou tried to explain as concisely as possible.

Shidou said and looked at the spirit girl with eyes expecting a response

"'Save'?"

She asked and Shidou just nodded and continued talking

"That's right, we save the spirits by sealing their spiritual energy and giving them a normal life" Shidou

However, contrary to Shidou's thoughts that the girl in front of him would nod and follow him, she spoke up.

"I don't need it" Her words surprised Shidou

"Why?" Shido

"Because I have more important things to do."

"Is it more important? than being chased by the AST?" Shido

"That's right" She said another sentence that surprised him

Shidou

"What is that----" Shidou

However, just as Shidou finished his sentence, he heard Kotori's voice

<> Kotori

After Kotori's announcement, Shidou spoke up

"Hey, it's dangerous here, or---" Shidou

However, before Shidou finished speaking, she interrupted Shidou's words

"No need, I'll take care of everything and you get out of here" Rimuru

Shidou was surprised that the spirit girl in front of him seemed to have discovered the AST group as well

"No way! it's not---" Shidou

Once again, before Shidou finished his sentence, he heard a voice coming from Rimuru

"You're so stubborn."

After that sentence

Suddenly the place where he stood right now was not a small alley anymore

Which is----

In the control room of Fraxinus every crew member present looked at him in surprise

Even Kotori is like that....

All eyes on the train were looking at Shidou with surprise
