Foolish Kazaream

Souei and Laplace

squared off against each other, grasping for each other’s openings.

They fell into a

deadlock after several bouts of offense and defense in the blink of an eye.

All of Laplace’s unseen

knives that were thrown towards Souei in the beginning had pierced Souei’s

body.

Laplace thought that he

had killed Souei with his surprise attack, but it was no more than a parallel

existence that Souei had created.

Souei is being cautious.

Against the enemy that

he seen for the first time, he must not act like challenging him carelessly.

Regardless of whether or

not he will lose or win and whether or not the enemy is superior or inferior,

Souei didn’t let his guard down.

「

Is this how you fight? With such

strength, even if you fight fair and square you would be quite good.

」

「

Hahaha, I’ll receive th’ praise, but I

think I juist want to enjoys ‘n’ win.

Still…… you’re verry

troublesome, Nii-san

[1]

.

Even though I act

because I culd see a certain vision of I killing ye, t’was just an imitation.

Just like what my

intuition says, to withdraw is th’ correct answer.

」

Laplace prepared several

knives in his hand while shaking his head in disappointment.

And, from his mouth

comes an enjoying smile.

Just like his title as

Wonder Clown, Laplace is enjoying fighting as something to live for.

He pursued the presence

of the Souei’s main body while killing all of the created mirror images.

He analyze the magic

power wave that Souei releases and might be said that he memorized it.

「

Oh, how skillful. Carelessly intercepting

it is difficult heh.

」

One of the clones

exploded at the same time as it repelled Laplace’s knife.

It seemed to be a bomb

which disguised as a knife.

And in addition to that,

it’s spirit bomb. Having all of 7 attributes, it’s an object that contains the

Omnipotent attribute to counter the Demonic and the Holy attributes.

「

Hehehe. Since Nee-san’s attribute is th’ Omnipotent

attribute, I have receive a bit o’ it.

To be frank, isn’t it

impossible for ye to defeat Nee-san who have both demonic ‘n’ holy attribute?

Although that Nii-san is

also extremely dangerous, but it woull be less embarrassing if ye just be

obedient, ye know?

」

「

Do you really think so?

」

「

――well, I guess sae? Och well, I wull

only force ye to stay here.

I don’t know whither

there’s a lot o’ real body or fake ones―― mibbie it’s all real―― a clone user

is really troublesome.

You see, even when I

don’t know th’ real body, if I surround ye wi’ spirit bomb, even you’d not be

able toe do anythin’ richt?

」

All of the knives have

been already camouflaged by Laplace’s Unique Skill

『

Deceiver

』

.

Or rather, only his word

is feigned, all of the knives are spirit bomb.

Without hesitation, he

intended to kill Souei.

「

FFu. Surround me you say? Such thing will

be not significant if I can transfer.

」

While Souei says so, he

transfers with

『

Space Control

』

.

That’s all according to

Laplace’s plan.

「

Hahahahha! Nii-san, ye don’t seem to be

careful.

The Spirit Bombs had

been configured to chain explode due to dimensional vibration.

It woull flows all at

once into th’ distorted space o’ transfer series skill ‘n’ explode inside it!

If ye receive that

explosion, this side wull get entangled too ‘n’ receive damage, so t’was

fearful ye know.

Well, th’ cause o’ yer

defeat is that ye didn’t notice mah puppet strings which had wrapped ye around.

」

Laplace wraps the knife

with his puppet strings and let it twined around Souei.

Not only just that, he

linked the knife with the other knives, which were flying nearby, and set it to

react to the movement of the other clones.

Hypothetically, if Souei

didn’t use his transfer ability, there would be no problem even if Souei come

charging while ignoring the spirit bombs.

Because even if most of

this audience hall got blown away, it would be easy to retrieve his comrade

that is Tear and Footman and to escape.

Laplace fiddled with the

timing of the explosion as it was not a problem for him.

After all, with his

Unique Skill

『

Seer

』

, he could see it clearly Souei’s figure

being swallowed up by the explosion.

Without hesitation,

Laplace begun his attack with conviction that he could surely kill Souei.

Laplace laughs loudly,

pleased that his plan would end well.

「

Sorry, it’s a bad place for you to be

pleased so much, but let’s end this soon.

」

Laplace heard a cold

voice from his back.

And then, he cannot hide

his surprise as a straight sword

[2]

stuck out from his chest.

Laplace can’t understand

what happened.

「

This can’t be……

」

Could do nothing but to

speak such stupid word.

It was simple when the

truth was revealed.

Souei from the beginning

concealed his main body in the darkness.

It was not his main body

which was surrounded by the bombs, it was only one of his parallel existence.

He calculated the

position of Leon’s castle with “Eye of the Moon” of his Ultimate Gift

『

Shadow Moon

[3]

Lord Tsukuyomi

』

and carried out a direct transfer to the

inside of the barrier.

And then, he concealed

his main body with shadow using

『

Law

Manipulation (Shadow)

』

and launch a

surprise attack with the effect of “One-hit Kill”.

Without any sign of

naivety like Benimaru, that’s Souei’s way of fighting.

But――

「

Geez. I never think that mah younger

brother…… would git so easily killed lik’ this――

」

「

Younger brother, you say? Mu!?

」

In response of the blood

thirst, Souei jumped aside from that spot.

With the eyes which

foresee everything, he sensed a danger simultaneously with an uncomfortable

feeling.

At the same time, the

knife which stuck in Laplace’s corpse was scattered by the explosion of the

body.

If his evasion was a bit

late, Souei would rolled up in the explosion and would not come out unharmed.

「

Just kidding~! Did ye really think that I

have a younger brother?

To tell you th’ truth, I

have a similar ability as ye too.

The truth is, just lik’

you I hud thought to dae a surprise attack, but that won’t be guid, hence I

reveal myself.

Well~ it’s been a while.

For mah clone to be killed!

」

Laplace spouts lies

brazenly while preparing his surprise attack.

He narrows his eyes and

smiles.

His behavior of making

fool of someone is just like him, a hedonist.

Marionette Master

Clayman.

Laplace is Clayman’s

master. He made a magic doll which modeled after himself and manipulated it

with automatic operation.

And, his target――

「

Well then, it’s been a long time since I

rampaging seriously.

For underestimating me,

I’ll show ye a painful experience. It’s time for ye tae be prepared!]

「

It’s you who need to be prepared. You

need to stop the foolish delusions such as you defeating me, and you should

immediately return to the darkness.

」

And the two people

fought each other and their fight reached a deadlock.

Benimaru and Kazaream

had broken through the barrier which Miazari had set up and also the city

barrier, the two were now having a battle airspace high above.

Kazaream begins to

violently attacking Benimaru taking the advantage of his enormous energy.

The fight between a

fellow spiritual lifeform could be said as a struggle to investigated the

enemy’s energy. One would win if they deprived the enemy of their power and

decreased their existence power.

His Ultimate Skill was

means for that, Kazaream made Benimaru consume his energy by effectively

releasing his ability.

――No. He was under

impression that he did so.

「

Well, how’s it!! You can’t

counterattack!? What happened with your condescending attitude from before?

」

Kazaream who rely fully

on his power, concentrated his energy to his fists and hits Benimaru

repeatedly.

For Kazaream who been

optimized by his Ultimate Skill

『

Dominion

Lord Melchizedek

』

, he was

convinced that the Octagram won’t be his opponent.

In fact even Leon would

be just like a baby in front of Kazaream.

He was able to see that

Mizari, who had been preaching before, was a worthless existence who could only

receive a single blow from him.

That’s right.

In front of his ultimate

optimization called

『

Holy Demonic

Unification

』

, which

integrated the power of demon and angel, holy and demonic, he was confident

that there was no angel nor demon that could be his equal.

Kazaream thought that

there was no reason for him to lose if himself was above in both quantity and

the quality of the energy.

In fact, he succeed in

offsetting Leon’s holy strike and even Mizari’s demon power equally and adding

a counterattack.

Even if Kazaream does

nothing, his enemies would destroy themselves on their own.

It was the Counter lapse

that Kazaream had devised.

Of course he activated

it when he was attacked.

He let the damage

accumulate by offsetting the attack while depriving the enemy’s energy by

crashing his energy.

He won’t lose unless his

enemy surpasses his energy, it was an ability that ensure certain victory.

And, as one of the Four

Fiends of the Heavenly Commanders who have the strongest power, Kazaream

thought that there was no other existence that’s more superior than himself.

「

What happened!! Are you unable to do

anything when I get serious?

When you realized about

my power, it has already be too late you see.

What a fool. If you

didn’t obstruct me, you would have be able to live a little longer.

I want to see Leon’s

crying face without any delay, so I will kill you soon.

」

Kazaream was about to

finish off Benimaru while laughing evilly.

Kazaream was merry

because of his strengthened ability, he was completely convinced that no one

can oppose him.

Certainly that it’s a

strong ability, it might be not weird for Kazaream to think so.

However, it could be

said that it was a too foolish act.

Kazaream was convinced

that his ability is the strongest and doesn’t have weakness. Therefore, he was

too overconfident with his ability.

That’s why, he didn’t

notice.

His attacks didn’t do

any damage to Benimaru.

「

Ora ora ora ora! How’s that how’s that!!

」

Moreover Kazaream was

getting carried away,

「

Shut up!

」

The fist that Benimaru

threw hit Kazaream’s face.

「

Buboaa!!

」

Just with that one blow,

it had robbed most of Kazaream’s consciousness.

「

Bubaa, ha, a, gaa!?

」

Kazaream turned his gaze

to Benimaru with his eyes opened wide in astonishment.

While looking like he’s

pitying Kazaream, Benimaru pointed out the reality.

「

Your attacks doesn’t work against me at

all you see.

」

So he said.

Kazaream couldn’t

understand the meaning behind Benimaru’s word

That might be so.

Kazaream was conceited

that he had obtained the strongest power; because until just now, he had stood

as the strongest.

And yet, that there is

an enemy whom his attacks wouldn’t work against is something that he would

never deem as possible.

「

Do, don’t be joking! Wha, what a

stupid thing to say!!

Is, is that so…… I

understood! It’s a bluff, you must be bluffing!

Hahaha, what a shrewd

guy. I won’t get deceived by such foolish lie!

」

He unreasonably

interpret the fact on his own.

Then, he condensed his

energy with the maximum output in both his hands, and took a stance toward

Benimaru.

「

You’re finished.

Even if I fall into your

tricks, you would be hopeless in front of my absolute power.

How~ unfortunate! A fool

won’t understand it.

」

Grinning and sprouting a

smile, Kazaream regained his composure and felt the reliable power in both of

his hands.

「

Well then, good bye. If you want to

resent, resent your own powerlessness! Arc Depression (Ruler’s Melancholy)!!!

What he had shot out was

a dreadful energy wave that could be called as Holy Demonic Wave Cannon which

would rapidly exhaust the target’s energy.

Even with speed

surpassing dozens of times the speed of sound, it might be impossible to avoid

it, and that sure-kill wave was rushing towards Benimaru.

But, there was no change

in Benimaru’s expression, with his cherished katana “Guren” in his hand, he

calmly took a stance.

「

Do you know? Speed is power. In

other words――

」

Swinging his beloved

katana, Benimaru ward off Kazaream’s sure-kill attack and nullified it with his

Rebirth Flame.

He could have

counterattacked, but he deliberately held back.

Because he was going to

kill Kazaream with the next attack.

「

Ha? Huh!?

」

Kazaream who opened his

eyes wide to their limits was astonished.

He witnessed an

impossible spectacle in front of his eyes and his mind can’t catch up with it.

「

Well, such a dull attack of yours

can’t reach me you know.

In other words, it means

that your attack can’t effect me.

There’s one thing I can

praise you for, you were certainly superior than me only in the total amount of

power.

But, if it’s about the

quality, I’m overwhelming superior than you.

Just that.

Can you understand it?

Then, die! Prominence

Acceleration!!

」

Kazaream’s movement

stopped as he was too astonished and had entered a panic state, received

Benimaru’s special attack.

The black sunlight which

took the shape of an Oriental dragon swallowed half of Kazaream’s body while

moving as if it has its own will.

The quality was exactly

like Benimaru had stated, the nature of the released energy was so terrifying

like a Tyrant.

The reason was because

the nihility energy that his adored and respected master, the Great Demon Lord

Rimuru has.

Some of Rimuru’s

subordinates had approached to the nihility nature of Rimuru through the Soul’s

Corridor.

Therefore, it wasn’t

weird for Benimaru to offsetting Kazaream’s attack which had the holy and

demonic attributes.

It was blocked by Benimaru’s

energy which superior in quality and the attack was nullified.

Although it can’t be

compared with Rimuru the originator, as the original was moving in super high

speed and had enhanced energy, it was still a finishing move.

In all aspects, it may

be said that Benimaru was skillful.

「

Tch. I still can’t control it

perfectly yet.

」

Benimaru grumbled.

Although he had no

complaint about the power, the accuracy didn’t go as he wanted.

The technique was a

technique in which Rimuru instructed Benimaru to imitate Cardinal Acceleration

which was the ultimate attack of the “Scorch Dragon” Velgrind.

Unlike Velgrind who was

a high density spiritual lifeform by nature, it was still premature for

Benimaru to master it, seeing that he had just finished evolving.

But, Benimaru’s ability

was the Ultimate Skill

『

Blazing

Sun

[4]

Lord Amaterasu

』

, with Light and Heat Control

(acceleration) as the abilities crux, there were still a lot of things which he

could learn from Velgrind’s ability.

Or rather――

(It just my guess, but I

think I inherited the ability that Rimuru-sama acquired from Velgrind-sama.)

――Benimaru comprehended.

And―― Zegion, Ranga and

the other, might have inherit the ability from Veldora-sama.

As for Diablo,

(That guy seem to

inherit a direct ability from Rimuru-sama.)

So, he remembered the

opponent he engaged in desperate struggles inside the labyrinth for many times.

Using the labyrinth

characteristic where they can’t die, Benimaru and Diablo had performed real

combat trainings over and over again.

The result was his

complete defeat on every match.

Aside from places the

public can watch such as the Tournament, Diablo never holds back against his

opponent.

(Although it’s good that

I had a glimpse of the end of his strength, that fellow, I’ll beat him

someday!)

‘Kufufufufu’. Benimaru

felt a bit unpleasant as he remembered Diablo’s loud laugh.

Benimaru knew about it,

but recently Diablo seemed to be considerably feigning ignorance in front of

Rimuru.

However, if it might be said that, on the

contrary, it could thought that he was close with Diablo that he could saw his

hidden true self.

While forcibly making

himself agreed to it, Benimaru moved his gaze to Kazaream who fell down and

went towards him to deliver the final blow.
