Razen, who stood near the pinnacle of mages, lacked no means of attack. What he sought was an ageless body and robust physique.
So, Shogo could not die... absolutely not!
As for Rimuru...
Razen, a magic-born with hundreds of thousands of magicules, feared no Demon Lord!
Boom!!
Unfortunately, Razen had clearly overestimated his strength.
Azure flames flickered like the night sky, surrounded by orbiting stars... beautiful yet deadly.
This was the power Rimuru gained from Damien after acquiring Stardust simulation.
She called it the Starflame.
A flame of creation and destruction capable of igniting all things, even burning through the rules themselves.
It could heal wounds and revive the dead.
It could also annihilate souls and erase existence.
Life and death hung on Rimuru's whim alone!
"What is this?!"
At that moment, endless azure star flames enveloped Razen and the others, restricting their movements while completely blocking all perception of the outside world.
"Alright."
"No one will interfere with us now."
Rimuru held the star flames in her left hand, while her right materialized a thumb-width silver longsword. "This won't end too quickly, you disgusting scum!"
Smack, smack, smack.
Damien, sensing the commotion from the distant forest, clicked his tongue.
Honestly, Razen and a few hundred human soldiers amounted to, at best, a Demon Lord Seed and a group of B-rank adventurers.
Yet they had drawn the attention of two True Demon Lords, both wielding top-tier ultimate abilities.
That alone surpassed the legacy of the Storm Dragon.
"What's happening over there?"
Albis and Suphia, supporting each other to stay upright, barely kept from collapsing again.
The two women glanced at Damien, then at Treyni, who stood respectfully by his side like a maid.
Despite some changes in appearance, Treyni still bore a striking resemblance to the legendary dryad.
There was no doubt... she was the guardian of the great forest!
"Want to see?"
Damien asked the two women. They exchanged a glance and nodded eagerly. "Yes!"
"Treyni."
"Yes, Lord Damien."
Treyni raised her hand, and ripples of water appeared in the air, displaying the events unfolding in the distance.
The first sight to greet the women was a field of charred remains and molten iron.
All five hundred human soldiers, without exception, had been incinerated by Rimuru's star flames.
From flesh to soul, all turned to ash.
Only pure soul energy remained, absorbed by Rimuru and channeled through the Corridor of Souls to Justeaze's hands.
"Now, only you three remain."
Within the flames, only Razen, Kyoya, and Kirara still struggled to hold on.
No, to be precise, Razen was expending vast amounts of magic to maintain a barrier, barely resisting Rimuru's absolute incineration.
"So strong!"
"What kind of flames are those?"
Even through the screen, Albis and Suphia could feel the terror of Rimuru's flames.
It was a primal fear from the depths of their souls, a dread of a force capable of utterly annihilating them.
They must not touch those flames!
A single touch would mean eternal damnation!
"Is she holding back?"
Damien didn't believe Razen could withstand Rimuru's star flames.
If she wished, burning through magic would be a mere thought.
Crack!
The next moment, as Rimuru's will shifted, Razen's magic shield shattered instantly.
Along with it went his contingency... a preset spatial magic meant to let him escape in times of danger.
"Argh!!"
A spark of star flame landed on the arm Razen used to grip his staff.
An unprecedented pain surged, as if thousands of blades were slicing through his body.
Swish!
Without hesitation, Razen severed his right arm.
"Huff… huff…"
Watching his arm turn to ash in an instant, Razen broke out in a cold sweat. Enduring the agony, he inwardly rejoiced at his decisiveness.
'That was close…'
'Just a little more, and I would've been dead!'
Without experiencing it firsthand, one could never comprehend the terror of these azure star flames.
They didn't just burn flesh... they seemed to incinerate the soul itself.
Such an unreasonable power finally instilled fear in Razen. "P-Please, calm down!"
"I think there might be some misunderstanding."
If not for the last shred of dignity as a great mage, Razen would've let out a pathetic plea: Can we talk this out?
"Even now, you say such things?"
"Invading our territory, causing destruction, and slaughtering lives at will."
Rimuru didn't bother listing the crimes that might happen in a possible future but hadn't yet occurred.
Baseless accusations were meaningless.
Their role was merely to strengthen Rimuru's resolve to deliver the ultimate punishment to these scum!
"No, don't, I-I don't want to die!"
Kirara, watching Rimuru approach step by step, collapsed in fear, even wetting herself.
"Damn it!!"
Kyoya was trembling too, but he hadn't completely given up.
"Argh!!"
In the next moment, Kyoya kicked Kirara in the back, sending her reeling in pain toward Rimuru.
Time seemed to freeze.
All-Seeing Eye!
Kyoya's extra skill allowed his mind and senses to operate and calculate at thousands of times the speed of a normal person.
Paired with his Slasher skill, it was a nightmare for any fragile opponent.
"!!!"
This act of betraying his teammate caught Rimuru off guard.
But before she could feel disgust at Kyoya's actions, a blade pierced through Kirara's heart, aimed straight at Rimuru's face.
[Sacrifice Complete]
[Congratulations on acquiring the new Unique Skill Deathstrike Blade]
[Deathstrike Blade]
Description: Once per day, unleash all magicules, ignoring any physical rules or magic resistance, to deal true damage to the enemy.
"I knew it!! Hahaha! This power is incredible!!"
Hearing the Voice of the World in his ears, Kyoya's expression grew increasingly manic. "Die, you filthy monster!!!"
