The death match between the Demon Country Federation and the Holy Church had many masterminds behind it.
Among them, the most powerful were the Freedom Association's Commander, Kagurazaka Yuuki, and Demon Lord Clayman.
Seeing that the Holy Church and the Demon Country Federation had completely erupted in fury, Yuuki and Clayman were both delighted.
Hatred is like that; if it has little to do with oneself, perhaps the feelings aren't deep.
But if a loved one perishes, then it becomes a thorough, unending vendetta.
The Demon Country Federation and the Holy Church had completely erupted in fury, and both sides began fighting desperately, as viciously as possible.
As for Shion, it was even more exaggerated.
Her great tachi slashed horizontally and vertically, every move a fatal blow, each capable of shattering mountains and breaking peaks, completely disregarding the consumption of magicules.
The Prince of Light, Renard, was beaten without any power to parry, narrowly escaping death repeatedly!
Benimaru was known as the "Ogre King," Shuna was hailed as the "Ogre Princess," Souei was called the "Dark Ninja," but Shion's nicknames were "Evil Ogre" and "Tyrant."
Although Shion usually referred to herself as Rimuru's secretary, she was actually more like a bodyguard.
She was a complete and utter brute!
If it was a simple contest of strength and magicules, Shion even surpassed Benimaru!
"Kill you!"
"Kill you!"
"Kill you!"
The sacrifice of Hakuro drove Shion completely insane, her soul seemingly ignited, transforming into the most primal combat power.
In the face of life and death, who would care about decorum?
Renard completely abandoned his knightly decorum and directly summoned the knights behind him, gathering all their magicules into his body.
The influx of magicules from a team of Holy Knights brought an extremely terrifying burden to Renard's body, but it also brought him unprecedented combat power.
Once his magicules soared to their peak, he directly slashed at Shion with a sword.
Facing that terrifying sword energy that threatened to tear everything apart, Shion had no intention of dodging.
At this moment, she had only one thought: to chop Renard's body into pieces, crush his soul, and torture him to death.
Shion put her great tachi on her back and, facing the oncoming sword energy, unleashed the most violent blow of her life.
Shion's blade energy instantly swallowed Renard's sword energy and slashed back!
Renard was instantly stunned by Shion's violent blade energy, his body momentarily forgetting to move.
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: This is impossible!
The next second, Renard was swallowed by a dazzling white light.
And Shion, having unleashed everything in one strike, also collapsed to her knees, exhausted.
Looking towards where Hakuro lay fallen, Shion, gasping for breath, was already in tears.
If only she were stronger!
Just then, a voice rang out in her mind, a voice called the World's Voice.
"Confirmation complete, Unique skill comprehension successful."
"Confirmation complete, Unique skill acquisition successful."
Just like Shion's side, the battlefields of Benimaru, Geld, William, Gobta, and all other factions were raging.
Fritz of the Wind, as Hinata's ardent fan, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a sycophant.
But at this moment, he actually watched helplessly as Hinata-senpai died in front of him.
Unforgivable!
Unforgivable!
Unforgivable!
Facing Shuna, Fritz completely abandoned his decorum, becoming unscrupulous and making every move lethal.
And why would Shuna be any different?
Hakuro treated her like a daughter!
Although Shuna always knew that Hakuro doted on her largely because he had transferred his feelings for his daughter, Momiji, onto her.
But what did that matter?
Slaughter!
The most brutal slaughter!
At the city gate.
Myulan, who had not yet joined the battle, and all the other demonoids, turned pale.
The battle was too brutal; if they continued to fight so fiercely, the Demon Country Federation would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
"Rimuru-sama, aren't you going to make a move?"
Myulan felt it was somewhat difficult to understand. As their revered co-ruler, facing such a brutal slaughter, how could Rimuru remain so composed?
Did My Lord not care about the casualties of My Lord's subordinates at all?
"She's here, it's time for me to make a move too."
Rimuru said, taking a step forward, and time and space seemed to freeze, the most brutal slaughter completely stopping.
One could even see the angry faces of both sides attacking each other!
The warring parties had no idea what had happened, not even perceiving Rimuru's existence.
Of course, there was one exception.
She was small in stature, wearing a luxurious black Gothic dress, with long silver hair, beautiful and ethereal.
Her demeanor was rather aloof; even though her actions were saving people, her face still didn't show much expression.
However, as Rimuru made a move, the small, cold, and beautiful queen slowly turned her head and looked at Rimuru.
At this moment, a violent emotional change appeared in her beautiful eyes for the first time!
As the oldest pure-blood Vampire progenitor, Luminas could be said to be one of the oldest Demon Lords.
She had not only awakened long ago but also possessed an Ultimate skill, capable of controlling life and death.
Of course, even without considering her ultimate abilities, her capabilities in all aspects were ridiculously powerful.
She had three hobbies: cooking, music, and beating up Storm Dragon Veldora.
One can imagine her strength!
Feeling the sense of time and space stagnation around her, Luminas couldn't help but be shocked.
Space-type abilities were one thing, but what surprised her was that Rimuru also possessed time-type abilities.
Ultimate ability, this must be an Ultimate ability!
At this instant, Luminas couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Just think about how much effort and how long it took her to obtain an Ultimate skill.
Now, Rimuru, this junior who appeared out of nowhere, had directly obtained an Ultimate skill.
It's too unfair!
However, as the oldest Demon Lord, the pure-blood Vampire progenitor, Luminas would not admit defeat so easily.
"Demon Lord Rimuru, you really know how to give me surprises!"
Looking at Luminas in her Gothic dress, Rimuru couldn't help but smile. It had to be said, Luminas was truly breathtaking.
Rimuru had a good impression of this Demon Lord.
"Surprise? What kind of surprise is this? Since you mentioned surprise, then I'll truly give you one!"
Rimuru said, snapping My Lord's fingers directly.
Then, a spatial gate opened, leading directly to the Holy Empire of Ruberios, to one of Luminas's most deeply hidden courtyards.
This was the largest underground area in the Holy Empire of Ruberios; besides Pope Ray, Junda, and a few other trusted confidants, no one else knew about it.
After the spatial gate opened, an ice coffin was directly transferred over.
Seeing everything Rimuru had done, the aloof Luminas went completely insane.
"You! What! Did! You! Do! To! My! Beloved! Person?!"
As a long-lived Vampire progenitor, there weren't many things Luminas cared about.
The Luminas Church, which regarded her as a god, was merely her toy; the Holy Empire of Ruberios, which ruled tens of millions of people and was a hegemon of the West, Luminas cared nothing for, it was dispensable.
But the existence in the ice coffin was Luminas's everything, her most beloved person!
What Luminas never expected was that Rimuru, with a mere snap of My Lord's fingers, had taken away her most cherished existence.
Taken away!
Luminas went berserk, directly using the Ultimate skill's power to control life and death to strip Rimuru of My Lord's life.
But the next second, Luminas was astonished to find that her strongest skill, after completely striking Rimuru's body, had no effect whatsoever.
Let alone stripping My Lord's life, it couldn't even make Rimuru bleed.
How could this be?
Luminas was completely dumbfounded; this was unimaginable for her, who had always stood at the ceiling of combat power.
"Impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
To reclaim her beloved, Luminas attacked frantically, but it had no effect whatsoever; she couldn't even get close to Rimuru.
She was only a few steps away from Rimuru, yet it was as if there was a celestial river between them!
"Impossible, even the strongest Guy couldn't be as calm as you are when facing my attacks. Rimuru, who exactly are you?"
Looking at the beauty sealed in the ice coffin, Rimuru couldn't help but smile.
As expected of the strongest hero, Chronoa; even when sealed, her power could still be felt.
It was just that her soul was too violent, almost losing its sanity.
"Forget it, I'll help out!"
Rimuru thought for a moment, then with a flick of My Lord's small hand, the ice coffin, made entirely of holy spirit power, simply vanished.
With the disappearance of the sealed ice coffin, Chronoa, who had completely lost her sanity, immediately went berserk.
"Demon Lord, kill!"
She immediately used her Unique skill, slashing towards Rimuru.
But Rimuru waved My Lord's hand casually, and Chronoa fell back into slumber.
Luminas was completely desperate; Rimuru was too strong, all her efforts were in vain.
Thud!
The desperate Luminas directly knelt on the ground; at this point, she had no other choice but to do so.
"I beg you, don't kill her. All of this is due to my inability to restrain my subordinates. If you want to vent your anger, then come at me. You can kill me or flay me, just please direct it all at me!"
Seeing Luminas, who had cast aside all dignity and was crying like a pear blossom bathed in rain, Rimuru couldn't help but feel a headache.
My Lord had gone a little too far!
"Who said I was going to kill her? Chronoa's original name is Chloe, and she is my benefactor. Haven't you always wanted to heal her soul?"
The desperate Luminas suddenly looked up, hardly daring to believe My Lord's ears.
"You… You can heal her?"
Feeling the restraints on her body disappear, Luminas immediately rushed to the side of the sleeping Chronoa.
Stroking her sleeping face, Luminas immediately smiled.
"Rimuru, if you can heal her, I am willing to pay any price—including myself!"
Rimuru shook My Lord's head, "What do I need you for? Don't you have a beloved person!"
Luminas's cheeks flushed, and she said shyly, "That… that… you don't discriminate against Chronoa and me both being girls or anything!"
Rimuru: "Discriminate against what? Alright, let me heal Chronoa!"
"Oh, oh!"
Luminas immediately turned into a good girl, shrinking into a small ball and squatting to the side.
Ensuring she could see Chronoa without disturbing Rimuru's healing!
Seeing Luminas in her small, bundled state, Rimuru couldn't help but smile wryly.
Is your shrinking skill the same as Nezuko's?
"Ciel, the precise operation will be executed by you!"
"Okay!"
Ciel's voice came, and Rimuru was suddenly a little surprised?
Okay?
Ciel seemed very happy? Why?
Along with the soul switch, Rimuru's golden hair instantly turned silver-white.
Luminas was utterly astonished. What exactly was this?
Seeing an orange-yellow gem appear in Rimuru's hand.
Luminas was completely stunned; the power of a deity within the gem surged directly into her heart.
What kind of supreme treasure was this gem?
Luminas didn't know, but at this moment, infinite hope arose in her heart.
Rimuru might really have a way to heal Chronoa!
This is truly wonderful!
Compared to Chronoa's safety, what did the Holy Church, the Holy Empire of Ruberios, or the Knights Templar matter?
