Spirits and Hinata Sakaguchi
As we entered the labrynth we could hear murmurs of spirits.I then asked out "we come hear to seek the spirit queen's help"
Then a voice echoed "Oh are you worthy of that, then you should pass the trial first"
Followed by sudden appearance of a gigantic elemental Colossus. Kids got scared and I put a barrier around them and then went forward.
Elemental colossus was slow in my eyes it went forward to use it's magicule strengthened physical attack towards me.
I stopped it's attack by a finger using domain manipulation with magic domination and absolute vector control. I redirected it and flicked my fingers on the heart of it for it to immediately burst apart and I used beelzebuth to consume it.
Children were excited to see me stopping it with one finger ands saying " sensei Superman" But the spirit queen's hiding is murmuring in confusion how it got destroyed so easily. "Ramiris come out or I will knock you out like this too",I yelled and she did came out with a salute.
After explaining about children and accusing her of using of mindcontrol ,playing around with us and me consoling with sweets and promise to create a new golem, she agreed to take us to dwelling and there we are.
I put my hands over Gale and absorbed lesser spirits using beelzebuth and using creatorX amplified and created a new ego from information obtained from ifrit high spirit to form a pseudo superior spirit earth and integrated with Gale. First attempt was using great sage so since I know how to do it, I did the computation myself and formed a sky superior spirit for Alice, For kyota a high spirit appeared and before he could say anything I used beelzebuth to engulf and analyse the spirit and strengthens the spirit and let it out. He seemed surprised by the sudden boost in strength and went inside Kenya after saying thank you.
For Ryota a mizukaze superior spirit is formed as earlier and integrated it.
Lastly Chloe saying love me made me carry her over to platform like Alice.
I know something going to happen, I asked her to close eyes and pray. Unlike before I slowly traced my steps back, then dwelling suddenly shook and even got the time axis affected and chronoa Manas appeared.
It reached me in an instant and kissed me but this time we really got kissed as my spiritual body met hers.She seemed surprised and gave me a peck once more before dodging Ramiris attack and went inside Chloe.
She opened her eyes in confusion and recollection. I took her back.
Ramiris was freaking out how I did the impossible by creating superior spirits and meeting a spirit from future.
I consoled her with food and talked about Leon Cromwell and my bestie Milim.
I got spacial travel skill by analysing the spirit sky and integrating spacial aspect to shadow motion and teleport magic and domain effects subskill manipulation I instantly got spacial domination.
I then met the kids.
They all seem surprised and happy about their spirits except Chloe who is giving me side glances with slight blushing.
I then revealed who I am to the kids.
In my slime form.
They all seem somewhat takenback and started hugging me and were excited about how I satisfied shizhu's wishes.
"Shizue San is alive you know"
They were again for a surprise as earlier during at the academy I said to them about shizhues story as she died.
" I don't trust that yukki guy. He seemed trustworthy but he used thought manipulation on me and shizu. Now that your magicules are stabilized and even if you were to get a unique skills or anything, do not say anything to him about your skill or how you get your spirits and energy stabilized as he may be magically bound to tell his superiors which may prompt further summonings in future as you could be effectively used as a war weapon."
The kids got scared and understood the gravity of the situation.
"Well you can see shizue now" then I used mimicry to form the body of shizue and given shizue subspace temporary access to by body. She immediately started hugging and crying the children and explained her situation of how rimuru saved her.
Chloe looked very jealous now. She then changed back to me and I gave copy of spatial travel skill to Chloe through soul corridor formed earlier with the kiss chronoa gave me, and Alice through spirit manipulation and creatorX to engrave it.For
Chloe I don't know may not need it but she is getting used to her power now having that skill would be good.
I gave her an private instruction through soul corridor that if in future she noticed herself and others are in danger or some suspicion from others, gather at place and Teleport to Tempest while making sure that it doesn't feel like a kidnapping situation otherwise I might have future problems.I gave her coordinate information.She is already welcome.
She also asked me who the entity before is, all I answered her is that it might be a Manas as I have a nucleic heart like that. She also doesn't have access to my memories.
She nodded and went back to the group.
About Ramiris I used previous life model to create a robot figure with many universal joints to freely move and used materials similar to my sword and added to the golem body. Used demon summoning, Beretta came and I commanded her to be servant of Ramiris.
Ramiris was happy and I said to her " You suggested you were under poverty right. I have a job at Tempest for you. You don't need to be an unemployed shut in anymore. If you can move your labrynth over there I will be happy."
She was both offended and happy at the same time.kids laughed.
" Not now spirit queen Ramiris, I have a premonition that some thing will happen in my way, so we can see you after a while K?"
We left the labrynth and used spatial domination to move kids back.
I explained to yukki that kids are fine and I will be taking my leave from tomorrow onwards.
I said goodbye to students and gave them dresses and Chloe the original mask and then went to walk away from kingdom.
Now with universal sense I could already see hinata waiting for me inside the wide range anti magic and holy field barrier.
I asked shizue to see with me.My eyes turned heterochromatic.
I then went to field not before giving a thought communication to shadow realm to souei not engage and go back to tempest.
This time I saw how she came and I just waited for her.
She sees this and walked to me saying "Good for you find out,Rimuru Tempest but any way this will be my last goodbye to you"
" Or not " I said while smiling.
" You seem to know me and expect this" she asked.
" Shizue was very enthusiastic about how bright you are every time she talked about you" i said.
"Stop with your words,Monster, You killed her didn't you thats why you got your form right?
Your country is a nuisance, so we decided to obliterate it.So I can't let you leave now"
" Hinata Sakaguchi, the Captain of western holy church imperial guard I have one thing to say to you, I didn't kill her. How you know about my face as I always wear the mask.?"
" Well for one it's the mask she wore,you are wearing and secondly we have our resources.I am not interested in the words of monster any way let stop this meaningless tounge exercise."
With that she tried to attack me at close.
Magic sense was not working but universal sense did and I coated my self and my sword with with nullity barrier improved with spiritual resistance and easily parried her swings; as a Manas core semi digital life form I didn't really feel any disturbances at all.
"How were you able to move so fast"
She tried to attack me but with probability calculation with my own calculation improved. I prepared for this.She couldn't even reach me because my thought acceleration reaches nearly 1,00,000 times as I am a Manas core same as Raphael but still unique level.
And my body could also keep up with that speed.
For her even if she tried her usurper skill due to anti skillX , great sage and my control it is blocked. She was shocked.
She used dead end rainbow. I used beelzebuth and her sword is gone.
She then tried restraint spells and I just stayed there letting me get restraint and she started chanting disintegration spell.
When the spell just completely formed and start the attack.
I used "overdrive" to interrupt the holy magic with holymagic itself.
She stutters" How are you using holy magic??" Letting out of the stupor, she used her other sword and used holy energy Armor and put melt slash as final attempt.
I immediately used vector manipulation in my sword along with domain control with spiritual particle control while great sage evoked beelzebuth and antiskillX.
Her sword is gone.
She sat on ground against the barrier looking at me while I am standing and she may be trying some last minute hole cards.
"You know I don't plan to kill you so you can stop your communication to outside and just listen to what I have to say once."
Great sage interfered the thought message passing through the barrier I cast.
"Let me guess, this private source you speak is some random eastern merchant?,"
She seemed shocked at how I know about this and then more shocked with more replies from me.
" You seem to be confused hinata, let me make myself clear, I felt yukki was somewhat shady right from the start, he also has a unawakened demon lord level office secretary with him hmm, well for that guy to contact you directly would be not possible with the cunningness of that guy and I also has private sources.
My adventure identity is known to public and not my title as king of monsters so among adventurer trio friends with shizue,yukki, the children, mjyornmiles, demonlords I know ,'yukki and his secretary', definitely falls into that fit since he tried to use thought manipulation on me at first.
Anyway I have spiritual attack and holy attack nullifications. Why do you think I will die!
Shizue, she is not really dead. Outside world is so manipulative right?
I am angry now you know. For yukki to influence you through informing of her death and make you unable to notice the thought restraint on you? May be I am wrong; Well your knights supporting the barrier are small fries , is it possible that the bright minded hinata gone for a one on one battle with king of monsters without proper information. How naive of you?"
I put myself on guard activated mind calm with domain manipulation over hinata and remotely undid the thought restraint on her using my both unique skills by interfernce, she seemed jolted awake . While maintaining barrier around me, I reached near her put my fingers under her chin to lift up her face and said:
"Look at my face specially my right eye, it seems it is tearing right? , it's not mine it is shizzue tears for you. She is inside my soul seeing what I see. I protected her soul at the beginning.
You didn't belive me right. Good for you. Her meeting with you will be later.
And I know from your mouth my country is under attack. I will assure you I won't leave single enemy alive and remember you are the ones who made me the monster who you thought I am.
And since you want to know how I use holy magic ask your leader. I now know since I can use it probably some other demonlords or heroes also can right?."
" Is that teacher?" She pointed to my eye color changing back.
After the harsh words, I paused for a moment thinking from her perspective ,she is mislead right. I can't bring my anger anymore to her for she is shizue student.
I changed my tone to normal
"I just removed the thought guidance skill used on you which made you impulsive.
Yes she was shizue and she went back. You know now that I think about it only yukki can't afford to make orc lord incident, charybdis, manipulating you, making me fight you, he is definitely involved but there is a high chance it is a group of interested people behind this, so"
She looked at me with confusion.
" If you are planning to confront directly, better leave that idea aside there are many powerful beings hidden so we are not in a level field. May be even the people from church also involved."
" I am an otherworlder just like you,but reincarnated.Shizue is alive. For her children I have stabilized their energy, So is these facts comforting you into believing me?
If you give me a chance how about we play a game to bring those out? After you leave here, say that you have defeated me but when interested people will hear that I fought against falmuth they will think that I somehow managed to escape from you without noticing right?Only advantageous to you"
" ...You,You are cunning.What's your goal?" She said.
"To live in peace with people I hold dear. Yes I have to be cunning to my enemies, otherwise I won't be able to live here any longer. Hiding my abilities is a best way to lure them out.Unlike you I was branded the enemy of mankind the moment I born here.
So how about this? Are you in?"
She stared at me..contemplating
" You know Hinata, I love to have a staring contest with you later, we can even invite shizue but my people are vulnerable at the moment ok so make this fast "
She nodded.
" Well then goodbye"
I made myself invisible and undid the illusion of myself playing as in plot which I asked great sage to generate previously just for the spies and then swing my sword at the barrier now that great sage has analysed it was easily broken down, while she closed her eyes contemplating I went outside the barrier using spatial domination I used warp to teleport to Tempest.
