Ch 75: Black Progenitor vs Sinful king of Lust

In the dense fog that hugged the body, the figures moved without hesitation.

It was Rimuru and Hajime's group.

With Shia in the lead, Rimuru and the others were now heading towards the great tree. It's already been the second day since they arrived in Fair Bergen, the next cycle of the opening of the great tree has finally arrived.

On the way, the magic beasts in the forest made a surprise attack under the mist.

However, Rimuru, Hajime, Chloe, Sakura, Akame, Ciel, Yue, Tio, Kaori, and the Haulian didn't move, they pushed all the work to Kouki and the others for them to deal with it.

Even do Rimuru wanted to Help Shizuku he had no choice but to let her help dealing with monsters.

Since they didn't know what kind of challenge the Haltina Labyrinth awaits them, Kouki and the others were told to warm up by dealing with the magic beasts.

After a few hours of Running, they once again arrive at the front of the Giant tree

"This is... big tree...."

"It's so big..."

"It's so... gigantic."

While raising their heads, they couldn't even see the top of the great tree, Kouki and the others gasped in awe as its width made them feel like they were standing in front of a wall. Surely that was the expression of those who saw this for the first time, Hajime and Yue smiled as they looked at each other.

For Rimuru the Tree is nothing that impressive since on one of the worlds that he had visited There's a Huge tree double the size of these great trees people in that world called it The World Tree.

Rimuru and Hajime then walk towards the lithograph And they take out the Artifact that they got from the other Labyrinth.

"Kam since we will Be entering the Labyrinth now You guys go back to the Hulian village" Rimuru ordered Kam and the other Hulians

"Got it leader, Good luck," Kam said as they left and returned to their Village

While Rimuru is ordering Kam to return Hajime slowly puts the Orcus Great Labyrinth's ring into the lithosphere's void. When it was placed, the lithograph began to glow faintly and the characters appeared.

'Four certifications.'

'The power of regeneration.'

'Instructions of knitted covenants.'

'A path of new challenges will be opened for those who have all of the above.'

"It's the same as last time."

Hajime stepped forward and put the certificates in the lithograph while muttering.

Raisen's Ring, Guruyuuen's Pendant, Merujiine's Coin.

With each one placed on the lithograph, its light grew stronger. And as soon as the last coin was put in, the light flared up and it spread out in front of the great tree, this time the big tree was what shined brightly.

"Mu? A badge appeared on the great tree no ja."

"...Next is, Regeneration magic?"

As Tio muttered in delight, a seven-pointed symbol appeared on the trunk of the great tree. Yue walked over to the glowing symbol and while quietly touching it, she used regeneration magic.

Immediately afterwards The great tree was enveloped in a strong light never seen before, a wave of light continued to spread to the top from the spot Yue touched.

The great tree shines brightly, slowly coming to life as light radiates into every nook and cranny of it as if it were absorbing water from its roots.

"Ah, the leaves...."

Shia pointed at the leaves that were appearing as the tree regained its vitality little by little.

This was almost like watching life come into being, Rimuru together with Hajime and the others watched without blinking with mysterious emotions, the great tree quickly grew and it regained its bright green colour.

A strong wind blew, and the sound of leaves rustling around was resounded. Then, at that moment, suddenly, the tree trunk in front of them split to the sides and a cave appeared.

It was a large cave that could hold several dozen people inside.

"Alright From now on be on guard at all times since we don't know what kind of challenge awaits us from inside," Rimuru said

Then Hajime and the others looked at each other and nodded and then they entered the cave without hesitation.

"Hahaha You've become powerful indeed but you are still the old idiot Demon of the old time and you now serve someone look how far all of you Primordial have fallen, "Asmodeus said

"Kufufufu why don't we stop the chit-chat and get to business," Diablo said

"That's what I like about you, "Asmodeus said as She summons thousands of Demons that serve under her

The soldiers began to Tremble in fear the moment they saw the army of demons

Diablo ignored the summoned Demons but instead turns around And Look at Luminous, Kurumi, and Shiraori and ask

"My Ladies I would like to take on that foe" Diablo ask for permission

"There's no need to ask for our permission Diablo you may do as you wish," Luminous said and the other two just nodded at her words

"Then I will go on and bring victory, "Diablo said as he and Asmodeus Move to a different location to battle each other

"Hahaha that guy might be strong But With that little army, all of you won't last for long" Ivan said as He Continues to Laugh

His words hit the Soldiers since there are only a Few Hundreds of them left against an army of Demons Numbering 20,000 and all of the Demons Are almost at -A rank.

"Then let's Start the.."

*BOOM*

Before Ivan could finish his words An explosion happen on his Back Killing some of the demons That got caught up in the explosion

"What the" Ivan Tried to ask what happened but before he could say that

After the Jets Turns around Magic Energy started to gather in the nose of the plane and after it finished charging It fired off towards the army of demons and Killed them.

"What in the world are those?" Ivan said as she takes a few steps back because of the suck

"Y..Y...Yes sister" Veldora said while sweating Because if he accidentally killed the dragon, Velgrynd angry at him

***

With Diablo and Asmodeus the two are Standing in front of each other not moving a Muscle

"Kufufufu are you just going to stand there?" Diablo ask

"Heh It's been a long time since we see each other Why don't we enjoy this moment I can give you anything you want," Asmodeus said her words were full of Enchantment that can hypnotize most everyone but

"Mind attack won't affect me," Diablo said

For Diablo, a Mind attack won't work Against him because he had Mind attack Resistance and the guy is too loyal to Rimuru that he only Listen to Rimuru's words and To those that are super close to Rimuru an example of this was Rimuru's Fiancé who he is willing to Be of help.

"What now," Asmodeus said

"Trying to Tack my mind and adding lust to make your attack more effective it's a good way To seduce and control someone but"

"But?"

"Your too weak for it to even affect me," Diablo said as he appeared in front of Asmodeus and Punch her in the belly

Asmodeus who do t saw Diablo's Attack got thrown away She tried to get up but another attack hit her on the back

"How are you this powerful?" Asmodeus ask

"Ohh it's this power that is given to me by my Great Master," Diablo said with a proud Voice

"Master? How can a Mortal being given you Power?" Asmodeus ask since she had been sealed for a very long time so she dint know about Rimuru and Velda who takes them in dint said anything about Rimuru who was Diablo's Master

"If you don't want to believe it that's fine," Diablo said

"You" Asmodeus tried to attack Diablo but None hit Him

She then tried her Lust once more but also failed

"Should we end this" Diablo said

And a lot of Holy magic Circle surrounds Asmodeus

"Holy magic? How can a Demon" Asmodeus Dint get to Finish her words but Got hit By the Disintegration

After the Light Fade Asmodeus was still standing there

"As expected of one of the Sinful Kings to be able to withstand a direct hit From my attack," Diablo said

"Chee I'll come back for you," Asmodeus Said as she fades from Nothingness

"Kufufufu coward as always, very well I'll be looking forward to our next encounter," Diablo said in the empty Feild and he walks back to where the others are.
