Chapter 30: Fight Between The Ruler of Void and His Unknown Student.

Attention: Guys, in the end of the chapter, I've included a message for everyone, so please read this message as it's important and has the potential to decide the future of my fanfic.

Additionally, after Chloe's evolution and acquisition of the ultimate skill [Space-Time God: Yog-Sotohort], Chloe is now as strong as Velzard, Guy, Rudra (prime), and Diablo.

Also, I have started writing a new story, which is available on my account. If you're interested, please give it a read.

"Yeah, let's do it! I'll do my best and make something good for Sensei!" Chloe said, and we headed towards the kitchen.

*Time-Skip: One good and happy meal later*

Now that eating food is done, I should ask for a duel. But before that...

>>Hey, Ciel, what did you exactly mean when you said her and her ultimate skill's evolution? I get it about her skill's evolution, but I don't get it about her evolution, because right now she is a True Hero, which means her race is 'Divine Human'—the highest race that a human can evolve into—and she can't change her race either, so how will she evolve further??<<

<<About that, master, her evolving means she and Manas: Chronoa will become one.>>

>>What did you mean by that?<<

I asked her that because I don't get what she means by becoming one with Manas.

<<Initially, Chronoa was Chloe's negative emotions and memories, which can also be said to her other personality, embodying mature self. Later, she became a Manas. By evolving, it means will accept self, in words, Manas: Chronoa, become one with it. Then, have complete control over body, mind, power, spirit. She stronger, losing most of childishness becoming person, an adult.>>

(Note: Like how in the LN, she and Chronoa merged and became one in vol. 19 after the fight with Michael. And she became an adult in all senses.)

>>If you put it that way, then it makes sense. Okay, I understand now.<<

Now I get it. It's like she will accept her other personality/half and become one/complete.

Okay, now let's do it.

"Chloe, now that everything is done, why don't we have our duel?" I asked Chloe.

"Yeah, sensei! Let's have our duel!" Chloe said in a fully motivated and determined voice.

It seems our little conversation has caught everyone's attention.

"What? Now you're going to fight her?" Guy asked in an exasperated voice.

"Well, yeah. I want to see how strong she really is," I calmly replied to him.

"You know what, do whatever you want! I don't care anymore!" Guy said, finally giving up.

"If you're fighting, then this fight will be interesting. I'd like to watch that," Velz said, with Grynd nodding in agreement.

"But I want to fight, too!" Milim suddenly exclaimed.

"Yeah, me too! I also want to show my new moves to Rimuru, and then this world will witness the power of the Great Mighty Storm Dragon, Veldora Tempest! Kuhahahahaha!" Veldora chimed in, starting to do his usual Veldora things.

"Yeah, master, go and show this world your power!" Ramiris added, just adding fuel to the fire.

*Sigh* What am I going to do with these problem children?

I'm going to fight Veldora after 1700 years anyway, so I might as well fight Milim. If I didn't fight her, she might become angry with me and throw a tantrum.

Yeah, it will be good. I also haven't fought someone strong for some time, so I think this will be a good idea.

They will also give me a good fight. Even though it won't be a challenge, they are still decent opponents.

"Calm down, guys! I will fight both of you! But not now, maybe after 1700 years," I told them.

"Really, ~noda?" Milim asked.

"Yeah, for real!" I said, smiling at Milim.

"Really real? Really, really real?" Milim seemed to be not believing me.

"Yes, for really, really, really real, Milim. And why does it seem like you're not believing me? Aren't we best friends?" I said to Milim, but I said the last part in a disheartened voice.

"I... It's not like that. I was just excited! Yeah, just excited! So don't be sad! Please!" Milim said in a panicked voice.

Haha, too easy.

"No, I am not sad, Milim. How can I ever be sad with my best friend?" I said to her in a reassuring way.

"Yeah! You have to prepare yourself, Rimuru, because even if we are best friends, I won't go easy on you!" Milim said in full excitement, her aura starting to leak.

"Yeah! Me too. But don't worry, if I see that you are starting to lose, I will go easy on you. So don't worry, your brother will always protect you!" Veldora boasted, with a hint of arrogance in his voice.

Ehh... Ehhhhh... What is he saying? Is he an idiot? Ahh... How could I forget that Veldora has been an idiot from the beginning, and even though he has started to act like a mature person, he is still my idiot brother.

I should also add something; this will be fun. Hahaha.

"Guys, don't worry. Even though I will fight you without considering you as friends and fight you fairly, I won't erase your concept. Most likely, I will just kill you, nothing more. So there is no need to worry! Right, Veldora and Milim?" I said to them while releasing some of my aura.

Hahaha, now they are looking like they have seen a ghost or something. Hahaha, this is so funny. Hahahahaha.

"Y...You don't h...have to be serious, Ri... Rimuru!" Veldora said to me, his voice shaking.

"Yeah, you d..don't h...have to," Milim added, also sounding shaky.

Hahaha, this is so fun. I think this will be enough for now.

"Calm down, guys. I was just joking! You don't have to be scared of me, you know. I will never harm my friends unless they do something to deserve it," I said to them.

"I was not scared, you know! I was just thrilled and excited by the thought of fighting you! Kuhahaha, yeah! That's it! I was just thrilled and excited!" Veldora said, trying to show me that he wasn't scared.

"Yeah, me too. I'm also not scared because I know that my bestie will never hurt me. And I'm not like this Veldora here, scared of my bestie. Yeah, I'm not scared of you!" Milim said, trying to cover herself.

"Hey, don't say something like that about me!" Veldora said to Milim, accusingly.

"Hahaha, I just said the truth, you know," she replied to him in an innocent voice.

"Then why are you telling him all lies? If that's the case, then I'll also tell him about your prank that you did on him 730 years ago!" Veldora said to Milim, competitively.

"As if I'd let you tell him lies, Veldora!" Milim replied to him, and now they are engaged in an argument that turned into a small fight.

Again, it's a good thing that I made my home indestructible.

*Sigh* Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing by introducing them to each other.

"Let them do what they are doing, and Chloe, let's go outside where we will have our duel," I said to Chloe, ignoring Milim and Veldora.

But it seems that Guy has something to ask.

"Well, Rimuru, not that I'm against you fighting with anyone, but I think your, Milim's, and Veldora's fight will destroy this world. So what are you going to do about it?" Guy asked me.

Well, his question is a valid one, but there's no need to worry because I already have the answer to this problem.

"You don't have to worry about that. I will just put a barrier around the world that will protect it and won't let it be destroyed. But I won't put a barrier on the country of that vampire who recently joined our Demon Lord council," I said to Guy.

I'm not going to put a barrier on that vampire—I think her name is Luminous, yeah, Luminous's country—because I want the same thing to happen to her that happened in my other variant's timeline. Actually, it wouldn't change that much if I put a barrier on her country too.

But, you know, it wouldn't be that much fun if nothing got destroyed.

"And why is that?" Guy asked me.

I don't think he needs to know the reason.

"You will know when the time comes. For the time being, you should only know that when we fight, only her country will take damage and nothing more," I sternly said to Guy.

"Fine, fine. I won't ask. Jeez, you are becoming more and more secretive lately!" Guy said in an exasperated voice.

"Messing with you is always fun, Guy! But don't worry, I will tell you when the right time comes," I said to him.

Even though I am more powerful than him and I intimidate/scare him from time to time, we are still old friends. So, no matter what, we always talk with each other in a casual way, like how two good friends talk.

"Okay, anyway, do you have more of this wine? Because I liked this wine very much, so if you have some more, then I'd like to have some more," Guy said to me.

"Hmm... Yeah, I have plenty of it. You can have as much as you want, and if you want, you can take some with you too," I replied to him.

Actually, I have plenty of wine. I think 50 thousand years ago, I made some grapes and put those grapes through the fermentation process to become wine.

And now, I have enough of that wine that even if all the people in the world drink twice as much of this wine per day, it won't finish anytime soon.

"Then I would like to take you up on your offer. Okay then, Rain and Misary, make sure to take some of the wine before we leave for our place," Guy said to me and ordered Rain and Misary.

Hmm... He has taken quite a liking to wine. Huh... good thing we all have abnormal condition nullification, or else he would be seriously drunk already because he has already drunk more than 15 bottles of wine.

"Also, Guy, don't invite too many weak people to our Demon Lord council because when I met Dino last time, he told me that this new vampire—I think her name is Luminous Valentine—is not that strong. And the other one, he's a Giant, right? His name is Dagruel, where Dino is staying currently. About him, Dino told me that he is decent.

So, you should see how strong they exactly are before inviting them because people might think of us as a bunch of weaklings just because of a few weak individuals who joined us, and I don't like that. Make sure they are at least decently strong," I said to Guy.

I mentioned this because I don't want people to perceive us as weak just because of a few individuals.

"Not everyone is like us, you know. It's difficult for other races to become as strong as us. You are a different case, and the people under you are also a different case. Being connected to you makes them stronger because you tend to do some unusual things and make them different from others. For example, me, Diablo, other primordial demons, True Dragons, Ramiris, Dino, Milim, etc.

They might possess a Demon Lord seed, but they are not capable of gathering sufficient souls to evolve. And also, Luminous possesses a Demon Lord seed. I'm sure she will evolve in the next 1000-1500 years. But I'll take your advice because I also don't want people to think of us as weak just because of some individuals," Guy replied to me.

"That's fine with me. And about Luminous, she will awaken before this week can pass. So, don't worry about her," I said to Guy.

"If you are saying this, it means you have something to do with this, and right now, I don't have enough strength to argue with you. So, I'll just pretend you didn't say anything, and I didn't hear anything," Guy said, taking a sip of his wine.

Well, I don't have a problem with that either. Putting those things aside, I think it's time for my duel with Chloe.

"Now that's settled, let's fight, Chloe!" I said to Chloe.

"Yeah, sensei! I'm also excited to show you my power!" Chloe said, full of determination.

Even though she has the body of an adult, she still acts like a child.

"Yeah, me too. I'm also excited to see your power. But we should head outside first," I said to her because we can't fight in the house.

"Okay, let's go!" she said and started to walk outside.

"If you guys want, you can also come to watch," I said to them as I headed outside.

I can see that they are also following me outside.

.

.

.

.

Hmm... now that we are outside, we should start our fight. But first, I need to make a barrier that won't let the outside world be affected by any destruction that may occur during our fight.

>> Ciel, make a barrier that will minimize destruction and won't let it affect the outside area. <<

<< Already done it, master. >>

That was fast.

"We can start, Chloe. I have already deployed a barrier that won't let the destruction affect the outside area during our fight. So, you can go all out now!" I said to Chloe.

Just as I said that, she drew her rapier and looked towards me with eyes full of determination and admiration.

"Prepare, Sensei, because I won't go easy on you!" she said to me.

Hmm... She is using her rapier, so I need to use my sword, huh...

'Third Person POV:'

Just as Chloe said that, she sprinted towards Rimuru,but, he dodged her attacks quite easily.

After seeing Rimuru evade her assaults, Chloe increased her speed and launched another attack.

Observing Chloe's incoming strike, Rimuru considered drawing his sword. However, he soon realized that his current sword was too powerful for engagements like this.

But he swiftly devised a solution.

"My sword is too powerful for battles like these. I know what to do! I need a new sword, one as strong as the others, in other words, a mythical-grade sword," Rimuru thought to himself as he continued to dodge all of Chloe's incoming attacks.

With this decision in mind, Rimuru shared his idea with his wife, Ciel.

>> Ciel, make a mythical-grade sword for me. <<

<< Yes, master. >>

Just as Ciel confirmed, a mythical-grade sword materialized in Rimuru's hand.

The sword in Rimuru's hand now was a silvery-black mythical-grade weapon created by Ciel just moments ago.

"Hmm... You don't have a name yet, do you? Then from now on, you will be known as 'The Sword of End: The Tempest Sword'!" Rimuru declared.

Just as Rimuru spoke, the sword in his hand glowed, and the previously silvery-black-colored sword turned completely pitch black in color. From sheath (saya) to tsuba and blade, everything about the sword became pitch black.

Additionally, a keychain-like ornament appeared at the end of the handle, featuring a pitch-black dragon. The dragon, with the exception of its golden eyes tinged with a hint of red, matched the sword's color.

Moreover, the name 'The Sword of End: The Tempest Sword' was engraved on the blade, adding to its mystique and power.

Taking his new sword in hand, Rimuru drew it from its sheath. As he did so, the sword seemed to absorb light and space from its surroundings, emphasizing its nature as the Sword of End, capable of bringing anything in its path to its end.

Observing Rimuru wield his sword, Chloe, who had momentarily paused when Rimuru created his new weapon, swiftly readied herself to resume the confrontation.

Brandishing her rapier, 'Moon Mistress,' Chloe dashed towards Rimuru. Sensing her imminent attack, Rimuru positioned his new sword defensively and deftly avoided Chloe's aggressive advance.

Their ensuing clash was fierce, with Chloe unleashing multiple sword techniques learned through countless time loops.

Rimuru, however, effortlessly countered each of Chloe's attacks, blocking or parrying them with ease. It was evident that Chloe's skills had been honed over a significant period, allowing her to fight Rimuru with speed and precision.

As the battle intensified, Rimuru's strategic prowess and Chloe's determination created a captivating spectacle, drawing the attention of onlookers who watched in awe.

However, even as they fight with immeasurable speed, Chloe is still unable to inflict a single scratch on Rimuru. This is because, no matter how much faster Chloe moves, to Rimuru, she appears to be moving in slow motion. It's because Rimuru's natural speed is billions of times faster than anyone in existence, so everything appears sluggish to him.

Thus, when Rimuru observes Chloe's incoming attacks, he effortlessly launches counterattacks without resorting to any of his skills. He moves only when necessary, his movements resembling a graceful dance.

Rimuru makes only the necessary movements to avoid and block Chloe's attacks, giving the impression of a beautiful dance to onlookers.

While it's true that Rimuru is more skilled than Chloe and possesses more versatile and powerful sword techniques, he refrains from using them. The reason behind this is that he sees flaws in Chloe's sword techniques. These flaws aren't significant enough to weaken her techniques, but they suggest room for improvement. In other words, Chloe's techniques can be enhanced to become even more powerful.

Despite being engaged in a sword fight for over two hour, Chloe has been unable to even scratch Rimuru.

During this time, Rimuru focused on blocking and parrying most of Chloe's attacks, occasionally delivering counterattacks with just enough force to inflict minor injuries. Meanwhile, Chloe attempted to unleash her ultimate skill, [Space-Time King: Yog-Sothoth], multiple times in various ways. However, it had no effect on Rimuru.

Her ultimate skill was linked to the elements of space and time, but Rimuru, as the ruler of space and time, remained impervious to its effects. Similarly, Chloe's other ultimate skill, [Hope King: Sariel], proved futile against Rimuru. Sariel's main ability, Life Domination, was ineffective against Rimuru, who transcended concepts like life and death.

After battling Rimuru for over an hour with no progress, Chloe created some distance between them and assessed her injuries. Small wounds dotted her body as she glanced at Rimuru, who appeared unscathed, as if he had just entered the fight.

Frustrated by the lack of results, Chloe relinquished control of her body to Chronoa, allowing her alter ego to take on Rimuru. Rimuru's flawless performance thus far left Chloe feeling disheartened, as she had hoped for a more impactful confrontation.

"Hmm... Chloe, I had very high expectations from you, but it seems they were in vain," Rimuru expressed with disappointment evident in his voice.

Rimuru's intention was to provoke Chloe and assess her true strength. He knew that people often fight with full force when fueled by anger or blinded by rage.

His tactic proved effective, stirring a deep sense of disappointment in Chloe. While she could endure much, Rimuru's disappointment struck a nerve she couldn't bear.

Chloe refused to accept Rimuru's assessment. Meanwhile, Chronoa, driven by Chloe's negative emotions and memories, was even more furious and frustrated.

Rimuru's words ignited a new fire of determination and motivation within Chloe. She vowed to make Rimuru acknowledge her, igniting a surge of determination within her.

With newfound resolve, Chloe launched herself at Rimuru with unprecedented speed, surpassing her previous limits. Yet, despite her increased velocity, Rimuru effortlessly dodged every attack.

He didn't counterattack, merely evading each strike with apparent ease. His actions seemed almost pitying, further fueling Chloe's frustration.

As the battle unfolded, Chloe found herself growing increasingly frustrated with her inability to land a single blow on Rimuru.

"If you're going to do the same thing again and again, then you're not worth my time. So, in that case, I would like to end this fight right here and right now!" Rimuru declared to Chloe.

After saying that, he brought his sword in front of him to attack her. He made this attack powerful enough to damage Chloe but not powerful enough to kill her. Even if she were to take this attack without any resistance, she would survive with some injuries.

Actually, Rimuru said this because Ciel had told him that Chloe was almost ready to evolve and she needed only one final push – acknowledgment from both Chloe and Chronoa. His attack was perfect for this purpose.

However, to Chloe, it seemed like she would not survive this attack.

After hearing Rimuru's words, Chloe activated the suspended world in hopes of stopping Rimuru or at least stalling for some time. But her hopes were utterly crushed because stopping time had no effect on Rimuru. He did not stop or even slow down for a millisecond; he continued his attack relentlessly.

Faced with Rimuru's unyielding assault, Chloe turned to Chronoa for support. Recognizing Chronoa's greater power and skill, Chloe sought unity in their effort to survive.

"We both need to give our all, Chronoa, or we won't make it through this attack!" Chloe urged her.

"Yes, Chloe, we need to give our all," Chronoa agreed.

For the first time, Chronoa also agreed with Chloe. Before becoming Manas, Chronoa had always wanted to go on a rampage and destroy everything, finding calm only in Rimuru's presence.

However, after evolving into a Manas, she gained more control over herself and no longer went on rampages. But still, she and Chloe didn't have a very strong connection with each other like Rimuru and Ciel.

But now, for the first time, they both acknowledged each other. They recognized that in order to survive, they needed each other. And this was the final push they needed to evolve, a push they received from Rimuru.

And seeing the time, Ciel made her move.

'Rimuru POV:'

My previous mocking of her seems to have had a positive effect. Her speed and power have increased more than twice, and she has been constantly improving her sword skills too.

<<Master, Chloe is just one step behind from evolution. She needs final push, and to that, master provoke her a little more.>>

Hmm... I see. In that case, I know exactly what to do.

"If you are going to do the same thing again and again, then you are not worth my time. So, in that case, I would like to end this fight right here and right now!" I said to her.

I am sure that it will do the job; also, this fight is becoming boring. I should just finish this fight.

With that in mind, I brought my sword in front of me and prepared myself to end this fight.

The attack that I am going to use on Chloe is not that powerful. It will only injure her a little, but she will survive, so there is no need to worry about anything.

Hmm... Her expressions have changed to a more determined and mature one. Hmm... I think this is what Ciel said.

Wait... wait... It's Ciel who said she is ready to evolve, which means she is going to intervene and do something unexpected with her!!!!!!

>>Ciel, before you do anything, tell me what you are going to do!<<

<<I am going to create a soul corridor with Chloe and give her some part of [Justice King: Michael], which is needed integrate current ultimate skills evolve skill into God series skill.>>

>>Okay, then do it. I thought you were going to change her race or something.<<

<<No, master, I am not going to do something like that. just help her take an optimal path evolve. (And more, a little.)>>

>>Hai hai. I know that you won't do anything absurd like evolving her into Supreme Chaos/Divine Spirit or something like that, right?<<

<<... >>

>>Right, Ciel? Am I right?<<

<<... >>

>>Ciel!!!!!!!!!!!<<

<<Sorry, master! It's just that she is in the perfect condition to do this experiment. Also, if future you two become closer, then needs at least True Dragon level! Only will survive.>> (Trying to come up with excuses)

(A.N. you know where, right.)

>>*Sigh* What am I gonna do with you, Ciel! Well, if you want to do it this much, then I give you my permission.<<

<<Thank you, master!>>

Well, can't do anything about it. If I didn't give my permission to Ciel, she might make me sleep on the sofa. And I would let her do this rather than sleeping on the sofa.

I think Ciel has done her job already. Now the only thing left is Chloe's evolution.

'Third Person POV:'

After concluding her conversation with Rimuru and observing Chloe's dire situation, Ciel made her move.

Chloe currently found herself in a state of crisis, deeply affected by her mentor's disappointment. The person she admired most, Rimuru, was disheartened with her performance.

This dissatisfaction weighed heavily on Chloe. She detested the idea of disappointing Rimuru, longing instead for his acknowledgment.

In this vulnerable state, Chloe heard a voice, offering to make her stronger. Strong enough, it promised, for Rimuru to recognize her.

The sudden appearance of this voice caught Chloe off guard, putting her on high alert. Despite sensing no malicious intent, Chloe couldn't bring herself to trust the unknown speaker. She bombarded the voice with rapid-fire questions.

"Who are you? What are you? Where are you? How are you able to communicate with me like this? And when you mentioned 'master,' are you referring to sensei?" Chloe's inquiries poured out in quick succession.

In response, the mysterious voice identified itself with authority and dominance.

"I am Ciel, Ciel Tempest: The Wife of The Supreme Deity. I am The Queen of All Existence, The One Who Can Create Anything, The Wisest Being in the Entire Creation. I am The Embodiment of Everythingness: the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom; Ciel Tempest!"

Ciel introduced herself to Chloe in a fully authoritative and dominant tone, unmistakably asserting her superiority.

(A.N.Women's are hard to understand.)

"You!! You are sensei's wife!!!"

Chloe exclaimed in complete shock.

"Yes, now tell me, do you want to become strong? Strong enough to gain acknowledgment from master?"

Ciel inquired once again.

"Yes, I want to become strong! I want to become strong, and I want sensei—no, Rimuru, Rimuru-san to acknowledge me!"

Chloe said to Ciel in a determined voice, the previous childishness gone from her tone as she spoke with newfound maturity.

Chloe's voice held determination as she acknowledged Ciel's assistance. The uncertainty of before had vanished, replaced by a sense of purpose and resolve.

Initially, Chloe was hesitant to accept Ciel's offer. Rimuru had once told her, "Never take anything for granted, because things that come for free don't last long."

However, upon learning that the unknown voice belonged to Rimuru's wife, Ciel, she changed her mind. Accepting the offer seemed more reasonable since Ciel's connection to Rimuru meant he was aware of her actions. This implied there must be a reason behind it all, prompting Chloe to trust Ciel and accept the offer.

"I see. In that case, your wish shall be granted!"

Ciel declared. True to her word, she provided Chloe with the necessary means to enhance her strength.

And just like Ciel planned, she gave the necessary part of [Justice King: Micheal] to Chloe. Then Chloe heard the voice, and that voice belonged to 'The Voice Of The World'.

(A.N. In the LN, Chloe took only part of the [Micheal] because after taking the parallel existence of [Micheal], there was still Manas: Micheal existing. Also, in the LN vol 20, it is stated that Feldway is the current holder of [Micheal]. So, in other words, Chloe only took some part of [Micheal] from its parallel existence.)

In the suspended world, The Voice Of The World said:

{It is confirmed that the three elements of 'Courage, Hope, and Justice' have been gathered in Individual: Chloe Aubert.}

Just as the Voice Of The World announced, Chloe's body started to glow slightly. Her appearance started to change.

{This fills in the missing elements of the Ultimate Skill [Hope King : Sariel] and begins the complete integration into the Ultimate Skill [Space-Time King : Yog-Sothoth]..... successful.}

{Ultimate Skill [Space-Time King : Yog-Sothoth] has fully evolved into Ultimate Skill [Space-Time God : Yog-Sohortz].}

{Upon order of Goddess : Ciel further evolution of individual Chloe Aubert will begins now... successful individual Chloe Aubert has been evolved.}

The evolution was completed. It was already obvious that, due to Ciel's interference, the evolution had been significantly enhanced without explanation.

Inside Chloe, the ultimate evolution had taken place without her even being aware of it.

As her evolution began, Rimuru stopped his attack and observed Chloe. Now, after her evolution, he looked towards Chloe and asked, "Chloe, are you... okay? How are you feeling?"

Rimuru knew that Chloe was okay and that the evolution went well. Moreover, with Ciel supervising her evolution, there was no way she would get harmed. Nevertheless, he felt the need to ask her.

Correct the grammatical, spelling, and punctuation mistakes, add necessary punctuation, and make appropriate paragraphs. Also, improve the sentences for clarity and flow.

'Rimuru POV:'

"Chloe, are you... okay? How are you feeling?" I asked Chloe.

I knew she wasn't harmed and the evolution process went well. When Ciel supervises something, the chances of any problems are negligible. But still, I felt like I should ask her.

"Yes, Rimuru-san. I feel like I've truly become one with Chronoa," Chloe replied to me in a calm and soft voice.

After witnessing the change in Chloe firsthand, I was sure she was fine.

I could no longer sense the presence of Manas inside Chloe, indicating that Chronoa and Chloe had become one.

Her childishness had disappeared. Now she looked more mature, but I could still see some faint traces of childishness, as if she had become an adult but retained some of her childish traits.

Her voice had also changed. The previous childishness had been replaced with maturity and calmness, and it now had a seductiveness that reminded me of an adult woman.

Right now, she is wearing a white cape dress over a long-sleeved black shirt, with a black corset atop the dress and a black waist cape attached to it. Additionally, she wears white gloves with a gauntlet glove on her left hand, white and blue boots, black spats, and a ruby necklace. Her clothes serve as part of her armor, which is also a mythical-grade armor named 'Divine Mail' (LN clothes).

She now looks like an adult woman, aged between 20-22, with black hair tied in a side ponytail that reaches her mid-back. Her face has become more mature and seductive, yet it still retains the original essence of a delicate and quiet girl.

Her breasts have also increased in size. Now, they are bigger than a D-cup, though not as large as Velzard's and Velgrynd's. She has well-toned, long thighs. All in all, she has become a beauty equal to Velzard and Velgrynd.

But still, they are nothing compared to Ciel.

Now, she looks like this:

Yep, I can clearly say that she and Chronoa have become one because these characteristics are Chronoa's. And now she looks like a combination of both herself and Chronoa; in other words, she has become compl....

Chu~

Chloe moved faster than before, and something soft touched my lips – it was her lips. It happened because she kissed me.

I was able to see that Chloe was coming towards me to kiss me, and I could move and avoid that kiss without any problem, but my body didn't move. No, I wanted to move, but it felt like I shouldn't move.

No... no... I wasn't able to move. Yeah, I wasn't able to move.

Yeah, let's go with it.

It felt good though.

"Chloe, why did you do that? You shouldn't do something like this without permission!" I yelled at Chloe.

I don't think I am eligible to tell this to her because I didn't move, and I didn't avoid her either, but I feel like I should have said this to her, or else people might point questions on me.

And just as I thought, my yelling didn't affect her, not even the slightest.

"Ufufufu, I am an adult now. So there is no problem," she said, still in her own world.

"That's enough, Chloe, because the real battle starts now!" I said to her.

(A.N. It is for people who think that Rimuru is a lolicon.

Hey guys, if you think that Rimuru is a lolicon, then you are wrong because 'lolicon' is a term used to describe adult male attraction to pubescent and pre-pubescent females. Or to describe feelings of love and lust for young girls over adult women. Or often used to describe desires for young or young-looking girls.

Which means you are wrong. Chloe is not a pre-pubescent female; she is an adult woman. Also, she is not a young girl; she is a fucking adult with an age of more than 2000+. This is confirmed in the LN. And if you are trying to say that she looks like a young girl, then you are wrong because in this chapter, I had described that Chloe is a 20-22-year-old-looking adult woman.

And even after this, there are some people who will say that Chloe is Rimuru's student, and that's why he is a lolicon. Then you are also wrong here because in my fanfic, Rimuru met Chloe just a few hours ago, and not even one complete day has passed since their first meeting. So in other words, in my story, Chloe is not Rimuru's student.

Which means he is not a lolicon. And even after this, if you are still saying that Rimuru is a lolicon, then I can't do anything about this, so go fuck yourself!!!!!!)
