Who is more dangerous?

*Rimuru pov*

Ah~~~ this place is the best~~~ to think that someone like me would be held by so many elves...I'll probably melt...

"After the way you resisted coming here, you sure seem to be enjoying yourself" kaijin said from the doorway. "N-no, I wouldn't say that" as soon as I said that all four of them Gave wide grins, and the mute guy even gave a thumbs up, damn I forgot his name, hard to remember when he DOESN'T FUCKING SPEAK OR SAY HIS OWN NAME OUT LOUD. Looking at the grinning faces I just turned around to save what little dignity and pride I had left.

An elf with earrings called out that we should drink to which we all said yes. During this time I was in heaven...

The conversation was sporadic at best with all of us making small talk here and there to pass time, soon enough the conversation went to how I had cloned the magical long swords...

"Man, that sure gave me quite a shock" he said while laughing, "I busted my ass to make that sword and you just made all those copies in a second."

"That's only because the original was so amazing, all I did was analyze it and make copies using the magisteel cluster" I said, Kaijin didn't seem to happy about it though...

"Was I out of line?" I asked, both the brothers and elves were holding their breaths "It was a bit vexing to say the least" he said with a grim look before smiling and raising his mug "But next time I'll make a sword so amazing even you won't be able to make a copy. I relish the challenge!!" he drank all the fruit whine in one go, damn old man slow down.

"That's the spirit!" I raise my mug as well "Refill please"

The elf girl that had started the drinking came up to me with a bottle, "Can you even taste slime san?" she said with a small smile.

"I can't but any drink is delicious if a beautiful lady like you pours it for me."

"my my, very smooth," (Yeah seriously can we just appreciate how smooth the line and the delivery of this line was in the anime?) she kneeled down to pour the drink in my cup "Here you go."

Ah This feels really good, I wonder if I would have been able to get this experience in my world...

The small talks continued, oh, gobta is still in the jail cell right? I guess its fine if I go home without him, one less belly to feed...

"Slime san?"

No one here can read minds right?

I turned towards the dark skinned elf, "would you like to try this?" she said making weird hand movements, "people say that I am pretty good at it"

"What do you mean?" I asked, there's no way she is talking about what I think she is talking about right?

"Fortunetelling." Ah as expected, it wasn't what I was expecting. She took out a small crystal ball out of....somewhere...where the hell did she put that thing???

"Are you ready Slime san?" she asked while putting the crystal on her laps,

"What kind of reading can you do?" I ask with mild interest.

"Well...what would you like?" she asked back...

I was wondering about it when the elf girl whose lap I had been sitting on suggested something "how about the person he's destined to be with?"

"Huh?" everybody paused their conversation's to look at the three of us, "ah good idea!"the dark skinned elf girl called out.

After making a small joke about trying to read the fortune on me which led to everyone laughing, she tried it again for real this time, slowly an image started to form...

A pretty girl with ebony black hair, three red scars under her left eye , she was huggin a small black haired girl behind whom were four other kids that looked pretty sad for some reason, the image closed up on the girl again, Eh? Doesn't she look Japanese?

"that was one pretty girl." Kaijin said. "Look, you are turning red"

I looked away with a blush "I don't change colors!"

The dark haired girl spoke up "Oh you're curious about this person?"

The elf whose lap I was on decided to tease me "no fair, Cheating on us."

"sure I am curious, but..." Destined huh...but...destined could have a lot of meanings, maybe I could ask for another reading?

"Elf san... Could you do another reading?" I asked her...

"of course what would you like to see this time?"

"could you see... The one I will be with till I die?" I ask, the others started looking at us again. Probably wondering why I wanted to know the same thing twice. But the dark haired elf seemed to know the difference though, "ah yes" she spoke causing everyone's eyes to be fixed on her, "Destined could have many meanings, from your lover you are destined to be with or an enemy for your entire life, or maybe even a memento, but to be with someone till you die could only mean either a lover or an extremely close friend..."

I nodded, soon enough she had already started whatever it is she was doing... once again a hazy image started forming.

*the image*

Regulus is sitting on a crate with one leg on top of it, he looks like he is in a pretty bad mood, Reinhard come up to him with a frown on his face and kneels down, his clothes are dirty in someplaces and there seem to be shallow cuts on his stomach, he say something to regulus, His face contorts to one of absolute fury a he rises up from the crate that immediately get crushed by some unseen pressure, as the two start walking away the image closes up more on Regulus' face and he looked absolutely pissed off with his hair shadowing his eyes.

*End*

Everyone looked a bit shocked...ah they expected a girl...well I better get explaining.

"Should you really be wasting your time in a place like this? Kaijin?" a voice that was really annoying saved me from an embarrassing explanation, but god damn was that voice annoying.

"Let him do what he wants vesta" another voice this time rough and grizzly like sounded "Its what is expected of peasants"

It was a large man with blonde hair and short blonde beard wearing a sort of royal attire, sitting on the counter drinking. Kaijin looked at him in disgust.

"Ye-Yes Duke Barbaros" Vesta, damn even his face is annoying, said with a strained smile. He doesn't seem to like him either. He somehow immediately went back to his stuck up voice "Ahem! What I am actually concerned about is that" he said looking at me before back at the blonde almost asking for confirmation, it was only when he nodded with a grin that vesta continued, "You shouldn't bring such a lowly monster to a high-brow establishment like this." he took a handkerchief and put it on his mouth, "It's making me feel ill."

"Hey? Do you allow monsters in here?" He asked turning to the elf girl with ear rings. She gave a worried a smile, "it may be a monster but it is just a harmless monster" this obviously angered Vesta, "What? It is a monster right? Are you trying to say slimes aren't monsters?"

"No. Not at all..." she came out from under the counter before walking up to Vesta. "How about a drink minister, Here" she said handing vesta a mug of fruit wine.

He took the Wine before pouring it all over me, causing a few of the elves to shout out in surprise "Mr Slime!"

"Don't worry I am fine, is your dress okay?"

"ye-Yes"

I was really pissed off but he is a minister and the guy behind him seems to be powerful in the political game, I can't let my short temper ruin things for the bar and kaijin...

What would regulus do if he was here..?

Just as I thought that kaijin got up from his seat and punched Vesta right in the face,

"Vesta!!" he said cracking his knuckles "I hope you are ready to pay for what you did!?"

Vesta's voice cracked "You... Ho-How dare you speak to me lie that?!"

"Shut it!!" kaijin went in for another punch, but this time, it was caught by barbaros.

Barbaros's hand twinkled golden, Kaijin was gritting his teeth from some sort of pain, barbarous let go of his hand causing kaijin to clutch it with his other hand, He looked back at vesta "You are truly pathetic..." vesta had a terrified expression, "If you are willing to insult you should be ready to be humiliated yourself, like wise if you receive a punch you should be able to give one back, not talk about social status!!!" he said to vesta in an angry manner, "I don't think much of peasants, but I like this about them, when they are in a fight they don't care about blood,"

He got in a fighting stance, but there was something weird, his body was surrounded by a golden glow.

"So, Lets fight!!!" he called out, kaijin looked at Barbaros with widened eyes before narrowing them and putting his arms up, one of which was bruised and bleeding.

Rimuru: Great sage, what's going on? What's that golden glow surrounding his body?

Great sage: The golden glow surrounding the individual Barbaros is the result of the extra skill, Stat armor, the user gathers the surrounding Magicules and condenses it around there body the gold color symbolises the all round stat and increases both defense and offense , to punch him in this armor is similar to punching a 5 inch thick wall of iron in an attempt to break it, which while possible, is extremely painful.

...isn't that basically cheating in a fight..?

As I was thinking about it kaijin made his first move for Barbaros' face, Barbaros moved to the side before punching Kaijin square in the face. Kaijin stumbled back as he tried to stand still with blood running down his nose. Barbaros gave a malicious smile.

"Apologies, I had forgotten you are just a blacksmith!" Barbaros said before kicking kaijin in the stomach, "I had forgotten you are a dishonored knight that was cast out of the castle" he said with a mad smile and punched him in the stomach "I had forgotten you are just a traitor that helped a vampire!!" he punched him in face causing kaijin to finally fall down.

Kaijin hit the floor with a thud. He decided to rise up again, as he rose up to his feet without stumbling I felt my respect for him grow considerably, he looked at Barbaros with a hate full gaze, Barbaros returned it back two fold, as Barbaros got ready to punch him again in an attempt to finish this though he was interrupted by a round house kich in the face that had enough force to make him step back considerably.

All of us gasped at the person who was responsible, It was a beautiful black haired girl with various gash wounds that were all bleeding, and a stab wound on her stomach, and now a fractured leg most probably, her face was bruised as well, a thin trickle of blood going down the sides of her mouth, she nearly collapsed before catching herself and limping towards the counter where she grabbed a bottle of wine, she uncorked the bottle and drank its contents, before taking out a purple colored blade,

"That blade?!" kaijin said in astonishment.

"Long time no see, kaijin-san..." she said as she looked at kaijin with a smile before it immediately turned to an insane one with wide eyes as she turned to Barbaros, "Finally..." she said as she jumped In and attempted to slash him through his guts, "Found you~" Barbaros jumped back from her causing her to hit a wall, the wall was cleanly sliced through the second the blade touched it, "Yo-You..!" he cried out as he got into a fighting stance "Bowel hunter!!" he shouted as he punched her in the face, her face had a small bruise which immediately healed,

"Still as rough as ever I see~" she said in a sing song voice, before bringing her blade down on his head, only for the blade to bounce off of the shield that covered him, "HAH! You think you are the only one that grew stronger?!" he shouted as the glow suddenly turned blue in place of gold, "Dream on Blood sucker!!" He punched her in the face with enough force to form a small impact crater on the wall she struck her head on...

"You really are the worst..." she said, unknown to me then, she was thinking about the red haired majin who had refused to kill her or use his full power on a girl. "maybe things would have turned different if I hadn't run away," she thought in her final moments as a simple vampire before passing out, just as she passed out however she did see the silhouette of the two people that would change her life, she chuckled "not helping me even though you are right there...how mean...Regulus-sama..." she said as she finally passed out due to her wounds.

It was a deadly silence for a moment. The atmosphere was broken by the sound of footsteps, For a second time all of us gasped, but it was due to the wounds neither was it because they were important people yet, rather it was because they had just been seen in a crystal ball, with the exact same expressions, except for Reinhard who had a look of concern this time,

"So this Is where you have been..." Regulus said with an absolutely pissed off look on his face.

he walked up to her before glancing at me he gave a small smile before waving his hand "Hey rimuru-chan, Sorry but since i am a little busy right now I'll have to go, so I guess I'll see you later." he said before turning to the woman and carrying him on his shoulders, Barbaros called out to him "Hey! what the hell do you think you are doing?! that girls is a murderer and a psycho!! If you attempt to save her you will be considered criminals by the hero king Gazel Dwargo!!"

Regulus stopped at the doorway "your voice annoys me..." he said. "HAH!? What the fuck did you say?!" Barbaros shouted as he walked towards him, reinhard stood between them, with an angry face. Uwah... he looks really scary when he is angry...i didn't even know he could get angry?!!

 "What is it?! you wanna get beat down too?!"

For some reason I knew that this would not end well at all for Barbaros, He attempted punch him in the face only for it too be caught without much effort by Reinhard, however it still created some wind. Barbaros looked shocked at that. why is he so shocked?

Great sage: Answer he was using blue armor that lowered his Defense in exchange for exponentialy increasing his speed and offense, to be hit by him in this state would be similar to getting hit by a canon ball coming at the speed of 6 km per hour.

....Reinhard caught a canon ball that easily?!! no. wait. his hand is red and there is some blood running down his wrist...

He pulled his free hand (right hand) back and clenched his fist into knuckles, as he aimed for his stomach. 

Barbaros panicked before his armor turned greyish silver, 

Rimuru: Great sage what does this one do?

Great sage: Answer, it lowers attack and speed in exchange for increasing his defence exponentially, punching him right now would be like punching a 10 inch thick wall of titanium.

Reinhard punched him in the guts causing a small gust of wind as I sat there thinking nothing had hapened...

*CRACK*

A distinct sound of cracking metal sounded through out the shop, Barbaros stumbled bck while clenching his stomach as he spit out some blood, he rose up only to stumble a again and nearly fall down. as he took his hands off his stomach we could see the cracked hole in his transparent armor and the cracks were slowly healing...

Reinhard stared at him as he rose his fist up, his fist was red and bruised up with blood running down his knuckles, he pulled his fist back again and punched Barbaros in the face. there was another cracking sound, the crack the crack now appeared on his face. 

Barbaros stumbled before falling on his back with a thud, unconscious...

 Regulus looked back at me, "See you later Rimuru chan~" he called out before walking out, Reinhard following him without so much as a grunt of pain even though his hand was probably cracked...

Rimuru: Great sage...

Great sage: yes?

Rimuru: Who is more dangerous? Reinhard or Regulus?

Great Sage: The answer is Regulus Corneas without a doubt.
