ch 25 < Holy Knights meeting>

A/N - 4th girl is adult version of Misha.

The agenda focused on discussing the resurrection of the Storm Dragon and the birth of a new Demon Lord.

As the head of both the Crusaders and the Lubelius office, elite rook Hinata had been accused of letting the slime escape and causing the birth of the Storm Dragon.

The tension in the room was palpable.

One of the Holy Knights, Saare, leaned forward, his eyes narrowing.

"Hinata, how could you allow such a critical oversight? The escape of that slime and the subsequent resurrection of the Storm Dragon are grave matters.

"Hinata remained composed, her voice steady. "I understand your concerns, saare.

However, the situation was far more complex than it appears.

The slime, Rimuru, is not the problem. The problem is his brother Karna. He was already an awakened Demon Lord when I fought him.

He has unparalleled abilities, and now even Rimuru has ascended to become a Demon Lord."

The hall became quiet after hearing her words.

Glenda, another Holy Knight, interjected.

"And what of Falmuth's impending civil war? How do we navigate this chaos?"

Hinata sighed, her gaze shifting to the floor for a moment before meeting their eyes again.

"Falmuth's civil war is a direct result of the power vacuum created by recent events. We must be strategic in our approach.

Furthermore, Luminous God has revealed that Rimuru controls the Storm Dragon and should not be interfered with."

Hinata met with Reyheim, who explained how Rimuru single-handedly wiped out the enemy.

"So, he did take his revenge, and now he is a Demon Lord, more powerful than ever," she murmured, her mind racing with the implications.

She then saw the manipulated message orb, which was simply Rimuru inviting her for a duel.

Combined with the presence of the seven Luminary Saints pointing out the message and encouraging her to fight Tempest.

While gifting her a sword named Dragobuster, Hinata was pretty sure that they wanted to eliminate her.

At Tempest

For several days, the Jura Forest remained peaceful.

The construction of the Labyrinth was almost finished.

Zegion, along with Apito and Kumara, was already placed under Veldora's care.

Now they are his disciples, and he urges them to call him "Master" instead of "Veldora-sama."

"Even I am extremely busy learning about my new profound powers.

Destruction Collapse from my Ultimate Skill, Shiva, is extremely dangerous.

With all of Creation and Analysis, I was able to gain some access to it.

It provides me with the powers of destruction but at a chaotic level.

Controlling it was far more difficult. My magical circuits went haywire whenever I conjured even a small amount of it, and I suffered some serious damage from it.

It took me two days with Infinite Regeneration and pure spiritrons to heal my wounds.

I used parallel calculations and the power of logic to study Destruction Collapse.

(It might take months to gain insights into it.)

The second thing I learned about was Stardust. My honest opinion is that it's a miracle substance.

It embodies all attributes, almost like the base of everything.

My god, can you guess any attributes? The only downside is that it requires great computation powers.

Only myself and maybe Ciel are capable of doing it.

Because of the star factor I got from the soul bond, controlling Stardust was easier than Destruction Collapse.

Comparing Stardust with spiritrons, it's far superior. It's almost like Stardust is an evolved version of spiritrons.

Similarities found are more than 50% according to my calculations.

I learned many arts using Stardust:

Starbuster - releases a small amount of Stardust in a beam-like scattershot.

Starshield - a very strong defense that makes Uriel's Ultimate Defense incomparable.

Stellar Blade - coats a blade with Stardust. When I did this, my sword's weight increased tremendously, almost like I'm holding a star. It even started to distort space-time.

This attack can easily pierce a multi-dimensional barrier.

Therefore, I didn't practice its swing much as I am not sure how much damage it can deal.

Maybe I'll test it against Veldora in Ramiris's dungeon.

As for Drago Nova, forget it. Too destructive. But with my analysis done on Milim during our spars, I know I can easily perform it.

"We had ramen and tempura, hamburgers, and pizza businesses flourishing around the inns of Blumand, Dwargon, and Tempest.

< The construction for road to Sorcerous Dynasty of Sarion is in construction >

The bustling food scene attracted travelers and adventurers alike, creating a vibrant atmosphere in these towns.

Karna's soft drink business has been a huge hit and has become the fourth-highest income industry for Tempest.

Later, our innovative slime, Rimuru, introduced a variety of cocktails and mocktails, enhancing the business even further.

< most of mocktail varieties come from karna >

The unique flavors and creative presentations quickly became popular, drawing even more visitors.

Since Ramiris was already a member of Tempest and some floors were already constructed for training, Rimuru proposed an idea to create a dungeon for adventurers.

This dungeon would significantly boost tourism and adventure activities in Tempest, offering challenges and rewards that would attract adventurers from far and wide.

The project promised to be a game-changer for our nation, potentially transforming it into a premier destination for thrill-seekers.

One evening, while discussing these plans, I also reminded Diablo that certain interested parties within the church might attempt to kill Rayheim to frame us.

Therefore, if such an incident were to occur, we must act prudently in front of the public.

"If we are accused," karna advised, "capture any suspects for interrogation rather than dismissing them with a submissive attitude, and inform me immediately."

Diablo nodded thoughtfully.

"Karna sama your foresight is invaluable," Diablo said, his eyes gleaming with respect.

"We will handle it with the utmost care." He praised me endlessly for my sharp mind, making me blush.

"I felt embarrassed since I was already aware of the plot," Karna thought.

The next thing was we received a report from Souka and Souei.

"What's the situation?" Rimuru asked.

Souka: "It's been confirmed that four other Crusaders aside from Hinata are coming into Tempest as we speak."

(Here goes my peace time)

< >

Hinata went for negotiating at Tempest. Hinata met with her five loyal knights on her journey.

Even though she insisted otherwise, they insisted on accompanying her.

The Seven Luminaries manipulated Leonard and Garde into believing that Hinata was colluding with Demon Lord Rimuru.

They also spread the false news that the Storm Dragon's revival was a hoax.

Before Hinata could initiate peace negotiations with Tempest, Leonard and Garde hastily led an attack on Tempest with the Holy Knights.

But they didn't know about Karna's plot knowledge and Rimuru's calculation abilities.

Tempest was already prepared for their battle.
