Tempest vs HolyKnights

I went out with Veldora who was protecting me all this time he was also adjusting to his newly acquired powers all this time with a proud face and laughing with each revelations he found.Speaking about him, he is currently arranged to rest inside Ramiris labyrinth at last level of a 10 level labyrinth to release pent up aura.she made a big level for him to fly around. I also shifted my research room in there. She is also happy accompanying me,veldora and treyni sisters.

Coming back to present,I had already put on racial factor mask during evolution to true dragon race itself, it is a copy of what made for Veldora before. We went out of the cave. Shizue, Benimaru and Shauna was there outside the cave along with some of the citizens who lent me power, and were worried since it's been a day since I left and some of them got skills upgrade.

I was going to conceal and describe it as a minor skill evolution procedure, and not make a big deal out of it, but the annoying dragon next to me casually made a remark "Oh that, we were training with swords and magic and doing an experiment,... and it made Rimuru now a true dragon like myself...Haha now he is my true brother."

With thought acceleration,luckily I was able to make a null barrier covering Veldora and myself, half way point at his speech with information particle manipulation with my new found power as a Manas so that sound would be deleted, not detected by either magic or universal sense to others outside the barrier.

I gave him an annoyed look. He was expecting an exclamation but sensing none he saw me glaring at him.

' Expressing his own sincere thoughts but shocking facts out there loud without any second thought,this Veldora..😮‍💨'

'Well I got a tingling in danger sense from his words. That's a fine ability sensing crisis from loose mouths? Very practical, food for thoughts later, now coming to present'

I said to him in thought communication:

<Hmph, you know Veldora, that fact should be kept between ourselves, my advancements are almost abnormal. I planned to only relay it Shizue at a later time.< p>

I don't want my subordinates and friends seeing me as some anomaly or deity so far from there reach ok? I am already having problem like these from diabolo and Adalman,latter only recently joined yet declaring me a God and the former making plans to start a religion without me knowing.

Besides if those words were to be publicized by some spy or outsiders do you how much headaches 'guy crimson', the mediator of this world, will give me?. Humans will be afraid of shifting power balances. And I will loose my advantage of hiding powered from my enemies. Besides do you perhaps have any masochist tendencies wanting to have our sisters coming for Tempest??.>

Veldora sweat dropped both by listening to the implications and seeing Rimuru foreshadowing his oldself when he was in his stomach.

I put out of thought acceleration, increased the coverage of barrier to include my direct subordinates in the barrier, and said

"Information I am sharing now must remain confidential among us;

Like he said we were training and then when I checked I had the ability to tweak skills of my subordinates or even grant skills provided they are compatible with it.I did that for myself and for you. The voice you heard, like VoW is from me. For example, you benimaru now has Ameterasu don't you? I am now what you call a digital life form enabling me to request VoW like you heard during my harvest festival "

Shizue and the rest got 'surprised' but it quickly went away possibly being due to the fact that they have gained immunity to it considering the previous situations.

Let's do a meeting now.

At the meeting office with the council members and Shizue,Shauna and advisors.

"Well the meeting is for a change in the future governance of Tempest and jura. At the demon lord council, I was allotted governance over entirety of Jura. We already has a council but still more workloads will only pile up.

So I suggest bringing forth heads of various races present in the jura beyond the river outside of dryad's influence.I was initially planning on having a festival but some thing came up, which I need to work on I don't know if I could manage it, we will organise a day in coming week for every tribe leaders to come and greet me. Also send one from souei's team as an emissary just to notify the change in Ruling. We shouldn't show any weakness infront of them and act prudently. Subtly indicate that not meeting me can be considered as a rebellion to the demonlord ruling rest of the forces in Jura although I don't wish to force anyone to submission, but this little threat could guarantee full participation for a meeting with demonlord.

One more thing is meeting with mjyornmiles.We had ramen and tempura udon and hamburgers business with him serving along inns near road to blumund.We need to allocate some part of wealth obtained from jistav by selling collections to account for the initial loss, but I believe it will be a money making business very soon.

These are the main topics let's discuss"

It went for a while and conducting festival was planned as the day when I could meet with the representatives, then came meetings with geld, Adalman and others.

'Yukki kagurazaka , having public facade of grandmaster, but actually an eccentric with twisted mind aiming for world domination I have to deal with him sometime later and when at walpurgis,when this topic came upon everyone was ok with me doing the work, surprisingly Leon was also supporting me deal with these enemies and no interference is agreed upon.

Well did he plan on stopping this summoning no? But maybe he is worried about backstabbing from these eccentrics and things getting out of his hand, threatening Leon with Chloe if his interests were found out?'

I ordered diabolo to send rayheim with the display orb. While not forgetting to remind diabolo that certain interested people at church might kill rayheim to accuse us. So even if that happens act prudently infront of the public if we were to be accused and not let anyone escape by thinking not worth your time with submissive attitude capture them for interrogation or you could message me that time.

'Diabolo has the ability to raise someone dead to demon serving under him if marked previously, but he probably wouldn't care about rayheim's death even if his soul got escaped somehow. '

He was praising me all the way for my sharp mind. I got embarrassed since I know the plot but with my current abilities I could also think like ciel and predict this, but it felt undeserving somehow so I waved him off.

Orb recorded the exact responce as cannon Rimuru did but just that Rimuru is a she and looks even more mature and divine. I didn't bother to add something as eventually if things played out it will be ok.

It's been so much since I had a bath time with shizue and Chloe hehe...

...

Things seem to move accordingly.

...

<Hinata meeting with holyknights>

Agenda is on discussing resurrection of storm dragon and birth of demonlord.

Serving as head of both crusaders and lubelius office rook elite hinata has been accused of letting slime escaped and birth of storm dragon. They also discussed falmuths incoming civilwar. Hinata revealed luminous god revelation that Rimuru controls Strom dragon and shouldn't be interfered with.

Hinata met reyheim who explained how Rimuru single handedly wiped out enemy,

' So he did take his revenge and now he is demonlord, all the more powerful,he must had his tough times born as a slime and reaching this height, wait why am I feeling sympathy for him even after killing 20000 humans?'

She saw the manipulated message orb which is just Rimuru inviting hinata for a duel.

'Rimuru is too beautiful now and taller'.I remembered her raising my chin and looking at up close to my face.She blushed unknowingly for a moment.'Dealing with luminous is definitely having a bad influence on me'

Combined with the presence of 7 luminery saints pointing out the message and encouraging to fight veldora and Rimuru at the same time by gifting a sword named dragobuster.

It was pretty much obvious to her that

'Either these people are related with yukki's team Rimuru was talking about or most probably they were influenced by someone either associated with church or an outsider. Either way I could see shizue sensei since I know how Rimuru helped luminous despite knowing who she was at walpurgis, I probably won't have to worry about her (Rimuru) harming me besides she could already do it earlier if he wanted yet he spared me.'

She didn't forget to meet holy emperor (louis) to convey her idea to luminous.

She set out from ingrassia after meeting with yukki to Tempest.

Her 5 loyal knights met and join with her little later even though she insisted otherwise.

Leonard and Giard were manipulated by 7 lumineries to believe demonlord Rimuru and hinata are allying together and so, they went ahead of hinata and tried to attack Tempest only to get beaten back by shion with her chef skill and holy barrier did nothing to monster with multi layered barrier.

Lilith went to fight with souei only to end up with souei tying her up with threads making immobile and using pleasure torture.i obtained the details of that technique using soul corridoe further research.For some reason ciel only encouraged me to do so. I have a bad feeling about this.

Hinata came to me.

Hinata POV

'Well 7 lumineries ordered Leonard and Giard to assist us but they went straight to battle? '

I reached there, I saw a beautiful women it's better to say divinely cute looking lady enjoying his subordinates fighting with battle sages. That's Rimuru.

"Hey Rimuru, " I said she turned towards me and action me to move together to see the battlefield.

<3rd PoV>

Well since both know each other they just nodded and came to see the battle field which is just started.

"So care to explain what's this all about?"

"I didnt order them though." Hinata explained.

" I believe that but whoever plan this did a pretty good indeed.My subordinate is live reporting events from falmuth."

>" Rayheim is dead now accusing us a demon did it, since 'reyheim chose god over devil' and murdered inside luberious to mask the information that mislead huge double debt onto falmuth. Evidence is a recording orb put forth by glenda.And that king Edward did say he gives his thanks to eastern merchant"

>" Earlier a demon slayer team from East came and they got defeated by just his haki. So the one who ordered support from east either that eastern merchant or someone manipulating then within lumineries and using eastern merchant, I believe it's the second."

>" Your battle sages Sare ,Glenda fought but lost and Glenda ran away first but since I asked everyone involved in this episode to be caught,diabolo apprehended them both."

>" That Glenda girl is suspicious. She is the one who got close up view recording of Rayheims death by demon except there is no demon in it and that was the evidence I told you earlier."

>" Do you guys have zoom cameras or something?Otherwise how would a demon willingly let you obtain footage? " Hinata has an unreadable expression on her face.

>" And how could she get a close up shots like these? She is possibly in cahoots with the one who killed Rayheim or that merchant"

I instructed diabolo to create an illution to make Glenda getting killed by obliterating into ashes with a flash. Sare,Glenda knows this is an illusion since they were still alive but they could figure out there was bigger forces at play. Continuing,Rimuru explained to Hinata:

>" Gregori and falmuth forces are caught by Ranga,goblinriders and dragonewts and ...Oh so lumineries came, trying to kill the reporters to remove evidence,bad luck hahaha a demon protected humans from human saints!! . That's funny. 3 of the lumineries went to fight the demon used disintegration and diabolo defeated by isolating them in a virtual realm. Good thing I send a souei's clone to report this.....it's over."

Rimuru said while listening to Souei's clone messages for progress.

Hinata asked "Who is this diabolo? He sounds very powerful"

"Oh he is Noir the Black primordial." She had a WTF look." You named him also??"

I explained." Come on, I didn't know back then.All I did was a greater demon summoning and this guy willingly interfered with summoning popped out and came to me for subordination and he just had a heart attack when I said him to go, it was funny. But he looked at me like some messiah or god something so I couldn't just get rid of him acting over like that and besides he is a good secretary now. He acts like a weirdo praising me for no reason at all but like I said he's really efficient."

" Enough about that; Did Rayheim's message not reached or did they manipulated it?, it was a 2 minute recording" asked Rimuru.

Hinata sighed " You are correct in your assumption all I got as a message was we will have a 1vs 1 fight."

" See I told you before in our fight, enemies using us to fight against each other.We possibly could obtain information from that Glenda girl. I will interogate her.You can come ok." Rimuru smiled and replied.

Battle hear was over but

Leonard seeing Hinata talking with Rimuru all these while says "So Hinata, lumineries were right, you were allying with him against God luminous ideals..aren't you?"

" Oh you were instigated by lumineries right?"Rimuru said.

Suddenly Hinata's Sword activated on it's own and went straight towards my body. I can see it coming in slow motion but what stopped me interfering is Hinata trying to cover me with her body to defend against it.

Just when it touches her back I activated domain all over and and stopped it with my fingers.

I looked at Hinata covering me with a hug with her face infront me eyes closed. I gave a kiss while saying "it's over, I got your back and Thank you"

I sensed her reflex and reluctantly seperated to avoid getting a smack on my face. Well higher reflexes has its advantages.

She stood by my side extremely embarassed. So I called out "Time out. And you Giard or Beard whatever it is?Why did you try to kill her?".

" Well we originally plotted her allying with you as a rumour but it looks like she were allying with you." Then changed to lumineries uniform.

Suddenly rest of the lumineries, 3 of them came and all 4 casted a gigantic disintegration magic over enemies and knights together over and well no surprises,it did came and stopped at some metre away from my raised finger. I just manipulated the incoming 'delete' information particles formed by holy magic by information particle manipulation.

"Well it was very flashy show so what's now?" I asked.

" How you....That can't be..Monster?Take this.." One of them said and 4 of them simultaneously did holy trinity disintegrations on myself. I just put up Uriel just so that my clothes made by Shauna won't get damaged.It came and went." So what's that supposed to do? Blind me for a while? " Even Hinata looked at me forgetting my earlier offense, dumbfounded.

My subordinates laughed.

They were about to run. I just fixated all 4 of them infront of us. I asked "Again I have doubt, you all are enlightened humans not saints and you call yourself 7 saints. This beautiful Hinata over here one who you tried to kill is a saint but she really doesn't care to advertise as it is!.?"

Then there was a tear in space and Luminous came out and killed the 4 saints by herself using death blessing and saying it was capital offense they committed.And came to us. The knights hereing saints calling her Highness and louis their pope introducing her as God Luminous got startled and dropped their weapon and went to knees.

She apologised to me addressing as Demon Lord Rimuru Tempest?.

" Hi God Luminous what was that attack called? 'Hands of God?' "

She was about to explain when Veldora came catching one of the flown of robes from wind and "Hey Rimuru I sensed a fight.. here . Hmm and a De.mhhw.."

<Don't reveal her identity>

Using thought communication.I shut him up using dominate at his jaws.

"What happened to him and who is he? " Hinata asked thinking 'I didn't even sense him coming' ."Oh he is Veldora kun. Don't worry about him, he accidently bit himself while speaking." Neglecting the exclamtions I asked valentine,

"So would you like to visit Tempest now that everything is cleared?" who was bit glaring at veldora amidst the exclamtions of the knights.

.....

That's how battle ended and Rimuru invited a demon lord and a human saints to his home.
