99: What happened

At the same time, Milim gained her first unique skill Rimuru and Ciel who were sleeping on their suddenly jolted awake. They just felt the protections they left on Velgaia and Milim react.

"Ciel locate Milim and Velgaia immediately, " Rimuru said as she jumped out of the bed. And just as her feet touched the ground her pajamas turned to black smoke and in the next second changed to her combat outfit.

Her outfit consists of a sleeveless black tunic that reaches down to her thighs, featuring a high collar and a somewhat loose fit. She wears black arm guards that cover her forearms and extend to her elbows, complemented by golden shoulder guards that add a touch of armor and flair to her look. A white belt cinches the tunic at her waist, providing a striking contrast to the dark fabric. She pairs this with fitted black trousers tucked into knee-high black boots, creating a practical yet stylish ensemble. The overall design blends traditional and modern elements, with the golden shoulder guards and the white belt adding visual interest and breaking up the monotony of the black fabric.

Ciel nodded and immediately turned to black smoke and entered Rimuru's body. And in a span of less than a second, she scanned the whole cardinal world and located both Milim and Velgaia.

' Master, it seems Velgia has been captured as he is currently in the kingdom of elves while Milim is at a place near the border of the kingdom. ' Ciel said as she analyzed everything.

" Is his life in any danger? " Rimuru asked with furrowed brows. You know Velgia isn't actually weak. And for someone to detain him this person must be very powerful.

' Negative his life signs are stable. It's just that he is currently unconscious so I can't connect to him, ' Ciel said with a frown. This is a situation they didn't take into account.

She and Rimuru would monitor Milim and Velgia every day to make sure they didn't do something too crazy. But they would stop their observation every time they fell asleep. Since she and Rimuru knew they couldn't really protect those two every day so gradually they stopped monitoring them every day.

But it seems they were too hasty in their judgment. They thought with the skills Rimuru and Veldora had taught them they could fight and at the very least escape safely.

Well, they were wrong in their judgment. In the original story, Velgaia didn't even manage to protect Milim as she and him were captured by Jahil without any difficulty. His plan only failed because Milim at the last minute awakened her ultimate skill and went berserk.

Here though not only did Jahil barely manage to capture Velgia he even lost his elite troops. And furthermore, he himself knew that he couldn't capture Milim.

'Master I recommend going to see Milim first. Her emotional state is very unstable. If not handled correctly she may lose her sanity like she did in the past. ' Ciel advised as she looked at Rimuru.

Rimuru clenched her fists hard before slowly calming down. She then nodded to Ciel's suggestion and opened a space rift to where she felt Milim was. She knew she needed to have a calm mind to assess the situation calmly.

Coming out of the other side of the portal she saw Milim laying on top of a small mountain of corpses. Her eyes were barely conscious.

Rimuru wasted no time as she rushed towards her and applied a healing spell potion on her. The potion managed to restore some of her exhausted mental energy.

She looked at Rimuru and said in a broken voice, " Aunty Rimuru they took Velgaia away please help him "

"Don't worry Milim, we will go get him back. For now, let's just wait for the healing potion to work. I'm sure you want to take revenge on them by yourself. " Rimuru said as she tried to calm Milim down. The healing potion needs to take a few seconds to completely take effect.

This is especially for magic-borns who have a great resistance to magical attacks. And Milim 's magical resistances are quite high.

After a while, Milim got up. Although she is still agitated over not being able to help Velgia for the most part she recovered her mental energy. Forcing her mind to calm down Milim looked at Rimuru with hopeful and eyes.

If her aunt makes a move they could rescue Velgia in a matter of minutes. Once they find Velgia and rescue him, Milim vows to break the bones of that bastard a hundred times as revenge for attacking them.

" Ok Milim now since you have calmed down a little, explain to me the situation clearly. What happened and why was Velgia kidnapped? " Rimuru asked as she looked at Milim seriously.

You don't kidnap people without a cause.' Especially if they decided to mobilize such a force. ' Rimuru thought as she looked at fallen soldiers.

At one glance she could tell they are highly trained professionals. No run-in-a-mile bandit could have such a force. And from what Ciel has found so far the perpetrator is from the Elf kingdom.

'Why would the elf kingdom want to attack Milim and Velgia? ' Rimuru thought with a frown. 'And what is the feeling of I'm forgetting something important '.

Although Rimuru has a perfect memory after living for millions of years she would forget some useless knowledge. So unless she tries very hard she wouldn't remember it. And this isn't actually the best time to reminisce about her past.

"Earlier today me and Velgia were kicked out of the city so we had no choice but to camp outside. And when it was close to midnight we were attacked by these guys. At first both of us didn't think too much about them as we figured they were some bandits who wanted to make some quick money.

So just as I was about to cast a spell to knock them all away a barrier suddenly appeared and blocked me from using any magic. So I had no choice but to use physical attacks. And just when Velgia was about to join the fight a man who was much stronger than the others suddenly appeared and attacked Velgia.

Fortunately, Velgia had his anti-skill that allowed him to nullify the attack. Since that man took the initiative to attack, Velgia too counterattacked.

At first, I thought with Velgia 's anti-skill he could beat that man who seems to be a mage with ease. But the fight didn't last a few minutes as Velgia was defeated by that man.

And when I wanted to help Velgia it was too late. That man launched an attack at me and used it as a cover to teleport away with Velgia.

And I couldn't go after them as these guys kept coming at me even after I killed more than half of them. " Milim said as she narrated the whole situation.

Rimuru frowned as she heard Milim's explanation. Unlike Milim who had no idea, Rimuru could see the bigger picture. The reason why Milim and Velgaia were kicked out was because the mastermind wanted them out of the city to launch his attack. And for this mission, he took a squad of death knights who would fight even if their comrades were killed.

That is to say, he wanted to either kill or capture the other party. And judging from the way things went their objective was Velgaia as he was quickly dealt with.

'Ciel find out what happened here ' Rimuru said as she commanded Ciel to do what she is best at.
