âThen what?â Asked the fire elemental sword god that had transformed into a demon.
âMy mercy,â Slimeâs smile disappeared from his face.
âHmph!â The demonized fire elemental sword god snorted.
Slash!!
!!!???
âTsk!â (Slime)
(Master!!) (Reo)
(Master!!) (Fenrir)
âMr. Slime!â Sera called out in panic towards Slime.
It all happened in an instant.
The demonized fire elemental sword god slashed one of Slimeâs hands.
âI donât need the mercy of a dead man-â
(Heâs not bleeding? Is that another shadow clone of his? No, Iâm certain that his presence resides on that body. But why is he not bleeding?) (Demonized Fire Elemental Sword God)
(What are the two of you shouting for? Have both of you forgot what am I?) (Slime)
(Ah! Sorry, that intense atmosphere made me forgot it for a second, hehe) (Fenrir)
(Indeed⦠Even though he even mention it in his nameâ¦) (Reo)
(Reo, lend me your power once more) (Slime)
(My pleasure, master!! For him to dare injure our master!! Even though the master is fine, Iâm not fine with it!! Letâs show him the wrath of the king of the dark spirits!!) (Reo)
âHeed my callings, dear the king of the fallen spirits. Lend me your power and show my enemy the terror of darkness, [Reo Arken]!!!â (Slime)
Whoosh!!!
âM-Mr. Slime?â (Sera)
A black typhoon appeared out of nowhere and covered Slime inside it. The black typhoon sent the demonized sword gods flying while some black winds made a sphere that surrounds Sera and protects her.
After some moment, the typhoon disappears together with the black sphere surrounding Sera, leaving Slime that wears black full-body armor while holding a pitch-black staff. Slime looks so majestic that made Sera stare at him in awe. But one other fact made Sera had her eyes wide.
âH-his left hand had grown back?â Sera muttered in confusion.
âY-you⦠What is that powerâ¦? And that hand, Iâm certain that I had already get rid of that left hand of yours. Who the hell are you!!??â Asked one of the demonized sword god warriors.
âI have no obligations to answer. But well, let me introduce myself. My name is Slime Tarot, and Iâm a slime,â Slime answered coldly.
âA slime?â (Sera)
âHmph! Even if you got powered up a little bit, what can you do against four of us!?â Asked one of the demonized sword god warriors arrogantly.
âPrincess, those four are almost as strong as a demon [King] rank. Can you show me your âEndless Coldâ sword?â Asked Slime in a whisper.
ââ¦.â (Sera)
Looking at the hesitating Sera, Slime couldnât help but have the corner of his mouth curled up a little bit.
(Well, Iâll also afraid of getting betrayed and have it stolen in such a dire situationâ¦) (Slime)
âTrust me, princess, I wonât take it from you. Weâre going to need your power when we fight them, and that sword will be the key,â Slime ensures Sera.
âItâs not that I donât trust you, itâs just that showing the sword to someone else, especially someone from a foreign country, is a big taboo. But since this is a special case, Iâll let you hold it,â (Sera)
âNo, no, no. All you need is to show it to me,â (Slime)
âLike this?â Asked Sera as she lifts the sword upwards.
âYup, like this. Fenrir,â (Slime)
(Roger that, master) (Fenrir)
Tap!
Slime touched the âEndless Coldâ sword with the orb of his staff. After the staff touched the sword, the sword shines with pretty blue light and is releasing a tremendous amount of mana.
âW-what did you do!?â Sera asked with wide eyes.
âI just strengthened it a bit,â Slime answered as he winked.
(Thatâs creepy) (Fenrir)
(Shut up) (Slime)
âW-w-why? H-how could you even do that?â (Sera)
âWell, thatâs a secret, little princess. And I think weâre running out of time to have a leisure talk, princess. Letâs punish these traitors of mankind first,â Said Slime as he ready his black staff.
âWell, thatâs not wrong. Anyway, Iâm glad youâre fine. But please explain to me everything when this end,â (Sera)
âAs you wish, princess,â (Slime)
(Why donât you use âThe Defiler Of The Banished, Ataraxiaâ staff, master?) (Reo)
(Because theyâll realize his identity, you stupid cat!) (Fenrir)
âHmph! Have you finished your last conversation?â Asked one of the demonized fire elemental sword god warriors arrogantly.
âMeet our personal demonic army,â Continue him with a confident smile. Hundreds of demons appear and surrounded Slime and Sera.
âTheyâre their summoned demons. It looks like they achieved that power because they ascended at the demonic ranks. Are you ready, princess?â Asked Slime in concern that the princess might get scared because of the number surrounding them.
Sera could feel a tremendous amount of mana and power that continues to flow towards her from the âEndless Coldâ, somehow she felt the urge to go berserk and try this new power of her.
With a confident smile, Sera that has regained her confidence answered Slimeâs question.
âMore than ever,â (Sera)
âGood,â A smile formed on Slimeâs face.
âNow, letâs finish this quickly, shall we? I have the old guardian to meet with,â (Slime)
*****************************************
Inside a huge royal palace, a man is kneeling in front of the throne.
âHas the plan started?â Asked the man that sits on top of the throne.
âIt has, your majesty. And it will succeed,â Answered the man who kneeled with a hoarse voice.
âAre you sure? I heard that the soldiers from the Tarot empire are formidable. The rumors about them were spread worldwide that it even reached my ears several times,â Asked the one who sits on the throne.
âThey are true, your majesty. But it will be fine, as the one that we sent were four sword god ranked warriors that had succeeded to complete their demonification,â
âA soldier that had gone through a demonification will have their power strengthened at least two folds from their original strength, your majesty. Even if the ambassador of the Tarot empire has some tricks under his sleeves, and could collaborate perfectly with the winter princess, they still wonât be able to defeat the four of them, your majesty,â Said the kneeling man confidently.
âThen thatâs good. Having the princess eliminated will weaken the Grandaria kingdom. While having the Tarot empireâs ambassador eliminated will give us the opportunity to break their relationship with the Grandaria kingdom. If it succeeded, it will allow us to manipulate the relationship with the Tarot empire,â (King)
âYes, indeed, your majesty,â Replied the kneeling man.
âYes, But! The plan will only proceed smoothly if the ambassador of the Tarot empire who knew too much and the winter princess who had been controlling the flow and hindering our plans lately, die!!â The king shouted in anger as he imagined the face of the princess that had always destroy his plans to conquer the Grandaria kingdom.
âThe queen of the Grandaria kingdom had almost no power left on that kingdom before that Gracefield bastard took Grandaria, I will take it first!!â (King)
âRest assured, your majesty. We will make sure to kill them. As we demons will never lose to humans,â The kneeling man that was just a thin man transformed into a huge man, no, demon. A pair of horns appeared together with a pair of wings.
âWe will definitely conquer this land,â
*************************************
â[Frost Giant] [Evil Snowman] [Ice Serpent] [Ice Wyvern] [Frost Guardians]â Clad in her ice fortress armor, Sera summoned her army of winter. Anyone who saw the scene will definitely mutter her glorious name that had spread worldwide.
âDamned winter princess,â (Fire elemental sword god warrior)
While on the other hand, Slime called out his forces of darkness.
âProtect and serve your king of darkness, Rise from the old shadows, Darkness skill:[Shadow Servants]â Slime muttered as he tapped on the ground with his staff.
But unlike Seraâs summoning, Slimeâs summoned creatures didnât appear immediately.
âAttack!â The hundreds of demons rushed towards Slime and Sera under the demonized sword godâs orders.
As they have the advantage in number, the demonized fire elemental sword god had a smile formed on his face as he is confident of winning.
âHold your position!!â Seraâs army of ice took the defensive stance.
âReo,â Together with Slimeâs call, a huge black dark magic circle appears beside him.
The miasma of death immediately covered the whole battlefield.
âW-what is that?â (Demonized Sword God Warrior)
âLet me show you the thing called fear,â (Slime)
Growl!
A growl, the growl is deep and majestic.
But just by hearing the growl, the demonized sword god warriors could feel that their legs are slightly trembling.
(W-what the hell is that?) (Demonized Fire Elemental Sword God Warrior)
ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A roar of a deathly beast.
The roar was filled with a tremendous amount of dark miasma that makes even the demon army halted their march. Most of the demons trembled as they saw the figure of the beast that appeared beside Slime.
The one who brings death.
Heâs darkness and death warped in flesh.
No demons didnât know his identity, even those who were just born or just summoned as his name is widely known in the spirit realm.
The darkness spirit king.
âRise! And show them the fear of the darkness!â
