Chereads / The True Dragon (TenSura – Hiatus) / Chapter 18 - Virtue And Sin | Walpurgis

Chapter 18 - Virtue And Sin | Walpurgis

Granbell tried using his control of life on Chimon, but to his surprise and wonder, it didn't work.

"Take this!" yelled Granbell as he kicked Chimon's side chest.

With Chimon grabbing his calf and throwing him like an old doll, he uses [Physical counter].

Groaning and grabbing his chest, and with blood coming out of his mouth he says "What did you do? Is it a unique skill?"

Catching onto what Granbell was trying to do, Chimon says "Stalling for time isn't going to work."

"Damn it." Granbell said with an audible tch coming out of his mouth.

With not even a second passing by, Chimon dissapeared from Granbell's line of sight and a fist was all he could see.

When Chimon's fist made contact with Granbell's face, it created a loud sonic boom, launching him threw the building.

Looking at the terrified little girl, Chimon began walking towards her and said "You don't have to worry. It'll all end painlessly."

With his right hand facing her small stature, ready to use [Belzebuth], Granbell came back and tried to send Chimon flying.

Taking a step back, dodging the attack and looking at the out of breath Granbell, he says "I can end this now if you want."

"I will not let you touch her!" screamed Granbell as he sent punches to Chimon for him to easily dodge them.

"I think I want to cause a disaster." Chimon said as he used [Disaster manipulation].

When he used [Disaster manipulation] there were tornados, earthquakes, and more.

Everything in a 500 mile radius was destroyed and the only ones standing were Chimon, Zegion, Jayvyn, Charrys, Granbell, and Mariabell.

Holding Granbell by the throat, a golden light enveloped Granbell as he began yelling "I will not fall!"

<{The final condition has been met}>

<{The Unique skill, [Unyielding One] is evolving into the Ultimate skill, [Sariel, Lord Of Hope] due to completing the last condition}>

Using life on his body, Granbell healed himself and began trying to get out of Chimon's strong grip.

Curiously looking at the struggling Granbell, he asks "Do you think that just by getting an ultimate skill you'll be able to defeat me?"

"Well, that is what you're going to think as you die." Chimon said as he began using [Belzebuth] on Granbell.

"What is this!" yelled Granbell.

"I cannot die like--"

And that was the last sentence he said before he met his death.

<{You have acquired the Ultimate skill, [Sariel, Lord Of Hope] from the individual named Granbell Rosso}>

Slowly turning his head towards the frightened looking little girl, he says "It's your turn."

With nowhere to run since they were stranded because of the earthquake, she desperately says "Come on, [Greed]!"

Trying to take over his mind, he gets notified from Raphael and destroys whatever she was doing.

"Your useless struggle will only slow down your inevitable death." said Chimon as he crouched in front of her.

Grabbing her small head, she began thrashing his hand with it doing nothing.

"If only you hadn't been so greedy to not manifest the skill."

"How dare you! Let go of me!" Maria said as she lashed out.

"I'm afraid I cant do that... but I can do this." Chimon said as he used [Belzebuth].

Hearing her inaudible muffled crys for help, Chimon hears The Voice Of The World's voice.

<{You have acquired the Unique skill, [Greed] from the individual named Mariabell Rosso}>

Standing up from his crouched position, looking around him and the destruction he caused, he says "Let's head to Abyss."

Zegion, as loyal as ever says "Yes."

"I'm going inside your stomach." said Charrys as they went inside Chimon's stomach.

The light lord, Jayvyn, had trouble with what Chimon did since he's supposed to stop this.

But nonetheless, he says "I will also be going inside your stomach to train."

Looking at Zegion, he says "Let's go."

...

Appearing in front of a shocked Rimuru, he screams out of surprise "Ah!"

Shuna, seeing Chimon, she cheerfully says "It's nice to see you again, Chimon-sama."

"I welcome you back from wherever you went, Chimon-sama." said Benimaru through a crystal, getting on his knees.

Breaking through the door were two very eager demons, and to which Diablo said "I hope whatever you were doing went well, my lord. I just hope you'll never do that again."

"Where were you?" questioned Kami as everyone looked at her.

"What? I'm asking what everyone wants to say to him."

Separating from Zegion and Jayvyn, he says "Training."

Waiting for Chimon to say more, he just had his arms crossed.

"That's it?" Rimuru asked as he glanced at Zegion, Jayvyn, and Charrys.

But his gaze was mostly on Zegion since it felt like he was stronger than him, even though he doesn't have an ultimate skill.

"Why are you getting dressed?" Chimon asked, getting Rimuru out of his thoughts.

"I'm going to Walpurgis and I'm taking--"

"You're taking me." Chimon said as he interrupted Rimuru.

Wanting to know why, Rimuru says "Why do you want to come with me?"

"I want to see for myself how strong the Demon Lords really are." answered Chimon.

"Is that really a valid reason?" Rimuru asked as he was still getting clothed by Shuna.

"Are you doubting him?" questioned Diablo with his tone getting aggressive.

"That's not it. I just don't know if the other Demon Lords will take kind to bringing a powerful being like him."

"If you're so afraid of them, then I'll make it so that I'm just a disaster class monster."

"What if someone notices you're not a disaster class monster?" questioned Rimuru.

"They won't."

Silence permeated for a couple seconds, so to stop that he says "And even if they do, why would they attack me."

"I guess you're right... Then I guess I'll have to make Hakdûr stay in Abyss since you're coming with me." Rimuru said as he adjusted his sleeves.

"Ahem!" coughed Benimaru, trying to get their attention.

Benimaru began explaining his plan for their infiltration on Clayman's base.

...

While Benimaru and the others were attacking Clayman's base Rimuru, Shuna, Chimon, Zegion, Diablo, Kami, Veldora, Ramiris, Berreta, and Treyni were still in the office.

Done with Rimuru's new clothes, Shuna had to leave since she wanted to go with Souei and Hakurou.

"Stay safe." Rimuru said as he checked out his new clothes.

"I will." Shuna said as she teleported out of there.

With Shuna gone, everyone was dead silent, so to stop that Rimuru says "There are ten Demon Lords, right?"

"There's Milim, Ramiris, Leon, Carrion, Frey, Clayman... What are the other four like?" Rimuru said as he began naming everyone he knew, asking for the other four names.

With Veldora explaining the names of Luminous, Dagruel, and Guy Crimson, Ramiris was saying that he's really strong.

She also said that him, Milim, and her are the oldest Demon Lords.

"I see... So who's the last one?" Rimuru asked as he looked at Veldora.

"I don't know." Veldora said as he went back to reading.

"Their name is Dino." Ramiris said, flying closer to Rimuru's face.

Saying that he does nothing but sleeps and is more of a slacker than her, Rimuru says "Oh? So there's another one of you?"

"Don't compare me to him!"

Feeling something coming inside the room, Ramiris says "It looks like our ride is here!"

With the a large metallic door coming out of the ground, opening, out comes a long green haired lady wearing a maid outfit.

"I've come to collect you, Lady Ramiris."

'This maid... is almost as intimidating as Diablo.' thought Rimuru as was staring at her.

'So she's a demon, and a high-ranking one at that.'

"Long time no see, Misery! How's your partner, Rain?" Ramiris asked as she flew closer to Misery.

"As well as ever. Thank you for asking." Misery said as she turned towards Ramiris.

Looking at Rimuru, she asks "You are Great Rimuru?"

Nodding, she says "My master, Lord Guy, has told me about you."

"Please proceed." Misery said as she glanced at Diablo and Kami.

With Diablo noticing her gaze, he gave her a grin and a small little wave.

Seeing what Diablo was doing, Kami looked at Misery and just stuck out her tongue.

Trying to be professional, Misery ignored them and was waiting on Rimuru, Lake, and Chimon to enter.

"Let's go!" Rimuru said to Lake and Chimon, walking to the large metallic gate.

'So you're a Primordial too...' Chimon thought as he looked at Misery, unaware of him looking at her.

Behind Rimuru and beside Lake, they entered the gate as Misery began following them.

...

Entering a room with eleven chairs, sitting down on one, it seemed like one person had arrived sooner than them.

'Oh, boy... He's bad news. He's clearly in a class of his own.' thought Rimuru as he looked at the guy in front of him.

'So this is one of the oldest Demon Lords, Guy Crimson.' again, thought Rimuru as he became tense.

With a relatively small giant coming into Rimuru's peripheral, he thought 'That massive body... And the ridiculous amount of energy...'

'That's the giant Demon Lord, Dagruel.'

With three more people following a blue haired maid, he saw fangs on one of them.

'Is he a vampire? Which makes him the Demon Lord, Valentine...'

Looking at the maid, Rimuru got confused since it looked like she had more energy than Valentine.

<{Answer}>

<{Appraisal suggests that the individual in question may possess even more enegy than Demon Lord Valentine}>

'I thought so. That maid might be the True Demon Lord.'

Having their hands behind their head, yawning, and looking at Ramiris he says "Oh, hey. You're still a puny little thing, huh?"

Bickering with each other, Frey and her two attendants came out of the portal and went to a seat.

With Rimuru drooling over Frey's body, Chimon came up to him to say "That lion might be an acquaintance of someone you know."

"Someone I... know?" Rimuru questioned as he put a finger on his chin.

Looking at the lion with wings, seeing a resemblance to someone he made a pact with, he thought 'There's no way they would make it that obvious, right?'

"So you are Rimuru?" asked a yellow haired man, standing behind him.

Getting out of his chair and looking at him, he says "That's right."

"I see. You're Leon."

"Do you want something from me?" Rimuru asked.

"No. Your appearance felt familiar to me, that's all."

Saying things related to Shizue and Euzihs, Rimuru began getting agitated by how Leon treated them.

Not knowing why Rimuru was getting mad at him, he says as he sat down "I don't know why you're getting so worked up."

"But I am a little interested in you. I will invite you to my castle. So if you have an issue with me, see me there."

Turning around, Rimuru saw Milim, happy that she was not harmed, he thought 'With Carrion missing, that makes eight.'

'Which means the cocky-looking guy next to her is...'

"Walk faster, you dullard!" Clayman yelled as he back handed Milim, doing no damage to her.

Getting everyone's attention by what he did, the all looked up and began watching.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting!"

Looking at Milim and back at Clayman, Rimuru began exerting his magicules out of rage.

'Clayman... Don't expect a painless death.' thought Rimuru as he let out a grin towards Clayman.

-Before Clayman Arrived-

'Raphael, see if anyone here has a Sin or Virtue skill.' Chimon said to Raphael.

<{Notice}>

<{The individual named Guy Crimson is a holder of a Sin skill. The maid, who's name is Luminous, is a holder of a Sin skill}>

<{The individual named Dino is a holder of a Sin and Virtue skill. The individual named Leon Cromwell is a holder of a Virtue skill}>

Taking another look at Guy, Chimon thought 'I don't know if I could defeat him.'

'Leon might be a little troublesome, but I can take him down. The maid and Dino are going to be easy to take down.'

Feeling the presence of Misery, Milim, and someone weak, he looks over and gets notified.

<{Notice}>

<{The individual named Milim is a holder of a Sin skill}>
