Rimuru had already set out to Ingrassia, and he entered the guild headquarters immediately, without getting a letter of recommendation from Fuze, he just teleported with Velzard inside very stealthily.
As they both entered the headquarters, everyone eyed the two absolutely beautiful ladies, one was a long blue haired lady with eyes that can pierce your soul wearing a black coat with black pants, having a very serious demeanor, the other was a white haired woman with such a body it would make even the most hardened of veterans lustful.
Some men try to approach them but they are brutally rejected, much to their dismay.
They approach the counter.
Velzard stares at the receptionist meanwhile Rimuru does the talking.
"Hey, get us a meeting with Yuuki Kagurazaka as fast as possible, this is concerning Shizue Izawa and the children at the Freedom Academy."
"I'm sorry Guildmaster Yuuki Kagurazaka isn't available at this ti-"
Velzard eyed the receptionist, making fear for his life, he doesn't know why, but he felt like he and everyone here would die if he said no.
"U-uhm..F-F-Follow m-me..."
They went after him, reaching Yuuki's office.
"I told them not to send anyone in...
Sh-Shizu.. Sensei?" Yuuki trailed off, his acting skills were top notch, but Velzard could see right through him, and Rimuru was already warned about him.
Rimuru handed the mask to Velzard, as soon as he moved, Yuuki launched an attack at him, sending everything flying.
Rimuru said nothing.
Velzard pinned him down using Ice Spikes she formed, the room started to turn cold.
"Wh-Who are you!"
"Cut the shit, Yuuki Kagurazaka, you think you scheming against me and my people will go slide?"
Rimuru said that, he didn't even know what he was saying, but he knew Yuuki was a danger as far as Iudex said, and he wasn't letting anyone harm his allies.
"My my... he has a very unique ability, he's blocking every skill I try placing on him, but don't worry, he can't resist this, can he?" She sent an Ice Spike flying through his abdomen.
Yuuki coughed blood, this wasn't a skill, this was a manifestation of pure cold, a cold so frigid, you cannot help but freeze to death on contact.
"H-how.. did you know...
Kagali.... run.."
"You're not dying yet, I WON'T let you die yet."
Rimuru took Yuuki and slammed his head against the wall.
Rimuru charged his "Bestial Fury" with "Unending Gluttony" to the max.
Yuuki gave up, knowing that he won't get anywhere, even if he enables Anti-Skill...
He won't live.. so he plans to end his suffering.
(Kagali, take the rest.. and run..)
(Yuuki? Are you alright!?? Yuuki!)
The thought communication was cut.
'I've already.. instigated Hinata against them.. they won't live.. this ice woman.. and this majin copying.. Shizu-sensei..'
"You won't die, You'll suffer within something worse than hell."
Yuuki was consumed entirely.
Velzard had barricaded the doors meanwhile they tried to enter, after she noticed Rimuru was done with Yuuki, they left immediately after, the nation went into meltdown, Yuuki was pronounced missing and was chased after by everyone, the two women that appeared that day were not identified yet.
[Success, you have gained the Unique Skill "Creator".
Sub-skills:
Analytical appraisal: Fused with Slime Wisdom, increasing it's analytical capabilities, making it harder for enemies to counter.
Anti-Skill: A composition that nullifies skills in their entirety, including forces and magicules.
Combining Extra Skill "Anti-Skill" with Physical Attack Nullification is possible, would the individual Rimuru Tempest accept? If the individual accepts, the fusion will grant the Ultimate Skill: "Defense Lord Anicetus".]
'Ultimate Skill.. huh..
I accept.'
[Confirmed, preparing individual's body for the Ultimate Skill.
Success, individual Rimuru Tempest has evolved into a Greater Slime, a sub-species of the Demon Slime race.]
"Rimuru?
Rimuru? Do you hear me?" Velzard was questioning Rimuru as he fell onto the floor.
'I have it.. I have the power to defend my subordinates now..
with such a skill... I must be able to defy everything..
Defense Lord Anicetus..'
He fell into deep deep sleep.
After 5 days of quiet slumber, Rimuru woke up in his temporary room in the Ice Castle, sensing that he woke up, Guy and Velzard rushed to him.
"Hey, heard you got an ultimate skill, good job."
"Good job Rimuru~'
"Yeah whatever... wait..
Did the invasion start?!?
What about the kids??!"
"Well, you were out, what do you expect? The invasion has started yes, but you have time, there's a week left for them to reach, as for the children... we took them to Tempest, well, Velzard did, she said she was from Shizue's side, and the children followed her like she was their promised savior."
They both exchanged a laugh, Rimuru sighed in relief.
"So, tell us, what does your ultimate skill do, Rimuru~?"
"I.. Don't really know, let me see."
'Great Sage, analyze it.'
{Yes, The Ultimate Skill Defense Lord Anicetus is a skill that specializes in defense against anything physical and skill related, meaning if there is any magic and/or physical attacks involved, it will completely nullify it, canceling their effect completely, no matter the enemies' strength.}
'Wow... that sounds busted..'
He proceeded to explain that to them, much to their awe.
Guy immediately took a massive swing at Rimuru, Rimuru tried to dodge but he was far too slow, Guy's attack connected, but nothing happened, neither of them felt anything.
"It actually works, that was a pretty hard punch from me..." Guy said in approval.
Velzard had genuine surprise on her face.
"It's good to see you're progressing smoothly, when you become a demon lord, I wonder how much stronger you'll get.."
'Demon lord.. huh..
That's right.. if I need to get stronger to protect my allies.. I need power.. becoming a demon lord is the perfect way for that.... Yes.. I'll make sure to put those human souls to good use..'
