Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN) 2018

c92 - VS. Holy Knights Part 3

Ranga was running through the battlefield, his body was light, as light as if it were a feather.

The sensation of being upon the Earth gradually began to fade, and before he knew it, his body was already running in the sky.

Naturally, the acquisition of the skill <Soaring Run> [1] was a skill that could only be acquired by one who belonged to some of the highest ranks of Magical Beast.

However, such things were no more than trifling matters to Ranga now. The wave of strength he now exuded gave him a certain feeling of delight.

His body was now overflowing with power, as if his very energy was pulsating.

His limbs, now covered with a jet-black fur, now had Golden Lightning pulsing through them. Demonic energy was seeping out like an electrical discharge.

A large Golden Horn now grew on his forehead, on the left and right was the unchanged jet-black horns from his earlier form.

The Golden Horn in the center was releasing rays of crystallized energy, pure energy it gave off continuously.

As he was, he gave off the dignity of a King. A majestic beast of noble presence that demanded the respect of his domain.

The jet-black fur, that covered his majestic body, was clad in lightning. The deep black color, akin to darkness itself, was clad in a near divine radiance that fluttered delicately in the wind.

However, in contrast to the gentle visage he possessed, the speed that he achieved while soaring in the sky had long since passed the speed of sound.

But, only within Ranga's surroundings, the airspace retained its utter calmness as if nothing could disturb it.

A Space-based Barrier that he used consciously.

As Ranga vigorously soared through the sky, he caught sight of a group of Holy Knights positioned below him.
Using thought link, he had already confirmed that there was no one else currently headed to that direction.

Making a sharp nose dive, all the while killing his great momentum, he made his rapid advance towards the Holy Knight's group.

The Holy Knight Squad Commander Fritz steadily made progress on the necessary preparations. All according to Lady Hinata's plan. So far, there was not a single error in her judgement.

There was nothing suspicious and, therefore, no problems whenever she took the lead.

This time was no different. Although, he was still taking precautions, since it was never a bad idea to be cautious.

It's only a group of monsters, even though these same monsters had proclaimed themselves to be a country, there was no need to take this as a major event.

This was Fritz's opinion on the matter, however, Hinata had no use for the opinion of someone only at his level.

It was only something natural to follow and make Lady Hinata's opinion his own as she was someone that he adored.

It was for that reason that he made the various preparations, so that as soon as the signal from the other groups came through, his group would also be able to immediately begin. It was possible to invoke the barrier at any time...

Then, then disaster itself came crashing from the sky.

Fritz had never neglected his guard.

He felt that the need for such an excessive strategy was exaggerating the threat of the situation, but he was still faithful and trusted Lady Hinata's orders.
