Sword Saint (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime X Male Reader)

Chapter 5: Trials of the 7

Y/N and Hinata walks up the stairs of a very ominous looking castle.

Y/N looks at Hinata who seems to be wearing a troubled expression which raises his curiosity. When they reach the top of the stairs, they were met with the Pope Emperor of the Western Church and Demon Lord Valentine.

They both were standing at the side of a white haired girl with two different eye colors. She was sitting on a throne.

{Echidna}: So that's what she was playing as all this time.

Y/N: Can you tell me what's going on here?

{Echidna}: Nope, It would just ruin the fun.

The girl on the throne looks at Hinata for a moment before turning her attention toward Y/N.

Luminous: You must be Y/N Astrea Hinata's Recommended Candidate and the mysterious being from one month ago.

Y/N: I'm not quite sure about the mysterious being but I am Y/N Astrea. May I know who you might be?

Luminous: I am the Goddess Luminas herself...... but you wouldn't believe that.

Y/N's eyes darts back and forth between the Demon Lord Valentine and Pope Emperor.

Y/N: Well.... That depends, do I have to forget what I have seen here?

Luminous: Not at all, I'm here to gain your favor so I'm not going to keep any major secrets that would deteriorate our future relationship.

Y/N: I see, so what is your true identity then?

Luminous: I'm Luminous Valentine, The real Demon Lord.

Y/N: Wait if you are the real Demon Lord, then those two are just your subordinates? But that would mean that *GASP* I did not see that one coming..... But I have to say, it was smart of you to manipulate humans using the cult method, works every time for unknown reasons.

Luminous smirks and nods in agreement.

Luminous: So tell me are you the one who split the region of the wasteland?

Y/N: The wasteland?

Luminous: The exam ground for the Test of Enlightenment.

Y/N: Well I'm not sure if I split it but I did swung my sword very hard.

Luminous: Oh don't worry it's definitely split in half.

She rises from her seat and walk up to Y/N, inspecting every inch of him.

Luminous: You are quite the looker aren't you?

Y/N: Oh. Well thank you my lady, you too are quite the beauty.

Luminous: You have some manners as well, I like it. Tell me Hinata where did you find this man?

Hinata who seems to be tense the entire time quickly replies to her questions.

Hinata: I met him when he caught an argument with Glenda in Bulmund Kingdom. He seems to be an otherworlder without any ability so I took him in at first.

Luminous: Well it seems that you were wrong, he is anything but helpless and weak.

Hinata: Yes.....

Luminous darted her eyes toward Hinata's tight grip on her sword. She sighs and waves away.

Luminous: If you think I'd do something stupid as executing this friend of yours don't worry, I'm not.

Hinata slowly calms down but still kept her guard up just in case.
