Dreadful Tempest

One But Not The Same

While rimuru and the great elder are in the midst of fighting, shinshia who was carried by the white tiger suddenly stops before entering the mountain.

".....sir tiger, is papa the bad guy?"

The sudden question makes the white tiger fall into confusion

(No)

"Then, are those cultivators the bad one?"

(Yes)

Hearing the white tiger's answer, shinshia get off him and look at him with innocent eyes.

"Then, why are we running away? Shouldn't we save those villagers?"

Despite her extraordinary intelligence, shinshia still don't have any experience nor clue of how the world works.

For white tiger who is the beast, this innocent question is not something he can answer.

"Sir white tiger, you need to go home, protect the cubs, and our home."

Shinshia the immediately dissapear after leaving those words.

(Our home...huh? Sure, Inspiration Peak is our home..)

The white tiger then rush to the top of the mountain.

*

"What a mess....."

Shinshia mutter while seeing almost all of the villagers is in fear and panick, she then try to gather all of them at the safe place.

"Girl, your father....we need to save sir rimuru!"

"Little shia, don't worry, we will try our best to protect you!"

"Everyone!! We need to enter the Inspiration Peak! Make sure we don't get separated!"

Shinshia still not too sure if her doing would be of help to rimuru, but at least, she was doing something rather than running away.

'at this time, i hope mama is with us!'

As she thought so, she sense a qi attack that came very fast toward them.

Shinshia then waste no time and move to stop the attack.

"Show yourself!!"

"Even if it's still the cub, a child of a tiger is still a tiger huh?"

A beautiful figure then descended from the sky, it was Li Zhie, the daughter of Holy Spring sect master.

And a cultivators that at the peak of Foundation-Building stage.

"Very well, i could use you to threaten that senior to be with us, so don't try to struggle"

"You don't have the ability to do so..."

"Hmph! Impudent wench!"

Li zhie then take out his sword and imbued it with qi making it glow with a powerful force.

Shinshia also responding with a fighting stance and cover her whole body with reddish qi.

"Come"

With that single sentence from shinshia, li zhie rush toward her with an incredible speed.

"Your arrogant shall be your downfall!! [Ying-Yang Sword Terror]!!"

Having a powerful attack rushing to her, shinshia began to calm down by stabilizing her breathing.

She then move her palm in a circular move.

"[Taiost Dispersion Technique]"

*BOOM!!!*

*

The clash between rimuru and great elder is so great that it almost shaked the entire Hui Zhie village.

At first glance, it looks like the great elder has the upper hand on the fight, but while the great elder is giving out his all.

Rimuru is still consistently growing stronger by the seconds.

'is he predicting my move?! No....this is almost like seeing into the future!'

Great elder shout in his heart.

Each time the great elder strike, rimuru would just dodge it before he even do so. Moreover, rimuru's attack is becoming more powerful, precise and fast by the seconds!!

"[Holy Cage Palm]!!"

The great shouted while creating a barrier of qi around himself thus create a distance between rimuru and him.

'i need to end this now, or we would all be slaughtered here!'

Rimuru who expresionless since the fight begin, just stand up asbif nothing ever happen

The great elder gritted his teeth in frustration seeing rimuru, he resplved to end this all with his next attack.

"The river flow, brought all life to the realm, who are you to stand againts the current? Know your place and be crushed!!"

As the great elder recites his poem, his qi gathers on his palm and it's several times more stronger than before.

In response to that, rimuru take out his sword and ready a stance.

<<Inspiration Peak filled with overflowing grace, The Heaven and Earth's blessed to all the creatures in it, The Inspiration Peak stand at the peak of world and i'm stand at the top of it.....>>

The weather began to change, the sky lost all of it sunlight, only the remaining grim and dark sky together with rimuru's overflowing purple qi can be seen.

<<Do you think you are qualified enough to deal with a God amongst Gods?>>

The great elder couldn't help but shudder at rimuru's poem. The poem is a way of cultivators life, and such a narcicistic poem show what kind of being rimuru's truly are.

The proud and arrogant person who believes he is unmatched under the heavens.

That's what rimuru is.

"Die!! [Five Elements of Divine Grace Palm] !!!"
