That Time I Got Reencarnated as a Demon Lord (English)

30 - Darkness

My vision went black for a second, or would that be better defined as my vision turning red? I felt like I was an angry bull, and everything around was red. Everything was my target.

Despite that, there was only Ifrit here for me to vent my anger... For me to destroy...

<<Warning! Individual Rimuru Tempest is trying to evolve into Mega Slime! Trying . . . . . . Error! Cannot evolve into Mega Slime!>>

Have I ignored the words of the Sage, or is it the voice of the world speaking? I don't mind a bit now, but I think I'd better figure out the difference between the two later.

And, while I was thinking about that, I shot my own body towards Ifrit.

At first the Spirit of Flames stayed where he was, perhaps thinking he didn't have to fear a physical duel against a slime.

But he thought wrong.

As soon as my body made contact with Ifrit my {Battle Spirit} triggered and a huge explosion was created from the contact between my body and his body, throwing Ifrit to the ground with an absurd force. Stunned for a second, Ifrit looked at me, purest confusion expressed in his eyes.

Big mistake.

Gluing one end of the [Sticky Spider Thread] to the ground, I propelled my body back towards the ground with full force. Ifrit, who wasn't expecting this, only had a second to dodge, but even if he was able to avoid the main impact, the explosion still sent Ifrit flying.

<<Warning! Individual Rimuru Tempest is trying to evolve into Mega Slime! Trying . . . . . . Error! Cannot evolve into Mega Slime!>>

I ignored the Sage, and this time I got a little annoyed with her. Doesn't she see that I'm in the middle of a battle here! I have to kill that bastard Ifrit and get Shizu back!!!

<< . . . >>

Not caring about the consequences of what might happen, I turned off the Sage's alerts. I had serious things to do, and she was getting in my way by announcing a fact that doesn't have the slightest importance.

Turning my attention to Ifrit, who, seeing that I was about to attack, tried to open the distance between us with his flight, I prepared to catch him. Ifrit will suffer no little at my hands, that's something I promise you Ramírez! I will kill all of yours!!

As I prepared to attack Ifrit once more, a question popped into my thoughts.

Who is Ramirez? Why would I want to... make her pay?

That moment of distraction was enough, Ifrit immediately created one more attack and launched it at me, a ball of concentrated flames, just like before.

I prepared myself to take the attack, just like before, and then I would-

<<Dodge!!!>>

Following Sage's prompt, I jumped up and with all my strength dodged the ball of condensed flames. As soon as the ball of flames touched the ground where I had been just a few seconds ago, unlike the things I expected to happen, the sphere of fire dispersed at absurd speed, creating a shock wave that swept dozens of meters around.

Even I, who had dodged the attack for a good distance, felt how the shock wave passed through me and dealt me ​​a small amount of damage, on top of my [Physical Attack Resistance].

After all, what just happened??

<<Warning! Fire spirit magic was just fused with explosion magic, which created new magic. The heat power was reduced, but the explosions were even more intensified!! It is recommended to evade all enemy attacks!!>>
