That time I got reincarnated as a slime,no, a DRAGON?

CH-43

3rd person POV

Glenda Attley, An otherworlder who was summoned to this world. She is an ex-mercenary and had never failed a mission, except once. She was summoned along with her gun, which had now become a part of herself that it didn't even need maintenance. While being summoned, she gained the unique skill《Sniper》 which had 3 major uses.

First was magic sensed. It was turned beyond what a normal person could hope to achieve. Secondly it allowed the user to completely understand the movement and thinking pattern of another person and thirdly space manipulation which allowed her to connect any teo points in space, regardless of the distance and things between them.

Glenda's POV

After that last blunder, I really have to prove myself, or else they will kill me. Those monsters are not meant to be fought. I use my magic sense to see what is going on. I quickly find my target and take aim. As soon as I have aimed, I pull the trigger. 18 inches. That is the gap the bullet will appear in after exiting the portal. Those monsters might be able to dodge it, but there is no way a mere prince can.

The bullet passes through the portal and just before it could reach the prince, it..... Dissapeared?! How!? I quickly look at the other people in the room. That is! No way. What is that monster doing there? And she is standing behind him. So he is demon lord Rimuru? They didn't tell me about this. There is no way I can do this when they are there.

I quickly turn around and try to run when I see someone in the way. A child? What is he doing here? A witness is a witness. I must kill him if I don't want to get caught. I am sorry, whoever you are. I quickly aim my gun and fire at him but the bullet just stops before hitting him. What? How? Why now?

"Do you attack everyone you see?"
"I can't leave any witnesses, can I?"
"Well that is true. For us spies, it is important to leave no evidence behind."

So he is also a spy. That would explain his skills.

"You are lucky. Rimuru-sama told me not to kill you."
"Isn't that worse?" I say sarcastically, to which he doesn't reply. I quickly fire more bullets at him, but they just get stopped. Tch. If they atleast made contact, I could have used my magic bullets. I quickly took out the grenade and dropped it. He looks confused.

*Boom*

It exploded. I shot a few magic bullets at him, quickly turned around and ran. I didn't even bother to check if he was alive or not. Just as I thought I was safe, I felt my feet tangle in something and fell. Then a lot of strings covered me and caught me. Looks like this really is the end of me. What a shitty life I had. Forced to kill people and whatnot. Well, atleast it will end now.

Meanwhile...

In a room, Johann, Yuuki and Maribell could be seen.
"Looks like Gaban really got the short end of the stick."
"Well, everything is till according to the plan. Now I have more information on those Inquisitors."
"Plan?"
"Yes. Now I know that those Inquisitors are nothing more than humans who were fused with monster force to become magic born."
"I see."
"But they are worthless, at the end. They might be strong, but at the end they lose their sanity when they go at full force. So they are only disposable pawns. But, they can be used in many ways. So they have some worth, I guess."
"So how about pitting them against the demon lord?"
"That won't work. Inquisitors are strong. But that is all. In form of the demon lord, they won't stand a chance."
"Then shouldn't we join the demon lord? "
"No. Rather, we should do anything to eliminate him. He has a staggering amount of war potential. Think what will happen if he were to negotiate with someone."

Only now did Johann realize the truth. Till now, not even superpowers such as Ingrassia or Falmuth could have made an enemy of every nation in the council. Tempest meanwhile had enough military to do so. Now they only had to apply pressure, either economically or through their military.

Just when this truth sank in, they received a message. It stated, 'Glenda has failed and been caught.' This caught both Maribell and Johann by surprise. They knew that she had failed but they had never expected her to be caught.

"Tch. We have to deal with him right now. Yuuki, you are going to those ruins with him right?"
"Yes. But I suggest not to do anything. Demon lord Milim will be there as well." Yuuki, who had been silent till now said.
"Don't worry. You can use this." She said giving a core to him.

"Infuse this with mana over the ruins and it will reawaken the true body."

"I see. Then demon lord Milim will deal with this and we can seperate them."
"That is right. Then I will take over his mind."
"But that might cause a lot of damage to nearby surroundings. Also, what if the Storm dragon Veldora goes on a rampage due to this." Johann argued to prevent damage to humanity.
"So what? That much is acceptable."

Due to Granbell, she knew a lot about the demon lord. She knew that they would surely deal with Veldora if he decided to destroy humanity. Taking some loss for that was much better than letting Demon lord Rimuru do whatever he wanted.

Rimuru's POV

The meeting is finally over. I submitted all the ledgers I had. They will surely be investigated by their home country and removed from their position. They had this coming. We finally went back to Tempest. I have to say that nothing feels like home.

"Well, I am glad you two got angry before me, or else I don't know how many of them would have survived." I said sipping my coffee.

"I didn't get angry. They were being rude so I just educated them a bit."
"That is correct, Rimuru-sama, I was only reminding them of noble etiquette they ought to follow." Both Shuna and Hinata said in a sync.
"I-I see."

Having two beautiful women stare at you with that smile is definitely not good. I can't anger them at any cost. Suddenly Moss came and informed me.

"Rimuru-sama, I have caught the intruder. She didn't reveal anything, and compared to humans she was quite strong. But she referred to you as the boss of those devils."
"I see. Most probably referring to you I guess?" I said looking at Testarossa.
"It might be Rimuru-sama."
"Who was she? Even if she didn't reveal it, I am sure we have data of anyone who might be strong enough to do this."
"About that Rimuru-sama, she is Glenda, from the Three Martial Sages."

Hearing her name Hinata flinched.
"Alright. I will go talk to her. Coming Hinata? This might concern you as well."
"Ya. I had my suspicions around her but to think she would do something like this."
We then head towards the inn to meet with the captive.
"*sigh* I had told her not to do these idiotic things so many times."
"Well, it is more than possible that she is being threatened."
"That is a possibility, but the chances are low."
"True."
