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

CH-98

Rimuru's POV

"Diablo. Anyone noteworthy?" I ask Diablo.
"No. There was no one worth your time. But there was this insect that could be considered a bit stronger than the rest."
"By any chance was his name Feldway?" I ask.
"Hai. He is sort of an old acquaintance."
"Is that so? Tell me more about him."
"Hai. Just like the Demon Lord Dino, he is also a primordial angel. You could say that he is the leader of the Primordial Angels."

"I see. Speaking of Dino, where is he?"
"I am sorry, but i am not aware of his location. But I expect him to be in the labyrinth."
"That's fine."

<Individual Dino is currently in the Empire, approximate 7500km from here.>

Why is he there? Don't tell me.

<Affirmative. It appears that he betrayed Master.>

For God's sake. Why now of all times? What did he even gain from this? Whatever. Let's get a final check done, before declaring this war over.

I look around and see that the battle is more or less over on all the fronts.

What about Velgrynd, Ciel?
<Don't worry Master. I will be sure to educate her. Currently she refuses to submit and accept the fact that she has been defeated.>

*Sigh*

I quickly enter my stomach to meet Velgrynd. I see her standing on the complete void, with a hole in her abdomen. Looks like she didn't heal. Or rather she cannot, after all i control everything in my stomach.

"So? What's your problem? Why don't you just admit your defeat?"
"Like hell i can. If I am defeated, then ther eis no way I can save him."
"Him? Are you talking about Rudra?"
"Yes."
"Now that i think about it what happened to him?"
"His soul was unable to stand the pressure of having an Ultimate skill that doesn't belong to him. Especially a skill as strong as Michael which belonged to elder brother."
"So his soul shattered?"
"Yes." She said in a dejected tone.
"How does staying with Michael help you at all?"
"He wanted to revive elder brother. If he revives, then i am sure he could do something."

Ciel, can we do something?
<It might be possible by evolving her Ultimate Skill. But to do so, I would need permission to upgrade Master's skill as well.>

Yep. Do whatever you want. There is no stopping you once you want something. You will find one way or another anyway.
<Understood.>

"Well, what if I tell you, you can do something about this?"
"Huh?"
"I will evolve your Ultimate Skill. If you really truly desire to meet him, then your skill automatically evolve to help you."
"There is no way you can do that."
"Whether i can do it or not is not your problem. It's not like you have another choice."
"Fine. If you really do help me, I will do whatever I can to help you. Till the time it wouldn't go against Rudra's wish."
"Well that makes things easier."

Ciel.
<Understood. Fusing remnants of Ultimate Skill «Covenant King Uriel» with Ultimate Skill «Charity King Raguel» to evolve into Ultimate Skill «Flame God Cthugha» successful.>

"Wh-what? How? No. I will not ask any questions. Thanks Rimuru."
"Thank me after you fulfill your wishes."
"Ya. I can feel his soul. It's thanks to you."
"Whatever. Don't forget your end of the deal."
"Of course."

<Master really is kind, no matter how much you try to hide it.>
What are you saying? Having her would be a great benefit.
<Let's leave it at that.>

Later that night....

A lot has happened but most of the things have calmed down. The city is now outside of the labyrinth. The entire city is enjoying a festival. But that doesn't mean I was free. I was getting a report about what had happened in the labyrinth while I was fighting.
