Veldanava, the god of all universes and creation, realized many human thoughts and minds after the loss of many lives by an attack of Ivarage on the mortal realm. That included his best friend, Satoru Mikami's life too.
Struck by such great loss, th...
Leaping from wall to wall, Rimuru evaded all the inbounding magic as he clashed with Velzard, the mouthguard chomped and demolished her defenses of Ice easily.
Defending herself, she summoned her lance and struck it towards the ferocious god, who used his enhanced limbs to block it and deliver a hard blow to her stomach. Combined with a quick down slam, knocking the true dragon into the ground.
"Is that all?" He said, teleporting as he appeared at the unsuspecting Morgan's back in a spook.
"Come on, come on!"
As he was about to grab her arm, a blue orb stopped him and gave the witch a bare second to escape his grasp from her back.
Chopping the orb into half, Rimuru soon noticed a dozen more of them revolving around Morgan, serving as her defense against surprise attacks whenever she is occupied with something else.
'Nice try for a watch over unsuspecting elements.' The god thought but soon sprinted towards her while concentrating a new wave of energy blasts in his fanged mouthguard, narrowly avoiding the efforts from both Velzard and Morgan to slow him down as he leaped around.
Sending a strong energy blast, the strong impact shook Velzard and Morgan as they barely escaped its radius of effect.
Mixing energies in the mouthguard for various reactions, Rimuru released black mists that clouded detection and visuals, which he used to his advantage as he steadily approached Velzard at her back.
Mixing his hands in paralyzing smoke, he slowly reached to cover her mouth and immobilize her temporarily.
But as he is about to succeed, an impending strike from the returned Artoria halts and causes him to retreat in defense, losing the opportunity of another surprise attempt.
"How did you...?"
He asked, now hiding at the other corner in the hidden mist.
"Dumb luck?"
She replied with a mischievous tone, swinging the now-darkened sword in her hands.
"When I woke up from that slam, the mists hadn't reached my position yet, so I used Excalibur to form a protective barrier that negates the blinding effects on my senses."
"My tricks?"
"You taught me well, isn't that some good news?"
"Well..."
His voice faded in the mists as he began his attack again, causing Artoria to be on guard once more. Now prioritizing gathering with her sister and Velzard within the fog, she dashed around in search of their whereabouts.
As she continued, she could hear vague noises of weapons clashing. Immediately heading toward the location, she found a bruised Velzard battling against Rimuru, with the former on the defensive.
"Velzard!"
"Artoria?!"
Sending out a crimson slash, Artoria interrupted Rimuru once more as she charged in and clashed with his mouthguard, giving Velzard a chance to step back and recover.
"You catch on rather quick!" Rimuru laughed, chomping on the Excalibur and delivering a strong kick at Artoria, sending her back.
"Tch!"
Charging again, she increased the output of Excalibur as she slashed Rimuru across the air, the latter blocking the rapid strikes steadily and taunting the knight.
"Unleash the weapon, and your alter form's inner strength, I know it has much more than this!"
"Ha!"
Unleashing a wave of red lightning that pushed Rimuru back several steps, Artoria channeled a sufficient amount of anger and aggression into herself and her weapon, releasing a stronger wave of pressure that finally made Rimuru satisfied.
