THE BLESSING OF THE VOID

Finest knight WHO?

Julius and rimuru went to the arena ready to duel each other while reinhard and felix were trying their best to calm the situation down however neither side decided to back off reinhard was specially worried about julius since he couldn't exactly figure out how strong rimuru is .

Reinhard: ( hmm, this is real bad it can permanently damage their relationship as well as causing problems between the emilia camp and anestasia camp ) rimuru julius it's not too late we all should just settle this with words theirs no need to fight each other with real swords .

Julius: reinhard this arrogant man has not only disrespected the council members but our brave knights as well i simply cannot allow him to get away with it without any consequences.

Rimuru: ( oh boy! This lil fella really thinks he has a chance. if i have to evaluate him in terms of skills he is not bad , he is stronger than the pre awakened elsa , and near the level of Wilheim astrea the sword demon , i think he might be good for a warm up 🥱) yeah! yeah ! We'll see soon enough.

As soon as they entered the arena cheers could be heard for julius and people were insulting rimuru by saying things like show him his place , and beat him to death rimuru taught of what would happen to them if shion diablo or members of from tempest were to be present here it would be a massacre without a doubt even he wasn't sure if he could stop them they would probably counter by saying something like nobody should be allowed to disrespect their god and they might even purge this nation or if situation really got out of hand they might destroy the world Rimuru sighed from relief 😮‍💨 and got to his position in arena ready to face off against the finest knight.

Julius: are you prepared to face what's coming!
If you want to give up you should run away, nobody here actually thinks you're a knight so it wouldn't matter if you turned out to be a coward although i would feel really bad for emilia sama .

Rimuru : ( i should get him more riled up so when i beat the shit out of him the only thing he feels is despair ) haha! haha ! Is that your pathetic attempt to scare me or something , if yes then it's really not working all you're doing is making yourself look more like an idiot. But i guess i shouldn't expect much from a knight who serves a merchant all they're good at is either hypocritical lies or sucking up to others , hmmm i wonder if you'll start acting like a dog if i threw some coins here😏🗿

Julius, reinhard, and felix were all shocked by Rimuru reply he didn't just disrespect julius but he also insulted his master the lady he serves this truly made julius angry and reinhard and felix now knew that there's no point in stopping it

Julius: now you've done it you arrogant bastard ,how dare you disrespect lady anestasia for this impudence i will kill you and reclaim her honour. ( Julius said with a high amount of killing intent )

Rimuru: ( it's so easy triggering idiots ! Getting riled up by something like this you'll look more pathetic when you eat the dirt ) sure sure whatever suits you try your best killing me , oh and don't worry I won't try to kill you do you want me to give anymore handicaps .

Julius : ha i knew it you're already making excuses like this since you know you can't win .

Rimuru : ohh it's not an excuse ,[ his voice suddenly turned emotionless ] it's just that you're so insignificant that it wouldn't matter if i kill you or not. [Rimuru said with a cold look on his face ]

Julius now very angry rushed at rimuru with the intent to kill his sword drawn heading straight for rimuru's neck ready to slice it in half whereas rimuru stayed calm with a smug smile on his face he didn't even take out his sword out of it's sheath , julius shouted while drawing his sword closer to rimuru's neck .

Julius : blame your own arrogance for your death .

Just as the sword was about to touch rimuru's neck it stopped completely and a clicking sound ran through the entire arena , everything went completely silent in anticipation of the result of julius's attack however what happened next shook them to the core .
