Tensura: Rimuru Is a Girl (Translation)

Chapter 19: Rimuru Vs Milim

I hope I still have time... My wings flap faster, shooting through the sky like a meteor. A straight line of blue-silver streaks across the sky.

I have reached the border of Yurazzania, where a strong tremor and explosions can be heard. As I arrive at the kingdom, many houses are destroyed, with the land showing signs of explosions.

I look up to see Carrion, covered in blood.

A massive energy is concentrated in one direction... I turn to look in the opposite direction from Carrion. It's Milim, who is consolidating all her mana in her mouth... Seeing how dangerous this is, I immediately dash toward Carrion.

"DRAGON NOVA!!!" The roar is deafening. A huge light with a force exceeding nuclear levels shoots toward me. The houses below are obliterated, creating a massive straight line.

I don't know if this will work or not... But...

"DEVOUR IT ALL, BEELZEBUTH!!!" A huge black circle forms in front of me, devouring all of Milim's attack with great effort.

Carrion looks at me in disbelief; it's an attack he can't withstand.

Ugh... W-what is this?...

Why am I feeling pain?

<<Report. Magical consumption level exceeds limits... Soul transfer will commence.>>

Raphael-sensei's voice is very clear in my head. Raphael creates another clone for me and transfers my soul into it.

And my previous body is shattered due to Milim's attack, which was too powerful to be absorbed.

Yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes, yikes... Are all Demon Lords this strong?... It can't be, can it? Even I had to transfer my own soul... Otherwise, I might really die.

But thanks to that, I managed to stop Milim's attack.

Then, a figure flies behind the exhausted Carrion. I quickly dash and grab their hand, surprising them with my sudden appearance.

Milim's eyes widen when she sees me here. Wait, isn't she under control?

I quickly grab the hand of the Harpy woman and throw her behind.

Still, I don't sense any hostile intent from her... Is she trying to save Carrion...?

"Carrion, are you okay?"

His breath is heavy, and he glances at me with great exhaustion. "Thank you for coming, Rimuru... But, Milim is a very troublesome opponent."

"You handle what's behind; I'll deal with Milim."

We switch places... I see Milim's eyes go blank again...

Raphael-sensei, try to detect if there is anything controlling her.

<<Initiating process>>

Alright, for now, I just need to buy time for Raphael-sensei.

"Milim, can you hear me?"

There's no answer, just silence... Carrion is struggling with the Harpy woman, and since he's exhausted, I need to quickly handle things with Milim.

"Not going to talk, huh...?" I glare at her sharply... She still looks at me blankly.

That damn Clayman... I will never forgive him.

Milim's physical strength is almost on par with Veldora, so as much as possible... I need to avoid physical contact with her. Ranged attacks are the best option.

Milim's appearance now is very different from before. She wears pitch-black armor covering her body, with sharp horns on her forehead, and a jet-black sword that I can guess is very sharp...
