Perfected Tempest

62. Veldora to the Rescue

                              Rimuru's POV

After talking to Veldora and getting him to bring the others to this location, I think it's time we educated these fools on the true strength of Tempest, our ridiculously fast growth rates. They came prepared for the biggest threat being me and the primordial demons, they didn't even think Veldora was actually allies with me nor Milim. This must be what it feels like to completely prank a new hire on his to do a job the first time. Yuki helped to get them misinformed and he asked to take the skill of Maribell for himself which I agreed to. Him getting an ultimate skill will aid the country greatly in the future if we need to take a skill from a criminal. Sure I could do it but I asked him to do it instead since having the ruler of the nation personally punishing a criminal to some may feel like a gift more than a punishment. I also told Yuki how he can turn himself into a saint with his skill whenever he wishes too. The empire and Granbell might not know it yet but if they don't throw everything they have now Tempest will surpass and eclipse their strength completely. Of course that's if you're only counting Tempest as the ones currently under me. Coming out of a gate near me a beautiful vampire comes out with her two aids. All of them bow to me in respect and turn to speak to Granbell and his lackeys.

Luminous- "You would dare to go against my will Granbell! I guess I need to educate you on just who you have crossed this day then."

Granbell- "Luminous?! What are you doing here?"

3 of the Luminary's- "Goddess?"

Luminous- "And all of you as well." She said pointing to the luminary's currently there. "You will also be punished as well. You have chosen to attack the one considered the highest gif in our religion and for that you will suffer greatly."

Luminary's- "No, please lady Luminous forgive us please!" They say as they grovel on the ground in fear."

Rimuru- "Good to see you Luminous. I hope my call to you didn't interrupt anything important of yours."

Luminous- "Wha- What more important than you are my lord? There can be no such thing that I know of." (I can't tell him that I was in my private room thinking of him. What would he think of me if he knew. I didn't even realize it had been that long since I had spoken to Hinata about my beloved. I shall show him my good side so he'll ask me to grant my reward I desire most.)

Rimuru- "I see, well you think you can handle Granbell for me then. I wish to capture him alive if possible, but if you can't I will settle for just his soul. I can put that to use for myself after all. I'll have Hinata and Shizu help you with that task as well?"

Luminous- "Of course my beloved lord. Beating this welp for you shall be a simple task to do. I will even give you the souls of the other traitors as well."

Granbell- "To underestimate me and the others so much. Your overconfidence in your own strength shall be your downfall void dragon. I will not fail to remove you from this world for humanity's sake. None of us will stop until you are defeated or banished from this world!"

After he said that I could hear some of the humans nearby talking to each other.

Crusader- "What is he talking about? Do you know anything?"

Crusader 2- "No, nothing at all. Maybe that is why captain Hinata chose to go alone to fight."

Crusader- "Maybe, or she really was working with the demon lord. But then why is even our goddess going against us in this battle on the enemy's side?"

Crusader 2- "Hmm, I'm not sure but we shall soon gain more information on what is truly going on soon enough. All we need to do is sit and watch the battle that's about to happen." After he said that the others all nodded in agreement.
