Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 55

I watched as Benimaru, Souei, Shion, Ranga, Soru, Haku, the other Kijins and the Goblin riders got their asses handed to them.

"Wahahaha! You suck! You're so weak, my sneeze can blow you all away!" Milim exclaimed boldly.

Everyone had a mock battle with her, one versus all, but that didn't go over well.

And she's even using her dragon knuckles. It then dawned on me to make sure that Milim always wear them during practice.

She's so strong that dueling her one on one is out of the question. So, we decided on this one versus all.

Compared to them, Milim has ridiculous power, cheat-like abilities and bottomless stamina. So it is a pretty good training session for them.

I would occasionally join to tortu......I mean spar with them, though I heal them completely afterwards.

Due to this, everyone has showed considerable growth in their skill, magic, art and technique proficiency.

All those who could fight and were in the military were obligated to join in this training session, no one was excused.

Gabiru and Geld who had other jobs to do, compared to the others also joined when they had time. Because of their tight schedule, their training was always the hardest so they wouldn't be left behind. Aren't I considerate?

Hakurou also spars with us. unfortunately, his attacks don't work on us. However he can put up a fight thanks to his arts and techniques he learnt over the years, which is impressive in itself.

Thus thrice a day. As a result, they've all gotten much stronger compared to two weeks ago.

And I intend on increasing the difficulty of the sessions as time goes by. That way, they won't have their growth stunted.

On a side note, I once heard Veldora asking Milim for a spar. My heart almost leapt out of my mouth. A spar between them, even if they were holding back would kill every living thing in town. I was quick to stop them before they did something stupid.

"Do you two have any idea what kind of destruction you're about to unleash?" I said.

"Oh come on Rimuru, loosen up. We weren't taking things seriously. I'm not sure about Milim, but I know how to hold back. It's just to see how far...."

"No way!" I interrupted Veldora "I don't care what you say, but you two aren't going to spar here. You can take it elsewhere."

"Oi I know how to hold back. Let me show you......." Milim protested.

It took hours to convince them to postpone the spar. In return, I promised I would have spar with them as well as give them sweets.

As long as a crisis was averted, I didn't mind those conditions.

--------------------------------

I was carrying out some of my duties as the ruler of Tempest, when a messenger ran up to me and said that Gobta had brought along a group of humans, three of them were Eren, Kabal and Gido, but the rest of them were visiting Tempest for the first time. One of them had also requested a meeting with the leader of Tempest, me.

I was hesitant at first, but went to the meeting hall in which they were waiting anyways.

With me were Shuna, Rigurd, Benimaru, Shion, Soei and Soru. I had reminded them to keep my true identity a secret.

Once we arrived in the meeting room, we were briefed about Gobta's meeting with them, as well as introductions.

Apart from the three we already knew, the others were Fuze, who is the Guildmaster of the Free guild's Blumund branch and Youm.
