That time I failed as an Author and got reincarnated in Tensura

Chapter 84: Unfathomable Evolution

3rd Pov

War is such a cruel concept, it all began with the subject of greed...negative emotion of a group of individuals can directly affect the mass.

Ambition of one man can ruin the life of millions...this is the cold reality of war, those bound to die will perish.

Those destined to live will survive, and finally those chosen by fate will shine and rip off fortune.

It is natural for the common folk to suffer their leader's decision...it's simply a reality people had come to naturally accept.

And in a place like the cardinal world, only those who possess power and skills can turn the balance of fate toward their favor.

Rimuru watched coldly as the Lord of Gluttony : Belzebuth manifested under the palm of his hand...the target of his aim being the newly awakened Mad Titan.

Ciel : (Percentage of absorption success, 5%)

Rimuru : (5 %? It's more than I thought...)

But as it was originally expected, Ashura easily broke through the layer of Belzebuth...his arm seemed to be tearing space itself.

An enraged roar shook the land afterward as Ashura now directed his full focus on Rimuru.

Rimuru : What a monstrous raw power...he isn't inferior to Veldora for sure.

Ashura : So you are that damn slime...your vision of the world is the exact opposite of mine, I'll crush you.

His voice resonated oddly, 3 different tones seemed to be overlapping despite only one head talking.

Rimuru : That'll only happen if you weren't all bark.

Bringing out the sword of Tempest, Rimuru didn't hesitate to taunt him...the short previous clash between Ashura's raw strength and Belzebuth.

Ciel had enabled a quick analysis of the current situation, Rimuru has the edge against the mad titan ...this was her conclusion and Rimuru had no reason to doubt her calculation.

Ashura : You...

Raising his overly large body, a foot mark was integrated into the ground as he leaped upward.

Four of his arms immediately tried to seize Rimuru, moving at an unimaginable speed compared to his body size.

Rimuru reacted calmly, blocking the two arms on his left with his sword while kicking away the left side.

Using one of those arms as a support, he effectively landed a front kick right under the titan's chin.

The blow dealt minor damage but enough for the slime to get away creating a shared amount of distance to start relying on magic.

Rimuru : (Ciel !)

Ciel : (Yes, activation of [Unlimited Imprisonment].)

A crystalline formation surrounded Ashura, he had already woken up from his stun and tried to get out of the way.

But the Lord of Vows's ability, particularly on Rimuru's variant, were instantaneous due to Ciel's control.

Chain immediately found Ashura and sealed his movement, even so the Mad Titan's rampage threatened the prison to collapse.

Something even Velgrynd wasn't able to manage when she was sealed...

Ciel : (Estimation before the collapse of the seal, 11 seconds.)

Rimuru : It's enough time.

Among the countless abilities he had harvested over the past few years, not many could actually harm the likes of Ashura.
