Chapter 42: Rimuru's Greatest Sin

[The stigma 'Gluttony Lvl.4' has leveled up to 'Gluttony Lvl.5']

Rimuru felt numb consuming Souie's dead body. It feed to his undying hunger, but it never gave him the satisfaction.

It wasn't satisfying at all.

His eyes could only stare at the kijin as he was slowly being swallowed by the black vortex. His body crumbling to small fragments like ashes before Rimuru devoured him entirely.

'Rest within me..'

Rimuru wistfully thought.

The mask was excellent hiding his sorrow. However, if someone saw him right now, the mask would be pointless.

No matter how he hides it, no one would be dumb enough to not notice.

Despite the mournful moment, Rimuru felt a candle of warm inside. One that he was very familiar with. The sensation of having his comrade again.

It felt like Souie was in his shadows, guarding him like a certain wolf does.

Rimuru stepped towards Yoo Sangah's unconscious body and examined the scars and injuries she had. Visible line marks around her neck and limbs were reddening, and Rimuru shivered at the thought of what could've happened if he was delayed for a second.

{Analysis complete.. Healing Magic has been re-acquired.} Great Sage's voice echoed in his mind.

The masked incarnation extended his hand to the woman, and just in a second, the marks and injuries disappeared. Rimuru carried her to a nearby tree and placed a barrier around her.

"Now, no one will hurt you."

Rimuru stared at Sangah's soft complexion before bidding farewell.

{Notice. The Legion summoned by the Disaster of Storms have noticed your consumption of the individual 'Souie'.}

Great Sage informed as Rimuru unsheated his sword.

{Alert. Every monster binded by the Disaster of Storms has been re-summoned to the island to eliminate Master.}

The Storm Legion, along with their master, the Disaster of Storms, noticed Souie's sudden disappearance. In his final moment, the Disaster witnessed his end through his eyes.

The Disaster felt threatened by instinct. Rimuru's presence and show of power triggered their never ending hunger. In just seconds, the Disaster commanded the [Storm Legion] to go back to the island and attack Rimuru.

Gabiru who was gripping Shin Yoosung threw her away and rushed to the island. The same goes for Geld, Hakorou, Shion, Benimaru and Shuna.

They abandoned their fight and rushed into the scene where Rimuru was currently present.

However, Han Rimuru anticipated this.

{Plan is currently 50% successful.}

'Thanks, Great Sage.'

He walked towards the center of the island where the Disaster was standing by itself. It's ugly and horrible appearance symbolized the monstrous part of himself.

One that he have to embrace.

"Just wait for your turn. It will be you who's going to be eaten next."

RAGGH!!!!

Rimuru's words taunted the Disaster, as if it was a sentient being who could understand. With a loud howl from it's wide mouth, the army of monsters appeared.

Hakorou appeared behind Rimuru, his sword almost an inch from his neck, to decapitate him.

Rimuru ducked and faced the white kijin, and as he smiled behind his mask, he thrusted his sword on his chest.
