Having absorbed Velgrynd, the reconstruction began.
And then, leaving a busily working on something Raphael-san alone, I teleported onto the lone floating Airship.
It had already reached it’s maximum speed, cruising at speeds beyond that of sound.
Although I could catch up, there’s also the issue with the “Rat”.
I thought it best to deal with problems swiftly.
Considering the fierce battle that had just taken place aboard this vessel, it’s a miracle it could still fly in its sorry state.
The Demons who had made it in before me had knelt down, welcoming me.
Any remnants of battle couldn’t be seen at a glance. The damages sustained had been beautifully healed, showing their usual, beautiful splendor.
However, looking through a highly proficient appraising eye, Their Power(Existance level) had undergone great change.
Perhaps an after-effect of completing a forced evolution, the slight magic turbulence they had was now in perfect control.
It would seem that they understood something from this battle. This is a good thing.
Above all everyone’s all right, I felt relieved.
「Good work! It’s great that everyone’s all right.」
「My word! We’re unworthy of such words.
We, as commanded by Rimuru sama, have survived and acquired strength!」
The demons that brought up these words bowed their heads in unison.
Eh? Although I did say don’t die, I didn’t tell them to survive to the very edge though?
To survive and become stronger, what are they, some battle race?!
I was shocked that they thought of me as a master who would give that kind of ridiculous command.
「Ah, Yeah. In any case, above all, I’m glad you’re all safe……」
The Demons looked happy from receiving my compliments.
Oh well, whatever.
I should probably pay more attention from here on out, but we were in fact currently in an emergency situation. I decided to reflect on it later.
I changed my mindset, and proceeded to confirmed the situation.
「What’s the current situation of the “Rat”?」
「Kufufufufu. It seems the “Rat” has just arrived at the transfer device.」
Hmm.
If I wanted to stop it, now would be the time.
I considered killing the “Rat” then and there, and extracting his memory.
However, individuals surpassing A rank have high resistances, and taking memories protected by the soul seemed difficult.
And as for those in possession of Ultimate Skills, it’d fail without a doubt.
The “Rat” had only been sneaking around, but according to Diablo a strong power was sensed from it.
This was evident from the fact he managed to steal a portion of Military Uniform’s abilities. (EN: refers to Kondo. Rimuru refers to him as this.)
