    Sorry for the wait guys~

    Time Accelerated


    Inside the stopped time,


    three people were facing each other in a three-way standoff.


    Guy


    ’


    s sword flickered


    but was repelled by Chloe


    ’


    s katana.


    Chloe then sent out a


    slash with a flowing movement which was repelled by the ice wall that appeared


    in front of Velzard.


    The ice wall broke and


    burst, becoming bullets of ice which poured over Guy and Chloe, but the two


    people ward all of them off with the weapons they hold in their hands


    without  difficulty.


    Neither strategy nor


    psychological warfare had any meaning, it


    ’


    s a world ruled by absolute power.


    In that situation, the


    three demonstrated their power, no one conceded even for one step.


    It was a contest of


    equal balance.


    ‘Well, what should I


    do?’


    Guy thought.


    Even in the world where


    the time stopped, Chloe could move calmly.


    In a world where normal


    eyesight didn’t have any meaning as even the light particles have stopped.


    In this world where time


    stopped, the reactions from the energy released is used to perceive the


    situation.


    Whether it’s Heroes or


    Devils, since they were bound by the world’s rule, it’s impossible for them to


    act.


    However, Chloe had


    transcended that restriction.


    In other words


    ――


    (This person, was a


    spiritual lifeform too, that’s it)


    It meant this.


    Even in the lowest


    level, she should had become a Demi God.


    A person who reached the


    domain of God while being in a mortal body.


    But, in this case, it’s


    convenient. As even Guy would withdraw from fighting against Velzard while


    protecting Chloe who couldn’t move.


    Afterall, inside the


    world where time stopped, even defensive power became zero.


    Explaining it easily,


    all of the connections between the inherent energy that a substance has became


    cut off.


    In other words, the motion


    of all substances stops. Everything even the link between substances and


    molecular motion.


    Because it was stopped,


    when an external force is applied, it will collapse easily.


    Even if it


    ’


    s a lump of


    steel, even if it


    ’


    s the worlds hardest material, it can be destroyed even by the impact of


    a gentle breeze.


    Of course, the same


    applied even to superior arms. If it


    ’


    s lower than Legend class, they have no


    meaning.


    Defending a target in


    such a state, the difficulty is too high even for Guy.


    Fortunately, Chloe doesn


    ’


    t seem to have


    any problem in the stopped world. It


    ’


    s dangerous to think so even though she


    ’


    s an enemy, but


    in this case he appreciated it.


    He put his worry for


    Chloe aside for the time being.


    The current problem was


    what he should do in this situation.


    Stopping Velzard


    ’


    s rampage, and


    defeating Velda. Those became his ultimate goal.


    His fight with Chloe is


    an act, Guy


    ’


    s main purpose is to get out from this place. But it


    ’


    s impossible for


    Chloe to ignore Guy due to the effect of the curse.


    A very troublesome


    situation.


    Even so, for Guy


    fighting against two people at the same time is not impossible.


    After all, Guy


    ’


    s ability that


    is


    Ultimate Skill


    『


    Prideful Lord Lucider


    』


    is the strongest


    ability.


    The essence of this


    ability is complete replication of ability that he saw once.


    It


    ’


    s one of the


    reasons why Guy was expecting that birth of the other Demon Lords


    ’


    skill.


    In order for him to be


    the strongest being, he observe various Ultimate Skill and taking them as his.


    In order words, as Guy


    is analyzing Chloe and Velzard


    ’


    s ability, it


    ’


    s not impossible


    for him to nullify them.


    However, for that


    ――


    (First of all, they didn


    ’


    t use their


    ability.


    I know Velzard


    ’


    s


    『


    Patience Lord Gabriel


    』


    , but what kind


    of ability is


    『


    Envious Lord Leviathan


    』


    ?


    Beside, that Chloe girl


    ――


    Rimuru gave a


    high praise for her, yet she has only shown her swordsmanship till now……)


    ――that’s right, it’s


    important for him to see the ability of the two to analyze it.


    Even so Guy believed in


    his own strength.


    He faced the two while


    getting fed up without being careless.


    ‘Ara, it’s a bother.’


    Velzard felt


    unpleasantness as Chloe was able to move in the stopped time like it’s natural.


    She intended to stop the


    time, get rid of Chloe and enjoy a fight with Guy in this world with just the


    two of them.


    And yet, Chloe whom she


    looked down upon as an inferior human was able to act in the stopped world


    where only those who had transcend as supreme being can exist in it,  it’s an unexpected event for Velzard.


    Moreover, Chloe was able


    to fight her and Guy evenly, it became a very unpleasant situation.


    (Despite being an


    awakened Hero, she’s more than I expected.)


    Velzard stopped looking


    down on Chloe.


    She recognized her as an


    enemy which she should defeat.


    In the first place, Guy


    was strong.


    Even if Velzard tried to


    defeat him seriously, she knew that victory would be extremely difficult.


    Guy could understand the


    essence of an ability from just a glimpse with his gifted observation eyes.


    Therefore, all of


    Velzard’s abilities were naturally exposed, it would be impossible to win if


    she only depends on Ultimate Skill


    『


    Patience Lord


    Gabriel


    』


    .


    But


    ――


    Right now, she had


    obtained Ultimate Skill


    『


    Envious Lord Leviathan


    』


    , she able to see the victory.


    In that case, she


    concluded that she need to postpone the elimination of the obstacle that


    ’


    s Chloe.


    If she exposed her


    skills poorly, her chance for victory might disappear.


    She postponed the


    elimination, but, it


    ’


    s troublesome if she


    ’


    s disturbed.


    She thought so, and


    released an ability towards Chloe.


    It


    ’


    s necessary to


    use


    『


    Envious Lord Leviathan


    』


    to deal the finishing blow without it being known by Guy. Therefore,


    she was using


    『


    Patience Lord Gabriel


    』


    right now.


    『


    Patience Lord Gabriel


    』


    ’


    s ability is


    absolute defense power. Its essence is


    『


    Fixation


    』


    .


    With inherent ability to


    stop things, it was a very compatible ability with her.


    Freezing the moisture in


    the atmosphere, creating an ice wall is also its ability.


    It was possible even if


    she didn


    ’


    t freeze only the water molecules particularly and with other molecules


    mixed, but the result of her valuing the beautiful appearance was only a wall


    of ice.


    Thus


    ――


    「


    You are a


    hindrance. Please be obedient and stay there! Air Wall (Atmospheric Prison


    Wall)l!!


    」


    Velzard just solidified


    the atmosphere around Chloe and formed a prison which couldn


    ’


    t be destroyed


    instantly.


    Naturally, for those who


    could move in this stopped time, they didn’t need to breath anymore. Chloe didn


    ’


    t die because of


    this attack, but Velzard had no problem whether she could break free from the


    prison or not.


    Velzard only wanted her


    combat with Guy not be disturbed.


    But


    ――


    ‘


    Kiiiiiiiiin!


    ’


    such clear sound


    could be heard, the atmospheric prison was cut opened.


    The atmosphere in the


    stopped world shook, with the sound of impact accompanying a slash attack.


    It was already beyond


    the level of a sword technique.


    Velzard was astonished


    in the truest meaning.


    (That


    ’


    s right


    ――


    Hero Chloe, you


    are also standing in the same dimension as me and Guy, you couldn


    ’


    t be


    underestimated.)


    A powerful person who


    ’


    s supported with


    experiences and didn


    ’


    t rely on her ability.


    And like herself, she


    realized that Chloe hadn


    ’


    t yet shown all of her cards.


    Velzard glared at Chloe


    with hatred.


    (Then, like with Guy, I


    will seriously fight against her seriously.)


    An enemy whom she should


    defeat. Also, an equal like her too.


    Velzard accepted the


    fact and finally became serious.


    Chloe perceived


    Velzard’s attack and shown a hesitation for a moment.


    Should I withdraw from


    the current combat and fight the winner? So she thought.


    But, unfortunately it


    was not permitted. Her body spontaneously reacted without being able to go


    against the order to fight Guy.


    With her ability, the


    Absolute Severance of Ultimate Skill


    『


    Hope Lord Sariel


    』


    .


    Velzard’s ability of


    absolute fixation was offset by Chloe’s Absolute Severance, its shape is cut by


    Chloe’s sword technique.


    In this case, Chloe’s


    power seemed to surpass it, but it was equal in ability.


    Rather for Chloe, it’s


    an undesirable development because she would expose her skills.


    “Always hold a trump


    card!” such was Rimuru’s teaching that she follow.


    It’s a dependable


    ability, but it’s preferable to use it at the decisive moment. She was warned


    strictly that when she showed it too many times, countermeasures would be made.


    In fact, even in the


    stopped world where she had an absolute confidence, Rimuru shown her his quick


    adaptation.


    If it was real combat,


    there might be a possibility that she would lose some of her mind composure.


    And, she wasn’t


    surprised at people on the level like Guy and Velzard to be able to exist in


    the stopped world like it was natural because of that experience.


    As for Velzard, she


    possess energy incomparable to Chloe, as she could stop time for a long time.


    The duration of time


    that Chloe could stop is only around several seconds. However, Velzard can


    easily stop time for more than several minutes without a problem.


    (Obviously, she’s a higher existence than me――


    )


    Chloe recognized the


    difference in ability clearly.


    Thus, she prudently


    waited for the chance.


    Because she believed


    that Rimuru would defeat Velda as long as she bought time here.


    But, a small doubt


    appeared inside Chloe.


    (It


    ’


    s strange, why


    did Velzard start by confining me?


    My action can


    ’


    t go against the


    order to fight against Guy. If her aim is to defeat Guy, it should be natural


    to cooperate together……


    She have a connection


    with Velda, is she not informed about me? Is it something like that?


    I don


    ’


    t think that


    Velzard ignores Velda


    ’


    s words either.


    If that


    ’


    s so…… Velda


    didn


    ’


    t


    tell anything about me? Such a thing……?)


    She thought that Velda


    ’


    s action was too


    unnatural based on what she guessed from Velzard


    ’


    s action.


    (


    ――


    Right now I must


    concentrate on the fight!)


    Chloe forgot the


    thought.


    She thought about


    focusing herself to her katana and sharpened her senses.


    Guy and Velzard.


    In front of those two


    overwhelming higher existences, worrying about something would lead her


    directly to death.


    Since the


    『


    Memory Retrieval


    』


    of her Ultimate Skill


    『


    Space-Time Lord Yog-Sothoth


    』


    had been sealed off, she needed to


    face them with other abilities.


    Time stop didn’t have a


    meaning either.


    Because in the stopped


    world, you couldn’t stop time any further.


    Even if you added a


    stopped world inside a stopped world, there


    ’


    s no effect. It


    would only lengthen the duration of the stopped time.


    Since her trump card was


    sealed off, she couldn’t say that she going easy anymore.


    Chloe made up her mind


    to stand in this place with all of her power.


    When the three people


    determined their resolution to fight


    ――


    A crimson meteor pierced


    “White Ice Palace” which was Guy’s castle.


    Inside the stopped


    world, with an abnormal speed, the castle was destroyed in front of the three


    people.


    The person who destroyed


    the castle which was reinforced by Velzard’s Concept Fixation, stands calmly.


    With messy azure colored


    hair and Cardinal Aura clad to its body.


    The ruler of beautiful


    scarlet manifested in the stopped world.


    “Scorch Dragon” Velgrind


    joined the fight.


    「


    Long time no see, Nee-san. By the way, the guy who killed my partner


    seems to meddle with Nee-san too.


    」


    「


    Ah, Velgrind. You seem to be very lively.


    It’s regrettable about


    Rudra. But, he’s human after all. You don’t need to care about it forever.


    It seems you’re worrying


    about me, but I’m all right.


    Because I’m sure that


    Velda is the reincarnation of Nii-san


    ――


    」


    Both of their eyes


    intersected.


    Colors of anger appeared


    in Velgrind’s eyes as Rudra was spoken ill of, aura surged out increasingly


    from her body


    「


    Guy, I shall take Nee-san as my opponent.


    You Chloe, Demon Lord


    Rimuru seemed to be worried about you, do your best to survive.


    If you die, that Demon


    Lord would go on a rampage, you see. If it


    ’


    s Guy, he would


    become a great opponent.


    Also Nee-san, for your


    mind to be caught by that imposter, how pathetic.


    I will make you come to your


    senses.


    」


    Velzard’s presence was


    dyed with anger too.


    The mind of both dragon


    sisters swelled and both moved at the same time.


    Both of them clashed.


    By the shock wave of the


    rising destruction, a part of the  “White


    Ice Palace” scattered into pieces.


    Two beautiful dragons


    emerged in that place.


    White and red.


    The stopped world was


    dyed in color by the vivid hue.


    And the essence of the


    red dragon’s ability was


    ――


    『


    Acceleration


    』


    ――


    !!


    Both of the ability to


    stop and ability to accelerate clashed and neutralized each other’s power.


    When Velzard’s ability


    was offset, the stopped time regained its flow once again.


    The world which was


    stopped had begun to move again.


    At the center of the


    north continent, the fight between the strongest species raised its curtain.


    ??????????????????????????


    For now, I transferred


    from Leon


    ’


    s castle to the hidden subspace.


    As planned, Benimaru and


    the other would play their roles.


    In order to deceive


    Velda


    ’


    s


    eyes, the barrier was left active.


    He would think that the


    battle is still continuing on the inside. Well, there


    ’


    dl be no problem


    even if it


    ’


    s exposed.


    As long as he didn


    ’


    t notice my


    existence, all would be fine.


    Leon and co will be all


    right for a while, I restarted the observation of the other places.


    The situation in the


    capital of Ingrassia Kingdom became quite serious, but it’s not critical enough


    for me to get involved.


    However, a problem is


    still a problem, I ordered Diablo’s subordinates to move and resolve the


    problem.


    「


    Please leave it to me, Rimuru-sama!


    」


    Diablo bowed to me


    reverently and put the order into practice.


    Although, he just


    ordered Moss to moved the subordinates. Probably it will be Venom or someone


    nearby.


    Diablo himself didn’t


    seem to have any desire to move from my side. Oh well, it’s fine.


    With such feeling, I


    continued my observation.


    《


    The world movement has stopped. Someone seems to have invoked


    『


    Suspended World


    』


    ――


    》


    Ciel informed a warning.


    「


    Kufufufufu. This scale of the


    『


    Suspended World


    』


    is not just several seconds. Perhaps――


    」


    「


    Is it Velda or Velzard?


    」


    《


    Velda in the present situation didn’t have a reason to stop time. Most


    likely, it’s Velzard――


    》


    Hmm, that might be so.


    Even if Guy had the


    ability to stop time, it wouldn’t be strange, but he has no reason to use it.


    Chloe would not stop


    time for a long time like this. Or rather, it’s meaningless.


    Because if the opponent


    could move inside the stopped world, it would just wasted energy. There’s no


    meaning for stopping time for a long time if she couldn’t find some kind of


    superiority in it.


    Anyway……


    「


    By making that ‘it’s natural’ face, so you can move in that world too,


    Diablo.


    」


    「


    Kufufufufu. Of course, Rimuru-sama. It might be still impossible for


    Benimaru, if it’s Zegion possibly――


    」


    ‘Ho, hohou……’


    Even though I


    was


    able to do this


    just the other day.


    While I didn


    ’


    t realize it, my


    subordinates seemed to display a surprising growth.


    「


    What shall I do? Shall I go and help Chloe-jou?


    」


    Then, I was pondering.


    Even if he went there, transferring would be dangerous.


    It’s also difficult to


    grasp the situation inside the stopped world. Because light stopped inside too,


    my surveillance magic was also useless.


    Transferring there


    without understanding the situation would be suicidal.


    Naturally the reports


    from Moss had also stopped.


    Although moving inside


    might be possible, it was impossible to contact each other.


    If it became so, flying


    there was the quickest way but it would take one hour.


    When I was thinking so


    ――


    《


    Ah, there’s a movement. Velgrind seems to have entered the war.


    》


    Ciel who observed the


    situation told me that.


    Immediately after that,


    the stopped time began to flow.


    Apparently, Velgrind


    seemed to have neutralized the stopped world.


    「


    Rimuru-sama, it’s seems to be one of Velzard-sama’s ability after all.


    Just now, a report came


    from Moss.


    」


    「


    How’s the situation?


    」


    「


    Velgrind-sama has started a combat with Velzard-sama.


    Both in Dragon Mode, it


    seems to be a real fight.


    Kufufufufu. Like this,


    even for someone like me, it’s a dangerous situation.


    」


    I see, a full power


    battle, wasn’t it.


    That’s extremely


    dangerous. A wise man stays away from danger.


    As for Guy and Chloe,


    they would be able to continue their act safely while leaving the combat area


    skillfully.


    「


    Alright, then continue the observation.


    」


    「


    As you wished.


    」


    《


    Then, let’s begins the creation of monitoring system that can be used


    even in


    『


    Suspended


    World


    』


    .


    》


    Ah, yes. If it’s


    possible……


    Oh well, if it’s


    Ciel-sensei, everything was possible.


    At that time, situation


    of various places were once again projected by the surveillance magic, a


    surprising spectacle was shown.


    Dagruel had shown his


    fangs.


    Shion was knocked down


    by one blow.


    Ruminas had recovered,


    but if things keep going as it is, defeat is clear.


    I stood up hurriedly


    but,


    《


    There’s no problem. Please do not interfere.


    》


    I was calmed down by


    Ciel’s calm voice.


    Certainly.


    My friend whom I trusted


    the most, I remembered to turn to her for assistance.


    On a closer look, she


    seemed to have done something secretly as I didn’t notice.


    「


    But, will it be really all right?


    」


    《


    It will be all right…… (probably) ――


    》


    My friend whom I trusted


    the most.


    It seems the confidence


    from Ciel-sensei was also tremendous. ‘Probably’, I felt that this was the


    first time I heard this word from her.


    Even while being uneasy


    for some reason, I canceled my urge to go to help for a moment.


    Until Velda is caught,


    it will be useless if I didn’t hide myself.


    Besides, if it’s not in


    stopped world, even in the worst case, I could go to help with transfer.


    I decided that I would


    wait here and believe in them.


    「


    In the worst case, Diablo, you will go to help her.


    」


    「


    Please leave it to me. However, I think that would be unnecessary.


    」


    I hoped so.


    While worrying, I gazed


    at the projected scene.
