Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (LN) - Volume 20 Chapter 1.2

A few moments after the opening of the battle, several inviolable areas were formed on the battlefield. In these zones, battles between transcendentalists are taking place, and those who are not strong enough are reduced to dust just by approaching them.

Above the battlefield, the one-on-one battle between Milim Four Heavenly Kings Frey and Insect General Torun was becoming so fierce that nothing could stand in their way.

The “Heavenly Kings” and “Milim’s Guards” had no choice but to watch from afar, so as not to get caught up in the aerial battle between the two heroes, which left even the speed of sound behind.

The same is true for the flying bugs under Torun, who are spreading out in a wide disarray in their ranks.

Thus, the battlefield in the sky seemed to be left to the two heroes to decide the winner, but this was clearly a mistake. Looking at the battlefield from a bird’s eye view, only the forces of one side continued to decrease.

“Shishi shishi! You’re weak. You’re good at this, you just run away!”

At first, Frey went on the offensive. But after he was evaded by his signature claw attack, he was on the defensive.

No, he had attacked several times, but they were of no use to Torun, and he did not seem to be a threat. If he was serious about this, it was safe to say that he was an enemy with nothing to see but his speed.

Of course, Torun was not the kind of guy who would let his guard down, which was the reason why the battle had lasted this long…but I was beginning to think that it was time to end it.

That was why I said what I did, but Frey snickered at me.

“Oh, you see it that way? Then you should thank me.”

“What?”

Torun tilted his head, not understanding what he meant. He was the one who should have been the one who had been cornered, but Frey’s expression showed a definite smile of composure.

“Thank God you’re an idiot.”

“What?”

What do you think is the most important element in battle?

Speed.

Well, you’re right. But…”

Frey agrees that speed is the most important factor. At the same time, however, there was another factor that should not be forgotten.

It is not based on physical ability, but on intelligence.

In other words, it was the way of fighting.

When two fighters of the same level of ability clash with each other, the outcome of the fight depends greatly on how they think about fighting or not.

In this case, the current situation proved it.

Frey knew that the fight would be prolonged as soon as the first shot was evaded. Therefore, he thought that it was important to take only the enemy’s physical strength without fatiguing him, and he played the role of a fighter seeking optimal efficiency.

This tactic was not limited to himself but also included his subordinates.

In other words, Frey controlled the situation of the war to his own advantage by involving the enemy forces in the aftermath of the battle between himself and Torun.

Frey’s special feature was his intelligence in using Torun’s power to drive the enemy army to the brink of destruction.

This is Frey.

This was the true nature of the cunning Sky Queen.

Frey laughs at him, and Torun finally realizes what’s going on.

“What ? You’ve been after this thing since the first time…”

“Well, what do you think?”

“You’re cocky… but I can’t get a scratch on me, so I’m the one who’s going to win!”

Torun, enraged, accelerated and closed in on Frey.

However, Frey was right.

Torun’s aerial attacks are so troublesome that the Demon Lord Seed class cannot even see them, but Frey is a different story. If you watch the game many times, you can see the pattern of Torun’s attacks, and even the predicted point of attack can be calculated based on Torun’s initial speed.

It is dangerous to make assumptions, because some of the strongest players ignore the laws of physics completely, but in the case of Torun, I have confirmed that he is bound by the laws of the Cardinal World.

That is why I am going to tell you.

“Assumption is dangerous. I’m a coward, so it takes me a long time to be sure.

When Frey finishes, Torun arrives at the expected position.

What Torun notices is the pain of the nails piercing his chest exoskeleton.

Torun’s exoskeleton, which has a metallic sheen, is not as strong as his alienium fist. If that were the case, adamantite would be strong enough to pierce it… and the result was the current reality.

“Huh?”

Torun is upset, but it is already too late.

He tries desperately to resist, but none of Torun’s powers are activated. As soon as Frey’s claws grabbed him, the game was already won.

In Torun’s chest, which was pierced through, there was a “magic core” that was important for the insect majin (insector). Frey’s claws are clutching it.

“So, goodbye.”

Torun’s magical core is broken successfully.

This was Torun’s death.

Lucia and Claire congratulate Frey.

“Good job, Frey-sama.

“Well done, Frey-sama. We’ll now get down to the serious business of mopping up.

Frey nodded gracefully.

“Yes, please. I’m tired, but the battle is still going on. I don’t think I have time to rest either.

Frey looks around the battlefield.

He looks around the battlefield and sees his comrades who are struggling.
