But what did Slime do wrong?

This banquet is definitely not a feast for the guests and hosts, but it has some meaning of breaking up on the contrary.

After all, everyone is a king, no matter whether it is too clearly revealed on the surface like Gilgamesh, but it is undeniable that each of them has their own unique arrogance, and it is impossible to easily It is impossible to express surrender to others easily.

Let’s not mention Limuru as the king of alien races, but whether it is Gilgamesh or Iskandar as the king of conquest, they are all older kings than Artoria.

In other words, in terms of "being kings", they are Artoria's legitimate seniors, and they think they have some qualifications to question Artoria's ruling method.

And Artoria was not so firm about her own rule and kingly way, but now she is criticized so much by Gilgamesh and Iskandar, who are also kings, this Eternal King is even a little bit emotional. collapse.

Is the decision I made really the right one?

Can the path I'm on really get the desired ending?

No one can give Artoria a standard answer.

Compared with these, Assassin came to attack later, but was easily defeated by Iskandar's inherent barrier, it seems that it is not particularly worth mentioning.

In the eyes of everyone, Assassin should have completely withdrawn from the Holy Grail War this time, but Limuru's eyes were a little wandering.

That's an act of guilt.

There's no way, it's okay to be guilty, after all, there are still two Assassins in his stomach playing poker.

Rimuru's stomach bag used to be able to analyze and corrode the magic formula that sealed the storm dragon Veludra bit by bit. Now it is easy to analyze the contract between the servant, the Holy Grail, and the master. one thing.

Rimuru: I'm just quiet, I don't do anything.

Just look at him!

**

"Um-"

After leaving Einzbern's castle, Rimuru held Matou Sakura's hand and stood in the cold night wind, lost in thought.

So where should you go next?

Although it is said that Tosaka Tokiomi would definitely welcome Tohsaka’s house, but Rimuru doesn’t think Gilgamesh is a good person to get along with, and he is not very willing to take Matou Sakura into Tohsaka’s house. The gate of the Sakae.

"Do you have any troubles, Rimuru-sama?"

Diablo asked.

"Well, it's like this..."

Since Diablo asked that question, Rimuru also told him her own question.

"Although I can take out gold and jewelry to exchange for coins that can be used, but at this point in time, it feels like there are no shops open at all... And I will never have a hotel to check me in."

Limuru said so, and shook his head with a wry smile, apparently feeling sad and powerless about his short stature.

Ahhh, so when can I grow bigger - bigger!

After hearing this, Diablo groaned for a moment, clasped one hand on his chest, and slightly bowed towards Limuru: "Then, please leave it to me."

"For such a thing, I happen to have some ideas."

"Huh? Really?" Rimuru's eyes widened in surprise, and then he readily reached out to Diablo, "Then I will leave everything to you."

"Yes?"

Diablo stretched out his hand, and then the palm of his hand sank, and a few gemstones had already fallen from it. Just by looking at it like this, one could tell that it must be a gem of excellent quality.

He clenched the gem tightly, smiled on his face, and performed a not-so-standard deacon ceremony.

"Don't worry, if it is Rimuru-sama's order, then I will definitely fulfill the request perfectly."

The black crow-like deacon disappeared before his eyes. Limuru thought for a while, then spread his hands, and a small ball of dancing flames appeared in his palm.

And outside the flame, a transparent cube emerged, enveloping the flame.

"Come on." Limulu handed over the handicraft-like cube, "It's really cold at night, isn't it?"

"..." Matou Sakura didn't speak, but stretched out her hand towards Limuru, catching a cube, as if she also caught the warmth flowing from Limuru's body.

Limulu smiled, and was about to speak when his face suddenly became serious.

The voice of world consciousness rang clearly in his mind.

[Natural disaster: the malice of the world. 】

[Estimated time of arrival: 4 days and 17 hours. 】

[Reverse progress: 73%]

Limulu:? ? ?

"Wait, wait!" Limulu asked, "What happened? Why did the progress jump so fast suddenly? I clearly haven't had time to do anything yet?!"

But the will of the world obviously wouldn't respond to his question, and just let Limulu doubt life with a confused face.

Rimuru didn't know that, taking advantage of the excellent opportunity of the King's Banquet tonight to hold Arturia, and even gather the attention of all other heroic spirits and Masters, Emiya Kiritsugu quietly Silently touched the hotel where Kenneth lived.

It is almost impossible for a mortal to fight against a heroic spirit, but to deal with a human master who is also a magician, such a thing is very easy and simple for Emiya Kiritsugu.

He managed to deceive Sora, control the other party in his own hands, and threatened Kenneth with this, asking Kenneth to use the command spell and forcibly order Lancer to commit suicide.

At the same moment when the king's banquet ended and Assasin was almost wiped out, it was also the moment when Lancer Diarmuid withdrew from this Holy Grail War.

In this case, Beserker, Caster, Assassin, and Lancer among the seven Heroic Spirits who participated in the Holy Grail War have all retired, and the only ones left are the three Heroic Spirits who participated in the King's Banquet.

——Perhaps also in this Holy Grail War, no matter in terms of personal comprehensive strength, or in terms of popularity and spread, they are the three most powerful heroic spirits.

More than half of the heroic spirits have left the field, and they have already deviated from the original world line. Isn't the twisted progress just like riding a rocket?

And the changes caused by this are obviously more than the same——

[Solution, it is observed that the form of existence of the individual named Alice Fel von Einzbern is changing, do you want to observe further? ]

"Mrs. Irisviel?" Limulu was taken aback, "What's wrong with her?"

If there was that King Arthur guarding her side, Limuru didn't feel that Irisviel might be hurt.

[Her form of existence is gradually changing from an intelligent human being to a simple instrument for containing power. ]

[According to the integration of existing information, Irisfel von Einzbern is the pre-minor Holy Grail that was specially made in the Holy Grail War to summon the Great Holy Grail. ]

[When the Holy Grail War progresses to a certain extent, Irisviel will lose her human appearance and turn back into a [vessel] to prepare for the coming of the Great Holy Grail. ]

"Hey--"

Limulu had a very good impression of Irisviel, after all, she was the first person who showed kindness to him after he came to this world.

So at this moment, after the King of Wisdom made such a notice, Limulu did not need much hesitation, and had already decided what she would do in the future.

"I'm going to see Irisviel." Limuru said, "I can't convince myself that I know about this matter, but I just let it go."

Now that one has been born in this world, possessed sanity, and possessed one's own unique fetters in this world, no matter what the nature of its existence is, it can already be treated according to human standards.

For the so-called "pursuit", "righteousness" and "long-cherished wish", making such an act of sacrificing others is no different from murder?

Limulu admits that he does have such unrealistic naivety, but he just wants everything to have a perfect ending like a fairy tale or a dream.

[If this is your decision. ]

The path of light that only Limuru can see extends straight forward, and the dots of light point all the way to a very far place.

Limuru thought for a while, and chose to hand over Sakura Matou to Ifrit to take care of her: "You take Sakura to find Diablo. If Diablo has already settled down, you can go with Sakura first. Just stay there."

"Teacher... are you going to leave me?"

The girl who had been silent all this time grabbed Rimuru's sleeve vigorously and raised her head to look at him.

"No, not dropping it."

Rimuru bent down, and placed a soft kiss full of blessings on Matou Sakura's forehead.

"It's just a temporary deposit, and it will be back soon."

Limuru stretched out her little finger towards Matou Sakura: "If you're not at ease, let's pull the hook?"

Matou Sakura straightened the corners of her lips, and finally hooked Rimuru's fingers tentatively.

"Then, that's all right..."

"Yeah." Limuru replied, "I'm your teacher."

**

After Matou Sakura was settled, Rimuru rushed towards Irisviel's direction.

But he may have come a step too late after all.

When Rimuru saw Irisviel again, although she still had a human body, she couldn't stay awake anymore.

She was lying on the bed like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale, with her eyes closed, her expression calm and serene.

Emiya Kiritsugu was not here, he seemed to have his own, more important things to do.Arturia stood by Irisviel's side, her expression looked a little gloomy.

"……It is you."

After realizing the huge fluctuation of magic power, Arturia held her sword vigilantly, and relaxed a little after realizing that the person who came was Limuru.

"Sorry, I came uninvited."

While apologizing to her, Limulu called the King of Wisdom: [Teacher King of Wisdom, is there any way I can help Irisviel? ]

[That is what she wills and why she was created. ]

[Even so, do you still want to stop this process? ]

[right. ] Limulu said, [In this world, no one should ever be created for death. ]

[Then, just stop the Holy Grail from falling. ]

The wise king sighed.

[Do as you want. ]

[my king. ]

[Thank you, Teacher King of Wisdom. ]

Rimuru reached out to grab Irisviel's wrist, but Artoria avoided it.

"what are you going to do?"

She looked at Rimuru with those lake green eyes.

"Miss Saber should be able to see it too, right? Irisviel's current state is not right."

"I want to help Irisviel get out of this state."

Arturia opened her mouth: "...There is no way to do that."

"Irisviel specially set up the [spell] to allow the Great Holy Grail to descend successfully. When the Holy Grail War began and the first heroic spirit left the field, the transformation that took place in Irisviel was already irreversible. It's gone."

"No, I don't think so."

Rimuru stretched out his hand again.

This time, Artoria didn't try to stop her again, so Rimuru successfully held Irisviel's hanging hand.

"No one is born with a mission that is not his will, and no one can easily judge life."

"Even artificial humans have equal rights to survive in this world and breathe fresh air."

"I heard what Irisviel said - she still has a beloved husband and a beloved daughter."

"I don't think she really has no nostalgia for this world, and she can face her own death so calmly."

"At least I'm going to ask."

Rimuru and Artoria looked at each other, those golden pupils looked like the sun in the sky.

"Is she really determined to say goodbye to the world?"

A black shadow emerged from Limuru's hand, and spread along the skin in contact with Irisviel. It was another way of using [Gluttony].

Since Irisviel fell into the current situation because of the incoming magic power, then think about it from another angle, could she be able to restore her previous appearance as long as that part of the extra magic power was taken away?

It is not an easy task to grab the magic power from the Little Holy Grail, but coincidentally, Limuru happens to be one of the few people who can do this.

One of the ultimate abilities recognized by the will of the world [King of Gluttony] can "prey" on many things. The targets are not limited to organic or inorganic objects, but also include skills and magic, which are used to deal with the immediate situation best means.

Accompanied by the role of [Gluttony], the huge magic power enough to support the heroic spirit was gradually withdrawn from Irisviel's body and transferred to Rimuru's body.

If it were someone else, he would have already been blown away by such magic power—but Rimuru was once a strange existence that could hold the huge amount of magic essence of the storm dragon Veldera. Although the magic power is huge, But compared to Veldora, it was still not enough.

The accident happened at a certain moment.

Countless black mud poured out from Irisviel's mouth, nose, eyes, and ear canals, carrying an ominous aura, accompanied by uninterrupted babbling and cursing, flooding the surroundings in an instant.

Limulu fell in this dark sea of ​​mud, until a pair of hands stretched out from behind, wrapping around his shoulders.

The owner of the hand was a woman who had the appearance of Irisviel, but was far from her impression.

The moment he saw her, Rimuru had a certain realization.

"You are the actual target of my mission this time, right?"

The young man turned around, the wings behind him spread out violently, a sharp long sword appeared in his hand, and the point of the sword pointed directly at the throat of the woman in front of him.

"...the evil of this world."
