As he heads back he gets an uneasy feeling. He looks around as he heads toward tempest. The uneasy feeling doest leave so he decides to use spatial magic to get there faster.

"Huh? It didn't activate?" He thought.

"Notice: You are currently in a wide-range magic feild. Abilities that affect the space outside of the feild can't be used."

"Whats going on here."

He's about to speed off in the direction of tempest when souei shows up beaten badly.

"Lord... Lord Rimuru your alright."

"Yea but your not what the hell happened."

"Don't worry I'm safe this is just a clone. But you need to leave there Is an insanely powerful enemy her..." Souei tries to say before his clone fades.

"What the hell. Why are we under attack? Damn what's my luck Milim leaves now I have to deal with this."

"I don't think we've met before." an unfamiliar voice comes from behind. "even though I'm going to say goodbye soon."

"I'm in a fairly bad mood so I would like you to leave." He says turning around.

When he sees her he recognizes her from Shizus memories.

"Quite the attitude there." the stranger says.

"Sorry my name is Rimuru Tempest an adventurer might you have mistaken me for someone else?"

"No you are the one Ruler of monsters. Your nation is quite the nuisance so we decide to eradicate you. So we cant have you going back there."

Rimuru lets out a sigh "Its terrible timing but its nice to meet you Hinata Sakaguchi of the western church Impereal gaurd."

"Quite sharp for a monster."

"If its not to much trouble i would like to talk this out instead of fighting."

"You and I? I dont care for the words of a monster." She says dasking at Rimuru peirceing his shoulder.

He jumps back before falling to his knee.

"My body feels so heavy." He thinks rising back to his feet.

"Im impressed that you can move i figured you wouldnt be able to within this barrier."

"I see so thats why i feel weaker."

"All magicules within it are purified weakening monsters."

"I see. I am angery because you hurt my friend but because i know you from Shizu

.." he says befire getting inturrupted.

"Are you gonna say she asked you to help."

she says dashing at him strikeing him two more times.

When he jumps away he manages to stay on his feet.

"Why do i feel pain?" he thought dodge the next hit but geting graze by it.

"I see that no ordinary attack."

"I see you noticed. I guess ill tell you then. This skill kills you in seven strikes."

Rimuru drifts of and starts thinking about Milim as Hinata talks.

Hinata notices this and attacks.

"Loseing focus in the middle of a fight im quite disappointed."

He summons Ifrit to by some time to think of a plan. Ifrit soon start freaking out in pain so Rimuru calls him back and gets struck two more times.

"Damn I can't die here. I want to see her again." He thinks to himself. I'll create a body double and make my double use gluttony as a distraction. I hope she doesn't notice I don't have any more chances."

The rest upto makeing it back goes exactly like cannon.

Switching to What Milim is up to.

Milim mostly spent her time playing the part but when Clayman wasnt around she would use Freys crystal ball to watch over Rimuru. She loved to see Rimuru as a teacher. She had to convince herself not to rush to him.

"I wonder how i would look as a teacher? Damn i wish i could be there with you Rimuru."

Her time to watch over him could never last do to her mission.

Eventually she notice he was getting ready to head back home. She notices that he seems uneasy as he heads on his way. She begins to worry something bad will happen. She continues watching and seas Souei appear beaten.

"What the hell is going on here!" She yells.

Soueis double disappears and Milim begins to worry even more. Shes sees as the stranger approaches. Shes confused on why Rimuru seems to know who she is. She sees the stranger attack and hurt Rimuru. Milims anger slipped out ab it as she squeezed the ball cracking it a little bit. Frey bursts through the door after hearing Milim yell. Frey gets closer to see whats going on and is stunned at what shes seeing. Next thing they see is Rimuru getting erased by the last attack.

Frey notices something in the grass in the distance and tries to point it out to Milim, but Milim anger starts to take control as the ground beneath her starts cracking and shaking.

"Ill kill her." Milim says in a dark tone. "Ill erase everything connected to her."

Frey is overwhelmed but manages to grab Milim and point out hes alive. Milim looks at Frey with tears running down her face as she calms down a bit.

"He.. Hes alive?" she asks in a sad tone.

Frey walks up next to her and points out Rimurus slime form in the distance. A wave of relief hits Milim. Milim then puts the ball down and hugs Frey and begins to cry in her arms. Frey embraces her petting her head.

"I thought i wouldnt beable to see him again." Milim said crying.

"You know he wont quit until he gets you back." Frey said comforting Milim.

Milim smiles and nods as she calms down while still in Freys arms. They stay like that for awhile but eventually break apart.

"Let us get back to work so you can get back to him sooner Milim."

Milim smiles and agrees leaveing with frey.

"When we meet again ill never let go again Rimuru." Milim said to herself.
