"Kufufufu such a wonderful day. I get to serve my lord again after so long"
"Ugh. That was more draining than I thought" said Rimuru, trying to put his voice together.
"Hai master. It seems like you are in need of energy. Please accept some from me"
"No I am fine. Right now you will be needing that power more than me. I know you just awoke after a hundred thousand years, but I am giving you my first mission" said Rimuru, finally being able to speak properly.
"It is my pleasure to serve you. And what do you suppose I should do with the little intruder we have?" asked Diablo.
"Don't kill him. He will be important for the mission. Interrogate him. Gather information. And once you are done with that, infiltrate the Heroes' Association. I want to know the extent of power of the highest beings in this world. Gauge the strength of the True Hero King Nathen, along with the others. Do not fight them unless absolutely necessary. Once you are able to find out an estimate, report back to me" explained Rimuru.
"As you wish master. I will make sure to complete the mission successfully" said Diablo and bowed.
"This high tier spell you crafted here is quite impressive. It even blocks the usage of lower tier ultimate skills, let alone unique skills" said Rimuru impressed.
"Kufufufu I am flattered master"
"Well then, I will be going back. Also report to me if you come across any other seals. Do not try to release them on your own" warned Rimuru in a serious tone.
"Hai Rimuru sama. It seems like the 'will' is still troubling you. Now then, I will be taking my leave" said Diablo and teleported away.
"The 'will' huh. That was a long time ago"
"Who the hell are you?" said Morgan as Diablo appeared in front of him.
"Kufufufu Knowing that will only cause you more pain"
Morgan instantly tried to activate his unique skill Destroyer but it was blocked.
"Ugh. I can't use my unique skills. I didn't think I would have to use my legendary sword in a lowly place like this. Come forth Durandel! Lend me your power! Ultimate skill- Legendary sword Durandel!"
"..."
"Wait what!?"
"Legendary sword Durandel? And that is your ultimate skill?" said Diablo while cutting away the arm that was holding the sword.
"Aaaaahhhhh!"
"This will make a fine addition to my collection"
"N-no way! I need to get out of here"
With that, he started running.
"Kufufufu I am going to enjoy this to the fullest"
3 hours later-
"Where the hell is the damn exit?!" shouted Morgan.
Suddenly the walls around him started converging.
"What the hell?"
The next moment, his other hand was sent flying.
"Aaarghhh!"
"Keep running insect, otherwise you are going to die"
"What?" He looked around to see a ferocious beast, wearing a necklace made of skulls and a scythe in his hand walking towards him.
"N-no! Stay away!"
"You are speaking too much for a mere bug" said Diablo and grabbed Morgan by his throat.
"Aargh!"
"Kufufufu Lets see how much you are able to withstand" said Diablo and started increasing his aura release.
3 seconds later- his skin started burning. 5 Seconds later, his bones started to crack.
"P-please help me! I-I can't!"
"Pathetic. You are even weaker than this lower demon lord that came here a few thousand years ago" said Diablo while releasing him.
"T-this?" said Morgan looking at the beast.
"Yeah you heard right. 'This' is the remains of that demon lord, after my magic sucked away its very being of existance" said Diablo with an evil smile.
"P-please spare me! I will do anything you say! I will be your slave but please don't do this to me!" Said Morgan.
"Kufufufu of course. You are going to be very useful to me as a spy. I will have to train you properly of course" said Diablo and grabbed him by his throat.
"Aaargh!"
"Now then, let us begin your training shall we?"
And so, a world full of pain stood in front of Morgan.
"Looks like this is the next place" said Kay
"It seems so. Now lets find the clue. Mia"
"On it"
With that, Mia cast a wide range analysis magic, backed by Kay's enhancement spell.
"Found it"
"Finally! This seems like the last clue to the treasure. Now then lets proceed"
"Looks like you guys found the last clue before us" came a voice from behind them.
"huh?"
"Now quietly hand that over to-"
*bam*
"Oops. Looks like I messed up the coordinates. Tee-hee"
/You should have left it to me master/
'B-but I wanted to try it for myself after so long!'
/That's why I should have done it. You were bound to mess up after not doing anything for so long/ said Ciel with a sigh.
"W-w-what the hell! How did you just appear out of thin air!" shouted a guy in surprise.
"Looks like teleportation magic. To think They would have set up a trap for us! Tch. As expected of the top team of Kulan Academy!" said another girl.
"Huhuhu you are right!" said Rimuru, making full use of the opportunity.
/.../
"Yosh. I will take care of this" said Ryzen as he readied his unique skill, Surtur and created a giant flame demon avatar, ready to rain down fire balls.
*boom boom boom boom*
"Where did you go for so long Rimuru?" asked Mia
"Ah It was some sort of an emergency. Now then lets continue the game" said Rimuru.
Treasure location-
"This is no good. We will have to decide a victor" said Nina
"It seems so" said Ryzen
"Of course. Now its a battle royale" said Cindy
Said the team captains of the three teams from the three academies.
"Alright guys, get ready" said Ryzen while unleashing Surtur.
"Don't think I am going to go easy on you little bro" said Nina while entering her Royal Beast Transformation.
"Don't go underestimating us as well" said Cindy and transformed into a True Vampire.
'Welp. I was nearly zero on energy anyway. Time to refill' thought Rimuru
*boom*
The next moment, intense fireballs, blood rays, mystic blasts, air bombs, and all kinds of other magic got fired. Rimuru instantly teleported in between the three, and activated gluttonous king Beelzebub.
"WHAT IN DA HECK!" said Nina with surprise
"What kind of absurd skill is that?" said Cindy with her eyes wide open
'Why am I even surprised by this? Of course such low level magic is no match for Rimuru sama' thought Ryzen.
"That was some tasty magic right there. Thanks for the meal!" said Rimuru with a smile.
"Why you!"
"Looks like she has some type of skill that absorbs magic. We will have to attack her physically" said Rohan while transforming into true Vampire as well.
"Yeah it seems like it"
The next moment, Rohan and Cindy flew towards Rimuru.
'Yikes I don't wanna fight two members of the 'True Vampire' race right now' thought Rimuru and teleported behind his team.
"You are not getting away!" Cindy followed behind him.
*clash*
"You will have to get through me first" said Ryzen as he intercepted her.
"I will help you!" said Rohan and rushed behind her.
*clash*
"I am the only one allowed to beat my brother. Stay away from him" said Nina as she grabbed Rohan by the leg and threw him away.
*crash*
"Next is you" said Nina and rushed towards Cindy.
"So the 'golden beast' wants to fight me? Bring it" said Cindy and started glowing.
*bam*
"Don't forget about me" said Ryzen as he hit Cindy with a scorching punch.
And so, a three way fight between them began.
