Chapter 62
"Of course, we are good friends after all, right? So...will you come back to play with me again in the future?"
"......I guess so."
"Well, that's good." Rimuru smiled cutely, "In that case, there's nothing to worry about, right?"
"...That's right."
Gafan smiled helplessly.
Then, the two of them stopped talking and just stayed here quietly, blowing the evening breeze and enjoying the rare tranquility without being disturbed.
And witness all this and accompany them.
It’s the old tree that everyone regards as the “Christmas tree”.
...
the next day.
Emergency gaffe.
The meeting hall.
Rimuru, who had just learned from the tree spirit that the legendary disaster-level monster, the Great Storm Vortex, with power comparable to the Demon King, had awakened and was heading towards this monster town, faced with his subordinates who were waiting for orders. Eyes.
After being slightly silent for a while, he looked at Gafan and Feongshu beside him.
The usual relaxed and gentle look in his eyes disappeared.
There is just a serious look that comes from being the leader of the Jura Forest Alliance and the real person in charge of this monster town.
"This fight, as friends... I hope you two will stay out of it."
Chapter 74: This is the Christmas gift I prepared for him in advance 4K
The break in the routine is so sudden.
Standing on the edge of a higher cliff, Gafan looked at the flying monster that looked like a shark with two huge wings and knew it.
It was almost time for him to leave this world.
After all, there will be a series of key points in Rimuru's original world line to become stronger, and he cannot get too involved in them.
"Hey, Gafan."
A skeleton wearing a large robe suddenly appeared next to Gafan, and Momonga patted his shoulder as a greeting.
"Are you really not going to help?"
"Otherwise, people have said that this is a matter of the national position."
Gafan didn't look back, rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Even though they had been together for a few days, Gafan, who looked at the other person in a dark way from time to time, still instinctively disliked him.
However, Momonga didn't pay any attention to this. Instead, he touched his chin and carefully looked at the monster said to be called the Great Storm Demon Vortex in the sky above the Jura Forest.
"The length of this body is more than fifty meters, and..."
Momonga watched as the "Black Flame Hell" released by Benimaru gradually extinguished on the big guy. Souei's steel wires scratched sparks on his scales. Shion, who was brought up to the sky with the help of Rashiga, condensed all the magic in his body. On the Odachi, he slashed out the "Decapitated Ghost Blade" with all his strength, which exceeded the speed of sound.
"Qiang——"
A huge, ferocious wound appeared, with blood and broken scales flying everywhere, but in the blink of an eye everything was restored to its original state.
Several ghosts who were enough to be called a disaster, plus all the people below with long-range attack methods, were unable to cause effective damage to the Great Storm Demon Vortex.
A giant body of more than fifty meters, a unique body structure, and a super-fast regenerative vitality that can be called foul.
"It's quite resistant to beatings."
Momonga came to the conclusion that even if he released the super magic "Falling from the Sky", there would be a certain probability that it would not be able to kill him completely with one blow.
Well, at least I have to add a few more high-level magics, and then I should be considered completely dead.
Momonga analyzed cautiously, and at this moment, one of the dozens of A-level monsters called the Sky-Swimming Giant Sharks surrounding the Great Storm Demonic Vortex suddenly got rid of the entanglement of several pig-human warriors and screamed. Rush towards here.
"Oh, you are so brave."
Momonga commented with some surprise, and then looked at the giant monster swooping in front of him. It looked like a giant shark and was more than ten meters long, but it should have no self-consciousness. He casually waved his pale bony fingers.
"[The most enhanced magic·now broken]."
The next moment, it was as if the space was displaced for a moment, and then the monster, which could destroy a village on its own, broke into two halves without any warning.
Blood and internal organs spattered, and the huge corpse hit with inertia.
"Nitrogen barrier."
"Bang——"
Gafan didn't even bother to look at the corpse that fell off the cliff. Instead, he glanced at the flying squirrel beside him speechlessly, with a habitual look of disgust in his eyes.
"Aha, I was a bit negligent."
Momonga laughed awkwardly and said, "However, if it's just self-defense, it shouldn't be considered a violation of the agreement made with Rimuru, right?"
"Of course not...and Momonga, don't think of bad ideas. Trust Rimuru, he can handle it."
At this time, an accident happened.
The Great Storm Demon Vortex, which was originally hanging high in the sky and had been unconsciously bearing the attack of everyone present, which was enough to plow through a small city, instinctively launched the attack for the first time after realizing that its followers suffered heavy casualties. .
It's not a dive, it's not crushing with the body, it's not releasing some terrifying magic, but...
Tens of thousands of huge scales with a hardness below A-level, which could not damage the monster at all, detached from the body surface at the same time, and then shot down like a violent storm.
"Ouch——"
Lanya raised his head and screamed, the horn on his head condensed all the magic, and then released "black lightning" that was enough to shatter thick city walls, evaporate small lakes, and directly dispersed some of the scales that covered the sky and the sun. .
But that’s about it.
The power that was astonishing but not enough to pose a threat attracted the attention of the Great Storm Demon Vortex.
The tens of thousands of scales that were originally intended to shoot at the army below evenly gathered together, forming a barrage-like torrent, rushing towards Lan Ya and the powerful ghosts.
"Oh? In this case, we should be able to help. Rimuru also said that if we really encounter a crisis, he hopes that we can help."
The soul flame in the skull's eye sockets swayed slightly, and magic power was gathering in his hands. Momonga was about to save Shion and the others, and then "accidentally" let the big guy in the sky hit him again.
Gafan raised his hand to stop him with a speechless expression.
"Will you be scolded by Rimuru like this? Um, no, I haven't seen him scold anyone, forget it, that's what he means anyway."
Gafan pointed at the familiar figure that had swooped down from the sky and said calmly.
"Just watch with peace of mind, he is very strong."
"Glutton."
With the appearance of a huge dark vortex, it was as if a giant beast in the void opened its greedy mouth, and then instantly bitten a large piece of it, totaling thousands of scales.
"Devoured by magic element."
Immediately afterwards, as the little hand opened, part of the behemoth in the sky, which had an astonishing amount of magic energy, was pulled out of the body, along with part of the giant wings.
It was as if he was dragged to the ground by an invisible giant hand, and then disappeared into a dark vortex.
Looking at this scene, the raised bone hand was lowered.
Momonga's eyes were a little surprised.
"It's strange... is it my imagination? That Rimuru guy seems to have become a lot stronger."
It shouldn't be. The other party has been staying in the town during this period and has been eating and drinking happily all day long. How come he suddenly became so strong in a short period of time?
Not counting the big guy sealed inside the opponent's body, my total amount of magic energy seems to have nearly doubled, right?
"Hey, that doesn't make sense."
Momonga felt that he was puzzled, while Gafan on the side looked away while whistling.
And said silently in his heart.
Thank you for the gift of nature (the system picked up the corpses of vaccine victims).
At the same time, Rimuru, who was protecting Shion and others, also looked at his white little hands in surprise.
【tell. The body of the suspected disaster-level monster has been completely swallowed, absorbing unknown beneficial parts, and the energy contained has not been captured]
[The unique skill "Glutton" has been optimized. The total amount of its own magic element has increased by 80%, the intensity of the magic element release output has increased by 50%, the essence of the race's existence has undergone mild beneficial mutations, and all aspects of resistance have been slightly enhanced. 】
After listening to the analysis report of the "Great Sage", Rimuru was stunned for a moment, and then his face regained his composure and he looked directly at the great storm demon vortex in the sky.
He would have to thank that guy Gafan again later, but now, he had to concentrate on dealing with the troublesome enemy in front of him who had recovered completely from his injuries in the blink of an eye.
With this thought in mind, Rimuru once again opened his simulated bat wings and instantly broke through the speed of sound and soared into the sky.
He also waved his hand in the direction of a certain cliff as a way of saying hello.
And Gafan was completely relieved when he saw the scene in front of him.
He was 100% sure that the big guy in the sky was definitely no match for his friend Rimuru.
so......
"Well, Momonga, it's time for us to go."
"Oh, is it so sudden?" Feongshu glanced at Gafan beside him in surprise, but there was no surprise in his tone, as if he had already known about it.
After all, that night, when the other party came to his door and lowered his head to ask for help, he had already informed him of this matter.
"Well, after all, farewells and sadness are not suitable for me at all. And if there is anything I want to talk about, I already said it when I went out to have a nice day last night. That's enough."
Gafan grabbed his hair helplessly and struggled.
"And I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave at that time...right, Xiaolin?"
He turned his attention to Xiao Linna, who was sitting on the lawn nearby, with his hand on his chin, looking at the ridiculously large storm demon vortex in the sky with surprising calmness.
After being stunned for a moment, the other party smiled helplessly.
"Ah ha, I don't know how to say goodbye to Milim. After all, the child seems to be a little too clingy to me."
"That's it... Then you all put your hands on my shoulders first. There is no need to shake hands, just physical contact. I want to free my hands to get something."
After waiting for a while, Gafan, who felt his shoulders being pressed, looked down at the faint white fluorescence that began to appear on his body, and sighed helplessly.
This was the first time that he was not looking forward to traveling back from another world.
"Miss Torene, you should be here, right?"
Gafan suddenly spoke.
"Oh? Mr. Gafan, how did you discover me?"
The next moment, green lights appeared and gathered on the lawn out of thin air, and then the figure of a tree elf lady who loved to eat potato chips was revealed.
Toreni looked at the fluorescence coming from the three people in front of her and asked in surprise.
"And...what are you doing?"
"Nothing, we just want to go home."
Gafan smiled freely, and then a beautifully wrapped gift box suddenly appeared out of thin air on his raised left hand, and a black and white ring appeared on his right hand.
"Although it's a bit sudden, can I ask Miss Renee to deliver some gifts to me?"
"Okay, that's okay... Hey, are you leaving, super long-distance space teleportation?"
Torene, who subconsciously took the gift box and ring, was also stunned.
"Haha, almost, although the distance is a bit ridiculous." Gafan smiled casually and kindly, then looked directly into the other person's eyes and said seriously.
"Please help me pass these two gifts in your hands to that guy Rimuru. These are the Christmas gifts I prepared for him in advance."
After all, I probably won’t be able to hold each other and spend Christmas in another world together.
He made a joke in his heart that was not very funny, but Gafan didn't give the other party too much time to think about it. After all, he was still pressed for time.
"Please help me tell him that the ring must be worn on the index finger of the right hand, and he will be a chic single nobleman."
