Ri Diablo and Co behind, I blitzed towards where Milim was

Miliel

Each and every one of those attacks were deflected away by the shield of "Castle Guard"

Thinking back, when Rudra used the ability, I don't see able to deflect or reflect attacks

《It is possible that the ability was originally meant to be a "commander" type skill

As it was a skill used by someone who didn't need to directly attack, there was no need for that effects

Chances are, alterations are being es as required by the situation, you could think of it as so more "flexible" now》

(Hmm? You mean, she has an ability that’s sih there's no way to say for sure, the possibility that it may be an evolved skill cannot be denied either》

Fumu

If it really is an evolved skill then this isn't all too unbelievable

But if that's the case, the silver haired angel would be the avatar of 『Justice King Michael』's ego

If Rudra losing control really was caused by intervention froht not be impossible after all

The problem noould be how capable it is

If it had calculation power and freedom that is on par with Ciel, it would make for a pretty nasty opponent to deal with

(What do you think? Is it an existence on the same level as you?)

《Fu As if》

Woah!?

Did Ciel-sensei just totally deny that statehtiness Makes me wonder where she learned how to show such expressions

Also she see the opposition It kinda feels like the aura of so

Well, I understood what Ciel was trying to say "Don't luether with 'that'!" would be it

(Does that mean, you kno to neutralize opponents that have "Castle Guard"?)

I tried probing without expectations,

《Of course Regarding that, I have put together a plan》

She nonchalantly replies, quiteshe is

Could it be, that I'h the back of my head, that is definitely not the case

This is where I need to protect nity, and humbly accept the facts

(I wouldn't expect any less I believed! Always believed you'd easily crack this "Castle Guard" probleardless of what I "believed", this was an ability that Velda would have had anyhich ould be able to overcoht anyway At this point, it's not ood idea to quickly restrain that silver haired angel

Trusting Ciel, I went ahead and landed right in front of the silver haired angel, aka Lucia

At the moment I stood before her, she turned her attention toattacked by Milim

「My my, if it isn't demon lord Rimuru I have been notified of your existence

The fool who dares oppose Velda-saet in my way」

「Hel, or Justice King Michael's ego?」

It was fine if she didn't answer, I only asked as a "for so on how she reacts

「Seems like a self introduction would be proper

I, I am the one who has been bestowed the nauessed, I was borne fro Michael』

Perhaps you would understand if I were to call myself "Manas"

Let's just say, an ultimate existence of sorts」

She showed a mysterious smile from her beautiful face, as she said her piece

So the silver haired angel's identity, is Manas: Lucia

But Manas, huh

I was honestly surprised, that Manas other than Ciel-sensei were born

《This is unpleasant So this is the ely in a badunhappy about the fact that there is another existence which could possibly be equal to herself

But looking at her, she's really starting to understand how e, but I don't really get the point

Well, there's no doubt it would be pretty a to have a conversation with her now

Just as I was thinking that,

《How dare she look down on Master, that lowly Manas!》

That's what you're concerned about!?

I almost took a jab at her out of reflex there

Also, "that lowly Manas", aren't you one yourself!?

She see that fact, and feels like she has passed the point of being displeased to being fairly pissed, at Lucia

「Lucia, huh So, what are you up to?

Are you enraging Milim, so as to dominate her?」

「Fufufu, so you have the minimal ability to understand that reat Velda-sahter

After the destruction of the world with her "cooperation", she is the being most suited to become the "Mother of the New World"!

For that purpose, her trifle memories are unneeded

Those filthy ness

And you, are the greatest representative of this "filth" An existence that should be cleansed

I should give you credit though, for noticing as happening here

But, it is already too late

――this should be about enough now

Time for you to perish, vile dealia Do for Just as predicted by Ciel

Mili Lucia's "Castle Guard" with fists enchanted with unreal a's Rule" and froze in place

――or so that's what it looked like

(Hey, isn't that just an act?)

《No doubts about that From what has been analyzed earlier, Milih it looks pretty realistic, it's kinda obvious that it's all an act

She looked pretty happy when she saw ave her as a present, so as not to dae them

The best evidence, would be that if she really has lost her sanity, she'd attack us too without provocation, which hasn't happened at all

On that point, she's a really bad actor

Though she seems really confident that she hasn't been found out, that's still pretty naive for her

But, this is where I should play along with her ploy

「Ge, geh!! Milierated, Master――》

I got penalized by Ciel for that

See as I was going to have to deal with so Michael's abilities anyway, I went ahead and prepared soainst domination type abilities beforehand

Which naturally, has been disseminated to not just Milim, but all of the other demon lords as well

This is pretty obvious already, as this ain't a ga our fallen allies beco to deal with

As a counterot Guy to teach us the『Mind Power』technique

What this『Mind Power』does, is that it sis resist abilities such as "King's Rule" as long as the being in question isn't under heavy pressure; this even has Ciel's seal of approval

This technique has an almost equal level of performance as Ciel's “Mind Protect”

That hy, if it was under normal circumstances there wouldn't even be a need to worry But if Milis would obviously be different

Here I was expecting the worst and hurried over

Only to be needlessly worrying myself

It seems like Milim has a plan of so to fall under the control of "King's Rule"

I'll listen to what she is planning to do later, time to decide how to deal with Lucia

Ciel did say she has a plan to get around that "Castle Guard", sees will end without too an "hostilities" with Milim

But that Mili, I knew that she was doing this purposefully

She ht me for real

How "troublesoan her assault unto me, I too drew my katana and received her attack

Sparks flee furiously exchanged blows I couldn't even see her movements in the past, so I was honestly surprised withspace

If it was the old le attack, which would have also greatly drained my stamina

Now there was no difference in the level of our weapons, and I have simply powered up physically As expected of a body that is sion"

I have now becoainst Mili at us, our furious exchanges would look as though we are going at it seriously

But, I could tell

That even Milim hasn't put in any real effort, not yet

Just as I have one, Miliic Generator" that can be used as a Status Booster

For ies of『Void God Azathoth』's “Turn Null” Said energy would be regulated from within the void space, it is then possible to "inject" that energy into ic Essence, that y

It works si reached a similar level, I now felt like I could understand the secrets to as previously seen as unreasonable

Well that should be the gist of it, and as ere battling it out with our techniques

『Are we connected noonder Hey Rie suddenly

See to establish a “Secret Telepathy” connection with me, all while still in combat with me

That is another form of telepathic communication, as Milim wasn't connected to h" so to speak, if she wanted to use it

It was also possible with the norer of theheard by unwanted third parties would increase

To summarize, if you wanted to make use of “Secret Telepathy”, it would take some time and preparation

It seems like Milim has been pretty cautious for awhile now, so as not to let her movements be picked up by our enemies

This is all still under the pretext that she was doed

『Yep I can hear you So how long should I keep up with this act of yours?』

『Wahahahaha! As expected of Riot doht I was doerated reaction of mine was taken for real it seems

Looks like I really underestimated how simple Milim is

『That ain't it! Wasn't it really obvious, and very purposeful!?』

『Eh!? Ah, right That's right, I totally noticed that yea!

――anyways, enough of that

Back to business, I got a favor to ask Frey and her underlings went and got beaten by Lucia's flunkies earlier

Though I don't think it's anything worrying, can you go tend to them? 』

『Nn? Got it』

And Milim tried to cover up her "blunder"

I overlooked that with uards were defeated Maybe Milied

They probably aren't as injured as Milim made them out to be, as she had already said

(Diablo, can you hear o tend to Frey and co's wounds)

(Then, I shall delegate the task to Testa and the others

As of now, I have just received the els have been dealt with)

Eh, already? That's way too fast!

Aren't those 4 angels, on par with awakened de that I could only think of the awakened dele awakened deht just be what Veldora-san's point of view is like This al around picking fights with any other being

Not like I would go around doing so as childish as that, neither do I need to

(Is that so, I'll leave that to you then So, are you heading to my position then?

(Yes I aht then, standby as you are for now Don't be letting that angel Lucia sense your presence)

(Of course!)

Fumu

Now that I think about it Seems like Ciel has noticed his presence, but I don't notice him if I don't concentrate on hi actually happens

『Looks like there aren't any probles』
