Vs Dagruel Part 6
Shion's innerry at having been toyed with by Dagruel, as though she stood no chance whatsoever
Her rage, as she watched her Elite Guard fall one after another
Her feelings of powerlessness and dises all of these emotions, except envy which has swelled up, and restrains her re self, who si the with her soul
Is it good or is it bad That itself, is not the point
What really important is whether she can suppress it or not
These swirling emotions within her, were but a hindrance to Shion
But, the thorn of envy which was supposed to have disappeared, interferes with her thoughts regardless, as though stabbing at her heart
Shion has always thought of being the number one most important existence to Demon Lord Rimuru But, that is simply self conceit But it was also because she understood this euish her envy towards other beings that were stronger than herself or showed greater promise
But even so――
Shion has put into practice, the act of accepting things for what they are
As per Ri the true nature of everything with your soul
As a result, though it didn't cause any drastic changes, Shion's true nature underwent a placid change
She now fully understands her own strength that is not swayed by her emotions, her own true worth
With the exception of the thorn of envy, all of Shion's rehts are now clearly unified
It was a e, not a physical one
Shion's evolution was occurring in a an
Her soul understood right after that Just how unfathoruel really was
When they firstappearance, lied a furious raging soul
It can also be said, that seeing her ideal, the ultiave Shion the shivers
If she was to think about it calmly, the fact that the difference in power between herself and Dagruel was decisive, it was all too obvious that this wasn't a ainst him or not
But, even so
The word "retreat" does not exist in Shion's dictionary
Riy is flawless That is how itas there are no further orders, she has no reason to fall back That, hat Shion thought
Purely believing in Ri her orders to the letter
In a sense, one could say she has stopped thinking But, to Shion, Ri that ive orders without some foriven, all I need is to do what I was ordered to)
This hy, Shion shows no fear in the face of death, and holds the lines with the resolve of not retreating
Ruminas' cooperation was mostly unexpected
The prideful va herself at risk
With as much wisdom she had, she more than understood how iht, that Ruminas should have already fled from this battlefield, if she already knew that much
(This is really unexpected If I was alone, I should have been taken out of the picture long ago
Demon Lord Ruminas, is my impression of her hts surfaced briefly, but Shion quickly shoved that to the back of her head
Shion doesn't have the elbowroohts, she fully understood that
At any rate, now that she has crossed swords with hi up his sleeves
If he were to really get serious, she would be sed up by that power all too easily, that hat it felt like to Shion
If so, her objective would be to resist as much as she possibly could, so as to properly understand the true essence of that power
With that fire in an alruel, whose essence was similar to her own
Shion brandishes her blade, to carve into her own soul the forruel
And so, the cycle repeats as Ruminas revives her――
――The World’s Time stopped――
Before Shion's consciousness, lied a world without color
“Not yet! It's not over yet!!”
She tried to open her mouth with the intention to roar out as such, but Shion's body showed no response
Her body was stopped where she was, unable to stand up Rather, she was unable to even open her mouth
As this happened, the thorn of『Envy』which has been a nuisance to Shion's eed in her Core (heart) which caused all her eh it just went and disappeared
As the saon" Velzard awakened the Ulti Shion knows of, and it wasn't so, was that the eone now, that was all
(As expected of Ri!)
This was but Shion ju to conclusions, but it was the truth to Shion
Elation and yearning filled Shion's heart, and what felt like an unbelievable amount of poelled out from within
Pure unbridled violence
The power to destroy
Irrelevant to good and evil, the Tyrant's Power
《Individual: Shion undergo ability evolution, Ultimate Skill『Tyrannous Lord Susanoo』was acquired》
The voice of the world resounded
Shortly after, Shion's consciousness returned
She was in the colorless world still, but she has no problenizance
In place of sound, an individual's will is transmitted directly Which meant, that words are not needed
In this Frozen World, which is governed by its own set of special "rules", Shion started to adapt immediately
Ultimate Skill『Tyrannous Lord Susanoo』, made that possible
The foundations of her skill evolution were more than sufficient
(Much appreciated, Riht of Shion's evolution
Even though she has only just obtained Ultimate Skill『Tyrannous Lord Susanoo』, it easily became fully optimized, and was "fitted" onto Shion
For Shion who has constantly been evolving her y was all too easy
In fact, it was because this was possible, that she awakened to this ability
Mind over body
Thus, with the evolution of her
She is now a Co which specializes in physical coenerate its physical body But, has attacks that are capable of destroying the opposition's soul
Shion has evolved into what can be called the Natural Eney Creature)[1]
She y borrowed from Veldora, to compensate for what she could not ain , Shion recreates her own body Into a body that is optimized and purely made for combat
She notices at thispower from Veldora
Her consciousness which felt like it was , now felt refreshed as though under a clear blue sky
Shion has now fully awakened
Shion takes her stance, with her beloved katana "True: Hercules’ Edge[2]"
「I have kept you waiting However, as you hoped for, I shall give you soruel, in a polite ruel and Shion's true battle begins
A flash of blades crossing
That was but a metaphor, as such phenoht
But, this was the only appropriate way to describe as happening, as Shion's swings assault Dagruel
Hardening his body beyond the hardness of diaruel receives the attack with his two ar froround
Dagruel opened his eyes wide
In this Stopped World, the air won’t get vibrated
As there is no y transmissions do not happen
It is now a situation where one would need to push their way through the molecules with their own bodies
Which alsooff the ground I into the earth, which results in what just happened to Dagruel at this moment
The laws of physics do not apply in this Frozen World
As for the laws of ic, it is impossible to activate almost every known type
It's obvious, that combat in such special circuue, releasing excessive amounts of his power, and pushed back Shion's katana Inversely, this tiround
The two continued exchanges between blade and fist, and slowly both sides naturally grasped the nature of how coruel followed his instincts, while Shion learnt from the situations that happened
The battle intensified
It wasn't just the appearance that looked intense, the invisible battle between abilities was taken into account too
Dagruel, had no Ultimate Skill of his own
His existence alone can be called "Ultions
His fists alone could cause destruction on levels that warp the laws of physics, the special vibrations caused would interfere with the earth and the at in storms of destruction
But, even such special powers, held noin this Frozen World
「Shion, I have no clue how long that sister ofto stop time
What's definite, is that your chance at victory is only possible within this Frozen World, that alone
When tiruel's poill come into effect Keep that in mind」
Veldora's words, were delivered telepathically to Shion
「My gratitude for the advice Veldora-saave her thanks, but in truth she did not understand the realof those words
But, on a instinctual level she recognized the danger
As of now, the destructive vibrations in Dagruel's fists, only affect the area that it hits That was the reason how Shion is battling on equal footing with Dagruel, as she is responding on that assumption
But, it was very likely what Veldora's words ruel's attacks are able to connect in a wider area when time is not stopped, thatconclusive unless she took a hit for confirine
That's not so anybody would want to test out
With the intent of a short decisive battle, Shion increased her swinging speed one ruel with his hardened body, repels Shion's katana with his bare hands
「Hou, having exchanged this many bloith ruel commended Shion's katana which was unblemished
His praise was not empty, and Shion also felt that he meant what he said
「Naturally This beloved katana of iven to me from Rimuru-sama
I pour my heart and soul into it every day, you can call it another part of my body at this point」
Just as Shion said, she polishes her katana daily, and it has beco it a part of her body is no exaggeration, as "True: Hercules’ Edge" also evolved into the God class together with Shion's evolution
It was because of this that it is iruel's Weapon Destruction ability, but this should be called good luck for Shion
And, as really lucky, would be the similitude of their abilities
Shion's ability, which could be called the natural ene the effects through her nory The effect activates even if the attack is blocked
In addition, along with the fact that she is capable of converting the energy borrowed froy that is plundered
Though she has an upper liy to cover for her own losses
It can be said this ability further exemplified Shion's immortal status
And finally, as per the na able to control any kind of riotous Energy, is what should be said to be the true worth of Shion's ability
For Shion to be able to even properly exist before a being such as Dagruel who is a y, is precisely thanks to the abilities of the awakened『Tyrannous Lord Susanoo』
In coruel's very existence is a supernatural phenomena
Hardened Defense・Weapon Destruction・Existence Destruction・Magic Inore Defense――
These, are but so
Under norruel is utterly suicidal
Transcending physical and ical elements, an existance likened to a God of Destruction That, was Dagruel
