Door Matt

Vs Dagruel Part 4

The battle between

Albert and Grasword grew more intense.

Because each of the

commanders were fighting, the chain of command ceased in it’s functioning, as

such, the troops fell into disorder.

However, such a matter

was a trifling issue for the commanders in question――

Both of them had

recognized the other as a worthy opponent and were enjoying the battle.

「

Kakakakakaka! Quite the

skill you have there, you amazed me.

To have a chance to

cross swords with a person like you, it is a great honor as a warrior!

」

「

This is not by my skill.

Only by these, the

equipment which was given to me by my master Rimuru, that have granted me such

strength.

If it was with my former

equipment, I would already be defeated without being able to so much as endure

the pressure of your sword.

」

Albert calmly turned

aside Grasword’s praise.

It was true, however it

was only by Albert’s ability that the power of the God grade equipment was

drawn out.

「

Ha! No need to be

humble. Amongst the Giants, there are only a few who can fight me.

Although we were going

to do a pincer attack on Demon Lord Ruminas’ army with the angels

――the situation

is now beyond our control.

However, defeating one

of the enemy generals is also an important duty. Since there is no lack of

opponents!!

Yet…… still, my younger

brother Fenn really picked the short straw.

Even though he was this

precious opportunity where he can rampage as much as he wants, he received a

weak magician as his opponent.

Certainly knowledge is

wonderful, as a person that man may have a favorable impression, however……

Because we have

『

Magic

Nullity

』

, a magician is utterly useless.

」

He exclaimed so whilst

brandishing his Great Sword.

He planned to make

Albert, who was worried about his master, become agitated by his words. A small

mistake would lead to death. It was an excellent tactic to induce unrest to the

mind of his opponent.

On the other hand, Albert,

without changing his expression――

「

It seems you are clearly

misunderstanding something.

Certainly, I, as the

guard of Adalman-sama, am the one in charge of the vanguard.

However, I would like to

ask you to not forget this――

Adalman-sama, as one of

the 12 Guardian Lords of Rimuru-sama, is far stronger than me!

You understand what that

means, right?

」

He said that and denied

Grasword’s words.

Grasword muttered “Ho?”,

and raised one of his eyebrows.

Then he suddenly raise

his sword over his head without speaking further.

His strategy to provoke

his opponent seemed to have failed, then, in that case he will just beat him

from the front. Grasword decided on such a plain and simple tactic.

「

Fufufu, is that so? In

that case it’s good that Fenn will truly enjoy his battle.

Oh well. Then I shall

accomplish my duty!

」

And so the intense sword

fight restarted.

Their clash reached the

climax, before long the two payed no attention to their surroundings, focusing

their minds only on their swords.

Being thrown to the

ground, Adalman felt that his consciousness was about to disappear for an

instant.

He could understand

exactly what had occurred. He was able to see the moment the enemy had jumped,

matching the timing of the activation of his magic.

Adalman prioritized the

incantation of the great magic in order to overturn the situation of the

battle.

Even though he could

invoke the magic without the chant, it was limited to the image of what he had

experienced before.

As for the great magic

that he was about to use, He considered that chanting was necessary in order to

invoke it successfully, once he had ascertained the situation.

This reasoning came

about because he wanted to use his recovered energy effectively. Especially

since, after he had invoked the great magic at the beginning, he had kept on

invoking spells one after the other.

That

wa

s why he thought that it

wouldn

’

t be amusing if

the magic incantation that he had been working on, was interrupted part-way, so

he focused his concentration on the invocation of said spell.

He had decided such only

because he was confident with his defenses against physical attacks, yet……

The enemy

’

s ability seemed to have

surpassed what Adalman had expected.

His multiple barriers

were all broken through, hardly even one of his defensive measures showed any

effect. If not for that one defensive measure, there

wa

s a possibility that

Adalman would have received a fatal blow at that moment.

Though, it

’

s kind of strange to say

that he, who is already dead, would receive a fatal wound again.

(How!? For him to

penetrate my magic barriers as if he was ignoring them, does that mean that

this guy

’

s ability is

actually

『

Magic Nullity

』

!?)

Adalman had arrived to

the correct answer instantly.

It was fortunate that

what Gadra had hinted at before came into his mind.

If that

’

s the case, he was

correct in preparing a defensive measure other than magic.

(Oh well. After all,

this magic will have exhausted my magic power.

Whether it

’

s

『

Magic

Nullity

』

or anything else, it already doesn

’

t matter! Rather it

’

s convenient for me.)

Though he can

’

t be said to be

unharmed, his plan had succeeded.

The great magic that

Adalman had chanted activated without any problems.

The invoked magic was

called Immortal Legion.

[1]

One of the ultimate

magics that have a wide area of effect.

Just like the word

“Legion” in the spell name suggests, it was the highest level forbidden spell

of Undead Magic which uses and turns the dead into soldiers.

The magic transforms and

turns the dead in this battle, regardless whether they were allies or enemies,

into soldiers faithful to his command.

Giants have a high

regeneration power and don’t die easily.

Because superficial

injuries would be restored by themselves, it was necessary to destroy them

completely.

Therefore there was the

need to wait for corpses to build up in the battlefield…… Watching the state of

the battlefield, Adalman had decided that it was the time to use the spell.

For that reason he had

concentrated in order to chant the magic.

The bodies of the giants

scattered on the ground were combined by the huge magic formation that appeared

in the sky and on the ground into several lumps of flesh.

Then limbs appeared from

the lumps of flesh, and 4m tall giants were born.

Death Giants, that were

one size larger than the Death Knights.

Their fighting power

greatly surpassed the power they had whilst alive. Not only from their body

’

s own properties, they

also had enormous energy as the souls of the death giants gathered as one.

Originally, they would

lose their regeneration ability when they become zombie, but this trait is kept

as is.

They were reborn as

monsters with fighting power Over A rank which surpasses even the Death

Knights.

Though, since there were

many bodies which weren’t completely usable, the number of the created Death

Giants were only about 1.000, but it

wa

s plenty sufficient.

The created Death Giants

attacked the other giants who were their former comrades.

Even though Adalman’s

magic power had run out after using Healing Rain, he already stood up as if

there was no problem.

Once he had glanced

around for an instant and made sure that the Death Giant had begun to rampage,

he turned his eyes to Fenn who was trampling upon his army.

「

Wenti,

are you okay?

」

「

Yes,

I have been careless――

」

Wenti who quietly turned

into her human form, answered Adalman’s question.

Although it was true

that she had received severe damage, her recovery finished at the same time she

transformed herself into human form.

It was only usable once

a day, but the super recovery is activated due to the change of her body

constitution.

「

No,

no, you’re not careless, it’s just that that small stature giant is strong.

You’re being alright is

more important.

From what I see, that

giant has a body with unbelievably dense energy.

Looks like he has holy

attribute, magic won

’

t

work on him.

Had we not change our

attribute into holy attribute, we would have been purified.

」

Adalman spoke of the

facts plainly.

Like a magician, Adalman’s

eyes, which looked at Fenn, were like those of a researcher.

(Even so―― That giant is

too strong)

Combat Speed,

destructive power, and defense power.

Looking from many

aspects, he

‘

s top class, if

you only see the amount of his energy, he

’

s equal to a True Dragon.

Even if Adalman sent

Giant Skeletons (Big Skeleton Knight) against him, they would only be smashed

up.

「

Good

grief. It seems that it’s time for my long trained body.

」

「

Ha?

」

At Adalman’s confusing

words, the Death Dragon Wenti, who had pledged her loyalty to Adalman, let out

a questioning voice.

Not to mention body,

Adalman doesn’t even have flesh. He can only be the so-called ‘skeleton’.

Answering Wenti

’

s question,

「

It

seems that I haven’t told you about it. When I took the position of ‘great

priest’, my job was different.

Originally, I was a

high-ranking class of priest and martial artist which was called Holy Fist Monk

[2]

.

Because there was

Albert, who is an excellent vanguard, I didn’t need to perform close range

combat.

When I fought against

you before, I didn’t think that it would be effective against you who had no

human form, so there were no opportunities to show my skills, you see.

」

「

E,

well. But that…… you don’t say, you intend to fight against that giant

barehanded?

」

「

What,

is there a problem?

」

“Errr, aren’t there

various problems though?”

Or so Wenti thought, but

she couldn’t say it strongly.

She was his long time

acquaintance, but she had never seen Adalman’s figure as that of someone who

had trained his body.

“Well, is there any

meaning to train as a skeleton?” so, she was troubled whether to even ask about

it.

「

No,

there’s……

」

Wenti couldn’t answer.

(For Adalman-sama who

seems to be an intellectual, unexpectedly――

）

She stopped thinking

further about it and turned her eyes towards the rampaging Fenn.

「

All

right. Then, I will tell you the strategy.

As magic doesn’t work,

hit with physical attacks. It’s just that.

Even your breath, which

could cause magic essence diversion, would be treated as magic.

Therefore, you and me,

who have no means with which to attack, our compatibility with him is horrible.

So, here’s a suggestion.

」

Saying so, Adalman began

to talk about his plan, it was something outside of Wenti’s imagination.

However, Wenti, who

believes in Adalman, agreed without any hesitation.

「

I

leave the rest to you, Adalman-sama. May fortune be with you!

」

So she replied with that

answer as she relaxed her body.

The plan that Adalman

proposed was, assimilation with possession.

Originally, Adalman, as

a ghost, is more like a spiritual lifeform.

It could be said that

his current state is merely him possessing his dead body (skeleton). The reason

is because he needs a temporary body in order to have influence in the physical

world.

Therefore, he can easily

perform possession. If Wenti doesn’t resist him, it would certainly succeed.

The problem was, it was

unknown whether they could separate or not.

「

Be

relieved. Even if I possess you, it doesn’t mean your consciousness will

disappear.

In the worst case, we’ll

ask Rimuru-sama to prepare you a new body!]

And so, Adalman

possessed Wenti.

A Death Dragon has a

strong body, high magical power, and energy. In addition to that, is Adalman’s

own magic power.

The possession

succeeded, a young man with black hair, clad in jet-black priest clothes, made

his appearance.

「

Fumu,

it was a success.

」

(As expected of

Adalman-sama!)

The two became one in

mind and body.

With a strong body and

possessing enormous magic power, it

wa

s the youth figure of

“

Gehenna Lord

”

Adalman―― though there

were some differences such as the hair color being different and etc.

(Fufu, I’m excited after

a long time. If it’s in this state, I might have a good fight against

Zegion-dono.

I seem to have become an

equal with Ultima-jou

[3]

.)

In his skeleton state,

he recalled that he couldn’t have an exchange of fists with his friend.

And so, a fearless smile

floated on his face as he flew towards the rampaging giant.

He didn’t believe that

he could beat the giant as it was now. But he could buy some time.

Besides, though the

giant in front of him is an incarnation of violence, it doesn’t seem that he

has high skills like the one fighting against Albert.

Although the giant has

energy comparable to a True Dragon, he can only rampaging without reason.

For him to aim at

Adalaman first may have been because he had reacted towards the one having the

highest energy in the army.

(In that case, we might

just defeat him if we perform well.)

(It will naturally be

possible, if it’s Adalaman-sama!)

Reacting to Wenti’s

thought in his mind, though Adalman was slightly surprised, he nodded frankly.

(That’s so, that’s

right! Because I am one of Rimuru-sama’s strongest subordinates.)

And so he charged towards

Fenn while laughing happily.

The “Seven Celestial

Sages” had finished the reconnaissance mission and reported it to Demon Lord

Ruminas.

Afterwards, they

followed Ruminas who came to the outer district area in order to confront the

giants.

And so they would

encounter a surprising situation.

There exists a knight

who can fight Grasword, who has been called the strongest ‘Sword King’ that

ever existed, on equal terms.

The attack of Ruminas,

who is their master whom they adore and respect, hadn’t worked against Demon

Lord Dagruel.

And the last thing, a

person, with a nostalgic face that they remember seeing somewhere, having

started a battle against a rampaging giant who was like a berserker, on equal

terms.

These three events were

things that happened almost at the same time.

「

What,

what the heck is this!

」

「

To

be fighting evenly against the Sword King, who is that knight?

」

「

This

bad, this is bad! As it is now, Ruminas-sama will lose!!

」

「

Hey,

wait. That person, surely――

」

「

Adalman,

isn

’

t he Adalman!!

」

「

Really!?

Then, that knight is Albert!!

」

「

Those

two are Demon Lord Rimuru

’

s

subordinates!? What the heck is this joke!?

」

Thinking at the same

time, the “Seven Celestial Sages” exchanged the information each of them found.

And sharing all of the

information at once, they were wrapped in surprise.

Adalman and Albert were

famous in the past.

Adalman who was the

Great Priest was a talented master of Holy Magic.

Then, Albert was the

strongest Holy Knight of the previous generation.

The two were people who

had the qualifications to become the Hero. But the Hero’s egg hadn’t dwelled

inside either of them.

Normally, they’d become

sages. And, as it was, they’d eventually become saints.

If they couldn’t be the

Hero, they only became unnecessary people for the “Seven Celestial Sages”.

Furthermore, they were both too much of geniuses.

They hadn’t accepted

Ruminas’s Mind Rule, as they were affiliated to the church of Ingrasia Kingdom

without staying in the Holy Capital.

In other words,

according to the “Seven Celestial Sages” the two had been a two-edged sword.

In ability, the two

could become strong individuals which could threaten them, or worst, the two

could become existences that would even jeopardize their position.

Although the two hadn’t

seemed to notice the existence of Demon Lord Ruminas, it was certain that the

two had some kind of doubts about it.

Whilst admitting the

ability of those two, to they who wouldn’t become their comrades

――

The “Seven Celestial

Sages” had manipulated the Pope and ordered for them to do the purification of

a large-scale undead disaster.

It was officially

announced as an indirect subjugation request, but the two people had strong

senses of justice and bit the bait splendidly.

The two willingly went

to Great Jura Forest.

And there, the two would

perish while bringing down the Dragon Zombie together as the “Seven Celestial

Sages” had planned, or it should have been.

「

It

can’t be, for him to be alive……

」

It was the same thought

for all of the “Seven Celestial Sages”.

「

Well,

what should we do? That’s the question.

」

「

Right

now, it’s almost impossible to defeat Adalman and Albert.

」

「

Besides,

in this situation we don’t have such free time as to have internal conflict.

」

「

That

is so……

」

「

It

would be excellent if the two beat both of the giants. If they lose, we won’t

be safe.

」

「

That’s

right. We are to only help the princess.

」

「

I

agree. About those two, let’s think about it after they survive.

」

The “Seven Celestial

Sages” decided on their plan.

Without using any

underhanded plans as the situation was a pressing one.

They threw away their

wicked thoughts and moved to attack the enemy as according to the initial plan.

They had, in their own

ways, began their action in order to help Demon Lord Ruminas who is their

respected and adored master.
