Chapter 878: Careless Trap; Finally Meeting Rudra
Chapter 878: Careless Trap; Finally Meeting Rudra
There was a gleam of brilliance in Rimuru's pale golden eyes. As long as he killed the two people who were cleaning up the battlefield, the operation would be successful.
God is really helping me!
Afterwards, Rimuru led the four of them towards the location of the two higher beings.
At this time, Diablo, who was following behind Rimuru, had a thoughtful look in his eyes when he sensed the only two remaining auras.
However, since Rimuru-sama has given the order, there is no need to think about it.
Moreover, even if there is an accident, with their strength, if they want to leave, the "Empire" will not be able to stop them.
Even if the 'Emperor of the Empire' and the dragon took action personally, it would be the same.
At least, Diablo has this confidence.
Following the guidance, Rimuru and his companions arrived at the location of the operation, where Yuuki Kagura and Rudra had previously confronted each other.
It is also the location where the 'Kagurazaka Yuuki' coup failed.
Feeling the two strong auras inside the 'building', Rimuru was certain that these two were most likely the knights with single-digit serial numbers in the so-called 'Emperor's Royal Guard'.
He is truly a chess piece in Rudra's hands, and is also her main target in her plan to infiltrate the empire.
Very good. After they kill the two Sequence Knights, they can activate the teleportation array and return home.
Two 'Awakening'-level warriors, and more than thirty immortal-level sequence knights, they are making a huge profit!
Thinking of this, the corners of Rimuru's mouth subconsciously rose slightly, revealing a happy smile.
At this time, Diablo, who was following behind Rimuru, sensed the two human auras inside the "building", which were not weak but not much stronger, and frowned slightly.
But still didn't say much.
After all, we have come this far, we can’t let go of the duck that is already in our mouths!
And seriously speaking, based on the strength of the two people in the 'building', there is no need for all five of them to go out together. 'Diablo' alone can easily take down the two of them.
However, it is obvious that Lord Rimuru wants to take action himself, so I should not be the first to take action.
After all, Diablo understood the principle of "the first bird to stick its head out gets shot".
A moment later, after the five people secretly sneaked in, they also arrived inside the building.
"It seems this is where 'Kaguriba Yuuki', that guy, staged his coup."
Looking at the mess here and the few familiar auras left behind, Rimuru sighed subconsciously.
At this time, Rimuru was also very sure that this place was 100% the place where Yuuki Kaguraita launched the coup.
Moreover, it seems that the coup launched by 'Yuuki Kaguraita' was quite violent, and even the top and second-in-command of the 'Empire' were brought in.
Hmm. Two 'Catastrophe-level' beings attacked together. Looking at this, it seems that their defeat was not unfair!
It has to be said that 'Kaguraita Yuuki' can be considered a number one figure.
It’s actually possible to let these two people take action personally!
Never mind. This matter has nothing to do with her anyway.
Or rather, Rimuru was quite happy about this.
After all, both 'Yuuki Kaguraita' and 'Rudra' are enemies of 'Rimuru', and whoever wins or loses will benefit.
However, 'Kaguraita Yuuki' was too weak and didn't cause much damage to the other party!
Never mind. Never mind. Planning is important, planning is important!
With Rimuru's investigation, he also found one of the two candidates for this operation.
Looking at the young man not far away who was wearing knight's clothes and exuding a strong and sharp aura, Rimuru's light golden eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity, but followed by joy.
The strength of the person in front of him was definitely above the 'Sage Level', and was even not inferior to 'Hinata Sakaguchi', the leader of the Holy Knights of the 'Holy Empire'.
No wonder he is qualified to be ranked in the single-digit sequence among the 'Emperor's Guard Knights'.
It’s really not easy!
But what about the other one?
Rimuru knew that under the perception of the 'King of Wisdom', he could sense the auras of two superior beings here!
This is just one person.
Everything needs to be done with caution!
Don't be careless!
"Leave this man to me and Benimaru. Diablo, you, Testarossa, and Xiao, go find and kill the other Sequence Knight!"
Rimuru turned around and gave instructions to Diablo, Testarossa, and Xiao who were following behind him.
With her and Benimaru's strength, it was enough to kill this 'Sequence Knight', and there was no need to put all their combat power here.
Diablo, Testarossa, and Xiao are more than capable of killing the other one. It can even be said that they are wasting their talents!
With the alliance of these three, Rimuru even thought he could compete with the Empire's Emperor Rudra or the Empire's Marshal, the Scorching Dragon Velgrind!
Two 'Original Demons' of the 'Demon King' level and a... huh? A 'True Demon King' of extraordinary strength!
Yes. It can indeed compete with the 'Catastrophe Grade'.
In this way, the probability of failure on my side may be higher.
Never mind. It doesn't matter.
She just didn't believe that even if she and 'Hongwan' joined forces, they couldn't kill a 'saint-level' being!
Moreover, they don't fight head-on, but instead launch a sneak attack!
Afterwards, under Rimuru's arrangement, Diablo and the other two rushed towards the direction of another Sequence Knight who was in the building.
After watching Diablo and the other two leave, Rimuru slowly turned his gaze towards the knight not far away.
"Benimaru, are you ready?"
Rimuru spoke quietly but seriously to Benimaru who was standing beside him.
"Rimuru-sama, we are ready!"
Hong Wan looked at the knight not far away who exuded a powerful aura, and a hint of fighting spirit and regret flashed in his eyes.
Seriously speaking, Benimaru really wants to compete with this human, but..., this is a war after all, not a duel between warriors, and it is not a place where fairness is required.
At this moment, the Sequence Knights involved were carefully monitoring the surrounding situation.
Just as Rimuru thought, he was indeed a knight with a single-digit serial number in the Imperial Guard.
His name is Marco, serial number is 'Eight' and he is a loyal knight loyal to the 'Emperor'.
Just as Marco was carefully inspecting the place, a deadly and dangerous aura came from behind him.
Marco subconsciously drew the long sword from his waist to block, but he was still slightly inferior and was chopped away.
Looking at the mysterious man in a black robe not far away, Marco's eyes did not contain any fear or dread, but were instead filled with passion and cunning.
"You're quite strong. You were able to block my sword."
Benimaru placed his sword on his shoulder and said something in surprise as he looked at Marco who easily blocked his attack.
You have to know that Hongmaru's knife was aimed at Marco's neck just now, but he actually blocked it.
As expected, it is worthy of being a single-digit existence in the Empire's 'Emperor's Guard Knights'.
"Benimaru, let's work together to take him down. Time is running out, or else something bad will happen!"
Just as Benimaru was about to say something, Rimuru's voice came from behind him.
“Yes. Rimuru-sama!”
Hong Wan's face was full of helplessness, but he didn't say much. After all, it was just as Rimuru said, this was someone else's territory, and if he delayed, something bad would happen!
Meanwhile, Marco, who was standing on the opposite side, did not feel any fear or dread at all due to the appearance of 'Rimuru'. Instead, the cunning look in his eyes became more intense.
Meanwhile, Benimaru and Rimuru, who were standing on the opposite side of Marco, also noticed that something was amiss.
"As your Majesty said, some little rats have snuck into the empire!"
Marco's words were filled with admiration and passion for the 'Rudra' he was referring to.
After hearing Marco's words, Rimuru's face changed drastically, and he realized that something was wrong.
They might have been fooled!
"Are you still going to watch the show there, Tatsuya Kondo?"
Marco shouted to the empty back.
In the darkness shrouded by shadows, a middle-aged man in military uniform slowly walked out, exuding a cold aura from head to toe.
It was none other than Tatsuya Kondo, the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau and a member of the Imperial Guard Knights, whose serial number was in the single digits.
After hearing this name, Rimuru's pupils shrank slightly in shock. How could he not have heard of Kondo Tatsuya's name!
"Tatsuya Kondo"!
A knight of the 'Empire' sequence, the director of the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, and a warrior who defends the imperial power, a truly important figure in the empire!
"be cheated!"
Even if Rimuru was slow-witted at this point, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
"Rimuru-sama, I'll cover your retreat! You go first!"
Benimaru looked at 'Kondo Tatsuya' opposite him, his eyes full of fear. This man... is very strong!
Compared to the knight beside him, he is countless times more powerful.
At least in Benimaru's memory, there aren't many beings that are superior to him!
"One of the leaders of the Demonic Federation, one of the current Nine Heavens Rulers, the 'Rising Star Demon Lord' Rimuru Tempest. He really caught a big fish."
"No one of you can leave today, not just the two of you, but also the three guys who left."
After hearing what Benimaru said, Kondo Tatsuya’s cold eyes as he looked towards Rimuru flashed a little.
Apparently, even he didn't realize that 'Rimuru' would actually infiltrate the 'Empire' himself.
"What do you mean?"
After hearing what Kondo Tatsuya said, Rimuru's eyes narrowed and he asked coldly.
Before Kondo Tatsuya could respond, a magic circle large enough to cover the entire building lit up from the ground.
When Rimuru saw the magic circle flashing with blue light and the familiar space distortion and fluctuation, he realized at a glance that this was the 'Space Teleportation Magic Circle'!
"His Majesty and the Marshal want to see you. Please come with us!"
Kondo Tatsuya said calmly and coldly.
As these words fell, the space teleportation array covering the entire building was fully activated, and Rimuru and Benimaru completely disappeared from the place where 'Kaguribata Yuuki' launched the coup.
Following a spatial distortion, Rimuru and Benimaru were directly teleported to an unfamiliar place.
Accompanying them were Diablo, Testarossa, and Xiao, who had recently been sent by Rimuru to hunt down other Sequence Knights.
Diablo, Testarossa, and Xiao, who were suddenly transported here, looked at Rimuru and Benimaru beside them without feeling the slightest bit overwhelmed.
Because the three of them have already realized that they have fallen into a trap.
This is a room similar to a hall.
The room was extremely gorgeous, and one could tell at a glance that the people meeting here were of high status, either rich or noble.
A red blanket with a golden border was neatly spread in the center of the hall.
At this time, at the end of the blanket, a person dressed in gorgeous clothes was sitting on an expensive chair, and next to him stood a beautiful woman with long blue hair wearing a black cheongsam, exuding an overwhelmingly powerful aura.
Dozens of knights stood on both sides of the two men, and the auras of several of the riders were no weaker than those of the 'Awakening' level warriors.
Rimuru looked at the man sitting on the chair at the end and the woman beside him, his eyes full of fear.
“Emperor Rudra and Scorching Dragon Velgrind!”
Rimuru stared at the two people not far away and slowly uttered these words.
After hearing these two names, Xiao, who was standing next to Rimuru, subconsciously took out his Wapiti and protected Rimuru and the others behind him.
Xiao was not the only one who had the same idea. The other three also drew their weapons, stepped forward, and protected Rimuru behind them.
Rudra sneered as he watched this scene. Kondo Tatsuya, whom Rimuru had just met, stood quietly beside Rudra.
On the other hand, Velgrendo was quietly guarding Rudra who was sitting on the chair like a virtuous wife.
Even though she knew that Rudra's strength did not require her protection.
"This is truly beyond my expectations! I never imagined that you, the leader of the Demonic Nation, would actually set foot in the Empire and leave the protection of the Martial God."
"That's fine, though. While I can't talk to that lord, it's still quite interesting to talk to you, the 'Rising Star Demon Lord'."
Rudra's words were plain, but they were filled with the majesty of a superior.
