Chapter 1041 - [The Fated Holy War] 29/?: A Slime's Might! Rimuru VS Ana

-----

A young and beautiful girl glanced at her surroundings in surprise and concern.

Her beautiful facial features made her look like a doll, her short emerald hair was beautiful, and it seemed as if it was really made by the mineral of the same name, and her sharp yellow-gold eyes flashed with bright light.

Her facial expression seemed shocked though.

She wore beautiful clothes, light armor, a skirt, and tight stockings, she was Ana, the main long-distance fighter of the group Isaac. An energetic girl that was often leading the kids in the streets, but that Isaac took care of until she grew attached to him.

She wielded a large bow imbued with many elements, although her great divinity exuded the power of wind within her.

"Where am I? What happened- Eh?!"

Ana was greeted by the sight of a beautiful slime girl in front of her!

Her pale-blue aquamarine skin, her long and watery hair exuding rainbow colors as reflections, and her long and blue dress… she had large and wide hips, and even larger breasts, her beauty was charming to even a girl like her… However, within those beautiful jewel-like rainbow-colored eyes, there was certainly a strong bloodthirst towards her, which made Ana instinctively move backward!

"I am Rimuru Dark Moon! Nice to meetcha, guu! Now, we are going to fight to the death! What's your name?" she asked.

"T-To the death?! Wait… You're Rimuru?! One of Kireina's wives…! And… the strongest!" muttered Ana in utter terror. Alongside Isaac, she had researched Kireina and her wives as much as possible.

In every record, there was, Rimuru was said to be the strongest wife and even subordinate… Her power was immense, and she even was said to have been Kireina's first summoned monster, and the one that accompanied her even while she was a butterfly!

How were the gods able to learn this, however? Well, the World's Will shared all of this info freely, which it had stored through the information-storing processing ability of the world's core!

She had sold her information, all she could find of her to everyone in the Interdimensional Merchant Shop, this way, everyone would be prepared to fight her no matter what and would know her weaknesses, and all those that accompanied her, even her children were listed!

Of course, Kireina didn't take too kindly of this garbage that the World's Will did, but she didn't care in the end, because their power grew so fast all this info was completely obsolete!

"I am Ana… And I won't lose!" said Ana, her eyes were sharp.

She was still filled with fear and awe, but she couldn't falter at all in front of one of Kireina's wives! She had to fight bravely and confront her like the Heroine Great Goddess she was!

Rimuru noticed this fear and smiled innocently.

"Don't worry, if you fight bravely, there's the chance that you can be revived to aid us later on! So do your best, guuu!" she said, flashing towards Ana at thundering speed!

"According to the info, Rimuru is a master of spiritual elements… Her main elements are spiritual fire, thunder, water, and wind! Her slime body is troublesome, but nothing that fire magic cannot evaporate!" Ana thought, as her inventory opened in an instant and several concoctions flashing with divine essence came out.

Rimuru raised her two elemental blades and began to slice through Ana!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

Each slash carried the spiritual power of several elements, but Ana used the [Sacred Wind After-Image] Skill to evade her attacks barely!

"What's that guu?"

"Eat this!"

Ana threw the concoction towards Rimuru by sticking it to her arrow, Rimuru waved her hand as an enormous spiritual power came out of it and blasted the concoction away!

CLASH!

The bottle, however, cracked and bathed Rimuru with a strange liquid.

"Eh? What's this- Guu?!"

"Yes, and Rimuru is also incredibly innocent, na?ve, and stupid!" laughed Ana, as she managed to easily trick Rimuru!

Rimuru furrowed her eyebrows as she got angry.

"Whoa re you calling stupid guu?!"

FLAAAASH!

In an instant, she reached Ana as Ana fired a dozen arrows made of flames!

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

The arrows started to explode into enormous vortexes of divine flames, as Rimuru was engulfed on them!

"Eh?"

Rimuru realized that her elemental power was not working, and the flames began to consume her slime, turning her into vapor!

She, the strongest slime, was being defeated?!

"Hahaha! Now die calcinated!" laughed Ana, she had grown confident as she saw Rimuru being bathed in flames, as she bombarded her with more and more flames!

"Guuuuuueeehhh…"

Rimuru cried in agony as she was turned into ashes!

Rimuru was dead!

The flames slowly dissipated, as Ana looked at Rimuru's remains.

"There's her soul!" said Ana, rushing towards it, grabbing it, and crushing it!

"Haha… I can't believe how easy it was! I can't believe it! Now, Isaac, where are you?"

Poof!

"Eh?"

Ana suddenly saw Rimuru emerge out of nowhere.

"Heee… I died?" she wondered.

"W-What?"

"Did you think I would die? Seriously guu?" she asked while furrowing her eyes.

"Eh? But I…"

"I just got inside my divine realm and waited for the fire to go out… I left you a little clone to play around with guu… See? I am not stupid guu!" said Rimuru.

"W-What?! Divine Realm…! I never thought about that…! I can escape there too!" thought Ana, rushing inside her divine realm, but a giant blade pierced her stomach!

CLAAAAASH!

"UUAAGH…!"

Ana was thrown into the walls as the blade of spiritual elements began to consume her body.

"That combination was pretty good, I am to admit it…" said Rimuru.

"But it didn't really affect me much guuu… Actually, look! I already assimilated your divine fire guu…" said Rimuru, as she suddenly transformed into a Slime of flames!

FLAAAASH!

Her entire colors changed to red and orange, her slime seemed to be made of semi-transparent lava.

"W-What?!"

"How many times are you going to ask that question, guu?"

Ana quickly took away the blade from her stomach with all the strength she could muster and escaped using Wind Leap and Wind After Image, shooting several arrows of water against Rimuru, generating powerful vortexes of water over her!

FLAAAAAASH!

"So now that I am fire you use water guu?!" asked Rimuru, as she waved her hands and flames emerged like a tsunami, crashing against Ana's attack, and evaporating everything!

The vapor covered the area, as Ana used this opportunity to fire another arrow with the strange concoction capable of weakening Rimuru's elemental spiritual power!

FLAAASH!

However, Rimuru caught it with her slime tentacle and devoured it.

"Hmm, this is the thing that makes me weaker guu… Actually, it won't work anymore guu." Said Rimuru, adjusting her inner slime workings, as if she was editing every little cell of her body!

In a second, and because this concoction wasn't part of Ana's power and wasn't affected by her attribute particles and the like, Rimuru created an immunity to it!

"You ate it?! TCH!"

Ana bathed Rimuru with more elemental arrows, as she decided to use her main element, wind!

"Oooh! You're finally using your element, guuu! Let me use mine then… Water!"

Rimuru generated an immense gate behind her as she opened the gates to Atlantis!

BOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!

"E-Eeeeh?!"

The gigantic tornado arrows of Ana were consumed by the vortex of water rather easily, reaching her!

CLAAAAAASH!

"UNNAAGGH…!"

Ana cried in agony as she was bathed in these high-pressured waters, boosted by Rimuru's almost 100k water attribute particles and over 50% Water Law Comprehension!

Ana began to slowly disintegrate by Rimuru's "Serious" attack, her body was torn apart by the water and her soul… CRACKED!

CRAAASH!

"This… can't be… Not… so soon…" she muttered in agony, her last and pitiful words.

Rimuru caught her torn apart body and her soul and saved them.

"Hmm, that was pretty interesting guu…" she thought.

…

Meanwhile, a girl with ruby-haired hair, an angered expression, and shiny aquamarine eyes wearing beautiful red magician clothes, and a shiny golden staff glanced at her surroundings in complete confusion.

"Where am I? What happened with Isaac? And everyone else… It was so sudden… Were we teleported somewhere else?!" she cried in awe.

She was Tanya, the second female of Isaac's party and the wielder of Sacred Starlight Flames and a Priest as well. She used these flames to both heal and fight and was rather proficient in both!

Her obsession with Isaac was strong, as she had been bullied and almost starved to death when she was a street kid, but Isaac saved him and gave her shelter and care. Ultimately, she awakened as his party member, and developed new abilities and power, no longer being weak and useless! Such a cliché story!

"Isaac… W-where's Isaac?!" she wondered, as she suddenly found a beautiful Mershark a few meters away from her, in front of her sight…

"W-Who are you?!"

The Mershark was beautiful and muscular too, her body was coated in tattoos that enhanced her body strength, and one of her eyes flashed with thundering lightning and aquamarine water elements… her long and wild crimson-red hair reached up to her hips, and she wore fancy pirate clothes and two long swords emanating powerful water and thunder elements…

"Hello there, little human girl! I'll have to kill you now… Name's Gaby, what's yours?" asked Gaby.

"T-Tanya…! Y-You're going to kill me?! Wait! This is… Gaby?!"

Tanya barely remembered Gaby from all of Kireina's wives, it seemed that although there were records of her, she wasn't as "famous" somehow… so she didn't even know what she was truly capable of aside from sheer brute strength and water magic.

"I am not someone that likes to waste time around, so… Let's go!"

Gaby suddenly summoned an enormous phantasmal pirate ship out of completely nowhere, as she jumped over it and rushed towards Tanya!

FLAAAAAASH!

"W-What is this?!" cried Tanya in utter disbelief!

BOOOOOOMMM!

The phantasmal ship hit Tanya as the powerful shockwaves exploded all around, Gaby noticed that the girl stopped the ship!

"Interesting!"

Gaby noticed that Tanya had changed, she looked fiery and angered, and her entire body was shrouded in starlight flames, yellow flames that released sparks of starlight from within!

"Gggrrr…! I am going to make you regret throwing me a ship in the faceeee!"

BOOOOOMMM!!!

Suddenly an enormous blazing explosion reached Gaby, as she quickly leaped out and conjured water and thunder to confront the angered fiery girl!

"Not bad! Gubo!"

Gaby summoned her loyal Thunder Slime Pet, which had already reached Rank 9 Great Goddess and was also wearing two Totems over her, fusing herself with it and enhancing her power even more!

CRACKLE!

CRAAAAASH!

A flashing vortex of thunder and oceanic waters clashed against the starlight flames of Tanya!

BOOOOMMM!
