Kill the Demon King.

Right now!

Chapter 490 490 The Magic That Was Resisted!

(The raid failed.)

(Is that really the Demon King?)

(Genuine product.)

(Can we win?)

(I guess so)

CC sat crouching in the distant woods, sensing the magic power Frilian was expending and communicating with her.

Frillian had told her before that there was a very bad aura, which CC found strange at the time.

Unexpectedly, they ran into the Demon King by sheer bad luck.

Judging from its description, it seems to be quite powerful.

The closer we got to the capital, the more frequently we encountered Servants.

The previous red mist phenomenon really did look like a signal flare.

(Hmm, the area where magic is sealed off)

(Wouldn't that be terrible?)

(Indeed. If they can't crack it, they'll probably be killed.)

(Should I use a Command Spell?)

(No, not yet, I want to try that method first.)

(If all else fails, then use a Command Spell to take me away.)

(Now I need to concentrate)

The call ended there, and CC vaguely understood what Frillian wanted to do.

That happened not long ago when I was recuperating in the new village.

(Caster, what are you doing?)

(Hmm? This? Trying out a very new method of casting "magic".)

(Is it possible?)

(I asked the adventurer I just met a little, so I have a general idea.)

Magic is a world of imagination.

Muttering to herself, CC awaited the result from the other side.

…………

"It's now."

Thinking of this opportunity at such a distance, Frillie raised her glowing palm.

"boom!!!"

Then a roar erupted, causing a nearby explosion.

Thick black smoke billowed from here, shooting straight into the sky.

"Clap."

Once again, she was thrown out, and Frilian slid across the ground for a long distance before getting up.

Her clothes were covered in dust, but she wasn't in the mood to worry about that at the moment.

Although I was certain I hit the target, whether it will actually kill them depends on the actual effect.

"It's so dangerous."

"Even with the anti-magic barrier in place, you still managed to unleash your magic."

"No, perhaps that can't be called magic."

The voice came from behind, and Frillie was startled, then turned around abruptly.

A shadowy figure emerged from the forest.

Rimuru stood there unharmed.

"Ah, don't worry about it, it's just a clone."

"It's perfect for testing the waters."

Glancing at the explosion site where the smoke and dust had dissipated behind me, I could see that the incomplete "Rimuru" was still alive. It then turned into a ball of magic and dissipated, being absorbed by the real Rimuru.

"That time?"

Realizing what kind of clone the other party had sent, Frillie remained silent for a moment and then whispered.

After casting an anti-magic barrier, he concealed his true form and only sent a clone to fight him.

This demon king is quite cautious.

"Despite being a Caster, he is able to use martial arts techniques."

"It's a pretty good way to deal with anti-magic barriers."

Praising his opponent, Rimuru recounted Frillie's actions earlier.

Magic cast with a staff?

No.

It is a martial art released with the hands!

Once she understood the severity of her close-quarters combat abilities, she knew where her weaknesses lay.

Therefore, in order to compensate for potential shortcomings in future combat, this kind of "magic" for melee mages was developed.

This is the "new magic" that Frillie discovered while recovering from her encounter with the Assassin and the battle with the adventurer party.

The power called "martial arts"

"However, martial arts techniques should only be usable by warrior-type professions."

"You don't actually have that kind of job, do you?"

"Or is it possible to change jobs?"

Filled with questions, Rimuru was quite curious. If Raphael hadn't reminded him beforehand, he probably wouldn't have been able to figure out why the other party was able to use "magic".

"."

There was no response, but Rimuru could sense the obvious hostility from the other party.

(I was completely ostracized; they wouldn't even exchange a word with me.)

(Does she have a grudge against the Demon King?)

He crossed his arms, somewhat confused.

While the heroes in the world usually behave quite strangely, they shouldn't be treated like this towards the Demon King.

Now that I've encountered an unconventional hero, there's a sense of distance that makes it impossible to approach him.

"Hmm? Want to come again?"

Seeing that Frillian didn't seem inclined to say anything, but instead had a faint light shimmering in her empty palm, Rimuru became wary.

(Note: The Mirror Counter is ineffective against it.)

(Huh? Why?)

(It is determined that Caster is a special individual whose attacks have the effect of ignoring friendly forces.)

(Hmm, so this must be what they call a special attack against the Demon King. It gives me the creeps. Maybe they really did kill the Demon King before?)

"It seems we can't just leave it unattended."

Such a dangerous person might be best dealt with by simply killing him.

But for Rimuru, it's not that serious.

Killing anyone who poses a threat to oneself is too extreme.

If possible, he wants to get along peacefully with others.

After all, there's no rule saying that a hero and a demon king can't be friends, right?

Since the opponent can unleash martial arts techniques, the anti-magic barrier becomes useless.

We need to figure out a way to make her stop first.

After releasing it, Rimuru heard a cry coming from inside her body.
