Gilgamesh's Finishing Move!

The spiral blades atop Ea had begun to turn. Invisible wind stirred up waves alongside golden magical energy, as though an unseen vortex had circled the world once. In an instant, the earth collapsed, mountains split apart, and trees were pulverized.

Everything around them was absolutely cut apart by that invisible wind, neatly transformed into countless cubes—

Rimuru had everyone retreat. A thick, ornate scabbard appeared in an instant, transforming into countless tiny golden particles that formed a barrier.

"Hmph."

Gilgamesh snorted. The previously rampaging invisible vortex instantly began to converge and compress, forming an enormous impact sphere like a massive cannonball—

This was Ea's maximum output: Star of Ea!

Normally, Ea only needed to be swung, and its scattered power would be enough to tear the world apart. But if it was focused on a single point—Gilgamesh opened his eyes—that was the true Severance Cannon!

Endless cutting force would instantly shred its target apart, whether that target was man, ghost, or even... the world!

"Die, Rimuru!"

Boom!!

With Gilgamesh's furious shout, the massive impact radiating an aura of destruction crossed the distance between them and arrived before Rimuru. With a bang, it enveloped him. The earth before him instantly shattered, and the ruins behind him turned to dust and spread through the air, yet Rimuru's Avalon remained immovable as a mountain.

That allowed Rimuru to relax slightly.

After all, Avalon's defense worked by severance rather than brute resistance. As long as Avalon could keep the frantic "Dodge" notifications appearing above his head, there was no need to fear, no matter how great the opponent's power was.

"Tch..." Though he had expected it, Gilgamesh still could not help but darken his expression when he saw this.

At the same time, he snorted and poured more force into the Gleaming Sword
