Preparing to Kill Kronoa; Luminas's Telepathy

Veldora's words were full of pride, admiration, and even a faint trace of affection.

In such a serious setting, Veldora seemed utterly out of place.

Azhdaha: ...

Rimuru: ...

Rimuru seriously suspected that Veldora had only been sealed away because he had been too engrossed in watching back then.

After all, who would call the culprit who had sealed them away for hundreds of years beautiful?!

"You really are an indescribable... idiot!?"

Azhdaha said, resting his right hand against his forehead, sounding both mocking and wistful.

At that moment, Azhdaha was thoroughly ashamed to have a friend like Veldora.

This was too embarrassing!

"So, Little Sister Rimuru, you want me and this idiot Veldora to take down this fellow called Kronoa, who's being controlled by the 'Will of Destruction,' right?!"

Azhdaha asked Rimuru as though confirming his assumption.

"...Yeah, more or less. According to Luminas, this... mm, Strongest Hero Kronoa is already under the control of the Will of Destruction. She might pose a huge threat to this world, so it would be better to take her down."

After pondering for a moment, Rimuru answered Azhdaha somewhat hesitantly.

For some reason, Rimuru always felt that this girl had an enormous connection to her, yet she could not remember where she had seen her before. ...Mm~~~~, her head hurt.

But an irrational Calamity-class being was simply too dangerous. She already posed a grave threat to the world's safety. If she was not dealt with, the entire world would fall into disaster.

That was something Rimuru, who had always longed for peace, could never tolerate.

"Ah~~, we have to kill such a beauty! What a pity."

Upon hearing that Rimuru wanted him and Azhdaha to kill the beautiful woman who had sealed him away, Veldora could not help showing a regretful expression.
