Rudra himself considered the outcome of this contest to be a foregone conclusion.
There was no way he could lose!
"A contest of Ultimate Skills?"
Upon hearing Rudra's proposal, Rimuru fell silent.
Great Teacher, are you confident?
Rimuru asked King of Wisdom in her heart.
[...I will not lose.]
After a moment of silence, King of Wisdom's mechanical voice echoed in Rimuru's mind.
Upon hearing King of Wisdom's words, the corners of Rimuru's lips rose into a confident smile.
Since Great Teacher had said so, what was there left to hesitate over?
Let's do this!!!
Rimuru possessed four Ultimate Skills.
King of Wisdom, King of Gluttony.
King of Vows, King of Ultimate Revelation.
Those four Ultimate Skills.
But if there was one Ultimate Skill Rimuru had the greatest confidence in, it was Great Teacher, King of Wisdom.
Rimuru believed that her Great Teacher, King of Wisdom, was undoubtedly the strongest Ultimate Skill in this world!
The strongest!!!
Not even Ari's Ultimate Skill could compare to her Great Teacher!
"I accept your terms."
Rimuru nodded and spoke seriously.
Seeing Rimuru looking so supremely confident, Rudra raised a brow and said in some surprise,
"It seems you're very confident in your Ultimate Skill?"
"Hmph~~ My Ultimate Skill is the 'strongest' in this world!"
"I just hope you won't go back on your word after you lose!"
Rimuru confidently provoked Rudra.
Her Great Teacher would not lose!
"I always keep my word! If I lose, I can let every one of you leave!"
Faced with Rimuru's provocation, Rudra merely shook his head calmly and gave a solemn yet imposing guarantee.
Rudra was not the sort to break a promise once he had spoken it.
Besides, he had more than enough confidence in King of Justice.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield above the Empire.
