At this moment, Rimuru, standing beside Veldora, could not help but feel somewhat shaken as she watched the scene unfold.
Veldora was a terrifying Calamity-class existence standing at the pinnacle of this world. Even though she had now advanced to become an Awakened Demon King, she might not necessarily have been his match.
Yet Azhdaha's presence was hardly inferior to Veldora's. Only now did Rimuru realize just how deeply her Dragon King big brother, Ari's old friend, Brother Azhdaha—the self-proclaimed Supreme Dragon—had been hiding his strength.
As Rimuru felt the increasingly powerful pressure spreading across the plaza, she realized something.
If these two big shots kept competing like this, every monster in the plaza would be in trouble.
Even powerful figures like Benimaru and the others were having trouble holding on beneath these two utterly terrifying oppressive auras.
Among all the monsters present, aside from Rimuru and Diablo, no one else might have been able to withstand pressure of this level.
And Diablo only obeyed Rimuru. As for Tempest's other monsters, in Little Di's words—
"What does it have to do with me?!"
"Enough, Veldora, Brother Dragon King, both of you stop it! Are you trying to destroy Tempest?"
Rimuru hurriedly called out to the two Dragon Kings who were still stubbornly competing nearby.
Only after hearing Rimuru's reminder did the hot-headed Veldora and Azhdaha come back to their senses. They noticed Tempest's citizens around them, who had nearly been crushed to the point of being unable to breathe by their pressure.
The two hurriedly withdrew their auras.
After sensing that the pressure had been withdrawn, the stronger Tempest citizens slowly let out breaths of relief.
Some of the weaker monsters, meanwhile, dropped straight onto the ground and gasped for air, looking as though they had just taken a trip
