That time I got reincarnated as a slime,no, a DRAGON?

CH-47

Looks like everyone is shocked. Yuuki, on whose order they had come here, is now standing in front of them as an opponent.

"Gulidmaster?"
"Why...... if you are against the demon lord, why did you send us here?"
Looks like the group was confused to see Yuuki here. But I have to say, Yuuki and Kagali sure are good at acting.

"Maribell, I won't accept surrender, you know."
"Hmph. That should be my line. You are going to die right now." She said.

"Let me ask you something Maribell. How strong do you think the demon lords are?"
"Hmm? They might be strong, but not unbeatable."
"That is where you are wrong Maribell. Each and every member of the demon lord can completely wipe off the Western Nations if they desired to do so."

Well, maybe except Ramiris. But now that she had her powers, maybe.

"Stop lying. We are holding our own against Demon Lord Guy's forces. He cannot defeat us."
"Really? Then why hasn't Guy made a move yet? If he wanted to wipe out humanity, he can do so at any moment."
"Then why doesn't he do so?"
"Just because you can kill all the bugs in the world doesn't mean that you will do so. We have nothing to gain of it. Also, Guy is the mediator of the world or something. Didn't bother to listen back then."

Maribell doesn't look too surprised by this. Maybe she already knew. Well, she might have heard through Granbell. I guess she tried to obtain information about other demon lords.

"Well, there is no need to know. You will die today regardless. Smash him down." As soon as Maribell ordered, Gaiye dashed straight at me. Shion tried to intercept, but Yuuki got in the way.
"Your opponent is me." Yuuki said to Shion.
"Someone weak enough to be controlled is not an enemy for me."

I hadn't told her about our cooperation, so I guess this will be a good chance to see how strong Yuuki is. Gobta transformed into a werewolf after merging with Ranga. The foe he was fighting could most probably be as strong as The Ten Great Saints. But after Milim's training, I am sure he can handle his own. I then look at Gaiye.

"Why bring distractions to the battle?" I ask as I throw a small ball of my aura at Gaiye, completely wiping him off the face of the earth.

"What? That power. What is that?"
"This is me taking this seriously. Tell me Maribell, you don't seem to be ordinary. Who are you? Are you a reincarnated person?"
"How? How did you know. No. It doesn't matter. I will kill you today. I have to kill you today."
"So you really were reincarnated. From where? You seem to be quite familiar to politics."
'Maybe I can stall for time and let Yuuki defeat that oni and take him together. That would be best.' Maribell thought.

"I was the last queen of the Maelstrom Kingdom. Though, I don't think you will know about that."
"Maelstrom? Wasn't that kingdom a supporter of the Flame Empire?"
"You know about it? How!?"
"That isn't important. Anyway, wasn't that kingdom destroyed. It fell when the Glocks invaded."
"That is the story that the common folk were told."
"I know. In reality, the last Queen, aka, you were suspected to turn traitor and sheltering deadly species. You were charged with assassination of leaders of friendly races, slave trade of friendly races and many other crimes."
"How do you?"
"They were all mostly false though, weren't they? Apart from the slavery and experimenting on humans and elves."
"They were. But how? Are you a reincarnated person as well? From the same time as me?"
"I guess. Though I am not someone you would want to know who I am. After all, it was because of my sister that all those crimes were pinned on you."

Her eyes widened as she realized and connected the dots. She suddenly felt all the fear that she had felt blow away and anger took its place.

"I see. That's good. I can take revenge for that as well. Hahaha." She laughed like a maniac.

Has she lost her mind?

"I will show you just how much you overestimated yourself. Holy Field."

Just as she said that, a holy field was set up. It was much stronger than before.
"Did you really think I didn't expect that. You should know who I am, yet you think this would work on me? Idiotic." I say. Just as I say that, the barrier shatters.

"You. What did you do?"
"Nothing much. I just had my people keep a check on the outside."

3rd person POV

It was only now that Maribell understood who she was up against. A member of the Octagram. A true Demon Lord. Gaiye, who she had powered up to her best was wiped out like he was trash. Yuuki, though had the advantage, was unable to emerge victorious. Rama, who was challenging Gobta was still fighting on an even footing. Only after the 《Holy Field》 shattered did Maribell realise that she was the only one who was overestimating herself. She then decided to take matters into her own hands. She started combusting her own soul to go beyond her limits. For Maribell, a chance like this where the demon lord will be this vulnerable will not come again.

"I am going to wager everything on this." Maribell said.
"Do whatever you want. You will not win." Rimuru replied.

Maribell then dashed at Rimuru and then kicked him with a form that was far from child-like. Rimuru ,meanwhile, just lightly parried the attack and used her momentum against her. Maribell spun around and dodged the attack from Rimuru and let some black Ray's leave her hand and go towards Rimuru.

This was a part of her unique skill 《Avarice》.

"There is no way you will survive this. Nobody can give up their greed to live."

Maribell was a bit disappointed that she had to kill Rimuru, but she couldn't let someone like Rimuru roam free.

"Sorry, but my analysis just finished. This won't work on me anymore."

Hearing this, Maribell's eye went wide. Her attack was by no means weak. It was strong enough that Carrion, Frey, Clayman and even Hinata would have died.

Maribell was all-powerful. But only under the scope of unique skills. There is no way it can hold it's own against an Ultimate Skill.

Rimuru's POV

Raphael was correct. Maribell had a Holy Field prepared. Maribell sure is strong. This attack might not have killed me, but my subordinates are another thing. If I have to guess Shion and the demons might survive. But the others won't. Maybe I should train their souls as well. Raphael quickly analyzes the attack.

"Sorry, but my analysis just finished. This won't work on me anymore." I tell her. Just as I was about to use soul consume, I saw Shion fly past. It seems Yuuki has managed to defeat her.

"Hahaha. Demon lord Rimuru. Looks like i underestimated you. But you still won't win." She said as the black aura around Yuuki increased.

<Confirmed. Maribell is transferring all her energy to Yuuki, skyrocketing his abilities.>

Me and Yuuki launch at each other in a sync. Maribell is slowly creating space between us. Most probably to flee. Kagali and the others are attending to Shion. Just as Maribell escapes, I kick him straight in the gut launching him into the nearby wall. In that one second, Raphael had managed to obtain information on most of his skills.

"Free now? I should have removed her control over you."
He stood up holding his head.
"Ya. But Rimuru-san, couldn't you have been more lenient? Ouch. It hurts."
"Ya ya. Whatever." I say as I spray a healing potion on him. His wounds immediately heal and he seems to be better.
"Gobta, finish your fight quickly."

Gobta shouldn't be having troubles. What is he doing?
<Report. It appears that he is trying to convince his opponent, Rama, that Glenda is still alive.>

I see. I cut off the spiritual connection with Maribell, making him willing to understand. Now only Maribell and the Chaos Dragon was left. You will die today Maribell.

"Yuuki, go after Maribell. I will go help Milim."
"Fine." He said as he left. I guess I should go as well.
