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

CH-66

Rimuru's POV

Diablo bows to me and proceeds to open the door.

As soon as he opens the door, a redhead could be seen. Seriously? It hasn't even been that long.

"Leave. I did invite you, but I will send a formal invitation later. Do not disturb Rimuru-sama." Diablo said and closed the door.

Hahaha. Serves him right. If I had known about this, I would have definitely taken Diablo with me to the Walpurgis.

Guy then opens the door, "Oi. Don't say that No- , I mean Diablo."

It looked as if a comedy skit was going on. But I was the only one who was enjoying it. Both Leon and Ruminas had a shocked face.

"Let him in Diablo. *sigh* As much as I don't want him here, he needs to be here to understand the whole ordeal. After all, he is the M-E-D-I-A-T-O-R of the world." I say showing him a smile.

"Understood, Rimuru-sama."

After that Diablo finally let Guy enter. Just as Guy entered, another pandemonium began. Both Carrera and Ultima barged in.

"Rimuru-sama, I thought I felt Red."
"Are we finally going to fight?"

"*sigh* no. We are not fighting. Atleast for now. Go back to your jobs."

While I was sending those two troublesome demons back, Guy sat down on an empty chair without a care in this world. Quite arrogant of him. But I guess he has the power to back it up.

"Ah! I just remembered something. It's good that you came Guy-san. I just remembered something important." Chloe said or rather Chronoa.
"And who are you?"
"Me? I am the hero Chronoa."
"Hoh. So you are the hero who went missing 300 years ago?"

Shit. I don't like his tone. This reminds of when I was first met him in the Walpurgis. I quickly create thousands of small clone and make a barrier around Chloe and myself.

The next instant, the barrier around Chloe shattered. What the hell? I quickly create more barriers around her. They keep getting destroyed nearly instantaneously. If it wasn't for Raphael, I wouldn't have been able to keep up at all.

Suddenly Guy stops and looks at me.
"How did you do that?"

Everyone seemed as surprised as me, except Chloe. Could she actually keep up with him?
"Who knows."
"Hoh?"

The next instant the barrier shatters again.

Raphael, activate though acceleration at maximum power. With this the world slowed down. It slowed down to the extent that if I focused with help of Raphael, I could even see the individual light particles flying around. With this I can definitely see how fast he is going.

Yet, much to my dismay, the barrier shattered. What? How? Is he faster than light itself? But then, the backlash should be immense. I cannot see any magic being activated either. How? But that would explain it. If he is faster than light, then I obviously can't see him. After all then he would have already moved before light particle actually come to me. Wait. Then how is Chloe able to keep up? Could it be?

<Chloe's Ultimate skill has the sub-skill 《Time Travel》 with which she can see the future. As she already knows what will happen, she can react accordingly.>

Chloe really has gotten stronger. Stronger than me. She can even move faster than light. It's more like she can move in a frozen world.

<...>

Damn it. In these thoughts I forgot to create a new barrier.

"You are quite good." Guy said facing Chloe.
"You as well."
"I know. But it really is surprising. How did you do that?" Guy said facing towards me.
"I have no clue what happened." I said. It was a half truth. I knew he attacked Chloe. But that is all.

"Whatever. Sit down. You are the mediator right? This thing will definitely fancy you."

Chloe then explains everything briefly again.

"So? What did you remember?" I ask.
"It is about demon lord Dagruel. He also attack Ruberios when Rimuru was attacked by the Empire."
"So he turned traitor?"
"I don't know. But from what had happened, it is highly likely."
"Don't worry. I will keep an eye on Dagruel." Ruminas said.
"Ya. Please do so. If something happens just tell me." I tell her.
"Hmph. You should focus on the Empire."

Well that's one more thing sorted. But the number of potential enemies keep increasing. The empire. Then there is the Tenma. The angels are led by Feldway. Then there is Dagruel. Tch. I don't have anything to use as a bargaining chip against him. I look at Guy. He doesn't seemed that bothered by learning of Dagruel's potential betrayal.
"Guy, I thought you would be more interested here. You are the leader of us, demon lords, aren't you?"
"So? Dagruel only served Veldanava. I have no clue what his aim might be. He only became a demon lord after he heard I was the mediator."

So Dagruel was loyal to Veldanava. Also, aren't angels supposed to serve gods? Then... I hope it is just my mind getting paranoid.

"By the way, Rimuru-kun." Guy said. Oh F*ck. What does he want now?
"What?"
"You spoiled Mizeri's plan, you know."
"No clue what you are talking about." I say taking a bite of the cake that Shuna just served us.
"Is that so? Blanc, I mean Testarossa still spoiled her plans. I know very well that you knew what had happened."
"Fine. I know about it. So? I am not obligated to repay you or anything. What did you wish to accomplish by doing that anyway."
"Isn't it simple? By killing all the dignitaries, I was reminding humans about the danger of the demon lords and uniting them."

Hearing this Hinata shivered a little. Makes sense. Hinata fights with demons to protect the people and her Guy is just saying how he would kill all the representatives just to spread fear.

"Do you really think that would work?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Let me tell you Guy. Humans are like pests. That is both their weak and strong point. No matter how hard it is, they will survive. If you do not killed each and everyone of them, it doesn't matter. They will forget about this show of 'terrorism' in about a hundred years. Do not underestimate them, or else you will be surprised to know how persistent humans can be."
"Oi. Rimuru, isn't it too much to call humans pests?" Hinata said.
"That is just my opinion."
"You were once human as well, weren't you?"
"Yes I was. So?"
"Then.."
"That doesn't mean humans were not dangerous. The environment of Earth was destroyed because of us humans. Just like how pests destroy the plants, we destroyed the Earth. I fail to see any difference. By the way, Guy, do not interfere with the Western Nations. I will take care of it."
"Fine. Do whatever you want."

After that things finally calmed down. We all had dinner and the demon lords slowly went back. There was a small dispute amongst me, Leon and Limnas about where Chloe would stay, but those two backed out when Chloe said that she wanted to stay in Tempest.

"Ruminas-sama, will it be alright if I stay here for a few days?"
"Hmm? Why?"
"I would like to look after the children for a few days to confirm they are alright."
"Very well. But come back quickly. The Holy knights need you."
"Hai."

After that Ruminas left. Both Chloe and Hinata stayed with me until everyone had left.

"Do you want to talk about something?" I ask them. They would have left already if they had nothing to do.
"About that.." Hinata said as she looked at Diablo and Shion.
"I see. Diablo, Shion. Leave us alone for a moment."
""Hai."" They both say and leave.

"So?"
"Rimuru, just who are you?"
"Huh?"
