The one who Obsereve


    Pulling it out of thin air, Dino held up a great swordparable to himself in size.


    A thick, wide single-edged sword, it seemed to have high killing power and was capable of decimating


    enemies with its weight.


    A massive weapon that didn''t match any lightweight equipment like leather armor, it was a God ss


    great sword inscribed with the name "Crumbling Fang".


    Beretta, on the other hand, waspletely bare handed; however, his body wasposed of Demon


    Steel that was originally created by Rimuru.


    But in this moment, as the result of his form adapting well to Beretta''s magic power, the materials had


    transformed into Adamantite (Bio-Demon Steel) simr to that of Zegion''s.


    As magic power circted within him, it[1] had be a deadly weapon that had power stronger than


    even that of a Legend ss weapon.


    Its toughness was unparalleled in thebyrinth to the extent that a normal weapon couldn''t even


    scratch it. That was Beretta.


    Against Dino who used a weapon, it wouldn''t mean that Beretta, who was weaponless, was at a


    disadvantage.


    However, the offensive ability of Dino''s weapon seemed to exceed Beretta''s defensive ability.


    Thus, Dino moved light-heartedly to break the tension that ran between the two.


    Beretta skillfully warded off Dino''s sword strike despite being unarmed.


    Without receiving the attacks headfirst, Beretta led Dino around with movements that fused both


    offense and defence.


    While Dino''s attacks only came from the sword, Beretta''s whole body was a weapon. Being unarmed


    didn''t be a disadvantage - on the contrary, it enabled him to use many more methods of attacking.


    For Beretta, who was a Chaos Doll, attribute transformation was his forte.


    He drove the Holy attribute into the ce that was adapted for Demonic attribute attacks. Thus, Dino''s


    position was sealed off by Beretta''s localized Holy Barrier for anti-individual use.


    He confronted Dino with calcted movements so that he obtained the advantage.


    But, Beretta''s true state of affairs was a situation in which he barely maintained the current delicate


    operation simr to that of threading a needle.


    At any rate, the attribute attacks, both Holy and Demonic, didn''t be a decisive blow.


    Dino is a Fallen Angel. He''s originally an existence of the Holy attribute that shifted into the Demonic


    attribute, so he should be weak to Holy attribute.


    But for Dino, Holy and even Demonic are familiar attributes to him. Because of this, he had no


    weaknesses.


    Beretta was saved by the fact that Dino couldn''t handle both attributes.


    Also, it''s a situation where only a single blow of the fusion of both attributes by Beretta''s Unique


    Skill Holy-Demonic Fusion could somehow cause damage to him.


    On the other hand, even if it''s only a sword strike, its single strike could cut Beretta easily.


    The strength of Adamantite became very helpless in front of God ss weapons.


    At a nce, Beretta had continued the battle in an advantageous position but the situation could be


    immediately reversed with one incorrect move.


    Beretta, who understood this situation well, was devoting himself to stalling and buying time, as he


    wasn''t fighting for victory.


    He understood that he couldn''t win against Dino, but victory for him was not the defeat of his opponent.


    Certainly, It would''ve been great for him to win, but true victory in this situation was thepletion of


    his task of protecting Ramiris.


    As long as he could protect Ramiris, then even if he was defeated, it was possible for him to revive


    Therefore, Beretta ced priority in stalling for time above all else, and as such he chose the strategy


    that relied, potentially on sacrificing himself, meaning that he must never get impatient while dealing


    with Dino''s attacks.


    Dino, on the other hand, urately saw through Beretta''s intentions.


    However, saying that he''d shatter it just because he saw through it, wasn''t the case.


    What he only needed to be cautious of is thepound attack by Holy-Demonic Fusion .


    The aura that interweaved both holy attribute and demonic attribute which d Beretta''s body could


    attack and pierce through attribute defense.


    Basically, defending against this attack was impossible. He will certainly receive damage unless he


    exceeds it with his willpower and magic power.


    Although it''s only a Unique Skill, it''s wonderful because it could damage Dino, who possessed an


    Ultimate Skill.


    He should praise his - Beretta''s - high offensive capabilities that were to the extent of being surprising.


    However, this ability had no use in defense.


    Because of his excessively-high defensive ability, he seems to be poor in self-defense technique.


    Currently Beretta is dealing well against Dino''s attacks, but that was only because Dino was


    persistently cautious of receiving Beretta''s strikes.


    In the case Dino shifted into attacking seriously, Beretta definitely would not have gotten off safely.


    Dino carefully ascertained that Beretta didn''t have any hidden items.


    It''s very troublesome but it''s a necessary work for neutralizing Beretta in this ce.


    Anyway, Beretta will revive immediately even if he''s killed.


    It was what caused him to make the guardians of eachbyrinth floor sleep.


    He could kill people if they weren''t one of Ramiris'' subordinates by destroying their Bracelet of


    Revival'', but if her subordinates were killed then they would revive.


    A very troublesome ability that was given to Ramiris.


    Therefore, Dino didn''t defeat Ramiris'' subordinates inside thebyrinth but instead, he neutralized


    them.It was necessary to kill Ramiris who was the foundation if such an opportunity arose.


    (It''s really troublesome. Even against Beretta alone takes this much of effort......)


    By the way, at first Dino didn''t grasp that the ceremony of evolution was held at the victory celebration


    party.


    By the request from Yuuki, he contacted Guy in the middle of the victory celebration party and schemed


    to cause a sh between him and Rimuru.


    And then he was watching the situation while hiding so that he didn''t get involved in it.


    Everything was part of Yuuki''s n, so he was in the position to cooperate with it.


    The n went well, and there was a sign that Guy seemed to begin to rampage. But, Guy open his


    heart. It became peaceful for some reason and he realized that the n had failed.


    "If things are going like this, even my spy conduct would''ve gotten exposed," fortunately, dino had


    decided to withdraw at the right time......


    He noticed that the state inside thebyrinth was odd.


    It became quiet as if it had fallen asleep.


    It was his chance.


    For the sake of him serving that personage - the person lying dormant inside Yuuki - Ramiris'' existence


    had be an obstacle.


    He didn''t personally dislike Ramiris, but she who was living as she pleased like she''d forgotten her


    original role became a dangerous existence to Dino''s master.


    No, to be urate it''s not Ramiris who was dangerous...... it''s thebyrinth which she created that was


    far too dangerous.


    Thebyrinth with many Devils rivaling the immortal Demon Lords living inside.


    It wasn''t an impregnable ce.


    Not to mention, a research of thetest technology that can be called the core of the lost civilization


    was conducted in the deepest part of thebyrinth.


    Because an ordinary war potential invading it from the front to destroy the research facility was


    certainly unachievable.


    Thus, it was necessary to seal thebyrinth at any cost.


    The simplest way for it was to erase Ramiris. Dino decided that he had no time to be thinking about any


    other way.


    Yuuki had always regarded thebyrinth as dangerous.


    Also, Ramiris'' ability.


    It could be said that when someone gets caught inside thebyrinth and the entrance is closed,


    escaping would be difficult.


    Ramiris'' Labyrinth Creation is a too dangerous ability, as it''s a glimpse into the ability that created the


    world.


    Dino also agrees with this thought.


    Thus, he needs to kill Ramiris in this ce.


    As he deprived the physical strength of the strong individuals in thebyrinth, they fell asleep quite


    easily.


    If it''s right now, there''ll be no obstaclesing.


    He was a little sorry about killing Ramiris since she was a close friend, but even so, he had no


    hesitation.


    Beretta, you did well. Sleep now, "Fallen Hypno (Slothful Sleep)"!!


    Dino, without hesitating, releases the now reusable ability of his Ultimate Skill[2].


    A strong hypnosis induction.


    Resisting it with willpower is useless. For those who need rest, they would certainly fall into an eternal


    sleep.


    It was the strongest of Dino''s abilities that exerted a wide-range effect.


    Because Dino knew that it was meaningless even if he killed Beretta, he brought Beretta down with the


    effect of the ability.


    Simrly like him, even Ramiris who was being protected fell asleep under the influence of Dino''s


    ability.


    Seriously there are just too many strong people in this ce. Really, what a pain...


    Confirming that Beretta has copsed, Dino muttered so.


    He nced at Ramiris who was sleeping soundly,


    Actually, I didn''t want to do a thing like this..... but I''m not telling you to forgive me.


    Goodbye, Ramiris.


    (EN: sayonara is written in katakana here, for some reason. Maybe it''s just there to make it more


    dramatic?)


    With a ruthless light in his eyes, Dino, without any hesitation, extended his hand towards Ramiris


    A Demon is a race that doesn''t need to sleep


    Therefore, Beretta had barely seeded in resisting Dino''s ability.


    He protected Ramiris from Dino''s spear hand that shone using his body as a shield.


    Dino''s spear hand pierced through Beretta''s Adamantite body with ease.


    He seems to not care about Beretta''s defense power as currently he''s not d in defense of magic


    power.


    Rather saying he seeded in resisting the ability, he simply doesn''t need sleep.


    He forcibly make Beretta entered Sleep Mode and Beretta already has nobat ability.


    But,


    Fu, fufufu. I purposely let my core be destroyed. As a result, now I''ll die and revive wlessly.


    It still not the end yet, Dino. I will not let you kill my master!


    Beretta''s voice didn''t have any sign of despair and was convinced with their victory.


    Fool. During the little time until you revive, there''s no obstacle for me to kill Ramiris!


    Dino shouted, denying Beretta''s words.


    However, Beretta''s confidence was proper.


    While he stalling to buy some time, the situation had improved for the better.


    Rather than, in this first ce inside thisbyrinth


    No, I will not let you do it.


    This "Gehenna Lord (Dark Soul Lord)" Adalman will be your opponent!


    ? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    One man No, one skeleton entered the Research Room as if responding to Dino''s voice.


    I request you to dy him, Adalman.


    As Beretta called out to him with trust, he became light particles and disappeared.


    Adalman gave a big nod and began taking over the fight.


    Inside thebyrinth, a second battle had begun.


    He really was really getting fed up with this.


    That was not Dino''s fake impression.


    Even Adalman isn''t a threat for Dino. However, without destroying his "Bracelet of Revival", Adalman


    cannot be killedpletely.


    On the contrary, from Adalman''s side, being able to stall for some time against Dino, who was of a


    higher rank, was already enough.


    Not to mention,


    Do you have time to be looking away right now?


    A voice is heard, and a sharp sh grazes Dino''s cheek.


    It''s Albert''s - who appeared after Adalman - sword.


    A single strike with a God ss weapon from Albert, who was a top swordsman.


    Albert didn''t seem to have mastered the armor yet, and it''s certain that Dino is advantageous yet......


    Attacks towards Adalman were tanked by the two people - Albert and the revived Beretta.


    And then, the attacks of those two reached Dino with the aid of Recovery Magic in the powerful


    Support Magic category.


    Magic doesn''t affect a person who possesses a Ultimate Skill.


    In a sense, this was the natural result because Ultimate Skills are of a higher rank of magic. But, it''s


    effective even if it only gives an indirect effect rather than a direct one.


    In other words, weakening magic and the like wouldn''t work, but giving support to an ally vanguard was


    effective.


    And in addition to that, it''s thepound effect of Undead Magic with Divine Magic of Adalman who


    was a top Grand Priest ss.


    Beretta had been able to show the ability that exceeded this a while ago, Albert is also in his top


    condition.


    The exchange of super special moves by the two vanguards who can damage even a spiritual life-form.


    Regarding the special sleep, it didn''t have effect as Undead and Demon didn''t need sleep.


    He, who should have been at an overwhelmingly higher rank, was having a hard fight against 3 people


    with lower ranks than him, which was causing him to lose his confidence...... "Have I weakened


    because of myzy habit for a long time?".


    Though it could be said that Dino still hadposure, being able to think about such joking thoughts.


    Shut up! And yet you two people came to attack the weak me, don''t say it so proudly!


    Damn it! Besides, why? The timing was too good, you know!?


    This was too much for Dino, the timing when Adalman appeared was too perfect.


    It was unnatural for Adalman to appear immediately after Dino had used his ranged attack that was


    "Fallen Hypno".


    It''s like theing of that attack had been predicted since the beginning......


    (No, as expected I''m over thinking it.....)


    He denied his own thought, and finished dealing with the attack of those two vanguards.


    Dino is also a high level swordsman that equalled Albert in sword technique, who possessed a Super-


    Special Move.


    However, he is able to fight evenly because of his physical ability rather than his techniques.


    Because Dino''s Slothful King Belphegor had a special ability of increasing his power if he didn''t move.


    If you say it inly, he could basically increase his energy by saving his energy.


    Though there''s a limit to the maximum amount that he could let out at a time, he could arbitrarily use it


    in the Hyper Mode to go beyond his usual state.


    With that ability, Dino can get a temporary overwhelming fighting power.


    Therefore, because he still had surplus of power, he must ascertain the most efficient way to kill the 3


    people in front of him...........


    Fuu, fuhahahahaha! I''m happy I''m happy. It might be not a problem even if I inform you.


    You were observed you know.


    That''s only natural right? Have you thought about the ce you are in right now?


    After all, it''s the territory of the Great Demon Lord Rimuru-sama. You cannot do whatever you please.


    Of course, this battle is being observed (monitored) too


    Adalman informed Dino totally as if what he said was a known fact.


    No, if he gave it more thought he, too, would agree.


    Even Dino could see that Demon Lord Rimuru possessed fearsome ingenuity, enough to set up this


    deeplyid n.


    If that was the case, even if they seeded in resisting "Fallen Hypno" at first, they would not


    immediatelye over, he might need to be cautious about re-using it.


    Since Dino knew that they would revive even if he had killed them, it was expected that he would surely


    aim to neutralize them with a sleeping attack.


    And if they grasped the time for its reuse, he would have no effective means topletely silence


    them.


    Above all else


    (This, me..... the "Observer", is being observed, he said!?)


    that was humiliating.


    It stimted Dino''s pride, who originallyzy in nature, and Adaman seeded in making Dino angry.


    It was a rule for Dino to achieve the biggest result with a little effort, therefore he avoided the use of an


    ability that consumed energy needlessly.


    But, it doesn''t mean that he wouldn''t do it.


    (It might be good if I end it quickly!)


    Dino releases all his power in anger, his unwilling nature had disappeared.


    He made the biggest mistake by failing to realise who was truly being observed and as such, he cannot


    let the people who know this information live.


    It''s troublesome, but I cannot say so either.


    Don''t think badly about me! "Fallen Catastrophe (Temptation towards Destruction)"!!


    Thew is rewritten, and the positive factor starts reverting to minus.


    Energy that lead to the suspension of activity, regardless of being living or undead. However, since


    there was nopelling force, it was the target of the technique who voluntarily walked on the road to


    destruction.


    It can be seen as a kind of hypnotism, but the effect caused by this ability was on a different level.


    Because everyone who failed in resisting this will surely die.


    The point of the inducement this time was "Destruction", but Dino could make the target conduct a


    specific result with the hypnosis. It was a versatile ability.


    Because it didn''t use sound as medium, a barrier or the like can''t defend against it which may be its


    notable point.


    As one of the seven deadly sins, "Sloth" could also be called one of the most dreadful ultimate


    abilities..


    That''s because it''s an ability that could exert absolute control over people with emotion and


    intelligence..


    Due to the activation of Dino''s ability, everyone who was in this ce fell down and their deaths were


    confirmed.


    Dino had a harder time than he thought.


    They were existences that hadn''t acquired Ultimate Skills yet, nevertheless he shuddered at the fact


    that they were only the subordinates of a sole Demon Lord.


    To be precise, Beretta holds two position as he was Ramiris'' subordinate, but such a thing was an


    irrelevant point.


    (Really...... they were not the highest ranking people among Demon Lord Rimuru''s subordinates, right?)


    It''s a justified point that Dino wants toin.


    ording to Dino''s opinion, his opponents now could be the key figures amongst Rimuru''s


    subordinates.


    But after battling Albert and others, it seems that he ought to make an upward adjustment in his


    evaluation.


    Since it had became a state of emergency, the high rank group had been dispatched. Among the


    remaining high ranked people, he had confirmed that Benimaru had went elsewhere.


    The only remaining threat for Dino was Shion, but she hadn''t awakened an Ultimate Skill yet.


    He was extremely cautious and, after confirming the situation, it seemed to be a correct answer for him


    to wait until thest minute when the sess rate increased.


    Because if Benimaru, Shion and Souei had also participated in the fight with the three that he had just


    defeated, the situation would''ve be more difficult even if he didn''t lose.


    Being relieved for the time being, Dino stretched out his hand and towards Ramiris'' corpse in order to


    confirm the result.


    "Fallen Catastrophe" is an ability that scattered a wave of hypnosis inducement to the surroundings, so


    there''s no escape from it.


    The effect is shown if the target is basked in it, even in sleeping state. Rather, the target would die


    without being able to resist it in their sleep.


    Dino was convinced of Ramiris'' death and touched the body.


    He touched it (the corpse), or what it should''ve been.


    The corpse turned into light particles, as it took the shape of a butterfly and flew around Dino''s


    surroundings.


    As if it was sneering at Dino......


    (No way...... it was an illusion!?)


    He doesn''t want to believe it as it was unbelievable.


    But...... surely, Adalman had said so.


    "This battle is being observed too".


    (Was that a provocation? In order to make me use my trump card......!?)


    So, when he thought about it, it was unnatural for Adalman to say that remark there even though it


    didn''t create an advantage against Dino.


    But, even if it could create an advantageous situation, it wasn''t something that he could understand.


    In other words......


    Thunk, thunk


    Slowly, someone''s footsteps were heard.


    The beautiful butterfly of light flew, as if dancing, towards the person who walked calmly and touched


    that person''s hand.


    And the butterfly returns to the form of a fairy sleeping adorably...... Ramiris, who slept innocently and


    seemingly happily.


    Ramiris was handed over to a man with ckish blue hair beside the hand''s owner, who stood without


    any presence and before anyone was aware of him,


    Souei-dono, I leave Ramiris-sama to you


    A man said it calmly.


    Yeah, leave it to me. Support?


    There''s no need. I alone is enough


    From the beginning, defense for Ramiris was conducted perfectly.


    In the safestbyrinth depths, multipleyers of trap were set up.


    By the instructions of a certain person, they were ordered to fight minimally in order to strip the ability of


    the person whoe as a spy.


    They followed the order faithfully.


    The only one who didn''t know about this was Ramiris.


    And, now


    The strongest existence inside thebyrinth had begun to move.


    It had engulfed itself in a cocoon in order to evolve its ability, but its consciousness had always been


    awake.


    It was always paying attention due to Thought Link, and itpletely grasped the situation.


    Due to its blessing of overwhelming, absolute defense, Ramiris'' safety was ensured.


    Inside thebyrinth, the third fight began.


    Standing in front of Dino was the "Mist Lord (Phantasmal Lord)" Zegion.


    He who was the strongest being in thisbyrinth.


    [1] Beretta''s body. It''s wholly Adamantite.


    [2] Think that his ability has cooldown.
