Chapter 877: Rimuru at the bottom; the final step of the plan
"It looks like we have uninvited guests."
Velgrynd’s expression froze after hearing Rudra’s words.
How could she not understand the meaning of Rudra's words?
This means that an enemy has infiltrated the Imperial Capital.
"Rudra, I'm going to completely wipe out those ignorant guys right now!"
Velgrind was about to activate his perception and catch those hiding in the darkness.
"No need. I just want to chat with these guests who have come from afar."
Rudra stopped Velgrynd and said something meaningful.
At this time, in a magnificent room in the empire.
A man in knight's clothes sat motionless on the sofa, his whole body exuding a sense of silence.
Looking carefully from the feet upwards, you can see that there is a crack on the man's neck that is so tiny that it is almost invisible.
A figure in a black robe appeared silently in the room. This person was not tall, even a little short. The only thing to note was that he had a pair of golden eyes.
Looking at the dead knight in front of him, the figure in the black robe nodded with satisfaction.
This person is none other than Rimuru, who sneaked into the empire to carry out his own "hunting plan"!
"This is the fourth one, and it's killing me!"
Rimuru wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and said something sarcastic.
As it appears, this is the fourth knight from the Imperial Guard that Rimuru has assassinated.
"I don't know how many people Diablo and the others have killed!"
Rimuru muttered to himself as if asking himself.
Because they were the 'sequence knights' with later 'serial numbers', it was particularly easy for Rimuru to assassinate them.
However, we have to admit that even the strength of these knights with lower "serial numbers" should not be underestimated!
Almost every 'Sequence Knight' killed by Rimuru had the strength of 'Sage Level'.
Even among these four people, there is one who is only one step away from becoming an 'awakened' strongman.
However,..., he was still killed by Rimuru.
Although Rimuru's own strength is not that great (in his own opinion), he is still a powerful "True Demon King" after all! He is also a powerful "True Demon King" with "Ultimate Skills".
Assassinating a few "immortal-level" beings is not a problem.
Or rather, it would be strange if he couldn't kill her!
At this moment, in Rimuru's mind, he felt ashamed when he saw his own Slime being completely unaware of its own strength.
As for Rimuru's current attribute template, it can be said that it is absolutely unique.
Coupled with the two ultimate skills of 'King of Gluttony' and 'King of Wisdom' that are like hanging on the wall, it can be said that 'Rimuru's' strength is secretly improving all the time.
If the current 'Rimuru' really unleashes his full strength, he will be the best among all the powerful 'True Demon Lords'.
However, this was something that many people could see, except Rimuru himself.
The 'King of Wisdom' also expressed great admiration.
"Alright. It's almost time to gather."
Rimuru glanced at the sky outside, and estimated the time since the hunting plan. He also realized that it was time to gather and carry out the final step of the "infiltration plan".
That is, launch a surprise attack on their base camp.
Take away as many of those higher-ups as you can.
Even if we can't take any of them away, killing these 'Sequence Knights' is enough.
Thinking of this, Rimuru rushed directly to the meeting place they had agreed on.
Rimuru wasn't the only one who had the same thought.
At this time, Diablo and the others also rushed towards the meeting place designated by Rimuru.
After a while.
Some dark corner of the empire.
A tall man in a black robe with golden pupils appeared here quietly.
Following closely behind, a tall figure also wearing a black robe appeared here.
However, the difference between the second figure and the first figure is that one can subtly detect a touch of snow-white hair through the cloak, and a pair of blood-red pupils hidden under the cloak.
These two were none other than the 'Original Black' Diablo and the 'Original White' Testarossa, who were part of Rimuru's 'Infiltration Plan'.
Testarossa looked at Diablo, who had arrived before her, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her blood-red eyes.
If it were anyone else, Testarossa wouldn't bother with such trivial matters.
But if it was Diablo, who was also an 'original devil', it would be different.
You know, Testarossa, the 'Original White', is very unhappy with Diablo, the 'Original Black'.
Whether it was in the 'Demon Realm' or in the 'Demon Federation'.
Even now they each have their own bosses.
At this moment, neither of them spoke, or rather, they had nothing to say.
After a while, a man who was also wearing a black robe but had short red hair appeared in front of the two.
It was Benimaru.
Looking at Diablo and Testarossa who had already arrived at the meeting place, Benimaru's crimson eyes flickered with a strange color.
"It seems that I'm a little slower than you two!"
"How many did you kill?"
Hong Wan asked the two of them helplessly.
"Yeah. Not much. Killed eight."
Diablo pondered for a moment and then told the number of his kills.
"Seven!"
When Testarossa heard that Diablo had killed one more person than herself, her already unhappy mood became even more unhappy.
"...Uh~~, never mind. I expected that."
Benimaru said as if he had failed.
He only killed five.
Although he is indeed very strong now, he is still a little bit inferior to Diablo and Testarossa, who are extraordinary beings like the "Original Demons".
"Wait a minute, ask Rimuru-sama and Xiao how many they killed."
Although Benimaru's words were calm, the curiosity contained in them was difficult to conceal.
Although Hongwan felt that he might be at the bottom this time.
After a while.
A green figure appeared silently beside the three of them.
It was Xiao, one of the last two.
After seeing Xiao, Hong Wan couldn't wait to ask about the number of Sequence Knights that Xiao had hunted.
"..., the time was short. I didn't kill many."
Xiao was silent for a moment and said lightly.
However, before Hong Wan could be happy, his face immediately stiffened when he heard the number Xiao said.
"Only eleven were killed."
In fact, in addition to killing eleven serial knights, Xiao also killed some guys similar to imperial officers and high-ranking officials.
However, the main target of this operation was the 'Knight', so he didn't take these into account.
After being promoted to the realm of 'True Demon King', Xiao's strength skyrocketed. Apart from his 'skills' and 'race', his physical attributes increased the fastest.
If the time was not too short, 'Xiao' could have slaughtered all the 'Immortal Level' in the 'Imperial Capital' at the fastest speed!
After hearing this number, not only Benimaru's face stiffened, but even Diablo and Testarossa subconsciously turned their gaze towards Xiao.
Ten, eleven! ?
Did they hear it right?! They actually killed 'eleven'!?
Hong Wan didn't know what to say at this time, and he said "only killed eleven". You used the word "only" very cleverly!
Then what about us who have only killed a few people?!
Forget it. I won't talk to this Versailles guy anymore.
Diablo narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Xiao who was leaning against the wall not far away with some surprise.
Originally, Diablo thought he had killed enough, but he didn't expect that Xiao had killed a total of eleven Sequence Knights in such a short time.
Even though those knights are weak, they can't be defeated for long!
It seems that after 'awakening', Senior 'Xiao's' strength improvement is really exaggerated!
Should I say that he is worthy of being the successor that person has high hopes for?
Compared to Diablo's sigh, Testarossa secretly became alert.
She had only killed seven, while Xiao had actually killed a full eleven, a full four more than her!?
If Testarossa is to Diablo
It's about the unwillingness to accept the past, and he is really secretly competing with "Xiao".
There's no other way! Serving the same lord, how can there not be competition?
Not to mention that Xiao's position in the Emperor's heart is much higher than hers!
If I had known earlier, I would have been more reckless. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been suppressed by this guy called 'Xiao'.
hateful!
Testarossa's heart was now completely filled with resentment.
But even if you are not convinced, you have to admit it!
It seems that I can only put in more effort when implementing the last step of the plan, otherwise the lion's share of the credit this time will be taken away by 'Xiao'!
After the four of them waited calmly for a while, Rimuru finally arrived.
Rimuru looked at Diablo and the others who had already arrived except himself, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Is it all so fast? She's the only one missing.
They must have come back without killing many people, otherwise how could they come back so quickly!
Rimuru seemed to have discovered the truth.
Yes! But also.
After all, this is the headquarters of the 'Empire' and is heavily guarded. Even she had to break through layers of encirclement before she could kill as many as four!
Afterwards, Rimuru also noticed the bitterness on the corner of Benimaru's mouth, and his inner guess became more and more confirmed.
Her guess was indeed correct.
As expected, Hongmaru looked like this because he didn't kill many people.
Thinking of this, Rimuru also walked towards Benimaru, and spoke to him while patting his shoulder as if to comfort him.
"Don't be discouraged if you don't kill a few. We'll give them a big wave at the end and make sure they suffer heavy losses."
Looking at Rimuru who was trying to comfort him, Benimaru nodded in defeat.
"Yeah. I was too lazy this time and only killed five. I must put in more effort later!"
Benimaru said firmly.
After hearing what Benimaru said, Rimuru's body stiffened and he turned around like a machine and asked Benimaru.
"You, tell me, how stupid are you!?"
"Five. That should be the lowest. Testarossa killed seven, Diablo killed eight, and Xiao killed a whopping eleven. As expected, I'm at the bottom."
The more Benimaru spoke, the uglier Rimuru's face became. In the end, he had no expression at all and lowered his head.
Hong Wan, who was standing by, also realized that something was wrong, and after he finished speaking, he closed his mouth from the bottom of his heart.
No more chanting.
Diablo, who was standing aside, looked at his master who was in a low mood and quietly moved away a little.
It is obvious that Lord Rimuru is not very happy!
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore. The plan is important, the plan is important!"
Rimuru consoled himself.
And although I killed fewer people, the four I killed must have the earlier serial numbers, for sure!
Of course, only Rimuru himself knows whether this is true or not.
Looking at the bright side, I killed 'four', 'Benimaru' killed 'five', Testarossa killed 'seven', Diablo killed 'eight', and Xiao killed 'eleven'!
If you add it up, they killed a total of thirty-five "Sequence Knights", which are immortal-level beings.
Even if the final plan fails and nothing is taken away, this trip will still be worth it!
Afterwards, Rimuru no longer hesitated and sensed the current situation, wanting to give them a final big blow.
After all, no matter how many 'Immortal Level' you kill, it is not as cost-effective as killing one 'Awakened' strongman.
In his perception, the energy bodies that she had originally named 'Rudra' and 'Velgrind' appeared in the center of the imperial capital, and even accompanied by several powerful auras.
Even the aura of 'Kaguraita Yuuki' is around him.
As for the original location, two superior beings were left behind.
Hmm! They must be cleaning up the battlefield.
good chance.
There was a gleam of brilliance in Rimuru's pale golden eyes. As long as he killed the two people who were cleaning up the battlefield, the operation would be successful.
God is really helping me!
Afterwards, Rimuru led the four of them towards the location of the two higher beings.
At this time, Diablo, who was following behind Rimuru, had a thoughtful look in his eyes when he sensed the only two remaining auras.
However, since Rimuru-sama has given the order, there is no need to think about it.
Moreover, even if there is an accident, with their strength, if they want to leave, the "Empire" will not be able to stop them.
