Chapter 127 - Charybdis… again

————A couple days later————

"Hello everyone, you all enjoying a nice day!?" I walked into the packed meeting room and immediately realised that something was happening, "Wow, I came in here with the completely wrong energy, didn't I?"

Trya saw me and decided to fill me in, "Hello master, it's good to see you but this is an emergency."

"Let me guess… Charybdis has been revived and has been sparked with unimaginable anger and rage." I guessed which made the room fall silent.

"I guess we can call that an educated guess then?" Trya said in surprise.

"Naa, I can sense Charybdis magical signature spiking at the edge of the forest since this morning." I said while shrugging my shoulders.

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I looked to Milim who was extremely down, " What happened to her, she looks like someone stabbed her in the heart."

Shuna: " We denied her any part in the battle that's about to take place. We can't keep relying on Milim… aswell as you lord Simon, for that matter of fact."

" Hey now, no need to get aggressive on me, I completely agree with you."

" Hey Simon, be honest. With the help of all of Tempest fighting forces and the Pegasus knights, do you believe that we can defeat Charybdis?" Rimuru asked warily.

" Oh god no. Tempest would certainly be able to defeat the megaladons but Charybdis is too powerful for you to take on… you could defeat him but it would take a couple hours at best."

My words immediately soured the mood throughout the entire room and everyone wore grave expressions.

Benimaru: " What is it that we have to look out for lord Simon?"

" Well it's not something to look out for but the two things that will make this fight so difficult is two specific extra skills. First is Ultraspeed regeneration which is pretty self-explanatory and the second is Magic jamming which passively reduces the effectiveness of magic attacks in a certain radius around the user… which is basically terrible for monsters."

And now everyone was not happy about the sudden information but Rimuru was confused about how I had gotten this information, which had gotten me nervous.

But Trya answered on how I got that information, " 50 years ago, Master had summoned Charybdis and killed him just so he could use their specific body parts to create a new droid." Trya purposely avoided my throat slashing gesture to signal she should shut up.

Everyone looked at me with surprise and I just looked away from everyone gaze.

" There is one way I could level the playing field against Charybdis." Rimuru said thoughtfully.

" Oh, enlighten me dear slime." I said sarcastically.

" What if I used the power that you blessed me with?"

I looked at Rimuru, impressed by his boldness, " You want to use chaos magic? That's fine but like I said before, you have to make sure that chaos doesn't disintergrate your soul and consume you."

Everyone in the room was in awe of this revelation, their ruler had gotten the power of their god and yet he couldn't even handle it.

" Well then, let's go on to battle now."

————————————————

We had arrived at the battlefield where we found that damn sky whale and it's thirteen megaladons that were flying closer to us.

The first megaladon was scorched in a hell flare by Benimaru.

The second was subdued by Geld and his orcs and then dealt a killing blow by Gabiru with his vortex spear.

The third was dealt a continuous powerful onslaught by the Pegasus knights, suffering incredible injury and ultimately dying.

The fourth was then brought down to the ground by Gobta and his goblin riders while Hakurou watched how their training was coming along… needless to say, he was disappointed.

It was at this point that Milim had appeared out of boredom, " Hey Let me take out a couple." She pestered Rimuru into lettting her off her leash.

" Hey Milim, come lay here!" I called from a distance while laying in a hammock while in swimming pants and sunglasses.

"Why the hell do you have that kinda fit on!?" Rimuru shouted back.

"We're fighting flying sharks and a sky whale, beach attire felt appropriate!"

Everyone turned their attention back to the battle where they saw the fifth get controlled by Souei's strings which was then used to bite into a sixth one.

Then Shion flew into the sky onto Ranga's back to strike together. Shion took out her sword and split the next in half which Ranga sent out a bolt of black lightning to incinerate another.

Hakurou finally decided to intervene into the struggle of his students when he saw they had failed and with nothing but a sword, he completely atomized it.

(A/N: seriously, someone needs to check that guys sword skills.)

It was now that Charybdis was all alone and the entire army was now closing in onto the giant whale.

Shion, Ranga and Souei were on the creature in an attempt to attack it at close range but then it had released its scales that swarmed them and completely bombarded them.

The three had fallen to the ground and attempted to block and dodge the scales but to no avail they had failed and were prepared to lay their lives down.

Yet, now Rimuru had stepped in and completely devoured the scale swarm, "Let me handle this."

Rimuru took off and shot out a beam of black lightning that completely scorched the skin of the whale get it had regenerated back almost instantly.

'Crap. This is gonna be a pain.' Rimuru thought when he saw the regeneration.

————————————————

It had reached sunset and Charybdis was only damaged fifty percent, with Rimuru's endurance and his regeneration, he couldn't fully use Chaos magic.

The most he could do was strengthen his already existing spells which had made a huge difference.

But it wasn't enough and now they couldn't fully kill off this giant whale.

"Damn you… damn you Pneuma… damn you Simon." A voice of anger and anguish came from the whale.

"Wait Pneuma and Milim." Rimuru had Great sage perform diagnostics on it and found that the possessed body had a deep seated anger.

'So I was overthinking it this whole time and their anger was actually placed against Simon and Milim… wait I made both of them stay out of this fight… and now they're sleeping!' Rimuru's magic sense panned to the tree that he was surveying from previously.

There he saw Milim sleeping against the trunk of the tree and me knocked out in my hammock.

"Hey Milim, Simon." Rimuru mentally messaged to us which woke us both up immediately.

Milim scurried awake and pretended to be awake the whole time, me on the other hand tried to go back to sleep, " Let me guess, you couldn't completely defeat Charybdis and now you've found out that your intuition was wrong and it's actually after Milim."

"Close… it's after both you and Milim." Rimuru answered which immediately made me get up.

Both me and Milim flew over and I immediately manifested proper clothes on.

Milim: "Does that mean I get to absolutely pummel this monster now."

Simon: "Wait a second, why don't you allow me to beat Charybdis and save Phobio, this doesn't require your destructive actions."

Milim: "HEY!!!"

Rimuru: "Wait Phobio… as in the black leopard fang under Carrion? Wait, did you know it was Phobio this whole time?!"

I look at Rimuru with a look of you are stupid, "Rimuru you have a hyper intelligent AI in your head, you should be more appreciative of her." I turned my attention back to Milim, " Milim, if you let me take this then I will summon thousands of Charybdis for you to fight without consequence."

" Ok then! But you better keep to your promise!"

" Ok then." As I flew forward, a swarm of scales flew at me and then the next moment

…They vanished.

Suddenly tendrils of fog came out of my cloak and attached themselves to Charybdis. The tendrils spread fog across the blue body and in two seconds, Charybdis entire body was enveloped in fog.

The next second the fog dissipated and the whale inside ceased to exist. No trace, no sight, nothing.

The forces on the ground had seen as the monster that they had been attacking for hours with barely any leeway and I just erased it's existence entirely.
