That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (転生したらスライムだった件)

A long, long time ago,

only four True Dragons existed in this world.

The very first one had a child with a human woman.

After giving most of his power to his child,

he consolidated his remaining power into a crystal,

creating a being that has been referred to as his double: the Elemental Dragon.

The Dragon Princess did not see or know her parents growing up,

but the baby dragon her father had given her was always by her side.

Thanks!

You're most welcome!

It's so sweet.

What's its name?

Name?

It doesn't have a name!

Huh?

I-I have a name in mind for it!

But... apparently I'm so strong that I shouldn't name things.

Oh...

That's weird.

Whether it has a name or not, it's my friend!

That's all that matters!

Wait up!

Wait! Wait!

Wait up!

They thought those warm days would go on forever.

But then...

The Great Sorcerous Nation, at its peak of prosperity,

killed the baby dragon in a plot to take control of the Dragon Princess.

The Dragon Princess was overcome with grief...

and then she went mad, her fury burning like a raging fire.

By the time she returned to her senses thanks to

the Queen of Spirits and one Demon Lord,

the prosperity of the Great Sorcerous Nation was a thing of the past.

The tens of thousands of lives lost in her rampage caused the Dragon Princess

to awaken as a Demon Lord.

And then there was a miracle:

the baby dragon came back to life.

But because dying had resulted in the loss of its soul,

it transformed into the Chaos Dragon,

an evil being with no will or purpose.

Whether out of anger over having been killed

or sorrow out of making its friend sad,

the Chaos Dragon was swallowed up by hatred and destroyed all in its path.

I see...

My friend is no longer...

So the Dragon Princess sealed her friend away herself.

That was the Dragon Princess's first undertaking as a Demon Lord,

and the origin story of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion.

Episode 83: Milim's Friend

Milim!

You okay?

Y-Yes...

Don't worry. It's all gonna work out.

Rimuru...

It's huge. So this is the Chaos Dragon...

The former Elemental Dragon that Milim sealed away long ago.

Milim's friend, huh?

Rimuru, what in the world can we do?

It's devouring all the magicules in the area and growing nonstop.

It's already too big to seal away!

And it's deeply corrupted.

We can't heal it. It's been taken over by Greed.

Still...

Still... I can't kill my friend!

Milim...

What power...

Milim!

The castle!

Shion! Gobta! Are you okay?!

Great Rimuru!

Everything's fine here.

We just made it back to the upper level!

The elder is evacuating everyone!

Please remain calm!

You'll be safe inside the tower!

Help them with the evacuation!

I'll keep the Chaos Dragon's attacks focused on this direction!

Got it!

You can count on us!

Just killing it would be easy enough for Milim,

but I don't want to make her do that to her friend.

There has to be a way.

I just need to think...

What is that light?

Answer.

It is most likely the Elemental Dragon's soul.

Huh? Its soul?

Didn't it turn into the Chaos Dragon because it lost that?

Affirmative

Affirmative.

However, after Appraising the being itself,

Appraisal

I have confirmed the presence of the soul and its vessel, the astral body.

Presence Confirmed

Only a portion of the soul remains,

and it is no longer a pure soul due to the corruption.

Its original soul can be considered lost.

I get it.

But still, it clearly hasn't lost its light.

Milim!

Milim, I need you to attack the Chaos Dragon.

It's just like with Charybdis.

You can attack it without destroying its core, right?

While you do that, I'll grab its soul!

B-But a body that big won't feel any attack that doesn't use my full power!

If I mess it up, I could destroy everything!

You learned restraint, didn't you?

Your friend's trying its hardest, too.

Show it what you can do.

All right.

I'll trust you, Rimuru.

Yep! Leave it to me!

I said that so confidently,

but I can't guarantee this will work.

Now that I've given her hope,

if I screw this up, it'll hurt her all the more.

But still...

There's no other way!

Here goes, my friend!

Let the glimmer of the stars fill your eyes!

Dragon Buster!

They've locked horns! It's now or never!

Do it, Raphael!

Understood. Yes, my lord.

It's so heavy...

This is insane.

I can feel my magicules dwindling...

But...

There it is!

That must be Maribel's Greed.

If there's no malice, it'll be easy to purify, but...

It disappeared?!

Answer.

It appears the individual named Yuuki Kagurazaka

has defeated the individual named Maribel Rozzo.

Now?! Are you kidding me?!

But still, nice timing!

There!

That just leaves...

Milim! Can you up the output?

But...

Don't worry.

I've got the Elemental Dragon's core.

Let's finish this in one go!

All right. I'll leave it to you!

Drago-Nova!

I know I asked her to do it,

but it's crazy that she could boost her output even more from that.

Material body destroyed.

Spiritual body destroyed.

Remnants of manas and soul confirmed beyond the astral body.

Here we go.
