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

She looks kinda familiar...

I will entrust you with the treasure Lady Luminus is hiding.

The ultimate weapon that was used to seal Veldora himself.

Really, what kind of joke is this meant to be?

I mean, a Demon Lord, of all things, protecting you?

Why were you sleeping inside the Holy Ark?

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4

Episode 91: Death and Loss

Why does Granville want to make me and Leon fight?

What is it he's really after?

I have an idea as to what his motive may be.

Yuuki Kagurazaka.

It seems he formed some sort of pact with Granville.

I'm fine with pretending to fight,

but he does get what I'm going for here, right?

Answer.

There is no problem.

Predict Future Attack

Your plans are being kept in alignment thanks to Predict Future Attack.

Then I'll leave the fighting to auto-battle mode

and figure out what Granville's after!

Commencing Appraisal

Results

Ineligible for Appraisal

He can't be Appraised?!

What does this mean? Usurper isn't working.

Why wouldn't a skill designed for use against higher-ranked opponents work?

Usurper is the authority that allows me to steal one skill or art per opponent.

Stolen Successfully

It's why I held off on stealing one during the Trial

and used Copy instead.

Are you confused as to why you can't steal my arts from me?

What surprises you so?

Did you think I was unaware of your secret?

You already stole an ability from me.

Therefore, it will not work on me ever again.

No! I'm sure I didn't—

I thought as much.

Hinata, you are a calculating one.

That is why you are among the most talented of my pupils.

Even among the Holy Knights of the past, few surpassed your level.

But you are unaccustomed to fighting someone on even footing!

Oh, be quiet!

If that's the case, I'll just play my trump card!

Appraisal Target

Gran the Sunday Priest

Force Takeover

Successful

Force Takeover can steal a skill regardless of the opponent's level.

I'll take away his options one by one until I can finish this!

Impossible! I'm certain I was able to steal his skill!

Did he have a backup ready because he foresaw me stealing one?!

What's the matter, Hinata?

You look as if you have no idea what I'm doing!

Did you think I had no countermeasures prepared in advance for you?

What is happening?

And this fatigue...

It's too extreme to be the backlash from Force Takeover!

You look confused.

But it's so very simple.

I am acting in a manner calculated to push you beyond your limits.

Understand? When facing an opponent who matches your level,

the one who wears the other down first wins.

Their judgment becomes dull, and they show more openings.

You are physically experiencing that right now!

Yes... That's true.

He is indeed stronger than me.

Even if Usurper can steal a skill or art from him,

I can't take away the talent he has amassed over a lifetime.

So this is the difference in level that comes from having more experience...

Well deduced.

It appears I have no choice but to fight you in earnest.

That's right. Fight me in earnest.

Surpassing me is but a faraway dream otherwise.

Here I come, Granville!

I lend you my breast, Hinata!

Don't bother. Ya can't beat me, brother of Roy.

Is that so?

Also, I have a name: Louis.

I am essentially Roy's twin,

but I would rather you didn't address me as his brother!

I'm tellin' ya, it's no use.

What the hell is that power?!

I'm finally getting into the swing of things.

That was an application of Blood Ray.

Of course, now that I've shown it to you once, I doubt it'll work again.

Well, this ain't good. What's he after, anyway?

So you can die here and now!

Too bad for you.

Roy and I aren't twins. We are one and the same.

Yes, when Roy died, I regained my original strength.

I was once known as the Bloody Lord.

Lady Luminus defeated me and made me her subordinate,

but I was just too savage for her,

so she used her powers to divide me into two.

She then made me the cloistered emperor and Roy a Demon Lord.

And that is why I can defeat you—

That was really dangerous, y'know.

Impossible!

We're outta here, Footman!

Yer gonna die if this keeps up!

I am loath to admit it, but you may be right!

You won't escape!

Gunther, take care of Lady Luminus!

So they were nothing but a diversion?

Which means... their goal is...

I know this creature is no longer Maria.

But I can still feel her...

Gran turned the woman he loved so much into a Servant and sent her to fight me!

I now see the extent of Gran's resolve toward this battle.

But it isn't enough!

Surely Gran did not think Maria could defeat me.

So his goal must be...

Lady Luminus!

Unfortunately, the intruders have escaped.

Louis is currently pursuing them, and I will also...

Not that... Anything but that!

Lady Luminus!

Damn you, Granville!

You would go this far, Gran?!

Gunther!

Find them! Find the intruders at any cost!

Understood!

Who could be behind this?

Only one of a level comparable to my own could carry that out of here!

One Granville entrusted his true goal to...

If it is not protected until the time is right,

the world may be destroyed!

I will not allow that!

What is this?!

That light...

A-Are we gonna be okay?

Rimuru-sensei... Big Sister Hinata...

Chloe!

Hey, wait!

Oh, damn it!

I said wait!

Rimuru-sensei...

Big Brother Leon?

Luminus...

Lady Luminus...

Granville.

It would seem you have genuinely made the decision to be my enemy.

Impressive, Lady Luminus.

It seems even my Servant was not enough to slow you down.

You fool!

No matter how much fake power you give it,

a doll with no will is no match for a real human!

You should be well aware of that!

I am, of course.

Then why?!

Because it was necessary.

All I have done was for the sake of this moment.

What are you...

It can't be...

So that's it... You...

You put all the love energy I gave you into Maria!

Now that Maribel, the hope of all humanity, is dead,
