Tempest History [Tensura X Slime No Taoshite]

Incoming War

Shalsha pov:

It's been several months since i've stayed at Demon lord guy castle, during these months i surprisingly blended quite well with guy and the others

Guy may seemed intimidating at first sight due to his overwhelming strength, but he is quite easy going, while velzard seemed gentle with me but i can tell that she has a scary side..

Right now i'm in the middle of playing chess againts guy, since he lost to me several times he insist me to play with him

"Shalsha, let say if this world is just super big chessboard, what role do you yourself in?" Guy suddenly asked

"....a pawn"

Guy hearing this let out a chuckles

"You usually is so prideful, it's a bit odd to hear this from you"

"I don't want to hear that from you, but i admit that i'm prideful but i'm not stupid, there are more beings that hold a ridiculous power" i said while moving my chess piece

"Is that so? Then rimuru is surely the king for you right?" Guy asked again

"No..."

"Hm?"

"Papa is the most powerful, he is the being who stand at the top....he is the player"

"As i expected, you are really interesting, but what i'm talking right is about you....like you said there are more beings that far more powerful than you, and remember, you are nothing more than a pawn"

"Hahahahaha!! You are right guy, but a being with just power and no brain is not a match to me...they are just disposable tools"

Guy stay silent for while, and after i defeated him with checkmate he look at me in the eyes

"Great minds think alike" he said that as he leave me alone

"He is improving...so fast at that, Demon lord guy, you might be an annoying obstacle in the future.." i mutter as i gaze at the chess board

*

At the empire, more precisely at the throne room

Two being can be seen talking to each other

"So how about the army? Anything to report?" The emperor asked

"Nothing, everything is proceeding smoothly" the girl with the blue haired answered

"That's fine then...we need to hurry, i can't contain [Justice King] any longer, i want to end the game before i die.." the emperor said as he gently hold the girl hand

"Rudra..."

Rimuru pov:

Tempest control room,

I and benimaru has been staying here for almost a week now, yet the eastern empire army show no sign of movement

"They need to passed by our nation to reach the rest of western nations, they will make their movement eventually.." benimaru who sense my impatient said calmly

"Well, it's alright then, and azusa, have you contacted king gazel yet?" I asked as dwargon king is another pathway to reach the western nations

"Yes, but dwargon can't seem to find any army in their border which mean this situation is only occur to us" Azusa answered
