Chapter 237 In the Northern part - Conclusion

Seeing Velgrynd had become so unexpectedly strong, Velzado couldn't hide her surprise.

The mixed feelings of being happy with her little sister's growth and of rage towards obstacles on her path.

And, she had to acknowledge this as an hindrance. She had no choice but to kill Guy.

(Fine, Velgrynd. I shall recognize you as my enemy.)

And then, finally, she resolved herself to activate the ultimate skill she was hiding, Envious King Leviathan.

However, that was a choice unthinkable for the original Velzado.

After all, if she ends up showing Velgrynd the skill she was hiding as her trump card, it would end up losing its value as a trump card against Demon Lord Guy Crimson.

Velzado, who is supposedly calm, didn't even realize such a simple thing.

No, she couldn't realize.

Her thoughts were now painted over by Regalia Dominion, telling her to defeat the enemies in front of her. *

Still being able to hold her ego — that just goes to show how strong of a spirit Velzado possesses.

However, even Velzado, who has such a strong spirit-

Can't go against the order by Regalia Dominion.

After a moment's hesitation, Velzado released her blades of jealousy towards Velgrynd.

Velgrynd had quickly realized that being able to fight her elder sister Velzado on better than equal terms was due to overcoming and evolving Flame G.o.d Cthugha's superior skills.

Her loss would be inevitable if she didn't have an equal or better skill, as she was losing in terms of total energy.

But now, even though her total energy was still less, she was able to fight efficiently on equal terms with her elder sister. She couldn't help but be surprised at this evolution.

And even that energy was now-

(What is this... connection?-Soul Corridor-? There's this strange energy flowing into me the more I want it...)

That's right, by using the Soul Corridor which was constructed when she was inside Rimuru, it was possible for her to refill energy.

Velgrynd had used up most of her energy when she used Alteration and Ignition with Flame G.o.d Cthugha but, right afterwards, energy came flowing into her via the Soul Corridor and her energy was close to being completely replenished.

I feel like I can't lose-that was Velgrynd's honest thought.

But at that moment, she noticed her elder sister's expression suddenly change.

(Is it coming?!)

Velgrynd put up her guard.

And that hunch was correct-the very next moment, Velzado's trump card was activated against Velgrynd.

"Whiteout Absorb!!"

An attack using all of Velzado's strength.

It was her strongest attack-a combination of skill Patience King Gabriel's Suspended World, Patience King Gabriel's Air Wall and Envious King Leviathan's Absorb.

With that attack coming at her, Velgrynd accelerated her energy to the max to resist it.

"Cardinal Acceleration!!"

White and red-two auroras were formed from the impact.

A severe earthquake occured in the North as snow and ice continuously subliminated and froze, creating a death blizzard.

Velzado emerged victorious.

By using her hidden Ultimate Skill, Envious King Leviathan, Velgrynd's Ultimate Skill was downgraded.

On top of that, for some reason, the energy Velzado was supposed to have used up was recovering.

To degrade the opponent's skills in the battlefield-that was the true essence of Envious King Leviathan's skills.

Moreover, it also has the effect of absorbing the target's energy...

She overwhelmed Velgrynd using her max energy and absorbed that energy back on top of that.

Now that Velgrynd's skills were downgraded, it seemed impossible for her to win.

"That's the end, Velgrynd. I shall praise you that you have improved enough to oppose me. But the result won't change. You're not a threat when I am serious. And now, I have also downgraded your skills. It is impossible for you to have an advantage over me anymore."
