Chapter 28 - Evolution

A/N: Quick warning, I did something that may or may not make you hate me. Just keep that in mind as you read 🤣

""ja-Jahil-sama!""

In different sections as well, other people have popped up.

"well Argi-kun seems to need some help, and I'm not just willing to watch my beautiful creations (enki and siren) to die!" Twilight said as he fired a blood ray at the monsters swarm.

With him are four beings with black horns on their heads. Each one uses a different type of skill to eradicate more of the enemy.

"Argi-chan could have just ask and we would have helped, guess he forgot about us, how sad..." Sylvia fake sobbed as she kills of several cryptids.

"To think that he would be the one asking for our support." Luminas recalled as she slice through using her sword. Gunther nodded as he recalled as well.

Boss needs your help!!! Lend us your strength please.

"well if my friend Jahil asked like that how can I refuse, am I right? you two!" Dagruel shouted as he punches through tens of cryptid bodies.

"" of course"" kisara and Basara agreed as they fight as well.

"Good more people! You lot could have arrived a little sooner!!! Like maybe two months ago!!!" Velgrynd complained.

"now now, they're here that's what's important. As far as I could sense... The strongest ones are." Velzard sense. "velgrynd you know Dagruel, Sylvia, and Luminas right?"

"eh? Well yes, I've met them before why?"

"tell them these."

(Dagruel!, Luminas!, Sylvia! Can you hear me?)

(((yes/yeah/sure)))

(we're going to open the barrier from where you are and you three go inside and rampage there. The others could deal with the stragglers outside.)

(but won't we be decreasing the manpower outside?) Dagruel asked.

(don't worry Velzard-nee said that Misery and Rain are coming with their subordinates.)

The three, Dagruel, Luminas, and Sylvia all went inside the barrier and started slaughtering through the thousands of cryptids.

Few more days of Argent sensing for the blank universe and finally he has located its exact coordinates.

"HAHAHA FOUND IT!!! FINALLY!!!" Argent laughed as he pushed his arms forward and borrowed magicules from the orbs of Veldanava's magicules. More than 10% was taken from the already half empty orb.

"GUY!!! we'll seal it here! Tell Feldway!!!"

"Got it! FELDWAY!!" Guy shouted as he rushed to feldway who was with some of the other seraphims, he then explained the plan of sealing Ivarage to the universe and nodded.

The seraphims, a man with long black hair and a woman with red wavey hair, acted as bait to go towards them.

They fired of several types of magics in its face to get it's attention. Succeeding, Ivarage started attacking them and slowly but surely, they manage to move it towards the location.

With Feldway's signal the ones who are hiding behind Ivarage using Lait's ultimate skill are preparing to fire a large attack that will push it towards the gate.

"NOW!!!" Feldway signaled everyone, and they all did their jobs in unison.

The bait started rushing out of the way, as the ones behind fired a large magic attack that is more than half the size of Ivarage.

Argent who was patiently waiting while shaking and sweating bullets finally released and opened the gate to the blank universe.

Ivarage was pushed towards the gate, a third of it passing through. However...

"that's insane..."

Ivarage was holding the sides of the gate stopping its movement from going in the gate. It held using all its limbs to grab the sides of the gate. That was just about the same size as it.

Everyone started giving it their all to push it back. Realizing the situation it was in, albeit only instinctively, it roared once again.

*ROARRRR!!!!!*

everything shook, the ground, the sky, the barrier collapses as well. Releasing the thousands of monsters still alive. But that wasn't the worse that happened.

*CRACKS"

*CRACKS*

*CRACKS*

*CRACKS*

*CRACKS*

Gates left and right started opening, no, it would be weird to call them gates. They were more like cracks in space. Like whatever was behind them was forcing to get through.

Then once the gates are fully open, the monsters inside started coming out one after the other.

Cryptids of all shapes and sizes with large amount of strengths started rushing and attacking everyone.

Each one of them having the strength of a demon lord seed on average. With their numbers in the hundreds it'll give Ivarage enough time to escape the gate it is being sucked in.

The gates where the Cryptids came from are still pouring out more of their kinds as time goes.

"Not so fast!" Argent shouted as he forcibly closed one of the gates. The monster that was passing through sliced in half.

"Good! Can you do that to the others as well?" Guy asked as he rushed to Argent's side.

Argent was breathing raggedly, his eyes swimming around trying to keep focus. His body shaking and barely able to stand.

"unfortunately... that big gate... sucking that Monster.... I am...using other side...universe gravity... To pull it... taking everything... I have right now...."

"how long can you last?"

"3...minutes... With orb magicules... Maybe... 10..."

"Alright hang in there, we'll do something about the others then push it in" Guy rushed to join the others in pushing Ivarage in the gate, while the others kill of the cryptids that keep coming."

Lait was standing in the sky looking rather blankly at a certain monster. One which is currently rampaging as it pleases.

"What are you doing here?" Lait's voice, the words lace with anger.

As soon as it heard that voice, it stopped all types of movement. Not even daring to look to her direction.

"Do I need to repeat myself?"

Cipactli immediately turned around and hit its face to the ground making a small earthquake.

"Apologies. Master. I. Called. Came. As. Ordered. My lord." Cipactli tried explaining word for word.

(A/N: Master= Lait, Lord=ivarage)

"Hoh?" Cipactli shivered as it heard Lait's quizzical voice. "So you dare follow someone else's orders?"

"N-No! I. Follow. Master. Only."

"and yet you're here?"

"that. Is..." it couldn't make any arguments, firstly it doesn't want to anger her as she is already mad. Secondly Cipactli came here in a similar way it orders the Adaro.

By a type of mind control or instinctual orders. Cipactli only regained consciousness, because of its much more instinctual fear of Lait than its loyalty to its lord.

"I'm not in a good mood right now okay? If you don't want punishment you'll do as I say word for word got that?"

Cipactli nodded furiously the wind shook the surroundings. Lait pointed at the other large Cryptids.

"Kill them." Following it's master's order. It started rushing towards the other Cryptids and started attacking and killing them.

Using its Jaws to cut through their throat. It's claws to cut their bodies. And it's tentacles to both pierce and hold them down.

*whistle* "That girl is something else" Guy commented watching the scene.

Meanwhile Argent.

Shit, shit! If I could only have more power.. Those monsters will keep coming out.. This is just an endurance battle. And I hate to say it, I'm losing here!

Then thought communication and thought acceleration activated.

(do you want power?)

(Veldanava?! Get your ass here and fucking help us!!!)

(shut it! The only reason the planet hasn't died is because of me! I'm busy can't you see!?)

(I can't see, I'm busy trying to pull this big ass monster in the other side!!!)

(and I have an idea so you could pull it off.)

(you do?! Great do it!!!)

(but it depends on your desires if you could do it. This will only give you a boost, but if you want Major changes, you have to want it like no one ever before.)

(just do it! Even just a boost would be very helpful right now!)

(don't make me regret this okay? RIMURU!)

(eh....?)

Then Argent's body started to glow, the evolution for his body has started happening.

Shit! Evolution right now?! Really!! I can't be weaken right now. That idiot, giving me a name is he dumb?

<< confirmed all requirements of demon lord evolution acquired. Commencing the Harvest festival.>>

This concludes the evolution.>>

(A/N: VoW: "are you 🤬 happy now!?!" )

Once the evolution finishes Arge- no Rimuru felt large amount of power in his grasp.

With a wave of his hand he closed one of the gates in front of him almost instantly.

The others all looked at him, realizing that he has gotten stronger than before and that he would be the needed asset to finally finish the fight.

"Argent/Argent-sama" a blue and a blonde haired pair rushed to Rimuru.

"I'm okay you two, anyway velgrynd are you sure it's fine to leave your post?"

"the barriers down anyway, your subordinates are hunting down the escapees. More than that what happened to you, you seem stronger."

"ahh, hahaha well.. I'm no longer Argent. You should call me Rimuru now."

""WHAT!!""

"who-who named you Ar-Rimuru-sama."

"Veldanava did, I'll explain later have Guy gather all the strong ones that can fight that monster and we'll push it together and I'll seal it."

"I thought brother will?"

"yes, but I could do it too." Rimuru grinned. "have the rest finish of the other monsters"

"right" "understood"

The two left Rimuru and started telling the others about the plan. Meanwhile Rimuru focuses in closing the gates one at a time.

While he did get strong enough to simultaneously close a gate while maintaining the gate Ivarage is trying to escape from.

It will still take a toll on him, if he over use it.

Once all the gates have been sealed of everyone one capable of dealing even a slight amount of damage to Ivarage gathered together.

All of them are clustered together and started gathering all their strength. And each of them in unison shot their best attacks. This being a large magicule Bullet as large as Ivarage itself.

""""CARDINAL BANISHMENT!!!""""

Ivarage tried countering with his breath but...

"Reflective Gate!"

A gate appeared just a few meters from Ivarage's mouth absorbing the breath into thin air. The combined attack of the others hit it in the face.

And slowly but surely more than half its body is inside the gate.

"ROAR!!!"

It tried calling for more of its Cryptids by forcibly opening gates. However no gates ever appeared.

"too bad huh" rimuru raised his hand in front of him and opened a gate. inside the gate came out the Breath attack of Ivarage, giving it the final push it fully insert Ivarage inside the universe.

"Cometh, cometh, cometh, I beseech thee to scream forth from the depths of the abyss and engulf mine enemy into your undying embrace.

Become the incarnation of imprisonment and banish my enemies into your chamber for eternitities to come! COSMIC PRISON!"

Ivarage was then pulled even more inside the gate and was bind by glowing light chains.

Then the gate started to close, and not just close. Chains started coming out of the edges of the gate and started covering the gate shut, then finally disappeared.

"is it over?"

A/N: whew finally done with this fight. I can't create a climax of a fight to save my life.

Anyway "did you just sacrifice Great sage!?!! Wtf!!!" yes, yes I did. Why? That's a secret or more like I felt like it hahaha!

(actually just ask my hands, they moved on their own. I just let them move as they please, turning my mind off.)

Poor cipactli... Just experienced ptsd. Imagine getting out of mind control because of ptsd.

So for those asking how did Veldanava know Argent's name as Rimuru. Remember their one on one talk in the mountains. About Argent's future memories.

Also very sorry! But I'm taking a break and won't be posting next week. Of course with good reason! My thesis is coming and other reports that need my attention.

I also need to reread and think through how I want my story to continue. Cause in my latest draft, I basically made a plot hole in one of Rimuru's current skill. It being that Corrupt only allows a limited number of people to turn.

I originally didn't plan for rimuru to be full primordial so I made that skill. But since he did became one, the skill became useless since he got the ability to make descendants.

Believe it or not, I really just let my hands move when I write. That's why even though I said I wouldn't turn rimuru into a full primordial he became one. Even though I said making a new seraphim is a pain, Lait was created.

I know this is only a fanfic but I really enjoy making it so I don't want to create TOO many plot holes and inconsistencies.

Anyway see you next, next week!
