Rimuru in the shadow

The End?

Rage it is or regret, mixed with the expression of fear, they can't understand what to do. The shook freezes their body as they scream in their mind.

Before they can take any action, "That's one less to count." The words reach their ear drums, she was on top of them, floating in the air, no one dare face her.

The ground started to glow purple as it reflects the radiating light of the new spell she prepared. "It will be quick and painless." She gives her best wishing before they disperse in nothingness. "Gravity coll—"

"Not that quick." Shadow said, directing a kick to her guts, but she did not budge an inch. --A barrier, so annoying.

He tries to brute force through it, throwing multiply punches at it. But none work, not a single scratch was on it.

While the other shifted Delta's body to a safer place. Somehow they had managed to stable her condition, but it may not long last.

"The artificial heart may had stabilized her, But it will be hard to maintain." Gamma said, gazing at Beta and Epsilon who are beside Delta.

She lays there motionless whilst Beta and Epsilon having their hand on her chest as they maintain the syntactic slime heart and making sure its beats.

"Is there a chance to safe her?" Alpha queried, moisture appeared in her eye as she looked at Delta.

Various memories flooded in her mind, the time she spent with her, the efforts she did to educate her and on top of that her childish behavior, she will never going to forget that.

"As long as we reached Eta's lab... there still 0.01% percent chance." Gamma stated.

"Then you should leave now." Alpha said, her voice clearly showing her sorrow and determination. "Did you not listen!" she shouted.

"YES!! Three of you go with Delta!" Gamma ordered, pointing to Beta, Epsilon and Zeta. They nodded and leaved the place in a sec.

As everyone now here understands the situation and what they should do, there was no opposes to any of command. Both the matter in hand is no less to each other in importance.

The remaining members headed straight to the battle field. But things never went smooth as the child demon awaits them in the passage way.

"My lord not want interference...do you oppose it?" He questioned the trio.

Three of them looked at each other before giving a nod. They rushed at him, launching combos at him but he swiftly dodged them.

"Now go Alpha!!"

"We will stop him!!"

The two of them shouted as they created a path for her to go. Taking the opportunity, she runs as fast she can, "I will come back... I will come back with lord shadow... "She mumbled, tears coming out from her eyes but she didn't turn back, holding herself, she run until the exit was in her grasp.

"...Now it's my turn." She said, sending shiver down Shadow's spine. "...to check your limits."

Tens of hundreds punches hit him in a second, his body hold by the inertia unable to flung in air, he feels the pain throughout his torso as his rib cage shattered, his lungs collapse and he suffer to breath.

She ended her onslaught with a massive hit, sending him to crash in ground, the impact created a crater on the place as dust cloud rose and covered it.

"LORD SHADOW!!!" Alpha shouted at top of her lunges as she watched the event unfold in front of her, All she wanted to assist him, yet she was not there when he need her, she screamed at her inability.
