The Destroyer Tyrant, Milim, from that time i got reincarnated as a slime, stood in the center of the arena, hands on her hips, smiling as she surveyed her surroundings.
"Not bad, not bad, there are so many spectators! This is good! Bring more people!"
The reason she had this thought was because in the past, whenever Milim started a battle, many people and monsters would be scared away.
Because they were afraid that in the next moment, they would be caught in the aftermath, eventually becoming shattered like the battlefield, or even turning to dust... Meanwhile, below the stage, Chen Hai and Izawa Shizue stood in the crowd, shaking their heads slightly.
He had originally brought Milim to experience the Adventurer culture of this world, but he didn't expect her to have so much fun as soon as she got on stage.
Just then, Saeko Busujima, who had already applied to challenge, took a step forward.
This young girl, who hadn't been an Adventurer for long, was gradually gaining fame in Orario.
Although she had the identity of 'Chen Hai's friend,' Adventurers who truly paid attention to her knew very well that Saeko Busujima was a talented warrior.
Facing someone challenging her for the first time, Milim naturally didn't intend to finish the battle quickly.
Moreover, she had also promised Chen Hai that she wouldn't cause trouble in this plane.
If she fought seriously, not to mention that the girl in front of her would be instantly killed, this street, even with magical arrays protecting it, would turn into ruins in an instant.
Without thinking about these things further, Milim tilted her head, sizing up her opponent as she asked:
"I forgot to say earlier... My name is Milim, what's your name?"
"Saeko Busujima."
After saying this, Saeko Busujima bowed slightly and then added with a serious expression:
"Please guide me."
Milim blinked.
"Busujima? That's an interesting name! Come on, come on, let me see how many seconds you can last!"
Saeko Busujima didn't answer. Instead, she slowly drew her katana, specially designed for arena matches—though unsharpened, it was sufficient to simulate a real sword duel.
Watching the new champion and the new challenger, the hostess and referee took a step back and slowly exited the stage.
"Begin!"
Once she had fully withdrawn, the referee gave the command.
Milim remained empty-handed, standing in place with a cheerful smile.
"Come on! Let me see what you've got!"
Saeko Busujima's eyes narrowed, and the girl, without any hesitation, shot out like the wind!
She didn't recklessly charge, but instead circled at an extremely high speed, searching for an opening.
Her footwork was precise, each step landing on the optimal point for leverage, her blade constantly aimed at Milim's vital points.
Whoosh—!
The blade flashed, heading straight for Milim's face.
Milim tilted her head slightly, easily dodging it without even raising a hand.
Saeko Busujima remained calm, her blade shifting to a horizontal slash at the waist!
Milim lightly jumped, and the blade swept past her feet.
"Very quick reactions..."
Saeko Busujima calmly analyzed in her mind.
The movements of the seemingly young girl before her appeared casual, yet were utterly flawless.
Her strength, speed, and perception... were all excellent.
This also meant that a direct frontal assault would be useless; she had to use skill and rhythm to disrupt her opponent.
So Saeko Busujima suddenly changed her tactics. Her blade no longer aimed directly at vital points but instead thrust at Milim's limbs and joints with extremely rapid frequency, forcing her to parry.
At the same time, her footwork constantly changed, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes advancing, sometimes retreating, attempting to break her opponent's rhythm.
"Oh? A little interesting!"
Milim finally showed a hint of interest, starting to block the blade with her palms.
Each collision produced a metallic 'clang, clang' sound, giving onlookers the impression that 'Milim's arms were made of steel'.
At this moment, Saeko Busujima's swordplay flowed like water, combining offense and defense, each strike imbued with the techniques she had learned during this period.
Chen Hai naturally took all of this in.
Saeko Busujima's 'combat intelligence' was very high.
However... it had no effect on Milim.
The gap in basic stats could not be compensated for by technique.
"Three seconds... five seconds... ten seconds..."
The audience below held their breath, silently counting time.
"That Milim is very relaxed."
Someone exclaimed.
"The challenger is very fast, and I heard she's a newcomer!"
Chen Hai stood below the stage, appreciating Saeko Busujima's efforts during this time.
Fifteen seconds... twenty seconds... * 0 Seeking fresh flowers
Saeko Busujima's breathing became rapid, but her eyes remained calm.
She suddenly feigned an attack, her blade a blur, and seizing the moment Milim slightly turned, she unleashed a fierce spinning slash, launching a follow-up attack.
Bang!
The attack landed.
However, to be precise, Milim caught the blade with one hand.
"Not bad! You've improved!"
"Twenty-three seconds!"
The audience shouted.
Just as everyone thought she could last a full thirty seconds—
Milim suddenly struck! She grabbed the blade with one hand and gave a gentle twist. Saeko Busujima felt an irresistible surge of immense power, and her katana flew out of her hand!
Immediately after, Milim gave a gentle push, and Saeko Busujima flew out of the arena like a kite with a broken string!
..."Twenty-five seconds!"
The referee announced.
The crowd below was in an uproar!
Just as Saeko Busujima was about to hit the ground, Chen Hai appeared at the landing spot and steadily caught her.
"Well done, Yazi."
"Chen Hai... I knew you were here, so... I wanted to prove myself to you, but the friend you brought is too strong..."
Saeko Busujima showed a bitter expression.
"I have seen your growth."
"Is that so..."
"It surprises me."
Chen Hai praised the girl in his arms again.
Just then, Milim jumped off the stage and came over with a cheerful smile.
"Hey, Chen Hai! This woman is strong! I declare—from now on, this arena match will be renamed 'Milim's Adventurer Challenge'!"
Everyone was stunned.
"The rules are simple!"
Milim raised her hand high.
"Anyone who can last thirty seconds against me will be rewarded with one hundred gold coins! And you'll also get Chen Hai's attention!"
"...You just want to play around with people, don't you?"
Chen Hai couldn't help but retort when he heard Milim using his name for 'advertising'.
Milim blinked, maintaining her smile from before.
"It's very interesting! Isn't it?"
Holding arena matches in another world and having fun with the weaklings of this world had become Milim's 'temporary little pleasure' now.
