"No way!"
"This month's honey hasn't finished being collected yet."
"Aaaah~"
Milim cried out in disappointment.
"However..."
Rimuru took out a lollipop and handed it to Milim.
"A new flavor, cola flavored."
"Really?!"
Milim excitedly took it and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mmm~ It tastes so good!"
She squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
"Ho, you've even researched and developed cola."
At this moment, Draco's voice came from inside the teleportation array, and he walked out with Albedo and a group of Ogre executives.
"Third Brother, this recipe..."
"I know, I know, I'll hand it over in a bit."
Rimuru shook his head helplessly.
With a cheat like the 「Great Sage」, Rimuru could always develop all sorts of amazing things.
And because of technology sharing, Draco naturally asked for it.
"Don't be unhappy, I brought you something good too."
Seeing Rimuru's depressed face, Draco laughed and casually took out a fragment of the Storm Great Tempest's Magic Core.
"What is this?" Rimuru asked curiously.
"Something delicious."
Draco joked.
"Wow~~ I want to eat it, I want to eat it!"
Hearing this, Milim's eyes immediately lit up, and she pounced forward impatiently.
When she saw it was the Magic Core of the Storm Great Tempest, she turned back huffily.
"What, and here I thought it was something good," she complained.
Draco shrugged, ignoring her.
"Rimuru, open your mouth."
Although puzzled, Rimuru knew Draco wouldn't harm him, so he didn't resist and obediently opened his small mouth.
"Ah~~"
"Gulp!"
As Draco fed that Magic Core into Rimuru's stomach, a frantic aura instantly exploded out.
"Ugh!"
Rimuru's eyes widened.
He felt a terrifying power emerge from his abdomen.
"Report. 「Predation」 of individual name: Charybdis's Magic Core... Successful."
"Beginning 「Analysis and Appraisal」 of Magic Core... Obtained the following abilities."
"Report. Conditions met. Obtained skills 「Magic Interference」, 「Gravity Manipulation」, 「Monster Summoning」..."
"EX Skill 「Magic Interference」 beginning to Unify with 「Molecular Manipulation」... Successful. Obtained 「Magic Manipulation」..."
"..."
A series of notifications rang out in Rimuru's mind.
Although Draco couldn't hear them, he knew very well in his heart that Rimuru's strength had skyrocketed.
It had to be said that as the chosen child of this world, Rimuru's speed of becoming stronger was too fast.
With just the move 「Magic Manipulation」, Rimuru could counter most of Draco's skills.
Magic is a phenomenon that occurs after manipulating Magical Essence; therefore, as long as one intervenes with an amount of Magical Essence exceeding the magic's activation amount, the effect can be neutralized.
And 「Magic Manipulation」 was a powerful skill for interfering with the opponent's magic.
Coupled with the 「Great Sage」's skill effect 「Chant Annulment」, Rimuru could bypass magic chanting and activate this skill directly.
When dealing with magic later, Rimuru would only need his Magical Essence amount to exceed the opponent's to be invincible.
With the support of the Storm Dragon, who possessed the world's largest amount of Magical Essence, this guy was simply the nemesis of magic.
"Is it tasty?" Draco asked with a smile.
"Uh... a bit salty..."
Rimuru swallowed with difficulty.
"Your 「Great Sage」 should have analyzed the skill effects of 「Magic Interference」 by now. Tell me, how many ways are there to break it?"
Draco already had a countermeasure in mind; he just needed Teacher Xia to confirm it.
During this period, Draco had found Shuna, wanting to use her unique skill 「Analyst」 to analyze the flaws of 「Magic Interference」.
During that time, some indescribable things also happened.
Well... it was the good work of Shalltear, Shuna's life mentor. I know you guys don't like hearing about that, so I'll talk about it later.
After a month of research, the two of them reached a conclusion.
To put it plainly, the effect of 「Magic Interference」 is to use one's own Magical Essence to disrupt the opponent's magic effect. There are several ways to break this skill.
One is to compete with the opponent's Magical Essence amount; this is the simplest way.
Another is to use 「Magic Interference」 against 「Magic Interference」; when the two cancel each other out, the skill effect naturally breaks.
But for Draco, there was an even simpler way, which was to directly use an Ultimate Skill.
Skills in this world are divided into many types, and those standing at the very top are undoubtedly the Ultimate Abilities.
As the saying goes, an Ultimate Skill can only be countered by an Ultimate Skill. Those who have obtained an Ultimate Skill know the laws of the world.
Therefore, through the power derived from the laws of the world, they become superior existences, possessing absolute crushing nature over those below them.
Besides that, there is an even more complex thing that can ignore 「Magic Interference」, and that is 「Spirit Particles」.
The strongest Holy Magic, 「Spirit Particle Collapse」, is one of the very few lower-tier skills that has reached the ultimate domain and is a freakish skill capable of countering Ultimate Abilities.
And what is needed to constitute this magic are the special particles that make up Magical Essence, 「Spirit Particles」.
Predicting the movement of 「Spirit Particles」 is extremely difficult; it seems 「Spirit Particles」 can ignore the flow of time and space, passing through any barrier at will.
In short, it's very complex; everyone can understand it as the quanta in quantum mechanics.
The effect of 「Magic Interference」 is ineffective against the natural transfer law of these random-phase 「Spirit Particles」 that govern such irregular motion.
Applause if you understood!
Having figured all this out, the Magic Core in Draco's hand lost its use.
To test the results, he gave it directly to Rimuru.
Moreover, without these skills from the Storm Great Tempest, how would Rimuru be able to summon Diablo in the future?
After all, having accidentally snatched two of the future Twelve Guardian Lords, if even Diablo was gone, Rimuru would be busy to death in the future.
Afterward, under the analysis of the 「Great Sage」, Rimuru repeated the principles to Draco.
The results were no different from his research results.
While the two were communicating, Souei (female) behind Rimuru saw Souei (male), whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
A hint of joy immediately surfaced on her face.
"L-Lord Souei, i-it's been a long time..."
Souei remained as cool as ever, only nodding slightly as a greeting.
This made Souei (female) feel slightly awkward, not knowing what to say next.
Seeing this, her close friend Benimaru, who was nearby, had a playful expression. "Oh~~ I couldn't tell, a guy like you actually has girls who like you."
Souei frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Shut up, it's none of your business."
By now, Souei (female)'s cheeks had turned a faint crimson. "Lord Benimaru, don't misunderstand. Lord Souei and I are just... ordinary friends."
"Oh... is that so?"
Looking at Benimaru's ambiguous tone, Souei (female) lowered her head and bit her lower lip, not daring to continue speaking.
