Rimuru pov

[The exclusive skill 'Magic Sense lvl.4' has been activated.]

As I activated the skill, my senses widened like a vast ocean. I could hear, see, and feel the monsters and people everywhere in this station.

I tried to find Kim Dokja and the others, yet he was the only one I found. Right now he was being surrounded by monsters preparing to attack. I could hear him saying that he won't die, and that made me fired up.

Is there anyway i can get there quickly!?, I thought as I run as fast as I could. Can I use a skill that can be used on those monsters despite our distance?, like a long range activation?, Not teleportation.

{Yes. I haven't finished analyzing your previous skills, but I was able to re-acquire one that can match your description}

Thank you!, So what is it?!

{It's Flare Circle.}

Okay, thank you Great Sage!.

I quickly stretched out my hand and activated the skill.

[The exclusive skill 'Flare Circle lvl.2' has been activated.]

The ground below the monsters formed a magic circle and erupted with flames in a circular motion, it was a bit weak compared to the original strength of the skill, but it was enough to burn them to crisp.

I finally arrived at the location. I could see Kim Dokja sweating, while looking directly at the flames.

"You won't die.., because I won't let you"
Those word's came out from my mouth, it sounded like a declaration, but it actually was. That Yoo Junghyuk guy glanced at my way, with a surprised face. I smiled at him and waved my hand.

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is excitedly waiting for your 'comeback'.]

[The Constellation 'Lord Of Catastrophic Storms' is greatly proud of your camaraderie.]

[The Constellation 'Tyrant Of Destruction' is saying you can do better than that.]

[The constellations are screaming with excitement.]

[You have been sponsored 1500 coins.]

'isn't this a good time to show off?, I mean, I want that guy to regret his choice for turning me down and the constellations also sponsor me money for it, so I'll take advantage of this situation.'

I thought with an evil smile.

The flames that was circulating the monsters has vanished. I quickly sprinted behind Kim Dokja, and swung my sword at the monsters trying to attack him. But as I turned around to face him, he suddenly collapsed.

I catched him, then gently laying him on the ground. I hope you didn't die.

{He is not dead} the Great Sage remarked

I know that!.

Then I stood up and clenched my sword, not enough strength to break it. I was thinking of showing off, but, some constellations or even dokkaebi might be wary of me if I use too much strength, even though they already are. And using it infront of humans isn't a good idea.

[The constellations are carefully observing your next move.]

So I have to set up two barriers to avoid bigger casualties.

[The exclusive skill 'Multilayer Barrier lvl.3' had been activated.]

The first barrier was to protect Kim Dokja while he sleep. And the other one was to isolate me and the monsters, except for the others. I already planned this move, so you better watch it regressor.

[The exclusive skill 'Coercion lvl.5' has been activated.]

A demonic aura bursts out from my body, covering the whole area inside the barrier. My hair flipping and floating in the air as the stream of force were unleashed. The others from the outside couldn't tell what was happening in here. But it was a sight they shouldn't see.

The monsters were going insane, some laying on the ground squirming, while others were biting themselves, all of them trembled in fear, completely unable to take a step.

I walked forward and pierced the monsters head one by one, but at the same time, I felt bitter. I was a monster once, so killing them made me feel bad a little. But I wasn't crazy like them.

I just hope, that we won't experience the same thing.

Pov end

The massacre continued until the end of the third scenario. The others from the outside were very worried, not knowing what was happening inside, yet they feel reassured of the thought that rimuru was in there. Suddenly, the barrier disappeared, revealing a bunch of monster corpse lying on the bloody ground, while rimuru was standing with his sword, blood dripping on its tip.

[A number of constellations are astonished by the sight]

The others were astonished by the sight, not because the fragile looking guy was able to kill this many, but seeing him unscratched despite the monsters and time made their jaws and eyes wide open.

Yoo junghyuk kept his poker face intact, but his mouth was slightly open. He couldn't hide his surprise, he thought that the blue haired was only strong on stats, but seeing the flame and that wide barrier that blocked him from seeing the inside, completely changed his view about this person.

Rimuru walked towards Kim Dokja, who was still sleeping. He picked up and carried the man like a princess, then he walked towards the group.

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is screaming with joy.]

[You have been sponsored 200 coins.]

He then gave Kim Dokja to Lee Hyunsung.

Lee Gilyoung was finally free from Yoo Junghyuk's grasp, then he ran towards the group and all of them started going back at the station, except for rimuru.

"Aren't you coming?.." rimuru asked Yoo Junghyuk without turning around to face him.

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is excitingly waiting for the response.]

Yoo Junghyuk stared at Rimuru's back, that silver Blue hair that seemed to glow in the darkness caught his eyes. It wasn't a normal thing to see, but this world is not normal anymore. It was a surreal sight, but he cannot afford to fall for this things.

Yoo Junghyuk didn't answer rimuru, he was in deep thought. Rimuru smirked knowing that the man was zoning out.

'He must've been regretting his decision already'

Rimuru's smirk widened, however, his expectations were far from reality. Yoo Junghyuk wasn't in deep thought about regretting his decisions. He was in deep thought because of rimuru's feature's were mesmerizing.

Rimuru's face was being engraved in his mind, as if there's something burying it deep down inside so he won't forget. That golden eyes staring at him sends shivers down his spine, as if it was looking through his soul. That silver blue hair flipping in the air as the wind blows through it, and it glows as if it was the only source of light in midst of darkness. He was a Beauty, but also a beast.

Yoo Junghyuk snapped back from his thoughts, and looked around. Rimuru was gone, he left trying to hold his laughter so he won't break Yoo Junghyuk's daydream. Yoo Junghyuk himself didn't know about this, so he also left the rails and headed back to the station.

30 minutes have passed since the third scenario ended. The others were sitting on the floor, except for Kim Dokja, who was laying while using rimuru's lap as a pillow.

Suddenly, Kim Dokja jolted awake. Rimuru looked downwards, at his lap the man was awake.

"Are you okay?" Rimuru asked in a calm manner.

"What about the scenario?" Kim Dokja asked instead of answering. He was still not aware that he was using rimuru's lap as a pillow.

"You don't have to worry about that.." rimuru answered, then continued his words. "The thing you have to worry about is yourself."

"I'm fine" Kim Dokja remarked.

The others noticed him awake, so they quickly gathered around him. It took them a couple of seconds to ease their questions and worries. Kim Dokja was still laying his head on rimury's lap, so Jung Heewon made a joke.

"Kim Dokja, you must've been enjoying your pillow too much to the point you won't stand up, you're going to make rimuru uncomfortable you know."

Jung Heewon grinned. It took seconds for Kim Dokja to understand, and he quickly stood up and covered his face.

"Sorry about that!."

[A few constellations are laughing at the scene.]

"Haha, no it's okay, you don't have to apologize for it, it's good to hear someone enjoyed my lap as a pillow."

Rimuru laughed with the others. The mood was light, despite the area being bloody and filled with corpse.

[A few constellations are smiling at your group.]

Until a man clad in black came with a serious face. They all faced the man and noticed it was Yoo Junghyuk.

"You.., I want to talk for a minute.." Yoo Junghyuk stared at rimuru.

'Here it comes!'

Rimuru could only scream internally while keeping his face still to not look dumb.

[The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge Of Fire' is excited for your next conversation.]
