Spoiler

he'll struggle in his 2nd fight against hinata, but thats it. He maybe had a tough time against chronoa but thats because he had to keep the others in check without killing chronoa. Rimuru isnt all for fights in the LN, he rarely does it. His subordinates fight a lot. But rimuru will have some skirmishes here and there with yuuki and he will keep powering up in the form of his subordinates getting stronger. The turning point of his opness was when he named wisdom king raphael and defeated velgrynd and veldora (mind controlled) at the same time and evolved to a draconic slime, basically an existence similar if not equal to a true dragon. So yeah if you ask if he will hit a brick wall, no, at least not yet i think. When he hits a wall in his progress, raphael sensei would take care of it.

Thanks for the chapter
So raphael made a colossal teleportation magic that unable to be detected in just short time, while magic in this world has exist for so long yet no one unable to invent this or even reach this idea? As much as it is wisdom king(?), isn't it too convenient?
And clayman...with all of your scheme, this is your come up with in the end? Playing victim and pointing fingers? Like seriously, did you really believe that there's someone foolish enough among them to believe such an amateur script? Without proof nonetheless?
Isn't the story went a bit too abrupt suddenly?

 

[enmaaisha]

Probably 4 weeks to see this animated. So excited.

@Ruhrpottpatriot ty for info but what is the point of

Spoiler

fakin it then? She doesn't do shit so Rimuru can show up?

 

[DSuper]

damn

@DodecahedricDoughnut
I dont think that way. For example, there are times when an author is writing both the WN and the LN at the same time, so I just think of them as two different versions of the same story.
Or you can think of the WN as the draft version that will later be polished.

Problem with what was introduced in this chapter about the holy magic and the gods is that those of us who have read the novel

Spoiler

know that there are no gods, at least not right now, so introducing a magic that depends on them is somewhat weird in my opinion.

There have been some changes here and there from the WN. Slight changes to make some arcs longer or to build better the world and some changes that might affect the plot later on, but nothing major for the overall story. But this one might be the first one that would change how the series universe works compared to the WN.

 

[osqmu]

love the way they're keeping us waiting another month to see clayman getting beat up

 

[Thesquidoftime]

Does anyone know the wn chp after this???

 

[TheLastTLK]

Damn, Shuna's a beast, honest all Rimuru's generals are OP beyond reason. i kinda want to see an epilogue once the series is over and see how the world views Rimuru, Tempest and the gang. will they be considered mythical beings only the most elite and fortunate get to see in person.

Will Tempest palace be some floating takeshi castle type thing, kids dream about exploring someday.

@dive123 Problem isnt that no one came with the idea of how to solve the problem with mass teleport. The thing is that even if someone in the past had that idea, its something that would have been discarded because of the absurd amount of magicules it needs.
And yes, Clayman's plan is that simple. Its not like this is a modern day trial with laws and whatnot so its not like he needs much proof. He is part of the organization which the other Demon Lords are also part, Rimuru isnt, so he believes his words are gonna be trusted more than Rimuru's. As easy as that. If the others buy it, they kill Rimuru, if not, he has to fight 1vs1 against him and Clayman thinks he is stronger than Rimuru. And in the worst case scenario, Clayman thinks he can use Milim to beat everyone else.
So from Clayman's point of view, his plan is fool proof. From the readers point of view, who have more information than him about whats going on, he is an idiot.

Omg it makes so much more sense why they made her a cleric in SinNoAlice XD

 

[Ruhrpottpatriot]

@Hejti IIRC

Spoiler

She hates Clayman

@Tearsax

Or you can think of the WN as the draft version that will later be polished.

Which is usually the case with WNs and LNs.

 

[dive123]

@Tearsax
Thanks for answering.
But still mass teleportation is already consume colossal amount of mana in the first place. I don't think it will be that much different in developed version such as one that used by rimuru
I see, so clayman is nothing more than second rate villian huh. Ah right,

Spoiler

it was that yuuki who scheme everything from beginning in the first place.

 

[Hejti]

@Ruhrpottpatriot ye thats for sure so

Spoiler

she is faking being a puppet to help Frey because she is being blackmailed by Clayman?

 

[Kay91]

Shit is gonna be on fire

 

[ZayB]

Skelly dude went through an entire existential crisis in like 10 pages lol. Feelsbad

 

[Kirche]

So that's where Adalman came from...

 

[zeever]

guys where do you read the LN?

 

[Cstone94]

Shuna can just make any spell she wants lol so broken

 

[Liquidxlax]

@Tearsax he is stupid for even trying to control someone much older and much stronger than him. Someone that could trivially kill you is not worth the risk
