Finally, war breaks out between the Crusaders and Rimuru within Tempest territory. Rimuru faces off against Hinata, who has put everything she inherited from her mentor, Shizu, on the line. What awaits the two in their deadly battle?[1]
Summary[]
As Luminous embraces a Holy Ark, Louis and Gunther inform her of Hinata and the Seven Luminaries' actions. Luminous leaves with them to handle the situation. Meanwhile, back in Tempest, Shion faces off against Leonard and Garde, the leaders of the army, who place a Holy Field around her. However, Shion reveals that she is a Wicked Oni and proves to be too strong for them, although she is ordered to not kill them. Though Leonard admits defeat, Garde refuses to, until Shion destroys the Holy Field. Leonard begins to grow suspicious of the situation upon noticing Garde's change of behavior. While Hinata explains that she did not intend to bring an army, she also didn't know of Reyhiem's death, while Rimuru does not recall challenging Hinata and believes that she is responsible for the attack. While their subordinates split up to fight each other, Rimuru and Hinata fight each other one on one. Seeing that Rimuru is stronger than before and her Usurper skill has no effect on them, Hinata decides to go all out and fight and discards the sword that the Luminaries gave her for her Legend-grade sword Moonlight. During the fight, Hinata sees a vision of Shizu over Rimuru and recalls her past with her former mentor. The fight ends in a draw, and Rimuru suspects that their message to Hinata has been tampered with. Rimuru's subordinates emerge victorious over Hinata's. As the fight comes to an end, Hinata suggests a final attack to Rimuru; if they defend against the attack, they win and if they avoid it she wins. As Hinata attacks Rimuru with her overblade Melt Slash, Rimuru is forced to sacrifice their Ultimate skill, Beelzebuth, to defend against Hinata's attack. After surviving Hinata's final attack, the two begin to bond, but realize that the Dragon Buster sword is a rigged trap as it suddenly unleashes a deadly attack that strikes Hinata after she pushes Rimuru out of the way.
