It didn't take long for Yuki to come out of the whole that Velgrynd blasted him into, and to his delight, he found out that she was teleported away by the quick-witted Diablo!

"This is great!" muttered Yuki with a grin while thinking 'Diablo probably stopped time to be able to react to Velgrynd's speed… He's truly a terrifying demon'

However, Yuki couldn't think for long as suddenly, a man approached him with a terrifying speed that even he couldn't react to and landed more than 10 slashes on him that left many scars on his body…

"You!" Yuki was enraged as he was continuously blinded by the fast attacks flashing in front of him… 'Is this Granbell? But how come he's far stronger than he used to be, and younger? At his current level, even Hinata will get directly one-shot by him!'

Granbell too was shocked by Yuki's resilience and his heart trembled slightly 'This guy is just a newly summoned otherworlder, if he's given enough time… Reaching hero level isn't impossible for him!'

Seeing their master in a predicament, Morgana and Dantalion both suddenly made a move as the former said "Darkness binding!" while the latter said "Devine judgment!"

Granbell only had an instant to react between the two spirits appearing behind Yuki and them unleashing their attacks at him.

Morgana's darkness binding took the shape of countless dark tentacles that tried to hold him in place but he swiftly dodged them while cutting some of them with his sword covered in holy aura.

However, Dantalion's attack was too swift and sneaky and it ended up stabbing him in his right chest right when he tried to dodge one of Morgana's tentacles! It was a perfectly calculated attack by the constantly arguing duo…

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yuki instantly used his frozen snare to hold Granbell in place for a split second before he used quick step to quickly appear behind him

"Die!" Said Yuki before he activated sword aura, dark strike, and desperation strike all at the same time and fatally injuring him…

'Is this really the end?' Thought Granbell before he remembered how Yuki killed his granddaughter and the sacrifices he had to endure and he felt the hero egg in him suddenly reacting 'I won't go down without a fight!' He thought and his king of hope Sariel was automatically triggered and focused all of his soul, magicules, and life into one final attack…

Time appeared to have stopped for him and Yuki, and the latter didn't even understand what was going on as the fatally injured Granbell suddenly turned to him with his sword covered in a holly aura that almost burned his soul…

'This one is going to hurt isn't it… fuck' was the final thought on Yuki's mind as the light landed on him and he felt his consciousness fading away…

Sometime later, a voice echoed in Yuki's head "Yu… Yuk..ma … Yuki-sama!" That voice slowly cleared up and he finally recognized that it was Dantalion yelling his name while using all kinds of recovery spells on his body…

'It seems like I survived, I should never underestimate the people of this fucking world ever again' Thought Yuki before he asked his spirit for details and Morgana simply stared coldly at a corpse of an old man nearby and said "You only survived thanks to your strong regenerative ability, although the same couldn't be said for the others that were hit…"

Yuki had a bad feeling when he heard this and he couldn't help but turn around and stare at the scene behind him and it left him frozen in shock…

All of tempest was split in two, including the hills that were still flowing with hot lava and there were many casualties to even calculate… This attack dealt more damage than any of Velgrynd's destruction…

"This… I was careless" Muttered Yuki with a frown and Rimuru's voice soon reached him asking if he was doing fine, and after some talking, Rimuru ended up saying "Don't worry, I collected all the souls of those that died, we can revive them later…"

"I see… I will leave that to you then" Replied Yuki feeling slightly relieved, and Dantalion soon came up with another good news "Yuki-sama, I was able to save this"

In his hands was floating an orb made of pure and holy light and Yuki instinctively felt a desire to absorb it which he directly did! Then, a magical scene happened, the dormant demon seed in his body was suddenly awakened and along with the hero egg, they both merged with his balanced magic core giving birth to a multicolored light that surrounded his body like a cocoon similar to the first time he awakened his magic core!*

Morgana and Dantalion watched with wide grins as this took place and not long after Yuki came out of the cocoon with a similarly big grin on his face as well since he received many notifications while he was there…

[Congratulations hosts on upgrading your balanced magic core]

[Effectiveness to all Light and dark spells has increased from 200% to 500%]

[Mana capacity equals 10 times magic value has increased to 25 times]

[+2000 Magic attribute]

[You have discovered a new function of the balanced magic core: Increased learning speed to dark and light spells by 100%]

'This was definitely worth it' thought Yuki with a wide grin on his face as he felt the strong and concentrated magic in his core… This was his own power, and it would follow him no matter where he goes! But this wasn't all as he also received another notification

[Congratulations host, you have received the ability Unyielding]

'hmm… What's this now?' thought Yuki in surprise before he checked the details of this ability

[Unyielding: This allows the user to set an ability or a skill to be cast instantly and completely removes its cooldown and casting time. (10 days cooldown)]

Yuki's eyes widened and his hand quivered slightly in excitement 'Don't tell me… was this the reason he could use melt slash consecutively… I really hit the jackpot, although it seems like I can't change the ability set until 10 days passes… However, this is still worth it!'

Yuki without wasting too much time directly set Quick step as the ability to be used with Unyielding! Now speed won't be his weakness anymore, although reaction time is still a problem compared to the monsters of this world…

….

Meanwhile, as Yuki was checking his prizes, the situation on the ballfield was shifting quickly and one of the most noticeable changes after Granbell's attack was the loss in the morale of both sides, and under Yuki's puppets' continuous pestering… Some people eventually started dropping down their weapons and they noticed that the mind-controlled people didn't attack them just as promised…

This is the shock that Granbell's attack had as it annihilated both their enemies and allies including one of the seven clerics that came with Granbell…

Meanwhile, Yuuki slowly found himself losing to Rimuru, but he wasn't even the worst case as Diablo already dealt with Vega and was helping Ramiris deal with Kagali next which shifted the tides of battle greatly…

However, good things weren't meant to last as a certain winged bitch suddenly came flying from a portal and she smashed into Diablo's back before he could react this time…

'Guy that bastard, he actually sent her back' Thought Diablo while staring at Velgrynd whose face was red like a tomato from anger and clearly was about to explode at any time

'Not good, neither Rimuru nor I can stop her, what's taking Milim so long?' Wondered Yuki with a distressed look before he shifted his gaze to the notification of the mission he accomplished not too long ago

[Quest: Dragon's wrath (Completed)]

[Accept reward Yes/No]

'Yes' Thought Yuki and the summoning ticket appeared in front of him and he directly stored it inside his space ring for now…

...

Meanwhile, somewhere else, Milim who was rushing at top speed to help her favorite town was suddenly interrupted by none other than the white ice dragon Velzard…

"Move out of my way, Velzard" Spoke Milim calmly but Velzard calmly smiled at her and said "I'm sorry but Guy wants to watch a good show, please don't ruin it for him"

Milim's pupils shrunk slightly and decided to not waste any more time and directly attack Velzard..

The same situation happened with Leon, although he was interrupted by Guy's two maids, which were two primordial demons in their own rights…

...…

Meanwhile, Yuki didn't have any time to think about distractions as he calculated all the possibilities for them to deal with this dragon 'Veldora could have easily dealt with that bitch if he took Raphael's training seriously and evolved his unique skill into an ultimate skill… Tch damn it what should I do, I'm not sure if my theory is right and if I summon him to here, I might screw everything up'

Unfortunately, Yuki didn't have the luxury of time to contemplate for too long as Velgrynd made a move again, but Veldora who was focusing on his recovery while she was away stopped her again, and it seemed like he was getting better and better at it, although it was still not enough…

"So be it, a gamble it's… that vision, I don't believe it would have lied" muttered Yuki before he took out the ticket and directly used it with one thought in mind… to summon his grandpa!

Summoning a character that was stronger than Velgrynd was of course a better choice than summoning his grandpa. However, why would a strong character help him out? Not to mention that he doesn't even know which timeline he was going to summon them from.

So, he opted to rely on the vision he saw whenever he used his dimensional link… The vision where he sees his grandpa and he almost seemed aware of what was happening, something no normal being could do!

After he ripped off the ticket, a huge vortex appeared in front of him that attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield including the bloodied Laplace and Kayle who were fighting to the death since the start of the war!

Velgrynd felt something ominous in that vortex, and so did anyone that was watching this fight such as Guy whose eyes lit up in intrigue… However, Velgrynd decided to trust in her instincts and unleashed one of her strongest attacks on the vortex

"Flame Cage" was the name of the attack and it consisted of multiple Burning Breaths released simultaneously. Multiple columns of flame bound the heaven and earth to trap the target and incinerate them from every possible direction!

Yuki instantly used his dark shield which was now very thick to defend in front of the vortex along with his own body in case his gamble was wrong, but a hand soon came out of the vortex and fell on his shoulder and a voice followed after it "Let me throw the trash away so we can talk at ease, Robin…"
