Great Forest of Jura,
Underground Labyrinth,
Monitoring Room,
Shizue POV,
Shizue all of a sudden turned a bit serious and looked at the screen showing Galahad who was scratching the sides of his head while looking down, "Oops." she muttered out slightly giggling, this just got a whole lot more funnier. Ramiris stopped in place, "Kek. This is.....that right?" she asked looking at Shizue slightly sweating. These were funny but they were too long. During these he even forgot his laziness!
Shizue nodded, "Definitely." she said confirming it, this was definitely one of those. Diablo looked at the two curiously, "Oya....what might that be?" he asked amused, he was curious about this man who allegedly may be stronger than Guy Crimson and by extension much stronger than him too,he may pose a threat to Rimuru! "Well this only happens when he sees or he thinks he sees something that apparently reaches 'realms of idiocy never seen before'." Shizue said slightly giggling, it only happened twice over the past 60 years, one when he saw someone buying rocks and the second when he saw someone buy water even when there was a river nearby.
There was usually a lot of swearing involved and would make most people question their life choices. Rimuru looked at her slightly confused but curious too, something that made even Galahad forget his laziness. If nothing else this should be amusing to watch.

Great Forest of Jura,
Vast Plains,
Galahad POV,
Galahad deadpanned at the soldiers who for some reason had even more vigor than before, he just told them to protect themselves, save their own lives but for that they were now laughing at him. It wasn't far-fetched for him to be angry about this but no that wasn't why he was upset.
The stories about him, the ones going around for millennia were surely heard by everyone. Even if they were disregarded as fairytales before they now held weight, apparently Guy had verified them and declared that they were true, he was grateful for it too. But now that they knew they stood against someone who beat back two Demon Lords and two True Dragons at the SAME goddamn time, why did they want to throw their lives away?!
These people were a disgrace to all Earthlings! The people were supposed to be reincarnators, transmigrators, world travelers and the likes, where was the intelligence that came with being one? Forget that, where was the common sense?! He raised his hands and scratched the sides of his head a bit furiously, "Ah fuck it!" he shouted frustrated.
Rudra who had opened his mouth to retort immediately went silent at the outburst, what was this? Velgrynd's eyes slightly widened in anger and she burst forward, she was here only to beat him and the sooner she did that the better! Though her punch was blocked by a gauntlet that appeared on his arm out of nowhere, "Payback time, bitch." he said slightly smirking and the bitchslapped the True Dragon, sending her crashing into the background at supersonic speeds.
The soldiers looked a bit shocked, they hadn't processed what just happened though the ones that did had their eyes wide in shock and a bit of fear. "Give it a moment." Galahad said slightly smiling, ah yeah that felt good. The bitch deserved it, she was the reason he got sealed, pulled out of his comfort zone, got bitchslapped by Velzard and most of all she tried to make him kneel, the previous him may have been only slightly agitated by that but the him now was genuinely angry that the woman tried to make him submit and by force no less.
Maybe he should make her submit?
Her sister too?
Oh no hitting women? Well aren't those stupid feminists always screaming about Gender Equality? What was a greater show of equality than beating the shit out of a woman who beat the shit out of you? As far as he was concerned there was none! Yeah! He slightly raised his head and before Yuuki could do anything pushed him away leaving the young man shocked, how could Galahad do this? Even he would betray him? Yuuki fell to his knees crestfallen, tears threatening to form in his eyes. Then Laplace was right? No it couldn't be! right? RIGHT?! There was no way Galahad would betray him.
"A bit later Yuuki." Galahad said smiling nostalgically as well as happily, he really was glad to see the kid was doing fine for himself and also sad for having betrayed him, he would have bowed down apologizing if not for his current situation. Yuuki looked up with hopeful eyes, this meant that there was chance. That's right, he would explain everything.
Velgrynd clenched her fists in rage, a bug had dared to disgrace her! She touched the bruise that formed on her cheek from the hit and gritted her teeth as flames formed around her body, this bastard was going to pay! She burst forward once more, this time at FTL speed aiming to punch the ever living shit out of him but contrary to her expectations her fist was grabbed and she was pulled forward before, "Ugh!" she was kneed in the stomach and flew up holding it in pain but Galahad wasn't done yet. Appearing right above her with his hands locked together he slammed it into her back as a very loud cracking sound rang out.
Galahad slightly smiled, he didn't like making people suffer but this was his revenge! "Dam- UGH!" she tried to curse at him but even before that he appeared next to her and punched her in the side of the face making the dragon feel as if a world crashed down on her, her eyes widened in shock at the prospect of him being potentially stronger than her. Though before she could go on another tour of the Empire via flying she was punched in the other side of her face as a resounding boom rang out.
"You deserve this." Galahad muttered out continually punching both sides of her face one after the other with cracking sounds ringing out each time he did leaving the dragon incapable of anything but regenerating, "You opponents get stronger too!" he said grabbing her head and smashing it into his knee, that one probably broke something but it felt good so it was fine.
He continued his beatdown completely unbarred and of course he held back, he didn't want to insta kill her, she would be back in only three hundred or something years so it wasn't that much of a punishment. Raising her head he threw her up before grabbing her head again, "This can't b- ARGH!" before she could say anything he slammed his fist into her back once more, shattering her back, rupturing her internal organs. The dragon coughed out blood but Galahad wasn't about to let her recover, grabbing onto one of her legs he slammed her into the ground with enough force to cause an Earthquake, "Y-You da-Argh." like that the beatdown continued and her attitude throughout it didn't really make him think about stopping.
Rudra POV,
Rudra looked at his partner and smirked before lightly chuckling, if this was the actual Rudra he would have offered up everything and apologized, even begged for him to let her go. He may have been greedy but he truly cared for her. What's the use of being rich if you can't share it with anyone?! However....this wasn't Rudra it was an empty shell controlled by Michael.
It only saw that this situation was disadvantageous, "Hmm.....Tatsuya." he said ordering the man who immediately understood his orders, if this Demon Lord can beat Velgrynd down then it was far more advantageous to dominate him rather than Veldora, that lizard can't win against Velgrynd so it was obvious why this was a better choice.
Damrada, a man who had sworn allegiance to the original Rudra and was one of the people who founded the Empire, glanced at the young man he called his Emperor with a strained look on his face, he didn't know why but he felt something was wrong here. The Emperor he knew would never let this happen to Velgrynd.
Calgurio looked at the ongoing fight-no a one sided beatdown that was currently going on and stumbled back shocked, "This is...is this a dream?" he muttered out in disbelief, Velgrynd was being essentially destroyed right in front of their eyes, a True Dragon! The stories were true! Minute nodded in agreement, "This certainly does feel like one." he said agreeing, he underestimated this man when they mentioned him but now, to be honest he was pretty terrified now! Though he kept his calm, he was a general and a part of the Royal Guard too.
They chose to ignore the fact that Yuuki practically deserted them because they couldn't exactly deny his course of action. At that time Gadra voiced out what most commanders were thinking, "I think Veldora wasn't the real threat to our invasion." he said, stroking his beard, slightly sweating. "This old man is scared to be honest." he said laughing heartily, that was a goddamn monster. Which idiot wanted to invade this place?! Oh right....the Emperor-SHIT!
Rudra looked at him before going back to looking at Velgrynd, if Tatsuya's method didn't work then he could directly open a wormhole here as a last resort, subsequently starting Armageddon and bring down the Phantom hordes as well, those things would improve the fighting power of his men after possessing them, the fact that they would die in the process didn't matter.
This world was going to end with this war, all else was meaningless. This conquest didn't really matter and besides there were at least 400,000 people crossing the sea at this moment, they would directly invade the Roman Empire and then they could wreak havoc on two fronts.
