Veldora, who had foreseen Shion's defeat and was about to step forward with clenched fists, took a sad and courageous step forward and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.

"What are you doing?" Luminas's look of disgust hurt Veldora.

Veldora coughed to cover his mistake and laughed loudly. "Quahaha! It seems that Shion is doing as well as I expected."

"..."

"Oh-hon." Coughing once again, Veldora looked at the others besides Shion. On the battlefield, local battles were still ongoing and local tensions were high. The entry of the top ranks of both sides into the battle had caused a disturbance in the chain of command. The effects of this were obvious.

The Titans had become agitated, making it difficult for them to mount an organized resistance. Individually strong, they were not good at coordinated military actions. Luminas's forces, on the other hand, were well-prepared. Each of them knew their role, and they had trained for every possible situation. Thanks to them, the battle line tilted in favor of Luminas.

Apart from that, there were swirling eddies of various sizes in various places. The warriors avoided the area due to the fierce fighting. At the center of the small whirlpools were Glassord and Albert, engaged in a serene yet furious battle. A swordfight continued in their own private world, where stillness and movement intersected violently.

In a larger vortex, multiple figures clashed. Louis Valentine, the champion of blood-sucking demons, and Basara, the "Four-armed" leader of the Five Warrior Generals, were engaged in a fierce battle, one of the best in the preliminary stage. Joining them was Gunther Strauss, steward of Luminas. Impressed by the Lord's determination to defend the land to the death, Gunther stopped thinking about the future and took to the battlefield. It was not an order from Luminas, but exactly what Gunther wanted.

"I'll help you, Louie."

"Well, it's been a few hundred years since we fought together. I hope you haven't lost your strength, Gunther."

They talked lightly, and the rest was a natural pairing. Around them, the famous and powerful men were fighting in a group battle. The Seven Nobles under Louis and the Five Warrior Generals, the core of the Titan Army, clashed with each other. The Titans were strong enough to overcome their numerical disadvantage. The battle went back and forth, with both sides saving their hidden gems. Even at this stage, predicting the outcome of the battle was difficult.

In the largest vortex, the most intense battle was taking place. Adalmann, who had become a young man through 'assimilation by possession' with Wenti, was challenging Fenn, the "three-star general," with all his might. Ultima cooperated with Adalmann. Ultima had taken Fenn by surprise as soon as the "Suspended World" was released. In terms of numbers alone, Fenn was so transcendent that even if the two fought together, the battle would be inconceivable. However, the synergistic effect of Ultima and Adalmann, with their accumulated experience and superior skill level, made it an evenly matched battle.

In all areas, the battle was competitive. Veldora saw this and decided he did not need to intervene.

"Hmm. They are all reliable, aren't they?" Veldora muttered.

Luminas interrupted. "What, you're still here?"

Veldora was startled by her cold words but smiled broadly. "Kwaaah-hahaha!" He tried to cover up with a smile, as if he were losing the game. But Veldora was not at peace with the situation. He was upset when he realized that the connection with Rimuru had been severed. However, Veldora still believed in Rimuru. Although the connection was broken, he still felt a faint presence.

(I am sure that something happened, but there is no need for me to panic. Yes, it would be more dangerous to abandon the work at this moment.)

Veldora sensed this and decided to watch over the situation, ready to intervene at any time. Luminas glared at Veldora and spat, "You're in my way. If you don't want to fight, just stay out of the way."

Veldora was frightened for a moment. (Ugh, Ugh...why must I be treated like a villain?) Since Luminas was scared, it was natural for him to get a little teary-eyed. However, it was his own fault because of what he said. Veldora did not realize this, so there was no reflection on his part.

"Luminas, don't be so cold! I am doing my best. I saved your lives just now!" Veldora boasted with a smug look.

He said this to appease Luminas, but her cold attitude did not change. On the contrary, he felt he had stepped on a land mine.

"Really? I was saved?" Luminas's cold gold and silver heterochromia eyes looked at Veldora.

"Uh-huh!" Veldora broke out in a cold sweat but seemed to regain his composure and puffed out his chest. It was a bluff, but it also had the opposite effect.
