Chương 217: Young man, have you reached the point where you doubt whether you're the protagonis

Chapter 217 Young man, have you reached the point where you doubt whether you're the protagonist?

With Milim present, Tia and Fordman dared not even think of making a move.

If it were just Yang Cheng and Rimuru, they might not be a match for them, but if they wanted to escape, no one could stop them.

But the "Destruction Tyrant" is different; he is someone that even Lord Kazalim in his prime could not defeat.

If they dare to show off their presence in front of the other side, they could very well be killed on the spot!

"That's quite surprising. Isn't Yang Cheng a country bumpkin born in the Jura Forest? How does he know such a big shot as the 'Destruction Tyrant'?"

"Yes, even we can't talk to such important people."

It seems I need to hurry back and report to Kleiman. With the "Destruction Tyrant" protecting them, it looks like he won't be able to turn Yang Cheng and the slime into tools anytime soon.

As always, Fordman and Tia disappeared after talking to themselves for a while.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after defeating the Storm Demon, the monsters in the Jura Forest erupted in cheers.

Looking at the mountains stretching for kilometers and the split peaks on the ground, Rimuru's eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at Yang Cheng.

He originally thought that after devouring the Pig-Headed Emperor and obtaining the Demon King Seed, the gap between him and Yang Cheng had narrowed, or even that he had surpassed him.

But now it seems that the gap has widened far from narrowing; it's clearly gotten even bigger!

Great Sage, how big is the gap between me and Yang Cheng now? You said before that his magic power is 2. 4 times that of mine.

But after I devoured the Pig-Headed Emperor and obtained the Demon King Seed, my own magic power level clearly increased significantly, right?

Both being from the same hometown who were reincarnated as monsters, Rimuru, though past the age of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), no longer had much of a belief in becoming stronger.

But in order to live a good life in this other world, he didn't want to lose too much to his juniors. (Rimuru thought that Yosuke was younger than him in his previous life (∇).) [Solution: Since the last test, the individual Yang Cheng's magic essence has increased to a certain extent.] However, the magic element ratio between the individual names Rimuru and Yangcheng is currently only about 1: 1. 5.

The difference of 1: 1. 5 means that Yang Cheng is only about half a step stronger than me, right?

But why, with only a difference of half my size, was he able to instantly kill the Storm Demon Calamity that had left me helpless? Great Sage, you didn't miscalculate, did you?

Faced with Rimuru's question, the Great Sage remained silent for a moment before giving a fairly clear answer.

[Solution: The calculated difference is only the difference in the amount of magic power. The difference in magic power is not the same as the difference in strength.] In actual combat, it is affected by many factors, such as one's own skills, combat techniques, combat experience, etc., and the amount of magic power is only one of them.

The individual named Yang Cheng was able to easily defeat the Storm Demon Catastrophe, mainly because he was skilled in physical abilities, while the host was more inclined towards magic.

Yang Cheng was able to easily defeat the Storm Demon Catastrophe not because he was particularly strong.

The main reason is that this thing is easy for Yang Cheng to solve.

Despite possessing power at the level of a demon king, the Storm Demon Catastrophe has little intelligence and only possesses the resentment and other emotions of the possessed being.

Moreover, although this thing is very tanky, it has almost no mobility and is just a sitting duck.

Therefore, for Yang Cheng, killing the Storm Demon was much simpler than killing Tia and the others.

After all, if you remove "magic interference" and "super speed regeneration", the Storm Demon Calamity is just a puppet with the magic power of a demon king, and it's nothing special.

[So, taking into account factors like magic power, skills, and abilities, how much difference is there between my combat skills and Yang Cheng's?] [Start parsing, start calculation —] Solution: Due to insufficient data on individual Yang Cheng, the specific gap cannot be calculated.

However, based on the data currently available to individual user Yang Cheng, if individual user Rimuru were to fight him, Rimuru's chances of winning would be only about 30%.

Upon hearing the answer given by the "Great Sage," Rimuru swallowed hard, secretly relieved that he and Yosei were friends.

Before Yang Cheng reveals all his abilities and skills, his chances of winning are only 30%.

If he gets really serious, or even uses his trump card, then my chances of winning will be down to only 10%. Even after being reincarnated into this world, Rimuru always felt like he was living the protagonist's life.

First, they encountered the Storm Dragon Veldora, then Jing, and then the Pig-Headed Emperor.

In a short period of time, Rimuru felt that his strength was improving by leaps and bounds every moment, a classic overpowered protagonist story.

But unexpectedly, this arrogant person like himself encountered Yang Cheng, who was even more outrageous than himself.

This caused Rimuru, who had been somewhat arrogant, to instantly calm down.

As expected, other worlds are quite dangerous.

The reason why I, a reincarnated being, have such an amazing storyline of rapidly increasing strength is definitely not because I am the protagonist, but because this is a standard feature of reincarnated individuals.

If Yang Cheng and I were able to have such extraordinary encounters and experience a surge in strength, then the other "transmigrators" who were summoned must have experienced the same thing.

After the battle against the great demon scourge, Yang Cheng introduced the dragon loli Milim to everyone present.

Benimaru and the others, who knew Milim's name, were all taken aback when they saw that Yangcheng had hooked up with the "Destruction Tyrant" after the Sky Queen Frey.

As someone completely clueless about the other world, Rimuru naturally didn't know Milim at first, and even mistook Yuuma for a lolicon.

But when the "Great Sage" kept issuing danger warnings to Rimuru and clearly stated that Milim's magic power was estimated to be at least 20 times that of him, Rimuru was completely dumbfounded!

Since Milim was the first Demon Lord Rimuru encountered in this other world, he directly used Milim as a standard to emulate other Demon Lord characters, believing that this was the level a Demon Lord should be at.

Because of Milim as a reference point, Rimuru is now even more convinced that he is not the protagonist and that he is actually quite weak.

Come to think of it, the Demon King in novels and anime is the supreme being who reigns over all monsters, how could he be compared to ordinary cats and dogs?

Previously, Rimuru had always believed that he and Yojiro, who had already obtained the Demon Lord Seed, should not be much weaker than the so-called Demon Lords.

But now it seems he was too naive.

If Demon Lord Milim is this strong, then Clayman, who is also one of the "Ten Great Demon Lords", should not be too weak either, right?

If Demon Lord Clayman's magic power were 20 times that of the demon king, then the Jura Great Forest would be completely unable to withstand it.

If you can't rely on yourself, then you can only seek help from outside. Yang Cheng probably knew this would happen, which is why he cultivated good relations with Demon Lord Frey and Milim.
