Ren placed the woman down and placed a hand over her heart. But as soon as she did that she dodged a blade heading her way.

"Tell us who you are first." Benimaru ordered standing over zyla so they couldn't get near her. The two got in defensive stances ready to fight if they have to.

Albis placed her hand on benimaru's shoulder looking at him. "It's okay, these are the saber twins. They work for lady zyla." She informed him as the two nodded dropping there stances.

"My apologies, we should have introduced our selves first. This is my sister Ren and I am Siren. We are Paige's defense captains." siren nodded before she looked at the slime.

Ren nodded as she went back to the woman on the floor. "We teleported here as soon as we felt lady Zyla's presence get weak." She answered as a fairy flew over. "Lord ramaris." She bowed her sister following.

"Ren."

"She's fine, just weakened slightly." Ren responded to the fairy. "You know-"

"Yea." Ramaris cut her off. "Someonea found her stone."

"Weakened? Stone? What's going on!" Rimuru yelled out jumping in shuna's arms.

Siren looked at the slime. "Someone stole lady Zyla's black sapphire, it contains half of her power she stored away. If someone manages to destroy it, they could kill nations and her."

"Well what about them? Why did they stop breathing?" Phobio held Teca's head.

"They are connected to zyla, but they will wake up soon. It just drained their energy." Siren answered him. "But they won't be as drained as lady zyla will be."

"What do we do about her sapphire? Do you know who stole it." Albis asked sitting down, everyone in the room gathered around.

Ramiris sat on Beretta's hand, "it has to be  Wes, he was a high ranked knight of the Holy knights."

"That bastard." Siren clenched her fist remembering what he did. "Even after everything he's done, lady Zyla still decided to spare his life because she pitied how weak he is."

"He should be grateful he managed to leave alive." Ren muttered, the room fell silent as they felt the sudden tense from the twins.

"How do we find him?"

Ren looked up as her ears twitched, "we don't know, we destroyed his main base. But, he always comes to us."

"It will be easy for him to find us, since the crystal will guide him to her body." Ramaris explained, they continued to talk about the plans.

"Someone's coming." Ren informed everyone. This caused everyone to stiffen, at her words.

Souei appeared in the room, bowing to Rimuru. " lord Rimuru, we have a few unknown monsters heading this way, an estimate of 10. They seem to be extremely powerful, should I take them out?"

"10? He must've found strong fighters." Siren muttered.

Rimuru looked over at souei, "don't attack, let them continue here." He ordered.

"Very well, they will arrive tomorrow morning, considering they are traveling by horses." He said before he disappeared. Everyone agreed to rest and get ready for the morning, zyla and the others showed no signs of waking like they did last time this happened.

Ren and siren slept in the room with them, to guard and make sure they were still alive. By the next morning still no sign, they began to worry why it's taking them long to wake up.

"They're almost here." Benimaru muttered, Sensing them getting closer.

Rimuru sighed looking down at the female demon lord. "Let's go to the entrance, try not to cause to much damage to the town." He said as they began to walk out.

While everyone was walking they suddenly noticed that the others presence suddenly disappeared. They stopped midway looking around, it was quiet.

The sound of someone running caused them to be on guard. But what they didn't expect was someone to fly past them, causing extreme winds. The stands outside flew up landing on the ground breaking.

Rimuru looked up seeing someone fall from the sky, when he tried to move he felt a strong gush of wind. Teca clashed with someone else who was also in the air.

"Teca." Phobio smiled seeing as she was alright. Suddenly a magic circle appeared under everyone transporting them away from the town.

"Well, I thought I'd never see your face again." A voice spoke. Teca landed next to phobio, Vera and reiki also there. "You know. For someone that used to be considered the smartest knight. You really stupid."

"Demon lord, of space and time. Zyla Resel." Wes spoke coming from behind his men. He had a smirk on his face as he watched zyla floating in the air. "I'm here to remove you from this world. Or maybe I can keep you, you are a pretty girl after all."

Reiki clenched his fist at the comment. He began to step forward but was stopped by zyla who finally landed on the ground. "Rimuru, I thank you for trying to help, but this is our fight."

"Huh? But your outnumbered?"  Rimuru looked at them.

Zyla looked at the slime with a serious expression. "Im sure they will be fine. So please do not intervene at all."

"Throwing your men into the pit? That's not like you zyla." Wes laughed. "You tried so hard to protect them last time."

"I've learned from my mistakes, They can handle themselves. I'm assuming you won't fight neither.." Zyla stepped back. She snapped her fingers instantly Rimuru's enforcements were in the air above the others on a giant floating pillow with her joining them.

Wes also jumped back to allow his men to fight. "Why, have them fight? I can take you on and get this over with quickly." Wes grinned.

Zyla didn't look at him, "I want to show you, the difference between us. As to why, I will always win." She smirked looking at him through her lashes.

Wes scowled. "Show no mercy! Kill them." He yelled at his soldiers.

"Are you sure you can handle them alone?" Vera looked at Teca. Teca nodded dodging an attack.

Teca looked for the two she was fighting finding them as they were about to sneak up on siren. "Your fight is with me." She said as vines wrapped around their legs.

"You're still beautiful, I see teca." Chase smiled at her, as the vines around him began to decay.

"How's Acer doing?" Macel smirked breaking free from the vines.

Teca ran towards him, "don't mention his name Bastard!" She seen them both run at her as well causing her to jump and tuck her wings from getting cut.

A bright light shined in her hand as she kicked macel away flipping away from Chase. "I'll make you both regret what you did." Teca ran to stab chase but a barrier stopped her.
