Stunned by the immense power of the Disintegration spell, Rimuru notes that he might not have survived even if there weren’t a barrier limiting his magic.
He and Ranga subsequently teleport nearby Tempest and come across the Shadow Squad. Rimuru learns from Souei that Falmuth Kingdom is responsible for the barrier around Tempest.
