Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 81: At the Banquet

Clayman felt himself winning.

The old generation that looked down on him now looked extremely shocked.

From just hitting one arrogant boy.

So when this stubborn grandfather would fall prostrate before him, then he could finally create a world for monsters.

So Clayman thought in his heart.

But ... is this okay?

This question comes to my mind.

The venerable said not to stand out, but here he was in the limelight.

With this thought, Clayman quickly refused.

Its alright. Recommending conquest is a matter of persuasive power, after all.

Moreover, by showing Milim as his follower of course he would prevent them from opposing him.

What demon king would oppose the strongest demon king Milim?

But is that what really happened?

Did he go far? Why is he worried?

Really, there's no need to hit Milim.

Moreover, the thought of the Walpurgis Banquet and the possibility of failing to gain the support of the demon lord made him really uneasy …

No, wait isn't there something strange?

Why do alarm bells ring in Clayman's head?

If the current plan fails, the following will be threatened. And that's not good.

He should get the advice of that respectable person …

But he is currently forbidden from contacting that person.

Moreover, he still had a trump card named Milim.

And, thanks for his unique expertise 『Dalang』 he is currently fully under his control.

In front of his overwhelming strength even Karion was knocked out without offering a hint of resistance.

And after calming his fear, a smile appeared on his face.

「Now, let me thank you all from the bottom of my heart for collecting for my call.

Let's start my banquet.

So I declare that the Walpurgis Supper has begun! 」

As per his right as the one who gathered him, Clayman declared the start of the banquet.

And so, for the first time in hundreds of years, began a banquet attended by every demon lord.

＊ ＊ ＊

Guy watched Clayman with a grin on his face.

He almost started laughing at this man's joke, and was really proud of himself for holding it back.

Clayman totally misunderstood.

Instead, he did not understand.

Although they were called the ten great demon kings, it was a name that humans selfishly decided upon for them and none of them Guy acknowledged.

Are there ten or hundreds of small things for him?

But, the Holy Demon Lord War 500 years ago left less than ten of them.

And then, the new demon lord suddenly decided to fight for dominance and decided to keep his number at ten.

Humans must be very happy to hear that the number of dangerous creatures will decrease.

So this rule is more of an unspoken covenant, if any.

Guy was the first demon king.

He granted the will of his helpless summoner and destroyed the enemy country.

As payment, he destroyed the summoner state.

And with this, although it was unnecessary, he saw his resurrection as a true demon king.

The two Arch Demons he summoned to destroy the first country evolved into Demon Officials after destroying the last one.

And he allowed them to continue to serve him.

There was another being who woke up as a demon king at the same time as Guy.

Millim.

One of the four "dragon", the first among them, created a child with a human.

Interestingly enough, most of the power of the "dragon" was taken by this boy.

Thus, “naga” states that making children taboo.

"The "dragon" who lost its power took flesh, and became the founder of the dragon family.

From then on, the mass of natural holy spirits came to be called the Dragon Race.

Today, many dragons inhabiting the world can trace their origins to this founder

The "Dragon Race", Star King Dragon Veldanava.

The dragon was reincarnated as his daughter's favorite dragon and killed by a country.

Thus, these fools knew the meaning of imperial fury.

In his anger, Milim destroyed the country.

And awaken as a true demon king.

Unknowingly, he was fighting with Guy.

The battle continued for seven days and seven nights, turning the fertile lands of the west into deserts.

Finally, the battle is over.

Milim regained consciousness and the battle ended.

The one who restored his sanity was none other than Ramiris.

In the process, the spirit lord Ramiris absorbed the demonic devil magic and powerful dragon aura and began to change.

But, he can stop Milim's rampage.

And they resolved this dispute.

The three were the first demon kings.

They decided that each of the three would be different from the other.

One will pursue the highest power.

One will live as he pleases.

Someone will judge the world.

And it's fine.

Because their goals are different, they can recognize each other.

Then, the protector of Heaven's Gates the Giant, the ancient Vampire, and the beings that fell from heaven alone increased the number to six.

They are second generation.

The Demon King was inferior to the oldest.

The giant, due to the holy power embedded in his body, rejected the Demon King Seed.

But, he had unbelievable strength and was a funny man.

As many wars of demon lords began to wipe out the giants and fairies, he woke up as a true demon lord.

Even so, he had yet to obtain the Ultimate – Skill that Guy and Milim had.

But, he did see an opportunity for such a resurrection for Vampires and Fallen Angels.

It's a matter of time. And Guy patiently waited.

And, Clayman.

The fool thought he could control Milim.

It can't be funny.

There's no way an insect like Clayman could do something Guy never managed to do.

Those with the highest skills were not affected by the lower abilities.

Each rule of the world was ultimately reduced to this unique level.

In other words, they will not be affected by any form of supreme – magic or not.

And since the ultimate skill does not require a spell, just hope something can come to fruition.

A certain series of affinity attacks can have an effect.

However, Spiritual Attacks were completely meaningless.

A soul that was weak enough to be affected by such an attack would never be able to obtain the highest skill.

So, to fight the ultimate skill you need another ultimate skill.

Therefore, Clayman could do nothing to Milim.

So now, he was dancing on his palm.

It's so stupid .

With a grin, Guy waited for a conclusion.

How wonderful this feast was, he thought.

＊ ＊ ＊

Clayman proudly began his explanation.

So, according to the human informant, I have killed Demon Lord Karion.

Although to me, it was more than: who the hell is Karion ?!

I knew that he looked like Grucius' father, but I had never met him.

Oh and Clayman's explanation drags on forever.

Although I did not need to sleep, I felt sleepy. Could this be a spiritual attack?

In one word .. obnoxious.

Can't he cut me a little bit here.

「Umm .. can I ask a question?」

When I asked, she saw the upset and,

"What?"

He asked .

「Well, just .. does the demon lord like this kind of useless conversation?

I mean ... aren't we more to ... Rules of Strength and Talk to Our Fists about that sort of thing? 」

I said, provoking.

On this line, a silver-haired girl started laughing.

He had been looking at me furiously until now, so would I be able to cut back a little?

Oh, and when she laughs, she looks so cute.

「Clayman, as he says.

Your speech is exhausting. State your points 」

The girl told Clayman.

Upon hearing these words, Clayman became red in anger.

Is he that simple? Or that much small fry?

Although if this was an act, then he was truly impressive

「Ku ... don't underestimate me, you lowly!」

「Eh? Is there something wrong with me being slime?

You know, I came here not to listen to your bad speech.

Oh, and what do you want to achieve by hitting Milim?

I put up with it at the beginning of the conference, but isn't it about time?

Just say what you want to say; those will be your last words. 」

His face flinched at my words.

Rather than getting angry, I saw an ominous black aura hovering around him.

As expected of the demon lord. It's creepy. Little .

And at that moment, the puppet-like Milim, for a split second, looked like he wanted my head to pump me.

Well, I might just imagine it.

Seriously, how sad. I'll set you free soon, Milim.

I swear it in my heart.

「Ku, everyone. Did you hear that?

The lowest of all these creatures obtained the Demon God Seed by chance and after becoming a demon king, look how haughty he was.

Moreover, they even started a war with humans!

I can't believe we can let this thing be what it is. I suggest that we clean it up, what do you think about it? 」

He waved his hand flamboyantly, trying to gauge the response of the demon lord.

But

「Hey, is controlling spirits during the Walpurgis Banquet allowed?」

I said, kicking the table into the air.

The large round table flew and fell far behind him.

Make a gap in the middle.

「No. In this place, overtaking your opponent with words alone is considered only 」

A red-haired demon lord – who looked the most dangerous of all – responded.

Amused, he laughed lightly.

I glanced at Shion, who immediately launched a barrage of attacks at Clayman.

Filling his fists with aura, he landed about thirty hits in a split second.

And with a really fresh face,

「Is this okay?」

He asked .

…

Seriously, kid, shouldn't you ask that question before you hit someone?

Anyway, I just glanced at you for a second!

Right, I really want you to silence Clayman …

But I don't think you'll hit him the next moment.

Well, what's been done is done.

I bet he tried to set things up for his own convenience, but the plan failed.

So when we silenced Clayman a moment ago, it was a legitimate case of self-defense.

So if there is a demon lord who is angry at me and decides to fight me, then there is nothing that can be done about that.

「You-you... !!!」

The ominous black aura released by Clayman quickly recovered his injuries.

This ability far surpassed that displayed by the Orc Lord.

Well, that's what should be expected of the demon lord.

「Cannot be forgiven ..『 Marionette Master 』!」

Clayman yelled out five dolls from inside his robe.

Each doll turns into a demon and attacks Shion.

Each of them is a high-ranking demon.

Chances are, that ability allowed him to create a puppet from a demon whose soul he stole from.

The Wisdom King Raphael was able to analyze the skill with just a glance, and thus described.

But, frankly ... How about that? That's what I wanted to tell him.

As expected, with his immense strength and his beloved sword, he cut through those demons.

「Hahaha, aren't you a little skilled! But, it's no use.

Marionette dolls can immediately regenerate and continue to attack! 」

Clayman called out, while starting the spell.

Shion simply shrugged in response.

And, the puppet did not move at all.

「T-impossible ... why are they not reborn?」

Clayman cut the spell in panic.

I really wanted to tell her that instead of saying pointless things, she should have continued her spell.

「Yeeaaah. It hurts, so I'll tell you.

Odachi Shion is a soul eater.

The puppets, of course, were not protected from an attack on their souls.

So because they were made so badly, they fell from a single punch

I explained it as if it was the most natural thing in the world.

I mean, since he became my grub in the end, I'll teach him whatever he wants to know.

There is no reason to hide this much either.

「The sword that hits the soul is also !?」

「Not infrequently, right? Humans have it too? 」

「R-ridiculous! It's a treasure sword, isn't it! 」

「Hmph-deep. I wouldn't know. Because we managed 」

Odachi Shion, I better use Hinata's sword as a reference.

Although I did remove that stupid seven-hit feature. It eats the soul of an attack.

As a result, although it was not a specific murder weapon, it did do physical and spiritual damage.

So you have to be on your guard because otherwise you will devour it.

And if you don't protect yourself from physical attacks, you'll end up falling apart.

「Huh. So this is "Hercules' Revised Edge" huh! 」

Do you not know yourself …

Didn't I explain it on my way here? Ah, whatever .. Anyway Shion.

At that moment Clayman stood up.

He desperately finished his spell and started his spell.

「I will add that brash sword lady to my collection.

Devour her, demon Marionette !!! 」

That ominous light strikes not me, but Shion.

And look at this,

「Kukukuku. Have fun, it's the ultimate spell that can even control the demon lord!

It's a shame to have someone like you as a demon, but whatever it is.

Surely you are sick of serving lowly slime?

After all, for someone who had a lot of trouble killing a lowly Orc Lord, dying with the hands of their subordinates was the fitting end!

After you dispose of your master, I will make you my pawn 」

He stated.

By no means . For a moment I did want to say 『Oh no! I'm destined! Get to make him a little riled up, but this is too annoying.

This guy .. is too weak.

He's someone that Hinata will take out in a moment.

No, rather than being weak, maybe I'm just used to seeing Benimaru, Souei, and the other department members being too strong.

Just by magic energy, he was weaker than Shion.

In addition ... Shion has the skill of it Perfect Memory Memory 』 which keeps his memory even after death.

In other words, he could live as a soul only.

So the Archive's ability of Soul Control was completely ineffective. Moreover, the damage of spiritual attacks was also largely negligible.

In other words,

「Yo, what kind of attack is this? I don't feel any pain or anything.

How long do you plan to keep me waiting? 」

I could hear Shion's slightly irritated voice coming from the darkness.

Raphael had analyzed the effect and predicted that Shion would not be affected; it seemed that he was right.

So, even though he introduced this as a great secret technique, this was all in number.

「I-this is impossible !!!

The skill that even placed Milim – demon lord Milim under my control couldn't possibly have no effect on a person like you !!! 」

Shion blew away that aura.

Seeing this, Clayman fell into a panic. The match has been decided.

「Everyone, can you allow this one to continue his anger ?!

They looked down on all the demon lords. We must punish them at once!

In fact, let's remember the fate of poor Karion! 」

His eyes were red, he sought the support of the other demon lords.

The moment I entered battle mode, a barrier was erected isolating the room.

Well, I've been expecting a lot when kicking the table.

But he's a troublesome man.

When he realizes that he cannot win, he runs to get help from others.

Dagrule and Dino opened their mouths as if they wanted to say something.

They might try to defend me. Fortunately I spoke to them before.

But at that moment,

「Hey, hey. Who said I kicked a bucket?

And that was the first time I met a monster named Rimuru? 」

A low and elegant voice sounded.

From one of the winged female subordinates that came with Clayman.

He's wearing a cool mask, so I can't see his face …

But at that moment the mask fell down and a violent aura gushed out.

Haa !!!

And changed his clothes, before we appeared the Demon Lord Karion Beast.

Like "My Anti-Devil Mask", he held back his aura.

If I had noticed I could have realized this before, but since I had never met Karion before, I had no way of knowing it.

Um, so ... What does this mean?

「T-impossible! Why are you alive !!!

…

If that… . You have betrayed me! Frey !!! 」

His eyes were red, he shot the winged woman.

By the looks of it, instead of betraying him …

「Ara? Since when have I been your ally? 」

He nonchalantly replied.

That woman is scary.

「J-don't fuck with me! You wretched !!!

Bodo time . I got it . No forgiveness for all of you 」

Clayman quickly regained his composure.

Does he have any tricks up his sleeve?

With a grin on his face, Clayman loudly declared

「Milim, kill everyone here !!!」

The air stiffened in the room, and everyone's expressions froze.

Most, like me, are in the middle of preparing themselves quietly.

And we all looked at Milim.

His ace.

I'm sure Milim is controlled.

And I guess he …

Well, this is bad of course. Clayman is the most abundant insect, but Milim is dangerous.

Even now, my chances are not so good. Even so, I want to save him.

No, I'll save him!

I will release …

When I think so,

「Why should I do such a thing? Rimuru is your friend now? 」

Milim answered without a care.

Ummm, eh? Whaties???

I'm not the only one confused.

The demon lord also had a face that said: "Eh? But he had just received a blow from her just a moment ago! ”

What does this mean?

Without caring about our confusion,

「Hei, Frey! Did you take care of that for me? 」

「Yes, yes, this, right?

But seriously ... trying to pump people, grinning like idiots …

You can't act at all. Well, I guess I should praise you for allowing the attack. 」

「It's reasonable. Rimuru became angry for the sake of me making me really happy.

And if we weaken Clayman's resolve a little bit, the truth will come out on its own! 」

While talking, Frey took something from her bag and handed it to Milim.

The dragon knuckles I gave him.

Gladly picking up the knuckles, he immediately put them on. And a big smile appeared on his face.

「I want to be a little angry, but this is fine. I hope you've prayed, Clayman! 」

He said, glancing at her.

So, in other words ... did they do this script?

The other demon lords had now started pursuing the event.

As I thought .

I think .

That's how it is.

I thought I heard a voice say in me.

But, uh,

「T-Wait a minute, Milim. Y-you're not controlled by him?

So you tortured me for a prank?

And you blew that sacred mountain of your own free will? 」

Demon Lord Karion asked, with a pulse appearing on his head.

「Hmm? Don't worry about the small details!

Come on, Clayman's been cornered. Let's get him to spill the beans! 」

「Tiny details! If you handle that badly we'll all die!

But anything . Not like you listened to it ~ 」

For some reason, I feel sorry.

Seeing Karion crying made me want to caress her.

Everyone was silent, probably deep in thought.

Well, Grucius is happy, so I'm glad he's alive.

Anyways…

Milim plays a puppet to thwart Clayman's plans.

Why would he do that? I thought for a moment, but decided that Clayman came first.

We can solve that problem after we deal with it.

The show is turning to conclusions.

Only the finishing touches are left now.
