Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
The Devil King's Banquet (Walpurgis)

The people participating in the Banquet were the current nine Demon Lords.

And the most outstanding figure at the banquet was the one who had just surpassed the Demon King realm.

The participants are listed below:

Devil Race .. “Emperor of Darkness (Ruler of Darkness)” Guy Crimson.

Race Peri (Peri).. “Maze” Ramiris.

Race Dragonoid .. “Tyrant of Destruction (Destroyer)” Milim Nava.

Giant Race .. “Murka Earth (Earthquake)” Dagruel.

Vampires ... “Wicked Night Queen (The Queen of Nightmares)” Ruminas Valentine.

Fallen Angel Race... Dino ”Sleep Ruler”.

Winged Race (Harpy). Frey ”Queen Sky”.

Corpse Race Life .. “Marionette Master” Clayman.

Former Man... ”Blond Demon” Leon Cromwell.

The order of seating around the round table was decided based on the order in which they became Demon Lords.

There was one empty seat, and a temporary seat was prepared at the very bottom.

Guided by the servants, each Demon King would take his own seat.

In that silent hall, in the middle of the room separated from the outside world were three people. They were already sitting in their own seats and were waiting for the arrival of another Demon King. The three are Guy, Leon, and Ruminas.

Then, several noisy people stormed the room through the silence.

「Yahoo ~, You guys healthy?」

A fairy flew quickly to her seat while saying those words. It was Ramiris.

“During did not meet!”

A giant greeted everyone and sat down in his chair. It's Dagruel.

「Yo, As always, you all seem a bit gloomy.」

Calling and teasing the beautiful girl with silver hair beside her chair. It was Dino.

Naturally, there was no response. Just an unpleasant look.

The one who followed after the three Demon Lords was a newcomer. The main actor Banquet has arrived.

The first three people who were already in their seats, focused their gaze on the arrival of Rimuru.

One person seemed interested.

One person seemed uninterested.

One man looked with hatred in his eyes.

However, the person he stared at did not greet anyone so he was guided to a temporary chair and sat on it.

With this, there were three Demon Lords left that had yet to arrive.

The atmosphere was extremely oppressive as the Demon Lords waited for all the members present. Their maid is waiting in the back.

For some reason, the three people standing behind Dino and Dagruel, looked like they had been badly beaten, but there was no mention of anything about it.

They seemed to want to say something but were ignored altogether.

Just before the appointed time for the banquet began, three Demon Lords entered simultaneously.

The host of this Banquet was Clayman and, including the two Demon Lords that entered with him, all the members were present.

At that moment, in front of the Demon Lords who were waiting for the opening statement of The Walpurgis Banquet, a shocking incident occurred.

Clayman raised his fist .. and attacked Milim!

「Quick path, stupid!」

Using such harsh words against Milim was a death sentence.

Seeing this, everyone was fascinated.

To a person named “The Tyrant Milim”…

It's against all common sense. Unfortunately, that stupid man, he was done.

And again……

Even after committing acts of violence against Milim, Clayman showed no remorse.

Milim did not resist, and without complaint he simply sat in his chair.

This situation could be considered very strange; the other Demon Lords did not believe what had just happened.

So, despite the bad omens that would occur, The Walpurgis Banquet began.

?????????????????????????

While Dino was sitting in her chair, she thought about the monsters she had encountered before.

A rather interesting monster. Also, Dino felt a strength comparable to hers emanating from him.

He was not like the weak C commoner; he had the True Demon King Ambition.

Very enticing.

Holding the Unique Skill of 『Sloth』, he was almost done with the destructive Dagruel.

He was truly a person who could not be controlled; one that possessed extraordinary strength, so Dino avoided a serious fight against him.

As the name suggests, the skill contains the word ‘Sloth’, the power of the skill is intended to damage nature….

Once his son is to succeed his throne, the moral decay will be complete.

His sons had sufficient qualifications to become Demon Lords. Once they have enough experience, they become one.

Then, Dagruel would retire, and that would be what Dino had planned beforehand.

The power of 『Sloth』's Unique Skills is to cause depraved people to become his subordinates and at the same time eliminate their abilities.

With a powerful yet obedient pawn, he hoped to obtain great magic power.

Well, for Dino, this is just a game to dispel his boredom, but.

And again.

From Veldora's words, he realized the possibility of a higher purpose.

The aspiration to improve oneself had already begun to appear, but the opponent was someone who was unreachable by his own strength.

That thought really made him sad ……

But even so, he felt it was funny.

And then, even if Dino himself is unaware of that funny feeling, he has caused a small effect on 『Sloth』.

But it's just a small influence.

To reach perfection, it takes a very long time and a very large amount of energy, but that small influence starts to cause transformation.

Unbeknownst to the Owner (Master Skill) of Dino, the skill was secretly stored deep in his heart.

After a short duration passed, Clayman walked in.

He was not someone who attracted Dino's interest, but at that moment Dino witnessed a shocking sight.

Clayman's scene assaults Milim.

Dino's eyes became wide open when he saw the appearance of the incredible scene.

Milim, who was clearly in a higher position than Dino, was struck by the weak Clayman.

As the one who summoned the oldest Demon King, he was considered to have an abnormal skill level and a seemingly limitless magic power.

The only person who could be considered equal to him was Guy.

Incredible abnormality of existence: Milim .. was beaten and abused by a weak Clayman!

Dino experiences emotions that she thinks are no longer in her; forcing her way out of the deepest recesses in her heart.

These emotions are. Or maybe even frustration.

Thus, those emotions became the food for the further evolution of the 『Sloth』 skill.

And that evolution, shortly thereafter, accelerated and stimulated the evolution of his mind. (ED: ⁇ kokoro, read as: mind, soul, heart, strength)

From this, a certain power was acquired by Dino.

?????????????????????????

When I was being guided to the meeting place, there were some who tried to fight with Me because of the weak appearance of Me as a child.

「Do you know that this place is only for the strong? A little fry like you better go home! 」

They shoot continuously after rounds of threats; this reminds me of an old-style thug.

To dye their blonde hair with face piercings here and there.

They even come as a collection of cliche trio villains.

These bastards were here for people who looked weak and tried to gang up on them to show off their strength.

Even with their appearance, they were not weak.

Their energy quantity was extremely abundant, perhaps even surpassing Benimaru or Shion.

But, uh,

Shion asked me with her eyes, I only answered her with a light nod.

The next moment, the three people became extremely miserable.

They were severely beaten; there was a body that was completely black and blue.

Without taking out his beloved odachi, named Hercules ‘Edge, Shion, with her ridiculous powers, attacked the three.

Even if the opponent had the same amount of energy, it ended in a one-sided hard blow.

「I'm sorry, is that enough?」

Even though he apologized to me, this far surpassed ‘quite’.

But, it's good that they let us vent our stress.

Could this bastard be Dagruel's son?

They come and approach us when they see us, maybe it's for our ‘warn’.

I don't know the reason behind it, but after we passed through the gate, there were many roads and we got lost.

And then, we got involved with these three bastards.

Since we passed through the Gate of Transfer to the Underworld, this unpleasant incident happened.

「Learn from this experience, Never judge a book by its cover!」

After teaching them some lessons, we left them.

About the trio, although I stuck in the moment to lecture them about things, but I'm glad it was us.

If it were any other Demon King, a very miserable thing might happen to them.

Even if they could deal with an opponent with the same level of magic power, they could not judge and verify an enemy that possessed extraordinary strength and acted first.

Shion also possesses an incredible power that easily goes unnoticed.

Although the trio was defeated like a child, but they could actually all be considered to have power around the pseudo Demon King Class.

That, Err ……

Calm.

But, really, that Shion !? That fool, there was no way he could become a pseudo Demon King.

I convinced myself with that, and kept going.

In the back, I thought I heard something like 『Sensei, don't let me call you Shisho!』, I'll pretend never to hear it.

A colossal door appeared in front of us.

Outside it is a meeting place.

When I enter, I am guided to My seat.

I sat down, and began to observe the surroundings, Dino and Dagruel were already sitting on their respective chairs.

I saw the now beaten trio standing behind them. As expected, they were Dagruel's sons.

Everyone ignored him.

As expected, this was not an ordinary thing, after all this was a place where 100 High ranked Demons could easily be killed. It seems that there is no one who has any problem with this turn of events.

In this situation, I can only observe the other Demon Lords.

The furthest one was the man with charming red hair. If she was a woman, she would be beautiful.

At first glance I understand, this guy is dangerous.

When I tried to analyze it, I only obtained trivial information.

He had the same wavelength of the Irregular Energy quantity; just like Diablo.

In other words, his Energy level was high, but the data showed that he was a novice who was unable to fully control his demonic aura.

My eyes cannot be lied to.

Or perhaps, he might have deceived the power of Lord Raphael『's 』Wisdom analysis, this information was most likely false.

To make the opponent see the wrong information and misjudge the actual strength. This allows one to achieve victory before the fight by making the opponent underestimate them.

In my terms, it's to hide power. In other words, it was to make it difficult for the opponent to gawkur your true strength by suppressing your demonic aura.

But this guy's idea was to exploit the opponent's information analysis skills.

A person who is made to fear this kind of information is not worthy of being considered an opponent.

Of course, someone who cannot see this as false information is unlikely to be questioned. But the problem was, even ignoring what he saw and just by reducing his Level, it was at Diablo level of strength.

The true level of strength is unpredictable.

This person was clearly someone extraordinary.

Undoubtedly, I instinctively felt that this person was a Demon King named “Guy”.

And, to his left is Ramiris.

He was sitting in the seat of honor, was it because he was a senior?

He looked happy as he swung his legs forward and back. Like a child. Maybe it's better to leave him alone.

Next to him was an empty chair.

Next to him was Dagruel.

This big man (Ossan) had an unusually high quantity of energy. It's three times the size of Diablo

But the most important thing is quality, not quantity.

It's about how we can use energy in the most efficient way possible. Even if we have the same class, the expertise we show in using our respective abilities can be a determining factor.

Just a moment ago, if I had not been told to control My anger, I might not have been able to distinguish between allies and enemies.

No, although it can be controlled easily, I'm still worried.

There are many mysterious monsters. Even though the road is smooth, it doesn't mean I don't have to be afraid of rocks.

So, I can't relax the vigilance

Across from Me, besides Ramiris' neighbor, a beautiful girl with silver hair sat down.

Her skin gave off a transparent impression, while her heterochromatic eyes glistened with a deep red and light sky blue tint.

In every aspect she is a perfect beauty.

Behind him was a man who looked like a butler, he did not make any movements like a statue.

He was indeed an expert butler; with good etiquette.

He probably had the same idea as me, when he suppressed his Demon Aura, his level of ability was unreadable.

Like this, I was surprised that he was her subordinate.

As for the beautiful girl, she leaked out a large amount of Demon Aura.

But, the girl's demonic aura changed randomly in quality and quantity thus making the reading useless.

So this is the Demon King Class?

The sharp look he sent towards me was terrifying. Perhaps, his gaze passed over me and clung onto Veldora behind me.

This girl is definitely a vampire. A Demon King whose Kingdom was turned to ashes.

He is an opponent who definitely does not want you to be angry at!

The talk about the situation 『My head Sick』 is about this girl?

Some people say that dying from the wrath of a beautiful girl is a blessing. But, as expected, I cannot see any blessing in it.

I just pray that such conditions do not happen to me because of someone else's fault.

And the one who tried to speak kindly with the girl was Dino.

As expected. Really KY people. (ED: KuukiYomenai, lit: Someone who can't read the mood/mood)

This man is not afraid.

But, he had enough strength to support his attitude.

He was emitting a huge amount of energy, but he was most likely suppressing most of that energy.

This one too, using Jamming, he hid his true abilities.

If I try to analyze it seriously, he will definitely notice it. A smart guy.

And, the one who bothered me the most, the one sitting next to me in the bottom seat, Leon.

At first glance, she's beautiful. With features that the gods can give.

If I were the old Me, I'd say, Explode! Or so I thought.

Although he was once a human, his aura was impressive.

He was completely wrapped in the dignity of the Demon King.

In fact, his true strength could not be analyzed.

That's catchy. The analysis of the Lord of Wisdom Raphael could be said to have a weak point.

That is, if it is also about ability with equal strength.

This guy, it's not wrong anymore. He also had an Ultimate Skill.

And then, at that moment, I noticed.

Guy deliberately gave false information. Was it a countermeasure against a Supreme Skill?

In that case, it was highly likely that Guy was also the owner of the Supreme Skill.

Even for Demon Lords, they did not necessarily possess Supreme Skills.

To have someone is a mixture of nature, luck, and the coincidence of that person.

But, the strength level of a Major Skill varied from one skill to another.

Therefore, from now on I must tread carefully.

Then, about me who was the owner of the Supreme Skill, it was already exposed by Guy.

Although I do not have concise information about my opponent, the opponent already has information about Me.

A big mistake.

It's already happened, so there's nothing to do. There is no point worrying about what capabilities are leaking.

In the future, it's very important to replicate a counter plan like this, so I have to thank you for this experience.

If I'm still alive after this.

Now, I have understood about the use of the Ultimate Skill.

Leon doesn't seem interested in me.

However, I want to say something to you.

「Leon, Shizu-san has died.

He entrusts Me to deliver a blow, free of charge, only to you; so let me hit you. 」

I called Leon and gave him a straight ball. (ED: Japanese idiom, get to the point)

In response to my words, Leon opened his eyes.

And,

“I refuse.

…… But, if it is an invitation to fight, it is okay for you to come and hit me.

However, I will determine the time. If you think it's a trap, it's okay if you don't come. 」

While saying those words coldly, he closed his eyes once again.

And with that, he doesn't seem to be interested in me anymore.

His skill of avoiding points was quite extraordinary.

“I saw. I'll accept it, please send an invitation. 」

So I answered and stopped my voice.

Even though he looked annoyed, I saw a small nod from Leon.

I think it's okay. With this, I can convey what Shizu-san wants.

Although I may have to postpone this matter for a later date, the most important issue is the current Clayman.

While waiting for a while, Clayman and the last two Demon Lords came at last.

Then, I witnessed an unexpected sight.

Clayman hits Milim (???). That, Milim…

Inside me, my anger almost exploded.

(You...., don't ever think you can die peacefully ...).

I proclaimed “Death” from Clayman.

Whatever the reason, I won't forgive him.

However, I don't have to rush.

Because the banquet has not yet begun.
