Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
At the Banquet

Clayman felt himself winning.

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

From just hitting one arrogant brat.

So when this stubborn grandfather would 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 mind.

The venerable mentioned not to stand out, but this was where he became the center of attention.

With this thought, Clayman quickly brushed aside.

Its alright. Recommending conquest is a matter of persuasive power.

Moreover, by showing Milim as his follower he would definitely deter them from opposing him.

What demon king would oppose the strongest demon king Milim?

But is that the problem?

Did he go far? Why is he feeling anxious?

Really, there's no need to hit Milim.

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

No, wait. Isn't something wrong?

Why did the alarm bell ring in Clayman's head?

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

He should get some advice from that honorable man…

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 the slightest bit 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 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 announced the start of the banquet.

So, for the first time in hundreds of years, a banquet began that was attended by every demon lord.

＊ ＊ ＊

Guy watched Clayman with a grin on his face.

He almost laughed 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 had selfishly decided for them and no one recognized Guy.

There were ten or a hundred small things to him.

But, the Great Holy Demon 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 maintain the number to ten.

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

So this rule is more of an unspoken agreement, 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 summoning country.

And with this, even though it was unnecessary, he realized 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 “naga”, the first among them, created a child with a human.

Interestingly enough, most of the power of “naga” was taken by this child.

Therefore, “naga” declares a taboo to make children.

“Naga” who lost his power to flesh, and became the founder of the dragon family.

From then on, the gathering of nature's holy spirits was called the Dragon Race.

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

The “Dragon Race”, Star Dragon King Veldanava.

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

Thus, these fools knew the meaning of imperial wrath.

In his anger, Milim destroyed the country.

And awaken as a true demon king.

Unaware, he's fighting 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 evil 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 two.

One will pursue the highest power.

Someone will live as they please.

Someone will judge the world.

And that's good.

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

Then, the Giant's Heaven Gate protector, the ancient Vampire, and the fallen beings from heaven themselves increased their 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 incredible strength and was a funny man.

Due to the many wars, the demon lord started to eliminate the giants and the fairies, he woke up as a true demon king.

Even so, he had yet to obtain the Ultimate Skill - which Guy and Milim possessed.

But, he did see such an opportunity of awakening for Vampires and Fallen Angels.

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

And, Clayman.

That FooI thought he could control Milim.

It's impossible that's funny.

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

Those with the ultimate skill were not affected by the lower ability.

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

In other words, they will not be affected by any form of magic the highest — or not.

And since supreme skills do not require spells, just hope something can pay off.

A series of attacks with a certain affinity could have an impact.

Spiritual Attacks, however, were completely meaningless.

A soul weak enough to be affected by such an attack would never be able to acquire the ultimate 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.

So stupid.

So with a grin, Guy waited for his conclusion.

How fun this dinner was, he thought.

＊ ＊ ＊

Clayman proudly began his explanation.

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

Although to me, this is more than: who is Karion ?!

I know that he looks like Grucius' father, but I've never met him.

Oh and Clayman's explanation drags on forever.

Even though I don't need to sleep, I feel sleepy. Could this be a spiritual attack?

In short. sucks.

Can't he give me some leeway here.

「Umm .. can I ask a question?」

When I asked, she saw an upset and,

“What?”

She asked.

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

I mean ... wouldn't we prefer ... Rules of Strength and Talk to Our Boxing Type? 」

I said provoke.

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

He had been looking at me with anger until now, so would I be able to reduce it a little?

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

「Clayman, as he says.

Your speech is exhausting. State your points 」

The girl told Clayman.

Upon hearing these words, Clayman blushed in anger.

Is he that simple? Or that much little fry?

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

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

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

You know, I didn't come here 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 this about time?

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

His face twitched hearing my words.

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

As expected of the demon lord. That's intimidating. A tad.

And at that moment, Milim who was like a puppet, for a split second, looked like he wanted to punch me.

Well, I might just imagine it.

Really, really sad. I'll set you free soon, Milim.

I swear it in my heart.

「Ku, everyone. You hear that?

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

Moreover, they even started a war with humans!

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

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

But.

「Hey, is controlling one's spirit as long as Walpurgis Banquet is allowed?」

I said, kicking the table into the air.

The large round table flew and fell far behind him.

Make an opening in the middle.

“Even. In this place, overtaking your opponent with words alone is considered only 」

Red-haired Mon lord – one of the most dangerous looking of all – responds.

Amused, he laughed lightly.

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

Filling his fist with aura, he landed about thirty blows in a split second.

And with a really fresh face,

「Is this okay?」

She asked.

…

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

Anyway, I just stared at you for a second!

Right, I really want you to silence Clayman …

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

Well, what's done.

I'm sure he tried to set things up for his own comfort, but that plan I failed.

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

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

「K-k-you .. bastard !!!」

The ominous black aura released by Clayman quickly regenerated his wound.

This ability far surpassed that displayed by the Orc Lord.

Well, that much was 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 make a doll from a demon whose soul he stole.

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

But, honestly..how about that? That's what I wanted to tell him.

As expected, with his overwhelming strength and his beloved sword, he slashed at the 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 his spell.

Shion just shrugged her shoulders in response.

And, the doll did not move at all.

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

Clayman cut his spell in panic.

I really wanted to tell her that rather than saying useless 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 one hit 」

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

I mean, because in the end he'll be my grub, 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 !?」

「This is not uncommon, is it? Humans have this too? 」

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

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

The Odachi Shion I upgraded used the Hinata sword as a reference.

Even though I removed the stupid seven punch feature. It ate the soul from a single attack.

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

So, you have to be careful because otherwise, you will be devoured.

And if you don't protect yourself from physical attacks, you'll end up in bloody chaos.

“Hahs. So this is “Hercules’ Edge Revision ”ya!」

Do you not know yourself…

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

At that moment Clayman stood up.

He desperately finished his spell and began his spell.

「I'll add that brash woman's sword to my collection.

Eat him up, Demon Marionette !!! 」

The unpleasant light strikes not me, but Shion.

And look at this,

「Kukukuku. Thankfully, it was the ultimate spell that could even control the demon lord!

It's a shame to have someone like you as a demon, but whatever it is.Of course you're sick of serving a lowly slime?

After all, for someone who experienced so much difficulty in killing a lowly Orc Lord, dying at the hands of their subordinates was the perfect end!

After You dump your master, I'll make You My pawn 」

He stated.

Meanless. For a moment I did want to say 『Oh no! I'm cursed! 』Makes it a little upset, but this is too annoying.

This guy is too weak.

He was someone Hinata would soon get rid of.

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

With magic energy alone, he was weaker than Shion.

In addition ... Shion has the skill 『Memori Sempurna』 which retains his memory even after death.

In other words, he could exist as a soul himself.

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

In other words,

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

How long are you planning on keeping 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, that was all.

「T-this is impossible !!!

The skill that even put Milim-the demon lord Milim under control I can't possibly have no effect on someone like you !!! 」

Shion blew his aura.

Seeing this, Clayman became panicked. The match has been decided.

「Everyone, will you allow this one to continue its rampage ?!

They underestimated all the demon lords. We must punish them immediately!

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 to isolate the room.

Well, I've been hoping for this much when I kicked the table.

But he's a troublesome man.

When he realized he could not win, he ran 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 this monster named Rimuru? 」

A low, elegant voice echoed.

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

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

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

Haa !!!

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

Like my “Anti-Iblis” Mask, she held back her aura.

Had I noticed, I could have realized this before, but since I've never met Karion before, I don't know.

Um, so... What does this mean?

「T-impossible! Why are you alive !!!

…

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

His eyes were red, he was accusing the winged woman.

From the looks of it, rather than betraying him …

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

He replied nonchalantly.

That woman is scary.

「J-j-don't mess with me! You are wretched !!!

Bodo time. I've earned. No forgiveness for all of you 」

Clayman quickly regained his composure.

Does he have any tricks?

With a grin on his face, Clayman loudly declared

「Milim, kill everyone here !!!」

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

Most, like me, are preparing quietly.

And we all saw Milim.

Trump card.

I'm sure Milim is being controlled.

And I think he …

This is obviously bad. Clayman is the most common 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'll release …

When I think so,

「Why should Sharusd 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 lords also had faces 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 up, grinning like idiots …

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

「It's reasonable. Rimuru being angry for my sake makes me very happy.

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

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

The dragon knuckles I gave him.

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

「I want to be a little more angry, but this is fine. I Hope You've said your prayers, Clayman! 」

He said, glancing at her.

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

The other demon lords had now started pursuing the event.

Just like I thought.

I figured.

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 being controlled by him?

So you tortured me on a whim?

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

Demon Lord Karion asked, with blood vessels appearing on his head.

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

Come on, Clayman's been cornered. Let him reveal it! 」

「What little details! If you handle that badly, we'll all die!

But anything. Besides not like you listen to ~ 」

For some reason, I feel sorry.

Seeing Karion crying made me want to pet her.

Everyone was silent, probably deep in thought.

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

Anyways…

Milim plays the role of a puppet to foil Clayman's plans.

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

We can solve that problem after we face it.

This show is heading towards a conclusion.

Only the finishing touches are left now.
