Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Equality in Death

Clayman found the situation unexpected, his eyes turning red.

His gaze quickly switched between Millim and us.

And, when he turned his gaze to the other Demon Lords, He became frightened.

It seemed like he had realized, that he had claimed to have controlled Milim.

It was just Milim. Things have changed, actually Clayman is being manipulated.

Clayman became confused and slowly began to retreat.

「No sense .. Demon Marionette should have succeeded completely!

Why aren't you under the control of the Spell? This can't be happening! 」

He nodded in confusion.

Situations he cannot defend.

The secret has been revealed. He could no longer make excuses. There was only one way left for him.

The Demon King already knew Clayman was trying to manipulate Milim. Each Demon King would interpret this differently.

However, the verdict for the perpetrators of these heinous acts has been decided.

Although there was a non-aggression pact between the Demon Lords, it did not include triggering a fight.

In the end, Clayman had lost his trust.

His death is near. Very depressing.

But, the other Demon Lords didn't get the chance to give Clayman a one-way ticket, to the deepest recesses of oblivion.

「Yes, Acting is quite difficult!

You know, the magic you use is completely ineffective.

In order for magic to start working, I have to lower the many barriers that constantly surround my body.

Then I must forcibly lower my resistance to your magic.

Then I had to act perfectly to make you believe that I was under your spell.

You're being careful, so, I have to make you feel like you have complete control over me.

That's so! I'm trying my best to fool you, you know? 」

「A ... What …? That's acting? Me ... That was a deliberate act?

Demon Marionette should have dominated everyone, even the Demon Lord!

This is the Supreme Spell !!! 」

“Really? But, it's impossible to dominate me, you know.

You know, my expertise is to eliminate things like this! 」

Milim proudly proclaimed, while puffing his chest.

The other woman in the room could only glare at him and sigh.

「However, I started to worry when Clayman hit Milim earlier.

I'm not worried about the success of Milim's plan. However, I was worried that my house would become rubble.

Really, I'm glad you can hold it. 」(ED: literal definition of trash is Clayturd's face image when you search for it in the dictionary)

Harpy, Demon Lord Frey, spoke as he spread his wings.

Not only did he hit her this time, he had also hit Milim before? (Ed: totally garbage.)

What an amazing man. Does he have a desire to die?

「Ummm .. I am also an adult. Adults can endure these kinds of things. 」

Although there was an emphasis on her as an adult, she still gave off the aura of a child.

“Mana parts? All right, it's okay.

Anyway, why are you trying to fool Clayman? 」

「Mmmm ..? You know, I remember that Clayman made some very suspicious propositions.

Like his plan to attack Tempest City with an army of humans to make humans and monsters fight.

Since interesting things would disappear if it did, I decided to end the conspiracy! 」

“Betulkah? You ... just did it yourself …. 」

「Fuwahahaha! Like I said, I'm an adult! 」

「Yes, yes, you are an adult.

But, Clayman, you! Stupid jerk.

I don't think you have the qualifications to call yourself a Demon King.

Although I did not interfere, because Milim had to endure being your servant. 」

Frey said with a calm rage.

「So that's it .. I also have a lot to say, my city is also ruined.

So, Clayman, I'm gonna get you! 」

Demon Lord Karion announced it, while kindly handing Milim responsibility to Clayman.

Looks like Clayman provoked the anger of the other Demon Lords.

But the one who was the most angry was myself.

To Milim, who did my best for me and for the sake of others, I am very happy.

He was even hit by that lowly human …. (ED: garbage .. only garbage.)

It has been decided, your chance to die peacefully has been lost. Be prepared to atone for your sins and plead for your death.

「I'm sorry to you. But this guy is my opponent. Since I call myself the Demon King, I will prepare My own seat.

I will use this person as a ticket for all of you to acknowledge My recognition as the Demon King. 」

I exclaimed, as if Clayman was just a tool to reach my goal, so it couldn't help.

Well. I mean the truth is to check how strong I am.

Only Milim smiled happily.

Although I did not say it, My anger was transmitted to others.

Clayman, have you regained your composure upon hearing our conversation?

「Kukuku. Did ya? Like those? It makes me teary-eyed, to spy for your friend.

Wahahahahaha. It's really a joyous event.

Milim, the feared tyrant, is now an expert for others?

Why should I be afraid of this man? What joke.

Its alright. Although this is a bit early, allow me to use my trump card! 」

So he said, while taking out gems of various colors from his pocket.

I felt the spirit power of that gem. that energy level was equal to about 10,000 human souls….

?????

The flash!

As the light began to dim, the person standing there had turned into a very different being than before.

The hair of the creature was emitting spiritual energy; a dazzling trace of colorful light was left behind him. Her hair length also increased.

All the clothes on his upper body were torn in several places which showed an enormous amount of muscle underneath.

His eyes were dyed with rainbow colors as he gazed around the room.

The saint beast exuded a holy power at a level that could rival the Giant Demon King Dagruel.

Clayman forced the evolution of the artificial Demon King using the stone as a catalyst.

By absorbing the energy from the Spirit Gem; he forcefully awakened himself as the Demon King.

However, as the energy attribute used was different from his, he evolved into an unfinished condition, the Varian Demon King.

But, since he did not need to wait for the blessings of the harvest festival to happen, he would be able to use his full strength immediately.

(POV turned into Clayman)

The body that had just undergone evolution was still weak.

But My Unique Expertise 『Dalang』, shows signs of thriving after receiving energy; a truly devastating power.

Indeed, by gaining this power, I no longer feel inferior to being there.

No, I got it.

I'm not a True Demon King, after all, this is just a clone.

This is power!

This is resurrection!

And, this is the power of the Demon King!

In response to the energy ball I shot as a test, Demon Lord Karion was thrown backwards.

Frey is the same. To defend against that, it was impossible.

As I expected, Milim did not even budge. Really annoying brat.

But, it is still difficult to win against them even though I have been awake for a long time.

Demon Lords who survived through at least three Great Wars.

Other than that mischievous elf; Guy, Milim and Dagruel were extremely troublesome.

I can handle the newcomer Demon Lord but these three people are bad news.

As usual, I can always assess the situation calmly.

By blowing up 2 Demon Lords, I can quickly confirm the situation.

It's annoying because the mucus and his partner in the back are safe, but first, I have to back off to reset.

If necessary, I will destroy them one by one.

I need to report to ‘People Itu’ who gave me this gem, to consult about future action plans.

In this case, the plan has been decided.

By firing the Demon Lord Destruction Cannon (Demon Blaster) at maximum output, it was possible to use it to create a gap to escape.

The person I should be wary of is Guy, but that person shows no interest in the matter.

Yeah, correct. It was possible to escape. That's the decision I made.

While thinking about these things, I released the Demon Blaster.

It was a destructive power that could even eradicate a Demon King. The energy accumulated into rays of disturbance, which could cause the destruction of one's magic power array within the victim's body.

Physical defense would be useless, even a barrier using magic power would be destroyed against this ultimate magic attack.

If it is concentrated on the individual, someone who can withstand this does not exist.

This time, since I shot for a large area, there might be some survivors but no free time.

I laughed at the power of the Demon Lord Destruction Cannon (Demon Blaster) I shot which drastically strengthened more than I ever imagined by evolution.

Demon Blaster filled the surroundings with light, dyeing the surroundings with a rainbow… .. ?????

When the flash calmed down, Clayman was confused by the dumbfounded expression on his face, did he finally realize that the jewel in his hand had been stolen? (ED: alt tl: When the flash calmed down, Clayman was confused by the dumbfounded expression on his face, did he finally realize that the jewel I was holding in my hand was the one I stole from him?)

It seemed, I was right in believing the simulated scene displayed by Raphael's prediction in the future.

Using a mind transmission to display that scene directly into the mind, it could depict a very real scene.

I looked at the Jewel in my hand, and then quietly put it in my pocket. (ED。 It could also mean putting it on her chest or pouch, which I assume chest means she's absorbing it into her body)

I'm not stealing.

Since Clayman raised his hand when he called out the Jewel, I immediately ate his raised hand.

Surely, I got a good item. This may be very useful for later research.

If Clayman managed to use this Gem, then the result would be as shown by Raphael's predictions in the future.

In order to destroy it, another way to crush his spirit was to seal his trump card.

So there's no way I stole the jewel because I wanted to have it, but for another reason.

First of all, Clayman underestimated me.

The acceleration of the mind can increase perception by 1 million times, as if time has stopped, but at the same time it is still possible to bring out magic in the mind.

In other words, even if magic takes a long time to summon it, I can still set up several spells simultaneously.

Under these circumstances, it is foolish to let the enemy evolve.

However, if that happens it will probably become a mess …… ..

The Demon King has recovered from the lightning explosion I shot earlier.

Since I don't want to show My cards too often, I tricked them by using light. However, to me it seems like it has been seen by some people.

Can't help. His opponent is too strong. (ED: can be read as ‘level too high’)

As much as possible I do not wish to reveal My cards in battle, but I cannot prevent them from being predicted in the slightest.

If Wisdom Lord Raphael can do it, then I need to think that the opponent can do it too.

I couldn't find a clear solution to this; more or less it couldn't help, so I called Clayman.

「Oi, if you want to use your trump card, do it quickly. I'll wait for you.

Don't tell me, your plan is to escape using that lamp now? 」

I started to corner him.

I'm a bad guy. Alright, I'm not a human but Slime, you have a problem with that?

「What, What? What just happened.....?”.

Clayman couldn't hide his trembling.

His trump card was instantly stolen, so it seemed like he could not understand the current situation.

So, what are you gonna do next? You've been checked.

The future of the person with your level of ability who is hostile to Me has been decided.

For Me now, I must thrash this trash while deceiving the eyes of the other Demon Lords.

Time is limited, so get this over with quickly.

「Say Clayman, Do you know the fate that befell the king of the Falmas Kingdom that you pushed before?

His specialty is gathering information, right? Have you received his report from your subordinates? 」

Destroying spirit.

Only with that, will my victory condition be achieved.

To break his spirit, the best way was to be frightened.

Or rather, my mindset gradually turned into that of a villain, was it because I was a monster?

Is it because I switched to the Demon King? ……… Well, whichever is good.

Clayman turned his gaze towards me after hearing my words.

Apparently, he had not received any reports.

Edomalist King of the Falmas Kingdom.

That guy's still alive.

Before I came here, I had returned him to the throne of the Falmas Kingdom.

His mind is backed by my skills, so he won't go crazy.

I have prepared a large amount of trial restorative medicine so that he will not die when he is tortured.

I inflict maximum pain but not enough to make him angry. His torn arms and legs will grow again, and his cycle repeats itself.

The torn arms and legs would be used in Shion's cooking, and would then be fed to the king.

He was later released from custody after 7 days, this was done after Shion's resurrection.

He was only released after the hatred was killed was quite soothing.

Now, about the King's situation.

His spirit has been destroyed, so if he defies Me, I can kill him at any time.

But, if after all that he still dares to fight me, I will take my hat off to him. (ED: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/I\+take\+my\+hat\+off\+to)

After all, until Youmu's rules are established, I have no choice but for him to be nothing more than a obedient puppet king.

Then, if the manipulated king himself felt hell, wouldn't that mean that the person manipulating him would receive even more terrible suffering?

「Shion, I'll stop this guy. So, I'll lend it to you for a while after that. 」

「From a while ago what did you say!? What about the Human King?

Furthermore, sending your subordinates as my opponent? You coward, my opponent is .... 」.

「Bothering. Shut the worm! 」

On my order, Clayman's babble stops.

Although he tried to articulate, those words did not contradict Clayman's intentions.

That's just natural.

That's because, my new ability, Unique Skills 『Puppeteer』, it's impossible for Clayman to say a word.

Well, even if I don't know if I can use it or not, I still steal its ability.

As expected, Clayman noticed that his abilities had been stolen and panicked.

However, he could not make any sound.

This was to make him speak the mastermind behind this whole incident, but before that ……

「Shion, I'll let you hit him, but only for three seconds.」

He was like a starving dog that was told, ‘Wait!’ And then he defeated Clayman with all his strength for 3 seconds.

Probably, rain over 100 fists and storm Clayman.

The 3-second beating was completed and super Clayman recovery began to be performed to cure his condition.

However, is there anyone who can imagine the horror Clayman experienced?

What I gave Clayman wasn't something to talk about.

I prevented him from going crazy by strengthening his spirit while at the same time I accelerated his perception and senses by 1 million times using the mind acceleration skill.

My ability is not limited to Me, by bestowing it on others, it is possible that they will be affected by it.

Under the influence of Wisdom Lord Raphael, Clayman's perception of time had been stretched out for him, so he would be attacked by the fear and suffering of being hit for several 10 days. (TL: To imagine it, please think of it as a Rimuru version of the Mangekyou Sharingan)

Knowing Shion and this scum, my intention is to directly put 『Terror』 by wrapping it with a punch.

This, not only the body, but also caused damage to his soul.

By preventing Clayman's mind from going insane, pain, suffering and terror will accumulate, but without the means to escape.

So, with a feeling that had nowhere to go, fear would be etched into his soul.

When three seconds had passed, Clayman's hair turned pure white, his appearance like a corpse.

His body was the Undead of Life, if it wasn't about destroying his mind (spirit) then it would be useless.

His condition is no longer capable of incurring any defiance against me.

「Alright, Clayman. If you obediently speak, I'll kill you. If you don't talk, I'll let you play with Shion once again. 」

Does he understand my words?

「Speak, I'll talk! I'll say everything, Please forgive me. Please, please kill me !!! 」

His voice became stiff.

Did I break his mind?

「Then, I'll ask. What's the name of the mastermind pulling the strings? 」

Looking at me for a moment with her blunt eyes, she started to show doubts …

When I looked back with red eyes,

“Says! I'll say it, please wait! 」(ED: If one wonders, the previous one is ⁇ , while this line is ⁇ .)

He started raising his voice in panic.

And,

「My lord, that guy's name, Kazaream. “Sorcery King (Curse Lord)” Kazaream.

Although he was killed by Leon there, in order to revive his spiritual body, there was a need to gather strength.

Also, I can become a Demon King due to the greatness of that person .... 」.

Fumu's.

Who'sis that?

What about the reactions of the other Demon Lords? There's just a little.

Leon becoming the Demon King was a story from 200 years ago, It seems like he turned Clayman into a demon king, furthermore, he was also trying to increase the number of his comrades, right?

“Ah! I recall.

If you become my friend then I will turn you into a Demon King! And other important talks.

He was noisy, so I immediately killed him ...... why would I want a friend like that? 」

Leon muttered nonchalantly.

Leon ... The scary kid. The man who did not want to hear the words of others was here.

All right, everything's clear. Since time immemorial, increasing their own power and influence is a solid teaching.

「Then, what is the purpose? What are you planning to do by attacking Tempest? 」

「The goal is, to turn me into a Demon King. The spirit gem was a trump card, but after the effective time passed, its power would disappear.

So’It was just to help me turn into a Demon King. 」

I'm seeing.

By causing discord, a large number of ‘Death’ will spread. As a result, it would trigger his awakening, huh?

But, that bastard Kazaream, I still don't know much about his character.

If he wanted to revive his Spiritual Body, was it by using possession?

If he were in the domain of the Demon Lords, his whereabouts would soon be known. But no one noticed his presence, so it could be said that he was not hiding in the Demon King Domain.

Did he take on a human form? Or, perhaps, does he possess humans?

「You, since when do you serve under it?」

「It ……

I received the title of Demon King about 400 years ago, but before that I was Kazaream-sama's aide.

Even after becoming a Demon King, I still moved following the instructions of That Person.

After being defeated by Leon, I have never received words from him for about 100 years, but decades ago he suddenly contacted Me.

Since then, I have moved according to the wishes of “People It”. 」

「That guy, does he have a subordinate now?」

“No…. Little subordinate. Including me, there are only a few others. But the ability to gather information was frightening.

The trend in the human city came from that person. While the information about the Demon King, comes from Me.

Even the information about the Eastern Power, it could be said that he had comprehended all the intelligence of the world. 」

“I saw. I understand.”

A few decades ago, huh?

I think something is connected.

What I think, and with the real facts.

From there, using the calculations of Wisdom Lord Raphael, we can get an estimate.

The conclusion is still waiting. However, his estimate seems uncertain.

But that means this case \= is closed .... The mastermind's goal, is it really just to turn Clayman into a True Demon King?

Bodo time.

I've heard everything I want to hear. Next thing to do, let's do it gently ..... (ED: I think the last part can also be translated as “Let's calm him”)

「I'll only tell you once. You won't be able to come back to life, you know? 」

So, I told Clayman.

If he can get up then it's not good.

For a moment it seemed Clayman still did not understand.

However, his face immediately paled.

“What? What are you talking about?”

He tried to avoid the question desperately.

I'm sure this guy has spoken honestly, but that's also part of his plan.

After I give death to him, he will release his astral body and then plan to revive himself.

But what a pity, Wisdom Lord Raphael had predicted that move.

Frankly, in front of me such a trick will be revealed.

Clayman judged that he couldn't win against me, so he chose to avoid tasting suffering.

Because he's talking too honestly, I doubt it.

The things he talked about were facts.

However, he had prepared himself to rise again after he died, he did not want to feel any more suffering.

This guy is really sneaky.

But in a sense, his persistence to go and report to his master was worthy of praise.

「Well, since we've heard what we want to hear, all that's left is Clayman's execution.

Is there any objection? If there is, then you are also against me. 」

I ignored the clamoring Clayman, and observed the response from the other Demon Lords.

“Do as you like.”

The Redhead, Guy replied as a representative.

There seems to be no objection.

“Stop! Oi, Stop !!! 」

Clayman noisy.

「As I promised, I'll give you a quick death. Saying prayers. 」

And when I said that, I put my hand on Clayman's head.

“No! Oi, stop it !!! Oi !!Please stop !!!

Him, help me! Kazaream-samaa !!! 」

No matter how hard you try to make a sound, it will not reach my conscience.

If you let such a person live, it would be the seed of disaster again.

Besides, thanks to you, the naivety in me is dead.

No more, I'll lose a friend because of my naivety.

“Mati!”

Clayman's voice that resisted shamefully, vanished from the place instantly.

By using the Gluttonous King Beelzebub, even the soul would be consumed completely.

Then, it will be transformed into a power within me.

A stained soul, an evil soul, even though it is a kind soul.

Everything was the same in death, the soul was destroyed inside me, and then transformed into pure magic power.

So, I gave Clayman as I promised. A Fast “Death”.
