Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN)
Demon King!

Demon Lord Clayman was in an unprecedented state of panic.

Man is guided to act according to plan.

The result should be bloodshed from the battle, filled with suffering and tragedy that his soul will reap and enjoy.

However, the battle was completed in an instant and all souls were absorbed by the third party.

He couldn't believe it, but recent reports confirmed it.

This was the stage prepared by that esteemed individual.

A battle between monsters and humans that would make Clayman rise up as a True Demon King.

Therefore, he barely cared about his subordinate, Myulan, and planned to dispose of it soon after.

But now he lost connection with her. Moreover, his curse had been released and he was now free.

This fact only adds to his anxiety.

But that's all that's not a concern.

Fortunately, he still had the strongest trump card known as Milim.

Therefore, he had forced Frey to schedule the – Walpurgis Banquet Subjugation Council.

Since there was Milim’s, Frey’s, and his signature on it, it was quickly approved; there he wanted to call for the extermination of the sassy Slime who dared to call himself the demon king and his city.

For marching his army towards the human city is strictly forbidden.

At this Conquest Council, he would first secure power over the other demon lords and then obtain the right to invade the Monster Country, Tempest.

While trampling every country along the way, of course.

As for the country's high ranking demons, he would make Milim destroy them.

If it had been a few days ago, he could have destroyed them all by himself, but due to the evolution of their master, they had all become demons and gained even greater strength.

At this point, Clayman lamented the fact that the first plan failed.

Well, he just had to arrange for whoever was left after Milim finished with them.

But…

Suddenly the demon king Ramiris, requested that Slime Rimuru be granted permission to attend.

And strangely, he was given permission very quickly.

Clayman tried to veto the request, of course, but, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, the other three demon kings accepted it.

Which caused Clayman's plans to fall apart.

The Walpurgis Banquet he painstakingly collected now was home to his enemies.

He also cannot escape from her.

If the slime itself came, even if Clayman called for conquest, a battle would ensue in Banquet.

“What to do? What should I do?”

Clayman desperately seeks a way out of this predicament.

This despair was observed by the grinning Frey.

What an unsightly man.

Everything went faster than he expected.

Although he did not expect this result, it was in his favor.

He looked at the expressionless Milim standing before him,

On her cute face – is completely emotionless,

In his eyes, he suddenly looked the other way. By Frey.

Frey nodded.

(Yes, that's right. I understand, Milim)

He replied in his mind, a deep whisper.

And…

(Clayman, you won't live much longer)

Frey quietly confirmed the upcoming plan.

＊ ＊ ＊

In an unknown land, in the deepest burial chamber,

In front of the ice forging coffin that sealed a beautiful naked girl with black hair was scattered, he said,

Standing as beings, themselves naked, looked at the coffin with a suspicious look.

(Ah, how beautiful. Uh.)

Observing and adoring the coffin girl is the secret hobby of this creature.

A beautiful silver-haired girl.

His heterochromatic eyes gleamed with a strange red and blue glow.

This, among its many extremely beautiful features, is the most prominent.

But perhaps the most attention-grabbing…

There were two pure teeth emerging from within her little lips.

When her little lips opened, she saw a pair of pure white fangs.

She is the ruler of the night, the Queen of Nightmares.

Demon Lord Ruminas Valentine's.

Even he, a vampire who possessed the overwhelming power of a demon king, was unable to break the ice coffin.

Because it was actually not made of ice but was a pure blob of holy spirit energy.

So, even touching the coffin would leave a burn scar on his body.

Yet…

Without caring for this, he was clinging to the ice coffin.

The invitation to attend Walpurgis Banquet reached this girl.

Unfortunately, many beings with comparable strength would be present.

Therefore, he currently lacked the strength to make them his enemy.

Although this annoyed him to no end, there was nothing he could do.

(Wait for me.).

He whispered the name of the girl he loved, and left the room.

And gathering a large amount of magical energy, he drowned the room in the darkness.

＊ ＊ ＊

Two men are chatting.

The first was a large and sturdy man who was famous for his height.

The others lay with slobbery, without the slightest hint of dignity.

However, since this was his usual appearance, the former did not mind him.

「So, how long will you stay here?

Are you going to start another journey after Walpurgis Banquet? 」

「No idea ~. So hurt. Nothing excites me anymore ~ 」

To the big man's question, he answered without any motivation.

But which one …

「But surely you have no choice but to participate in Walpurgis Banquet?

So you better start considering what you will do after 」

The big man concluded.

And looked at the vast sky above as if enjoying the view.

A few minutes passed without a sound between them,

「Hey, Dagrule, does your son feel like he's becoming a demon king?

I can take it under my watch, if you want? 」

The delicate man said as if he had just recalled this idea.

Big man ... no, Dagrule closed his eyes for a moment and was deep in thought.

One of the Giants, this demon king is often referred to as “Continent’s Wrath”.

Usually as a gentle man he finds the title unpleasant, but when angry he really can't stop his hand.

His strength greatly increased when enraged so he was a demon lord who was treated with great care.

And his closest friend, the gentle man, never made him angry.

To the gentle man's words,

「Well, they were similar to me when I was young.

They were rash, underestimated everything, and believed that beings stronger than them did not exist.

They'll underestimate you, Dino 」

He retaliated.

The gentleman's name was Dino. A man of an unknown race with an appearance no different from a human.

But, he had magical energy in such an amount that no human could match.

Even though he was a handsome man, his sleepy gaze damaged his attractiveness.

But he was also a demon king. Called “The Wandering King” or “King of the Sleeping Forest”.

Even now, he had left his home and was on his way.

And after exhausting all her powers during the journey, she ends up in the care of her best friend Dagrule.

Responding to the words Dagrule,

「Ah, I don't mind. My value will not diminish from such a thing.

But if they are brash, what about you bringing them?

You have three sons, so I can bring one of them in my name? 」

She said.

Of course, he intended to take them to the Demon King's Walpurgis Banquet.

Dagruel thought of these few words.

And,

「Can I ask you this? If they act foolishly and die without knowing true strength, then that is all.

So showing them true strength will be a very good lesson 」

He's nodding.

Third son. Like him, they were a ruthless group.

Agreeing to bring them along, they continued the conversation with this thought.

However, bringing them there was tantamount to lighting a fire beside gunpowder, but both of them failed to recognize it.

After all, both of them were very bad at careful planning.

＊ ＊ ＊

On the ice-covered ground where a violent snowstorm struck,

Proudly stood a tall castle.

Around it is covered in ice sheets, with a temperature of minus 120 ° Celsius so that no one can live there.

A beautiful castle adorned the land.

His presence proves the unimaginable amount of magical energy – is truly a supreme demon castle.

The fort was named “White” Ice Palace.

And it was ruled by Demon Lord Guy Crimson.

There are creatures that walk leisurely in the castle.

Platinum Gold long hair, blue squinty eyes. A well-defined face.

The skin is so white that it is almost transparent.

She was so beautiful that she must have been mistaken for a woman.

The Demon King Leon Cromwell. The so-called Blonde Devil.

He continued through the hall as if he had it.

In front of him was a door with a beautiful carved decoration. It led to the spectator room of the castle lord.

Leon's destination present is the castle's ruler, the demon Lord Guy Crimson.

Leon stood in front of the door, and the two great servant demons opened it.

And,

「Demon King Leon Cromwell-sama has arrived!」

The female-like devil announces Leon's arrival from above.

Inside, many powerful Great Demons stood to the side.

Each of them was a named demon so it greatly surpassed the strength of the larger normal demons.

There are more than 200 in total.

Named Great demons were different from normal ones because they had physical bodies in this world.

So each one could easily rival a high rank Devil.

In other words, the room had 200 creatures with ranks that easily surpassed A.

But that's not all…

At the end of the room, in front of the throne of Demon King Guy Crimson stood six demons with terrifying strength.

They're called Arch demons.

Their battle power surpassed that of any demon. This is a pseudo demon king level demon.

But…

These six demon generals prevented excessive words from being punished.

Mastering all of this as the left and right hand of Demon Lord Guy Crimson were two demons.

After becoming “Devil” Officers, these two women served as Demon King spokespersons.

They had a power that rivaled that of a demon king.

“Devil” Officer Mizari and “Devil” Officer Hirari.

Leon went a step further and stood right under the throne.

And that's where Mizari and Hirari knelt, and

「「 Leon-sama, it's been a long time 」」

At the same time they greeted Leon with a sweet voice.

And at the same time, the Ruler of the Castle stood up from his throne.

Only the two demon lords now had the right to move inside the room.

「A long time ago, my friend Leon. Are you in good health?

Let me thank you for coming when I called you! 」

A beautiful, projecting sound, dark red eyes that covered the beauty of the stars, hair flowing like fire, with a red color deeper than the color of blood.

He was the same height as Leon.

Where Leon is as beautiful as a woman, Guy's beauty is more neutral.

He could be called a woman or a man; a strange physique.

While calling out to him, he stood up from the throne and walked up to Leon.

And after shaking Leon's hand, she hugged him.

And without hesitation, he placed his hand on Leon's face and kissed him.

Leon pulled away with a frown,

“Stop. I'm not interested in dating a man. How many times have I told you this? 」

He told her, thinking of it as a distraction.

「A haha. Heartless as always.

You know, if you ask, I'll be a woman?

Ah whatever, move to another room 」

He said, and without waiting began to walk.

It happens all the time.

He showed a lot of skin while wearing a kimono in this very cold country.

Perhaps recalling the taste of Leon's lips, a lewd smile formed on his dazzling face.

And he started moving his tongue around his red lips….

The movement had a suspicious bewitching effect.

Being androgynous, he can be a man or woman at will.

He ... or maybe he is Demon Lord Guy Crimson.

The Castle Lord and the oldest Demon King.

Guy continues the journey showing Leon the way.

Leon followed him without any sign of worry.

Until the two of them left the audience room, no one moved.

Because it would be an unforgivable act.

With their heads bowed, they waited until their master and guests left.

After confirming their departure, Mizari and Hirari stood up.

And,

“Dissolve!”

They ordered their men.

As for them, they started making tea for guests.

Among the highest beings in the castle, the task of this “Devil” Official is nothing more than taking care of Demon Lord Guy Crimson.

And that job had the highest priority within the castle.

In order not to get any displeasure from his master, they immediately started to work…

Leon follows Guy to the Ice Terrace on the highest floor.

Although it is open to the outside, snow is not allowed to enter.

Environment optimized for life.

First of all, Guy is not affected by the environment. In other words, the room was made for Leon's pleasure.

Although Guy usually looked down on strangers, for his friends he spent manpower or expense.

“As usual,” thought Leon while sitting down.

Although the chair he was sitting on was made of ice, he did not feel any coldness.

It's also a routine.

“So? Why did you call me? 」

Forcefully dropping into the chair, Leon asked.

When they had time to prepare it was uncertain, but Hirari brought tea.

Mizari quietly stood at the entrance to the terrace.

He did it without anyone noticing.

They stood up not to interrupt Guy's conversation, and hence, did not greet Leon.

The girls were nothing more than tools.

Since they had nothing to do with this conversation, they were not even allowed to show any expression unless instructed to do so.

So any movement that was not specifically ordered from them would cause a definite and swift death.

In fact, even if Leon attacked Guy, they wouldn't move.

Guy is their highest employer, so worrying about his health is disrespectful.

Thus, ignoring their existence, they continued the discussion.

“Ah. You know about the upcoming Walpurgis Banquet?

I'm thinking that if you can't attend this time, I'll force you to attend 」

“Hah? You know I hate this meeting?

But I plan to attend 」

「Oh? Good then. I plan on making you a clone and attend like that.

I can make you hug me then 」

「I don't consider men as partners. Even among women I only go for what I want.

For Me to embrace you would be equivalent to some reward, right? 」

「What's with that? Tell me before. If you want to, I'll be a woman for you.

Bodo time. Didn't he?

Why did you decide to participate this time? 」

“Ah..”

Leon made a brief pause, but then continued speaking.

「This time the banquet was hosted by Clayman. Small fish.

I wonder why Milim is supporting him.

And Karion's death is also suspicious.

At first it was because Clayman wanted to spur us on conquest, but then Ramiris requested that the party in question be present.

In other words, everything is connected.

So I feel the need to see, this new Demon Lord “Rimuru” 」

「Oh. So you're sure Rimuru has the qualifications to become a demon lord, huh?

How funny, I thought the same thing.

As for Milim, he might just be playing around. There was no point in trying to figure out what he was thinking.

The wise man in me cannot understand a fool. That might be a weakness.

So it's okay to ignore the opinion of someone like Clayman; Ra On the other hand, the opinion of the lyrical seems promising.

If he finds someone interesting, maybe even I will enjoy myself. 」

「... Ramiris, yes? I'm not good with him. Since the moment we met.

I've been thinking of going and killing him a few times …

But since he mentioned it, I better go and see 」

「A hahaha. Don'tdon't. If you kill Ramiris, I'll be your enemy 」

“Good. And I don't want to die yet. If you come to Me, I don't see a chance to win 」

「Hmm? Not everything. You have one in a million chance to kill me, you know? 」

「Then it's not good. I'm only interested in fights I can win 」

「Stop with humility. There are some people who can even hurt me.

Having the chance to kill me means you're strong. Confident 」

「Hmph-deep. I'm confident. To anyone but you, that is. 」

That's where their conversation stopped,

And without a moment passing by,

「Ara. Is your conversation over?

Leon-sama, I welcome the most humble 」

Sounds like ice.

And it came from a beautiful white-haired girl.

Clean white skin, with cool and dazzling Blue Diamond colored eyes.

And bright white lips.

A girl walks without Guy's permission.

But he doesn't need his permission. In other words, he was on par with them.

“Es” Empress she was called, but better known by her name “Selzado” Ice Dragon.

He was one of the four dragons, and the first subordinate of Demon Lord Guy Crimson.

Although rather than calling him a subordinate, it might be more appropriate to call him a partner.

Existence that is far different from his tools.

「Yeah, Velzatto. Beautiful as usual”

「Ara? Even if it's just a compliment, your words make me happy 」

Brief polite exchange.

It does not reveal their true feelings.

「Hmph-deep. You guys are having a bad relationship as usual 」

Guy was also annoyed by their hostility.

Usually, this will lead to an unpleasant exchange …

But this time, Velzatto changed the subject.

“True, true. “Brothers” has awakened 」

He suddenly stated.

“Build? “Storm Sealed Dragon Valdora”?

I know that he was sealed, but didn't they say he was removed? 」

“Iya. She was silent before disappearing, so I thought about helping her …

Removed it's pathetic, you know.

He is trapped in an isolated space created by a hero who cannot be influenced by the outside.

Many creatures lost their lives by being swallowed by such a barrier 」

“Oh Interesting.

In that case, who can remove this hero seal?

Unique skill “Eternal Prison”, apart from other heroes, can not be eliminated with normal skill.

I have. skills, and maybe with.

Yes, we have planned to release it sooner or later.

But considering he had not gone berserk since being released, does that mean he had weakened? 」

“Iya. He's got. The response I got from him was strangely weak.

But still, not rampaging like him.

After all, its existence was made around the concept of violence. 」

「Well, however, I have no desire to fight Veldora.

If you want to make it yours, do as you want.

By the way, let's meet at Walpurgis Banquet 」

「You've left?」

“Yes. That's all you want from me, right? 」

「Ah, wait a minute. No need to rush.

By the way, have you succeeded with “SpecialCall”? 」

“... Not yet.

Frankly, I don't really care about the new demon lord or anything.

It's just that, according to my sources, this one might mess up my calling test 」

「Oh? The one named Rimuru? 」

“Yes. So I want to at least meet him once.

But I will ignore Ramiris, as long as you know. 」.

「Only want to know, but who is this informant?」

“No ideas. Magic Energy is an important factor when calling “World Tourists”.

When I call, because I try to narrow down the criteria as much as possible, the interval becomes longer.

Right now, I can only summon one creature every sixty-six years.

But since I need to narrow down the criteria even more, my next summoning trial will be in ninety-nine years.

This informant tried calling at my place all this time 」

「How shy you」

「I've failed so many times, you know. Even after getting “Luck Blessed” from Ramiris, I can't make it 」

「Is this important?」

「Ya .. For me, it's more important than anything in the world」

“I saw. Well then, I won't say anything.

But about this assistant ... is he trustworthy? 」

“Trust? Not likely. But he does have a use 」

“I saw. I know I don't need to say this, but be careful 」

「It's not like you, Guy. But, I'll take that warning.

Thank ye. Now, let's meet at Walpurgis Banquet 」

Leaving these words, Leon left, leaving,

Only leaving the light balls due to Spatial Movement magic.

Seeing this,

「What an impatient man. Well, it's like he's 」

Guy muttered while grimacing.

「But, he has created a dangerous gap.

“This unknown Assistant” ... should I destroy it? 」

Velsatto asked in a cold voice,

「Do not. Unnecessary actions will only make Leon unhappy.

I have no desire to be hated by a friend 」

Guy replied, not worried.

For Guy, Leon is such a trustworthy friend that these words are born out of familiarity with his personality.

Moreover, he only knew how powerful Leon's abilities were.

「When he comes asking, we will help him」

「Understanding」

And the conversation ended.

Guy confirmed that his stay-at-home friend would attend. Although he was summoned regardless of his needs, Leon did not seem to mind.

Guy had also ignored the call several times, but could not remember why.

So, after a long time, all the demon lords will gather.

「This banquet seems promising, will you come?」

「Will I .. No, I won't.

I have no interest in demon lord 」

“Is that so? Alright. Then, I leave home-sitting for you 」

“Iya. I'll make the necessary preparations 」

Velzatto left after saying these words.

Guy, left behind, observed the aura of the icy continent, while thinking about the upcoming Walpurgis Banquet.

A cunning demon king is on the loose.

Small fried fish, signifying a weakened demon lord.

A reclusive friend who finally took action – Guy found this point interesting.

And, the birth of a new demon king.

Really funny. He felt his heart beating hard for the first time in hundreds of years.

The final battle was between the weak.

Maybe he can look forward to what is coming.

With that thought, he began to think of the hero.

When was the last time he felt it …

The man who invaded Leon's castle was also a hero.

Leon flees without fighting, claiming that the hero is very powerful.

It is not strange for humans to die of old age now, but Ramiris claims that this hero is “isti.me”.

So it is not strange if it can extend its life.

His movements were also disorganized, only appearing in the presence of powerful individuals.

Guy could never meet the hero, but wanted to try to fight him once.

This time the fight might be great.

This might not only involve monsters, but having saints and humans mixed in, resulting in a great disaster.

So maybe a hero will show up.

At this point, Guy had completely forgotten the new demon lord.

To him, the demon lord was a trivial existence …

He wants to meet a hero. That thought made him smile.
