Rimuru, who was being entertained at Clayman Territory, was visited one night by a demon who brought his colleagues and students from when he was a teacher at Free Academy.
The devil told him the terrible news that shocked him greatly.
Hearing that his companions in the human kingdom were attacked by powerful mysterious forces during this period, and that the devil came here to find him with only a few people in the contract, Rimuru couldn't help but think: Maybe Crown
Everyone except Pisi is already in bad shape.
But in the report the devil made to Rimuru, he also mentioned the fact that during the departure process, he sensed that the people who were playing with Crounpiss and other suspected monsters and demons had successfully escaped in several waves, which made Rimuru
Mulu breathed a sigh of relief.
However, those who arrived later to continue fighting with Clownpiss and other monsters, according to this dark demon's inference, were from the Western Holy Church, and the leader was none other than Hinata Sakaguchi. Shizu and Yuuki mentioned that it was
At present, Sakaguchi Hinata, the senior of these five children, is the leader of those people, and this incident made Rimuru instantly feel dizzy.
At the same time, Rimuru also secretly speculated and suspected, did this demon do a lot of things outside of the contract? Although it was very convenient to save the time to investigate here, Rimuru was surprised that there was no delay at all.
work ability.
High, maybe even stronger than the three original ones from the Clawnpith Familia before they got their names?
Anyway, Rimuru responded with courtesy and gratitude: "You helped a lot, thank you very much."
The devil became restless and respectful again: "No, you have given me the reward. Then——"
"I've taken up so much time and asked you to be careful about the price you paid. I'm sorry, but you can go back." Rimuru saw the devil looking like he had nowhere to put his butt, and thought that the price was about to be spent and he was homesick.
, I planned to see off the guests again.
But the demon seemed to have received an even greater 10,000 points of damage than before, and seemed to burst into tears on the spot.
"Huh? Didn't Teacher Tis pay you enough?" Rimuru asked out of concern.
But the other party categorically denied it: "Please let me find a small position under you, even if I am at the bottom. What do you think?"
Rimuru felt that this was different from the purple-white-yellow vitality, elegance and arrogance of Crounpith's subordinates. It was another kind that was very special among demons. Now that something happened over there, he could still fight with some confidence.
, subordinates with good investigative skills are very important, but this guy will be very troublesome if he loses control. However, there are other demons of the same level in the Demon Kingdom, so you don’t need to worry too much. It’s just——
Rimuru remembered that those demons seemed to be paid zero wages, and only received three-guarantee services such as food, accommodation, and sleep. The price of their work was fully paid when they were given a physical body.
"If I want to be my subordinate, apart from supporting the flesh and blood of the real world, I won't get any salary." Rimuru said.
"That's not important. I'll be happy to serve you." The devil said happily.
Then Rimuru had no reason to refuse: "Okay, from now on you will be our partner. I hope you will be active in solving this incident."
"Oh oh oh oh! Thank you Lord!"
"Don't call me that. If it's Crounpis, I'll probably be happy with it. I'll forget it and just call me Rimuru."
"Rimuru-sama!"
"Uh... Okay, what's your name?" Rimuru doesn't think such a powerful demon will be nameless, right?
Guyu
But the other person said that he was really nameless.
Tis seems to be muttering "Isn't it called black?", but that probably refers to his own color.
For the sake of convenience in the future, Rimuru felt a little guilty if he didn't offer any reward, so he said, "Then I'll give you my name as part of the reward. Is that okay?"
"Of course, this is the supreme reward!"
Rimuru couldn't figure out why such a high-level demon could be as happy as those originally weak races with a name that could improve his strength. He simply didn't want to say the name of a demon he was familiar with in his previous life: "You
His name is Diavolo, don’t be ashamed of this name.”
Then a large amount of magic energy was lost, and Diavolo began to evolve. He was wrapped in a black cocoon, and the magic energy he emitted became more intense.
"Wait, how could you name such a powerful demon so easily?" Tis was dumbfounded, "If you don't pay attention when making a deal with such a demon, your soul will be drained."
"Even if Mr. Tis says so, you who summoned him will be even more reckless, right? And I've already named him before I just say it... there's no point." Rimuru said, giving up on himself.
"Although it's rude to say this to the devil, I don't know why I can summon such a powerful devil." Tis said.
"Are you attracted by this fluctuation? Teacher Tis, I will transport you and the children to my country to settle down. Later, the chaos of the demons here will put too much pressure on you." Rimuru said.
After Tis agreed, Rimuru launched [Move Base] against them.
"Report. Unable to lock the teleportation point. The speculated reason is as follows. It is isolated by some kind of barrier and cannot contact the outside world."
"Oops!" Rimuru thought about what he had just heard, and immediately thought that it was not a simple attack on the "beautiful monster princess", but that it might be malicious to the Demon Kingdom as a whole, and would be detrimental to the Demon Kingdom.
Coincidentally, it is not long before the [Four Directional Seal Demon Sealing Barrier] and the [Magic Defense Barrier] were opened in Limulu, the Demon City of the Demon Kingdom.
On the one hand, Diavolo's magic speed is quite fast, and on the other hand, the human side's combat arrangements are well planned. No matter whether it goes smoothly or not, there is not much difference in the start time of each battle.
Rimuru was really panicking now.
A barrier that can block even space magic is not necessarily just one layer, but affects all magic within the range. The operation of magic in this world relies on magic elements and magic power. If the operation of these is affected, it is necessary to make a living.
The monsters and demons will naturally have a hard time, and the weak monsters may be dying on the spot!
While Rimuru ordered the clones who stayed in the castle to catch up with the guys who came to check the situation and explain the situation, he said to Diavolo: "I will take you to teleport to other places in the Demon Kingdom later, but you can't do it for the time being.
Focus on protecting them, and don't follow them yet. If the enemy attacks you, capture them alive."
"Why is it so difficult? Please feel free to leave it to me, Lord Rimuru." Diavolo happily accepted the first task assigned to him by Rimuru and was determined to complete it with all his strength, no matter how difficult it was for him.
