Rimuru chose to use [Movement] to arrive at a small village.
In addition to serving as a transit point between the Kingdom of Boermont and the Demon City Rimuru, this village is also home to a group of pigmen who are responsible for the construction of various road projects.
This is also the prototype of a satellite city where some demons who surrendered to the monsters were dispersed to various places to expand the development area of the demon kingdom when the monster town began to expand into a demon city.
Rimuru chose this place because he judged based on the known intelligence that if humans were to attack the Demon Kingdom, this place would definitely be affected by the war.
As soon as he arrived, he felt a bloody smell coming towards his face!
"Warning. One hundred and twenty-seven humans were discovered, fighting with twenty-one pigmen, twelve hob goblins, and three kobolds. The monsters are expected to be annihilated in twenty-three minutes and sixteen seconds."
.》
"You don't need to say it! I saw it with my eyes!"
Just as Rimuru ran into the village, intending to knock down all those people first, a group of adventurers or people dressed as mercenaries who were patrolling the outside and on guard also discovered him.
"There are actually humans?" The inexperienced person pointed a weapon at Rimuru, "It would be bad to kill humans. I have no choice but to kill them by pretending to be monsters later——"
Originally, Rimuru had planned to be merciful, but these words, coupled with the bloody smell spread by the family members and the superposition of a series of previous situations, made the strings in Rimuru's heart break.
"There must have been quite a few dead," he said to himself.
"Report. Confirmed that within a radius of 300 meters, there are thirty-one corpses of the individual 'Rimuru Hekatia Tempest' family members, and the individual 'Cronpis Lilith Hekatia Ram'
There are two corpses from the Pardes family. Their souls have been decomposed and cannot be resurrected using the magic [Resurrection of the Dead]."
"Then I will at least...venge them...!"
Facing the first thing that slashed at him, Rimuru didn't bother to pull out his weapon and directly activated [Beelzebub, the King of Gluttony] to swallow him and melt him inside his body.
Most people who saw this scene for the first time were frightened by this strange phenomenon.
But there was still a tall man who raised a two-handed sword that looked not as good as the one made by dwarves, but was still pretty close, and attacked him.
Rimuru noticed the sword-wielding skills and was a little surprised: "He actually knows some of the skills of a strong man like Shiro. It seems to be equivalent to an A-level adventurer, which is considered the top level of ordinary people... Well, the difference
Not big."
If you were to fight him properly in swordsmanship, Rimuru felt that it would take some time without using any skills.
But he was not in the mood to fight at all, thinking that this person might not be of low status, so he activated [Beelzebub, King of Gluttony] again, swallowed the sword, and ate his hands and feet alone.
Then he put a handful of tiny [Black Lightning] on his fingertips to burn the wound to stop the bleeding, then made him into a human stick and threw it on the ground.
What makes Rimuru a little strange is that although there are more humans, they seem to be strong, but the demon country's combat power should not be so inferior.
There are a lot of enemies, so long-range attacks are more effective.
The casualties will be greater if we drag it on, so it’s time to clear the area.
"Master, let me do it!" Lanka poked her head out from the shadow, and she was also angry at the scene in front of her. However, considering her master's original love for human beings, even if he had to kill him, he could not do it.
"Thank you, but no need. Just lend me your power." Rimuru said quietly and launched the large-scale attack skill [Black Thunder Storm] on the spot.
Suddenly there was lightning and thunder above the village.
Under precise control, no one on our side was affected, and all thunderstorms bypassed them and buildings like long eyes, hitting almost all enemies.
The screams and wails quickly disappeared.
Valley
Rimuru then grabbed the only survivor - the guy who had been made into a human stick, and asked: "What are you doing?"
"Accept...the commission...to destroy the monsters, why...you want to...help...them..."
"Who is the client?"
The man glanced at a certain charred corpse.
Rimuru secretly asked if soldiers would also do this kind of commission. It didn't look like the equipment of that person was like that of an officer. Could it be that his family happened to have money and he was poor, so he hired a private bodyguard to serve as a bodyguard? It's also possible that his parents put them into the army to gain experience.
Second generation official.
However, these people probably have not done anything illegal under the laws of human countries.
But it doesn't matter.
Since he killed the citizens of his own country, of course he couldn't let it go. It seemed that this person had decent skills. Rimuru activated [Beelzebub, the King of Gluttony] to eat him completely, which could somewhat strengthen his sword.
Technical skills.
This person seems to have no higher intelligence value. It was a mistake. The person who should be left alive should not be the strongest person but the leader of this army.
Diavolo appeared at the right time and said, "Lord Rimuru, do you need to torture the souls of these people?"
"Please, get as much useful information as possible. But you still prioritize protecting teachers and students. Don't let them be frightened when they see this scene."
"Please feel free to leave it to me."
After Diavolo took the order to take the people away, the saved monsters and demons also surrounded him.
"Rimuru-sama, you are back..."
"Thank you Rimuru-sama for saving us."
"We strictly followed Rimuru-sama's order and only planned to drive them away, but these humans..."
"Shut up! You sound like you are scolding that this is all Rimuru-sama's fault!"
"...Uh, I'm so sorry...I didn't mean that..."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
The apology did not reach Rimuru's ears. He was annoyed. Is this all his fault? Is it all his fault that the tragedies that have happened in human countries are all his fault? He obviously just wants to get along well with humans even as a monster.
That's it. What should he do?
However, reality has not given him enough time to struggle, and the war is probably still going on.
Rimuru put those things behind him and chose to escape, thinking that a village had suffered such a disaster. Where were the other villages?
Because he was not used to certain things, he did not include Diavolo in his combat power when he met him for the first time.
Fortunately, there are still people available.
"Lanka, take your family members to patrol the villages along the road. When you encounter enemies, defeat them. If the enemy really intends to take your lives, there is no problem in killing them, but try to be careful to capture people who are suspected of being important figures alive." Rimuru said.
"Yes, Master!" Lanka jumped out of the shadow energetically, summoned several more star wolves, and ran along the road.
Then, Rimuru activated his ultimate ability [Storm King Veldora].
