Perhaps to match the title of the Demon King, the time for the Demon King's Feast is set at midnight.
The war between the Demon Kingdom Federation and Clayman's side started earlier. Led by Rimuru's confidant General Benimaru, cadres launched an attack on Clayman's territory.
Rimuru, Ji Xing, Ramiris and others were waiting for the 'introducer' to pick them up and take them to the venue, while chatting with Veludra about the situation of the top ten demon kings today.
In this way, time came to the appointed time little by little. Everyone caught the skewed fluctuations in the space, and a door appeared in front of them.
This was a deliberate pomp, so the door had a very complicated and unique shape, like a passage to hell. From the door, a green-haired beauty in a maid outfit walked out.
"I'm here to pick you up, Lady Ramiris." She greeted Ramiris first, then turned her eyes to the others, and finally locked onto Shyvana and Rimuru.
"Are these the two you mentioned? If you don't mind, please come with us."
Of course the two of them didn't mind, as they didn't know the way themselves. Rimuru could feel that the guide was a very high-level demon like Diavolo, but he saw that Ramiris had already happily flown into the passage.
, there was no time to explore, so he quickly nodded to Ji Xing and followed the passage.
Ji Xing and Shyvana then walked in.
After passing through the luxurious door, they went straight to the venue. The decoration of the venue was relatively simple, except for a particularly huge round table.
Around the round table, there are twelve chairs arranged at equal intervals. It is very well thought out, even if the current 'missing' Carion is added, as well as Rimuru and Shyvana, the two people who were raped by Ramiris.
The recommended 'New Demon King' is enough to sit on.
Before them, there was only one enchanting-looking red-haired man who arrived at the venue and sat casually across from him, seeming to be concentrating with his eyes closed.
From his body, he only radiated the same amount of magic energy fluctuations as before Carrion's awakening. He looked ordinary, but no one dared to look down upon him, because he was none other than the original Red Guy Curry among the original seven demons.
Mthorn, the oldest demon king and the mediator of the world, once fought with Milim for seven days and seven nights with no outcome.
Ramiris, who entered the venue first, had already sat on the chair next to him, ignoring her short legs. She was as happy as a child asking for credit: "Qiyi, Qiyi! Our Demon King's team has grown!
Look, Rimuru and Shyvana are both powerful demon kings that I introduced. Well, they will also be subordinates who obey my arrangements in the future!"
Guy opened his eyes and saw Ramiris waving her little fist in an impressive manner. He didn't make any comment, he just chuckled and looked away.
'Oh? Have you all awakened?'
Forgetting the Flame Dragon Clan, a slime can actually become an awakened demon king? He was a little surprised, thinking that it seemed that Clayman would be 'eliminated' this time. No, even if the slime hadn't awakened, it would still be a demon king.
From the moment he felt that he had control over Milim, Clayman was already sure that he would fall behind.
The unique skill cannot surpass the ultimate skill, and even he cannot control Milim who has the ultimate skill, so it is just seen as a farce.
As a mediator of the world, his goal is to maintain the balance of the world and prevent it from being destroyed. The Demon King's Feast is an event he organized to fight against certain guys. It excludes the weak and unawakened Demon King Clayman and can supplement the two demon kings.
Being named the Awakened Demon King really made him feel good.
but……
"Human?" His eyes turned to Ji Xing.
"Hello, I'm Ji Xing." Ji Xing greeted him with a smile: "Because I'm a little curious about the Demon King's Feast, I came here to take a look as Shyvana's follower. I hope you won't mind."
Each demon king can bring two followers to the Demon King's Feast, but even Leon, who fell from a human hero to a demon king, has never brought a pure human. Ji Xing did not pretend to be Shyvana's
Servants or something like that, they are treating the devil kings as fools.
Although there is no precedent, there is no clause that does not allow humans to participate in the Demon King's Feast. Qi Yi does not care about this kind of thing and just said: "Did you say your name is Ji Xing? I seem to have heard of this name, Field Skills Merchant
?”
"Well, it's me."
Oh, so this awakened flame dragon... is his subordinate? Qi Yi murmured to himself, somewhat surprised: "I have heard a lot about you, and I was just looking for you. Please stay a little longer after the Demon King's feast.
Come on, let’s talk alone.”
"Okay." Ji Xing agreed.
Rimuru, who was led to her seat by the demon Misali, glanced at Ji Xing with some worry. She hoped that Ji Xing would come to give her strength, but she was worried that Ji Xing would cause unnecessary trouble by attending the Demon King's Banquet, because humans
My identity has been targeted by the demon kings, and this has been mentioned several times before.
Does it seem true now? As soon as I arrived, I was targeted by the most troublesome guy. I was left alone after the Demon King’s feast. How could I sound like that...
Don't leave after school?
The wonderful metaphor in her mind made her feel a little funny, so her nervousness subsided and she concentrated on observing the arrival of another demon king.
He didn't bring anyone else with him, he was just alone, but his courage shocked the whole audience. He was so tall and strong that he had full oppressive power just by walking.
The giant demon king, Dagliel!
This man did not restrain his own magic energy fluctuations like Guy did. The amount of magic energy was so huge that Rimuru felt that if he was 1, the opponent would have at least 10.
As expected of the ancient demon king who had fought against Veldora many times, Rimuru felt pressured by the fourth demon king, but was not overly afraid because the amount of magic element did not fully represent combat effectiveness.
After the Giant King, there is the vampire demon king Valentine. This demon king is also not weak, but after Rimuru analyzed it through the King of Wisdom, he discovered that behind Valentine was a beautiful girl maid with bright silver hair.
Possessing superior deterrence.
Well, analysis and identification are not necessarily foolproof. Maybe Demon King Valentine has hidden some magic fluctuations, just like Qi Yi or even Ji Xing. Teacher Raphael, the King of Wisdom, cannot read their hidden power at all.
King of Wisdom: "..."
Rimuru thought like this, and found that the King of Wisdom once again wanted to say something but stopped talking, and was quickly attracted by the fifth Demon King who arrived.
He was a sleepy-eyed guy with only two swords lightly adorned on his body, dragging heavy steps like a walking zombie. Even his dark purple mixed with silver hair and handsome high school student face could not save his laziness.
Demon King ‘Sleeping Dominator’, Dino.
He didn't seem to be interested in the newcomers. Unlike the first two demon kings who arrived, they still observed Rimuru to some extent. Shyvana glanced at them and walked to Ramiris to say hello.
"Good morning, you are still as miniscule as ever."
"Hmph." If it were in the past, Ramiris would probably be irritated by Dino, and the two would have a rough and tumble fight like happy enemies. This was also the sideshow of every Demon King's feast.
But today, Ramiris just snorted proudly, flapped her wings and flew high to eye level with Dino, saying: "Dino, you came to mess with me today, but you kicked the iron plate! Ouch!"
She waved her little fist, which had no deterrent effect as always. Dino was too lazy to hide, but at this moment, the white little fist quickly enlarged in Dino's sight, turning into an adult's fist, and suddenly
Hit him in the nose!
With a thud, Dino fell to the ground.
The other demon kings, including his followers, all looked over in shock, and the atmosphere was a little restless.
Dino, who was lying on the ground and covering his nose, was even more shocked as he looked in front of Ramiris, who was smiling triumphantly with her arms akimbo. Although some parts were still as ordinary as before, the current Ramiris had changed from 30
Centimeters become an adult figure!
"You, you restored it? No, if you count the time, it has only been a few decades since you became smaller this time!"
"Hahaha, that's the past tense." Ramiris' face seemed to have an abnormal blush due to excitement, and she waved her big fist and said: "I have mastered new skills, and I can return to my prime at any time in the future.
! Demon kings, the great Elf Queen is back. Let’s surrender and worship me starting from today’s Demon King’s feast!”
'No, this state doesn't look like a healthy recovery at all. The blood flow rate is accelerated, the mood is extremely excited, and the strength... is far from being restored to Ramiris's peak period.'
The discerning demon king noticed something strange, and Qi Yi even set his sights on Ji Xing. They came together. Can this ultimate human skill not only give skills to humans, but also give individual skills to all living beings?
Isn't Millis's skill similar to increasing emotional excitement?
Interesting...hopefully no side effects.
His eyes turned slightly. He felt guilty that Ramiris had become like this because she prevented him from fighting Milim. He had always 'loved' her and did not want Ramiris to get into trouble.
On the other side, Ramiris felt that her performance had shocked everyone, and she was chirping like a lark, feeling very proud.
It’s true that I have accumulated the ‘anger’ in advance. From today on, no one will dare to underestimate and resist Lord Ramiris! So... let’s start by subduing Dino to be my subordinate!
But at this moment, Dino sat up with a distressed look on his face and stretched out his palm to Ramiris.
Dare you resist?!
Ramiris hummed in disdain and wanted to slap the hand away, but found that the palm was rapidly enlarging in front of her eyes. No, it was me who was getting smaller?!
"No...wait!"
The smaller Ramiris was pinched by Dino's slap. She fluttered desperately but could not escape. She said angrily: "Oh, damn... Ji Xing, the duration of your skills is too short!"
Hey, Ramiris, don't put the focus on us! Rimuru was anxious, but Ji Xing, who was standing behind Shyvana, smiled indifferently: "Skills have limits, I did it specially
Improvement, as long as you continue to fight, you can always accumulate anger and maintain the enlarged state, but the sacrifice is your recovery speed during the truce. Do you want to change back? Maintain it longer? "
"Oh yes, I forgot."
Ramiris waved her little fist in frustration: "Damn it, are you getting carried away? It seems that next time I have to beat Dino continuously!"
Dino put Ramiris back on his seat with a stern look on his face and shrugged his nose. The unbearable disaster seemed to make him even less motivated, and he dragged his heavy steps towards his seat.
The eyes of Daglier and Valentin focused on Ji Xing. The not-so-simple maid behind Valentin whispered: "Lord Valentin, I reported to you about the 'skill merchant'."
Demon King Valentine looked enlightened and said in a low voice: "I was wondering before why the follower brought by the newcomer was a human being. Are you the 'wild skills merchant'?"
"Yes." Ji Xing said with a smile: "If you, the Demon King and the Demon King's cronies, want to buy skills, please come to me anytime. There are various types, high quality and low price, and large quantities are preferential. At present, the buyer of the Demon King level has a maximum load, but the price is ten to eight.
I can still afford an A-level and B-level skill, first come first served."
"..."
How many years have it been since we heard sales pitches from humans? The demon kings thought to themselves, but this human seems to be a little scheming, and at the same time exposed the shortcomings of his own skills? No, it is natural to have limits to things like skills.
"Hey, Raphael-sensei, is this what...a social terrorist?" Rimuru couldn't help but asked the King of Wisdom in his heart.
King of Wisdom: "Information. Confidence in one's own strength can bring more confidence."
'Hmm... Haha, what? Although Ji Xing must be very strong, maybe even stronger than me now, facing so many powerful demon kings, no one can say that he has full confidence, right? Don't do it for him
Explained, that's the kind of person he is!'
"..."
The slightly weird atmosphere was interrupted when a gentle voice intervened: "Oh, this feast seems to be particularly lively."
At the same time, a fragrant body fragrance made Rimuru a little intoxicated. She turned around and shouted in her heart: "This is Frey, the Queen of the Sky? This figure and appearance... are not good, Shion's mood is not right."
, are you keenly aware that I am about to be seduced? Hey, wait...'
"Frey, are you awake?" Valentine asked with some surprise: "I have not heard that humans have been killed on a large scale recently...except for the Farmus army that was killed by the resurrected evil dragon."
"It has nothing to do with that, it's just a fluke." Fleur returned to her seat calmly and said: "Speaking of which, you old demon kings are really good at hiding. In the past, I only thought that my talent and foundation were not enough, and I actually had the awakening.
This thing?"
This only got two low groans. You are neither a relative nor an ally, so why should we remind you? And the fact that Fleur arrived and became the awakened demon king also diverted Ji Xing's attention.
It is worth mentioning that this time Carrion did not follow Fleur in a crude disguise like in the original work. He had just awakened and could not control the demonic energy well. Although Clayman behaved stupidly, he was also
You can't completely think of him as a fool.
Following closely was a beautiful blond man. To say he was beautiful was no exaggeration. Although he was a man, his appearance seemed to overwhelm all the women present. Even the 'Monster Princess' Rimuru must have grown up.
Only later can we compare with him.
Platinum Sword King, Leon, a former human hero and now the youngest demon king.
He looked around and walked straight to Rimuru. The two had some resentment and grudges because of the summoner Izawa Shizue, but Leon didn't seem to have such thoughts and calmly responded to Rimuru's dissatisfaction, even saying
He accepted the invitation and invited Rimuru, who he was interested in, to be his guest.
Then he looked at Ji Xing and said, "Have you obtained the 'Egg of the Brave'?"
The egg of the hero is equivalent to the demon king species. As long as you obtain this thing, you are equivalent to becoming a hero. You can become a hero by contracting with an elf with light or dark attributes.
Ji Xing shook his head: "No."
"There is no best." He came late and didn't hear the previous conversation, but he seemed to know Ji Xing's identity better, saying: "The fate of the brave and the devil are always entangled. If you don't have a destiny that you must bear, don't become a brave.
."
"Oh! Little Leon looks like a senior now!" Ramiris immediately exclaimed: "But Ji Xing is under the care of Lady Ramiris, so you don't need to remind me!"
Leon ignored her and returned to his seat.
So far, apart from Carion, whose whereabouts are unknown, only Clayman and Milim are still missing.
The time and seating of the appearance seems to be somewhat particular, except for the newcomers. Starting from the veteran Demon King, headed by Jin, they will appear one by one from left to right, but there are also new Demon Kings like Leon who can defeat the upper level and appear earlier than Clayman.
Next, it’s finally the turn of the ‘protagonists’, Clayman and Milim!
Clayman walked in front with a self-satisfied and somewhat nervous smile, and Milim followed closely behind him, his eyes dull, like a doll that had lost its soul.
Seeing this scene, Rimuru immediately gritted her teeth anxiously, and what happened next moment made her almost unable to hold back.
Clayman suddenly stopped, slapped Milim on the face, and cursed: "Walk faster! You imbecile! Really, you are so slow. Hurry up and sit down in your seat!"
He was arrogant, but Milim, who was staggered by him, didn't say a word and sat back in her seat obediently.
The demon kings had different reactions to this, and Qiyi sighed helplessly in his heart. Even if they were demons who played with people's hearts, he really couldn't understand the thoughts of those guys with abnormal brain circuits.
Well, this is not just about Milim.
Rimuru suppressed his anger and secretly said in his heart that he must kill Clayman, no matter what!
At this point, the entrance ceremony took an hour, and everyone finally arrived.
Eleven people were seated on the 12 chairs, and only the one directly opposite Qi was unoccupied.
A maid named Rhine who followed Guy introduced everyone in a cold tone, including Rimuru, one of the subjects of the meeting who pretended to be the Demon King, and the new Demon King Shyvana.
Afterwards, Clayman stood up as the initiator of the feast: "Well, I would like to thank you all for being invited to attend today. Let's get started and hold our feast! I hereby announce that the Demon King's Feast has officially begun!"
It's begun! Rimuru looked serious.
She knew that Clayman would next launch a series of issues against the Demon Kingdom Federation, inciting all the demon kings to jointly attack, and ultimately use Milim, who was controlled by his tricks, to decide the outcome.
She also prepared various pieces of 'evidence' accordingly, leaving Clayman speechless.
Sure enough, Clayman had no intention of sitting down after standing up. He seemed to have taken over the Demon King's feast and delivered his speech with a satisfied smile: "Let's move on to our agenda, everyone.
You should all know the content of the issue I raised - Demon King Karion betrayed us, violated the covenant we made, invaded the Jura Forest, and instigated a mere slime to call himself the Demon King, insulting the Demon King's
Title! Now at Ramiris’ suggestion, this slime is here!”
Here it comes! Rimuru concentrated, while Shion behind him showed a bit of anger.
But I heard Clayman say: "You can dispose of it anytime you want, but before that, we have to get rid of the guys who shouldn't exist!"
"...Huh?"
Rimuru was almost shaken. It was like a gangster holding a pistol, aiming at her, pulling the trigger, but at the last second, he suddenly turned the gun.
It shouldn’t even exist? Who?
"That's the Flame Dragon King who was invited to participate, Shyvana! And her master, the human, Ji Xing!" Clayman said loudly.
Rimuru was shocked, he went after Ji Xing?!
The demon kings all have long lifespans, and they didn't react much when they heard this. Only two of them frowned slightly, Fleur had a strange expression, and Milim's mouth twitched slightly.
'Hey, Clayman, go as planned!'
She frantically 'prayed' in her heart, but of course Clayman couldn't hear it. He stared at Ji Xing and said, "Stop pretending, hehe, 'Wild Skill Merchant', the Flame Dragon Shyvana is just a monster you named, right?!"
With her racial superiority, she may indeed have demon king-level power, but you are so audacious that you dare to let her sneak into the ranks of our demon kings openly?!"
The more he spoke, the more passionate and angrier he became: "We are demon kings, everyone! Who is she? A human subordinate, even a mount! If she is allowed to mix into our ranks, what is she?!"
He looked like I don't know if you can bear it, but I can't bear it, and tried hard to incite the anger of the demon kings: "What's more, this human being has ulterior motives and hides terrifying delusions!
Everyone, please forgive me in advance. Although the rules of the Demon King's Feast are that you can only bring two followers, this time I brought two more people, two humans.
But they are not my followers, they are just witnesses, evidence of guilt! Please allow me to bring them up to prove this human being’s despicable delusion!”
Without waiting for the other demon kings to express their opinions, Clayman, who felt he had control of the situation, clapped his hands, and at the entrance of the banquet hall, a man and a woman wearing standard adventurer clothes walked in.
Their expressions were timid and evasive, as if they were suppressed by the aura of the demon kings. They walked very slowly. When their eyes accidentally crossed with Ji Xing's, they turned to the other side guiltily.
Rimuru had a bad premonition and turned to look at Ji Xing. Ji Xing gave her a smile, so Rimuru turned his head inexplicably.
"Obviously, these are two human adventurers." Clayman walked over and said, "No need for introduction. Everyone just needs to know that they are people whose skills were 'sold' by Ji Xing. So, let's talk
Tell me, Ji Xing, what is the real price for the skills the skill merchant sells to you?"
The two adventurers murmured for a moment before the man said hoarsely: "The apparent price is only a donation to some 'welfare institution' after one year, whether it's an orphanage or a nursing home, but in reality, in fact..."
The female adventurer took over the words: "Actually, that's just a superficial disguise! He needs us to grow. At the appropriate time, all those who have obtained the skills will listen to his orders, exterminate all demon kings, and let humans control the world!"
"...Hmm." The male adventurer also seemed to have made up his mind and said, "We overestimated our capabilities and thought we could become a legendary hero with him. It wasn't until we saw the power of Lord Clayman that we realized that we had overestimated our capabilities and realized that we were overestimating our capabilities.
Repent!”
"Did you hear that? Everyone." Clayman smiled proudly: "What about you, skill merchant, you have nothing to defend, right? You have no chance to defend yourself! I propose that this human and his mount Shiva be executed on the spot.
Na!"
Huh? Ramiris blinked in shock, wondering why it suddenly turned into this situation? Ji Xing sells his skills to kill all the demon kings? Count me in? Something is wrong...
Milim's little face was already elongated, Fleur looked at her nose and nose and her heart to hold back her smile, while the other demon kings felt that the atmosphere was strange and did not move.
Rimuru was worried: 'Hey, it seems that these two people are also threatened? But this means that Clayman has already prepared, isn't he going to attack me? Why would he target Ji Xing?
Wait! Is this all a conspiracy, including declaring war and threatening me, just to lure Ji Xing over? Oops, I fell into the trap and implicated Ji Xing!'
King of Wisdom: "..."
No! You can't follow Clayman's rhythm! Just when Rimuru was about to stand up to refute, he suddenly heard Ji Xing say: "Well... Demon King Clayman, can you let my matter go first? Let's go first.
Can we proceed with the preset topic and discuss Rimuru’s arrogant claim to be king?”
Rimuru: "...???"
No, I'm worried about you here, and you just blame it on me? Forget it...
"Sorry, no!"
Clayman interrupted with a cold snort and looked around. He seemed not satisfied with the reaction of the demon kings. It seemed that these guys still didn't understand who had the right to speak.
"Milim!" he ordered in a low voice: "Go and kill this human and his mount!"
"etc……"
Bang!
Milim, who slapped the table and stood up, interrupted Rimuru's words again. Just when Rimuru was shocked, he heard Milim complain: "Really, Clayman! Why didn't you go as planned?!
"
"..."
There was silence for two seconds.
Clayman: "...Huh?"
"I'm so annoyed. I finally performed so flawlessly. I obviously want to play with Rimuru for a while, but how can I do it if you drag Ji Xing along?"
"Actually, it's okay." Ji Xing said with a smile, "Let's just play and let them fight."
Milim was startled and said in frustration: "Yeah, I didn't react right away. Hey... everyone, can you lose your memory for 10 seconds?"
She slowly sat down, her expression became dull again, and then she slapped the table and stood up, as if it was happening all over again, staring at Ji Xing and Shyvana fiercely, as if she was going to kill you.
Demon Kings: "..."
Clayman: "...?"
Rimuru: "Wait, wait?"
She didn't understand a little, but she understood a little.
"What...are you doing?!"
