Chapter 169: Chapter 46 Walpurgis
Do you know that feeling? You see something, something that just makes you lose all hope for a person, a sight that causes that little voice of reason in the back of your head to shrug and say "it's okay, you're in the right here, now rip them to shreds." You know that feeling?
Well, I'm currently feeling exactly that except for one key difference, that little annoying voice that usually isn't ok with killing and torturing others, well, I don't have that little voice any more. So I'm sure you can imagine that things aren't going ended well for the person in qeustion who just did something very fucking stupid.
=========A few minutes before=========
"Misery!" The little blonde haired fairy yelled in delight.
The green haired woman who had just showed up hummed calmly and responded with a slight bow. "Hello lady Ramiris."
I, Rimuru and Ramiris as well as our tagalongs had been waiting for a while before our guide finally arrived, it was even enough time for a quick wardrobe change. Of course my clothes looked mostly the same as before but I had massively improved them, they now had so many enchantments and deadly curses attached to them that attacking me was now basically a death sentence for anyone who wasn't powerful enough to resist them.
(Something about her reminds me of Diablo but it doesn't really matter at the moment.) I thought as I sat up from my seat.
"I suppose that would make you two, lord Rimuru and Lady Suu." The now identified Misery said as she turned to us.
"That's right." Rimuru confirmed and I nodded.
"Please then, follow me."
And so we did, we followed Misery through the gateway that transported us instantly to a new location. We entered a circular room with a round table in the center that was surrounded by several fancy looking chairs that were all completely identical, well, they were more like thrones but whatever. The room also had several portals similar to the one that we had come through, I was honestly a little curious to see who would come out of which portal.
(So this is it huh...) I thought to myself as I glanced around. (It's much smaller than I expected it to be.)
The thing that really got my attention however was the person who was currently looking at us with mild interest. (And who is this I wonder?)
The person in question was a rather muscular man with long red and spiky hair, thankfully Ramiris and Veldora had somewhat filled us in on the other demon lords beforehand so I could guess who he was relatively easily. (I'm guessing he is Guy Crimson or whatever Veldora said his name was.) The aura he emitted was dangerous, I could tell even without using any of my skills. (He's strong, on par with Milim even...)
(Now to just wait and see what the others are like.) I mused as I lent back in my seat. (I wonder if any of them will be as intimidating as red heads over there.)
After this the waiting began, it wasn't long until more demon lords began to appear one after the other. I also decided against using my skills to check their statuses just in case they noticed what I was doing, no point in accidentally pissing them off if I didn't have too.
The first to show up was a very large and muscular man with dark blue hair, his was Dagruel if my guess was correct and he was a giant. Apparently he fought Veldora a couple of times as well but a victor was never decided on, this fact was enough to prove his strength. As for those with him, well, surprisingly he seemed to have come alone.
The next group however was what caught my eye, they were being led in by a blue haired maid that had a similar presence to Misery. The group of three consisted of what I presumed to be three vampires, a tall blond male in a black robe seemed to be the one in charge of them but...
(He's just a pretender, she's the real one.) I muttered as I glanced at a white haired woman in a maid outfit that was obviously pretending to be the blonde guy's attendant.
The aura she was releasing was strong, far stronger than the blonde guy even. (However, I don't think she is a threat to me at the moment. From what I can tell she's far too weak, she probably doesn't have an ultimate skill at the moment either so trapping her in my Domain Of Horrors probably wouldn't be all that difficult at all for me.)
(I'm guessing that she's demon lord Luminous then, to think that the holy church would be worshiping a demon lord, how very amusing.) I chuckled internally before someone new got my attention, someone who had also come alone.
Ramiris also noticed the newcomer and immediately went to start an argument with the guy. The person in question had silver hair with a streak of purple going through the front of it. He was also wearing a purple top and black pants with a light green cape. Finally, he had a white and gold sword strapped to his waist and the aura he gave off...it was almost like the opposite of Diablo's in some ways.
Considering his lazy demeanor and Ramiris's reaction to his presence, I had to presume that he was Dino. Honestly he was probably one of the demon lords I could see myself getting along with from the little I actually know of him, in fact Kaen would also probably get along with him as well.
I ignored the bickering of the two as I turned my attention elsewhere to the next group that had just arrived, a group that was seemingly being led by a harpy. I immediately assumed the harpy in front wearing mostly red to be their leader, more specifically I believed her to be demon lord Frey. However, my attention was pulled towards someone else, a man with eagle-like wings and a lion for a head.
(Carrion!) I muttered a little surprised, why was he here with Frey? (I thought he'd be imprisoned or in hiding but he's here, why the hell is he here?)
(Something is definitely up, maybe Frey isn't an enemy...but if that is the case then what exactly is going on...) I hummed in thought.
My thoughts were interrupted however when some blonde guy appeared behind us. "So your Rimuru then?"
"Yeah...yeah that's right."
"Hmmm?" I was a little confused but quickly put the pieces together.
(So this is demon lord Leon, the one that dad's been looking for.) Rimuru had told me about how he had gotten his body and the sad story of Shizue a while ago so it wasn't hard for me to figure out what was going on.
The two spoke for a moment, a moment filled with some tension that was mostly coming from the slime boy himself. In the end Leon invited Rimuru to come to his castle at some point, all so that they could sort out their issues there, he even invited me along even though I didn't really have much stake in the whole thing.
"You may come as well if you so wish." He mused with a monotone voice but I ignored him, mostly because something more important was happening.
More people had just arrived and one of them had my full attention. (Milim...) I muttered happily but soon my eyes were pulled to something hanging around her neck. (That necklac-?)
I was cut off when a man with red eyes and wearing all white except for a black bow tie walked up next to her and yelled. "Stop walking so slowly! Move!"
Things seemed to just...just slow down after that, I barely had time to realise that the douchebag in question was Clayman himself before he attempted to do something stupid, very fucking stupid. I could see clearly what he was planning to do and If he thought I'd let him slap Milim across the face, well, he was more retarded than I originally expected him to be.
"Don't. You. Fucking. Dare." I growled under my breath as two skills of mine activated almost on instinct.
It took the bastard a second to understand what had actually just happened to him in the span of only a few seconds. It had all gone down so quickly that he didn't have any time to register it properly, however the pain that he most definitely felt was enough to make him realize what exactly had just occurred. His hand was now missing completely and the blood that should have been pouring out had turned into dozens of razor sharp spikes while still inside his body, basically turning his whole arm into what could be described as an inside out pincushion.
Only a few people however actually saw what happened to his hand, just as Clayman's hand was about to collide with Milim's face something odd happened. In a tiny fraction of a second a black portal opened up swallowing Clayman's hand completely whole like the maw of a hungry predator devouring it with ravenous glee before closing just as quickly leaving the bastard momentarily stunned.
(I am going to make you scream...)
