Chapter 20: Chapter 7 Part 5
- Felix -
"Rimuru-sama!" We both stopped as three Humans approached.
'They are Elves'
Ah I see
It seems they are friendly seeing as how Rimuru isn't preparing for an attack.
Once they approached the female in the lead said, "The odds are pretty low… in fact they might basically be zero… but there is a fairy tail about bringing back the dead!"
Is she talking about Milim's story?
"I see, tell me more Eren." It seems we might just have a plan in the making.
The girl started telling Milim's story.
"Rimuru, we won't have the issue of them coming back with no will, their souls are still here after all."
The chance is low, but as long as the chance is there…
Both Rimuru and I have Seeds, that should increase the odds a bit.
We just need enough souls to begin the Harvest Festival.
I watch as Rimuru comes to the realization of what he will have to do.
He is a pacifist at heart, but also understands reality, this is something that he doesn't want to do, I'm sure of it, but sometimes, the choice is taken out of our hands.
He gets a report saying that more soldiers from Falmuth are arriving.
We quickly gather everyone in the meeting room and come up with a plan to awaken as True Demon Lords.
"What I'm saying is, I'm going to wipe out the entire force that's headed here from Falmuth, including their King and top officers. That should be enough for me to awaken as a Demon Lord. Felix will go after Clayman's forces that are preparing to invade Eurazania. Felix said that he can deal with Clayman's army and Milim so don't worry about that."
Yes, Clayman is weak after all, and Milim should be easy to deal with as long as she isn't actually being controlled, which is the likely scenario. I don't see there being very many if any ways to control Milim, let alone for someone like Clayman to have such a method.
Especially seeing as Milim is an Ultimate Skill wielder making her immune to most mind control effects.
Raiden will stay behind at Tempest in case something happens, she should be able to stall enough for me to get back here.
I still felt like this whole thing was my fault.
Now hopefully, I can fix things.
This was a reality check, for both me and Rimuru.
"Alright! It's time! Let's go!"
Well, it's time to become a Demon Lord.
- Rimuru -
He looked down at the camp of humans.
They are the ones who killed everyone.
They just rest peacefully as his people mourn and cry.
Benimaru and the others can take care of the Holy Field.
Now he just needs to do his piece.
"You're all going to be food for me."
Anti-Magic Area established.
The enemy army is now unable to use magic.
No survivors.
"Now die. Megiddo!"
1788 have died.
1903 have died.
2435 have died.
5362 have died.
He flew down towards the King's tent.
"You must be the Monster Ruler of Tempest."
"You look Japanese, are you an otherworlder?"
"On the outside, but not on the inside."
"Well either way you're an enemy."
He kills him with a Megiddo.
He looked to the side and saw some guards begging for their lives.
Did they spare his people when they didn't want to die?
He didn't think so, he quickly killed them.
Confirmed. Unique Skill: Merciless Acquisition Successful.
A new skill? I see.
He ignored the King and Priest's begging, his words were getting annoying so he cut his arm off.
He will use his new Unique Skill to claim all the souls he needs.
Use Unique Skill: Merciless?
Yes, do it.
- Felix -
I flew towards where I could sense Clayman and his army, the borders of Eurazania.
I suppress my presence to the absolute peak of my current ability.
As I was flying there I contemplated how I should do this.
Should I make it personal, or just wipe them all out at once.
No, it was best to do this quickly.
One Hollow Purple should be enough to wipe out Clayman, and his camp, and if there are barriers up Hollow Purple will just shred through them.
I guess it's time to finally act like a real Daemon, to kill everything indiscriminately.
'Odin, how many monsters are in the camp?'
'There are thirty three thousand four hundred and two demi-humans and majin.'
I see.
'It has been detected that there is one being under the same spell as individual known as Mjurran.'
So one is being controlled huh?
Might as well save whoever it is being controlled, though I am somewhat surprised that only one is being controlled.
The rest willingly joined Clayman then huh?
They can die along with him then.
I use my mastery over Spatial Manipulation to teleport the one being controlled to me, which seems to be a fox of some sort. I quickly knock the fox unconscious and store it in my Stomach.
A three tailed fox huh?
The mind control should fade once Clayman is dead, and if it doesn't I'm sure Odin can come up with a solution.
I feel Milim, Frey and Carrion off in the distance, it seems like Milim is busy toying with Carrion.
I send Milim a Thought Communication, "Milim, whatever games you are playing stay out of this."
"Felix?!"
I cut off the Thought Communication as I get ready to prepare a Hollow Purple.
'I suggest you end the Hollow Purple once the barrier is down and finish the army off with an overcharged Blue, you could then use the mass from the corpses to create a far superior body for a future subordinate with Birthday'
That's a good idea, maybe I can summon a Daemon and have it inhabit the Deathman body. I will need a good political savvy one, so someone from the white lineage maybe?
I prepare a very precise amount of Magicules, so that the Hollow Purple will end once the barrier is broken.
Thank you Odin, it's easy to measure exactly how much is needed. With your assistance
"Take the amplified and the reversal and smash together those two different infinities to create imaginary mass, Imaginary Technique, Hollow Purple!"
I watch as the Hollow Purple breaks through the barrier surrounding the camp and immediately cancel it.
I then follow up with a Massive Blue
'Just to make sure how many people are left, Odin?'
'Zero Individuals left alive. You have acquired enough souls to begin the Harvest Festival. Verified all conditions have been met, The Harvest Festival will begin momentarily.'
Ah? I feel sleepy all of a sudden.
I lose control of my magicules as I become more and more tired.
That's not good.
I need someone to protect me and take me back to Tempest. I might as well summon that Daemon now.
"First, Birthday."
The clump of mass rearranges itself into a blank looking body, I can feel if I choose to let it, a remnant will would take over this Deathman, they would be at least as strong as that Footman guy, likely even stronger than him.
"Activate Summoning Magic, Demon Summoning. My offering is this Deathman host body, that will mold to fit the user perfectly. Come Daemon, serve me."
I watch as a Daemon appears from the portal. One with white hair, and red eyes.
She was quite powerful too, stronger than an Arch Daemon, but not quite at the level of a Daemon Duke.
"My, such a bountiful offering, what do you desire my summoner? Ara ara how rare, the ascension of a True Demon Lord."
"Become my subordinate and take me north to Tempest, protect me until my Harvest Festival finishes."
"Ara, I wouldn't normally agree to such a request, but seeing the aura radiating off your form is truly something. To think that my summoner would be a Daemon stronger than I, one not even a Primordial at that. The fact that I will also finally have something with which to tease that normally unflappable Noir makes it even better. I agree, I will serve you to the best of my abilities, My Lord." She says with a bow.
I have a feeling that I know just what I summoned, are the last thoughts I have before finally losing consciousness.
- Blanc -
She quickly catches her Lord as he falls unconscious, it wouldn't do for her master to fall to the ground in front of her after all.
She observed the surrounding area. It's as if he created a black hole, yet there are no left over emanations of strong Gravity waves, how curious!
Truly, to think that even she would still be capable of being surprised.
To find a Daemon of Noir's lineage stronger than him!
How amusing.
Truly, she will enjoy teasing him about that.
And the host body she was offered is truly something special, it's more powerful than Blanche's but just as compatible. She will be able to flaunt her victory over Jaune and Violet for Millenia to come.
She looks forward to what this new Lord of hers has in store for her.
Now it wouldn't do to fail the first orders she received now would it?
She used her Universal Sense to pinpoint Tempest's exact location and flew there with her master in her arms.
As she was flying there she was interrupted by a pink haired girl, "Hey! What are you doing with Felix?!"
Felix? Is that her master's name, truly quite the exquisite name, as expected of her master.
"I have been ordered by my master to take him to Tempest."
"Ah? So you are a new servant of his then? I see, umu, let's go, I'll show you the way then."
She knew the way already, but it doesn't hurt to have a guide. It is unlikely she would stand a chance against this Demon Lord anyway.
As she was arriving she noticed a slime arriving.
Oh?
The slime is also undergoing a Harvest Festival. Forget rare this is outright unheard of for two people, likely friends to both be undergoing the Harvest Festival simultaneously.
She was summoned during some truly interesting times it seems. Hopefully they didn't cause enough chaos to have Rouge step in? That would be bothersome.
