Chapter 937: Turning the Gun (7k)
Perhaps to match the title of Demon King, the time of the Demon King Feast was set at midnight.
The war between the Demon Federation and Clayman's side kicked off earlier. Led by Rimuru's trusted general Benimaru, the cadres launched an attack on Clayman's territory.
Rimuru, Ji Xing, Ramiris and others were waiting for the "Guide" to pick them up to the venue, and chat with Veldora about the current situation of the top ten demon kings.
In this way, time came to the agreed date little by little, and everyone caught the distorted fluctuations of space, and a door appeared in front of them.
This was a deliberate show, so the shape of this door is very complicated and unique, like a passage to hell, and from the door, a green-haired beauty in a maid outfit walked out.
"I'm here to pick you up, Lord Ramiris." She greeted Ramiris first, then turned her eyes to other people, and finally locked on Shivana and Rimuru.
"Are these the two you mentioned? If you don't mind, please come with us."
Of course the two didn't mind, they didn't know the way themselves. Rimuru could feel that this guide was a high-level demon like Diablo, but seeing that Ramiris had already happily flown into the passage, he had no time to explore, and hurriedly nodded to Ji Xing and followed into the passage.
Ji Xing and Shivana followed.
Passing through the luxurious door, they went straight to the venue. The decoration of the venue was relatively simple, with only an extremely large round table.
Around the round table, there were twelve chairs arranged at equal intervals, which were very well thought out. Even if the currently "missing" Karion, plus Rimuru and Shivana, the two "new demon kings" introduced by Ramiris, were added, there was enough space.
Before them, only a charming and charming red-haired man arrived at the venue, sitting casually opposite, as if he was resting with his eyes closed.
From his body, only the magic fluctuations equivalent to that before Karion awakened were emitted. It looked ordinary, but no one dared to underestimate him, because he was the original red Guy Kulimthorne among the original seven demons, the oldest demon king, the mediator of the world, and the existence that had fought with Milim for seven days and seven nights without a clear winner.
Ramiris, who entered the venue first, had already sat on the chair next to him, throwing her two short legs in front of her, and happily asked for credit like a child: "Guy, Guy! Our demon king team has grown! Look, Rimuru and Shivana are all powerful demon kings I introduced. Well, they will also be my subordinates who will obey my arrangements in the future!"
Guy opened his eyes and saw Ramiris waving her little fists in a great manner. He did not make any comments, but just smiled and shifted his gaze.
'Oh? Have they all awakened? '
Forget about the Flame Dragon Clan, but can the Slime become an awakened demon king? He was a little surprised, thinking that it seemed that Clayman would be the one who would be "eliminated" this time. No, even if the slime had not awakened, Clayman had already been determined to fall behind since he felt that he controlled Milim.
Unique skills cannot surpass ultimate skills, and even he cannot control Milim who has ultimate skills, so he just treats it as a farce.
As a world mediator, his goal is to maintain the balance of this world and prevent it from being destroyed. The Demon King Feast is an event he organized to fight against certain guys. Excluding the weak unawakened Demon King Clayman, and being able to add two awakened Demon Kings, this kind of thing really makes him feel good.
But...
"Human?" He turned his eyes to Ji Xing.
"Hello, I'm Ji Xing." Ji Xing smiled and greeted him: "Because I'm a little curious about the Demon King Feast, I came here as Shyvana's follower to take a look. I hope you don't mind."
Every Demon King can bring two followers to the Demon King 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 a servant of Shyvana, but he was treating the demon kings as fools.
Although there was no precedent, there was no clause that prohibited humans from attending the Demon King's Banquet. Qi Yi did not care about this matter, but just said: "You said your name is Ji Xing? I seem to have heard of this name, a wild skill merchant?"
"Yes, that's right."
Oh, so this awakened flame dragon... is his subordinate? Qi Yi murmured in his heart, a little surprised, "I have heard a lot about you, and I was looking for you. After the Demon King's Banquet, you stay for a while, and we can talk alone."
"Okay." Ji Xing agreed.
Rimuru, who was led to his seat by the demon Misali, looked at Ji Xing with some worry. She hoped that Ji Xing could come to give her confidence, but she was worried that Ji Xing would cause unnecessary trouble by attending the Demon King's Banquet, because the demon kings targeted him because of his human identity. This kind of thing has been mentioned several times before.
Is it true now? As soon as she arrived, she was targeted by the most troublesome guy. She stayed alone after the Demon King’s feast. It sounded like that...
Don’t leave after school?
The strange metaphor in her mind made her feel a little funny, so she was a little less nervous and focused on observing another demon king who arrived.
He didn’t bring anyone else with him. He was alone, but his aura shocked the whole audience. He was so tall and strong that he was full of oppression just by walking.
The giant demon king, Dagril!
This man didn’t restrain his own magic fluctuations like Guy did. The amount of magic was so huge that Rimuru felt that if he was 1, the other party had 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 not weak. However, after Rimuru analyzed it through the King of Wisdom, he discovered that behind Valentine was a beautiful girl maid with bright silver hair. Has 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 this way, 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. Not even a handsome high school student with dark purple mixed with silver hair and a face could save his laziness.
The Demon King ‘Sleeping Dominator’, Dino.
He didn't seem to be interested in the newcomers. Unlike the first two demon kings who arrived, he looked at Rimuru and Shyvana, and walked to Ramiris to say hello.
"Good morning, you're still as miniscule as ever."
"Hmph." If it were in the past, Ramiris would probably have been 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 up to eye level with Dino, saying: "Dino, you messed 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, 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 hands on her hips. Although some parts were still as ordinary as before, the current Ramiris had changed from 30 Centimeters turned into an adult figure!
"You, you restored it? No, count the time, it's only been a few decades since I 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 speed 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 human skills, but also give individual skills to all living things? Isn’t Ramiris’s skill similar to increasing emotional excitement?
Interesting...hopefully no side effects.
His eyes rolled slightly. He felt guilty that Ramiris had become like this because she prevented him from fighting Milim. He had always 'doted' on her, but he didn't 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 my ‘anger’ in advance. From today on, no one will dare to underestimate or resist Lady Ramiris! Then... let's start by conquering Dino as my subordinate!
But at this moment, Dino sat up with a distressed look on his face and stretched out his palm to Ramiris.
Still dare to resist? !
Ramiris snorted disdainfully and wanted to slap the hand away, but found that the palm was rapidly enlarging in front of her eyes. No, am I getting smaller? !
"No...wait!"
The smaller Ramiris was pinched by Dino's slap. She fluttered desperately but could not escape. She said angrily: "Damn it... Ji Xing, the duration of your skills is too short!"
Hey, Ramiris, don’t focus on us! Rimuru was anxious, but Ji Xing, who was standing behind Shyvana, smiled indifferently: "Skills have limits, and I have specially made improvements. As long as you continue to fight, you can continue to accumulate anger and maintain the enlarged state. But the sacrifice is your recovery speed during the truce. Do you want to change it to last 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 her seat with a stern look on her face and shrugged her nose. Suffering the unthinkable 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 showed realization, and said in a low voice: "I was wondering before, why the follower brought by the newcomer is a human being, and are you the 'wild skills merchant'?"
"Yes." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Demon kings and their trusted subordinates, if you want to buy skills, please feel free to contact me. There are many varieties, good quality and low price, and large quantities are preferred. At present, the buyer load limit of the demon king level is reached, but I can still afford to sell ten or eight A-level and B-level skills. First come first served."
"..."
How many years have I not heard human sales pitches? The demon kings said to themselves, but this human seemed to have some scheming, and at the same time revealed the shortcomings of his own skills? No, it is reasonable to have limits to things like giving skills.
'Hey, Mr. Raphael, this is the so-called... social terrorist, right? ! ' Rimuru couldn't help asking the King of Wisdom in his heart.
King of Wisdom: "Tell me. Confidence in one's own strength can bring more confidence. 》
'Um... 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 explain for him, he is that kind of person! ’
《……》
The slightly weird atmosphere was interrupted by a gentle voice: "Oh, this feast seems to be particularly lively."
At the same time, a fragrant body fragrance made Rimuru a little intoxicated. She turned her head and shouted in her heart: 'Is this the Queen of the Sky, Frey? This figure and appearance... No, Shion's mood is a little wrong. Did she keenly discover that I was being seduced? Hey, wait...'
"Frey, are you awakened?" Valentine asked with some surprise: "I haven't heard of any large-scale killing of humans recently... Except for the Farmus army killed by the resurrected evil dragon."
"It has nothing to do with that, it's just luck." Frey calmly returned to her seat and said: "Speaking of which, you old demon kings are really good at hiding. I used to think that I was not talented enough and my foundation was not enough. There is actually such a thing as awakening?"
This only resulted in two low hums. She is not our relative or ally, why should we remind you? And the fact that Frey came and became an awakened demon king also shifted the attention from Ji Xing.
It is worth mentioning that this time, Carion did not follow Frey in a simple disguise like in the original work. He had just awakened and could not control his demonic energy well. Although Clayman acted stupid enough, he could not be completely regarded as a fool.
Following closely was a beautiful blond man. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was beautiful. Although he was a man, his appearance seemed to suppress all the women present. Even the "Monster Princess" Rimuru would have to grow up to compare with him.
Platinum Sword King, Leon, the former human hero, is now the youngest demon king.
He looked around and walked straight to Rimuru. The two had some grudges and grievances because of the summoner Izawa Shizue, but Leon did not seem to have such thoughts. He calmly responded to Rimuru's dissatisfaction and even extended an invitation to invite the Rimuru he was interested in to visit.
Then he looked at Ji Xing and said, "Have you obtained the 'Brave Egg'?"
The Brave Egg is equivalent to the Demon King Seed. Once you obtain this thing, you are qualified to become a Brave. You can become a Brave by contracting a Light or Dark Spirit.
Ji Xing shook his head: "No."
"It's best if you don't have it." He came late and didn't hear the previous conversation, but he seemed to know Ji Xing's identity better. He said, "The fate of the Brave and the Demon King is always entangled. If you don't have a fate that you must bear, don't become a Brave."
"Oh! Little Leon is like a senior now!" Ramiris immediately said, "But Ji Xing is taken care of by Ramiris-sama, so you don't need to remind him!"
Leon ignored her and returned to his seat.
So far, apart from Karion, whose whereabouts are unknown, only Clayman and Milim have not come.
The time and seats for the appearances seemed to be somewhat particular. Except for the newcomers, they started with the old demon kings, headed by Jin, and appeared in order from left to right. However, there were also new demon kings like Leon who were "overthrown" and appeared earlier than Clayman.
Then it was finally the turn of the "protagonists", Clayman and Milim!
Clayman walked in front with a smug and somewhat neurotic smile, and Milim followed closely behind him, with dull eyes, like a puppet without a soul.
Seeing this scene, Rimuru immediately gritted his teeth anxiously, and what happened the next moment almost made her unable to hold back.
Clayman suddenly stopped and slapped Milim in the face, cursing: "Hurry up! Idiot! Really, you are so slow, hurry up and sit down!"
He was arrogant, but Milim, who staggered after being hit by him, did not say a word and sat back in her seat obediently.
The demon kings had different reactions to this, and Guy 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 said in his heart that he must kill Clayman, no matter what!
So far, the entrance ceremony took an hour, and everyone was finally present.
Eleven of the 12 chairs were seated, and only the one directly opposite Guy was unoccupied.
A maid named Rhine who followed Guy introduced everyone in a cold tone, including one of the topics of the meeting - Rimuru who claimed to be a demon king, and the new demon king Shivana.
Afterwards, Clayman stood up as the initiator of the feast: "Well, I am grateful to everyone for being invited to attend today. Then let's get started and hold our feast! I hereby announce that the Demon King's Feast has officially begun!"
here we go! 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 topic 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! "
coming! 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 knocked over. It was like a gangster holding a pistol, aiming at her, pulling the trigger, but in the last 0.1 seconds, he suddenly turned the gun.
Shouldn't it 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 to 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 our demon king’s ranks!”
The more he spoke, the more passionate and angry 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 entourage, they are just witnesses and evidence of guilt! Please allow me to invite them up to prove this despicable human 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 looked to the other side guiltily.
Rimuru had a bad premonition and looked back at Ji Xing. Ji Xing gave her a smile, so Rimuru turned back 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 skill merchants to sell you?”
The two adventurers murmured for a moment before the man said hoarsely: "The apparent price is only a donation to certain 'welfare institutions' after one year, such as orphanages and nursing homes, but in fact, in reality..."
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 obey his orders, exterminate all demon kings, and let humans control the world!"
"...Yeah." 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 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!”
Why? Ramiris blinked in shock, wondering why this situation suddenly happened? Is Ji Xing selling his skills to kill all the demon kings? Count me in? Something's wrong...
Milim's little face was already elongated, Fleur looked at her nose and nose and her heart to hold back her smile. The other demon kings felt that the atmosphere was strange and did not move.
Rimuru was worried: 'Hey, do you think these two people are also threatened? But this means that Clayman has already prepared, isn't he going to attack me? Why target Ji Xing?
etc! Could it be that this was all a conspiracy, including declaring war and threatening me, just to lure Ji Xing over? Oops, I fell into the trap and got Ji Xing in trouble! ’
King of Wisdom: "..."
No! We can't follow Clayman's rhythm! Just when Rimuru was about to stand up and refute, he suddenly heard Ji Xing speak: "Well, that... Clayman Demon King, can I put my matter aside for now? Let's discuss the preset topic and discuss Rimuru's self-proclaimed king, okay?"
Rimuru: "...???"
No, I'm worried about you here, and you just push the matter onto me? Forget it...
"I'm sorry, no!"
Clayman interrupted with a cold snort, looking around, he seemed not satisfied with the reaction of the demon kings, it seems that these guys don't understand who has the right to speak.
"Milim!" He ordered in a low voice: "Go kill this human and his mount!"
"Wait..."
Bang!
Milim, who stood up and slammed the table, interrupted Rimuru again. Just when Rimuru was shocked, he heard Milim complaining: "Really, Clayman! Why don't you follow the plan?!"
"..."
The whole audience was silent for two seconds.
Clayman: “…Ah?”
“I’m so annoyed. I finally performed perfectly. I wanted to play with Rimuru, but how can I play with Ji Xing?”
“It’s okay.” Ji Xing smiled and said, “Let’s play and let them fight.”
Milim was stunned and said in frustration, “Yeah, I didn’t react all of a sudden. Ahem…everyone, can you lose your memory for 10 seconds?”
She sat down slowly, her expression became dull again, and then she stood up with a slap on the table, as if the past was replaying, staring at Ji Xing and Shivana fiercely, as if I was going to kill you.
Demons: “…”
Clayman: “…?”
Rimuru: “Wait, wait?”
She didn’t understand, but she understood.
“What…are you doing?!”
