Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 38

A wide conference room.

The room were shrouded in silence.

Several shadows of men and women were sitting surrounding the large round meeting table.

A large crystal sphere was nested in the middle of the table.

From the lowest position seat near the entrance of the room, a man was casting some kind of spell towards the sphere.

The man dressed as a clown. His name is Gelmudo

He is the one who was entrusted with this meeting, and also the person responsible for certain project.

The project that he had worked for many years, and that project is to give birth to a new Demon Lord

For the sake of his own ambition, the project must not ended in failure.

And then, it was finally the last day of the project.

He succeeded in inviting the four whimsical "Demon Lord"

It has to succeed at all cost.

It's impossible to make the Demon Lord move with money

You would need things that attract their interest, like a prey or a hard to obtain Magic Tool (Artifacts).

Anyway, it was necessary to pay a very valuable compensation.

This time, Gelmudo succeed in making the four Demon Lord move. In other words, the compensation he paid was enough.

When the time comes for the birth of a new Demon Lord, the other Demon Lord would not stay silent.

If a fool freely calling himself a Demon Lord, he or she would be killed because they invoked the Demon Lord's wrath.Moreover, if there was such person that managed to turn the table against an infuriated Demon Lord.

Such person, if they had the ability,they would be recognized as a Demon Lord.

These past several hundred of years. There was no birth of Demon Lord with such ability.

The last born Demon Lord, the Human "Demon Lord" Leon Cromwell.

With his overwhelming Magical power he increased the number of Majin (Demonic person) that he controlled, he claimed himself as the Demon Lord of the frontier.

One of the Demon Lord, which was furious with him, the Magic King (Curse Lord) had waged war against him. But he was slain by Leon instead.

He was also defeated by Leon's own hands.

In response to the situation, the other Demon Lord recognized him as a new Demon Lord.

But, Demon Lord with such ability was not a common occurrence.

Therefore to claim a stranger as a Demon Lord, it was necessary to get the support of at least three or more Demon Lord. If you messed with the new Demon Lord, the supporting Demon Lord will become opponents at the same time, that is what to be expected.

And following such procedures,for the sake of the birth of the new Demon Lord, Gelmudo become fired up because of his ambition.

This time, to make the Orc Lord as Demon Lord would require one more step.

For the bored Demon Lord, he prepares the stage for the birth of the Demon Lord as a spectacle. It was for them to have fun, which was one of the conditions for the support.

Of course it's not just that, he would also gave them Magic equipment (Magic Item) and Magic tool (Artifacts).

For Gelmudo this was a gamble of a lifetime.

The Orc Lord had to eat the Goblins and Lizardmen, to evolve as Demon Lord.

Today was the day when it will all end.

To become a Demon Lord and getting the support at the same time, one must devastated human city.

In doing so, it will become the news of the birth of a new Demon Lord.

If such things happened, Gelmudo's ambition will be achieved. With manipulating the Orc Lord from the shadow, he would be on equal standing with the other Demon Lords.

And yet....

There was no reaction from the crystal ball.

Gelmudo become impatient.

This is bad.

He doesn't want to imagine what happened if he offends the Demon Lord that were looking forward to the play.

It won't projecting!There's nothing that can be done. At that moment, he wondered if he is going to become a minced meat.

Even, if he's not killed, He might be cursed to become minced meat with only consciousness left.

It's no use. I don't want to imagine it anymore.

Gelmudo hurriedly cast the spell again, but there are still no reaction from the crystal ball. (TL: because his familiar was killed by Souei and co.)

[Hey...., what are you doing?]

A voice colder than ice echoes.

The room turns silent, the intimidation was enough to disturb Gelmudo's spell.

Gelmudo was panicking with sweat leaking all over.

[Ple, Please wait! I will determine the cause right away!]

His instinct was saying, if he left it just like this it would be bad.

However,

Creak!

A sound of something that were creaking as if it was being squashed was heard. But no sooner than that,

Baaaaa~~m !

On the right side of Gelmudo something big flew past by at high speed, it crashed at the rear door with thunderous sound.

One of the Demon Lord, a petite and beautiful silver haired girl, lifted and threw the big round table with her left hand.

It was without any skill.

The desk alone was several percent of state budget of a small country; it was a product of art from carved fragrant wood.

The heavy door in the back was decorated with elaborate decoration, Now it's just a large hole in the building's wall.

You can see it miserably destroyed, such thing happened.

[You...., are you treating me like a fool?]

The girl said.

Gelmudo cannot mutter his words well due to his fear.

[P, p, please forgive me!!! I will immediately confirm the cause myself!!!]

So he spoke.

[Really? Then made it quick. Since I'm generous, I'm going to wait!]

Which part of you are generous! Though he can't even afford the time to think about it.

Gelmudo was trembling in fear, the door was destroyed by the table that flew outside from the now large hole in the wall.

The conference room was on the 3rd floor, but he can't be picky about appearances anymore.

He leaps outside and starts chanting flight movement spell.

His ambition has all scattered away.

What occupied Gelmudo's thoughts now, he doesn't want to die, only that.

He was not making fun of the Demon Lord. It's the truth

But, it had been seen as if he was making fun of them.

Gelmudo prided himself as being a high ranked devil. That's why; he thought he was able to put a good fight against one Demon Lord.

But because there was four here, he worried that it was necessary to depreciate oneself and praise the listener, so he thought.

That's wrong.

Demon Lord is Demon Lord, because of that they were feared. Because he afraid of them, he was not a Demon Lord.

He knows it, he was being too conceited.

To become equal with the Demon Lord, such thing like that were impossible for Gelmudo.

He was able to truly understand it.

Those who can't fathom the Demon Lord, won't be able to speak with Demon Lord.

With speed reaching the speed of sound, Gelmudo flew toward the marshes.

But it was not for sake of his ambition.

But for his survival, he needs to fix the blunder with all his might.

ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’ˆ’

What the... What the hell is going on here?

While flying in the sky, I confirmed the situation of the war on the marshes.

A situation that I can't understand, had happened in front of my eyes

What the hell is happening here!?

Like I'm gonna have any idea!!!

To my own question, I retort it myself.

I wish you can see it.

If seen from the above, a sudden flash was flashing from the corner, the bodies of the Orc soldiers were blown away along with a thunderous roar.

Hmm? When I observed at a certain direction... So Loud! A thunderous sound resounded.

Looking at it, there is a black sphere (Dome) appeared on the battlefield.

It disappears after a few seconds, leaving only the scorched ground.

The Orc soldiers that crowded that place had all been neatly erased.

What the h.....!!!?

I was able to understand the situation in that moment, but I feel my heart refused to admit it.

Not just that, a raging storm appeared suddenly in one corner of the battlefield.

Numerous thunders from the storm struck the Orc soldiers killing and grilled them all.

The orc soldiers clad in black armor on that corner;

Without any resistance they all turn into cinders by the power of the storm.

What the hell is going on? It was his honest thoughts.
