Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken novel Chapter 82

Clayman found the situation unfathomable, his eyes became bloodshot.

His gaze swiftly alternated between Millim and us.

And, when he turned his gaze onto the other Demon Lords, He became petrified.

It seemed he had realized, that he had confessed about controlling Milim.

Though it's just an act of Milim. The tables had turned, it was Clayman who was actually being manipulated.

Clayman became flustered and began to slowly back away.

ŒPreposterous...Demon Marionette should have been succeeded completely!

Why are you not under the control of the Incantation? This can't be happening!

He blurted out bewildered muttering.

The situation was untenable.

The cat was already out of the bag. He could no longer make any excuses. There is only one way left for him.

The Demon Lords already knew Clayman had tried to manipulate Milim. How each Demon Lord would interpret this varied.

However, the verdict for the perpetrator of such heinous actions had already been decided.

Although there was a non-aggression pact between the Demon Lords, it didn't encompass instigating a fight.

In the end, Clayman had lost his trustworthiness.

His demise was imminent. How pitiful.

But, the other Demon Lords did not get a chance to give Clayman a complementary one-way ticket to the deepest recesses of oblivion.

ŒYea, It was quite hard acting!

You know, the magic you used was completely ineffective.

For the magic to even begin to take effect, I had to lower the multiple barriers that perpetually surround my body.

Then I needed to forcibly lower my resistances to your magic.

Then I needed to act perfectly to make you believe I was under your incantation.

You are cautious, so, I had to make you feel like you had absolute control over me.

Just like that! I tried my best to fool you, you know?

ŒWh...What the...? It was an act? I... It was a deliberate act?

The Demon Marionette should have dominated everyone, even a Demon Lord!

This is an Ultimate Incantation!!!

ŒIs that so? But, it was impossible to dominate me you know.

You see, my specialty is to dispel things like this!

Milim proudly proclaimed, while puffing out her chest.

The other females in the room could only glare at her and sigh.

ŒHowever, I began to worry when Clayman hit Milim before.

I had no worry in the successfulness of Millm's plan. However, I was worrying my house would be left in rubble.

Really, I'm glad you could endure it.(ED: the definition of scum is literally a picture of Clayturd's face when you look it up the dictionary)

The Harpy, Demon Lord Frey, spoke while spreading out her wings.

Not only hitting her this time, he had also hit her before? (Ed: really scum.)

What a guy. Does he have a death wish?

ŒUmmm... I'm also an adult. Adults can endure these sorts of things.

Although there was an emphasis on her being an adult, she still held the aura of being a child.

ŒWhich part? Well, it's fine.

At any rate, why did you try to fool Clayman?

ŒMmmm..? You know, I remembered that Clayman was making some highly suspicious propositions.

Like his plan to attack Tempest City with a human army to make humans and monsters go to war.

Because interesting things would've been lost if this were to occur, I decided to put an end to his conspiracy!

ŒReally? You... just did it by yourself....

ŒFuwahahahaha! Like I said, I'm an adult!

ŒYes, yes, You are an adult.

But, Clayman, You! You arrogant fool.

I don't think you have the qualification to call yourself a Demon Lord.

Even though I didn't interfere, because Milim had to endure serving under you... I'm also a little angry.

Frey said in tranquil fury.

ŒSo that's it... I also have a lot to say, my town also got vaporized.

So, Clayman, I'm going to get you!

Demon Lord Karion declared, while splendidly dumping Milim's responsibility on Clayman.

It seems like Clayman provoked anger from the other Demon Lords.

However, the most infuriated individual was myself.

To Milim, who was doing her best for me and the other's sake, I was really happy.

She even got hit by that low-life....(ED: scum... just scum.)

It's decided, your chance to die in peace is gone. Prepare to be purged and beg for your death.

ŒI ask for your forgiveness. But this guy is my opponent. Because I call myself a Demon Lord, I will prepare my seat by myself.

I will use this person as a ticket for all of you to recognize my admission for being a Demon Lord.

I exclaimed, as if Clayman were just a tool to achieve my goals, so it can't be helped.

Well... My real intention was to check how strong I am.

Only Milim smiled happily.

Even if I didn't say it, my anger was transmitted to the others.

Clayman, have you regained your composure while hearing our conversation?

ŒKukuku. Is that so? Just like that? It brings tear to my eyes, to spy for your friend's sake.

Wahahahahahahaha. This is truly a joyous occasion.

That feared tyrant Milim, is now a gopher for someone else?

Why should I be afraid of this person? What a joke.

That's fine. Although it is a bit early, allow me to use my trump card!

So he said, while taking out a jewel of various colors from his pocket.

I feel spirit power from that jewel... that level of energy is equal to around 10,000 human souls....

"..."§"..."§"...

Flash!

Upon the light beginning to dim, the person who stood there had been transformed into a being that's very different from before.

The hair of the being emanated spiritual energy; a trail of dazzling multicolored light was left in its wake. The length of the hair had also greatly increased.

All The clothes on his upper body were torn in multiple places revealing colossal amounts of muscle lying beneath it.

His eyes were tinged with a rainbow hue as he glared around the room.

That being emitted holy power on a level that could rival the Giant Demon Lord Dagruel.

Clayman forced an artificial Demon Lord evolution using that stone as a catalyst.

By absorbing energy from the Spirit Jewel; he forcibly awakened himself as a Demon Lord.

However, because the used energy attribute was different from his own, he evolved into an uncompleted state, a Variant Demon Lord.

But, because he didn't need to wait the blessing of the harvest festival to occur, he would be able Utilize his full power immediately.

(POV change to Clayman)

The body, that was just undergone evolution, was still weak.

But my Unique Skill ŽPuppeteer, show signs of evolving after receiving the energy; a truly devastating power.

Indeed, by gaining this power, I no longer feel inferior to that being over there.

No, I understand.

I am not a True Demon Lord, after all, this is only an imitation of it.

This is power!

This is an awakening!

And, this is the strength of a Demon Lord!

In response to the energy ball that I shot as a test, Demon Lord Karion is thrown to the back.

Frey is the same. To defend against that, it was impossible.

Just like what I expected, Milim didn't even flinch. What an annoying brat.

But, it's still difficult to win against them even if I was awakened a long time ago.

The Demon Lords who survived through at least three Great War.

Apart from that cheeky fairy; Guy, Milim and Dagruel are particularly troublesome.

I can handle the newcomer Demon Lords but these three people are bad news.

As usual, I can always calmly judge the situation.

By blowing away 2 Demon Lords, I can quickly confirm the situation.

It's irritating that the slime and his companion in the back are safe, but first, I need to withdraw to reorganize.

If it's necessary, I'll crush them one by one.

I need to report to ˜That Person' who gave me this jewel, to consult about the plan for future actions.

In that case, the plan has been decided.

By firing Demon Lord Destruction Cannon (Demon Blaster) at maximum output, it's possible touse it to create an opening for an escape.

The one who I should be wary of is Guy, but that person didn't show any interest in this matter.

It's all right. It's possible to escape. That's the judgment I made.

While thinking about these things, I released the Demon Blaster.

It was a destructive power that could eradicate even a Demon Lord. The accumulated energy became a disruption ray, which can cause destruction of one's magic power array inside the victim's body.

Physical defense would be useless, even a barrier that utilizes magic power would be destroyed against this ultimate magic attack.

If concentrated against an individual, someone who can withstand this doesn't exist.

This time, because I fire it for a wide area, there might be some survivor but there is no time for leisure.

I laughed at the power of the Demon Lord Destruction Cannon (Demon Blaster) I fired which drastically powered up more than I ever imagined by the evolution.

The Demon Blaster filled the surroundings with light, dyeing the vicinity with rainbow....."..."§"..."§"...

When the flash calms down, Clayman was flustered with a dumbfounded expression on his face, did he finally realized that the jewel in his hand had been stolen?(ED: alt tl:When the flash calms down, Clayman was flustered with a dumbfounded expression on his face, did he finally realized that the jewel that I hold in my hand is the one I stole from him?)

It seems, I was right in believing the simulated scene displayed by Raphael's future prediction.

Using thought transmission to display the scene directly into the mind, it could depictthe scene that's convincingly real.

I looked at the Jewel in my hand, and then secretly put it to my pocket. (ED: 懐«—¾„è¾¼‚‚ Can also meant put it into the bosom or pocket, which I assume by bosom meant he absorbed it to his body)

I'm not stealing.

Because Clayman was raising his hand when he invoked the Jewel, I instantly ate his raised hand.

Surely, I obtained a nice item. This might be very useful for research later.

If Clayman managed to use this Jewel, then the outcome would be just like what Raphael's future prediction had shown.

Short of completely crush him, the other way to break his spirit is by sealing his trump card.

So there is no way that I stole the jewel because I desired to possess it, but because of other reasoning.

To begin with, Clayman was underestimating me.

Thought acceleration can increase perception by 1 million times, it will be as if time have stood still, but at the same time it's still possible to invoke magic in the mind.

In other word, even if the magic need a long time to invoke it, I'll still be able to set multiple spell simultaneously.

In this state, it was stupid to let the enemy evolve.

However, if that happens it would probably become a mess........

The Demon Lords had recovered from the flash bang that I shot beforehand.

Because I don't want to show my own card too much, I trick them by using light. However, it seems to me that it might have been seen by several people.

It can't be helped. The opponent is way too strong. (ED: can be read as ˜too high leveled')

As much as possible I don't want to reveal my cards in battle, but I can't prevent it from being predicted by a bit.

If Wisdom Lord Raphael can do it, then I need to think that the opponent can also do it.

I can't find a clear solution for this; more or less it can't be helped, so I call out to Clayman.

ŒOi, if you want to use your trump card, do it quickly. I'll wait for you.

Don't tell me, your plan was to escape using that light just now?

I started to corner him.

I'm a bad person. Oh well, I'm not a person but Slime, you had problem with it?

ŒWh, What? What just happened.....?

Clayman can't hide his trembling.

His trump card was stolen instantly, so it seems he couldn't grasp the current situation.

So, what you going to do next? You had already been checkmated.

The future of the person with your level of ability that hostile towards me has been decided.

It's really important to ascertain my ability with the opponent ability.

For me now, I need to thrash this scum while deceiving the eyes of the other Demon Lords.
