Chapter 20: Milim the victor

The village burned, as some of the victims from Scarlet's attack were either trapped under some rubble, or were injured badly and couldn't move. Shion and the others who were the first to witness Scarlet's terror had passed out from being beaten badly by the Grimm girl, but it now seemed faith lied in the hands of Demon Lord Milim now.

Scarlet didn't waste anytime as she grew her Nevermore wings and Nevermore claws instantly. She flew towards Milim as they both clashed in the air causing a shock wave, to which had shook the village. Milim was taken by surprise that someone could keep up with her Demon Lord strength, but it didn't matter to her. Scarlet was just another enemy she had to take care of. Or else Clayman would cast a spell to use Scarlet as his puppet.

"Kihihihi....ara ara, you're fast." Scarlet said as she snickered as she clashed with Milim more. "I'll be sure to tear you down to bits and devour you."

Milim was silent as she spins in the air and kicks Scarlet in the face, she watched how far she kicked Scarlet as she chased after her. She grips her sword tightly as she swung it at Scarlet, cutting into her.

Once the tip of Milim's sword cut into Scarlet, Scarlet winched as her aura almost broke it flickered a bit but didn't fully break as she growls."Damn you!" Scarlet swung Black Rose at Milim as she managed to slice the horn off of Milim's forehead as she caught the horn and stabbed it into Milim's stomach.

Milim puked up blood as she growled, she cocked her arm back as she punched Scarlet in the face, sending her flying through some mountains that were rather far away. Milim's punch did more damage on Scarlet as the Grimm girls aura flickered more.

Scarlet crashed through the mountains as she skidded across the rocky surface, cutting and bruising her body as her skin scrapped off. Milim flew at fast speed towards Scarlet as she slammed her fist into her gut, she pulled out her horn and stabbed Scarlet in the throat.

Blood spewed from Scarlet's throat as she was foaming at the mouth, her aura was slowly cracking. Milim gave off an ominous and evil aura as she grabbed Scarlet and lifted the Grimm girl up, she glared at her as she smirks. "You won't be living to do what you wish...but first."

Milim reached behind Scarlet and ripped her wings off and tossed them aside, as the Nevermore wings turned into ash. Milim then grabbed Scarlet's Nevermore claws and ripped them off as well, which had also turned into ash. "Now to send you flying cross country!"

Scarlet had blood dripping from her back, and where her Nevermore claws were as she felt Milim's grip on her get tighter. She tried to dig her nails into Milim's arm, but due to her foaming at the mouth and the horn in her throat. It didn't seem to help much, her eyes rolled into the back of her head as Milim snickered and threw Scarlet with quick speed, sending her all the way to the Ulgrasia Republic.

Scarlet crashed into the Ulgrasia Republic as she had skidded on the ground, unconscious the whole time. But managed to cause some damage while unconscious. The citizens noticed this as one of them noticed the shape Scarlet was in, they had no idea what she was nor if she was evil or not. They took a chance and picked her up, carrying her into one of the houses and doctored her up.

Time passed as day's had gone by. Scarlet was still unconscious, even though her aura had flickered from the damage she had received from Milim, the horn in her throat was taken out as she was bandaged up. her clothes were ripped apart as she was covered in bruises and cuts still. Luckily she wasn't completely naked, as the bandages covered some areas on her body.

Rimuru had returned to his village as he noticed what was going on, rushing over the slime noticed Milim in her Demon Lord form. "What happened here?"

"Someone attacked us." Milim said. "They managed to over throw Shion and the others. But I managed to send them away."

Rimuru's eyes widen. "Where is Shion and the rest now?" He glanced around seeing the rubble of the buildings.

Milim turned her head and pointed to the center of the village. "Everyone is laying down over there, those who weren't injured in the attack are tending to them."

"Is anyone dead...please tell me no one is dead." Rimuru said as he walked over.

"Thankfully no." Milim said. "They're still breathing, just a few broken bones.." She seemed puzzled as she didn't get Scarlet's name as she went back to her normal form.

Shion looked over and noticed Rimuru. "Lord Rimuru...we had a whole festival set up fro your return, but it got ruined.."

"All that for me?" Rimuru asked. "Gosh...I didn't know..." He glanced over to Milim as he looked around more. "Did anyone happen to get the person's name that attacked?"

No one answered as silence filled the air, and since no one knew how to draw. They had no details to tell Rimuru, hearing no answers from anyone, Rimuru sighed as he crossed his arms and closed his eyes. "Damn this is going to be harder than I thought...if I were a demon lord I'd be able to give everyone new skills.."

"The offer still remains." Milim said as she looks at him. "I just know I sent this person flying all the way to the Ulgrasia Republic."

"The Republic!" Rimuru asked startled. "Milim, that's where Ramiris is..she needs to know she's in danger and same for the citizens of the republic...what kind of powers did this person have?"

Mililm thinks as she shrugs. "I don't know. I haven't seen much other than her having bird wings and bird feet, and a scythe."

Rimuru rubs his chin as he walked back and forth. "Shion...did you notice anything?"

"She had fire magic." Shion said. "And she had a evil aura on her as well, I didn't pay much mind to anything else. She threatened to eat me though."

"Eat you?" Rimuru asked as he shivered. "What the heck?"

Shion nods a little. "I don't know either, she just threatened to do that."

"You don't think..." Milim said as she looked at Rimuru.

The Ulgrasia Republic was up in flames as the house Scarlet was in was empty, the Grimm girl had awoken from her small coma, she dragged a body across the floor as she tossed the body towards the wall. She stood there soaked in blood from head to toe as she picked up the scent of Ramiris. She followed the scent as it led her to the Labyrinth, the door slowly opened as Scarlet walked through.

The Grimm girl glanced around as she left bloody foot prints behind as she walked down the corridor. A golem blocked her path as it charged at her, Scarlet grins as she jumps over it and sliced it's head off with Black Rose with ease. "I know you're here! I can smell you!"

Ramiris yelps as the pixie flew high up hoping Scarlet wouldn't notice. "Oh no, I have to warn the others about this.."

Scarlet grins as she jumps up and was behind the pixie as she snatched her in her hands. "Warn who exactly?"

The demon lord pixie yelps as she struggled in the Grimm girl's grasp. "L-let me go, I'll give you anything you want, just please don't hurt me."

Scarlet snickers. "Ara ara....anything huh?" She grins widely as she bared her fangs as they seemed sharper as Ramiris noticed them and gulps nervously.

"W-Wait, I don't taste good." Ramiris said as she went pale in the face.

Scarlet ignored the pixie as she tossed the small demon lord into her mouth and gulped her down as the Grimm girl snickered and walked out of the Labyrinth while she smacked her stomach. "Now then....I think it's time I payed another visit to Rimuru city, and I'll be sure to kill every last one of them!" Her eyes glowed as she cackled loudly.
