Chapter 23: El Diablo

It was now November as it had gotten colder out, luckily Scarlet had a huge feast from the Animal kingdom. She had killed that kingdoms Demon lord with ease, however someone lurked in the darkness.

"Show yourself." Scarlet said as she was covered in blood. "Don't think I won't kill you."

A man in a butler's uniform stepped out as he had black hair, with a red piece as well, his eyes were not human as he grins. "Pardon the intrusion, I'm Diablo...I've took notice that you've taken down the Animal Kingdom with ease."

"And what off it?' Scarlet asked as she sat there looking at him

""I'm impressed, that's all." Diablo said as he chuckles. "To think someone of your species who isn't a demon lord is able to kill someone stronger than you."

Scarlet grins a little. "Ara, so you know what I am then?"

"Of course, but." Diablo said. "You are aware that Rimuru will become a Demon Lord within a matter hours or so?"

Scarlet scoffed. "Let him, he thinks he can get the upper hand on me. But I won't allow him too." She stood up as she crushed a skull under her foot as she walked towards the window. "All that you've built will be torn down. The hope of your people assailed...send your guardians, they will fail. Legends and heroes will crumble and fall, and you will not prevail."

"A speech of the wise and of a villain, but no one around to hear it." Diablo said.

Scarlet turns to look at him. "I wasn't directing it to have anyone hear it. I know Rimuru will fail to stop me."

Diablo watched Scarlet walk away as he grins. "If you say so, but his power is higher than some lowly Grimm."

Scarlet stops as she growls. "We'll see about that."

~~~

Diablo had sensed Rimuru's aura sky rocket as he smirked knowing Rimuru had became a demon lord. The floor below him glowed as he was transported to where Rimuru was, seeing a few other's alive that is.

"So you're the one I summoned?" Rimuru asked.

"Of course, my name is Diablo, I will be serving you. You are now a Demon lord, what will you like for me to do with the remaining people?" Diablo asked.

"We'll take them prisoner." Rimuru said. "Make them talk."

Diablo smirks as he nods. "Very well, oh and...I had met Scarlet, a interesting girl no doubt."

Rimuru glanced at him. "You have?"

"Sadly she seems to think you won't be able to defeat her." Diablo said. "Let alone have your people stop her." He fixed his gloves as he looked at him. "Also, the Animal Kingdom has gone silent as well. She killed them all."

Rimuru was silent as his aura lingered off him, as if a strong gust of wind was blowing. He gritted his teeth as he clinched his fist. "She killed them all?"

Diablo nods. "She has..."

Rimuru's aura shot higher. "Then I'll make her regret ever coming here!" Rimuru walked off as he was angry. "The whole Animal Kingdom gone....what is she planning to do?"

"Who's planning what?" Shion asked looking at Rimuru as she noticed him walking by.

"That girl who attacked." Rimuru said. "Scarlet, that's her name. I forgot to tell you all that...she killed everyone in the Animal Kingdom, meaning she also killed the Demon Lord of that kingdom as well."

"She did what?!" Shion asked surprised and shocked. "W-What's going to happen to the rest of the world?"

Rimuru thinks as he rubs his chin. "I'm not sure...if she's destroying each kingdom. Then we might be next...we need to prepare for the worse."

~~~

Scarlet stabbed Clayman in the back as she rips her arm out and smirked. "You're a fool Clayman..trusting me so easily."

"Y-You back stabber..." Clayman said as he puked up blood. "W-Why?"

Scarlet knelt down and grabs his chin. "Because I can." She ripped his head off as she grins. "Look at you, pathetic...weak." She glanced over at the two dead Majins as she grins. "This world will know true darkness and terror...if I had my army of Grimm, this world would be in ruins." She snickered as she devoured Clayman's corpse. "And now you and everyone else I've killed will make my stronger."

A time rift opened as Scarlet turned around seeing it. "What? Already...but I haven't done enough chaos."

The rift stayed opened as the Grimm girl sighs, but then again a gut feeling told her that not to stay any longer. And that Salem was somehow still alive, debating on what to do. Scarlet jumped through the rift as it closed behind her, sending her to the next world.
