Clayman the Crazy Pierrot

-Walpurgis venue

*A particular Demon Lord's perspective

(Heh, interesting)

A demon lord thought while looking at the two women that Dino brought as he analyzed them using his Skill but failed to do so, indicating that those two are a holder of Ultimate Skill.

(But they won't be able to hide the dragon aura they emit... heh... As I expected, this world was too partial to dragons and humans alike... just having the protection of a dragon is more than enough to be superior to the same class of monsters, much more those who have a direct influence on them)

The demon lord thought as he guessed the origins of Artoria and Erza. The former has a dragon core, a human that was supposed to be born as a dragon, while the latter is the daughter of the Dragon.

(Still, while both were Hero, that woman was unique in her case... having a dragon influence, protection of the Spirit world, being a hero and blessing of the Demon Lord, Dino, you're creating one of a hell person... she might have already had to surpass Rudra in just potential)

The Demon Lord smirked, just imagining fighting Artoria at her full potential, making him excited for the future. At the same time, his partner noticed his expression, a battle-maniac expression through and through.

(Fufu, you are having so much fun, I guess just seeing you enjoying this is more than worth it for me to come here)

His partner thought as she communicated to him through telepathy while she hid her presence in Warpurgis using her Ultimate Skill. At the same time, the demon lord just shook his head with a smile while looking at the slime, which was also interesting in its own right.

(That was the slime Leon was talking about.. the one who crushed all those who performed that summoning experiment he was performing through Western Kingdoms as Leon gathered those data)

Rimuru, whose fighting Milim, manages to see the Demon Lord, who analyzes him, making Rimuru have a chill on his back.

(Heh, quite a sensitive guy... I hope you will be able to last long in this banquet where Demon lords gather... because the member was constantly changing aside from me, Milim, and Ramiris as founders)

"An Opening-daso!!!"

-BAM!!!!

Milim said as she punched Rimuru through oblivion, making the demon lord who analyzed him shake his head.

(Well, he's still inexperienced... Oho, well, it looks like the fun was coming at the climax)

The demon lord thought as he saw Clayman chaotic Magicules going haywire while those souls he killed started gathering inside him, making the demon lord smirk as he enjoyed watching the clown's last moment.

...

...

"NO!!! I won't let myself be defeated in this place!! I promise that person and lord kazarim-sama that I will return alive!!!"

Clayman shouted with anger, while Artoria just looked at Clayman with disinterest as she continued to make a punching out of him.

"No... Your life starts to clock down the moment you make a move to my Kingdom..."

Artoria said as she manifested her sacred lance, making all the demon lords in her presence flinch, particularly Ramiris, who shouted for her to stop what she would do.

"Sacred lance partial release..."

A Great Holy Spirit started to manifest within the bounds of the Barrier as golden light occupied the whole Barrier created by Guy Crimson. In contrast, lesser spirits started to gather around the Sacred Lance, whose been manifesting halfway through Sacred Lance.

"Artoria, Don't do it..."

Just as the sacred lance would manifest, Dino, whose been watching the fun on the sidelines, uses his authority to stop Artoria from letting using one of her Ultimate Weapons, making the Sacred Lance disappear before it was manifested while Artoria looked at her Master, who nodded to her at the same time.

"But... If my Master said so..."

Artoria, who looked at his smiling Master, said reluctantly, as she knew he would punish her later if she continued her actions like no meal for three days or no more food for her in the next decade.

"Hey! Did that woman try to manifest Spirit World in this place?"

A giant Demon Lord said as he looked at Artoria with a serious expression while also looking at his old friend Dino whose been ignoring him the whole time.

(Heh, what a particular way of using Holy Attribute... I thought I was the only one who knew to use the secrets of that Element in this world but)

The maid of the Demon Lord Valentine thought while looking at Artoria with fascinating eyes, her Unique Skill: Lust started manifesting as her affection towards Erza and Artoria grew.

"!!!"

(Tch, it looks like someone does not want their possession to be stolen.)

The maid thought as she looked at Dino, whose looking at her with languid eyes as if he saw through her thoughts. At the same time, just as she thought that Dino was warning her due to bad thoughts about his subordinates, he gave her an "Ok sign" and started watching Clayman again.

"..."

"..."

(Welp. Yuri is not bad...)

Dino said to his mind pervertedly while Clayman, in his last struggle, started forcefully to awaken as a True Demon Lord, making the whole place chaotic as magicules started amassing around him. At the same time, that mass of hatred the Clayman managed to accumulate started to strengthen him as the remnants of souls, he killed in the past fueled him to become a True Demon Lord but an incomplete one.

"HAHaHAhAHA, Heaven does not forsake me!!! Look at me! I have acquired the power! WhahaHAHahA"

Clayman said, looking at everyone with hatred and mocking expressions, while he started on planning to run from Walpurgis. Even though he gains power, he is not an idiot to battle all the Demon Lords in Walpurgis.

"It looks like it's really begun now... even though some of the calculation of Raphael was off the mark, the goal of awakening Clayman was still achieved."

Rimuru said while walking to Dino, while Dino yawned at the antics of Clayman while using his Ultimate Skill so that he won't be able to escape using his Astral body.

"Dino-san. Please let me be the one to kill Clayman."

Rimuru said with a serious expression so that he would have a right to become a Demon Lord due to him seizing Clayman's position as Demon Lord while Milim, whose supposed to be his enemy, was now eating Apito's Honey with a delighted expression.

(Kuh! those are my stocks... Hahhhh, there's no helping it)

Rimuru thought while Dino looked at him with interesting eyes while evaluating the current Rimuru.

"Heh, four Ultimate Skills are more than for you to become a Demon Lord..."

"!"

"Wha-"

"..."

Dino said with playfulness making all those who know about Ultimate Skill look at Rimuru with shocked expressions. At the same time, Rimuru had great turmoil in his head, including the ego of his Ultimate Skill: Raphael.

"Hahaha, interesting... If what Dino said is true, then you are more than qualified to join our ranks."

Guy Crimson said with a smirk as he got more information about the Slime that Dino protected on their last meeting, making him realize why Dino protected him.

"Okay... go ahead, kill him... don't let his astral body escape..."

Dino said while looking at Artoria with knowing eyes. Artoria nodded reluctantly, still wanting to beat Clayman to death, making Dino speechless.

"Thanks..."

Rimuru, who's back on the chaotic turmoil in his head, said cautiously while looking at his enemy with determination.

(Well, I'm going to think later why he knows about my skills, but more importantly, I need to make Clayman pay the price for messing with us)

Rimuru thought while everyone watched the last moment of Clayman the Crazy Pierrot.
