Chapter 24 - Useless Demon

The time started to flow again, and the chaos befell in the quiet room. All the Demon Lords and their attendants were shocked beyond words with the only exception being Veldora, Guy, and Rimuru.

The first one to move was Veldora without wasting any moment Veldora uses his Ultimate Skill «Faust's» sub-skill «Probability Manipulation» and started to suppress the energy with his raw strength.

This is the best he can do because he didn't know how to suppress energy.

Rimuru was dumbfounded at the fast action of Veldora.

'How did he react this fast'

Rimuru thought silently as he looked at Veldora with a proud face.

"Hey, stop looking at me. I'm barely holding this chunk of energy with my skill"

Veldora complained because nobody was helping him.

Rimuru was the first one to get out of his stupor as he used «Soul Devourer» and isolated all the energy into his «Imaginary Space»

Everybody sighs heavily as the energy lump disappeared. But mostly all of them were confused.

How did the lump of energy suddenly appear in front of them?

As everybody returned to their seats. They all looked at Guy for an answer and their eyes nearly fell out of their sockets.

Guy Crimson one of the strongest Demon Lords has bruises and cuts all over his body. But there is a noticeable wound on his left hand, a big scar.

They all looked toward Rimuru to their surprise he also has cut marks on his body not as bad as Guy though.

The room is also not in a good condition there are signs of battle and destruction.

In the blink of an eye, all of Rimuru's wounds got healed but-

"You little slime bastard, why aren't these wounds are healing"

Guy growled at Rimuru with an expression that is hard to read.

"Little..? That's funny, one of the strongest Demon Lords got cuts all over his body from a 'little slime"

Rimuru replied to him with a mocking smile as he looked very pleased after seeing wounds all over Guy's body.

"You are saying like you were any better"

Flustered Guy replied instantly as he glared at Rimuru with his sharp crimson eyes.

"You are wrong. You were only able to make six small scratches over my body and as you can see they healed almost instantly.

As for you, you only got lucky if the barrier wasn't destroyed by the energy discharges and pressure created by the swords you would have been dead by now"

Rimuru replied to him coldly as his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Dead? You must be dreaming. I wasn't even fighting with you seriously"

It's true Guy only used one of the Ultimate Skills he also has other copied Ultimate Skills that he didn't use in the battle but...

"Hah! Like I was fighting seriously. To be honest I didn't even use my Ultimate Skill in the battle and I have more than two Ultimate Skills"

The same can be said for Rimuru he also only used Ciel in the battle to cover his lack of experience in a battle.

"..."

"..."

Other demon Lords, we're rather surprised by the revelation. As they looked at Rimuru with shocked eyes.

Is it ok to reveal this important information?

They all already have guessed that Rimuru and Guy fought with one another in «Time Stop» but they aren't sure who stopped the time. So they were all listening earnestly hoping to find out some info.

"Eh? Rimuru-Sama is it fine to tell all the people about your skills."

Benimaru asked bewildered it is rare for Rimuru to reveal the information about his skills after all.

"Haa~ Don't worry. They all have only one Ultimate Skill or abilities comparable to an Ultimate Skill other than this Red Demon he also has more than two Ultimate Skill like me but don't worry about it he is just a Useless Demon"

Rimuru replied to Benimaru like it was nothing and everybody was already aware of this information but no they are not and as expected the room again entered the silent mode.

'This newbie is dangerously strong and analytical'

Just as Guy was about to reply to Rimuru, he continued.

"Ah! But there is an expectation, the Vampire maid over there doesn't have an Ultimate Skill.

Oh! And don't add that bird and Carrion they aren't Awakened Demon Lords after all."

Luminus- Lumious?(IDK I forgot) and Frey's eyes twitch as they heard the way Rimuru describe them but they didn't bring it up.

It is not worth making an enemy out of Rimuru just for a trivial name.

But not all of them were thinking the same thing as a thick mark appeared on the certain demon head.

"You little– do you want to die"

Guy said while greeting his teeth 'Useless Demon' not even Velzard has called him useless this many times in more than 2000 years.

"Heh! Saying the one who wasn't even able to heal his wound— "

Rimuru stopped as he saw that his wound was slowly fading out.

"Oh it took you a full one minute just to heal your wounds"

He didn't let go of a single chance to mock him. He was in a bad mood because of Velzard and for Rimuru roasting and insulting others is the best to fix his mood.

"What kind of energy do you use—"

But before Guy can ask any further Misery arrived with Clayman and Milim.

'Ciel-San analysis Milim at full speed.'

Without any delay Rimuru ordered Ciel-San. The main reason why he came here was her after all.

<

Notice. No curse was found, and her mental health is also stable>>

'She is just playing controlled'

<>

Rimuru's eyes turn dark as he heard Ciel-San reply. She destroyed the whole 'Animal Kingdom just to play controlled.

Rimuru's mood dropped again and now he is going to humiliate Clayman before he kills him.

'Sigh. What do I do with this troublesome girl?'

Milim, Clayman, and Misery looked surprised as they enter the room because the room is not in great condition

"What happened here"

Clayman asked confused as his eyes wandered around the whole room.

"Nothing you should worry about, just a little exchange of pointers"

Guy relied on him with a huge smile. He looked at Rimuru with an amused face.

"Oh! It's that so... Well sorry to arrive late."

Clayman apologized in front of everyone just for a show of course.

"As host of this Walpurgis, I hereby declared that the..."

And with that Clayman didn't stop all the Demon Lords are looking at him in pity but of course, he didn't realize it.

"... This slime is it didn't even utter a word since I started it is clear that he conspires against us Demon Lords."

And that was the limit of Rimuru as he looked at Clayman with his intense gaze, penetrating his very soul.

"My silence doesn't mean I agree with you, It means your level of stupidity left me speechless."

The blunt and cold reply from Rimuru left Clayman speechless and all others are trying very hard not to laugh.

Clayman was furious beyond words but didn't dare to make a move against Rimuru.

"You little slime as proof I have..."

With that Clayman again started to spout nonsense. Rimuru is a patient person but he is not in a very good mood because of Velzard and Guy he already has enough for a day.

"Hey, are you trying to kill me with your boring speech? If yes! Then good job, I nearly faint a while ago I just woke up"

Rimuru said as he looked at Clayman with his cold eyes. All the Demon Lords tensed up they didn't want another lump of energy to suddenly appeared after all.

"You filthy slime"

He wasn't able to make a comeback so Clayman just used his famous captcha.

"First little and now filthy. You know people always say I don't look impressive enough, but they can't argue over how strong I am once I punch them in the face."

"Puff-"

Many chuckles and giggles filled the room as Leon looked flustered and irritated but the punch was truly very powerful.

'I can't defy these words'

Leon thought as he silently swallowed his little pride.

"I have a lot of free time but I didn't want to waste it on you"

Rimuru didn't stop his tongue assaults, he keeps insulting and taunting Clayman with no end.

"Yawn. Hey are you done yet"

Again Rimuru interrupts Clayman in his never-ending speech.

"Let's make it easier for all of us."

Finally, not able to endure any more nonsense Rimuru said gaining the attention of all people.

"Everything you said or you are going to say is true. I confessed I'm the one who killed the human army, ask Milim to kill Carrion, and whatever you said earlier.

Now, what are you going to do?"

Rimuru asked him aggressively as he released a little bit of his aura to intimidate Clayman even more.

"The way you are acting, so confidently I'm pretty sure you have some hidden trick don't you"

Terrified.

He felt terrified to the very core. He wasn't even able to utter a single word.

"What a disgrace for a Demon Lord"

With that Rimuru leaned back into his chair and closed his eyes.

Relaxing his body, he had enough of bullshit for today.
