[HINATA]
It's over!
Dead End Rainbow!
[RIMURU]
Awaken, Gluttony!
[GREAT SAGE]
Complete. Order accepted.
Executing immediately.
[HINATA grunts]
[gasps]
I don't believe it.
[PREDATOR RIMURU growling]
[HINATA]
I see.
This is a form
specialized for combat.
It incorporates traits
from various monsters.
[PREDATOR RIMURU roars]
So that's your game.
[PREDATOR RIMURU roars]
And... since my
Dead End Rainbow att*ck
failed to finish you off...
...it means you have no soul.
[PREDATOR RIMURU growls]
Fine.
[HINATA]
Astral Bind!
[PREDATOR RIMURU roars]
[HINATA]
Still not enough to stop you?
[HINATA]
Spirit summon!
[HINATA] Let me provide you
with a prayer to the divine.
I hope for and desire the power
of all the holy spirits.
[PREDATOR RIMURU growls]
Listen to my appeal.
Overcome your obstacles!
[HINATA]
Put an end to this.
Disintegration!
I have avenged you, Miss Shizu.
[RIMURU sighs]
[whimpers]
[RIMURU gasps]
[RIMURU sighs]
I almost bit the dust!
[RANGA grunts]
[RANGA]
At long last, I made it out!
Please tell me
you're all right, Master!
[RIMURU screams]
[RANGA]
Master!
--[RIMURU] I'm fine, Ranga!
--[RANGA] Master!
--Calm down, dude!
--[whining]
[RIMURU] No doubt, things were
getting pretty dicey back there.
[RIMURU] This isn't working.
She's too freakin' strong!
That was close. It's impressive
that you can move
so well inside this barrier.
Frankly, I had sold you short.
Still. You won't
leave here alive.
Because you can k*ll me
with just one more strike?
Yeah, I definitely
wasn't expecting a fight
that I had no hope of winning.
Regardless, I will keep
fighting, even if it's in vain.
I may be a slime,
but I'm not so soft
that I'd just roll over and die!
[GREAT SAGE]
Notice.
Using the unique
skill "Degenerate,"
the higher-level
elemental known as Ifrit
has been separated
into a pure spirit.
[RIMURU]
All right!
Defeat my enemy!
Superior spirit of fire, Ifrit!
[roars]
[RIMURU] Making a body
double and am-scraying
was a really good call.
[RIMURU]
I'm not too proud to run.
Hinata's strong, though!
That girl is a beast.
[RIMURU] Even without Holy
Field, I still might've lost.
Her "Disintegration"
move is just too OP.
[RIMURU] Avoiding an att*ck
that huge has to be impossible.
I wonder if Milim
could survive it.
I should ask her sometime.
Man, damn that Hinata lady!
She wouldn't let me
explain anything!
She just had to start
an all-out brawl!
[RANGA] I'm not really
sure what happened,
but I think it's fair to say
you won this battle, Master!
[RIMURU] For real, you and I
are on the same page!
But I mean, if Hinata
wants to split hairs,
I guess we could call it
a draw or whatever.
[RANGA]
Don't be ridiculous!
It's easy to see that you
had an overwhelming victory!
[RIMURU]
Uh, sure.
Anyway, we gotta hurry home!
I'm worried about
the goblinhood.
[RIMURU]
Tempest, please!
[RANGA]
Right!
[RIMURU]
Huh?
[wind howls]
--[RANGA] Uh?
--[RIMURU] What's wrong?
[GREAT SAGE] Notice:
Specified destination not found.
[RIMURU]
Huh?!
[GREAT SAGE] It appears that
Tempest has been isolated
from the rest of the world by
some sort of special barrier.
[RIMURU]
Aw, man, that can't be good.
Is there another
place near Tempest
that we can jump to, instead?
[GREAT SAGE]
Searching...
I have a hit.
[RIMURU]
Awesome, let's go!
[RANGA]
Uhh?
[GABIRU] I'm telling you, I can
break through it with my att*ck!
[SOUEI]
No.
I'll try again.
[GABIRU]
But Souei--
[grunting]
[GABIRU]
It's Lord Rimuru!
[RANGA]
Hmm?
Lord Rimuru.
I am glad to see you're safe.
[RIMURU]
Thanks.
Whoa! Forget me, what in
the heck happened to you?!
Nothing, these are
but mere scratches.
[VESTA panting]
Oh, thank goodness you're back!
Drink this potion.
[RIMURU] So, what's
the deal with Tempest?
I'm afraid we don't
have any answers.
[GABIRU]
I'm worried.
I can't get in touch with any of
my men that I sent into town.
[RIMURU gasps]
[RIMURU whimpers]
There's a barrier
or something interfering.
[RIMURU]
So it's true.
[SOKA] Master Souei actually
tried to destroy part of
the barrier and enter
the city earlier.
That's how he got injured.
[SOUEI]
Enough, Soka.
I'll be fine.
Right.
[RIMURU] If Souei couldn't break
through it with his abilities,
then this barrier
must be crazy strong.
Who's responsible?
Well, my lord.
We think humans.
From the Kingdom of Falmuth.
[RIMURU gasps]
I was able to confirm that they
have initiated m*llitary actions.
A large army is headed
toward Tempest.
[RIMURU grunts]
There's no time to waste!
[RIMURU gasps]
Whoa, that barrier's enormous!
[RIMURU]
Great Sage. Use Analyze.
[GREAT SAGE]
Answer.
Great magic confirmed,
originating inside the barrier.
Anti-Magic Area.
There is also reduced
magicule density due to
the effects of
the outer barrier.
[RIMURU]
"Reduced magicule density"?
Is it the same as
Hinata's Holy Field?
[GREAT SAGE]
Negative.
The principle is the same,
but its purification ability
is weaker, so it is inferior.
It can be resisted
with Multilayer Barrier.
[RIMURU]
Great magic from the inside
and holy magic from the outside.
So it's a two-layered as*ault.
Who could have
done this, and why?
Listen up. I'll break inside
and stop whoever's casting
the great magic.
You guys go and find
the one who's erecting
the other barrier.
--Yes, sir.
--We will.
Be careful,
and don't engage them.
I just want you to find out
who they are, okay?
All right. And how
should we contact you?
[RIMURU]
Hmm? Hmm...
With this, we should be able
to use Thought Communication,
even if I'm on the inside.
[SOUEI]
I see.
--Let's do this.
--Yes.
Stay in my shadow, Ranga.
Right!
Wait here, Gabiru.
[GABIRU]
Be careful, sir!
[RIMURU]
I will.
[RIMURU grunts]
There are still magicules,
just not as many.
This is terrible.
[SURVIVORS murmuring]
[GOBLIN WOMAN A]
The children we had with us
are all safe because of you.
Thank you for protecting them.
We owe you so much.
You guys are our heroes.
There's no need to thank us.
Sir Gabiru would've done the
same thing if he were here.
[LIZARDMAN H] Yeah, we only
did what needed to be done.
I hope that Sir Gabiru
is all right.
[RIMURU panting]
[gasping]
[GOBLIN MAN C]
Ah! Look, it's Lord Rimuru!
[GOBLIN WOMAN A]
Thank goodness. You're back!
[GOBLIN WOMAN B]
I'm so glad he's alive.
[RIGURD]
Is that you, Lord Rimuru?!
[RIMURU gasps]
I am so happy you've returned--
thank goodness you're safe!
Sorry to worry you.
[RIGURD] There's nothing
to apologize for!
So what happened?
[RIGURD grunts]
Um...
[KAIJIN]
You're here, and in one piece.
[RIMURU gasps]
Kaijin.
[KAIJIN]
Mm...
[RIMURU gasps]
I'm sorry. But everybody
needs your counsel
as soon as possible.
We must brief you
on the situation.
[RIMURU sighs]
Who are those people?
Uh, here's the thing--
It's nothing, my lord!
You needn't concern
yourself with it!
The plaza.
Tell me what's going on.
Well... It's complicated.
[groaning]
--[SURVIVORS gasping]
--[RIMURU gasps] What was that?!
Benimaru?!
[groaning]
[GELD sighs]
You're protecting that
woman, too, Grucius?
Unfortunately,
I'm out of patience.
Step aside or I'll make you.
[chuckles]
Can't do that.
You've already
lost your cool once.
I can't risk you
getting any closer.
Oh?
You think you've
seen me lose my cool?
If that were the case,
you'd be dead.
And there would be
nothing left here but ashes.
So don't you dare--
Just leave her alone, okay?!
I'm not gonna let
you get near her!
Back off!
[BENIMARU]
I said to get out of my way!
[GRUCIUS grunts]
[yells]
[GRUCIUS grunts, groans]
I won't... stop... protecting...
[BENIMARU] Tch.
You need to quit interfering.
[RIMURU]
Stop, Benimaru!
--[BENIMARU gasps]
--[GRUCIUS groans]
You've returned!
What's happening here?
It's this barrier.
It blocks the use of magic,
and it has reduced
our abilities as well.
Because of it,
we've lost a lot of people--
No! Don't, Benimaru!
[gasps]
[BENIMARU]
We can discuss it later.
--[gasps]
--[coughs]
[BENIMARU] Anyway. When we
realized we were weakened,
we realized it was her magic.
When we located the caster
and tried to capture her,
Youm chose to stand in our way,
and we were forced
to engage in combat.
Huh.
[YOUM]
Master Rimuru!
I'm sorry!
[RIMURU]
Hmm?
[YOUM] I never had any
intention of betraying you.
I just... I couldn't stand by
and let them hurt Myulan.
Myulan?
It's all right, Youm.
Just abandon me.
[YOUM]
Don't be ridiculous. I can't.
There's no reason for you
to be dragged into my mess.
It's my choice, Myulan!
Lord Rimuru...
I'm well aware that,
as a humble visitor,
I'm in no position
to interfere...
But I beg you, sir...
Will you at least listen
to what we have to say?
[RIMURU]
All right.
[gasps]
It's okay. Really. I'll be fine.
I could never ask either
of you to defend my actions.
--[YOUM] Myulan!
--[GRUCIUS gasps]
[MYULAN]
It's my fault.
There are people who were
sacrificed because of me.
I'm the one who caused
such a horrific scene.
"Horrific"?
[grunts]
[sighing]
[sighs]
What do you mean by that?
[MYULAN]
You'll understand when you see.
[BOTH grunting]
[RIMURU gasps]
[sobbing, whimpering]
[RIMURU grunts]
[SURVIVORS sobbing, whimpering]
[RIMURU gasps]
[sobbing continues]
[RIMURU]
What is all this...?
What... happened here...?
Don't tell me... they're dead?
[REGURD]
They were merciless. The humans.
[RIMURU]
The humans...?
They were simply following your
rule about always being kind
to human visitors, Lord Rimuru.
And as a result...
[sobs]
--[RIGURD] Be quiet.
--[gasps]
No more.
Ah! [grunts] Right.
Please forgive me.
[RIMURU] My own words
from when we first met...
[RIMURU]
There are three rules.
Please do your best
to follow them.
First, no attacking humans.
Second, no fighting
amongst yourselves.
Third, no belittling
other races.
That's it!
[RIMURU] This happened...
because of my rules.
[MYULAN] If I hadn't
used that great magic,
then none of these
people would have d*ed.
[RIMURU]
So then... it's her fault...?
[GREAT SAGE]
Notice.
The great magic known
as Anti-Magic Field alone
could not cause this
degree of weakening.
[RIMURU gasps]
[GREAT SAGE] Anti-Magic Field
does not weaken targets
in and of itself. The humans you
instructed Souei to investigate
are likely more relevant.
[RIMURU gasps]
Right.
I gotta stay calm.
It's almost like this Myulan
woman is trying to rile me up
so that I'll direct all
my anger at her and no one else.
Is she trying to protect
Youm and Grucius?
[sighs]
Myulan, was it?
I would like to
hear more, please.
Come with me
to the meeting room.
[MJOLMIRE]
Lord Rimuru.
Would it be all right with you
if I participated in
that meeting, as well?
I believe I could offer
an outsider's perspective
on the events that
occurred today.
Mjolmire. You were here?
Sure, I'd appreciate that.
Let's go.
[RIMURU] I received a report on
what had transpired in Tempest
while I was away.
[inaudible]
[RIMURU]
Mysterious attackers...
And...
Knights from Falmuth.
[BENIMARU growls]
If this hadn't weakened us,
then Hakurou would
have never fallen.
He what?! Like, he lost?!
[RIGURD clears throat]
Yes, he was severely injured,
but thankfully, he'll recover.
Lady Shuna is treating
both him and Gobta,
who was also wounded
badly in the fight.
I see.
Then, as the knights from
Falmuth were leaving Tempest...
This city has been
contaminated by monsters!
As the chosen
protectors of humanity,
we refuse to recognize
a nation built by monsters!
Therefore, we will consult with
the Western Holy Church
regarding what must be done
about this unruly country.
We will return
one week from today.
When we do,
it'll be under our ruler.
Great King Edomalis himself!
It would be in your
best interest to surrender
and swear allegiance to him!
If you refuse us,
then in the name of God, I will
eradicate every last one of you!
What a farce.
Yes. An elaborate charade.
[HINATA]
Your city's in my way.
Not for long.
Since I intend to destroy it.
[RIMURU] The Western Holy Church
and the Kingdom of Falmuth
have been colluding
from the start.
I had to make a guess, I'd say
the Church has it in for us
because their doctrine doesn't
condone the existence
of monsters.
But then, what's in it for
the Kingdom of Falmuth?
If you don't mind,
I think I know the reason.
[RIMURU gasps, grunts]
As we speak, a new trade route
is coming into existence
with your country at its center.
The rise of Tempest has
created unprecedented reform
in commerce.
Meaning what?
Well, trade routes
are quite important.
Even imposing a small
tariff could create
the potential for
an enormous profit.
Yes, the Kingdom of Falmuth is
notorious for being a country
that heavily profits from trade.
It's like a gateway to
the Western Provinces.
[RIMURU grunts] Ah, so a profit
for Tempest equals a loss
for the Kingdom
of Falmuth, right?
--Correct.
--A tremendous one, at that.
I get it now.
I've been playing
with fire this whole time,
and I didn't even know it.
[RIMURU]
Mjolmire.
Yes?
Here's what we're gonna do.
First off, update the
Kingdom of Blummund
on our current situation.
Please let them know that we're
about to face Falmuth's army.
Right. Yes.
I will impress upon them that
Tempest has done no wrong.
Thanks.
In that case,
I shall take my leave.
[RIMURU]
Which brings us back to Myulan.
I think it's time you told us
the truth about why
you messed with us.
Don't leave out any details.
[MYULAN grunts]
Myulan...
It's all right.
I have nothing left to hide now.
My name's Myulan and I serve
the Demon Lord Clayman.
[gasping]
A Demon Lord?
I see.
So Demon Lord Clayman
is the one pulling the strings.
[GREAT SAGE]
Next time, "Hope."
