Episode : Birth of a Demon Lord

R-R-R-R-Reyheim!

What is this?! What can we do?!

What should we do?!

Please calm down! Please calm down!

Is King Edomalis safe?!

What are you doing?! Protect the king!

Y-Yes, sir!

F-Folgen!

Quickly... We must get
away from here quickly!

We must return to our kingdom and regroup!

Agreed. We have no idea what is happening.

If we don't leave at once,
we will be k*lled, as well.

Shogo? No, you are...

I am Razen, my king.

Ah, Razen!

Thank goodness you're back!

Now, we must return home, quickly!

Your transportation magic can—

Unfortunately, Anti-Magic Area is
preventing me from using my magic.

Wh-What?!

Th-Then...

Worry not, my king, Archbishop Reyheim.

I will use my unique skill, Spearhead,

to force those remaining
alive to gather together.

I will use them as living shields
to protect the two of you.

Oh! Of course! Well done, Folgen!

We can always rely on you, Sir Folgen!

I will assemble the knights.

Please begin preparations to retreat.

Understood!

We're dead!

We're all going to die!

Th-This can't be...

What in the world is going on?!

That's...

It can't be!

The ruler of the monster nation?

Your face looks Japanese.

Are you the Otherworlder
who att*cked our city?

Only on the outside.
Someone different is inside.

Hmm...

Well, either way, you're still an enemy.

No! N-Not Razen, too!

It was a mistake to mess
with the nation of monsters!

What do I do? How can I survive?!

N-No, this might be my chance!

This fool was so pleased to negotiate
with a puny nation like Blumund.

If I, the king of the great Kingdom
of Falmuth, offer a proposal,

he's sure to fall to his
knees in overwhelming joy!

S-Spare us...

Please spare us!

Confirmed.

Confirmed.

Unique skill "Merciless"
acquisition successful.

Successful.

Merciless? What the heck is that?

Y-You are the ruler of the nation
of monsters, are you not?!

I am Edomalis, king of
the Kingdom of Falmuth!

Stand down! I wish to speak with you!

Are you his double or what?

Don't worry. I promised I
wouldn't hurt the real king.

He is not a double!

On my name as Archbishop Reyheim of
the Western Holy Church, I swear it!

Well, I'm k*lling everyone who
isn't the king. That okay?

K-k*lling... everyone?!

Wait! Please wait!

Please... Please spare me, if no one else!

I am a highly influential voice
within the Western Holy Church!

I can assure them that you monsters
are not enemies to the humans!

W-Wait!

I just said I wish to speak with you!

Well, what is it? I'll listen, at least.

I-Insolence!

I am the king of the
great Kingdom of Falmuth!

You are a creature that normally wouldn't
even have the ability to speak!

And you—

Listen. You should think
about who you're talking to.

I'll forgive that remark, but you'd
better choose your words carefully.

Th-This is just a misunderstanding!

What did I misunderstand?

I-I only came here to establish
friendly relations!

You declare w*r on my nation,

and you think you can get
away with saying that now?

My comrades fell victim to your people.

That makes you my enemies.

The Western Holy Church
perceived monsters as hostile,

so I only wanted to see for myself whether
we could establish friendly relations with them!

And the declaration of w*r was just
some Otherworlders going on a rampage!

V-Very well! My nation will enter
diplomatic relations with yours!

Good deal, is it not? Are you not honored?

Would that not make you feel much prouder?

O-Of course, I will require compensation
later for the losses in our ranks,

Is he some kind of genius?

How much does he think he has to piss me off?

but out of my own kindness, I will do my due
diligence on the matter! What say you?!

Notice.

Analysis of unique skill
"Merciless" is complete.

Analysis complete.

It gives one the power to seize control of
those who plead for their lives or seek aid.

Seize

Control

Meaning?

If one loses one's will to fight
in the face of this skill,

it will mean their death.

I see.

Anyway, do I have all the souls I need yet?

As of now, you have acquired
.% of the required number.

Still not enough? Well, then...

Merciless, huh?

I doubt I'll have many chances to use it,

but it looks like its power
will come in handy now.

Question.

Use unique skill "Merciless"?

Yes.

Through the use of the
unique skill "Merciless,"

you have harvested the souls of all
the humans existing in this area.

However, the individuals called Edomalis
and Reyheim are excluded as targets.

That's merciless, all right.

Evolution to Demon Lord

Oh, crap...

I suddenly feel so sleepy...

Notice.

Magic Sense has detected one survivor.

Wait, what?

Right now, I need to do something
about this sleepiness.

Notice.

The Harvest Festival cannot
be halted once it has begun.

What the heck is this?

Ranga.

Yes, Master?

Top-priority order.

Take me back to the town, and keep me safe.

Yes, Master!

Take those two as w*r prisoners.

Understood.

I sense some surviving enemies.
What shall I do about them?

Let someone else take care of that...

Remove Anti-Magic Area.

Activate summon magic, Demon Summoning.

My offering is all of the
dead bodies lying here.

I've got food for you!

Get out here, demon!

Be of use to me!

A d-demon?!

Hey, you guys...

Someone's hiding somewhere,
pretending to be dead.

Capture him alive.

This familiar presence...

The birth of a new Demon Lord.

How truly fantastic!

An enormous offering, my first job...

I couldn't be more honored.
I might just give this extra effort.

I have awaited this day for so long.

May I serve you from this day forward?

We'll talk later.

First, prove that you'll be of use to me.

Go.

This is a simple task.

Worry not, Master.

Everyone, focus!

Our leader is victorious!

Now it's our turn to make
use of our strength!

Great Rimuru!

Take Master, quickly!

Bring a cloak.

His Thermal Fluctuation Resistance
might not be functioning.

Right!

I'm so glad you're safe.

Great Rimuru...

Once you become a Demon Lord,

please don't become a different
person and lose all control.

Analysis complete.

The power of Survivor kept me alive.

I had no idea he would pierce
my brain in a mere instant...

I will be restraining you.

You are welcome to resist if you wish.

Just know that, while I won't k*ll you,

I have not been ordered
against torturing you.

You have been warned.

Oh? So you are going to fight me?

Fight you?

What an amusing joke.

Why would I make jokes?

You're no more than a Greater Demon.

Very good. This should be quite fun.

I will humor you for a bit.

It will help me work off that meal.

Do not underestimate me!

Nuclear strike magic:

Nuclear Cannon!

He turned it aside?!

No, trigger techniques that
require an incantation first

have a very small chance of malfunctioning.

That magic was quite impressive.

That one just happened to fail!

Then, how about this one?!

Spirit summoning!

Come, w*r Gnome!

Superior spirit of the earth,
the source of all things!

I see, I see.

Indeed, demons are strong against angels,

angels are strong against spirits,

and spirits are strong against demons.

If one had to make a choice
in such a three-way stand-off,

summoning a superior spirit
would be the correct choice.

However...

What?!

You are too young.

See? You haven't amassed enough experience.

A blockhead with nothing but brute
strength is no match for me.

It can't be! That was a spirit!

A superior spirit!

D-Don't tell me...

You're an Archdemon?!

That's enough magic.

I want to test this body my
master gave me some more,

so I will change the plan a bit.

Anti-Magic Area?!

Why did you seal off magic?

Isn't magic a demon's greatest w*apon?!

Please, try any physical att*cks you like.

It doesn't matter if you're an Archdemon!

A demon that can't use
magic is no match for me!

Unique skill: Berserker!

Those golden eyes...

The red pupils...

Th-This overwhelming strength...

N-No! It can't be!

Are you... th-the Primordial...

Ah, you are well-learned.

You must be quite clever.

Wh-What kind of...

What kind of horrific monstrosity
has he unleashed upon this world?!

Oh? Are we finished already?

Well, I should report the completion
of my first task to my master...

to my lord... and earn his praise.

Notice.

The individual Rimuru Tempest's
Harvest Festival is complete.

Great Rimuru!

A Demon Lord...

Now beginning the bestowing of
gifts upon those connected to him.

Gifts?

What is this?!

This is...

The gift...

My connection with Great Rimuru...
feels... stronger...

Mas...ter...

Notice.

Go to sleep and leave the rest to me.

A Demon Lord...

Did he do it?

Notice.

I order you in the name of Raphael.

Beelzebub, devour all magicules
within this barrier.

Do not leave a single
fragment of a soul behind.

All the magicules...

were sucked away?

Are those... spirits?

An Archdemon?!

I have returned, my lord.

Under normal circumstances, I should
wait until the ritual is complete,

but please forgive my insolence in saying...

that it appears there are not enough
magicules to fully revive these souls.

Yes.

The amount of magicules here is insufficient.

I will expend my life energy in substitution.

Please wait, my lord.

There is no need to substitute
with your life energy.

I have an excellent idea.

Please use these.

They will be honored to be of use to you.

Nothing could make us happier.

Understood.

This will make it possible to
supplement the amount of magicules.

Your proposal is accepted.

Beelzebub.

Oh... I'm so envious...

Forgive me.

The required amount of
magicules has been reached.

Beginning the Secret Art
of Spirit Resurrection.

Appraisal.

The ultimate secret spirit art!

This is... a newborn Demon Lord?!

Even Lord Carrion couldn't do this...

Magnificent.

I must be accepted as his
subordinate at any cost.

Secret Art of Spirit Resurrection.

Secret Art of Revival of the Dead.

Carrying them out requires an
immense amount of magicules,

and the magic needed to control
them surpasses the imagination.

The probability of success is .%.

But that number was calculated
before I became a Demon Lord.

Now that the evolution is complete...

Next time, "The One Unleashed."
