[CLAYMAN laughs]
You'll all regret making
a fool out of me!
I'll force you
to accept my retribution!
[cackling]
[VELDORA chuckles]
[RAPHAEL] Notice: there is
a distinct possibility
that Clayman is
thinking of fleeing.
[RIMURU]
I figured.
Look, it's already over for you.
So just surrender peacefully
and tell me who's been
giving you orders.
[CLAYMAN] There is truly
no end to your insolence!
[CLAYMAN] Fool! The moment
you dodge that...
[RIMURU] He's planning
to make it blow up in midair
and use it as a chance to run.
Sucks to suck! Beelzebub!
[gasps]
To be fair, I tried to
warn you it was already over.
[CLAYMAN gasps]
[GUY] Hmm? I see,
he stole my barrier technique.
He's very brazen for a slime.
[CLAYMAN growls]
[RIMURU]
Hey.
Do you think you could
take this seriously?
[CLAYMAN gasps]
[laughs]
You are indeed
a strong opponent.
I will give you that much.
Unfortunately for you,
I've only just begun to show you
what I'm capable of!
I doubt even you will be able
to withstand this att*ck!
Behold! This is
my ultimate technique!
Demon Blaster!
Swallow it up! Beelzebub!
No way! That shouldn't
even be possible!
I don't understand.
That was my ultimate att*ck!
How'd you stop it?!
[RIMURU]
It's no use, Clayman.
You're obviously
outmatched here.
If you give up quietly, and tell
me everything that you know,
then I promise to give you
a painless death.
[CLAYMAN laughs]
Yes, except I am a Deathman!
Even if you do k*ll me,
I will simply come back to life.
Sooner or later--
[grunts]
Ah!
Gah!
[growls]
--[RIMURU grunts]
--[CLAYMAN] Oh!
--[grunts]
--Agh!
--Raugh!
--Ah!
Looks like he used Thought
Acceleration on Clayman.
Well, I can't
blame him for that.
It's the punishment
that Clayman deserves.
[FREY chuckles]
--[CLAYMAN grunting]
--[blows popping]
[growling]
Clayman...
--[CLAYMAN gasps]
--I'll ask you one more time.
Who gave you orders?
Do not mock me.
I'd never betray a friend.
What's more, I'd never sell out
the identity of a client.
Yes.
That is absolute!
The one rule we honor
in the Moderate
Harlequin Alliance!
I see. I hate to be
the bearer of bad news,
but you won't be
coming back to life.
[CLAYMAN gasps]
Say what?
You're a Deathman, right?
So, I know you're planning to
separate from your astral body
and escape. Am I wrong?
[CLAYMAN gasps]
Wait!
Looks like Clayman
is unwilling to cooperate.
I'm going to execute him.
[CLAYMAN]
Wah!
Is anybody here opposed?
If so, I'll take them on.
--[GUY] No, have at it.
--[CLAYMAN] Huh?!
He's all yours!
[DAGGRULL]
Hmm.
[DEENO]
Mm.
[RIMURU]
Mm.
[CLAYMAN]
Ah! Hold on, please...!
I beg you!
[RIMURU]
Your death will be agonizing.
The brief moment you'll have
before your soul dies
will feel like an eternity.
Use that time to think
about what you've done.
Just spare me!
Don't do this...
Stop!
Please... help!
Footman!
Save me!
Tear.
I can't die here,
and not like this...
[grunts]
Please, save me!
Lord Kazalim!
Beelzebub.
[CLAYMAN]
Laplace...
You were right all along...
It would seem
I went too far this time.
I should have just listened
to the advice you gave me
and been more careful...
[CLAYMAN]
Truly, you were always right...
[GUY]
Well done.
From this day forward,
you are officially acknowledged
as a Demon Lord.
Are there any who would object?
[RAMIRIS] Way to go,
I knew you could do it, Rimuru!
[giggles]
[RIMURU]
Uh?
If you want, I'll consider
letting you be my new disciple!
I'm good, but I'm sure
you'll find some other sucker
for the job.
Say what?!
I'll have you know that being my
disciple is an absolute honor!
[RIMURU groans]
[MILIM giggles] Rimuru's already
got a bestie for restie!
So, he doesn't wanna
be friends with you!
Ack! Really?!
Milim's lying, right?!
[cackles]
You're not part of the
cool club, Ramiris!
Huh?! Enough!
--[grunting]
--Whoa! Oops! You missed me!
--[yelling]
--[giggles]
[DEENO]
It's all right by me.
Hmph. Well, personally, I don't
care who becomes a Demon Lord.
He can do as he likes.
Please, I disagree--
In my opinion, letting a lowly
slime become a Demon Lord
is insulting.
[VELDORA laughs]
You dare insult my
friend, you buffoon?!
What's up with this, Milis?
Your attendant is
acting kind of rude!
Shall I teach him
a lesson for you?!
[RIMURU] Wah?! What the heck
is that old fart doing?!
What are you talking about?
I'm afraid I'm merely
a humble maid
serving Demon Lord Valentine.
--[VELDORA] Hmm?
--[MILIM] What are you doing?!
Valentine is disguised as
a maid because she's hiding
her real identity!
You can't just go telling
everyone who she is!
[RIMURU]
You just told the whole room!
[LUMINUS growls]
[sighs]
[MILIM]
Uh...
[spitting]
You're a troublesome dragon.
It seems you've forgotten
my name, as well.
--It's not Milis?
--[MILIM] Oops...
Oh, Smith, then?
Or maybe Illis?
[LUMINUS] You've really mastered
the art of being irritating,
haven't you?
Now then...
You will address me as
Valentine, do you understand?
[VELDORA]
Hmm?
[RIMURU]
I knew it.
Guess that means the maid
was the real Demon Lord.
Leave us, Roy, you may
precede me in returning.
Please wait, Lady Luminus.
[LUMINUS sighs] Since my true
identity has been revealed
to all these people,
there is no reason
to continue concealing it.
[growls]
What's with the angry glare?
It's not like
I knew it was a secret.
Also, it was "Luminus."
So close...
What's more, I'm curious
about something.
When Clayman looked
at you earlier, he froze,
if only for a mere moment.
[ROY]
Uh?
I suspect he may be involved
with the insect who was lurking
in my domain recently.
When you return, tell everyone
to strengthen security.
[ROY]
Understood.
[LEON] Ah, I knew the name
"Kazalim" sounded familiar.
He's the Demon Lord I k*lled.
--[RIMURU] Uh?
--Wait, you know him?!
[RIMURU] It's more surprising
that you don't know him.
Still, I wonder who he is.
[RAPHAEL] Answer: One of the
names Clayman called out for
when he was begging
for help was "Kazalim."
Okay, but what exactly does this
Kazalim have to do with Clayman?
[CARRION] Kazalim was known
as the Curse Lord.
"Curse Lord"?
--Hey, Milim.
--Huh?
[CARRION] It was you and
Kazalim who recommended me
as a Demon Lord, remember?
[MILIM]
Uh...
Mm...
[grunting]
Oh yeah! That's who you meant!
I do remember the Curse Lord!
Yep! I believe he's the
Demon Lord that Leon k*lled!
[RIMURU] Guess it was too boring
for her to remember.
Yes, and if I recall correctly,
Kazalim was also a Deathman,
same as Clayman.
I'm certain they must
be connected somehow.
Hold on, if Kazalim
was also a Deathman,
is it possible he just
pretended to be k*lled by Leon
and went into hiding?
Yes, it's very likely.
From what I know of Kazalim,
he was always much sharper
and more cautious than Clayman.
[LEON] I don't appreciate you
saying it like I let him escape.
I merely defeated the man
and took his status for myself.
Whether he is still alive or not
is of no concern to me--
I honestly couldn't care less.
You know, that lackluster
attitude of yours is probably
why Clayman hated you so much.
[LEON]
Hmph. I don't care.
Some of Clayman's buddies
were a group called
the Moderate Harlequin Alliance.
The jesters implied that some
of the people helping them
were humans, so there's probably
a good chance that Kazalim
was reincarnated somehow and has
possessed a human as a disguise.
Actually, I think
you're right on the mark.
--[RIMURU] Uh?
--[GUY] Leon's att*ck destroys
the mind as well as the body.
It might even be worth
commending Kazalim
for surviving
something like that.
If it's true though, it's far
too quick a resurrection.
[gasps] Hold up, are you
trying to say you think
someone helped Kazalim?
Yes, that's what I mean.
[RIMURU]
Huh... Well, in any case,
I'll act under the assumption
that Kazalim has returned,
and remain vigilant.
I'm sure he'll probably
have it out for me
since I k*lled
Clayman or whatever--
Agh!
[groans]
[MILIM giggles]
Don't be silly, Rimuru!
You're a lot stronger
than him now!
You've got nothing to
worry about from Kazalim!
[RIMURU]
Ugh! That kind of complacency
is what leads to defeat!
[RIMURU] That's right.
I can't get complacent, either.
It'd be one thing
if it was just me,
but now there are people who
are counting on my protection.
Now, the topics of this
meeting were set to be about
Carrion's betrayal
and the rise of Rimuru
to a Demon Lord, but it seems
those matters have been settled.
Are there any other topics
that need to be addressed?
I have one.
Although to be honest, it's more
of a request on my part.
Go on.
[FREY] I've decided I'm going
to serve Milim from here on out.
[MILIM gasps]
Ah?!
Wait, really?
Uh...? Huh?
In fact, I'd like to
completely relinquish my status
as Demon Lord.
Well, Frey, this seems
rather sudden.
Wait a minute!
I haven't heard anything
about this decision!
Yes. Because I didn't tell you.
Hmm. But... I have
my reasons for this.
The top one being that
I no longer believe I have
the necessary strength
to be a Demon Lord.
[gasps]
Watching the battle today
helped to convince me of that.
Had I fought Clayman,
we would have been
evenly matched at best.
And against Clayman's
awakened form,
I'm positive I wouldn't
have stood a chance.
[DAGGRULL]
But Frey...
Everyone here knows that
high-speed battles in the air
are your specialty.
I see no reason for you
to put yourself down so much.
[FREY] It's true that
I would have the advantage
in aerial combat. However,
today, I realized that
simply having the advantage
is not always enough.
And as for you, Milim.
You can't continue to make
selfish demands forever.
[MILIM groans]
[FREY] Isn't it past time
that you start thinking about
how to manage
your own domain?
Well? Will you accept
my proposal?
But... it's not really
my style to have subordinates
under my rule, you know?
Surely there's somewhere
else you'd rather go.
[CARRION]
Wait just a moment.
As long as we're
on this subject,
there's something
I'd like to say.
As you know, I also fought
Milim one-on-one and lost.
So I believe I should submit
to her completely, as well.
Ah?!
Ooh!
With that said, I'm going to be
your faithful subordinate
starting today.
It's all you, Boss! All right?!
Wait just a second, Carrion!
I only fought you because I was
being controlled by Clayman!
I swear I don't
even remember it!
You're not fooling anyone here.
--It's true!
--You said it yourself!
"You really thought
I could be controlled by
such a pathetic trinket?"
We were all standing
right there, you know!
[MILIM groans]
Oh, you guys heard that, huh...?
Listen, I don't
particularly care
what that muscle-bound idiot
does, but you'll accept me,
won't you, Milim?
[MILIM gasps] Hold on, Frey,
this isn't some kind of
weird trick on your part, is it?
A trick?
Yeah, 'cause... If you
were my subordinate,
you wouldn't talk to me as
a friend anymore, would you?
And then you wouldn't play with
me or think up naughty schemes
with me anymore...
Not true. Actually, I'd be able
to stay with you all the time.
Then we'd be able to do
even more fun things together.
[MILIM gasps]
[CARRION]
And besides...
This is only happening because
you ruined our
kingdom, remember?
Naturally, you're obligated
to take care of my people.
[MILIM whimpers]
[grunting]
[MILIM]
Agh! Okay, fine!
You two can do whatever you
want, I don't even care anymore!
All right!
But are you sure
this is what you want?
Believe it or not, I put
a lot of thought into this.
I'm not saying I'll step down
from ruling Eurazania
or anything.
I just want to come up with
a new order that puts Milim
at the top of it all.
Whoa, steady there, kiddo.
[GUY] You know,
I really liked you, Carrion.
I had high hopes that, given
a few more centuries or so,
you would've
eventually awakened.
Fine, then.
As of right now,
Frey and Carrion are
no longer Demon Lords.
Per your requests, the two of
you are now free to serve Milim
however you like.
[FREY giggles]
[CARRION chuckles]
[gasps, whines]
So, uh, hey...
Doesn't that mean
the "Ten Great Demon Lords"
are now just
the "Eight Great Demon Lords"?
What?
Yes, you're correct.
As a matter of dignity, I
suppose we shall simply have to
come up with
a new name for ourselves.
But fortunately for us, we are
still in the midst of Walpurgis.
All the Demon Lords are present,
so I'm positive that we can
come up with a formidable idea.
[DEENO] We went through hell
over this last time.
We had to hold Walpurgis
over and over just so we could
decide on a name that worked.
You hold Walpurgis over a dumb
issue like picking a name
for your Demon Lord club?!
[RIMURU]
Are they that bored?!
Oh. You're talking about names?
If that's the case,
my buddy Rimuru is an expert!
Wah!
Veldora's right! He came up
with my Beretta's name
in no time at all!
It's true.
Naming is one of
Lord Rimuru's many talents!
[barking]
Ah!
Rimuru, you stand before us
today as a new Demon Lord.
Therefore, I'd like to grant you
this magnificent privilege.
I'm honored,
but I think I'll pass.
[GUY]
Hmm.
[RIMURU]
Huh-- Ah!
Uh...
[GUY]
I must insist.
You see, I am graciously
bestowing upon you
the opportunity to assign
us our new name.
[RIMURU]
Uh? Hhngh!
As you implied,
this is a tremendous honor.
It's my most fervent hope
that you will accept it.
[RIMURU groans]
[GUY] And I hate to
remind you of this fact,
but it is because of your
actions that we have
two fewer Demon Lords now.
So, tell me.
Will you assume the
responsibility of coming up
with a name?
[RIMURU]
Uh!
Uh, fine, whatever.
I can choose.
But don't get all mad at me
if you end up hating it.
Right.
[gasps]
[sighs]
--Hah...
--[sighs]
[RIMURU] There are eight of us,
so can't we just be
the "Eight Great Demon
Lords" or something?
Nah, I guess that's too basic.
Hmm...
Stars... Eight Demon Lords...
Eight...
The stars of eight...
An eight-pointed star?
An eight-pointed star
is an octagram, right?
[RIMURU] Hmm... There's
eight of us, so Octagram.
What do you think of that?
[GUY]
Hmm...
--[RAMIRIS] Huh...?
--[DEENO] Huh?
--[DAGGRULL] Hmm?
--[LUMINUS] Hm.
[MILIM]
Yeah! I think it's genius!
I hereby declare it
the coming of a new age!
Way to go!
I knew if anyone could pick a
fantastic name, it'd be Rimuru!
It's quite fitting.
Now I understand why
Veldora recommended you.
Hah! I suppose it works.
I'll grant you
a bit of recognition.
That was so easy.
Kinda weird.
Why the heck did we
put ourselves through
so much hell last time?
I'm fine with it.
[GUY]
I see...
Very well, then.
We've come to an agreement.
We'll be "Octagram."
All right. Then I shall once
again introduce everyone
in Octagram, also known as
the Eight-Star Demon Lords.
Demon, The Lord of Darkness:
Guy Crimson.
[RAINE]
Pixie of the Labyrinth: Ramiris.
[RAINE] Dragonoid,
The Destroyer: Milim Nava.
[RAINE]
Giant, The Earthquake: Daggrull.
[RAINE] Vampire, The Queen of
Nightmares: Luminus Valentine.
[RAINE] Fallen,
The Sleeping Ruler: Deeno.
[RAINE] Demonoid, The Platinum
Saber: Leon Cromwell.
[RAINE] Slime, The Newbie:
Rimuru Tempest.
That concludes everything.
[SHION laughs]
How wonderful! Congratulations!
[BERETTA]
Congratulations.
Congratulations, Lord Rimuru!
[RANGA howls]
[RIMURU] And that's how
I became part of Octagram
and one of the
eight Demon Lords.
On that day,
the curtain rose on
a new age for the Demon Lords.
[LAPLACE] Since Demon Lord
Valentine is at Walpurgis,
it's the perfect time to expose
the cloistered emperor.
[gasps]
[footsteps]
[LAPLACE]
Is that... the emperor?
[LAPLACE]
No.
Hinata Sakaguchi?!
You have some gall to
intrude on this sacred ground.
I really do despise
rats like you.
[LAPLACE] Whoa! What the hell's
wrong with you, lady?!
Curses! I thought they
were going to lure her
away from here!
This wasn't part of the plan!
[LAPLACE panting]
Demon Lord Valentine's gone,
but there's no point in
sneaking around if she's here!
[LAPLACE] There's no way I can
b*at that kind of monster!
[LAPLACE]
Aw, you've gotta be kidding me!
Man, I can't deal with this...
You insect!
You would dare show
your face before me again?
[LAPLACE]
It's you.
[ROY sighs]
All you insects are the same.
Do you enjoy
running away that much?
[LAPLACE]
What do you mean?
Another insect, Clayman,
d*ed only mere minutes ago.
[LAPLACE gasps]
Say what?
He was a foolish,
underhanded insect.
He tried to run away,
just as you are.
His death was quite
the pathetic affair.
[LAPLACE growls]
[ROY laughs]
Why are you so angry?
It has nothing
to do with you, right?
[LAPLACE]
Shut up!
Hey, is it true that
Clayman's really dead?
[ROY laughs]
Stupid insect!
Your secret's out.
The two of you were working
together, weren't you?
All is as the God Luminus
willed it to be!
[LAPLACE] What the hell
are you laughing at,
you pile of garbage?!
You would dare insult me--
[LAPLACE]
You moron!
[ROY grunting]
[LAPLACE] I'll make you pay
for laughing at him!
Stupid brute!
[ROY groans, growls]
[groaning]
[ROY]
You've gone too far, clown.
Now it's time to die!
You'll die by my Blood Ray!
[gasps]
It didn't work...
[LAPLACE]
Too bad.
You're already dead.
[ROY gasps]
[heart b*ating]
[gasps]
[LAPLACE]
See? I've got your core.
[ROY whimpers]
[LAPLACE] Took you a little
too long to realize that.
That's right.
I'm stronger than you.
[laughs]
[ROY groans]
[laughing continues]
[LAPLACE] Yeah,
Footman's gonna be pissed...
Yeah, Tear's gonna cry...
And me...?
I guess I'll laugh...
[laughing fading into sobbing]
[LAPLACE] Clayman...
You truly were such an idiot...
[sobbing continues]
[RIMURU]
It's all over.
Yes! You did wonderfully!
[groans]
Whew, I'm so tired. So tired...
Yeah, doing nothing
is hard work.
[RAMIRIS]
Hmm?!
[VELDORA]
Rimuru!
--Quickly! Manga!
--I know, the newest volume!
Give me a break, jeez!
I swear, it's hard to believe
how carefree you guys all are.
[RAMIRIS growling]
[VILLAIGERS]
Lord Rimuru!
[cheering, whooping]
[SHION chuckles]
[BERETTA]
Everyone is waiting.
Come. Lord Rimuru, Lady Ramiris?
Shall we go?
[howls]
[RIMURU chuckles]
[grunts]
[RIMURU] I was supposed
to have a completely ordinary
and uneventful life.
But I was k*lled in
a random stabbing,
then reincarnated in
another world as a slime,
where I built
a nation of monsters.
[RIMURU]
I saved my friends...
Defeated my enemies...
And at the end of all of it,
joined Octagram
as a bonified Demon Lord...
My name is Rimuru Tempest...
and I... am a slime.
