“Hey, hey, you clown over there, you're so annoying! And don't you dare say 'slime'!”
Just then, a small foot kicked Clayman in the butt. One second he was giving a passionate speech, and the next he was sent flying, landing on the ground like a dead dog. Luminous, with a small foot on Clayman's head, said with impatience on her little face.
This guy had been chattering away like a duck ever since they arrived. If Master and Shuna hadn't said anything, she would have already beaten him up. She had already reached the limit of her patience, and then this guy dared to say slimes were lowly and shameless.
Instantly, Luminous couldn't hold back any longer and rushed over to kick Clayman.
“By the way, Big Sister, how do you manage to hold back your laughter? Can you teach me?”
The next second, Luminous, standing on Clayman's head, looked at Milim, the emotionless, doll-like demon, with curiosity. In Luminous's view, how could this barely capable clown under her feet possibly control someone as powerful as Shuna?
That was simply impossible.
“........”
However, facing Luminous's question, Milim, who hadn't had enough fun, continued to pretend to be controlled by Clayman, sitting motionless on the stone chair, causing Rimuru to frown. He thought Milim had really been controlled.
“You... Chaos... You dare to openly attack a Demon Lord! Who exactly are you?”
At this moment, Clayman, finally recovering from Luminous's sudden attack, struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at Luminous, who was standing on his face. This guy dared to attack him! If it weren't for the fear of other Demon Lords finding out he had controlled Milim,
he would have ordered Milim to kill this guy.
“Oh? It seems you're not so weak after all, clown. You actually woke up. Also, since you asked, then Luminous-sama will be merciful and tell you: Master bestowed upon me the name, Lord of Flesh and Blood, Luminous. Remember it, okay?”
Luminous, who had been staring at Milim, turned her head after feeling the movement under her feet. Her face was filled with a proud and happy smile as she told Clayman her name, the name given to her by her most admired and beloved Master.
“Luminous, Lord of Flesh and Blood, Luminous... Whose subordinate are you? How dare you attack me? Are you an uneducated mad... ”
“What, do you have a problem with that?”
Just as Clayman was about to say the words 'mad dog,' Shuna, who had been watching the show, raised her head, her emotionless eyes staring at Clayman. The powerful, Calamity-class pressure bore down on Clayman without reservation.
In fact, if Luminous hadn't suddenly acted, Shuna would have been the one to do it.
This clown-like guy dared to say slimes were lowly! Wasn't that the same as saying that Minoru was lowly? He was simply courting death.
“You... I... I... ”
Feeling Shuna's powerful and terrifying pressure, like an avatar of calamity, Clayman couldn't say anything more. He raised his head, looked at Luminous standing on his face, then looked at Shuna staring at him, and finally chose to remain silent.
Because he knew that if he said anything more, Shuna would definitely kill him without hesitation. As for ordering Milim to block Shuna, that was even more suicidal. At least, the fact that he controlled Milim absolutely couldn't be exposed.
At most, he would just act as if Milim completely trusted him and was willing to listen to him.
“Luminous, come back.”
Looking at Clayman, who was lying on the ground like a dead dog and didn't dare to answer, Shuna revealed a hint of disdain on her face and told Luminous to come back first. Shuna wanted to see what this clown was going to do next.
“Okay, I understand, Shuna-nee.”
Hearing Shuna's words, Luminous obediently nodded. However, before leaving, she suddenly looked at the shoes on her feet that were standing on Clayman's face, and her little face revealed a disgusted expression. Then, in front of all the Demon Lords, she walked onto Clayman's back and rubbed the soles of her feet hard, as if on a carpet.
After confirming that she hadn't picked up anything dirty, she jumped off Clayman's back and skipped happily to Shuna's side.
Moreover, Clayman was worthy of being a shameless, clown-like existence. After Luminous left, he finally got up from the ground and casually patted the dust off his body, looking at the many Demon Lords looking at him with a false smile on his face, pretending that nothing had happened.
After all, his main goal today was to kill Rimuru. As for Luminous, with the Demon Lord of Tyranny there, it really wasn't easy to kill her. He would wait until after the Walpurgis Banquet to have Milim take a trip to the Great Forest of Jura. By then, the humiliation he was suffering now would be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
“Ahem, there was a slight accident, but that's not important. What's important is that this lowly individual named Rimuru...”
Clayman, who was about to continue speaking, suddenly got stuck again. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. Luminous had appeared beside him at some point, and Shuna was also staring at him with a look that could kill.
“This lowly majin named Rimuru is just a foolish person who falsely claims to be a Demon Lord! I think he should be purged!”
Having changed his words, Clayman finally finished what he wanted to say. As he returned to his seat, Clayman subconsciously glanced at Luminous, who had already returned to Shuna's side. He had to admit that when Luminous reappeared just now, Clayman actually felt fear in his heart.
“Then, next, let the guest speaker explain.”
Standing at the edge of the conference room, the Primordial Green Misery saw that Clayman had finally finished speaking, took a step forward, and looked at Rimuru. As for Shuna, after she had just released her Calamity-class aura, everyone present had already recognized her as a Demon Lord.
“Clayman, right? You're not just a liar, but also a clown, just like Luminous said.”
Hearing that it was his turn to speak, Rimuru stood up and looked at Clayman with disdain in his eyes. Originally, he was still full of vigilance towards this Demon Lord, who had been playing the behind-the-scenes mastermind ever since he was reincarnated into this world.
But, after personally seeing the other party's clown-like performance, and after Luminous had stepped on his face and he didn't dare to say a word, he had completely regarded him as a clown who relied on trickery to put on a ridiculous performance.
“What?”
Across from him, Clayman's forehead veins bulged when he heard the word 'clown,' but he still suppressed his anger and pretended to ask what he had said.
“To be honest, I don't care about the title of Demon Lord at all. You saying Carrion instigated me is also nonsense. As for that human kingdom, they only attacked because of their own interests.”
“Who would believe such an excuse? Besides, you killed one of my subordinates?”
Hearing Rimuru's words, Clayman looked at him with a mocking expression on his face. Clayman believed that the Demon Lords present must all believe him, how could they possibly believe this slime?
"Myulan is still alive, and Luminous and the others know about it. Although Milim ordered me to kill Myulan, I let her go. Currently, Myulan is living well under my protection."
Looking at Clayman's confident expression, Rimuru turned to Luminous beside him and said. After Rimuru finished speaking, Luminous nodded, looking at Rimuru with a disgusted expression on her little face.
"Hmph! It was that Myulan who killed Shion and the others once before! Rimuru, you actually let her go. How annoying!"
"Luminous, thank you for your concern, but Rimuru-sama has her reasons for doing so."
Shion, standing behind Rimuru, heard the complaints in Luminous's tone. She stepped forward, ruffled Luminous's little head, and looked at Rimuru, saying she believed that Rimuru-sama's actions were definitely right.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Shion completely unconcerned that Rimuru had let go of the murderer who killed her, Luminous tossed her little head and snorted. She ran directly to Ranga's side, grabbed its fluffy wolf fur, climbed onto Ranga's head, and acted as if she didn't want to pay attention to Shion.
"See? Myulan, who you said was dead, is still alive, and Luminous's words just now also prove this."
"Hahaha! How despicable! Rimuru, do you think I'll believe that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Hmph, who doesn't know that the undead monsters within the Gluttony Empire have never invaded the Jura Forest? Given your relationship with the Oni Demon Lord, it's simply too easy for her subordinates to cooperate with you in lying."
Clayman looked at Rimuru with a mocking tone. However, after speaking, Clayman subconsciously looked back at Luminous, who was still sitting on Ranga's head, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she hadn't quietly run behind him.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me no matter what I said, so take a look at this!"
As he said that, Rimuru raised his hand and aimed it upwards. Then, a water sphere appeared before everyone's eyes, and a scene began to play within the water sphere.
"Plea... Please, don't... Clayman-sama!"
In the scene, a majin was sitting on the ground. A large hand appeared in the picture, holding a purple orb. Amidst the majin's screams, it was directly stuffed into his mouth. Then, the original majin directly turned into an empty-hulled floating whale wandering beside the Great Storm Vortex that had invaded the Jura Forest. The figure of the Great Storm Vortex was also present in the scene.
"Ho... How is this possible!"
Clayman looked at the scene within the water sphere, and his originally confident expression couldn't help but become tense. The scenes that played next within the water sphere made Clayman completely panic.
Two members of the Moderate Clown Troupe wearing clown masks appeared in the water sphere, saying that Clayman's army had been completely annihilated, and even the kingdom he ruled had turned into scorched earth. The plan had completely failed.
Furthermore, this loss was too great, and they should have stayed put as that person had said.
"That person, huh? It seems there's someone behind Clayman?"
Beside him, Rimuru's expression also changed when he heard these words. It seemed that there was someone hidden behind Clayman, constantly scheming something.
"This is the evidence!"
However, Rimuru then put this aside, looked at Clayman opposite him with a smile on his face, and said that the current evidence was enough to prove that everything Clayman had said was a lie, and that everything he had said and done before was deceiving the army.
Clap!
In the next second, even in this situation, Clayman still put on a look of being slandered. He heavily slapped the table, stood up, and stared at Rimuru, saying loudly.
"This is fabricated! You're actually using magic to create a fake scene to fool people. Can you not use these low-level tricks, slime?"
"Huh? Clown, are you calling me?"
Before Rimuru could speak, Lu Minghao moved his body slightly, jumped from Sally's head onto the table, and looked at Clayman with an unhappy tone. This guy had been saying 'slime' this and 'slime' that since just now.
This made Lu Minghao very unhappy, after all, he was also a slime!
"You... Who are you?"
Clayman looked at Lu Minghao, who suddenly jumped down from Sally's head. In his eyes, the slime on Sally's head was just the most common, extremely weak slime, and he only regarded it as Sally's special hobby.
But now, this slime actually jumped down from Sally's head and even showed complete intelligence.
"He's, well, Sally-neechan's master!"
At this time, Luminous, who was sitting on Ranga's head and waiting to play with Ranga, suddenly raised her head and looked at Clayman with a childlike voice. It was a pity that this cute and lively voice was so grating in Clayman's ears.
She actually said that the slime in front of her was the master of that Oni Demon Lord, and most importantly, that Oni Demon Lord, who was famous throughout the continent for her tyranny and slaughter, didn't object and even showed a proud expression.
Which meant that the slime in front of him was actually the master of the Oni Demon Lord. To be able to become the master of a Calamity-class Demon Lord, was he kidding himself?
This must be a joke!
That's right!
"Hey! You're called Clayman, right? Actually, I don't care about you targeting Rimuru, after all, you're destined not to be Rimuru's opponent. I was originally a bit interested in your clownish and ridiculous performance."
"But, you saying 'slime' this and 'slime' that makes me very unhappy, so I'm too lazy to watch your ridiculous and laughable performance anymore."
Saying this, Lu Minghao jumped off the table and transformed into a human before landing. He looked at Rimuru with a smile on his handsome face and continued to say.
"I know your goal is to get the other Demon Lords to join forces to kill Rimuru, or at least get Rimuru to start a Demon Lord war with you, so that you can take the opportunity to have Milim kill Rimuru, right?"
As he spoke, Lu Minghao walked to Milim's side, glanced at Milim, who was still pretending to be controlled, and showed a helpless expression. She was already so old, yet she still liked to play like a child.
But who told Milim to be his friend? He could only let her continue playing.
"So I'll give you this opportunity. You send three people, and Rimuru sends three people. Both you and Rimuru must participate. In the end, only the living can leave this place. After all, everyone is a Demon Lord. After all, why play tricks and schemes? Strength is what determines everything!"
"Also, do you other Demon Lords have any objections?"
Lu Minghao stood beside Milim, gently stroking Milim's hair, and asked the other Demon Lords.
