So yeah, Mikoto once again beat the shit out of an arrogant young master type.
Are you absolutely SURE Mikoto isn't the protagonist!?
(A/N: >.>)
Moving on…
The Orc Lord then killed Gelmud and is now in the process of eating his corpse out.
…
Fuck, wrong choice of words. God, where is that memory-erasing rune paper when you need it…
Disregarding my internal dilemma, the Orc Lord continues to eat Gelmud. Everyone is shocked, wondering why the Orc Lord killed his benefactor.
Rimuru- "The Orc Lord's intelligence is very low due to eating and gaining so many skills and powers. He's not meant to hold such a variety of powers, and thus his intelligence took a hit. He understood his benefactor's wish for him to become a Demon Lord and, with his limited intelligence, chose the option that will let him evolve the quickest. And that is to kill and eat a high-level majin."
Why did I explain everything? Well, for one, I wanted to flex my knowledge. I succeeded in that part judging by the shining eyes all of the kijin, goblins and wolves are giving me. Even Gabil and his men, disregarding how shocked they are, now understand what the fuck just happened.
Secondly, I wanted to explain to Mikoto specifically that Gelmud didn't die because of her. Regardless of her actions prior to this, she still has an aversion to killing. Sure, she killed many orcs, but that was only under the belief that I will keep my word and resurrect them later.
Which I will.
But since she forced Gelmud into a corner which made him order the Orc Lord to "do something", which caused the Orc Lord to kill him…
You get the idea.
Mikoto looks over at me with shaking eyes and a pale complexion. I stare right back at her and give her a reassuring smile while nodding. Mikoto looks back at the Orc Lord feasting on Gelmud's corpse, closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She opens them again and, while she still looks a bit pale, she no longer has shaking eyes.
That's good.
*Crunch!*
With that crunch, the Orc Lord finishes his feast and stands back up, his aura exploding.
<
And thus the Orc Lord's- no, the Orc Disaster's evolution into a new 'Demon Lord' has been completed.
Please note that I'm using the words 'Demon Lord' very loosely. He's not a True Demon Lord yet, I'd say he's on the level of Clayman, Frey and Carillion, granted, a bit weaker.
Geld- "Graaarrrgh!! I am an Orc Disaster, the devourer of all! My name is Geld, the Demon Lord!!"
Everyone around me is shocked at this sudden turn of events and becomes wary of the exploding aura of the Orc Disaster. His aura is even creating a slight wind pressure.
Meanwhile, I'm just looking at him with an impassive face.
Rimuru- "… Ok."
You may be wondering why did I let the Orc Lord kill Gelmud and eat him? Well, I'm going to use [Predator] on this guy and I would prefer to eat a half baked Demon Lord than an Orc Lord and a high-level Majin.
The kijin and Ranga then stand in front of me, shielding me.
Benimaru- "Stand back, Rimuru-sama. We will-"
Rimuru- "No, it's fine. You can't beat him."
A shocked look appears on their faces. They knew the Orc Disaster was powerful, but they didn't think he was strong enough to take them down, especially while working together. But if I were the one who said that, then it must be true.
I notice their expressions so I sigh while smiling wryly.
Rimuru- "Don't get me wrong, it's not like he can kill any of you, it's just that… Well, it's better to just show you. Mikoto, you still want some action?"
I asked Mikoto mainly because she didn't get the chance to take out Geld while it was still an Orc Lord and because Gelmud is a bit TOO much of a small fry.
Mikoto looks towards the Orc Disaster and hesitates, most likely because she's still recovering emotionally from thinking she was the cause of Gelmud's death.
Hmm… this hesitation could kill her in a proper battle…
Right. I've decided. After this, she's going through special killing training.
Barely a second later, Mikoto looks back at me and nods with resolution.
She takes out a coin, flicks it into the air, and begins charging. When the coin lines up, she flicks it with her thumb.
*THVIIIIM!*
A bright orange beam of energy hits Geld, the Orc Disaster, right in the forehead, piercing his head.
Everyone thought it was over at that moment… until the fire nation atta-
*Cough*
(A/N: You already used that reference you damn cringe lord.)
The Orc Disaster regenerated from the damage within 3 seconds. A sickly yellow aura in the form of tentacle-like things fills the gap in his head before turning into regular skin.
My tentacles look cuter than yours.
Rimuru- "See what I mean? You guys don't have the firepower to take this guy out in one hit. You won't lose, but… you won't win either."
The kijin and Ranga stand down after realising this.
Shuna- "Then… what should we do?"
Rimuru- "You guys don't have to do anything. Just sit back and enjoy the show. I can't just rely on you guys for everything you know… also, I want to show you guys how awesome your leader is."
After saying that, I walk towards the Orc Disaster who just finished eating another orc standing to his side to replenish his energy and boost his regeneration.
He turns to me and raises his cleaver weapon. I, on the other hand, don't touch Yamato.
As much of an OP weapon as it is, I don't need to use it. Or rather, nothing will change if I use it. It can't stop Geld's regeneration. This just shows that sometimes, no matter how powerful you are, you can't deal with some situations by yourself.
Not that I can't deal with this situation.
So? What do I do?
Simple. If Yamato can't deal with Geld, I'll just have to make something that can.
And so, I hold out my arm.
[Creation]
Slowly forming before me is a scythe. It's mainly black but it has purple highlights. A purple chain is also attached to the end.
Rimuru- "Harpe."
The Noble Phantasm of Medusa Lancer from the Fate series. It's a chain scythe that has an immortal killing property. Meaning it can prevent healing of all kinds.
A direct counter to our Orc Disaster friend here.
It's also been scaled up in size to suit my body since the original user was only a child.
I rest the scythe on my shoulder as I stare at the Orc Disaster with a smile on my face.
Rimuru- "Let's start the game, shall we?"
