As far as I'm concerned now, Velzard is just doing nothing meanwhile I'm working, great, it's like women get special privileges.
Whatever, I thought it's about time to meet the other demon lords face to face after such a long time and invite them personally to Walpurgis.
I decided to go to my favorite Demon Lord, Leon Cromwell.
I just can't get enough of that guy, his attitude is so likeable.
He's the definition of "misunderstood".
Sure I like to poke fun at him a lot, emphasis on a lot, but he is nothing like what people paint him, he's quite generous and kind.
Not that I care about that, definitely not.
I'm still on the quest on making him fall for my female form, no luck so far, so insistent on that one girl he calls "Chloe" or whatever, speaking of a Chloe, I did meet one names that when me and Velzard took those kids from Ingrassia to Tempest meanwhile Rimuru was out.
After greeting Leon's personal Knights and being allowed entry I sat with him in a private room.
He waited for me to start the conversation, and I just stared back at him.
Eventually he got the message to initiate the conversation first.
"What do you wa-"
"So cold, still so cold, you'd put Velzard to shame.
When will you get around to liking me more Leon?"
"Guy, cut to the ch-"
"Alright, whatever, I'll make you mine one day, anyways..
I'm inviting the Demon Lords to a Walpurgis, want to come? Not that you have a choice anyways."
To this I just saw Leon stare at me as if I was the most mentally handicapped person ever.
"Are you serious? You caused my people to get scared of your arrival for this? You could have used the ring you know?"
Ah the rage building inside him, I thrive on it, but he was right and I did feel a little bad.
"Eh, sorry, can't an old demon stretch his bones once in a while?
Anyways, you're coming right?"
Leon was still quite mad but kept it in.
"Sure, but what's the discussion?"
"New Demon Lord, my recommendation."
Leon raised one eyebrow.
"Well that's quite the statement you just put there Guy.. who did you find so worthy that you will go so far as to personally meet with all of us to make them join the Walpurgis?"
I smirked and told him.
"That's a secret for another time..
Or.. maybe.."
I slowly got from my seat and approached him and stood to his side and reached out to his face with my hands.
My heart shattered as I heard his iconic
"I refuse."
Before he slapped my hand away.
"Ouch.. you really are ruthless..."
"Say what you want, now, begone.
My people are already afraid enough of you, I can't let them hear that you came here to invite me to a Walpurgis.
My people get anxious when I'm not here."
Such a ruler, maybe Rimuru will be like him one day, actually nevermind, Rimuru is fine the way he is, just needs a little more frustration and more embarrassment is all.
"Well you got the invitation, you can't turn it down now, it should be held in a a couple of days, you'll see Rain or Mizery when the time comes."
I left, waving good bye to him, before heading to Eurazania, Karion's land.
"Ohoh! Guy himself has come, to what do I owe the pleasure, Guy."
Karion spoke in his usual tone, very gentle this man is.
"Just came by to personally invite you to Walpurgis in a day or two, can you pass the message to Frey?"
"Sure, I'll let her know, see you then."
Straight to the point, full of charm, I can see why his people follow him, he would he a terrifying man if he had equal power to me, but no need to worry about things that will never happen.
Next I headed to Lubelios, my total counterpart, Luminas, was expecting me.
I was immediately let through as to not let anyone notice.
"Hey, Lustful Vampire."
"Hello, Gender Switching Demon."
"Ouch.. how long did it take you to think of something like that?!"
"Someone recommended it to me, and yes, I'll be attending, now shoo, unless you have other business."
"Hm.. you seem quite... satisfied with something, aren't you?"
"How couldn't I be? I got myself potentially the most promising ally there is, one that is sure to satisfy all my needs to come, my actual duties."
"Did he impress you that much?"
"Are you joking? 4 ultimate skills, total immunity to physical and magicule attacks and being able to mind manipulate others, not to mention a skill that gives him near unlimited knowledge."
Ah shit, He spilled way too much...
It seems he didn't see her as an enemy, so if he thinks it's fine it should be.
"Interesting.. truly, anyways, I'll see you later, horny goddess."
Before she could react to what I said I just ran away.
Too close if you tell me.
Next, hm...
Dagrule? Or should I go for Clayman..
(Guy, it's me, Rimuru.)
(Yo, what is it?)
(Steer from Clayman, I have a little something of a surprise I want to get done before I come to Walpurgis.)
(Aha, you'll do something to him won't you.)
(You already know the answer.)
(Well, tell Milim to attend.)
(I'll do it.)
Well, shit's about to go down real hard, but I'd say Clayman had it coming, I really hated him anyways.
I'll just tell Dino to talk to Dagrule and invite him, makes my life that much easier.
I'm too lazy to search for the insect sized Ramiris..
Somehwhere Ramiris sneezed.
Eh I'll leave it to someone else, I'm sure she'll know through some spirits or something.
I returned to the Ice Castle and saw Velzard just staring into nothing, until she noticed me.
"Welcome back, Guy~"
She really wants me doesn't she.
Too bad I'm not interested right now.
"Guy-Sama, you have a delivery." Mizery came to me and I saw Rain struggling to hold a massive box up.
"What is that? Show me."
Rain let the box down and pretended to be dizzy from lifting such a heavyweight, classic Rain, any excuse to leave.
Me and Velzard got up to check the box, and found a Insectar in it, it seemed to be in sleep, as if it had been evolving, and we instantly understood what it meant.
'Iudex... all up to you now, buddy.
I can feel the game closing in..
Rudra, checkmate.'
Besides this, this Insectar was seriously strong, it had a weird feeling to it, obviously I hated Insectars since they were considerably resistant to magic, but this one felt different.
Unlike that Lord Zelanus who gave off an air of arrogance, this one felt much calmer, and it felt like Rimuru has blessed it or something, wait, I think I can see some of Rimuru's cells in it.
Wow, genius idea...
Well now all we do is wait until Iudex is released, and Walpurgis will commence, let's hope it will not take long.
