Ari POV
I walked through the forest to notice a road as it was new to see a town now.
Ari: So they already begun, The Orcs did really good well.
I walked as I arrived in town but I noticed that there are strong individuals here.
Ari: Must be the Kijins, as for them to have evolved into Oni already?
As I walk through as I see someone in my way.
Ari: Hmm?
Souei: Halt, who are you?
I should see where they are power wise as I stepped forward.
Ari: You seem strong, let me test you.
As Souei drew his strings which I let them catch me but I broke out too easily.
Ari: Good try but that won't work on me.
Benimaru: Then how about this!
He brought his sword down on me as I blocked with my fist.
It shocked Benimaru as I blasted Magic sending them flying from shockwave.
Ari: You guys are good but I've been in tougher fights than that.
Shion: Haaaaaa!!
I saw Shion bring her sword down on me as it was big as I caught it in my bare hand.
Ari: Not even close.
As I threw her away as I saw they are not strong enough yet.
Rimuru: What's going on?!
Ari: So you finally decided to come out, Rimuru.
I saw him as there surprised to see me.
Ari: Nice to see that I'm not forgotten.
Shion: Lord Rimuru, do you know her?
Ari: Yes, she is one of the founders of Tempest.
Everyone was surprised but the Hobgoblins were happy that Lady Aria returned, even Ranga came out as Aria petted him.
Ari: So what did I miss?
As everyone told me of the Falmuth attack, Rimuru becoming Demon Lord, Walpargis, Hinata Sakaguchi, and they returned yesterday.
As we are in the conference room.
Rimuru: WAIT!? Why are we telling you this, you were at the Walpargis!!
Ari: I know but I like to know everything first.
Rimuru: When were you gonna tell us your a Demon Lord at that?!
Everyone was shocked except for Diablo, Veldora, and Ramiris.
Ari: You didn't ask.
Rimuru: Oh forget it but your one of the Ancient Demon Lords like Ramiris?
Ari: Correction, I'm the first True Demon Lord before Guy.
Rimuru: You were first?!
Ari: Yep, I don't think Diablo really didn't tell you I was a Demon either.
Diablo: Kufufufu, now Aria, if Lord Rimuru had asked me then I would have gladly told him.
Ari: Yes, I know but now I'm back.
Rimuru: Yeah yeah, you missed the festival by the way.
Ari: Yeah I heard, dungeon was a great idea but also heard you ran into Mariabell the Greed, good job getting rid of her by the way.
Rimuru: It was nothing.
But what he didn't know was Ari was there to copy Mariabell's Unique Skill to evolve it to a Ultimate Skill, [Lord of Greed, Mammon].
