Demon Lord Clayman's castle.
Gelmud and Clown Laplace, who had been fleeing frantically, had already arrived here!
Demon Lord Clayman held a glass of red wine, looking at the two panicked figures, and couldn't help but sneer, "Gelmud, Laplace, you two are truly in a sorry state!"
Facing Demon Lord Clayman's sarcasm, Gelmud and Clown Laplace did not retort.
They were indeed in a sorry state, a sorry state like never before.
But to have fallen into the hands of a great being, possibly an Awakened Demon Lord, they didn't consider it too shameful.
Gelmud still had lingering fears and said, "Clayman, you haven't witnessed her power. If you had, you wouldn't speak like this!"
Clayman took a sip of red wine, his smile still on his face.
"Powerful? How do I compare to her?"
As one of the Ten Great Demon Lords, Clayman, though still somewhat behind the other Ten Great Demon Lords, was nonetheless one of the great beings standing at the pinnacle of the World!
Even the 'Ten Great Sages' loudly proclaimed by the Holy Empire of Ruberios, Clayman disdained them somewhat.
"Compare to you?"
Clown Laplace really couldn't hold it in and retorted, "Clayman? Do you think there's any comparison?"
Clayman raised his cup and laughed, agreeing, "Indeed, there is no comparison whatsoever. How can the greatness of a Demon Lord be understood by mere mortals like you?"
Laplace: "..."
Gelmud: "..."
He truly didn't know his place!
Even if Clayman's intelligence was lower, he sensed something was wrong at this moment.
"Stronger than me?!"
He couldn't help but ask, "Which of the Ten Great Demon Lords did you encounter?"
Gelmud didn't waste words; a crystal ball immediately appeared in his hand.
Everything that happened in the Jura Great Forest began to replay.
When he saw the combat power of Benimaru, White, and others, the smile on Clayman's face had completely vanished.
At this moment, his emotions were somewhat on the verge of collapse.
No wonder Laplace and Gelmud were so flustered.
Her few subordinates actually possessed such strength, so she herself must have awakened, she must have awakened!
At this moment, Demon Lord Clayman thought of a Demon Lord, Guy Crimson!
An undisputed great being at the top of the Ten Great Demon Lords, his two attendants, Misery and Rain, were both just a step away from awakening.
Blonde hair, wearing a mask, but this was not Guy at all!
Besides Guy, another being capable of controlling Demon Lords had appeared?
What the hell?
At this moment, Demon Lord Clayman's mindset undoubtedly collapsed!
What Demon Lord Clayman and the others didn't know was that while they were a den of vipers, deeply shocked by Rimuru, in the Jura Great Forest, a series of cheers also erupted from the great swamp ruled by the Lizardmen.
The Orc Tribe was also filled with tears of joy and sorrow; they never expected that after committing such heinous crimes, they would not only get a chance to atone through meritorious service but also receive food aid from various races.
Not only that, their revered leader, Geld, was also pardoned.
As long as their merits were sufficient, they could not only clear their guilt but even have the chance to be named by Rimuru-sama in the future.
At this moment, almost every member of the Orc Tribe was overjoyed.
They were even more wholeheartedly convinced by Rimuru!
After subduing the Orc Tribe, Rimuru couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.
For a country, vast territory is the foundation of a great nation, but a considerable population base is also crucial.
With a strong population base, even if it encountered a great catastrophe, as long as it was given a chance, it could rise again.
Under Rimuru's deliberate guidance, the various races' ill will towards the Orc Tribe continuously decreased.
Their ill will towards Gelmud and Clown Laplace, however, shot up rapidly.
In just a short while, the two of them were almost at maximum ill will in the hearts of the various races of the Demon Country Federation!
Almost every demon was filled with righteous indignation, a fire burning in their hearts, vowing to get even with Gelmud in the future.
As a king, how could one not listen to the voices of their people?
"A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late. But for us demons, revenge is from morning till night. How can we let the masterminds behind the scenes get away with it?"
Everyone: "???"
Meow meow meow, what does Master mean by this?
Are they going to capture Gelmud and Laplace?
But there's no news of those two big masterminds now, is there?
Just then, the demons were astonished to find that Rimuru casually waved his hand, and a large blue vortex appeared before them.
Through the vortex, everyone saw an exceptionally grand castle.
"This... this is..."
Everyone was dumbfounded, their mouths dry.
Could it be that the big masterminds Gelmud and Laplace were hiding in this castle?
But wasn't this castle Demon Lord Clayman's territory?!
Demon Lord Clayman, as one of the Ten Great Demon Lords, his territory and insignia were very widely known.
What was My Lord planning to do?
But just then, everyone saw Rimuru directly extend his hand into the vortex.
Then, that pure white, delicate jade hand grew larger and larger, covering the sky, directly pressing down on Demon Lord Clayman's castle.
As a Demon Lord, Clayman's skill mastery was not low.
The moment Rimuru's large hand pressed down, Demon Lord Clayman sensed it.
"Who goes there? How dare you!"
Slap!
Before Clayman could react, he was directly slapped by Rimuru like a fly, instantly flattened into a work of art, embedded in the floor.
Meanwhile, Laplace, wearing a white suit and a blue and white striped outfit with a red-nosed clown mask, was directly pulled out of Demon Lord Clayman's castle by Rimuru.
When Gelmud and Laplace came to their senses, they were already in the Jura Great Forest.
Seeing Rimuru's true form, Gelmud and Laplace were scared out of their wits.
To grab them from Demon Lord Clayman's castle across thousands of miles—what kind of method was this?
Could an Awakened Demon Lord do this?
Clown Laplace was no small fry; his true strength was extremely formidable.
Even among Demon Lords, he could rank quite high.
But he had no power to resist and was directly captured by Rimuru. It's over!
The clown's heart turned cold!
Where did this monster come from?!
Not to mention the clown and Gelmud, even Benimaru, White, and the others were completely bewildered.
This was beyond belief!
What kind of Master had they pledged allegiance to?
"There is cause and effect. Benimaru, Gabiru, Geld, your enemies are here. As for how to get your revenge, you can discuss and decide!"
Master wanted them to take revenge personally?!
Instantly, the Great Ogre, Orc Tribe, Lizardmen, and even the less related Goblin Tribe, all felt their sense of recognition for Rimuru rise to another level.
Of course, Gelmud and Clown Laplace also began to feel a glimmer of hope for survival.
If Rimuru didn't intervene, this situation might not necessarily be a death trap!
As 'four-have' villains—having ideals, morality, culture, and discipline—they were not the kind of trash that would give up easily!
"Come on!"
A battle of revenge, a battle of judgment, thus began.
Geld, the leader of the Orc Tribe, and Gabiru, the Lizardmen, undoubtedly went up against Gelmud, while Benimaru directly confronted Clown Laplace.
The battle was extremely fierce; one side fought for revenge, the other for survival, both giving their all.
But the results were not entirely the same!
Gelmud, who had been the most boisterous, was directly killed by Gabiru and Geld, completing their great revenge.
As for Benimaru's side, although he severely tormented Laplace, the deeply hidden Laplace managed to escape with his life by sheer luck.
Benimaru could only admit his bad luck regarding this!
It must be said that this battle once again delivered a heavy blow to Benimaru.
He increasingly agreed with what Rimuru had once said—Ogre Mage, merely a Demon Lord!
As for Demon Lord Clayman, he was currently lying on the ground, doubting his demonic existence!
Not only did he get slapped to the ground, but he wasn't even looked at! That bastard!
