Slime Who Turned into a Demon King
29.Volume 7 part 4 END
He punched the one man he caught staring at his chest. That's Hinata for you. No
can off guard. What is he talking about, being myopic? Not that he doesn't have
Magic Sense all the time. But I think he's very sensitive to the eyes of that guy
wandering, huh? Better watch out. It's a little late for me, but...
After the slight commotion calmed down, Luminus slowly opened his mouth.
“Now... Seven Days Clergy, what reason do you want to make for this?”
We all looked up, wondering how he would handle this. Then
I got another message from Diablo.
(...Work done, Sir Rimuru.)
(Good. How'd it go?)
(Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh! All according to plan.)
He sounds pretty happy with himself. I don't think there's any more problems
in the end.
(Learnest. Report back here after everything is settled.)
(Yes, milord. I'm looking forward to it.)
Diablo closed Mind Communications and went back to work. I don't think he's anymore
blamed for the murder, then — which means I don't have to interfere
in how Luminous decided to deal with these Clergy people.
They certainly sucks, but he just apologized to me for
that's. Intervening further will only complicate matters. Better to sit
just come here and think about how to improve our relationship in the future.
As I was thinking that, Luminus made a decision. He was a judge, a jury, and
executioners.
“I'm punishing you all to death. At least allow me to
guiding you to the end of your death with my own hands.”.
(Already — have mercy on us!)
(It's only for your sake, Lady Luminus ..)
(I swear by the years of our faith in you, please.).
They clung to him in the most miserable way. She didn't
let them go long.
“...Death Blessing!!”
He spread out his arms wide, and then the hand of the god that was not
seen wrapped around Clergy. I thought it was the last act
from pity to his servants.
Only a warm embrace of compassion can I call it that, but
it turned out that it was far more cruel than that, turning the living into the dead as they were
happen. That was my first look at the extent of Luminous's power.
Thus, painlessly and too easily, the Seven Days Clergy, who had attempted to trap us all in their ruthless scheme, met its end. That
came so fast, I have to say. But here I am preparing for war
full against the Holy Empire. Instead, it is time to negotiate our relationship in the future.
It won't be able to stand outside like this, so I decided to change
location, hold some kind of victory march back to the city when I
guiding Luminus, Louis, and Hinata together.
Immediately, I saw Veldora return to the city of — and then I remembered.
“Oh, uh, sorry, last line of defense turned out to be unnecessary.”
“Ah, shit! I waited here with bated breath, all this time.”.
The news did not really shake his heart, but he had to face it.
So, everything is done — or so I expected. But so was Veldora
staring at Luminous, he dropped the bomb again.
“Whoa... !! You are! I remember you! I know I know him! You are Luminus,
demon lord Luminous! The vampire whose castle I smashed into pieces! Waw,
I'm glad I remember! Otherwise, it will bother me all day—“
He was stopped by the tip of the sword that Luminous had produced out of nowhere
knocking at his neck. But, like, it's too late now, huh? He just left
and prove to the world that the god Luminus is the demon lord Luminus
Valentines.
The paladins were, uh, not interested. They were silent, unable to decipher this
at once. Hinata, seemingly aware of this before, put her hand down
to his forehead and sighed, while Louis just stood there as if
he was on top of it all.
Hoo boy's. Time and time again, Veldora proved himself to be the greatest troublemaker
that I've known.
We all have to work together to hold back the enraged Luminus after that—
“This damned lizard! Scrambling my hair every time !!”- but that's a story for another day.
Deep inside Inner Cloister, Gren, the Sunday Priest of the Seven Days Clergy, is
waiting for his friends to return from their mission. There are some complications
with the removal of Hinata, leading to an emergency request from Arze.
Failure is not an option here, so Dena and Vena go on to join forces
them.
The woman was too excited for her own good. We need him out of
the picture before him blocks our plans even further. We should use
that demon lord, that god Luminus, if we want to become true rulers...
Gren has served Luminus for several hundred years with that secret ambition
in his mind, get rid of anyone who is too talented (and because of him
dangerous) to like. Clergy's partner under him did the job
they well, describe him as a faithful servant of the faith, and
it is easy to get them moving on his behalf. Luminus loves it, and
if he can attract the envy of others about it, they do whatever it takes
he wants them to do — just like he knows they will do it times
these.
Arze is on his way to kill Hinata, disguised as a Paladin
Garde after the real one has been 'dealt' in secret. Everything is in
his place. The disguise was a product of Dena's own magic; no one could
saw it.
The dragonbuster that he gave to Hinata is equipped with a
causing it to break down whenever he wanted. If it breaks when demon lord Rimuru
attacking him, that was enough to ensure his defeat. But he didn't
using it — and even worse, he started with the fight.
Hearing that, Gren decides that there is a change of plans. If Rimuru
kill Hinata, then great. If he didn't do it, Arze could agree
that deal. Then the Clergy could move to kill the eyewitnesses and
assuaging Rimuru, gaining her trust and making sure everything
walking in the right direction.
But the problem keeps piling up. Devils in the province of Farmus, Migam proved much more
stronger, and sharper than expected. Throwing that power —
strong, almost unfair strength — has instilled doubt in the minds of the journalists Gren had trouble collecting for the event.
A frantic report from the Saturday Priest, Zaus, who observed the commotion,
convince him to send Wednesday Priest, Melis, and Thursday Priest,
Thaluns. All witnesses need to be killed, and all evil is to blame on the devil.
Framing it as divine punishment for the cruel act of the devil that does not
it would be enough to paint Seven Days as the fair side of the conflict
these. Put everything on the devil, not on demon lord Rimuru, and everything
doin' fine.
If negotiations prove difficult, that's where the god Luminus will come. Rimuru wants to
establishing a foothold in the West - if he is declared a divine enemy, he will be effectively turned off from it. Clergy has more than enough bargain chips
to work with him.
Gren had read the situation perfectly. No one doubts
plan's success. If there is a loose end to it, it lies on
diablo the devil's insane amount of power was. But Thalun was second only to Gren.
alone in power, and with him at the scene, 'Sunday' was convinced that victory was theirs.
But none of them have returned.
What are they doing? He asked himself, questions
appeared on his lips. No one is there to answer except someone.
“Whatever the problem is? You look really upset about something. ”
(You... Why are you here.?).
Surprised, Gren turned around. Cardinal Nicolaus, a close friend of Hinata, has entered
room without permission.
“Yeah, I've made quite an interesting discovery, you know.”
(An invention?)
“Iya. It.”
Nicolaus took out a crystal ball containing Rimuru's message.
(Then what?)
“I have found evidence that this has been tampered with,” he replied. Disturb
the legendary hero was very rude to him, but Nicolaus didn't seem to be
care at all. An exasperated-looking Gren looks at the crystal; it plays a complete message, including the parts he thought were removed.
(...?!)
Seeing Gren's disturbed reaction, Nicolaus continued. “I have to say,
I don't really care what your purpose is. I don't even care if you
using the help you enjoy from our god Luminus
for your purpose
by yourself..”
(What are you talking about? Our God is a concept. Concepts at heart
we're all—)
“Don't try to trick me. I realized centuries ago that gods
Luminous exists. Lady Hinata kept it a secret, so I just followed her lead.
But as I said, I really don't care.”
Nor do I care about how you tried to use this god, Gren could almost hear Nicolaus say to himself. He opened his eyes
wide; Nicolaus returned his gaze with a serious-looking expression, his eyes were frightening and his emotions were as blurry as swamp water.
(You.).
“The elders are just as destructive as you have no place in this world.
Disintegration!!”
(No-?!)
Gren had no time to say anything, his face was frozen because
shocked when he disappeared into the storm of light particles and disappeared
from view.
“Cursed insects. You think I'm gonna let You harm Lady
With those parting words, Nicolaus returned to his study as if
nothing is wrong.
The good cardinal was more than just a Hinata confidant. He also
the biggest fan in the world. But for him, all these religions are other ways
for him to stay connected to her. This makes him a heretic, man
who do not believe in the highest echelons of the Papacy. His faith was not directed to
god at all, but a mortal woman.
In a warm, bright room, Granville Rozzo sits on a soft chair
and meditate.
“Nicolaus... Cursed you..”.
He opened his eyes, a dazzling disintegrating light burning in his mind.
I suppose. For Granville Rozzo was none other than Gren himself, the Sunday Priest and the leader of the Seven Days Clergy. He has the ability to send
his spiritual strength was to others, possessing their bodies, and he had just
transfer himself to another host the other day. Now all that effort is in vain.
Today's experience was a frightening one, even for him. If it was his true body, the cardinal could really end his life.
That only adds to Granville's anger.
But maybe it's time to pull away.
When he opened his eyes, he felt Glenda approaching his house. That
it means things are not going according to plan. It all failed.
As soon as she stormed into the room and saw Granville, Glenda started screaming.
“Sir Granville, we can't do it! There's no way I can handle it
that monster! It's crazy!”
He looked exhausted, like he was running all the way here from the battlefield. No
some doubted it. That is the truth.
“What about other Battles? If you fight him as a team.”.
“No, I say, he's not at that level. In battle, you know,
my nose is very sensitive to the scent of death. I decided on all this
trouble for me, so I pushed the battle on Saare's shoulder and ran away. Persons
it was a demon lord class enemy — might even be stronger, which I
know. ”
It sounds like an exaggeration of Granville, but he still hasn't accepted
contact from his Seven Days friends. He even sought their presence, in
somewhere in the battle there, and found nothing.
“No..”
No matter how shocking Granville was, it was an indisputable truth.
A few days later, the spies that he had scattered all over the country
he told him that King Edward had been deposed. Journalists on the spot
the events are all safe at home, reporting their accounts far and wide. Even
there are rumors from Blumund that Tempest is planning a big festival to
themselves.
Putting all these reports together, the only conclusion to be made is that
the Granville plan has failed. The Seven Days Clergy, including Granville,
it no longer existed; the good name of the god Luminus could no longer be taken advantage of.
Then his beloved Maribel gave another prediction:
“It's dangerous. Too dangerous. The city is too dangerous!” Granville failed
understand what this means.
“You mean the attacks of the angels?”
“No. No, Grandpa. That demon lord was trying to rule the world through
economic policy.”
Mastering the human world through their finances — it is a family goal
Rozzo, Granville's exact plan is underway right now.
“He is impossible..”.
“It's true. This is really gonna happen. That's why.. we have to destroy it.”
Maribel is not a person who likes to lie — at least, not until now. That
making his suggestions worth listening to first.
“I understand. Well, if that's what you're saying, I'm sure it'll happen.”
After all, Maribel is a direct descendant of Granville...
“It's pastu. Next time, for sure, it will happen. I swear on my name as
Maribel the Greedy!”
...for a girl reincarnated. Rozzos future hope, talented
with knowledge of the 'other' world and an unusual amount of power.
As long as he lives, Granville thinks when the flames of ambition start to burn again, the family
it can never be defeated.
Actually it's not easy, but I'm fixing the mood of the Luminus and
finishing the drama between Me and Hinata. Instead, as a kind of
apologies, they agreed to send a warrant for the Western Holy Church
which says we are not dangerous.
All of this happens because of how hard it is for us to understand each other. I'm sure
it's not the last either. But I think this is also a lesson for both sides, too,
a trial that we must strive to overcome and improve together.
The occasion also led us to reconsider the relationship between
Tempest and the Holy Empire Lubelius. For now, we agree to
sign non-aggression agreements and give tacit approval
not to interfere in each other's affairs. The whole, uh, 'thing' with
Veldora is an incredible problem, but it's actually meaningless in
my nose. More of a personal matter. Veldora, that. Not a Prahara-issue
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Luminus was obviously reluctant to leave her there, but I promised her that I would
will not intervene in anything involving the man, and he
reluctantly agreed to that. Besides, I have the ultimate Veldora skill, Lord of the
Storm, on me, and as long as I do, Veldora is de facto immortal.
Even if something comes up, I don't expect trouble.
Understood There will be no problem.
Good.
So yeah, it pretty much sold my best friend, but I served Veldora as a pawn
sacrifice to quell Luminous anger. I thought I heard something
along the lines of “Nraaahhh! Did you leave me?!” from him, but
I'm sure I'm just imagining something. It's his fault anyway, and I can't take him through all the little things. Somewhat sad, maybe, but it's all
part of growing up.
So, with a small sacrifice on my part, we have regained it
our peace. I don't know how this could work so fast, but Yohm
even ascended to the throne. The whole thing went well, I hear; Yang
all that remains is to wait for the day of the great coronation. It feels fun, look
all these problems fall at once like dominoes.
Then from that day on, we were officially accepted by the Western Nations.
Thank you for your patience! That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Vol. 7
Finally here, and as you can see, this also ends up on the long side.
I think my conversation with the editor I went like this:
“I'll make this one more compact!”
“Oh, really? But anyway it will run a long time, right?”
'No, no, there's a lot of parts that I cut off from the Web version, so it's gonna be
shorter!”
“You don't have to force it, you know. I've given up on it.”
But of course, as scheduled, the script began to grow into a thick book.
“U... When I write this, I think it looks a little longer ..”
“You say that every time, don't you? I've assumed a lot.”
I guess you could say we've built a relationship of trust at this point. Mr. I, my editor, can see everything. Has it been like that since
early on? I better not think about it too much.
So let's talk a little bit about the content. Because you are with Me
until now conscious, I often put spoilers in my closing words. Noth
this warning is important now. You don't see a lot of people taking
series in Volume 7, so I assume I don't need to recommend you
to read the real novel first.
I can't blame you for thinking this is a completely different story. Truth be told, the content is not
fits at all.
My claim that 'the whole plot is the same' is really starting to hollow, I
know.
That's because, when I change the progression of the story here and there, it becomes a no
maybe to keep things as connected as they used to be. So, around the point
in this story, I decided to rewrite things fair so
we can go back to the main line. But the bigger reason is because
the background of a particular character has changed a lot. I'm not gonna say
who, but even though his personality may be the same, his motivation and skills
the ones that are possessed by the characters are no longer the same.
Hinata, the star of this volume, is probably most affected by this. She might
looks like a different person from the current Web version, but this is
how he was originally. I recommend comparing it between the Web versions and
novel, but really, if you've come this far and haven't read the Web version,
maybe you enjoy sticking to novels more now. Take it
as you like!
The people involved in the gut-feel conversation at the beginning of this volume are definitely not
it shows up again, doesn't it? Don't worry — I haven't forgotten it. Beware of volume
next one!
Although now, I think something's starting to slip on some
big reader. What?”The author doesn't know what's going on'? No it's not that.
More like 'Author doesn't intend to write a Web version anymore.”
Indeed, it is true that sticking to the Web version may be
the missing cause. However, with Volume 7, I want to think I succeeded

writing this, I thought that maybe, with luck, I could keep

depends on how I feel about it when I start writing,
but still.
So yeah, maybe I'm not the most careful planner with things like
this, but hopefully you still want to follow me. See you at the volume
next one!
