As the sound of the headbutt echoed between the walls of the huge room, Everyone ended up shooting Yuki a weird look as he always seemed to know how to come up with a weird idea, both in his fights and interactions…
'Maybe this one won't reject me like Leon' Thought Guy while licking his lips which sent a shiver down Yuki's spine despite him not staring at him, and this ended up distracting him as Luminous suddenly hugged him with a wicked look on her face and said "Got you" Before she activated her Unique skill: Lust.
This unique skill has three main abilities but the one she used right now was called embrace drain and it allowed the user to drain the life essence of anyone they embrace…
However, against Luminous's expectations, her unique skill didn't have any effect at all on Yuki despite her trying multiple times to activate it which created a weird scene and Ramiris couldn't help but comment "Did Yuki hit her too hard on the head to the point that she lost her mind?"
Frey covered her mouth and said "Maybe she fell for him" But just as she said that, both Leon and Rimuru spoke at the same time "Impossible, she's not that stupid is she?"
"Hmm?" They stared at each other in surprise before they nodded in understanding… They were both victims of Yuki's abuse which made them feel like kindred spirits…
"Okay little vampire, stop hugging me, you are making it more awkward than it has to be" Spoke Yuki while pushing Luminous away from him, although only Leon was thinking 'I wonder what he looted from her'
And he wasn't wrong as he saw the weird gleeful smirk on Yuki's face which was the same smirk when he was robbing him of his diamond reserves… Although other people interpreted it differently
"Pervert…" Muttered Luminous as she disengaged from him and yelled "Return to me Hinata at once"
Yuki tilted his head at her before he asked "Return her? She's staying with me out of her own free will"
Luminous froze suddenly before she shot Hinata a look and noticed that she was staring at her warily 'NOO! That look should be directed at this creep, not me!' She yelled inside her head and Roy noticed this so he approached Yuki and asked "Hinata, is that true?"
Hinata ignored the question and spoke coldly at Roy "Who are you?"
Roy shook his head at her "It's a long story for me to explain here…"
"Indeed, you can talk about your personal matters once this meeting is over" spoke Guy suddenly while winking at Yuki as if to tell him that they should talk later as well, and Yuki politely smiled at him before he picked Rimuru with one hand by the head and made him stand between him and Guy just in case…
'Maybe I should increase my defenses?' Thought Yuki and he couldn't help but shoot Leon a look and felt like he was also a suitable human shield but the latter was quick to read the situation unlike Rimuru and took his seat instantly 'This bastard…' Thought Yuki as he heard Luminous say to Hinata "I will explain everything to you later, I promise... Please trust me"
Hinata shot Yuki a look before she nodded at Luminous and the meeting soon continued with its final result being Frey and Carrion resigning from their positions as demon lords, and Yuki and Rimuru replacing them which fulfilled half of Yuki's task as he was officially a demon lord…
…..
After the meeting was over, both Ramiris and Milim kept nagging Yuki to tag along with them to tempest and thought that this was a good opportunity to introduce the dryads to Ramiris and extort them a little bit.
Although he had to first deal with Luminous that also decided to tag along with them, and she kept sticking to Hinata's side like glue to earn her trust…
….
"So, what do you want miss hard head?" Asked Yuki with a smile to which Luminous shot him a scornful look and said "I'm only here for Hinata, don't think too highly of yourself"
'This bitch, I was planning to be nicer to you but now get ready to get fucked' thought Yuki before he smiled coldly at Luminous and said "Oh really, well Hinata is my follower now, and without my permission; you can't talk to her"
"You dare stop me?" Spoke Luminous with a terrifying aura gushing from her body, but unfortunately for her, it attracted the wrong idiot as Veldora came crashing from the sky like a meteor and landed on one knee like a superhero before he said with a toothy smile "Is there any trouble here?"
'This is… What's this dragon doing here' Thought Luminous who wasn't on the best terms with Veldora as he was responsible for destroying her first country in one of his rampages and many other awful events that followed…
Seeing Luminous's reaction, Yuki smiled widely and said "There's, this woman is threatening me"
Veldora glared at Luminous and said "Is that true?"
Luminous put off her prideful look and quickly said with a gentle smile "Of course not, we are just joking around" While inside she was completely molding 'I hate this fucking guy, how can Hinata work for him and not go insane' she thought while glaring at Yuki who had a weird smile on his face as he raised his right hand and slicked his long white hair backward…
However, the moment he did this motion, Luminous noticed the familiar bracelet in his hands as well as the crescent moon black earrings he was wearing and she suddenly froze 'When did he…'
However, Veldora interrupted her thoughts when he said "I hope not, I will keep an eye on you" Before he disappeared into the distance while Yuki kept thanking him over and over with a sick smile on his face as he thought 'What are you going to do now bitch?'
Luminous swallowed down her anger and said "You win this time" If only she knew… The game was just starting…
After a bit more torture to the point that he almost gave her a trauma from him, Luminous finally explained the true situation of Ruberious to Hinata and it being a hidden base of vampires that lived underground and Luminous being the 'god' the people worshipped which left her shocked…
Then Yuki started to negotiate with her about the other knights that were following Hinata during her attack on tempest and he made sure to extort her as much as he could…
…..
While this was going on, Rimuru under Yuki's orders led an army to invade Clayman's territory. He wasn't going to let anyone reap the benefits of his hard work. Especially since Clayman was quite rich as both a demon lord, and an evil one at that, and a member of the harlequin moderate alliance so he amassed an astonishing amount of wealth which Yuki wasn't going to give up on and he was also planning to make that territory as his own…
Meanwhile, the members of the harlequin moderate alliance as well as Kagali instinctively felt Clayman's death and they couldn't help but lament the loss of this little brother of theirs whom they liked despite how the world hated him for his cruel actions and manipulative behavior…
"Why didn't you follow my advice Clayman… Why?" Muttered Laplace with an ugly look on his face… Clayman's smugness kept him believing that even if he faces someone stronger than him, he could always resurrect after his death… However, he didn't expect his very soul would be absorbed by a monster and his spirit…
The other members were also pained emotionally by this and they all vowed to kill whoever was responsible for their friend's death….
....
The next morning, News spread like wildfire about the changes that happened among the ranks of the demon lords as well as the two new additions.
'Luminous should stop being our enemy after this, although I'm not sure if the other western nations are smart or not' thought Yuki calmy before he suddenly heard a loud eagle's screech so he left his house and right after, an enormous bird came flying in his direction and directly crashed its giants head into his chest and kept rubbing it on him
Yuki had a delighted look on his face as he patted the giant eagle and said "Dariun, you finally recovered, I'm glad"
Dariun kept bragging about how tough he was until Shizue came out of the house as well and jumped on him to give him a hug with a tearful look in her eyes as she kept thanking him for fighting for her to the bitter end which embarrassed the previously smug bird.
….
Meanwhile, in the kingdom of Siltrosso, a man and his granddaughter were facing each other and soon one of them spoke "Mariabell, what do you think? their power seems to be beyond our expectations, they should be really strong considering they could even beat Hinata and they both got acknowledged to be demon lords…."
The little girl's eye shined with a terrifying light full of greed as she said "Don't worry, maybe we could make use of our nice little pawn Yuuki, I don't think he and his guild can sit back and tolerate the birth of such a huge nation of unhinged monsters"
Granbell smiled slightly and said "That's just what I was thinking…"
Maribell grinned eerily and said "Don't worry grandpa, maybe we should do it even sooner, I can't wait to control them with my unique skill and make them kill each other"
Granbell nodded at her before he said "The church's seven clerics are officially on our side so we can rely on them as well, we can also create an unsolvable hatred between the holy empire and this tempest country"
Countless evil schemes kept getting exchanged between this grandpa and granddaughter that would make anyone feel a chill running through their backs…
….
Yuki didn't know about any of this, and he was mainly focused on his remaining tasks which were to become a hero in the public's eye and to gain one more friend and he decided to do both at the same time as he made his way back to Sarion while riding on top of Dariun and muttered "Time to save the elf empress... from Black death!"
