ch 8 < Orc Disaster and Harvest Festival >

Soon, Karna and Rimuru stood in front of the Orc Lord.

"Rimuru, I'll take the offense. You provide support and use long-range attacks," Karna said.

"Tsk, he's a battle maniac," Rimuru thought, shaking his head but smirking.

"Chaos Eater!" shouted Geld, as a giant snake made of red energy surged towards Karna.

Karna used his unique skill, Purification, to create a shield of pure energy, blocking the incoming attack. As the giant snake reached Karna's shield, the attack was purified into harmless light.

"Black Lightning," Rimuru said, and dark thunder crashed down from the sky, dealing critical damage to Geld. His skin was horribly burned, but his regeneration quickly healed the wounds.

Geld retaliated with Death March Dance, hurling multiple pink magic orbs at Rimuru, who absorbed them using Predator.

Seizing the distraction, Karna dashed forward and punched Geld in the face, creating a massive shockwave that sent Geld flying meters away. The ground trembled from the impact.

Geld stood up, clutching his head and glaring at Karna. "I'm going to devour you all!" he roared, focusing on Karna and Rimuru.

"Hell Flare!" Rimuru unleashed a large-scale magic attack, which Geld blocked by sacrificing his left arm. Karna followed up with Holy Cannon, destroying a large portion of Geld's chest along with his other arm.

"Wow, our lords are toying with a Demon Lord," Shion said, her eyes sparkling as she watched from a safe distance.

"His regeneration consumes a massive amount of magicules," Karna remarked, watching Geld regrow his chest and arms.

After regenerating, Geld fired a barrage of pink orbs at Karna and Rimuru. Karna countered with Fire Spirit Magic, launching explosive fireballs at the orbs. An explosion ensued, creating a thick cloud of smoke.

Using the smoke as cover, Rimuru dashed towards Geld, coating his sword with black fire. He swiftly cut off Geld's leg, causing the Orc Lord to stumble. Karna charged through the smoke, his hand glowing with pure magicules, and pierced Geld's chest.

"Holy Fire!" Karna muttered as a bright light burst from Geld's chest, blowing apart his heart and chest. Geld was blown away again, low on magicules and struggling to recover his lost body parts. As he lay on the ground, visions of his people came before his eyes.

With sheer determination, Geld stood on his feet again, ready to fight to the last breath. Karna used Overblade, swiftly severing all of Geld's limbs.

< Overblade, when an attacker coats Spiritrons on a sword, made the strike exceptionally powerful. >

Karna refrained from finishing Geld off, knowing Rimuru needed to absorb him.

"The Orc Disaster stands no chance. It's almost pitiful to watch this fight," Benimaru remarked, devoid of any pity on his face.

"Rimuru, use Predator on Geld. He's almost out of magicules," Karna instructed.

Rimuru nodded and approached the crippled Orc Lord. "It's over, Geld," he said.

Rimuru activated Predator, and an intense eating battle began. Geld's remaining magicules were quickly consumed, and his body start getting absorbed.

Geld used his corrosion on Rimuru, but Rimuru quickly regenerated.

It took a while for Rimuru's slime body to completely cover Geld.

As the Orc Disaster was finally predicated, the slime turned back into his human form.

As the last remnants of the Orc Lord vanished, the battlefield fell silent. Karna and Rimuru stood victorious, their eyes scanning the horizon for any lingering threats.

"Our lords have done it again," Shion said with a proud smile.

"Let's move on," Rimuru said, turning to his comrades.

Everyone then cheered Rimuru's victory.

Rimuru got starved and used Unique skill 'degenerate' to combine it with 'predor'.

< Unique skill 'gluttony' has been acquired>

While I got:

Hercules strength

Flight Magic

Barrier magic

Data of unique skill 'gluttony' got stored in the system..

While that was happening, I appeared in front of the son of the Orc Disaster.

He was startled by my appearance, so I calmed him down.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you.

""Huh?" He looked confused.

"We will be having a meeting in the Lizardmen Chieftain's throne room. You, as the son of the Orc Disaster, will be required to attend.

You will be representing the orcs and can also bring some of your companions, got that?" I said.

< Because of Karna, Kijins and werewolves were stronger than the cannon part. More than 70,000 orcs were killed. >

Karna absorbed their souls and started evolving into a true demon lords.

< Karna then explained to Rimuru that he will be evolving into a true demon lord. He will be in evolutionary slumber. >

I then used teleportation magic to reach my home.

≪Announcement: The transformation into a demon lord, the Harvest Festival has begun.

Body reconstruction has begun, transforming into a new species.≫

≪Confirmed.Race: transforming from Demonid into Divine Demonid …successful>

All parameters have been greatly increased.

While I was evolving, my consciousness was still awake. I then combined Unique skill 'purification' with the power of light and 'life and death' with Harvest gift.

Ultimate skill < God of Nature Shakti > has been obtained.

While Karna was evolving...In the center of the marshes, in a temporary tent, representatives of every race have gathered.

Rimuru's POV:

From our side came I, Benimaru, Shion, Hakurou, and Souei. Ranga is lurking within my shadow as always.

<Rimuru explained that he made a promise to Geld will take care of orcs as they are innocent under the effect Unique skill 'starved'.< p>

And thus I explained that point further. My plan to create the Great Jura Forest Coalition. >

"Y-y-you'd permit us… to join your coalition…?" The orc general fearfully asked.

"You can work, right? I won't let you slack off."

"O-of course! We'll work as if our lives depended on it!!!" The orcs trembled, tears falling from their eyes.

"We have no objections. Rather, we'd like to aid you!"After that, Dreayd announced Rimuru as Chancellor of the Great Jura Forest.

After that, Rimuru took 10 days to name all 130,000 orcs, and they scattered all across Jura Forest, except Geld and his loyal members.

The Orc Elite have all evolved into High Orcs.

Rimuru named Geld's son < Geld Junior > after his father.

< Because of the coup done by Gabil, Gabil was banished from his home. He later joined Rimuru along with his sister and some lizardmen. >

Due to some mistake, he got renamed, and Rimuru named his sister Souka, who took a more humanoid form.

And all lizardmen evolved into Dragonewts.

Rimuru placed four Dragonewts in Souei's team, and those were Souka ,Touka, Saika, Nansou, and Hokusou!

< souka obviously fell for Souei >

They returned to Tempest.

"Gabiru, I want to leave harvesting Hipokte grass in the caves to you, how about it?" When I asked.

"Please leave it to me! This Gabiru will work himself to the bone for your sake!

And gabiru and his men were assigned to cultivate Hipokute grass in veldora cave.

One month has passed.

At Dwargon's place

After hearing the report of what occurred in the Great Jura Forest, everyone was so shocked their jaws almost touched the floor.

This includes Gazil, the King of Dwargon, who ordered Pegasus knights to prepare and then head to the Great Jura Forest.

< One week earlier, karna informed Rimuru to prepare various snacks, sweets, and honey. I specified that we can tame Demon Lord Milim with food. >

During his leisure time

Karna sensed Pegasus knights using universal sense and informed Rimuru. Rimuru ordered all executives, especially Hakurou, to come.

Rimuru and i along with our executives are watching from afar, waiting for the Pegasus knights to land.

"Don't worry if Great Rimuru doesn't want to fight, then I could just blow them away!" Shion declared.

Besides her looks, she really wasn't that sharp.

Rimuru's POV:

I completely ignored her suggestion.

[We will engage if they strike first].

< Hai ! Everyone replied through thought communication >

"The Pegasus knights finally landed, but this time King Gazell and my aim is to make a cooperative relationship.

This will help us in the long run.

< Karna thought >

"It's been a long time, slime," gazil greeted.

"Indeed it was, but what business does the King of Dwargon have in such a place?" Rimuru asked.

"Nice sword," he said while looking at my sword, and then he continued talking.

"I know how strong you are, but I need to determine if you are a threat!" he declared as a brave king.

"Fight me in a swordfight and show me that blade was not just decoration," gazil finished pointing his blade at rimuru.

I guess this is a good opportunity to make a statement that I am not an evil being and I am not a threat.

"Fine, I accept your challenge.""Come at me anytime," rimuru said provocatively.

As a leader of a nation, I should not back away from such a challenge. And I'm not a novice who doesn't know about fighting or technique.

< karna tought rimuru about all the etiquette of a ruler >.

In fact, rimuru and karna has copied most of Hakurou's arts and techniques while we were sparring.

"Here I go!" Gazel said while coming at rimuru.

King Gazelle launched his attacks with great power, but I knew exactly where he was aiming.

By speeding up my perception to a million times, I could see all of his attacks and even predict the future.

I used Hakurou's refined Sword and used steel strength and sprint to counter Gazelle's strikes with my sword.

King Gazelle fell back and was surprised at what I did.

"Thunder of Heaven and Earth," he said. He disappeared instantly.

[Report: It was Extra skill {Flash step}]

"So he learned Hakurou's technique," I said to myself.

But what I did next surprised King Gazelle and even the crowd, which consists of the Executives and the Pegasus knights who are observing the battle.

As he launched his final attack on me, I raised used burst storm to instanly vanish from his sight and hit his sword . He stumbled back.

"What!" King Gazelle suddenly said.

"That's enough; the winner is Rimuru Tempest."

Somehow, Treyni-san arrived, and she declared me the winner.

Rimuru sighed.

"Isn't that a Dryad?" a Pegasus knight said.

Soon after, Hakurou spoke.

< That young body which got lost in the forest has turned into a splendid man. >

Gazil was happy to know about Hakurou and signed an alliance with us, effectively declaring us a nation of monsters.

So, the Jura Tempest Federation and the Nation of Monsters came.

Vesta joined our town and was given a space in Veldora's cave for research purposes.
