Watching Clayman's serious demeanor, Rimuru said, speechless.
""If that's the case, then show me the evidence.""
""Everything you've said is just something you made up, isn't it?""
Clayman was so angry he became embarrassed. "Shut up, you lowly Slime who released the Evil Dragon without permission. How could someone like you become a Demon Lord?"
Rimuru scoffed. "What does this have to do with being a Slime? Besides, Veldora is my friend, and rescuing a friend is only natural."
""Do you have anything else to say? My time is limited, so you'd better hurry.""
""Hmph!""
Clayman snorted coldly. "Then you also took my subordinates for yourself; that is simply despicable!"
""Hehe!""
Rimuru shook his head and laughed contemptuously.
At this moment, Mjurran stepped forward directly and revealed how Clayman had deceived and controlled her for three hundred years.
Everyone present was a big shot and could see at a glance that Mjurran's mind was not under control at this moment.
Clayman's face turned ugly, and he was rendered speechless by the retort.
""Even if I took your subordinates, that is our personal grievance.""
""So, are you prepared to die?!""
Rimuru's expression was serious, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
He waved his hand at the round table, and the huge round table suddenly emitted a purple light, then turned into specks of starlight and disappeared, clearing the area instantly.
Thinking Rimuru was preparing to attack him, Clayman stepped back quickly.
Dino, who was sleeping on the table, lost the support of the table and simply lay on the ground to continue sleeping.
Susu picked up the manga book and placed Ramiris on her calves.
The remaining Demon Lords watched in silence.
""Everyone, are you just going to watch him act so recklessly?""
""This is a contempt for us Demon Lords. Shouldn't we join forces to sanction this guy?""
Clayman continued to incite the crowd excitedly.
Carrion sighed deeply. "Clayman, when it comes down to it, this is all a personal grievance between you and Rimuru. Why should we get involved?"
""But this guy triggered the Holy War!""
Clayman said indignantly, "He is the culprit. How can you stand by and watch?"
""That is just what you think.""
Frey's eyes were indifferent, like a proud, solitary queen.
""What do you mean by that?""
Clayman was stunned.
""The Holy War is already over. Everything was a conspiracy by the Seven Luminaries and has nothing to do with Rimuru.""
Just a moment ago, the Three Beastmen, Lucia, and Clea had sent a message to them through the connection of the Soul Corridor.
Rimuru even waved his hand toward the sky above the venue, projecting the scene of the battlefield before everyone's eyes.
Frey and Carrion's Soul Corridor connections with their subordinates were not deep, unlike Rimuru, who had already awakened as a Demon Lord, and whose Soul Corridor was perfectly connected.
At this moment, through the connection with Orc Lord Geld and Gabiru, Rimuru directly presented what they had experienced.
...
On the battlefield, the six Seven Luminaries were slaughtering the Holy Knight Order.
Benimaru, who had been watching from a distance and waiting for Lord Draco to make a move, thought this anticlimactic battle could finally end.
Unexpectedly, Lord Draco left.
Well, it turns out he just came by to take a look.
Albedo flashed in front of Benimaru, and the cadres of Nazarick immediately saluted. "Lady Albedo."
""Hmm.""
Albedo nodded.
Benimaru looked puzzled. "Lady Albedo, why did Lord Draco leave?"
""Master has matters to attend to. As for what exactly, I do not know.""
Albedo nodded slightly and turned her head to look the other way, her expression serious.
""However... before Master left, he instructed that this battle could be ended. Everyone who should have come out has come out.""
Hearing this, Shion's face revealed an excited smile. "Really? Then I'm going to make my move."
As she spoke, Shion raised her fists and ran toward the battlefield at full speed.
A surge of power welled up from within Shion's body, and the characteristic of body enhancement made Shion's melee combat ability terrifyingly powerful.
Before Benimaru could stop her, Shion's figure had already disappeared.
""This girl...""
Benimaru helplessly covered his forehead. "She really is never worry-free."
Now the goal was clear: just wipe out the Seven Luminaries. The command of the army was temporarily handed over to Albedo, so Benimaru did not hesitate any longer and led the various cadres to attack the Seven Luminaries.
...
""Surrender. As long as you let me erase your memories, I can spare your lives.""
The Fire Luminary shouted to the Holy Knights behind the fortress wall.
""No way!""
""Even in death, we cannot betray our faith.""
""You cultists, we will never yield.""
One Holy Knight after another puffed out their chests, using their lives to interpret the creed of a knight.
Renard, Litith, and the other "Saints" each formed seals to protect the Holy Knights behind them. If they lowered their defenses, these Holy Knights would surely perish in an instant.
They simply could not spare a hand to deal with the Seven Luminaries.
""Stubborn!""
""We have already given you a chance. Since you are seeking your own death, don't blame me!""
The Fire Luminary sneered, exchanged a glance with the Seven Luminaries beside him, and formed seals with his hands again, preparing to unleash powerful magic.
Suddenly, a chill struck from all around, causing the Fire Luminary and the others to shiver involuntarily.
""Hahaha, it's finally time for me to make my move.""
Shion was exceptionally excited. She had been dealing with internal affairs all this time and had never had the chance to find someone to fight.
The desire for battle in her bones could no longer be suppressed, and she could finally show off her skills.
""Slash Enhancement, Steel Strength Great Slash!""
The tachi was covered in purple aura as she swung it down heavily.
The terrifying power caused the entire ground to crack, and even the topsoil rolled up.
The Fire Luminary turned around in horror to see a giant blade scar charging straight at him.
""Oh no!""
Although he was shocked, his reaction speed was extremely fast.
He put his hands together and condensed several flame shields in the air. The blade aura struck the flame shields hard, and the aftermath of the explosion spread out.
Shion showed no mercy, brandishing her tachi again and slashing down violently, as if she wanted to tear this world apart.
""Flame Shield, Holy Fire Barrier!""
As the Fire Luminary growled, a barrier made of flames blocked Shion.
Shion's tachi fell heavily on the Flame Barrier, but it did not destroy this layer of defense.
However, Shion had no intention of stopping and continued to slash wildly.
The corners of her mouth curled up wildly, and her eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty scent.
""Burst Slash!""
""Moonlight Slash!""
""Ghost Slash!""
""Thunder Crescent Slash!""
""Hehahahaha...""
Shion roared madly, slashing again and again at the Flame Barrier, shaking the entire barrier incessantly.
The Fire Luminary frowned as he watched the increasingly dense cracks on the barrier, his face becoming increasingly gloomy.
""Damn it, who exactly is this person? How can she destroy the Flame Barrier?""
