The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 523 Demon King Carrion

Hong Wan has a trick that he is very proud of - Black Flame Prison, which is his strongest and largest wide-area burning attack. It was originally a trick that he was good at, and it became even more powerful after becoming a demon.

However, this move hit his self-confidence twice in a row today.

One time, there was no way to break through the defense of the Storm Demon Vortex, and the other time, the Storm Demon Vortex was melted by the white horse like a crushing force. Compared with the latter, it was nothing.

The scorching heat melted everything, not only the storm vortex that left them helpless, but also the passage connecting the Great Forest and the Dwarf Kingdom. A lot of soil would have to be filled in if they wanted it to be unobstructed.

Hong Wan couldn't help but think so.

Just as his mind was in a mess and he was thinking about something uncontrollably, Rimuru patted his shoulder and shook his head to comfort him.

Not to mention Benimaru, even Rimuru didn't get any information.

[Unable to analyze! Intelligence collection failed! ]

The always cold Great Sage seemed to have his own feelings, and his shocked tone shocked Rimuru.

There was silence.

Everyone was silently feeling the sudden rise in air. Suddenly——

"Ahhh!"

“——Wow! Lord Rimuru, what happened!?”

Hearing his master suddenly yelling, Hongmaru also subconsciously followed suit and yelled. Bai Lao, Shuna, Shion and others also looked at him nervously, mistakenly thinking that he was injured.

Rimuru held his head in his hands and shouted in disbelief.

"I forgot to ask Zun Zun to show mercy!"

Then he spread his wings and rushed towards the place where the Storm Demon Vortex fell.

Zun Zun and Milim chased after him, and Hongwan and the others also wanted to follow, but the flames of the white horse prevented them from getting close at all, so they could only wait anxiously outside.

Rimuru used his skills to swallow up the remnants of the Storm Demon Vortex.

Milim said with some disdain: “Although I know you are a slime, you are too picky about food. Can you even eat the Storm Demon Vortex?”

"That's not true!"

Seeing that he was misunderstood, Rimuru loudly denied that he did not want to devour the opponent to gain skills. To be precise, he wanted to separate the opponent from the Storm Demon Vortex and save him.

"How can a guy like that be saved?"

Milim pouted in disgust.

Zun Zun understood the reason.

“Rimuru, you are worried about being implicated. Although this guy was the one who started the fight, he is a subordinate of Demon Lord Karion after all. If he dies, he might suffer the wrath of the Demon Lord. Secondly, you probably want to know the cause of this incident, right?”

"That's right. To be honest, I didn't want to save him, but the situation forced me to do so."

Rimuru was also helpless.

After seeing Milim and Zun Zun, he had a clear understanding of how powerful the Demon King was.

Therefore, if possible, he did not want to create any rift between him and the Demon King, so he could only ask the Great Sage for help, with skills that were more sophisticated than surgery, to separate this guy from the Storm Demon Vortex.

"I just don't know if he's still alive."

“Rimuru, you don’t have to worry about that. This guy is indeed still alive.”

"Really!?"

"Yes. Although the Storm Demon Vortex has extremely strong magic resistance, and the foundation was resurrected by a strong man second only to the Demon King, my power should have easily dealt with him... Under normal circumstances, this should be the case."

Zun Zun looked at the woods not far away, which was not affected by the white horse, and he spoke loudly.

"If someone interferes, that's another matter."

"Oh, did you see it too?"

"The eyes of the Crimson Demons should not be underestimated."

Milim seemed to have noticed it a long time ago, and she even stretched out her hand to wave, signaling the other party to come out.

Rimuru looked at the man who walked out of the forest in astonishment.

He wore tasteful clothes casually, looking wild. His short blond hair stood upside down, making his sharp eyes more heroic. His muscles bulged all over his body, looking strong and powerful.

Looking at this tall man, there was a surge of power under his calm temperament. In terms of size, it was not as big as the storm demon vortex just now, but the fierce pressure crushed the latter under his feet.

“So you’ve discovered it, Milim.”

"of course."

"I think so too."

The man shook his head helplessly at Milim, who was proudly sticking out her breasts, but his eyes were mostly on Zun Zun.

It is suspicion, vigilance, and alertness.

If that move was used by Milim, Karion would have just smiled and ignored it, but this move was used by a man whose origin was unknown, so as a new generation demon king, he had to be vigilant.

“Hey, what are you doing!” Milim hugged Zun Zun like an octopus, “I know Zun Zun is good-looking, but he is mine! I will never give him to you!”

After saying this, he bared his teeth at Karion.

I was totally helpless with her.

That's it. The guy in front of me is obviously the oldest demon king, but she has the mentality of a child and no one can do anything to her.

She just felt like she had no place to vent her anger, but when she saw Milim's eyes filled with tears after receiving a stab wound from Zun Zun, she felt like her ideas were challenged.

“…Okay, it’s done!” Fortunately, Rimuru came to the rescue at this time. He separated Karion’s subordinates from the Storm Demon Vortex and eased the tense atmosphere.

"I didn't expect you to save him."

“Rimuru is amazing!”

“Yes. That’s the difference. Even though I can separate protons at the quark level, I can’t separate him perfectly. Rimuru, you can be complacent about this.”

“——Hey, is that so?”

Hearing the praise from the three people, Rimuru looked as if he was unworthy, but suddenly he shouted into the void, "Shut up! Aren't you my skill!?"... The great sage must be mocking him for taking all the credit for himself.

"I am... Lord Carrion!?"

After waking up, Carrion's subordinates looked at the person standing next to them and their faces changed.

He believed that he could not escape the blame for the mistakes he made and wanted to die to atone for his sins. He hoped that Rimuru and others would not implicate Karion, but after much persuasion, he finally realized that he was being used, and then told them who the other party was.

"Mysterious Yorozuya, Mediocre Clown Gang."

Rimuru thought about the force behind this conspiracy and looked at Karion with burning eyes, hoping that he would tell him the truth.

Speaking of which, since his subordinates were being used, he should be angry or something, right?
However, it does not.

Karion looked intimidating on the surface, but he was actually a calm person. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn’t say anything. After all, the Demon Kings had signed a treaty with each other. They had already learned this from Milim.

“Milim’s words… No, it’s nothing.”

"What? If you have something to say, just tell me. Why stop halfway?"

"Then do you know the Mysterious Yorozuya and the Mediocre Clown Gang?"

"……do not know."

Rimuru rolled his eyes at Milim who was scratching her head in embarrassment.

In addition, he did not ask Zun Zun. After all, he had just arrived in this world and had been staying in the town, so he excluded Zun Zun from the beginning.

"All right."

Carrion interrupted them.

"Not only did you not kill this guy, you saved him. I want to say thank you to you."

"I didn't expect you to come here in person. My name is Rimuru Tempest, and I am the leader of this forest."

Facing the suffocating pressure from the Demon King, Rimuru, who did not want to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, made a bold statement. In fact, Karion did not want to intimidate him or hold him accountable, his target was Zun Zun.

He hadn't taken his eyes away from her since a while ago.

"…Red Demon Clan Honored One."

"Ah."

After hearing Zun Zun's self-introduction, Carion nodded seriously, as if he had memorized his name. Then, he looked at Rimuru and simply lowered his head.

"I'm sorry. My subordinates seem to have lost control. It's all my fault for not supervising them properly. I hope you can forgive me."

“Wait a minute, Mr. Carrion, it’s my fault, so…!”

"You bow your head too."

The Demon King held down his subordinate's head and apologized to the slime.

This actually frightened Rimuru.

also--

"I owe you this matter. If you run into trouble in the future, just come to me."

As a demon king, he showed his sincerity to a small character like Slime, which was enough to show how deep his heart was. Faced with Karion who showed the greatest sincerity, Rimuru naturally chose to forgive and made a request.

"Then I would be happy if you were willing to sign a non-aggression pact with us."

"—Are you serious?"

Without any mockery or disparagement, Karion was already looking at Zun Zun and Milim who was riding on him like an octopus without any disguise. His expression seemed to say, "They have such strong power, but they choose not to expand outward."

"no problem!"

Carrion agreed readily.

"I swear in the name of the Demon King... No, in the name of the Lion King of the Beast Kingdom, Karion, I will never draw my sword against you! However, the premise is that you do not send troops to attack."

He promised readily.

I don’t know if this agreement includes Zun Zun and Milim. After all, these two people do not belong to the Great Forest to some extent.

...Forget about the method of taking advantage of loopholes.

The current decision is only a draft, and envoys will be sent to discuss it in detail later. I don’t know how credible this agreement is, but Carrion is a man of true character, so he should be very upright and at least he will not interfere with them for the time being.

After sorting out these things, Rimuru's smile became more sincere.

Then, as if to show it to Zun Zun and the others, Carrion severely injured his subordinate who had just been cured in front of everyone, refused Rimuru's treatment as if to teach him a lesson, and then used teleportation magic to leave.

The Dwarf King, who came specially to help this time, took a deep look at Zun Zun and said goodbye to Rimuru, then led his Pegasus troops away.

As for Zun Zun and others...

He stayed behind to fill in the big hole that the white horse had destroyed, and finally finished his day's work when it was getting dark, which made Milim eat several more bowls of rice.
