The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 543 If she dares to attack, she will be fed and returned
Rimuru's evolution was successful.

I heard that it was because of the great help of Zun Zun's golden dragon material that saved him from a lot of trouble. However, after careful questioning, it seems that he couldn't explain the reason at all. This guy's evolution also involves a certain amount of luck.

In addition, Rimuru thanked Zun Zun solemnly.

Because when he was performing the secret art of reincarnation, it was the prayers of the Lord that made the secret art successful. This was what he later heard from the Great Sage... no, now he should be called the King of Wisdom Raphael.

I just hope that when he thanks me, he won’t be in the form of a slime.

Because you can't really tell that he is bending over.

Now the residents of the town seem to have received some blessings, but now is not the time to care about the content of the blessings. There is a greater crisis waiting for them.

"Lord Rimuru, I have something important to report."

As Benimaru said this, he gestured to the side, and someone appeared in response to his hint. It was the three beast warriors, subordinates of Demon Lord Karion.

In fact, Milim had already started a war with Karion before the human army attacked, and the result was——

“Yes, I saw it all. Lord Karion and Demon Lord Milim fought fiercely, but Demon Lord Milim was too powerful, and the Beast Kingdom was destroyed by her…”

This sentence made Rimuru dumbfounded.

He had only slept for one day, but the Beast Kingdom had already been conquered. Milim was truly terrifying.

"Wait a minute." Zun Zun asked curiously, "You said you followed Karion until the last moment, right? Then did Milim use martial arts?"

"Wu, martial arts?"

He had a bewildered expression on his face.

That’s right, the Three Beast Warriors have always been following Karion, and Grosis is the only one in the Beast Kingdom who knows martial arts.

Zun Zun waved his hand to indicate that it was not a big deal.

As if they were a little anxious about his disappointment, the three beast warriors revealed that after the exaggerated explosion, Carrion was ambushed and taken away by the Demon King Frey.

It is puzzling that two demon kings would join forces.

Milim is definitely not someone who would resort to such petty tricks. Besides, she is extremely powerful and definitely doesn't need to join forces with others, so there must be some hidden story behind this.

"What do you think, Zun Zun?"

"Alliance leader, there must be something fishy about this matter."

"I think so too."

The more I get along with Milim, the more I feel strange about it. It's no different from taking off your pants to fart. It's really not Milim's style. And just now, Zun Zun confirmed whether the other party used martial arts, which was just a guess.

In addition, after being knocked unconscious, Carrion was taken away, and the direction he was heading to was the territory of Demon Lord Clayman.

After hearing this, the other two beast warriors could no longer sit still. The beastmen were simple-minded and mostly impulsive. After hearing that their Demon King was taken away, they immediately said that they would lead people to kill him, but were stopped by Rimuru.

It is definitely not the idea of not getting involved, but rather calmly persuading them.

At times like this, we must unite and cooperate.

After all, if the situation is not optimistic, they may have to deal with three demon kings, not to mention the powerful Milim among them.

"But what do you think, Zun Zun? I feel like you're not worried at all."

“Should I be worried?”

Such a rhetorical question.

Milim is the oldest demon king, and if anyone knows her strength, it must be Zun Zun. Instead of worrying about her, it is better to worry about Karion.

"……Right."

Rimuru nodded, but soon asked curiously, “But why did Milim do this? If she calls me, what should I do?”

"If it were me...wait, why are you asking me?"

"Don't say that. Give me some reference at least."

"...If it were me, I would probably run away." Zun Zun showed a teasing smile, "After all, I don't have a town to protect, and I don't have any subordinates here."

"Hey, you are so mean! Okay! In that case, I have decided that the position of leader of this great forest will be given to you, Zun Zun! Isn't it all thanks to you that the town has developed so much? If I tell them, they will definitely understand!"

"I refuse! What I like most is to say no to self-righteous people!"

"——Don't play tricks on me!"

Rimuru slammed the table in anger.

But Milim is indeed a hidden danger. We don’t know what she wants to do at the moment, but if her target is this town…

[Answer: The probability of winning the battle against Demon Lord Milim is... 0]

"I've known about this for a long time."

If he couldn't even defeat Zun Zun, how could he defeat Milim? But now he couldn't even bring himself to abandon the town. This place held their memories and a lot of their hard work. It would be painful to abandon it so easily.

Zun Zun naturally saw his dilemma.

"So, if Milim calls, what are you going to do?"

"Then I'll just have to let her have her fill."

Rimuru sighed deeply.

After a long period of contact, he knew very well that Milim had a deep obsession with food, just because Zun Zun's cooking skills captured her stomach, so if it really developed to that extent, he could only replicate the same operation and pray that the other party would show mercy.

"That's outrageous."

"Then you can do some work! By the way, I will appoint Zun Zun as the deputy leader now...!" "I refuse!"

"Let me finish what I'm saying!"

Even if he said so, Zun Zun would definitely not agree. It's not that he is hypocritical, but Hongwan and Bai Lao will not be loyal to him. If Rimuru and himself are put together, they will definitely choose the former without hesitation.

"By the way, if we're going to prepare delicious food, how about letting Shion do it?"

“…Are you serious!? Shion’s skills are at a murder level, and will definitely anger Milim!…Ah, it’s over! Shion, that’s not what I meant, let me explain…Hey, where’s Shion?”

Rimuru yelled subconsciously, but when he was explaining, he found that Shion was not there, so he couldn't help but ask.

After hearing the question, Benimaru smiled brightly.

"Shion just said that Rimuru-sama has just completed his evolution and needs to replenish his nutrition, so I went to make food for you."

“Aa ...

Rimuru shouted out in shame.

He turned around and tried to escape but was grabbed.

“Rimuru-sama! Shion worked really hard at cooking. Maybe a miracle will happen and the food will taste delicious! Do you want to spit on Shion’s kindness?!”

"Don't try to distort the facts! Go away, let go! Miracles would be best if they happened randomly!"

Rimuru tried to shake off Benimaru who was hugging his thigh. He finally evolved, and the first meal was made by Shion himself... Was he kidding!? If possible, he hoped that it was made by Zun-zun!

"Ok?"

Noticing the slime's gaze, Zun Zun smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"Don't worry! I am confident in my apprentice's skills."

"Have you gone blind!?"

Rimuru wanted to escape, but was stopped by Benimaru and Zun Zun. He was forced to wait for Shion at the dining table, where a plate of terrifying and extremely abstract food was served.

He was actually expecting a miracle to happen again, but it didn't happen at all.

"Wait a minute, what is this thing..."

This kind of thing is definitely not a dish for humans to eat!
The pot was filled with all kinds of things, and it felt like a stew. However, the vegetables, such as carrots, potatoes, green peppers, and tomatoes, were stewed in the pot intact, not to mention not being chopped, and not even having their skins peeled off!
In addition, the turbid liquid in the pot was so thick that it looked like the smiling face of an evil spirit. Not to mention the taste, the appearance alone was extremely nauseating.

Rimuru looked confused.

But under the gaze of Shion's sparkling eyes full of expectation, he finally couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he gave up struggling and chose to accept his fate.

Then he made up his mind and closed his eyes.

Place the mysterious object into the mouth.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow, wondering if Rimuru would change from blue to black or purple. However, after a few seconds he looked at the contents of the pot in disbelief and said something that stunned everyone.

"good to eat!"

"Delicious!?"
Rimuru had no intention of making excuses. He looked at the chef who was giving him a smug look and asked.

"Shion, what's going on? Why does it taste so delicious, even though it looks different?"

"Hehe, actually——"

Shion explained the reason.

When she was in a deep sleep...or when she was dead, she seemed to hear what Zun Zun said, saying that he had a skill that could make the food he cooked delicious, so during the evolution process, she made a wish to Zun Zun, hoping that she would become a master of cooking, and thus she gained a skill.

——Unique skills of chef.

The effect is that she can force the law to change and make the food delicious. No matter how she cooks, it will give birth to the ideal taste. For example, the stew in front of her, she is thinking of the taste of Zun Zun's cooking, so it is no different from her impression.

The taste of the food I cook is the same as the real stew in front of me. I feel quite complicated.

"Did your words have any effect?"

Shuna looked at someone in surprise.

At that time, there were only her, Zun Zun and Mulan under the altar.

Zun Zun was also slightly stunned. Ziyuan had been dead for several days at that time. He could feel her cheeks were completely cold when he touched them, but he still heard his own voice.

Was it because her soul had not dissipated, or because of her own obsession? But her almost immortal nature was actually revealed at this moment?

Also, why pray to yourself?

Rimuru seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and he asked curiously, "My Lord, why can I make a wish come true if I pray to you? Are you a wish-granting machine?"

"Do you think it's possible? It must be that if you keep thinking about it, there will be a response, and the skill will respond to Shion."

Zun Zun rolled his eyes and brushed off his unrealistic thoughts.

However, Rimuru didn’t believe it at all.

Then, he bowed several times to the gods, as if he was making a wish to the gods.

so--

Don't use the slime form, are you looking down on me!?
Then there was the banquet.

Although there is still the external threat of Milim, and Karion being kidnapped, etc., the internal troubles have been resolved, Rimuru has evolved into a Demon King, and Shion and the others have been successfully resurrected, so it's time to celebrate.

This day was later named the Easter Festival and was held every year.
