(A/N: This chapter will be dark. it is not for those with weak hearts.)
Rimuru POV
it's been a while since I died, and great sage is reconstructing my body so that I will be revived
" Great Sage, how many days left until it's finished?" I asked
<< Answer: 2 Month and 14 days>>
I cant wait to see them again
Time skip
it's finally time. My body is almost finished, and I will be able to go back. I hope they are safe
<<Report: The body is now complete, and the individual Rimuru can go back>>
" Hey, can I have my skills when I get back?"
<< Answer: yes, but not all the skills, you will have unique skills like Gluttony, Great Sage, and Degenerate. most of the skills you acquired through eating monsters will be lost."
" huh? does that mean I won't have my human form?"
<< Answer: No, since Mimicry is a sub-skill of Gluttony, you won't lose your Forms>>
" Well, That's a relief, then send me back, Great Sage."
<< Cunfermed merge the body with the soul of the individual rimuru tempest?>>
<<Y/N>>
"Yes"
after I said that, I became Unconscious, and the process began
After the procedure was finished, I found myself in a dense forest that even light wasn't able to reach
" Great Sage, where am I?"
<< Answer: you are to the south of tempest>>
'huh? was there a forest like this?'
" could you give me to tempest"
<< Answer: Yes>>
after that, I walked through the forest. If I didn't have great sage keeping track of where we were, I would have been lost a long time ago. after 3 days of walking, I could finally reach tempest. Still, I couldn't believe my eyes when I got there; the sight that met me was grotesque and distrusting in so many ways; dead bodies littered all around the place. All the buildings that we worked hard to build were destroyed and in ruins; when I saw that, I couldn't believe it, and I wanted to explore if there were any survivors and noticed all the women's bodies lying on the ground, they were beaten up, and there were wounds all over their bodies. At First, I thought it was all, but that thought was quickly dispelled when I found myself on something I'd never seen. The sight before made me fall to my knees; it was the most terrible thing I had ever seen, more terrible than I could ever imagine.
3rd POV
In front of me, I saw dozens if not hundreds of men raping the women, and some who were finished just thrown to the corner as playthings; then another soldier came from the back dragging children, the children were crying and asking for help, but they didn't listen they forced them to the ground and show them the horrible scene of their parents being raped. When the children try to look away, they grab their heads and force them to look, which doesn't end there. When the men were done raping the mothers, they brought the fathers and forced them to rape their children. The fathers said no, got tied up, And made them watch as their daughters were being raped by the soldiers, making them suffer even more, which didn't end there; when they were done, they brought boiled water and boiled them alive, and they laughed and drank as they did that.
Rimuru, who saw that was broken, his eyes that shined as if they represented hope, was now filled with eyes that were determined to kill
he then ran towards them, picked up a sword from the ground, and charged them. The soldiers who were enjoying their time playing with the citizens of tempest didn't have time to react, so they were killed instantly, but it didn't end there. The soldiers who saw that were on guard, all of whom attacked rimuru all at once and cut his arms. Still, rimuru was filled with rage and couldn't care less, and thanks to his ultra-speed regeneration and great sage, he was able to fight over 500 soldiers at once and eradicate them, but some were able to escape. After rimuru finished his battle, he quickly ran toward the people, but what he saw broke him even more; the monsters who were being raped and killed had enough; even though their master was back, they chose to die instead of living in hell like this. so they chose suicide.
Rimuru, who saw that, was devastated he lost his home and his people, and the ones who he was able to save chose death instead of living.
" w-why?" he said as he fell to the ground.
" why? I thought I would be able to see them again; why?" as he said that, his aura was released
<< Notice: Cannot calculate>>
" TELL ME WHAT DID I DO WRONG" he shouted
<< Notice: Cannot calculate, Cannot comprehend >>
" WHERE WAS I WRONG?" he shouted again while tiers fell from his face
<< Notice: Cannot calculate, Cannot comprehend, Cannot Answer >>
Rimuru went silent after that. He couldn't speak as he was filled with grief. He didn't understand what happened... no, it's not that he didn't understand. It's because he didn't want to believe that his home was destroyed.
***
As rimuru was depressed about what happened, the soldiers that escaped from the Fight rushed to the main army to report what had happened. The military, who heard that there was another monster to be dealt with, sent out 40,000 soldiers to deal with the monster because they thought that that monster was the previous ruler of the forest, and they were right. But what they weren't right about was that they would not be able to kill him that easily.
***
Rimuru was kneeling in the same place for three days. He didn't move a single inch. He just sat there without doing anything until
<< Notice: There is an army of soldiers coming this way>>
" Why would they come here? to destroy everything again, I won't let them"
" how many are there?"
<<Notice: it is estimated to be 40,000>>
" they are big in numbers, I might die, but I don't care; I will avenge them," he said, clenching his fists
"I can't stay like this forever," he said and got up
" In time, their body will decay, return to magicules and finally disappear," he said and lifted his hand up
" at least, they can rest in peace inside of me..." he said and used {Gluttony} to devour them
after that, he went around all over the city and utilized Gluttony and ate them one after another. after he finished devouring them, he went to the dead soldiers
" you Humans are the cause of all this; I will kill every one of you," he said in a cold tone and devoured them all
After that, he went around the forest, killing and devouring every being he came across to regain his strength. It took him 4 days and nights to finally recover his power and surpass his former self, and it was just in time.
<< Notice: The humans have arrived>> great sage announced, and rimuru gave a sinister smile coming up with an idea to eradicate them
" great sage is the thing I requested done?"
<< Answer: Yes>>
" Good now, let's greet our guests," he said and flew towards the army.
***
After he got there, the 40,000 men were making camp; after rimuru arrived there, he put up an anti-magic barrier so that no one could escape.
" May You Suffer For Enthernty {Last Judjment}"
- {Last Judgment} is magic that burns the target alive; it burns them for a full minute, and because it uses thought acceleration by a thousand times, making them suffer for 16 hours straight.
After he activated it, little fireballs started to fall like it was raining, and they looked like red fireflies. When the fireballs touched the soldiers, they covered their whole bodies and burned them for a full minute, and when the minute was over, all that could be seen was black ashes. after some of the sliders were dead
<< Report: Unique Skill Mersilace has been acquired>>
" Mersilace? Well, it does fit the occasion. analyze it"
<< Yes>>
after that, even more, soldiers died. More than half of the soldiers were dead in less than an hour. most of the soldiers that saw that were terrified and trying to escape, but the more they moved, the more they suffer
<< Report: Unique Skill Mersilace has been completely analyzed. with it, you can seize the soul of those begging for their lives or seeking help.>>
" Which means?"
<< Those who lost the will to fight in front of this skill will die.>>
" oh? that really is Mersilace," he said with a sinister smile
<< Question: use The Unique Skill Mersilace?>>
" yeah."
as he said that, the sky started to get dark, and all the soldiers there died instantly because they knew they couldn't fight him. Their souls, which looked like an orb of light, flew towards Rimuru and entered his body.
" what was that? did I eat their souls or something?"
<< With the unique skill Mersilace, The soul of all humans in the area have been harvested.>> as great sage announced that another voice was heard
[ Report: Confirming the Nutrient of Human souls needed for evolution...
Confirmed.
The requirement has been fulfilled.
Evolution to Demon Lord; harvest festival will now begin.]
after the voice of the world announced, rimuru felt dizzy and sleepy
" crap, what is happening," he said as he fell to the ground
" if I sleep here, I might get killed," he said as he turned back to his slime form
" Anti-magic area, dispel," he said, and the Anti-magic area was dispelled
" Demon summoning," he said, and a large magic circle appeared on the ground
"I offer all the corpses lying here. Heed to my call, Demon. Come and serve me!" after he said that, a black mist covered the magic circle, and after the fog disappeared, a demon with black hair with streaks of red and black eyes with red pupils was seen. And another two who don't have that much screen time.
" This familiar presence, the birth of a new demon lord." the demon said, and his wings disappeared.
" will it be alright for me to continue serving you in the future?" the demon said kneeling.
" We can talk later. First, prove how useful you can be. protect me when I go to sleep to evolve and ensure my safety," rimuru said in a low voice
" it would be a pleasure, my lord."
