"Damn it, what the hell happened when I didn't know? Why would that terrifying existence target the Jura Forest? If this continues, all my plans will be ruined!"
Under the shade of a tree, Grummid muttered to himself incessantly, anxiously trying to figure out a solution. Although his instincts kept urging him to flee, to escape far away from here, Grummid didn't dare to make the slightest move to run.
Because the moment he tried to escape, he would be instantly killed by the curse within him. If abandoning the plan and fleeing meant a 100% chance of death, then finding a way to make the plan succeed would at least give him a sliver of hope to survive.
"What to do! What to do! What should I do? Why would that existence target this place?"
Anxious and panicked muttering echoed through the forest. At this moment, Grummid had completely lost his previous composure. Beads of sweat dripped down his cheeks, and behind the mask, his face was filled with despair and fear.
"Should I run?"
The next second, Grummid raised his head to look at the sky. He knew that it was impossible for him to go to the battlefield and continue the plan. Not to mention the Demon Lord who had just targeted him, even the ogre who had easily used a mountain as a weapon could easily虐杀 him.
"Oh my! Isn't this Lord Grummid? What are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a comical clown-like face appeared before Grummid. However, at this moment, the clown's comical face carried a strange arc, coupled with a mocking and indifferent voice that gave people an indescribable sense of fear.
The sudden change directly startled Grummid, who was already anxious and flustered. He instinctively distanced himself from the other party, but after clearly seeing the other party's face, Grummid relaxed, and even the despair in his eyes was replaced by a glimmer of hope.
"La... Lord Laplace, why are you here?"
With a hint of flattery in his voice, Grummid approached Laplace. At this moment, he had already regarded Laplace as his last lifeline, believing that the other party had seen that the plan was about to fail and intended to intervene to ensure the plan's success.
"Lord Grummid, what are you talking about? Of course, I'm here to remind you to continue completing the plan."
Laplace still maintained that comical smile on his face. After spinning around in place, he stretched his head to Grummid at a strange angle, but the words he spoke completely plunged Grummid into despair.
"Lord Laplace, what are you saying?"
A few seconds later, Grummid looked at Laplace with despair in his eyes. Even though he had already guessed Laplace's intentions, Grummid still didn't want to believe it. He was a high-ranking Majin, a powerful high-ranking Majin.
How could he be so easily abandoned as a pawn!
"Oh my, didn't Lord Grummid hear clearly? I said, let you continue the plan."
After speaking, Laplace raised his hand and patted Grummid's shoulder as encouragement, then looked at Grummid with a look of anticipation, seemingly waiting for his answer.
"I... I understand, the plan continues."
A few seconds later, Grummid's intermittent voice sounded, and he seemed to fly directly towards the battlefield, because he had already felt Laplace's clear and incomparable killing intent. If he didn't do what he said, then he would die here in the next second.
Therefore, even though he knew that going to the battlefield was almost certain death, he had to do what Laplace said, because that way he could at least live a few more seconds.
"I didn't expect that after the disappearance of Storm Dragon Veldora, an unknown Demon Lord would suddenly appear in the Jura Forest, and it's so powerful. It's getting more and more interesting... But, Clayman's plan...."
On a rock, Laplace looked at the dark sky with his hands behind his head, muttering to himself with a strange smile on his lips. A gust of breeze blew past, and Laplace's figure disappeared from the spot. A few seconds later, the Treant Trainee walked out from behind a large tree not far away.
"He got away again."
Looking at the empty forest in front of her, Trainee turned around and walked into the forest again. As the guardian of the Great Forest, any existence that wanted to destroy or occupy this place was her enemy.
......
On the other side, on the shattered plain, the two sides that were originally fighting had stopped fighting, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two Demon Lord seeds confronting each other in the center of the battlefield. This war had reached its final moment.
"Tch!"
Suddenly, Lu Minghao, who was standing next to Rimuru, snorted, looking at the sky with disgust on his face. There, a red light was rapidly approaching here, and the ominous demonic aura instantly attracted the attention of others.
Boom!
The next second, the red light crashed into the center of the two sides confronting each other like a meteor, and a figure appeared there in the dust. The powerful and ominous aura instantly made Ranga's fur stand on end, and he bared his fangs and roared at the figure.
"What's going on? Why are you here? Why are you interfering with my, Grummid's, plan?"
Grummid stared at Lu Minghao and Sally with his eyes, roaring at Lu Minghao almost frantically. At this moment, he was already close to collapse under the continuous pressure. The feeling that the plan he had worked so hard for for so long, which was clearly about to succeed, was destroyed at the last step, and that he was being used as a pawn, had almost broken him.
"Grummid? The guy who named Rigurd's eldest son back then?"
After hearing Grummid's name, Rimuru remembered what he said when he first met Rigurd. If the Majin in front of him wasn't lying, then wouldn't he be the guy who named Rigurd's eldest son back then? Does that mean he's here for a reason?
"Clearly... clearly it was only a little bit, a new Demon Lord, a Demon Lord who would be my right-hand man, would be born..."
On the opposite side, the collapsing Grummid roared almost frantically. It was clearly only a little bit, just a little bit, but the next second, Grummid suddenly saw a black spot appearing in front of him, and it was rapidly enlarging.
Bang!
A small, tender fist slammed heavily on Grummid's face. Under the enormous force, Grummid's twisted face and splattering blood could be clearly seen.
Boom!
After a loud explosion, Grummid's body was directly inserted into the ground like a green onion, with his entire upper body sunk into the ground, and a large amount of minced meat and blood scattered around his body.
"Hmph! Who told you to talk so loudly to Master and Sister Sally?"
Luo Yina glared at Grummid, who was planted upside down like a scallion. After waiting a few seconds and receiving no response, Luo Yina reached out her small hand to pull Grummid out. Lifting her little foot, she kicked Grummid in the face, the sound of bones shattering echoing clearly.
Nearby, Hong Maru and the others, watching Luo Yina's brutal loli appearance, subconsciously turned their heads away. After all, the scene was painful to even them, especially Gobuta, who usually loved to tease Luo Yina. Seeing Luo Yina's brutal appearance, he instinctively shrank behind Ranga.
“Ahhhhh!”
The next second, intense pain woke Grummid. His shrill screams echoed across the shattered plain. Endless pain came from his body every second, as if it was falling apart. Even an awakened demon couldn't help but wail.
“You're so noisy.”
Listening to the screams coming from her ear, Luo Yina's tender little face was full of disgusted expression. With a smack, she slammed Grummid in her hand onto the ground again, then dragged him by the foot like a rag to Lu Minghao.
“Master, this is for you.”
Luo Yina raised her little head and looked at Lu Minghao, her cute little face with a happy smile, just like a child who found something delicious outside and brought it home for her parents to try.
“Yes, yes, Luo Yina is such a good child.”
Looking at the so cute Luo Yina, Lu Minghao squatted down and gently rubbed her hair. Although he looked down on a mere awakened demon, this was Luo Yina's first time giving him food, so of course he had to praise her.
“Hehe, Sister Sally, Master praised me!”
After receiving Lu Minghao's praise, Luo Yina smiled cutely, raised her short legs, and jumped into Sally's arms with both hands.
“Minghao, do you know him?”
At this time, Rimuru, who was beside him, looked down at Grummid in front of Lu Minghao and asked. From Grummid's almost collapsed appearance just now, it seemed that he knew Lu Minghao and Sally, and it seemed that there was hatred between the two sides.
“No, how could I know him? And when you say such things, shouldn't you ask yourself, Rimuru?”
Saying that, Lu Minghao casually turned over Grummid, who was lying on the ground, then raised his hand and slapped Grummid, who had fainted, awake.
“Hey! I just wanted that trash who was always peeping to come out. The trash I'm talking about isn't a small fry like you.”
Before Grummid, who had just woken up, could say anything, Lu Minghao directly stepped on his chest, his dark eyes full of coldness as he asked. Lu Minghao had long known clearly about Grummid, who had been hiding in the Jura Forest, even giving the Orc Lord a name and guiding the Orcs to invade the Jura Forest.
But, for the current Lu Minghao, a mere awakened demon was completely unimportant to him. The trash he was talking about just now was Clayman, the real mastermind who had been hiding behind the scenes, the demon lord who would later become a unit of measurement.
Since coming to the battlefield not long ago, Lu Minghao had sensed a pair of eyes staring at him from the shadows, the malice in them completely undisguised. It felt as if Lu Minghao was being used as a chess piece.
Of course, Lu Minghao knew exactly who the owner of this pair of eyes was. It was Clayman, the future unit of measurement, and the trash Lu Minghao was talking about was Clayman.
“You… what are you talking about?”
Grummid opened his eyes and looked at Lu Minghao with a look of fear. His brain was completely dizzy from Luo Yina's punch just now, so he didn't know what Lu Minghao was talking about.
“Tch, you don't think I was talking about you when I asked that trash hiding in the dark to come out, do you?”
Saying that, Lu Minghao raised his foot again in Grummid's desperate eyes, then stomped down hard. Along with the sound of bones breaking and flesh being pierced, a huge hole appeared directly in Grummid's chest.
“Orc… Lord… Orc Lord, no, Krut… I order you… save me…”
Large mouthfuls of blood spurted out of Grummid's mouth. Under the intense pain and fear of death, Grummid raised his hand and began to ask for help from the Orc Lord Krut, who was quietly watching all this not far away… or rather, give orders.
“Boring, after all this time, I only caught a small fry, but forget it, my purpose this time wasn't you anyway.”
Looking at Grummid, who was still struggling under his feet, Lu Minghao yawned boredly, then the foot that pierced Grummid's chest began to wriggle, and a layer of ice-blue jelly-like liquid wrapped around and absorbed him.
“Then, next up is you, Orc Lord Krut.”
The next second, Lu Minghao raised his head and looked at the burly Orc Lord in front of him, a hint of appetite appearing in his eyes. He was one of his main purposes for coming to the Jura Forest this time. Lu Minghao was very interested in his unique skill [Starved One].
“I'm hungry, I want to eat, anything!”
On the opposite side, the Orc Lord Krut walked towards Lu Minghao with heavy steps, viscous saliva constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth. Unsatisfiable hunger made him want to devour everything in front of him.
“You're hungry, huh? Then please eat slime!”
Looking at the approaching Orc Lord, Lu Minghao smiled slightly and looked at Rimuru beside him. Rimuru, who was being stared at by Lu Minghao, changed his expression. Especially when Lu Minghao said to let the Orc Lord eat slime, the unease in his heart made him subconsciously want to stay away from Lu Minghao.
It's just a pity that before Rimuru could run away, Lu Minghao's little face came close to his eyes, his warm breath hitting his fair skin. Because they were too close, Rimuru even smelled the faint fragrance on Lu Minghao's body, and a trace of shyness appeared on his fair cheeks.
The next second, Rimuru suddenly felt himself being hugged by Lu Minghao, followed by a whistling sound in his ears, and his whole body flew directly towards the Orc Lord.
“Secret Technique · Throw You Slime.”
Lu Minghao clapped his hands and looked at Rimuru, who was flying out, with a serious expression. When Hong Maru and the others saw Rimuru being thrown out by Lu Minghao, they were all stunned. Only Sally showed a trace of nostalgia, after all, she had also used this trick before.
“Hey, hey! Minghao, this trick is obviously Throw You Ramu, don't change it randomly!”
In mid-air, Rimuru heard Lu Minghao's nonsense trick name, and after easily dodging the Orc Lord's attack with a flash, he pointed at Lu Minghao and complained. As for being angry because Lu Minghao suddenly threw him out, Rimuru completely didn't have any.
Because, the moment he was thrown out by Lu Minghao, Rimuru noticed that Lu Minghao didn't use any force. At this speed, he could easily dodge the Orc Lord's attack.
