“Devour everything, Chaos Devour!”
Beneath the dim and gloomy sky, accompanied by the Pig Head Emperor Krut's roar, four dark red attacks, like ghostly shadows, flew towards Rimuru in mid-air, instantly sealing off all directions around Rimuru.
“Hey, hey! Why are you suddenly attacking? It's dangerous, okay!”
Rimuru watched the rapidly approaching Chaos Devour, dodging the attacks while complaining to the Pig Head Emperor below. However, despite the complaints, Rimuru still drew the longsword from his waist. As dark flames ignited on the blade, Rimuru charged directly towards Krut.
Whoosh!
The next second, Rimuru's body suddenly appeared behind Krut. A faint black line appeared on Krut's neck. As Rimuru casually flicked away the flames from the blade, Krut's massive head fell directly from his neck, the dark flames continuously scorching the flesh at the wound.
“So strong!”
“As expected of Lord Rimuru!”
On the side, Shion, seeing Rimuru easily defeat the Pig Head Emperor, began waving her arms and jumping up and down towards Rimuru. Her massive 'Justice' bounced up and down with Shion's movements, making everyone nearby fear that the buttons on Shion's clothes would give way in the next second.
Clap!
Just then, the Pig Head Emperor, who had already become a headless corpse, suddenly raised his hand and caught his falling head. Holding his head in this way, he turned to look at Rimuru. Then, a large number of pale golden, viscous tentacles poured out from his neck, reattaching the head to his body.
“Wow!”
Luo Yina, upon seeing this scene, subconsciously let out a near-scream, her small mouth wide open, her big eyes blinking as she looked at the completely recovered Pig Head Emperor. Suddenly, Luo Yina felt a slight fondness for the Pig Head Emperor. If possible, she hoped the Pig Head Emperor could become her toy, after all, those golden tentacles were super cute, weren't they?
“What powerful regenerative ability!”
However, compared to Luo Yina, who wanted to use the Pig Head Emperor as a toy, Rimuru's expression gradually became serious. It was the first time he had seen such terrifying regenerative ability. He had not only severed the Pig Head Emperor's head just now, but the flames burning on the blade had also completely sealed the wound.
“It seems I have to severely injure or even kill him in one go!”
Saying that, Rimuru spread his wings and soared into the sky. In less than a second, Rimuru's figure turned into a black dot. The Pig Head Emperor, who had completely recovered below, seemed to sense something was wrong after discovering Rimuru flying into the sky.
His body suddenly crouched down, adopting a stance of accumulating power, his right arm tightly gripping the longsword in his hand, veins bulging, his eyes fixed on Rimuru, who had become a black dot in mid-air.
Crack!
The next second, the ground beneath the Pig Head Emperor suddenly sank, creating a large pit nearly ten meters in diameter. And in that instant, the Pig Head Emperor's massive body turned into a black shadow, shooting straight into the sky. Only after the Pig Head Emperor disappeared did the huge roar and shockwave appear.
“Hm?”
In the sky, Rimuru, who was preparing a powerful move, suddenly heard a sound similar to a sonic boom coming from below. He subconsciously lowered his head to look, only to see the Pig Head Emperor's massive body smashing towards him like a meteor. Instantly, a question mark appeared on Rimuru's head.
“Hey, hey! You're just cheating, okay!”
Rimuru, who had not expected the Pig Head Emperor to attack him in this way, quickly flapped his wings to create distance, complaining to the Pig Head Emperor flying up below. How could he do this? Cheating wasn't done this way. Since when could a pig fly into the sky?
“Want to eat!”
Below, the Pig Head Emperor, covered in visible white airflow, ignored Rimuru's complaints. He opened his mouth full of fangs and roared, his right hand suddenly swinging upwards, instantly turning the longsword in the Pig Head Emperor's hand into a streak of light, chasing after Rimuru in front.
Poof!
Above, Rimuru, who had not reacted at all, was directly split in two by the flying longsword.
“Lord Rimuru!”
“Not good!”
On the plain, Benimaru and the others, seeing Rimuru being split in two by the Pig Head Emperor's attack, all had drastic changes in expression. Especially Shion and Ranga, who rushed out without hesitation, wanting to save Rimuru.
“Hey, you two, can you stop overreacting? Don't forget Rimuru is a slime.”
At this time, Lu Minghao, who was on the side, suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Rimuru, who had become connected in mid-air, with a helpless expression. With their strength, they could clearly see Rimuru's situation a thousand meters above with just their eyes. Didn't they notice the blue threads connecting Rimuru's severed body?
Besides, Rimuru hadn't fallen down yet, and the magic essence he was emitting was becoming stronger and stronger.
“Oh, right!”
“Lord Rimuru is a slime, he's not afraid of physical attacks.”
On the side, Shion and Ranga, who had just rushed out, had also calmed down at this moment. Because of Rimuru's powerful strength all along, they had subconsciously overlooked Rimuru's true identity. But now that they thought about it, although low-level monsters like slimes were very weak, their liquid bodies also made them unafraid of brute force damage.
“It's coming.”
At this time, Hakurou, who was on the side, suddenly raised his head to look at the sky. At this moment, everyone noticed one thing, that was, a dark vortex cloud was slowly forming in the originally gloomy sky above. Silver-white lightning continuously flashed in the dark, heavy clouds, and they could even clearly see the lightning flickering in the clouds.
And directly below the clouds was Rimuru and the Pig Head Emperor, who were currently battling.
“It seems like the substitute is online.”
Lu Minghao smiled slightly as he looked at Rimuru, who had connected his body together in the sky and was fighting the Pig Head Emperor expressionlessly. As expected, the substitute [Great Sage] had taken over when Rimuru was cut in half by the Pig Head Emperor just now.
“Amazing, as expected of [Great Sage].”
In the sky, Rimuru looked with admiration as [Great Sage] manipulated his body and battled the Pig Head Emperor while controlling his skills to prepare a powerful move. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't be able to do such dual-tasking manipulation.
The next second, just as Rimuru was still admiring, suddenly [Great Sage] manipulated Rimuru's body to shoot up a large distance into the sky, completely widening the distance between him and the Pig Head Emperor. Then, under the manipulation of [Great Sage], Rimuru raised his arm, and dark lightning lit up on Rimuru's body.
At the same time, within the vortex cloud that had already covered half the sky, lightning began to resonate with Rimuru. The unease in the Pig Head Emperor's heart made it roar madly when it saw Rimuru's actions, opening its hands and condensing dark red light in them.
Above, under the manipulation of [Great Sage], Rimuru lowered his hand expressionlessly. In an instant, the entire sky lit up, and the piercing thunder resounded throughout the plain, the huge commotion causing everyone and every monster in the Jura Forest to subconsciously raise their heads and look towards this side.
Boom!
Half a minute later, when the lightning in the sky had completely disappeared, a figure, charred black and smoking, crashed heavily into the middle of the Pighead Emperor's army. The Pighead soldiers near the cracked earth stared in disbelief at the fallen Pighead Emperor.
"Your Majesty!"
Just as many Pighead soldiers were about to check on the Pighead Emperor's condition, the Pighead Emperor, who had sunk into the earth, staggered to his feet. Large amounts of carbonized skin on his charred body cracked and fell off, exposing the flesh inside the Pighead Emperor's skin to the air.
"Is this pain?"
The Pighead Emperor raised his arms, the skin completely gone, and murmured to himself as he looked at the exposed flesh above. This was the first time he had felt pain since becoming the Pighead Emperor. This feeling is really... wonderful!
"Your Majesty, please allow us to accompany you."
At this moment, many Pighead warriors on the side, after seeing the Pighead Emperor stand up, covered in wounds, walked to him and knelt on one knee. Seeing this, the Pighead Emperor was silent for a few seconds, then stretched out his hands and grabbed two Pighead soldiers, opening his mouth wide and biting down hard.
Accompanied by the chilling sound of tearing, the two Pighead soldiers were swallowed by the Pighead Emperor in a few bites, fresh red blood dripping down the corners of the Pighead Emperor's mouth.
"Not enough, more, give me more to eat!"
In a frenzy of roaring, more Pighead soldiers stepped forward, allowing the Pighead Emperor to devour them without resistance. Just as they said, they would become a part of the King and accompany him.
"No way?"
In the sky, Rimuru, who had already deactivated [Great Sage], looked in disbelief at the Pighead Emperor below, who was devouring his own kind in large mouthfuls. As the Pighead Emperor devoured more and more, a faint green light shone on his body, and the injuries on his body and the consumed magicule began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Not enough, more, let me eat more!"
In front, the Pighead Emperor, who had completely recovered, opened his arms and roared again. The hunger that could never be filled made him even more eager to devour everything. The next second, the Pighead Emperor raised his hand and aimed it at the crowd behind Rimuru. A dark red magic cannon instantly flew out, and in mid-air, the magic cannon instantly split into hundreds of pieces.
"Ming Hao, can Sally take action?"
Below the magic cannon, Sally raised her head and looked at Lu Minghao with anticipation. Sally was extremely satisfied with the Pighead Emperor. Whether it was the hunger that could never be satisfied or the desire for food, even the magic cannon, all of this made Sally extremely curious... what would the Pighead Emperor taste like?
"No, it's my prey."
As he spoke, Lu Minghao walked directly forward. Wherever he passed, all the flying magic cannons turned into light spots. Rimuru, who was just about to continue fighting the Pighead Emperor in front, also noticed Lu Minghao, who was exposing his back, and turned his head to look at him curiously.
"Rimuru, change of personnel."
Lu Minghao looked at the Pighead Emperor in front of him with a faint smile on his lips. His dark eyes were full of appetite, but the next second, a trace of hesitation appeared on Lu Minghao's face. In his perception, the Pighead Emperor's strength was still a little short.
"That's right."
As he spoke, Lu Minghao walked to Grummid's corpse in Rimuru's puzzled gaze, directly grabbed Grummid's corpse, and threw it towards the roaring Pighead Emperor. The Pighead Emperor saw Grummid's corpse flying over in an instant and directly opened his huge mouth and bit down.
"Ming Hao, what are you doing?"
Rimuru looked at Lu Minghao in confusion. After eating Grummid's corpse, the Pighead Emperor's aura became even more terrifying. Even now, the dark red magicule had turned into substance and wrapped the Pighead Emperor's body, and the Pighead Emperor's figure became even larger.
"Well, reasonable pig farming, or rather, adding some seasoning."
Lu Minghao turned his head and looked at the evolving Pighead Emperor, grinning and laughing. For Lu Minghao, doing this was just adding some seasoning to the Pighead Emperor and raising the pig, after all, his side was all big eaters, and the Pighead Emperor's previous volume was not enough to eat at all.
"Ahhhhh! I am the Pighead Demon Lord, the one who will devour everything, named Krut, Demon Lord Krut!"
Suddenly, the dark red magicule that enveloped the Pighead Emperor's entire body completely dissipated. Krut, who had successfully evolved into the Pighead Demon Lord, roared wildly, and a powerful domineering aura swept through the roar.
"Ah, yes, yes, you are the one who will devour everything."
The next second, the Pighead Emperor, who was still roaring, suddenly heard a strange voice in his ear. When he turned his head, he realized that Lu Minghao had appeared on his shoulder at some point, looking at him with eyes that were sizing up a piece of meat.
"Ha!"
Looking at Lu Minghao, who was close at hand, the Pighead Emperor directly opened his mouth wide and bit at Lu Minghao. Under the terrifying giant mouth, Lu Minghao's ordinary human-sized body seemed to be swallowed whole in the next second.
"Hmm?"
However, the next second, the Pighead Emperor realized that something was wrong. No matter how hard he tried, his open mouth could not close.
"You said you are the one who will devour everything?"
Lu Minghao's calm voice sounded again. Under Krut's giant mouth, Lu Minghao looked expressionlessly at the open giant mouth in front of him, slowly clenched his right hand, and directly waved it towards the front. Under the terrifying power, the air was crushed into substance, followed by a burst of blood mist spreading out.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
The next second, a shrill scream echoed across the entire plain. Everyone looked in disbelief at Lu Minghao, who was standing in mid-air and slowly lowering his hand. Opposite him, half of Krut's head had disappeared at this time, and a large amount of blood and brain matter flowed out along the wound.
"Let's not talk about whether you are a human or not, and also... I am the one who will devour everything."
Lu Minghao looked expressionlessly at the wailing Krut, and the next second, his body appeared above Krut and said in a voice that only Krut could hear. Then, he gently waved his hand, and the shadow under Krut's body twisted rapidly, and spears covered in barbs appeared.
Puchi! Puchi!
Instantly, countless spears pierced Krut's body. Krut, who was still roaring the second before, was directly hung upside down in mid-air, and fresh red blood dripped onto the grass along the spears, and the aura of life began to slowly disappear.
"It's still a Demon Lord-level soul, can't be wasted."
As he spoke, Lu Minghao directly inserted his hand into the Pighead Emperor's heart, tore out a ball of soul, threw it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. By the way, as expected of a Demon Lord-level soul, it was full of chewiness, plus the endless greed for food and the despair of death before death, it was simply the most perfect seasoning, this taste was great.
