Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

"Demi-humans, all of you go die!!"

Bang Bang...!!

Accompanied by continuous loud noises, Ottokre seemed to have regained the courage of his youth, and fought hard with more than a dozen demi-humans who surrounded and beat him.

After walking out of the portal and noticing the scene in front of the palace gate, Rimuru subconsciously looked to the side at Kazuya Soma:

"Sōma, that's King Melomag? He doesn't look like what you said, just a stupid puppet with no opinion, does he?"

"Indeed." Soma Kazuya nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on Ottokre in the distance, and he pondered, "He looks like he's about to go crazy. Maybe it's because his anger has awakened again?"

"According to the investigation of the Intelligence Department, he was a sister-con when he was young, but his sister was abducted by the demi-humans, gave birth to two children, and soon died in the demi-human country."

"That's why he has always hated sub-humans so much."

"If anyone says something good about the demihumans, they will be treated as an enemy."

"The reason why I was framed in the first place was probably because of this, in addition to the princess' bad temper."

Rimuru was speechless. It was normal for a sister-con to become cynical when he lost his sister.

"Where's Queen Mirelia? She should be the one who's really in charge here."

"She has returned to the capital. She was the one who found the reinforcements for the Kingdom of Hobre. Since she is not in the palace, she should be raising military funds or mobilizing soldiers somewhere else, right?"

"I see. What are you going to do next?"

As soon as Rimuru finished speaking, he found that "Xia" rushed out again.

Holding two knives, he would chop anyone he saw.

All the guards who were fighting with the monsters summoned by Onikiri were killed by him one by one.

The two people were frightened by his swift and agile movements, which seemed like chopping melons and vegetables.

"What I say now doesn't count?" Soma Kazuya sighed helplessly, "According to my idea, of course, the main approach is to persuade him to surrender, and then hold a public trial in the capital, and win over some people's hearts by the way. I'm just afraid that he will suddenly launch a Shinra expedition..."

"Probably not. If he really used that kind of move, even if he had excellent control and didn't hurt any innocent people, it would be a hassle just to build a house when he was dealing with it later."

While the two were chatting, "Xia" rushed straight towards King Octore of Melomag.

"It's actually a slime?"

Octore did not hesitate. After briefly charging up his strength, he stabbed forward with the front end of his staff.

Almost the next moment after he swung his staff, "Xia" disappeared out of thin air, and the staff pierced the air.

The alert in his heart made Octore retreat quickly.

But as soon as he stepped back, he felt a chill on his arm, and his right hand holding the staff disappeared in an instant.

"So fast! You haven't been to the front line for many years. Are you still rusty?"

With a slight thought, the staff quickly flew into the only remaining left hand.

Looking at the palace guards who had fallen to the ground one after another around him, Octore's anger gradually subsided and he calmed down.

"Slime, as a monster, why did you help those rebels? Whatever benefits they gave you, I can give you ten times as much."

"You've actually calmed down. But don't you think it's too late?" Ye Men chuckled.

"Our Melomag Kingdom has a strong foundation. Even if you can kill me, the king, it will have no impact on the overall situation."

"Bluffing will only reveal your weakness. I am not unreasonable. I will give you a chance to surrender."

"Impossible! Regardless of whether I am the king or the Hero of the Staff, I will never submit to the demihuman nation."

"In that case, let's get going..."

Before Ye Men finished speaking, many footsteps were suddenly heard in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful woman with outstanding appearance and noble temperament came running over with a large number of reinforcements.

"Stop it! What do you want, brave Souma? We can negotiate."

As she spoke, troops gathered from all directions on the street in front of the palace.

In just a short time, Ye Men and others who came through the portal were surrounded.

Ye Men looked around and asked in his heart:

(Xia, after your body transforms, do you have clothes?)

[Yes, Master. This is the method that Rimuru taught me. I keep taking the clothes into my body and taking them out while I transform. This way, after I transform, the clothes will automatically be put on my body.]

(In this case, you first control your body to transform into a human form, and then hand over the control to me again.)

[no problem. ]

The next moment, under the gaze of everyone, the little slime turned into a beautiful girl.

Her waist-length sky-blue hair danced in the wind, and her beautiful face and skin so fair that they could be broken with the touch of a finger made her look like a stunning beauty that only existed in stories.

She was wearing a common JK sailor suit, her smooth bare feet standing in the air five or six centimeters above the ground, exuding a unique charm.

"As expected of Rimuru, his aesthetics are as good as ever. Although he has the same flat body as Milim, he is a slime after all, so there is no need to force too much."

Thinking of this, Ye Men controlled Xia's body to fly into the sky, while exuding his own aura to attract the attention of everyone present.

Then, he slowly opened his mouth:

"Two conditions. First, the eldest princess, Maddie Melomag, must be executed. Second, the king must abdicate and all members of the royal family must be demoted to commoners. Except for their personal belongings, everything must be left behind. Not even a nail can be taken away."

"If you agree to my two conditions, then we can negotiate."

"If you refuse, then let's go to war!"

Chapter 162 No one can control themselves

Noticing that everyone was staring at her, Queen Mirelia fell silent for a moment.

There was so little information that she was completely unable to make any decision.

Since the weapons carried by the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Hobre were almost the same as those used by the rebels, she had suspected that Soma Kazuya was supported by the Kingdom of Hobre behind the scenes, and that everything was directed and acted out by them.

But the undisguised disdain and arrogance of Takht, the commander of the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Hobre, made her secretly overturn this conjecture.

"Can I ask your name?"

"Now I'm asking you. I'll give you ten seconds. If you still can't make a decision, I'll decide for you. Ten, nine..."

Listening to the countdown from the sky, countless roars suddenly sounded all around.

"Your Majesty, fight them!"

"We obviously have more people. We must not agree to such a humiliating peace talk!"

"Why execute the eldest princess? I object!"

Yes, we still have the advantage in numbers. Even though my husband is surrounded by the enemy, he has regained his courage and is not without the ability to fight.

Thinking of this, Mirelia took the initiative to speak:

"Your conditions are too harsh for our Melomag Kingdom. Moreover, although Maddie has done many bad things, she is young and ignorant. She does not deserve death anyway."

"If you wish, I can reduce her to a slave and have her serve the hero Soma forever."

"As expected, I knew you would refuse." Ye Men shook his head slightly, "If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. If the king breaks the law, he should be punished the same as the common people."

"In that case, there is nothing more to say."

"A bag of rice has to support several floors..."

The next moment, an incomparable magical power burst out from "Xia"'s body, and the palace inside and outside was razed to the ground in an instant.

All the reinforcements brought by Queen Mirelia were reduced to ashes.

The magnificent and historic royal palace and the surrounding blocks disappeared without a trace, leaving only a desolate expanse of mud.

In the central area of ​​the royal capital, a huge deep pit was formed. The foundation, which was more than ten meters shallow, contrasted sharply with the intact buildings in the distance.

Queen Mirelia and King Ottocle, who were deliberately spared by Ye Men, stared at everything in front of them in a daze.

The royal palace that had been passed down for hundreds of years was razed to the ground in an instant, and the kingdom's most elite guards were slaughtered in the blink of an eye. Such a cruel scene drove Mirelia almost crazy, and her tears could not stop flowing.

But when she thought of the people in other parts of the capital and her second daughter Melty who had been relocated to another place, the remaining rationality in her heart prevented her from falling to the ground.

"I agree. Let's do as you say. My husband and I will announce our abdication, and Maddie will be at your disposal."

"Well, the matter has been perfectly resolved, and the rest is up to you, Souma."

Yemen released the remote control, and Xia changed back into slime form and flew back to Inugami's shoulder.

"Rimuru, Master is so amazing. He defeated the enemy in an instant."

"Eh..."

Rimuru did not respond and was in a very depressed mood.

This was the first time he discovered the differences between himself and Ye Men. So many people, just deal with them all? Even if there were no ordinary civilians living near the palace, so many soldiers also had their own families.

There is obviously a better solution. As long as we show a little strength, the other party will not refuse to surrender. Why use such a cruel method?

Even if it is to avoid subsequent trouble, this is too cruel.

Although he was very upset, he would not quarrel with some insignificant enemies and friends.

So, I can only sulk in my heart alone.

“Is Rimuru unhappy?”

Rimuru looked speechlessly at Xia on the other shoulder of Inugami and sighed again.

"I wish I were a normal slime, without any worries."

"Perhaps he is right. This can effectively deter the enemy and also deter the rebels under Soma, preventing them from having any small thoughts."

'No civilians usually live near the palace, so his target is only the palace and this area.'

"Come to think of it, maybe it's because I haven't adapted to the rules of this world yet?"

While deep in thought, Rimuru suddenly discovered that the ground in the distance, on the wasteland that used to be the royal palace, was moving in many places.

Then, some dusty maids crawled out from underground.

For a moment, I was delighted and quickly asked the other end of the phone:

"Ye Men, it's obviously such a powerful move, why are there so many women who survived?"

"I don't know if I've ever told you before, but I can see red numbers above a lot of people's heads."

"I don't think so?"

“This is a special ability of mine. For people who have done bad things, a red number will appear above their heads and stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Of course, if you do good things all your life, the number will go down, but you have to do about ten good things to reduce the number of bad things you do.

Every time I kill someone with a red number above his head, I become a little stronger, similar to experience points.

I have adjusted all my magic moves so that, when necessary, they can automatically identify and only kill people with red numbers above their heads, and have no effect on people without numbers above their heads.

It is equivalent to the teammates in the game being invulnerable. Even the most powerful magic will not harm them. "

It turned out to be the case.

Rimuru seemed to be thinking about something. If that were the case, then he showed no mercy to the beautiful harem of Takht, the reinforcements from the Kingdom of Hobre. They should all have red numbers on their heads, right?

That being said, even if she was forced at first, or there were other reasons, since she had entered Takht's harem, it was impossible for her not to do anything bad that went against her conscience.

Apart from anything else, assisting Tact in capturing beautiful women is also a felony.

In the capital of Melomag, almost all the dead were soldiers in the army.

At this moment, Rimuru felt inexplicably relieved.

His ability is somewhat similar to the Paladin's detect evil. I wonder if there is a red number above my head?

I haven't done anything bad, so even if there is a number, it should be very small.

This trick is quite good. When using large-scale magic, there is no need to worry about causing accidental injuries.

Construction is easy, he knows wood magic, so building a house is very easy.

"Haven't we been thinking about how to support uprisings in various places without causing public outrage?"

"It just so happens that the modern weapons of the Kingdom of Hobre are very powerful and more advanced than ours."
