Nyx Nova

Chapter Fourteen

'Ku... kukuku! My, my,' Clayman muttered in disbelief. Although I truly despise dirtying my own hands, I guess it's come to this anyway. I've blundered this time. It's time for you to shine, Milim.'

The air thickens as Milim unleashed a bit of her aura. The Demon Lord's eyes were locked onto Milim. It was obvious that Clayman thought that he had a trump card named Tyrant of Destruction but instead, he was dancing at the palm of Milim's hand.

'You are truly amazing at running your mouth. With all these said, how could you still rely on other people in the end? Now you dare to involve Milim. I'll beat some sense into you before Nyx got his hands onto you,' said Rimuru.

'How boring,' Clayman replied. 'I will fight as well. Guy, do you have an objection?'

'Milord, it seemed that one of the Demon Lord that is being tested had asked a question,' Guy said to me.

'Do whatever you want, it makes no difference to me,' I said. Milim, rather foolishly stood up from her chair and struck a victory pose before she entered the fighting area. Guy and I collectively slammed our right hands to our faces.

'Sorry that you had to deal with her antics all these years,' I apologetically said.

'Ah, although that was troublesome, it was fun,' Guy affirmed as he cast a Space Expansion Barrier over them.

'Right then. I was planning to save Milim anyway, I'll break your brainwashing technique if it takes everything I have,' Rimuru determined.

'Surely you jest! And you will die trying,' Clayman bragged.

'You are the one who's going to die, either way, Clayman. If it were against you alone, my subordinates will suffice. It would be bullying for me to fight you myself,' said Rimuru. In the blink of an eye, Shion launched a barrage of punches on Clayman.

'Is this okay?' she beamed at Rimuru. Clayman was sent flying before he fell in front of Rimuru.

'B- bastard, you bastard--!' Clayman screamed as his regenerative ability began to work. As expected for a Pseudo Demon Lord, his capabilities were greater than Orc Lord. 'As you wish, I'll kill you all.'

A little fox pranced towards Clayman and it became larger with another one that appeared from the shadow of Clayman's cape. Thus, this must be the other Fingers, or most specifically his subordinates. Shion and Ranga joined Rimuru, getting ready to fight Clayman but Milim also joined the battle but she stood on the other side.

'Milim, kill that guy!' Clayman ordered. She, playing her role perfectly, threw her fists at Rimuru. Although his "Thought Perception" helped him immensely in this, Milim's fist was not just a fist. It carried a skill along with it. I could tell that Beretta was wanting to go and assist Rimuru. But he was afraid of overstepping us.

'Milord, I'm on Rimuru's side and want to let my Beretta join the fight!' Ramiris immediately asked me.

'Su-'

'No,' Guy had cut me off.

'Why?' Ramiris burst.

'Huh? This is a battle between Demon Lords. How could you let a mere servant join the fight? Besides, isn't it a fight between that slime and Clayman? Why is that any of your business?'Guy stated.

'Milord, Guy is being so mean! Milim has also joined the battle,' she turned to me with teary and desperate eyes.

'You're annoying, Milim is probably planning something on her own,' Guy insisted before I could have a chance to give in.

'You say it as if I've not come up with any genius plan!' Ramiris retorted.

'Is it not the case? Moreover,' Guy retorted back. 'Who's your servant loyal to? The other one's protecting you with all her heart, but this one isn't. He's loyal to you on the surface, but is he completely loyal to you? Are you really fine with dealing with this type of unknown retainer?'
