That Time I Got Reencarnated as a Demon Lord (English)

21 - Rigur vs Gelmut

Due to the pressure of Rigur's magic, the tension in the air increased greatly, making Gelmut able to perceive the presence of the goblin in front of him. That amount of magic was unrealistic for a goblin and it was emanating unsteadily as a testament to his wrath.

This was something Gelmut would expect coming from an ogre, not a goblin.

Gelmut felt as if another ogre was standing in front of him.

This made Gelmut nervous, after all, in front of him was a goblin who had heard what he said a little earlier, and if this goblin told the ogres about what had happened, he could become a real threat to their plans, and to the plan. that his great master had prepared for so many years.

Still, something about this goblin before him seemed unusual to Gelmut, though he couldn't say for sure what that something was.

Wait! a hobgoblin so powerful it could only be a named individual... If I think about it, he does look like the worm I named! What is his real name...?

And, following that train of thought, Gelmut forced his own mind to remember what name he bestowed on that goblin. It's not like Gelmut wasted any time remembering each of the names he gave to the worms in his path, but he really wanted to remember this one!

"You are... Rigur... aren't you?"

Gelmut mentally thanked the fact that his brain was so genius that he saved namespaces for creatures as insignificant as the worms in his path, proof of his great humility!

So, knowing that this was the goblin he had named, Gelmut calmed down. After all, what other reason would there be such a powerful goblin in this forest? There's no way some other Majin is naming creatures in this forest, so most likely the goblin evolved with time and effort, just as a worthy subordinate should.

Gelmut even felt a little sorry for knowing that he would kill the goblin in the future when he had the chance to find the Orc Lord and name him.

There was only one problem at the moment. How much of what he said had Rigur heard and how would Gelmut persuade the goblin? Well, if Gelmut really wanted to persuade the goblin, he would need to approach him first.

"So my dear named son, what do you do so close to d-"

"You're not even able to tell me apart from my brother, are you?"

And, as soon as he heard those words from the goblin, the Majin couldn't help but be surprised.

Brother? In fact the goblin named Rigur had a younger brother, but he was even weaker than Rigur himself, so how could the goblin in front of him be that weak and skinny brother of his named warrior?

Still, in the eyes of the goblin that stood in front of him, Gelmut could see the hatred the goblin carried for mistaking him for his brother. This, combined with the fact that monsters who were very weak were incapable of lying, confirmed that what he said was true.

This really was the younger brother of their named warrior.

"Im- Impressive! How could you evolve so much? Maybe you have more potential than your brother..."

Gelmut muttered the last part more to himself, figuring that perhaps he had chosen the wrong brother and that he should have selected the youngest and not the oldest. If he did that, it could be that the goblin in front of him would be much more useful than his brother, who was just a weak Goblin Hob.

Still, why not name him now? Since he didn't name an ogre, he could name the goblin now and get a powerful subordinate, one who could help him get revenge!
