The World's Ego

Eve of Walpurgis

Rimuru POV

I looked over the gathered army in front of me. They were all prepared to fight. The forces include:

10,000 Lycanthropes led by Eurazania's Three Beastkeeters

The Goblin Riders led by Gobta

The team of Ogres who serve Beni as his personal guards, Team Kurenai

4,000 Hobgoblins, the Green Numbers

5,000 Orcs led by Geld, the Yellow Numbers

Dragonewts led by Gabiru, the Blue Numbers

The Flame-chasers, Sakura and Kalpas

And protecting Tempest are Shion's personal guards, the revived residents, Yomigaeri

Mm. Everyone here is ready.

"Rimuru-sama! Everyone is here. We are ready." Beni announces

"Mm. Then let's begin the transport." I declared, holding my hand out

"Rimuru-sama." I turned my head to Alvis, "We will never forget your kindness."

"Now we'll be able to beat up Clayman's henchmen without worrying about a thing. We'll leave Clayman himself to you. Make sure you pummel him on our behalf too!" Suphia adds

As the Three Beastkeeters bowed gratefully to me, the Animal Brigade army behind them did the same. I nod, acknowledging their words before turning to Beni.

"I'm counting on you, Beni."

"There's no need to show them any mercy, Benimaru!" Shion shouts from beside me, giving Beni a smirk

"Trash must be disposed of quickly before it starts to stink." Diablo adds with a chuckle

"Be careful!" Shuna warns

"We'll give him a taste of hell so he won't ever defy you again." Beni smirks

I made a smile, "Alright! Go on and win!"

"""Yes, ma'am! We will bring you victory!"""

With their reassurance, I activated the transfer spell and slowly, they were all transported to the battlefield. Diablo applauds after seeing the display.

"Wonderfully done, Rimuru-sama. It was one truly magnificent spell." He praises with a grin

"Yes! It was great! Fascinating!" Shion adds with excitement

"Rimuru! How about I go there and beat the enemy instead?" Veldora suggests, cutting in

"Just hold onto your excitement, Veldora. I want to keep you a secret until Walpurgis. If you go there, then people will know it's you immediately and look down on me for depending on you." I explained to him

Veldora roars a laugh upon hearing that, "No way! You are super strong! Looking down on you will cost them! I will teach them a lesson too!" 

"I appreciate that, but really, just stay in Tempest for now. If I am really in trouble, I can call you with my skill."

"Really? Hm... Okay then."

I nodded and we proceeded to say our goodbyes to King Gazel and Duke Elalude as they returned to their home nations. At the same time, Youm and his friends would be heading to Falmuth to take over it.

"I shall return immediately, so rest assured." Diablo says to me with a bow

"Take your time!" I assured him

He looks up at me and silently bows again, "I shall return immediately, so rest assured."

"... Okay."
