[On Hold] I'm a what?! (That Time I got reincarnated as a slime x Male Reader)

Chapter 36: Finally meeting the puppet master

You won... the words still sounded strange in your ears as your form reverted to the much smaller and humanoid state it usually resides in. Milim Nava, the destroyer, a demon lord of extraordinary power and your mother had announced you had won in the spar you had just concluded; it was pure bliss feeling the sense of pride from her announcing the win and the free feeling coming from breaking the chains of humanity once holding you down.

Milim faced you, a sweet and motherly smile gracing her small lips and soft features as she leaned in and hugged you excitedly, she lifted you up with ease to properly show off her strength as she held you tightly in her arms and began to spin with you making the wind blow through your hair and the blood rush to your brain.

Milim: " Well done! you won! "

You: " You let me win though, still a win is a win! "

Milim: " Exactly, see you get it. Take any win you get even if it's a dirty one "

The two of you high fived once her little arms set you free, your feet touched the floor again as you looked down at her- she smirked and suddenly began to look beaten and bruised, injured beyond the fight you both just attended; you went to speak but she hushed you and fell to the floor in a collapsed and emotionless state, showing subtle signs of trying to get up and fight. You went to help her when the sound of wings were echoed in the night sky and two more humanoids arrived, making a soft landing on the floor as they did.

One of the humanoids started walking towards you both, he was tall with pinkish silver hair and pointed ears- he was adorned in a white suit and a cocky demeanour that resonated with every half stride he took towards the laying body of your mother on the floor; it seems he wasn't smart enough to notice her acting injured.

You: " Don't come closer, speak your name before you try approach me "

Clayman: " Silence him Frey "

The second newcomer fly towards you, she was a white haired and white feathered harpy wearing a red dress, she attempted to grab you with an outstretched hand but found herself buried 3 feet under ground as she was slammed into it hard enough to form a crater around her- the white haired man flung around to see you holding Frey's neck and pointing a night sky's worth of swords at him from above, you could practically smell his fear as he attempted to keep up his cocky or holy than thou façade.

Clayman: " You dare attack me? Clayman, I am a demon lord I'll have you know, Milim kill that boy "

You: " As painful as it was to do, I took my mother down already. I am (Y/N) Nava! You dare try have her attack me again when I left our battle unscathed? Foolish insect "

Clayman: " How dare you! I don't believe you took her down "

You: " There she lays, are you arrogant enough to believe you're strong enough to beat me? Want to put your life on the line for ego "

Clayman fell silent, he was meant to use Milim as his weapon but if she was taken down by you then he had nothing left, he knew he was never strong enough to fight Milim without cheap tricks so he had no chance against you who beat her unscathed. Clayman gritted his teeth and accepted that he had to retreat or try a dirty trick against you, he had to either approach himself or get Frey who you still held in the ground to do something.

You: " I do have an offer however "

Clayman's interest was peaked, his train of thought ran off track as he began to look at you- willing to listen as that was all he could do in the moment, deeming himself powerless in your presence, arrogant enough to hesitate but not stupid enough to try fight a losing battle. You noticed his interest in the alternative path out of the situation and decided to use it to spin him in your favour.

You: " The offer is simple, allow me to come with you to Walpurgis, I will be in disguise at the time and I plan to do my own thing once there but I need you to guide me there as it may help them believe I am acknowledged as a demon lord "

Clayman: " What's in it for me, the offer is beneficial to both of us no? "

You: " Of course, I am no con artist after all, I will help you. Simple as that, need town flattening then sure, need someone gone; they'll be erased. I will help you with your plan if you help me cement my position within the demon lords "

Clayman: " Sounds like a plan "

You: " Hands off my mother though, If I see you hit her,  I'll do the same but unlike her- you won't survive the smack "

Clayman nodded and gulped, heading back to the spot he landed as you released your hold on Frey who flew back to him; Milim eventually stood and winked at you since Clayman couldn't see her face from his angle, she was thanking you for going along with her plan and headed back to Clayman still pretending to be under his control before all three eventually began to fly away and back to wherever they came from. As soon as the three attackers left, the knights brigade formed from both kingdoms arrived with weapons ready- it appeared as if they waited for the enemies to leave but they didn't as you could hear their footsteps approaching quickly the whole time and were victims to misfortune.

The knight captain stood before you and bowed seeing you without a scratch, the poor man went to speak but was cut off as Eleanor and Kaya came rushing from the manor and towards the battlefield to see if you were ok, having woken up without you nearby. The girls smiled and hugged you tightly once they reached you and it took atleast an hour to explain everything to everyone including the secret plan to take down Clayman; but eventually all was ok and preparations needed to be made for your great reveal at Walpurgis.

Author's notes:

(( Heya guys, me again. It's been a long ride and I'm so happy that you all are enjoying the story so far! Season 3 is upon us after the end of Walpurgis but don't worry since I have things planned to fill the gaps until Season 3 starts to get interesting since majority is just talking right now.
