Clayman found the situation unfathomable, his eyes became bloodshot.His gaze swiftly alternated between Millim and us.And, when he turned his gaze onto the other Demon Lords, He became petrified.It seemed he had realized, that he had confessed about controlling Milim.Though it's just an act of Milim. The tables had turned, it was Clayman who was actually being manipulated.Clayman became flustered and began to slowly back away.
「Preposterous...Demon Marionette should have been succeeded completely!Why are you not under the control of the Incantation? This can't be happening!」
He blurted out bewildered muttering.The situation was untenable.The cat was already out of the bag. He could no longer make any excuses. There is only one way left for him.The Demon Lords already knew Clayman had tried to manipulate Milim. How each Demon Lord would interpret this varied.However, the verdict for the perpetrator of such heinous actions had already been decided.Although there was a non-aggression pact between the Demon Lords, it didn't encompass instigating a fight.In the end, Clayman had lost his trustworthiness.His demise was imminent. How pitiful.But, the other Demon Lords did not get a chance to give Clayman a complementary one-way ticket to the deepest recesses of oblivion.
「Yea, It was quite hard acting!You know, the magic you used was completely ineffective.For the magic to even begin to take effect, I had to lower the multiple barriers that perpetually surround my body.Then I needed to forcibly lower my resistances to your magic.Then I needed to act perfectly to make you believe I was under your incantation.You are cautious, so, I had to make you feel like you had absolute control over me. Just like that! I tried my best to fool you, you know?」「Wh...What the...? It was an act? I... It was a deliberate act?The Demon Marionette should have dominated everyone, even a Demon Lord!This is an Ultimate Incantation!!!」「Is that so? But, it was impossible to dominate me you know.You see, my specialty is to dispel things like this!」
Milim proudly proclaimed, while puffing out her chest.The other females in the room could only glare at her and sigh.
「However, I began to worry when Clayman hit Milim before.I had no worry in the successfulness of Millm's plan. However, I was worrying my house would be left in rubble.Really, I'm glad you could endure it.」(ED: the definition of scum is literally a picture of Clayturd's face when you look it up the dictionary)
The Harpy, Demon Lord Frey, spoke while spreading out her wings.Not only hitting her this time, he had also hit her before? (Ed: really scum.)What a guy. Does he have a death wish?
「Ummm... I'm also an adult. Adults can endure these sorts of things.」Although there was an emphasis on her being an adult, she still held the aura of being a child. 「Which part? Well, it's fine.At any rate, why did you try to fool Clayman?」「Mmmm..? You know, I remembered that Clayman was making some highly suspicious propositions.Like his plan to attack Tempest City with a human army to make humans and monsters go to war.Because interesting things would've been lost if this were to occur, I decided to put an end to his conspiracy!」「Really? You... just did it by yourself....」「Fuwahahahaha! Like I said, I'm an adult!」
「Yes, yes, You are an adult.But, Clayman, You! You arrogant fool.I don't think you have the qualification to call yourself a Demon Lord.Even though I didn't interfere, because Milim had to endure serving under you... I'm also a little angry.」
Frey said in tranquil fury.
「So that's it... I also have a lot to say, my town also got vaporized.So, Clayman, I'm going to get you!」
Demon Lord Karion declared, while splendidly dumping Milim's responsibility on Clayman.It seems like Clayman provoked anger from the other Demon Lords.However, the most infuriated individual was myself.To Milim, who was doing her best for me and the other's sake, I was really happy.She even got hit by that low-life....(ED: scum... just scum.)It's decided, your chance to die in peace is gone. Prepare to be purged and beg for your death.
「I ask for your forgiveness. But this guy is my opponent. Because I call myself a Demon Lord, I will prepare my seat by myself.I will use this person as a ticket for all of you to recognize my admission for being a Demon Lord.」I exclaimed, as if Clayman were just a tool to achieve my goals, so it can't be helped.Well... My real intention was to check how strong I am.Only Milim smiled happily.Even if I didn't say it, my anger was transmitted to the others.Clayman, have you regained your composure while hearing our conversation?
「Kukuku. Is that so? Just like that? It brings tear to my eyes, to spy for your friend's sake.Wahahahahahahaha. This is truly a joyous occasion.That feared tyrant Milim, is now a gopher for someone else?Why should I be afraid of this person? What a joke.That's fine. Although it is a bit early, allow me to use my trump card!」
So he said, while taking out a jewel of various colors from his pocket.I feel spirit power from that jewel... that level of energy is equal to around 10,000 human souls....

Flash!Upon the light beginning to dim, the person who stood there had been transformed into a being that's very different from before.The hair of the being emanated spiritual energy; a trail of dazzling multicolored light was left in its wake. The length of the hair had also greatly increased.All The clothes on his upper body were torn in multiple places revealing colossal amounts of muscle lying beneath it.His eyes were tinged with a rainbow hue as he glared around the room.That being emitted holy power on a level that could rival the Giant Demon Lord Dagruel.Clayman forced an artificial Demon Lord evolution using that stone as a catalyst.By absorbing energy from the Spirit Jewel; he forcibly awakened himself as a Demon Lord.However, because the used energy attribute was different from his own, he evolved into an uncompleted state, a Variant Demon Lord.But, because he didn't need to wait the blessing of the harvest festival to occur, he would be able Utilize his full power immediately.
(POV change to Clayman)The body, that was just undergone evolution, was still weak.But my Unique Skill 『Puppeteer』, show signs of evolving after receiving the energy; a truly devastating power.Indeed, by gaining this power, I no longer feel inferior to that being over there.No, I understand.I am not a True Demon Lord, after all, this is only an imitation of it.
This is power!This is an awakening!And, this is the strength of a Demon Lord!
In response to the energy ball that I shot as a test, Demon Lord Karion is thrown to the back.Frey is the same. To defend against that, it was impossible.Just like what I expected, Milim didn't even flinch. What an annoying brat.But, it's still difficult to win against them even if I was awakened a long time ago.The Demon Lords who survived through at least three Great War.Apart from that cheeky fairy; Guy, Milim and Dagruel are particularly troublesome.I can handle the newcomer Demon Lords but these three people are bad news.As usual, I can always calmly judge the situation.By blowing away 2 Demon Lords, I can quickly confirm the situation.It's irritating that the slime and his companion in the back are safe, but first, I need to withdraw to reorganize.If it's necessary, I'll crush them one by one.I need to report to 'That Person' who gave me this jewel, to consult about the plan for future actions.In that case, the plan has been decided.
By firing Demon Lord Destruction Cannon (Demon Blaster) at maximum output, it's possible touse it to create an opening for an escape.The one who I should be wary of is Guy, but that person didn't show any interest in this matter.It's all right. It's possible to escape. That's the judgment I made.While thinking about these things, I released the Demon Blaster.It was a destructive power that could eradicate even a Demon Lord. The accumulated energy became a disruption ray, which can cause destruction of one's magic power array inside the victim's body.Physical defense would be useless, even a barrier that utilizes magic power would be destroyed against this ultimate magic attack.If concentrated against an individual, someone who can withstand this doesn't exist.This time, because I fire it for a wide area, there might be some survivor but there is no time for leisure.
I laughed at the power of the Demon Lord Destruction Cannon (Demon Blaster) I fired which drastically powered up more than I ever imagined by the evolution.
The Demon Blaster filled the surroundings with light, dyeing the vicinity with rainbow.....✦✧✦✧✦
