[00:01] (Flashback) Soei     Clayman's army will likely reach     Eurazania within two days. [00:06] (Flashback) Rimuru     He got a step ahead of us... [00:08] (Flashback) Rimuru     Damn that Clayman. SIGN    Animal Kingdom     of Eurazania [00:11] Rimuru     He's even more cunning than I thought. [00:13] Rimuru     He probably anticipated Walpurgis taking     place three nights from now, too. [00:18] Rimuru     He's planning to finish his     slaughter in the Animal Kingdom [00:21] Rimuru     while the other Demon Lords won't interfere. SIGN    That Time I Got     Reincarnated as a Slime SIGN    Episode 41: The Eve of Battle [02:06] Veldora     So who's your fave among these? [02:08] Veldora     I think mine's this one. [02:09] Ramiris     Fave? [02:12] Rimuru     Hey, Raphael-san... [02:14] Rimuru     If all the people left in the Animal     Kingdom of Eurazania are killed, [02:19] Rimuru     will Clayman have his awakening? [02:22] Raphael     Answer. SIGN    Answer [02:23] Raphael     The odds may be low, [02:24] Raphael     but it is likely he will acquire     a vast amount of souls. [02:28] Raphael     His chance of success is 78%. SIGN    Chance of Success [02:31] Rimuru     That number's a lot higher than pi. [02:34] Rimuru     I will stop him. [02:36] Rimuru     I don't know the names or faces of     the surviving citizens of Eurazania, [02:39] Rimuru     but our ties with them are friendly. [02:42] Rimuru     And that's why I won't hesitate     to intervene for them. [02:46] Albis     Great Rimuru... [02:50] Rimuru     Benimaru. [02:51] Benimaru     Yes? [02:52] Rimuru     Stop him. [02:53] Benimaru     Hell yeah! Leave it to me! [02:55] Benimaru     Uh, I mean... [02:56] Benimaru     You can count on me. [02:58] Rimuru     We then started to discuss exactly     how we could stop Clayman, but... [03:06] Rimuru     Looks like there's no way     to get there in time. [03:09] Rimuru     If only we could send everyone     there with transport magic... [03:13] Shuna     Great Rimuru, using transport magic     to move an army is much too dangerous. [03:17] Rimuru     Yeah, I know. I just thought I'd— SIGN    Answer [03:19] Raphael     Answer. [03:20] Raphael     Transport magic can be used to     send supplies at a low cost. [03:24] Raphael     The coordinates of the destination     are linked through another dimension, [03:28] Raphael     but the item sent is bathed in     a massive amount of magicules, [03:30] Raphael     so it is not recommended for     transporting organic matter. [03:33] Raphael     However, if one can be     protected with a barrier, [03:36] Raphael     they will not be affected by the transport. [03:38] Raphael     This is the principle of transport magic. [03:41] Rimuru     So, uh... what does that mean? [03:44] Raphael     Basically, if one is a majin or a monster, SIGN    Conditions for Transport SIGN    Has resistance to magicules SIGN    Is a majin or monster [03:46] Raphael     they will have a resistance to magicules, SIGN    Magicule Resistance [03:48] Raphael     so if they can put up their own     barrier, they will have no problems. SIGN    Can put up their own barrier SIGN    Can be transported               using magic. SIGN    Transport Target     Race: Human     Magicule Resistance: ×     Barrier: ×     Cannot Transport [03:53] Raphael     Alternatively, using a     Perfect Transport technique [03:56] Raphael     to protect the target also makes it possible. SIGN    Perfect Transport     Technique SIGN    Transport Target     Race: Human     Magicule Resistance: ×     Barrier: ×     Can Be Transported [03:59] Rimuru     Just so I know, can you make this technique? SIGN    Answer [04:02] Raphael     Answer. [04:03] Raphael     I have already developed it. [04:05] Rimuru     Huh?! SIGN    Extra Skill     Control Space     Combination [04:06] Raphael     By using it in combination with     the extra skill "Control Space," SIGN    Extra Skill     Control Space     Magicule cost has been greatly reduced. [04:10] Raphael     the magicule cost has been greatly reduced. [04:13] Rimuru     You develop skills and techniques for     me, and I don't even have to ask! [04:17] Rimuru     You're awesome, Raphael-san! [04:18] Raphael     Thank you. [04:20] Shuna     Great Rimuru? [04:22] Rimuru     Shuna's right. Moving an army with     transport magic is too dangerous. [04:26] Rimuru     But... [04:28] Benimaru     But? [04:30] Rimuru     I just now succeeded in developing a     new technique that makes it possible! [04:35] Shuna     Oh! [04:35] Shuna     What?! [04:36] Phobio     Just now? [04:37] Benimaru     Typical. [04:41] Rimuru     Actually, it was Raphael-san, not me. [04:44] Rimuru     If our whole army can get there     in time, victory is ours! [04:47] Rimuru     I actually feel a little sorry for Clayman. [04:49] Rimuru     If Raphael-san and I hadn't evolved, [04:51] Rimuru     you might have won, after all. [04:54] Rimuru     All that's left is to determine     how ready you guys are. [04:56] Rimuru     I can send our entire army there     at once using this technique, [04:59] Rimuru     but I haven't confirmed that it's safe. [05:01] Rimuru     Do you still trust me? [05:04] Benimaru     I don't even need to think it over. [05:06] Benimaru     My loyalty is to you, Great Rimuru. [05:08] Benimaru     As your faithful retainer, [05:10] Benimaru     if you ordered me to die, I would die. [05:13] Suphia     I trust you. [05:15] Suphia     Like hell we could ever     doubt you, Great Rimuru. [05:18] Phobio     He saved me once. [05:20] Phobio     I won't tolerate any complaints from my men. [05:22] Albis     Goodness. It sounds as if I have     no choice but to agree, as well. [05:26] Albis     I will put my trust in your     strength, Great Rimuru. [05:30] Rimuru     Okay! Your lives are safe in my hands! [05:33] Rimuru     Now we'll get up above Clayman's plan! [05:35] Rimuru     The rest is up to all of     you! Make sure you win! [05:38] All     Yes, sir! [05:39] Someone     All right! [05:48] Rimuru     Thanks for sticking out that     long meeting, everyone. [05:51] Rimuru     Things will start getting     rough again tomorrow, though. [05:53] Rimuru     I'll be counting on you. [05:54] Shuna     Of course. Leave it all to us. [05:56] Rimuru     If I could pinpoint Clayman's location, [05:59] Rimuru     I could raid him with Spatial     Movement and end all this. [06:02] Shuna     But won't Clayman be attending Walpurgis? [06:06] Shuna     You might miss him. [06:07] Rimuru     True... [06:08] Shion     I know! [06:09] Rimuru     Shion! [06:11] Shion     Why don't we crash Walpurgis [06:13] Shion     and cut down Clayman along with any     Demon Lords who take issue with us?! [06:17] Rimuru     Just going after Clayman would be one thing, [06:19] Rimuru     but we don't want to start     fights with other Demon Lords. [06:21] Shion     I... I see... [06:23] Rimuru     Uh, but crashing the party     might be a good idea! [06:28] Rimuru     Hey, Ramiris, could I attend the event, too? [06:30] Rimuru     What? Attend Walpurgis? [06:32] Rimuru     I just thought it might be interesting     to go see Clayman myself. [06:37] Rimuru     It'd really throw him for a loop, right? [06:39] Ramiris     Hmm... [06:41] Ramiris     I think it'd probably be fine, [06:43] Ramiris     but you can only take two others with you. [06:45] Ramiris     They made that rule because of some     problems that came up in the past. [06:51] Rimuru     What do you think? [06:54] Diablo     A splendid idea. [06:56] Diablo     When the time comes, I shall accompany— [06:58] Shion     Diablo, you fool! [07:00] Shion     I shall be accompanying him!     I will not budge on this! [07:02] Diablo     Although, if it comes to a fight,     he need only mow them down. [07:07] Diablo     Great Rimuru could surely handle it alone. [07:09] Shion     Exactly! [07:11] Shion     I thought you were a fool, but for     a newcomer, you do show promise! [07:21] Rimuru     They seem to be hitting it off... [07:23] Rimuru     Hang on, now. Don't rush things. [07:25] Rimuru     Nothing's decided yet. [07:26] Rimuru     Also, I asked you to help     with the Kingdom of Falmuth, [07:29] Rimuru     so I can't take you with me anyway. [07:31] Diablo     True. Understood. [07:34] Shuna     But... it will still be dangerous, won't it? [07:37] Benimaru     No. [07:39] Benimaru     I doubt Lady Milim betrayed us, [07:41] Benimaru     but if nothing else, it's true that     she sold out Demon Lord Carrion. [07:45] Benimaru     I don't think it would be a bad idea     to look into that at Walpurgis. [07:49] Ramiris     That's right! [07:51] Ramiris     There's no way Milim would     ever take orders from Clayman. [07:56] Ramiris     I mean, Milim only looks out for herself! [07:59] Rimuru     Are you in any position to     accuse someone of that? [08:02] Shion     It's unthinkable that Lady Milim     would betray Great Rimuru! [08:06] Shion     It's only a baseless hunch, but I'm     convinced there can be no doubt! [08:09] Rimuru     Baseless, huh? [08:12] Rimuru     Well, to be honest, I don't feel     like I've been betrayed, either. [08:16] Rimuru     I'm going to have faith in Milim. [08:19] Rimuru     But that doesn't mean I     think we should do nothing. [08:23] Rimuru     What Ramiris said about the mastermind... [08:25] Rimuru     or at least, the cause of this     being Clayman, was good insight. [08:29] Ramiris     Right? Right, right?! [08:31] Ramiris     Of course Great Detective     Ramiris's judgment was correct! [08:35] Treyni     Naturally. [08:36] Trya     Wonderful work, Lady Ramiris. [08:41] Rimuru     So that's why I want to attend Walpurgis     and try to get some answers. [08:47] Rimuru     The question is who to take... [08:54] Rimuru     If I don't take her,     she'll probably go bananas. [08:56] Rimuru     Well, it might give her a chance to get     revenge on Clayman for killing her. [09:02] Rimuru     Okay. I'll take Shion and Ranga with me. [09:05] Shion     Thank you so much! [09:06] Ranga     You can count on me, Master! [09:11] Veldora     So you're up to it now, eh? [09:13] Veldora     Rimuru! Don't leave me out like that! [09:15] Veldora     I'm going with you, as well! [09:18] Veldora     Demon Lords don't scare me! [09:20] Rimuru     Just hang on a sec, Veldora. [09:22] Rimuru     I want you to stay here     and protect this city. [09:25] Veldora     What?! [09:26] Veldora     But I could destroy a Demon Lord     with one little squeeze! [09:29] Rimuru     Protecting this city is     an important job, too. [09:32] Rimuru     Actually, it's the most important job of all. [09:35] Veldora     Hm? [09:36] Veldora     The most important? [09:38] Rimuru     Yeah, so I need you to stay here. Okay? [09:40] Ramiris     Hey, Rimuru! [09:42] Ramiris     Master can come along as my subordinate! [09:45] Ramiris     Then, I'll be safe, too! [09:47] Veldora     No, I have no interest in     going along to protect you. [09:52] Ramiris     What?! Come on! Don't be mean, Master! [09:56] Rimuru     Wait, why is she calling him "Master"? [09:59] Rimuru     Veldora, spreading the word about     you is actually part of the plan. [10:03] Rimuru     We talked about that at the meeting,     so you know about it, right? [10:07] Veldora     Yes! Of course I do! [10:10] Veldora     Uh-oh... I can't tell him I wasn't listening! [10:14] Rimuru     And this is what Clayman will probably think: [10:18] Rimuru     "This majin called Rimuru is merely a small     fry borrowing the authority of Veldora." [10:22] Veldora     What?! [10:24] Veldora     Damn that Clayman! I'll make him pay! [10:26] Shion     That insect ought to learn his place! [10:28] Shion     It seems I need to go there     and kill him after all! [10:33] Benimaru     Sheesh... [10:34] Benimaru     Calm down, Shion. [10:36] Benimaru     Great Rimuru was only     speaking hypothetically. [10:38] Rimuru     Putting them on their guard by taking     Veldora would defeat the purpose, right? [10:43] Veldora     Oh? So that's what you meant. [10:45] Shion     That's our Great Rimuru! [10:48] Diablo     The mere fact that he could belittle     Great Rimuru is unforgivable. [10:51] Diablo     I would like to purge him with     my own hands, but this time... [10:55] Diablo     I will support my senior secretary. [10:56] Shion     Oh, so you do get it! [11:00] Rimuru     Are these two actually good friends? [11:03] Shion     So you plan to gain an advantage in     negotiation by making him let his guard down? [11:07] Shuna     Won't that be dangerous, too? [11:09] Rimuru     It'll be fine. [11:10] Rimuru     I can actually call Veldora with     my Summon Storm Dragon skill. [11:14] Veldora     What?! You can?! [11:16] Rimuru     If things get too dicey,     I'll ask for your help. [11:19] Rimuru     I just want you to quietly     protect this city until then. [11:24] Veldora     I get it! I'm the hero     who arrives on a delay! [11:28] Ramiris     That's so unfair. [11:29] Rimuru     I'd rather hear you call it clever. [11:31] Rimuru     Besides, that frees up one of your     two attendant slots, doesn't it? [11:36] Ramiris     Hey, you do get it, Rimuru! [11:38] Ramiris     So who are you sending with me, then? [11:41] Rimuru     Well, I think Hakuro— [11:42] Treyni     Wait a moment! [11:44] Treyni     Great Rimuru, please     appoint me for this task. [11:49] Ramiris     Treyni... [11:51] Ramiris     I can't believe you would... [11:53] Trya     I wish to ask the same of you. [11:55] Trya     Please allow my sister to     accompany Lady Ramiris. [12:04] Rimuru     Okay, Treyni-san, if you would. [12:10] Treyni     Of course! [12:11] Ramiris     Treyni! [12:13] Rimuru     I will take Shion and Ranga to Walpurgis, [12:17] Rimuru     and Ramiris will take Beretta and Treyni-san. [12:22] Rimuru     And the ace up our sleeve     will be the Veldora summon! [12:32] Rimuru     Leon Cromwell, the Demon Lord that     Shizu-san had a history with, [12:36] Rimuru     will probably be at Walpurgis, too. [12:39] Rimuru     But our target this time     is Clayman and no one else. [12:47] Rimuru     Clayman, you've made an enemy of me. [12:50] Rimuru     If it's a fight you want,     you'd better be ready. [12:53] Rimuru     And if you're gonna mess with my friends, [12:55] Rimuru     I'll just have to make     sure you pay the price. SIGN    City of the Forgotten Dragon [13:09] Middray     Argh! Those detestable bastards! [13:12] Middray     How dare they mock us with     suggestions of cooperation?! [13:15] Hermes     Father Middray, we need to     just do as they say this time. [13:19] Hermes     Their commander, Yamza, had a     written order from Lady Milim. [13:24] Middray     Quiet, Hermes. I know that.     You don't need to tell me. [13:28] Hermes     Destroying Eurazania... I guess even     Lady Milim has some issues, huh? [13:32] Middray     Watch your tongue, Hermes! [13:34] Middray     Never doubt the actions of Lady Milim! [13:37] Hermes     Uh... I know, but... [13:39] Hermes     It's because he's so soft on her     that I have to suffer all the time. [13:43] Middray     Still, the nerve of that damn Clayman! [13:46] Middray     Imagine forcing Lady Milim to     write an order like that... [13:50] Hermes     I know. [13:51] Hermes     But it was definitely her handwriting, [13:53] Hermes     and since it's an order, we have no choice. [13:55] Hermes     Clayman's army ate the entire contents     of our third food storehouse. [14:00] Hermes     We only have seven left. [14:02] Hermes     We're gonna have a rough time     until the next harvest season. [14:05] Middray     Bastards! [14:11] Hermes     A red melon... [14:19] Middray     Yamza, the Magic Swordsman of Ice... [14:22] Middray     Hermes, stand strong. [14:25] Hermes     Understood. [14:31] Yamza     Father Middray, thank you     for supplying us with food. [14:35] Yamza     When you have an army of 30,000 to feed, [14:38] Yamza     there is never enough to go around. [14:42] Middray     I'm honored to be of help. [14:45] Middray     But unfortunately, we cannot afford     to supply you with any more. [14:50] Middray     It would sadden Lady Milim     if the people went hungry... [14:54] Yamza     What are you talking about?! [14:55] Yamza     Demon Lord Milim made her choice! [14:58] Yamza     Shouldn't you be treating us,     the ones cleaning up her mess, [15:02] Yamza     with the greatest courtesy? [15:06] Yamza     Well? [15:09] Middray     Please, forgive me. [15:11] Middray     I was unable to think of     anyone but our own people. [15:15] Middray     We will do anything we can to assist you, [15:17] Middray     so do not hesitate to ask. [15:20] Hermes     He didn't turn into a melon... [15:22] Hermes     Well, if he lost his temper now, [15:23] Hermes     these guys would probably use it as     an excuse to wipe out this country. [15:27] Yamza     Is that so? Then I'll give you     an opportunity to help us. [15:32] Yamza     You can at least transport     supplies for us, can't you? [15:35] Hermes     W-Wait just a moment! [15:37] Hermes     You stole our food, and now     you want to take our labor— [15:47] Yamza     Shut up, trash. [15:55] Yamza     Oh? Still don't know your place? [15:57] Yamza     I guess you want to die. [16:00] Hermes     He's on a damn power trip! [16:13] Middray     I do beg your pardon, Sir Yamza. [16:16] Middray     I will give this fool a good talking-to. [16:19] Middray     For my sake, please forgive him. [16:22] Yamza     Hmph. It's not easy having     idiots among your ranks. [16:25] Yamza     I'll let it slide just this once. [16:27] Yamza     We'll be departing tomorrow morning. [16:29] Yamza     All of you priests had     better get ready quick. [16:47] Middray     You fool. This is why I warned you. [16:50] Hermes     I'm sorry... I couldn't stop myself. [16:53] Middray     Holy Magic: Recovery. [17:00] Middray     Well, no matter. [17:01] Middray     Even with the priests away, the people     won't face immediate hardship. [17:05] Middray     But curse that man! [17:07] Middray     How dare he hurt Lady Milim's people?! [17:10] Hermes     Father Middray... [17:11] Hermes     You kicked the stuffing out of me, too. [17:14] Hermes     You said it. Hey, can I kill him? [17:18] Middray     Fool! You could never best him! [17:20] Hermes     You're right. His sword is trouble, [17:23] Hermes     and it seemed like he was     hiding something else, too. [17:25] Middray     Yes. Typical of a confidant of that     underhanded Demon Lord Clayman. [17:28] Middray     It seems he won't show us his hand so easily! [17:30] Middray     A true man would achieve     victory by baring all! [17:34] Hermes     True. [17:37] Middray     We must prepare for departure. [17:41] Hermes     Right. [17:45] Middray     Still, I wonder why     Lady Milim has not returned... [17:52] Rimuru     Hmm... [17:53] Rimuru     How can we protect the people of Eurazania? [17:57] Rimuru     Is there a safe place for them? [17:59] Raphael     Suggestion. [18:00] Raphael     The most efficient choice would be to     transport all the people to one place. [18:04] Rimuru     Huh? [18:05] Rimuru     Oh, yeah! That's it! [18:07] Rimuru     Yeah, you're right! [18:09] Rimuru     The army isn't the only     thing we can transport! [18:12] Rimuru     You've done it again, Raphael-san!     It's just like Columbus's egg! [18:16] Raphael     It is nothing so phenomenal. [18:18] Rimuru     R-Really? [18:19] Rimuru     Anyway, we just need to move     the citizens here first! [18:23] Rimuru     All right! [18:25] Rimuru     So I gave Geld the order, [18:27] Rimuru     and within a few hours, we made preparations     to accept a lot of refugees. [18:32] Rimuru     I immediately made use of my new technique [18:35] Rimuru     and sent the people of Eurazania     to Tempest in quick succession. [18:39] Rimuru     Since I had Phobio with me, [18:41] Rimuru     they all listened willingly     to what I had to say, [18:44] Rimuru     and the whole process went smoothly. [18:47] Rimuru     We continued to transport more and     more of them in without rest... [18:51] Rimuru     and by morning, all those remaining     in Eurazania had been transported. [18:59] Rimuru     You doing okay? [19:01] Phobio     I'm pretty tired... [19:03] Phobio     How are you not, after using transport     magic continuously on such a huge scale? [19:08] Rimuru     Well, that's because... [19:09] Phobio     Because? [19:11] Rimuru     I'm the leader of Tempest! [19:14] Phobio     That's not an answer at all. [19:17] Phobio     But I suppose that must be why. [19:21] Rimuru     Anyway! We don't have time to take breaks! [19:24] Rimuru     There's still more I need you guys to do! [19:27] Phobio     Right. [19:28] Rimuru     Yes... [19:30] Rimuru     The battle against Clayman's     army still awaits us. [19:43] Rimuru     Our forces consist of 10,000 Lycanthropes, SIGN    The Animal King's Brigade [19:47] Rimuru     led by Eurazania's Three Beastketeers,     Albis, Suphia, and Phobio... [19:52] Rimuru     The Goblin Riders, led by Gobta... [19:56] Rimuru     and a team of Ogres who serve     as Benimaru's personal guard, [19:59] Rimuru     a team we call Kurenai. [20:02] Rimuru     We also have 4,000 Hobgoblins, [20:05] Rimuru     a team we call the Green Numbers... [20:08] Rimuru     5,000 High Orcs led by Geld, [20:11] Rimuru     the Yellow Numbers... [20:13] Rimuru     and the Dragonewts led by     Gabiru, known as Hiryu. [20:17] Rimuru     That's a total of 20,000 soldiers. [20:20] Rimuru     And protecting Tempest is     Shion's personal guard, [20:24] Rimuru     numbering about 100. [20:25] Rimuru     Since they're the ons     I brought back to life, [20:28] Rimuru     I named their team Yomigaeri. [20:31] Benimaru     Great Rimuru! [20:33] Benimaru     Everyone is here. [20:34] Benimaru     We are ready. [20:36] Rimuru     Okay. Then, let's get you all transported. [20:40] Albis     Great Rimuru. [20:42] Albis     We will never forget your kindness. [20:44] Suphia     Now we'll be able to beat up Clayman's     henchmen without worrying about a thing. [20:49] Suphia     We'll leave Clayman himself to you. [20:51] Suphia     Make sure you pummel him on our behalf, too! [21:04] Rimuru     I'm counting on you. [21:07] Shion     There's no need to show     them any mercy, Benimaru! [21:13] Diablo     Trash must be disposed of quickly,     before it starts to stink. [21:17] Shuna     Be careful! [21:18] Benimaru     We'll give him a taste of Hell     so he won't ever defy you again. [21:22] Rimuru     Good. [21:24] Rimuru     Now, win! [21:26] All     Yes, sir! We will bring you victory! [22:03] Rimuru     Please win this battle safely. [23:37] Raphael     Next time, "The Demon Lords." SIGN    The Demon Lords
