⌠Promotion Competition of the New Four Heavenly Kings nya.
Uliminus, the former leader of the Intelligence and Espionage unit of the Demon Army, the Silent Ear, and current manager of the Variety Store, Ăgo, was reading the report that one of her agents had brought her.
Although Uliminus had already retired from the Demon Army, she still kept in contact with her subordinates, who kept her up to date with the recent events in the Demon Army.
⌠Certainly, many influential Demons have left the Demon Army since the abdication of Gozaru nya, and there is also the recent defeat against Cryroad nya, so this could be a good plan to restore the morale of soldiers nya⌠It seems that that M muscle brain finally thought of something good nya.
ăDoes something happen to you? You has already sneezed twice Fufun-sama ă
ă ⌠It-It is nothing Doctor Mephisto⌠Although certainly, itâs strange to sneeze like that⌠Ah!? Impossible, could it be that Yuiguard-sama was talking about me!? ă
While watching that woman, who had begun to speak like a maiden in love, Doctor Mephisto thought,
⌠Ha~a, Fufun-sama always loses herself for a while when she gets that wayâŚ
At the same time he let out a sighed as he resumed the supervision of the resurrection.
ââ THE NEXT DAY ⢠DEMON KINGâS CASTLE ââ
The arena of the Stadium that was located in the basement of the Demon Kingâs Castle was riddled with monsters.
Each of those monsters were Demons who had expressed their desire to participate in the challenges of the Promotion Competition of the New Four Heavenly Kings that would take place today.
Everyone in the Stadium began to raise their voice as they clapped at the moment when Demon King Yuiguard rose from his throne.
In response to that, Yuiguard raised his right hand to greet them, and then, after clearing his throat, he said, ăGood morning everyone, we will now begin the first trial of the Promotion Competition of the New Four Heavenly Kings. Show me everything you have! Thatâs all!ă
All the inhabitants of the stadium trembled with emotion at the moment when Yuiguardâs imposing voice flooded every corner of the stadium.
All those who had been flooded with emotion responded by raising their applause and cheers.
ăTo think that I would end up in this state after having taken so long to rebuild myselfâŚă
Said the skull of Calshim the skeleton, after his body completely collapsed due to the emotion he felt when he heard Yuiguardâs voice.
ăThatâs why I told you that you shouldnât overdo ită
The Golem Cocites said with a frown as he picked up Clashimâs bones.
Behind them, only the excited screams of the audience could be heard, whose mood kept rising after hearing Yuiguardâs words.
ă⌠Huhă
ă⌠*koke*ăfaintăă
ââSTADIUM RUNNING TRACKââ
The Competition was made up of a series of trials that would be carried out in the Stadiumâs Arena during the first two days and a real combat during the third day.
Among those trials were the Power Trial, the Resistance Trial, the Jumping Capacity Ttrial and many other trials, through which it is sought to allow each competitor to be able to perform in what he was best specialized in.
Finally, after collecting the trials results of those two days, a real-style battle will take place on the third and final day of the trials.
However, since it is assumed that the final result of the competition will depend considerably on the results obtained in general, everyone went to the Stadium with their spirit to the fullest from day one.
Currently, a series of straight lines had been drawn in the center of the arena in preparation for the Speed ââTrial that was about to take place.
Yuiguard, who was watching the people who lined up next to each other for the Trial from one of the VIP seats, frowned and asked, ă⌠Of all the people, why did they have to be the ones who lined up?ă, as he turned to Fufun.
ăIt seems that, coincidentally, their names came out at the same time when it was decided who would participate nowă
In response to Fufunâs words, Yuiguard muttered, ă⌠Then I guess it canât be helpedâŚă, while turning his sight back to the starting line with a problematic look.
First place: The Slime Mort
Second place: The Slime Deras
Third place: The Slime Goliath
Fourth place: The Slime Purun
The four blue Slimes, and with a similar size, lined up next to each other on the starting line.
⌠I donât know who is whoâŚ
Yuiguard thought to himself as he clicked his tongue.
ăReady? Go!ă
The four Slimes began to advance simultaneously at the moment when Fugy and Mugy, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, gave the signal.
Then,
ăFufu, Iâm sorry, but Iâm not just a Slime!ă, said the Slime Mort as he jumped into the air.
At that time, his body acquired a humanoid form.
ăWhat is that?ă
ăIt is a variant of Slime, The Emperor Slime, which is capable of acquiring humanoid formă, Fufun explained to Yuiguard while arranging his glasses - aesthetic -.
ăFufu, Iâll be the number one~!ă
ăI wonât allow it, desu!ă, said the Slime Purun as he took an elongated shape and threw himself on the Slime Mortâs legs.
Mort, whose legs had been tied, fell on the ground.
ăWhat are you doing ~!?ă
ăThis Purun will get the first place, desu!ă
Mort and Purun started arguing while they were on the ground.
On the other hand, the Slime Goliath, who advanced steadily, quickly left the pair behindâŚ
ă⌠Youâre so coo~l⌠I like you~⌠I want us to be one~ă
⌠While he was persistently chased by the Female Slime Deras, who kept relentlessly behind him while acting like a complete stalker.
⌠What the heck is wrong with her?⌠Whatâs with the way sheâs looking at meâŚ
Goliath, who had earned a reputation among the group for always acting like a dandy*, barely managed to remain calm while desperately trying to stay as far away as posible from the Slime Deras, whose sighs he could practically feel touching his skin.
At the end, Goliath managed to get first place in the race, however, this one, who was still chased by Deras, continued running to escape from her, disappearing completely from the place.
ă⌠Hey, will this continue? I ask you if this will continue ă, asked Yuiguard, who couldnât help feeling deeply frustrated with the result of the first Trial.
ă⌠What if we moved Yuiguard-sama?ă, said Fufun, who guided Yuiguard to another place while using her body as a shield so that Yuiguard did not see the participants who were lining up at the starting line for the next race.
On the starting line there were four gray Slime, ready for the race.
ââ WEIGHTLIFTING TRIAL ZONE ââ
The Weightlifting Trial consisted of charging the Volcanic Stone Giant, Dodoskoy.
Since the mass production of Dodoskoys had now become possible, several of them were prepared, which would be added one by one every 10 minutes to the participants.
It was possible to hear the roars of admiration from the spectators of the competition everywhere
ăAlright, letâs add another Dodoskoyă, said the Snake Princess, Yorumeet, while using her tail to place another Dodoskyo over the challenger.
Everyone expressed their admiration when Yorumeet placed the fifth Dodoskyo on the challenger, the Onihito(Ogre person)* Kisaragi, who had managed to charge the Dodoskoys for 40 minutes already.
Most of the other challengers had only managed to continue charging the Dodoskoys for 30 minutes, in other words, only 3 of them, which said a lot about how powerful Kisaragi was.
⌠It feels so light that itâs starting to get creepy.
Kisaragi thought to himself while smiling, as she held the Dodoskoys without any problem.
ăShe does really well to be a womană
ăSeriously, that powerful woman is so coolă
ăThe men barely supported 3 of them. That woman is wonderfulă
ăItâs the first time I see a woman as unique as she isă
⌠That they say it with such confidence is a bitâŚ
Kisaragi began to slowly lower the Dodoskoys while her cheeks were dyed red.
Yorumeet showed a perplexed look when she saw that.
ăWhat happens? He~y, you can still continue, isnât it?ă, she said as she looked at Kisaragi.
However, Kisaragi just covered her face with her hands, and said, ăNo⌠This is my limit, I retireâŚă, as she started running out of the place with her red face.
The powerful, but weak maiden, Kisaragi, could not help but be deeply ashamed when she heard everyone calling her a ăGood Womană.
Yorumeet could only hold his head while watching him escape.
The New Four Heavenly Kings Promotion Competition was just beginning.
ââ IN A CERTAIN PLACE ââ
ăAnd first place is for⌠Golden Hair Braveman*!ă
A roar echoed throughout the stadium after those words were heard.
ăAmazing~, that guy wears a full body armoră
ăItâs amazing that he can move so fast while wearing such heavy equipment like thată
ăItâs not only fast, the speed at which he dug was incredibly fast, Iâm sure is not someone normală
ă Also, just look how well he arrange the spears in the backgroundă
The site where the Hole Excavation Competition was held was flooded by roars of admiration for a while.
â â NANIWA CITY â â
Naniwa City was known for being a commercial city.
Furio was walking through one of the wholesale markets to buy merchandise with which to supply the Variety Store, UgĂ´.
ăFurio-sama, there it isă
As always, the Silk Fleece administrator, Fettabetch, called Furio with a fearless smile on her face as she smoked from her pipe.
ăThis time I will recover everything I have lost against youă, Fettabetch said as she began to laugh.
However, Furio, who just stood in front of Fettabetch with his usual smile, said, ăPlease, listen to me, Fettabetch-san, remember that my children were born some time ago?ă.
ăEh?, Y-Yes, I remember it, congratulationsă
ăVery well, then in that case, look at these pictures I took of them. They are really adorable, look. This one here is my son Garyl, and this is my daughter ElizabethâŚă
After that, Furio began to boast not only about the children he had with Lys, but also of Slape and Bireriâs daughter, Risley, and even Saberâs children, about whom he continued talking for hours.
ăWell, Iâll come back another dayă, furio said, after he finished talking about the children, as he returned home with a smile on his face.
ă⌠Furio-danna*, did you just come here to boast about your children?ă, Fettabetch murmured as she watched Furio leaving with a bewildered look on his face.
