Hearing Emiya Shirou's words, the surrounding Demon Lords could not help but turn their gazes toward him.
In their eyes, a confrontation like this should always be king against king, Demon Lord against Demon Lord. A general had no place declaring victory on behalf of a king.
Yet Emiya Shirou did exactly that.
What made it even stranger was Rimuru's reaction.
After hearing Emiya Shirou's words, Rimuru visibly calmed down. Then, he smiled.
"That's right," Rimuru said. "Victory will definitely be ours."
"And we can take this chance to save Milim as well."
"Killing two birds with one stone."
"What a joke!" Clayman roared. "You'll die miserably, you lowly slime!"
Clayman was unwilling to be outdone. He declared his own victory with venom.
In response, Rimuru only gave him a look of pure contempt.
"You're the one who's going to die, Clayman."
"To deal with you, I don't even need to move."
"Even Shirou doesn't need to make a move."
"Your opponent is just Shion."
Rimuru truly looked down on Clayman's strength.
Clayman was nothing more than an ordinary Demon Lord Seed.
Rimuru, on the other hand, was an Awakened Demon Lord.
The gap between the two was something Rimuru understood very clearly.
In his eyes, Clayman was not even worth personal attention. Shion, who had received Rimuru's blessing, was more than enough.
However, Rimuru's words were nothing short of humiliation to Clayman.
Enraged, Clayman unleashed his aura.
A violent pressure surged outward.
Yet in the eyes of Emiya Shirou and Rimuru, that aura was weak.
Far too weak.
Seeing Clayman lose control like this, Rimuru immediately judged that the opponent would expose an opening. He glanced at Shion and gave her a quick signal.
Shion received it.
And vanished.
In the next instant, she appeared directly in front of Clayman.
Her fists moved.
Dozens of punches landed in a single breath.
Clayman was smashed straight into the ground.
Shion turned around calmly and looked at Rimuru.
"Is this okay?"
Rimuru froze.
Watching the scene, Emiya Shirou laughed inwardly.
It was genuinely amusing.
"Rimuru," Emiya Shirou said, "Shion is a very straightforward child."
"You should stop signaling her with your eyes."
"Just tell her directly through Thought Communication."
"...Yeah," Rimuru said helplessly. "That's probably better."
Clayman crashed into the center of the circular clearing.
"You... you bastard!"
"You bastard!"
He screamed as he staggered back to his feet.
The humiliation had driven him nearly mad.
The injuries covering his body visibly healed at an astonishing speed. The recovery was even faster than the Orc Lord from before.
But Rimuru no longer cared.
Clayman was a Demon Lord.
This level of regeneration was expected.
"As you wish!" Clayman roared. "I'll kill all of you!"
As his voice echoed, the fox beneath his feet suddenly expanded, transforming into a massive nine-headed beast that let out a thunderous roar toward Emiya Shirou and the others.
At the same time, from Clayman's shadow, a cloaked figure in black emerged.
"So those are your subordinates."
Following Rimuru into the center of the circular clearing, Emiya Shirou calmly surveyed the scene.
Then he spoke.
"Shion, your opponent is Demon Lord Clayman."
"Be careful of his hidden tricks."
"Don't let this despicable wretch ambush you."
"Yes, Lord Emiya!"
Shion nodded immediately.
"What about the two attendants beside Demon Lord Clayman?"
"Them?"
Emiya Shirou glanced at the nine-headed beast and the cloaked attendant.
Then he smiled.
"Someone else will handle them."
As he spoke, Emiya Shirou removed the longbow from his back and threw it forward.
"Little Rimuru," he said, "I'll leave those two to you."
"Please leave it to me, Father."
Little Rimuru transformed into flames midair and landed lightly on the ground, the longbow already in her hands. She smiled brightly.
Seeing her, Rimuru subconsciously reached back and touched the treasured sword at his waist.
He did not throw Little Emiya out to fight freely.
Not because he needed to conserve strength here.
But because she still had an important role.
After all, Rimuru and Emiya Shirou's true opponent was Milim.
Fighting Milim while concealing his Ultimate Skills as much as possible meant Rimuru would need every bit of support.
As all combatants took their positions, the space where the round table once stood was instantly enveloped by a barrier.
Then, it expanded.
The originally limited space grew larger and larger, rapidly becoming vast.
When the expansion stopped, the duel began.
"Milim!"
"Kill him!"
At Clayman's roar, Milim exploded into motion.
She launched forward and threw a punch straight at Rimuru.
"Don't even think about it."
Emiya Shirou appeared instantly.
Golden armor covered his entire body.
He stepped in front of Rimuru and raised his reinforced arm, blocking Milim's punch head-on.
The moment their arms collided, terrifying magic power burst outward.
Violent currents of energy tore through the space, shredding the ground beneath them.
The surrounding wind pressure spiraled wildly, spreading in all directions.
For a moment, even the atmosphere within the barrier twisted unnaturally.
"This guy..."
Clayman's pupils shrank.
A chill ran through his heart.
He had never imagined that within the Monster Federation, there existed someone capable of contending with Milim head-on.
This was information he never had.
If he had not controlled Milim earlier, his fate would have already been sealed.
Cold sweat streamed down Clayman's face.
But in the next instant, he forced himself to calm down and turned his focus back to Shion.
After all, in his heart-
"Milim is the strongest."
"Hey, hey."
"That guy can actually fight Milim."
"You didn't know?" someone replied. "He's the one you brought, isn't he?"
"Hah? Of course I didn't!"
Listening to the exchange between Ramiris and Dino beside him, Guy, seated at the head of the table, showed a rare look of interest.
Although he could tell that Milim was not using her full strength, being able to fight her evenly in this state was more than enough to prove Emiya Shirou's abnormal power.
"This guy," Guy muttered, "is really interesting."
"I'll help you, Shirou!"
Ignoring the raging magic storm around them, Rimuru rushed in and swung his sword at Milim.
At the same time, Emiya Shirou rebounded off Milim's strike, summoned his weapon, and slashed.
Milim responded by swinging both fists.
She met their blades head-on.
The next instant, another violent storm of magic power erupted.
The collision continued.
