Rimuru saw as Beretta entered the barrier and go to help Shion. Shion who had been struggling against the doll known as Viola, had gotten help. This put Rimuru's mind at ease.
With Shion now getting reliable help, Rimuru decided to help out Ranga against the Fox Ninehead. Rimuru walked over to the three on three battle and began analyzing the fox.
{The individual known as Ninehead seems to be under a curse employed by Clayman known as Demon Domination.}
'What the hell Clayman! Raphael, can you remove Demon domination inflicted on Ninehead?' Rimuru held his hand out to the fox who was writhing in pain, forced to fight against her will.
{Initiate cleansing of of Demon domination}
As Raphael's words fell, a healing aura wrapped around the Kitsune, demonic energy began pouring out of her as her body shrank down. As the release of pain was too much relief all at once, Ninehead had fallen unconscious.
Rimuru walked over and picked the little fox up, as her mind fell completely asleep, Rimuru reassured in a soft voice, "Don't worry, I'll make sure that you are safe from now on, you can rest now."
Rimuru turned around to the still growling and aggrievated. Rimuru patted Ranga's furr softly while putting Ninehead in Ranga's mane, "Take care of her for now Ranga."
Ranga calmed down and nodded to his lord as he took a seat and tended to the fox.
Rimuru seeing that Ranga was treating the fox properly and confirming that he wouldn't rip her apart, he turned around to take care of Clayman's other lackey, the mechanical puppet Viola.
But when he turned around, he saw something surprising, "What the hell! Beretta?" Rimuru saw as Beretta was polishing off the body parts of Viola, all completely unscathed and neatly arranged.
"Hello, Lord Rimuru, I have neatly arranged these parts for you as spoils of war." Beretta's voice came as robotic as ever with a little bit of anticipation.
"Ok… why do I feel like you want something from me?" Rimuru said suspiciously.
Beretta: "True, I want to request something of you lord Rimuru. In exchange for these parts, Lady Ramiris wants to move the dungeon to Tempest."
Rimuru finally understood her intentions and couldn't help but sigh, "Hah… you really are too much like Ramiris."
Beretta: "Thank you Lord Rimuru for your kind words."
Rimuru: "THAT WASN'T A COMPLIMENT!!"
"Oh… so is that a yes or a no?" Beretta still asked expectantly on behalf of Ramiris.
"Hah… we'll talk about this when it's all over." Rimuru dismissed Beretta's question at the moment.
Rimuru turned his attention to Shion and Clayman but didn't immediately intervene into the fight, instead watching.
It was clear that without Viola protecting him, Clayman was completely outmatched against Shion.
Clayman had opened up his coat and out came four demonic like beast. Shion performed one swift slash and all of them immediately got destroyed. Their demonic forms fading to reveal puppets.
" Just you wait." Clayman bared his teeth as he waited expectantly… but nothing happened, " What's going on?"
Suddenly came into view for them to see and listen, " Allow me to explain to you, you see Shion's sword is a soul eater. Meaning that any damage to the body is equivalent to the soul."
"So… those puppets souls were immediately destroyed the moment that sword struck them?" Clayman muttered in disbelief, "Fine then, how about this?"
As Clayman's arrogant words came, he began charging up demonic energy in his hands and fired it at Shion. The blast split off into multiple blast that all wrapped around Shions body and began entangling her in a web of energy.
"Since my five fingers have been taken out, I need to rebuild my forces back up. Don't worry little Majin, I'll be sure to add you and that weapon to my collection." Clayman spat out with way too much arrogance for someone of his standard.
(A/N: Seriously though. Clayman had that whole Courting death vibe to him, it was crazy, I don't know how someone can be that stupid.)
But after a while, nothing happened. Something that Shion was confused about, "Is something meant to happen? Let me just give it a couple seconds more."
But Clayman was in disbelief and deniel, "What? why isn't it working!?"
Seeing that it didn't work as intended, Shion broke out of the magical hold by sheer strength alone, leaving Clayman completely stunned by her feat.
" Moves like that are useless to me, not to mention, if you're willing to use cheap moves like that then you're not worthy of being called a demon lord."
" You'll pay for your insults! You'll regret forcing me to use my full strength but you brought it on yourself." As Clayman finished, he ripped his clothes off and revealed a disturbing image of appendages bursting out of his back and body materialising armor from his skin.
???: " That is a disturbing form… although I've seen worse."
Rimuru: "Yeah and it didn't even increase his power that drastically… wait a second, SIMON!?"
Rimuru had finally taken note of the man who was next to him speaking. I had suddenly appeared next to Rimuru with sunglasses on my head and a bucket of popcorn encased by my arm.
Simon: "Yoo, I went out to quickly get some popcorn. What did I miss?"
"Well, if you're talking about Clayman, Shion simply annihilated him and then he got rabies and transformed into… that." Rimuru said while Clayman had taken out a spherical object from who knows where.
An item, that I was very familiar with, " Uh, Clayman, where did you get that item?"
Clayman had finally taken note of my presence and stated arrogantly, " Oh this? This is one of my finest works."
"No it's not, that is something that you stole from Dwargon, isn't it?" I said which caused Claymans face to slightly pale.
"How'd you…"
"Because I was the creator of the magicules reactor and I gave it to Dwargon, I use those to power all my devices."
But Clayman was still too arrogant, "Nevertheless, it is mine now and I shall harness it's power to destroy you all." A hole opened in Clayman's chest as he inserted the magicules reactor in causing his body to give off extreme readings.
Rimuru and Shion wanted to charge in, "Don't get involved you two. These no need to." Although they were skeptical that they shouldn't get involved, they still decided to trust me.
"AHH, getting scared, god of chaos?" Clayman asked arrogantly.
"Clayman, let me ask you something. Did you calibrate that yourself?"
"Of course I did. I set it to the highest setting to maximise the use of magicules. Are you scared now?!"
" No, but to cause maximum magicules fusion, especially in a small space such as your body will naturally equate to…"
BOOM
"… An explosion."
