After the introductions were over, it was time for me to present my case for my ascension of Demon Lord position.
I have not really prepared any speech.
"Let's not waste much time. I have the strength to be a Demon Lord. And I am going to prove it by defeating Dino."
The sleeping Dino started panicking.
"Oi! Why are you suddenly singling me out!? What did I even do to you!?"
Ramiris started picking on Dino.
"Well, Dino is useless. He just sleeps all the time in Dagruel's place."
"Who are you calling useless!?"
Guy interrupted the talk.
"Then, why don't you challenge me? You don't need to defeat me, just prove your strength. Afterall, you are Milim's brother, right? You should be able to hold your own against me."
Milim shouted, "Hey! That's not fair! You just want to copy his skills!"
"Copy!?"
"Yeah! He can copy anyone's skills, even Ultimate, by looking at it once."
Really!? That's too overpowered!
I guess it's not strange at all that he is Milim's equal.
Guy looked pissed at Milim as she revealed his secret.
"Milim, do you ever use your brain before revealing other people's secret?"
"Hmph! I won't let you trick Squishy!"
Behind me, Diablo was also looking rather pissed at Guy.
This time, Clayman decided to speak up.
"Just having strength doesn't mean you are eligible to become a Demon Lord—"
Guy interrupted him, "Apolloyon-kun, why don't you fight Clayman?"
I shook my head, "He is too weak."
I wouldn't really gain any useful skills from him.
Though I can't use any useful skills here since Guy will copy them, and I will be able to defeat Clayman without relying on any powerful skills, I think I can still defeat Dino without relying on [Abyss God Naraka] or [Tiamat].
Clayman should have understood that it's my mercy on him, since he is useful for the future, he decided to be stupid.
"That's enough! I challenge you!"
"Are you sure?"
I let out my Demon Lord Haki, pressuring him.
He started shaking, but he didn't back down.
"I will show you what a Demon Lord is!"
... Stupid Clayman. He is ruining my plan to get new skills from Dino.
Guy smirked. "Then it's settled. Apolloyon-kun, if you defeat Clayman, you can call yourself a Demon Lord."
He then snapped his fingers, and the table disappeared. The chairs of everyone aside from mine and Clayman's started moving back.
Moreover, Guy employed a barrier as well.
[Multi-dimensional Barrier has been analysed.]
If the barrier is not the work of a Unique Skill, and if Guy doesn't have an assistant like Nexis, he is really skilled to easily deploy a barrier like this.
I sighed and looked at Clayman.
Whatever. I am going to give his soul to Diablo to do whatever he wants to do with this stupid wannabe Demon Lord who ruined my plan.
"I am still giving you a chance. You can still back-off from this."
"Don't be cocky—"
I shot a thin and sharp stream of my slime.
It pierced his head in an instant, killing him instantly. I am honestly surprised that he couldn't even attempt to dodge.
I didn't even need to use any skill, just my body so that Guy can't copy anything.
Then, I applied the Multi-dimensional Barrier that I analysed from Guy over Clayman so that his soul can't escape.
"Diablo, preserve this idiot and take him away."
"As you wish, Apolloyon-sama."
I will eat Clayman later and obtain every information and skills from him, and then his soul can enjoy being Diablo's plaything.
