Gabiru's eyes gradually dimmed... Inside the study at Nazarick.
"Lord, is it really okay if we don't take action?"
Edoma, who had watched the scene with Draco, tilted her head and asked.
"You're still young, you wouldn't understand."
He patted Edoma's head. "If someone isn't made to learn a lesson, they'll suffer a great loss in the future."
"Hmm?"
Edoma blinked, seemingly a bit confused.
"Anyway, just watch carefully."
Draco shook his head slightly, not intending to explain much more.
Edoma nodded as if she half-understood, then swallowed hard as she looked at the corpses lying on the ground in the image... Somewhere in the forest, Ranga was pulling a magnificent carriage, traveling through the woods.
Rimuru, who had been dozing off on Eren's lap, suddenly received a transmission.
(Demon Country... under... danger... return...)
The intermittent words caused Rimuru to wake up instantly.
"What's wrong, Master?"
Eren asked, looking at him with concern.
"Mjurran's transmission—it seems something has happened to the Jura Tempest Federation!"
Rimuru immediately transformed back into human form. "Ranga, stop."
"Understood, my master!"
Rimuru then tried to contact the others in the Jura Tempest Federation, but he couldn't reach a single one of them.
"No, I have to go back immediately."
Rimuru tried to use 'Spatial Motion' to transfer to the Jura Tempest Federation, but he suddenly noticed an anomaly.

The Great Sage's voice sent a chill through Rimuru's heart.
"Search for the nearest base teleportation array."
<
A blue array appeared beneath the carriage. In the next moment, Rimuru arrived at a remote magic circle within the Sealed Cave.
Ignoring Eren and the others, Rimuru mounted Ranga and rushed toward the city.
When Rimuru stepped out of the cave, he saw from a distance that the entire Jura Tempest Federation was encased in a pyramid-shaped barrier. The city was shrouded in fire and smoke, looking like a scene from the apocalypse.
"This..."
Rimuru stared blankly at the scene ahead. "How could this happen..."
"Ranga!"
Ranga understood immediately and sped toward the city at full speed.
When the two broke through the barrier and reached the city gates, a beautiful girl lay quietly in a pool of blood, her flesh mangled.
"Mju... Mjurran?"
Rimuru reached out with a trembling hand and stroked her pale cheek.
"Mjurran..."
Gritting his teeth, Rimuru held back the tears in his eyes. "This isn't real. Why..."
Rimuru was somewhat afraid to approach the city; he was terrified of seeing a sight that would drive him to despair.
But what if someone is waiting for me to rescue them? What if everyone else is okay?
Thinking of this, he didn't dare delay any longer.
Having Ranga carry Mjurran's body on his back, he charged toward the town.
The moment he reached the blood-stained city gates, a wail that felt like the heavens were collapsing and the earth was rending rang out. Tears even overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Aaaaah!!!!"
"Why did this happen!!"
"Who did this!"
A terrifying aura erupted from his body—the tyrannical aura of a Demon Lord.
He stood before the city gates, his eyes bloodshot, roaring at the sky like a wild beast!
Upon the city walls, bloodied corpses were hung up one after another.
Rigurd missing both arms, Gabiru with his wings snapped, Kruut without his head, Gobta with a hole through his chest... Corpses littered the walls, and blood gathered into rivers, staining the white city walls red.
"Just who was it!"
Rimuru roared at the sky.
His resentment turned into a boundless malevolence, and Ranga behind him was instantly forced back several meters by the pressure.
"ROAR!!!"
A roar shattered the sky, and the world changed color, turning dark in an instant.
<
"Get lost!"
Rimuru roared at the sky again. Black clouds tumbled, lightning flashed, thunder rolled, and a wild wind howled.
An extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the sky above the city.
"Whoever it is, they will pay the price!!"
His bone-chilling voice caused the surrounding temperature to plummet, making one's skin crawl.
Wading through the river of blood, Rimuru walked slowly toward the city interior. His pace grew faster and faster, his eyes filled with the flames of hatred.
Ranga followed closely behind, his eyes full of worry as he looked at Rimuru.
"Is this blow too much... Edoma, I'm going out for a bit..."
