🎉🎉BAMN: Chapter 213/215

Chapter 213: Primordials

"Violet, decompose the Gastrea."

"Preserve the bloodline essence. Use the rest as sacrifices for the summoning."

Rin's idea was the same as Rimuru's in the original. Use enough flesh and blood to summon powerful demons.

In the Cardinal World, monsters respond depending on the quantity and quality of the sacrifices.

Rimuru sacrificed 20,000 soldiers. Rin offered nearly 2 billion large-bodied Gastrea.

However, due to the difference between the two worlds.

The overall quality of those 20,000 soldiers far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Even so, 2 billion Gastrea, along with the higher-level individuals among them...

Rin felt it should at least be equivalent to hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

So Rin sacrificed flesh and blood and waited as his subordinate monsters got to work.

Until Ice Empress sent a thought message.
[Statistics complete. Everyone has entered the Void Ark.]

"Alright."

Rin returned to the Cardinal World, then lay flat on his bed. "Violet, begin the summoning."

[Sacrifices are ready.]

[Beginning summoning...]

As a massive amount of Gastrea flesh and blood was offered, a magic circle slowly took form in front of Rin.

The next moment, terrifying magical energy burst forth, filled with unimaginable malice.

Boom!!!

"Hmm, good magical energy. Looks like something strong showed up."

Judging by the scale of Rin's summoning, he should have been able to summon at least ten times more demons than Rimuru.

Theoretically, that was enough to summon 100 Lord-level demons.

However, once the magical energy fluctuations faded, only four figures appeared in front of Rin.

One male, three females.

The male had black hair and pitch-black eyes, dressed in a Western-style butler uniform. He was kneeling on one knee, showing respect to Rin, who had summoned him.

The three girls included a white-haired one in white clothes, a purple-haired one, and one with yellow hair.

Just like the black-haired youth, they were all half-kneeling, quietly awaiting orders.

"...Primordials."

Rin wasn't Rimuru. He wasn't clueless.

Their appearances, especially their distinct colors, made their identities obvious.

The Seven Primordial Demons. The oldest demons, each standing at the peak of all demonkind.

Rin was honestly surprised.

Primordials were all monstrous talents. Each one had potential equal to Ice Empress.

If he could keep them, Rin's strength would jump to another level entirely.

"But why are you acting so respectful to me?"

From what Rin knew, aside from Primordial Purple, who was somewhat approachable, the other three weren't easy to deal with.

Primordial White had a cruel nature and loved slaughter.

Primordial Yellow had a bad temper and would attack at the slightest disagreement.

Primordial Black, known as Diablo in the anime, was Rimuru's future number one loyalist.

His reason for following Rimuru was because he believed Rimuru was the temporal convergence point of Chloe. That's what had originally caught his attention.

"We should be meeting for the first time, right?"

Rin felt something was off. He wasn't in a hurry to awaken. That was inevitable.

What mattered now was having Violet fully prepare things so he could acquire as many Ultimate Skills as possible.

Ultimate Skills would decide his power in the Demon Lord realm.

So caution was more than justified.

"You carry the aura of that one."

Primordial Black spoke. "Is that a good enough reason?"

"Not really."

Rin shook his head. The Star King Dragon's bloodline was good, but he didn't want loyalty based on that alone.

Of course, Rin wasn't worried that the four Primordials would break the contract and attack him.

Even the Primordials wouldn't violate the terms of a summoning.

Especially not after Rin had sacrificed so much. Just commanding them to protect him until he completed his awakening was more than enough.

"You really are cautious..."

"But I don't dislike that. Rather, I'm fascinated by your very existence."

"...Huh?"

Rin was stunned by Primordial Black's bold words.

Demons didn't have strict gender concepts.

But just like their forms, they had clear self-awareness.

Well, except for Guy.

That one had both male and female forms and liked both genders.

"Please don't misunderstand. This fascination isn't something like a human romantic relationship."

"I'm simply drawn in by your charm..."

Primordial Black was telling the truth. Ever since Rin awakened as a Demon Lord Seed, especially after his Unique Skill Traveler evolved into Void Gate, he had begun to emit an irresistible aura.

An aura so enchanting that it instinctively pulled in demons.

It was like phototaxis, a light that demons couldn't help but move toward.

To Primordial Black, Rin was that light in the darkness. Something he naturally wanted to follow and stay close to.

"I don't really get it, but... fine. You can follow me from now on."

...

"Thank you for your grace!"

Primordial Black bowed his head even lower, speaking with even greater reverence.
"I will give my all to ensure your awakening proceeds without issue."

"Then... what about the rest of you?"

Rin looked at the other three Primordials.

"I heard a voice. She said she could give me what I wanted."

Primordial Purple, the weakest among the Seven Colors, enjoyed observing worlds and planting chaos to reap entertainment later.

She was like a trickster, constantly stirring up mischief.

But in Rin, she saw something new and full of potential.

If she followed him, she would never be bored again.

"Are you here because of my Void Ark?"

Rin didn't mind that his world-traveling ability had been exposed.

He was about to become a Demon Lord.

By then, in the Cardinal World, only beings on Guy's level could challenge him.

That didn't include Primordial Purple.

"It's just for fun. As someone who holds the key to endless worlds, I'll never be bored with you around."

"That really is..."

Primordial Purple's eyes sparkled. "So exciting!"

"...My turn?"

Primordial Yellow stepped up. "You're strong. I want to fight you."

Her blunt words nearly made Primordial Black lunge at her.

Chapter 214: Seed Awakening

"That's simple."

Rin ignored Primordial Black's murderous glare at Primordial Yellow and responded directly.

Demons had no real camaraderie among themselves.

Their status was determined entirely by strength.

In other words, in Primordial Yellow's eyes, as long as Rin could defeat her, she would become his possession.

At that point, she would naturally obey his orders.

"Truly an extraordinary figure."

"You possess potential even the Star King Dragon could never imagine. That is why I choose to submit."

Finally, it was Primordial White's turn.

She hadn't spoken out recklessly. Instead, she had been quietly observing Rin from the side.

As one of the very few Primordials capable of challenging Primordial Black and Primordial Red, she was second only to them in strength.

Primordial White had always been extremely arrogant.

But this time, she didn't treat the inhabitants of the material world as ants, like she usually did.

On the contrary, her attitude was more humble than ever.

So humble that even her fellow Primordials didn't understand.

Especially Primordial Yellow and Primordial Purple. The two had fought Primordial White before.

Even working together, they couldn't defeat her, which showed just how terrifying she was.

"Don't get any strange ideas, White."

Primordial Black watched her warily. She was a powerhouse who could actually contend with him.

There was no such thing as being too careful.

"Oh dear, did I not make myself clear?"

As the second demon ever born, Primordial White possessed tremendous intelligence. She had seen a power in Rin that shouldn't exist.

Rin paused to think, then asked, "You mean my Ultimate Skill, Lord of the End?"

"Yes and no."

Primordial White said, "The Star King Dragon is the Creator God and the Destroyer Dragon."

But he hadn't fulfilled all his duties.

The power Rin inherited from the Star King Dragon wasn't what was passed down. It was what had been sealed.

The seed of the Authority of Destruction, Lord of the End.

Demons were born from negative emotions, and Primordial White was the cruelest among the Seven Great Primordials.

So what could command more awe from her than the end of the world?

No. It surpassed even her own nature.

Before the destruction of the world, she naturally had to submit and serve.

"You possess the potential to further awaken that power."

"I..."

Primordial White looked at Rin with clear anticipation in her eyes.

"Came for that reason."

"I have no interest in destroying the world."

Rin's reply was blunt. He wasn't some villain obsessed with chaos.

The fun of the world lay in its very existence.

Without a world, wouldn't that be boring?

To Rin, anyone who wanted to destroy the world had to be either insane or had something wrong with their head.

And Primordial White, in Rin's opinion, was the perfect example of someone with something wrong in her head.

"Oh dear, what a willful man..."

Primordial White let out a soft laugh.
"But I can't bring myself to dislike him."

"You, who hold the Authority of Destruction, naturally have the right to decide when to end this world."

"Whether out of boredom or disgust."

"Only you. No, only you are qualified to determine the fate of this world."

"And that is why I seek you."

"Please allow me to follow you," Primordial White said, "And witness this world until the day it ends."

"...."

Rin had to admit, her words changed his impression of her quite a bit.

At the very least, what Primordial White wanted was to witness, not cause the end.

"If that's all."

Rin said, "Then I allow you to stay by my side."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Rin's words, a faint blush appeared on Primordial White's flawless face.
"From this moment, please guide me."

And with that, all four Primordials had expressed their intentions and attitudes.

Follow. Witness. Challenge. Submit.

That was how demon values worked.

If it aligned with their desires and instincts, they would accept the call and stay loyal to the end.

"Now, I'll trouble you all."

"When I awaken..."

"I will naturally grant you the rewards you deserve."

After those words, Rin lay down and slowly closed his eyes.

"Begin, everyone."

"Protect him while our master sleeps."

Primordial Black naturally took command.

Primordial White and the other two had no objections.

In terms of strength, Primordial Black was indeed the strongest among the four.

The four Primordials stood around Rin and began forming a unique barrier using their immense magicules, safeguarding their master's safety.

"How exciting..."

Primordial Purple could see into Rin's soul. His many Unique Skills were overwhelming.

How strong would he become once his awakening was complete?

"Are you really planning to challenge him?"

Primordial Purple looked over at Primordial Yellow. "You might die, you know."

Primordials could not truly die.

Even if they were destroyed, they would eventually be reborn in the Netherworld.

But Rin was different.

Behind him stood Violet, someone bold enough to even possess the world's will.

Dealing with a mere Primordial would be effortless for her.

"If he's to be my master, he must defeat me in a direct fight."

Primordial Yellow couldn't even beat Rin in his unawakened state. What hope would she have after his awakening?

Still, challenging the strong and testing the master's worth was only natural.

"You're being rude, Yellow."

Just as Primordial Black was about to scold her, a terrifying pressure burst out from within Rin's body.

"...Hmm?"

"This power..."

"Whoa whoa whoa, you're kidding me, right?!"

The four Primordials, standing closest, were immediately overwhelmed by Rin's magicules.

They already knew he possessed immense magical energy.

The 990,000 magicule count wasn't for show. It was enough to reach the Demon Lord Seed level, possibly strong enough to challenge a True Demon Lord.

But what was happening now?

"This... this amount of magicules. Just how much is it?"

"Five million? Ten million? Twenty million?"

"What the hell is going on with him?"

At that moment, the magicules spilling out of Rin completely exceeded the limits his body should have been able to contain.

Even Violet shouldn't have had this much magical energy.

Judging from the accumulation, it would have been impressive if Rin had around 8 million left after the summoning.

But this explosive growth in magicules completely overturned the understanding of the four Primordials.

Chapter 215: The Restless Jura Great

[Race 'Dragonoid' begins challenge evolution.]

[Evolution successful. Race 'Dragonoid' evolves into 'Dragon Kind.']

[Obtained exclusive race 'Star King Dragon.']

[Special Skill 'Demonic Dragon Transformation' evolves into 'Dragon God Transformation.']

[Beginning magicules increase...]

---

Has the bloodline of the Star King Dragon been activated?

The first to judge was Primordial Black.
"This kind of catastrophic magical energy is exactly the symbol of a Great Dragon."

The magicules of a Dragon Kind were typically above 80 million.

Even in the original work, few had reached that level. Those who did were already in the top tier of power.

But now, Rin's magicules had surpassed that threshold and were still rising.

"Is this even reasonable?"

"Why is it still going up?"

Primordial Yellow was completely stunned. Standing within the storm of magical energy, she actually felt herself wavering.

Rumble!

The ceiling above had been blown off, and the surrounding structures began collapsing.

Such a phenomenon clearly went beyond their understanding of the Demon Lord Seed awakening process.

"Even if Master carries the bloodline of that one, he is ultimately not the real body."

"Just awakening the bloodline and transforming into a Dragon Kind shouldn't produce such terrifying power."

This was Primordial Purple's assessment. Among the Primordials, she was the most familiar with the material world.

Even so, Rin's current state still defied common sense.

As the newly born fourth Dragon Kind, Rin's magicules would undoubtedly reach 80 million eventually, rivaling the Frost Dragon and Scorching Dragon.

But to have this kind of output upon awakening? Two to three million would have been normal.

What made it even more unbelievable to Primordial Purple was that Rin's body hadn't changed at all.

If Rin had transformed into the Star King Dragon before their eyes, they wouldn't have been this shocked.

But the problem was that Rin, without any visible transformation, had released such tremendous magicules in human form.

"Indeed."

Unlike the others, Primordial White's expression was filled with excitement and fanaticism.

"This power is the very reason you are King."

The completion of Lord of the End, that Ultimate Skill, was turning into Rin's own power, elevating him to an even higher throne.

"No, it's not just that."

"My Lord still harbors a hunger beyond our comprehension."

"A second Ultimate Skill is forming..."

Just as Primordial White said, the reason Rin's magicules were increasing at such an insane rate was not only because of the Star King Dragon bloodline awakening or becoming a Dragon Kind.

The most critical factor was Violet, who had been accumulating magicules behind the scenes, laying the foundation for Rin to construct a second Ultimate Skill.

Rumble~

A towering column of magical light shot toward the heavens. But thanks to Violet's restraint, the phenomenon was locked within the Jura Great Forest, concealing Rin's awakening ritual from the outside world.

However, that suppression only blocked outward transmission.

For those already residing inside the Jura Great Forest, there was no such shielding.

As a result, monsters across the forest felt like their minds had been struck by a heavy hammer. They stood frozen, dazed and dizzy.

"What... what's happening?"

"My head hurts so much..."

Shizue held herself upright with great effort, but the turmoil within her magic power caused immense discomfort.

Fortunately, the pressure lasted only a short while.

"Hoo... hoo..."

As she finally steadied herself, Shizue still felt a lingering chill.

"What was that just now?"

The girl could feel magic power flowing inside her again, but the unease continued to grow.

"What a terrifying aura. Could such a monster really be inside the Jura Great Forest?"

She tried to locate the source of the magic through perception, but no matter how she searched, she couldn't pinpoint it.

"For now... I'd better find somewhere to hide."

From what she could sense, the entire forest was descending into chaos. Monsters and beasts were losing control.

Shizue wasn't afraid of them.

But if she experienced another shock like that in the middle of battle, she might not make it out alive.

"My King, what was that just now?"

Meanwhile, deep in the southern forest, the Orc General spoke nervously to the Orc Lord.

"I don't know."

The Orc Lord turned to look in the direction of that overwhelming aura.

Because of Rin's magical presence, the Orc Lord had finally regained clarity after many days of frenzy.

"Tell the troops to stop devouring. Everyone must endure for now."

Even the hunger-maddened Orcs froze under Rin's presence.

Their instincts screamed at them not to move. Not to breathe too loudly.

Because if they made a sound, they would be devoured by something far worse.

As for the Lizardmen...

Aside from Gabiru, who remained blissfully unaware, most of the tribe huddled inside their lairs, shaking.

"Could this be the aura of the legendary Storm Dragon?"

The Lizardmen Chieftain thought back to that legendary creature.

"But it feels different from before."

He could sense the awakening of a Dragon Kind aura from Rin.

But it wasn't the same as the Storm Dragon's presence. It had a different nature altogether.

He couldn't make sense of it. So all he could do was order his people to stay hidden and wait for this calamity to pass.

"Quick, quick, hurry up!!"

Elsewhere, Gelmud, the Demon wearing a crow mask, was frantically tapping the crystal orb in his hand, trying to contact Clayman.

But the barrier around the forest had completely cut off communication between inside and out.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Gelmud smashed the crystal orb on the ground and stomped it violently.

"What is wrong with this forest?!"

He had only left for a month, and everything had changed.

The Ogre Tribe he had planned to subjugate had disappeared. They were hiding.

The weak Goblins had moved to some unknown location.

Today, Gelmud had planned to meet the Orc Lord, the one he named, and lead him to attack the Lizardmen.

But without warning, he was suddenly overwhelmed by an indescribable sense of oppression.

Unlike the others, Violet had given him special treatment.

She cut off his contact with Clayman and even used Rin's aura to grind him down, from body to soul.
