That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Episode 13: The Great Clash
We're on our way to the marshlands to sign a treaty
with the Lizardman chieftain and fight the Orc army.
The ones accompanying me are
Benimaru, Shion, Hakurou,
and Souei, who's out scouting.
There's also Ranga...
and our Goblin riders.
Oh, and we've left Rigurd and the rest to watch the village.
The plan is that they'll flee immediately if we lose.
Great Rimuru, a moment?
What's up, Souei?
I've come across two groups currently engaged in battle.
One of them is a personal guard to the Lizardman chieftain.
They appear to be fighting a high-ranking Orc.
What action shall I take?
Well, I mean...
We have to help them, don't we?
Can you win?
A simple task.
He didn't even hesitate!
So being a hottie makes him skilled, too?
Do it. We'll be there soon.
Understood.
Assume battle formation. We're going to meet Souei!
Sir!
Let's do this!
Ranga!
As you command!
Er, what? It's already over?
He should've left some for us...
Oh, boy. That Souei really is skilled.
She is gravely injured.
Okay.
Don't worry. It's healing potion.
M-My wound... I thought it was fatal.
Wh-Who are you?
I'm Rimuru Tempest.
I must ask a favor of you!
Please save my father, the Lizardman chieftain, and my brother Gabiru!
You're Gabiru's sister?
I am.
What happened?
My brother led a rebellion and imprisoned the chieftain.
I believe he intends to repel the Orc army on his own,
but he has underestimated the Orc Lord.
If we take no action, the Lizardmen will surely be exterminated.
My father helped me escape during a lapse in the guard's attention.
I am aware that this is a selfish request,
after we broke our promise to wait for you,
but I implore mercy from you who serve such a powerful majin!
Please... Please!
Well said, indeed!
That you recognize our leader Rimuru's greatness
means you have potential!
H-Hey, Shion...
Come now, stand up.
I'm certain the Lizardmen can be saved, just as you hoped!
Whoa, whoa...
Thank you! Thank you!
The way she just accepts work for me on her own...
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
She's definitely a secretary.
What choice do we have? We'll be fighting the Orc Lord, either way.
So, um... You're the chieftain's daughter, you say?
Y-Yes, sir!
I am at your command.
Then I'll acknowledge you as a representative of the chieftain.
Do you object to forging an alliance right here and now?
No, not at all!
Then it's settled. The alliance is complete.
Thank you so much.
Souei, can you use Shadow Movement to get to the chieftain from here?
Of course.
I so envy your skills...
I'm ordering the rescue of the Lizardman chieftain.
Understood.
You have my gratitude.
The rest of us will continue our march!
Sir!
Trample all! Trample all! Trample all!
Mere Orcs are no match for us Lizardmen!
Right! Withdraw for now!
Our plan was to toy with them
and have the Goblins finish them off,
but it looks like we won't even need the Goblins' help.
What's happening?
The Orcs... are eating other Orcs?
H-Help!
S-Sir G-Gabiru—
Retreat! Now!
Retreat!
Sir Gabiru, we're already surrounded!
What?!
What just happened?
They're clearly moving faster now!
Impossible! Webbed feet and scales on an Orc?!
That makes them just like us!
They just ate one of our men!
Indeed! It was then that their movements changed!
Are they gaining our powers by eating us?!
The entire horde...
Maintain close formation!
Keep the Goblins in the center! Leave no space between you!
Shield the Goblins while breaking through the Orcs' formation!
If it was just us, perhaps we could have escaped,
but bringing the Goblins worked against us in the end!
Trample all! Trample all!
Our allies' powers will become our own!
The enemy's powers will become our own!
Do not fear!
Trample all! Trample all!
Show them the strength upon which we Lizardmen pride ourselves!
Our allies' powers will become our own!
Yeah!
Wh-What an intimidating aura...
You, Orc!
You are the Orc Lord, correct?
I am Gabiru, chieftain of the Lizardmen!
Face me one-on-one to settle this—
I am not the Lord.
I am an Orc General.
I am far inferior to the great Orc Lord.
You're not the Orc Lord?
Even with this much power, he's still far inferior?
You wish to fight one-on-one?
Interesting.
I accept.
I thank you!
Just what kind of monster is the real Orc Lord, then?!
Yes! Yes!
This is going great! Right, Lord Gelmud?
Indeed.
Looks like everything's going according to plan!
It won't be long before my child gains dominion over the forest.
And then my ambition will—
You seem to be having quite a fun time.
Who's there?!
My name is Treyni.
I cannot overlook malicious scheming in this forest.
This isn't good, Lord Gelmud!
That's a Dryad! They're the caretakers of the forest!
What?!
For the disruption you've caused, I am removing you from this forest.
Huh?!
Spirit summoning: Sylphide!
Wait, wait, wait, wait! You're jumpin' the gun a bit here!
The time for judgment has come.
Pray in repentance for your sins.
Aerial Blade!
H-Hey! Your arm!
You're crazy, lady.
We don't even get a say in this?
Well, we've already achieved our goal, anyway...
so we'll just be gettin' out of here.
So long, now!
They escaped...
This is not a desirable outcome.
Rimuru Tempest, I am trusting you to defeat the Orc Lord.
Vortex Crash!
Chaos Eater!
You're trying to eat me?
Do you think you can keep running forever?
S-Sir Gabiru!
We will help!
Stay out of this!
I'll handle this one-on-one!
You're such a man, Gabiru!
Gabiru!
Gabiru! Gabiru! Gabiru!
This is nothing!
What?
Sir Gabiru!
Lizards are best suited to crawling on the ground.
Now die!
Y-You're... the true leader of that village!
What's this guy talking about?
Have you come to save us?!
That's Gobta, captain of the Goblin riders.
The Direwolf!
My name is Ranga.
I've come to help you on my master Rimuru's orders.
How did you get here?
Shadow Movement. Are you incapable of learning?
Rimuru, you say?
I don't know who any of you are,
but if you will stand in my way, I will show no—
Oh, looks like it's started.
The great magic of the Lizardmen?
I must end this quickly
and end whoever is using great magic!
So, um... Gabiru, was it?
We should assume a defensive formation.
I understand, but...
What are those flames?
No need to worry. They're on our side...
I think.
This is why I told you to move.
Wh-Who are you?!
You don't remember us? That's harsh.
You devoured our village, remember?
Those horns... Are you Ogres?!
Are we, now?
That might not be quite true anymore.
It is time.
We must thank Great Rimuru for giving us this opportunity.
I'll say it once more.
Move out of the way, pigs...
unless you want to be wiped out without a trace.
Wow...
It appears you've come to assist the lizards,
but you waste your time.
Goblins and dogs, the arrival of worthless monsters such as yourselves
will not sway our superiority in the least!
Worthless?!
We will show you, then.
H-Huh?!
What is this?
Answer. This is the individual Ranga's wide-range attack, Death Storm.
Oh... I see.
Curse you!
He turned into a Tempest Star Wolf!
Do you see now, Orcs?!
This is a mere fraction of the power of the one you mocked as being worthless!
It blew everything away...
Yes!
This is our brand new beginning.
Of Great Rimuru's many glorious victories in war...
This will be the first, you see!
Don't get cocky!
Great Rimuru!
Y-Yeah...
I hope I never piss her off.
But anyway...
That overwhelming Orc army is shrinking before my eyes.
I guess those Kijin really are a major asset.
Man, I hope they'll still want to be friends after this war's over.
I wonder how things are going for Souei...
We're... alive?
Use this.
Father!
You truly came for us, Souei!
But why?
The alliance was formed.
And how did...
I was acknowledged as your representative.
Reinforcements are coming.
Truly?
It is not yet time to give up, Father!
Our people will be saved?
Souei!
No need to worry.
I've already rendered him immobile.
One can't help but react that way, it seems...
My... My decision...
My decision to accept this alliance...
was the correct choice!
You can see this, can't you, puppet master of the Orcs?
You will be next.
Destroying the Ogres' village
and making enemies of the Kijin
will be your greatest regrets.
Damn them all!
Useless fools!
Kijin, he said?
I did have Geld attack a large Ogre village...
Does this mean the survivors of that village evolved?!
And that huge animal!
No one told me there was a beast like that in the Forest of Jura!
What in the world is happening outside my notice?!
This is bad! I must do something...
or my plans will fall apart after coming so far!
If this goes on, I'll be...
I'll be killed... by him!
I found the Orc Lord!
Right!
I'm hungry...
I want to eat something... anything!
Orc Lord...
I'm going to put an end to you.
