Plan: Resurrection and Destruction 

I learned of what's happened since I was fighting Kakine and I've been told of the injured though none have spoken about Shion which worries me

Mugino had tackled me in a hug saying how she was glad I was fine and I was told Jin was resting since his fight took a lot out of him

There was a meeting so I stood by and just listened only telling of my fight when Rim asked

We went to see the injured who were usually with us and saw the old man and Gobta, they hadn't been healed since they were attacked and some spatial magic was residing within them which Rim devoured and was able to get them healed

He asked Benimaru the same thing I had asked earlier if Shion to which he didn't say anything, instead he let and told us to follow and he took us through the streets where I saw everyone that had died

Eventually we got to the middle of the street and there she was, Shion, lying on the ground with a broken horn and a blood stained shirt

Benimaru: "When the humans attacked there was a small child in the road, she saved her but due to the weakening and her battle, she couldn't make it out in time"

I think I heard Mugino saying something but I couldn't pay attention, my emotions were everywhere, I was feeling anger and sadness, as well as disappointment in myself

If I had just rushed Kakine and made him implode on the spot then the damage wouldn't have been like this, the damn knights from Falmuth would have died

Instead I went on with the fight with Kakine and now Shion is dead, I feel responsible yet I know I shouldn't

Rim's aura had exploded but I wasn't affected not much anyway, my wings had come out and were moving frantically, it wasn't harming anyone though, it just kept moving intensely upwards, looking like it wanted to hurt someone but couldn't

Rim: "Please leave us, it'd be better for us to be alone"

When he said that the others begrudgingly walked away, Mugino tried staying but I convinced her to leave as well

Rim: "I feel terrible. But it can't be the same as you can it? She was one of your wives"

Right the whole being mine thing. I don't remember truly accepting but I just went with it and, I enjoyed it, and Shion knew, so did Mugino

I actually went along with that idea and it was okay

"No, you really can't feel the same"

At some point the mask he had appeared in his hand which he put on and fell to his knees, though I heard a crack after a bit and saw that the mask had a small crack on the right side

"This damned barrier... hey Rim you should put them to rest, it'd be better than leaving the bodies here"

He nodded and proceeded to do so until we were interrupted by the three adventurers

It was confusing until the girl showed us that she was actually an elf, then she told us of a story about how a long time ago a girl had lost a dragon she cared about, so she became a demon lord and brought the dragon back to life until ultimately having to kill it as it wasn't the same

I was confused until I realized the point of it, becoming a demon lord

'If Rim becomes a demon lord then we just may have a chance, we learned of the barrier keeping their souls here so if he gains that strength then there just may be a chance'

Rim told me of [Great Sage] before, and know he told me if this can work then it's got a 3.14% chance, the same as pi huh? But that's great, it's an entire three percent, it's not zero

                               —————————

Rim had enacted another barrier just to make sure that the green haired woman's doesn't go away to keep the souls here, it was the next day after seeing everyone and while it still hurt knowing Shion died, I had hope that we may just pull this off

We went to where the lady was, Mjurran I think, and Youm and the other guy was there

We didn't waste much time as Rim had something he needed to do

Rimuru: "I'm sorry but now, you have to die"

The two guys tried to stop him but I immediately got in front of Rim and grabbed both of them and put them down, the grunt turned into a wolf to try and trick me but it didn't work as I just used my barrier as a platform and pushed it against his body, keeping him to the ground

I watched as Rim reeled his hand back and pierced her chest, and in three seconds she was standing straight again

"Man I knew you could do it, I would have done it if I could have created that myself"

The two guys opened their eyes after closing them waiting on her death to see her standing, alive and in fact not dead

Rim explained that her fake heart was a bug and so he killed her for a good three seconds and then gave her a new artificial heart, now Clayman can't hurt her without actually coming himself and it's not like we'd let him

After that we went to the main building and went into the discussion room with everyone and now we had to plan

Rim had been told by Souei that the forces from Falmuth and the Western Holy Church numbered 20,000 and luckily for Rim, he only needed 10,000 to become a Demon Lord since he had gained the seed after devouring the Orc Lord

Looking around the room everyone was here and ready so it was time

"Alright so now it's time to plan what me and Rim call. Plan: Resurrection and Destruction"

Rimuru: "We are going to bring Shion and everyone else back to life!"
