Summary[]
Starting from where the previous episode left off, Rimuru, assuming the disguise of their old name and appearance of Satoru, arrives with Zenobia and informs Aslan of Gustav's crimes and that Sauzer isn't a vampire at all; Sauzer arrives, having overheard everything. Rimuru also removes the curse that Gustav planted on Zenobia. The brothers realize that Karl manipulated them both and the merchant that they arrested before was a pawn to his scheme. Gustav and Karl appear and reveal themselves to be Archdemons, scaring away Aslan and Sauzer's men. They were planning to have Zenobia become a new vessel for their god: the Primordial Violet, whom Gustav idolizes. To keep them from interfering, Gustav creates a force field around everyone and Karl so that the latter can defeat them, as they cannot leave witnesses to their plan. Aslan is injured during the fight against Carl, but Rimuru provides him with honey to heal him. Realizing how powerful Rimuru and his subordinates are, Gustav sees that eliminating the witnesses will be a problem and draws negative energy from the people around them so he will be strong enough to defeat them himself. Paul, who didn't become trapped in the force field, attempts to escape with an unconscious Zenobia, but Gustav spots him. Luminous Valentine arrives and saves him from Gustav's attack. She proves to be too powerful for Gustav to defeat, leaving him no choice but to kill Karl and use his energy to finish putting Violet inside Zenobia, hoping that she will strong enough to eliminate Luminous, who is another witness to the plan. He is shocked upon learning Luminous' true identity as a Demon lord, who also has a history with Violet. Luminous is displeased with Violet's troublesome antics, so the two decide to fight it out. They prove to be equally matched and after the fight, Violet reveals that she is not satisficed with her vessel because it was not yet suitable for her and that she can't get rid of the witness, which compromises her plan to gain a body and that she must now eliminate evidence. Gustav thought she was talking about Luminous, but learns too late that she was talking about him, and Violet quickly kills him for his screw up. She then leaves Zenobia's body to try and gain another vessel elsewhere. Luminous revives Paul and has him lie to make it look like he defeated Gustav before leaving. Gustav's death causes the force field to disappear. After seeing Gustav's corpse, Rimuru is shocked seeing that Paul defeated Gustav, but is also skeptical. After ensuring that Zenobia will be okay, Rimuru and their subordinates leave. Rimuru heads to the prison cell where their Body Double is held, makes their doppelganger disappear, and takes its place before a guard has them released and brought to Aslan and Sauzer, who deduct that they are Satoru due to the honey that they gave to Aslan and Zenobia earlier. While speaking to Aslan, Sauzer, Zenobia (who has recovered, but no longer has her powers), Barak, and Paul, they figure out that Rimuru is the ruler of the Jura-Tempest Federation and learn that Tedron is the true mastermind behind the whole ordeal, having summoned Gustav and Karl and manipulated his sons into fighting in hopes of gaining a new vessel from the winner, as his old body is dying, but once the soldiers tried to confront their wicked father, they found him dead. Sometime earlier, Tedron is angered that his plan failed and considers summoning a demon into himself to try another attempt to gain a new vessel, but he is confronted by Valentine, who kills the evil king for his crimes and leaves evidence that proves his guilt. Valentine then continues to watch over the slumbering Chloe. As Rimuru prepares to leave, Paul decides to remain behind in Coleus as Sauzer becomes the new king of Coleus while Aslan becomes the Minister of Defense. Paul is also made a knight captain while Rimuru takes the sled carriage and leaves. Back at the bar, Rimuru informs Yuuki of his success, but is desperate to avoid any more jobs. Sometime after the battle against Falmuth, Aslan, Sauzer, Zenobia, and Paul learn that Rimuru has become a Demon Lord. In the post credit scene, two female Primordials learn of Violet's actions and Violet returns to her domain to look for a new vessel. The camera then focuses on a crystal ball with an image of Towa and Hiiro, foreshadowing the events of Scarlet Bond.
