00:12.590 --> 00:15.580
If you encounter any inconveniences
during your stay,
00:15.580 --> 00:17.640
please do not hesitate to inform us.
00:17.910 --> 00:19.510
Thank you.
00:25.110 --> 00:29.780
This place used to be
Demon Lord Clayman's castle, right?
00:29.780 --> 00:30.780
Yeah...
00:30.780 --> 00:34.650
Great Rimuru, are the
ruins inside the castle?
00:34.650 --> 00:38.660
Of course not. There's an entrance
on the other side of the castle.
00:39.070 --> 00:43.760
Clayman's castle was built on top
of the ancient ruins of Amrita.
00:46.440 --> 00:48.460
What a view!
00:48.460 --> 00:50.460
Isn't this exciting, Rimuru?!
00:50.460 --> 00:53.710
Eyes forward! You're gonna hurt yourse—
00:55.630 --> 00:57.220
I swear...
00:59.720 --> 01:04.350
This is the entrance to the ruins
of the underground capital Amrita.
01:04.350 --> 01:06.150
We're finally here!
01:06.150 --> 01:06.980
Yes.
01:29.120 --> 01:31.380
Awesome!
01:33.880 --> 01:37.170
So this is the ancient city of Amrita?
01:39.460 --> 01:42.810
Amrita was modeled after a different city.
01:47.540 --> 01:49.670
The Great Sorcerous Nation of Soma.
01:50.330 --> 01:56.650
An ancient nation that once
prospered as an Elven paradise.
01:57.690 --> 01:58.770
But then...
02:00.330 --> 02:05.240
the foolish actions of a handful of
them angered the Dragon Princess,
02:06.000 --> 02:08.720
and the paradise was reduced
to a ruin overnight.
02:12.310 --> 02:16.310
The fools who brought ruin
upon their nation were cursed,
02:16.310 --> 02:18.820
becoming Dark Elves,
02:18.820 --> 02:22.760
and left to escape the Dragon
Princess and seek a new land.
02:23.560 --> 02:26.770
The old me was among them.
02:27.440 --> 02:29.700
In the new land we escaped to,
02:29.700 --> 02:32.270
we built a capital city
02:32.710 --> 02:35.350
to ensure that Elven
technology would not be lost
02:35.350 --> 02:38.160
and that all of it would
persist in a tangible form.
02:39.680 --> 02:41.780
And that was the birth of...
02:42.090 --> 02:45.820
Amrita, the capital of
Puppet Nation Distave,
02:46.430 --> 02:50.480
and the true form of the
ancient ruins known as Amrita.
04:19.340 --> 04:22.010
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Season 4
04:22.210 --> 04:27.050
Episode 81: Investigating the Ruins
04:25.510 --> 04:27.470
It looks less like a ruin...
04:27.470 --> 04:29.390
...and more like a town.
04:30.280 --> 04:32.860
I can't believe people still live here.
04:32.860 --> 04:35.640
Right? I never imagined this!
04:35.640 --> 04:38.150
The ruins' interior is
divided into three levels.
04:38.550 --> 04:43.900
We use the top level here
as our residential quarters.
04:43.900 --> 04:46.790
Um... I thought these ruins
were underground.
04:46.790 --> 04:48.160
Where's that light coming from?
04:48.740 --> 04:50.500
It is a product of magic.
04:51.540 --> 04:54.410
It is linked to the movements of the sun.
04:54.410 --> 04:59.140
Incredible! Ancient magic is
still being used as it once was?!
04:59.140 --> 05:01.170
That alone is a major discovery!
05:03.160 --> 05:07.620
Milim, once this investigation's over,
this will be part of your domain,
05:07.620 --> 05:11.680
but would you mind letting these
people continue to live here?
05:13.620 --> 05:15.430
All right, I will!
05:15.960 --> 05:19.190
Thank you, Demon Lord Milim.
05:19.190 --> 05:23.220
Don't mention it! You guys
are my subjects, after all!
05:23.220 --> 05:26.700
As long as you're all doing
your part, everything's good!
05:30.500 --> 05:33.700
This is the door leading
to the central level.
05:39.360 --> 05:42.340
Have investigations been conducted
beyond the middle level?
05:42.340 --> 05:43.430
No.
05:43.430 --> 05:47.340
I've heard that there are
graves in the bottom level,
05:48.010 --> 05:53.600
but the only one who could open
this door was Lord Clayman.
05:53.600 --> 05:57.680
What? If no one can open it,
how are we gonna investigate it?
05:59.070 --> 06:00.870
Very naïve of you, Gobta.
06:00.870 --> 06:01.610
Shion!
06:01.610 --> 06:03.260
Leave it to me!
06:03.260 --> 06:05.820
I will cut it down with a single slice!
06:05.820 --> 06:07.610
You absolutely will not!
06:07.610 --> 06:09.740
I see.
06:10.860 --> 06:13.470
This is the work of ancient magic.
06:13.470 --> 06:18.500
Trying to open it by force will
awaken the city's defense mechanism.
06:19.200 --> 06:21.740
So it's a trap to keep invaders out, huh?
06:21.740 --> 06:23.980
Good thing you didn't cut it down.
06:23.980 --> 06:27.190
W-Well, it's just some
antique mechanism, right?
06:27.190 --> 06:31.010
Right! I find it hard to believe
the trap could still be active!
06:31.380 --> 06:33.240
Oh, I think it is.
06:33.240 --> 06:36.520
That light magic is still working
after a thousand years, after all.
06:38.820 --> 06:42.020
Shall we begin our analysis
of the door, then?
06:45.860 --> 06:47.940
I've never seen this spell before.
06:47.940 --> 06:49.400
What if we put those bits together?
06:49.400 --> 06:51.370
Right. Let's try it.
06:51.370 --> 06:55.340
Hey, so Clayman was able to
reach the middle level, right?
06:55.340 --> 06:58.230
Did he have some connection to the ruins?
06:58.230 --> 07:02.500
Hmm... Well, his rise to
power was relatively recent.
07:02.500 --> 07:05.790
I can't imagine him having a
connection to any ancient ruins.
07:05.790 --> 07:09.880
He must have undone the
spell on this door.
07:09.880 --> 07:13.930
I remember Clayman being a Demon Lord
who specialized in such things.
07:13.930 --> 07:17.930
Come to think of it, what kinds
of abilities did he have?
07:17.930 --> 07:19.060
Answer
07:18.260 --> 07:19.060
Answer.
07:19.060 --> 07:21.850
He possessed a unique
skill called Manipulator.
07:19.060 --> 07:21.850
Manipulator
07:21.850 --> 07:25.690
It allowed him to read ley lines
and control their flow.
07:25.690 --> 07:29.570
Wait, so... since I consumed
him, can I do that, too?
07:29.570 --> 07:31.450
Naturally, yes.
07:31.450 --> 07:34.040
This is going to take a while.
07:34.040 --> 07:37.040
Well, might as well get settled in now.
07:37.040 --> 07:40.200
Hey, mind if I take a look, too?
07:40.500 --> 07:42.210
Demon Lord?
07:46.590 --> 07:48.270
I get it.
07:48.270 --> 07:52.090
All the magic spells layered on
it make it look even more complex.
07:52.420 --> 07:56.000
Broadly speaking, there are
three magic spells on this door:
07:56.000 --> 07:58.260
one put there to seal the door,
07:58.260 --> 08:02.620
one that sends the energy flowing in
from the ley lines throughout the wall,
08:02.620 --> 08:05.850
and one that's a trap to prevent
it from being opened by accident.
08:07.860 --> 08:10.180
It's this trap that's the problem.
08:10.180 --> 08:12.770
If it's activated, the energy from
the ley lines will be cut off,
08:12.770 --> 08:15.110
and the light shining on
this level will go out.
08:15.520 --> 08:19.990
Then, once it's fully dark, it diverts
all that energy to removing the intruder.
08:19.990 --> 08:23.220
And this is the newest magic spell on it.
08:24.380 --> 08:27.840
Huh? There's something mixed
in here that doesn't belong.
08:31.790 --> 08:34.370
On my own, I'd have no hope
of understanding this,
08:34.370 --> 08:38.680
but with Raphael-sensei's help,
it's just like solving a puzzle.
08:39.030 --> 08:42.970
If I remove this and put the
correct magic spell there...
08:44.180 --> 08:45.640
It worked!
08:45.640 --> 08:47.440
We just need to repeat that
a few more times, and...
08:48.860 --> 08:49.600
Uh...
08:50.560 --> 08:53.440
Whoops!
08:53.750 --> 08:57.700
This should be the team's job, but I was
having so much fun, I couldn't stop...
08:57.700 --> 08:59.580
Brilliant as always, Great Rimuru!
08:59.580 --> 09:02.660
Yeah, you do get like this sometimes.
09:02.660 --> 09:05.460
Damn! Even Gobta's letting me have it!
09:05.460 --> 09:07.240
This is incredible.
09:07.240 --> 09:10.710
Yeah... Such a complicated
magic spell, and he just...
09:10.710 --> 09:14.700
Sorry about that.
I didn't mean to steal your thunder...
09:14.700 --> 09:16.100
What are you talking about?!
09:16.100 --> 09:16.500
Yeah!
09:16.500 --> 09:19.660
For something that cool,
why wouldn't you steal our thunder?!
09:19.660 --> 09:20.220
Yeah! Yeah!
09:20.220 --> 09:22.600
So how did you analyze that?!
09:22.600 --> 09:24.980
Please tell us, Great Demon Lord!
09:27.730 --> 09:30.320
So this pattern here was obstructing it?
09:30.320 --> 09:32.080
I see! So that's it!
09:32.080 --> 09:33.620
They really are pros.
09:33.620 --> 09:37.400
They put their inquisitiveness and thirst
for knowledge ahead of their pride.
09:37.400 --> 09:41.200
I just taught them the bare minimum,
and they caught on right away.
09:48.250 --> 09:49.880
They all opened!
09:49.880 --> 09:52.380
Well, c'mon! Let's get going, Rimuru!
09:52.380 --> 09:53.740
Yeah.
09:53.740 --> 09:55.630
At least, that's what I'd like to say...
09:55.630 --> 09:57.630
but it's already getting dark.
09:58.020 --> 10:00.880
Let's save the real
investigation for tomorrow.
10:09.390 --> 10:12.590
It really is linked with the surface.
10:13.770 --> 10:17.400
What do you think, Milim?
Was anyone on the team acting shady?
10:17.990 --> 10:20.530
No, I didn't notice anything.
10:20.530 --> 10:22.500
What about Kagali-san?
10:22.500 --> 10:24.720
Did she try to make outside
contact or anything?
10:24.720 --> 10:25.910
Nope.
10:25.910 --> 10:29.790
If she'd used Thought Communication
or a magic call, I would've known.
10:30.200 --> 10:34.290
So I guess all the people on
the team are in the clear.
10:34.290 --> 10:35.430
Notice.
10:35.430 --> 10:37.210
That cannot be said for certain.
10:37.210 --> 10:39.370
If their Soul Corridors connect them,
10:39.370 --> 10:42.200
they can build secret
lines of communication.
10:42.200 --> 10:44.630
I guess we can't rest easy just yet.
10:45.480 --> 10:47.780
Well, anyway, I guess it's time for bed.
10:47.780 --> 10:52.030
What?! But I'm so excited for
tomorrow, I'll never get to sleep!
10:52.030 --> 10:53.940
You think this is a field trip?!
10:56.690 --> 10:59.190
Standing Guard
11:07.660 --> 11:10.080
It worked.
11:10.080 --> 11:11.420
Well done!
11:19.920 --> 11:22.800
The air in here suddenly
feels a lot more oppressive.
11:22.800 --> 11:26.100
It feels a bit like the
dungeon in Tempest.
11:29.780 --> 11:33.490
I keep checking with Magic Sense,
but it's like a maze.
11:33.490 --> 11:37.820
Maybe the middle level itself is
a mechanism to deter intruders.
11:43.600 --> 11:44.570
Wow!
11:46.980 --> 11:50.670
This mural seems to depict how
the people lived back then.
11:50.670 --> 11:52.400
It's in great condition.
11:52.400 --> 11:54.960
This alone has value as a work of art.
11:56.020 --> 11:57.840
Makes you think, doesn't it?
11:58.230 --> 12:02.070
We're making contact with the
kind of ancient civilization
12:02.070 --> 12:04.570
that we've only ever
heard of in fairy tales.
12:07.260 --> 12:08.850
When you put it that way...
12:09.440 --> 12:13.350
it reminds me a bit of the past.
12:14.960 --> 12:15.850
That's right.
12:16.550 --> 12:21.400
Milim awakened as a Demon Lord after
her baby dragon friend was killed.
12:22.030 --> 12:25.940
To us, it was so long ago that
it might as well be a fairy tale,
12:25.940 --> 12:28.920
but to Milim, it's a real memory.
12:30.070 --> 12:31.010
Milim.
12:31.810 --> 12:34.500
Aren't you hungry? Let's have lunch.
12:36.120 --> 12:37.880
I'm in!
12:40.180 --> 12:41.710
Right, let's eat.
12:42.060 --> 12:44.340
But how are we going to get fire?
12:44.340 --> 12:45.760
Um...
12:45.760 --> 12:47.760
If you want lunch...
12:49.940 --> 12:54.520
I had the elder of the Dark Elves
to pack lunches for us!
12:54.520 --> 12:58.000
Hang on! This soup is piping hot!
12:58.000 --> 12:59.770
This isn't dried meat!
12:59.770 --> 13:02.030
It's delicious!
13:02.500 --> 13:05.340
But... where were you carrying all this?
13:05.340 --> 13:07.660
Oh, don't worry about that.
13:07.660 --> 13:10.020
I had it stored in my belly...
13:10.020 --> 13:13.910
but if I tell them that and they get the
wrong idea, they'll lose their appetites.
13:14.420 --> 13:18.920
I never imagined I'd get to eat
such fine food inside these ruins.
13:18.920 --> 13:23.670
The truth is, I didn't
want to use fire in here.
13:23.960 --> 13:26.170
Oh... Why not?
13:26.560 --> 13:29.500
Well, there's the safety aspect,
13:29.500 --> 13:33.220
but mostly, I didn't want to get soot
all over the ancient people's legacy.
13:33.220 --> 13:36.940
I'd like to preserve this
as much as possible.
13:37.870 --> 13:39.440
I see...
13:40.260 --> 13:42.500
I'd love to learn from your example.
13:44.460 --> 13:49.450
After that, we got into the real
investigation of the middle level.
13:49.450 --> 13:53.330
The investigative team really
is an inquisitive bunch.
13:54.170 --> 13:56.390
When I talked to them about
13:56.390 --> 13:59.780
the maze-like layout of the middle level
and strategies for conquering our dungeon,
13:59.780 --> 14:01.840
they really latched on.
14:02.190 --> 14:05.070
Thanks to that, we were
able to map out the area,
14:05.070 --> 14:08.590
and completing our passage through
the middle level was a piece of cake.
14:08.590 --> 14:11.090
Then, on the third day
of our investigation,
14:11.090 --> 14:15.120
we reached the door leading
to the bottom level.
14:16.450 --> 14:19.220
It's the same mechanism as
the one on the top level,
14:19.220 --> 14:21.730
but the magic spells are different.
14:22.340 --> 14:24.940
I don't want to spring a trap
after we've come this far.
14:24.940 --> 14:26.610
Let's take our time inspecting it.
14:27.300 --> 14:30.360
Everyone, how about a little break?
14:30.360 --> 14:33.120
Oh, thank you!
14:33.120 --> 14:35.410
We finally made it to the bottom level.
14:35.410 --> 14:38.310
No, based on how those magic
spells are laid out...
14:38.310 --> 14:42.120
I kept my guard up just in case,
but no one seems suspicious.
14:42.120 --> 14:45.170
If anyone was going to try anything,
I'd think they'd do it soon...
14:45.540 --> 14:48.880
Maybe they're letting it go
this time since Milim's here?
15:04.030 --> 15:06.240
You're really going to do this?
15:06.240 --> 15:08.880
There's no time to be
picky about the method.
15:11.380 --> 15:12.910
All the necessary steps to curb
15:12.910 --> 15:15.600
Demon Lord Rimuru's power
have been taken.
15:24.480 --> 15:27.820
It was sealed away so long ago,
15:27.820 --> 15:31.010
yet it still overflows
with hatred even now.
15:31.700 --> 15:33.080
In which case...
15:47.650 --> 15:49.150
Wh-What's that?!
15:49.150 --> 15:51.030
Is it an earthquake?
15:51.730 --> 15:53.660
No, this is...
15:58.540 --> 16:02.790
Now, rampage as your greed directs you.
16:19.850 --> 16:21.570
What could that have been?
16:21.570 --> 16:24.350
I have a bad feeling about this...
16:24.640 --> 16:28.610
It felt like a massive energy response
just blew across the surface.
16:30.060 --> 16:32.140
Intruders to Amrita detected.
16:32.140 --> 16:33.240
Eliminate.
16:33.240 --> 16:35.410
Intruders to Amrita detected.
16:35.410 --> 16:36.750
Eliminate.
16:36.750 --> 16:38.320
The defense mechanism activated itself?!
16:38.680 --> 16:39.620
Notice.
16:39.620 --> 16:41.780
Antagonistic response detected.
16:41.780 --> 16:43.570
There is an intruder in the ruins.
16:43.570 --> 16:45.870
So they really were just
waiting for the right time!
16:46.250 --> 16:47.850
Milim, do you feel any—
16:49.680 --> 16:50.640
Milim?
16:53.310 --> 16:55.510
Rimuru, I'm sorry.
16:56.080 --> 16:57.760
Something just came up.
16:59.120 --> 17:00.010
Milim!
17:00.870 --> 17:02.450
What in the world...
17:19.020 --> 17:20.830
Wait a minute! That's...
17:21.200 --> 17:22.020
Notice.
17:22.020 --> 17:25.180
It is the ancient dragon that
Demon Lord Milim sealed long ago,
17:25.180 --> 17:26.580
the Chaos Dragon.
17:27.800 --> 17:29.080
Great Rimuru!
17:29.080 --> 17:30.250
Golems!
17:33.670 --> 17:35.630
Let us handle these guys!
17:35.630 --> 17:36.900
Ranga!
17:36.900 --> 17:37.750
Right!
17:50.940 --> 17:53.320
This isn't gonna get us anywhere!
18:07.180 --> 18:08.710
Everyone inside! Hurry!
18:08.710 --> 18:10.210
It happened so quickly...
18:10.210 --> 18:12.350
You guys, stand down for now!
18:12.350 --> 18:13.840
Got it!
18:16.480 --> 18:19.840
So this is... the bottom level...
18:22.380 --> 18:23.600
Great Rimuru!
18:23.600 --> 18:25.600
They're chasing us!
18:29.980 --> 18:31.670
Get further inside, everyone!
18:32.730 --> 18:35.730
I really wasn't expecting them
to summon the Chaos Dragon.
18:36.590 --> 18:38.180
The Chaos Dragon?!
18:38.180 --> 18:40.240
That tyrant, in this day and age?!
18:40.240 --> 18:43.990
Yeah. I think Milim
went to try to stop it.
18:44.470 --> 18:49.250
Are they trying to isolate me
at the risk of angering Milim?
18:49.550 --> 18:53.030
I guess they're really
willing to do anything.
18:53.720 --> 18:55.840
Sorry to get you involved in this.
18:56.310 --> 18:59.050
It seems you have a lot
of enemies, Lord Rimuru.
18:59.410 --> 19:02.050
It sure isn't what I wanted, though.
19:02.430 --> 19:07.310
The Kingdom of Falmuth,
Demon Lord Clayman, Hinata the Saint...
19:07.310 --> 19:10.480
It's always the other
party coming after me.
19:10.480 --> 19:12.900
All I did was play along.
19:13.470 --> 19:15.750
Is there a solution that doesn't
rely on military might?
19:15.750 --> 19:19.150
It's possible if one
side or the other caves.
19:19.460 --> 19:22.910
But I'm sure they have their own
cause they want to fight for,
19:23.430 --> 19:25.410
and I can't back down, either.
19:25.860 --> 19:28.240
It'd mean bringing my friends
from Tempest down with me.
19:32.120 --> 19:34.630
Looks like we took 'em all out.
19:35.710 --> 19:40.400
But if we look for a way to improve
relations, maybe we can avoid fighting...
19:40.400 --> 19:41.480
That's impossible.
19:42.440 --> 19:43.780
Just impossible.
19:45.350 --> 19:47.940
The greed of man is endless.
19:47.940 --> 19:51.640
If his opponent gives in,
his demands grow even greater.
19:52.090 --> 19:54.070
That's how humans work.
19:55.000 --> 19:58.650
Seems we think alike.
I'm Demon Lord Rimuru.
19:59.020 --> 20:02.570
Pleasure to meet you, Demon Lord Rimuru.
20:02.570 --> 20:06.660
I am Maribel Rozzo, your enemy.
20:06.970 --> 20:08.470
Enemy, huh?
20:09.200 --> 20:12.540
There's one thing I want
to try. Is that okay?
20:12.820 --> 20:14.420
What might that be?
20:15.060 --> 20:16.900
Work for me.
20:16.900 --> 20:19.920
Do that and we can avoid
any unnecessary fighting.
20:20.260 --> 20:22.500
That's exactly what I should say to you.
20:23.080 --> 20:25.930
It is you who should work for me.
20:26.550 --> 20:29.580
Your policies and mine aren't compatible.
20:29.580 --> 20:33.490
Your methods mean many of
your people have to suffer
20:33.490 --> 20:36.690
for the sake of protecting a few.
20:37.110 --> 20:40.560
For the weak to be bled
dry is nature's way.
20:40.560 --> 20:43.190
Isn't it survival of the
fittest among monsters, too?
20:44.030 --> 20:45.690
True.
20:45.690 --> 20:49.070
But the thing is, I hate that idea.
20:49.620 --> 20:53.750
Sure, there may be some who
are hopeless no matter what,
20:53.750 --> 20:58.020
but someone's worth isn't something
you can just toss out so easily.
20:58.020 --> 21:00.790
People have limitless potential.
21:00.790 --> 21:06.340
But the way you do things doesn't
give them even a single chance.
21:06.340 --> 21:09.350
Don't you think that's wasteful?
21:10.810 --> 21:14.100
That's absurd. Just absurd.
21:14.890 --> 21:17.860
There are differences between people
from the moment they're born.
21:17.860 --> 21:20.680
That is absolutely a matter of course.
21:20.680 --> 21:25.300
The idea that everyone should be
equal is either a child's idealism
21:25.300 --> 21:27.610
or the wish of those who have nothing.
21:27.610 --> 21:31.120
I never imagined a Demon Lord
would be such a dreamer.
21:32.020 --> 21:34.620
Let me teach you what reality is.
21:37.220 --> 21:38.370
Grandmaster Yuuki?!
21:38.370 --> 21:40.880
It can't be... But why?
21:40.880 --> 21:44.570
Grandmaster Yuuki! You betrayed us?!
21:47.760 --> 21:52.030
No choice now. Let's decide once
and for all which of us is right.
21:52.030 --> 21:53.080
Raphael.
21:53.080 --> 21:53.890
Understood.
21:53.890 --> 21:56.560
Shifting to all-out combat mode.
22:01.940 --> 22:06.690
Maybe there'll never be a day when
all people understand one another.
22:08.210 --> 22:12.580
But that in itself is testimony
to the diversity of mankind.
22:13.670 --> 22:17.080
We're beings that contradict
ourselves as part of evolving.
22:17.540 --> 22:19.550
And only the one who wins here
22:19.550 --> 22:23.200
will be able to claim
that as what's right.
23:55.350 --> 23:58.160
Next time, "The Master of Greed."
23:55.980 --> 24:00.060
The Master of Greed
