Recent chapters have seen the rise of the and the Rosso family as primary antagonists. Their goal: to dismantle Rimuru’s nation by any means necessary. The previous chapter left us on a brutal cliffhanger, with the demon lord Luminous Valentine watching from the shadows, and the Hinata Sakaguchi vs. Rimuru rematch hanging like a storm cloud.
