Oh, they establish he's one of the seven colored demons this early in the manga? Nice, all he says in the light novel is that he's a "primal" without actually going into detail. I love this demon dude, he's such an oddball.
can someone please explain how demon-angel-spirit works here? i know spirit and demon can be summoned, but then they can summon angels too? i dont recall anyone has summoned angels, or will there be someone who will summon angels? since they're different races than the monster, so they only works as summoning?
The demon is a total badass, but I'm still pissed at how BS anti-magic areas are, authors just love to wank CQC, even when it makes little to no sense.
@edamame No real info about "angel's summoning", but depending on the amount of magicule's inside the persons body + the amount of sacrifices, demons can be summoned, 2 factors explain why rimuru was only able to summon 2 greater demons and 1 Arc-Demon,
first of all the amount of bodys would be enough to summon more, but since rimuru 'ate' the souls the amount summoned lessened, nevertheless enough for the 3 demons, demons, angels and spirits technically dont have a physical form, and live as spiritual beings in the "spiritual world", spirits also refer to as 'monster spirits' which are monsters when they are evolved more, small spoiler ahead
since rimuru evolves into a true demon lord, the beings he named also evovle and get a unique or extra spell, souei for one evolves into a semi spiritual being meaning he cant live on without his body yet
theres no mention whos stronger then who, but im guessing since it was said like this => demon > spirit > angel > demon, cant be to sure, since i dont remember anything about weaknesses, but probably since its holy => unholy, that weakness comes up, the Arc-Demon however has the strongest bloodline of the demons, for ranking it's categorized as demon duke/king
@Scorpion7373 thank you for the explanation!! so that explain why we dont encounter demon/spirit/angel in the forest since they need physical body...
you mentioned about semi spiritual being, has it been explained if a spiritual being switches between their physical and spiritual form? can they live fully in their physical form without a summoner? (or maybe when the summoner died)
semi spirutal beings refer to a being that cant switch between spiritual and physical form, that Monster will evolve into a spritual being the next evolution, theres no concrete Text telling what happens when the summoner dies but in the extra episodes of the anime theres one story of the summoned arc demon so from that i expect that the demon still fullfills the wish of the summoner und then returns
@mikoreimu
In the Web Novel, yes, but it's a bit different in the Light Novel, where
the vampire queen uses one of her vampire subordinates as a substitute who calls himself "Valentine" and pretends to be the actual Demon Lord, while she disguises herself as his maid, until Veldora carelessly reveals her in front of the other Demon Lords during Walpurgis. Causing her to be angry about the "damn lizard ruining everything for her again", as she puts it herself.
Also Yuuki has a different personality in the LN and though he sent someone out to find whatever the Vampire Queen is hiding, the person in question fails because the coffin is protected by Hinata who is not brainwashed, but instead even actively cooperates with the Vampire Queen in the LN. So the infiltrator has to escape. Not spoiling who the infiltrator is because it's more fun not to spoil everything.
