That time I got reincarnated as a Slime volume 4 - Fuse and Taiki Kawakami

 Time for the next volume of manga of a series we really like.

And Rimuru stands at the point of decision wether to engage the Orc Lord of not, as asked by the Dryad Treyni...

 

He accepts the task after consulting with his advisors, but in the Lizardmen wetlands, Gabiru, influenced by a being called laPlace, is plotting to overthrow his father and ruin the alliance.  Influenced by a mysterious figure called LaPlace, who is an agent of the majin Gelmud, he orchestrates a coup.  Leading the lizardmen into battle, he does not know of the Orc Lord's skill of evolving his forces with the abilities of those they eat.

Rimuru and his companions rush in, saving both the chieftain and Gabiru while destroying a portion of the orc army.  But as Rimuru's forces close towards the Orc Lord, the true manipulator behind the events, the demon lord Clayman, takes an intrest in our little slime.

And now let's wait for volume 5 to be picked up and continue the epic battle ahead!
