"That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" began serialization on Let's Become a Novel in 2013, and is currently a mega-hit with over 400 million page views and a total of 5.5 million copies in print. After the protagonist, a former human named Mikami, dies, he is literally reincarnated as a slime in another world. That's where the story begins. Humans, dwarves, elves, goblins, and orcs. Even a demon lord. The protagonist, Rimuru Tempest, is a slime who is active in a fantasy world, but one day he meets Milim Nava, one of the demon lords. She is also a key person in this story, and it seems there is a secret about her background. In this article, I would like to introduce and discuss Milim Nava.

【That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime】The Appearance of Milim Nava and the Great Jura Forest

The Oldest and Best Milim

In this work, Milim appears in the scene where she plans to turn Orclord into a demon lord with Clayman, one of the demon lords, but it fails due to Rimuru Tempest, and the non-aggression pact of the Great Jura Forest is abolished. The demon lords (Clayman, Milim, Karion, and Frey) who are interested in Rimuru each plan to invade the Great Jura Forest. However, the Great Jura Forest is protected by a non-aggression pact. The original purpose was to prevent the seal on the Storm Dragon Veldora from being broken, but now that Rimuru has devoured him, that danger is gone, so Milim proposes abolishing the non-aggression pact. The other three Demon Lords looked dumbfounded when Milim told them that the treaty would be approved if the other two Demon Lords who proposed it agreed. Milim simply replies that it can't be helped if the young Demon Lord doesn't know. As expected of the most simple-minded and yet most cunning Demon Lord.

What is the generation of demon lords?

Rules of the Demon Lord

The order in which the demon lords became demon lords that we know so far is that the first generation is Guy, Milim, and Raviris, the second generation is Dagruel, Luminas, Dino, and then Clayman. The third generation, or the new demon lords, are Leon, Karion, Frey, and Rimuru, but we still don't know much about them.

The Strongest Milim

After seeing the battle between Orclord and Rimuru in the crystal, Milim becomes interested and goes to Tempest alone to meet Rimuru. Rimuru immediately notices her presence and prepares for battle, but Milim says she came to say hello. However, Shion, Souei, and Benimaru immediately begin their attack at once. They don't even get a scratch on her and just when they think they'll be killed, they are overwhelmed by the deliciousness of Rimuru's honey attack and become friends with Rimuru. By the way, even with Rimuru's "Great Sage", Milim's magic power is at least 10 times the lower limit, making her incredibly strong.

Dragon Knuckles and Milim

Milim's favorite is the Dragon Knuckles that Rimuru gave her as a gift. In fact, this weapon has been given an effect of reducing attack power because Rimuru is too strong. Even with the Dragon Knuckles, Milim is no match for Rimuru in combat training. Milim keeps inviting Rimuru to become a Demon Lord.

【That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime】Milim Nava's Dragon Eye and Upbringing

Milimu Explaining Her Skills

Milim has a skill called "Dragon Eye" that allows her to know the amount of magical energy of her opponent just by looking at them. Why on earth? It is closely related to Milim's upbringing. In fact, Milim's father is the primordial dragon named Star King Dragon Veltanava, and is also the oldest brother of the four currently existing dragon species. Dragons generally have no lifespan, and Veltanava has always been the strongest being. However, he falls in love with Lucia, the younger sister of the hero Rudrano. And he is blessed with a child with her. That is Milim. Veltanava had most of her powers stolen by her child, and lived as a human, becoming Velta Nava. This Nava is the surname Milim inherited. Because of this, it is likely that Milim can use the powers of her dragon kind and live a long life. Incidentally, Storm Dragon Veldora is the youngest of the four.

Only four dragon species exist

The words spoken when the Storm Dragon Veldora appeared, there are only four dragon species. The eldest brother, Veltanava (who is already dead, so Milim is probably counted as a dragon species). The eldest daughter, Velzard, the second daughter, Velgrind, and the youngest, Veldora. In fact, these four are all in different locations. Milim is the Demon Lord, Velzard is with Demon Lord Guy, Velgrind is with Emperor Rudra, and Veldora is with Rimuru.

Gaia, a former dragon, given to his daughter Milim by her father, Velta Nava. Milim's friend and pet Gaia is killed by a certain kingdom. Mourning Gaia's death, Milim kills hundreds of thousands of the country and citizens who killed Gaia. She then evolves into a Demon Lord. At that time, the resurrection of the dead is unintentionally performed by becoming a Demon Lord, and Gaia is resurrected. However, as a Chaos Dragon, he only listens to Milim, who has no ego. Milim, in her grief, seals this Chaos Dragon away.

This story made Rimuru decide to become a Demon Lord

Rimuru heard from Eren about Milim's unintentional resurrection of the dead. He mourns the death of Shion and the others, and is painfully aware of his own weakness, but he singlehandedly kills all the soldiers who killed Shion. After sacrificing over 10,000 people, which was the condition for becoming a Demon Lord, Rimuru Tempest became the Demon Lord and brought Shion back to life.

【That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime】Milim Nava and Walpurgis

Walpurgis, a banquet for demon lords, requires the approval of three or more demon lords and is one of the few treaties that are binding on demon lords. Demon lord Clayman initiated it to trap the new demon lord Rimuru. At this time, Clayman thought he was controlling Milim through his control as the Demon King. In reality, he was not being controlled, but he was aware of the mastermind behind Clayman's manipulation, and he purposely pretended to be controlled in order to find out. While being controlled, Milim fought Karion, but was defeated in one blow by Milim's Drago Nova. Clayman, who he thought was controlling Milim, also punched Rimuru, enraging him, and he was eaten by Rimuru using the Gluttony King.

From the Ten Great Demon Lords to the Eight Star Demon Lords Octagram

Mirimu's Subordinate

This incident prompted Karion to accept defeat and become Milim's subordinate. Similarly, Frey, while complaining that he can't stand watching the dangerous situation unfold, becomes Milim's subordinate. And with Clayman dead, the new demon lord, "Newbie" Rimuru Tempest, is added, and the group changes its name from the Ten Great Demon Lords to the Eight Star Demon Lords Octagram.

Milim Nava boasts extraordinary strength. When she becomes best friends with Rimuru Tempest and learns about his past, it makes you think it was really great. Milim is full of charm, forgetting her own special move in the middle of a battle, having a sweet tooth, and forming a sweets alliance. We can't wait to see what she does next.
