The Rise of Benimaru: From Mystic Oni to Flame Spirit Oni

In the world of Tempest, the demon lord Rimuru Tempest has been instrumental in shaping the fate of his subordinates. One such individual is Benimaru, who rose through the ranks to become one of Rimuru's three strongest subordinates. The journey began with a ceremony, where Benimaru and Momiji were officially recognized as bound by their souls. This marked the beginning of a new chapter in Benimaru's life, as he was about to undergo a remarkable transformation.

As the leader of the Ogre tribe on the brink of extinction, Benimaru's evolution was crucial for the survival of his people. However, with the concept of lifespan becoming meaningless after awakening as a True Demon Lord, reproduction was no longer necessary. Rimuru bestowed upon him the title of 'Flame Lord' and transferred 100,000 souls into his being through the soul corridor to initiate the evolution process.

Benimaru's transformation did not stop there. After the Tenma Time War, he was naturally selected as one of the first recipients of post-war rewards, using a total of only 180,000 souls. This left him with an impressive stockpile of 530,000 souls. Rimuru then proceeded to infuse his remaining subordinates, including Mizari and Rhein, with souls until they started evolving.

The ability of Gluttonous King Beelzebuth required around 100,000 souls to evolve a capable being into True Demon Lords who did not have the Demon Lord's Seed. However, Raphael, with his bold and daring swindler's advice, asked for more since Guy Crimson was unaware of the actual soul requirements. This led to Guy awakening several subordinates, including Mizari and Rhein, using 10,000 souls each.

As a result, Benimaru's journey from Mystic Oni to Flame Spirit Oni serves as a testament to Rimuru's ability to shape the fate of his subordinates. The events leading up to this transformation demonstrate the power dynamics at play in the world of Tempest and the remarkable abilities of its characters. With 945,000 souls after defeating the Eastern Empire, Rimuru continues to shape the destiny of those around him, leaving a lasting impact on the world.
