•the Storm Dragon Resurrection
As I ordered the 『King of Wisdom Raphael』 to release Veldora, I felt the raging storm of energy within me.
I felt a soul that had incredible power being unleashed.
(I was reborn!!)
Don't you sound weird? I wanted to retaliate, but abstained and,
(Yes! It's been a while, how are you?)
I offer a light greeting.
(.. What's up with that. I'm back and a bad greeting…
But it was faster than expected. I think it'll be a while longer)
(No! 『Infinite Jail』 does take quite a long time.
If my 『Great Sage skill does not evolve, it will take another hundred years.
(Well, my unique expertise 『Investigator』 has also analyzed the prison.
Unfortunately, since it is sealed inside, I cannot send 『Great Sage』 its report.
How powerful it is, 『Infinite Jail』! As expected of a hero.
By the way, what's with skill development?)
Veldora asked and I began the explanation.
My transformation into a demon king made my unique skill evolve into a supreme skill.
『Great Sage』 has become 『Raphael』 and its analytical capabilities are rapidly increasing.
(Hoho, so so. Oh, and you became a demon lord in less than a year!
Unlike those fakes, the awakened demon lord was really strong, you know!
(Well! Who knows! Could I be a genius?
I was the strongest slime since birth, my goodness.
That much is given, isn't it?)
(Are you an idiot? Doing things that don't make sense. Indeed, I feel that you give off an unreasonable amount of magical energy once in a while.
And then go around naming people left and right.. You know that whenever you don't have enough energy, it comes from Me, right?
What a silly man.
I thought by taking My energy by You would extend the prison, but who would have thought you would shorten it by evolving.
Very unexpected, I must say!)
Eh? So the reason I'm okay calling everyone is because of Veldora?
Never once did I think that the risk-free evolution I witnessed was weird.
I don't think I can call people frivolous anymore.
I see ... now I understand why the demon lords did not quickly increase their follower count.
Well, at the end of this game, let's just assume everything goes according to plan.
(Yes? I planned all this, though (a blatant lie)!
By the way, is there a gift for you?
The evolution of the demon lord mentioned something about the gifts given to everyone related to Me)
He made an incredulous face.
And think for a moment,
(Ooooh! So that's skill evolution!
My unique skill 『Educator』 evolved into the ultimate skill 『Investigation King Faust』.
Realizing the spirit of My Inquisitiveness, I was given the path to the highest truth!)
He's very excited.
Just like her appearance, she was quite ignorant.
Even if it doesn't matter.
To the very happy Veldora,
(Good for you, I guess. The evolution of skills often happens unexpectedly, right?)
I asked, I asked,
(Stupid! I didn't expect such a thing to happen in a few thousand years.
Well, since those who've experienced it don't brag about it, it's more of a secret than anything.
You have experienced something very valuable!)
He answers.
I mean, yes, considering that the demon lord did not just wake up every day, it would be an extremely rare occurrence.
I wanted to keep talking for longer, but Veldora might be itching to go out.
But I'm worried if it'll be okay.
After all, he was being tracked down by the miracle of the Church.
Wouldn't they know when he was around?
(Hey, now that we have unsealed it and you have been reborn, will you go out?
But, the problem is, you are leaking so much aura that everyone will know soon ..)
(Are you going to get in trouble if they do?)
Ja.
I wanted to joke, but, uh,
Will I be troubled...No, not one bit, according to Me?
If anything happens, I can always rely on Veldora.
(No; if I think about it, it does not bother Me too much.
So, as a medium, how about you use one of my clones?)
I offered and, making a clone, transferred Veldora's consciousness there.
So release him from my stomach.
Me and my beautiful imitation.
The only difference is that her hair has now turned platinum.
What I'm thinking…
It suddenly began to grow, reaching 2 meters. And, the body becomes firm, masculine face.
Only my common facial features are left. He has become a handsome young man.
In short, it is the appearance of Me if I make myself I look like a man. So I thought.
As expected, he's really a battle maniac. Take on an easy fight in a scary form.
He didn't turn into a giant dragon, and I almost thought he would.
(Yahaha! I have gained the strongest power! All those who disobey will die!!)
And another similar sentence, Veldora said trying to appear like a stereotypical villain.
By the way, I remember that sentence. A boss in my favorite manga I said it.
「Hei .. old grandpa. How do you know that line? 」
「Kuahahaha! The thing is, I'm bored so I decided to analyze and read your memories! 」
“Yo! You know that doing useless things delays analysis, right? 」
「Eh?」
「… ..Eh?」
We look each other in the eyes.
Unfortunately, I doubt there's anything fun in that memory.
「After that. You have set me free, thank you! 」
He lowered his eyes and re-directed the conversation.
At that moment,
?ik?Announcements. I have obtained two important pieces of information?
Raphael.
This is what he reported, though,
? ik?First, the formation of “Soul” Corridor with individuals: Veldora has been confirmed.
Individual: Veldora has been analyzed and the ultimate skill 『Storm King Veldora』 has been obtained.
The effects of the ultimate skill 『Storm King Veldora』 are as follows.
Storm Dragon Summon: The ability to summon Veldora in the form of his dragon.
※ Depending on the amount of magical energy allocated, the summoning time is reduced.
Storm Dragon Elements: The ability to possess Individuals: Veldora uses a clone.
※ Even in case of death, memory recovery is possible.
Magic Dragon Storm Archives: Ability to use “Wind Death Carrier”, “Black” Driver, and “Destruction Storm”
As explained above.
Currently in use, the Storm Dragon Release had no time limit.
However, under current conditions, other skills from 『Storm King Veldora』 cannot be used?
Another bomb announcement.
Are you kidding…
I linked the information with Veldora, though,
「A” Soul Corridor “, yes. So all my memories will transcend space and time and accumulate within you.
So, in other words, as long as you exist, I am immortal.
Even if I am again sealed in the Infinite Prison, all you have to do is cancel the summoning.
I mean, I was always almost invincible, but now I'm immortal too. 」.
Well, that's assuming I keep living.
Really, how scary this story is.
Imagine if someone attacked I thought it would be one-on-one and suddenly “Yahoo!”, Veldora appeared!
My me my. How pathetic his opponent was.
What a ridiculous trump card I got.
By the way, not two pieces of information?
? ik?The second: through the food chain, a great amount of ability has been offered to you, sir.
Should I selectively eliminate some by combining and strengthening others? [YES NOT]?
Not that I'll have time to use it.
I mean, there must be some people who have spent years researching this skill. I won't be able to use it right away.
So it doesn't matter.
I thought, and chose [YES].
The combination of skills has begun, and is quickly terminated.
?ik?Announcements. Unique skill 『Endless Prison』 has been used as base during fusion.
Unique skills 『Und Imperfect Prison』 has evolved into the ultimate skill 『Kovenan Raja Uriel』?
Whahuh?
So I have acquired the unique skill 『Prison Without End』 also …
It was an important announcement but Raphael-san was not affected at all.
Covenant, in other words, loyalty.
Perhaps this is the crystal form of the faithfulness of the Believer I am.
Skills created by combining everything I gained – highest skills 『Kovenan Raja Uriel』.
I checked my strength after acquiring the skill. I feel an incredible sense of security.
Perhaps this is proof of My bond with My colleagues.
Hm? Waita minute…
Does this mean I have obtained the four highest skills ?!
Now... Is it okay for me to be proud of my abilities? No, don't be negligent.
Sad are the days of arrogant fools, they say.
As someone who calls himself a demon lord, I can't let my guard down.
Alrighty! Every time I get carried away, I lose. This is a time to be very careful.
Anyway, let's check his abilities.
?ik?Aqueous. Ultimate Skill 『Covenant King Uriel』 has the following capabilities.
Spatial Domination: The ability to manipulate space to shift to recognizable coordinates. Movement Capability.
Defense Barrier: The ability to create multi-layered defenses, and distort space to create absolute defenses.
Infinite Prison: The ability to completely seal targets with the ultimate seal.
Remote Spaces: The ability to control heat by manipulating inertia. It is now possible to release and absorb heat at will.
That's everything.
After acquiring this skill, the relevant inferior auxiliary skill had been removed?
I'm seeing…
Spatial Domination seemed to allow me to move somewhere in an instant.
The Defense Barrier seemed to be now covering my body. Distractions I don't need, Raphael seems to have controlled it completely.
Infinite Prison can be activated as I wish. It was the same barrier that trapped Veldora. In other words, those I caught would never be able to get out.
I didn't really get the Remote Room. I'm sure I have a higher grade fire manipulation ability…
As a test, I burned my fist.
By my command, it disappeared. Oh okay.
Without wasting the heat released, I can pre-serve the state of an isolated space.
For beyond My understanding, I may not be able to use it, but I understand that it is another absurd skill.
Leave it to Raphael-san.
Frankly, Uriel's skills are instant travel, absolute defense, and sealing.
This I understand completely.
So.. Aren't I invincible?
… No, no, I just decided to stay careful.
Don't ride a high horse for this slime.
When I verified My ability, Veldora was checking her own main skill 『The King Faust』 Investigation.
Sounds like an amazing skill.
His abilities include Acceleration of Mind, Judgment, All Creation, Estimation of Possibilities, and The Pursuit of Truth.
Even I don't have the last two. Unfortunately, the food chain is inactive.
But, I probably won't understand them.
So after I finished investigating my new abilities, I left.
We opened the door and stepped out.
Gabil knelt there, waiting for us.
Did something happen?
「T-t-today is t-t-really lucky H-day …
To find Rimuru-sama and V-Veldora-sama in good health.
He was trembling nervously.
I see, he noticed Veldora's rebirth.
No matter what form he took, his presence made him leave.
And the Dragonewts are descendants of distant dragons.
Moreover, the Jura Forest monsters for a long time respected Veldora.
So of course rebirth will cause panic.
「Veldora, you don't mind I let go of the clone and ask you to re-enter for a moment?」
「Hmm? No, not at all.
I haven't finished reading this one manga through your memories, and I can use your eyes to get all the necessary information 」
He gladly agreed.
For now, introduce him to the head of the department first.
After Veldora enters Me,
「Gabil, no need to worry too much.
If you take a closer look, he is an excellent dragon 」
「U-umm …
What is the relationship between a Rimuru-sama and Veldora-sama?
And on that note, since when was Veldora-sama reborn? 」
Trying to hide the trembling, he asked.
And I cheerfully explained.
Promising that I will introduce it to everyone at the department head meeting.
Well, after returning to the city, I felt it was disturbing, as expected.
Those who can notice, it seems.
The word on the road is “The Storm Dragon has been reborn”, so everyone is on alert.
「Oh, Rimuru-sama, you are not injured!
We suddenly felt the rebirth of Storm Dragon Veldora-sama from the cave.
Knowing that Rimuru-sama has been heading in that direction, we were worried. 」
「Is my brother, is Gabil still alive?!」
Rigurdo was convinced of my return, and so he said.
At the same time, Gabil's sister, Souka, became worried.
「Hmm? Oh, no problem. Rigurdo, how are the meetings going? 」
“Ay. Continuing without delay.
More importantly, it seems that the presence of Veldora-samnear here 」
The words spread quickly.
This is a great opportunity to introduce him to everyone.
Telling everyone, we decided to have a great conference.
Youmu, Ellen, and the other humans will also be present.
We have to decide the next step.
「Souka, Gabil will be there, and you should also participate.
Tell Souei to gather each member! 」
“Ay! I live to serve! 」
He called and ran.
With a speed that Rigurdo could not keep up with, he ran off to deliver a message to Souei.
If I leave it to them, they should gather everyone quickly.
While that was done, I had Rigurdo explain the abilities of the Head of Department.

He was too specialized in combat. Oh and One Hit Kill was not a physical attack, it was targeting the spiritual body directly.

Her…
After hearing Rigurdo's report, I went to check on myself…
But he completely surpassed Benimaru's fighting potential.
What a scary girl.
And hey, what's up with 『Devil Transformations』 ?! He is the demon king now.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was the Demon King race right now.
Why do we need other dangerous individuals who are free?

I don't know what this means.
I know what Tuner means, but what kind of ability is that?
Perhaps, it might be a mysterious skill that is active when an attack does not land or turn the worst outcome into luck or something.
Is this guy's life a joke or something?
As expected of Gabil.
Don't expect anything, and he won't betray your expectations.
He also has a lot of resilience so he is very strong.

Very reliable.
He can direct damage on himself so as to protect the troops using his own defense.
I can expect a lot from him as a division general.
How much he can activate it, however, is currently unknown.
The last one is Diablo.
Since he didn't want to tell Rigurdo, I asked myself.
I mean, I called him and he showed up.

Ha ha ha ha's.
What a nice guy.
He's become very strong.
He could easily become a demon king.
No question about that.
After Veldora and I, he's the next strongest person in town.
Telling him to participate in the conference, I headed to the large meeting room.
This will be an important meeting that will determine the fate of Tempest.
Aim to create a world where humans and monsters can live together in peace …
