{A/N: Welcome to the remake of my previous Tensura fanfic, I hope you all enjoy!}
Inside of a deep dark cave, near a small pool of water lied a being that seemed to be unconscious before they slowly opened their eyes and stood up groggily.
???: Ugh, my head hurts... w-where am I?
{???: You appear to stuck in a large cave, master}
I quickly jumped at the sudden sound of a voice that seemed to have come out of nowhere. I tried to look around to see who spoke, but saw no one.
???: Who's there?!
{???: I apologize for startling you, I am referred to as Mimir, the Lord of Information.}
???: Ok... where are you?
{Mimir: Inside your head.}
???: ...Huh?
{Mimir: You see master, I am one your skills, specifically the most powerful types of skills called "Ultimate Skills."}
???: What is a skill?
{Mimir: Skills are a well known type of ability that, on rare occasions, can be acquired in recognition of some form of personal growth. The nature of their power varies from skill to skill, some belonging to Magic, some manipulating the world through purely natural means, while the most powerful among them are capable of bending the laws of the world to suit the user's will.}
???: And which are you?
{Mimir: The last type, master. As I stated before, I am an Ultimate Skill. My main purpose is to analyze and tell you information on just about anything in the world to the absolute best of my abilities. There is no question I cannot answer or problem I cannot solve.}
???: Ok, then how did I end up in this cave? I don't remember ever coming here.
{Mimir: ...}
???: What's wrong?
{Mimir: ...Okay, there may be a few gaps in knowledge. Though it's strange...}
???: What is?
{Mimir: I feels like I really should know the answer, but can't seem to recall what it is. Almost like I have forgotten it. But... that shouldn't be possible...}
???: Mimir?
{Mimir: Sorry master, I'm just rambling to myself. Is there any other questions you have?}
???: Do skills like you normally talk, that doesn't seem normal if you're just meant to be an ability?
{Mimir: It depends of the overall skill, it is possible for a certain skill to eventually gain a form of sapience, but the vast majority of skills that are capable of speak are basically only voices who only talk when asked by their user. I am much more advance then that, hence my current speaking.}
???: That's interesting... huh? I just realized I never introduced myself. My name is... um... uhh?
{Mimir: Blake.}
Blake: Huh?
{Mimir: Your name is Blake. Your species is some kind of hybrid between a Dragon and Demon.}
Blake: Why... couldn't I remember any of that? You'd think I'd be able to remember my name and what I am?
{Mimir: I am currently unsure master, but it's possible that whatever is effecting you may also effect me as well. Then again, it isn't exactly common for beings like you to have names since it would consume a lot of magicules from the one naming you.}
Blake: Magicules?
{Mimir: Magicules are a type of spiritual matter that is heavily influenced by the minds of living beings and is able to take on many different properties depending on the situation. They are both the building blocks of, and sustenance for many spiritual based creatures like Monsters, Demons, Angels and others. Due to this fact, to name a Monster and even higher beings like Spirits or Dragons, one would have to have a lot of magicules.}
Blake: I see...
I stood up and looked down into the lake to get a look at my appearance. My skin looked so white to the point of being almost palish.
I had long wavy silver white hair and bright blue eyes. I was also wearing what seemed like a small grey robe that covered my entire body, the robe itself didn't look like anything fancy, though it seemed to be made out of a special kind of material that seem to make it more valuable then it looked.
The year of my physical appearance looked to be around the age of seventeen or so, and it was a kinda difficult to tell if I was male or female just from look alone, making me look androgynous.
With that said and done, I began to wander around the cave in order to find an exit. It would normally have been very difficult for me to see in the cave due to there being no light, if not for the fact I already had something that Mimir called "Universal Perception."
{Mimir: Universal Perception allows for the detection of nearly all things within a wide radius. It is an enhanced version of it's predecessor, Magic Sense, but with superior sensory capabilities, allowing the user to perceive not only light and sound, but smell and heat in an extremely wide radius.}
That was their explanation.
My search continued until I began to sense a strong amount of power from deeper in the caverns, I made my over and saw a massive barrier with something big inside of it.
???: I can sense your presence, child. Come on out this instant.
I slowly made my way out and walked over, letting me get a better look at the entity inside.
It was a giant hundred meter tall Dragon, causing my mind to abruptly stop in contemplation.
The question I now had was... do I run or fight in this scenario?
On the one hand, it was a literally Dragon standing in front of me and the power he was emitting was insane. On the other hand, while I was definitely cautious and alert around him and didn't want to risk an actually fight, I wasn't actually as I afraid as I thought I'd be.
His power had me on edge, but I was surprisingly calm and I wasn't really intimated anywhere near to the extent as one really should be when facing something like this.
So I my body was either used to this kind of power, or my body stopped out the fear and my mind had yet to catch up and register it? I honestly couldn't tell.
???: Interesting, you came over and immediately didn't run away after seeing me. Most people do. Or at least... the ones who managed to reach me.
Judging from what he said, if seemed like the former of what I thought was true then the latter.
Blake: Would you have preferred if I run?
???: No! I-I mean, since you willing came of your volition. I will not cause you any harm.
{Mimir: He is trapped in this barrier which prevents him from doing anything in the first place.}
Blake: Right... who are you anyways?
???: Oh? I am so glad you asked. I am Veldora, the Storm Dragon! One of only four True Dragons in existence!
Storm Dragon?
{Mimir: Veldora is the youngest of the four True Dragons, which are beings who are the highest forms of existence out of all creatures in world. Veldora is rather infamous among many nations for being a creature of pure chaos who brings nothing destruction and ruin wherever he goes.}
That explains the giant barrier, but this guy is definitely powerful. It's like every single magicule in this cave is coming all from this one guy.
Veldora: Since you now know me, who are you?
Blake: You can call me Blake.
Veldora: Blake, huh? An interesting name, and you appear to be a some kind of Demon from what I can sense. Though it is rather unusual for a being like you to be here without some kind of summoner.... or to even have a physical vessel. Actually, also having a name is probably the most surprising thing about you.
Blake: I noticed. And I'm only half-Demon, the other half is a Dragon.
Veldora: Really? That makes you even more unusual. The likely hood of a spawn between Dragon and Demon is extremely unlikely, though not exactly impossible. There was only one being I knew who fit that kind of description.
Blake: Really?
Veldora: Yes. Though I never met him or knew his name, I did know what he was. If I'm remembering correctly, you're species are called Cambion.
Before we could speak any further, something abruptly hit the side of his barrier. We both looked over to see it was a... Slime?
A part of it's body was gone due to it's contact with the barrier, but it quickly grew back.
The weird thing though was that this Slime had a surprisingly large amount of Magicules. During my time in this cave, I encountered and killed several creatures, and so far Veldora was the one who had the highest amount of magicules, but this Slime was no slouch either. It was still small in comparison, but much bigger then basically everything else in this cave.
{Mimir: Excluding you and Veldora, this Slime has the highest magicules out of everything in this cave.}
That was true enough. It was nowhere near Veldora's count or my own, but it was definitely not something to sneeze at.
Veldora: You there. Can you hear me, small one?
The Slime jumped at his voice and started looking around.
Veldora: I said, did you hear me? It's rude to just ignore someone. You had best answer me.
Slime: Easier said then done, I don't have a mouth to talk with genius...
Did... that Slime just talk?
{Mimir: This Slime is definitely not a normal creature.}
Geez, what gave it away captain obvious...
Veldora: Hey!
Slime: Stop shouting baldy!
Veldora: Oh-hohoho? You dare call me badly? You're rather bold for a Slime!
He then let out a loud roar that made me cover my ears as it was so loud and powerful that it shook the entire cavern.
Blake: Oi! Mind turning it down a bit?! He's not the only person you're talking to!
Veldora: I was trying to be hospitable as aside from you, it's been a while since I had any visitors. But it seems this Slime has a death wish!
Slime: Hey man, I'm really sorry! I didn't know you could read my mind or whatever! And I don't have eyes or even a mouth, so I'm literally in the dark here!
Blake: Calm down, despite what he's saying, he can't really do anything to you if he wanted too. He's kinda trapped inside this massive barrier at the moment.
Veldora: ...Hahaha! I thought were you brave to call me baldy when you saw me, but it turns out that you are blind. In that case, I shall bestow sight upon you. What say you?
Huh? Is he going to teach him "Universal Perception" like me?
{Mimir: It's very unlikely this Slime is even capable of doing something like that, given how powerful the skill is. He is more likely going to be taught Magic Sense instead.}
Slime: Um, it depends on the conditions...
Blake: I personally take seeing and hearing over just about anything, but whatever floats your boat.
Slime: Well to be fair, I just met some random strangers, one of which is randomly offering me the ability to see and I'm currently in a very weird situation right now with no real idea of what's going on, so forgive me for being a little cautious.
Blake: ...Touché.
Veldora: The conditions are that you must not run away when you see me and to come visit sometime. Are those acceptable terms?
Slime: Is that really it?
Veldora: You see, small one. I was trapped in this cave three-hundred years ago, and in that time; I've grown exceptionally bored. So do we have a deal?
Blake: He's not really asking for anything, this deal favors both parties in the end.
Slime: Kinda curious about the whole sealed thing, but whatever. You got yourself a deal!
Veldora: Excellent. There is a skill called "Magic Sense," can you use it?
Slime: I don't even know that is...
Blake: It basically let's you see and hear everything around you by connecting your senses to the magicules in the air.
Slime: Okay... I'll give it a shot.
After a few minutes of him grunting, he seemed to relax and began to look around him.
Slime: Woah! Is this what magicules look like? I can see, I can see! Oh yeah, that reminds me.
He then stopped and turned around to look into a lake to see his reflection.
Slime: Bummer alert. I really am a Slime...
Blake: How did you not know that?
Slime: Well, I wasn't always a slime. So this is new for me.
Veldora: I assume it went well?
The Slime turned to face Veldora and saw his appearance for the first time.
Slime: Yeah! Thank you so mu-GAH!! Holy crap, you're a Dragon!?
Blake: Yeah... that was almost my reaction to when I first saw him.
Veldora: Allow me to formally introduce myself, I am Veldora, the Storm Dragon. Don't forget our deal, Slime.
Slime: I would never! It's not like I'm scared or anything, but I go some errands to run, so I'll-HEY!
Quickly seeing what he was trying to do, I grabbed hold of the amorphous blob and lifted him to face me.
Blake: Again, he is literally stuck in that barrier. The most he can do right now is laugh hard enough that this place collapses on us. So chill.
Slime: Oh! S-Sorry... wait, who are you?
Blake: You can just call me Blake. Though, I'm more curious about you.
Slime: Why's that?
Blake: Because your just... very weird for a Slime.
Slime: Weird?
Veldora: It's true. Slimes are among the lowest forms of Monsters who not are barely able to do anything other then move and eat, but you seem intelligent. Are you unique like Blake here?
Slime: What does being unique mean?
Veldora: It refers to a being who naturally has extraordinary abilities.
Slime: I don't know. The truth is that I use to be Human and was stabbed to death before ending up like this.
Blake: You were reincarnated. Damn... and into the one of the worst kind of bodies too no less.
Slime: At least I'm sapient and can do a lot more with my skills then other Slimes can.
Veldora: It is very unusual for someone to come to this world in that manner. There are occasionally others who will come here from another world, but you're the first I've heard about being reincarnated. Most beings aren't able to withstand of having only their souls travers worlds.
Slime: So there people who come here, but never through reincarnation?
Veldora: We call them otherworlders. I heard they get special abilities based on their desires once they cross over to this land.
Slime: I see... that's probably how I got my skill.
Blake: What is your skill?
Slime: It's called "Predator" and it let's me devour and storm items in my bodies, when I eat something, I usually get some of it's traits and abilities.
Blake: And how did you get that skill?
Slime: I... shouldn't say it.
Why am I getting this strange feeling the skill is called "Predator" for a very different reason then what the name is usually meant for...
Slime: Also, what did Veldora mean when he said you were unique?
Veldora: I was referring to how Blake here is a Cambion, a species that are half-Dragon and Demon.
Slime: Hold on! You're a Dragon and Demon Hybrid?! That is both so cool and unfairly OP!
Blake: Hey, that's just what I am. But I sure as hell ain't complaining about it. At least it's better then being a Slime.
Slime: Hey! ...Actually, are you an otherworlder too?
Blake: I... don't think so? I can't really remember anything before I got here. I just suddenly woke up in this cave and could barely remember anything about me.
Slime: You have amnesia? That sucks...
Blake: yeah, I was trying to find a way out before I came across Veldora here.
Slime: Well, I hope one of us finds it. I'd like to see if I can find anyone else from Japan in this world.
Blake: You got a name to refer to you by? I mean, you said you were reincarnated, so I'm assuming you were called something back then.
Satoru: Before my death, my name was Satoru Mikami. Though it does feel weird being called that now. Anyways, It's probably best to find us a way out now.
Veldora: Oh... you're both leaving so soon?
Is the giant Dragon actually pouting?
Blake: Well, I guess we could stay a little longer. We just got here, so I doubt we really have anything to do at the moment.
Satoru: That's true, so I guess it couldn't hurt to stay a bit more.
Veldora: O-Oh! Excellent! Please stay as long as you like!
Wow, he cheered up really quickly at that. Then again, being stuck here for three-hundred years will probably make you want anyone here just the isolation doesn't drive you insane.
Blake: That reminds me, what's this about you being sealed here?
Veldora: Yes! It is quite the story! It all happened around three-hundred years ago...
He went to explain how he "accidently" a large town and someone came to stop his rampage. According to him, he fought this opponent in 1v1 duel and he lost the fight even after going full power.
Satoru: You lost? Then your opponent must have been super powerful.
Veldora: Yes, she was extraordinarily powerful. I think the Humans called her a Hero that was blessed with divine protection.
A Hero?
{Mimir: Heroes are individuals of certain strength and caliber, who became revered by the people because of their heroic deeds or immense strength. There are two types of Heroes, those are Heroes in name and those are Heroes in class. They are often considered candidates to be potentially become a Chosen Hero who are the polar opposite to the True Demon Lords.}
Veldora: Using her Unique Skill "Absolute Severance" she managed to overpower me and then sealed me away using another Unique Skill called the "Unlimited Imprisonment."
Satoru: I'm assuming that shiny barrier is her "Unlimited Imprisonment."
Veldora: Yes, you should also know that Hero called herself a summon.
Blake: I'm assuming that is a type of otherworlder, right?
Veldora: Correct. It requires more then thirty powerful mages to start a ritual that takes several days to bring someone here.
Satoru: Sweet! You guys have mages here?! This is starting to sound more like a video game!
Blake: ...The hell is a video game?
Veldora: The summoned is expected to serve as a powerful weapon for the summoner. They use powerful magic to carve a curse into the summoned's soul so that they may never defy their master less they be destroyed.
Satoru: What the heck! That's seriously messed up man!
Veldora: Is it? I'm not sure what your world is like, but in this world; the only thing that truly matters is survival of the fittest.
Blake: So it's basically a kill or be killed kind of situation out there right now...
Satoru: So you've been stuck in this cave since the Hero sealed you three hundred years ago?
Veldora: Yes, and I'm so incredibly bored!
Yeah, being stuck for decades and not being to do anything or see anyone really sucks when it happens to you, takes a real toll on your sanity. I would want to get revenge on the bastard who did that to me!
...Huh? Where'd that come from?
Satoru: Oh? I know, what if the three of us became friends?
Veldora: Are kidding? Me, the might Storm Dragon! Friends with a lowly Slime and some random Cambion?!
He acts like he finds it ridiculous, but it's obviously he wants to and it just too prideful to admit it.
Satoru: Y-Yeah, you're right! It was a stu-
Blake: Oh! I'm sorry! It just that since you've been stuck here for so long with no visitors, we'd thought you'd might like the idea of finally having people to call friends, but no! If you're gonna be such a jerk about it, then we don't need this! C'mon Satoru, we have better places to be then with someone who clearly doesn't want us here.
I picked up the Slime and began to walk away, when:
Veldora: N-Now hold a second, let's calm down! I-I didn't say I was opposed to the idea!
Heheh, hook line and sinker.
Satoru: S-So uh... does that mean you're cool with it?
Veldora: I-I suppose I could make an exception... just this once, I'd be willing to consider it.
Wow, he really doesn't want to admit it. I mean it would make sense since he's such a powerful and scary being with a fearsome reputation, but it's just us here man!
Satoru: Playing hard to get?! Fine that settles it, we're friends! Unless of course you'd rather be here alone...
Veldora: N-No I wouldn't! Consider this your lucky day you two, we'll be friends.
Satoru: Whatever makes you feel better about it. Well put it their pal!
Veldora: Right... pal.
Blake: Gosh, you two are so weird... but I don't really mind.
The three of us extended out hands (claw in Veldora's case and stump in Satoru's) and touch together in the form of a weird handshake.
It's kinda weird making friends with a Slime and Dragon of all things, but I got nothing else to do and I'd at least rather have someone to talk too instead of being all by myself.
Satoru: So, what are we gonna do? About the "Unlimited Imprisonment?" Since we're buddies, I'd feel kinda bad just leaving you here after all the time you've been stuck in there.
Veldora: Buddies?
Blake: Yeah? We just became friends and friends call each other names like buddies.
Veldora: I-I see...
He giving us some kinda of look.
If I had to take an educated guess, it's the Dragon equivalent to puppy dog eyes... and strangely working on me.
Veldora: I'm willing to listen to any ideas you two have. As it probably stands now, I probably have only one-hundred years before my magic completely runs out. My magicules have been leaking out of me...
Blake: That explains the giant amount of magicules in the air and the many magical minerals and fauna that are being spawned everywhere.
Satoru: What happens when you run out?
Veldora: Nothing much. I'll probably just die.
Blake: Ah, that makes sense... huh? Wait if that's the case, then why the hell are you so calm about it?!
Veldora: It's not too a big a deal for me. Since I'm a True Dragon, I can't really die. When my current form expires here, I'll just come back in around a millennia or so in another location.
Satoru: That seems a little overpowered in my opinion...
Veldora: Not overpowered. It is only natural for someone like me.
Oh great, so he's a Dragon, immortal, and is one of the beings with the highest existence in the world. Could he can he get anymore broken...?
{Mimir: He could could get an Ultimate skill.}
...Don't jinx it, Mimir.
Veldora: Still, even I will inevitably return. It doesn't make the isolation any less pleasant.
Satoru: Wow, centuries of complete solitude then only to die alone? Hmm... well it's worth a shot.
Satoru approached the barrier and touch it while attempting to use "Predator" to devour it.
It failed.
Can I do anything?
{Mimir: You do have another ultimate skill that would most likely work... though it's a bit unpredictable and rather risky in this situation.}
What is it?
{Mimir: It's called, Lord of Annihilation, Ramiel. It allows you to ignite the magicules in the surrounding vicinity and forms into a blast of nuclear energy that can be manipulated by the user into either a wide area attack or a massive single target attack, the user can ignite how many magicules they wish and if needed the attack with also to absorb extra magicules from the land to power itself further. Along with the added bonus of letting the user determine their targets, in that case, it will really only start harming what the user wants to harm instead of any friendlies who might get caught up. However, given the circumstances and your current unknown experience with the skill's usage, while it would work; there is a good chance you may collapse this entire cave on us, especially since it tends to feed on many of the surrounding unused magicules automatically to continue fueling it's power if it's needed.}
When I asked for more information, Mimir told me that the skill was made up of seven sub-skills. Which were as followed: Though Acceleration, Spiritron Manipulation, Dimensional Rupture, Space-time Manipulation, Magicule absorption, Multi-Dimensional Barrier, Limit Break.
Basically it's really powerful and would definitely work, but it's somewhat risky and a bit unpredictable.
Any other options?
{Mimir: Well, if analyzed from both sides by two users. You could combine the information to form a platform that will give me complete concept of the barrier and it's machinations. Normally, I would able to unseal this Unique Skill without issue... but there's some strange anomaly connected to it that currently makes it a bit difficult to instantly undo at this current moment.}
What is the anomaly?
{Mimir: It seems to be some kind of... time anomaly?}
...Huh?
Veldora: Hey, it's rude to just ignore me and talk your skills!
Blake: Sorry, but we're trying to come up with a decent plan to get you out. Speaking of which, Satoru, you thinking what I'm thinking?
Satoru: Analyze the "Unlimited Imprisonment" from both sides to find a way through it?
Blake: Exactly.
Veldora: I'm afraid I won't be able to analyze from my side. The Hero also sealed my skills when she locked me up, so I doubt I'll be much help.
Satoru: Then just give us the data to analyze.
Veldora: That is doable, but it could take quite a while, and I don't want to wait all that time... n-not that I care or anything!
Satoru: That's true. I was thinking tp try and find others from my world.
Veldora: I understand.
Blake: Though we can't exactly leave you here either, there's no telling when or even if we'll be back. For all we know, this could be the last time we see each other in case something bad happens out there.
Veldora: T-That's... a good point.
Satoru: Oh! There is one other thing we could dry.
Veldora: What is it?
Satoru: ...How you about you get in my stomach?
Veldora: ...
Blake: ...What?
Satoru: See, I can use my skills "Great Sage" and "Predator" to analyze the "Unlimited Imprisonment." Meanwhile, you can try to destroy from the inside to weaken it. You'll be stored inside my Slime belly and probably won't disappear. Heck, I can give half the information to Blake here, so we should be able to get through it even quicker! What do you think?
If I'm being honest, I was seriously expecting Veldora to instantly deny this request because he didn't want to be stuck in someone's stomach for god knows how long. But instead, he started laughing.
Veldora: Now that sounds like it could be interesting, let's do it! I trust you completely my friend!
Satoru: S-Seriously? No questions asked?
Blake: Y-Yeah, I'd personally be hesitant to let just anyone eat me...
Veldora: What other choice do I have? My only other option is to wait all alone for either of you two to return, and like Blake already said; we do not know how long it will before we see each other or even a guarantee you guys will actually return.
Satoru: I guess, and three is better then two or one. Ok, so I'll use my-
Veldora: Wait! Before we proceed, I'd like to give you a proper name to you, and I think you should do the same for me.
Satoru: Huh?
Veldora: By doing so, it will engrave into our souls the fact we are equals. I believe Humans refer to it as a family name and the name I grant you will be my divine protection. As of currently, you are nameless, so this will mark you as a monster of power.
Satoru: A monster with a name huh? Sounds cool!
Veldora: Indeed! Though before that, I would know something... Blake, who named you?
Blake: I'm... unsure.
Veldora: Hmm, well whoever it was, they had to have been rather powerful themselves. It doesn't just take anyone to name an entity as powerful and special as you. I wouldn't mind overriding the name so that it's connected to me, but that doesn't seem currently possible.
Blake: Why?
Veldora: For it to fully work, the person would either have to be dead or have a much lower magicule count then I do, which from I sense, doesn't seem to be case in either scenario.
Blake: Well, that's interesting to know.
Veldora: Yes, though it seems like you don't a have family name. So that at least should still work. Alright, now it's time! Give me a good name.
Satoru: Let's see, you're called the Storm Dragon, so I feel like it should be related to storms... I know! How about Tempest? That's a cool name right?
Veldora: ...TEMPEST! THAT'S WHAT YOU CHOSE?!
Blake: Gah! Again with my freaking ears!
Satoru: Wah! I-Is it dumb?
Veldora: It sounds amazing! From this day onward, I am Veldora Tempest! Now for you turn, how about... Rimuru?
Satoru: Rimuru... yeah, sounds good.
Veldora: Then you are now Blake Tempest and Rimuru Tempest!
In that moment, the both of us were enveloped by a bright yellow light and it felt like the very name of Tempest itself had been engraved into my very existence.
{Mimir: Magicule count as increased by 2x.}
Blake & Rimuru: I am... Blake/Rimuru Tempest!
Veldora: Blake... Rimuru.
Blake: Veldora...
Rimuru: Tempest. Ok, I'm gonna eat you now.
Blake: Let's get you out of this prison!
Veldora: Do it!
Rimuru then used his "Predator" skill which let him grown in size and surround the "Unlimited Imprisonment" completely. After covering it up, he began to slowly shrink more and more until he became his Slime form again.
Rimuru: That was easier then I expected. Still... things are gonna be more quiet without Veldora.
Blake: At least you still have me, right?
Rimuru: That's true, so it won't be all bad.
Rimuru then jumped onto my shoulder as we began walking deeper into the cave to find the way out of here. Along with that, Rimuru made sure to store any magic ore and plant we came across, just in case.
During out time wandering, Rimuru would acquire a couple skills we swam in some water. In the process, he learnt skills like "Water Movement," "Water Pressure Propulsion," and "Water Blade" which were fused into the Extra skill "Water Manipulation."
That reminds me, what other skills do I have?
{Mimir: In terms of magic: You posses Elemental magic in the forms of Ice, Spatial, Gravity, and Nuclear magic. Holy Magic. Dark magic. Summoning Magic. Spirit magic in the form of Necromancy, and one more art of magic called True Magic from the Frost type Factor. Along with those, you also have the Intrinsic skills of Universal Perception, Parallel Existence, Universal Shapeshift, and Infinite Regeneration.}
According to Mimir, every race had intrinsic skills with the types and amount varying upon different species and their overall evolution to higher and more powerful races. Normal races of the Cardinal world such as Lycanthropes had skills like "Beast Body," "Beastialize," and "Self-Regeneration" while more powerful and spiritual races like Demons had "Magic Resistance," "Material Creation," and "Possession."
Anything Else?
{Mimir: You also have a couple of Nullifications and resistances; which are: Pain Nullification. Abnormal Condition Nullification. Natural Effects Nullification. Physical Attack Nullification. Thermal Fluctuation Nullification. Scorch Magic Resistance. Chaos (Holy-Demonic) attack Resistance. Spiritual Attack Resistance.}
Why do I have so much power? This seems like a bit much even for a Dragon and Demon hybrid like me.
{Mimir: That would probably be related to the fact you seem to have a rather high existence.}
Rimuru: GAH!!
Blake: What's wron-oh!
In front of us was a Black Serpent which became a way to test Rimuru's skills as he killed it instantly and devoured it's body which allowed him to gain the skills of "Poisonous Breath" and "Sense Heat Source."
Rimuru: EW! I KNOW I CAN'T TASTE, BUT STILL! EW!!
Blake: If you can't taste anything, then what the heck are you disgusted by?
Rimuru: Well excuse me! I'm just not use to eating the beheaded corpse of some poisonous animal!
This began a constant repeat of us wandering around, encountering a hostile creature, killing it, and Rimuru eating the remains to get some new skills and moving again. He eventually even manage to finally speak normally out loud instead of relying on a more mental link to talk.
After some time, we finally found ourselves in front of a large metal door.
Rimuru: That door has to be the exit!
Blake: Finally! It's feels like been stuck in here for days!
Before we could move, the door started opening and reacting quickly, I grabbed Rimuru and hid behind in one of the darkest corners of the room.
Gido: About time this sucker opened... the key hole was so freaking rusty that it was almost impossible to use.
Kaval: That's no big surprise. This place has been vacant for around three-hundred years or whatever.
Eren: We should still be careful not to let our guard down. If worst comes to worst, we can always use our escape skill.
What are they, adventurers? What the heck could they want in a place like this?
Whatever the reason is, it might not be a good idea to reveals ourselves since they'll most likely attack on sight. Even if don't attack due to my Human look, me being here with literally no memory of how or why I got here is probably not gonna fly by.
Gido: Alright, come close so I can activate my "Stealth Arts."
When they did, the rogue hit his fist and palm together which caused all three of them to turn invisible. The only sign they were there was the light sounds and imprints of footsteps being made.
Rimuru: He called that skill "Stealth Arts?!" Imagine the amount of peeping you could do! What a disgraceful perv that I absolutely make friends with later!
Blake: Oh! So you're a little pervert, huh
Rimuru: W-What?! No I am not! I-I'm simple uh... man of culture is all!
Blake: Hmm, well let me tell you one small issue with this "man of culture" shtick that you're trying to argue for.
Rimuru: What?
Blake: You're a Slime, so you have no d*ck. Meaning you can never experience "that" and will forever remain a virgin until you die... again.
Rimuru stood still at first before he jumped and spasmed in the air out of shock as he screamed a bit before falling into a puddle on the floor.
Rimuru: No... my poor son is gone... why god? WHY?!
Blake: Oh shut up you big baby, let's just get moving already.
Rimuru: Of all the things I could be! Why did it have to be a damn Slime?!
Blake: Oh what? Now you hate your current body because your not a guy anymore?
Rimuru: SHUT UP!! You don't know the pain of what it's like to no longer have you're son you bastard!
Ignoring Rimuru's plight, I grabbed his now puddled form and quickly walked out of the cave and into the world.
