"How many days has it been since I ate Veldora?" Rimuru asked.
"I don't know. *sigh* I am bored seeing this endless cavern."
In these days if anything Rimuru gained many skills while Neptune got a little bit of handling on her unique skill <<Holy One>>. She wanted to test the sub skill <Power cell> and with the added bonus of her transformation, she wanted to see the so-called enhanced physical strength by using this skill, but she would need the Sun for that. She could control and manipulate light using another sub skill <Light manipulation>. Not only that, but she could turn invisible by using this skill together with <<Processor>>.
Both Rimuru and Neptune had to pass through a small water reservoir and climb through steep edges and deep pits. And during passing through these hurdles Neptune had her first fight against an Armorsaurus. She handled it easily by creating a sword of light using <Light manipulation> and beheading it.
While Rimuru fought the others and used <<Predator>> on all the kills. He got <Poisonous breath> and <Sense heat source> from the Black Serpent, <Body Armor> from Armorsaurus, <Paralysis breath> from the Evil Centipede, <Sticky Thread> and <Steel Thread> from the Black Spider and <Drain> and <Ultrasonic waves> from the Giant Bat. He had quite a good haul of skills, but Neptune couldn't get them even through sub skill <I/O> as these skills need user's magicules and though Neptune and very high magicule resistance she is still human.
Several weeks had passed and if anything Neptune and Rimuru had become quite close. Neptune also had gained sufficient experience in fighting using light constructs through skill <Light manipulation>.
"At last, we have reached it, the exit." Neptune exclaimed.
"Yes, finally." Rimuru was also happy at last leaving the damn cavern.
Just when both of them were approaching the giant door and opening it, the door slowly began to open on itself. Seeing this Neptune immediately picked up Rimuru and hid behind some rocks. She also used the <Light manipulation> to turn both her and Rimuru invisible.
When the door completely opened, three humans entered.
"Hah! The keyhole was complete rusted. It somehow opened."
"No surprise but nobody was here since last 300 years."
While two men of the trio were talking, the girl interjected saying "We'll not be attacked right? But if it becomes too dangerous we will use <<Escape>>."
When the trio were preparing to travel deep inside the cave, Neptune and Rimuru were using <<Telepathy>>.
'They seem to be adventures. Don't you think?'
'Definitely.'
'But how can we understand them?' When Rimuru asked this, Neptune immediately answers '<<Magic Sense>'
When both Neptune and Rimuru were talking another Neptune's <<Processor>> showed a very specific request from Veldora.
[Individual Veldora Tempest requests the memory segment transfer of series 'Code Geass'. Would you agree?]
'Not now. Decline'
[Affirmative.]
Just a second later <<Processor>> notifies [Individual Veldora Tempest again requests the memory segment transfer of series 'Code Geass'. Would you agree?]
'Hmm, this asshole. Agree but send the last episode first.'
[Affirmative.]
When Neptune was busy sending spoilers of the series, the trio of the adventures went deeper into the cavern.
"Oi! Did you see that skill <<Stealth>>. Only a pervert would have that skill." Rimuru said while thinking 'I have to make friends with him later.'
"Really only a perv would have that!" Neptune said while thinking 'I need that skill. The potential of that skill is endless.'
With that both Rimuru and Neptune left the cave where Veldora was sealed at last.
------------------------------------------------------------
"What a beautiful forest don't you think Rimuru."
"Yeah!"
When both of them were enjoying the sunlight and the fresh outer air, they heard rustling in the bushes near them. In front of them from the bushes a bunch of tiny green men appeared carrying rusted swords and broken shields.
"Goblins~" Neptune conjuring light swords in her hand. The goblins immediately flinched seeing Neptune ready to fight.
"Strong ones, do you have any business here?"
"Strong one?" Both Neptune and RImuru said at the same time.
Seeing that Goblins were not attacking them right away, Rimuru thought of communicating with them.
"Hello! I am a slime, and my name is Rimuru." when Rimuru was sending his thought with the sound waves through his skills. Neptune hearing Rimuru shouting bonked him with her fist.
"Blegh! Why did you do that?" Rimuru asked.
"You were too loud. Look at the goblins."
Rimuru then turned towards the Goblins who were all bowing towards them.
"This miss is right, we already know you are very strong. Please quiet your voice."
'Maybe I put too much thought in the voice.' Then Rimuru changing the topic asked "Do you need something?"
Then the one that previously replied again answered "We sensed a powerful monster, so we came to check as a precaution."
"I don't sense anyone like that? Do you Neptune?"
"Of course it's you. You don't know that you are leaking a large amount of aura or what ever it is. It kept monsters away, and it didn't affect me, I thought you already knew."
"HeHe! I knew." Rimuru said avoiding directly looking at Neptune.
'Hey! <<Great Sage>> change the perspective of <<Magic Sense>> so that I can see this aura Neptune is talking about.'
After seeing a tremendous aura releasing from himself he immediately absorbed it into himself.
"Good! I was just testing if you all are worthy."
Neptune immediately thought 'For what?'
Then the entire goblin gang had a collective gasp of wonder.
One Goblin hearing what the human and slime were saying put up a request "Strong ones, we have seen your power, we wish to ask for a favour."
