Veldora, the Storm Dragon

A massive wave of magicules erupted in the cave. A giant shadow appeared in front of me and I saw the dragon that had been in my stomach since before I left this cave.

"Bwuahahahahahahahahaha, You thought you were summoning a normal dragon. But it was I Veldora, the venerable storm dragon, bringer of chaos. Bwuahahahahahhaha."

"It is good to see you again my friend. How was my stomach? I hope it wasn't too bad."

"My friend! It is good to see you again, to think that my small friend had such a huge stomach. To think that you could bring me back so quickly. I was expecting that I would have to stay in your stomach for over 100 years.

And your stomach was the best place I have ever been. I was able to learn so much from this manga and anime you have in your memories. I have truly unlocked my potential as a dragon now. And now you have even become a true Demon Lord. You have grown too fast!"

"Ah, yes, I guess I am. By the time we met, I could only throw water blades. Now I have my own city, and by the rate it is going I might have to start calling it a country pretty soon."

"But you! Do you know how worried I got when I saw you start giving out names willy nilly? If it wasn't because you were using me as a battery you probably would have died! Ah, but I guess if it wasn't for that you might not have grown strong. Wait, no, you probably could have. You could just go on an eating spree. But you know what, it's all good if there is one thing I learned from all the knowledge I obtained while in your stomach is that above all else it is Bros before Magicules."

"Ha, so you are talking about all the magicules I 'Borrowed' but what is this about learning from manga and anime. Could it be that the Venerable Storm Dragon was lazing around?"

"Um- well- you see- all of it was important research. Yup, absolutely. I- I needed to learn about all of it to bring different viewpoints to the problem of analyzing the prison. That is definitely the only reason."

"Bwuahahahhahahahaha" I let out a loud laugh. This guy really made the mood happier

"Bwuhahahahahahahaha. It is good to be free once again."

"Do you want to head out? Your dragon body is a bit big so wanna try out something more humanoid?" I said, creating a clone of myself for him to use.

"Very well then. Be prepared to see greatness."

With that, I assisted Veldora with joining with my clone.

[Report. After consuming the remains of Veldora and analyzing him, in addition to the creation of a soul corridor with the individual a new ultimate skill has been acquired. Veldora, Lord of the Storm. It has the following sub-skills.

Storm Dragon Summon: Storm Dragon Summon calls forth Veldora in dragon form. Only one Storm Dragon Summon can exist at a time. When the Skill is used when a Storm Dragon Summon is already ongoing, then the old one will be immediately unsummoned first.

Storm Dragon Restoration: Stores the memories of Veldora Tempest in the user's soul and mind. As long as the user remains alive, Veldora Tempest is practically immortal. Since his memories are safely stored, then as long as the user remains alive, Veldora's death will no longer cause Veldora's personality to change.

Storm Dragon Magic Archive: The ability to use Death-Calling Wind, Black Lightning, and Storm of Destruction.

Bros Teamwork: As long as you are together with your bro working on a goal, the quality and progress of the project will increase.

In addition, using the unique skill Unlimited Imprisonment as a base, and with the support of all of the skills obtained through food chain, the Ultimate skill Uriel, Lord of Vows has been created. It has also consumed the skill Severer and enhanced with the use of Spatial Domination to create Absolute Severance. It has the following sub-skills.

Unlimited Imprisonment: Entombs the target in a complex number of spatial dimensions.

Law Manipulation: Black Fire and Thunder. Total magical control. Total control of the properties of heat and inertia. The ability to freely store and remove heat from the Stomach. It is also capable of altering reality. Rimuru's version of this ability also allows him to use the skills he obtained via Food Chain.

Absolute Defense: Provides absolute defense with a multilayer barrier and the severing of space between both sides.

Absolute Severance: Damages and overwhelms the target via the severing of space.

Spatial Domination: A movement ability, allowing the user to freely switch between spaces for which they are aware of the coordinates.]

At that very moment I heard a sound coming in the direction of Veldora.

"Wryyyyyyyyyyyyy."

There he was, blonde hair and tanned skin color, with a masculine face and showing off his muscles. He was currently leaning back with his arms at his side. Almost as if he was about to play limbo.

"Dude, if you keep on going with the Jojo references you are going to run out by tomorrow."

"Bwuhahaha. What do you think, do I look ready to enter your city?"

"Not yet, if you go out like that you will probably kill most people in the city with your aura alone. You gotta learn how to hide it. And hey, think of it this way, you are fighting with someone and you pull out the 'This isn't even my final form' And release your aura. And if even then they are still not defeated you get to pull the final form card once again and turn into a dragon."

"Oh, I like how you think. With that, I can make any of my battles legendary. Just you wait, I bet my sisters will be shocked. They have always thought that I am a bit uncontrolled. Once they see me with not an ounce of aura leaking I am sure they will faint from the shock."

Thanks to the use of Bros Teamwork it wasn't long before he was able to control his aura to a good enough degree to be able to leave outside.

"Tell me, do you prefer a necklace, a bracelet, a ring, or something else. I have something that will be able to help you get a better hold of the magicules and prevent the strain from holding back your aura."

"Oh? I guess a necklace would be fine"

Creating the very first to what would be a new best selling item on Tempest I created a necklace that had a dragon claw holding a blue orb. The secret to this necklace was that the orb contained a very small Clone of mine which would be able to absorb the magicules released by Veldora and give them to me. Since the whole function of the clones was basically to just create a bridge between the wearer and me it didn't really cause any strain on either Rapahel's processing power or in my own Magicule count.

My plan was to give this to the strongest people in my city for the upcoming wars. After all, any death benefited me now as long as I was nearby. And even if it is just a clone it still constitutes as me being nearby. With that, every fight would benefit me directly even if I was on the other side of the planet.

…

Arriving at Tempest I could see that the people had already awoken and it looked like they were awaiting my return. Once they spotted me they all faced my direction. With Benimaru stepping forward he spoke for the crowd.

"Lord Rimuru, with your success in the fight against Falmtuh and your revolution into a Demon Lord we have also grown stronger. From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank you for allowing us to follow you and for allowing us to be part of this great city."

The whole city as far as I could see with my eyes knelt down at the same time and bowed their heads. It was a really moving scene. To see all of these people giving their most sincere thanks. I had truly grown fond of them. I could feel their devotion and loyalty through Uriel and it felt like a warm blanket on a cold day. Extremely comforting. I had to make sure that they will stay safe even if I am not there to protect them.

"Alright everyone, stand up!" I said with a bright smile. "I want you all to remember to treat even those who come from outside our cities as equals as our city will grow soon and many people from different nations will become regulars in our city. Look at everyone around you. They are all people from this city who originally came from different locations. You might even have been enemies. But now we are all members of the same nation. And for that reason we all need to grow stronger to protect them.

The fight is not over yet. The army may have been defeated but the kingdom of Falmuth still stands ready to attack us if we get carried away now by calling out to other countries for support. We do not need to destroy it as most of its citizens are innocent with no say in this fight. However if we truly want to be the winners of this fight we have to make sure that Falmuth will no longer stand against us, but rather that they are defeated and taken under our control.

And even after defeating Falmuth there are still many who will attack us in the future. So until we finish this fight we have to be prepared. But once we are done, let the whole city celebrate. To Tempest!"

"To Tempest!" the crowd shouted.

Standing to the side of Rimuru, Veldora had a smile on his face.

'Who would have thought that the small slime I had met that day would grow so much…'
