"Enough with the two of you!" Hakurou yelled at both Asriel and Souei

Asriel eventually started to calm down bit by bit, until he turned back to normal, as he would also faint. The Aura then disappeared as well, along with the sword, and Asriel's unconscious body fell on Shion. As they were sure the Prince was no longer moving, they all let their guard down, as Shion carried Asriel's body

"Hm, how strange" Souei said, which left the others a bit confused

"Huh? What do you mean?" Rimuru asked, looking directly at Souei

"It seems like his power has all ran out, which is odd because earlier when I saw him, the amount of Magicules on his body was off the charts. But now, it's a very small amount" Souei explained to the rest of the group as he walked towards the Tree his blade stabbed into

And with that, the group retreated back to the Town, where for the time being, held Asriel as a  guest, despite his- actions. As they arrived at a Tent, Shion placed Asriel's body on a mat, as Rimuru summoned a ball of the Healing Potions he can create, but before they could throw it at Asriel, they were stopped by Benimaru

"Lord Rimuru, I'm not questioning you, however are you sure it's wise to use a potion of that caliber for a person who nearly killed Souei?" Benimaru asked, a bit worried that a fight may break out, whether they won or lost that fight, casualties will undoubtedly be present

"Don't worry, I managed to somewhat read his aura earlier, and that act was simply for self defense" Rimuru replied back to Benimaru, and threw the potion on Asriel's face

Seconds later, Asriel gasped and bolted upwards to a sitting position and turned his attention towards Rimuru and the others, and mostly, Souei

"Ah! I'm sorry for what I did! I-It's just that I thought you were gonna kill me, th-that's all!" Asriel said in a rush, as he was both scared and confused at the same time

Not the best feelings to have when apologizing, but he was eventually reassured by Rimuru

"Don't worry, we know. It was just a test we conducted so I could read your aura, but since you weren't emitting the large scale aura you did earlier, we needed to find a way to bring it out again, thus that test" Rimuru explained it well to Asriel, hoping he would understand

"A-aura? What do you mean?" Asriel asked Rimuru, still confused

"Well, I guess I'll just have to explain everything I know about this World to you. It's only right to avoid too many questions" Rimuru said, but something tells them they won't enjoy it

About 2 hours of explaining passed, and Asriel has come to understand what's happening. This isn't the Afterlife, it's an Alternate World far different from his, and those things he encountered earlier were Orcs, on their way to attack the Lizardmen, another race of Monsters. It was also during this time when Asriel told them all who he was, and everyone did the same. Shuna, nonetheless, was somewhat happy

"Alright, so I guess that settles the introductions. So, uh... what was your name again? Your name is Asriel, right?" Rimuru, after asking this, would soon make this Monster, into something more powerful

As Rimuru said the phrase "Your name is Asriel", they would immediately faint, and enter sleep mode, he unknowingly named Asriel... Asriel, because in the World he was reincarnated to, he was technically nameless, so Rimuru saying the phrase, gave him one, and as his name was given, Asriel's body glowed yellow for a few seconds and then back to normal

"Lord Rimuru!" Shion rushed towards Rimuru's slime body and then carried it

(Hmm.. Lord Rimuru fainted just by naming him. Just how strong is this guy?) Benimaru thought, starting to consider trying to kill Asriel, because in his mind, if he were to become a foe, they would have an extremely difficult time fighting him, let alone defeat him

With that said, Hakurou couldn't help but look at Asriel. Before he was named, he was already immensely powerful, but now, with a Name, and probably an incoming evolution as well. Just how much stronger can he get?
