Vampire and slime back in time [Indefinite Hiatus] [Rimuru X Luminous]

CH 9 | On the edge of emotions

A.N/ so.... sorry for being late?

School started, and [Lord of Procrastination: M] is working hard, soooo..... I will try to upload more (that's a nice fucking lie). btw, some brackets changed like Great sage changing into 《Anything in between those》but for some reason have weird spaces before/after them that I can't remove.

Oh, one more thing. It's about Luminous and how she's crying and being hella out of character, and for that, I have two reasons.

In story (bullshit) reason: Because of what's happening she's under a lot of stress, yada yada, I talked about before.

Meta (actual) reason: Am free writing everything, so I forget her characteristics and jammed in crying for drama/wholesome. And honestly, I don't give a broken damn about staying very consistent and/or accurate to original, or heck! I won't try to do my all about making it good! Since it's just a fanfic, so meh.

Btw, low-key flex, if you're finding my writing to be good, then just know that this isn't even the bare minimum of what I can make!

~Rimuru~

Rimuru: "Move!! To the right!" I used all my mental power to move the magicules to induce the loudest voice I could.

Luminous seemed to snap back, as she instantly jumped, but, as soon as we exited the entrance to the chasm the serpent was laying in, it shot itself at us.

'Shit! We can't avoid it!...' Or so I thought.

The snake didn't shoot itself toward us but above us, at the edge of the wall and ceiling of the cave way we were in.

Luminous: "It... Was a trap! How can any feral monster be smart enough to create traps?!"

The snake, getting up after crashing the whole entrance, looked at us, and then, I was finally able to take a good look at it.

It had glossy black scales stroked with deep purple under its eyes, stretching and fracturing not unlike a striking thunder, which continued to around the middle of its body. Its eyes were gloriously shimmering as if they were overcharged with an unimaginable amount of energy.

It opened its mouth, prepared to attack, revealing two sets of fangs so refined that I could see my -and Luminous'- reflection despite the distance and darkness.

Suddenly, the entire cavern shone ominously with dark violet rays as the serpent turned into thunder before charging at us. 

'What-!' I then suddenly felt a strong, explosive force between me and Luminous, throwing us in opposite directions. Its attack, which missed us by a hair's width, hit the ground, generating a huge smoke screen.

It was too fast for either me or Luminous to react to the serpent's charge, but, it was only like that for me and Lumiouns, but we weren't the only ones present.

 《Master, I completed the analysis! This isn't a normal『Tempest Serpent』, but a mutant with extreme thunder capabilities. Its power is around special A or Calamity class》(do you now get why chapter 8 has the name it has?)

'Ah, then how can we deal with it? and also, thank you for saving us earlier'

《Since it mainly relies on thunder, any wind-based attack or defense won't be able to stop it, but will still damage it if it connected directly with the snake》
