After Veldora was brought under Michael's control, who used his Domination Bullet, Rimuru found himself in a challenging 2v1 battle against Veldora and Velgrynd. Overwhelmed by their combined strength, Rimuru, despite his formidable abilities, faced...
Veldora (human): Anyway, I'll be coming here once in a while to speak to you.
Veldora (dragon): Don't keep me waiting too long.
Veldora (human): I won't. You are me, after all, and I am you.
Veldora (dragon): But before you go, what will your new name be?
Veldora (human): Hmm, Vel? No. Luffy? No. Goku? No. Naruto? No. Lukuto? Yes, that sounds awesome. I'll be called Lukuto from now on.
Veldora (dragon): (eyes sparkling) That is awesome! Your family name should be Yuichigo.
Veldora (human): Lukuto Yuichigo. That's my new name! KUHAHAHAHAHA!
Veldora (dragon): KUHAHAHAHAHA!
Veldora (human): I'll be going now.
Veldora (dragon): Have fun, and make sure you come back to tell me cool stories.
Veldora (human): Sure, buddy.

With that, Veldora, now known as Lukuto, left the cave where his dragon form was sealed. Stretching his newly made human body, he marveled at the new sensations. Being fully human now meant he had to use the bathroom, something he never had to do before, and also drink and eat to survive. It was all a new experience for him.
Veldora left the Jura Forest, pondering what he should do as a human. He thought of many things: becoming an adventurer again or even a hero of justice. As he walked and thought, he came across a man who seemed to be in his thirties, lying on the ground, drunk. Veldora looked at him for a moment but decided to leave him there and walk away. However, as he did, the drunk man grabbed his leg, stopping Veldora's movement.
Drunk Man: Hey... don't leave me here... help me up, will ya?
Veldora (Lukuto): (sighs) Fine. Hold on.
Veldora helped the man to his feet, steadying him as the man swayed.
Drunk Man: Thanks, buddy. What's your name?
Veldora (Lukuto): Name's Lukuto. What's yours?
Drunk Man: (slurring) I'm Balthazar. Nice to meet ya. So, what brings you out here?
Veldora (Lukuto): Just exploring. Trying to figure out what to do with myself.
Balthazar: (grinning) Well, Lukuto, if you're looking for adventure, there's plenty to be found around here. Maybe I can show you a few places. But first, how about we get a drink?
Veldora (Lukuto): You want to get another drink?
Balthazar: Indeed, I'm not drunk enough.
Veldora (Lukuto): Alright, lead the way.
Balthazar: (stumbling slightly) This way, my friend. There's a tavern just up the road.
As they walked towards the tavern, Balthazar shared stories of the area, talking about hidden treasures, dangerous creatures, and mysterious ruins.
