Tensura: The Faraway Past

Back to the Past

(A/N: Before the chapter starts. Just note as events, including these current past events will be altered and expanded upon in different ways.)

Rimuru POV:

Feeling... a tad bit drowsy. Thought I may have lost that function entirely. But I guess thanks to Ciel its all possible as usual with her around.

My eyes began to open as I notice the fairly damp and dark surroundings.

'Looks like I'm in a cave once again. Reminds of me of back then.' I thought to myself while simultaneously letting out a light chuckle, a minor smirk formed on my face as I remembered all the way back then. Roaming a cave all blind for weeks and even months as a supposedly helpless slime creature.

However, the flow and density of magicules within this select area was quite low. Sure there were magic crystals and ore formed on the walls, but not nearly as much as the sealed cave. Guess thats the perk of having a True Dragon within the area.

"Kuhahaha! Look whos awake now!" Speaking of True Dragons. A similar haughty voice was heard from above me as I continued to lay there.

"Oh, Veldora." I said casually.

"Why sound so unenthusiastic about it?" He seemed to question my speech.

"No idea what you mean." I redirected my gaze as I feigned ignorance to his question.

"Alright then little brother." I had nearly forgotten all that. Technically I am a nonetheless an actual True Dragon like him now. Meaning he quite literally can call me his little brother.

'Ugh, being called Little Brother by Veldora may end up annoying and irritating. But... this is the past after all. So I will live as one of their siblings now. May as well get used to it.' I shrugged my shoulders as I resigned to my fate, figuring it may be a little fun this time around.

I then sat upwards and immediately looked around for any sign of Guy or Diablo. They were very clearly missing at the moment.

{Due to Space-Time Warp, we had to merge the individuals Veldora, Diablo and Guy Crimson. At the moment, we are roughly 200 years before Veldora initially spawns and 100 years before Guy makes his debut by destroying the two rival countries. Once Veldora and Rimuru-sama reaches the point where they should have initially spawned, they will be assimilated and replaced by the current versions.}

Ciel had explained to me. Apparently we are roughly 200 years before Veldora should spawn naturally. But still 200 years before Guy becomes an Awakened Demon Lord. But regardless... still a few thousand years before I actually come into play. It's gonna be a long while. Therefore Tempest wont exist for awhile.

I immediately slumped back down, my back hitting against the hard surface of the cave causing a little dust and debris to scatter.

"Hm? Something wrong little brother?" Veldora said as he looked down on me from above. Its still fairly annoying, but guess I will need to get used to it.

A wry smirk formed on my face as I thought of this.

"Nothing, other than it's a long way before Tempest will be formed. So I am gonna have to patient." I sat up and leaned against the wall of the cave.

Veldora simply watched with his hands on his hips since I was standing up from the ground and stretched my arms upwards.

However, as I stood up I received another notification from Ciel.

{Master should note, due to the previous acquisition of Velzard and Velgrynds Dragon Factors, a complete restoration of them is possible should master encounter them.}
