Tensura: The Abyss Demon

Chapter 32

Rimuru's POV:

Eons have passed by since the battle with Ivarage. The world had already healed from the destruction caused by its rampage.

During that time, many developments had occurred. The most notable being the fight between the Frost dragon, Velzard and Guy. Apparently, she attacked Guy out of jealousy for his interaction with her brother, Velda. Their battle lasted for three days and nights but later on ended in a draw. It was so intense that planet was shifted off its axis, causing natural disasters that humanity had to endure.

The after effects of their battle turned Guy's continent into a frozen wasteland where no one could live.

And during the fight, Guy's power evolved further, granting him the Ultimate skill [Lord of Pride Lucifer].

How do I know? Guy made sure to boast about it when he concluded his fight with Velzard. He wouldn't let me live in peace, he kept asking to spar with me, saying this time he would no doubt beat me. I felt inclined to believe him, because after the battle Guy's aura was different. He definitely grew after that fight and had probably learnt something new for him to be so confident.

Intrigued by Guy, Velzard decided to observe him from that day forward.
Her aura permeates in the north, forever keeping the continent as a frozen wasteland no one would ever dare to set foot on.

I, on ther other hand went back to hell to straighten things out with my subordinates. I didn't want them to keep causing havoc in my name.
It wasn't difficult to convince them, but all that's left is to hope that there weren't people dumb enough to summon them.

On another note, Amon, Baphomet, Testarossa and other demoness girls were quite shocked and somewhat delighted that I had obtained a name and evolved.
As a way to celebrate, they had mock battles with me in which they lost spectacularly. They didn't last long, it was a given since now my strength was enough to go toe to toe with a True dragon. All I can say is that I benefited greatly during the fight with Ivarage.

Many Millennia after that, Veldanava dropped a bomb shell on me.
A cryptid born from Ivarage's magicules possessed intelligence.
This discovery elated Veldanava, who proceeded to take the cryptid under his wing and name it, Zelanus.

Zelanus began to subjugate his cryptid siblings who ran wild unchecked within the Otherworld alongside Feldway and three other angels of origin who were placed under Feldway's command, setting up base inside of the Otherworld in order to keep watch over Ivarage's seal.

Since then nothing of note has happened. I mostly spend my days in my territory living the life of the royalty that I am.

Majority of the time, I would be with Veldora, who would summon me to have mock battle or to simply browse my memory to read manga or as he likes to call them 'sacred texts'.

I trained with Veldora alot, both of us were learning from each other as time flew past. Veldora truly deserves the title of genius. He has perfected his fighting style, the Veldora-style killing arts. I wouldn't admit it in his face, but I consider Veldora the best martial artist in the world.

Drawing inspiration from manga as well as the martial techniques he learned whenever we explored human civilizations, all those were integrated into his killing arts.

According to Veldora, his Veldora-style killing art, comprises of over two thousand techniques and he keeps developing new techniques anytime he gets a burst of inspiration.

I myself am a great martial artist, I also create techniques anytime I gain inspiration or learn from my experiences. But I still think the title of greatest and strongest martial artist should go to Veldora. Too bad he'll never know. If I told him that he's ego may just burst from overinflation.
