The Reincarnations of Veldanava

Raphael and Beelzebuth

Shub-Niggurath, Rimuru's new Ultimate skill, had a Sub-skill that could give his skills to his subordinates.

For now it was only limited to those who shared a Soul Corridor with him. But Raphael said she would find a way to give skills even to those outside of his connection.

"Let's start with Benimaru-kun."

The young oni was the first one chosen, walking up the stage with a serious face. "Great Rimuru, please don't use 'kun' in front of the citizens..." Benimaru whispered.

"What's the problem?"

Benimaru sighed. He was Tempest's Supreme General and had a reputation to maintain, but it wasn't easy to create an intimidating presence when his lord kept calling him 'Beni' or 'Beni-kun' in front of everyone.

However, Rimuru didn't think a fearsome image was essential. After all, Benimaru was already a well-respected man and popular among women.

"From your strategy to your contribution in catching the Saints, I will reward you with this skill." Rimuru placed his hand on Benimaru's head.

Raphael was doing her duty in the background, using Sub-skill 'Skill Gifting' to transfer Unique skill 'Spearhead' into Benimaru's soul.

His skill as a leader was excellent. Now with Unique skill 'Commander' to bring out others' potential and 'Spearhead' to perfectly command those under him, Benimaru became an ideal general.

"Please continue to be our reliable general, Beni-kun."

"Understood. I will never disappoint you again."

"Also, isn't your weapon destroyed in the fight?"

His victory over Razul was admirable, but in the process it broke his sword. "Kurobe said he'll make a new one for me. You need not to be concerned, Great Rimuru."

From Raphael, Rimuru knew that the Gift Kurobe got was Unique skill 'Craftsman.' The weapon he made after this would have a jump in quality, and he wanted the first weapon done with this skill's assistance to be Benimaru's new sword.

"Next is Souei." The blue-haired oni suddenly appeared in front of Rimuru. It seemed that his Extra skill 'Shadow Motion' had evolved into the better 'Spatial Motion.'

«There's no Unique skill compatible with the individual "Souei."»

'Eh? But I've already called him up here.'

Unique skills, even just one of them, weighed much on one's soul. Rimuru could hold a dozen of them at the same time because he owned three souls, with one of them being a soul of god.

But for others, holding many Unique skills was a big deal. If one had to hold onto an incompatible Unique skill, it would be a hassle more than anything. 'What should I do then?'

"Great Rimuru?" Seeing his lord with such a serious face, Souei called.

"How should I put it? I don't have a skill that will suit you..." Rimuru didn't dare to look Souei in the eyes. "You're not mad, right?"

The man chuckled. How could he be mad at his lord who gave him everything? "I won't dare to. It's fine if I don't get one. After all, I've already acquired Unique skill 'Shadow Striker' from the Gift."

"Even if you say that, I still want to give you something."

"I do have a request."

"Say it then!" Rimuru smiled, awaiting the oni's request.

Souei said he had an "unfinished business" with a Saint named Litus, so he wanted Rimuru's permission to bring her out of jail to "interrogate" her.
