Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Veldora's Dark History

After laughing for a while, Veldora's gaze landed on Draco.

"How did you two appear here?"

"Wait a moment, I'll open his eyes first."

After saying that, Draco dropped the monster corpses he had collected along the way onto the Slime.

The Slime subconsciously devoured them.

Because of the analysis and appraisal from the skill 'Predator', he obtained the Vampire Bat's skill 'Ultrasound' and the Black Water Python's 'Heat Source Sensing'.

With the help of the 'Great Sage', the Slime gained sight and hearing, along with a bunch of other skills.

"E-ya... oh... ya-yo..."

After a period of adaptation and practice, the Slime was finally able to speak properly.

"Oh my~ where is this?"

The Slime asked in a youthful voice, looking around with a curious expression on his face.

"What is this thing?"

"A GIANT DRAGON!!!"

The Slime was frightened by the Storm Dragon Veldora in front of him.

"Waaahhhh~~~"

"Don't be afraid, this guy can't get out."

Draco poked the Slime's body curiously as he spoke.

It was springy and quite fun to play with.

The Slime stared at Draco in surprise, "A human? You're a human?"

"Uh..."

Draco was silent for a second before saying, "It's not right to call people names!"

Realizing he seemed to have said something wrong, the Slime quickly covered his mouth.

"Sorry, I didn't mean it that way."

"It's fine. I have plenty of other gifts here, I'll give them all to you."

As he spoke, Draco threw out another pile of monster corpses, which weighed down on the Slime like a small mountain.

The Slime's tiny body was instantly buried.

This definitely wasn't revenge; it was just giving gifts.

"Don't you two know each other?"

Veldora looked at Draco in confusion.

"We do, but we also don't."

"Today counts as our first meeting."

Veldora frowned, "Then why did you appear here?"

"A chance encounter, pure coincidence."

Draco shrugged and casually made up some nonsense.

As for the real situation...

Draco didn't say it out loud.

"Then this coincidence is quite miraculous."

Draco waved his hand. "Oh, it's no big deal."

By this time, the Slime had finished swallowing those corpses, and the Magical Essence in its body had received a massive boost.

Furthermore, it had analyzed a large number of skills from the corpses of the monsters.

It had to be said, Great Sage was truly useful.

"By the way, where is this?" the Slime asked curiously.

"This is the Sealed Cave."

"Sealed Cave?"

"Is it because something is sealed here?"

The Slime asked instinctively.

"Yeah, because a certain silly dragon did something, which led to someone sealing him here."

Hearing Draco's answer, Veldora's expression became odd; or rather, it seemed like he was blushing.

Veldora: "That matter..."

"Alright, alright."

Draco waved his hand; he knew Veldora wanted to explain. After all, anyone would find such a thing embarrassing.

"Because this guy was too powerful, he was sealed here."

Veldora nodded. "Mhm... indeed, very powerful."

"I... I see."

The Slime wasn't stupid and naturally figured out the whole story quickly.

"Cough, forget it, I might as well tell you."

Although Veldora felt a bit embarrassed, he wouldn't deny what he had done in the past.

For example, the battle with the Hero.

Three hundred years ago, for some reason, Veldora destroyed a city.

According to him.

Veldora was the possessor of the unique skill 'Investigator'.

This skill allowed him to read all the records and events in this world.

And Veldora, who possessed 'Investigator', was particularly interested in the development of human civilization.

To him, human civilization had a fatal attraction, making him want to get closer and study it thoroughly.

Finally, one day, Veldora was deeply attracted by all this beauty, so he moved a tiny bit closer to a human city.

He thought this tiny bit of closeness would be greatly welcomed in the human city; his confidence was outrageously high.

Veldora had no self-awareness regarding this.

Even now, he felt that he had mingled with the humans back then, happily holding a festival together!

However, while he thought he was playing, in the eyes of humans, it was... 'Roar—!!!'

'Boom!!!'

...'So happy!'

The happy scenes from that time surfaced in his mind, and he became immersed in them.

"After a few days, for some reason, I was sealed up."

"..."

Draco and the Slime now had faces full of black lines.

You're something else!

Afterward, Veldora recounted the great battle with the Hero.

It was a petite woman wearing a mask.

She had long black-silver hair tied in a braid.

She wielded the special skills 'Absolute Severance' and 'Infinite Prison'.

The cross-shaped scar on Veldora's chest was cut by the Hero's 'Absolute Severance'.

And the barrier currently trapping him was the Hero's special skill, 'Infinite Prison'.

However, according to Veldora, although he destroyed the city, he didn't harm the humans.

As for why he was sealed... Draco knew it was because this silly dragon had blown away the Night Rose Palace thousands of years ago.

The Hero's identity was Chloe, but at that time, the one controlling Chloe's body was Hinata Sakaguchi.

The Night Rose Palace was the former Demon King palace of Demon King Luminus.

The materials used to build that palace were all precious materials that only existed in the early stages of the world.

It was a unique, non-renewable material.

As a result, it was blown away by this silly dragon.

Luminus had always held a grudge about this.

Hinata Sakaguchi, who had always been by her side, naturally knew about this.

Thus, after Hinata Sakaguchi and Chloe traveled back two thousand years together, they sealed this silly dragon along the way.

Karma is a cycle; heaven spares no one... "I see."

"Although I'm not sure how others feel, I don't think you're a bad dragon."

"R-really?"

The Slime's words made Veldora look extremely happy.

"My name is Veldora. Little guy, what's yours?"

"Wait, looking at you just now, you should be a newborn monster and don't have a name yet."

"I shall give you a name, and you give one to me as well."
