Lucifer in his human form could be seen standing at the entrance of the village waiting for something.
'Where is this guy?'
He seemed to be waiting for Rimuru's arrival, he had nothing else to do, so he decided to wait for them at the entrance.
On a side note, goblins from other villages started to join their village because of the rumors, the rumors seemed to have entailed that a goblin village had two rulers who were powerful that could take care of them, so they came to join.
Since tons of goblins came, Lucifer decided to name them himself, since Rimuru wasn't here.
But over these past few days, while Rimuru has been gone, he has been training and killing mindless monsters who are strong,
He was gifted an Ultimate Skill and a weapon by the [Voice of The World].
It was as if the World Favored him and wanted to assist in his success.
The weapon he received was the dual Hellsing pistols from Hellsing which used to be Alucard's, and the Ultimate Skill he received was called Execution King.
'It seems I have some sort of blessing from the world, I feel like Sinbad from Magi.'
'I also can't believe my first ultimate skill is this powerful, in the original, Kondou had it and then he gave it to Carrera, her strength increased dramatically. This Ultimate Skill has the power to hurt a True Dragon, I imagine if I became stronger It's potential would increase because of the potency of the Magicules.'
The Ultimate Skill called Execution King had the ability to allow you to change the effect of your weapon and it also had multiple weapon sub-skills that could be used to bypass barriers, etc.
'The pistols are just as amazing because I can shoot Magicule bullets instantly and control what type of bullets I want to shoot, I also wouldn't have to reload because I'm using Magicules. But I gotta say, Alucard had some nice pistols, I can't wait till I get the chance to actually use them in battle. '
Lucifer had been training his gun skills once he received the pistols and he realized he has gotten significantly more skilled compared to his old life. He could shoot as far as 300 meters with his heightened senses, probably further.
The distance won't decrease the damage either since the bullets are made up of Magicules.
So as long as he has the Magicules to empower them, then there is nothing to worry about.
'I thought Ultimate Skills were the peak of power that was supposed to evolve from a unique skill but I got it off the get-go. I guess I have the world to thank for that but I can't become too reliant on the [Voice of The World], I still have to train hard just in case I ever lose it's blessing.' Lucifer thought.
Lucifer looked in a particular direction and had a small smile on his face.
Rimuru and the others had arrived, they noticed Lucifer and walked up to greet him.
"Yo Lucifer, come say hi to our new artisans." Rimuru greeted.
"Oh yeah sure." Lucifer responded.
Lucifer greeted the dwarves named, Kaijin, Garm, Dord, Myrd and also greeted the goblins who left with Rimuru.
The dwarfs were pretty short and stubby, they all had light brown skin and were a little over 5 feet tall.
Each dwarf had their own specialties which would be very useful for the growth of the village.
"Well if you will excuse us, us four will start to set up our equipment."
Once the dwarves greeted Lucifer, they left to start setting up their workshops in order to prepare to teach the other goblins.
Rimuru and Lucifer nodded their heads.
Once the dwarves and goblins have left, Rimuru and Lucifer started to talk.
"You missed out on literal elf babes, ELF BABES!." Rimuru smirked, wanting to rub it in his face.
"Yeah whatever, I wanted to tell you that in the near future, I'm planning on going on a little journey." Lucifer ignored Rimuru's smugness and told him his plan.
Rimuru got a little annoyed because of his nonchalance about THE elf babes but got serious since Lucifer also seemed serious.
"Huh? Why?" Rimuru confusedly questioned.
"I just wanna get some battle experience and some money. Don't worry, it won't be for long, maybe a couple of months." Lucifer seemed to not want to explain his reasoning.
"Alright, but let me know before you leave so I can say goodbye." Rimuru reluctantly agreed.
"Yeah gotcha."
(Few Weeks Later)
The village had to expand in order to accommodate the new goblins,
Fields of agriculture could be seen, they seemed to have cut down the trees in order to expand.
Everybody was busy doing something, even Gobta the jokester was teaching other goblins how to summon their dire wolf.
Rimuru, and Lucifer in his human form could be seen taking a stroll around the village.
"The village has expanded rapidly, I can't wait until we can modernize it!!" Rimuru was excited because of how fast the village was evolving.
"Yeah, It'll be interesting." Lucifer wasn't as surprised because he knew that in the future, soon-to-be Tempest will be the most powerful nation in terms of power and wealth.
Rimuru at this point got used to Lucifer's nonchalance, sometimes Lucifer will act mischievous and other times he will just have an "I don't care" attitude.
"LORD RIMURUUUU, LORD LUCIFERRRR!!" Rigur the village chief rushed over to their positions.
"Is there something wrong Rigur?" Rimuru asked curiously.
"Yes there seemed to be some humans nearby being attacked by monsters and we are unsure of what to do." Rigur explained.
"Oh! I'll handle it then!" Rimuru seemed excited because this would be his first time meeting humans in this world.
"Wanna come Lucifer?" Rimuru questioned.
"I'll just come to watch, I'm pretty sure you'll be enough to deal with it." Lucifer seemed to have the opposite reaction of Rimuru.
"Oh, I guess that's cool."
Rimuru and Lucifer then walked in the direction where Rigur pointed.
They eventually noticed a group of four humans fighting multiple large-sized ants who were bigger than them.
One seemed to stand out from the rest, she had a mask on and was slashing through all of them with her sword.
She also incorporated fire with her sword and shot out a large stream of fire up to 20 meters large which was supposed to end the fight but there seemed to be one more left.
She turned around and was about to finish it off but suddenly collapsed on one knee.
The ant saw this as a chance to attack and immediately went in for the kill but was interrupted as something blew its head off.
Her mask was blown off because of the recoil of the explosion.
"Bullseye." A voice said.
'Fast!!'
The girl barely saw it, but at the last second saw a projectile blow up on impact as soon as it hit the ant's head.
The girl followed the voice of the perpetrator of the attack and could see a beautiful person, with dark purple hair, golden eyes, androgynous body, 6 feet tall in some sort of military outfit holding a silver pistol and aiming at the previous location of the ant's head.
Next to the person, she could see a slime which greatly confused her but she wanted to say thank you to her saviors regardless.
'I need to tell them thank you, I almost lost control but barely pushed back Ifrit, it seems my time is coming to an end.' She inwardly sighed but got up nonetheless.
"SHIZUE!! Are you okay!?"
"Yeah, what happened?!"
"Yeah, at one point you were beating all their asses and just randomly collapsed!"
Her companions seemed to have rushed to her aid to see if there were any injuries on her but she seemed fine.
"Yeah I'm fine, thank you for worrying though."
Shizue replied, standing up and smiling at her newfound companions.
Her friends seemed startled because this was the first time they have seen her face.
"Shizue! Your beautiful!!" The other girl in their group exclaimed.
Shizue chuckled and thanked her.
After telling everyone she was okay, she immediately ran up to her saviors and bowed down saying thank you.
"Thank you so much!! If you guys weren't there I would have definitely died."
Silence.
Shizue, confused at the silence, looked up, and could see the dark purpled hair person having a staring contest with the slime?
'YOU TOOK MY THUNDER!!' Rimuru exclaimed telepathically.
He was about to use his black lighting skill to save and impress the girl but Lucifer beat him to it.
'Ya snooze, ya lose.' Lucifer snickered.
'Mhm. F U! She was literally supposed to be my destiny, or that's what the elven girl in Dwargon told me with her fortune teller capabilities.' Rimuru retorted.
'Ok Ok, How about picking up her mask and handing it to her like a gentleman?' Lucifer gave Rimuru another idea because he didn't wanna be an L wingman.
'Yeah yeah, whatever.' Rimuru reluctantly agreed and picked up the mask with his slime hands.
"We didn't mean to ignore you, we just got sidetracked but here's your mask." Rimuru handed over the mask back to Shizue.
"Ah, thank you again!!" Shizue exclaimed.
"No problem."
"No problem."
Lucifer and Rimuru seemed to have replied at the same time, once they did, they were just staring at each other weirdly.
Ignoring that, Rimuru and Lucifer then greeted the other adventurers that came with the girl with the mask.
The adventurers seemed to be stunned by Lucifer's beauty, they couldn't tell if he was a lady or man but even the boys seemed to have found Lucifer's beauty breathtaking.
They eventually stopped staring at him because they could tell they were being weird.
The girl with the mask that seemed to be Shizue, had long black hair, gray eyes with a very toned body, balanced in every spot.
Even Lucifer couldn't help but whistle in admiration, the anime definitely did her justice.
Rimuru was also looking but no one could tell since slimes didn't have eyes.
Shizue noticed Lucifer's gaze and her face was slowly turning red.
"Ah my bad for staring so long, you are a very beautiful woman Shizue." Lucifer remarked.
"See!! Even he knows it!" The other girl in their team exclaimed.
Her name seemed to be Eren, she had long blond hair and green eyes, she also had a beautiful body but if Lucifer were to be honest she couldn't be compared to Shizue, Rimuru seemed to have been thinking the same thing as Lucifer without knowing.
Shizue also thanked Lucifer for the compliment embarrassingly.
Rimuru could be seen glaring at Lucifer with his non-existent eyes staying silent, no one knew what he was doing other than Lucifer.
Lucifer eventually stopped flirting with Shizue because he wasn't tryna go overboard with it, he also noticed that Rimuru has no game, he promised himself that he was gonna teach Rimuru how to bag all the ladies with ease in the near future.
The other two men in the group started to greet themselves in order to deal with the awkward situation.
One was named Kaval, he had sandy brown hair that went to his neck with brown eyes.
The other one was named Gido, he had short brown hair and brown eyes.
"Ah nice to meet you all, why don't you guys stop by our village since you have nowhere to sleep for the night."
Rimuru eventually stopped being mad at Lucifer and offered them a place to sleep and eat for the night.
"Ah really?! We'd really appreciate that!"
The team of adventurers seemed to have accepted the offer easily because they knew how dangerous it is to camp out in the forest full of monsters.
They soon started to walk back to the village with Rimuru and Lucifer leading them.
Let me know yall thoughts!! :)
