Perfected Tempest

44. Choosing My Escorts

Ikta- "You just want to tell stories to the residents again. Captain I hope we get some time off after this."

Noble- "We will Ikta don't worry you lazy kid. Start putting that intelligence to use on useful matters would you. Stop complaining if we get sent out for important missions only. It's not like we are fighting every day."

Cat- "Ya the captains right. We are usually just training people every other day stop complaining."

Cat grow up well after meeting lord Rimuru. She's gotten to be well educated in engineering and often helps in the research department in her spare time. Her short dark hair reminds me of my last team. All of them die but each person is different in their own ways. They also do t have the sad gloomy atmosphere I'm used to being around. From what I understand they all came from around the 21st century besides me. They had much better childhood as well. I hope that one day they won't need to fight anymore. And according to our boss that will be in only a few years. I'll die to see that happen, no matter the costs.

After that we returned to base and went to rest. Eventually we got the gifts that the leader told us we'd get soon. I finally got my own ultimate skill as I wished. I'll need to give a report to the leader soon about what happened and our strength increase. Perhaps I'll help the others get their reports made as well.

                         Rimuru's POV

After I woke up I felt almost no different from before. I guess my energy barely increased at all. The skill I got however was interesting.

Unique skill dragon unity

- Unify

- complete synchronization: helps users to have a better unifying than usual

- skill sharing

- dragon summoning

-energy sharing

I have some of these sub skills already but Veldora doesn't. Since we both have the same skill we are even more connected than before. I hope Veldora is willing to wait before trying to use it. I then have the angels and spirits I've been summoning over the years join us as well. I instruct the incarnated angels to help the bodiless ones to incarnate while I go do other things. I go to evolve one more person so I can have a good escort before going to Walpurgis. It will also surprise Clayman the most. It should help increase her loyalty to me as well. She has been supervising her people in building her new settlement for the newly revived people. Geld has been helping them as well.

Geld- "Lord Rimuru what brings you here

Rimuru- "I'm here to speak to Kuko. I have a choice for her to make."

Geld- "I will go inform her of your arrival immediately." He then left to get her.

As I waited I saw that they were building the old style Japanese buildings that the ogres had as well. The total amount of people here is around a little under 3,000. Each at the rank of around B+ or higher. As all of them are cryptids I'm not surprised by their above average strength just like the insectars. They all have received a gift recently but if it goes right it will happen again. Though most of these people aren't fighters so I doubt it will do much for them. After looking around for a bit Geld and Kuko came to me.

Kuko- "Lord Rimuru it is good to see you again. The name and gifts you've given me are things I'll never be able to repay you with but my unconditional loyalty. I thank you for helping us get back not only our lives but our livelihoods as well."
