Otosaka Souji found no trace of any living creatures nearby, which put his mind at ease, and he prepared to explore the Chinese cave.
Just as Otosaka Souji was exploring.
A deep and powerful voice rang in my ears.
"Hey, human. Can you hear me?"
The heavy sound echoed in my ears.
In an instant, Otosaka Souji felt as if his body was being suppressed by something.
Every cell in his body was reminding him that there was danger, great danger.
The cells are trembling; this may be the organism's own stress response.
When they encounter someone in a superior position, they have an instinctive reaction ingrained in their genes.
Otosaka Souji felt like his body was about to collapse, and he had a suffocating feeling in his throat.
What's wrong with me...?
This was the first time Otosaka Souji had experienced this feeling.
The commander instinctively wanted to check his own body.
But to his surprise, that heavy voice rang in Souji's ears again.
"Human! Come to me."
The voice seemed to have a magical power.
Following the direction of the sound, Otosaka Souji walked heavily towards it.
Soon, Otosaka Souji followed the sound and reached the end of the cave.
At the end was a seven-colored light curtain, inside which seemed to be a giant dragon with black scales sealed.
The dragon exuded a terrifying aura, perhaps the powerful presence of a superior or strong being!
The dragon looked at the tiny human before it and spoke.
"Human, I am the great Storm Dragon, Veldora."
He heard the dragon say his name was Veldora.
Otosaka Souji immediately thought of slimes.
This is the world where Rimuru is reincarnated.
No wonder I gained so many skills and abilities as soon as I arrived.
All of this is easily explained, and Otosaka Souji has no more worries.
All fear and dread stem from the unknown and the mysterious.
Once things cease to be unknown or mysterious, then there's nothing to be afraid of.
Since this dragon is called Veldora, then this cave must be the sealed cave in the Jura Forest.
"Humans!"
"You've got some nerve."
"How dare they ignore the great Storm Dragon Veldora."
really…………
He's truly a tsundere, chuunibyou (delusional) dragon.
It seems I've really been transported to the world of Turning Slime.
And right from the start, we encountered a super big BOSS.
So, does this count as encountering the strongest BOSS in the beginner village?
Although the Storm Dragon Veldora's strength is not the absolute ceiling of this world, it is still among the top ten.
It's no wonder that I felt fear and pressure.
Facing such a monster, one would probably only need to blow a breath of it to make things difficult.
Fortunately, the Storm Dragon Veldora has a decent personality; he's just a bit childish and has a bit of a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) tendency.
Thinking of this, Otosaka Souji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since the chuunibyou dragon Veldora is still in the sealed cave in the Jura Forest, it means that Mikami Satoru has not yet begun to reincarnate as a slime.
In other words, he hasn't met Rimuru yet, and the story hasn't even begun.
Otosaka Souji forced himself to calm down.
"That's what Storm Dragon Veldora said in response.
"Hello, Storm Dragon Veldora, I am Otosaka Souji, who just traveled here from another world."
"It's a pleasure to meet you."
Knowing that the other party would not harm him, Otosaka Souji looked up and stared directly at the Western dragon with black and blue scales in front of him.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"…………"
The Storm Dragon Veldora remained silent.
Clearly, Otosaka Souji's reaction was beyond his expectations.
As a storm dragon, which is regarded as a natural disaster.
This was the first time Verudela had ever seen a human who could remain calm in front of him.
It took him a moment to snap out of his daze.
Then he spoke to Otosaka Souji.
"Human, you certainly have courage."
"You are the first guy who dares to look me, the great Storm Dragon Veldora, in the eye."
"Otosaka Souji, although you are a transmigrator from another world, I, the great Storm Dragon Veldora, will remember you."
Veldora manipulated its massive body, slowly lowering its head, wanting to carefully observe the brave human before it.
Perhaps humans are as small as ants to Veldora's enormous body.
He once brought countless disasters to mankind, which is why he is regarded as a natural disaster.
Humans have tried to destroy him countless times.
But how could weak humans possibly harm a powerful dragon, let alone destroy it?
Although these disasters were not caused by Veludra's own will, but rather by his unconscious actions.
Veldora was well aware of just how powerful his aura was.
If he hadn't firmly restrained his own magical essence within his body...
The sheer pressure of the magic element alone would probably be enough to prevent Otosaka Souji from standing up.
However, being able to withstand the pressure from his own unconscious mind, Otosaka Souji must be considered one of the strongest among humans.
While Otosaka Souji approached the Storm Dragon Veldora with caution, he was not truly afraid of it.
Because Otosaka Souji knew that even if he encountered danger, he could escape using his "time-travel power".
Another important point is...
Veldora has been sealed in this cave for three hundred years.
He spent three hundred years in solitude and loneliness.
He probably really wants someone to come out and chat with him.
As long as you don't show hostility or do anything reckless, there shouldn't be any possibility of death.
Otosaka Souji understood this, which is why he started talking to him.
The chat went very smoothly.
Otosaka Souji also became more and more relaxed during the conversation.
During the process, Otosaka Souji also told a few corny jokes, which made Verdula laugh out loud.
Such a powerful being would be entirely beneficial to Otosaka Souji if he could befriend him.
Veldora is arrogant and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). What she likes most is listening to Otosaka Souji say those chuunibyou and domineering words.
For example.
"I have abandoned the gods and chosen to live forever in battle."
"Though I have fallen on the battlefield, I will surely tread upon the bones of a million."
"To travel alone is like leading a million soldiers."
"If you have lofty ambitions in your heart, what fear is there of a dragon lurking in shallow waters?"
"What you lose, others will gain, just as what you gain, others will lose."
"The road to light is destined to be full of thorns."
"We are both in the prime of our lives, how can we willingly admit defeat?"
"A murderous intent stirs the heavens and earth, sweeping across the eight wastelands and shaking the universe."
"When someone loses a lot, he learns how to win."
"I was not born a king, but indomitable blood flows in my veins."
"The day the silver dragon is reforged will be the day the knights return."
"Only through depravity can one achieve freedom; let the wings of the devil replace the wings of the angels."
"With no woman in my heart, my sword will naturally be divine. The first page of the sword manual: Forget the one you love."
