It was mid day and we were already a very good distance away from the Goblin village. Apparently, the evolved Tempest Wolves had become so fast that they were basically faster then the wind and according to Mimir, would greatly reduce the time it took for us to reach Dwargon compared to two months it would've taken on foot.
After a while of running (And Rimuru nearly falling off Ranga's back when he went a little too fast one time) we made camp for the coming night.
Blake: Hey Rigur, I had a question.
Rigur: Yes sir?
Blake: I remember bringing up how you're brother had a name and Rigurd said that some wandering Majin gave it to him.
Rigur: Yes, it was Lord Gelmud who named him.
Blake: Gelmud?
Rigur: Lord Gelmud is a Majin that came from the army of a Demon Lord.
...Demon Lord?
{Mimir: Demon Lord is a term used in two different fashions, either as a classification for Monsters or as a social position. In general, it refers to the strongest or highest-ranking beings among monsters, however, that is not an absolute rule.}
You mentioned them before when talking about the Hero.
{Mimir: Correct, and just like the Hero, there are two stages of Demon Lords. A Demon Lord Seed: an individual who have met the necessary qualifications to be able to undergo a Harvest Festival and awaken as a Demon Lord. And True Demon Lords: those of have actually awakened into becoming a Demon Lord and have evolved into a much higher being.}
And how does one become a Demon Lord?
{Mimir: Becoming a Demon Lord is arguably easier then becoming a Hero. The two main ways to become one is to either awaken as a True Demon Lord or proclaim yourself as a Demon Lord and prove you have the power worthy of the title, usually via ending the existence of another Demon Lord. For the first one, you'd have to acquire a Demon Lord seed or already be born as a natural Demonic entity, gain an incredible amount of power and magicules through your own strength and guile, then devour a certain amount of souls to nurture the seed so it can evolve one into a True Demon Lord. Just about any being can become a True Demon lord, with the exceptions of beings more purely connected to the Holy or Elemental attributes such a True Dragons, Elementals, Angels and so on. Despite that, they can still call themselves Demon Lords and keep the status via succeeding in option two; prove their might.}
And these guys are basically around the same power as that Hero who sealed up Veldora? So it wouldn't be wise pissing any of them off... for now at least.
Rimuru: Hey Ranga...
I looked over at Rimuru who was talking to Ranga about something.
Rimuru: Since me and Blake were the ones who killed your dad. Do you ever think about taking one of us out to avenge him? It's kinda been something on my mind lately...
Ranga: ...I have thought it. But though I lost my father, you spared at the rest of us after our defeat, took us all in and even gave us a new real name. In the end, I feel nothing but gratitude for the both of you! There is no room for resentment. Our pack is loyalty to you and you two alone, you are both our only masters!
Later, we got a fire going and cooked up some the meat we managed to gather while hunting.
Rimuru: Hey Gobta, can you tell us more about where we're heading?
Gobta: Oh! W-Well for starters... it's official known as the Armed nation of Dwargon. It's a beautiful city that's carved out of a natural cave system where Dwarves, Elves, Humans and other kinds of species live and work together in harmony.
