The Unleashed

tokihanatare shisha (解き放たれし者) is the seventy-first chapter of the manga adaptation of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.

Summary
Rimuru begins to explain to everyone, that has gathered in front of his house, that he plans on becoming a Demon Lord in terms of name and a fact. Shion then pointed out to Rimuru that he was already a demon lord. Since Rimuru hasn't made his status as a true demon lord public yet Hakurou clarify the miscommunication, by telling the people that have gathered, that Rimuru's plan is to announce his evolution to the ten great demon lords. Benimaru questions Rimuru's actions. Rimuru tends to seek his revenge on Kleiman, for manipulating behind the scene in the recent attack on Tempest and Eurazania. Fortunately, no one objects to that idea. Souei suggested he should begin his intelligence gathering on Kleiman.

Before the war start, the three beastketeers sworn their lives for Rimuru's kindness and were told to take a good rest. As Shion was giving a lecture to Diablo on how to be a good secretary, Shuna reminds Shion the order that was given to her for the war. Gabiru greeted Rimuru when Rimuru teleported just outside the cave. While Rimuru ventures into the cave, he promotes Gabiru to an executive to watch over the cave. As Gabiru and his men celebrated for the promotion, Rimuru requested that absolutely nobody can enter the deepest parts of the cave.

Rimuru, with his newfound power as a True Demon Lord, undid the Unlimited Imprisonment and summoned Veldora from his "Stomach Storage." Veldora expected his freedom to come much later but Rimuru explains what led up to that moment. As Rimuru was expecting a reaction from Veldora, Veldora was startled and begins to accidentally blurt out why he'd already knew Rimuru was a true Demon Lord. Veldora flicks Rimuru's slimy head and explained that when Rimuru named all the monsters he could, the Magicules that was consumed was from Veldora. Veldora wanted a crimuru puffs as an apology from Rimuru.

Rimuru questions Veldora about the gift that he had received when Rimuru became a demon lord. After Veldora was thinking about his gift, he starts blabbering about how great his "Faust" ability really was. When Veldora was being a tsundere, Rimuru offered Veldora to go outside for the first time. Rimuru thought to himself about how a spiritual being has to inhabit a vessel. While Rimuru was lost in thought, Rimuru was thinking about how Veldora would interact with Rimuru if Veldora dispersed into magicules. Veldora promises to suppress his aura while Rimuru creates a clone for Veldora to inhabit in. While Veldora was possessing Rimuru's body double, Raphael explained that the soul corridor was between him and Veldora was made and Rimuru gained a new skill called "Veldora."

Thus, Veldora's possession of Rimuru's double was a success. Veldora grabs Rimuru by the arms while thanking him and quoting a line from a manga that he read while in Rimuru's "Stomach Storage". Veldora is trying to suppress his power, meanwhile the town has fallen into an uproar because of Veldora's sudden presence. To Be Continue Here...
