When Rimuru absorbs a person or monster, he absorbs their skill. It's also important to point out that Rimuru's Analysis Skill was such that he could analyze with sight alone (I'm thinking this is due to Food Chain and Shuna's Analyze Skill). Even if he doesn't display the Skill right away, Ciel catalogs and stores the Skill until such a time it can be used by Rimuru or one or more of his subordinates. Now this is pure speculation on my part, but seeing as how Veldanava was an all-powerful being, he still screwed the pooch and got himself destroyed. I can see Ciel withholding certain Skills from Rimuru until he is mature enough in his abilities to utilize them to protect him. I come to this conclusion as Ciel "prevents" Rimuru from growing his "son" now that he has DNA of his original body. I believe this is to prevent Rimuru from duplicating Veldanava's mistake.
