It’s appeared but the community fan translations aren’t done yet. There’s a user on Reddit who is diligently translating the light novels for the eager readers, so some people have read the light novels but most haven’t. Yes, Velgaia has made an appearance in the novels, though he has a very minor and yet unexplored role. I don’t remember the exact means but he came from the chaos dragon and Rimuru somehow used his knowledge over souls (which becomes more sophisticated over time) to bring him back. Then Milim gets him and they practice in the Labryinth, the same as the written novels, and then he leaves the light novel. I’ve read up to volume 16 and as of right now he has no significant role outside of just existing.

If he makes another appearance, it’ll probably be within the next two volumes
