rimuru_tempest,walks through a narrow stone corridor beneath the tempest castle,holding a glowing crystal lantern in one hand. the corridor is damp,with moss growing between the stones. he wears a simpler version of his outfit: the white coat unbuttoned,sleeves rolled to his elbows,the black undershirt visible,boots scuffed from travel. the slime rides on his shoulder,its body stretched to peer ahead. the lantern casts a warm,golden pool of light around him,leaving the rest of the corridor in deep shadow. his face is half-lit,serious and alert,eyes scanning ahead. water drips from the ceiling,creating small ripples in puddles on the stone floor. his reflection is faintly visible in the wet stone beneath his feet.
