These are some unnoticed feats I came across from Vol.2 of Tenslime's LN.
(Rimuru)
Perception Manipulation:
"Thought Communication allowed me to see the world through Soei's eyes—a pretty handy feature, in my opinion—but unlike myself, Soei couldn't keep the link going indefinitely."
Precognition.
"I wasn't worried, though. This orc was, in my eyes, pretty weak. Unlike Hakuro, whose strikes seemed impossible to avoid even with the instincts of a born hunter, I could still predict this orc's moves just by looking at him. It was cute, in a way."
(Ranga)
Matter (at the atomic level) & Sound Manipulation.
"A moment later, a shock wave formed a crater in the earth, sending piles of dirt and mud into the sky. The blast from Ranga's Voice Cannon held enough power to atomize a group of goblins on the spot. But it would only work, of course, if it actually struck the ogres."
Fear Manipulation (on a scale of 8 people).
"So Ranga, accepting my order, turned to face the lizardmen. A single glare from him was enough to make even the stout-looking guards in their iron chest pieces take a step back in self-defense."
"Ranga was using Coercion as he talked. It struck home among the warriors, who were now frozen in place. One, though, wasn't—the envoy, who looked a tad groggy but still maintained his stately, puffed-out posture."
Aura.
"With a howl as long and loud as he could muster, he unleashed his aura. After spending so long in the shadow of Rimuru, he had been heavily exposed to his beloved master's aura and used it to picture himself as the magical beast he was. Something drove him to pursue this form of himself, and now Ranga realized it was time for his instincts to awaken."
(Shion)
Summoning. It's likely she can resummon her scabbard at any point.
"Oh, it's fine," Shion said with a laugh. "The scabbard's covered in magical power, so I can make it disappear with a moment's thought."
Light speed?/Existence Erasure?
"The voice was accompanied by a single flash of light, backed up by a low rumble. And with it, the orc general ceased to exist in any physical sense."
Energy Projection.
"A blast of energy shot out from Shion's heavy sword. The orcish soldiers crowded in front of her were blown away before they realized what had happened—and the attack signaled the beginning of their battle."
"Shion also had the Art known as Ogresword Cannon, which let her unleash pure energy from the tip of her blade."
Damage Reduction.
"Realizing the danger, she attempted to deflect the blow while leaping backward to reduce the impact. The damage upon her was clear nonetheless. She winced in pain—it'd be a while before she was ready to move again."
(Soei)
Genius Intelligence.
"Soei, meanwhile, was leading a small group of hobgobs as they built a sort of security network around town, lined with small-scale devices along the way that would sound an alarm whenever someone approached."
He was also able to figure out the fact that the Orc Lord had Ravenous despite not directly being in confrontation with it, and the existence of an Orc Lord.
"This is just speculation on my part, but I wonder if, perhaps, they were…foraging upon the bodies of those who died of starvation or battle wounds. I say this because, while I conducted thorough investigations of the battlefields they fought in, I found not a single corpse."
"But wherever they were known to be, I found not a single corpse—and our homeland was completely devoid of anything. That is the full truth. And that brings to mind a certain skill…"
"Indeed. I have not confirmed it, but I cannot deny the chance that an orc lord has appeared. I have, at least, confirmed the presence of high-order orc knights. Our attackers, likely."
Genius Intelligence for Hakurou and Benimaru, too. Since they formulate plans with Soei.
"I think you may have a point. If the main lizardman force is deployed directly in front of them, it would be easiest to try to strike from the rear. But the orcs clearly don't have the time to try to circle behind them, and even if they attempted such folly, they could easily be attacked and routed from both sides while their lines are stretched thin. There is no reason to keep an army here." (Hakurou)
"But what would the point be?" Benimaru countered. "Even if the goblins defeated the lizardmen, all they'd have waiting for them is death at the hands of the orc onrush." (Benimaru)
(Treyni)
Aura.
"Treyni exuded a presence in the room that was electric. It was like energy coursed across her entire body."
Magic.
"The moment she completed her declaration, she began casting a spell. This unnerved Laplace."
Immortality Type 8/Fusionism?
"It was similar to Rimuru's Replication—although she did not, strictly speaking, have any physical form at all, apart from the holy tree that housed her soul. Those properties allowed her to unify her spirit with others like her."
Telepathy/Information Manipulation.
"No one was there to answer. Treyni filed the question away for later, instead turning her eyes toward the battlefield. Running her mind through the roots of the plants that surrounded her, she used her dryad skills to swim in an ocean of information."
(Hakurou)
Relativistic speeds? Because we've already established Rimuru's Magic Sense is passive, and he barely caught his speed.
"It was Hakuro, and with a speed even I was just barely capable of following, he drew his sword from the staff it was hidden in."
(Gabil)
Magic.
"Vortex Spear, a magical weapon to be wielded only by the strongest of tribal warriors, and as far as Gabil was concerned, he was born to hold it."
Stealth Mastery.
"That was how the battle began—a handful of fighters hiding in the tall grasses, sneaking up on a clutch of orcs."
Social Influencing.
"The lizardmen's natural agility in these marshes made that strategy possible. Gabil was no talentless fool. He lacked his father's ability to instantly gauge the entire theater of war in one glance, but the way he led his fighting men and women was worthy of praise. He had inherited a lot of talent from the former chief. Lizardmen were naturally attracted to the strong, the powerful—merely talking a big show wouldn't be enough. Gabil's men loved him, and the love proved that he was more than just bravado and mindless courage."
(Orc Diaster)
Adaption, Power Absorption, Power Mimicry.
"The orcish infantry gnawing on the bare flesh were transferring the lizardman's abilities to the orc lord himself. It would not be a perfect duplicate like the ones Rimuru could engineer with his Predator skill, but it had one advantage: It could give the caster not only the consumed victim's skills, but also their innate physical traits. Whatever the orc lord managed to absorb from the body, he could then feed back to the rest of his army."
"It was exactly why the lizardman chief feared, above everything else, losing any of his men in battle. Doing so meant losing any inherent advantage his species brought to the table. Even if the orcs couldn't fully seize the skills of their foes, they could still gain some feature of the lizardmen—and it would instantly be gifted to every member of the horde."
"Perhaps they'd grow webbing around their feet, letting them more freely move through the mud. Or perhaps scales would spontaneously appear over the more vulnerable points on their bodies, boosting their defense. They were little changes, yes, but they would have dramatic effects on how the battle would turn out."
Telepathy.
"This was known as the Food Chain, another ability unlocked by the Ravenous skill. It let the orcs function both as a horde, and as a single conscious entity. Ravenous did not work the way a well-trained direwolf pack did, but the effects it could have on an enemy could be just as devastating."
"A pity, though," Soei blithely commented as he looked at the frozen orc. "I had him captured, I was hoping to torture him so he would be of some use to Sir Rimuru…but it would appear he is sharing information with some outside source. I suppose I will have to kill him, the."
(Laplace
Stealth Mastery:
"His own intrinsic Anti-Magic skills let him escape mortal injury. All it managed to take from him was a single arm—and with a puff of smoke, the arm went into so-called Stealth Mode. This was an original skill, exclusive to Laplace, that combined illusory magic like Deception, Infiltration, and Concealment, and he was so deft at casting it that it even let him deceive the spiritual senses of a dryad."
(Shuna
Status Effect Inducement.
"The illusory spell Confusion, cast at the start of battle, had also knocked his keen sense of smell off-line. At least the effects had not fully incapacitated him yet—though it had taken out most of his companions in battle, unable to resist the magic strike."
(Resistances
Resistance to Status Effect Inducement for Ranga, and anyone stronger than him.

Resistance to Empathic Manipulation for Orc Disaster, and anyone stronger:
"The howl made the orcish soldiers shudder, but they felt no fear from it. Their orc general was right by their side, and the Ravenous skill had dulled their hearts. Ranga gave them a disinterested snort as he glanced at their leader. This was no threat to him now. He could feel his true strength, and it was time to show it off."
