"--Master, my lord! It's a big deal!


　The Lord of the City of Alfilo, Leiloh, was asleep in his bed in the mansion that day when he was awakened by a deputy.

"............ What's that noise. Are we being attacked by demons?

"Oh, you're right! Nearly a hundred demons are coming straight to this city from the sky in the direction of the magical forest!

　At those words, Raylor's sleepy head wakes up in an instant.

"--Well, it's finally come to that: ....... You said it was up in the sky, does that mean the demon is a wyvern or something?

"No, no, I've seen in the crystal in the distance, the demon is a false dragon!

"What?

　The report made me gasp in astonishment.

　A mature dragon is the generic term for the adult form of the world's strongest and most famous creature, the dragon tribe.

　As a classification of demons, they are of the disaster class, and an Adamantite-class adventurer with the ability to defeat one of them needs to form a party to deal with them.

　That's it--a hundred.

　This is the worst thing imaginable. If this is not done well, not only this city, but the country will collapse (・・・・・・・・・).

Summon the guards and all the adventurers in waiting! Now! Let's declare a state of emergency in the city and start evacuating the population!

　At the lord's words, the deputy quickly leaves the room and the entire lordship begins to move in a hurry.

　Laylau quickly got off the bed, put his arms through a simple cloak and left the bedroom.

　...... Recently, reports that something is wrong with the magical forest had arrived.

　I've been thinking about this for a while now, and I've recently recruited a few more people who are able to fight.

　At the very least, I hope it will last until the inhabitants have been evacuated .......


　--I'd like to see them at least until the evacuation of the inhabitants is complete.


　With such a tragic resolution, Rayleau hurried to his office to take charge.


　　　* * * *


　In the moonlit shade, a swarm of dragons gallops through the moonlight.

　They are well-governed, and their appearance is even more impressive, as if they were a whole organism.

　I'm sure it's a good thing that people with this much strength listen to what they have to say: ...... Well, that's probably because they're afraid of Lephi.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. I'm sure that in this world where power is everything, they won't even think about going against you. The difference in power between them is so great that the moment you cross them, you're dead.

　Below you, Lil is kicking off the earth, the muscles of his limbs are dancing, and he's running and following at a speed that's completely comparable to us flying through the air.

I see it--!

　Eventually, my eyesight, which is vastly enhanced compared to that of a human being, shows me a distant view of a human village - a city.

　The city is much larger than I had imagined, with a solid-looking barrier wall surrounding it.

　It's deep into the night, but the lights are on and you can see that the city seems to be in a hurry. On top of the protective wall, you can see fully armed figures.

　I'm sure there's still some distance between us ...... and they've already captured us by some means.

　...... A city in another world.
　I would have liked to visit them differently if I could.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

If I go out of control, there's a good chance I'll destroy the entire town and Iruna as well! I'm sorry, but you'll be responsible for picking up the princess!

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who knows how to discipline the dragons.

"No need to be told!

　A few moments after hearing Reffi's reply, I finally surpassed the city's protective wall, and while recklessly dodging some magic or bow attack, I folded my wings and swooped down into the city below.

　The ground comes closer and closer, and eventually I land on the ground.

　A thud runs through my body, and a cloud of dust rises in the air.

　And right beside me as I landed on the ground, Lil came running across the roof, climbing over the city's protective wall with ease.

Lil! What does Iruna smell like!

"Gruuuuut!

　Bend your neck and point in one direction, Lil.

Okay, lead on!

　As soon as I put my arm around Lil's neck and jumped on his back in one bound, he ran off like a bullet.

I'm over here! It's down here!

　On the way, you can see armed men hurrying towards you, but ignore the mere mortals.

　The only thing I'm aiming for is Iruna's place.


　　　* * * *


　And so, a few minutes of running through the city.

　Eventually you arrive at a mansion-like building. It's one or two sizes larger than the surrounding buildings, and it's clear that this is a place with a reasonable amount of power.

　--This is it.

　So this is the den of bastards.


.............................


　Finally unable to control my raging emotions, I jumped down from the top of Lil' and with a beastly roar, I flashed my great sword in my hand.

　At the same time, the front door of the building is blown inward with a loud sound.

What the hell?

"Who the hell are you?

　As you enter with the momentum, what you see is a shop-like interior with tacky furnishings.

　It seems to be a two-story building, with a huge staircase leading up to the second floor at the back of the entrance, and a money-grubbing chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

　And then - as if preparing to escape - men in a not-so-secretary manner are trying to move the girls (・・・・・・) chained (・・・・・・) with collars (・・・・・・) somewhere.

　Although there is no sign of Iruna among the girls .......

　I'm going to have to grit my teeth tightly at the sight of it all.

　...... I wonder how much more they need to be annoyed with me. 　

Do it, you!

　The other side must have decided to eliminate me as a clear suspicious person.

　I'm not going to be the only one who has the ability to do this.

　--Oh, I don't care if you kill ...... already.



　He raises his mace and hacks off the head of the first man who leaps at him - one hand carelessly swinging his greatsword with the other, cutting off his head.

　The softness of flesh and the hardness of bone.
　Blood splatters wet your cheek and your head rolls on the ground.

　Perhaps cowed by the loss of their comrades, the men, who had been shouting angrily, slow down a bit.

　Seizing the opportunity, I rush into the middle of the group and draw my greatsword with all my strength.

　Some of them react quickly and successfully thwart the weapons and guard themselves, but - no matter.

"Haha--

"Uggh...

　Those who failed to defend themselves in time would be blown off only their upper bodies, leaving their lower bodies in place, and those who were able to defend themselves would also be blown to the edge of the wall, unable to withstand the weight of my slashes.

　This is one of the reasons why I chose the big sword as my weapon of choice.

　With my current monster-like physical strength, this kind of forceful attack is possible without any skill.

Die!

　And the one who narrowly escaped from the blade's reach swings his sword at me, looking like he's just barely out of range - unfortunately, I'm not the only one here.

　Lil, who has taken cover, instantly closes the distance between us and lets the man take a paw strike.

　The man is completely unable to keep up with Lil's quickness of movement, and is crushed in an instant, his upper body is crushed and he dies. 　

Tch! This guy has a devil! You, get the stuff!

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier," one of the leaders shouted at him, and several of his men pulled out an object from the back of the room that looked like a series of crystal balls and began to manipulate it in some way.

　...... "Magical Tools", huh?

　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to have a good time with them.

"Hey, are you okay?

　Lil' shakes his head as if to say "no problem", but he seems to be in bad shape somehow.

　Crystal of Interference: Disturbs the demon's magic and slows it down. Depending on the strength of the demon, it has a wider range of effects. Quality: B+

　Turned and activated analysis skills come to tell the identity of the magic tool.

　...... Such an effect.

　That's interesting. You're as weak as this trash, and yet you went into that forest and stayed safe because of ...... that grimoire.

　I've always wondered.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.
　So why would they risk their lives just to bring back Iruna alone?

　I'm sure you're not going to be able to find a way to make it work for you.

　I'm sure that such a cynical smile would have appeared on your face. You will be able to get the most out of your time in the event that you are not able to get a good deal more than you need.

You're going to have to be a little tougher ......! You guys, let's go. It's been said that a servant is not so strong in person! We're outnumbered, go in a group and kill them!

　...... Didn't these guys see how many people were killed by me alone?

　Or is your brain too crazy to understand such things?

"Okay, Lil. You stay right there.

　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to find a way to make your life easier.

What?

　Let out an exclamation of astonishment, the leader of the bastards .
　The magic I invoked was always my own, a few dragons formed by a fast flow of water.

Go.

　As soon as I uttered that, the dragon that I created let out a joyful roar, and went through the air vigorously, and chewed the bastards with its big gungs.

　The bastards are helplessly taken into the body of the dragon.

　They struggle to get out of the water, drowning, shredded by the current - and then none of them move.


　　　* * * *　


　--The place remains a picture of hell, full of dead bodies.

　The room is littered with guts, and blood paints the surroundings red.

　Just looking at it ...... didn't change my mind about killing a human being, not even for a moment.

　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

......-han, that's good.

　I'm going to smash the magic tools the bastards brought me with my greatsword and spit it out.

　That means that I don't have to hesitate to send this trash to hell.

"...... lil, where's Iruna?

"Coo ......

　Apparently, the smell of blood was so strong that the exact location was lost.

　I'm going to tell you that with an apologetic look on my face, Lil.

　--Oh well.

　All we have to do is kill these people one by one, and someone will come out who knows where Iruna is.
