72 Episode 71 Just Before the Battle




"What should I do first to confirm ......?

Well, ......, can you come to the surface for now?

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
Incidentally, as a result of my training over the past two months, I've been able to return from the 297th level to the ground in a single transfer.

When I reached the ground, ...... it was the middle of the night with no light except for the moon.
When I replied that I had moved, Artemis sent me the following instructions.

The next step is to move to ...... someplace where you won't bother anyone else, and then use magic to launch an artificial sun.

Artificial sun, huh?
This is the outskirts of King's Landing, and there are a lot of people living there. ...... I don't want to wake them up, so I'll just move around a bit and launch it.

I traveled with the myotrope for a while, and when I came to a place where there were no people, I asked the ...... Caucasus to launch the artificial sun.

"Got it.

I see, there it is. Then ...... I want you to look with your clairvoyant eye around 8.4 degrees longitude to the west and 8.2 degrees latitude to the south of there.

Apparently, the reason Artemis asked me to launch the artificial sun was to specify the coordinates of where he wanted me to look.

Thinking of the planet as seen from the moon, I observed the area Artemis had indicated with my clairvoyance.

It took me a little while to find something that looked like it because I was exploring with my senses, but ...... after a while, I was able to find a huge dragon trying to flap its wings.

"That dragon?

However, it's possible that what I found was completely misguided, so I checked with Artemis.

Then ......

I'm sure you're right. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

Artemis had such an opinion.

It's not impossible. It's not impossible. Thank you, Artemis.

I thanked her and decided to watch the dragon a little more closely.


Suzaku, he's a man who acts in complete secrecy until it happens.
Most of the time, we can only respond after Suzaku has actually caused some damage.

But this time, thanks to Artemis, we may be able to avoid that.

I'd better not waste this opportunity.
I decided to observe the dragon with my clairvoyant eyes, but at the same time ...... I also decided to start moving with the muscular dart cloud.




I'll be back.



"Qilin, appear before me and ...... make a mutually beneficial trade.

As I continued to observe with my clairvoyance, I learned some things and had some questions, so I decided to ask the Qilin about them.

As soon as the Qilin appeared, ...... I asked the Qilin a question before asking the canned sentence.

"Qilin. In fact, I've just found out that Suzaku may have been located. ...... I'd like to ask you a few questions about that. Can you answer me?

"Oh, finally, Suzaku! I've been looking forward to it. I'm all ears.

I found a dragon that I think is a servant of the Vermillion Sparrow. ...... For some reason, no matter how hard I search around it, I can't find the Vermillion Sparrow. Would you mind taking a look at it with me?

Initially, when I confronted Suzaku's men, I was planning to find out where he was by tearing him down and sending him running back just in time.
Just like when I sent Hercules back to Zakuel.

But if we could locate Suzaku's men while they were still in the base, we could save ourselves the trouble.
And since Suzaku's own fighting ability is not that great, the effort to defeat him will be greatly reduced.

With this in mind, I searched all around the vicinity of the dragon.
If the dragon wasn't attacking something or moving, it must be waiting near Suzaku's base.

However, ...... contrary to what I thought, no matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find any sign of Suzaku.

So I decided to ask the Qilin for help.


Well, if the dragon was not related to Suzaku in the first place, then everything would be back to square one.

While thinking about this, I gave the coordinates to the Qilin as Artemis had taught me. ...... The Qilin's eyes were black and white as he told me this.

I'm not sure if it's ...... an armored dragon ......!

Armored Dragon? What's wrong with that?

To be honest, I don't really care what kind of demons Suzaku has under his command.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

"Armored Dragon ....... He's armed with a dragon and he's going to attack humans. ......
