'Hmm. I don't know, but it's not bad training. Adventure should be like this.'

'You're easygoing, Luke. ......'

The red-haired swordsman, Luke Sykol, smiled and drew a sword from his waist in a familiar motion.

It was a straight sword with a blade about a meter long, easy to handle.
The blade was wide, but the most striking feature of the sword was that it was made of wood, from the hilt to the blade and scabbard. Naturally, there is no blade, and it is not something that can be used on the battlefield where lives are at stake.
But because it's made of wood, it's very light, and Luke raises it confidently and points it toward the sky.

An azure sky without a cloud. Far above, there was a small shadow.
It was invisible to normal eyesight, but to Luke and the other Strange Griefers, who had repeatedly conquered the Treasure House and had enhanced their senses, it was enough to make a judgment.

It was a dragon. A common green dragon with a deep green body surface.
Of course, even though it was a common dragon, it was an adult dragon, one of the strongest of the fantastic beasts, with a kill level of at least six.


'But it's not just ...... that so many dragons appear.

'There aren't supposed to be any green dragons around here, so they must have flown in from far away. ......'

Dragon species, with a few exceptions, have excellent flight capabilities. This is one of the reasons why dragons are considered the strongest species, but there is no way for a mere human being to keep up with the speed at which dragons move, which sometimes exceeds the speed of sound.
Liizu, who was dangling on his brother's shoulder, cowered. Even Liz, who loves a good fight, looks dumbfounded.

'How many are there now? Isn't that too many? How do you collect them?'

'Well. As far as I know, there's no way to collect dragons. ...... If there were, the only possibility would be 'treasure tools' ......?

''A treasure trove, that could be anything.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

There was no sense of tension between them, even though they had discovered a flying dragon.

A few hours later, Citly and the others had already encountered five dragons.
Dragons are supposed to have a wide territory. It's obviously not unusual for them to pass that many dragons in such a short period of time. Just like yesterday's group of childrens, this incident is quite suspicious.
If there is a way to control dragons, it is a very dangerous technology.

'Fox' .......

'Kry said we don't need dragons anymore. ......'



Luke nodded his head in agreement.

'Take my swordplay! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Luke's style, the flying sword 'Ryusen'!

Luke roared, raising a cloud of dust as he sprinted through the streets trampled by wagons coming and going.
Ignoring Liz's comment, "Isn't it strange that a swordsman would throw a sword? The sword flew straight up.
It looked like a shooting star. It never slowed down and flew in pursuit of the fast-moving green dragon, which burned up red before it could reach it. Luke collapsed on the spot.

'd*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it, d*mn it! I'm burning up again. What am I missing! Lucia, the next sword!

'Hmmm ......, maybe you don't have enough energy.'

'Mm-hmm.'

'Don't say random things. ...... "Hailstorm".'

A small whirlwind is generated in Lucia's palm . The whirlwind containing glittering ice grains instantly grew according to the magic formula, and turned into a huge tornado that could climb high into the sky.
Magic that manipulates nature is often on a large scale. Lucia's speciality is ice magic.
The ice storm that was created spread faster than the dragon's flight speed, laying waste to the entire area.

Soon after, a roaring sound shook the area. The green dragon, caught in the storm and torn to pieces by the ice particles, lost its lift and crashed into the ground.

'That's an easy job.

'I guess we can't call in too many strong dragons.

Dragons come in all shapes and sizes. There are dragons like the Hot Spring Dragon and Childrens that can be killed by a level 4 hunter if they are alone, and there are also dragons that the Ghost of Sorrows can't defeat even with all its might.
In this case, the Green Dragon and the dragons that had appeared so far were no great opponents. At the very least, the Ghost of Sorrows was a species that could be buried with a touch of armor.

The effect time expired, and the Hailstorm disappeared. All that was left was the frozen earth and the corpse of the dragon.

'What should we do with the materials?

'Leave it. It's a waste, but I can't carry it around.'

'I'm fine with it because it's fun, but I don't appreciate it when so many dragons show up. If they're going to come, why don't they all come at once?

'Hmm.

The whole body of a dragon is valuable material, but this time we are not here to make money. We can't afford to carry them. We don't even know what kind of powerful demons and dragons will appear in the future.
But it's too good to be true. As Sitri gazed at the dragon carcass with a bit of reluctance, Liz called out to him from above his shoulder.

'Sito, there's a bunch of demons coming from over there, what should we do?

'A bunch of demons? Dragons?'

Liz stared at the group that had appeared in the distance. The group was a mixture of various demons. There were subhuman demons and demonic beasts, all running away as if they had been eaten by bubbles.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

A land dragon is a dragon that can't fly, which is unusual for a dragon. Its wings are deteriorating, but its body is instead large and the weight of each blow is heavy.
They are probably being hunted by indigenous demons. Dragons and demons do not share a symbiotic relationship, and dragons, which often stand at the top of the local ecosystem, are natural enemies of non-humans as well. If a dragon, which usually does not leave its territory, suddenly jumps out of it, the place will be in chaos. Even if the demons are normally quiet, if they run out of control, it will be a big disaster.

This is the first phenomenon to be suspected when demons run amok.

'Okay, the sword is coming this time. I'll ...... slay it!

At that time, Citry, who had a thoughtful expression on his face, clapped his hands and said.

'Luke, please only slay the dragon. Don't slay the demons.

'Hmm? Oh? Why not?

'Kry-san told me that he doesn't want any more dragons, but he didn't tell me that he doesn't want any more demons.

He went to the trouble of handing me a message saying he didn't want any more dragons. I guess he wants everything but dragons.
Citri, who has known you for a long time, understands.

In the event that you've got any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, we'll be happy to assist.

'............ I see, I understand. It's a good idea. I'm not sure what to do. Just the dragon, cut. Okay. Just the dragon. Only dragons to slay. ...... Yeah, good training.





It's funny ...... the curse must have worked but the dragon never came.
The escort's journey was peaceful. There was not a cloud in the sky and no dragon in sight.

The events of yesterday were unexpected for the man, but this was the first time he had experienced a dragon not attacking him.
The effect of the dragon sucking curse is to attract dragons living in the vicinity. In some cases, there is a time lag before the dragon attacks, but this time it was too late.
There was no way to show how upset they were. The emperor's group was now nervous because of yesterday's incident. They're probably considering the possibility that there's a traitor inside. In the first place, there's no way to be sure of the outcome of the curse.

That man--the Thousand Transformations--was not nearby. He volunteered to serve as the Lord and kept his distance from the Emperor's carriage.
I had no idea what he was thinking. If he was a bodyguard, it was natural for him to side with the Emperor. There were knights guarding the carriage, so he couldn't be at close range, but he didn't understand why he had to move back.

Now, the Emperor was defenseless. The incompetent knights around him didn't realize that the man was an enemy.
The man can fight without the sucking dragon curse. He would not act on such impulse, but it would not be impossible for him to assassinate the Emperor if his life depended on it. Among the guards, the only ones that he is sure to be no match for in terms of pure combat ability are Stop Water and Thousand Transformations.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the actions of the Chosen One, who is known for his devious schemes. Depending on the situation, we may need to change our plan.

At that moment, a loud voice came from the front.

'Demons! A pack of demons is coming! There are so many of them, all of you, be alert! Protect the wagon!

What's ? What the heck is ......?
That's impossible. The curse is only supposed to attract dragons. This can't be the work of a man.

I quickly check behind me. The man who was supposed to be the lord was nowhere to be seen.
