The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" was relaxing in the crater of the volcano, sensing Yugan's approach.

　A fencer with terrifying agility.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　According to the report from the wyvern that had gone out to scout, this was the characteristic of the approaching enemy.

Grand Fafnir" looked around at the sleeping servants around him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There must be a hundred of them, and if the "Grand Fafnir" shouts, they will wake up and join him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, is that enough preparation against an enemy with divine agility?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

If the "Fafnir" and other "Fire Dragons" become a wall of flesh and cover the ground, they may be able to prevent Yugan's agility, but they will still have to take a beating.

After pondering for a while, the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" dipped a dull-colored jewel called the "Dragon Core," wolf bone and flesh, and dragon scales in magma, smearing them with its own blood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After a while, a monster with dragon scales, wolf fangs, and supple limbs crawled up from the magma.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A new breed of dragon tribe specialized in agility was born.

　After running through the barren lands and reaching the gray expanse of ground where the "Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir)" was at its knees, Yugan felt his sixth sense sounding a warning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Oh no!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was an intuition that only someone who has been through many a rough patch could have developed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That intuition was telling us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The enemy that awaits us ahead is not only the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A new threat awaits us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（If we go now, we will be killed for sure!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, the enemy is not only "Grand Fafnir" and his servants.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if he manages to escape from them, Yugan will have to run through the "Wasteland" alone afterwards, and he will also have to fight against bandits after the "Metal Line".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is hard to believe that he can survive such a tough battle with "Grand Fafnir" and his status after the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thinking about it, Yugan turned around and headed back the way he came like a hare.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" felt the approaching threat leaving.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seemed to have sensed our movement just in time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

While tilting his head to the side, he decided to unleash the new species of dragon he had just created and send it after Yugan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Equipped with the legs of a wolf and the scales of a dragon, the monster, with its extraordinary leg strength, climbed up the cliff-like crater in the blink of an eye and chased after Yugan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At the ore mining site, the second-in-command of the "Knight of the Crescent Moon" was asked to explain to the local adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They had found out that Yugan was not here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He was not there. Explain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why hasn't Yugan shown up?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please calm down," he said. Yugan will be back soon. He is never very far away."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then tell me. Where did Yugan go?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can't ...... tell you that. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Why can't you tell me? It's crazy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You don't mean to tell me that one of you escaped from this place, do you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not kidding. Without Yugan, this alliance would be a raven. What are you going to do on your way back?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Please remain calm. We will ensure your safety.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The deputy was fed up and quieted the local adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Not at all. You're useless, but you're always making demands. Yugan is Yugan. He's just like Yugan, going ahead by himself in a situation like this.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The deputy's concern was not only about upsetting the local guilds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The young members of the "Knights of the Crescent Moon" were also annoyed by the attitude of the local adventurers, and there was no hiding their growing irritation, with many of them swearing openly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If things continued as they were, a clash was only a matter of time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The deputy glanced toward the summit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Five days had already passed since Yugan had headed for the summit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If all went well, it would not be surprising if they encountered the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)," but there was no sign of a clash between the S-class monster and the S-class adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(What in the world is going on, Yugan? You don't mean to tell me that you've been hit, do you?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While the deputy was worrying like this, a black shadow with a cloud of dust was approaching us from above at a high speed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was Yugan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yugan!　Thank God. You are safe."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The deputy's joy was short-lived, but his face immediately hardened.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan's face is sweaty and he's out of breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The look on his face was that of someone who had escaped death with all his might.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry," he said. I'm sorry I made you wait.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, it's more than that. Are you all right?　That ...... doesn't look too good."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm fine. But we'll be leaving soon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I, Grand Fafnir's servant, am following him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I'm a servant of "Grand Fafnir"?　Besides "Grand Fafnir" and his subordinate "Fafnir," are there any other powerful enemies that still need to be defeated?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Probably a monster equivalent to a class A. It's a bit of a challenge to deal with them while fighting with the bandits."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（I was naive. (I was naive to think that I could defeat the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" all by myself. It is not an opponent that can be defeated by a single person.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

We are always ready to go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I see. Then let's hurry.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The alliance, joined by Yugan, hurriedly packed their bags and began to descend the mountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soon after, the bandits set up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle unfolded similarly to the previous one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First, the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" attacked, to which the "Knight of the Crescent Moon" responded.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　From the opposite side, bandit archers fired arrows, and the local guild took up the defense.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the local adventurers catches a falling arrow with his shield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Heh heh. No matter how many arrows they shoot at us, they can't damage us at this distance. Just keep your shield up and Yugan will take care of the rest. It's an easy job. Hmm?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As he looked through the gap in his shield toward the enemy, he saw a glint of magic light shimmering between the archers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Immediately, a flaming bullet flies toward him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They pierce his shield and shatter his armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Gghhhhhhhh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The warrior was severely damaged and sprawled on the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The ore in his possession was scattered on the spot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is it? What was that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No way!　The Dragoon's Baskets!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'll be right back. I hit it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Zain, the attack mage with the "Dragoon" fitted in his arm, smiled as he saw his fireball hit the enemy Warrior.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How's it working?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil asks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's good," Jamil asks. Raul did a great job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The power seems to be perfect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil said as he looked at the sprawling Alliance Warrior.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zain's "Dragoon" may not be powerful enough to shoot down a "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" in a single blow like Sein's "Dragoon", but it is powerful enough to shoot through the shields and armor of C-class warriors like the many in the alliance. It was enough to cause damage.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Good. Cut them down one by one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Roger that!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once again, the "Dragoon's Baskets" erupted with fire.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This time, it blew away another Warrior's shield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Alliance was in an uproar.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ow!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You've got to be kidding me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The 'dragon-headed cage hand'? I never heard of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They visibly become agitated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Move!"　I'll go."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan jumped out of the line of local adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（He kills the dragon-headed cage-wearer!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The thieves were quick to react.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yugan is here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Concentrate your attacks."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A hail of arrows rains down on Yugan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan flicked the arrows with his sword and pushed forward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil senses a faint discomfort in Yugan's appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Jamil felt a slight discomfort in Yugan's condition. Is he losing his agility?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Zain. Shoot Yugan."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmm?"　I thought my role was to crush the shield-bearer?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'd like to try a few things."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hmmm. Well, okay. There we go.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mixed in with the hail of arrows, a flaming bullet was fired at Yugan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Haaaaaaaaah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan cut down the flaming bullet with his magic sword, Granir, in a single blow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Geez. He cut down the flame magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The power of the magic sword is still alive and well. It can't be helped. Let's take a break.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil and Zain turned their backs to the battlefield and fled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not going to let them get away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan chased after Zain and Jamil with all his might, but the disarmed bandits stood in his way.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Mr. Yugan. We surrender.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Take me prisoner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Get out of the way!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan kicked away the surrenderers who clung to him, but the attack mage equipped with the "dragon-headed basket hand (dragoon)" had already disappeared from the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（An attack mage with high agility? d*mn. That's nasty.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan stopped and felt his legs getting heavier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(d*mn. (d*mn, all that speeding up and down the mountain must have taken a toll on him.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Looks like we're spread out."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zain spoke to Jamil, checking behind him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, looks like the 'prisoner of war' guys did their job properly."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But that Yugan guy is slower than last time, isn't he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You've lost some of your agility, but only a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I wondered what he was doing after he stopped moving for 5 days, but I guess he was in some kind of trouble. But then, ......, kukk. Maybe I can finish off Double S's Yugan with my own hands).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" attacks the alliance descending the mountain again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This time, it came from the left side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Fafnir" from the left!　(...... means the bandit is on the right!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan jumps over the formation and runs to the right side before the enemy can fire an arrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He identifies a good vantage point from which to fire, and sure enough, he sees the enemy emerge from there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(They keep repeating the same attack like a bunch of idiots. I won't get hit so many times!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But what came flying was not a hail of arrows, but countless iron spikes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(?　(What's this?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the size of a nut, with spines extending in four directions as if forming a triangular pyramid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Yugan swung his sword to test it, the iron spikes were easily blown away by the pressure of the sword and fell to the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hah. Do you think you can damage me with this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan did not care and continued on his way, but the bandits, being bandits, did not care and continued scattering iron spikes all over the area.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（What are these guys?　You should know that you can't damage me by throwing these things, right? Not only that, they throw it in the most misguided direction. What on earth are you doing ......? (Ugh)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan stopped when he felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When he looked, he saw that an iron spike had pierced it and blood was flowing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Don't tell me this is ...... a Makibishi!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　By the time I realized it, water chestnuts had already been sprinkled all around me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm not going to let you do this!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan tried to blow away the water sprinkled on the ground with his sword pressure, but it did not have much effect.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(Tsk. So he's trying to block our agility with this. No, but ......, won't that prevent the enemy from attacking us?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Contrary to Yugan's prediction, the bandits were approaching us on a leisurely walk over the scattered water chestnuts.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(This is ridiculous. How can they walk on this needle mountain with a nonchalant look on their faces?　No way!)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bandits wore thick-soled shoes with shiny black soles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were equipped with "iron feet," which nullified damage from the scattering water chestnuts and enabled them to advance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bandits with bows and arrows descended the valley and took up positions at close range.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil gloats as he looks down at Yugan from his high vantage point.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Kukk. Now he's as good as a rat in the sack. Shoot arrows and fire magic from all directions!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　An arrow is shot at Yugan, this time at point-blank range.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Tsk."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan tried to move and dodge, but a new makibishi (a diamond-shaped stick) lodged in the sole of his foot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Agh!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The pain in his legs increased and his leg strength was reduced.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（d*mn. My agility is getting worse (......).

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Having no choice, Yugan dealt with the flying arrows and blasts with his sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bandits were shaken.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What the hell? This guy is still defending himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Calm down. Shoot closer. His sword won't reach us anyway.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bandits come closer to shoot arrows at closer range.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But that was already Yugan's time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When Yugan swung his sword, the thieves' bows were destroyed, even though they did not touch the tip of his sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic sword Granir was able to slash at enemies several meters away, where the sword could not reach.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The bandits rush to distance themselves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The thieves hurriedly moved away. Stay away from him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Tsk. That son of a b*tc* can't be killed even with his agility blocked like this?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jamil clicked his tongue.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey, we're in trouble. If we don't do something about it, ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While Yugan was being a handful, the "Knights of the Crescent Moon" were finishing their battle with the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)" on the other side of the river.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If we took any more time, we would invite them to join us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It was no use. Let's give up on Yugan and go after those who are cowering in the back. Send in the Warrior as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

A warrior equipped with "White Wolf" armor, a long spear, and "Iron Legs" passed Yugan and the archers and headed toward the local adventurers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan could only grit his teeth and watch as the enemy Warriors passed right by him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With his agility deprived, it was too risky for even an S-class swordsman to turn his back on the enemy archers and rush to his allies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(This ain't the time to be on the defensive any more)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yugan, prepared to have his legs shaved off, charged into the enemy archer unit while stepping on the makibishi.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Soon after, the two armies were in confusion, and a fierce battle ensued that inflicted tremendous damage on both sides.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Blood splatters and broken pieces of equipment flew about, and screams and shouts of rage echoed through the air, creating a horrific scene.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The alliance and the "White Wolf" fought for several hours, both inflicting considerable damage on the other, but at the end of the battle, both sides saved their strength so as not to be annihilated, and the battle was never settled.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After that, both sides marched down the mountain, with neither having time to bother the other as they covered for their wounded, and both were waiting for the other to make a move.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They eventually returned to the town.
