　Having lost sight of Yugan, the "Fang Dragon" wanders the "Volcano Dungeon" in search of new prey.

　After all, he is a puppet created from a corpse by "Grand Fafnir," a giant fire dragon.

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

　He was doomed to decay in a few days.

　Then, at the very least, he wanted to kill someone, an adventurer, for the last time.

　Wandering around the dungeon, he found the perfect people for the job.

Fang Dragon turned on his heel and rushed to them.

　Monica watched the battle between the Crescent Moon Knights and the White Wolves with "Hawk-Eye.

(Thank God. Mr. Yugan will be able to return to the city somehow.)

　At Roland's suggestion, I kept my distance from the battle between the Alliance and the bandits as much as possible, but inwardly, I was worried that Yugan might be killed.

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

　Even though they were from different guilds, they had fought together at least once.

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

　I wanted him to be safe.

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

(Even so, the bandits were stronger than I had expected. I can't believe they were able to hunt down Mr. Yugan to that level. It's not like we have outstanding adventurers, but they are used to fighting against other people. (Maybe I should report this to Mr. Roland.)

　As Monica tried to switch her "Hawk-Eye" viewpoint, she saw a shadow approaching her at high speed.

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

（What?　What's this?)

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

　Monica hurriedly tried to supplement the shadow, but it was too fast for her to grasp its true identity.

(A monster with extraordinary agility!　(coming this way)

　Monica looked back at Leon and the others.

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

　They had just finished their training and were taking a breather.

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

　Their status was completely depleted.

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

　If they got into a fight now, they would not be able to hold back.

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

Gentlemen, hurry up and pack your bags. A powerful enemy is coming!

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

　Monica, "Shield of Dawn," and the group of "Heavenly Horse Arrows" were hurrying down the mountain.

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

d*mn it. What the hell are you doing here all of a sudden?

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

I thought the battle between the 'Crescent Moon Knights' and the 'White Wolves' was happening behind the mountain?"

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

Yes, it should be, but ......, an unidentified monster is approaching. I didn't see anything like this on the list of monsters in 'The Volcano Dungeon.'"

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

Is the enemy that strong?

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

Yes. Probably a class-A equivalent.

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

　Monica said as she checked the enemy's position with her "Hawk-Eye.

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

（No. I can't shake it off. They'll catch up with us if we don't.)

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

Monica. Can't we fight?"

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

　Hans said.

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'm familiar with your fighting skills. We've trained for the past few days, and I'm sure we've gotten stronger. Even though we are strong opponents, there is nothing we can't do, is there?"

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

　Monica looked up at the members.

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

(Surely everyone has gone through Mr. Roland's menu and gotten stronger; they're all capable of being the equivalent of Class B.) But ......, there is no commander! Can I fight in this state when everyone is worn out?)

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

　Monica often hesitated.

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

　But there was no other choice.

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

I understand. Let's fight.

(An encounter is inevitable anyway. (An encounter is inevitable anyway, and if we don't make up our minds soon, it will be too late.)

　Monica and her team chose an easy-to-fight location and set up an intercept position.

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

　They took up a position on a narrow road with a slope on the right and a sheer cliff on the left.

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

　The plan was to fire at the enemy who came along the path.

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

The plan was to shoot at the enemy who came along the road. The enemy is a very agile monster. If we get into close combat, it will be troublesome. Fortunately, we have five archers. We can use our bow fire to inflict damage at the beginning of the encounter to gain the upper hand in the fight."

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

　Monica said to herself, questioning her idea.

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

(What if they dodge the first blow?　And what about after that?　(Is it really okay to fight this way against a Class A opponent?)

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

　But there was no time to think about it now.

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

The enemy will soon appear from the other side of the road. Everyone, take your arrows. Those of you in white combat gear, please stand firm in the rear.

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

　Soon after, the "Fang Dragon" appeared with a cloud of dust.

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

What is this thing?　I've never seen anything like it.

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

A wolf?　No, a dragon?"

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

Jeff and Claire, who were the first to catch sight of the enemy using their "far vision," could not hide their confusion at the sight of the "Fang Dragon.

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

They were in range. Everyone, fire!

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

　Five arrows are released at once.

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

　However, the "Fang Dragon" increased its speed even more, dodged all the arrows, and ran down the cliff.

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

(Fast!)

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

　As it is, "Fang Dragon" uses the bushes under the cliff as a shield to get behind Monica and her friends.

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

It's coming from behind! Get ready!"

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

　All of them pouted.

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

　The enemy had just run down the cliff.

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

　What was Monica saying?

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

　Monica pushes Elio out of the way and moves to the rear of the line.

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

　Immediately, the "Fang Dragon" ran up the cliff and jumped in behind the group.

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

（Watch your arrows ......, you won't make it!

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

The "Fang Dragon" opens its big mouth and tries to bite me.

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

　Monica quickly let go of her bow and crossed her arms in front of her face to catch it.

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

The fangs of the "Fang Dragon" bite into Monica's arm.

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

As soon as "Fang Dragon" lands on the ground, it immediately accelerates and starts running again.

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

　Monica immediately got up as well.

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

　Blood drips lazily from her arm.

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

Ha, ha."

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

(Arm strength (power) is ...... not that high. I specialize in speed. It's as if it was born to catch adventurers with high agility (agility), such a monster ......)

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

　My arm throbbed and I frowned.

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

(I defended myself as quickly as I could, but my status ...... was shaved off.)

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

　Monica looked around with "Hawk-Eye.

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

　There was flat land all around.

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

(Have we been dragged into a big place?) Monica looked around with her "Hawk-Eye". I guess the one with high agility has an advantage.

Monica!　Are you okay?"

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

　Hans calls out from the cliff.

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

Stay where you are!

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

　Monica stopped Hans and the others who were trying to come down.

Give me the bow!　Quickly!"

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

　Hans throws his bow toward Monica.

（I can't lead after all. I'll think of a way to fight alone.)

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

　Monica checked the position of the "Fang Dragon".

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

　It moved away a little, but it was coming toward us again.

The "Fang Dragon" approached us at high speed.

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

　Monica tries to stand in its path.

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

　But then she heard a piercing cry in the sky.

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

（"No way!)

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

A swarm of "Fafnir" appeared in the sky.

　One of them tries to release a breath of fire.

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

　Monica turned around and shot down the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)".

　However, while she was in the middle of it, "Fang Dragon" slashed Monica's shoulder with its claw and ran away.

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

　Monica staggers, but manages to stay on her feet and tries to fight back.

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

　But by then, the remaining Fafnir had fled into the shadows of the mountains, and the Fang Dragon had fled into the shadows of the thicket.

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

Monica. Are you okay?"

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

I'm fine. Don't worry about it.

　Even as she said this, Monica's complexion did not look good.

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

(They attacked from the air and the ground, as if they were trying to show us. They are communicating and working together. I knew that new species is a dragon tribe. But what do we do?　We can't afford to get hit by the breath of fire. If we don't do anything, we'll just be slowly being whittled away. Think about it. What would Roland-san do?)

　The "Fire Dragons (Fafnir)," angered by being interrupted in their attack, come toward Will.

Will: "Brother. Fafnir" is coming. Let's use 'blast magic' to kill them.

I'm not sure what to say. That's a good idea, but if we shoot them down at this position, we might get that archer's daughter (ko) involved. Nicolas, you've got to do something here.

Yes, yes, yes. Excuse me for a moment.

The Fang Dragon reaches the top of the ground raised by the crust magic and leaps carelessly toward Monica, drifting slowly in the air for a moment.

　According to the report from the deputy, the ore procurement rate is 70 percent.

If we provide it to "Dragon's Fires," we will have to start all over again.

　Would it be possible to defeat the "Giant Fire Dragon (Gran Fafnir)" while collecting the ore in the last dungeon search?

（It's absurd. There is a hidden ball in Grand Fafnir that we haven't seen yet. I bet the "White Wolf" will take even more countermeasures next time.)

Hello. Hey, there.

"An?"

　A stranger approached Yugan as he was pondering.

　He looked like a warrior carrying a halberd.

What are you?

I am Gilbert, a member of the northern adventurers' guild "Knights of the Hare. Excuse me, but you are Yugan of the "Knights of the Crescent Moon," aren't you?　Are you having trouble with ore by any chance?　If that's the case, I have some good news for you."

What?　What's the story?

They are after a guild called The Shield of Dawn and The Arrow of Heavenly Horses.

The Shield of Dawn and the Arrow of Heavenly Horses?

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

Yes. They have a lot of ore in their warehouse in town, so if you defeat them in the dungeon and take them hostage, you can get a lot of ore.

　Yugan looked quizzical.

("Shield of Dawn" and "Arrow of Heavenly Horse"?　(Never heard of it.)

Hey. You know what?　The Shield of Dawn and the Arrow of Heavenly Horses.

　Yugan spoke to a local guild member who was following him.

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

He said, "Yes. I know of it, but... Well, it's a small, insignificant guild. I can't believe they have such a large amount of ore. ......"

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

Just a small guild, huh? Hey. What do you mean, Gilbert? You're not telling the truth, are you?

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

　Yugan snapped.

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

No, but, sir. They will certainly be a threat to the 'Knights of the Crescent Moon. After all, they are the most evil people who have risen to power through pickpocketing, treachery, and bribery.

　Yugan frowned.

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

(What the hell is this guy?　You're suddenly changing the subject. You're so shady.

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

You may not know this, but I do. If you are a yakuza on this island, you can make a lot of money. It is even possible to own a lot of ore.

"Oh, oh."

　Yugan sensed that there was something wrong with Gilbert, so he did not approach him any further.

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

　He told his second-in-command not to listen to the man with the halberd.

　Later, Yugan tried to procure ore in the city, but with no success.

(It can't be helped. (In this case ......)

　Yugan decided to make a decision.

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

　Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the "Knights of the Crescent Moon" secretly headed to the port to load the ore they had procured onto a ship.

　Then, they left the island on the first morning boat.

（It is impossible to defeat the "Giant Fire Dragon (Grand Fafnir). I'd rather go home than be at the mercy of the "Dragon's Fires" and the "White Wolves" any longer. (We haven't achieved the guild's quota, but it's still better than going home empty-handed.)

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

　The people were stunned by the sudden departure of the "Knight of the Crescent Moon," but the crescent flag was removed from the inn later that day.

　The islanders were again disappointed by the adventurers' guild from the outside.
