12-Encounter with a dragon




 By the time we reached the mountainside, the sun was already setting.
 It took me a while to get here. I felt like it was somehow close, but apparently it was rather far away.
 We encountered about ten demons by the time we got here, but we didn't get any more friends because we killed them by going easy on them. It's hard to go easy on them, isn't it?

 I'll have to get the dragons to join us quickly so that Alisa can feel at ease.
 Oh, come to think of it, Arisa said she usually has fifty gold coins, but I wonder if elves have a culture of using money.
 In the first place, if they trade with humans, the location of the hidden village would be exposed. Then why did he say something like fifty gold coins?
 Hmm, I'm slightly troubled, but it doesn't matter if I don't get it.

I think we should be at the top by now.

'Master! It still looks like it's going to take some time!

Bau, have you ever seen a dragon living here?

I don't know!

 Well, it's not that easy to watch, is it? If it were me, it would be like looking at the Emperor.
 Wild Dog probably had a leader figure as well, and he was doing a lot of things under the direction of that leader. It's just that Bau was just an underling.
 Bau, who is on alert while moving his nose around, looks like an ordinary wild dog, but his tone of voice also makes me think he is somehow charming. It's tempting to give him a hand or a sit, but since he can communicate with you in the first place, he doesn't need to be disciplined at all.

''Humph ... master! Something in the air has changed!

"Huh?

'There's the sound of wings! I can hear you buzzing!

Oh, I see. You're aware of my intrusion.

 I haven't encountered any demons since I entered the mountain. In the forest, I encountered them more often than not, but I haven't encountered them at all since I entered this mountain.
 Perhaps this mountain itself is the lair of the dragon. That's why I came in there to intercept them.
 I'd better get this over with before it gets dark.

'Master! I see it! There it is!

Oh, you're pretty big.

 There was a jet-black figure running through the sky, moving the wings on its back.
 The black scales that encompassed its entire body were those that glittered in the sunlight. At the end of its long neck was a vicious mouth full of sharp fangs. Its arms weren't very long, instead its legs were thick and long, and it showed sharp claws.
 If you ask anyone, they will tell you that they are -dragons.

 There are several types of dragons.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're looking for a job. And even among sky dragons, there are individuals whose arms are directly used as wings, and individuals who swim in the sky without wings. I don't know the details of these individuals.
 And the dragon in front of me - that's the most orthodox sky dragon as far as I know.

'Okay ... Bau, get to safety.

Yes, sir! Master! Good luck!

I'm on it.

 The main thing I'm trying to do is to hold back.
 Exhaling heavily with a huff, I cast a spell first, targeting the sky dragon that was flying gracefully in the sky, wary of me.

''【Analysis】''

 Along with the words, a translucent string of letters lines up in front of me.
 It's rude to do it to humans, but it's not restricted to doing it to demons. Rather, by going ahead of them, you can get an advantage in the battle.

 Name: none.
 Occupation: Skydragon level 66
 skill
 Flame emission level 60.
 Bite Level 58.
 Aerial killing level 45.
 Yell level 38.
 Physical resistance level 40.
 Magic resistance level 40

 I see.
 It seems that fire from a distance and biting is the main means of attack at close range.
 So it's dangerous even from a distance. As expected, I don't want to eat the flames either. I don't think you'll die even if you do.

"Dwarf human being. Are you that desperate to die?

...What?

 But...
 The voice comes from the dragon in front of me.
 I can't help but widen my eyes. How can I understand the words of a dragon?

"If you come close, I will take your life. If you are still willing, come.

What? Huh! It's talking!

Ho.....

 I grinned.
 The dragon looked at me in such amazement and twisted its sharp fang-lined mouth.
 Until now, the only people I've been able to hear words from are the demons I've been able to talk to, Milo, Gilanka, Chappie, and Bawoo, who have become my friends. The demons that appeared in front of me as enemies couldn't understand their language.
 That's why I only thought that the skill demon language understanding was something that only the demons who joined me could understand.

''You're a demon user?''

How do you know what I do for a living?

"I am the dragon. I am a dragon, and I have lived long enough to know the old ways. We were only relative in the past, long ago. The only people who understand our language are the witchdoctors.

 In a muffled voice, the dragon speaks.
 Kooky, the dragon lets out a laugh. It's as if it's mocking me.
 I'm not going to be able to get the same thing for you.

"Your beloved subordinates, dwarfed and inert.

What the...?

That's the limit of a demonslayer. He also has a weak family. That's the extent of what a demonslayer can do.

 For some reason, dragons seem to know about demon users.
 I'm not sure why. Aren't dragons and witchcraftsmen related to each other?
 Well, this guy says that he's met you once before, though. I wonder if this wizard I met in the past had any knowledge of my skills. I have no idea.

"Do you know about this? About the Demonslayer.

Of course. It's a good thing that you have the ability to capture demons as a skill, but that is of no use. A skill that has only a two-percent chance of activating against someone higher than your level is not going to be useful.

...What?

That wild dog over there is level 15, right? That's just as well. It's not surprising that the level you were at before you changed jobs as a demon wielder is still your youth. I'm sure that level 15 is the most you can do.

No, no, no.

 There's something terribly wrong with me.
 Why is my level before I changed jobs like 15? I was a normal level of 92.
 What? Is level 92 really that high? Forty levels of the Lil Cara Ruins, I saw a level 91 Guardian Golem and a level 91 Guardian Golem. The Nightlord Wolf was also level 80 or so.

I'm sure they'll join you if you're lower than your level. Hahahahahaha! You are nothing more than a flawed piece of work that only such a small dog can contain!

....

 Let's see.
 I don't give this dragon a hundred percent credit for what he's saying.

 So let's get this straight.
 I'm a level 5 demon user now. Before that I was a level 92 hero. I'm level 97 combined.
 And the level of the occupation I had before I changed jobs is calculated together. This means that in my case, as long as I can kill my enemies, I can join demons up to level 97.
 Furthermore, the highest level demon I've ever encountered is the aforementioned level 91 Guardian Golem.

 That means I can join all kinds of demons.

''........Eh?''

 Hey.
 Aren't I the best?
