104-Episode 23: I changed my mind



Whoa, whoa, whoa!

 The S-ranked adventurers fled in a flash.
 But in the next moment, the behemoth slammed his right paw into the ground.

 

""What?!"

 A light foot stamp.
 But if it was unleashed from the super weight of millions of tons.

 Goggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggoggg!

 The earth shook violently.
 It was so bad that even the S-ranked adventurers couldn't stand.
 They rolled on the ground pathetically and were not even allowed to escape.

''Hm. ''The end.''

 The behemoth raised its paws again.
 A huge shadow covers the adventurers' heads.

''Hi, hi........''
I'm going to die here...

 The soles of their feet seem to be able to lightly trample down even a dragon.
 As they watched it approach, they prepared to die.

 That was the time.

 

?

 With a tremendous roar, the behemoth's right front leg, which was about to be swung straight down to the ground, suddenly changed its trajectory.
 The one that was stepped down was just a few meters away from the adventurers.

''Ahhhh!''

 The impact had blown them up like scraps of paper, but they had escaped death.

'Who are you?'

 The behemoth turned its gaze on the new intruder.

''Hmm. I'm not sure if it's a mythical behemoth. I'm sure it's worth training.


    ◇ ◇ ◇


 Suddenly, a huge rock began to move.
 When I got close enough, a group of four men were attacked.

'It wasn't a rock?'

 I thought it was a huge rock, but it seems to be a demon.
 Judging from its huge body and hippopotamus-like appearance, it was probably a behemoth, a mythical grade demon.

 When that behemoth slammed its paws into the ground, that alone caused a massive earthquake.
 I couldn't run on the ground with this.
 I immediately jumped up into the air with my green magic.

 However, the adventurers who were trying to escape were properly affected by the vibrations and pulled back.
 As if trying to further toss them, Behemoth now raised his paws above their heads.

 If he was trampled by that kind of super-weight, the last thing he would do was lose all of his blessings in an instant and die.

"'Flying Blade' x 30.

 I swung my sword with all my might as I flew through the air.

 

"A series of 'flying blade' shots hit the behemoth's huge right front leg.
 It somehow deflected its trajectory and was swung down right next to the adventurers.

'So that's about it for 30 rounds? That's as good as it gets.

 I thought that one or two shots would only be enough to snatch the surface of my leg at most, so I fired in rapid succession, but it was still enough to move one of my front legs a few meters.

''Who are you?''

 As I flew closer, I heard a mysterious voice.

'Hmm, you can talk to me?'

 As expected of a mythical demon.

What the hell happened...?
We're alive...?

 Then a bewildered voice comes from the ground.
 It's the adventurers from earlier.

'We'd better get out of here.

 I advise them.

"Oh, you are?
Hey, it's not safe! This is a behemoth!

 Then, for some reason, he warned me back.

'Hmm, he's talking to me right now,'

 Behemoth muttered, as if he didn't like the fact that humans were communicating with each other.

"Hmph.

 He let out a snort.
 Of course, it was different in dimension from human snorting.

''Uh-oh!''

 A gust of wind blew the adventurers away again.

'I've changed my mind. Go away quickly.'

It's...
Hey, hey, he's letting us go!
What about the boy?
Leave it alone!

 The adventurers scurry away.
 Behemoth quickly loses interest and turns his huge eyes on me.

''Leg, it hurts.''
'Hmm, I'm sorry about that. Otherwise, my people would have died.
"My body is so hard. It's been a long time since I've had a scar.

 There were countless cracks running through the area where my "flying blade" thirty consecutive shots had been fired.
 The deepest point where these cracks had overlapped each other must have been gouged out at least a meter deep.

 However, considering the behemoth's enormous size, it wasn't a serious wound.

''Who are you? High demon race? An old dragon in human form?

 Who's going to do what again?

It's a human being.
Lies. It's beyond human dimensions.

 That's what I'm talking about.
 My mom and dad are pure people.

I don't care. That's why I'm here, of all places. To become a demon trainer, I have to turn a few more demons into my followers.
....
What do you think? Will you be my squire?

 I asked him, and the behemoth was silent for a moment.

"No.
Why?
'That's my line. Why would you want to be a human squire? There are plenty of demons around. You can catch the ones you like.'
''I heard it's true that any demon is fine........ But I'd rather have a strong demon anyway.
"No.

 Hmm, I don't think it's going to be that easy.

 I've got a long way to go.
 I don't have the skills to train them.
 But like all skills, with training, you can learn to do without it.

 From now on, you'll have to train your behemoths in front of you.

The master is still mad as ever to try to do this with a mythical monster.

 Well, the worst thing you can do is to weaken them and then force them to become submissive demons with slavery magic, as was the case with Matty and Pluru.
