You're having a good fight with the behemoths...?
Who the hell is that young man?

　These S-ranked adventurers, who had fled for their lives from Behemoth, were stunned by the dimensionally different battle that was unfolding far away.

''He's a swordsman?''
But he's also using magic!　And I'm flying through the air with wind magic!
So what's this about a wizard?
''I don't know how a dexterous wizard can use a sword like that!
Even magic can't do that!

The Knight King, the Magic King, the Thief King, the Thief King, and the Great Saints, all of whom are at the highest level, but I have no idea what that young man's occupation is.
　I tried to think of all the occupations I could find, but none of them fit the bill.

''I mean, in the first place, no matter what kind of occupation you have, you can't imitate that kind of inhumanity!

　The slightest movement of this mythical mountain of monsters could cause earthquakes and storms.
　It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a natural disaster itself.

　A young man of at most twenty years of age is fighting against such a monster all by himself.

　But then.
　As soon as the behemoths opened their mouths to the limit, the young man was sucked into it.

''Ha!''

　Even their bodies, which are probably more than ten kilometers away, are almost taken away from me.
　It's an unbelievable intake of energy.

'Ah!'
Are you sure you're not going to get swallowed up?

　The young man, as expected, couldn't stand it.
　He disappeared into the behemoth's mouth.

　Behemoth closes his mouth.

''Was he eaten...?

　Unable to do anything but stand there, they could only stand there.

　Behemoth sat there, satisfied that he had dealt with the young man and felt good about it.
　But all of a sudden, a strange change occurred.

''~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!

　The behemoth began to suffer.
　He fell to the earth on his side with a roar of Zudo-Onk, and he writhed in agony, swinging his limbs around.
　A sandstorm broke out.

''He's suffering like crazy, huh?
What's going on...?

　Buh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
　Buh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
　Buh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

""Ohhhhhhhh!"

　This time the behemoths began to breathe heavily, and it became a shockwave that littered the plains.
　Here and there, large demons were blown away, and they too flew through the air.

　Buh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
　Buh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
　Buh-oh-oh-oh-oh!

　The behemoths are rolling around with a thud, suffering and exhaling again and again.
　The Great Plains are no longer a hellish place due to a moving natural disaster.

　Eventually--

...and it's gone quiet...?

　Four men and women crawled out of a gaping hole in the plains fearfully.
　This is a hole that the "Magic King" made a spur-of-the-moment decision to use explosive magic to open up a hole for refuge.
　Furthermore, by using the warding magic used by the Great Saints, they somehow survived this catastrophe.

''Behemoth is falling down...''
Is he dead?
No....

　The huge body of the behemoth was lying on its side.
　Its body was moving up and down slightly, so it must still be alive.

''Oh, hey!　Look over there.........!
Wha...?

　What they saw then was that young man forcibly prying open the closed mouth of the behemoth and coming out of it without a care in the world.


　　　　◆ ◆ ◆ ◆


　When I was eaten by the behemoth, I was indeed in a hurry.

　But if you think about it, attacking and defeating such a huge demon from within the body is a familiar development in heroic tales.
　In fact, the behemoth was also far more fragile on the inside than the outside, which was protected by hard, rock-like skin.

　I slashed at the wall of flesh with my sword and fired a series of magic.
　I flailed around inside the behemoth's body as much as I could.

　The behemoths seemed to have started to ramp up in the middle, and their bodies began to spin around in circles.
　Thanks to this, I crashed into the flesh wall and was exposed to powerful digestive juices.

　In the middle of the process, I lost my blessings and started to take damage normally, but I used my healing magic to overcome that.
　It's a good thing I've mastered white magic.

　The behemoth seemed to try to spit me out, but I went into the back of its throat and avoided it.
　It was now a game of who would make the sound first, but it seemed that Behemoth had reached his limit first.
　As my body calmed down, I pried my mouth open and walked out.

　The behemoth was slumped over, looking limp.

'Hmm. Is he alive?
...dead.

　It seems to be alive.

　This seems to make slavery magic work.
　When I used it, the behemoth's huge body glowed for a moment, and branding-like letters were engraved on its body.

''Looks like you succeeded.''
I'm sorry.

Training is a success.

"What kind of training is this?

　I think I heard some kind of tsk tsk tsk from Matty, but it must have been my imagination.

　For now, I'll use my healing magic to heal Behemoth's wounds.
　Since it's large, its magic power has been depleted in the process, but the rest will be healed quickly with the life force it has.

　And that's when I realized a serious problem.

''It's good that you made him a follower, but he's this big. Wouldn't it be impossible for them to even enter the city?

　It was over three hundred meters long.

Hm. No problem.

　Immediately after, the behemoth's body began to shrink rapidly.

''Hm, you can do this?''
