Ways to Slay Dragons Gently

Although it was heading towards the capital of the new circle, Ulan Boke suddenly felt a strong yin energy coming from the northeast on the way, so the group had to temporarily change their route and go there first to find it.

It was a medium-sized walled city, ruled by the trusted younger brother of the new king.

The city was built on the delta at the confluence of two rivers, and people gathered here to form a city because it was convenient for defense.In addition, it is located at a water transportation hub, and the trade is quite developed.

Many people were attracted to this dynamic city and settled outside the city walls to form settlements.However, people living outside the city are not recognized as citizens, and they will not be protected even if they are attacked by the enemy. However, they also have the advantage of not paying taxes for transactions.

Not only the sale of goods, hotels and inns also have very low prices because they do not have to pay taxes.Citizens with little income in the city will also specially go outside the city to purchase.There are also many people who will come to the hotel to have a good drink, and even have to live outside the city after drinking the threshold time.In addition to them, pedestrians with little travel expenses will also choose to stay overnight in small inns outside the city.

After Ulan Boke and others arrived here during the day, they found a hotel to stay overnight.Everyone unloaded their luggage, and each found a suitable reason to enter the city to collect information.

Needless to say, a boy who always left others behind was of course strictly forbidden to act alone.So the group returned to this place before the city gate was closed, and divided into three groups—Ulan Pok and Yakenjel, Gais and Crotia, and Doma alone—and acted separately.

Thomas was the last to come back, and when he got back to the inn it was already eight o'clock in the evening, just a quarter before the city gates closed.In the restaurant on the first floor, he happened to meet Gass and Crotia who were going back to their room after eating.

"It's really late, have you eaten in the city? Ulan Pok and Yake are already waiting upstairs." The three of them went upstairs together and held a meeting in the men's big room.

"I got some useful information, but it's up to Kid Ulan to find out where the Eudemons are. Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Thomas chaired the meeting sitting at the edge of one of the beds.The boy who was sitting next to him suddenly got up silently, and moved to Yakenjel who was sitting on the other bed.

"You smell like a woman, perfume, makeup and sweat."

"I see. Did Thomas go to a brothel to collect information? I really can't stand it." Hearing the boy's slight criticism, the ascetic young paladin frowned his beautifully shaped eyebrows.

The 15-year-old girl's reaction was even more violent.

"It's bad! Why are men like this? How can you not control your lower body when you have to cheer up before a big job!"

"Okay, okay, he is still young. And he has been in a state of abstinence during the journey, and it is necessary to relax before this kind of life-threatening work." Gase persuaded in a steady tone, screaming with a flushed face girl.

Anyway, Thomas, who is just a layman, deeply understands the overwhelming disadvantage of his current position.What he faced was a kid, a little girl, a monk, and a former paladin who were all dragons.

"Hey, that place is crowded with people from all walks of life. Even soldiers who are not on duty in the city will go there, and their minds are loose with prostitutes. If you want to inquire about things in the city, where else can you go? And I don't know. Go, who of you can go? Your words will be suspected instead."

"Don't say it so nicely, if all I get is nonsense information, I won't talk to you again--then where is the Eudemons? It's really in the castle?" The boy who was asked by Crotia nodded , Yakenjar spread out a map of the city that was sold as a souvenir.

In the upper reaches between the two converging rivers, there is the castle of the prince who ruled the city. The castle is built on a steep rock wall, which can be said to be a natural fortress, and has a separate city wall.

"The castle is the main form of the city, but the castle itself is located outside the city. This structure is very interesting." Gase said looking at the map.

Taking the confluence of the river as the center, on the right side of the upstream is the Temple of the Four Gods and the university and hospital built around the temple, and on the left is the city hall and the business district.The downstream delta directly opposite the castle is where the port, warehouses and workers gather.

The cities are connected to each other by several bridges, but the bridge connecting the castle and the city is the only bridge leading to the temple.

Yakenjel pointed to the bridge with his slender fingers and said, "If you cross the bridge in the middle of the night, you will definitely encounter armed sentries. It seems that you have to find a boat somewhere first, and then approach the castle overnight."

"I've been to the castle. It's built on a cliff that's almost perpendicular to the river. How do we go up?"

"Leave it to me." Crotia asked a question of course, but Ulan Pok simply answered, and the girl simply handed it over to him. "Ah, yes, please--and about the boat, it would be too conspicuous if we went up the river from the city, so it would be better to go upriver."

"From the perspective of not being suspected and avoiding the pursuit of soldiers, you can only use stealing." Gass cautiously raised the opinion that monks should not say.In order to eliminate the man-eating phantom beasts, the four-phase god should forgive such a trivial matter--it is really difficult to judge whether his thinking is wrong.

From the very beginning, Thomas was busy drawing pictures on a piece of old cloth.The girl leaned over to look at the cloth covered with lines and ink blobs.

"Oh, is this the castle?"

"Ah, I asked about the structure of the castle and the configuration of night guards, so I wanted to draw it and explain it to you. Hey, don't look at it suspiciously, but just to understand the situation, simply draw a few strokes. Enough."

"How do you know this!"

"Didn't I say that? There are a lot of people who like to go to brothels, and some regular customers are very loose with prostitutes, and there are also men in the hotel who can't stand the treats and flattery, and talk about everything."

The young former paladin smiled wryly and pointed out to Crotia who was listening admiringly: "Don't take it too seriously. As long as you have this meaning, Thomas can seem to be able to use magic. He is a famous person who induces others to confess. Pretend. To become a kind man, so that people do not have the consciousness of revealing secrets, as long as others are happy to hear it, they will say anything. Blessed by Todoma's espionage ability, there are times when the work is easily completed."

"Oh! Is that so?"

"It's okay, I'm a guy who has been a mercenary since he was 15 and knows the way of life. It's just that he can live in harmony with the people around him and enjoy himself wherever he goes."

"If you don't have the talent, you can't do it at all. It's amazing. A mercenary with an alias is not just good at it. I want to get to know you again. You are reliable."

"Don't talk about it." The girl's straightforward praise made the strong man feel extremely embarrassed.Gus and the young man smiled and looked at the two of them.

The wind blowing across the river was cold, but no one complained about it.Guess, who was rowing with Thomas, changed from the monk's cloak to the easy-to-move martial arts uniform.Yakenjal also no longer wears paladin hairstyles.

Yake, who voluntarily left the sect, did not say anything, but the monks of the four-phase gods in active duty sneaked into the castle of the king's brother like thieves. Once discovered, it would damage the face of the sect.Naturally, there will also be adverse effects on the relationship between the new circle and the order.

Because Ghaith cast the magic of muting sound and blinding eyes, even the sound of oars and water will not come out when paddling.Once they reached the still area next to their target, they rowed the boat towards the rock face.Yakenzel handed the rope with the hook attached to the front to the boy who stood up.

While Crotia was still wondering how to throw this thing up, the boy spread black wings behind his back.

"...!" The girl almost screamed out and broke the silence magic, Ghaith quickly covered her mouth.

Although he didn't cry, it was the first time he saw the boy flapping his wings and flying in the air, and Thomas also widened his eyes, watching the boy who flew up.The figure of the boy in black clothes and black hair soon melted into the night and disappeared.

Ulan Boke landed silently on the brick city wall and folded its wings.The soldiers on watch on the castle battlements paid no attention to him.He quickly fixed the iron hook on a corner of the city wall, and then wound the rope a few times. After making sure that he would not send it away, the young man signaled to his comrades below, and then ran to the nearest battlement.He knocked down the soldiers by surprise, and in a fraction of the time.

It is meaningless to wait here for the companions to climb up the rope, it is better to get rid of the guards of the other battlements as well, the young man thought, but at this moment he instinctively sensed the "danger".Feeling that the power of the Wind Spirit was about to be activated, he immediately jumped from the battlement to the city wall.The invisible wind blade slashed where he had stood before.When the enemy attacks with magic from a distance, there is absolutely no chance of winning if you stay in place.You must approach the enemy slowly and knock him down. This is the most effective defense.

Near where he had originally landed, there stood a tall missionary in a black cloak.His heart trembled for a moment, but the man didn't seem to cut the rope that his companion was climbing.Ulan Boke didn't notice his presence at all when he entered the battlements, and he was an opponent not to be underestimated.

The hood of the cloak reached up to the man's eyebrows, and his face was hidden in the shadow of the hood. The hem of the long cloak almost reached the ground, with only the tip of his shoes showing.It is very common for mages to wear magical cloaks in order to improve their defense and magic power, but the purpose of completely hiding their appearance like this should not be the case.

The cloak, from head to toe, concealed almost every feature of the man.At best, it can only be judged from his not very broad shoulders that he is not a strong and powerful man like Thomas.

The young man who immediately grasped the situation pulled out the sword on his back and rushed to attack the opponent before he could cast a new spell.But before he cut himself, the magician jumped back high and landed gracefully on the high and low city walls.His movements were repeated, floating like losing weight.

For a moment, the boy couldn't help suspecting that there might be no entity inside the cloak, and that the other party might be something like a ghost.

"That red sword is the Dragon Heart Sword...!--Is it true that the phantom beasts are really starting to stir up trouble, is the phantom beast king going to rescue them himself? No. It should be said to be disposal? Anyway, things are starting to get interesting It's over..." The voice with a smile unexpectedly belonged to a young man.

Although the strange color of the sword in the young man's hand is clear under the moonlight, it is impossible for any human being to recognize that it is the Dragon Heart Sword.Ulan Pok understood immediately. "You are the magician who uses mirror magic to summon phantom beasts to the Yang Realm."

"...Oh, you know that."

"Who are you, why did you violate the oath to divide the world into two and break the balance?" Facing the sharp question of the young man, the other party mocked in a soft tone: "Little Dragon King, before asking someone else's name, you must first Reporting your name is the etiquette of the Yang Realm."

"You didn't sign up when you summoned the phantom beast from the underworld, did you?"

"Sure enough, it seems that you encountered the phantom beast I summoned somewhere."

"As the King of Eudemons, you must not tolerate what you do. If you have a reason that you think is justified, speak up quickly."

It means that I will kill you now, and hurry up if you ask for forgiveness, the man smiled happily in the shadow of the hood after hearing this.

"Do you think the world that exists by sacrificing yourself is justified?"

"...If that's the world where the person I love lives in. I love the world that raised that person more than my own life." To the magician's question, after a subtle pause to speculate on the other party's true intentions, the boy answered .

Hearing these words, the air around the magician became indescribably cold.The gentle whisper after a short silence was a curse that contained deep hatred.

"-Love and the like, deserve to be cursed." Without even making preparations, the boy jumped up, and the true red sword in his left hand slashed across the night sky.

The magician jumped away again, the cloak in front of him was cut off, revealing a white hand.

Sensing the magician's command, the power of the elf was about to be activated, and Ulan Boke jumped towards the vast view behind him.

exploded.

Although he avoided the frontal attack, his whole body was also strongly affected, and he fell towards the river in the force of the storm.

"Ulan Pok!" The young man who was climbing up the city wall along the rope called the boy's name.

Because of his shout, the boy woke up from a mild coma, spread his wings and flew back upwards in a reverse small-angle parabola.

The soldiers in the castle rushed out together because of the explosion just now to check what happened.

said the cloaked magician before the returning boy attacked again.

"Look, it's hard to handle? Do you know that there is a long distance to the basement where the phantom beasts are locked. If you don't want to be enemies of the soldiers in the city, then don't keep pestering me."

"You are more dangerous, you must be defeated first."

"It's easy to say, but if I cut the rope that your companions are pulling, can you still say such a thing?"

"Stop!" The boy quickly released the same spell as the wind blade issued by the magician, and the collision between the two canceled out.

Taking advantage of this gap, the magician disappeared.

"Let's have a good chat next time we meet. If possible, we can be alone..." The voice came from the night sky, and the magician floated in the air with the bridgeless business district as the background.

"...flying technique...!" the young man whispered.

"Please have fun this night--" The dark figure mocked maliciously and flew towards the city.

Putting the sword in his hand back into the scabbard, Ulan Boke muttered to himself.

"Can you even use the lost ancient magic..."

After being introduced by a temple in the city, Gass and Crotia entered the library of the university, and searched for records about the use of summoning magic by mirrors from various magical documents.

The result was in vain, and the two came to a conclusion.Magic develops systematically, and even newly researched magic must be an extension of existing magic.But the method of using mirrors to connect the world of Yin and Yang is completely different from today's concept of magic, and it is a different system of magic from today's magic. Used in reality - lost ancient magic.

The era when the world was divided into two thousand years ago is already regarded as the era of legends.However, the ancient times when humans coexisted with other human-like elves and dwarves were regarded as legends in the age of legends.Ancient magic is the magic used by ancient humans, which is similar to but different from today's magic.The reason why the elves, who live long, love nature deeply, and don't like fighting, embark on a journey to another world like most goblins is because they don't want to get along with warlike humans anymore.

The teenagers of the King of Monsters knew that was true, and they also left a big prophecy.After the elves left, the world was hit by a sudden change called the catastrophe, just as they predicted.Most humans believe that the ancestors used forbidden great magic to destroy the balance of nature.But there are also records such as the scriptures of the Four-Facing God, which are because the extremely depraved human hearts offended the gods.

However, other gods were believed in at that time, of course, but the theologians who did not recognize the existence of gods other than the four-faced god claimed that the god was actually an alter ego of the four-faced god.

The catastrophe destroyed most cities, and many tangible and intangible valuable properties of that era also disappeared along with human lives.Humanity, nearly extinct, then entered a long dark age of civilizational regression.

From time to time, treasure hunters who call themselves adventurers discover the remains of forgotten ancient cities and temples.However, the hopes of most magicians to discover the grimoires of ancient magic are constantly dashed.

The boy didn't know anything about the human world, and Crotia and Guess, who explained the ancient magic to him, didn't know what kind of magic it was.And they don't know about dragons either.Ulanbok is a dragon with a longer lifespan than the elves, and has inherited many knowledge and memories that people cannot know, including ancient magic.The last magic used by the magician in the black cloak was indeed ancient magic, but it was different from the summoning magic combined with a mirror and a magic circle.The magician not only learned the ancient magic, but also mastered many secrets about the dragon and the two worlds.Not to mention how he learned ancient magic, all the mysteries just got deeper and deeper.

The unexpected appearance of a magician led to the discovery of a group of people who had invaded the city. They had to divide the small number of people into three groups, assign tasks, and advance to the third underground floor where the target phantom beast was located.

Many soldiers rushed to the entrance on the first floor. Thomas was in charge of blocking them with his sword, and Crotia was in charge of restraining the enemy.Gase defended behind them and confronted the soldiers on the first and second floors underground with his bare hands.

Then there is Yakanjier who deals with soldiers on the third basement floor, and Ulan Boke who deals with Eudemons.Yake and Ulan knocked down all the soldiers who came with their swords and walked down the stairs.On the way, the boy stopped on the landing of the stairs and watched his companions fight.

It is natural that the dragon heart sword that cuts iron like mud can knock down the enemy with one blow, but no matter how good the young man's sword is, it cannot cut metal.Although the soldiers were lightly armed, there were iron breastplates on the chain armor to protect the chest and abdomen, and they wore steel helmets, as well as hand and leg guards.

Yakenjell's tactics are simple.Attack the vital parts of the exposed parts, such as the eyes, the knuckles of the sword hand, or the knees.And sometimes, with sufficient strength and speed, a sword pierces the neck exposed in the armor and kills the opponent.A divine skill that can only be achieved when the skills of a good sword and a swordsman have become one.

The idea is simple, but the implementation is not simple.At the moment of confrontation, it is necessary to grasp the opponent's weakness, predict the next move of the opponent's hand, and launch an attack.This requires instantaneous decision-making, observation, prediction and completely correct actions and excellent techniques--.

And there is no extra power and useless movements.Use the minimum consumption to make the opponent incapable of fighting.In the case of facing many enemies and fighting for a long time, the exhaustion of physical strength is directly related to one's own life.

"Why are you in a daze!" After cutting off the last man's wrist, Yakenjere turned around and reprimanded the boy standing beside him.

"...Watching Arkenjell fight is like seeing a god."

"His Majesty the Huan Beast King really has a leisurely heart - let's go."

"Ah." Following the young man down the stairs, Ulan Pok muttered blankly: "I fell in love with you again..." Yakenjieer almost stepped on the empty stairs and fell down.

In a short period of time other than their absolute impossibility, the two of them reached the third basement floor and stood in front of a dungeon-like cell door.Probably for the convenience of guards, a lantern was hung by the door.

"This iron gate is new, maybe it was refurbished to lock in the Eudemons. But there is no sound or feeling, is it really inside?"

"That's right, and it's quite a big role."

"Thank you so much for telling me such touching words." The young man turned the handle carefully, but the door was locked.Just as the boy was calculating what kind of powerful magic he would use to destroy the door, he saw Akenzel take out a wire from his waist.Bend one end of the iron wire a little, then put it into the keyhole, and then pull it out to adjust the bend.After repeating this action several times, there was the sound of the lock opening.

The boy couldn't help admiring Kia Kenjell's dexterity, and looked up at the beautiful side face with a smile.

"...I, I didn't learn this for a strange purpose. Even when there is no suitable job, mercenaries will go to the ruins to hunt for treasure like adventurers... So, that means..." Because the expression was misunderstood With the same boy's eyes, the young man blushed and explained with incomprehensible words.

Ulan Pok held up one of his hands, put his lips on his fingers and said, "I am grateful to the four-spirited gods for allowing Yakenjer to have such dexterous fingers."

Why did she seem to have been kissed in confusion just now, and thinking about it carefully, this is not the first time.It's a very bad thing for me to forgive this kind of thing in a daze every time.Behind the boy who opened the door with his hands, the former paladin young man looked at the finger that still touched his lips, thinking with a complicated expression on his face.

Ulan Pok opened the door - and then saw the head of the Eudemons with its mouth wide open.Quickly close the heavy iron door before the flames it spouts burn itself.The young man who raised his head due to the sound and vibration saw Ulan Pok showing a rare shake, tilted his head and asked in puzzlement.

"Why, the Eudemons aren't inside?"

"--it's a chimera, and it has three heads."

"Although I don't know about Eudemons, but it's so strong that even you, a dragon, can't handle it?"

"The only one who can fight a dragon is a dragon. But now I am in human form, with a certain discount. Chimera has three heads of a lion, a goat and a dragon, and its tail is a snake."

"Dragon? There are phantom beasts with dragon heads but not dragons? It's so strange, why is there such a creature?"

"Even they don't know how they were born, and it's impossible for me to know."

"...Indeed. But judging from your appearance, this battle will be very difficult. Will it be too reluctant for just the two of us?" Knowing that the other party's personality will not be exaggerated, the young man asked straightforwardly.

"I'm afraid so. If the Chimera is powerful, the dragon's head may use magic to attack. Not only can it use magic, but it can also breathe fire and bite people. Be careful with the fangs of the lion's head and snake's tail. The sheep's head has horns, and the claws on its forelimbs also Be careful."

"That is to say, as humans, we have to face a phantom beast that is almost full of murder weapons with only a sword. And it can use magic, so it's more troublesome."

"The four major elf magics I can use are only at the intermediate level. It may be useful as a diversion."

"Intermediate level! You who can use the wind elf without using spells?" Yakenjel couldn't help raising his voice for the unexpected confession of the Huan Beast King.

"Dragon's magical power is very strong, but I'm considered a heretic among dragons, no... I should say I'm a waste." Although he said some terrible things, his usual indifferent tone and his direct gaze Like her black eyes, she showed no emotion at all.

The young man was very confused by the unexpected speech, and for a moment didn't know how to answer it.

"...I really don't know much about Eudemons, but you in human form are a very trustworthy and practical comrade in the team. Isn't it enough to fight Chimera?" Like the shining stars of Winter The dark eyes of the night sky smiled.

"Enough is enough. Let's go." This time, the boy fired a fireball at one of the opponents that smashed the door together.

Thomas turned his head and saw the panting girl and immediately told her to go downstairs to Gais who was fighting.

"Why! I'm not in the way!"

"If you continue to use magic, you will run out of breath. I heard that if you use magic too forcefully, you will get chest discomfort. There are so many obstacles here that you can't use bows and arrows. You can go to Gase to help."

"...I see, then take care of yourself."

"Oh, thank you." The strong man said while knocking down the charging soldier with his two-handed sword.

The soldier who fell to the ground screamed, and other soldiers immediately ran out from behind the pillar and dragged him away.The soldiers were protected from chain mail, but Thomas' blow was strong enough to break a bone.

As Thomas said, the girl who felt pain in her chest obediently went down the stairs.Before becoming a monk, he was a member of the Imperial Guard and was also a well-known martial artist. He twisted off the dominant hands of the soldiers who attacked him one by one, making them incapable of fighting.Even if it is necessary to injure someone in self-defense, a monk must never take the life of another person.However, after many people embraced the loose martial arts uniform, there were gaps cut by swords everywhere, and it was even stained with blood.

Crotia stood in the middle of the stairs and shot three arrows one by one.The soldier who was shot through the neck fell down without even making a sound.

"your Highness……!"

"Thomas asked me to come here to help you."

"This kind of worry is unnecessary." Gus said to the girl walking down the stairs with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, Gus, you're in danger. I'm an assistant everywhere. And you're not wearing chain armor, so you're more likely to get hurt, aren't you? I use bows and attack magic to pin down the enemy's gaps, so hurry up and use holy Magic."

"...Thank you very much." At this time, it is absolutely impossible to continue to bleed for the sake of face.If you look carefully, although they are all flesh wounds, there are quite a few wounds. Even if exercise is regarded as a daily routine, human beings will indeed grow old.Gus thought a little lonely, he could no longer expect to have the stamina and movements of his heyday.

He was also wary of his surroundings while casting healing spells on himself.With beautiful archery skills, Crotia shot through the bodies of the soldiers who dared to pounce one by one.She won the championship in the bow and arrow department of the Miyagi Martial Arts Competition entirely by her own strength.

--That little princess has grown so well, but I am getting old.

When Crotia was hurt by the harsh words of the female officers who compared her with her sisters, and she cried secretly behind her back, it was Gaisu who dedicated the small bow and arrows he made to her.

"Damn it! How come there are more and more horses blocking the front!"

"There may be other entrances."

"Damn it, it wasn't in our reservation."

"For the soldiers here, what we broke into tonight was not on schedule."

"Otherwise, how do you call sneaking in?" The girl joked and shot quickly with a short bow.The soldier who poked his head out from behind the pillar to spy on the two was shot through one eye and screamed.

As long as you aim, you will never miss.However, in order to defend against her arrows, the soldiers brought out the large four-cornered shields used by hoplites, so that the bow and arrows completely lost their power.

Crotia sang magic with her tongue out.Unaffected by obstacles, the magic that directly affected the target exploded on the other side of the shield.The soldier whose upper body turned into a ball of fire threw away his shield and rolled on the ground. The people behind hurried to get the cloth and water for extinguishing the fire, turned around and ran away.

Ghaith also cast the slowing magic, and covered the line of shields.Under the continuous attacks of the two, the number of soldiers who died or lost combat effectiveness has been increasing, and the situation on this floor seems to be gradually stabilizing.When Crotia reached out to the quiver behind her to confirm the few arrows left, she suddenly felt movement behind her and immediately turned her head.Three soldiers who came up from the second floor of the basement were about to approach her quietly.Knowing that they were detected, they swung their swords and attacked together.

Crotia dodged the blade and tried to repel them with magic, but when she was about to speak, she felt a sharp pain in her left chest.The sudden severe pain made her breathless, and she fell to her knees on the spot, holding her chest with her mouth open.

"Your Royal Highness!" Ghaith jumped over from a long distance and kicked the soldier down before he swung his sword at Crotia.

Although protecting her, Dana Gass lost his balance the moment he hit the ground, and he didn't dodge the swords stabbing from the left and right sides.His swift elbow broke the enemy's ribs, but at this moment the enemy's sword point on the left pierced his back and went straight to the front of him.Gase turned and kicked the soldier's jaw in pieces, and the impaled body fell over.

What happened in front of her gave the girl too much shock, she was stunned for a few seconds before crying loudly.Then she rose at once, and ran up the stairs leading upstairs, screaming with all her might.

"Dorma, come quickly! Come now! Dorma!"

All the dungeons on the third underground floor have been broken into one, and even a Chimera twice as big as a lion is enough to move freely.From its huge body, it was hard to imagine that it could move so quickly, so it was quite difficult to fight with it. In a blink of an eye, their bodies were full of burns and scars from sharp claws.

If it wasn't for Yakenjell's ability to use holy magic, sooner or later the two of them would be unable to move due to excessive blood loss.However, the two of them didn't just take beatings and didn't fight back. Chimera also suffered quite a few sword wounds, but it was very resilient, and the wounds healed quickly.Only the snake tail that the young man had cut off early could not regenerate, and it would not move soon after landing.At least he doesn't need to spend energy to deal with poisonous snakes that are different from the main body's actions, which also reduces the consumption of physical strength to some extent.

But the battle is still at a stalemate.The dragon's head, which spits fire and uses magic, puts the two into a bitter fight.Only the ram's head, which is not meat-eating, still maintains its sanity, and it shows respect to the boy of the Huanjuwang, which is quite comforting.It told that its real name was taken away by the magician in black, and it was ordered not to leave the basement. Rather than becoming a man-eating monster and being enslaved by humans, it would be better to be killed by the Huan Beast King himself.

"Your wish will come true." The boy said, his tone was still flat.But the color of his eyes has been dyed blood red like the blade of the sword, and the boy's whole body is emitting a strong murderous aura.The dragon spirit that was usually suppressed in the little boy's body showed its real power now.

Akenjal felt a deep sorrow and anger in his overwhelming murderous intent.The suffering of the phantom beasts and the grief and indignation of their kings are all the responsibility of human beings.Human beings violated the last words of the Holy King, and including this time, three large-scale mutual killings called chaos occurred within 1000 years.It is frightening that every time there is a great chaos, many phantom beasts will be sacrificed without knowing it.

--...What the hell am I doing...

The Huanju Wang is hunting Huanju, no matter how you think about it, it is wrong.And as a human being, what I really should do is not to help him.However, abandoning his identity as a paladin and becoming a mercenary did not change the power of Chaos. If he got involved with more people, he would only be hurt more deeply.The psychological trauma in early childhood has not yet healed.

--The sword of the boy who grabbed the gap cut off almost half of Chimera's body, and the boy attacked from the opposite side.

But seeing the dragon's head opened its mouth wide, he hastily jumped diagonally backwards, narrowly avoiding the hot flames burning where he was just now.In order to prevent himself from being slightly burned in case of being directly hit by the flame, Ulan Boke cast the magic to defend against the flame again.Even so, being a fireball is no fun.

"Yarkenjell, one of the men up there seems to have been knocked down."

"Ugh……?"

"Wind Spirit told me. Go ahead, you are the only one who can cast healing magic."

"Gase down! But if I leave, you--"

"I'm fine. I'll last until you come back." It's unknown how badly Ghaith was hurt, but there's a possibility that he died during the melancholy time.Ulan Boke will not be brave in what cannot be done.The young man believed his words, and immediately ran out of the room where the Eudemons were.

Thomas, who rushed over because he heard Crotia's unusual cry, reached out and was about to pull out the sword that had pierced Guth's stomach, but was stopped by himself.

"Why, if you don't pull it out earlier, the muscle will clamp the blade. And you can't cast magic in this state, can you?"

"...it's useless, cast a spell on yourself... no matter what...the effect will be reduced, not to mention...a fatal injury..."

"How will you know if you don't try! I'll bring Yake up below, and you have to hold on until then!" Crotia, who was pale, turned her head and yelled while shooting arrows.

Thomas's retreat brought a mass of soldiers to the floor, waiting for her quiver to go empty.Thomas had to protect his dying companions, so he couldn't deal with all the soldiers he killed with all his strength.Moreover, the former paladin youth may not be able to leave there immediately.Girls also understand.But even if you understand it, you can't face up to this fact.

Ghaith smiled weakly, and said to the strong man squatting beside him: "...about Her Royal Highness... replace me, please..."

"Ah, don't worry."

"If it's you...it will definitely make Her Royal Highness happy...I believe..."

"Ah? Wait a minute, what are you talking about, uncle. Didn't you mean to send her back to Miyagi Castle safely for you?"

"...Ahhh, God, thank you... for allowing me to meet a man who can entrust the life of the important Princess, Her Majesty, at the end of my life..."

"I said you wait for me! Listen to others, okay, old man! You haven't read the healing mantra yet, why are you doing your dying prayers of thanks!"

Crotia cried to the panicked strong man: "Oh, the arrow is gone! Thomas, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Come on to you later, you bastard...Wow! Damn, how did it become like this!" The giant man with swords in both hands rushed towards the enemy, saw one knock down the other, and took all his anger out on the poor soldiers.

Crotia leaned on the former guard who was sinking into death, "Gaith, don't die! I don't want you to die!"

"...After this, I can only be by God's side...to serve...Thomas...to make Her Royal Highness happy...If I swear...I will die without regret..."

"So, why did it become like this... Bah!" Dorma, who turned back, finally raised an objection, and then turned around to cut down the newly appeared enemy army.

"...Thomas is a trustworthy man... Please, happily..."

"I beg you, no matter what the monk said--" the strong man was already begging at last, and the girl beat his shoulder desperately with her small fists. "Stupid stupid stupid stupid, Gase's gonna die, he's gonna die so whatever, you swear! Gaz's gonna die, Gaz's gonna die-!"

"Hey, this isn't the occasion for insane crying!"

"Gase is dying woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

"I want to cry too..." Thomas was dizzy between the dying monk, the crying girl, and more and more enemies in front of him.

The young man who was out of breath and rushed up the stairs immediately became serious when he saw this scene.

"Thomas, get your sword—"

"Ah, I don't care! Even you are wordy!" The hand on the strong man's shoulder was opened by his palm, and the young man was speechless.

The burly man with deep vertical lines between his eyebrows picked up his sword again and stood up, rushing into the crowd of soldiers who swarmed up to wipe out all the intruders at once.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's you bastards who are rushing up endlessly! If you want to die like that, I'll kill you all!"

"Hey, Thomas, listen to me!...It won't work, you must be confused with him--I can't help it." Seeing that his companion fell into a berserker state without using any magic, the young man had no choice but to give up asking him for help. Sing the mantra directly.

"O four-phase god, the master of our weak human beings, the fire of your servant's life is about to disappear. Please use your almighty and compassionate hand to eliminate the darkness of the deep-sleeping death-'completely heal the radiance'!" In the spell chant Before the song was over, Yakenjel took hold of the hilt of the sword that had pierced Guth's body, and slowly pulled it out.Although I was a little worried about not being able to do it with a horse, it was pulled out very easily.

The bleeding so far is incomparable. A large amount of blood sprayed from the front and rear wounds.
