While watching the expressions on the faces of the Dragon King and Rinos, Royce creates a space under the magma. There is no sign of movement from the two men. Royce is convinced that they cannot attack this space.
...... So you can watch and keep your fingers crossed.
Royce chuckles as he moves down the magma. This magma pool leads to the Lace volcano on Lewassan Island, where Lois was originally from. If we move through it, we can get to the girl who controls the Dragon King in the shortest distance.
"I won. I have won!
Royce shouted as he moved through the magma.
Lois was moving through the magma.
Just then, on top of the magma pool, two people were opening their mouths with stern expressions on their faces.
"The presence ...... disappeared ......?"
"What? There is no response at all to either presence detection or magic detection, but you can ...... tell?"
No, I don't know, I don't know.
"Somehow ....... No, we can't be too careful. Let's try to detect his presence and magic a little more.
The two men focused their gaze on the magma reservoir again.
The two men's eyes were once again fixed on the magma reservoir.
Meanwhile, at the Lace Volcano on the island of Rwazan, the loud voices of men and women echoed through the air.
"Don't be so reckless!
"I told you before, I'm fine."
"It's not okay or not okay. It's a foundation. It's impossible.
A girl with wings on her back and shaking red hair and a lizard-like creature with flames all over its body are glaring at each other. This was Irizar the Psyllus and Salamander, the fire spirit with whom she had made a contract.
They were surrounded by bright red flames. From time to time, a pillar of fire would shoot up into the sky.
"You know what, girl? My flames and magma are different. Try an eruption right here, right now. We'd melt right away, you and me. We'd better get rid of this place as soon as possible!
"Don't say that, just stay like this for a while longer."
"No. No. I know what I'm doing. Soon this mountain will be on fire. And when it does, we'll be finished.
"That's why. I think that's why Linos has put up wards to prevent that from happening."
"Don't be silly! No matter how many wards you put up, they can't protect you from the heat of the magma.
I told you, I'm fine there!
"If it's all right, you don't have to call us, do you? Why don't you just stay here? Why do I have to do this!
"There's a reason for that. I'm sorry, but I don't have time to explain it to you."
"...... d*mn it. You're always asking me to do things you can't!
With these words, the salamander floats up into the sky. Then he became one with the flames surrounding him.
Irizar exhaled slowly and glanced back.
"They are here. Here it comes."
As soon as Irizar turns around, he hears a man's voice. There are two wards in front of him, both of which are blacked out, so he cannot see into them. From one of them, a voice is heard.
There is no doubt. It is Royce. Royce is coming toward us. Hey, can you hear me? If you can hear me, answer me. Hey! You're not sleeping, are you! Don't sleep! Wake up!"
The ground shook violently at the same time as the man's shouts echoed through the air. The air in the vicinity of the house was shaking with the vibrations.
"Hey, girl! The mountain is going to erupt! I don't want to be a part of this!
"Oh, no, wait! Salamander!"
Irizar's words were in vain as the flames around him suddenly went out. At that moment, a pillar of fire rose from the crater of the volcano.
"Gowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!
A sound that could neither be described as an explosion nor a roar echoed through the air. The sound was so loud that Irizar covered his ears.
The sound is so loud that Irizar covers his ears.
The first thing that met Royce's eyes as he leapt out of the crater of Lace Volcano was a psilocybin and two black spheres. Royce sees this and immediately activates his detection. As expected, he senses a weak magic power. It seems that one of them has the daughter who controls the Dragon King.
I'm going to ...... eat them both.
Royce grins and begins to plummet toward the sphere on his right. It is coming right at me. But just as he is about to eat it, a shock hits his whole body.
"Hahahaha!!!"
The next thing he knew, Royce's mouth was gripped by some powerful force. He looked up to see the Dragon King in front of him, laughing hysterically as he gripped Lois' mouth with his right hand.
"It's been a long time, Royce. I never thought you would do such a thing. Or should I say, it is because of you that I have done such a foolish thing. But you were shallow. Now that I have you in my clutches you can no longer escape. Here and now, I will take your life with my own hands. ......"
I noticed that Royce's mouth was glowing silver. At that moment, a powerful breath was released from his mouth, and the Dragon King flew far away.
"You don't think the Dragon King is ......! I see, the Dragon King was there to protect her! But that's over."
Royce turns his body to the other sphere and heads for it, opening his mouth again.
The landscape unfolds as if in slow motion. Royce sees something black flying in his field of vision. It turned out to be the hand of a dragon, which seemed to be a black dragon.
Royce wonders why the hand of the black dragon is flying by him, and he stares at the hand. It was a dragon's hand, after all. Whose hand is this?
As I slowly returned my gaze, I saw a man of the human race swinging his sword.
......Who is this?
It is definitely a face I remember. But I cannot remember the name. The man's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were completely intent on killing his prey.
The man gripped his sword with both hands and held it in a grandiose stance. Intuitively, Royce sensed that this man was going to use his sword to split my brain open.
Royce twisted his body to avoid the man's slash. But just as he thought he had done so, he felt a sharp pain in his left hind leg.
"Gooohh, gooohh, gooohh... ......"
It was as if a tightening pain shot through my entire body. He tries to stand up, but he cannot. Quickly, he uses the wings on his back to jump up.
When he realizes that his front left leg and his back left leg are gone, he is in a state of shock. They were lying on the ground. The black dragon's hand that he had seen earlier was his own hand.
I looked down and saw the man I had seen earlier, with his sword in its scabbard, sitting down, ready to slay at any moment, and looking at me reproachfully. At that moment, Lois finally remembered this man.
......Linos, King of Agartha!
At that moment, Royce realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Dragon King and Rinos. Two options immediately came to mind.
...... attack or retreat.
Although he had lost his left front hind leg, he still had his wings. It can move. King Linos of Agartha does not seem to be able to fly. If he could fly, he would have continued his earlier attack in the sky. If he had been able to fly, he would have continued his earlier attack in the air.
Royce quickly activates his presence and magic detection. The Dragon King has been sent very far away by the breath. It seems to take him a few minutes to get here.
...... Let's eat this guy.
Royce decides. If I eat this man, I will improve my skills. Then we can decide what to do with the Dragon King.
Royce thought as he stared at Linos below him. .......
