Reincarnated as a Dragon’s Egg ~Lets Aim to Be the Strongest~
386. Steel Horse
I decided to leave Trent with Grandpa Maggiatite and travel with Aro, Nightmare and Volk to Alban, the king's capital.
Trent, who was dropping us off at the cave entrance of the Alban Grand Mine, was watching us with his dead eyes.
Trent didn't like leaving messages with Nightmare, but he still didn't like it as much that he shouldn't even follow Nightmare.
Wow, bad Trent...... if I can afford it, I'll buy you nutritious fertilizers or something.
I waited for [MP automatic recovery] to recover to MAX and then tried to activate [humanization technique], but Volk stopped me.
"I don't suppose you can keep it in the eye. or will not prolong travel time,"
Volk calls me.
To answer, I called Aro nearby and asked him to be an interpreter.
Is Aro afraid of Volk or he calls out to Volk while he hides his half on my front leg?
"... If you have any good hands, tell me, Dragon God says."
"It lives around the Alban mine, catch a steel horse. If they are, they are widely known as Riding Warcraft. Many adventurers even bring you to the city of Alban. There's nothing wrong with taking him."
Kouba, a steel horse...... Hmm, a demon?
Sure, you should have some legs.
As soon as I'm serious about it, Aro and Nightmare don't have that high status of quickness.
You can carry it separately from Volk, but it really stands out evil.
In that regard, if you use demons on your feet, you can travel naturally.
"Steel horses flee cowardly and quickly. But your legs don't have a problem."
I see, that sounds interesting.
Let's work on that plan.
I've been wandering around the Alban mine for a while looking for a steel horse, but it's obviously him, isn't it? I saw such demons roaming around.
Somehow, it was a horse whose entire body was reinforced with metal plates, itself.
A metal and metal joint, or a bit like a rip, can be peeked at.
Is it accurate to say that it is a brisk toy horse?
You really have a lot of ketty demons here.
No, it's not just demons. Unfortunately, the strangest thing was the smashing and volk.
Which, let me just find out what kind of demon the steel horse and the others are.
[Steel Horse]: C-Rank Monster]
[Horse demon with metallized body surface.
[Sturdy and agile, but with no other notable ability.
[When you encounter more than equal enemies, take advantage of their sturdiness and agility to escape instantly.
[However, this is not the case when the mineral [Adamandogola] of the favorite product is nearby, and exhibits unusual frenzy.
[... but it's still not as strong as ever.
Well, that's more or less what I was asking Volk.
Is the rank C-? In case you get hung up in a herd, it's not enough for you to take.
Looks like I'd be quicker running with Aro on my back......
Did Volk come this way on the arr too?
When I was wondering, Aro asked me instead.
"... Uncle, too, on a steel horse?
Volk returns his gaze.
Aro trembles on his shoulder and gently hides on the other side of my leg.
"Hmm? I've been running. Of course?
Ah... yes, is that right?
I feel like I'm losing the point of hunting that steel horse.
Is there any difference between running side by side and being treated like Volk, because it is troublesome in all respects, so I should explore another hand?
"I'm glad the hell you found me soon. They're useful, but they're often hiding."
But are you timid......
If I freaked you out, instead of listening to what I say, wouldn't I be useless?
Will there be a stone in how to catch it?
When I was worried, a steel horse noticed his gaze and ran away.
Oh, shit! Oh, should I go after this? All right? Volk also said it would be a hassle to find...
Seeing my haste, Volk pulled out the Love Sword wrestle.
"Look there, he hunts me. In your giant, you might be pushing too hard to crush it."
Lower your posture when you say it, and run in a straight line.
He quickly lined up with a steel horse with a big sword that looked stupid heavy in one hand.
I was finally beginning to wonder the significance of hunting a steel horse as I watched the sight.
"Gi...... Gin!
Steel horses hiss with a rusty instrument-like voice, increasing speed.
As the steel horse accelerated, Volk was also sticking up perfectly.
Volk kicks the ground gently and turns around twisting his body.
From the opposite position above and below the body, he switches the Great Sword upside down and releases a poke at the end of the pattern.
It was a gorgeous move.
but whether it was a coincidence or instinct, the steel horse stuck his head forward big enough to avoid the punching of Volk's patterned tip.
The pattern plunders the hyena of the steel horse.
There is a rush on Volk's face.
He stretched his arms forcefully and turned his body, and the belly of the impetuous blade struck out the head of the steel horse.
A metallic breaking noise sounded and by the weight struck down on his head, the extremities of the steel horse were pulled and beaten to the ground.
Volk used the recoil received upward to jump vertically and landed as he returned the Great Sword to his sheath.
No, it was kinda cool, but I'm not fooled!?
Volk makes a desperate excuse to look at my accusations.
"Yes, I'm fine! That's it! Do you think I would imitate the muscles of a sword differently?
What, are you sure?
Kan, I saw it when the steel horse almost avoided me, when I stretched it out to push my arm in haste!?
"W, I've heard Uroboros is good at white magic! Is that right? He's still breathing!
... ho, really, can I leave this guy to guide me to Alban, the king's capital?
Somehow, I feel like I've made a mistake relying heavily on someone.
