A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The Reurus, who decided on the “future” policy, quickly left the abandoned city of Madalo, saying that they would spare time.

Reurus, Eliza, and Gilba joined forces to start an investigation around the abandoned city of Madalo to find out what caused this disturbance.

Werners and adventurers from Madalo Waste City contracted to defend Madalo Waste City. Zilba's healing magic has allowed him to move a little, so he can now count as a defensive force.

However, the injury is not completely healed, it is a battle to endure the injury. If Hikudri attacked us, we wouldn't be able to beat them, but we might be able to earn enough time for the Reurus who noticed the battle to return - perhaps.

However, if Reurus and Eliza, or Gilba, remain in the abandoned city of Madalo, the investigation in the vicinity will not proceed further. That's why it was a Reurus that prayed that an intermediate monster would not attack the abandoned city of Madalo.

(I hope they come from our direction of travel....)

With that in mind, Reurus turned to Zilba, who was leading the way. We are currently walking south-east of Madalo Waste Town, but we are taking the route to avoid the forests and woods as much as possible, and when it is absolutely necessary to go through, we go along with the grass squawking.

This is because there are no improved roads, and for the time being, there were plans to increase the number of "walkable places” that would be about the beast road.

Even if Reurus' belligerent Hikuidori attacked us now, it won't be a big problem. Team up with Zilba and fight two-to-one to win without any casualties.

(Speaking of which....)

Leading Zilba, Reurus, and Eliza in the middle walking around, Reurus recalls three predictions Zilba made about the disturbance.

The forecast did not include a "leopard change project” for Jilba. It may be prejudicial, but it seemed strange that Gilba would not talk about "that possibility.”

"Mr. Gilba, may I ask you a question?

"What is it? It doesn't matter if you want to be on the lookout."

Gilba's voice is slightly stiffer than usual. We are not far from the abandoned city of Madalo yet, but we are vigilant against entering the Fire Dragon territory from now on.

"Is it possible that Gregorianism is involved in this case?

That's why we have to check it out now that we can afford to. As a matter of fact, even if Zilba was hiding something, I don't want to be caught up in a sudden battle without knowing it.

"Hmm... if Reurus was attacked by both corrupt exteriors, would you be right to suspect that? I'm sorry I couldn't help but... I can't totally deny it."

That said, Zilba starts to state her findings.

"When it comes to the Veos Volcano Fire Dragon, it is a monster that is also famous on this continent. Then, of course, I know about Gregorianism, but if the adult classic dragon is the opponent, it will be difficult to defeat the bastards who should be stuck in that dumpster."

Zilba answers in a poisonous tone. Eliza, surprised at the tone and tone of her voice, jumps into the Reus, who holds it and listens.

"Even if I think about targeting Eliza before, I'm trying to create an opponent that's“ easier to defeat ”than a Fire Dragon... so it's hard to think of a Fire Dragon without any chance of winning."

"... is there any chance that an intermediate monster caught up in a riot without a chance of winning?

Suddenly, she was poisoned with daggers all over town. There was also the possibility that if a powerful monster were to kill him, he would be assaulting him.

"Of course, it's about those monsters who can only be used as shit. I can't deny that you're spreading annoyance without thinking about it. It's just that I've been killing each other for years, and I'm saying," No. "

"Hahaha... that's a faint conjecture."

Hearing Gilba's words, Reurus was inadvertently laughing dry. If Gilba says that, it is unlikely that Gregorianism will be involved this time.

"For my part, I think the range of activities has expanded as a result of the increase in the number of cars that lived in Fire Dragon territory. As a result, the power relationship between the monsters in this neighborhood has collapsed, except for the Fire Dragon."

"I see... it's not artificial, but it's only natural."

"Yes, because there must be a minimum of soldiers around Mount Veos to spark the Fire Dragon on the Rapali side. It's a habitable place not only for Cars, but also for other monsters."

Gilba said that he had actually set foot in another country. Its persuasiveness is high, and the more Reurus nods.

"Yesterday, Mr. Gilba. Can there be any other monsters in Fire Dragon territory? I think I might be able to eat it...."

Eliza, who had been listening until then, asked Zilba. I don't know what kind of treatment I would receive if I were under the protection of a Fire Dragon.

"Fire Dragons are advanced monsters... they say they have high intelligence. Maybe it's a character that doesn't fight indefinitely, or is it missed by judging that there is affordable“ bait ”in the territory..."

You can stay in the territory, but don't complain even if you are eaten? If you're getting food nearby, you'll feel a strange sense of intimacy as a revulsion.

"That's right, I hate to get hungry..."

"Don't tell me you're stingy..."

Yeah, yeah, it's a Reurus nodding, but Eliza looks Jito in the eye.

It is indeed terrifying to hear that intermediate monsters are predators, but they do not live with fire dragons eating hazelnuts. The region's food chain has reigned at its apex, and there is no denying the possibility that more monsters are feeding on its territory.

We don't even know how fertile the monster is, but it takes time for humans to be born and it takes time for them to grow. In that regard, if it's a monster, there will be a "food response” that matches the size of the body.

"I'm not going to attack you all of a sudden... I'd like to think so, but I guess it's just someone who understands Fire Dragon's thoughts. Don't just be vigilant."

"Roger that. Well, it's like a Fire Dragon, and if a monster with a huge magic comes closer, I'll notice it even if I don't like it."

In the case of Reuses, if the opponent has a huge magic power, the distance they will notice will increase in proportion to their size. Even Kimira could feel the magic hundreds of meters away. Fire Dragons are more likely to notice even if they are a few kilometers away.

But Gilba denied the idea of Reurus.

"The Fire Dragon certainly has enormous magic, but it may come close to hiding it. Looking back, it could be enough that there were firedragons."

"Don't threaten me...."

With that said, Reurus looks back and checks his back. If there was a fire dragon behind it, it would be just a horror, but fortunately there was no fire dragon.

"Or rather, powerful monsters like Fire Dragons hide their magic....."

"I hear it's called a Fire Dragon and is good at dealing with flame magic. They once tried to crush firedragons in this country, but at that time the army was wiped out by advanced flame magic."

It was decades ago, Gilba added. The Reurus who heard that accidentally pulled her cheeks.

"... who can beat a monster of that strength?

Even the magic released by HikuIdori who fought yesterday was only intermediate magic, but it still had the power to make a hole in Madalo's walls. When it comes to advanced magic, it is a realuse that can't be imagined at the earliest.

"Well... even if you are there, you must be very few. A skill that allows you to engage in melee combat even against dragon species giants with extraordinary magic and magical talents. What if they were all there?

"But may I ask you a little more?

Zilba's predictions seem credible. As Reurus persuaded her to continue, Gilba stopped her legs and placed her hand on her chin.

"That's right... it's only personal, but let's assume that Fire Dragon is the opponent. In that case, he/she shall have the talent and skill to handle multiple advanced magic attributes other than flame magic, and he/she shall have enough magic to shoot in succession. This is a prerequisite."

Except for the flame magic, because using flame magic on dragons doesn't work. It was thought that the need for advanced magic with multiple attributes was due to the idea that it was better to have multiple means of attack.

"And you can use advanced healing magic to prepare for injuries, as well as auxiliary magic, starting with 'Enhancement', in anticipation of a long-term battle... that's enough to win."

You can use advanced magic in multiple attributes, including ice magic, wind magic, thunder magic, water magic, and ground magic, as well as healing magic and assistive magic. An all-rounder for melee fights and a huge amount of magic.

"... Mataroi seems to be a big country, but I wonder if there's one of them."

"Hahaha, it's just a private look. It will be extremely difficult to reach an advanced level with one attribute magic, and if you become as magical as you can against the Fire Dragon, you need to have the genius you were born with."

"Magic hey... how many colors does" Magic Stone "say?

"Magic Stone" has the characteristic of changing color according to the amount of magic possessed. Reurus didn't know what criteria he was using to change colors, but he was able to change to seven colors and still measure the darkness and fine magic of the colors.

"It must be the top red. It is said that the amount of magic in purple is equal to the amount of magic of each of the" average ”wizards, but no matter how good they are at dealing with magic, whether they can shoot intermediate magic once... the Fire Dragon will be easily erased by the opponent."

"... how much magic do I need to shoot advanced magic?

"I've heard about it because I can't use attribute magic, but between green and yellow... it seems like I need magic around 10 ordinary wizards. The power seems to be commensurate with that, but the use will be limited."

Each time the color changes, the magic amount of Magic Stone is doubled - purple for one person, indigo for two people, blue for four people, green for eight people, etc.

The Reurus who heard that doubles the number in his head.

(1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64… 64!?

It's only a private view of Gilba, but apparently, fighting the Fire Dragon will require the magic of 64 ordinary wizards.

With that kind of magic, he has the ability to handle advanced magic with multiple attributes, can perform melee fights, and is also good at healing magic and auxiliary magic.

"... as much as you want, isn't that too much?

"Otherwise, we don't expect to be able to deal with the Fire Dragon."

"By the way, Jilba...."

Once every ten times, he should have performed a self-analysis that he could escape from the Fire Dragon. In that case, Reurus thought that Gilba was also quite capable.

"In my case, the magic is at most green... but it doesn't reach eight people. And since you can't use attribute magic, you can't use Ranged Attacks, and honestly, Fire Dragons are the worst match."

Reurus offers Zilba an extremely serious look, adding that it will be wiped out before approaching.

"If you run into a Fire Dragon, let's get through the conversation."

"I know you're intelligent, but it's probably a question of speaking Comona."

"At that time, Eliza, a bloodsucking species, interpreted."

"If you think you've been shaken up all of a sudden, you're being completely reckless!?

Even if you think about it in half, you're clearly not a good opponent. Reurus concluded - he felt the magic in the distance.

"... ah"

"Ah, that's right. Why did you make such a noise in this stream!?

Reurus looks in a direction that feels the magic reflectively. Eliza protests against such a realuse, but Zilba turns her back with a serious expression.

Are you a monster?

"Maybe... the magic is still small, but it's a few hundred meters away... no, hundreds of melts away... right?

I felt the magic while I was talking, so I wondered if Reurus could still escape. However, the sense of magic was not so intense, and there was the possibility that it was just an intermediate monster.

(I have a bad feeling about this... but is it as bad as Kimira...?

I don't know because of the distance, but it's not enough to turn right now and run away. I don't think it's strange to run away when I think it's equivalent to Kimira, but I didn't think the revus had gotten a little stronger or scarier than before.

"It's getting closer... it's getting faster."

While saying so, Reurus put his hand on the big sword on his back. Whether the opponent is aware of the presence of the Reuses or is it a coincidence, they are heading straight for it.

"How many?

"As far as I can feel, it's one."

"Maybe it's a firedragon with its magic suppressed... but don't let Reurus pull out his sword until he sees it."

Gilba gives instructions as she moves around to places where there are no trees. Jilba didn't even look at his fist, and he was watching the direction Reurus was looking.

"Reurus....."

Eliza looks anxious, but she doesn't run away. Standing next to Reurus, he pulls his lips to the letter and shook and killed them.

"... I'm here"

Magic is approaching. As the distance decreases, the amount of magic you can feel increases.

"Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

And it was a monster who showed up.

A giant body over five metres from head to tail is covered with hard scales, and its appearance stands with two feet resembling an eagle.

The reptile-reminiscent head showed signs of ferocity, with wings that resembled bat feathers stretching out of the arm. And the tail looks like a snake, with multiple sharp thorns at its tip.

― ― A word of dragon would suffice if it represented its appearance.

The magic you can feel at close range is equal to or greater than Kimira and Hikuidori, and the Reurus who saw the monster murmurs with the battle horn.

"Is that-- Fire Dragon!?

"No, that's a Wing Dragon. It's a middle-ranking monster."

I thought the feeling of intimidation was too little for the fire dragon you just heard from Jilba, but apparently it was different. Still hearing that he was an intermediate-level monster, Reurus held the big sword with both hands and held it on his shoulders.

"What do you mean?"

"An enemy that threatens the abandoned city of Madalo."

Looking at Jilba, she lowered her hips while holding her right fist.

Apparently, the enemy was ready to be defeated - and after confirming that, Reus ran away with a great sword in his hand.
