Darenidemo Dekiru Kage Kara Tasukeru Maō Tōbatsu

Twenty-fourth report: tracking and receiving enemies

God, give this hero an ordeal and just a blessing to get over it once in a while.

One day the sword of light will not defeat all darkness.

One of mankind's finest protections.

The protection of the Three Spirits is powerful.

As long as it grows, Fujido can undoubtedly be the most powerful people in the world. I can crusade the Demon King.

My only role is to be thorough and to protect that growth.

§§§

Dragon species.

It is considered one of the most powerful species of demons, among the limitless.

Of course, there is a pin to a kili in a sip with a dragon species, but all of them possess a threat that is no different from a disaster to the average person.

Therefore, those who kill dragons are given the title of Dragon Killer (Dragon Slayer) with envy, awe and respect.

Having that title was also an unparalleled honor for the warriors.

When you get ready quickly, carry the backpack.

When a powerful demon occurs, the information is deposited with the good offices and gatekeepers guarding the village gates. The sighting point will also be taught there.

Fujido and the others must finish everything before they leave the village.

"Mr. Ares, I'm coming too"

Communication from Amelia with an assertive tone.

"... where are you now?

"It's a church. Fujido's here to borrow Priest with the village chief's references... temporarily, it seems, but Helios is handling it '

I see... that the village chief isn't stupid enough to let dragon extermination go without a healer?

I also found out why Amelia was able to catch information that the village chief had asked Fujido. I guess I was back in church after I dropped off the Vines.

I feel the flow coming. It's like it's connected by a piece of neck skin...

"I don't need any help over here. Amelia, stop Fujido and the others."

Amelia's level is 55. Average around here is vastly over, and I'm pretty sure it's over Gracial Plant's fair crusade level, but we can't get all the numbers this time around.

The monk's main command is only demonstrated at large parties.

If you deal with dragon species, you can't be relieved even at level 55, which is beyond proper, and since there are already enough monks, Amelia, who can't fight, is unfortunately only likely to be a foot wrapper.

Walk early to the gate. There were already many public reports of the emergence of dragon species, no hearts or crowds.

Most of the mercenaries will decide to remain still, as they did last time. The merchants may be finding a business opportunity in the material of the dragon breed that will be newly brought in.

The world was peaceful. Generally speaking, I'm the only one with a harsh look.

I was silent for a while, but eventually Amelia responded.

'... okay. How much longer do we have to stop him?

"One day...... I want at least half a day. We have to start somewhere."

That said, dragon species have enormous presence. You'll definitely be able to sense it if you get close.

'... are you going to fight alone?

A rare tone that strikes somewhere.

Surprisingly, there are no other means.

Whether you want to hire a mercenary, only weakening your purpose will not give you the honor of material, presence, or dragon killing. I can't benefit mercenaries, and I can't pay as much money as I can to cover that risk.

"No problem. My level should be enough to make you weak."

Overall, the level of demons supposedly living in the Vale Forest is low.

I can largely predict the level of dragon species living there, not to mention how much they came out of the deepest. Above all, I have a proven track record of defeating them with Tomas.

……

Amelia was showing a hesitant air across the correspondence about how she received my words, but eventually returned them with just one word.

"... good luck"

"... oh"

If you're going to pray for martial arts, pray for the brave, I think for a moment, but at a time like this, you can honestly take it and put it down.

When I showed my face to the stuffing near the gate as planned, there was a face I saw.

Tomas and his party members who seriously distort his tough looks. Were you here when you thought you weren't at the good offices?

Marina, who was sitting deeply in the chair looking frustrated, put her legs together. There are several sharp scratches running in parallel in the metal armor that covers its entire body.

"... Something wrong?

"Mmm... oh, isn't that Ares!

When Tomas looked up, he changed the look on his face.

§§§

The sun had already set abundantly when I approached the entrance to the Vale Forest.

The forest entrance, which has passed many times, is now encased in darkness, albeit on a well-maintained path, as if it were the mouth of a giant creature.

Night is not the human world. The abilities of the Dark Families are only maximized under the night.

It wasn't popular around anymore. Now that the dragon is out, besides, there won't be any hunters trying to get into the woods on a night like this.

Only the sound of the wind can be heard with clear ears.

In that sound, which also resembles a strange whistle somewhere, there is no such thing as signs of a bird-beast shaped demon or a bug squeal that is supposed to mix.

Silence as if you were lurking. atrophy to superiors who have transcended their original territory.

The sense of a demon following his instincts is sharp.

It has its own perceptual abilities that are not available in humans no matter how many levels they raise.

It's also in the teachings in the demon hunt.

Stay away from the silence.

If there's a phenomenon, there's a reason.

Lick your lips. Recall the new information we got from Tomas and the others.

This time the Gracial Plant is stronger than anything the Tomas have fought before.

Apparently, we ran into each other while exploring the woods.

The new equipment was also gaining more combat power, so I tried and said it was a complete defeat.

Fortunately, only my life seemed to have been saved, but when I lost my new weapon when I lost it, I saw Marina talking in an indignant manner.

Tomas' average level was top-notch in this city, and its equipment was top-notch.

My strength analysis is important. No one would have challenged me, so I was just trying to check the sightings. That was good news for me.

I already have the map of the woods in mind.

The opponent is a dragon species with a body length of several meters and has no ability to fly. The traces will be left dark. Once you find that trail, all you have to do is follow it.

Step into the woods. Walk down a well-maintained path.

In early spring, the low temperatures were as tolerable as they could be, but there was a thin rash of fog in the woods.

Walk with your consciousness thrown around you. Cold air and cheek-beating wind, throwing gaze behind it.

The expensive spirit of the late before the struggle. I feel my general senses become acute in the air that fills my lungs. The weight of the gripping mace was familiar.

Only now do I get rid of Fujido and the others.

Cut the fog and walk silently. But going back, there's no murmur coming from around.

I didn't see Gracial Plant fight with Tomas. All I saw was the result... the carcasses that Tomas and the others carried.

But I don't think that Gracial Plant was weak. In this case, the individual is particularly strong.

Of course, even dragons vary in intensity due to toddlers, adults, etc., and even if they were the same adults, there are individual differences.

Originally, Gracial Plant was an opponent above the proper level that the Tomas and the others could defeat. So it's no strange thing to try and lose without aids, and I don't know how much to believe in their eyesight. But...

About an hour went by in the woods.

The fog grew thicker and darker, and there was no moonlight, but I sharpened my senses. I could see clearly beyond that in my sight.

- Close.

Breathtaking to avoid making noises. Lick dry lips and move your nose.

Try to follow the signs and get off the road. There are no signs of demons. Of course the bird beast type leads to plant type demons, beginning with the tree man (Trent), although how much fog is out there, it is not unusual that there is no sign of activity on the night it is activated.

I'm close. Imminent. A warrior's survey cultivated over the years - a monk's survey whispers.

Put more effort into the hand holding the mace.

Eventually, I went out to the open place.

No, it's not where I opened it. That was a trail of destruction.

Countless trees, branches and leaves, broken and crushed by force, and traces through which something huge, clearly carved into the ground, passed. Surprisingly frosty on the ground.

It was creating a new 'road' that was too big to call the beast path, without depressed and lush grass as objects. What you can see from that is the crushing force.

Touch the trees at the end of the road. The intense cold air that the flat hand conveys through the thin gloves is due to the power of the ice tree Xiaolong (Gracial Plant). Pull the collar of the coat in tightly again and step into the aisle.

And he quietly quantified the traces of destruction created just passing by.

"... you're small"

Crushed, the path created is approximately three metres wide.

If this belonged to the Gracial Plant, it would be about a turn smaller than the carcass Tomas was pulling.

Basically, demons are as strong as they are big if they are the same species. It was a shoulder watermark for me, assuming a bigger individual than the last one based on prior information that it was stronger than the last one.

To observe from the frozen surroundings, it is definitely the demons with the power of ice that have passed through here. And no other demon of that nature inhabits the shallow part of the Vale forest.

... that's all my auxiliary (buff) was powerful...

It was hard to imagine a hunter like Tomas giving out information without adding to it, but I decided to force myself to convince him. It's the same thing to do.

Determine which way you went from the signs left, the magic.

I didn't need time. I have experience tracking.

I can tell by the thinness of the cold air and the signs left how far back I went through here.

Careful as a hound, proceed as ferociously as a hound. Signs of closer and closer, signs of struggle make me more nervous.

Quietly repeated breath becomes white water vapor and crosses into fog. The cold ground was getting deeper and deeper to that extent. Frosty ground turns into completely frozen ground.

It took me more than a dozen minutes to get there.

My distance, a dozen meters. It's the giant tail rubbing the ground and its mountain-like body that came into view.

Greens that are hard to understand in the dark but close to blue in color. A tough stretched tail and a branchy projection that was a savior growing on the back. Leaves falling from the trees freeze and shatter in the air and disappear. The phenomenon that occurs just because you're there deserves to be called a disaster.

narrowed his eyes to a much smarter appearance than Tomas' dragging carcass.

They haven't noticed yet. But the enormous magic and presence still felt after putting down a dozen meters was enough to convince Tomas of his defeat.

I watched that giant body in silence for a while, but eventually I sighed loudly.

Sigh freezes all at once and dyes vision in white. Somewhere a low roar strikes my ear that reminds me of the stirring of a dead tree.

Not good...... this guy is not just an ice tree dragon (Gracial Plant). "Top Individual."

... Chip, is Fujido also a talent for calling trouble?
