Disciple of Immortal

Walking inside the "Jaw of the Giant Dragon".

However, to be honest, my motivation wasn't very high.

I've already met the criteria to meet the Dragon King when I've gained a thousand points.

There's no need to take the second ordeal seriously.

There is no need to go back and report to Rygan right now.

...... It's just that that would put her in a bad mood,

When I let out a sigh, Pomela chuckled and tightened her grip on her own wand.

I'll give it my best shot, just in case?　Mr. Reagan, you made such a strong case for the "Jaw of the Giant Dragon" ...... and I think it would be troublesome to ripen it properly.

There's no doubt about it.

If Rygan sulks, you might not be able to pass the third test or prevent you from meeting the Dragon King.

You must avoid any unnecessary stingy behavior.

You know, Hey, Kanata, Pomela, let's do our best.　Uncle Raigan, don't torture him too much. Phylicia, I think that uncle is not a bad person at heart.

Filia tugged on my hem and looked up at me.

Of course, I have no intention of torturing Rygan.

I'm sure that the minions of the "ruler of the sky" are hiding in this Taoryu-land, and I don't want to be in a place where the "jaw of the giant dragon" is not so visible, where we don't even know what's there.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.

It's not a good idea to be in the public eye, and it's not a good idea to be treated like a bad person while you're away.

''And besides, Filia wants to be a holy dragon too!

Filia's eyes sparkled and she uttered that.

Filia and Pomela only lifted a rock up to five hundred points in the last ordeal.

I need another five hundred points to become a holy dragon.

The reason for this is because I was attracting too much attention and Mitsuru the transferee got crushed by a rock and made a big deal out of it, making it difficult for him to be there.

It's not necessary to have the two of them score more points than they did, of course. ......

The first thing that comes to mind is that Filia doesn't need to become a holy dragon, she can become the founder of the dragon, so I think she'll be fine. ......

However, only a holy dragon would be able to pay a visit to the Dragon King.

In order to have the two of them come with me, it would certainly be better to get five hundred points in the second trial.

I'm not even sure what we'll be doing in the third ordeal, since we haven't heard from Rygan.

The dungeon, a huge nature-generated killing trap ...... is a parade of demons with first-time killing capabilities. And to top it all off, a complex, vast, intricate labyrinthine structure!　It's not something that can be conquered at first sight. How deep into the Jaw of the Giant Dragon can you go, defying hunger and fear?　Now, this time you will learn the essence of the Dragon's Trials, ningen!

...... Rygan was gasping for air, but honestly, I don't expect to see any more dungeons here than the "Hell Hole (Cocytos)".

Or rather, I don't want it to come out.

I heard rustling, rustling footsteps.

I looked in that direction and saw a kobold with nearly ten eyeballs on his face, staring at me from a bend in the aisle.

--------------------------------------------- ...

Race: Scout Goblins

Lv : 33

HP : 99/99

MP : 82/82

---------------------------------------------

So, the entrance area is where the demons of this level come out .......

This seems to have a long way to go.

Although it looks quite eerie, judging from its name and appearance, it seems to be a scouting goblin.

Maybe it uses some kind of skill to share the information it sees in its eyeballs with its companions.

However, despite its unusual characteristics, I don't think that a monster of that level would be a threat.

I plucked the Dragon's Eye Crystal handed to me by Rygan and held it up.

It was still a beautiful white color.

It is said that the deeper you go underground, the more red it gets, but that is still a long way off.

...... If you could simply go underground, wouldn't you be able to go down through the floor?

Then I could go downstairs and turn the crystal red, and when it turns white, I could just go back downstairs and get it over with.

At my muttering, Pomela turned to me with a jittery expression.

'Ka, Kanata-san, Mr. Rygan will be mad at you ......?'

Mr. Rygan was prolix, telling me to give it my all. I think you have to do everything you can to be at your best. It's not like the rules didn't forbid it, either. If we restrict ourselves to what we can do, aren't we dealing with the ordeal seriously, since the ordeal is to get down to the lower levels?

I tap the wall with my hand.

I have a feeling that I can break it.

The problem will be the thickness.

"Kanata-san ......, are you fabricating a crappy theory because you want to get back to ...... quickly?

"I have an appointment with Ramuel-san, and I don't want to be unable to check on the status of the Taoryukgo here.

Of course, I don't want to stay in the dungeon for days at a time, because unlike Cocytos, I don't have Lunair or Noble here.

It's not like there are any Lunaer or Noble in this dungeon, unlike Cocytos.

There's no reason to be offended if you smash the floor of the dungeon and turn the crystal red.

It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

"No, but it's a bit of a breaker, Pomela doesn't agree: ......

"All right!　Leave it to Filia!　Philia, I don't want to get points in an ordeal just for following you!　Filia does!

Filia squeezes her hands into fists, giving off a pretense of confidence.

'Ha!'

As Filia held up her hands, two huge, pure white arms sprouted from the floor.

The hands had large eyeballs on them, giving them an eerie, art-like appearance.

A scout goblin, who had been scouting us from afar, opened his mouth wide and shook his body in a rut.　

'Um, Filia, stop for a moment. It's better to be delicate, or perhaps Filia isn't the right person for it, and, um, it's better to have her work hard elsewhere: ......

"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

With a shout, Filia punched the air with a weak little arm.

Two creepy objects that moved in tandem with it began to pummel the floor with their huge clenched fists.

The whole dungeon shook violently.

Cracks ran across the floor and on the walls.

'Hee, hee!　Geez, I'm sorry Kanata!　Excuse me!

I clung desperately to my body, trying to keep Pomela from falling.

A huge falling rock fell from the ceiling and dug into the floor.

I saw the corpse of a scout goblin rolling on the ground as the dungeon shook.

Following it, the wreckage of another demon could also be seen.

This alone could kill all the demons in the dungeon.

'Calm down!　Filia, calm down!　Mr. Raigan, Taoryu-go's prized "Giant Dragon Jaw" will be ruined!

I desperately grabbed Filia by the shoulders and stopped her.

'Yes, but Kanata, you said it would be a disservice to your ordeal if you didn't do everything you could: ......

"I was wrong!　Anyway, stop it, Phylicia!
