Ihoujin, Dungeon ni Moguru

<Chapter 4: Child of Fire>

The time is midnight.

The fog-filled Lemuria night is a deadly cold. It is not only the harsh cold that hides in the white darkness. Above all, the horror of a cold person is hidden.

Rumors of an invisible night robber.

Rumors of a company that disappeared overnight with the entire building.

Rumors of a monster with skin like snow.

The voice of a beast resounding from somewhere.

A woman's voice resounding from underground.

There are countless rumors that flow every day, and those who approach the truth routinely find themselves cold in the morning. All have a suspicious danger. Don't touch and don't forget.

During that night, I was waiting for someone.

The place is the east gate of the city. It was a place that was blocked shortly before.

Two causes are history and location.

This is where the city of this land was first created. Over time, the north, south, and west districts are expanded and become closer to what is now Lemuria. The Beastman Forest, home to the Beastman League, is nearby. Partly because of that, it was an area where many beasts lived.

The Knights attacked several times, killing or abducting residents, but suddenly falling snow and a number of aging buildings collapsed, leaving them unmanageable.

What remains is the ruins buried in snow and the recluse who hide behind.

I felt a dangerous gaze on the way, but when I was intimidated properly, the signs disappeared like a spider.

For better or worse, there are many such people.

"Alone?"

"I am alone"

Answer so to the voice from the dark night.

"If I wanted to bring you together, I would try to smash it. I'm confident, convinced, and it seems that I have the right skills."

The man who appeared was short-haired blonde. Dignified physique with a knife wound under the left eye.

He was in his mid-thirties, but he was reminiscent of his career.

"Ho"

I raised my voice for a surprising encounter.

The man wore a fur cloak. And black leather armor. On the waist, a wide and thick sword that is different from the long sword popular in Lemuria.

Undoubtedly King's lineage. Moreover, this guy was a bastard who killed knights, including rats, at the bar.

"It should be a meeting with the Beastman Alliance,"

A man is a him at all. No ears or tails are found.

"Yes, I'm just an attendant."

A sign behind me like pinching.

Next came a small dog-based beast.

One thin spear in my hand. She wears a black cloak in clothes like a townspeople.

A man who looks very normal.

This is an opponent who's hard to fight.

He hides Haki well. I do not see my ability. It is a type that looks weak and penetrates the heart in a breath.

"I am the head of the new Beastman Alliance"

"Give your name"

"Debra"

Hmm? It's a name I've heard somewhere.

"This man was the guard of King Lemuria. Even if he looks like this, he's a warrior."

A royal-style man will carefully explain.

"And you?"

"Is this one ...? Are you sure?"

Debra wants to say something and asks for permission from the man.

"I don't mind. No, I'm not myself. My name is Berhard or Lemuria."

"what?"

Did he say Lemuria now?

"In other words, the first son of King Lemuria. Don't be the first prince."

"Hey, stop joking."

Really a successor to real Lemuria. True, the first prince of Lemuria is already dead. Jokes are too much for deception.

"Unfortunately not a joke. Look at this."

Berhard pulls out his sword and removes the leather wrapped around the handle.

There was an impressive blue gem embedded in it.

"This is the treasure that King Lemuria acquired in his last adventure.

I've never heard of the stone. I don't even know the last adventure of King Lemuria. However, I felt something unclear in this stone.

Whether to believe this or not.

"... I understand. Let's take it as the first Prince of Lemuria."

Now follow the premonition.

Anyway, when you get home, you have Lanseal. If you check it, you can understand it in one shot.

"But don't worry about me. I'm not interested in the throne. I've abandoned all my blood and my throne."

"What?"

That's a joke.

"Forget about this person. He went with me to prove myself."

"Forget, you"

Debra says, but I can't help but seem to be the more important person.

"Forget. I just worked for my old friend."

Doesn't the story progress if you re-steam?

It suddenly distracts me.

"I see. Debra, the head of the Beastmen's Alliance.

"To obey us?"

"Not obedience, just follow my orders."

"What's different?"

Debra expressed his discomfort on his face. The feelings of a beastman who has been oppressed, but the world is a beastman long before it can be overcome with such a thing.

"Debra, this man doesn't say" don't betray. "

"Hey, you"

Put a gun on the prince who has sandwiched his mouth.

"If you attend, don't open your mouth anymore. If you're out, sell it to Elysium."

"I have a reason"

She shrugs and the prince goes down. I felt strange elegance and room.

This is Debra's staff anyway. I'll talk about this later, but now I want to take a look at Sashi. Well, it is meaningless commitment.

"I want to crush Elysium. You want to use me. So I use you too. But you're like this ... aho. Then like Orok. When the blurred eggplant comes to your head, you can easily perish, no, I can destroy it, I can destroy it alone, so follow me, I'll do good things, no loss.

It will be hard to die.

Teka, die. But don't let it die.

Are you a warrior? Do you want to die more brilliantly than to live in misery? I think this is a good opportunity. If you miss this, nothing will change. Life will only go as far as the blood and race are being cut off by the him. ''

"Don't look down on us"

Debra's voice is lowered.

It's enduring, but angry.

"Even without you, the degree of crushing the Knights ------"

"You can't get enough of it. The Beastman Alliance isn't going to come together.

"I admit Orlock was stupid. That's why I am."

Neither Orok nor Debra seem to make a difference.

"Are there any plans? Are there any plans to fight ahead in the next ten or twenty years? Killing the end thugs will replenish as many as you can. "

Line up the theories.

That's the kind of orthodox I hate.

"First, release the blood of Lemuria. Rasta Ol Razva, the cousin of King Lemuria. The source of his help.

"Debra"

The prince who couldn't see squeaks. But it's too late.

"The head easily leaks the plan. If I haven't betrayed Elysium, you're done."

Debra, I guess this guy is an excellent warrior. Unfortunately, the talent that stands on top of it is a completely different thing.

"T"

Debra holds his spear and Berhard pulls his sword.

A spear handle cut off from the middle flew into the night sky. Easy to prepare iron pattern. As I saw before at the bar, Berhard's sword arm is a master.

Can you beat me with one right arm?

"What is Berhard ?!"

"Don't hurry, Debra. Ash, I'm sorry, answer my question. Depending on your response, the Beastman League will help you. I'll do it all together."

That person is quick. He said he had left his rank, but his past covenants were alive for Lemurian relatives. It would be easy to organize the Beastman Alliance.

You can do it from the beginning.

"Say, I'll answer."

"Why do you defeat Elysium?-You feel countless but not crazy. Insects that try to kill their hosts are generally crazy. What do you want to do? What do you want to do?"

Am I a knight among them? It's a good misconception. Even without that, it's a very simple and silly reason.

Whether to believe it or not.

I guess that's what I think.

"I don't like it."

"………………Hmm?"

"That's it."

“……………”

Berhard went silent.

I was too simple to say. Sometimes words need fancy.

"I don't like it, remove the knights from Lemuria and wipe out Elysium's power."

"Reinforcement is coming"

"Maybe, then just crush it."

"You are going to be king of Lemuria?"

"No, it's not. I'm not interested in domination."

When someone like me becomes king, the rubble spreads.

Now, a white decay without people, like the scenery in front of you. It's a land of dust.

"A weird man. He has royality but no ambition. He is not interested in domination, but he urges his obedience. It seems contradictory and makes sense. Flower"

"That's not it."

It's something annoying.

"Debra, I'll bet one."

"Are you good?"

"I don't care. I bet myself and get rid of this when it happens."

"It's a daunting threat, Prince."

"Don't call me king"

Real killing flies. He hates being called a king in Lemuria's son's habit. I think it's always a pretty human.

"Then, Berhard, bring the Beastman Alliance together. I can't wait too much."

"Relieve. I'm impatient. I'll do it before dawn."

He can talk fast.
