Kuro no Maou

Eddie, a sophomore enrolled in the Knight's Course at the Royal Sparda Seminary, was pushing his classmate and party member through the mountains in southern Galahad in a spirit.

"- Then, Elina told me this."

"What?"

"I'll be waiting until you get your quest at Alliance headquarters! Holy shit!"

"Don't worry about the color of your feet. You're just so well impressed."

"Uh-oh, don't say sole. YEAH!!

Four student parties going along with funny and funny chatter as if even hiking, but by this time last year I was batting in marches all over Mount Galahad so much that I couldn't even afford to talk.

Still ranked 1, but as adventurers, no, I'd say they steadily gained that power to be knights defending Sparda.

"But if we complete this quest, we can clear up and go up to Rank 2."

"It's a fact that you can get one step closer to Miss Ellina you admire."

Right! and Eddie, who returns with high tension, the members watched with raw warm eyes.

A receptionist named Elina, who began working for the District Branch of the Sparda Adventurer Guild School last year, is a celebrity who doesn't already know anything among the Knight Course students who will be cared for in the Guild.

No, this is idol, you'd be right to say, a circle of flowers blooming in guilds where rough adventurers tend to gather and slaughter, an oasis of heart, that's her.

The elf beauty that everyone thinks of is a goddess response that treats herself cordially with a gentle smile that is soft and a student status, there is no way this is unpopular.

That's why even my buddy thought friend didn't think that Eddie, the mediocre knight candidate with only this energetic handle, could pull out numerous rivals and shoot Miss Elina's heart.

"I'll do it, by graduation, I'll definitely be just the man to take the quest at HQ!

But if this is how you burn your young passion and work to improve your skills, maybe that's a good thing.

First love never materializes, even if what a word has a nearly 100% chance of becoming a fact.

"Don't be alarmed, Eddie, 'cause no matter how many dagger raptors you put on, they're gonna have a big herd this time."

A male student in the sorcerer class, the party's staff officer, draws attention to Eddie, a slightly unreliable leader.

"Well, are there more these days?"

"We have to be careful not to jump into the Uccari Nest."

Monster force information is one of the things you should always check when taking a quest.

The monsters that live there largely are known by the region, but the circumstances in which the monsters operate, such as breeding conditions and territorial strife, are changing from moment to moment.

Information on which monsters are easy to encount also has a significant impact on pre-preparation, for example, by providing more antidotes in the event of a large number of poisonous insect monsters.

Therefore, the quest for the crusade of five Dagger Raptors ordered this time is considered to be more dangerous than the crusade of the other Rank 1 monsters, as it is likely to emerge as a large herd, given the current situation that forces are expanding.

They both admit that they already have enough strength to become rank 2, but they can never be alarmed.

"- Hey."

and, at that time, a member of the same swordsman as Eddie, who was walking in the lead, stopped.

In a serious atmosphere overflowing from him in Russia, the other three quickly prepare themselves for battle.

"What's up?

"Something burning?

Really? I tried to inquire, but a glimmer of wind blew through the trees on my lid carried a unique smell burned by fire.

"Didn't we have a fight nearby?

"I don't hear anything, so I guess that means it's over"

There are only depressed and thriving deep green forests around, and all you can hear is naturally overflowing sounds, such as the twitching of trees shaking in the wind and the chirping of birds and bugs.

I don't think it's gonna be a volcanic fire.

"No, then there must be smoke, there must still be signs of someone fighting"

It was also something that everyone could predict, without saying, a magician who would undoubtedly use flames.

"Nothing unusual seems to be happening, let's keep going"

Members who understood and responded to the leader's decision went a little more attentive and deeper into the woods than they had just done.

After all, there was an ‘anomaly' there.

"Hey, what the..."

A little further, the smell of the grass burning mixed with the smell of some creature burning also drifted away.

To that smell, which is so dense, I went ahead to see how it went,

"Wow... I burned the whole Raptor's nest down"

Extensively, there was a miserable sight of the Dagger Raptor's nest burning to death along with the many sets of parents and children there.

Originally, we went into the mountains for the life of the Raptor, and now we have no more resistance to killing.

But this scorched-earth landscape, thus exposed to overwhelming firepower and not present although it did not burn down outside the ground, has to feel somewhere merciless cruelty.

If you look closely, you can expect to see traces of soil choosing there, and many powerful flame magic shoots into the Raptor's nest.

"How many magicians can you burn away so beautifully?

"What, it was an adventurer who did it?

It is an awesome blazing destructive gesture as if it had also appeared in the flamethrower Yfried.

It would be more convincing to say that a powerful monster did it.

Because if the adventurer had done it, he would have been able to finish the fight a little smarter, at least he doesn't need an excessive range attack or anything like burning down to the grass.

"No, but here I am, definitely an adventurer."

How do you know? When Eddie was questioned by a magician, he explained by pointing to the carcass of a blackened raptor.

"The right nail is cut off, proof of the crusade."

Happily I looked around and it didn't involve big or small and all the raptors didn't have right nails.

"Seriously, I don't think so."

"I just blurred, I'm sure of rank four and above."

"But a Rank 4 Adventurer is after a Dagger Raptor's Nest?

"Maybe you just let go of the range magic on a whim, you don't know what you're thinking - he's here sometimes."

Eventually, the scene settled on the reasoning that a high-ranking adventurer mage had shot powerful flame magic at random.

Unlike knights, there are 50,000 unethical people in the profession of adventurer who can do anything to fight monsters. Sometimes these situations happen.

So I thought I saw something unusual, and the line followed the scene.

That day, the student party led by Eddie was finally unable to count with the Dagger Raptor.

Not because I was unlucky,

"What the... Dagger Raptor, didn't you wipe it all out?

As a result of walking around the mountains all day, five raptor's nests were actually burned down beautifully.

No, the raptor wasn't the only one who had burn-out concerns. The same was true of the wolf-shaped Rank 1 monster, Windle's Nest, which also lives in the mountains.

The Dagger Raptor and Windle, the region's leading rank 1 monster, both of which were attacked by nests, have greatly reduced their numbers.

Perhaps the monsters who escaped the ordeal have fled to other areas in fear of war, and there is no time to be attacked by adventurers on the road.

Thanks to this, I ended up just encounting it twice today with a few low-ranking monsters other than Raptor and Windle.

"Who, he said he did it on a whim or something"

"No, you don't normally think that a magician who can fire out just like this can snipe a Rank 1 monster"

The fifth Raptor's nest is scorching earth in one row, and I will say this in front of the sight that I have become accustomed to seeing in a day today.

"What's wrong with this? Then you won't be able to complete your quest."

"Sure, I'm not going to find it as much as I looked for it."

"Maybe it's not popular to crush rookies or anything in the guild"

If high rank adventurers get serious, they'll be catching up on low rank requests in no time.

Even though the Raptor Crusade is always issued by the Alliance, it doesn't help that you don't have someone to defeat in the first place.

If the boulder confirms the extinction of the region's monsters, the quest will also be revoked.

Most likely, in six months, the same monster from another region, or another completely different kind of monster, will reproduce and eventually return to a situation where crusade quests will be issued at all times.

But I have a problem with Sole happening now, because the quest has a deadline.

"Relax, let's move on to another tomorrow, I'm sure we'll find about five of the raptors soon"

"But if this Ifried bastard was going in the same direction as us..."

"Yamelo, don't say anything more"

Eddie stops the member's ominous prophecy.

"Anyway, let's go home today"

Agreed, along with the voice of, showed some tiredness even though we barely fought, and the line decided to leave the spot.

Please don't let the quest fail, praying.
