Kuro no Maou
Episode 206: Fire Dragon's Nest
"Whoa!? What the hell is going on here!?
Kai, a power idiot swordsman, stepped into the Fire Dragon's Nest and opened his mouth with the most such cry.
Normally, it's a good time for someone to scratch "creepy," but no one, including me, can do that now.
Because it wasn't two giant salamanders waiting for us in this Fire Dragon's Nest, it was a pile of monster carcasses.
"Hih, that's terrible..."
Next to me, Nell turned away unexpectedly from the tragedy of the 'Light (Torch)' lights illuminating with a thin frown.
Without distinction between large and small, strong and weak, all kinds of monsters living in the Galahad Mountains crawl around there eating a thousand cuts of good fleshy areas and exposing them to miserable scars.
A good number of carcasses, no, leftovers, should I say?
"What, did Salamander do all this?
Charles is also frowning at this bloody smelly sight, but he's still staring firmly at it to see what's going on, like the princess of the boulder is a temperamental sparda?
"No, I'm not."
And Safi, the corpse psychic (Necromancer) who is most used to seeing the body, told me the results of his cold observation of the surroundings everywhere.
"Salamander is a carnivore, but even if you eat the same monster, you always aim for the grass-fed one, this pile of carcasses also has a massive mix of carnivorous monsters"
I see, no matter how powerful an individual's salamander becomes, he doesn't even eat an inedible prey.
"It's a mix of plant-based monsters."
I kept saying that, looking at the wooden golem that was losing every head of the lush green leaves and Matango's body that was only a thousand bites chopped off, at the end of my gaze.
"Uh, what do you mean," sole "?
Let go of the idiot named Kai, if you're a bareback.
"Well, then, this means after all the omnivorous monsters have eaten all over the place."
"That sort of thing"
And that means that a monster other than Salamander had a nasty scattered meal in this Fire Dragon's Nest.
There is no way that a couple of salamanders who are willing to raise their children here can forgive a guest who behaves like that.
Then,
"That ‘omnivorous monster’, he also ate the salamander that lived here," he said.
Proof of my words was right in front of me.
"This is-"
Char, who saw the sole, is breathtaking, and the other members are also very small in their reactions, but they can't hide their surprises.
I'm also quite surprised by the unexpected sight.
There's no way you can predict the rare big salamander you've seen in recent years with two friendly, torn apart, devoured bodies rolling around.
"From the size of it, it doesn't look wrong."
Safi, the calmest of all, detects Salamander's carcass.
The wings fall apart from the tails, but even if you take one of those areas, you can see that they are at least one size larger than the normal salamander.
Finally, parts of the size that obviously seemed to be chicks were also rolling.
You ate without leaving any parents or children, it's a story of bad chest feces.
"Oh, well, then I... who the hell did it"
The question Nell raised with a slightly trembling voice, that's something everyone should think of.
"The strongest thing in this neighborhood is Salamander, that's gotta be it."
"Yeah, that's for sure, unless you have so many irregulars - and now you're that irregular"
As Charles asked himself, this is an undisputed and irregular matter.
Dungeons In designated locations, monster activities are basically researched and researched, and all ecology is grasped.
But it's completely unclear what the hell is causing it, and sometimes a very powerful monster occurs in the sieve.
"No, Will's guy, you said the monster was escaping from the summit."
"Oh, well, that kind of cot!
Monster habitat fluctuations were caused not by salamanders, but by the emergence of another monster that preys on all these monsters.
"Well, then we've come to the nest of monsters more dangerous than salamanders."
Safi says such ominous things with a creepy smile on her face.
"Ooh, that means you can fight him stronger than Salamander, that's awesome!
Kai, you need to shut up for a second.
Charles, who reacted a moment earlier than I did, thrust me into discipline.
"For once, shouldn't you retire, brother?
Nell could have done better, we came all the way here to fight Salamander in the first place.
In other words, gear and the like are used against salamanders, and they are definitely not things prepared for fighting other monsters.
Changing gear to match your opponents (monsters) is common sense on the part of adventurers.
Holy water helps a lot if you deal with undead, but in salamander opponents, it doesn't work no matter how much holy water you hang.
"Oh, but I don't know -"
I looked back at the entrance as I lay my hands on the sword I lowered from my waist, no special built love sword pattern called the 'knife'.
"- Unfortunately, the landlord here has returned."
There, a single monster stood.
"What, he!?
I don't even know the answer to the surprise, Charles.
Monsters that appear without sound are slightly smaller than salamanders, but the killing spirit emanating from the whole body is amazing.
A monster about six metres tall, dressed in black and red fur, a wolf-like sharp face on a musculoskeletal giant body, from whose head he produces long ears as distinctive as a ravioli.
But the most eye-catching thing would be that your right arm has been cut off from both arms and lost.
Truly a handy beast, no, you should call it a handy warcraft.
"That's probably Larspun."
"Boulder Safi, you're sensible."
The genius girl from Corpse Psychiatrist (Necromancer) is also familiar with monsters, because he aims to create the strongest me (Simobe) in every monster's good spot.
Research and research into materials (monsters) can also be considered one of her hobbies.
"A rare monster in Rank Five, by the way -"
Safi gave me some information that I was a little curious about while retrieving his favorite magic book (spellbook) from the magic team of spatial magic (dimension) he drew from hand.
- Twenty years ago, His Majesty Leonhardt took over the last case.
"Well, today's record update." Wing Road is crusading. "
By then, we're all ready for battle.
The avant-garde is me and Kai, the rear guard is Charles and Safi, and Nell at the rear refrains, our basic formation.
A rank five monster with a rare name, such as Larspun, stares at this one with a vicious eye, while clearly showing off his wear and tear.
"I don't know who did this to me, but I'm sorry to hear that, Teme. Let me discuss it with you."
