Kuro no Maou

Episode 260: Conquering Greed

The 'Ischia Hill' in the Rank 3 dungeon is a vast dungeon spanning the two countries of Sparda and Farren.

In the first place, it is not the right use to call an area of nature a dungeon, but for adventurers, whether it is in the ruins or in the woods, all the fields fighting monsters are enlarged and learned because they recognize it in bulk as a dungeon.

Anyway, it's a rich naturally wrapped Ischian hill, but there's a wide variety of monsters living there more than they call it a dungeon.

This area, known as the 'Thundercloud Marsh', one swamp that just went through the depressed and lush deep woods around the hills, is also included in the range of the Ischian hills.

If an adventurer had just stood here and looked over this swamp, he would not have understood why this place would bear a disturbing name such as‘ Thundercloud ’.

It's spreading there because there's just one thin, dirty little swamp cloudy with mud, and it doesn't have any features to attach and attract the eye.

A swamp without any change of philosophy, such as that found in any forest, and a stop by Flari and Monster in search of water to that swamp are also the natural sights to be seen anywhere in this world.

But the monster that appeared on this scene now was a fairly rare species.

Goggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!

And a loud acoustic roar blasts all the way through the earth.

Momentarily the ground burst for more than a dozen meters, blowing up every tree that had its roots down there, really cracking the earth and the monster appeared here.

The heavily blown dust pours down into the surrounding unity like a scowl, and the dust pours down, which is exactly as the script reads.

It was the monsters that appeared with this muddy rain that have been rumored in the Guild these days to be rank 5 monsters, the Greed Gore.

Dinosaurs, no, they have a typical form in this other world rightly called grounddragons in bulk, namely the form of heads and tails lining horizontally with bipedal walks like dagger raptors.

But this Gleedgore was so giant that it could not be compared to a rank 1 monster around two meters, that even if that was the only number that doubled the rank.

There will actually be 30 meters from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail, the total height is also superior to 10 meters, which falls into a fairly large category among a few monsters.

It has a rectangular horned head with a brick colour that covers the entire body and a dinosaur-shaped golem.

Although it is a golem with a high affinity for earthly attributes, it will be seen that this greedgore possesses the intrinsic magic (extra) of the earth powerful enough to manipulate it, as it traveled through the earth in its giant.

If there were other monsters around, we might have seen that unique magic (extra) is used to attack.

Most monsters, such as most monsters, can only be affordable bait for a bite-size grid gore, so monsters that can fight enough to elicit abilities will not exist given the rank of this dungeon.

As if to prove it, the monsters lurking around at the time Greedgore showed up more than in the ground were trying to escape at first sight.

Luckily now Greedgore seemed to be more thirsty than hungry, showed no interest in signs of walking away from himself, and proceeded straight to the swamp.

Most importantly, after your throat is moistened, you will eat up all the fish, bugs and monsters that live in the swamp as they are to fill your greedy stomach.

Because Greedgore has come this far, devouring everything that is ahead of him.

Zuchin, and whenever a step is taken by sounding a heavy noise, the swamp spreads ripples.

There was no such thing as an inhibitor of super-weight gait, and as if he was naturally aware of it, Greedgore moved his nose closer to the muddy surface with no attention to the surrounding area.

When you open a vicious oral cavity lined up with fangs as big as a knife, no, and as big as you can already call them swords, you begin to sip with momentum as if you were going to drink up all the water in the swamp as it is.

But at this time, it was as if the time had come to stop this lusty giant before the water level in the swamp dropped, and a thunderbolt could be played at the tip of Gridgore's nose.

Short scream - no, with a voice of intimidation, Greedgore raises his head off the water.

From all around, a bee and an electric shock sounded so tall that they could play, if you notice, the black mist was starting to set in all around the swamp.

No, this black cloud actually contains violet electricity in it, then this rightly deserves to be called a thundercloud.

In no time, the dark clouds of electric shock covered the entire swamp, including the greedgore.

This swamp has come to be known as the 'Thundercloud Marsh' because it occurs as if this thundercloud had been dropped onto the ground as it is.

And a monster who was responsible for this phenomenon appeared in front of Gleedgore.

Slowly emerged from the bottom of the swamp so that the water was raised intact was a large fish with creepy purple slippery skin.

If you show up in a nutshell, there is nothing more to it than "catfish". Its giant fish possess all the characteristics, such as a wide mouth on a flat head, a long moustache, and a scaleless body surface covered in mucus.

Body length is definitely over ten meters, it's hard to imagine there are dozens and hundreds of fish of this size lurking due to the size of the marsh, possibly in places like this marsh lord.

However, the biggest characteristic of this giant monster is not the size of the body, but the inherent magic (extra) that manipulates powerful lightning attributes.

That is the electric catfish type monster called Hazard Rank 3 'Maznakurus'.

Goaaaaa!!

A brilliant glimmer of thunder struck the purple toward the greedgore, which opened its mouth wide and made a roar of intimidation.

The Maznakrus thunderbolt is not a brace type that shoots out of the mouth, but a blast type that releases from the whole body.

The electric shock, just released from around the back, progresses by drawing a trajectory that looks like a lightning strike has turned sideways.

And unlike just thunder, every time you go straight ahead, it's big, thick, and it's increasing the amount of electricity that resides in it.

The thundercloud that covers this swamp is one of the capabilities of the Maznakrus, so to speak, the junction of thundering attribute enhancement.

Most importantly, it cannot be activated alone, and for the first time the effect is exerted by other Maznakurus living in the swamp working together.

When an external enemy emerges that poses a crisis to the marshes, which are all of the world in which they live, even though they are inherently unscrupulous maznacles of flocks, they act in unison to face it.

This is how Maznakurus challenged Greedgor, who recognized that he would have enough power to destroy the world, according to wild instincts that sometimes demonstrated rationality enough to outweigh people's intelligence.

The thunderstorm that struck the survival of the species of Maznaksr reached the point where it was as huge as a serpent by the time it reached Greedgor, burning everything it touched and hitting a giant body like a rock mountain.

Is Gleedgore not agile enough to avoid a thunderbolt, or he strikes straight without moving a step?

The violet electricity, which could be played in abundance, continuously sparked a dazzling light as if it had burned even blinding flashes (flashes).

Not only is it flashy in appearance, but it is powerful enough to defeat an approximate monster as a matter of fact, even the opponent that it is that crosses a person's ordained rank.

to the electric shock emitted by the Lord of the Swamp, a blow that other individuals intensify (boost), as if it were a collaborative attack of the Adventurer Party. But

Goggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!

I didn't get to defeat Greedgore.

The brick-like crust has become exactly like a baked brick for the act of being struck by intense lightning strikes.

But only then did the electric shock not reach beneath the thick and firm crust.

Sometimes soil attributes in terms of defense are substances that are stiff in themselves, demonstrating an overwhelmingly superior ability to other attributes.

Especially ideal to prevent lightning, not to mention the difficulty in the street of rock electricity, the electric heat generated there can also be sufficiently blocked.

From the Maznakrus, it can be said that the soil attribute specialization greedgore is the worst compatible opponent.

And Greedgore walked slowly toward the swamp, as if he knew his advantage.

I go straight ahead with the Maznakurus hanging floating in the middle of the swamp, waving a great deal of water with Zabzab.

Having been invaded by his own territory, Maznakrus finally starts swimming to slip through the water as he releases his thunder at full force from his body more than ten meters high.

Greedgore, who opens his mouth and tries to eat giant meat, and Maznakurus, who tries not to eliminate external enemies in order to protect him and everything in the world.

The two hit a straight line in the swamp without any hesitation at all.

The battle came with a blow.

Maznakurus, who had struck the maximum power thunderstorm at the same time as his body, was still eaten and chopped off his abdomen by a greedgore who did not take that attack for granted.

Mixed with muddy water, the red and black liquid spreads.

Maznakurus, who was snubbed around part of his belly with a giant jaw, is already desperate, only with a reflexively moving tail banging strongly on the surface of the water.

When Greedgore gave a joyous voice to the capture of the big man, it was then that he opened his mouth again, not to devour the Lord here in the middle of the swamp as it was.

A glimmer of electric shock jumped out of his eaten stomach.

No, that's not thunder if you look closely, it wraps up purple electricity that you can play, but that was something else.

A twisted snake-like lower body and a man with arms and head, which is shaped much like a species called Lamia, but...

Goaaa!?

Before I could clearly see what that mysterious electric shock was, it jumped into the mouth that Gleedgore had opened.

I shut my mouth reflexively without chewing something up creepy, but I just made a noise with the kid and my fangs scratched each other.

Without the technique of doing anything about the presence that disappeared into his mouth, Gleedgore, who felt no immediate abnormality, resumed his meal as if he had forgotten the presence of electric shock as it was.

The change took place after eating up the meat of Maznakrus.

It was as if the meat eaten was poisonous, that is, the Gridgore suddenly suffered.

As many as thirty meters of giants storm on the swamp waters with all their might, so a giant water column blows up as if a unit of magicians is tapping into the simultaneous firing of attack magic.

But before long, it also healed, and at last the effort was exhausted, and Greedgore sank quietly to the bottom of the swamp.

Dead, it only seemed so if anyone was watching from the side, but in the next moment, Gleedgore surfaces again.

So this time, he turned back to the ground as if nothing had happened.

Soon the Thundercloud junction has disappeared and the surroundings are completely back to their original landscape.

But for some reason, it still only keeps sounding like the violet-powered sound of a bee.

The source of that sound is Gleedgore, but the intrinsic magic (extra) that dwells there is only an earthly attribute, and no way can it even produce as much electricity as firefly light.

But now Greedgore was wrapped in a wicked purple glow from all over his body, as if he were a Maznakurus.
