"But the reward, it's quite deducted."

"Hmm. Well, Cindy and the blast warhead could have been commissioned. Kazane will be delighted."

Return from the city of Endeavour. They were walking down the mountain path at dusk.

Three days had already passed since the city's recapture operation, and the Jinlai, who served their purpose, were on their way home. I plan on getting Bowflower to pick it up with a return wedge (Returners Staker) on the way home, but that was to be a week later. Until then they had a stomach to travel appropriately.

It should be noted that the city of Endeavour, but at the stage of defeating Araknewired, the head, the demons of the subdivision lost their dominance, where the Mixed Army attacked once and for all, and the Mad Spiders who tried to escape the city to literally scatter spider children were also preordained by the adventurers who waited.

In the future there awaits the sweep of nearby demons, including individuals who have also broken through its enclosure, and the task of crushing the rest of the Mad Spiders who would be lurking inside the city, but that was the role of the soldiers of the kingdom of Dynth stationed in the city.

Therefore the Jinlai, who had fulfilled their request and received their reward, had already left the city, but their reward was half of what it had initially been. That was also because he asked for a voluntary reduction to take account of the buildings destroyed by Jinlai.

Jinlai herself can't do much scattering, and the spear has a pretence that she thinks is the best. There is too much to spend on alcohol and there is currently no need to seek rejuvenating medication.

So for Jinlai today, he only spent so much money asking the wind to modify Cindy, which was his prosthetic arm, etc. It should be noted that Rhinox didn't even care enough to say it by mouth because he wasn't particularly attached to money either.

"Well, Jinlai. I hope you're good. And was it Arachnewire? He was quite the enemy, but he wanted a little more help."

"If we let the Dark Forest through, we'll be the best of the demons out there. Nevertheless, if you unthread the spider, you can't help but feel that you're not enough because you're just a positive opponent."

In return for that jinrai, Rhinox said, "Forest of darkness. Still there," he murmured.

Given his strength, Rhinox again thinks it still seems difficult to challenge his limits unless he is also his opponent in the Dark Forest. Freed from heavy duty and able to spend time thinking only of spears with a rival named Jinlai, the desire for the strong was swirling stronger than ever in Rhinox.

"Don't rush, Rhinox. I gave up the heavy baggage that was on my shoulder. Don't forget to enjoy yourself now."

"I know. But I pushed that heavy load on your grandson."

I return that with a face that Rhinox seems just a little sorry for.

As the word suggests, Rhinox was now freed from the status of Grand Duke only because Lyle, the grandson of Jinlai, reigned King and the position of Grand Duke disappeared with the name of the Principality. Jinlai says, "Well, you'll be fine with that."

"Lyle is now one of the famous heroes, with his achievements and titles in his hands. Besides, he has time for dragons. Unlike Yukito, the White King, who was once destroyed by neighbouring countries, the Kazane alliance has also deepened our friendship with our neighbours. It's a heavy thing to carry."

Jinlai laughs even though she says so.

"But he carried even the soul of a dragon. The vessel was proven, and strength was poured into it as well. There are problems. Assuming we do, we have company."

Rhinox laughed back at the words, "Then you can't worry about it."

The name of the Dragon King Lyle, the blood of the Divine Dragon Emperor Naga, the eminent family of Heyvern, and even more so in the battle against the devil, who kept himself at the forefront to defend his country, was now so glorified not only in the Kingdom of Heyvern, but also in the southern part of the Philon continent as one of the greatest heroes.

He also planned to overlap his achievements as the first king of the nascent Hyvern kingdom, which was now still preparing to move the Emperor's Tower, but which all stopped the fall of the floating island.

It should be noted that the former Grand Duke was sometimes a virgin (Rhinox), that there was no opponent to target that position, and that no ugly physical strife arose also set his position as a cornerstone. It was an unknown feat of the great virgin (Rhinox).

"Virginity......"

With that in mind, Jinlai laughs lonely thinking that she has gone terribly far away and that her grandson and woman are still best friends she doesn't know. As Rhinox tilted his neck at the look and Jinlai turned his gaze elsewhere trying to escape that gaze, he noticed something and pointed his finger at it.

"Oh, look at that. It's Rhinox."

There was a shadow at the tip of that finger, far away. It was a shadow that came out of the shadows of the mountains, too immense.

"Oh. No way, is that what I am... of Criccarat? I can't help but think it's big enough to get confirmation from this place."

Rhinox says so with a surprise face.

Beyond their gaze was something in the shape of a giant man.

Standing alongside the mountains is too big.

The name of its existence is called the super class A dungeon "Criccarat's Massive Rock Man".

Once, the largest mobile dungeon in the world that no adventurer or army could attack, not even a party of Rank S adventurers. It is a giant dungeoned golem that is difficult to break into the dungeon itself in the first place, and is not only able to supply from outside the dungeon because it is constantly moving, but also impossible to seal because it is constantly moving.

From within the dungeon there was always an overflow of high-ranking demons, rarely, but it was also one of the culminations for adventurers to aspire to by making it the biggest catastrophic presence on the Philon continent, that if there was a city on the route of travel, there was no doubt of devastation.

"The demons' leaps have revitalized the River of Magic (Nagarine). I guess the magic has gone south because of the darkening. But that position could possibly go through the Highvern."

Jinlai narrows his eyes and thinks while saying so.

The concentration of the Magic River (Nagarine) flowing through the sky is basically assumed to be darker on the northern side of the continent. However, as a result of the demons messing with the flow of the river of magic (Nagarine) everywhere, the flow of magic on the southern continent's side had thickened, resulting in activations such as the forest of darkness. That has been the main cause of the anomalies in the southern continent over the past few years.

And "Criccarat's Boulder Man" is a demon that, because of its enormity, can only operate in areas where the river of magic (Nagarine) is thick, but Jinlai speculated that it has apparently come to the south, where the demons' influence has made the magic thicker.

Looking at such a giant, Rhinox opens his mouth.

"If so, I need to keep in touch with Heyvern... hey Jinlai, I saw that one and came up with a little something"

"What?

Rhinox laughs huffily at Jinlai, who shakes his neck.

"I'm sure you were talking about not being able to build a scaffold for the offense to keep moving."

"Oh. Apparently, but what's wrong with that?

In return, Rhinox said "if" and gave his index finger to Criccarat's giant rock man.

"If you have a return wedge (Returners Staker) or a transfer device (Portal), would you bring it anytime close to that one?

"Ho, that's an interesting story"

Jinlai's eyes shine on Rhinox's suggestion. In fact, Jinlai immediately understood that it was a good idea. Engraving the wedge of return (Returners Staker) will make it possible for us to attack at any time, and if we can install a transfer device (portal), it will be possible for other adventurers to challenge us. What a fascinating suggestion.

"Mm-hmm. Sure looks handsome. You'll have to talk to your leader about this when you get home. Yeah, Kazane would definitely be interested in riding, too. Because I'm the best, we're the only race that loves it."

Jinlai, a fellow wind sounder, said and nodded, and Rhinox laughed niggardly that there was a chance, and Shippu, who responded to his masters' exuberance, roared "Nah" on the spot.

Later that day, that Rhinox suggestion was accepted, and a group of whites would be challenging the 'Criccarat's Boulder Man' after an extra turn...... but that's a little further.

The Jinlai now look at the top, which they will eventually challenge, and start walking back on the road as they dish it out for their journey. And it was time for two and one shadow to slowly turn away from the spot on the day of twilight.
