Monster no Goshujin-sama

26. The End of Stagnant Time

26

The raid was sudden.

When I realized it, the 'fog junction' protecting the inside of the dragon abyss was unraveling.

A junction that closed its sight and had the power of stray was essential for the dragons to live in hiding in this world.

That's what solved it.

This has never happened since I built an interior in this land.

What confused us all was that we had no choice.

Only a few people, including Rex, were able to make an immediate move.

Anyway, they tried to find out what happened.

There was an ambush on its arrow tip.

There was an intruder inside.

The number is three.

They carried out a massive magic attack and blew inside.

There were no buildings left, and several people who had missed the escape were sacrificed.

The magic attack was interrupted and a raider appeared beyond the rising smoke.

The Rex went to war, stripping away their true nature as dragons.

The dragon has so much power that it can't compare to a normal monster.

Yet there were still nearly twenty bodies left, even though several people had been killed.

To crush the raiders who took the lives of their brothers, they stripped their fangs.

"Gwow!"

Raging mad dragon rage.

Rex was at the head of the brothers, rambling around.

Being children of the crustacean dragon Malvina, they have strongly inherited their nature.

The large body is covered with sturdy crusts, which are not even frightened by normal monster opponents.

However, Rex's body is particularly huge.

With an average of around ten meters, the brothers boast a magnificent giant exceeding twenty meters.

The crust is thick enough for one person and won't even scratch with a half-breed attack.

That was supposed to happen.

But the enemy was strong.

So much more than the Rex and their common sense.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

A hammer blow rolled out with the roar turned Lex's giant down.

"I got it!

The sword waved where the movement had taken place, deciding where it was not covered by crusts.

"Guh...... GOOOOO!

"Hey, dude."

Rex fights back, but it doesn't work.

Extremely powerful nails are avoided and braces are magically offset.

Rex!

Ella screamed at her struggling brother.

To my sister's call, Rex screamed.

Stay back, Ella! Yeah, you abominable humans!

I grumble and curse, but the words don't make sense to them.

Because while you're taking the dragon figure, you can't use human language.

However, in this case, the words may not have made sense either way.

"You're hard, this guy"

A dark-haired, still young boy blurred with a giant hammer pattern on his shoulder.

The other swordsman was also a boy.

It doesn't look very familiar with the battle, but the magic that overflowed its body was way off track.

The power to wield is unreasonably strong.

So much so that I'm sure I can save the world.

Shit! These guys, they're metastasizers!

Knowing who the enemy was, Rex groaned.

The voice sounded hopeless.

It was because I judged the situation correctly.

The power in the dragon abyss was sufficient, but not everyone was able to mobilize immediately.

Anyway, beyond my assumptions, things were sudden.

Originally, even if humans attacked us inside, it would have taken us a while to forcefully get out of the 'Fog Boundary' and there should have been only time to escape.

I had never imagined that 'The Fog Boundary' would suddenly be lifted.

Initially, against the three metastasized opponents, the dragon inside fought in his favor.

But it wasn't instantaneous killing because I was thoroughly defended, and they bought me a small amount of time.

In the meantime, there was enemy reinforcement.

Even so, about ten.

But if all of them were transferees - there was no longer a winner.

Already, there were two dragons exposed to giant corpses on the spot.

"Ella! Cass! Take the sisters and run!

The screaming Rex slapped his nails on the metastatic boy, who accidentally jumped on him.

"Oops!?

Although he defended himself aggressively, the boy was bounced off and struck in the back on the ground.

One of my associates will retrieve him from extinction.

At the time he was able to do so, Rex swung his tail against another enemy and threw up a flaming brace.

I'll take care of this!

Catch the Raiders and give them a dragon roar.

Along with that, the scratchy younger brothers also gave a shout of death.

"Oh, no...!

Cass!

Ella took control of Cass, who objected.

"... we'll split up and run."

Ella rang the back of her throat with a grunt.

It sounded mindless.

Though I only embarrassed my sister, I guess the inside is the same thing.

Now that I know it, Cass rattled through the dragon's fangs.

"Ugh, uhh...! All right! All right!

In response to Ella's words that trembled, he turned his back on his brothers.

Naturally, if nearly half of them escape, the raiders will notice that too.

"Ah! Those guys, we're getting away!

"Don't let him get away, chase him!

Let it be!

Rex stood up before the metastasizers trying to chase him.

"I won't let you through here...!

I had no hesitation in cementing my readiness to die.

Rex is the 'protector' inside.

But I didn't have the strength to protect someone from the beginning.

Rex was a crybaby.

I followed Sadias well from a young age.

But the day the father of the former brave man was killed, Rex changed.

Because my father left young Rex and Sadias telling me to protect my family.

All the older brothers have died.

I thought we had to be able to protect our brothers and sisters.

Rex's stubborn personality was a distortion that corrected his original personality but was born for.

If I hadn't, I wouldn't have been strong.

As a result, Rex became the man he is now.

I worked up physically and mentally to get the biggest body and thick crust armor except for my great mother.

Everything is to protect my family.

In fact, Rex has eaten so far as to shelter his attacks on other brothers while first challenging intruders.

It was as a result of his struggle that the two victims were finished.

"I'll make you regret what you've stepped into us, humans!

Leveraging the giant, Rex went wild.

I didn't think I could survive, etc.

I just couldn't just be trampled on like this.

For the sake of my family, even a second longer, I needed to buy time.

It was a force for that.

That easy, Crustacean Dragon Rex can't be killed.

... the irrational incarnation of the opponent overturning the principle, if not even the brave one.

"All right, I'm ready. Everybody, back off!

One of the guards gave a signal.

At the same time that the avant-garde retreated, a magnificent, red, radiant magic formation unfolded into the universe.

Approximately, it was not something that could be created by ordinary magic.

"Ko, is this...!?

That's right. Rex was out of line, too.

The flaming magic of the fifth staircase.

The greatest and most powerful violence in this world is currently opening its brutal jaw...

- Guys, back off. - Yeah!

"Burn it!"

Extreme magic is activated, allowed only by some limited among the brave.

The aim was Rex, who was fighting at the center of the dragons.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!?

A fireball that also surpassed Rex's giant was ejected from the magic formation.

Rex!

Looking back Cass screams.

Right in front of him, Rex's body swallowed by a fireball.

A scorching whirlwind rolled up and the earth swayed.

About one of the towns was big enough to let it blow away.

All the dragons who were fighting near Rex were knocked down even though they didn't make a direct hit.

The stirring heat also stirred Cass's body in a remote place, and the seared crust had heat.

Now the direct hit Rex...

In the sight of Cass, who lost his mind, a change took place.

"Lick...... Runah"

In the still burning flames, a great shadow moved.

Step forward, step forward again.

You can't lose, just with that heart.

Out of the flames, the giant emerges.

It seemed tragic.

The thick crust was carbide by heat, and the thick crust ran vertically and horizontally due to thermal expansion.

The one eye that missed shelter was cloudy, and the wings on his back collapsed and fell only with walking vibrations.

But he's alive.

I haven't killed it all.

It was a moment when years of obsession finally overturned even the brave man's irrationality.

"To this extent…… die, stop…"

Keep the will, Rex gets out of the flames.

The figure was brave, and that's why - it was pathetic.

"I haven't... ah?

A loud voice.

The only remaining eyeball reflected a huge, double-expanded magic formation.

"What...?

Stunned, Rex opened his eyes.

This is also the great magic of the Fifth Staircase.

Sometimes it was unfolded by one boy.

Normally, there is only one magic formation that can be deployed to one person.

The only exception is the use of the Spirit, but that is simply to say that the Spirit can deploy his own magic formations.

Multiple deployments of magic formations alone are impossible.

But it was a creature called the brave who made that insanity a reality.

"That's a lot of endurance. It's a big deal to be a dragon."

Said the boy who deployed the magic formation.

He was one of the ten people who joined him later as reinforcements.

Try to raise your arms high in conceited condition.

"But it's not enough to deal with me."

The boy's name is Kazuo Okazaki.

In the expedition, he was a boy known by two names: The Versatile Vessel.

The raised finger rings.

Five giant ice spears pierced Rex's body, shot down from above.

"Shit, ahhh!? Ahhhhh!?

The crust is crushed, worn, and blood erupts.

Both feet in both hands, tail.

Rex, who had been slammed, gave a groan of pain.

But that's not the end of it.

The second magic formation was activated and the earth protruded.

The arms of a giant made of rock and earth stand high in heaven.

Thick and hard, the weight is enormous.

So dull, but only devastating.

I had no choice but to avoid this, but there was nothing I could do about it if it had been turned against me.

In Rex's eyes, a fist of rock shook down.

"I... take all of you..."

That was the final word.

There was a roar.

One wish was lost forever.

The dragons, including Cass, had no choice but to watch.

"No. That was pretty tough."

As if there had not been a slight sight earlier, I thought it would be obvious.

I still had room to stand and behave, although I was just a little tired of seeing if I was burdened.

"Request of the Lord of the Coma Forest to Crusade. I'm glad you're here to help. At this point, one of you may have had a victim."

One of the people who heard the bragging looked upset.

But a boy with a harsh impression took control of him trying to say something.

"... oh. Thank you."

Shichiya Jingu.

This one also had two names known as' Dragon Man 'in the expedition.

And he was also the one who brought his thoughts to the land.

"I appreciate your cooperation"

"What? I don't care."

I thought about it.

At the corner of town a while ago, it was in the same light tone as when I undertook to cooperate with Shichiya Jingu, who had been in contact.

"The Coma Forest is a threat to human life in this world. The Lord of the Woods must crusade. That's our duty as brave men."

It was common sense as a matter of course in this world that thoughts spoke.

Whoever impugned the doubt was not on the spot.

"But there is also a risk in doing so. If possible, we have to do it safely. You can understand the attention of Shinguji Temple. That's why I came here, too. Though I also feel a little too cautious"

"It's..."

"I know. Until now, there was Shikun Jingu, a small aristocratic territory in the west. Leaving the expedition, I was wondering if there were any self-destructing ones. I think you're overthinking it."

"... I hope so"

"Whatever, it wouldn't matter here. This is an absolutely safe crusade. Anyway, you're here, and I'm here."

The Expedition has two names.

In addition, more than ten transferees.

It would not have been in the past that the coma forest was attacked by so much force.

To add, this comatose forest has exceptionally few monsters.

This is because the dragons in the dragon abyss were spotting the monsters so that they could not be seen by the damage done to human society.

For that reason, the intruders arrived here without much fatigue.

"Well. Shall we talk about it later?"

Thoughts cut the story off.

"Let's end the dragon exorcism"

My gaze was turned on Cass and the others.

"If it escapes, it could harm the powerless."

"Ugh..."

Even just the aftermath of the magic exercise on Rex earlier, the Cass were pretty scratched.

Not to mention, if you get attacked directly, you don't get one.

The inflexible dragon, too, was only a prey when this happened.

"Shall we?"

Desperate pursuit plays begin.

- If it stayed that way, it would have happened.

"This was unexpected."

That's when the shadows fell over the heads of the little hunters.

Too huge a shadow.

"Become!?

Looking a little, the metastasizers put their feet together.

"I didn't even think about it. I can't believe" The Fog's Boundary "was first lifted."

It was the winged crustacean dragon Malvina that interrupted the tracking of the children.

Mother!

Malvina responds to the call, Cass.

"I'm sorry you're late. Eat your feet."

I never looked back on my child.

His eyes were gazing at the metastasizers without alarm.

"Come on, I'll deal with you, man!

Mother, no! We fight too!

As Cass said, Malvina snorted.

"Don't be silly. Run, Cass. You will survive. Whatever happens."

"This is the lord of the unconscious forest! Guys, pull yourself together!

While we talked, the boys hung up on each other.

Exactly, I guess I couldn't help but be vigilant in front of this huge monster.

In itself, it was also convenient for Malvina.

Only the time you've been discreet increases the chances that the Cass will get away with it.

"Even if..."

Malvina exhaled small as she felt the signs of the Cass moving away.

"'I don't know what you're talking about just now,' hey. Totally. I wish I had the 'Translation Demon Stone' too, that I couldn't easily get hit with one of my grudges..."

Unlike the children, Malvina can manipulate the humanities as they look like dragons.

But in the first place, even human beings cannot communicate their will by language without the 'demonic stone of translation' with the metastasizers who come from different worlds.

It was impossible to appeal to ourselves to be rational than we could discuss.

Most importantly, it may not have been a big deal here.

Because verbal reconciliation is no longer possible.

"Hmm. I see. That's the kind of karaki that made it through" The Fog's Boundary ""

Malvina's eyes narrowed as she increased the magic inside her body, observing a group of enemies.

At the end of that gaze was the appearance of Jingu Shi Chiya.

"The same 'ability to turn that body into a dragon' as that guy? No, you had a lot of metastasizers coming, like fools. Wouldn't it be strange if you had something of the same ability"

Shichiya Jingu deserved two names: "The Dragon Man," spreading his dragon wings on his back.

That was what invalidated 'The Fog Boundary'.

"'Misty Boundary', which shouldn't be so easy to get out of except for a dragon, doesn't make sense for the other person with the same dragon. You've been hit."

Malvina exhaled.

"Well, there are things that don't fall in your heart, but there's nothing you can do about it if you don't get the word right. No. In the first place, what's the point of asking now?...... Hmm. I was supposed to be ready."

Malvina has lived a long time.

I thought I'd lived long enough, and sometimes even thought that if humans pushed me into this, I could be crusaded as a child.

I didn't have the energy to survive anything.

He was robbed, fled, and had no choice but to live in hiding.

But it was a little different now.

Because she was meeting hope.

An old friend brought in, a boy who reminds me of a loved one who once mourned.

You don't have to hide and live like this until you get where you want to go, and the kids live their lives in relaxation.

Then I might have been able to redo my relationship with my little girl who got screwed.

I might have been told that I love you.

There must have been such a future.

But that's it for me.

That was the last thought, rationally spinned by Crustacean Malvina.

From here on in, she decided to turn into a monster of hatred.

"... how dare you, humans"

The light behind his eyes, which was always rational, was anointed with ever-blacker emotions.

A stepped foot stepped on a blood pond spreading from Rex's remains without his neck.

My dear children.

A routine that was serene, even as a result of escape and stagnation.

Taken away. Broken. I was trampled.

Never, never forgive.

Even if they, the enemy, knew nothing of their circumstances and just attacked them with a sense of justice, that doesn't make them any immunity.

"I don't think you can just go home any more than you like."

It doesn't matter how strong I am.

The intensity and decadence of the emotions breathed in the confronting metastasizers.

The enemies are brave men with the power to save the world.

I know that if I don't let myself be left to anger and hatred and go mad, I can't fight it or anything.

Therefore, once the old dragon stood back to the unreasonable monster, throwing away the heart he had received from his loved one.

Malvina spit out what was in her mouth.

I thought it was an attack. The transferees were on alert.

The spit was slammed to the ground before where they stood.

That doesn't mean anything's gonna happen.

An eye-catching thought struck me as something, and I raised my voice.

"Ahhh... ahhh. No, that's a lie!

It's only a red and black chunk. That's because I could recognize you as a friend who was bitten to death.

He was the boy who had Malvina's foothold since he broke inside.

Earlier, during the double expansion of the Fifth Staircase magic that took Rex's life, Malvina was killing him by poking a moment's gap distracted by you.

The metastasizers had never crossed the real dead line.

Even if their combat abilities are super first-class, their heads are peace-loving children.

It is not impossible to kill if you are prepared to thoroughly put it in there and misplace it.

Seeing the death of an indestructible companion, Malvina stepped forward without missing the gap of a floating metastasizer, roaring what a mountainous body deserved.

A few of the children, who remained on the spot, also followed her to be driven by madness and hatred.

The crusade, which should be absolutely safe, led to a bloody killing.
