Climb a steep hill toward the crater.

The vegetation is barely growing and it is a rocky rocky place.

Perhaps the lava flow has solidified.

So it is hard to walk.

"Uh, are you really going to climb this?

"I'm tired."

Libby and Befy follow with dissatisfaction.

"Behemoth, take it!"

"Disagreeable"

"Why! I'm not good at walking on land!"

"I am not good at getting up. I want to sleep all the time."

They're both lazy because of the mythical demons.

"Follow me without complaining ...

What appeared is Lizardman, a bipedal lizard monster.

Red scales are likely to be more durable and heat-resistant than normal species, probably adapted to the volcano's habitat.

"Gaa !?"

I beheaded in a flash.

Apparently this is their great breeding ground.

After that, she was attacked by a lot of lizardmen.

However, as he turned back, he became afraid, and as he approached, he began to flee.

Instead, a larger lizard appeared this time.

"Red Dragon?"

"Ooooooooooo!"

It is a red dragon that glides while shouting.

Probably its total length is more than 20 meters.

Befie, who was the outermost, did not become a prey for his sharp and thick fangs.

"Hmm?"

"That?"

The red dragon is puzzled because the fangs do not pass through the little humans.

Well, I'm not a human.

"... disturbing"

Beffi, as if she moved her eyebrows a bit uncomfortable, still having a sleepy face, pushed the Red Dragon by hand, as if by a fly.

Sudooooooon!

Actually, "pushing out" wasn't easy.

"Guaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The red dragon blows off at a furious speed.

He rolled over the rocks several times and finally stopped at a slope of more than 100 meters.

"Gieee !?"

Just beneath the rocks were Lizardmen who were following us secretly to monitor us.

He seemed to be hiding, but he was crazy.

"Gee, Giegiegee" (Yabbe, Gatsura Gachi and Besho!)

"Gigigigigigigiii! Giegiye! (Red dragon blow or panae!

I don't know what I'm talking about, but it seems like I'm so surprised that the Red Dragon was knocked down with a pan.

"Gigigigigigigi! Gigigigigigiigi! (Dangerous roles like gachi and beshou! Escaping while you have life!)"

"Gigigigigigi!"

Either I'm going to report it to my peers, or I'm just scared, or have gone away in a hurry.

After that, I encountered the Red Dragon several times, but defeated it without any problems.

"... I'm getting really hot."

Have you already reached the middle of the mountain?

Normally, the higher the altitude, the colder it should be, but on the contrary, the temperature is steadily rising.

It's because of the hot water spewing out here and there.

It's a geyser.

A serious burn will result if properly worn, but the steam alone is hot enough.

I decided to use blue magic to create cold and prevent heat.

Well, this is comfortable.

The environment is getting harsher.

Until now, the slopes were just enough to walk normally, but there are some places that are almost cliffs.

You can make a detour, but you can go straight because it is troublesome.

"It's easy because of the green magic."

I flew in the sky.

Overcome the cliffs at a stretch.

"Wait a minute! I can't use green magic!"

"I can't fly"

Petite Livy kicked off the cliff's bumps and dexterity.

On the other hand, Beffy climbs while digging his fingers and toes into the rock.

It is about half a day since I left the foot.

We have finally reached the top with the crater.

"Uh, that's hot!"

"Hmm"

High-heat steam that can already stand.

There is a burning red shining magma behind it, occasionally erupting like an explosion.

Even though the cold of blue magic is wrapped around the body, the heat does not stop sweating a while ago.

"Is there really someone nesting in that place?"

"I don't know! I haven't seen it directly!"

It is said that the monster may be () in () of () of ()

"... I'll try to attack properly anyway"

I tried slashing at the magma.

Zubaawang!

The magma splits vertically.

Because it was much more viscous than seawater, it returned slowly.

"I miss you"

Well, it's like a lake, and it's not so easy.

But again and again, there was no sign of anything appearing.

It may be that the bottom is deep and the slash cannot reach.

"Hey, come out if you're there! I've come all the way to this place!"

"Hmm"

Befy and others are calling, but they don't show up.

And that's when.

I looked up to heaven as the sun was suddenly overshadowed.

"Was"

What I witnessed was a giant bird flying slowly in the sky.

The whole body sparkling red is wrapped in flames, and every time you flutter your wings, a spark of scale-like fire falls.

"Phoenix"
