Finally, the breeding morning arrived.
For a month from today, massive demons come out of the dungeons and attack people.
We are the only villagers who can't fight demons.
"Lyon, you're finally here"
"Yeah."
I'll talk to Lyon, who was next door, to ease the tension.
Like me, Lion was nervous.
When it comes to the breeding season, it doesn't change much from normal.
Normally the sun rose, and there was no air staring and I couldn't breathe.
But the breeding season has already begun.
The breeding season always begins today every year and ends in a month.
I've never seen that go wrong.
As a first step, we worked on the villages.
"Mr. Label... does this work?
"Oh, this time the other guy is particularly nosy [Blackdog]. The smell will be fine inside. If the Alliance's backup came, I can definitely push it back to this village. It'd be hard if my house was attacked by demons and worn out when I got my village back, wouldn't it?
"Yeah. Right."
We were hanging little stinky bags around the house.
I have plenty of juice stuck in the cloth so that the effect lasts at all, and I cover it with leather from the top, so it shouldn't dry right away.
Although my prediction is that it's small, I think the stinking bag will hold it for about a couple of days.
"But will the demons come to this village? Maybe go to the woods where the animals are?
"Don't you know Lion? Demons don't attack animals."
"Oh yeah?
"The reason is still unknown, but demons only strike people. The old book says it's the will of the dungeon, or the test God gave to the people, but I don't know why it's so clear to me either."
"It is. I didn't know."
"This is the only village near the dungeon. The demons must find this village and come after us."
I looked in the direction where the dungeon was again.
"Luckily, the difference between where the dungeon is and the high and low of this village is quite significant. I don't think he'll be here any time soon if the demon doesn't even jump off the cliff, but let's hurry anyway"
"Yeah. Got it!!
Hanging stinking bags in all the houses, we jump out of the village and follow the villagers.
Even if I don't have a map, there's a detailed map in my head.
I've been making maps for years so I could draw accurate maps in my head.
No matter how vast and complex the hierarchy is, I can only remember going through it once.
Compared to a dungeon, it's easy to remember the streets.
For about three hours, as we proceeded, we found traces of burning along the streets.
"Leon, take a look. It's a burning trail. Then don't tell me the villagers spent the night in this place."
"Yeah. Then if we catch up for an hour, we'll catch up."
"Oh, it would be about fifteen kilometers past this place from the village. We'll be there in three hours. Simply calculated, we and the villagers are about five kilometers apart. The villagers are progressing as expected. Let's keep going."
There are no signs of demons attacking us so far.
If we can keep moving smoothly, we can also rendezvous with the adventurer Dan sent for us.
I hope you've already left the capital...
As long as we can rendezvous, we can push it in numbers, so we can figure it out if it's about the demon appearing in a C-level dungeon.
But I had a bad feeling.
I can't leave my body with a disgusting feeling that can only be described as an intuition that I've been diving into a dungeon for years and starting to feel.
"Let's hurry."
"Yeah."
Various rivers, large and small, flow around here in the basin.
We are now on the streets built along the biggest rivers.
All the mountain water around me was flowing into this river.
So there is also a lot of water that flows deep and deep.
Even those who are confident in swimming will have difficulty swimming off to the other shore.
If someone wearing gear falls like us, he will surely drown.
"It was the main road up ahead."
"Yeah. This road just keeps going straight"
On the other side of the river he shows chopped rock skin.
There was enough mountain to look up.
The mountain was shredded and a cliff, and on the side of the road were several giant rolling stones that collapsed from the rocky skin of the cliff.
"I remember because there were so many big stones rolling around"
"That's a rolling stone peeled off that rock skin. I hear there are a handful of people who hit and die. A smart scholar once checked this place out, and he found it to be a hell of a big river. So this cliff was built by an old river."
"It is. Mr. Label knows everything."
Ma Ma, the village chief's for sale.
While we were talking about that, we were on a street five meters wide.
Then I found dozens of figures ahead.
"Mr. Label. That!?"
"Oh, looks like we finally caught up. We're gonna run a little bit."
"Yeah."
What we found was definitely the villagers.
Looking at my complexion, I'm starting to get a little tired.
"Mr. Village Chief. Are you all right, sir?
"Yeah, I'm relieved Mr. Label doesn't seem to be hurt."
The village chief cared about us.
"I was just talking about taking a break once. Mr. Label with me."
I rang, but I shook my head to the side.
The reason for this is because the unpleasant feeling I've always felt was getting bigger and bigger.
"Let's take a break later. Do you have the map I gave you yesterday?
"Yes, I do, though?
"My prediction is that the demons are coming after us."
"Is it true!?
"Yeah, so can you just move on with the villagers now? I'll give you some extra tools for safety. If you follow the map I gave you, you'll always be able to join the backup adventurers, so just try harder."
"Okay... what about you guys?
"I will intercept demons in this place now. The only way to get ahead is through here. If we keep it here, we won't have to worry about getting attacked from behind."
"Wow, I see. We'll hurry, too. Please don't push it."
After a conversation with the village chief, I approached Lyon.
"You heard me, didn't you?
"Yeah. Is there a demon coming?
"Maybe, I just don't like it."
"If Mr. Label feels that way, he must be here."
"So. If they really come after us, we'll intercept the demons here. You're gonna have to work hard on Lion, but can you do it?
"Yeah. Of course I do. entrusted."
"All right, then I'll have to get ready too."
I also took out the leather gear I made for myself and wore it.
It protects most areas, from head to toe.
It also seems impossible to move at first sight, but the joint part is released properly, so it's not that hard to move.
"Mr. Label, you look amazing..."
I saw him after my gear. Lion rounded his eyes, too.
"I can't fight. If you can't fight, there are ways you can't fight. So this gear."
"Don't worry. I won't even let you go behind me. If Mr. Label would stay behind, I wouldn't be afraid of any demons at all."
"Then we'll go as usual."
"Yeah. Got it."
I gave Lion a small sachet.
"What's this?
"This is a bag that has the opposite effect of a stinking bag. You know what I'm saying?
"Yeah. If I had this, the demons would come by?
"That's right. There are villagers ahead of us. We have to attract all the demons that come after us here. If I ever loosen my mouth string..."
Lion nodded without saying anything.
Then, when fifteen minutes had passed, I could see black shadows approaching from afar.
The shadow, which was one at first, turned out to be more than thirty when the dong swelled up and appeared clear.
"Here we are. Open your stinking bag mouth and put it at your feet!!
Lion took my instructions and opened the bag's mouth. Then the sweet scent starts to drift around from the inside.
"Lion concentrate only on the front. It's troublesome when it's dispersed. Let's just aim directly at the front of the lion."
I throw several flame bottles on both sides at an angle of about sixty degrees around Lion.
Now we can have a triangle around Lion.
"Sure it was [Ant Hell]? That's the only ridiculous way I can think of that muscle gorilla to attract all the demons and fight them, but that's surprisingly effective. I brought you a month's worth of items, use them all but I will definitely stop them!!
If demons try to avoid the flames, they come directly in front of Nature and Rion.
Besides, it has a stinking bag at its feet that collects demons, so all demons will be targeted at one Lion.
Fighting is easy because demons come to the front, but the pressure will be immeasurable.
But I was sure Lion would do it.
"Go, Lion. The flame bottle will only hold for fifteen minutes. In the meantime, we will destroy all demons in front of us."
"Yeah. Leave it to me!!
[Blackdog] hits against Lion, who is at the source of the sweet smell.
One flew up in the air, and the other was a simultaneous attack with sharp fangs coming straight out of the front.
Lion sees the attack ahead of time.
Jumping up into the air like a sword from his feet, he simultaneously slashed two [black dogs].
The demons that followed came alone.
I stuck my sword in my wide open mouth and skewered it.
I called out when I was finished.
"Lion, there are twenty-five of us left. Bad scaffolding because demons are starting to pile up at your feet. Step back from the scene and intercept in a moveable location"
"Yeah. Copy that."
Lion moves as I instruct.
I also added a flame bottle and let him direct the demon directly in front of Lion.
After that, nearly thirty demons had been wiped out just about the time the flame bottle burned out.
"Yeah. Easy win"
"Not yet. The next demon will be here soon. Don't be alarmed."
I threw a healing potion at Lion while turning the body of the murdered demon into a demon stone.
"Potion? I'm not tired, am I?
"I'm fighting in a state of excitement right now. I just don't understand my physical condition. I know what you're looking at from behind. You're moving more than usual."
"It is. Thanks, I had no idea"
"Lion sells fast moves, so it's over the second he gets to his feet. Come on, World War II is about to begin. How many dozens are there next?
I turned my gaze and a new shadow was about to swell up.
"I'll take care of it. No matter how many you have, you can take them all down."
"Three hours. If you can only stand it for three hours, you will definitely get backup!!
I made a wish for that word.
