Otoko Nara Ikkokuichijou no Aruji o Mezasa Nakya, ne?

July 15, 7451

On the way to Lake Cervonne, I felt the wind coming from the front, besides the air resistance.

Looking back, the flames have grown quite loud, and the sound of a bursting tree is about to be heard.

If there was only a big forest fire, the surrounding air would also be attracted.

Even if it develops into a fire whirlwind, it is a little further, and since it was intended to burn down the whole area in the first place, the development of the fire itself can be said to be convenient.

Especially if you have time to look at the burning forest while thinking about it, you'd better move to the lake right now.

I turned around again and focused on manipulating the Uranus reins.

The river that was running shortly passed through the forest, through the forest, and went out into a wide open place.

It looks like a wetland, where a tall grass like a reed grows, and it looks like a shallow swamp except where there are clumps of grass.

Uranus advances about 50 meters into the swamp.

As usual, the wind is blowing towards the south, but it is not so strong, and you will not be aware unless you know that there is a big fire in the south.

I stopped Uranus' legs and looked back.

The flames were invisible, but I could see that the light gray smoke was already rising in the distance (six to seven kilometers from the time and speed of driving Uranus).

"Oh, that burns a lot..."

I raised my cheek and laughed.

Because the wind is blowing towards the flames, there is no scorching smell at all.

When I look closely, I see something like black grains flying all over the place from the smoke.

Could a flying monster have escaped the fire?

While I was looking at it for a while, I noticed that something like an orange flame began to flicker under the smoke.

The fire seems to be spreading well.

I feel that the momentum of the wind blowing southward has slightly intensified.

If it burns for a few weeks at this rate, it will burn quite a bit.

When I suddenly noticed and [appraised] myself, the experience value increased by more than 100,000, and it was added more and more while opening the window.

Probably because the slow-moving monster that said it was a Giant Reach but a slime was burned to death by the flame... after all, it was a big thing to be able to create an ultra-high temperature range that spans 200m in diameter and 30m in height, although it was about 5-6m above the ground.

"Ah...!"

There was also an example of a monster flying in the sky.

If the Goblins, Centaurs, and Orcs were to notice the fire and flee, they would be headed for the water.

It's not uncommon for a monster to have a head like that, and even a wild animal does.

It would be their primary interest to escape from the fire, so it's hard to think of being attacked where they saw me, and it wouldn't matter where they were attacked...

Anyway, don't get dizzy here, you should go a little further.

Sure enough, the rendezvous point with the guards was on the northwestern shore of the lake.

We still have a little more to go.



Around the place where the fire was set by Al.

The forest was exposed to unexpectedly high temperatures, so the leaves of the grass and trees instantly carbonized as soon as the flames stood, and the branches of the trees were ignored, and even the sturdy and thickly grown trunks were burning up.

In the process, the water contained in the trunk boiled, and many trees were destroyed so that they could bounce from the inside.

Ring animal-like monsters such as hills and slimes attached to the trees lost moisture and dried up without even being able to move, turning them into fuel.

In addition, monsters like the slow-moving fungus Shleeker, Myconide, Aegorian, and Matango, which live in the ground and shallow ground, follow similar paths.

And plant-based monsters, such as Trent, Triphide, Doriad, and Otu, which are weak against high temperatures and have low mobility, are also burned to death one after another.

The small number of people who counted had managed to defend themselves by using water and fire magic, but since it was also limited, sooner or later they would follow the fate of the forerunners along with the lack of magic power.

Among them, many animals, animal-type and subhuman-type monsters move at full speed and reach the safety zone.

Of course, the birds and flying monsters that can fly are the first to escape, and the number of burned-out monsters is only a very small number in the first period when the fire was released.

The diameter of the fire had already reached 1.5 times the original diameter, and the diameter had reached 300 m, but there was still no appearance of extinguishing the fire, and the surrounding combustible materials had been burned into further fuel.

The fire burns with the sound of a barbecue.

Unless you reach the river where Al was resting, it's unlikely that you'll want to put out the fire.

Of course, the river flows around the river that was initially set on fire, but the distance to the opposite bank, which is a few meters wide, and the distance to the river with a certain amount of water, is quite clear. As Al predicted, there will be no place to put out the fire for several weeks.



The village of Kells is close to the middle of the Dart Plain.

The village in development belonging to the Daybus Kingdom was located more than 10 km southwest of Lake Cervonne, but the smoke of the forest fire rising high in the sky was well visible.

"Hey, that smoke...!"

"I see fire. Fire?"

It looks like it's still far away, but it looks bad.

"Oh, I wonder if I'll make it this far?"

"I don't know. There should be a couple of rivers running through there, so I hope it's okay..."

The soldiers packed in the village watchtower immediately report the anomaly to the commander of the garrison.

However, I don't have any special skills.

At best, they were able to send out several groups of scouts to monitor the fire, and at the same time send a warning to the neighboring villages.



On the shores of Lake Cervonne, Al and the others were preparing to camp.

No matter how much Al expects to put out the fire in a few weeks, he can't leave the place without putting out a forest fire.

There is no camping area with an appropriate location on the lake shore, and nearby, there are mountains of earth that can be pulled out of the trees so that a fire can be observed, and surveillance personnel have been set up.

Actual fire monitoring is also possible by crossing the lake at full speed to follow the path that Al came here to the reverse, and by going down the river, it is possible to get close to it in a few minutes.

- Hmmm. Maybe it's not bad to have a villa on the lake... In any case, this lake will also be manned by fish farming and fishing in the future.

Al was thinking a little bit ahead of the task of erecting the tents that the guard units were putting up.

- A vacation home... that island is affordable, so if you were to build a vacation home, you might be able to build one on that island... By the way, if the sea is a lake without waves, what would happen to the goblins that were lured in by the power of the dragon slayer?

If the Dragon Slayer's abilities were to be unlocked on the island, monsters within a five-foot radius would be attracted.

The monsters attracted by the ability of the sword move towards the sword and its user at a glance.

Half-fish people on the oceanfront came ashore with the knowledge that they were disadvantaged, and monsters like sharks that could not do that came as close as possible to land.

The monster octopus (Kraken) stopped its legs with huge ice as it moved, but it was still approaching at full speed.

--I don't think he'd come up ashore...

Al slowly closes his eyes thinking about the case when he unleashed the ability of the dragon slayer on a small island floating on Lake Cervonne.

Considering the events in the vicinity of Berkud, it seemed that monsters that could swim would swim across the lake.

Even if he could not swim, he would invade the lake until he reached the depth where his feet reached.

- Hmm, I'm hesitant to release my powers in the middle of the Dart Plains, but I always shoot down the harpies and those flying in the sky like I always do. If I swim across, I'll be diminishing my physical strength. Orcs and hobgoblins are more likely to be exhausted... and many of them can kill even children.

It will be easier to kill if you can consume health by crossing the lake.

--That raised the level of the Knights of the West Dart a bit.

The Knights of the Leagues, the Knights of the Kingdom stationed in the West Dart, and the Knights of the Duke of Zaam raise their physical level by about one to two levels on average.

The strengthening itself was probably about the level of a sparrow's tears, but even though I was dealing with monsters, I had gained a lot of experience in group combat.

Although the dead have not yet been killed in battle, there have been serious injuries like every time, and the big thing monsters called Stag Rhino and Manticore, which should be hit by about 40 to 50 platoons per platoon, are the opponents that cause so much fear compared to battles between humans.

There is a great sense of security that Al is holding back behind him, but it is also a kind of opponent who must be prepared for even the most serious damage.

It was quite a big thing to say that the Knights of the West Dart were able to fight against such monsters without fear.

--The Knights of Earl Dressler and the Knights of the Kingdom stationed around here should also gain real combat experience...

Al, who had opened his eyes, sat down on a nearby stump and struck his left elbow on his knee with his legs crossed.

Place your chin on your left thumb and let out a small roar.

--There's a city by this lake, and I'm sure we need to eradicate all the monsters around here...But at first, it was better to have someone who was used to fighting monsters... so why didn't you go first?When that happens, the old black jade (they) should travel a few people at a time...

Al's brain had already begun dividing up the first annihilation squad.
