Looking at the look on the faces of King Ryu and Linos, Royce glances over the space toward the bottom of the magma. There's no sign of the two of them moving. Royce was convinced that they could not attack this space.

... So I look at it with my fingers around.

Royce grins damned and moves down under the magma. This build-up of magma leads to the Lais volcano on the island of Rwazan, where Royce was formerly. If we move around here, we can get as far as the daughter who manipulates the Dragon King.

"I won. I won."

Royce shouted and moved through the magma.

◆ ◆ ◆

Just about that time, on a magma hoard, they were opening their mouths with a harsh look on their faces.

"The signs... disappeared...?

"What? I have no response at all to sign detection or magic detection... you know what I mean?

"No, somehow."

"Somehow...? No, I won't be alarmed. Let's see if we can detect any more of his signs and powers."

The two concentrated their gaze on the magma buildup again.

◆ ◆ ◆

On the other hand, in the Leis volcano on the island of Rwazan, the voices of men and women were echoing.

"Don't just say it's impotent!

"So you've been saying it's okay since just now"

"I don't know if it's okay or not. The foundation, I can't talk about it."

A girl with feathers on her back, shaking her red hair, and a creature like a lizard with a flame all over her body, are flirting. This was Irisal of Silence and Salamander, the Spirit of Fire she was under contract to.

The two surroundings were wrapped in bright red flames. From there from time to time, the firepillars are rising towards the sky.

"You know, lady. My flames and my magma are different. Try an eruption here and now. Me and the lady, they're gonna melt right away. I guess places like this are just for a quick farewell!

"Don't say that, stay like this for a while longer"

"No. I know what you mean. This mountain is about to erupt. Then we're done with a roll, huh?

"That's why. I wonder if Mr. Linos is putting his boundaries in order not to."

"Don't be silly! I don't know how much I tied the line to keep the magma from getting fever."

"That's why you say it's okay there!

"Well, then, I guess you need to call us. Why don't you stay here? We have to do this!

"There are many translations of that. Sorry, but I can't afford to explain that to you."

"... Damn. I can't always ask a lady to do it!

Saying so, Salamander goes up in the air fuzzy. And it integrated with the flames surrounding it.

Irisal looked back in chills, exhaling slowly.

"Coming. Here he comes."

At the same time that Irisal looks back, he can hear a man. In front of me, two boundaries are stretched, both of them anointed in black, and I can't peek inside. From one of them, I hear voices.

"Definitely. It's Royce. Royce is on his way here. Hey, are you listening? Reply if you hear me. Hey! I guess you're not sleeping! Don't go to sleep! Wake up!

The ground rocked tremendously as the man's anger echoed. In line with the vibrations, the surrounding air is transmitted shivering.

"Lady! The mountains are gonna erupt! Come on, I'm sorry!

"Ah, here, wait! Salamander!"

Irisal's words were murky, and the flames around him suddenly disappeared. At that time, the columns rose from the craters of the volcano.

"Gowaaaaaaaa!!"

The explosion and roar echo. To much noise, Irisal accidentally squatted with her ears blocked.

◆ ◆ ◆

The first thing that popped into Royce's eyes, which jumped out of the crater mouth of Lake Volcano, was one siluce and two black spheres. Seeing it, Royce activates the detection immediately. Again, I feel faint magic. Apparently, this one has a daughter who manipulates the Dragon King.

... I'll eat them both.

Royce began his steep descent towards the sphere of his right hand with a niggling grin. Don't let that loom in front of you. But the moment I tried to eat it, the shock ran all over my body.

"Haahhhhh!!"

When I realized, Royce's mouth was being grabbed by some powerful force. When I saw it, in front of me, the Dragon King was laughing heavily as he grabbed Royce's mouth with his right hand.

"Long time no see, Royce. I didn't expect you to do this. No, should I say that you did something stupid like this? But it was shallow. This is how I captured him, and now he can no longer escape. Here and now, with my hand, I took your life..."

When I noticed, Royce's mouth was glowing silver. At that time, from its mouth, an intense brace was thrown out, and the Dragon King flew far away.

"No way the Dragon King...! I see the Dragon King was beside you trying to protect that girl! But it's over."

Royce points that body at another sphere, then opens his mouth again and heads.

... As if in slow motion, the landscape unfolds. I saw something black flying in Royce's sight. If you look closely, it was the hands of the Black Dragon and the Dragon.

Royce, wondering why Black Dragon's hand was flying beside herself, stares at that hand. After all, it's the dragon's hand. Whose hand is this?

With that in mind, slowly reversing his gaze, there he saw a man of one people waving his sword through him.

... Who is this?

It's definitely a face I remember. But I can't remember the name. The man's eyes were open, eyes that were totally trying to tailor his prey.

The man held the sword with both hands and placed it on the great upper stage. Intuitively Royce felt that this man was trying to crack my brain with his sword.

Royce twists his body and slashes the man. But at the moment I thought I was stunned, there was a severe pain in my left hind leg.

"Gooah, Gooah, Gooah..."

The pain pierces the whole body as if it were tight as a critical. I try to get up, but I can't stand. Ugh, use your back feathers to jump up.

... When I noticed, I didn't have my front left leg and back left leg. They were rolling on the ground. The hand of the Black Dragon you just saw was your own.

When I look at him, an earlier man looks at this one abominably with his sword in his sheath and his hips dropped, ready to be slashed at any time. That's when Royce finally remembered this man.

...... King Agarta, Linos!?

The moment he thought so, Royce understood that he himself had fallen into the trap of the Dragon King and Linos. And instantly the two options turned my head.

... attack or retreat.

Even though I lost my left anterior hind leg, my wings are still alive. I can move. King Agarta Linos can't seem to fly in the sky. If the sky had been able to fly, it would have continued its earlier attacks even over the sky. I can't do that, so I have that look on my face.

Royce quickly activates sign detection and magic detection. The Dragon King is flown quite far by the braces. Looks like we're gonna need a few minutes before we get here.

… let's eat this man.

Royce was so determined. Eat this man and your skills will go up. You just have to decide after that what you do with the Dragon King.

That's what Royce thought, staring at Linos under his eyes......
