Rock Cave Dragon (Earth Dragon).

That is the race of this earthly demon general.

One of the dragon breed dragons that lives in many mines where ore can be taken and acts as a subordinate to the Demon King.

The rock-covered epidermis is terribly hard, and most sorceries can't even scratch it.

They use the magic of earthly attributes and fire rock bullets from their mouths to attack them.

It's a nasty demon who just moves and does a lot of damage to his surroundings.

"You will surely crush here."

An earthly demon general slammed his enormous arm down to the ground.

As the room vibrates to its impact, magic flows to the ground.

Shortly afterwards, I tried to close my mouth, which was open, and all the passages leading to the other rooms were blocked.

"You can't run anymore, featherworms."

Elphiszark has already evacuated to the rear of the room.

I'll have to fight this dragon alone for a while.

"-"

I was running out before the earthly demon general moved out.

While running, increase your physical abilities to the limit with demonic stones.

Fortunately, this room is large and there are few escape areas.

"" Destroyer (Blake Magic) "!"

Immediately after taking the distance, he throws multiple demonic stones at the earthly demon general.

The demonic stone that hit the earthly demon general burst into momentum.

"Hmm, clever"

"Effect, None"

Even with the biggest attack I'm releasing right now, I still can't break through the armor of the Earthly Demon General.

If this doesn't work, he won't be able to do one damage to him using any other sorcery.

"Did you cower, human?"

Like a mockery, the earthly demon general laughs.

That's as expected so far.

It is assumed that you will be cut off from exit or that this attack will not pass.

The Rock Cave Dragon is a mighty demon, but still, it's not without weakness.

In a body not covered in rocks, and the only thin tail of armor, an attack would pass even now.

You can't just jump into your body, and it's the tail you're after.

The Rock Cave Dragon is traveling bipedally on the ground, and it is his tail that is balancing his body at that time.

A disconnect would upset the balance and create a huge gap.

The base of the tail has thinner rock armor than other areas, and a treasure sword would also allow cutting.

"No way. It's from here, Earthly Demon General"

"Hmm?"

Many demons and demons with superior power are insulting to other races.

This earthly demon general is typical of that.

Poke that gap.

"- Huh!"

Run as hard as you can for the earthly demon general.

If you want to amputate your tail, you have to get that far first.

Humanistic. You're blind.

The earthly demon general opened his mouth, from which successive rock shells were fired.

Bullets come down like rain,

"-, ugh!"

With physical abilities raised to their limits, they run to zigzags and dodge shells.

Even if he is shot to the ground and slapped in the back by the aftermath, he eats up his teeth and moves forward.

Confirm that the earthly demon general tries to shake up his arms and activate the magic with additional demon stones.

Thunder is what you use, and dirt demon general's sight is what you aim for.

A low-powered but wide-ranging magic of thunder strikes a dirt demon general.

"G...... never again!"

Though thunder spreads easily with swinging down arms, a gap is created at that moment.

He jumped and made sure to roll through the foot of the earthly demon general.

So far so good.

After that, just cut the tail...

'- No use!'

"Chip!"

From overhead, the tail of the earthly demon general fell.

A tail the size of which would be twice the size of a man's torso was slapped like a whip, even as he jumped back and forth, crushing the ground and the fragments flying this way.

"Ku...!"

He plays the fragments with his sword, but he breaks the balance and falls to the ground.

Once again there, the tail of the earthly devil fell.

"Is the tail what you want? Aim hard."

The earthly demon mocks me for dodging.

Use body strengthening to jump and dodge critically from the tail orbit.

And in order to move on to the attack,

"Dull!"

Yet another blow, successively slammed the tail of a dirt demon general.

The shock damages me even more, and I can strike the ground with my rough breath.

'You're unusual, human. Not even close to the mouth. Interpretations, humans, etc. Only to this extent'

Ear impaired laughter.

The earthly demon general has already won.

Oh, as expected.

With the mockery, it was when the earthly demon general put his strength on his tail to shake it up again.

It is then that the earthly demon general finally realizes something strange.

"What, is this!?"

The tail of the earthly demon general was affixed to the ground with gutter.

Around the tail is a sticky white liquid spread.

"K... this is the earthspider's...!"

It is the liquid overflowing from the cocoon balls of the earthspider that is affixing the tail of the earthly demon general.

At the same time I avoided it, I left all the cocoons I had at the tail drop point.

Even though it has strong adhesion, cocoon balls will only hold for a few seconds.

But that's enough.

"Take a good aim, was it? Let's just say it's sweet."

"You……!"

A dirt demon general tries to strip his tail off the ground, but it's too late.

He packed the intermission and swung a swing of his body from physical strengthening down to the base of his tail.

This treasure sword boasts a constantly high cut by the enclosed magic.

Even the tail of the dragon can be cut if the armor is thin.

"Ahhh!"

Aim for a particularly thin part of armor, even in the tail, flashing.

A treasure sword waved down severed the tail of a dirt demon general from the ground up.

"GOOOOOOO!!"

The roar echoes into the room, then the earth demon general, who has lost his support, falls to the ground in momentum.

Where we distanced ourselves from getting involved, the giant was slammed to the ground and the roar echoed.

"All Yep!!"

……!

Raising a shout of anger, the earthly demon general lifts his body forcefully, remaining out of balance.

The previously fought Rock Cave Dragon had not even been able to move properly since he lost his tail.

So you're trying to move something like a stone earth demon general?

And with that giant, he's been trying to smash me on the verge of...

- Well done, Io.

Elphiszark's voice echoed inside the room.

◆

In advance, I had decided to muscle the battle.

My role in this fight is to buy time.

Fate lies in the magic of Elphiszark.

"I'll take care of it later!"

If you notice, Elphiszark was standing right next to you waiting in the rear.

"Gu tu, elphis zaaaaaaaa!!"

With all four legs, the earthly demon general burst in with a momentum like a depression.

If a giant like Oyama were hit, that would turn us into just a chunk of meat.

"- Eat it, earth demon general."

Put that beauty in front of you, Elphiszark won't move.

With enough magic to tremble the room, she slowly turns her eyes toward the earthly demon general.

And I saw it.

Her eyes, which were golden, lit a bloody crimson glow.

"-" Devil's Eye/Ashes Explosion ""

The next moment.

Hellish polar light dyed the world, and shortly afterwards the earthly demon general exploded.

Hot air blows into the room, and the whole room vibrates as it makes a roar.

The giant of the earthly demon general blew up on a scale and power incomparable with the demon.

One of the powers Elphiszark has - the "Demon Eye".

Eyes that host the power of the demon can activate the inherent sorcery by simply turning their gaze.

"With the loss of power, this power..."

If they let something like this go, there's no such thing as me right now.

If it had been a full-season blow, there might have been a collapse, blowing up this whole room as well as a dirt demon general.

Look at me being taken aback and Elphiszark gives me a proud look.

"Are you surprised? I can't help it. You're the devil's eye who has blown up his own army by mistake!"

I don't think so.

Elphiszark's eyes, emitting demonic eyes, were returning from crimson to gold.

The awesome magic I showed you earlier seems to have unleashed everything.

The armor of the Rock Cave Dragon has the hardness to completely disable it if you are a juxtaposed sorcery.

The blow of Elphiszark was blowing the body of a dirt demon general with each of its armor.

If you take so many blows, you will die instantly when it comes to the Rock Cave Dragon.

- If that's a regular rock cave dragon.

"-OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

"-"

"What the...!?"

He had eaten the blow of the Devil's Eye, and the Earthly Demon General was alive.

What comes to mind in those eyes is the color of anger that burns everything down.

Making a sound of vacillation, the blown flesh began to regenerate.

Blown meat, erased armor, even a severed tail, returns to its previous state.

"You can use healing magic on the Rock Cave Dragon."

A dragon breed with mighty power, too, is not omnipotent.

By race, there are only a few magic tricks that can be used.

I've never heard of a rock cave dragon that used healing magic before.

Instead of being hard armored and highly aggressive, they can't use magic to heal their bodies.

"- It's the“ dirt demon general "who overturns it. Don't lick it, featherworms."

"With the magic of the labyrinth, you have increased your power...!"

A tail-growing earthly demon general lifts a giant body.

"The shame of a dwarf man's demonic army on humans has wounded me...! I will not forgive you, I will never forgive you! It will stain the labyrinth with its sick flesh!! '

In just over a dozen seconds, every wound ever inflicted had been able to disappear from the body of the earthly demon general.

There is only the same overwhelming giant as before and anger at the humiliation inflicted.

"... This is unexpected even for me in the boulder. Only pet Berdia knows, such as a dragon with healing magic"

The servant Elphiszark also looks up at the healing of the earthly demon general.

"Elphiszark. Do you think he can use healing magic again?"

"Now he's using up most of his magic. It will not be possible to exercise complete healing magic."

Do you have a demonic eye that can see the amount of magic, Elphiszark saw the earthly demon general with red eyes and concluded so.

Then again, if you inflict damage from the demon eye, you can defeat him.

"Again, can you use the Devil's Eye just now"

"Yeah, but we're gonna need the same amount of time."

The arms of the earthly demon general fall from the top.

We broke up the conversation and we both retreated at the same time.

"Elphiszark first, crush from you!!"

Her demon eyes will need a few minutes of charge to produce as much power as they can defeat the Earthly Demon General.

In the meantime, I may say that other sorceries will no longer be available and will be defenseless.

"... ok. I'll buy you time."

Inside the porch, there are still enough demonic stones left.

Even though no damage can be done, it will still be possible to keep fighting.

"Okay. I'll take care of it, Io!"

Believing my words, Elphiszark begins charging the Devil's Eye.

The earthly demon general moves if he can't stop it.

Angry, his stopping in a state left to power would break his bones considerably.

Do you think you're gonna die in here?

I still have things to do.

At any rate, we have to get out of here.

Reach inside the pouch and squeeze the Demon Stone.

It was when I tried to jump forward to pull out the treasure sword with one hand and protect Elphiszark.

――――

One thing, I realized.

Elphiszark accumulating magic and exposing himself to defenselessness in front of him.

An earthly demon general who alerts the demon eye and pushes her upright in the face.

And the path that leads to a blocked transfer formation, visible across the street from the earthly demon general.

The aim of the current earthly demon general is narrowed to Elphiszark.

The blocked path will also be able to break through in seconds if you use only the demon stone demon in full.

Then if we abandon her now and bypass the earthly demon general and run to the exit...

If you abandon her, you're the only one who can help.

- To the choice that floated, I lowered my arm holding the demon stone.
