Skeleton Knight, in Another World

Moving through the woods, the early morning of the third day.

Forests around a line of advance troops proceeding in comfortable footsteps, still in thin lights where the dew of morning mist wets the leaves of the sesame grass, began to open the spacing of its trees, and the vision ahead was gradually opening.

"Ki-yu."

Scratch your neck cleverly with your back leg as the ponta forming over your head rings in a distended mix.

Eventually a large lake surface appeared behind the scenery with a grassland area that could be seen around, the view ahead in a way that looked a little down from where it now stood like a hill.

No, although we call it the lake surface because we know it is a lake, the horizon of the lake, which stretches greatly towards the north, is blocked from its sight by the thin mist blowing down from the Wind Dragon Mountains, which stands to the south, and the immensity of not being able to grasp the whole picture without the back being able to foresee it, even remembers the illusion as if it had gone out into the sea.

The view of the lake and plain, which was overwhelming, was also seen in the view by a line of advance troops and others, as if everyone stopped and didn't think of it.

"That's a good place..."

Chiyome, who has been following me behind, lines up beside me, shuddering her black cat ears over her head and narrowing her eyes to the view that spreads in front of her.

Next to it a musculoskeletal goemon nods in agreement as he becomes royal.

"It's a little bit of a lake you can see up ahead, and that's the first stronghold."

A short while ago Pitta, who was looking over the surrounding view, said so and indicated where the line was going.

Ahead of his indication he could see a headland shaped like an island that was underground in such a way as to protrude into a giant lake.

The size of the island is quite wide and oval shaped, and the area leading up to it is narrow and long, so the road to the island is limited.

I can certainly say that if that place sets up a place of life on the part of the island and builds a wall on the part that continues, it is an easy terrain to prevent the intrusion of external enemies.

"It's easy to protect, difficult to attack, and so on."

Speaking of that finding, Pitta nodded with a grin on its vicious face.

"Well, it's a great place to build a first base for even a handful of people in that land."

Pitta's voice was accompanied by a single line of consent, starting with an island floating on the lake.

A little further in the open meadow, along the journey to the lake, there were several groups of rocks in various shapes, large and small, that crossed in front of us, but with Pitta as the captain of the advance party, we all went early enough for the lake.

But at last, part of the rock in front of me bursts out when the earthquake occurs around its arrow tip, which tried to step into a section of the rock group.

The sound of the rocks rubbing together violently, and as soon as a row of feet stopped - - tentacles wrapped in long, red muddle and viscous seemingly shine popped out of the ground in momentum, the tentacles approached at an unstoppable speed, as if they were willing, with a large rows hanging around the forefront of the advance party.

But while Lowes was a giant of that two metres and fifty, when he took the battle axe he was carrying on his back with his quick ripeness, he made sure to shield the belly of that giant axe to show it by playing his impending tentacles.

"Gu!"

At the moment of the collision, a roar sounds like heavy vehicles colliding with each other in the front, and the air trembling in its impact echoes in its belly.

A distressed voice leaking from the back of Lowes' throat tells the story of the intensity of the shock.

Her giant made a groove to the ground with the impact and dropped back a lot, but as her tentacles turned and started pulling back to get back under the ground again, she now began to pull on every huge battle axe her giant had.

Seeing it, the tip of the tentacles was affixed to the belly of Lowes' giant battle axe, which prevented the collision of the tentacles earlier, as if it had even been glued on, and it was pulled under the ground with a girdle as if it were going to do a sweep.

"Lord Lowes!!

Staring at its inexperienced tentacles, he shouted at Lowes to signal.

As she reacted to that own voice, she held the battle axe in with her arms and slightly glanced at this side, supporting her body that could be pulled over with both legs.

At the next moment, I moved in a metastasis a little before her, pulling out the 'Sword of the Holy Thunder (Karadborg)' I had and swinging it down to the tentacles I was stretching.

Tentacles with a viscous gloss were casually dimensioned before the slashing flavor of the mythical weapon and drawn back from that section to the ground beneath the rock where the remaining tentacles rose as blood was scattered.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

Strange sounds of tree spirits all around.

and at the same time part of the rock group flew up to the sky with the explosion, and the earthen smoke generated by that impact could soon stand around, darkening the shadows from which the rising rock group fell, whilst the ground collision and at the same time the blast blew the earthen smoke and the ground rang.

"After all, Grand Dragon!!

Looking up at that group of rocks like a hill, Arian ran to the side and ran in his mouth.

I see things stuck in the front again with my sword in the words.

It was about fifteen meters long, and had several rocks growing on its back, and its entire body was five meters tall, covered in crusts like a solid rock bed.

On a slightly shorter tail with a thorn like a sword mountain, two huge eyes sticking out on the head, the back legs tough enough to make a giant jump are carefully folded, contrary to which the front legs look a little thin and unreliable.

"This is the Grand Dragon..."

A voice leaked by one of the warriors of the Yamano people strikes his ear.

I had previously heard that Arian's equipped leather armor was made from the skin of the Grand Dragon, so it's unlikely that she would see that warcraft wrong.

But the thing called the Grand Dragon, which I've been relative to in the game, and the Grand Dragon, which is busily circling my big eyes in front of me, was too far apart.

And when the grand dragon in front of him swelled his throat wide, he burst a wooden strange roar around him earlier.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Surprised by its high volume, Ponta rushed down to her shoulders as she rolled over her head and wrapped it around her neck muscles with its upside-down furrows.

The sound of the air shouting reminded me of an animal.

"... you're like a giant rock frog"

I can tell you that the feeling that leaked out of my mouth was a terminal representation of the Grand Dragon as it stood in front of me. But the line of sharp fangs peeking through its big mouth was telling the truth that it was not just a big frog.

The pupil is slightly flattered when a large, slightly adorable eye confirms his appearance against his vicious mouth.

At the next moment, the Grand Dragon giant could disappear from sight by leaving a shock on the ground.

Leaping by tough rear legs - it lifts the giant, which is fifteen meters long, far above it, approaching it with its overwhelming mass.

Simple and lucid physical attack.

But that's why the attack sounds an alarm in the brain with a clear threat. No matter how good physical abilities and protective equipment you have, you won't be willing to take it head-on.

No, should I say I won't wake you up?

"Lord Arian, this one will fly too! [Dimension Moves]!"

Grabbing Arian's arm forcefully beside him activates the metastatic magic as it is.

Moving back instantly to the point where the Grand Dragon flew away on the transfer, the Grand Dragon giant flashly crushed where we had been standing, sounding the ground around us.

The earthen smoke that struck the shock wave spreads in a circular fashion around its landing point, striking its sight.

The [Dimensional Walking Method (Dimension Move)] of short-range metastasis cannot be used if vision is taken away.

Just now, I am taking the back of the Grand Dragon due to the metastasis, and you are frustrated that you noticed that you were not responding, so I am throbbing and I am paying attention to my feet.

First, magically clear the earthen smoke to secure vision, or keep stuffing the distance and poking surprises with the sword - your gaze wandering around trying to grasp the trends of the others as that moment of thought passes your head.

Then three figures were leaping out of the earthen smoke they could stand in, slamming a mace shaped blunt instrument in their hand to the crust on the side of the Grand Dragon.

Those who put in that first blow are the warriors in hiding. Some of them are the appearance of a young man who was called Ginford by Lowes.

But the crust of the Grand Dragon should be called a boulder, or a shameless stubbornness in its rugged name, and the blow of their full body also remained just a little crushed rocky crust on the surface.

The Grand Dragon, distracted at his feet, throats uncomfortably at that blow, turns to set his aim to smash them, and once again his strength is caged in his tough back leg.

There. Now Rowes jumped out of the other side of the dead end and slammed the giant battle axe in his hand near the back leg of the Grand Dragon.

"Don't even eat this guy!!

Along with the voice of Lowes' brave temper, the blade of the battle axe devours the flesh of the Grand Dragon, and a flashy blood splash rises to stain her red.

It apparently avoided the developed stubborn crust and aimed at a relatively thin area of the crust in the joint.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

A groaning roar at the Grand Dragon's agony woods the neighborhood, watching its giant disorient and tilt obliquely, and Lowes quickly retreats from the spot.

As the impact of the giant sinking to the ground flew the earthly smoke that stood in the vicinity, he laid a weapon against its grand dragon, revealing himself as a pitta that drove at an unstoppable speed in his eyes.

Pitta gently steps over the rocky mountain behind the Grand Dragon like a beast that dwells in it, and jumps high to bear the light of day as she flashes two song knives held in both her hands.

His face had zero vicious grin resembling that of a raven, and he stabbed deep into the eye on one side of the Grand Dragon so that the song knife, which set its aim on the target's face, could be sucked in.

"Gurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

When a growl similar to the scream splits (crunches) his ear and the fifteen-meter giant is overthrown, Pitta quickly pulls out the song knife and jumps off the spot.

Did the Grand Dragon have a pretty good effect on the wound he sustained in his eyes, or he started ramming around on the ground, spraying those limbs like crazy.

A warcraft with a huge body rammed around in the dark clouds. Two new figures approached there.

One person shows a quick leg movement that doesn't make him feel anything while his muscular giant body is one of the six ninjas of the Blade Heart (Jinsin) clan, Goemon, and the other six ninjas in the advance party, Chiyome, approaching the Grand Dragon to circle from its slightly diagonal rear.

Goemon did not possess any weapons in his hand, just wrapped a pale light around his entire body as he struck each other with a metal cage hand fitted into his hands.

"Soil, Blast Iron Fist!"

When Goemon's low passing voice is pronounced, his shoulders change from both arms ahead to arms that emit a dull glow like metal. He then slammed it relentlessly into the slightly exposed abdomen as the grand dragon raced around.

The dull shock sounds as if he had been punched in the stomach, with the giant of the Grand Dragon slightly flexed and the movement stopped. Running in without missing that gap, Chiyome jumps to the head of the Grand Dragon with no less bouncing power than the Pitta of the Tsubaki.

"Water, water spear tip!"

When the light dwells slightly on the right hand of Chiyome, a stream of water is created from it as if it were a serpent, and its shape is transformed into a single long spear.

As Chiyome cleverly changed his attitude in the air with it, he threw it thoughtfully, setting his aim in the other eye where Pitta pierced him.

A stream of water mimicking the spear leaves Chiyome's hand and is sucked into the remaining eye of the Grand Dragon with momentum as if it were a giant crossbow arrow.

A dull sound pierces the meat and the limbs of the Grand Dragon stop shaking for only a moment.

And as he relaxed his limbs like a shaved doll, he laid its literally rocky mountain-like giant over the earth.

Chiyome's unleashed water spear must have pierced his eyes and reached his brain. Draining red and black blood from both eyes, its raw heartbeat rapidly dwindles as it dyes the earth red.

"You've just been chosen as an elite... There was no curtain for me."

When he sighed as he returned the sword he had erected to his sheath, Arian, who had also erected the sword next door, nodded in agreement.

"Besides, the physical ability to withstand being entwined in the tongue of the Grand Dragon is a boulder..."

Arian's praise was directed to Lowe's, who looked up at the Grand Dragon, which fell and lay with the battle axe lightly on his shoulders.

Did you hear that voice, and Lowes looked back on this one and raised his strength to those two successful arms to make him smile?

Is Arian also a racial trait? Arm strength is extraordinarily higher than that of a normal woman, but it can be said that of Lowes the Bear tribe is exactly the power of a different digit.

It's enough to make me think that an arm wrestler might be able to compete well with me.

"Still, you're a warcraft not to be alarmed that you can simulate and ambush your prey. I don't think all the rocks up ahead are this guy, but can we just keep going through this?

Zero looking at the rocks spreading ahead, Arian, who was next door, returned the answer to his soliloquy as he moved his pointy ears slightly to explore the surroundings.

"The Grand Dragon's territory is so vast that it's unlikely there will be any other individuals on the rocks that you can see around. Sometimes it's my turn, but I don't think that's likely given the noise I heard earlier and not showing up."

I tried to open my mouth convincingly and concurring with that explanation of hers, but it was Pitta who had sometime approached me to take over that conversation first.

"With all this big territory, you'll be safe for a while. Because of this prey, we will now prioritize moving forward and setting up a base in the lake. Lord Ark is not the spear this time. Is there anything we can use with this material?

Ask this way and look to the Grand Dragon lying behind you.

He shifted his gaze so that he was caught by it, too, and then turned his gaze to the armor that he had made it from the Grand Dragon leather on Arian's chest, which stood next to him.

I don't need Grand Dragon leather armor or any more now because I have mythical armor called 'Holy Armor of Bellenus'. Even if I got it, I can only think of enough uses to sell it and switch it to gold.

Arian notices his gaze on this side, and for some reason he stares at this side with both hands hiding his chest.

"Um, I don't have anything in particular I need. Can you eat this guy's meat?

Returning her gaze toward Pitta and responding, Pitta smiled invincibly at her vicious face after rounding her eyes for a little while.

Probably laughed normally, but is it his specification that looks like he's up to something?

"For Lord Ark, we won't even have to align our weapons with this now. Besides, meat is not easy to eat... but it's not very tasty. Don't you even need a rock tumor in your back?

Tilt your neck to the question of that pitta.

The rock that grows on the back of the Grand Dragon is a rock as you see it. Seems like it could be used for something, but about all I can think of is garden stone for rock applications.

─ No, do you want to build it in a Japanese garden next to an open-air bath?

"Lord Arian, what do you use that for?

In the meantime, I talk to Arian in an attempt to hear the proper use before making a decision.

"I think it's enough for the Elves to use it for building materials..."

Eat a little shoulder watermark for the unexpectedly solid use of her response. I wondered if there was any more fantastic use, but increasingly only to the extent of garden stones.

But that base is more urgent to repair the company than to rub the garden first.

I don't think there's a particular need. There, at some point, Chiyome, who was listening, has stopped by to offer other uses.

"That's pretty expensive to sell in a city of people. They say that everything is one of the finest materials such as sculptures decorated by the nobles on the mansion. If I had the money I sold, I'd raise some money."

"Hehe, I didn't know"

To that story of hers, Arian was leaning her neck slightly as she raised her admiration and surprise.

I guess I was surprised and uncomfortable that objects that can only be used in building materials applications, especially among the Elves, are treated as luxury materials in human society.

Perhaps the rock on the back of this Grand Dragon is an ivory substitute for the human race.

"Hmm, maybe we can source materials in the city to repair the company with that money... If so, shall I sweeten your words and take a little of my share?"

When I said that and hammered him, Pitta gave him his right hand with a full grin.

"That's settled. Let's just say we put this big fat ass here now and secure the lake hub first. If you don't get Lord Ark to come with us, there's nothing he can do about it."

"Uhm. Then let's pack up and hurry ahead"

I shook back the right hand of that pitta myself and agreed.
