The God Slaying Hero and the Seven Covenants

In the distance, the beast is barking.

Not like a wolf or a bird. A heavier, stronger voice that echoes at the bottom of your belly, even from a distance.

When you look into the sky where that voice speaks, there's a mountain so high that the top hides in the clouds.

Not one. Peaks.

At the foot where we stand, in the Arbenelm continent, full of cloudy air and rotten earth, green forests flourish, and streams of purity flow. Its river, through which the water is clear, is so deep that the bottom cannot be seen in the light of the weak sun.

But such a green shore of paradise. Across the river there is little green, and the earth is rough, snowy, and the remains of weak demons (Chemon) are rolling. Paradise and hell. I felt that the landscape of the opposite pole highlighted a cold, lifeless land called the Arbenelm continent.

Looking alternately at such a place as if it were a paradise in the world and hell, Feirona, standing next to him, exhaled and re-carried the bags.

"There are places like this on this continent too…"

Place the bags on the ground and break your knees. At its feet, there were small peach blossoms.

I stroke the flower over the leather gloves.

"Only, but..."

Why is greenery so thriving in the Arbenelm continent?

The reason is that this mountain inhabited by dragons is an active volcano and the ground was purified by geothermal heat? The many dragons who live in the mountains, their powerful magic purified this place?

That's what Utano and Kudo say.

And the weeds in this place are very tasty. Well, it was all rotten and withered weeds until I got here, so maybe it just seems that way.

"Can you eat this?

With that in mind, Mululu, who was walking over to the forest entrance, sat down and asked. In his hand, he had noticeably spotted small, red fruits like wild rice noodles, which would have turned into bushes.

On the palm of my left hand, I have a number of red fruits on it. As for size, it's about the tip of the pinky. Pick one of those up with your right finger and show it to me.

Behind such a murmur, Solnea turns a somewhat similar gaze at me. Apparently this one, too, is interested in rare fruits.

"Oh. But it's not very sweet, it"

"Mmm."

When I only heard that, I did not hesitate to throw one of the fruits into my mouth.

"... yummy, maybe"

What a subtle grunt on the face.

And I turned my palm to Solnea, who was behind me.

"Want some?"

"I'll have it."

Oh, and. Make one stretch and stretch.

When I looked at Ami, I was hand washing the river water with Miss Francesca and washing her face. What an idle sight, or a sight free of tension.

That's also because we know demons don't come near here.

Demons frightened by the magic of the dragons and weak in power do not come close to the mountains, nor do demons living in the mountains come out unless they vandalize their territory. Dragon-like.

"Why don't you wash your face, too, Lotus and Faerona?

"Oh."

Fayrona replies to Ami's voice, hips up. When I took off my leather gloves as they told me and tried to fill the water in the river, those eyes looked at me with amazing colors.

"Warm......"

"I'm not sure how it works, but this mountain is an active volcano. They say the river is warming up in lava all over the earth."

"... volcano, is it?

Faerona's gaze remains intact, this time hiding in the clouds to the top of an invisible peak. Knowing it was a volcano, maybe I got scared.

There was a slightly stronger wind. It rocks Faerona's blonde hair, as do the poor flowers of various colors that were at its feet.

A number of flower petals appeared. Fly in the wind and fly to the withered earth. But these flowers never bloom in the land across the river. That makes me feel a little sad, and I follow the flying petals with my gaze.

"Not all of them. There are several mountains on the other side from here."

Sure, would it have been three? Turn your gaze toward the peak and exhale. That sight is still burning in my eyes because it was the first time I had seen lava flowing with my naked eye.

And very hot.

Even if I don't come near you, I feel so hot that my skin is going to burn just by getting close to where I can see it. On a rock in such a place, grilled meat can be formed when the raw meat is placed. Hygiene is not very good though.

"There are hot springs along the way. If you can afford it, do you want to rest there"

"Oh-san?

Oh. Speaking of which, is there no known hot spring in this world?

A bath that washes your body with hot water is something that has spread around here recently. Is the word "hot spring" not known yet?

"This is how the water gets warmed up by the heat of the lava, and that's where it erupts."

"Natural bath, right"

Ami will supplement my words. Well, I was strangely convinced it would have been easy to say that.

"... I can't imagine"

"If you go, you'll see. I'll tell you on the way."

"Oh. Nice to meet you"

Normally, an elf should be a vigilant species for new things. Faerona, on the contrary, has shown interest in new objects.

I guess this is one of the reasons why you're traveling with me.

"Mululu, Solnea. Wash your hands and faces, too."

"A little more"

"Okay."

Apparently, the only time a couple of friendlies get along is when they put food in front of them, otherwise they divide opinions.

I look up at the invisible mountain at the top, thinking such a stupid thing.

There is not a sudden slope. The forest is full of grass because people don't come, and even the trees are completely blocked from the sunlight, which is weak in brilliance. But it won't be that deep, so it'll be easy to get through the woods.

Well, because you don't have natural enemies, it's hard to have a lot of bugs.

Even the mountain is at an angle where you can climb on foot, and the ground is soft because there is a lot of soil and greenery. This is how the river runs, so I don't have any problems without seeing it, and I don't have any problems with food because I have mushrooms and fruits.

As I said earlier, even demons are easier because if you watch out for the territory, they won't attack you... after all, the mountain where you can't see the top shrivels your temper.

Exhaling, Miss Francesca, who had finished washing her face, came next door. It must be refreshing and pleasant, unlike the last few days, a full laugh. Even this one you're watching, it brightens my feelings.... When I look at the mountain, it sinks quickly.

"What is it, Master Range?

"When I think I'm going to climb that mountain, I'm depressed."

"... have you ever been climbed before?

That's the song the bards of the continent of Imnesia used to sing from time to time. That passage.

A line of god killers traveling the world climbed mountains to get the help of dragons on the demonic continent, he said. In summary, did it look like this?

"When I got to the foot, I picked him up."

"Pick me up?"

"It's a dragon. Unlike Fafnir, Winged Dragon (Wyburn)... it's already Dragon territory around here."

The dragons didn't seem to care, either, because there were humans entering such dragon territory who made the goddess magic and smell.

When I climbed halfway up, my dragon showed up and had it carried to the top, and at the time, I signed a contract with the former dragon king, Livyartan, who was in charge of the dragons. On the condition that instead of getting help, we defeat Fafnir, who was rampaged and untouched.

Afterwards, he pulled out a spear that was stabbing him in the leg of Fafnir, who was rampaging around with another mountain as his root castle, and that parent idiot dragon made a pact with Koshichan. And with his wings, he had him carry him to the castle of the demon god.

"Ha..."

When we talk about it, Miss Francesca leaks a caged exhale of heat, whether it's admiration or distraction.

But the look on his face - his eyes, too, are moisturized by heat.

"That's amazing."

"Yeah, right."

I think it's weird to be humble here, and I agree with you with less words.

Ride on the back of the dragon, take numerous dragons, cut off the front lines of tens of thousands of people and attack the castle of the demon gods.

In words, it sure is awesome. I mean, we're talking about ourselves, but it doesn't really come to be realistic.

I was desperate then. To live.

Not to win. To live, to kill. Kill me, but live. I can take my life and prolong my life. With that momentum, I was moving forward, moving forward.

So now that I think about that way of life as tight, even if I remember it, I can only return vague words.

You wondered that reply, Miss Francesca leans her neck small and looks up at me. Such a trick hasn't changed since we first met, and that's the only way I'm going to get a hold of my chest.

Well, you do. For those of you in this world, the bard's song is entertainment, and the truth of that entertainment is in front of you. Besides, no one's not excited.

"Isn't that amazing?

"Yes."

Step aside and smile at Miss Francesca, who can honestly snort and snort.

When you get a reaction like this, I'm comfortable.

"We're going to climb that great place now."

So, again, take your gaze to the peak.

The clouds are thick and the weather is not very good. But the weather doesn't seem rough, and you won't have a problem climbing mountains.

"I hope you'll pick me up along the way this time."

"Right."

It was Ami who agreed to the word. He's finished washing his face, wiping his face with a cloth removed from the bag.

He seems to re-tie his hair, and his untied black hair is sticking to his cheeks and forehead.

What an indefensible look. Loosen your mouth about it and I'll pay you with my fingers for the hair hanging on Ami's cheek that came near you.

"It's been a while since I've seen your hair untied."

"Well, shall we?

You were ashamed of being paid for your hair, and I immediately leaned down. My ears peeking through my lowered hair are a little red.

Ami reacting like that, Miss Francesca shook her shoulder with her hands hiding her mouth with her eyes like she saw something smiling.

"Ugh."

"Too relaxed."

"I think so too, Lotus..."

"Well, I don't deny it"

Shoulder to shoulder, she agreed, Ami dropped her shoulder and sighed.

Then he shifts his gaze and turns his gaze to the Faeronas who are washing their faces.

"That's weird."

"Hmm?"

"I can hear the dragons roaring, but I don't see any signs"

…………

Said, sure, and.

Already in the territory - if it's a dragon like Livyartan, you must be aware that Ami and I are here.

Even so, not even one of the pickups is... strange indeed, maybe. It's just growling - I hear voices, so I'm sure there's a dragon.

Are you waiting for us to climb the mountain in a cave at the top?

He's a whim, too.

"That's true, though. If Mr. Lotus is here, I think he'll pick you up... if he's a dragon character."

"You're not."

He's definitely a man in law, but that's why he's not the kind of guy who sells his charm to human opponents.

I think I'm looking at Fafnir, but the Dragon opens his mind to the person who has forgiven him, but otherwise it's not. Or, if I do poorly, I don't open my heart and strip my fangs.

Livyartan is...... I don't know. I know you like it, but I tilt my neck when I say if I'm open minded.

The strong lover dragon liked us very much for dropping Fafnir, who was a tyrant. Especially now that Livyatan, who gave Fafnir the king's throne, said he had defeated Fafnir, who was no match for himself, and I think the thought was a push......

I think so, but I think that's why I'm picking you up, and I don't think so.

"A little bit, I have a bad feeling"

"... right"

I won't, but if Ami cares, she should be on guard.

Kang, is cultivated on that two-year journey.

Soles against dangerous things are not too alarming and problematic. Nothing, if nothing happens, just get poked too distracted. But if you fail to be vigilant and are in danger, you will lose your life.

I know that, so I exhale small to tighten my mind.

"Okay, let's climb."

Speak up so you can get in the mood.

Then the Faeronas, who were washing their faces, also stood up.

"And, Mr. Lotus"

"Hmm?"

"Why do you keep quiet, El?

"There's a lot going on, it's lit up."

Because I said something embarrassing about being with you all morning. Now it's lit up, partner.

I'm hesitant to say that to a boulder, but rather keep the words cloudy.

However, it is Ami who is not convinced by it.

I thought I'd looked up at this one with my strong eyes on it, and he grabbed my right hand with his little hands.

"A lot?"

"A lot."

Or, I laugh and walk out.

Come on, let's climb the mountain.

Walk with the Faeronas to the foot of the mountain, pulling Ami with her right arm, who said something.

Miss Francesca, who was right next door, was laughing out loud.

I hope you're not nervous.
