A few days later, Ardis was heading deep into the Canobis Mountains with Rona and Saila.
When you fly in the sky for about six hours to earn distance, you descend into the mountains near the forest limits.
"Walk from here."
"Uh, why?
Lorna responded with a voice that seemed dissatisfied with the leading sarah.
"Something in the sky that has the stretched boundaries of the Warcraft King. We're going to negotiate, but we're not going out of our way to break the line and make a bad impression, are we?
"... so annoying"
Rona starts walking like a shabu-shabu.
Saila's story says the Warcraft King is constantly developing a demon-sheltering junction around his residence.
It is not so robust that it can be forced to break open and enter, but naturally in that case it will break the line.
Regardless of who you are originally hostile to, it is not something you should be looking for dialogue with.
"So this is where the Warcraft King and Doraemon live?
vertically cut rock walls.
Ardis asks Saila in front of a huge horizontal hole with a pompous mouth there.
"This is just the entrance. Walk half a day ahead and you'll be at the King of Warcraft. Naturally, there will be demons inside, so be careful."
The leading sarah created the lights with magic and floated in the universe.
Saila first, followed by Ardis and Rona stepping into the horizontal hole as well.
"That's bigger than I thought."
Some of the blurry illuminated holes are wider than I expected from the size of the inlet.
The height and width are such that the whole Ritte Chamber of Commerce building in Leityn should be soaked in.
The pompous and crushed words of Ardis cling to darkness.
Just in case, Aldis and Rona also create lights for each of them, floating forward and backward a total of three lights to take their steps forward.
"That's a lot less magical. There aren't many demons like this............ they're here."
Magic reactions begin to flock around the Ardis as if to match Rona's words.
What emerged from the darkness was a demon who looked like Hill.
He is about seventy centimeters long.
As a demon, the magic was also small, and it seemed like a never-ending opponent to the Ardis, but the problem would be its number.
It sounds deliberately innumerable.
It appeared one after the other from the darkness where the magical lights could not be reached, pushing it like a wave.
"Don't use fire."
"I know."
Saila places an order on Ardis, who looks disgusted.
"Well, I don't know about this"
It was Rona who made the first move.
When the triangular ears were moved pictorially to produce more than a dozen clear blades in the air, the forelimbs (mami) were gently tapped to the ground to release them.
The wind blade heads to the hill as it cleaves the air, cutting off the body easily (yawning).
Thirty or so hills at once perished, and an indescribable odor drifted from their fluids.
"Uh-huh, Kusa. Al, please..."
Rona, who has a better sense of smell than a person, faces an intolerable odor, and she pulls back behind Ardis by declaring her early departure from the front.
"I wish I could freeze it."
After a cold glance at Rona, Ardis froze a herd of hills crawling over the ground from one end to the other.
They're still coming.
Aldis slowly moves to the back as he sweeps away the hills that continually emerge from outside the reach of the lights with the magic of wind and ice.
"I'm sick of it."
Hill-like demons that are constantly attacking me don't even feel so threatened.
But Lorna seemed to only sigh at that number that sprang up in a long time.
"Nothing. You wouldn't mind this much, would you? Although it takes a lot of work."
"How long will it last, this?
"If this starts pulling, it's more trouble."
"What do you mean?
A change appears in the Hills' movements when Aldis interrupts Lorna's conversation with Sarah.
A herd of hills buried Ardis' whereabouts without a gap began to move to avoid something.
Feeling strong magic at the heart of the move, Ardis raised his alert level.
Pull the red Devil's sword out of his sheath and place it with both hands.
Flying to the center where Hill is fleeing ahead of the magical lights finally captures his appearance in sight.
"Wow, big"
A childish expression pops out of Rona's mouth.
The first thing I see in my eyes is bright red.
The hardy epidermis also appeared to superimpose the plates, reminding me of the plate mails.
He's probably about eight meters long.
Standing on two thick hind legs, the demon is balanced as he rocks his rough tail to the left and right.
When I wondered if he moved to explore a universe with nothing much smaller forelegs than his hind legs, his upper body quickly bent forward and stuck Hill, who had missed escape with his sharp, pointed jaw (chin).
One whole hill is captured and disappears into its mouth.
Then again, and yet another Hill, who had missed the run, was preyed upon.
"Hey, Al. Could that be it?"
"Oh. It must be something like a dragon shell beast. I've never seen it before..."
A body reminiscent of a giant reptile.
And a large corner protruding to the left and right of the head and shoulders.
Three pairs of creepy red eyes.
It was a very dangerous demon called the Dragon Shell Beast.
"You think they're going to attack me?
"Sort of..."
When the dragon shell beast swallowed the fifth hill understands that there is no new prey left around, it turns its gaze to the Ardis.
"Right."
Three pairs of red eyes showed a creepy glow.
Apparently, he recognized the Ardis as his prey.
"I'm coming!
Ardis and the others scatter in Saila's voice.
By contrast, the dragon shell beast approached him with a sleigh to see how it was going.
"It!"
Rona creates a blade of wind just like when she releases it toward Hill.
An invisible blade that occurs to surround the golden body is released to the dragon shell beast as it curves.
But Rona's blade, which easily (easily) cleaves the grinder, also seemed ineffective for the Dragon Shell Beast's armor.
What I saw after the sound of the plundering (tearing) was some scratches engraved on the red epidermis.
"I want to!
It seems to be quite stiff, such as finally scratching shallow even with Rona's sorcery.
"So how about this?
Aldis, who saw Rona's attack and understood the robustness of the epidermis, unleashes the magic of light.
A muscle of light condensed to the extreme struck directly at the tail of the dragon shell beast.
"... doesn't work much"
The light that seemed to pierce the dragon shell beast was bounced onto the hard scales of the epidermis, changing the angle, and penetrating the hole straight into the ground of the cave.
It seems to be more damaging than Rona's attack because of the blood flowing from the part of the light, but still hard to say profound.
The protection of the Dragon Shell Beast was tougher than expected against an attack that would penetrate if it were a concurrent demon.
"Coming, Al!
Rona's warning.
Something spit out of the dragon shell beast's mouth in a straight line without putting it between.
It's like a thin stick is stretching out of your mouth.
That thin stick reaches two meters forward at the foot of Aldis, scraping the ground - no, cutting.
The ground was amputated by something released from the mouth of the dragon shell beast.
The resulting thin groove looms towards Ardis as if it were a knife slice into the fruit.
"Shit!"
Aldis tripled the magic barrier with tongue-beating.
But the crack begins to enter from where the Dragon Shell Beast attack hit that strong barrier.
It emitted a broken glass sound and the first barrier was destroyed.
Something released by the dragon shell beast goes straight up to the torso to convey Ardis' body.
As it was, the second sheet was destroyed, and when Ardis tried to lay more barriers, new barriers wrapped themselves around it sooner than that.
The attack of the Dragon Shell Beast passes past the tip of Aldis's face, still held back by the barrier, and disappears a metre overhead.
"If you're going to keep that thing from the front, you should at least lay five of them on top of each other."
Apparently, Saila gave me cover.
"Sorry."
Honestly admitting his mistake, Ardis turns his eyes to the groove on the ground engraved by the Dragon Shell Beast attack.
There was black powder scattered along the ground with cuts in it.
"Iron... sand of?
Probably ejected finely crushed iron grains at high speeds.
Something like a brace of shiitake iron sand.
"Shall I clean it up?
"No, I'll do it"
The more you look at it once, the less dangerous the attack.
When Ardis calls about ten swords from the 'Gate', he unleashes them towards the Dragon Shell Beast.
Flying swords slash from all sides into enemies simultaneously.
However, regardless of the three copies of "Aotearoa Colorful (Is that so)," "Mo Chunxia (Timharu but Sumi)" and "Tsukishiro Fubuki", it is just a story that is impossible to penetrate the hard armor of a dragon shell beast with a heavy iron sword.
Because even three bottles of seven-colored powder (lecia powder) do not escape its strong protection.
"Do you have to kill him directly?"
Several heavy iron swords were shot down by a brace of iron sand, and Ardis re-gripped the red demon sword and popped out for a breath.
Dive instantly into the nostalgia of the Dragon Shell Beast, which had been deprived of consciousness by the Flying Sword.
The dragon shell beast notices Ardis's proximity and turns his fangs, but already its throat is between demon swords.
"This would be -!"
Aldis wields the Devil's Sword sideways.
Unlike a flying sword that leaves a man's hand, it is a demonic sword on which the power of Ardis was put as it were.
And no matter how tough the armor is put together, the throat protection is just thin.
The neck of the dragon shell beast was packed and torn, and a lot of blood flooded out of it.
The battle is decided by this blow.
Ardis fires two more shots into the scratch-resistant Dragon Shell Beast.
When the dragon shell beast, which had been attacking for a long time until then, fell to the ground, Ardis finally took a breath at a distance from the wreckage.
"You've been a real pain in the ass."
"I was watching. Don't you say that."
When he complained about Lorna like we did, Ardis prompted Saila to go back into the cave again.
After several battles with demons I encountered on the road, when I walked for about three kilometers in my body feeling after entering the cave, I saw a strong light ahead of me.
"Sounds like you can finally get out there."
Seeing the light of the sun makes Rona happy to speed up her legs.
But when he went about ten steps, his leg suddenly stopped showing a bouncing motion.
"What's up, Rona?
……
Even though Aldis, wondering, asks, has not heard back from Rona.
Eventually, it wasn't Ardis who threw the words at Rona, but Saila, who was next to her.
"Is that it?
"That's right."
"Uh-huh."
Ardis, who was leaning his neck towards that exchange, also takes another five minutes or so from there to finally understand what it means.
Five hundred meters away in the direction of travel.
Because he captured the presence of a giant creature with a tremendous amount of magic at a critical distance from which Aldis' magical exploration would arrive.
About eight years after I was flown into this world.
It was the first time I had ever met a being with such powerful magic.
"... of this, you mean"
Ardis squeezes out his words like a groan.
I see. I guess there's no other way for Rona to be silent.
"Now let's go"
Saila walks flat about Ardis standing up.
There's no point in staying on the bar like this.
Aldis and Rona moved forward silently, chasing the black clothes leading the way.
Gradually, sunlight increases the proportion of vision.
Took about thirty minutes to finally get through the cave and out to the visible spot in the sky, Ardis opened his eyes and lost his words.
"Become...!
A basin as small as a lair surrounded by high mountains on all sides.
Nestled there are creatures huge enough to look up.
Understand its existence without having to ask Sarah.
"The Warcraft King of Canobis"
with overwhelming power. That was what was staring Ardis in the cold eye.
