"I stopped the worm well and the master slashed it. This is the ideal shape.

"Sure, that's ideal… other individuals may emerge, and they may have special abilities we don't know about.

"Hmm... there are too many things to think about!

Nil may not have noticed, but when he started acting with me, he kept waiting for my instructions and basically didn't think for himself.

Recently, more and more people have been thinking, worrying, and acting on their own.

I did not intervene in any rough path or major decisions related to the future, but I moved a lot more myself in battle and everyday life.

What's wrong with that? As you may think, this was a very happy change for me.

If we can talk like this, you may realize that I didn't notice, and you may come up with a better idea. Simply think about it, because you have two heads, you can think twice as much. Well, it's not that simple, but it's more efficient than thinking alone.

And waiting for instructions is like being a slave. I can break the shell and think and act as a human being. I'm honestly glad you've changed.

"Ha ha ha. I hadn't seen a monster named Strong Enemy before. This is the time to show off the adventurer's arms.

"... yes!

Nearly an hour after that, Nil and I decided in detail how to deal with various situations.

"Alright, that's enough measures. The rest is actually watching the worm.

"Yes. If you decide it's dangerous, withdraw immediately, rethink your measures, and try again...

"That's right. If you're in a hurry, your feet will be ruined. All right, let's go.

Yes!

As Zanti watched, Nil and I stepped into the habitat of the worms in front of us.

"It's quiet..."

"I don't like the quiet..."

There is little noise from the surroundings that makes you wonder if monsters really live there. The extent to which a small pebble falling on the ground is swayed by a rare earthquake.

Mountain roads converge like a maze to the right and to the left, and suddenly tension only increases when the worm may pop out from the side.

Another earthquake...

Sometimes active volcanoes are close, and there are many earthquakes. In addition, it is not as hot as the salamander habitat, but it is also hot enough around here.

"... Master..."

Me and Nil stopped in front of the earthquake. Behind the dark valleys, you can see something stupid. At the same time, there is a faint sound of shredding, shredding and hard objects.

"Is that... a worm..."

It looks exactly like the middle of a snake and a worm, and the cylindrical body is blue and black, and the scales shaped like rose petals grow from the mouth without gaps.

No eyes, a mouth about two meters larger than the diameter of the body. Among them are thick teeth like my torso. I don't know exactly how long my body is, but it will be ten meters.

"You look vicious..."

Grippy... Grippy...

"What have you been doing?

Every time the worm moves its body, it hears the sound of a hard object shredding.

Worrying and observing a little, I found out who the sound was.

"You're eating hardened lava..."

"You're eating while sharpening the mountain skin.

A worm that opens its mouth wide, cleverly sharpens the mountain skin and puts debris into its mouth. I knew what you were feeding me, but I didn't know you were eating stones...

In the black mountains, it can be seen that the worm has scraped off the skin of the mountain, leading to the glue and the summit.

At the back, you can see a mountain that is not sharp and has a slender shape. This means that the worms are shredding and eating mountains in their natural form.

I don't know why, but... it's a habit.

"Fighting mountain eating monsters is... amazing..."

"The monsters aren't malicious, so I'm still in a better mood.

"... that's right.

Monsters attack people for various reasons to eat, to protect their children, to eliminate them from nawabali, and to protect themselves, but there is no malice there. All of them are necessary for survival. Yes, unlike the Holy Knights.

"Nevertheless, the horror as a single unit is not comparable to that of a soldier. Let's get in the mood.

Yes!

Katcha...

Draw a thin sword and draw a magical formation. The worm hasn't noticed us yet.

Let's start with the magic of stalling. Even if there is no damage, magic of the type that stops moving may quickly catch you.

Draws a complex magical formation and emits a yellow-green light.

Advanced Tree Magic, Tree Tie Sewing. Magic that seals the movement of the opponent, with thick trees that are comparable to the worm's torso popping out of the ground and fixed to the ground. Only the advanced tree magic taught by Elves can't be solved with those monsters.

However, on the contrary, the effect is thinner for small subjects like humans, and the effect of crushing is more pronounced than blocking the movement. There are many other better magic if you just crush it.

Trees that grow suddenly from the ground wrap around the body of the worm and move to secure it to the ground.

"Let's go!

Yes!

Take me first and approach the worm at once.

"Gahhhh!!

I'm squirming my body, but it's not sweet enough to solve advanced magic.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The tree that was trying to bind the worm collapses. I began to use my mouth because I thought I couldn't solve it just because I got upset.

"I'll chew the rock, so it won't stop like wood...

Paki!

When you put a lot of pressure on your right foot, the ground will ring.

"I'll get a big dagger!!

Zann!!

The part close to the tail was still fixed to the ground, making it easy to aim. It is not the thickness that can be cut with a single dagger, but the length of the sword caused the injury.

The cut scale falls to the ground.

"Gahhhh!!

The Worm will attack me before the magic that holds me hostage. A thick, long fang is coming at me.

"Don't think you can easily touch your husband!

Gong!

When the stone wall protruding from the mountain skin hits the lateral surface of the worm, it collapses. The durability was too different and the stone wall collapsed just by hitting it. But there was a shock enough to interrupt the attack on me.

Gaki!

Nil in the back uses a recently remembered wall lock and immediately slashes his torso with a pale spark. However, it seems that the blade did not go through.

A high metallic sound can be heard, and a flash and pale spark can be seen falling to the ground.

"No way!

Because I had anticipated that the blade would not go through before, Nil went back immediately without being surprised.

"Gah!"

The Worm has failed to deal with it because we attacked it without putting any hair in it from the first magic, and half of its body is still tied to the ground.

Besides, by pinching me and Nil back and forth, the opponent can only attack one side, always creating a situation where they turn their backs on the other. It slides out smoothly like never before.

"Gahhhh!!

You've decided to give me priority over the wounded, or you're gonna open your mouth again.

"Is that really good?

Dgoaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

Explosive sound and shock to the extent that the surrounding mountain skin collapses.

The heart of the explosion is where the nil was slashed. As I slashed it, I stuck a more explosive medium bottle between the salamander's eyebrows into the gap between the worm's scales.

Naturally, I could see it, and I knew that the spark generated by the slashing would become an igniter.

"Gahhhhhhh!"

It seems to have dealt much more damage than I would slash, and the worm is spinning violently.

Scale fragments are scattered, but Nil is calmly playing with a black shield.

"Gahhh!!

"Magic! Back off!"

A magical formation forms around the mouth of the furious worm.

There was no information that the worm used magic, but the lack of information meant that it was uncertain whether to use it, not not not.

I was expecting that it would naturally use magic. I also think about the measures.

Nil falls back a lot and hides behind the mountain skin. The curved passage should be a good shield.

Instead, I will swing my sword again where I slashed it before the magic team is finished. Unlike before, I can shake my sword calmly.

"Haaah!

Zann!!

The thunderbolt, shaken with all its strength, exerted an unimaginable destructive power.

They struck the worm with slashes longer than their swords, which were not supposed to reach them. Simply put, we've broken the worm's torso in two. In addition, there are slashing marks on the mountain skin.

"Gahhhh!!

Gogogogogogogogogogo!!

Many large rocks are created from the mouth of a violent worm and fly in various directions.

The worm turned its attention only to me, and I avoided magic or defended it, or if that wasn't possible, ran off to the mountainside like Nil... but did unexpected damage.

The magically generated rock of the worm pierces the black mountain skin and also the ground. My speed is easy to avoid, and the worm doesn't seem to have room for me in the first place.

If you look at the cut off place while avoiding the rock,

The detached tail side is still in motion while being fixed to the ground.

"Hmm... what was that...?

I can't believe what I did. I don't understand what happened, but I'm lucky you did more damage than I expected. Discussion and verification are behind schedule.

"Master!

When the magic was stopped, Nil raised his voice.

A round bottle taken out of the waist bag and a star-shaped mark drawn on it.

It's an explosive bottle.

An item that took shape on the way here, the bottle contains Bomb Mushrooms and Explosive Mushroom Spores.

What is Blast Mushroom?

[Explosive mushrooms... spores are hard like metal and star-shaped. When it bursts, it splashes around.

That is.

I feel that it is a very dangerous mushroom, but it is not surprisingly so, and there is not much momentum at the time of rupture, so there is no killing power in the state of the mushroom.

That's why we applied machining to increase the killing power.

The simultaneous encapsulation of the Bomb Mushroom spores increases the momentum of rupture and spreads the scattering star-shaped spores at a fierce speed. The experiment was terrifying, but I finally completed a useful item.

Nil that ignites and throws sparks of blue sparks into the cloth attached to the lid of the bottle.

I hide behind the magical rock of the worm.

"Gah!"

The mutilated worm finally frees its body and makes a voice of intimidation against me who hurt itself.

Bababababababa!

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da!

When you hear a light explosion, there are countless star-shaped spores flying around and piercing you.

Originally, an attack of this magnitude would not have been effective against the worm, but the area injured by Nil's exploding bottle was covered in scratches. The area is guaranteed to be damaged.

"Gahhhhhhh!"

As expected, I hear the screams of the worm.

"Haaa!!

Zashh!

Nil flew out immediately after the explosion, and further pursued the wounded part of the worm with a pale spark.

Lily, lily, lily!

The worm hung on Nil and shook the broken torso, but could not catch Nil.

Gah!

The worm turned its back on me. Let's finish this.

He hangs his feet on a hidden rock and jumps off the worm's head.

Ha!

A thin sword that vigorously swings down in the air strikes perpendicularly to the head of the worm and beautifully breaks the face.

Looks like another slash took longer than a sword...

"Gah!"

"Here we go again!

If I think I've defeated it, I wonder if it's a setting where new recruits come out.

The individual who just fell down was attacked at our pace all along because the first surprise was decided quite well, and it's too dangerous to fight each other from the front.

Fall back! Let's go! "

Yes!

Gung-gun!

When Nil fires a spark on a black shield to scatter the spark, he sets fire to the poisonous smoke blasting ball and throws it.

Boom, boom!

The valleys of the mountains are good, and the poisonous smoke blocks the way for new worms. I don't know if the poison works, and I don't know if it'll work for a worm without vision, but it should be... vigilant. Tie him to the ground again.

After all, I am drawing a magical formation of tree ties and sewing, but apparently they are not following me.

Zanty, who was watching us, is also running ahead, and you can think of it as fulfilling the conditions.

Hmm! Wahahaha! Brilliant! "

Zanty sends praise by clapping his hands at us who have taken off the space where the worms live.

Where did you get that silly feeling?

"Unlike our way of fighting, not even the Titans can take down the worm that unilaterally!

"I'll take that compliment honestly.

"Wahaha! I can't believe there's such a guy in the tribe!

"Is that a good story?

"It's not good! It's not going to be good... but it's going to be okay!

I suddenly felt like a rash. You don't seem to think, you don't think...? I don't know anymore.

"Wahahaha! Nhh! Let's get out of here!

After all, Zanty never talked about it until he got back to Black Cloud Mountain.

"We're back!

As Xanthi shouted to Milnare, the Milnare who was waiting at the foot of Mt. Black Cloud approached.

"How'd it go?

"Don't complain! Wahahaha! Definitely strong. Sinya and the others.

"... yes.

Milnare with a slightly dark face. I suppose she has complicated thoughts.

"In order to do things perfectly with each other, I'll take the day off and do it as agreed tomorrow. What do you think?"

"We don't mind.

"Nshi! Then I'll tell Anti and Candy. Today is the day to go over there.

Zanti is regularly exchanging information with this Black Cloud Mountain and the settlement. Even though food is just food, and injured people are constantly managing the number of people in Kuroumyama, they need to exchange information on a regular basis.

I thought it would be better if it were a safer prey, but this would be the best because they are also diverse in their willingness to fight.

Thus, Nil and I entered the black cloud mountain hole for the first time that day.

"There are babies, so don't make too much noise.

"Yes, I know.

Inside the holes were old Giants, pregnant women, and babies, as we talked about. Unlike when I first entered the settlement, everyone was so interested that I never approached Dota Dota Dota.

A total of twenty people, including Mr. Milnale. Still, there is a little room left, and it is quite a large space.

The walls are roughly scraped, but reinforced by earth magic, it looks sturdy.

"... tomorrow, even if they admit them, don't forget they're here, right?

Me and Nil, who saw the inside, will speak directly to Milnare.

"He still seems to have a lot of trouble, but I'm going to trust my sons' judgment.

"... ahh. I don't know what's gonna happen yet, but if Anti and Candy recognize us and we fight together, I swear I won't forget this sight.

"... thank you.

Zanty, just saying that, starts taking care of everybody.

"... you can't finish it.

I can't promise to reduce the burden on the Titans. Nil is saying that. If I could, I would think of a less dangerous role for minority species like Amazonians and Titans.

"... but that's the same for all species.

If you build one, the wrinkles will always spill over to another species.

I may be able to suggest some consideration, but if I lose to the Knights of the Holy Knights, there will be no former children.

"That's right..."

"All we can do to reduce the damage is increase the number of species that will join the Alliance. That's the only way.

"... yes.

When I put my hand on the necklace on my neck, I hear a click.

Do what you can... believe that's the only way to get there.

"Master. Let's get some rest.

"That's right..."

Sit against the wall to avoid getting in the way. As Milnale said, I kept staring inside until I slept, so as not to forget this sight.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

At that time, near Mt. Kuroumi, the Knights of the Holy Order faction, the largest of the tents...

"Holy Knight of Love.

"Oh, you always call me Jake, don't you? Brian."

"I'm sorry... Jake.

A man called the Holy Knight of Love, wearing purple women's armor, strokes down the cheek of the Golden Knight kneeling before his eyes. Returning a small smile to the golden knight filled with words, as the fingertips flowing through his cheeks reached his chin, he lifted his face cummingly.

"... good wow... this wound of yours... is so... lovely... nfu..."

The Golden Knight has beautiful brown eyes under his black forehair. A large scar traversing its center diagonally. An elf man with such an appearance. The Knight of Love, whose face is so beautiful as to be said to be beautiful to anyone, snuggles close to the beautiful face of long eyelashes hidden in the long golden hair of the scapula.
