On the road to the back, the Ethereals had fought several times against demons of water attributes.
A leopard whose body is made of water. A bug that sprays water from your feet for fast travel. Slime that condenses and ejects water.
There are demons of diverse water attributes, such as half-fishers and water golems.
Ethereum, Deena and Atra take them down lightly.
Before their strength, even demons specialized in water could easily break through.
"There's got to be the one who went first, but there's a demon, I wonder what this is because it's a dungeon too"
"That's a good question too! Sota is right. The Dungeon Demon is said to be created by the Dungeon and will be resurrected after a while even if defeated."
Deena replies confidently to Ethereal's words, which lightly chop down the demons of the water attributes that have appeared once again and say them as impressed.
"I see, then you'd better move on. If you slow down, the demons might come out again"
"Right, I don't know what's waiting for me in the back, so I think the fight should be minimal"
Whereas they have considerable strength, the two of them are not even finely dusty about something called alarm, and are committed to allowing anyone against them to intercept them in the state of a counterstone.
'... don't feel a little sympathy for those who deal with you two'
Atra saw the strongest pair and was sympathetic to the demons who were going to fight the two of them, and to someone who would be in the back.
As we go further from there, we hear voices from the back.
"- Damn, there 'll be too many demons. You guys, don't break the line!
It is a slightly open area, where the Lord of Voices is fighting demons by giving instructions to his men's knights to cry out.
The opposite was a large demon, with a long body - the so-called Japanese type of water dragon. They were dealing with it.
It has a transparent body that takes the shape of a dragon as it is, and every time it moves, they create a stream of water fluidly.
The demon is being dealt with by ten people wearing the same armor as the man at the entrance, and eleven combined with the person giving the instructions.
Everyone is equipped with high-ranking weapons and protective gear, but it seemed like a bad part of it when dealing with the water dragon.
I can see that figure fighting with a look of tension and anxiety, eating up his teeth and managing to endure it.
"... Mr. Sorta, what should we do?
"Um, you can knock it down, but even if they tell you they took your prey from the side, it's nasty."
Even while they were discussing what the two of them would do with a troubled look, they were being pushed further and further into disadvantage.
'Wouldn't it be nice to talk to whoever's giving that instruction?
Atra looks at the two troubled people, and their situation, and advances them thinking they need to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Well, do you like that? Let's go."
Aotearoa approached the man giving the instructions, saying with a little ease as if he were going out to the neighborhood.
"Uh, excuse me. A passing adventurer, but should I help?
"Huh... what are you!?
The man, who was giving instructions by shaking his body with a vicun to Ethereum, who spoke out somewhat reluctantly, looks back in momentum.
A strange man called out to me where I was concentrating my battle.
This was enough to confuse him.
"Uh... we're adventurers. You seemed to be struggling with that dragon, so should I join you? I'm asking you a question."
As the man looking confused can see, Aeta is again, more detailed than earlier. and speak concisely.
"Oh, even if you guys don't join us, such demons, we're enough!
The man who dyed his face into the color of anger yells at Ethereum in that way.
If you try him, you won't be able to defeat that demon, will you? But I felt like I was being told, and I even thought I was being ridiculed.
"Uh, well, but it sounds tough..."
As he gently advances, Deena points to the ten men in battle and says:
Five in half of the ten had been blown away, each injured or unconscious, while the man who was giving the instructions took a few eyes off.
"Ugh!... hey, what are you doing! Why don't you just get up and fight!
When he sees that he gave such instructions to the injured people, Aotearoa again understands that this is a bad situation.
"Ugh, I can't help it... - I'll let you do it on your own!
Aeta, who gave up on sighing, takes the moon at night to the water dragon with her right hand.
The remaining five knights are also stubbornly moving in such a way as full-blown creation.
There the dragon was in the tame position to release the brace of water.
A mass of water is gathered at the mouth of the dragon that makes it feel like a twist of power.
"Deena!"
"Copy that! - Spirit, please!
A rejoicing spirits respond to Deena's call, creating water walls to protect the remaining knights to prevent braces.
Spirit of water that had been able to store enough water magic because it had manifested itself so far.
Successfully create strong water walls that will only resist the dragon's braces.
The powerful braces of released water were inherently powerful enough that even rocks seemed to penetrate lightly, but the water walls produced by the Spirit firmly prevent the braces. The quenched water was dispersed and extinguished as it twisted.
"... Gallu!?
A wall of water is preventing a sudden appearance of an attack of its own that I didn't think would be prevented.
That was an incomprehensible sight for a water dragon.
"Hey, you guys get down once. You keep doing it, you're just gonna lose your life to mischief!
Knights whose movements stop at the instructions of the scolding Ethereum.
All they ever did was take instructions and fight, and they just seemed confused and physically immobile when they took instructions other than from their boss.
But also in the meantime, the water dragon was ready to move on to his next attack.
The water dragon, in a move that builds strength, wields his tail wide to try to blow Ethereum and Deena, as well as the knights.
"Atra!"
"Accepted!"
But the tail will be stopped along the way.
Atra jumped instantly at Aotearoa's call, hitting her tail and stopping her from moving.
"- Huh!
Aotearoa does not stop her running legs, she heads straight for the water dragon, and slashes them at night on the moon.
Previously, the knights had attacked the water dragon with swords and spears.
Those attacks were on the water dragon, but that didn't happen if it was connected to the damage.
Because a water dragon with a body of water had made his own body made of water open the knights' attack-minute gap only for a moment, flushing through all of their attacks.
"And I don't believe it..."
"... is this happening?
The knights, who had so far been forced to struggle without their teeth standing, were astonished, and stared at the sight being played out in front of them.
The night moon blow released by Aotea had lightly amputated the body of the water dragon. That's with such a sharp blow that the water dragon doesn't give the corresponding gap.
That didn't just split the water.
Aotearoa catches it magnificently because the demonic stone, the source of power, has flown from within the body that was targeted and torn apart.
"Sounds like you had some pretty good magic."
The magnitude of the demonic stone in the hands of Ethereum, who stared at it as determined, was about the size of an adult male fist, not the ratio of those demons there.
Aeta, who defeated the water dragon without struggling at all, returns to Deena and Atra waiting.
The two of them greeted Ethereum somewhere happy with the natural results.
"I'm sorry I embezzled your prey. In the meantime, we should treat the ones who are falling."
Even though Aotearoa advised him to do so without turning around, the man who had given the instruction kept his mouth slightly open, just looking at the fallen water dragon.
The water dragon, which lost its demonic stone, quickly lost its shape and vanished with only the scales and other materials of the water dragon. Aotearoa picks it up a little and pushes it into her bag.
"... Ha, ha, yes! We'll treat the wounded first!
A voice was spoken by Ethereum trying to leave, and he was instructed by a man who returned to me hah, and the knights who could move carried the fellow knights to a stable place. And I started using the healing pills.
The leader's man, who confirmed it, turns to the Ethereals again.
"... I don't know who it is, but it helped. Thank you, thank you."
He bowed his head deeply and, at first glance, was a man who was honestly thankful, but the face he gave him was a clenched lip and a harsh expression.
