"Hmm, ahem・・・・・・ what a bad smell. "I covered my nose with my hands, and for a while I couldn't take in this smoky place.www.biquge.info

Akai waved his hand and looked at the wasteland in front of him with a frown.

As we expected, we arrived at the place where the Hydra dwelled, and where the Hydra was trapped by the ender dragon's men using the enchantment.

Now, we must step through the fiery swamp in front of us and go to the front of the Hydra, and only then can our next mission begin.

How does it sound like the protagonist of a role-playing game? This is a situation where overcoming many obstacles (although most of them are caused by god-like teammates) and finally moving from the previous NPC to the next NPC to continue the mission.

But in other words, what we're doing right now is something like an epic mission.

Save the world's gods.

Well, hero, how to write it in English, hero. Take H and Ero apart・・・・・・

Ahem, it will be a river crab.

On the dark brown ground, not a single grass grows, and the scorching flames bake the land all the time.

But even so, the trees were able to grow here, and Akai and I were completely immune to all the unscientific novelties presented by this illogical world.

Now, we wouldn't be surprised if the ender dragon suddenly appeared in front of us.

"Ouch・・・・・・" I sighed inexplicably.

Akai looked at me quizzically, blinked, and symbolically pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Anyway, this place is dangerous." Akai looked at the dark ground.

This place is called Fire Swamp, which can also be called Flame Swamp, as the name suggests, this place used to be a swamp at all, but I don't know why it became like this, flames and swamps coexist.

Could it be because the Hydra inhabits it?

Shaking his head, Akai stepped out first.

"It's useless to just stand here and hesitate, let's go to the nine-headed dragon first."

"Yes." I nodded.

That being said, this place is a bit more dangerous than we thought. Not long after, as Akai continued to walk, suddenly a pillar of fire shot out from in front of Akai, and flames like fireworks rolled in front of Akai's eyes.

"Ahhhh Stumbling under his feet, Akai couldn't help but fall backwards to the ground, "This ・・・・・・ scared my father to death." ”

I was also taken aback for a moment, and reflexively raised the staff in my hand, seeing this scene, I quickly stretched out my hand to help Akai up and retreated.

It was only when it was more than five meters away from the pillar of fire that it stopped.

"It's a dangerous place." I couldn't help but sigh that I could encounter such a trap just by walking, and that this place was not for people to stay, and that it was no wonder that I hadn't even encountered an animal once along the way.

Akai gasped for air, this feeling of passing by death has always been very bad, and I can understand this.

He patted Akai on the shoulder with his hand, and wrapped us all in with a [Healing Technique] and [Fire Force Field].

The release condition of the [Flame Force Field] is that there must be a fire source around it, or the temperature around it reaches a certain condition, which seems to be just right now.

After isolating the heat, Akai finally returned to normal.

After collecting our minds, we moved on, but more carefully than before, paying attention to what was wrong with our feet at every step.

As we slowly moved forward, huge tongues of fire often erupted from the ground around us, each time very suddenly, making us nervous.

"What is this?" After a tongue of fire was sprayed, we stopped and crouched down to see what could be causing the phenomenon.

At least know what it is! This is a thought that Akai and I share. Naturally, I pulled "Twilight Forest in Detail" out of my backpack.

The pages of the book rolled and stopped at one of the pages of the regional introduction.

"I see, it's a flame-spraying block." I'm amazed, and sure enough, there is nothing strange in the world.

"What's down there?" Akai pointed to the ground in front of him that had just finished spewing fire.

"It's magma."

"I see, no wonder I can breathe fire." Akai noticed that the surface of the block that could shoot flames was different from the normal ground, and although it was mixed with the ground, there was a darker circle in the center. That's where the flames erupt.

"That way, it's much easier to dodge."

After a short break, we approached a huge rocky mountain.

Slowly, the air was suppressed, and an unknown pressure was invading us and pressing on us.

The footsteps became heavier.

"Akai・・・・・・" I called softly.

"Ah, I feel it, it's a chilling power." Akai exhaled.

With a keen sense of the six senses, we can better appreciate how powerful the power of the nine-headed dragon is.

After taking a deep breath, I let out the magic in my body and confronted this inexplicable pressure.

The air seemed to be squeezed, and the ripples visible to the naked eye rippled before our eyes. Akai couldn't help but put his arm in front of him and protect his head.

After a stalemate, it seemed that the owner didn't want to embarrass us too much, and the pressure gradually dissipated.

Feeling all this, Akai and I glanced at each other, and we could both see the solemnity in each other's eyes.

――――――――I'm a dividing line――――――――

Approaching the crater, we came around a huge platform.

As far as I could see, an ancient beast was lying quietly in the huge and hollow cave in the crater mountain.

As if sensing our arrival, the nine-headed dragon slowly opened its huge eyes, the pale pink eyes were glowing with red streamers, and the three huge and slender dragon heads were raised from the prostrate state.

Akai and I looked at the behemoth in front of us in silence, and didn't make any movements.

【Nice power ・・・・・・】

A deep and solemn voice echoed in our ears, and we knew it was the voice of the nine-headed dragon. The cave echoed the hydra's voice in the air, bringing out a burst of echoes.

"Thanks for the compliment." I closed my eyes, then opened them again, staring intently at the nine-headed dragon's head. "Following the instructions of God and the old goat, we have come to you to seek solutions to the problems of this world."

[The old man has long known and has been waiting for your arrival here. 】

Nodding, Akai continued my words and said, "So, what to do next?" Or do you want to solve the problem of your ・・・・・・ predecessors being sealed first? ”

The nine-headed dragon stretched out the middle head, and the huge dragon head almost took over our vision.

[En・・・・・・ don't be in a hurry first. Although the strength of those three guys is not as good as mine, they should not be underestimated, and the strength of you, although the old man has tried it before, he has not yet learned it. Come on, young boys, show your strength, and let the old decay face up to it. 】

As he spoke, the nine-headed dragon lifted the three dragon heads high.

[If you can't even force the strength of the old decay, then you are not qualified to fight those three lichs, let alone help the old decay to remove this enchantment and save the world. 】

The three huge heads shook slowly, and the nine-headed dragon stomped heavily on all fours.

After all, do you still have to fight! Akai complained frantically in his heart, can't he get along amicably, how bad it is to fight and kill!

"Babble." I grabbed my hair helplessly and looked at the majestic ancient beast in front of me.

It is worthy of being the guardian of a world that can almost be compared to the ender dragon, and if we don't have the strength, we can't get its attention and recognition.

But that's fine・・・・・・

In an instant, the magic began to fluctuate, and a pitch-black longbow appeared in Akai's hand at some point.

Let's see・・・・・・

"Human power!"

"Human power!!"
