Fog Hidden Village, tavern.

In the room of the tavern, Beladonna finished washing, took off her coat and was about to go to bed, when a thunderous roar came from afar!

"The voice is...... The sound of a dragon? The merchant's eldest lady was in good spirits, and hurriedly walked to the window and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

It was pitch black in the distance, and nothing could be seen.

"O loving Mother Earth, I hope you can bless Green......" The merchant lady closed her eyes and prayed for Green.

Just as the merchant's eldest lady was praying, suddenly there was a sound of "biu~" in the distance, followed by "Bang!" ~" Something exploded in the sky.

"Is that a flare that I agreed with Lord Green?" The businessman's eyes lit up.

In the dark of night, the light of the flares is particularly conspicuous, and even the dense fog that surrounds the village does not completely block the light of the flares.

Beladonna hurriedly got dressed, ran out, and knocked on the employees' doors one by one.

"Everybody's up!"

"Did something happen? Miss. A coachman opened the door with a confused face.

"Get dressed and get ready to go! Master Green signaled for us to come over and help with the loot. Beladonna's face was full of excitement.

"But Miss, it's already dark now."

"Even if it's dark, you have to go!" The eldest merchant shouted angrily, "I have completed this mission, and I will go back and give you a bonus!" ”

At Beladonna's urging, everyone got up, got dressed, and prepared to go. That's when ......

"Boom!"

Huge flames descend from the sky!

The flames soared into the sky, and the whole village was instantly plunged into a sea of fire, like the end of the world! A huge monster landed in the village, with its head held high and roaring with an earth-shattering roar!

"Roar!!

It was a red dragon as bright as flames! The powerful dragon power is like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's hearts fiercely!

The businessman's face turned pale, and she collapsed directly to the ground, her brain blank. How, how can this be? Didn't Master Grimm kill the red dragon and signal us to go and make peace with him? Where did this dragon come from?

The sudden attack of the red dragon plunged the entire village into chaos.

……

In the underground of the Fog Hidden Village, there is a secret passage that extends in all directions, except for the followers of the Lord of Shadows, no one knows the full extent of this secret passage, and the Church of the Lord of Shadows is in one of the secret rooms.

In the chamber, the altar of the Lord of Shadows emitted a faint glow, and a black emblem floated above the altar. Unlike other churches, the Church of the Lord of Shadows is usually not established in a conspicuous place, but is hidden in a secret room or tunnel.

In the village, the red dragon is wreaking havoc, and in the secret room beneath the village, a group of villagers are hiding in this secret church, praying to the Lord of Shadows and seeking refuge.

At this moment, a young woman entered the church through an underground secret passage.

"Raku, you still have a face!" Seeing the young man walking in, the village chief stood up with an angry face, "I asked you to go to the city to kidnap sacrifices, but you attracted a group of adventurers?" What exactly do you want to do!? ”

The young man in women's clothing, who used to look submissive in front of Green, was calm and calm when faced with the village chief's questioning: "Of course I want to kill that red dragon." Although you can deal with the kidnapping sacrifice in other cities for a while, sooner or later it will be exposed, and only by finding a way to kill that dragon can you really solve the problem. ”

"Kill that red dragon?" The village chief pointed to the top of his head and sneered, "Just like this? ”

"Even if it weren't for the people I found, wouldn't the other adventurers attack that dragon?" The young man in female clothes sneered, "Instead of letting the incapable adventurer provoke that dragon, it is better to take the initiative and find the adventurer who has the ability to slay the dragon." ”

"An adventurer with the ability to slay dragons?" The village chief sneered, "You mean that boy who is not even extraordinary? Or is it the assassin hidden in the shadow of that teenager? ”

"At least he did have a successful experience with dragon slaying. Compared to those adventurers of unknown origin, this dragon slayer is much more reliable. ”

"Now is not the time to argue about these things." A priest of the Lord of Shadows, cloaked in a black cloak and a mask on his head, stood up from the altar and said indifferently, "That red dragon is destroying the gates of the labyrinth!" ”

"What!?"

"Is that dragon crazy!? If the gate of the maze is destroyed, the monsters inside will escape! In the face of those monsters that can't be killed, even the dragon can't retreat peacefully, right? ”

The pastor's words caused a commotion in the crowd.

"We have to stop him! Otherwise, even with the protection of our Lord, we will not be able to escape the doom of death. ”

"How to stop it? That dragon is in the sky! ”

When everyone was arguing, the young man in women's clothes standing at the door quietly began to retreat......

"Raku, where do you want to go?" The village chief closest to the boy directly called out to the boy.

"Didn't I want to go out and see what was going on?" The young man in women's clothes showed a pitiful expression.

"Hey! ~ I think you're trying to sneak away. ”

"Oh~ Village Chief, how can you look at me like that? Am I that kind of person? The young man had an aggrieved look on his face.

That's when ......

"Click! ~”

The space is shaking! With a crisp sound, the shockwave of space passed through the wall, turning into an irresistible shockwave that washed everyone's bodies.

"Woo! ~" With a muffled snort of pain, many villagers fell to the ground bleeding directly as if they were seriously injured.

Not only that, in the spatial shock, the holy emblem on the altar swayed and went out with a "snap"!

"The labyrinth has been destroyed, and my lord has abandoned this place." The priest of the Lord of Shadows glanced at the vanishing emblem and said indifferently, "Everyone, start retreating through the secret passage, whether you can escape or not depends on your luck!" ”

"Lord Priest, help, save me......" A villager lay on the ground, weakly raising his hands.

The priest did not speak, and indifferently pushed the altar open, revealing a secret passage under the altar.

"Whoever can still walk comes with me!" Ignoring the badly injured ordinary villagers on the ground, the priest jumped straight into the secret passage.

"Hey! ~I knew it. The village chief wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced at the young man in women's clothes who had fallen to the ground, and with a sinister smile on his face, he turned around, walked to the altar, and jumped into the secret passage with the priest.

"Damn! I don't want to die! The young woman tried to get up, but his weak body was completely weak.

The internal organs are like knives, and just getting up makes the young man's seven orifices bleed......

"Wow! ~" The young man in women's clothes vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground again.

Looking up at the secret passage not far away, the young man's heart was full of despair!

Just then, the wall at the top of the chamber began to shake.

"Boom~" sound! Accompanied by a large amount of rubble, the chamber collapsed, and the whole world was plunged into darkness.
