"That's ...... amount"

"Well, there are hundreds, if not thousands"

Walking along a cave full of bones is like exploring a tomb, even if a monster suddenly rushes out. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"You're scared, little ghost, if you're afraid, let's go back, right?"

"Actually, you're afraid, aren't you?"

"I don't know whose hands are trembling"

"I feel cold, it's a natural reaction of human beings."

"It's 40 degrees around?"

"Well, humans feel cold and shiver when they have a fever."

Elle and I looked at each other again, this time because of the Light Charm, which allowed us to see each other's expressions and eyes.

"Well, let's change the subject."

"Well, agreed"

And then there was silence.

Kala, kala.

"Kid, don't let these things make this noise again, okay?"

"I can't help it, the ground is full of bones......"

As I said, every step you step on makes you get goosebumps for the rest of your life.

"Now, little ghost"

"What's the matter, if you're afraid, can we go back?"

"No!"

Ellie grabbed my neck hard, but luckily I had stopped my breathing with magic, whatever you wanted.

"Why do you think Sruka wants to kill these cavemen?"

Ellie's questions are also in my mind.

The first thing that came to my mind was what the dragon had said when I confronted Sluka face to face.

'The noble dragon has no interest in destroying your poor race, occupying your poor territory'

Sure enough, the dragon was lying to me.

Every bone scattered all over the ground is evidence of the dragon's lies.

"But he said he wouldn't destroy, not that he wouldn't slaughter?"

Ellie listened to my thoughts and asked her questions.

"Oh oh! Princess Elle, who is good at politics, can grasp this subtle difference"

"Hey, hey, hey"

Please, I'm not praising you.

"But does that mean Sluka didn't lie to you?"

"What's the difference between playing this game of chewing words and lying?"

I spread out my hands and asked with a helpless expression.

"Anyway, he still wants to stuff us between his teeth, maybe the caveman who died here was eaten by him."

"Haha, that's impossible~"

Ellie smiled and waved at me.

"Historically, cavemen have never been the first choice for dragon predation, and if you think about it, how can a locust like a bug be delicious?"

"You humans are the same, you like to eat grassy cattle and sheep because their meat is delicious."

"You're right......

"Now that we've said that, I'm here."

The little one swallowed.

"Next time you go back, take me to a steak"

"Thanks to this, you can still raise your appetite in this environment"

"Kuola little ghost, if you don't mention this, will you die, it took me a lot of effort to forget all this garbage around me"

Because of the celebration banquet that escaped from the elf game before, Elle tasted the taste of steak, and it seems that this is ...... This little ancestor can't do it with chocolate cake anymore......

As we walked, the surrounding caverns began to widen.

The bones piled up on the edge of the cave had finally become scarce, and now they were completely gone.

"There's the sound of flowing water?"

"It looks like an underground cave"

The bright light from the Light Spell reflected off the surrounding stalactites, turning into a faint white fluorescence.

The whole cave is as if it is lit up with small lamps, and it becomes extremely beautiful.

It's a completely different world from the hellish scene just now.

"Stream"

The cool water didn't reach my ankles, and the stream was like an air conditioner, taking away all the hot air around me, and continuing deeper into the cave, the air became cooler.

The space of the cavern became wider, and the light of the Light Charm could no longer reach the distant walls of the cave.

The sound of shallow water flowing echoed throughout the cavern, and it sounded refreshing.

"Hey, that!"

Looking in the direction of Ellie's finger, one appeared in the light of the Light Spell - the throne?

Although it is carved from stalagmites and has a rough style that is not elaborate at all, this shape must be the throne.

"Is this ......?"

"That's right, maybe this is the caveman's throne hall."

"But no one? I mean, uh, no cavemen?"

"Do you still need to ask, it must have been eaten up by Sluka"

"Poof, Ellie or did you say that dragons don't eat cavemen?"

"And what do you think happened here?"

How could I possibly know this, and I am not a prophet.

Rattle Click......

A slight, jaw tremor sound.

'Magic!'

Suddenly appeared behind us, as if teleported, an ominous mass of magic.

Quickly activate the magic power in my body, use my fastest attack, and turn around to unleash a magical vortex in that direction.

Whoosh -

A sharp vortex of magic swept through the empty space like bullets, plunging headlong into the earth.

Ground floor?

Once my whirlpool is in the dirt, it has no power.

"Kadur-Faza"

A sound that came from the vibrations of my throat was familiar to me......

Not far away, on the ground, the ground began to crumble, as if it had been punched violently, and the ground collapsed in its entirety, and—

A large figure emerged from the dirt.

It turned out that it was hidden here from the beginning, but why didn't you perceive its magic!?

Wait a minute......

It is more than two meters tall, with an upright body and a hunched back, two stout hind legs, relatively thin front paws, and small fin-like fans on either side of the head.

This big lizard is ......

Aside from the fact that his whole body now looks as fluffy as it looks like it's made of mud, I'm sure he's Gagantu Flameskin!

The troglodyte general I once faced off with at the North Pass Pass!

A pair of large green eyes with a black crescent-shaped pupil in the center were firmly grasping the position of Elle and me.

Whoosh -

With a shake of my hand, a magical vortex rushed out of my hand and sinked steadily into the skin of Gagantu.

However......

The small crater, which looked like a bullet hole, was instantly filled by the surrounding skin, and it was like sand leaking into a low-lying hole, and it was instantly restored.

Hey, hey, hey!

I didn't hear that Gagantu had such a skill?

Didn't he say that his weakness was that he had a low defense against magic?

No, no, when I looked closely, the earth and water were crawling up his body like alive, following his claws, merging with his skin.

So...... This lizard doesn't increase its resistance to magic, it just has great resilience!

So what am I afraid of you!?

Activate the magic and make your body instantly red, now I am different, there are many big magic that can make you eat at once!

"Wait!"

The giant lizard held out his hand as if trying to stop me, and his massive body took a step back.

Hey?

Is this really Gagantu?

Has that general, known as Flame Skin, ever cowered in front of me?

No, at least not in my impression.

The last time he forced Gagantu to retreat, it was only by scaring him with the name of Mespil and convincing him that he was already at a strategic disadvantage, and I was able to get out of the crisis.

So what happened to Gagantu?
