The Drake Horde
The graveyard and the moat were on the lowest floor.
And above it was the lake.
So there must be sothing else above that.
Toshizou asked about it, and so I explained.
Judging by how this place was made, I would assu that the next floor is the last one. I have calculated how far we fell when the count dropped us.
You must have been very calm in spite of the situation, master.
One must survive no matter what is happening to them.
Indeed. There will be no tomorrow if you dont survive today.
I agreed. And so we headed up to the next floor.
What I believed to be the first floor was very different from the others, as it was a forest.
Well, this is strange. A forest underground.
When I looked up, I saw that we really were underground. There was no sky above.
There are plenty of places like this in this world. Forests and mountains within dungeons. And they have their own mysterious eco systems.
Indeed. I would like to study them and find out how they work.
I feel the sa. If this world is ever at peace, then I will take ti to investigate it.
When you do, I will help you.
Im grateful for the offer, but Im sure you will still be very busy, Toshizou.
Well, even if there is no fighting during the day, there will be at night.
Aye. You are quite the veteran there as well. As long as you keep winning, there will be another battle.
Well, I hope that both battles co to an end soon.
I joked. However, as we talked, I noticed that an ominous air had started to surround us.
Toshizou was the first to take note of it, and he said,
It seems like we are about to be attacked by the enemy.
Yes, it does.
I agreed. And when I looked, I saw a dium-sized dragon.
Its a drake.
Yes. However, this isnt normal.
Toshizou had a bitter expression.
Aye, it would be one thing to see a few of them. But there are ten here. Ah, now there are even more.
It was eleven.
While they may not be real dragons, there is a limit. Besides, I feel as if they are organized.
And then the old man explained.
These drakes are being controlled by a master. A special drake must be on this floor, and it is controlling them. Unless we defeat it, they will continue to attack us.
And how do you know about that?
Because I have done my research. In fact, I helped you two in order to defeat this drake.
You did what, you old shit? To think that you were plotting all along.
It should have been obvious. Why would I help soone who isnt even a beautiful princess.
It was quite the insult, but there was no point in getting angry now.
We should cooperate and kill this drake.
Well, search for it.
And so I moved in between the two.
Now, it doesnt really matter. We cannot get to the surface unless we defeat it. In that case, we should work together.
Very good, Demon King. You understand .
Fine.
Toshizou agreed. And then he cut down a drake that attacked him.
The red drake split into two.
Splendid. But the drake we are looking for is not here. The problem is, how do we find it?
I put a hand to my chin and thought.
In the anti, Toshizou and the old man continued to cut down the drake that attacked us.
They were in sync to an impressive degree, and I couldnt help but watch. At the sa ti, I noticed that the drake reinforcents were coming from a certain direction.
Surely their boss would be there. And so I found a bird that was flying and borrowed its vision.
Once I activated the Hawk Eye magic, my consciousness moved to the bird.
Now that I had its vision, I looked at the forest up ahead. And then I saw that there was an especially large drake deep in the forest.
I see. So thats the famous drake.
I wondered what its na was. As I thought of such things, the old man told .
That drake is called the Morning Star. Doesnt it look like a star that glimrs in the night sky?
I suppose it does.
The old mans voice reminded that I wasnt a bird, and so I returned to my Demon King body.
Now, I want to go and hunt the thing down.
However, Toshizou and the old man had their hands full with the drake. There were just too many of them.
But you two look like youre busy. And so I will go and hunt it on my own.
Toshizou reacted to this.
Are you sure? Youre going to charge in without a single guard?
I dont believe in charging into the enemy while you are alone. But there are tis when it cannot be helped. Ill kill it as quickly as possible, so just keep the other drakes off of my back.
Understood! Toshizou seed to say as he pierced a drake with his sword.
Upon seeing this, I launched so explosive magic into a group of drakes as if it was a farewell gift. As the sound echoed through the forest, I began to run.
Unsurprisingly, so of the drakes chased after , but Toshizou and the old man cut them down.
If you want to chase after my master, do it after you have killed .
The drakes did not understand him, but they could feel his intensity. If they ignored him, it would be to their own peril. Thinking this, they turned around and attacked Toshizou.
Like this, Toshizou succeeded in attracting the attention of dozens of the drakes.
He was the warrior of a Demon King army, after all. The strongest man in the Shinsengumi.
I was impressed by his skill once again, as I ran towards this Morning Star.
