Chapter 48 - The Summit

"Orobas should be here, right?"

"Yes, he's supposed to be here!"

After a few hours of flying, we arrived at the top.

There was a large crater at the top, and I guessed that the Crater Rock Dragon was inside this crater.

From the top of the crater, we couldn't see the Crater Rock Dragon, but for now, our priority was to find Orobas.

"Hey, Crocell. I want to ask you a favor."

"What? What is it?"

Valak was talking to Crocell.

"I want you to fly over and make sure there are no other people on the way home. We are going to pick up Orobas afterward, so you can do that while we are gone."

"I'd like to stay with Master Norman, too."

"Crocell, please. It's better for Norman."

"Well, that's true."

It would certainly be more efficient to have Crocell check for people while they searched for Orobas.

"If Master Norman insists, I will do so."

Reluctantly, Crocell agreed and flew into the sky to do some scouting.

"Phew, we're finally alone."

Valak muttered to herself.

Hmm? The atmosphere seemed to have changed somehow.

"So, where is Orobas?"

As far as he could see, Orobas was nowhere to be seen.

But I guess Valak knows where Orobas is.

"Orobas is not here."

"Huh?"

"Because that's what I came here to do to you."

She pushed me with her hand.

I stumbled backward, my feet slipping, and before I knew it, I was already falling into the crater.

Yes, at the end of the crater, there is a Crater Rock Dragon.

"For the sake of Valak, Norman must die."

Valak looked down at me with a smile.

The smile was a very demonic one, with the corners of her mouth lifted.
