Episode 3: After Sandworm

The sandworm travels underground, but it is not digging by force, but by skill it is pushing the dirt back to create a path.

Therefore, no vibration occurs during excavation. All you can feel from the ground is the sound of the sandworm crawling.

- I'm coming.

Sylvia's words jumped upwards as a signal.

Shortly after, two sandworms jump out of the ground.

Looks like you guys are looking so good on me.

Sandworms living in the ground have low eyesight. Instead, my ability to sense magic power is evolving, and I can see what's happening on the ground while I'm in the ground.

Because of its body, the sandworm prefers highly magical creatures.

With all my human magic, I could only look like the best bait for a sandworm. She jumped upward and jumped up towards me, opening her big mouth with her fangs growing.

Hey!

"I'll take care of one."

I'm not used to fighting sandworms either.

"No, who's going to take it?"

As Zergen says, our party has no shields.

But if you just want to stop your legs, you don't necessarily need to take them.

"[Stone Bullet (Stone Barrett)]"

Fly magically created stone bullets towards the sandworm.

The size of the stone bullet is smaller than the size of a fist, which is unbearable considering the size of a sand worm. However, we increased the strength when generating it, and even the sand worms could not help but stop their steps.

And the number of bullets fired is 300.

"Look, it's stopped."

If we keep shooting, we can stop the sandworm.

Alright, I'll take care of it.

Zergen's rattan emits a strong light.

Skill [Taunt].

A skill given to a shield that can direct the target's consciousness toward itself. A skill-inflicted sandworm heads toward Zergen.

Shoots stone rounds at the remaining sandworms.

The sandworm grabbed by the stone bullet.

“I'm sorry. This is how we do it. I don't think it's that damaging, but please slash it."

Aira's sword slashes the Sandworm's body.

He's bleeding a lot, but he's still alive.

"Shit, that's tough."

She ran toward the tail with her sword pierced into the sandworm's body.

Blood drained from the cutaway, and by the time it reached the end of its tail, it was completely out of breath.

Thank you very much.

I'm not doing anything serious at all.

Aira's breath was not disturbed at all as she waved her sword and flying the blood that was attached to it.

"... you're strong."

Zergen had already crushed the Sandworm.

However, the second crusade was greatly disturbed by whether the body was burdened.

"I'm proud to be quite strong. That's why I don't have a problem sightseeing in places like this.”

Apparently, that's what it looks like.

Me and Aira were the only ones to show their strength, but since we're at the same party, you should have expected at least as much power from the others.

They must have been convinced by their prowess.

I can't tell you what we're asking for, but we're looking into what we're asking for.

Something?

"You've been hunting here a long time, haven't you?"

“I see. Some of us are fools, but for us, it's an important role that we took over from our parents.”

Maybe it was more accurate to call me a hunter than an adventurer.

"... the number of sandworms has grown a few months ago."

Has it increased?

“That's right, the sandworms are small, so even if you run into them, it's about five a month.”

That's why defending the city was the original purpose.

"It's rare for three people to come out in one day."

Recently, I was having trouble using the know-how I had developed.

However, the strength of the sandworm itself hasn't changed, so if we calm down, we can deal with situations like today. Even as I retreated today, I intended to lead to the next crusade.

"What bothers me is that there are monsters other than sandworms here." And only the sandworms can tell that the number has increased. "

"... I understand the situation."

For some reason, only the number of sandworms is increasing. Maybe the other monsters were increasing their numbers just because they didn't realize it.

However, the only thing that mattered in the current situation was that [the number of monsters was increasing].

"Thank you. You're going back to the city."

"Yes, it is."

It looks like there aren't any other sandworms nearby, so you can take them home if you need them.

Is that okay?

I'm relinquishing ownership of the Sandworm that I defeated with Aira.

If we dismantle it and bring it back, it will sell, but we have to go further than spend time doing that.

You just have to convince me that you owe me one.

"... let's borrow it."

I handed over the sandworms, broke up with the Zergens, and headed for the volcano.

All I cared about on the way was the information I got from Zergen.

Sylvia, what do you think?

Only she knew that the movement of the sandworms in the ground was in her hands. We have confirmed that there are no other sandworms nearby.

You don't feel anything from underground, do you?

"Yes, it is."

"I can't sense anything."

I was able to sense the presence of other monsters, but it didn't seem like something unusual.

How's Melissa?

"Unfortunately, I don't feel anything."

I can't feel that kind of reaction either, can I?

Melissa, who could sense magic power, and Iris, who knew a lot about magic, couldn't find anything.

"... then, does the increase in sandworms have anything to do with the Fire Dragon?"

"It would be premature to decide that." There's no doubt that something is happening. ”

That's right.

I'll regret it later.

I gave the Sandworm's body to help the adventurers. However, the sandworms we defeated had a clue, and if we dismantled and investigated what the adventurers didn't notice, we might have noticed.

If it had been offered as a possibility from the beginning, it could have been done in time.
