Monster no Goshujin-sama

eighteen

After a short and fierce battle, we were the only ones left on the spot.

"Your husband!

Lily screamed and turned her gaze to this one.

His eyes are asking him what to do.

"... Huh! We're going after him!"

The decision was quick.

It would not be safe here if we waited for the other Expedition members and the Kazus to come back.

But in the meantime, evil dragons may reach the 'cornerstone of the world'.

Mr. Nakatsuki does have strong powers, but unfortunately, if he doesn't even possess the 'cornerstone of the world', he doesn't have what would be a 'compass', as I do.

In case you lose sight of the evil dragon, that's where it ends.

A liberated evil dragon would, yup, destroy the 'cornerstone of the world'.

It was not a situation that could be left to manpower.

"Okay!

Everyone who heard the instructions reacted quickly.

Lily made a huge jump, turning that hand into a tentacle to get it to a high ceiling hole.

"Mr. Silan!

"Copy that!

A similarly leaping silane accordingly raises its tentacles to the top instead of the rope.

While doing so, Berta, who had put me on board, jumped against the wall, kicking the wall and jumping even higher, entangling the tentacles stretched from her waist at the end of a hole in the ceiling.

It was at the same time that Berta crawled out of the hole in the ceiling and Lily was lifted to Silan.

Out in the hallway upstairs.

"Where have you been...?

In my arms, I looked around the hallway and gave Robbie a murderous voice.

Shinto Jingu is an enemy who destroyed the inside, and unlike when he was dealing with Okazaki, he has no reason to be patient.

Your emotions seem daunting.

Nevertheless, I'm not going to pop up, and I guess the restraint is working enough around you being my escort.

And I stroked his head, and then opened my mouth.

"You're over there."

Relying on the feeling of connecting with the other world, I grasped the position of Nakatsuki and Shiji Jingu.

However, even if it wasn't, which way it went was to find out as soon as you saw the slightest trace of destruction left.

Apparently he's traveling in a fierce battle.

Just following the trail of destruction would be easy to track.

"Go."

You thought the same thing, Berta tried to run out.

"Wait a minute, please"

But I stopped her.

"What?"

"Maybe we can get ahead of ourselves"

Shinto Jingu, transformed into an evil dragon, is on his way to his destination.

But that's not the same as being able to use the shortest route.

The last door is on this floor.

There has been a little time since earlier, and little by little, the erosion of different worlds in the "Misty Temporary Inn" is progressing.

It was not impossible to go the shortest route to the deepest.

If there's a problem, it's that there's no expedition that's ever left the battle to you, but there's no choice but to separate it from the risk.

"Follow the path I command you to follow."

"Okay. Let's go."

Berta tried to run out accordingly, that was when.

"Wait!

We were summoned.

There was someone coming up from downstairs.

I spoke to him as he rushed over here.

"Mr. Shibata. That was fast."

"I've left it to others downstairs"

Mr. Tsuta, who appeared, made him laugh more.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm your escort. The leader told me to do that. We'll do it right. Uh."

I am not lost in my utterance.

Nakatsuki's immense influence over the members of the expedition was felt in response.

If I recall standing behavior that could only be described as an earlier hero, I wondered if that would be impossible too.

The members who remain in the expedition are roughly all those who are intoxicated by him.

In that sense, even though he had tremendous trust, Iino and Shimazu might have been more calm for it.

The grin pulled right in, and Mr. Hada-san inquired with a serious face.

"What happened to the leader?"

"We went after the Shrine Superintendent. We're going to take a different route ahead of us."

"... right"

Mr. Tsuda showed him how to think for a moment.

"Then I guess I'd better go to you guys"

"I'd appreciate it if you could accompany me."

I was a little surprised because I thought I would go to Nakatsuki's.

Nevertheless, as a force of war, I appreciate the help of two first-class products.

"Okay, that's settled."

"If that's the case, let's hurry"

In addition to Mr. Kuda, we began to move around the third kingdom.

Unlike the first and second otherworlds, which were outdoors, the third otherworlds of facades such as the interior of the ancient castle, but unchanged, the 'guardian giant' existed.

I don't have time to be dealing with them, so if I encountered them, I gave them instructions to kick them and move on.

Come on, apparently this third infidelity has a small number of 'guardian giants'.

Even though we are choosing the least frequent route we encounter by obtaining perimeter information, it has never been so infrequent.

Mr. Tsuda took on the avant-garde, and I couldn't help but do the occasional battle.

His ability is' Multiple Beings'.

The maximum number of intrinsic abilities to increase their own existence is five.

That's all the more presence with Warrior equivalent combat capability.

Lily and Silan were able to deal with enough of what I couldn't deal with.

I concentrated on grasping the third kingdom with the power of "Misty Inn".

As a result, the third otherworlds found seemed to be substitutes to be called even Sky Castle.

There is nothing around...... a huge castle floating in the sky with not even a single surface.

Sounds like a flickering disc to me as far as the exterior is concerned, but it's too large, so it's also big enough vertically.

Perhaps the area alone is about the same as Teito, the largest city in this world.

With all that area, the castle itself extends to a total of thirty tiers.

We are in the sixteenth hierarchy.

Overall, it hits the middle floor and further has something to aim for in its center.

Apparently, Shimiya is headed steadily to the center, despite a heavy battle with Nakatsuki-san...

"What's up, Takahiro?"

Robbia, clinging to Berta's back with me, raised her voice.

"... no. I was wondering if Nakatsuki-san was okay."

"Mm-hmm. That shrine host, he wasn't halfway there."

Even as he seeped something dark into his voice color, calmly Robbia credited his enemies.

I was of the same opinion.

That's why I had something to tell you.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kuda. I left Nakatsuki-san alone."

"Hmm?"

He turned his eyes round when he spoke to Mr. Kuda, who remained near me, only after his abilities had increased.

"Oh, you cared? Ha. Says it's okay."

"But the Shrine Superintendent was not muddled. I think Nakatsuki-san decided to squeeze out more than she could."

I don't want to upset you, but we should share the situation.

That's what I thought, but Mr. Kuda's reaction was a pleasant one.

"But there's no way that leader's gonna lose."

"But you haven't seen that evil dragon, have you?

"Oh. But what happened to that?

What returned was an invincible grin.

"I can tell you. You can't lose the leader."

"... no, so"

"You can't lose. There's no way. You're the one who doesn't know Kojiro Nakazaki."

Besides my thoughts, I was told in strong words.

When I spoke, Mr. Tsuda laughed bitterly.

"Well, I know how you feel. But it's no use worrying about him."

It was a tone of certainty.

Of course, I knew that he still had a great deal of trust in Mr. Nakatsumi.

Because I had a chance to talk to you later when I entered this other world.

- I knew the leader was special. I don't know what he is, he's not.

- The world you live in is different.

- Whatever it is, I'm following him. That's what I'm deciding.

That's how he talked.

Nevertheless, the situation is not the same as before.

Nakatsuki-san is alone in this dangerous foreign world, fighting the same two names, Shinto Jingu.

Yet Mr. Tsuta is not worried about the shards either.

I didn't think I cared about him, I was sure I didn't have to worry about him.

I thought there was charisma, but so far, it was just unexpected.

"I've been amazing since I was in the original world... did you say"

"Oh."

Proudly, Mr. Tsuta replied.

"That was amazing. There's nothing I can't do. I wonder if it was because of him that the other guys got caught up in the transition to this world... so much so that some of them said what. Of course, half a joke."

"Involved?

"Oh. Oh well. Has Mashima ever touched on anything like that? Even so, whether it's a book, a movie, a comic book or an anime, you've seen it about once. Talk about legendary braves showing up in different worlds and saving the world. In that case, often the main character has a special qualification. It's common."

"Ha..."

If you ask me, I might have seen it.

When it comes to commonplace, is it commonplace?

If I were Kanahiko, I might have a different opinion because I am more familiar with the recent epidemic.

In colony times, I also think I heard about that hand when Cheat talked about this, but I didn't remember it very well.

Most of all, it's a reality in front of us.

Even Mr. Tsuda would know about that.

Still, Nakatsuki-san is so special that some people can even joke about such a tale.

If I recall the sight I have seen so far, there was nodding.

"You trust me, don't you? After all, since I was in school?

Asked, Mr. Kuda shook his head beside him.

"Exactly, not as good as it is now. I even felt the distance... he's such a character that I guess I was just feeling this one on my own. After the transfer, I'm an expedition executive, too. At some point, I stopped feeling the distance."

This is a somewhat unexpected opinion, as Mr. Takita looks like a casual type.

No. Does that mean Nakatsuki-san was isolated enough to even feel the distance like that?

Leader of the expedition.

Of transcendents, transcendents.

Perhaps it is his greatest fortune to have him in his company like that, beyond the worst possible situation of the survival of the world.

But I can't rely on it.

It should have made sense to be prepared for whatever it was.

That's why I'm moving.

"... you're in good faith"

The operation is nearing completion.

We have reached our destination.

What was at the destination was a large bowl-shaped space.

There were four crystalline stones floating in the space, as well as humans, that were slowly rotating around the center of the rind bowl.

"Whatever it is, there are signs of magic,"

"Looks like that stone is floating 'Floating Castle'"

I answered Mr. Kuda's question with the knowledge I had gained from the unfolding Misty Inn.

"Is it dangerous?"

"The defense system seems to be working, but if you don't do anything, you'll be fine"

"Ok. So, let's get ahead of ourselves"

From the entrance and exit on all sides, we began to descend a long staircase stretching towards the centre.

In the centre of the rind-bowl-shaped space was a small stone temple.

Reach the entrance to the temple.

Lily opened her mouth with her legs closed.

"This is where it's meant to be."

"Oh. Right."

It is a 'cornerstone of the world' storage site with the power to maintain and manage the world.

This time it was necessary to cross the realm because of a forceful break-in in the 'Misty Temple', but with proper and regular means, they would transfer inside this temple.

"... Has Nakatsuki-san and Shinto Jingu come yet?"

I snapped small.

"That was a long shot."

The next moment, an evil dragon jumped in and out of a different entrance than we had come in.

As soon as possible, the signs of immense magic blow through the vast space.

But right after that, the light shined behind me.

"Let him go!

"Gah, aah... ugh!?

A blade of light swung down from the rear slammed the evil dragon's back down.

The young man, the leader of the expedition, came with us.

How powerful was the light sword that extended and swung down the blade?

An evil dragon giant, who is supposed to have vicious powers, is slapped on the soaked floor.

As the ground sounded, there was a scream.

"... wow"

I raised my voice unexpectedly.

The evil dragon that appeared was full of creativity.

Dragon scales, which are supposed to be extremely sturdy, have been burned and peeled off in various parts of the body.

My right arm was dropped off my shoulder and my tail was missing a tip.

An earlier blow had also made one wing half the size, and flight would no longer be possible with that.

You also ate a blow of hate in the face, and the right half was damaged.

Mr. Nakatsuki is not seriously injured.

They didn't eat the evil dragon's exhale, fangs or nails properly, as the gear was a little flaky.

Jumping into this space and showering a luxurious knife to land is just as prestigious.

It was surprising that the awesomeness of the evil dragon was such a one-sided result only to have seen and known it in front of me.

I guess that means Mr. Kuda was right.

However, the evil dragon had not yet given up.

"Guaaaa!"

Ignoring the state of full-blown creativity, he immediately kicked the ground.

Into the temple in the middle of this space - they come to us.

But I predicted those things.

Give instructions.

"Shoot!"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Lily threw a swinging spear.

At the same time, Lily and Silan deploy their magic formations.

What was cast on the thrown black spear was the magic of the wind.

Lily is only dedicated to increasing the power of the throw, and Silan controls the rampant trajectory.

I heard a tall noise with Kim.

The next moment, the evil dragon's neck lifted half.

A little concentration on the tip of the spear. And the combined moves of the two forces that could be done alone with the metastasizer turned a single spear into a bullet of power to be afraid of.

That wasn't all.

All right, I'm coming, too.

That's what I said, Mr. Tsuta.

Increased to three, he developed the magic he was preparing at the same time.

The Great Magic of the Fourth Staircase.

Because I had predicted the arrival of the evil dragon beforehand, a well-prepared triple flame magic burns down the dragon's body to the point of being incapable of combat.

A servant evil dragon also lost momentum in this, and was shot down with a ground sound.

"Okay, I won"

Confirming the appearance of the fallen evil dragon, Mr. Kuda held his fist for a long time.

I stroked my chest down, too.

I can't move properly anymore with that.

He would also be able to return enough where he was forced to move and hit me.

Tracking operations were successfully completed.

All you have to do is figure out what to do with this evil dragon, but for once, it was something you could do to catch him alive, and you should leave the decision to Nakahiro.

That's what I thought, it was then.

"Gaaaa, aaa......"

The seeping dead squeal of blood reached my ear.

The evil dragon didn't give up, suffering from an unrepeatable wound.

Rather, perhaps we should say that such features are no longer available.

When I gave him the roar of a rash, he pushed his collapsing body in an impossible motion and opened his mouth.

The magic that accumulates in the back of its throat is withered.

It was like half a life.

Therefore, there was no alarm here.

It can be avoided where they spit out the magic runoff, and Lily and Silan will be able to prevent it.

One second later, Nakatsuki-san beats him with a light sword.

That was supposed to be the end.

So there's only one computational difference.

Too much scratched evil dragons were already clueless about anything.

If I were sane, I would never have done such a stupid thing.

"Huh......!?

The magic runoff was thrown up facing the ceiling.

I don't think I would do that.

In fact, there could not have been any point in an attack that scattered destruction in a completely cod direction.

If it were meant to be.

But the attack accidentally struck out crystals drifting through space.

Worst coincidence, at the completion of the operation.

If you don't even touch it, the crystals that are floating this castle are not dangerous.

Conversely, what happens if you attack something so important or something?

"Shit......!?

Total fury at the signs that the provided defense mechanism will be activated.

Whereas previous traps have been for the sole purpose of 'eliminating the unqualified', this is for 'wiping out those who harm the other world'.

The killing power is incomparable.

So far I have pre-disarmed all the traps, but I have not interfered with the mechanism that just wasn't supposed to activate.

My interference makes it impossible to disarm it in this aggressive time.

"Your husband!

"Takahiro!

"Takahiro!"

They scream desperately as they take the defense of their thoughts, trying to protect me at least.

And so everything flipped.
