The Reincarnated Sage ~I Will Forge the Strongest Empire in the Demon Forest!~

Bellamus and his men began to search for the forest dragon.

By the way, the young forest dragon cub I just put to sleep is being carried by magic thread.

The thread was wrapped so it wasn't tied too tightly, yet didn't fall off.

Forest dragons are very fast, so there is a chance they are not around anymore and we may never find them.

Still, believing he was close, Vellums began to look for traces.

Nay. Are these the footprints of a dragon?

Delarosa asked him. Quickly, Bellamus went to Delarosa and saw footprints that appeared to belong to the Forest Dragon.

Forest dragon footprints are rare, so Bellamus doesn't know for sure.

I look at the child's foot and compare them.

"...... It looks like that.

The shape of the footprints were quite similar to that of the footprints on the ground .

It seemed like if I enlarged the kid's forest dragon foot, it would be exactly the same shape as the footprints on the ground .

''Alright, these must be the footprints of a forest dragon! Let's follow them anyway.

"O

They all followed the footprints and went to look for the Forest Dragon, but Vellums thought it was unlikely to be found .

If he was wandering around, looking for his child, he might still be around, but as far as the footprints were concerned, he kept running in a straight line, as if he didn't care that his child was gone.

This means that the forest dragon must not have noticed that its child was missing.

And since he's running in a straight line, he may have gone a long way.

It's possible that they noticed it on the way and turned back, so they followed the footprints and kept walking, but if they couldn't find it after walking a long distance, they were going to give up and turn back.

Bellamus and the others continued walking through the forest. Along the way, they came across monsters. There were strong monsters such as the Mithril Turtle and the Death Spider, but they were defeated with no problem.

After two hours of walking and no one else being around, Vellums is gone.

I can't help it. Let's go back.

Yeah. If we hadn't walked this far, we'd probably be on the other side of the ocean.

It's a shame, but I can't help it. ......

A......

Everyone was a little disappointed, but they decided to turn back.

As soon as we got up and started to turn around.

Ggaaaaaaah!

A demon's roar rang out from behind Bellamus and the others. The deafeningly loud voice caused all of the startled verrams to turn around at once.

What is it?

Romesa is a little frightened. She was shivering, as if she remembered being chased by a demon before.

Moooo, you scared me. What's going on?

Delarosa shows no sign of fear as she goes to find the source of the voice.

"Wait, I'll go.

Yeah, I'm coming with you.

...... then follow me.

"Minutes.

Bellamus and Delarosa go to check the identity of the voice. Not wanting to be left behind, Medero and Romesa looked at each other for a moment, then decided to follow Bellamus and his friends.

As they walked through the bushes, they came upon a scene of fighting among the demons.

They were fighting over a dark mouse and the forest dragons that Bellamus and the others were looking for.

With a total of ten forest dragons and more than thirty dark mice, the forest dragons are surrounded by them.

Although Forest Dragons are the weakest among dragons, they are only weak among dragons, but compared to ordinary demons, they have a higher strength.

However, the darkmouths that surrounded them were also troublesome demons in their own right, and due to the difference in their numbers, it seemed likely that they would be defeated. In fact, there was a forest dragon that was injured and seemed to be struggling quite badly.

''I'm going to help you.

Vellumus decides to rescue the forest dragons, and in a hurry.

"He will use the Light Arrow to strike the dark mice one by one.

The dark mice change their target to Vellumus.

They unleash a barrage of attacks. Darkmouth is a demon that can use dark magic to unleash a dark bomb spell that explodes into a mass of darkness.

Dozens of dark bullets flew in the air. As soon as he could, Bellamus quickly put up a magical shield to block the attack.

While Bellamus fends off the attack, Delarosa attacks with the Wind Slash spell.

The Darkmouth is a reasonably powerful foe, and Delarosa's Windslash cannot defeat it with a single strike.

However, she deals damage to a wide area and frightens it.

Medero follows suit and uses his own windslash. Romesa attacks with her Wind Spirit Charm, killing all the dark mice.

But there are more of them than expected and they aren't diminishing. Seeing that they are cowering and stopping their attacks, Vellumus deactivates his shield and turns to attack.

Darkmouths are dark enemies, vulnerable to light magic.

There was a magic that attacked a wide area because of its weakness in the light element, so I decided to use it.

Shining Rain.

When Bellamus said that, a mass of light rose into the air.

It shattered into pieces and rained down on the ground.

The dark mice were suffering and dying from the rain of light, while the others were not damaged at all.

I've succeeded in eradicating a large number of dark mice.

Now, go to ......

Bellamus sees the forest dragons.

Dragons are smart creatures. They seem to understand that vellums helped us, and they aren't alarmed.

'Looks like you have a wounded dragon.

There was a wounded forest dragon cowering in the middle of the pack.

Bellamus approaches the dragon.

As expected of an injured colleague, it was wary of being approached by an injured colleague and threatened him.

Bellamus approaches with his hands raised in a show of unwillingness to attack. Forest dragons are clever creatures. They see what Bellamus means and release their threats.

He then approaches the injured dragon and casts a heal spell, allowing the wounded dragon to heal completely.

Then he wonders if he should capture the dragons or not.

It would be a little awkward to put them to sleep and bring them back ....... The dragons will feel tricked, and Tame's chances of success may decrease.

We've come all this way to save them, so I guess we'll just have to give up.

And since we don't want to take the one child back to the pack, let's bring him back.

With that in mind, Bellamus returns the baby he was carrying on his magic thread to the forest dragon pack.

The forest dragons are very happy to see him, as if they thought he was dead. One of the forest dragons, who I assume is the parent, is close to the child.

Are you sending them home?　Can't we get him?

I can't help it.

I feel like it would be embarrassing to take you down here.

Yes.

Bellamus and his friends were turning to leave.

Then the forest dragons came up behind them.

...... I wonder if they want to follow us.

...... wow.

The dragons were very grateful to you for saving them and for bringing the child to them.

They wanted to return the favor and followed the verrams.

It saved me a lot of trouble ...... and I didn't know it could be tamed this way.

It wasn't the original plan, but the Forest Dragons have joined their ranks.
