The strongest swordsman was disappointed with the world's too low level and reincarnated into a

Me and Dion and Sona were on a mission to crusade the demons.

……

I'm Knights Fourth Lieutenant Sona, and she hates me. Sona seems in a pretty bad mood for such a mission with me.

Naturally, I'm not in the mood for that either.

The atmosphere on the road was, arguably, quite sinister.

"From here, off the streets"

That's what the leading Dion said. Only Dion has managed to take this place.

"Oh, okay"

"Yeah, let's go"

Me and Sona replied to Dion almost simultaneously.

"... Huh!

You didn't like that, Sona's going to stare at this one.

If they do that, there's nothing I can do.

"Well, let's go"

I didn't care about Sona, I followed Dion.

Ahead, they have demons to crusade.

For a while, as I went through the woods, I could see who the demon was.

"... that's it"

"That's..."

When the three of us are hiding behind a tree, Dion talks to me.

At the end of the line of sight, the place you opened it. There was a big organism. Is he about twice to three times my size?

Its skin is gobbling like stone and looks a lot like lizards. From its mouth were large fangs, and round eyes were asking what was going on around them.

"You're a small ground dragon..."

"Ground dragon..."

Ground dragon, it seems to be a kind of dragon. Sounds pretty tough for the first assignment.

"Anyway, let's think about the operation. Lieutenant, what do we do?

Dion asked Sona for her opinion there. The person in the best position on this occasion is her, so it must be natural.

"Right..."

Sona shows a slightly more contemplative gesture.

For once, since you are the deputy captain, will you hopefully propose a decent operation?

"Attack from behind as I draw the dragon."

"Attract...? Then it would be better for me or Slade..."

"You can't push your men into that role."

Again, there are places that seem to be deputy captains. I'm relieved.

But the role is dangerous. Doing it alone would be a little impossible.

"If it's not, I'm coming too. You two can draw more attention to him."

"... Whatever you want"

"You have no choice..."

Sona accepted my offer. Dion seemed to agree with me.

"Well, then, let's go."

On Sona's signal, I ran out all at once. Dion, hiding himself, seems to have headed behind the ground dragon.

When me and Sona leave, the Ground Dragon looks this way.

"Grrrrrr......!

He seems to be watching us, slowly throbbing.

"I'll attack from the left!

"Then I'm from the right!

Me and Sona go from left to right to the ground dragon at the same time.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

At that moment, Grounddragon opened his mouth wide.

"What!?

"This is!

And countless stones are released from it.

"Damn!

"Come on!"

Me and Sona wave blades and swords at flying stones and shoot them off.

"Grushaaaa!"

The dragon was approaching me in that gap.

I will rebuild my sword and deal with the dragon.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

The ground dragon shook up its forefoot and swung towards me.

If you take it normally, it would be a single blow.

But I have moves against power.

"Secret Sword Skill! Stream Water!"

"Grushal!?

The ground dragon's leg was deflected from orbit by my sword and fell to the ground.

"Now!

In that gap, I wave a sword at the ground dragon.

"Haaaa!

From the other side, Sona was rushing and waving her sword.

The action taken by the Grounddragon against an attack that can be showered from both sides at once is evasion.

"Grrrrr!"

The dragon retreats and our attack slashes the sky. But this is where the real attack comes from.

"So hey, oh!

"Guru!?

Dion emerged from behind the dragon and stabbed a sword in its back.

The sword was thrusting through the skin of the ground dragon, from which red blood was popping.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

"Whoa!"

Dion is shaken off by the fact that the ground dragon has ravaged into pain.

But now I've been able to hunt down the dragon.

"Grrrrr!"

"Become!"

But I'm surprised at the dragon's next move.

"Oh no! I'm gonna run away! Slade!"

"Damn!

Ground dragons were digging the ground.

I mean, it looks like he's going to dive into the ground and run away.

The speed at which the dragon dived was so great that we couldn't stand it either.

"Slade! The ground is booming! That's his signpost!

"Oh! I know!

But the Ground Dragon has left me with a clue that I don't understand.

That's the shape of the ground.

After the ground dragon passed, it was exuberant, and it was marked.

Me and Sona, we run out almost simultaneously. To hunt down the dragon.

Ground dragons flee as they cleverly sew the gaps in the trees.

"Yeah?"

So I noticed something uncomfortable.

"This is... the sound of water flow!? Not good!"

But by the time I realized it, it seemed too late.

"Gryaaaaa!"

"What!?

"Damn! It was late!"

At the end of the earth dragon was a cliff.

Grounddragon himself, he didn't know that, he's growling.

And by the fact that the ground dragon passed, the cliff collapsed.

Because of that, me, Sona and Grounddragon fall into the river down there.

"Graaaa!"

"Aah!"

"Damn!

"Slade! Deputy!

From up there, I heard Dion's sad voice, but I fell straight into the river.

"Ha!

Severe pain runs all over your body, but not if you care about that.

I'll manage to get a better attitude and see what's going on around me.

"G......"

The ground dragon had stopped moving in the water. Apparently, he doesn't like water.

This means he was able to accomplish his task of crusading.

"..."

Sona was restless.

This is more of a problem than a dragon.

We have to do something to help.

"Ku......"

But the river flows fast. Now it will be difficult to swim.

But fortunately, with the river flow, Sona is on this side. At that time, I just have to take it.

"Gugu..."

Sona's flowing over here, so I'll take that.

"Guuuuu..."

Plus, I managed to cling to a nearby tree.

With the fall of the cliff, it fell.

"Ooh!"

Somehow, I pull up Sona too.

Now it looks okay for a while.

However, you have to be prepared to flow.

Somewhere, we'll have to see it fit and go back to shore.

I left myself to the river stream for a while.

◇ ◇ ◇

I was flowing into the river for a while, but one time, Oki caught on so well that I could reach the shore.

"Ha, ha..."

In the meantime, pull up the sona, then confirm.

"Is your breath...? Good......"

He didn't seem to drink or drink water because he was breathing.

Apparently, a lot of luck overlapped with me. First of all I am unhappy that I have been in this situation, but should I say I have been lucky?

"Anyway, I'm at the limit of the boulder..."

My health was already at its limit when I was immersed in water for a long time while helping Sona. A tremendous sense of exhaustion strikes me.

I fell asleep beside Sona. Sona should be okay for now.

Later, anyway, we'll just have to hope the rescue comes.

So, my consciousness broke off.
