108 Episode 106: Dragon's Nest (1/2)

”Well, with.”

I settled with Goz and the Onigashima trio, and slowly walked through the woods with the hostaged Claire.

Really slowly, like walking around the neighborhood. Looking at me, Claire looked suspicious.

By the way, the hand that held Clair's hair was long ago.

Demonstration It was part of Goz and Klimt's violent behaviour, such as grabbing his hair and forcing him to stand or walk. If it does, the word ”kill if pursued” is born.

There is no need to continue the play because they are not already there. Of course, we didn't bother to explain that, so Claire would have been hostile and vigilant against me.

Aside from that, why I'm staying in the forest without returning to Ishka, this was to eliminate one of my concerns.

Elven sages Earlier, he described the dragon as follows:

The true dragon has no egg time. A fantasy disaster born with blood when the world's conditions are met. That it is a dragon.

If this word is correct, the forest of Titis, where Hydra appeared, is now in a condition that allows the dragon species to appear in a progressive form.

In other words, simply defeating Hydra will not help, and the possibility of the emergence of second and third dragon species.

Of course, there is a possibility that no new dragon species will be born, but as long as you do not know the details of the appearance conditions, everything can not be speculated.

So I decided to make sure.

This is why Hydra, who pretends to be dead, was left behind.

Jinbo said why he found out that Hydra was not dead, because when he dropped all eight heads of Hydra the little soul came in. Whether you're a king of flies, a king of snakes, or anyway, the moment you kill, you'll see so much soul coming in.

The soul of Hydra, the fantasy seed, cannot be less than them. Therefore, I was convinced that Hydra was not dead yet.

At first, I thought that Goz and others would try to stab Hydra at the end, but pretending to be dead means that the consciousness that ”I do not want to die” is working in Hydra. And it can be guessed that there is intelligence that can detect the difference in ability.

If the threat of me disappeared right before my eyes, Hydra would have fled to the nest and waited for recovery. If you add it after that, you may understand the appearance conditions of the dragon species. At least you could find that clue-I thought so.

There is no problem if this idea is irrelevant. At that time, all I had to do was stab the Hydra again.

And things start to work as I expected.

”I see, did you really hide the last neck inside your torso?”

I was small and alone, following Hydra at the terrible speed north of the Titis Forest.

The ninth neck emerged from the torso, which had lost its eight necks and eight tails and became a chunk of meat. Perhaps this neck is the body of Hydra.

This is because his neck, which breached his body and appeared, cut himself off the part that was connected to the torso and started moving alone.

The figure of twisting and creeping on the ground was a giant snake itself, and the sluggishness that had previously been traveling while melting the ground with poison was not found anywhere.

The sky ”Oh, that ... don't you?”

If you follow the Hydra carefully so that you don't notice it, you'll hear a panic from a very close place—specifically, near your chest.

Looking down, there was a client and eyes filling the face with embarrassment and shame.

”Shut up. I'll bite my tongue.”

”Yes, yes, but I think this position has some problems ...!”

Apparently, Claire is in a state of holding me-a so-called princess who cares about this position.

Fatigue Well, it'll be restless to hold on to someone who was seriously slashing until a while ago. I know it, but I don't think my current client can follow me, and I don't know what to do when I'm on my back. Of course, leaving it somewhere is out of the question.

With that in mind, it's best to hold and carry like this. In this state, even if the client attacks me, I can respond immediately.

”Be patient”

Speaking in a heartless manner, Claire looked down as she had imagined.

While continuing such conversations, I continue to move in the woods.

Glider Hydra is headed north, in the deeper region, and further down is the deepest part of Titis. On the way, as I passed through a sea of venom, I thought it would be troublesome to dive into it, but Hydra passed over the venom as if it were.

Whether the fight with me was so painful, the appearance of escaping at a glance was desperate, and when I saw it, I was driven by strange guilt. For some reason, I remembered running back to my mother's home while weeping as a child.

――After a while. We have finally set foot in the depths of Titis.

It turns out that the air is clearly different. The air quality has really changed, not in a figurative sense.
