Chapter 309: Gathering magic stones 4

「Ku ha ha ha ha ha! This is so fun! It’s overflowing!」

Dogoon!!

With each swing of the solid hexagonal, all-metal rod, monster heads were crushed.

King Jairu fought while coating his weapon with fighting spirit which was characteristic to the Oni Tribe.

「......Fn! Kuku......」

Buon!!

Beside him was King Gandalf brandishing a magic-power infused halberd.

「Hmph! They’re getting along well.」

Queen Fraal was in a foul mood as she watched the two kings merrily fight an Earth Dragon. It seems she’s expecting her turn in fights would decrease.

Titan and Tsubaki were covering the two, but were in a bad mood at being used by King Jairu and King Gandalf.

「Even so, isn’t it about time we get closer?」

「Well, they’re having fun, but the area is still dangerous.」

Sophia and I were at a slightly farther area, watching the two kings fight.

The ranks of incoming monsters were rising, and things would be getting too close for comfort even for the kings of their fighting style if not for our follow ups.

「For some reason, it’s like entertaining corporate higher ups.」

As we were watching the spectacle, I remembered business golfing.

Doooon!!

The Earth Dragon fell, and above it were two old men who had satisfied smiles as they hoisted their weapons. Yup, even I’m getting annoyed.

In the end, we hunted two more of those Huge Gluttony Wyrms, and their whole corpses went into my Item Box......

The dragon species that appeared were Fire Dragons and Lightning Dragons which were higher ranked among the attribute dragons, and when Ice Dragons also started appearing, we all fought to the best of our abilities.

I blocked the strong Breath attacks with my full strength magic barrier; Akane and Laeva supported with magic; Sophia and Maria maneuvered themselves with a hit and run strategy as they used their magic spears clad in fire and wind to attack and evade.

From behind, Titan fired himself like a bullet and attacked the huge 30m long Fire Dragon.

Kaede’s threads sewed the Fire Dragon onto the ground, not allowing it to fly to the sky.

The moment the light in the Fire Dragon’s eyes disappeared and its body collapsed to the ground, we all sank down to the floor.

「Haa haa haa, that was quite the high ranking dragon.」

「......yes, I suppose this is a good place to stop for now.」

Sophia and I judged that our dungeon diving should only be to this point.

「Muu, as expected, with enemies of this class, you can’t have burdens.」

「I can use magic so I’m better, but Jairu is solely focused on hand-to-hand combat.」

King Jairu and King Gandalf had no objections to turning back here.

Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san were looking quite pleased with obtaining materials from the Fire Dragon, but they couldn’t hide the exhaustion from their face.

Our objective of gathering magic stones was achieved, so we’re going out of the dungeon.

Now that we’re walking, I’m a bit afraid of the two kings who were approaching with smiles on their faces.

Footnotes:

1. This Ground Dragon (地竜) can also be read as Earth Dragon, but the usual spelling that Author uses is アースドラゴン, so I’ll use “ground” for distinction.
