At that moment, Bash was on an ice wall of a mountain. He didn’t know its name. But he had once heard a rumor that there was a tall mountain in the far north. He had also heard that a dragon lived in that mountain. So he thought it must be the mountain he was climbing.
Actually, he didn’t even care. Sequence had informed him that there was a dragon’s nest in that mountain. And Bash had business to attend to in that place. Specifically, with the survivors of the forces that had gone to attack the nest.
“It would be great if at least three have survived!”
“Right!”
There was a blizzard all around him. Nothing could be seen, and ice hailstones constantly struck him. Zell wasn’t even flying around but hiding within Bash’s chest. Just because maybe it was just a bit cold.
They couldn’t see what was beneath them, but if they were to fall, they would land headfirst in an instant. Zell would be there too, and although it probably wouldn’t kill Bash, the pain he would feel wouldn’t be light.
Bash dug his fingers into the smooth ice wall and climbed. Perhaps due to the low temperatures, the ice wall didn’t crack. It was a smooth ascent.
“But I have to admit, I never thought you would get such a good response!”
“That’s true!”
The encounter with Sequence was perfect. At first, the general, like any Demon, looked at him with suspicion, but as soon as he showed Nazar’s letter, his attitude changed, and he immediately offered his daughter. In fact, he even offered to give the other demon women under his daughter’s command.
“I thought he would say something like, ‘If you want my daughter, go kill the dragon!’”
“I wouldn’t have minded, as long as he told me where the nest is.”
“That’s the spirit, Mister! I expected nothing less! I missed your performance in the Lemium Highlands! Damn, I wish I had seen it! I wish I had seen you tear that dragon apart and then throw its body around! Although, knowing you, Mister, I’m sure you finished it off in one blow!”
“No… It was actually a fight to the death. You could have died. I was knocked out as soon as the dragon appeared.”
Bash wasn’t accustomed to sharing anecdotes about himself. When an orc boasted, it was because he had to include a story about the woman he r̲a̲pe̲d as dessert. Fifty points for a fight anecdote and fifty points for a woman rape anecdote. The total score for both was 100 points. That’s how the scoring worked. That was an Orc bragging. Bash’s story could only earn him 50 points no matter how hard he tried.
But not when it came to this battle against the dragon. An orc who faced a dragon and defeated it. It was an anecdote about a Dragon Slayer. Even though he was an Orc, the score for the story would be so high that even if the woman part was completely omitted, it would still earn him 100 points.
After all, in the history of the Vastonia continent, the number of people who had killed dragons could be counted on one hand. More than half of those dragon slayers were fairy tales. Even the other half of the stories were difficult to determine if they really happened or not. But dragons were real, and there were warriors on the battlefield with weapons made from dragon bones. So, although they all had their doubts, deep down, they believed it. There were warriors who could defeat dragons. And Bash did just that. He was a legend.
That’s why it was exceptional.
“They knocked you out!? They knocked out the great Mister Bash!?”
“I could go into details, but it’s a bit cold here.”
“Right! I’d love for you to tell me in a warmer place, with some drinks if possible! Oh, I just came up with a great idea! I’m going to tell that story to all the demon women we come across! They are in trouble right now because of the dragon threat! If I tell them the story of how you killed one, they’ll instantly fall in love with you!”
“In that case, I’m fond of the idea of killing dragons.”
“Wow, a new legend is emerging!”
They already had Sequence’s permission. Demons were a race with strict hierarchical relationships. If ordered by a high-ranking noble demon, they would have to become wives of an orc or whatever it may be. Just as Orcs were absolutely obedient to the orders of the Orc King.
But it was also true that Bash wanted to be sure. Sequence said he could have one of his daughters and the women from the attack force for himself, but it was possible that they had already been annihilated. In such a situation, at least one or two of the ugliest ones would be left behind, but that was not certain. After all, they were dealing with dragons.
So he would like to proceed with the same method as before. That is, the conventional method of “make her fall in love with you and make her your wife.” Although the good thing now was that the method was clearer. Defeat the dragon and tell it to the woman. It was very easy to understand. If he couldn’t even kill the dragon, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he could also give up trying to court demon women. For Bash, they were a stronger enemy than the dragon.
“Hmm…”
With that thought in mind, Bash found a hole. In the middle of the ice wall, there was a hole large enough for a person to pass through. It was an unnatural hole. There was no doubt that it was artificial.
“Over here…”
This hole was a direct path to the dragon’s lair, created by the demon attack team. He had heard that the extermination team planned to enter through here and attack the dragon’s lair.
