Chapter 29: Existence full of appetite

 

As a result of falling from the first floor, Liza was walking along a passage on the second floor. There were professors behind.

“Everyone, are you okay?”

Half of the professors were dragging their feet. They were physically elite, but heavy and few people were able to fly in the sky.

It seems that each person chose passive magical protection at the sudden fall, but they fell from a high place. No matter how hard the scale is and how strong it is against hitting, it does not mean that it is strong against the impact of falling.

Besides, the rain of debris was too heavy.

Liza also used the magic of creating atmospheric cushions to support them, but some still suffered modest damage.

…I think that demons are sturdy because there is no special situation that endangers their lives.

Liza stops her feet while whispering in her heart.

“Is it better to rest here?”

When she said that, Dante, who was walking behind, came to the side and shook his head. He also had abrasions with him, but they were relatively minor.

“No, no, don’t worry about it. We don’t mind this much. In the first place, the demon King’s magic “Wind Cushion” killed the impact, but it is this degree of fall that some injuries came out.”

“I don’t have to worry about that. Well, but then I’ll go as it is, but… is it okay for Salamado not to rest?”

Liza turns around and sees Salamado walking ahead of her. There is no scratch on her body.

“I’m totally fine. My landing posture was in time, and the silver wolfs had a strong skeleton against falling.”

Only Liza and Salamado were not injured in this fall. That’s why Salamado leads the way, making a formation where she moves while supporting the injured in the back.

Is it the result of being active and dive in the dungeon of the Demon King? I think it was good that there were two people who were intact.

“So, Liza. After that, you can bring the injured professors to the first floor and then search for Chrono, right?”

“Yeah, yeah. Well, Chrono isn’t around here, but Sophia-chan could fly in the sky. I’m not worried about that athletic ability, even if he falls to the bottom, he’ll be fine.”

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look for me. However, it is also a problem to carry an injured person, and after returning the professors to the castle, they dive again.

The first floor was largely collapsed, but there are several routes that can be taken to the exit, and I think you should go there.

A schedule was decided, and it was working until now.

“Well, if They’re on the 3rd floor, we can get back in a few minutes. Let’s go quickly.”

Liza tried to move as planned. That was the moment that…

“–Wow ah, ah, ah!”

The professors who were supposed to be walking behind them were blown away.

“What!?”

In a hurry, Liza and Yukino turned to the direction where the ones who were blown-off were. Then, there,

“–!”

A huge lizard with a tree-like hull crawled and devoured the floor and walls. The head had blood on it, and perhaps the professors were hit by the lizard.

“This one is…”

Liza was startled by a monster she had never seen, Yukino, who was next to her, murmured with a cold sweat.

“This is the glutton Lizard”

“Eh, but the size is totally different from the report?”

At most, it would have been about one meter, but clearly, it was over ten meters. At the same time, Liza remembered the information in the material.

“The ecological type grows by eating the legacy and the work of the demon King… I mean, it grew by eating this dungeon…”

“Maybe, I didn’t think it would be such a big thing.”

At any rate, she couldn’t be amazed at the size forever. It appeared and they became the target and were attacked immediately.

The Glutton lizard’s eyes were clearly facing their way, with its sharp fangs so sharp that they didn’t seem to be made of trees.

“Fight! Dante, get ready!”

“Great-Wolf, come! “Summon dungeon wolf”!!”

To counterattack, Dante summoned a wolf from the ground. Not only him, but other professors simultaneously created wolves. Then, large wolves gathered and attacked the glutton lizard all at once. However, …

“Ga…!”

The glutton Lizard slammed its body against the wall and threw the wolves down. Then he swallowed the wolfs that had fallen to the ground with his mouth.

“This is not a lizard anymore… It’s a dragon.”

Looking at the scene, Lisa murmured. This was bad. Even the professor’s summoned beasts were too weak to fight the swallowing Legacy.

The professors here didn’t know if they could win even if they challenged it with full equipment, more than half of them were injured.

“I’m not a type of demon with strong fighting abilities. It is a little hard to resolve the situation if strength is not used…”

However, she couldn’t just stay doubting. There was only one thing to do.

“For the time being, everyone will withdraw giving priority to the door leading to the castle! If you can move, pull someone who can’t move and run!”

“Ryo, we understand!”

The moving professors run with all the fallen people at once.

“Demon King, you too!”

Dante told Liza who didn’t run. She stopped her gaze at the Glutton Lizard.

“Demon King!?”

“Oh, I have to be a strong supporter, and I’m your boss, and I have to take responsibility for making the situation so far.”

“but……!”

“Yes, run if you have the time to talk to me. I can run after you. The faster Dante and the others get away, the faster I can leave!”

“…Okay, thanks. Thank you, Demon King!”

Saying that she saw Dante’s running figure from the side,

“Now, I’ll have to do my best, and then I have to run away. Come on, sword “Summon Blade””

Liza created a sword from the floor and began swinging.

Yukino stood next to her.
“Why didn’t you go with them, Salamado?”

“I will also help you. It will be less dangerous… It may be because he absorbed my physical strength. It’s natural for me to do it.”

Her eyes were as sharp as a carnivore.

“Salamado, can you win?”

“I can’t do that. What about Liza?”

“Yeah, I can’t win a dragon alone. No one can win this thing alone in the first place…but I think we can survive by earning time.”

“Yes, then I will do that and go up with Liza.”

“Hah, that’s right. So, do your best…?”

And the demon King and the silver wolf confront the dragon.

At the same time as we go up to the third floor,

-Dodon!

I heard a heavy sound that resonated in my stomach.

“Oh, Chrono san. I heard a terrible sound. It’s like the sound of a big thing crashing into the ground.”

“Oh… somehow, the sound reminds me of the countryside, it makes me feel weird.”

“What? Does this sound in the country?”

“Oh, when wild animals hit your house, you hear a sound like this.”

If it’s a wooden house, it will be destroyed in one shot, so everyone remembers to strengthen or to devise it in various ways.

“Ah, ah … there are a lot of lively and big animals …”

“I don’t know if they are lively or just annoying…. Anyway, I don’t want to stay in a place where these sounds are heard, and do you want to speed up a little?”

“Oh, yes. Let’s go in a hurry.”

Then our footsteps get faster.
