In the middle of the sulfurous mountain range, there is a gigantic cave and a gigantic beast seems to be taking a nap.
Elegant, beautiful, gigantic, fierce. These contradictory words perfectly blended together in front of this giant beast that was as big as a small mountain. Its scales that were as sharp as blades reflected the flowing light of the sun, and its shining silver claws were as big as flagpoles.
Its existence itself is the embodiment of majesty. Its breath can bring about a shocking storm and lightning. Under the gaze of those demonic dragon eyes, life will feel its end.
At this moment, as the king, it squints its eyes as though it is staring at something. Then, it suddenly lets out a shocking roar.
"Aooo aooo!"
Following the thunderous roar of the gigantic beast, the entire mountain range shakes. Countless magical beasts flee upon hearing the roar. The ferocious Rotting Demon Vultures scatter in all directions like frightened sparrows.
When the true master of this mountain range, the top of the food chain, Ancient Red Dragon Ein Mezus, roars in anger, there is no life that wouldn't feel fear.
Even if the content of the roar makes one speechless …
"Ahhhhh, to think that you would have such a day. What a joke."
The gigantic beast actually hugs its stomach and rolls on the ground. The entire cave starts to shake violently as though it could collapse at any moment.
"Shut up, Little Red!"
Yes, the one in front of her is me, Lich Roland Mist. But at this moment, my condition isn't too good …
"… Isn't this our wisest Lord Roland? What happened to your body? Why is there only a head left? "
In front of the gigantic beast, there is a skull that isn't even the size of a scale. Yep, that's me.
"Hmph." I really don't want to bother with her, but the Manticore on the side is reporting its harvest to its master.
"Awoo, awoo." The Manticore's weird voice is mixed with dragon language. I can't really understand it, but Ein Mezus is getting more and more interested.
"Oh oh, you said that he was first fought over by a group of vultures, then the vultures were shot down by the Kobolds, then the Kobolds were robbed by the Griffins. Finally, after seeing everything, you guys robbed the Griffins and found him familiar, so you gave him to me to enjoy?"
"Roland, what an intense adventure. I will share it with Adam and the others. "
I ignored this stupid dragon and maintained my silence.
Yes, the skull of a Lich isn't easy to digest. Just like that, I, who was left with only a skull, enjoyed the food chain of the Sulfur Mountain Range. I was sent up level by level and finally, I reached the top of the food chain, Ein Mezus.
Of course, I have ways to use my mana to recover it directly, but as long as I wait until 12, my Skeleton Incarnation would be able to reconstruct itself under the effects of a spell. Thus, I didn't intend to waste my mana to forcefully reconstruct it. In the end … I enjoyed the food chain of Sulfur Mountain City.
"It's too early for you to celebrate. Think about it carefully. What other reason could make me like this? "
The Crimson Dragon supported her chin with her huge claw and looked like a human in deep thought. At first, she was calm and indifferent, but soon, she thought of a possibility. Her body tilted and her chin hit the ground hard, but she couldn't care less about the pain.
"It can't be, could it be that that person is back?"
I nodded with a heavy heart.
"Yes, she's back. Moreover, it's an upgraded version. Her mobility has increased tremendously. Look at how high I flew this time …"
Before I could finish my sentence, the enormous dragon had already roared.
"Quick, quick! Put up a no-battle sign at the foot of the mountain, say that I went out to visit a friend. Right, where's the key to the treasury? Throw it into the crater of the volcano, don't let that rascal enter my treasury. Forget it, I'm really going out. "
That day, the enormous dragon recalled the terror of being dominated by that fellow … After an afternoon nap, the humiliation of her proud dragon scales being painted with children's graffiti, the fear of her treasury being flooded with water, the smell of fresh meat mixed with sulfur and magma, the humiliation of the shiny gold coins being exchanged for worthless glass. …
"Meow, I'm not like those stupid lizards. How can a shiny glass be exchanged for gold coins? Don't even think about it! "
"Wuwuwu, I just wanted to make Auntie Little Red happy. Everyone says that Auntie Little Red likes shiny things. Wuwu, Ann was wrong, don't hate Ann. "
At that time, facing the crying little girl, facing the resentment of her parents, Marguerite and Adam, facing my 'you made a little girl cry again' mockery, even the enormous dragon couldn't maintain her dignity and could only try to please Ann instead.
"Un, un, Big Sister Dragon likes Ann the most, Ann, don't cry. Be good Ann, Auntie will give you candy to eat, no, this is a God Equipment, it's very valuable, I'll give it to you. You don't like it? Then try this, this is the Blessed Wing Armor, you can wear it when you grow up … "
Using those precious books of mine that were reduced to graffiti as proof, the scariest thing about rascal isn't their ability to cause trouble, it's that after they cause trouble, you still have to clean up the mess. If you reprimand them a little too harshly and make them cry, you still have to pay the price to make them happy.
That time, Ein Mezus gave me a God Equipment, a set of Myth-ranked armor from her collection, and two … lollipops. Actually, I felt that all of that had been unnecessary. Two lollipops would have been more than enough. Of course, I wouldn't remind this foolish dragon of that.
At this moment, hearing that Anne has returned, recalling the tragedy of the past, even the Ancient Red Dragon known as Veron's Calamity was scared out of her wits.
The attacking rascal, even the enormous dragon had to kneel before it.
"Don't panic, she is still in Sulfur Mountain City. When she goes up the mountain, I will inform you. But, since we met, there are some things I want to discuss with you. "
"Discuss what? I need to quickly move my treasury! I'm very busy. "
"How about talking about your mother?"
Even though it was an impolite question, Little Red calmed down.
"What do you mean? That self-proclaimed Dragon Queen Molly? What happened to her? "
Yes, the Ancient Red Dragon Ein Mezus is the unfilial daughter of the Dragon Queen Molly, the rebellious princess who was chased out of the Underground Dragons. Just like every young girl who runs away from home during her rebellious period, she has a stomach full of grievances against her mother and her tribesmen.
"She has her eyes on Sulfur Mountain City and perhaps, the Fire Origin God sealed beneath it. Don't tell me that you don't know that there is a Malevolent God sealed beneath it. "
"… I was wondering why I was sleeping so comfortably, so warm, as though I was sleeping in a hot pit. So, there really is a furnace hidden beneath the ground."
Alright, Red Dragons like the Fire Elementals like active volcanoes. To her, if the Fire Elemental God is sealed beneath the mountain, it is just a comfortable source of warmth.
"So, it is really a little troublesome now. Looks like those fellows in the Underground City will form an alliance sooner or later and the seal beneath your house has become their target. You don't want to wake up to find your house in ruins and even your treasury has been ransacked by others, right?"
"Furthermore, Anne is about to take over Adam's position. Although she is indeed a rascal, she is still a rascal that we raised together. Now that those fellows below are getting restless, are you willing to see our child being bullied?"
Hearing that, a blood-red ferocious glint flashes across the dragon's eyes. Along with the killing intent, comes a fearsome might.
The physical might of the Dragon descends and the powerful quasi-Legend Manticore is affected by it, scaring it into a ball. However, I, who bears the brunt of it, smiles.
I know that even though Little Red is an otaku, she isn't a fool. Her informants have definitely given her a lot of information.
Even though her mouth is tough, the one who dotes on Anne the most is this dragon lass, who has long passed the age of marriage but still hasn't married yet. She has long treated Anne as half a daughter. Otherwise, how would the greedy and selfish Red Dragons be willing to give her such a precious protective God Equipment?
Now that I mention that Anne is going to be bullied, the killing intent is naturally directed towards those fools in Sulfur Mountain City who think that they can ascend to the heavens.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just say whatever schemes you have in mind. Just like usual, you use your brain and I use my hands to beat them up."
Hearing this, I smile gleefully. I know that since Little Red is willing to be my fighter, I have already achieved more than half of my goal for coming here today. As for the rest …
"I want you to put on a show, a good show of an evil dragon attacking the city."
… The setup is done, what's left is my mission!
