Leon compares the "Fafnir" that fell to the ground with Hans and the others again.


    （The guild "Arrow of Heavenly Horses" easily ...... defeated the B-class monster "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)". The number of people in the guild should make it a small guild, not different from ours. This is Roland''s training ability.)


    Are you all right, sir?　That man looks badly injured. ......"


    Claire looked at Jeff and said.


    ''I guess I''d better cast a restorative spell or go back to town and get some medical attention.


    Alice said as she inspected Jeff''s wounds.


    Hey," Alice said as she inspected Jeff''s wounds. More importantly!


    Cecil interrupts the conversation.


    Erio, one of our people is still fighting the Fire Dragon (Fafnir) alone!


    Before Cecil could say anything, the rasping cry of a "fire dragon (Fafnir)" came from the other side.


    Hmmm..." "Hmmm..." Cecil said. There was still a fire dragon (Fafnir)? Alice, Claire, let''s go. Save him in his blue armor.


    Erio was holding his shield and glaring at "Fafnir the Fire Dragon.


    （d*mn. I wanted to run to Leon and the others.)


    Fafnir" did not easily miss Erio as it circled in the sky and attacked with its "breath of fire.


    Therefore, Erio could not escape by showing his back, and they were stuck in a state of staring at each other.


    (Is the armor coating about to go bad?)


    Erio felt that the reflective function of the armor covering him was weakening.


    This meant that the durability of his shield and armor was nearing its limit.


    At that moment, three red arrows pierced the fire dragon (Fafnir).


    (What the hell? !)


    When Erio looked in the direction from which the arrow flew, he saw one man and two women holding bows and arrows.


    Fafnir" finds a new target of hate and changes the attack target from Elio to Hans and the others.


    (That red arrow, you don''t think it was them?)


    Mhm. Couldn''t take him down with a single blow?"


    It seems to be a level higher than the Fafnir we saw earlier.


    Then, until more damage is done. Let''s go."


    Alice runs out and tries to flank the "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)".


    Fafnir breathes fire breath and tries to burn her, but she is unable to catch him.


    (Fast!　It is superior in agility to the flying "Fire Dragon (Fafnir)". What are these three ......)


    Alice is not satisfied with just dodging the breath of fire with her agile legs, but she tries to shoot an arrow from her bow.


    (Skill "rapid fire"!).


    Alice''s arrow pierces "Fafnir".


    "Gggggiii!"


    Fafnir" glared at Alice.


    In truth, she should have paid attention to the two remaining people other than Alice, but since she had been dodging and shooting arrows at them since earlier, she couldn''t look away.


    (Alice''s skill "rapid fire". The power of the arrow is reduced to half of the normal one, but it can be released with only one-half of the normal preliminary movement. Alice''s agility is unmatched among us, so she can also stir up the enemy''s attention. It''s a great decoy to gather hate. (The rest can be found at ......)


    Thanks to Alice''s help in gathering the fire dragon (Fafnir)''s hate, Hans was able to enter the fire dragon (Fafnir)''s blind spot without being noticed by "Silent Run" at his leisure.


    （All that remained was to finish him off with a normal bow shot.)


    When Hans shoots an arrow, "Fafnir" notices him just in time and dodges.


    （Hans fires an arrow. He missed.)


    Fafnir" turns its long neck and points its mouth toward Hans.


    Breath of Fire" is coming!　Run!"


    Elio shouted as if he were screaming.


    However, Hans, who was in firing position, could not move immediately.


    The "Breath of Fire" attacked Hans.


    At that moment, a red jewel embedded in Hans'' bow and arrow shined.


    The red gem embedded in Hans'' bow and arrow glows, and he inhales the breath of fire that Fafnir breathed out.


    (That''s ...... "Fire Felt"!


    Now, I''ve set the table. The rest is up to you, sisters."


    Claire clips three arrows to her bow.


    (Skill: "Continuous Fire"!)


    Fafnir", which is in the process of breathing out "Breath of Fire", cannot respond to Claire''s shooting.


    All three arrows fired by Claire hit "Fafnir".


    As a final push, Alice fires a "rapid fire" shot.


    However, "Fafnir" was still alive.


    It rushes toward Hans.


    Fafnir," said Hans, "you have shown great courage. But this is the end!


    When Hans fired an arrow from his bow, the "Fire Felt" reacted.


    It was Hans'' skill "magic shooting," which is different from normal shooting.


    A red arrow with fire breath hits "Fafnir" on the forehead.


    Fafnir", which was shot with its own breath of fire, crashes to the ground.


    Erio was stunned by their battle.


    (These three people could easily defeat "Fafnir," the fire dragon, with ease. What agility, anti-aircraft firepower, and coordination!


    I''m not sure I''m going to be able to do it. Somehow we managed to beat them."


    Hans. Are you hurt?"


    Claire asked worriedly.


    I''m fine," she said. The "Fire Felt" did a good job of absorbing the flames. But more importantly, he''s ......, hmm?"


    What''s wrong?


    I can feel someone coming from behind the bushes.


    Hans looked behind the bushes.


    Then he saw a group of people with swords and shields approaching.


    "Those are the ''White Wolves''!


    Alice said, her face tense.


    It''s going to be a white hand-to-hand combat."


    Hans, too, looks grim.


    （Our tactic is hit and away. Roland''s instructions were to run away if it looks like it''s going to be a white hand-to-hand combat,......, but with the agility of Erio and the others, it''s impossible to outrun a bandit (Thief). What should we do?　Should we abandon Elio and his friends?　(No, but after helping him once, it would be uncool to abandon him and run away, wouldn''t it?)


    While Hans was having a not-so-cool conflict, the "Sword Thieves" from "White Wolf" were approaching from behind the trees.


    While Hans was struggling with this, Erio jumped out.


    Erio!


    Leave the ground fighting to me!"


    Erio charged into the midst of the oncoming "sword thieves" and smashed their weapons with the reflective effect of his blue shield and blue armor.


    The "Sword Thief" of "White Wolf" was defeated in the blink of an eye.


    He''s good, isn''t he? He drove back several thieves by himself.


    You have great defense.


    Alice and Claire said, impressed.


    ''Hey, are you okay?''


    Hans rushed to Elio''s side and held out his hand.


    ''That was a hell of a defense. Nice fight."


    No, you guys are the ones who are amazing to defeat ''Fafnir the Fire Dragon. But still, ......


    Elio shifted his eyes to Hans and his team''s equipment.


    They were wearing only the bare minimum except for their anti-aircraft firearms.


    Could they survive in the dungeon with such equipment?


    We try to hit and run, except in the air," he said.


    Hans, noticing Elio''s gaze, explains.


    So we can only hunt flying monsters," he said. But if we combine your ground combat skills with ours, ......, it could be interesting."


    Hans said with a friendly smile.


    Ummm, yes. Um, what the hell are you guys ......?"


    Elio!　Are you okay?"


    Are you hurt?"


    Leon approaches from behind the bushes with Cecil and Jeff on his shoulder.


    Leader. Everyone. Are you all right?


    Yeah, you look like you''re okay, too."


    Leader. These people are from ......."


    Yeah, he just happened to be passing by. They helped us because we are affiliated with the same guild, the Arsenal of Spirits.


    What?　The "Arsenal of Spirits"?


    Ah, hmmm. Let''s put aside the accumulated talk and go back to the city for now, shall we?　He''s an archer. He''s very sick, isn''t he?


    Oh, yeah.


    Wait, what''s this shaking?"


    Claire said curiously.


    If you ask me," the seven people present were suspicious of the slight vibration they had just felt.


    It wasn''t just the shaking.


    Birds were flying from the trees in the forest, and dragons, including the fire dragon (Fafnir), were chirping loudly.


    It was as if it was the harbinger of a natural cataclysm.


    At the same time, "Grand Fafnir," who had defeated the Grand Alliance, was angry with the adventurers who had disturbed his comfortable sleep.


    So, they jump near the crater of the volcano and stomp on the ground to stimulate the volcano.


    As they do this, magma rushes up from the crater, and the volcano eventually erupts.


    The overflowing magma turned into lava and went down the mountain, melting rocks and forming new sediments.


    The topography of the dungeon changed, and the lava crossed the forest around the volcano and eroded into the city.


    When Grand Fafnir saw that the disaster he had caused threatened the human world, he was satisfied and went back into a deep sleep.
