My name is Bazara. An A-rank solo adventurer.
After completing the challenge to the depths of the “Great Dungeon” of Vegaltia, I returned safely to the surface. However, just as I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after such a life-threatening adventure, a vicious monster suddenly appeared before me.
“Why is it here……? I’m not in the dungeon, am I……?”
No, maybe I’m hallucinating again.
When I reached the 60th floor, I immediately decided to turn back because I had hallucinations of seeing a baby.
“Apparently, I am more tired than I thought. But if this is real…… this will be bad……”
I’m probably the only one who can deal with that monster right now. I made up my mind, picked up my sword, and tried to jump out of the window. But then I saw something more ridiculous.
Right in front of that jet-black wolf, there is the baby that I had seen before. He was so small compared to the wolf so that is probably why I didn’t notice him right away.
“T-that’s…… he is the baby I saw on the sixtieth floor, isn’t he?”
I muttered in bewilderment, and the next moment, a magical light burst out, the baby and the gigantic jet-black wolf are gone.
“……G-gone?”
Only the remnants of magic remain. I stood there stunned for a moment, and then I can’t help but mutter,
“Haha…… It must be my hallucination again. Looks like I am going to require a long break……”
◇◇◇
I climbed on top of Kaa-chan’s head and transferred from the city of Vegaltia to the Demon Forest.
『…… How can you come along?』
(There’s is a not well-known advanced technique called reverse summoning. And when the summoned beast returns to its original location, the summoner can follow along.)
『Is that so? Well, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything you do at this point.』
However, to return to Vegaltia, I can’t use the same move.
By the way, I left Fana and Anje in Vegaltia city. One reason was that they would be a hindrance, but also because if I were to take them with me via reverse summoning, it would consume a lot of magical power. I didn’t want to use up too much magical power when I was just about to fight.
「「「Aooo, aooo, aooo!」」」
Jet-black wolves rushed towards us.
“Whoa, you guys have grown bigger again!”
「「「Aoo, aooo, aooo!」」」
They were my good brothers. It seems that they have indeed already turned into adults. Their face has become fearless, and their cries are now loud. They are over 3 meters in length.
『You’re already so big now. Don’t try to pounce on him, you know? That’s going to be heavy.』
The little werewolves tried to reach me, who is on top of Kaa-chan’s head but they are shaken off roughly. I wanted to jump off and play with them, but it’s not the time to do that right now.
“I’ll play with you after I get back.”
「「「Aoooo, aooo!」」」
I glanced to the northwest of the forest.
(It’s over there huh.)
『Can you tell?』
(Yes. It gave off a really big presence after all. It is indeed a powerful one.)
『If you’re going to turn back, now is the time.』
(No, I’m fine.)
『……Then make sure not to be shaken off! 』
Kaa-chan kicks the ground and starts running. The wolf cubs that are clinging around her buttocks were shaken off, and while screaming “Gyau!”, she runs through the forest at breakneck speed.
On the way, the wolves gathered to follow Kaa-chan.
“Waaaauuuuuuuu!!! 『You guys are not coming with me!』”
Kaa-chan’s roar made the group stop in fear. After proceeding for a while, we began to pass many huge bodies running frantically from the front.
『Those are trolls. 』
(This area is their territory, right?)
『Yes. They’re a belligerent bunch, but right now, they’re running away with their tails tucked between their legs. Tsk! They don’t even come at us when they notice us. 』
(Hmmm, this just shows how fearsome that guy is.)
And then we came to an area where corpses of trolls laying on the ground began to increase.
Then finally, we faced the perpetrator.
