Chapter 219: Volume 9 - CH 215

As they approached the Sacred Mountain, the beasts and monsters flying around Yamato increased in density and size, but they did not attack Yamato. They kept a constant distance of about 10 majors (90 meters) and seemed determined to attack at any opportunity, but perhaps the intimidation by Minerva was having an effect. Not a single one of them has ever closed the gap between them.

「They don't attack us, which is good, but it's annoying.」

Even when they were close enough to see the mountain face of the Sacred Mountain, the guardians ― or more accurately, the guard beasts ― that protect the Sacred Mountain were neither breaking the siege nor attacking. There was a giant eagle with wings spread that looked to be three meters in length, a pteranodon-like pterosaur, and a flying dragon. It looked like a fair of large animals flying in the sky.

About 10 majors into the mountainside, the Yamato slowly begins to float diagonally upward toward the crater. It is far enough away that the dark gray rock surface and white snow are visible to the eye.

「What can I say, ...... I feel like I'm being watched.」

「You can say that again」

The situation of being completely surrounded creates a unique sense of tension.

The ones that surround them are large beasts that humans would not be able to defeat in a one-on-one situation. They are herding together.

Rico and Liz were especially nervous. There was no way that they had ever been surrounded by this many monsters and beasts. Even though they knew that there would be no problem because of the presence of Satoru, Leia, Solor, and Isolde, they could not stop themselves from being nervous.

「...... the snow, it's deeper than I thought」

Liz, who glanced upward from the cabin, muttered a few words. She seemed to be trying to release her tension by daring to ignore the fact that she was surrounded by monsters. However, it is impossible to ignore the roar of the monsters completely, because it is sometimes mixed with the sound of the wind breaking.

Minerva, perhaps having overheard the roar, raised her voice, "Hmmm".

「You know. The ones surrounding us are scared, too.」

「Scared?」

Rico tilts her head at Minerva's voice.

「Yes. Because this Yamato looks like something strange, hard, and doesn't taste good that they have never seen before. Besides, Minerva thinks they heard Minerva's voice just now. Minerva is strong, and they seem to know that if they attacks, they will be killed.」

"Hoo," said Satoru. The Lord of the Flying Dragon is second only to the Five Dragons and has earned a certain amount of respect among beasts and monsters. Not only the iron presence of Yamato but also Minerva's presence probably keeps them surrounded at a distance.

The Yamato dances silently in the air above the crater.

The inside of the crater(火口) is a crater(クレーター), and it is completely white. However, there are several caves in the crater that look like they might be able to fit into the mountain body.

Satoru checked the terrain briefly and used his imagination and sorcery. A shadow suddenly appeared in front of his path, and a thick rock made a thudding sound as it sat in the crater of the crater.

The rock suddenly appeared, and the beasts flying around the rock made a fuss, but there was still no sign of an attack.

Understanding Satoru's intention, Leia nodded her head and guided Yamato very carefully to the bedrock that had been prepared for landing.

「When you get off, my Lord. I suggest you use the 【Roar】.」

At the sound of Leia's voice, Satoru involuntarily tilted his head. He had forgotten the existence of the 【Roar】 art. Fortunately, he remembered immediately.

「The 【Roar】 was that, right? The one I used in Galhassan's Thieves' Guild?」

「That's it. Why don't you try shouting at them, imagining that your voice is intimidating them?」

I see, Satoru was convinced.

When Satoru had beaten up Galhasan's Thieves' Guild, he had tested whether his voice carried magic power, and that was the 【Roar】. At that time, as he had planned, he had neutralized half of them.

If Minerva's voice made them fear her, then the 【Roar】 art of putting magic power in his voice would certainly be effective. It is quite possible that the moment they get off the Yamato, they will attack from outside.

With a creaking sound, Yamato landed at the landing point prepared by Satoru.

Everyone checked their equipment.

Hundreds of large flying beasts would surround Yamato ten to twenty times. The moment the door was opened, the possibility of an attack was extremely high.

First, open the inner door. The cold air outside touched Satoru's skin at the same time as the sound of air escaping from the door. Even though the sun was still shining, it was definitely below freezing at the top of the 7150-meter-high mountain.

Satoru put his hand on the outer door, and before he opened it, he looked back at the slaves behind him.

「All of you, cover your ears.」

After confirming that everyone had covered their ears, Satoru slowly opened the door and shouted with all his might,

「URAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

The voice, filled with the will I'll kill if you come near me, echoed through the crater of the Sacred Mountain as a wave. At that moment, as if by a shockwave, all the flying beasts surrounding Yamato moved away from them at once.

「Ohhh, it's working」

Perhaps they were surprised by the sudden voice, but they certainly seemed intimidated. Although there is also a deafening squeal, even to Satoru's ears it feels more like a threat than intimidation. He quickly gets off with his Giant Killer in hand and checks the area, but the beasts seem to be frightened and show no sign of attacking.

The magical slaves were relieved, and Solor, Leia, and Isolde quickly scattered around to protect Rico, Liz, and Minerva. Gyaa-gyaa and cries become even louder, but the magical slaves show no sign of agitation.

Satoru used his sorcery and quickly covered the Yamato with a stone coffin. The rock was about half a major thick. He also carefully applied 【Sturdy】 to it. Now it would not be destroyed by such a thing.

「Muh」

Immediately after, a wisp-like object approached, weaving its way between the beasts and monsters that were in the distance, and Satoru braced himself. Uncautious, he readied his Giant Killer and was stopped in his tracks by Leia.

「It's a conscious body.」

「Conscious body?」

「It's the thing that flies when you use remote-type arts such as 【Distant View】 and 【Distant Hearing】. Normally, they are only faintly visible.」

The consciousness came very close to Satoru and moved up and down as if to greet him.

『I see you are a foreigner and his party』

「Who are you?」

The voice emanating from the conscious body was male. Satoru asked back without care.

『Pardon me. I am Amon, a resident of this Sacred Mountain.』

「Amon......【Immortal King】 Amon!!?」

Leia shouted in surprise.

There are three confirmed immortal kings in the world today. Yarth, Leia, and Amon. Of these, Amon is considered to be the late and last immortal king.

Immortal kings do not usually fight over territory. They are far removed from power, and there is basically no reason for them to fight. Besides, there are only three of them in this vast world. It is extremely rare that two immortal kings, who are usually secluded in a labyrinth, meet each other like this.

『The Holy Dragon wants to meet you. I will show you the way, so please follow me.』

With a flurry of consciousness, he flew into the cave as if leading the way. The unexpected words made Satoru and the other slaves blink their eyes.

Nevis, the Sacred Mountain, is the home of the Feather Dragon. It is said to be the center of this world. It is a place where monsters and beasts roam, and where man has no control.

There is no end to the number of people who visit this place seeking the wisdom of the Feather Dragon, but most of them have been attacked and killed by monsters and beasts before they reach the Feather Dragon. It is an unprecedented and impossible story that the Holy Dragon, the Lord of this Sacred Mountain, wanted to meet with a certain person and sent an immortal king, who was specially allowed to live in this land, as his messenger.

Satoru looks to his first magical slave standing beside him.

『Understood』

The reply came back in telepathy.

Considering the situation, it was most likely a vicious trap. Satoru has a soul that overpowers others, but he is an intuitive person and knows that traps are meant to be eaten away. If Satoru were alone, that would be fine, but with Rico, Minerva, and Liz, all of whom he must protect, he cannot fall into a trap based on the premise that he will be able to eat through it.

That's where Leia comes in. She is a wise woman, though she is often careless. If it is a vicious trap, it is necessary to have a presence to keep an eye on the area.

Isolde and Leia are on high alert, carefully probing the area. The monsters are still staring at Satoru and the others from afar in the sky, but there is no sign of an attack.

Perhaps impatient with the fact that he had gone ahead but not followed, his conscious body suddenly returned to Satoru's.

『There is no need for you to be vigilant like that. I have no intention of fighting you.」

Kuku, Satoru snickered. Tapping his shoulder with his Giant Killer, he scowls at the consciousness of Amon, the immortal king, who does not seem to understand.

「How many people do you think would be convinced by that?」

『.....I see, If you ask me, you're right.」

The body of consciousness wavered a little as if it was slightly confused.

『But if you follow me, you will understand. The beasts in the sky did not attack, did they? The monsters that would normally block your path have already been eliminated.』

The demons that would normally block your path have already been eliminated.

「Isn't that very thoughtful?」

『He said that he did not want to see this Sacred Mountain destroyed by unnecessary fighting. However, even if there is no obstacle from there, it will take you 10 whole days on foot, so please take it easy.』

Amon's reply made Satoru relax a little.

It is true that this Sacred Mountain is huge. But if Satoru really gets into it, he will be able to blow up this mountain with no problem. And when it comes to fighting monsters and beasts, there is no telling where the aftermath will come from. The Holy Dragon's concern about this was understood to a certain extent.

As might be expected, the Holy Dragon Feather Dragon must have some grasp of Satoru's situation, regardless of the means he uses to get there. Once he was aware of the situation, he sent out an errand to eliminate the risk of the Sacred Mountain being destroyed.

But even so, Satoru cannot trust him unconditionally. Even this consciousness has a unique sense of unpredictability. And the other party is a being that has ruled this world for all time. As the Academy of the Wise has determined, the possibility that the Holy Dragon is trying to eliminate Satoru as an unworthy existence cannot be dismissed.

「Let's go」

After looking back at the magical slaves in a roundabout way, Satoru raised his voice.

If there is a trap, I will blow up this Sacred Mountain on the spot. That's what he has decided to do. Unlike Ares, if there is no one here, he doesn't need to hesitate.

I wonder how the Holy Dragon Feather Dragon, which is said to be the strongest dragon in this world, would welcome us. Satoru stepped on the white snow, which was still hard, thinking that it was somewhat inappropriate.
