Houen immediately tried to burn the monster, but before he could do so, the monster pulled its tongue and made Houen lose his stance.
It is difficult to regain one’s position when one is knocked out of control in mid-air.
He tried to pick up the wind by flapping his wings, but he couldn’t seem to do it.
Houen falls toward the ground.
Yet, there was an orc-like creature holding a large log.
It carried the log on its shoulder and looked at Houen.
Looking for the right moment, it swung the log out like a baseball bat and struck Houen.
“KHaah….”
I hear the sound of bones breaking all over me, and Houen comes flying toward me.
He rolled on the ground to cut down his momentum, but he already had no strength to hold on, and he hit the castle wall with the same momentum he was blown away with.
The force of the blow was considerable, and the wall crumbled a little.
Houen then fell to the ground with a heavy impact.
“Wai-! You okay!?”
I immediately took out a bottle of recovery water and rushed to Houen’s side.
As soon as I pour it on his face, I decide to give him a great heal.
If not, he’s going to die for real.
Even now, it is doubtful if he is still alive.
The moment I arrived in front of Houen, I took the lid off the bottle and was about to pour it on him.
Houen’s body crumbled away.
“Hah ……?”
Ashes spilled out from between the armor, creating a pile of ashes.
I could only watch with my mouth open.
Eh ……?
This is ……, what happened ……?
Why did he crumble?
Where did Houen …… go?
“Bwah!”
“HOLY SHIT!!! That startled me!!!”
A child came out of the ashes!
In the name of reptile, who the heck are you?
“Do not be so surprised! It’s me! It’s me!”
“Eh, Hah? No, I mean, ……, you know, ……,”
“It’s a blessing of the phoenix! I am immortal! But if I die, I’ll just be a child!”
“Oh, I see!”
That’s a relief!
I guess this is what it means to be immortal!
“Heck, would you come back to your adult form?”
“I can’t go back for three days! Clothes, clothes ……. In my magic bag……”
“You’re prepared with a child clothes jut in case huh….”
I don’t know if it’s better to have it ready or what. ……
I mean, if he’s alive, he doesn’t have time to worry about that!
There were centipedes in the castle!
“Houen! Centipedes! Inside!”
“C-centipedes? You mean the enemy is inside?”
“That’s what I’m trying to tell you! That’s the centipede I saw in the dungeon! The one that kept coming out of the crystal!”
“…………Eh?
“Eh? ………… Ah-“
The thing called magic crystal that the blob was talking about.
They also said they were going to place it somewhere.
In addition to that information, the crystal that I saw in the dungeon that causes centipedes to spring up endlessly.
Don’t tell me that crystal that they called [Magic Crystal] is the one that spawn monsters endlessly?
And that blob has placed it.
In this country somewhere.
Is that where the centipedes are sprouting from……?
Houen also seemed to have noticed this, and his face turned pale as he sent instructions to me.
“Ouren take care of the enemy here! I’m going to check out what’s going on inside and deal with it!”
“Wai- Hey! Are you sure you can handle it with that condition?”
“I can’t fly with this body, but it uses less MP and is more powerful! I can handle this side!”
“Just less mobility? Then leave this one to me! I’ll take care of it!”
“Please!”
I readied my Hakuryuzen once more, and Houen ran into the Kingdom of Salettana.
