Mushoku no Eiyuu ~Betsu ni Skill Nanka Iranakattan daga~

103-Episode 22 Gekioko

Finally, we're in the center...

''It's been a long time........ I didn't expect it to take even us six months........

Don't get complacent yet, you two. This is the legendary demon that lives here. We need to find out if it exists.

Zelt is right. .... and in some cases, we need to be vigilant so that we can get out of there quickly.

The heart of the Great Plains of Batuda.

A huge rock sits there, and there are four men and women.

They were top-notch adventurers formed from all over the world with the sole purpose of capturing the Batuda Great Plains here.

All of them were S-ranked.

Their occupations were the Knight King, the Magic King, the Thief King, the Thief King, and the Great Saints, all of which were the highest level of service.

However, even for such people, as the officials had said earlier, it had taken half a year to reach this point.

However, considering the fact that it is said that until now no one has ever reached the center of the city, it can't be helped.

''But even so, this area looks like it's devoid of demons...?''

Up to this point, the closer you get to the center of the city, the more vicious the demons become.

But here, on the contrary, they hadn't seen any demons at all.

''Isn't it because this is that legendary demon's territory?''

If that was the case, it would be a very powerful enemy.

For example, it was said that demons that lived for a long time, like the ancient dragons, had intelligence.

In many cases, if it was a legendary grade demon, they could talk to each other, but........

Just in case, they are in a covert state.

If the Thief King used the upper level skill of Secrecy, Zetsuzetsu, which can be acquired by the Thief King, not only he, but his friends could also benefit from it.

This skill was also extremely useful in traversing the plain, which was overrun with vicious demons.

However, I don't know if it's effective against legendary grade demons as well.

''Even so, it's a big rock.''

It's 300 meters long and 150 meters short. It must be over 100 meters high.

They decided to go around the rock for now.

The shape was nearly oval and the rock surface was ochre-colored.

When they touched it, it felt strange.

'Is it a bit warm?'

Yeah. It's got some elasticity to it. ...Is this really a rock?

And that's when it happened.

Suddenly, a crack appeared on the rock surface far above.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.

"....what?

Furthermore, the huge rock caused the body to rise up.

With that alone, the earth trembled and a sandstorm erupted.

And then a monster appeared in front of them, more than a hundred meters in height.

''Be, be........behemoth!

Well, they're not just a legendary, but a mythical creature?

Yes.

All along, what they, or rather everyone, thought was a rock was a behemoth, a behemoth of mythical proportions.

Does it look like a hippopotamus?

It had a stocky body, with a long torso and four legs that were quite short for its size.

Because of this, even if he stood up, his shoulders did not change much.

At that moment, the behemoth opened its mouth wide.

The nose part leaps up to the sky at once.

The inside of its peach-colored mouth is now in full view, and its mouth is so large that its jaw might have come off.

There are rows of huge fangs there, so sharp and thick that even a dragon could bite them off.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

""Uhhhh!"

The storm suddenly arose.

They were blown away in the direction of the behemoth.

Buuuuuuuuuuut!

""Nuh-uhh!"

The behemoths then slowly close their mouths.

This time a storm occurred in the opposite direction and they were blown away again.

To tell the truth, that was just a lackluster move, but that was enough to leave the S-ranked adventurers at the mercy of the S-ranked adventurers unable to do anything about it.

They rolled on the ground covered in dirt and looked up at the monster that appeared in front of them with a despairing expression.

''It's a monster........''

I gotta get out of here.

How am I supposed to get away from this guy?

It's this huge.

A single step would advance several dozen meters.

It was unlikely that he would be able to escape being chased by such an opponent.

''No, no, the opponent is a mythical demon!?Maybe you'll understand if you talk........!

So you can talk to him?

You just have to try!

Who does that?

I don't want to!

'I don't want to!?Yes, I'm sure the women would be caught off guard!

Hey!

Soon, the one who stepped forward to represent was the adventurer of the Knight King.

What a brave man.

''Kuh........if only I had goofed off over there......!

But he just lost in a junket.

'Wow, we never meant you any harm!?No, as you can see, it's a tiny little person!?That would be impossible!?Please, please, don't attack us!

Wobbling with fear, he appeals to the giant monster.

Will it reply?

Then.

"...sleeping.

How the voice came out of nowhere.

And it was a human language.

A glimmer of hope lit up in the hearts of the S-ranked adventurers, thinking that this might be able to help.

''Hey, I'm sorry to wake you up from your slumber!?But I didn't know that!?We need to get out of here now!?And I'll make it known that no human will ever stop by here again!

Behemoth says, whether or not he hears such a [Knight King] claim or not.

'I was sleeping comfortably.'

He continues.

"I'm furious.

Apparently, he's angry.

"I will not allow it.

""Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi!"

Immediately afterwards, the behemoth slammed his paws into the ground.

? ? ?

I finally got close to a giant rock.

But .....

Hmm, how's the rock starting to move?
