Volume 5 Chapter 3 Order Of The Sealed Dragon - The Strongest Swordsman, Ratis
Chaos Stone Dragonstone Kingdom One of the 4 major dungeons, 'Wrath of the Heavens'
Not a monster nor a trap, but a 'weather' that must be conquered to proceed deeper, an extremely 'troublesome' structure.
However, considering that the item leading to the 'God of Sealing Shildress' lies at the deepest part, it's an unavoidable matter.
The 5 existences that define the system of this world.
If you think about challenging one of them, it might be rather cheap.
All dungeons existing in the world have a hundred-layer structure, and the difficulty increases as one goes deeper, so it's impossible for it to be 'sadistic from the start.'
However, depending on the characteristics of each dungeon, 'troublesome' things do exist.
Weather, an existence that is impossible for humans to deal with, is just perfect for increasing the difficulty.
"Master! Someone from the Order of the Sealed Dragon is at the entrance!"
Cindy entered the lobby of the hero's house with a smile.
There, Horace was reading a newspaper, but he made a bitter expression upon hearing Cindy's report.
"...What's wrong?"
"Well...it's just, you know. The more troublesome they are, the more they come at you head-on. I was thinking that."
Horace sighed.
He might also be thinking about the time when Calamityshade Dragon Terra Disas was involved, and Robert...
Back then, he was seeking the power of the 'residual individuals' of Gai Gigant and Zeth Halcon that he possessed, but what about this time?
There are parts that he can anticipate, but whether the other party is more or less than that, he doesn't know.
"...Well, what should I do?"
Horace went to the entrance and opened the door.
"Hurry up! Now that I'm here, come immediately!"
A man who seemed to be looking down on this place...although, since Horace was taller (183 cm), he was actually looking up at him.
He was 18 years old. His height was around the latter half of 170 cm, and he was equipped with a sword at his waist.
With a handsome face, blonde hair, and blue eyes, he would probably be popular even with a neutral expression, as long as he did not make a condescending one.
The cloak had a dragon's head emblem with intersecting chains, marking it as the uniform of the Order of the Sealed Dragon.
"...Who are you?"
"I heard you have some information about the Order of the Sealed Dragon, but it seems I was mistaken! I'm Ratis. The strongest swordsman of the Order of the Sealed Dragon!"
"The strongest of the Order of the Sealed Dragon?"
Horace raised his observation skills.
...No, things like this don't improve just by being conscious of them, but in his case, since his eyes and ears have been turned into golems, this expression is correct.
And from his perspective...
"As a swordsman, indeed, you have considerable skill compared to others I've seen."
"Oh? To be able to see through my abilities..."
"But everything else is sloppy."
"Huh? ...Don't mess with me!"
Seemingly quick-tempered, Ratis placed his hand on the sword's hilt... but just as he did, Horace's hand was already approaching his face.
A small, about one-centimeter-diameter ball of light appeared in his palm.
──Flash!
"Ughhh!"
Ratis, writhing in agony as the intense light was directed at his eyes.
"You should at least use some magic to block excessive light."
"Guh!"
"By the way, can't you use healing magic? Something like that could be healed right away."
"Shut up! You, coward! Attacking suddenly like that!"
"But you were the one who put your hand on the sword's hilt first."
"What I do is right! Don't forget, you're a monster! I could cut you down right here!"
"Robert said the same thing. I don't hear it much anymore. Does the Order of the Sealed Dragon get so worked up about that?"
Horace sighed.
"You mock me, so hurry up and hand over that shard!"
"So that's your goal."
A shard needed to enter the place where the God of Sealing Shildress resides.
If you gather 3 and go to the back of Great Mine of Gold World (Kinsekai), you can actually meet God of Sealing Shildress.
That is the item, and in the first place, the Order of the Sealed Dragon is an organization that uses a part of Shildress's power.
Indeed, it seems like they aim to meet him and strengthen their sealing power.
"...Hmm, so you seem to know what that fragment means."
"Yeah."
"Then it's a quick story! The fragment that can meet the God of Sealing Shildress. It uses Shildress's power and is fitting for us! We will use that fragment to meet Shildress and take even more power to stand at the top!"
"I don't know how many members within the Order of the Sealed Dragon are thinking that way, but do you think they'll give it to you?"
"But even if you have it, it means nothing! Just give it to us quickly!"
"..."
Horace watched with an exasperated look, but for a moment, he threatened them seriously.
"!"
Ratis, whose face turned pale, was shrinking back.
"...Haa, from now on, I will enter the 4 major dungeons of Dragonstone Kingdom, 'Wrath of the Heavens.' If you want to take it from me, come after me."
"Guh, O-okay! Remember this! I will never forget this humiliation!"
Ratis forcibly stood up with a strained waist and left right after.
"...Why is it always like that? I thought the same when it was Robert, but the arrogant envoys are mysterious, and the matter of human resources is even more mysterious."
Saying that, Horace entered the mansion.
