ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 335: Dragon! Dragon! Part 1 Part 2

「I had no idea that masked people can get so expressive nowadays……」

Someone, anyone! Please, blow me up! I don’t want to be here!

「Sanraku-sama, even though I do not know about your circumstance, it would be best if you treaded cautiously here……」

You out of all people, telling me something like that……? Maybe I should really start doubting everything that people tell me? Use this like a filter of sorts? That way I will always remain vigilant, even in front of people who may genuinely have good intentions regarding me.

「Hmm, looks like if we continue to do this bit any longer, it might not turn so well for you in the end…… Come on now, look here, you have to finish the reasoning behind taking the detour, right?」

You know what, you’re right. Having actually let that chick bother me that much is just one huge waste of my time here. So I have to be strong and not let that woman affect me in any way now. That way we can overcome this situation……

But in the next moment, a human-sized object fell to the ground right in front of me.

「…………」

「…………」

「………… Ah, could this actually be my child here?」

I am going to omit the obvious matter here, but do you honestly think that a player could give birth to the Tyrannosaurus’ head like that!?

For a moment out there I thought that the head would be full of scratches, cut and slash marks, but aside from the blow that separated the head from the rest of the body it was all clean, no traces of violence on that specimen.

「Say, guys? Do you think that the Tyrannosaurus in this forest have the ability to separate their heads from the rest of their bodies?」

「And you really think that the designer team would really come up with an idea as crazy as that?」

「I have no idea how exactly the damage effects work in this game, but if you put a lot of centrifugal force to a slash with some great weapon, I suppose that you would get a clean cut like that. Or at least I think so……」

And looking at just how glossy and realistic the eyeballs of this Tyrannosaurus were, it was certainly not all that long ago that it passed away.

And since we know that monsters in this game cannot really separate their body parts of their own volition, someone had to help that one to become the severed head it was right about now.

In other words…… someone must have done it. And they also must have done it with huge amount of skill to be able to make a clean hit on a monster’s head just like that.

「…… I refuse to believe that you have managed to do this all on your own like that.」

「Monster Train? My, my, Sanraku-kun! I had no idea you would have such wild fantasies like that! Even during the time of Spell Creation Online……」

「We can talk about the old times later, but for now, Tottori……, ………… Could you please add this moron to the list of the party members?」

「I don’t really understand what is happening here, but…… Alright, as you wish.」

As regrettable as it may sound, having someone on your team who can tank damage AND dish out DPS is going to be a worthy addition.

Plus, the corpse of the mighty monster that was dropped to the ground got everyone in here on edge. While sitting on top of my head, Emul’s body started to tremble, and I take out the Dullahan Blade, assuming battle position without anyone really giving me an order to do so.

「Your Majesty, Your Highness…… I am going to tell you this right now: should anything happen to me, I want you to forget about me, turn around and run as far away from here as possible.」

「B-But why!? What is going on in here!?」

「In case of emergency, just please join the People of the Forest and run away. That way you are more likely to survive what’s about to come.」

「But what are you going to do, Sanraku-sama!? What about you!?」

Well, I guess that there is only one real thing a knight can do in a situation like this, right? Duty calls, as they say!

「……!!! Sanraku-kun!!! Something is wrong! Something is coming! Something is drawing closer here!」

「Shut the fuck up! No more tricks and mind games! Tottori, grab the People of the Forest and get as far away from here as……」

「QQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!」

How should I even describe that sound? A phone ringing? A police siren? Or maybe something that was a thousand times more unpleasant then the aforementioned things? I’m pretty sure that I’ve heard it somewhere before? But where? Let’s see if I can remember……

「It seems that we have more clients to deal with today at our store…… Just who it might be?」

「I think it might be the rest of the Tyranno-chan’s body. See those eyes on that head? They are to die for, so no wonder they want it back.」

「…… Over there!」

With every passing second the shaking of the atmosphere was growing stronger, and it was easier to identify where its epicenter was supposed to be. And if you were to look where Tottori was pointing at, towards the natural wall of thorns and vines……

It was red to the point of actually being terrifying. It was rushing through the natural barrier with no signs of stopping. In fact, this creature managed to break through the barrier with ease, as if it was not there in the first place. Like that, it broke right into the former village of the Elves.

It was the color of blood. An intense shade of red.

It was the color that was making your whole body tremble in horror and fear. You could also hardly sense any signs of intelligence from this creature and it was hard to make anything out of its unfocused eyes, since they looked like that of a dead fish.

It was the sickening red color of flesh.

You could see its bones, and its innards looked about ready to fall out of its body at any moment. Its front legs were actually fins, and they looked so shredded and torn apart, completely unsuitable for living on the dry land. However, they were allowing the creature to move forward just fine, possessing the strength that was more than enough to trample anything in its path.

This is…… This is……

「QQQQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII––––––!!!!!!!!!」

It looked just like a Chimera, its body constituting entirely of the things it managed to devour, without a single care what it might have been.

My voice echoed throughout the area almost at the same time as the announcement from the system.

「EVERYONE!!! SPREAD ABOUT!!!」

「MONSTER RAID BATTLE: START!」

「TARGET OF SUBJOGATION: DRAGON “GREAT RED DEVOURERER”.」

「COMMENCING RAID BATTLE!」

「NUMBER OF ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS: 3 OUT OF 45.」
