Bab 67: Chapter 66
While Ren was watching Leon, Mafuyu and the others entering the dungeon while laughing, he couldn't help but worry. He knew that Seiji was the type of man who only had powerful subordinates, not only that, their subordinates did all kinds of things before the monsters appeared. Some were shady loan sharks, gangsters, and even killers. However, those were only rumors; no one could confirm that someone so close to the Emperor had underlings like that.
"I don't like their eyes," Ren murmured.
Mafuyu was too carefree, even if he lied, saying that he was the strongest soldier being commanded by Seiji, the best soldier of someone like Seiji wasn't supposed to be someone like that. Meanwhile, the others were too quiet, to the point one could find their behavior creepy. But what worried Ren the most was Leon's behavior, he noticed that those guys were shady, but he still was talking with them as if they were his new best friends.
Ren knew that Leon could be powerful, but he was alone in a crowded place. Besides, he was a mage, in a fight five vs. one against soldiers who were specialized in quick attacks, he would be in trouble… Ren could only pray that nothing would happen.
Contrary to Leon's expectations, Mafuyu and the others decided to walk ahead of him and protect Leon in case something happens. Since he was a mage, he intended to use that as an excuse, but… now he couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
"Perhaps they only want to collect information about me, or maybe they wanted to make me drop my guard."
Either way, it won't happen. As much as Leon wanted to clear that dungeon as soon as possible, he decided to play it safe. When the first dragon appeared, he only used Fire Bullets to distract the dragon while Mafuyu and his team attacked the monsters by the sides. Leon's Fire Bullets were powerful enough to melt an earth dragon's scale, so he made them feel a lot of pain.
When the dragon got impatient, it slapped the paws on the ground and made the entire cave tremble. However, that didn't disturb Leon. Using the dirt under his feet, he levitated a little escaped the effects of the earthquake.
Since the monsters were very large, that dungeon was a little larger than the others. Thanks to that, Mafuyu and the others had enough space to jump around, kicking the ceiling and the walls to gain momentum to damage the earth dragon's limbs. They were fast, but even though Leon barely trained his speed, he still could follow them with his eyes…
After a few seconds, the monster lost control over its limbs and opened its mouth to hit Mafuyu and the others, but the creature ended up chewing the stones when Leon shot a Fire Bullet inside its mouth. The earth dragon received a shock, and so Mafuyu used that chance to cut half of the earth's dragon neck, killing it.
"Good job, guys," Leon clapped his hands. "As expected, everything becomes easier when you have allies with you."
"Haha, this was nothing." Mafuyu laughed. "Still… aren't you going to use those spears? Your magic is quite powerful, but I imagine those spears could deal a lot more damage."
"Ah… the spears are just to scare people," Leon smirked and whispered as if he was telling a secret. "Those are so weak that it would break after a single use."
"Is that so?" Mafuyu frowned.
After that, they resumed their job. Leon thought he would have a hard time against earth dragons, but even though he was holding back, nothing dangerous happened. The most dangerous things happened when the dragon hit the ground with both paws and make earth spikes fall over them. Leon destroyed the spikes that would fall above them with Water Bullets while Mafuyu and the others just evaded the projectiles.
Leon was barely using mana, and even though they weren't progressing fast enough, he wasn't impatient, because Mafuyu and his underlings barely sweat in all those fights.
"Those guys have the skills to kill all the dragons of this dungeon, so why the baldie isn't the owner of this place? They probably found the crystal but can't destroy the boss… are they hoping that I will do that for them in order to let them obtain ownership of this place?"
If that were the case, Leon would feel quite disappointed, but in the end, that would be for the best. He wouldn't show mercy to those who try to mess with him, but he also wouldn't make enemies with every step.
If they were planning to do something, Mafuyu and his underlings wouldn't do anything anytime soon. So, Leon decided to speed up things. Using Fire Bullets, he melted the earth dragon's eyes and paws. Without their paws, the monsters couldn't use earthquake and make earth spikes fall over Leon and the others. Without their eyes, they couldn't aim. So, Mafuyu had quite an easy time finishing them off.
Just as Leon thought, Mafuyu knew the path that leads to the end of the dungeon. When they reached the end of the place, Leon understood why Mafuyu and his underlings didn't try to clear the dungeon. The last part of the dungeon was massive; it was like one kilometer long and one hundred meters tall. It looked like at some point they started to walk downward without noticing since the dungeon where the mountain wasn't that big.
More important than that, was the boss, which was a three-headed earth dragon. The beast had the same size as the dragon that attacked Leon's airplane. Looking at that thing, Leon couldn't help but tremble… he lost the drive to act so carefreely in front of Mafuyu and the others.
