Chapter 48

"Orobus is here, right?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

After several hours of flying, they arrived near the summit.

At the summit, there was a large crater, and the fire-rock dragon was likely inside this crater.

From the summit, the fire-rock dragon was not visible, but finding Orobus was more urgent at the moment.

"Hey, Croisel. I have a favor to ask."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Varak was talking to Croisel.

"I want you to fly around and check if there's anyone else here for our return trip. Varak and the others will go to get Orobus, so while they're doing that—"

"Ah, I want to stay with Lord Norman."

"Croisel, please. It would be better for Lord Norman too, right?"

"Well, I guess you're right."

It was true that it would be more efficient to have Croisel check for others while they were looking for Orobus.

"If Lord Norman says so, I'll do it."

Though reluctantly, Croisel agreed and flew off to scout.

"Phew, finally alone."

Varak muttered softly.

Hmm? The atmosphere seemed to have changed.

"So, where is Orobus?"

Looking around, there was no sign of Orobus.

However, Varak must know where Orobus is.

"Orobus isn't here."

"Huh?"

"Because we came here to do this to you."

With a push of his hand, I stumbled backward and slipped.

By the time I realized it, I was already falling into the crater.

Yes, the fire-rock dragon was at the bottom of the crater.

"I need Lord Norman to die for Varak."

Varak was looking down at me with a smile.

It was a smile with upturned corners, a truly demonic smile.

I will continue updating.

I would appreciate your feedback.
