I'm ready now.
I can bring down this building anytime.
I still have a lot of magic left.
At this rate, I can step in for Laios and the others if anything happens.
This plan is good, right?
I use up all my magic to stun the dragon.
Instead of using chancy explosive spells against the dragon
at the risk of everyone's lives,
it's more reliable to bury the dragon in the debris of a building.
Yes, this is definitely a better plan.
Stay calm.
I need to focus on my task.
We'll make this work!
Hang in there, Falin!
DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON
It noticed us.
Run!
It's so fast!
Just so you know, a Red Dragon's maximum speed is 60 kilometers per hour!
You should've said that earlier!
The terrain is slowing it down! It's all good!
Turn right at the next corner!
We'll lure it to unleash its fire breath on this straight path.
Dragons breathe fire
by clicking their tongues to ignite the fuel stored in their bodies.
To prevent it from lashing out when we restrain it,
we'll make it use up all its fuel along the way!
It's clicking its tongue!
Here comes!
What intense heat!
But…
Thanks to this pot and magic, we can endure it.
Good. So far, so…
What?
The heat of the pot is spreading evenly and…
So hot!
But of course, it's hot!
Senshi uses it for cooking every day!
Somehow, I thought it would have a special resistance to dragon fire.
I thought Namari said
that adamant protects against all dragon attacks.
She was just talking out of her hat!
I never said that.
Ugh, it's doing it again!
We have no choice!
We'll change our route!
Huh?
No way!
They're here already?
Aren't they a bit early?
Wait, what?
I thought the plan was to split in two!
Can I go ahead and stick to the plan?
Ugh, I don't understand!
Fine! Here goes!
No way!
It's not hurt at all!
Shh!
Don't move.
Its inverse scale is right there.
A few more steps, and I could reach it!
It…
It ran away!
Damn it, Kensuke!
Never trust a monster…
-You… -Laios! Chilchuck! Get up!
Above us!
Hide under its belly!
Laios, you bastard!
My bad! I'm sorry!
Dammit!
The common language doesn't have enough words of insult!
Ponza! Toroldo!
-Unerma! Poojam! Varo! Monsanto! Belcher! -I'm being insulted in a strange language!
What are we gonna do now?
It's angry! It's super angry!
We have no choice.
Let's run from the side of its tail--
No, it's too dangerous.
What if we never manage to escape from under its crotch?
This won't do!
A simple incantation won't have any effect on it.
Focus!
What did you do that for?!
Our only weapon just got shattered!
What do we do now?!
We have no choice.
Use this.
What?
Is that really made of a special metal?
It slices through the bone and skin of every monster.
And I've diligently taken care of it each day.
There's probably no other like it on this earth.
It's a mithril cooking knife!
Mithril?
Are you serious?
I wish Namari could've seen this.
Depending on the situation, she might've killed Senshi.
I had a suspicion that she might, which is why I chose to remain silent.
Take this!
It really pierced through its scale!
But the blade is so short that no matter where I strike,
I might not be able to deliver a fatal blow.
What should I do now?
This means the plan failed, right?
Or are they executing a different strategy?
What am I supposed to do?
No time to hesitate!
Get back!
My sword is getting farther and farther away.
If we continue retreating, we'll end up in the open square.
Then, we'll be turned to cinder by its fire breath!
I will draw its attention.
Don't! It's too risky!
Laios, you understand, don't you?
Among all the monsters you've eaten so far,
was there one that didn't give their utmost effort?
In this place, it's a matter of eat or be eaten.
If we don't make desperate efforts, we'll be the ones who'll be eaten.
Brace yourself for the worst!
Senshi!
-Sen-- -Idiot!
There's no point if you rush out!
Retreat for now.
Figure something out with Marcille!
Hey! Are you still alive?
I'll help you out now--
Can you move?
I did it!
It's stuck to the ground.
Move aside!
Laios!
I'll be right back!
Senshi! Get up!
Sen--
Sorry, Marcille.
I didn't expect to find you here.
I'm glad my magic seems to be working.
What's going on? Where are the other two?
Things aren't looking good.
Every strategy we came up with has failed.
The other two are unconscious at the dragon's feet.
What?! W-What do we do?!
Right, the only option is to use my magic.
The dragon is injured and agitated.
It's risky to approach it or enter its line of sight.
But we have to do something quickly!
-Let's head upstairs. -What?
W-What will you do?
I'll climb to the height of the dragon's head.
-And stand inside the pot. -What?
Then, I want you to blow it up.
What? Seriously?
The dragon is blind in its left eye.
If I approach from its left side,
I should be able to leap onto it without being noticed.
But…
You did a similar maneuver before…
when you fought the Undine.
But that was on the water with Water-Walk.
This time, we have defense magic and the pot.
What happens next?
How will you stab its inverse scale while clinging to its head?
I have an idea about that.
There's no room for more failures.
I don't plan on failing.
Are you sure about this?
You do have a plan, right?
I believe in you.
I'll be flung off.
I need to execute my plan swiftly.
It'll be over in an instant.
It's not a big deal.
Especially when compared…
to Falin's pain!
Laios!
Where are you going?
I heard there's a ghost at the graveyard.
Don't tell Dad or anyone else, okay?
-Whoopee! -Whoopee!
Don't worry.
It's difficult to walk with you clinging to me like that.
There's not even a single bug.
Let's head back, Falin.
Laios…
Laios!
Take it off!
Help me.
-Please. Take it off. -It's cold.
I can't breathe.
Falin, run…
Laios!
Let my brother…
go!
It's someone who was buried in that grave.
His ring is binding his soul.
Remove it for him.
And his soul will be set free.
A ring?
What are you talking about?
This is the grave of Olman, who passed away recently.
When he was alive, he used to boast about a golden ring he bought from an elf.
How did that child know about it?
Did I do something wrong?
You're incredible, Falin.
You have a knack for ghost magic.
Don't let it bother you.
Grown-ups are just scared of magic.
You should study proper magic.
You'll never be out of a job.
What kind of job?
Let's see.
You could become a priest or a grave keeper.
Being a traveling exorcist might be interesting, too.
You travel to foreign countries, helping people in need.
That sounds fun.
If I do that, will you come with me?
Of course!
What country do you want to visit?
I'd love to see the sea.
Or even a desert.
They say there's a country of talking dogs in the desert.
I definitely want to go there!
-But… -But…
maybe we shouldn't travel together anymore.
Falin, why not?
You don't have to worry about me.
Goodbye, Laios.
Laios, are you okay?
I stopped the bleeding for now.
Just hold on a bit longer.
I'll go look for the other two and for your leg!
"Don't worry about me"?
Don't say sad stuff like that.
I promise to bring you back.
Hey!
Chilchuck!
Senshi!
There you are!
Thank goodness!
Are you okay?
Of course, not.
I need to work on my defense magic more.
At least we haven't suffered any ruptures, so that's good enough.
Tronsum Lunaae Stantinus Eurekant Oonzu.
Ow!
Isn't he in more pain now?
When a serious injury is healed quickly, you experience recovery pain.
Don't worry!
It's a sign that you've healed properly!
It's your turn, Senshi.
I'm fine. I'll heal on my own.
It could take months.
Falin was skilled at recovery magic,
but I'm pretty confident in my speed as well.
T-That's the cause of the pain, isn't it?
GAAAAAAH
SNAP POP
Laios!
Come on, lift your leg.
Britrayeums Lunae Actum Asbam Histum Eres Eurekant Ounzu.
It reattached!
The inside of my leg feels itchy.
It's recovery pain.
Well done, Laios.
You really defeated the Red Dragon.
It's thanks to all of you.
If any one of you weren't here, we couldn't have won.
For a moment, I was afraid of what might happen.
Even my blood froze.
Our estimate was a little too naive.
Well, we won, so that's all that matters.
But…
Here, Laios.
Kensuke.
I still haven't forgiven you for this yet.
You owe me a long explanation.
Right.
Well then, let's look inside its stomach.
What a thick skin.
Fighting with this cooking knife,
no wonder we couldn't even reach its subcutaneous fat.
But it's going to be a lot of work getting to its stomach.
I could try blasting it open.
The insides of a dragon are no different from any other creature.
Let's slowly carve through its flesh.
It's one of its ribs.
Let's go around it and keep digging.
It's dark. Should we light a lantern?
No fire.
Marcille, light.
It's so hot.
It reminds me of when I used to work in a mine.
What's this?
It's the stomach!
All right.
Let's open it.
It's empty.
It can't be…
Maybe we got the wrong dragon.
That's impossible.
The scar above its eye confirms it's the same dragon.
It's difficult to imagine there being multiple territorial males in one area.
Let's examine its intestines as well.
N-Not even a fragment of a bone is left.
We have to examine its droppings, too!
Could its digestion have been sped up by constant movement without sleep?
I got it!
What is this?
A mass of hair and bone.
Some creatures that ingest their prey whole
tend to regurgitate indigestible parts.
But instead of doing that, Red Dragons use them as fuel for their fire breath.
These black hairs suggest it consumed a few Wargs.
And…
H-Hair…
Could it be…
Let's sift through the mass.
We might find human bones in it.
Hey, isn't this staff…
Hey, Laios!
This staff!
F…
Falin?
