<h4>Chapter 321: Bad feeling</h4>


    I have a bad feeling about it.......


    If we beat the devils ck and blue, then they won''t n against us any longer.


    It certainly will be so...... but...... for some reason, I can''t wipe that bad feeling away.


    I had no idea what to do, so I was preparing the withdrawal of the rescued people.


    Dosoon


    A strange sound is heard, the ground shook, and at the same time, a 『Deep bass』 rang.


    「Seiji-sama, is it an 『Earthquake』?」


    Elena is worried.


    But this is not an earthquake. I’m Japanese, and I am ustomed to being shaken by earthquakes.


    Immediately after that, there is a rattling sound and something copsed!


    「Seiji-sama! That is!」


    Looking at where Elena is pointing.......


    The mountain with the devil''s town copsed and arge number of rocks, earth and sand flowed down, raising a dust cloud.


    「What is that!」


    Is it a new attack from the devils? No, no, they were not able to reach here even when thendslide was caused.


    I checked the footage of the 【Tracking Beacon】 which I left behind in the devil′s town, but because of the sand dust, the situation cannot be confirmed.


    Gaーーーーーーa!!!


    Out of the dust, a heavy bass sounded like something crying. It sounds like a voice I often heard in monster movies....... But still, it was quite low.


    「Se, Seiji-sama, ah, that voice......」


    Elena is very scared.


    OK, I will pat her head to calm her down.


    And, for some reason not only Elena, but everyone who was in the scene was shaken violently, and even some of them are unable to stand properly.


    What does this mean?


    I tried 【Appraisal】 on the state abnormality called 『Fear』. Perhaps...... was the 『Deep bass』 from just before something like a 【Skill】?


    Finally, the dust cloud settled down.


    And...... from that dust cloud.......


    A huge 『Dragon』 appeared.


    「Se, Seiji-sama!!」


    Elena, who saw it, was so scared that she clung to me. Impossible. The size of that dragon. I wonder if it’s about 15m?


    In size, it''s bigger than the Goblin King. The sound of a little while ago might have been the cry of this dragon.


    And does the cry have the ability to let people feel 『Fear』?


    Right now, the distance with the dragon is far away.


    But the next moment the dragon red towards us and released its breath.


    Ah, it''s dangerous.


    The 【Attack expectation range】is disyed to involve all of us.


    On the spur of the moment, I put up a huge dome-shaped【Barrier】to surround everyone.


    「Kyaaa, Seiji-sama!!!」


    Along with Elena′s scream, we were wrapped in mes.


    It looked like andscape looking upward from the bottom of a flowing river. Well, what is flowing right above us is not 『Water』 but 『Fire』.


    If I was a few seconds toote to put up the barrier, then everyone would be engulfed by the mes.......


    That dragon, I won''t forgive it!


    When the mes cease half of us have fainted, while the remaining ones can''t stand anymore because of nk surprise.


    Elena, Aya, Hilda and Mai-san are barely able to move. Nheless, everyone is scared.


    「Ni, Nii-hyan......」


    Aya also got scared and clung to me. She is too frightened so she won''t be able to fight.


    Well...... I wonder if I will be the only one fighting this dragon.


    「Aya, Elena, listen, ask Hilda and Mai-san together to evacuate everyone」


    「Ni, Nii-chan, wh, wh, wh, what will you do?」


    「Of course I''m going to defeat that dragon」


    「Impossible! Nii-chan will die!」


    It might be because of the abnormal state of 『Fear』 that Aya is freaking out.


    「I won''t die. Leave this to me, Aya. You will go ahead」


    「Not good, don''t go Nii-chan」


    That? I tried to calm her down, but Aya was still afraid. Why did I think that she would say that?


    Whatever.


    「Elena, please take care of Aya」


    「No--Nii-chan!」


    While receiving the heartbreaking cry of Aya from behind, I′m the only one who is confronting the dragon.


    I started running towards the dragon.


    ----------


    I tried 【Appraisal】 once again on the dragon and after all that cry was a 【Skill】.


    【Dragon′s roar】Inflicts 『Fear』 on those who are lower level than itself.


    Aya and Elena were affected by this.


    In other words, I haven''t been affected by 『Fear』 because I''m stronger than this fellow.


    However, from where did this dragon spring out?


    It''s out of the question that this fellow was kept by the devils.......


    When this fight ends, shall I rewind the image of the 【Tracking beacon】 that I ced in the devil′s town?


    Right now, I''m standing alone in front of an 15 m tall dragon.


    「Hey Lizard, do you realise that it''s a crime that you scared Aya and Elena」
