The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 64

"Linley, it's actually you! This is awesome! ”A excited voice rang out, and a skinny young man started running towards them at high speed. This young man was a thin warrior who had met Linley on his way to the Magical Beasts Range Mountain Range. Of the other two people he met, his classmate Delsarte and the big, burly Kava, both died.

Back then, when facing the magus-fan force of the wind, Linley had utilized the 'Earthen Spear Array' earth-style spell'. The skinny warrior of the fifth rank, Matt, had taken the opportunity to immediately escape. But Linley did not really care that he had escaped. After all, she and Matt had no special relationship.

Honestly speaking, out of the three people he met, the only Linley who really felt friendly towards him was his own classmate, Delsarte. That big fellow, Kava, also made a good impression on Linley. Linley had no special feelings for Matt.

"Oh, it's Matt. I did not expect that the two of us would meet again in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts after a month had passed. "Linley was still quite calm.

Matt looked very excited. “This is amazing. This month, on many occasions, I was almost overrun by the beasts here. Fortunately, my luck is not so bad. Whoah – is it a Bloodthirsty Warpig? Linley, can you kill a bloodthirsty Warpig? You are really great! ”

Linley smiled.

“I'm kind of hungry. I've heard that the flesh of the Warpig Bloodthirsty as well as the Vampiric Iron Bull are both very flavorful, and have a very chewy texture as well. I haven't had lunch. You don't mind sharing Warpig meat with me, do you? "Matt joking.

The bloodthirsty Warpig was extremely large, with its corpse weighing at least several hundred kilograms. Even ten people would not be able to solve everything.

"Of course not . "Linley pulled the knife and began slicing parts of Warpig.

"Linley, there's no need to trouble yourself. This Bloodthirsty Warpig corpse is part of your spoils of war. How can I trouble you to slaughter as well? Let me do it . My baking ability is quite formidable. "Matt immediately headed to Warpig's corpse and pulled the knife from his side.

Playing with a knife, Matt began cutting Warpig's flesh, though he only cut off four legs, a tongue, and a tail. He then began washing these pieces in the nearby spring.

“Bos, he seems to be quite skilled. He doesn't seem to be weaker than you in this. "Little shadowmouse, Bebe, jumped onto Linley's shoulder and mentally said to Linley.

Glancing at the little Shadowmouse, Bebe, on his shoulder, Linley could not help but breath with gratitude. When others saw this tiny little black rat, perhaps they would just think that it was an ordinary little Shadowmouse, a small threat. But in reality …

Linley could still recall how frightening the scene of how the furious Bebe had so easily slaughtered the dark assassin, as well as that 'good-natured' young girl.

“Can't judge a person by his appearance. The same goes for magical beasts. "Linley sighed to herself.

Matt quickly began to arrange his grill, and also pulled some salt and coarse cooking seasonings out of his pockets. "Linley, Warpig's feet are sure to be delicious. His tongue is also soft and fragrant. The taste of the Warpig tail is also quite good. ”

As he spoke, Matt dismembered his tail and tongue into pieces. Linley watched Matt use the flint to ignite the fire, not stepping in to help despite having a fire-style mageforce. He watched Matt quickly and constantly roasted each piece.

After a certain period of time.

"It's about time . Has taste. "Matt was quite enthusiastic about handing over a large piece of Warpig leg meat to Linley.

But in turn, Linley flipped the Warpig meat around and offered it to Bebe. Bebe immediately accepted it happily, and began to pursue in earnest. This Warpig's leg was probably three or four times larger than Bebe's, but in a short period of time, Bebe had completely devoured all the meat.

This sight made Matt gape in wonder.

“He is truly a magical beast. Even a small black Shadowmouse could eat a lot. "Matt sighed while offering a piece of Warpig's tongue to Linley. "Linley, taste my craft. ”

Linley smiled as he refused. "Not needed . I am not used to eating my tongue. Some of that leg meat will be fine. "Linley picked up one of the other legs and started eating without objection. Next to him, Matt laughed. "I won't force you. If you don't want to eat it, I will. Ha ha . ”

As if enjoying himself, Matt begins to eat Warpig's baked tongue and tail.

By the time Linley finished eating Warpig's leg, Matt had never bitten him.

“You're done? Haha, fine then. I'm half full now. I'll save Warpig's legs when I'm hungry. "Matt pulled the oil cloth from his backpack and put Warpig's foot in it, then stuffed the cloth into his backpack.

Linley glanced at Matt.

It seems Matt wants to travel with him.

"Matt, here in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, I trained well myself. Let's split up here. "Said Linley directly.

Matt immediately frowned. "Linley, this place is very dangerous. It would be much safer if we traveled together. To be honest, for the past month, I was terrified during every battle encounter. I can't even sleep well. ”

"Then do what you want. ”

Linley did not mince words. He immediately headed deeper into the mountains, while Matt, smiling, followed him. But when his gaze fell on the backpack that Linley was carrying, a slightly sinister light shone in his eyes.

Matt quickened his pace. Smiling, he said, "Linley, you are truly a pleasant person. Traveling with you, I feel much safer. After all, two people together were much stronger than two people apart. At night, the two of us can take turns sleeping. We don't need to be alert at night. ”

Linley. His gaze was always focused on the surroundings, carefully watching the ferocious beasts in this mountain range.

…

They slowly walked north, as Linley no longer dared to go further east. If they were to travel further east, they would enter a dangerous part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Right now, in this area, Linley would only find magical beasts of the fifth or sixth rank.

Throughout this time, Matt followed by her side, seemingly quite happy.

Two days later .

It was late at night, and the world was dark. Linley and Matt continued forward in a single line file.

"Linley, do you think it's time for us to come back again? Honestly speaking, we have spent quite some time here in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. "Matt said in a soft voice as he followed Linley's footsteps.

Linley just calmly shook his head, not making a sound.

Matt felt a little anger. "Every night, this Linley fellow was very careful. He didn't give me a chance at all. "Matt did not believe in his ability to kill Linley. After all, being able to survive here for so long was proof of Linley's ability.

"Hmm?" Linley seemed to have noticed something special. He turned around and looked at the pile of trees not too far away. Within that grove of trees, there was a hidden and indistinct shadow waiting.

Matt, next to Linley, saw him turn his head, presenting his back to Matt. An expression of greed appeared in Matt's eyes, as well as an expression of excitement. In a practiced manner, Matt suddenly pulled a dagger and without any hesitation at all, stabbed towards Linley's back ….

Linley suddenly turned around and grabbed Matt with his right wrist, which was holding a dagger. At the same time, he looked at Matt coldly. His voice grew colder, he asked, "What do you think you're doing?"

"You!" Matt's shocked. He could not believe that his sneak attempt seemed to have been noticed and blocked.

Matt immediately smiled at Linley instead. “What do I think I do? O mighty genius magius, let me tell you. "Matt is completely confident. With the two of them within such a close range, how could he, a warrior of the fifth rank, be unable to kill magus of the fifth rank?

Matt suddenly exerted some strength with his right arm, and he began to blaze with battle-qi, forcibly releasing Linley's grip.

"Dead!" Matt looked at Linley as he stabbed again at Linley with a dagger.

"Pawr !!!!"

What a scary sound! "What ?!" Matt heard the voice, and he could only shudder. And then, Matt saw a very small black shadow appear in front of him.

"What ... what is this?" Matt could tell that this black shadow was actually the little Shadowmouse, Bebe, who spent every day on Linley's shoulders. The little shadowmouse opened its mouth wide, revealing a mouth full of terrible sharp teeth, and instantly swung towards Matt's face.

"Yetoo-!"

Matt immediately tried to retreat at high speed, while also jerking his head.

"Interests!"

The speed of the small Shadowmouse was much faster than Matt had imagined. How could Matt avoid it? The little shadowmouse reached out its right hand, waving sharp claws like knives at Matt's head. With a single swipe, half Matt's neck was removed from his body, and blood spurted out wildly.

"Urk ... gurgle ..." Grasping one hand to his neck that remained, Matt's eyes were as wide as an ox. His incredulous and terrified eyes were fixed on the little Shadowmouse, and in his heart, he was extremely shocked. “Shadowmouse? Is this Shadowmouse? "

When he falls into death and when his consciousness disappears, Matt is still filled with terror and distrust. He had prepared for so long to make this move, but he had yet to think of the little Shadowmouse into his plan.

Dark-colored Shadowmouse was the weakest level of Shadowmouse.

But at the time of his death, Matt finally realizes that the adorable little Shadowmouse is actually a terrifying monster.

"Thud!"

Matt's hand fell lifelessly from his throat to the side, and then he himself fell as well. His fresh blood stained his clothes and stained the ground.
