The strengthening camp for the villagers was being held in the core dungeon.
I had set up a camping chair at the entrance, basking in the sun while acting as the supervisor… and that’s when it happened.
“…………!” Tug tug.
“Oh, it’s you, Konohamaru-kun.”
He was one of the Vegetable Familiars, and not long ago, he had been serving as my body double.
Konohamaru-kun was pulling at my legs in a panic. He must have come to fetch me for something urgent.
“Let’s go, can you lead the way?”
He hopped onto my shoulder and pointed decisively towards the village.
“Lisia-chan, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m stepping out for a bit.”
“Eh? Mother Mika!?”
I was about to call for Merlin from the box, but Felmaa appeared instead.
“Why are you so eager to come out…?”
“Let’s go!”
“Understood!!!!”
Felmaa lifted me up and soared through the sky. Following Konohamaru-kun’s directions, we arrived at our destination…
“What’s that? A huge… dragon?”
To the south of the Town of Averell, a massive dragon loomed in the distance.
And beneath its feet…
“! Rita!”
Rita and the other Twilight Dragons lay collapsed. The only one still standing was Hermes, the former vampire and now a powerful sorceress.
Even Hermes looked battered, panting heavily.
“Kwahahahaha! A mere human could never stand against this Wyvern King…!”
～～～～～～
Wyvern King
【Race】Ancient Dragon
【Level】500
～～～～～～
To me, it was just a weakling. However, the Twilight Dragons, even after consuming food from another world, were only around level 300.
It was no wonder they couldn’t win.
The Wyvern King resembled a gigantic wyvern, towering at about 50 meters.
It was enormous, with tough, gray scales.
“Burn in my azure flames!”
The Wyvern King unleashed a torrent of blue flames from its mouth, targeting Rita and the others. Not if I could help it.
“[Complete Deletion (Uninstall)]”
I aimed my smartphone’s camera at the Wyvern King. This was a derived skill of the Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet): Complete Deletion.
The data of the object captured by the camera was completely erased. The blue flames shot forth and then… poof! They vanished.
“Wha—!? You erased my strongest and most powerful flames!? Who dares!?”
Felmaa descended to the ground.
“Do you know who this person is? The supreme deity reigning over this world! It is none other than the magnificent Nagano Mika! Show some respect! Stand down!!”
Ignoring the antics of the foolish dog playing pretend, I turned my attention to the fallen Rita and the others.
…Their skin was charred.
Their flesh was carbonized.
Healing them was my top priority.
I retrieved the Azure Dragon’s Water, the essence of all things, from the box and poured it over them.
“Sorry for being late.”
“You have no need to apologize, my lady! It is our… our own inadequacy…!”
Rita and the others looked regretful.
Meanwhile, Hermes glared at the enemy.
“We were not weak! It’s just… the opponent was too strong. Level 500…”
“Indeed. It’s only natural that you, at around level 300, couldn’t compete.”
Hermes tilted her head in confusion, saying, “Huh…?”
“What do you mean… ‘around 300’? You see, once you reach three digits…”
Just then…
“““Mika-rin-samaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”””
With a thud thud thud thud, the fifty villagers I had trained rushed in from the Town of Averell, their faces fierce with determination.
“Everyone…”
Lisia-chan was being princess-carried by Daguko, soaring through the air (Daguko could fly when draped in the Celestial Robe).
“Everyone! That’s the enemy! Now is the time to unleash the power you’ve been trained in by Mother! Show no mercy!”
“““Oh!”””
First… Grandpa Ushika stepped forward.
“Fuhh!”
He had always been muscular, but now he looked even bigger. In his hands was a farming fork.
“I’ll be the first to strike! Fuhh, hurrah!”
Grandpa Ushika hurled the fork with all his might at the Wyvern King.
“Hmph. A mere human farming tool could never scratch the hard scales of the Wyvern King…”
Slash…!
“Ugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
“What did you just say!?”
The Wyvern King’s right shoulder was gouged. The once-flying beast plummeted to the ground, injured.
“Whaaaaaat!? You… you actually wounded an Ancient Dragon! What’s going on!?”
Hermes was astonished.
But to me, it was no surprise.
“Well, that’s because Grandpa Ushika’s level is also 500.”
“Whaaaaaat!? 500!?”
Why was everyone so shocked…? (← Level ∞)?
“The lizard has fallen! Everyone, attack!”
With a bang, Grandpa Ushika, Grandma, and the children all swarmed the Wyvern King.
“I’ll go first!”
Grandma Sweeper, who used to be a cleaner, wielded a small dagger (a legendary item).
“Kyoeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Slash!
“Wha—!? She just sliced off the gigantic wings of the Wyvern King with a single knife strike!?”
“What incredible speed! That’s truly… the movement of an assassin!”
An assassin…? No, no. Grandma Sweeper is just an ordinary cleaning lady… she said she used to be a cleaner…
“Now it can’t fly away! Keep attacking!”
““““Wooooooh!””””
Grandpa Ushika led the charge, and the trained villagers began to pummel the Wyvern King…
“Hey, Mika!?”
Hermes stood up and shook my shoulder.
“What’s going on!? Just ordinary villagers are overwhelming a level 500 Wyvern King!?”
“Well, it seems I might have made them a bit too strong.”
“Made them strong…!? What did you do!?”
“I just assessed their potential, equipped them with legendary weapons, had heroic spirits teach them combat techniques, and then had them run through dungeons a few times…”
“That’s not just a little enhancement!”
In no time at all, the villagers had defeated the Wyvern King.
Hermes knelt down.
“We… we S-rank adventurers couldn’t even touch the Wyvern King, and yet you defeated it so quickly…”
It seemed I had wounded her pride.
Just then…
“What are you playing at, Wyvern King?”
A hole opened in the sky.
Was that… a Gate?
From the Gate emerged a small dragon.
At first glance, it looked human. It stood on two legs and resembled a lizardman from a manga…
The villagers knelt as if something heavy had landed on their shoulders.
“What… what is this?” “What pressure is this!? “A tremendous wave of power!”
Pressure?
A wave of power?
I didn’t feel anything at all…?
“It seems you all have been bullying my pet.”
“Wha—!? That terrifying Wyvern King was your pet!?”
Terrifying?
Was it really?
“That magical power… you… you can’t be…! A demon!?”
As Hermes shouted, the villagers’ faces turned pale.
～～～～～～
Demon Race
→ A higher species with vast magical power and aura manipulation skills. Each possesses unique abilities.
～～～～～～
“Impossible!? A demon!?”
“The demons were supposed to be banished to another dimension by the Bag Demon!?”
What’s this Bag Demon…?
“With the Bag Demon and the Great Demon of Divine Eyes gone, now is the perfect opportunity to invade the human realm again! I sent the Wyvern King as my vanguard…!”
“““What!?””
The villagers gasped in shock.
Ah… I felt like I was losing track of the conversation.
For now, it seemed this person wasn’t very friendly towards humans…
“Eek!” “How terrifying!” “It’s all over for us…!”
“Um—”
While the villagers trembled in fear, I approached the demon.
“Hmm? What do you want…?”
“I am the guardian deity of this territory!”
Grrrrrrrrrr! Felmaa growled, intimidating the demon.
Yet the demon showed no signs of fear.
Even facing an opponent with a level of 2000, it seemed quite confident.
“Guardian deity? That woman over there?”
“Well, yes.”
“Let me assess you. Hmph, it’s probably nothing of consequence, Orolorolorolorol!”
The demon knelt down and began to tremble.
“Eek! How terrifying! It’s all over for us…!”
Suddenly, the demon started to show signs of fear…
“What an enormous presence! There’s no way I could handle something like this! Waaahhhhhh!”
…It’s amusing how the formidable Demon Race that was exuding an air of dominance just moments ago has suddenly turned into a frightened child.
“Wow!” “As expected of Mika-sama!” “To make the Demon Race tremble in fear!” “She truly is the Guardian Deity of Dead End!”
From the depths of the bag, the demon emerges, “The Hero of the Bag’s Relaxing Journey in Another World.”
