Chapter 197 - Let's Examine the Dragon Horns
◎ Deidona City, Adventurers Guild Office
「Ha, hahahaha . . . 」
Benzel laughed dryly inside the Adventurers Guild office .
His current duty was to take command of the entire city . Since the feudal lord had died, someone needed to communicate with the residents and move around for various things . He was organizing things by himself, so he would have to immediately go out again . But he laughed . The war situation report he had received was absurd; things were going almost too well .
「I was nervous when Louise-san glared at me this morning, but I'm guessing she knew this level of battle success would happen, so it seems I was being tested from the beginning . 」
That was about the exchange with Louise when he made his request to Kazane to save Deidona City . Benzel had certainly been aware that he was asking for something unreasonable, but that had led to this result . The girl called the Ogre Killing Princess seemed to be comparable to an army .
「It might be best to consider somehow giving her a rank S title . 」
Benzel said . Rank S adventurers weren't simply one rank higher than rank A adventurers . Rank S was a title given to those who could achieve tactical level results alone through any method, whether from simply being strong or having some kind of special ability . It was sometimes disparaged as a collar or marking, but for certain things it gave power equivalent to a Guildmaster .
And unlike other ranks, there was no promotion test to rank S . It could only be given at the recommendation of Guildmasters from several countries .
Benzel thought he should probably contact the Guildmasters in Minshiana and Tsuvara . With the thought that he should start the arrangements with the staff downstairs, he rose from his chair, which is when he noticed a boy was in front of the door .
「You are……?」
Benzel looked at the boy with a dumbfounded expression . It was a dark-eyed young boy with black hair .
And that was the last thing Benzel saw in this world .

「Fuu, that was dangerous!」
Kazane said while catching her breath .
She had cut through the swarm of Dragon Bears with『Crawling Lightning』 . Dozens of Dragon Bears were killed from being run over and sent flying, but as might be expected, Hippomaru-kun's momentum was weakened by the tyranny of numbers . She was able to somehow recover and start running again, and now she was breaking away .
She confirmed that she wasn't being chased by any Dragon Bears with her Circlet of Wisdom, so her safety was secured for the time being .
「Is cutting through as difficult as might be expected with that number? It might have been dangerous if these hadn't evolved . 」
So saying, Kazane looked at the brutal Black Rock Dragon horns protruding forward from the left and right sides of Hippomaru-kun . The appearance of those horns was now extremely different . They were thinner, flatter, and sharper than before . Furthermore, the tips of the left and right horns now met, and it looked like a giant arrowhead was protruding from Hippomaru-kun . Monster materials evolved from battle experience . Apparently that also applied to the Black Rock Dragon horns .
And the level of the Thunder Chariot that Hippomaru-kun was pulling had also risen . It became more streamlined overall, and the wheels became sturdier and thicker . It was also bigger, yet it seemed the Magic Power consumption remained the same .
But the biggest evolution from the level up wasn't on the outside . The interior was more extravagant . There was a hanging chandelier, the decorations were more refined, it was equipped with an air-conditioning magic tool, and the material and quality of the seats themselves seemed to be one step higher .
(I wish it had become more specialized for battle)
Kazane thought, but in any case, the Thunder Chariot that had already been satisfactory was now flourishing . The Magic Power consumption was also unchanged, so there was nothing to complain about .
Then Kazane decided to check the state of the battlefield using the Remote Viewing of her Circlet of Wisdom .
(Yumika and the others are fighting in front of Deidona City as planned? The mass production stone throwing team is also moving in balance to avoid being crushed by the waves of monsters . )
Everything was going as planned .
「But the enemies are more densely packed than I thought . Should I only do one more『Crawling Lightning』before joining Tiara and the others?」
Contrary to her expectations, the Dragon Bears were heading forward without fearing death . Based on that situation, Kazane thought the likelihood that they were being controlled seemed high . And the controlling master seemed to be the huge black monster at the center of the swarm of Dragon Bears, but crushing it solo like the Immortal Monkey seemed difficult . Even with『Crawling Lightning』, cutting through to the center of the swarm and defeating the black monster was probably impossible .
In that case, she should whittle down the number of enemies, and Kazane aimed at a relatively thinly packed group and once again made Hippomaru-kun start running .

「You guys, protect the Tatsuyoshi-kuns!」
All members of Swordfish responded in unison to Glorias' yell as they battled against the swarm of Dragon Bears . As they put their lives on the line, 10 Flame Knights and 6 Crystal Golem Knight-sans were arranged to protect them, and they were also putting up a good fight . It was only to the degree of obstructing the Dragon Bears, but it seemed they were extremely useful as shields that wouldn't collapse if they were struck or bathed in flames .
And behind them, the mass production models Tatsuyoshi-kun A and B were industriously throwing stones, and the number of Dragon Bears was reliably being diminished . Four Knight-sans were transporting stones, and Tiara, Louise, and Jinrai were standing next to the mass production Tatsuyoshi-kuns .
「Tiara . Your sensitivity is high, so stay with minimum feedback . There's no need for delicate control in this situation . Remember that continuing to operate is the most important thing . 」
「Yes . 」
