220 The other side of the Snowy mountain
To go to the Demon territory from the Human territory, you need to cross a mountain.
I and the Demon King don’t particularly care, but the Vampire Child will die if she gets involved.
So, we will pass through from Human race territory to the Demon race territory in a peaceful manner.
That is crossing a mountain.
Furthermore, it’s a snowy mountain
A tall mountain is in front of my eyes.
I don’t know it’s altitude, but for sure a mountain climber would risk their life climbing it.
I feel that the mountain range is a detour as we climbed.
Hey, this region has a higher risk than the fort in a different sense doesn’t it?
The vampire child won’t die will she?
Are we really okay?
「It’s alright, no problems」
You’re the type who says “It’s okay” about any problem, aren’t you?
Well, if Demon King thinks so, then let’s believe we’re fine.
So! Let’s depart!
Come to think of it, isn’t this the first time I’ve felt cold?
That was warm or rather it was hot.
Are spiders cold?
There’s an impression of me living in a tropical forest like a jungle, I don’t feel like being in a cold area.
Then, we should be fine right?
But, we seem to be not okay.
That reminds me, in the Demon King’s resistance festival, there was no Ice resistance.
It’s useless.
Fuu, compared to me, my counter-measures are perfect.
I wonder what it feels like when worn.
The pile of snow doesn’t matter.
Bliss!
Suffer~ Suffer more!
The suffering of other people is delicious!
「Shiro-chan, you’re enduring quite well, aren’t you?」
Gulp!
T-that’s not true.
「You didn’t wear that coat yesterday right?」
That is, It’s cold so I prepared it.
「Gimme! Give it to me!」
Woah!
What are you doing?!
I desperately defend my coat against the Demon King and we continue along the mountain range.
Was there a village in such a cold land?
Or perhaps I should say, they did well to live here.
Ah, was it because they can’t live here that they abandoned it?
「I see.
Here too.」
The Demon King muttered something, but I didn’t hear her real intention.
We spent one night in the abandoned village.
I took a walk inside the village proper when I woke up the next day.
I was bothered seeing it small and cozy, it seems it’s too small and cramped for an adult.
Would this be a children’s’ village?
I searched around for tools
Just something terribly primitive stuff.
Could this be a primitive children’s village?
I went out to the village outskirts.
A demon plant-like-system
It looks like a typical field for a village, did they raise this?
Are they stupid?
For now, I ate it to destroy it.
Healthy vegetables.
Though I don’t hate mayonnaise, I prefer salad dressing.
Green perilla dressing is my favorite.
Though, I’ve never eaten it before.
I invest my energy in my clone.
The energy maintenance cost has become so large that making a new one is really hard.
I can eat about twenty people’s portions easily.
Sake is great after all.
I recover energy with just a drink.
Since the Demon King woke up, the snowy mountains conquest resumes.
And we continued to walk on a world of ice and rocks where few demons exist.
At that time, there was a shadow coming from the sky.
It was a beautiful dragon with ice scales covering it’s whole body.
It’s different from the earth dragon, it’s an existence called an Ice dragon.
It’s strong.
I developed the Evil Eye of analysis to judge the strength of my enemies.
Even if the soul has a lot of energy, they can still be weak and vice versa.
But, since soul and strength relative to the system is comparatively close, the value of this Evil Eye is worth it.
I used my Evil Eye of Analysis to measure the strength of the dragon, it’s approximately twice as strong as Alaba.
Compared to the earth dragon on the lower layer of Elro Great Labyrinth it’s inferior, but it can be considered as a high-ranking among the demons inhabiting in this world.
The Ice dragon is talking telepathically with the Demon King.
Let’s eavesdrop.
[What is it, Origin Taratect?]
Just passing through.
[Fumu.
[Ah, then.
[I’ll do as you say and won’t do anything.
I don’t want to get in trouble with the Origin Taratect]
The negotiations were done quickly.
It seems he’ll let us through.
But, why is this guy here?
For what reason?
While the Ice Dragon is busy with the Demon King, I summoned some clones.
I want to know the reason why Kuro placed a strong gatekeeper.
There’s something here.
If I find it, I will get a hold of his weakness.
I’ve never thought of Kuro as an ally.
Now, I wonder what you’re hiding.
