Chapter 512.2
I asked something else to change the topic.
“How long do you think it will take to complete?” (Yuki)
“If it’s based on our current progress, the stadium should be finished in two months. It will take some more time to improve and develop its surroundings, but rest assured that by the time the event starts, we’ll have everything we need.” (Dwarf King)
“Oh, that’s great. If you run into any problems, please let me know. I will try to solve it as soon as I can, but well, I’m just a decoration emperor, so there might be problems that I won’t be able to solve on my own. If it’s a personal request though, I’ll help you directly.” (Yuki)
“…Enne will help you as well. I will help if Uncle thinks that I can help.”
“Gahhhh, the Demon King aside, with Young Lady Zaien’s help, I’ll be invincible.” (Dwarf King)
“Oh, so you are saying that you don’t want the help of this Demon King?” (Yuki)
“I don’t want to imagine a situation where I’ll need your help, seriously.”
Well, I guess so.
If it came to a point where he had to go to the trouble of personally asking me to solve a problem, then that would mean that something pretty crazy had happened.
I shrugged my shoulders with a wry smile, and then continued our talk.
“Oh, this stadium, when it’s finished, you are free to name it Doda Stadium, you know?”
After all, the Dwarf King was literally doing his best, in every way, even in the design of the building.
Using his name to call this stadium would be fitting.
“Oh, thanks, but we already have a name for it.”
“Oh, really? It was already decided on a name?”
“I’m not going to tell you yet. I’ll reveal it when it’s finished.”
The Dwarf King grinned – and that’s when it happened.
Something strong had suddenly appeared.
It was then followed with my map suddenly opening, then followed by a scream.
Enemies.
[shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!]
[boaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!]
There were two loud, earth-shaking roars.
I turned my head in the direction of the presence, and immediately, the figure was reflected in my field of vision.
Race: Sea Serpent
Level: 87
Race: Krull Tartus
Level: 91
The figures appeared in the center of the stadium under construction.
A snake-shaped monster that resembled my pet Orochi, and a tortoise-shaped monster with a vicious-looking face. Neither of them were the most gentle of creatures. Both were huge, about the size of something you would find in the Demon Forest.
Moreover, the tortoise was walking on two legs. Sadly, it was not Gam*ra, you see.
No, that was not the point. I did not care what they looked like.
More importantly.
–Where the heck did these guys come from?
They didn’t appear on my map before – or rather, even without using my map, someone would have surely noticed if monsters of that size were approaching.
To begin with, there was no place in the vicinity where such a huge body could be hidden.
I had also not detected these guys until now.
If that was the case, then these guys probably just appeared there at this moment.
The first way I could think of being able to do this was… Space Magic.
Having that teleportation door of my dungeon made me think that there must be someone somewhere who could use magic that could transfer them.
Someone must have used it to summon these monsters to this place… No, even considering this angle, there were no hostile reactions on the map other than monsters in the stadium. There was no sign of anyone who looked like a magician.
The situation was too complicated to assume anything at this point. Moreover, since I had just gathered all the craftsmen for a break, only a few guards remained in the stadium. So, it was unlikely that monsters were summoned by a person.
I think it was done by using some kind of pre-installed magic that would kick in when certain conditions were met.
“Whoa!?”
“Hiii…?”
The craftsmen screamed and ran for cover. Some of them were ready to fight back with tools in their hands, but others around them rushed to stop them and dragged them away.
…Well, I should think about the reason later.
But still, they were rather powerful monsters.
A group of humans would have a hard time defeating them, even if they fought them with an army.
“…Demon king. I’m sorry, but it seems like we’re going to need your help right away. Can you help us out?” (Dwarf King)
“…Oh, I’ll take care of it. This is in my line of work, Enne.” (Yuki)
“…Nn!” (Enne)
After confirming Enne’s return to sword form, I pulled the sword out of its sheath, and at the same time, three pairs of wings appeared on my back.
I threw the scabbard into my item box, and at the same time, I jumped forward.
I first aimed at the soft-looking sea serpent.
