Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

As you travel along the Crimson Dragon Mountains, you may occasionally see a Crimson Dragon flying overhead.

That was the being hailed as the strongest demon in the Central Continent.

They operate in units of hundreds or thousands, and each individual is quite powerful.

Even the weaker of the seven great powers could not withstand the attack of the Crimson Dragons.

In my past life, I once defeated the Departed Dragon head-on.

But if the target is the Crimson Dragon Swarm...

Even fully armed, I wouldn't dare say I have a sure chance of winning.

However, Alice was quite excited.

"Rudeus, let's go and hunt down the Crimson Dragon together sometime when we have the time!"

Alice said with great interest.

"A lone dragon is fine, but a large group of red dragons... let's forget about it."

"Tch, Rudius is such a coward."

Hey!

This is not cowardice!

They have self-awareness!

……

then.

Four months passed after departing from the Kingdom of Xilong.

I tried to be as relaxed as possible.

I stood at the entrance to the [Red Dragon's Jaw].

time.

location.

I have already confirmed it.

So……

Orsted.

I'm coming to see you!

87. Turning Point (Part 1)

The lower jaw of the red dragon.

This is a valley with only one path leading forward.

This area is located between national borders and does not belong to any country; it is similar to the high seas.

In other words.

Two people walking on this road, facing each other.

We will inevitably meet.

"Alice."

"What's wrong, Rudeus?"

Perhaps because she was almost home, Alice's steps were unusually light.

This is in stark contrast to my mood.

"Take this."

As I said this, I handed Alice a letter.

"Hmm? Is this letter intended for someone?"

"No, this is for you."

"Eh?"

Alice tilted her head, a look of confusion on her face.

"Rudius is acting strangely. Why doesn't he just say what he wants to say?"

"There are some things that I feel embarrassed to say out loud."

"Well……"

Alice pouted, intending to open the envelope.

I placed my hand on it.

"Not now."

"Huh? When will it be open?"

"You'll know when the time comes."

When I die.

That's what I was thinking.

I cannot guarantee that my meeting with the Dragon God will go smoothly.

As I said.

The Dragon God is a combat power beyond the norm.

Without my magical armor, I am no match for him.

It might cause harm.

But in the end, he will definitely be the winner.

I want to avoid becoming his enemy.

But what if something unavoidable happens...?

This letter.

That's my will.

Well.

Although the topic sounds rather heavy.

However, Alice didn't seem to think about it in that way at all.

A blush rose to her cheeks as she carefully tucked the letter into her bosom.

Oh yeah?

It looks like...

Could she have mistaken that for a love letter?

……

then.

that's it.

We stepped into the red dragon's jaws and began our journey.

time.

location.

Everything has already been confirmed.

Looking back now, I realize I made a lot of preparations for this moment.

Success or failure hinges on this one move.

"Alice, there's something I need to tell you first."

"what happened?"

"We might meet a really scary guy later."

"Well?"

"How should I put it... it's like when you first see Rigd Rudd, you'll instinctively feel fear."

I used people around me as examples.

"Rudy is trying to tell me not to act rashly, isn't he?"

"That's probably what it means."

"No problem! If it's a situation like Rachel Rudd's..."

Alice is already quite experienced.

Even if it looks scary.

But it could also be a curse.

Clearly, Rachel Rudd was a gentle person who liked children.

Even though I had heard of Raji Rudd's legend long ago.

But you'll still be startled when you first meet him.

That's pretty much the idea.

“Since Rudius said it, it must be true.”

Alice said in a relaxed tone.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
