He did not look behind him, but continued to calm his mind and concentrate on fighting the dragon claw.

"Eh?"

There was a questioning voice behind her, but Murphy could no longer care.

Because the dragon also took action.

It looked at the human who suddenly appeared under its claws with some confusion.

But then, it revealed an evil expression, mobilized all its strength and stepped down hard.

Murphy's knees bent even more, and it seemed as if she was about to fall to the ground.

The pain from his shoulder, which had probably been shattered long ago, almost made him faint.

He used all his strength to tilt the sword slightly, causing the dragon claw on the sword to slide to the ground.

"Bang!" The ground shook when someone stepped on it, but Murphy didn't care.

He turned around, quickly put the sword back into the scabbard, and then used his left hand, which was still able to move, to hold Candice under him.

Then he ran towards the entrance to the fourth level of the maze.

"This thing is so light."

Candice's petite body made it easy for Murphy to run with her.

Behind him came the roar of a giant dragon and the sound of the earth shaking.

It's the dragon, it's chasing us.

"Are you, my hero?"

"Ah?! Are you kidding me?!"

When Murphy heard Candice's question, she almost couldn't help but throw her down to feed the dragon.

Candice under him seemed a little anxious after hearing his words, and she moved her body slightly.

Being not good at socializing, she thought Murphy was very angry, so she quickly opened her mouth to explain.

"No... I'm not..."

"I didn't...mean that. I meant...I meant."

Candice, who rarely communicates with others, couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Her face was wrinkled with anxiety, and she looked like she was about to cry because of her own uselessness.

'Why couldn't I talk to more people back then?'

"If I could communicate with more people, I wouldn't be like this now."

"I can't even utter a word. Ugh... How embarrassing, especially in front of this gentleman."

Candice had never hated her past self as much as she did now, the self who only knew how to study magic all day long.

Then she continued speaking, she still wanted to explain to Murphy that she didn't mean that.

"I am----"

"So annoying! What do you mean you are and I am?"

"Shut up!"

"I'm still running away with you. If you make any more noise, I'll throw you down."

"..."

Murphy was a little annoyed by Candice's intermittent speech.

So he spoke directly, loudly interrupting her before she finished speaking.

"I was abused by this gentleman..."

Candice shuddered and then cried silently.

But she still apologized to the person who saved her.

"Wow, I'm... sorry."

-------------------------------------

"Tsk! This damn dragon is so annoying."

Murphy couldn't help smacking her lips.

At this moment, he had already run to the fourth level of the maze with Candice.

The giant dragon that was chasing him closely had already flown into the sky.

It swooped down from the sky from time to time, trying to trample the two fleeing people to the ground.

"We can only hide on the fifth floor and wait for the hero to come."

After seeing Candice, Murphy knew that her previous guess was probably wrong.

Candice shouldn't have come with the hero.

No, the more likely reason is that the world line has changed.

What he did to avoid the tragedy of his previous life had actually already changed the future.

It was like this with Ella before, and it is like this with Candice now.

"Hey, who are you with?"

"what?"

"Ah what? I asked who you came with."

Murphy took a step forward while running, avoiding the dragon's claws, and then asked Candice under her.

But she seemed to be distracted and didn't hear clearly, so Murphy repeated it again in a bad mood.

"I am... with that——"

"boom!"

The sound of a giant dragon falling to the ground came from behind.

The voice interrupted Candice, who still couldn't speak a complete sentence.

She trembled a little, a little scared.

But this time, Murphy didn't get angry with her, but spoke in a calm tone.

"Just say the name."

"...Mr. Gerard."

"Old Jed? What about the others?"

"Well... keep it short."

Murphy was worried, so she added another sentence.

"Get lost."

This time, Candice said it easily.

After all, she had always spoken like this, and this habitual way of speaking made her feel relieved.

"Do you know the reason?"

"do not know."

"Can you still use magic?"

"..."

This time, Candice remained silent and did not answer.

Murphy stopped asking questions and just nodded to indicate that she understood.

Then, he ran forward with full concentration.

He had already seen the city gate.

Chapter 33 Joke

"Why are you back? Where's Master Murphy?"

"Yes, Mei—"

"Stop arguing! I have something to say!"

"Close the door first!"

Westenmu and several monsters have now arrived at the fifth floor of the maze.

After the huge door was opened, the monsters inside came over and asked about the situation.

But they were only halfway through their conversation when they were interrupted by Westenmu.

Afterwards, he briefly explained to the surrounding monsters what happened on the fourth floor.

And the plan proposed by Murphy.

"Then we must hold this place well and wait for Master Murphy to return."

"Yes, we can't let Master Murphy down."

"..."

"..."

"You guys keep a close eye on me. I'm going to check on Lord Enoch."

"Yes! City Lord Weiss!"

Listening to the chattering of the monsters around him, Westenmu gave an order.

He then walked to the platform in the room, where there was a unicorn in a coma being cared for by a Warcraft doctor.

Those combat-capable monsters gathered behind the door, waiting for the upcoming battle.

-------------------------------------

"What's going on? Why is there no movement?"

"Lord Weiss! What's going on?"

"The dragon didn't come!"

The group of monsters waited behind the door for a long time, but heard no movement.

Slowly, they began to communicate in low voices, and then asked their questions to Lord Weiss.

Hearing the questions from the surrounding monsters, Westenmu's face turned a little ugly.

"This dragon's target is definitely you, there's no doubt about that."

"..."

"I'll help you block it first. You guys hurry to the fifth level of the maze."

"..."

"..."

"I won't sacrifice my life for a bunch of damn monsters like you."

He remembered what Murphy had said before.

As the wisest mayor of Enoch City, he quickly guessed the reason for the current situation.

'Lord Mephi...'

"What kind of character is this person that the goddess has chosen? Shouldn't I know that clearly?"

'Why didn't I see that?'

"Why do I accept the idea that the dragon is coming for us?"

"Damn it, the most intelligent monster, this is the most stupid thing."

The monsters who did not receive a response from Westom began to panic again.
