After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

"What's going on? City Lord Weiss!"

"Where's the dragon? What happened to Master Murphy?"

"..."

"..."

"Shut up!"

Westom took control of the situation for the second time, this time using wind magic to amplify the sound.

Then, he spoke in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Master Murphy... he might be in danger now."

"Those who just came back, pack up your weapons."

"Let's go find Master Murphy."

"We also want—"

“Stay here!”

After Westden finished speaking, he opened the door and left with the people who had just returned.

However, just as they reached the entrance, a human with gray hair and beard and a pure black eye patch ran down the spiral staircase.

"Hey, long time no see, Lord Weiss."

"...Gerald?"

The human who ran down was Old Jed.

Lord Weiss looked at him irritably, then said.

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't have time to drink with you now, get out of my way!"

Westdom ran straight upwards, but was blocked by Old Jed.

He was about to get angry, but he heard Old Jed's soothing words.

"I don't have any other intentions. I just came to investigate what happened in the maze."

"You don't want to break the agreement, do you?"

"Tsk! What are you talking about?"

"Damn it, there's no time."

"You come with us, and I'll tell you on the way."

"Well, it seems you really don't have time."

After hearing what Old Jed said, Westden smacked his lips, then asked Old Jed to follow them up.

There are three reasons.

First, he really didn't have time to waste on this cunning old thief.

Secondly, taking Old Jed along can help keep an eye on him and prevent him from harming the group of monsters hiding on the fifth floor that do not have much combat power.

The third reason is that this cunning old man is actually very powerful and may be able to help Lord Murphy.

As for why he was not afraid of Old Jed attacking him from behind.

This is because, although they were enemies at the beginning, and this human was a despicable thief.

But later on, they became friends who could drink and chat together.

It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a long time, maybe four years, maybe five years.

After seeing Old Jed nod, Westdenm led the monsters directly up the spiral staircase.

And Old Jed followed closely behind them.

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

Murphy ran towards the gate, with the dragon still chasing him closely.

At this moment, Murphy suddenly stopped running and cursed.

"Damn it."

The giant dragon had fallen from the sky, and the surrounding soil was splashed up, and a loud "bang" was heard.

But this time, it didn't fall towards where Murphy was.

It landed directly at the city gate, blocking Murphy who wanted to run into the city with Candice.

Looking at Murphy's solemn expression, the dragon seemed a little proud, and a mocking sound began to vibrate in his throat.

The sound sounded somewhat similar to the human "hehe" sound, but it was louder.

However, it did not launch an attack directly, but just blocked the door.

It plans to wait and see what this human will do next before making any plans.

If this human is still planning to run back, then continue to block the entrance to the fourth level of the maze.

If this human is prepared to fight with me... then I'm really thinking too much.

What threat can a swordsman who has lost his dominant hand and a magician who cannot cast magic pose to it?

"It's indeed the Western Dragon Clan."

'Arrogant and foolish.'

Murphy looked at the dragon that was looking at her with a mocking expression on its face but did not move, and slowly took two steps back.

Then he asked Candice to stand behind him and asked the same question again.

"So now, can you still use magic?"

"I have no idea."

"...That's it."

Murphy said this in a calm tone. After a moment of silence, Murphy smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

"It looks like we're going to die here."

"I never thought I would end up dying with a nasty guy like you."

"You... hate me?"

"Hey, what do you say?"

“…Wu——”

Silence fell again. Looking at Candice who was about to cry, Murphy's heart softened again. It was her modern education that was causing trouble.

Then he spoke softly to comfort her.

"Even though I hate you, but..."

"You are the strongest magician I have ever seen, bar none."

"I hope you can know that you are a truly strong person, completely different from a weak person like me."

"Don't cry anymore. It's not like you at all."

"No, I don't at all—"

However, just when Candice was about to deny it, Murphy seemed to suddenly remember something.

His expression froze for a moment, then he laughed.

Then he spoke, interrupting Candice.

"Before I die, let me tell you a joke. It just came to my mind. It's a very funny joke."

"That's a joke some unicorn told me."

The dragon, which was getting impatient and about to attack, stopped its actions after hearing Murphy's words.

It seemed that it also wanted to listen to the joke told by this human, since it wouldn't affect anything anyway.

But Murphy did not do as it wished, he lowered his voice.

Then he spoke to Candice behind him.

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

I wish you all a happy New Year’s Eve, good health, and abundance every year.

Chapter 34 Candice's Magic

Murphy lowered his voice and then finished telling the not-so-funny joke to Candice behind him.

After telling this joke, Murphy raised his voice again and laughed out loud.

"Hey, don't you think they're stupid?"

Although it is not certain whether the dragon only heard this last sentence.

But Murphy had to make sure that even if it heard what she said, it would be incomplete.

Because this is very important.

Candice didn't respond to Murphy's question, but there was a thoughtful expression on her face.

Murphy, who didn't hear any movement, turned her head and nodded slightly after seeing Candice's expression.

Then, he used his left hand, which was still able to move, to pull out the iron sword hanging at his waist.

He glanced at the blade of the sword again and then sighed.

"That dwarf blacksmith seems to have a bad temper. I'm sure he'll scold me when I get back."

"Forget it, I should just treat him to a nice drink when the time comes."

There are some notches and bent areas on the blade of this sword, which are the "wounds" caused by the previous wrestling with the dragon claws.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other behind him.

After hearing this voice, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He knew what was inside Candice's gray robe; he had seen it before.

Then, he strolled up to the dragon without any threat and gently swung his sword with his unaccustomed left hand.

The dragon just watched his movements without any defense, as it knew very well that this did not pose any threat to it.

Sure enough, the sword lightly chopped on the dragon's scales, but not even a decent scratch appeared.

After seeing that his attack did not cause any effective damage, Murphy seemed to give up on himself.

He lowered his head and then slowly backed away.

He retreated to his original position, blocking Candice behind him.

And from the dragon's throat, the same low vibrating sound as before came out again.

It mocked the man's death throes.

This proud yet foolish dragon saw this weak performance.

I have completely forgotten the fact that I have suffered losses at the hands of this person.

"What a joke, you're just a piece of trash."

"You chased me for a long time but didn't kill me, and I even slashed you with a knife. What are you if you say you are not a waste?"

"It's not a dragon, it's just a slightly larger lizard with wings."

When Murphy heard the dragon's laughter, she raised her head.

Then, he used some vulgar words that he would not have used before to insult it.

After cursing, even the depression in his heart from past and present lives seemed to dissipate a little.

Sure enough, swearing is also a good way to relieve stress.

The dragon stared at Murphy with its angry eyes.
