The young dragon tries to conquer the world

　It was a high-ranking demon with a massive physique capable of pinning giants to the ground, jet-black skin gleaming with a metallic sheen, enormous bat-like wings, and most striking of all, a pair of ominous horns and sharp teeth.

　"My name is Houst. I am not a super goblin, but a high-ranking demon. I am destined to be enslaved by some brat soon. How was my opening? You are the Crimson Demons, right? This is how you greet each other, isn't it?"

　"Aa ...

　Youyou and Huihui screamed and ran away from Houster. Houster was about to reach out to stop them when he realized that he seemed to have stepped on something soft. Before he could figure it out, a black monster suddenly rushed out and pinned him to the ground. Houster hurriedly turned his head to look. It was a pitch-black monster with no eyes, and its huge black claws firmly pressed him to the ground.

　"Who exactly are you? I am the contractor of the evil god Volbach, a high-ranking demon. You... pfft."

　Before Houster could finish speaking, the Black Devouring Dragon's dark forepaws had already pierced Houster's chest. Houster immediately cast a fireball spell, and a huge fireball spewed out of Houster's mouth. Just when Houster thought the fireball could cause some damage to the Black Devouring Dragon, the dragon's wing claws tore through the fireball spell, pinning Houster firmly to the ground. With a forceful pull from its forepaws, the dragon ripped out Houster's heart.

　Just as Houster was about to retaliate after the excruciating pain, he found himself suddenly lightened. The Black Devouring Dragon had released its restraints. Just as Houster was about to cast a healing spell, the Black Devouring Dragon's dark breath reached him and exploded with a "bang".

　Houster was struck by the breath and coughed up a large amount of foul blood. Before it could react and cast a spell, the Black Corruption Dragon's gaping maw had already severed its neck. Amidst a roar, Houster noticed the food scraps on its feet, and then a venomous, dark purple beam of light struck Houster.

　"So that's what it is. Ha, if it weren't for a stupid, hard-as-tin-plates-like cross knight and a thief in shorts ambushing me, and then being enchanted by a strange woman building walls when I was about to attack Axel, there's nothing I can do. It seems that if things continue like this, one day I will be summoned by that little girl and then be at her beck and call."

　"But that's not bad either."

　Volume 1: 097 - The Defiled Goddess

　The power of a demon mainly comes from its heart. The moment Houst's heart was ripped out by the Black Devouring Dragon, defeat was inevitable. Moreover, the blood of a high-level demon was extremely unpleasant to the Black Devouring Dragon, incomparable to the sweet blood of the Wind Drifting Dragon. She took one sniff and turned her head away, already judging demons to be on par with kitchen waste.

　Houst realized his heart had been ripped out and tried to attack, but the venomous black-purple beam of light had already sent his body back to nothingness. Like Barnier, the Duke of Hell, Houst could not be destroyed in the mortal world; his true form was in Hell, meaning he wasn't completely dead. The heart belonging to Houst, which was on the Black Devouring Dragon's forepaw, slowly slid to the ground. The Black Devouring Dragon lowered its head and sniffed it; indeed, it smelled as foul as demon blood. Truly worthy of being considered kitchen waste, it crushed it into pieces with a stomp of its foot.

　Before waking up, Youyou and Huihui had no idea they would encounter a high-ranking demon. Under pressure, they immediately screamed and fled. They didn't know how far they ran, but just as they were about to reach the edge of the forest, they turned around in unison to make sure the demon wasn't chasing them. They breathed a sigh of relief, but in that moment of distraction, they didn't see the blond knight and silver-haired thief in front of them and crashed straight into them.

　Yoyo bumped into the blond knight, the hard armor making her head buzz. Huihui, on the other hand, bumped into a steel plate—cough cough—Chris, and the pain in her nose almost made her cry out.

　Youyou rubbed her head and looked up, only to see a blonde beauty standing in front of her. Youyou felt that the person in front of her was somewhat familiar at first glance, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before. The blonde knight thought that Youyou was still unconscious and waved her hand in front of her. "I'm sorry, are you alright? Um, I am a Crusader. It must have hurt a lot when you bumped into me. If possible, I would like to take the pain for you."

　"Ah, no, it's okay. Hey, where's Hikaru? Hikaru isn't here. Huihui, is Hikaru with you?"

　Chris, who was standing nearby, pulled Huihui off him and asked her what had happened. "Hey, Hikari, did you get separated from your friends? Did you encounter some kind of terrible monster?"

　“I didn’t bring her with me. She’s always with you, Youyou.”

　"It's not a monster, it's a high-level demon. We were in such a hurry that my sister couldn't escape. I'm sorry, I have to go back right away."

　Although Youyou's head was still a little dizzy, she knew that it was too late when Xiaoguang didn't escape with her. She turned to run, but the blonde female knight suddenly grabbed her arm. Youyou was a little angry, thinking that was a high-level demon. However, the silver-haired thief girl next to her noticed Youyou's anger and resentment and immediately explained, "Her name is Darkness, a high-level professional Crusader. I am Chris, a high-level professional Grand Thief. A few days ago, we also dealt with a demon in this area. That demon was very strong, and we only managed to survive thanks to Darkness's defense."

　“Yes, if it really is that demon, we need to discuss countermeasures in advance. Also, I just noticed a very strong energy fluctuation coming from that direction. If you are going to rescue people, you must be careful.”

　"Xiaoguang is my sister, I have to go and save her."

　Upon hearing what Youyou said, Darkness and Chris were certain that the demon Youyou and Huihui were talking about was the same demon they had beaten up before. Without hesitation, they introduced themselves to each other and immediately returned the way they came.

　Although Youyou and Huihui couldn't remember the original path, the traces left by Huihui's explosion magic were still very obvious, and Chris also keenly sensed that something was wrong.

　"Wait, don't go any further, there's danger ahead."

　"Danger, is that demon lurking nearby? It's alright, my body is tougher than steel. As a female knight, being attacked by a demon... um."

　Before Darkness could finish speaking, Chris immediately blushed and covered Darkness's mouth. The two girls in front of him were as pure as blank sheets of paper, and Chris did not want Darkness's "tainted" soul to pollute them.

　"It's not the demon's fault; there's an ominous smell in the air. We must be careful later."

　Chris released his grip after reminding the others, and Darkness finally regained the right to speak. "Phew, Chris, you could have covered it a little longer."

　Chris didn't refute Darkness's ingenious idea, but raised his hand and pointed ahead, "Right there, be careful."

　When the four arrived at the place where they had first encountered the high-ranking demon, they only saw a pool of black blood on the ground, and the demon was nowhere to be seen. "Fireball!" Chris waved his hand and released a fireball to burn away the remaining blood on the ground. "It looks like there was a battle here. Look at these marks."

　After seeing Chris's size, the other three noticed that there were many claw marks on the ground. Youyou and Huihui spread out to search for the little girl's whereabouts, but they couldn't find her anywhere. There wasn't even a trace of her torn clothes or hair. Youyou immediately became anxious. She had spent the most time with the little girl, and she was more worried than anyone else.

　"Xiao Guang, where are you? Don't scare your sister."

　Youyou called out a few times, and suddenly a rustling sound came from the bushes next to her. The four of them immediately looked in that direction and immediately assumed a guarded posture. Unexpectedly, the cute face of the little girl popped out from the bushes, with a wild rabbit in her mouth.

　"Waaaaah, Hikaru, you scared me to death!"

　"Okay, I won't leave you behind next time." After seeing that the little girl was safe and sound, Youyou immediately went forward and hugged her. Darkness also put her sword back at her waist. Only Chris watched the little girl cautiously.

　"So cute! She's a demi-human! Hey, Yuu, she's eating a raw Ichihito Rabbit! Hikari, spit it out! You can't eat this raw!"

　Yoyo was checking the rabbit trail when she discovered that her backpack had been trampled by a demon, and the candy and other food inside were inedible. "Darkness and Chris, please wait a moment. Huihui and I need to organize the mission log, otherwise the Adventurers' Guild won't approve this mission."

　Darkness wasn't idle either. The little girl watched as Darkness clumsily gutted the rabbit, removed its fur, set up a makeshift grill, and skewered the rabbit with branches. Chris skillfully tossed a small fireball into the woodpile. Darkness wanted to show off her roasting skills to the little girl, but she noticed that the little girl was staring intently at the sizzling, oily rabbit meat. Disappointed, she couldn't help but feel smug.

　Ultimately, the Adventurers' Guild failed to uncover any useful information. The reason and purpose of the high-ranking demon's appearance there remained unknown, and the matter was eventually dropped.

　While Yu-Yu and her companions were enjoying roasted rabbit in the wild, Kazuma and Aqua were struggling against giant frogs on the plains outside the city. They had accepted a mission to subdue five giant frogs within three days—yes, the same mission Yu-Yu had accepted before.

　"Aaaaaaah, save me, Aqua!" Kazuma was still wearing the green tracksuit he had worn when he first arrived in this world, holding a cheap and good-quality longsword recommended by the weaponsmith. Although it met the minimum requirements for an adventurer, Kazuma was being chased around by a giant frog.

　"Pfft, hahaha, this is bad! Kazuma, you're really hilarious right now, running away with your face all red while begging me for help." Aqua was rolling around on the grass clutching her stomach, and Kazuma's clumsy movements made Aqua laugh uncontrollably.

　"I'll bury this guy once this is over," Kazuma thought to himself as he shouted, "Stop standing around laughing! Come and save him!"

　Cleaning up giant frogs is a task that almost every new player in Axel City will have to perform. The damage caused by these giant frogs is not limited to the disappearance of livestock. In fact, every year during the breeding season of these giant frogs, children in the village and people in farmhouses will go missing. However, on the other hand, these giant frogs are very popular as food.

　"Kazuma, it's not impossible for me to save you, but before that, please call me Miss."

　"Aqua-sama~" Kazuma decisively abandoned his principles, but he found that the giant frog changed direction and jumped towards Aqua.

　"There's no other way, so I'll help you out. After all, I'm the goddess, and you're such a shut-in. But as a price, starting tomorrow you have to worship me. When you return to town, you must join the Axis Cult, pray to me three times a day, and when it's time to eat, you can't disobey me when I order food. You have to obediently serve it to me. And that's all."

　Before Aqua could finish speaking, the giant frog was already in front of her, and then it opened its mouth and swallowed Aqua whole.

　Kazuma, looking terrified, ran toward the giant frog with his sword in hand. As the frog's esophagus writhed, Aqua slowly moved toward its stomach.

　"How did you get eaten?"

　After a fierce struggle, Kazuma, kneeling on the grass, panted heavily. "Ha, thankfully, you can't move when the giant frog eats you, haaah."

　Aqua was pulled out of the giant frog's mouth by Kazuma. When she came out, Aqua was covered in slime and crying loudly. When she saw Kazuma, she immediately hugged him. The smelly slime made Kazuma take a step back, but Aqua was faster and had already hugged Kazuma's waist.

　"Thank you, Kazuma, thank you so much."

　Kazuma pinched his nose, trying not to smell the slime, and said cautiously, "Um, let's go back for today. We're no match for it right now. Let's come back after we've packed up our gear."

　“I have been defiled. If the Axis Cult were to see me in this defiled state, their faith would surely be shattered.”

　"Ha~"

　Volume 1: Chapter 98 - One-Hit Wonder and Tall-Nut Aqua

　"If they find out that I just gave up to the frog like this, the reputation of the beautiful and charming Lady Aqua will be ruined."

　Kazuma looked at Aqua with disdain. Memories of working on the construction site kept flooding back. Aqua was the one who sweated alongside the older men; Aqua was the one who looked forward to the good food and drinks after a bath; Aqua was the one who drooled while sleeping in the stable. The thought that such a person would say that he had been defiled made Kazuma almost burst out laughing.

　"Drink up, and experience the power of the gods!" Aqua became more and more agitated as she spoke, angrily running towards the giant frog, shouting, "You who blocked my path and attacked the goddess of water, repent properly in hell!"

　Aqua used the skill, Kamikaze.

　【God Blow】The so-called divine wind is a deadly iron fist carrying the anger and sorrow of the goddess, leaving the opponent with only one option: death.

　"Oh~" Kazuma watched expectantly as Aqua's fist, as big as a casserole dish and burning with flames, struck the giant frog's belly. After the flames subsided, the frog remained motionless. Aqua felt as if the surroundings had become quiet. She had no choice but to force a smile, slowly raise her head, and say, "Actually, looking at it this way, the frog is quite cute, ah."

　Before Aqua could finish speaking, she was swallowed by the giant frog. "What happened, Aqua? You got swallowed again."

　Kazuma had no choice but to take up his iron sword again and kill the giant frog. However, he also learned a pattern: the giant frog would not move when it was eating.

　At the end of the day, Kazuma and Aqua killed two frogs and earned 10,000 Eris. That night, at the Adventurers' Guild, Aqua vented her resentment from the day by frying frog meat, and suggested, "Let's recruit some teammates."

　Unlike the enthusiastic Aqua, Kazuma was calculating the rewards of today's mission. Five thousand Eris for a giant frog—the money earned by risking his life was no different from working on a construction site. Kazuma's enthusiasm for adventure was instantly crushed by reality.

　"Why is it so noisy over there, Kazuma?"

　Kazuma, biting into a piece of fried frog meat, peered over and said, "It's a little girl who just arrived in Axel. She's clearly a child, but she can eat enough food for fifty people. She's become quite famous lately."

　“It’s just fifty servings, I can do that too, Hum.”

　For some reason, Aqua's competitive spirit was ignited, and she vented her daytime humiliation on the fried frog meat on the table, yelling, "Water, give me water!" Unsurprisingly, Aqua choked.

　Kazuma sighed and handed the ale on the table to Aqua. Aqua downed the ale in one gulp, wiped her mouth heartily, and said, "Leave the recruitment of teammates to me. I'm the best at this kind of thing."

　The next day.

　Half a day has passed since Aqua posted the recruitment notice, and Kazuma hasn't seen anyone contact them. Meanwhile, Megumin also came to the Adventurers' Guild looking for a team. Although Yuuyu can support Megumin, Megumin doesn't want to freeload.

　As soon as Huihui walked over to the teammate recruitment notice board, several people immediately surrounded it, as it had previously been ignored. They quickly tore the recruitment notices off the board. Although Huihui disapproved, she understood that each team had the right to do so, so only one recruitment notice remained on the board.

　[Recruiting: Future Hero Candidates]

　A warm and welcoming team, just like home. Adventurers who wish to embark on an adventure with the beautiful and aloof High Priestess Aqua, please come here...

　Although Huihui was very concerned about what the notice said, that the team currently had a rude and weakest class, but also a super beautiful, excellent and powerful high priest, Huihui followed her gaze and saw the familiar black-haired boy and blue-haired girl duo. Huihui often saw these two when she was practicing with other teams or releasing pressure. Huihui couldn't help but feel that teaming up with these two would definitely be very difficult, but Huihui still adjusted her cloak, put on her Crimson Demon aura, and slowly walked up to them.

　Kazuma felt that Aqua shouldn't limit the recruitment criteria to higher-level professions; it was too strict. If things continued like this, no one might come back. Although Aqua was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, she still wanted to explain for the sake of her fragile self-esteem.

　"At this rate, I doubt anyone will come. Although you are a high-ranking priest, I am just the weakest. If I am surrounded by elites, I will have nowhere to go."

　Huihui, feigning aloofness, stood behind the two of them and said, "I've seen the recruitment announcement."

　Suddenly hearing someone speak, Aqua and Kazuma turned around in surprise and saw a little girl wearing a mage's robe.

　"This encounter is the destiny of the world. I have been waiting for people like you to appear. My name is Huihui. I am a great mage and the one who controls the strongest magic, Explosion Magic."

　When Megumin introduced herself, she even secretly lifted her mage robe. Megumin glanced at Kazuma and Aqua out of the corner of her eye and saw their surprised looks. She knew she had taken the right first step.

　Although he found Huihui's self-introduction somewhat difficult to accept, the inspector...

　After checking Megumin's adventurer card, Megumin successfully joined Kazuma's party, and the group then completed the unfinished mission of defeating the remaining three giant frogs.

　"Explosion magic is the strongest offensive magic. While I'm casting it, please help me hold off that frog."

　Megumin pointed to the frog ahead, signaling Kazuma and Aqua to hold it off. Kazuma finally felt like he was teaming up, drew his longsword from his waist, and solemnly said, "Leave it to me."

　However, Aqua spotted a frog in the distance and immediately called out, "Kazuma, there's one over there too."

　"Two? Miss Huihui, please choose the giant frog that is farther away as your target."

　"clear."

　"Well then, for those who are closest, when it's your turn to go on stage, let's say it's something like, 'Yuan something,' or something like that. If possible, let us also witness the strength of 'Yuan something.'"

　Aqua was most proud of her goddess status, and immediately said aggrievedly, "What? Even though it's a frog with high resistance to attack, today, today I will definitely avenge myself."

　Aqua used the Divine Requiem.

　【God Requeiem】Sleep in trembling. The so-called requiem of the gods is the ultimate form of the goddess's love and sorrow. There is only death for the opponent.

　Awooo, Aqua was swallowed up by the giant frog again.

　"Truly worthy of being called a goddess, sacrificing her own life to buy time for her teammates." Kazuma didn't hold back his praise, and at the same time, a terrifying surge of magic came from the side.

　A blacker than black, a darker than darkness, where I entrust my true crimson golden light;

　When the time of awakening arrives, let the corrupt truth of the absurd church be revealed as an invisible distortion;

　Dance, dance, dance!

　The collapse of my fundamental power and desire, an unparalleled collapse, has burned everything in the world to ashes.

　Descend from the abyss;

　This is humanity's strongest attack method; this is the ultimate attack magic.

　【Explosion】

　As Huihui chanted the incantation, countless magical blocks gathered above the giant frog's head. Under the cover of the huge magic circle, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, and the powerful waves even threw Kazuma away. The giant frog that was swallowing Aqua also stopped, and Aqua's legs, which were hanging by the giant frog's mouth, swayed from side to side with the waves.

　Soon, the smoke and dust cleared, and the giant frog at the center of the explosion was gone, leaving only a huge, steaming crater. "Wow, amazing, is this magic?"

　Kazuma exclaimed in admiration, noticing that the giant frogs sleeping underground had all awakened from their slumber due to the explosion magic. "Megumin, that was a good attack. Let's do it again."

　Before Kazuma could finish speaking, Megumin collapsed, her staff and mage hat lying carelessly to the side. Kazuma exclaimed in confusion, "Huh?"
