The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 338 Isn’t it very bold?
"I want to hire you."

"Hire!?" X3
Hearing Zun Zun suddenly say this, Alicia and the other two looked at each other, not knowing why he said that.

Early the next morning.

Their mission has been completed, and the reconstruction work will never fall on the shoulders of Zun Zun and others. Just as they were about to leave, Alicia and the others were suddenly asked to stay.

"Is that okay? Alicia, you are adventurers, so you should accept missions. Or, now that you have become heroes, you are no longer willing to accept missions from others?"

"No, no, no, it's not!"

"Rather, we are very happy to have received a special commission. For a novice adventurer, this is a rare opportunity. It has nothing to do with the title of a hero."

The three of them quickly denied it.

They were novice adventurers who were inexplicably given the title of heroes, so they were very aware of their own worth, but also because of this -

“It’s hard to imagine Zun Zun would entrust us.”

Alicia was a little weird.

They knew the strength of Zun Zun and others, but even so they had to entrust the three of them with something they didn't know what they were about to face, and most importantly, they didn't know if they could help.

"No need to worry about this at all."

Zun Zun smiled and said, "Your strength has been recognized by me, and the most important thing on the battlefield is not strength, but obedience. In this regard, you three have done a good job."

There was encouragement in the words.

After all, this is the truth. Even if Alicia is not a true hero, their growth rate is ridiculously fast. She was still a simple newbie in the A-level maze, but in just over a month, she has grown to this point.

Maybe if we give them a little more time, they can become true heroes.

"To be honest, I don't quite agree with it."

"Teacher!" X3
Hearing the elf girl say this, Alicia and the other two were a little excited. They respected the elf girl very much. She could be said to be their mentor who led them to grow up. Since she was their mentor, they were of course unhappy to be denied.

"but."

She suddenly changed the subject and said, "You can't just be so lazy. Since you have the determination to become a strong person, you should fight against strong enemies to hone yourself, just like your skills."

"Teacher!" X3
The three were deeply moved.

The elf girl secretly stuck out her tongue at Zun Zun. She did act like a teacher just now, but to be honest, it felt a bit awkward. She was cuter now when she was playful and arrogant.

"And with the Staff of Salvation, it should barely be considered half a fighting force."

"Teacher!?" X3
The three shouted again, obviously not expecting that they were only half a fighting force, and that was even with the Staff of Salvation.

"Where's Yosuke?"

"I don't care. Your Excellency must have his own considerations for saying this, and the more people we have to do, the better, right?"

Shimaki Yosuke agreed quickly.

Since it requires mutual collision of energies, the more force the better. Only in this way can the probability of breaking through space be increased.

"I, I don't mind either."

"Okay, in that case, let's have a brief meeting."

"Wait, wait! I haven't said anything cool yet, let me say something too!"

Mabel pulled Zunzun's arm and swung it back and forth, as if she was being ignored and felt wronged. Obviously, she would undoubtedly be the main force in the upcoming battle.

“No, not good…”

"How should I put it? I've got a very uneasy feeling."

Laika and Edgar, who were provoked, finally realized that they seemed to have accidentally boarded a pirate ship. They became more convinced when they saw Zun Zun's evil smile.

"Can we back out now?"

"No."

"I knew it!"

"Damn it, I was plotted!"

The two people who were rejected by Zun Zun had ugly expressions. Alicia said with an unbearable look: "You two, if Zun Zun and the teacher need help, you should try your best to help. How can you just think about running away?"

"Have you really understood the current situation?"

“It’s not a question of whether we want to help, but whether we can help.”

"Hey, what do you mean?"

She looked silly and obviously didn't react.

Then Zun Zun stated their purpose, causing the three people to stare at each other in stunned expression.

Just as the beautiful elf girl said, in fact, she didn't want the three of them to come along at first. After all, the next opponent they would encounter was a mythical monster that was even more difficult to deal with than these monsters... no, it was an enhanced version of a mythical monster.

"We are fighting the Demon Flame Dragon, is this true or not!?"

"Correction, it's not the Demonic Flame Dragon, but the enhanced version of the Demonic Flame Dragon."

"Wouldn't that be even harder!?"

Leica's mouth dropped open.

It's like, 'This is front, back, left, right, this is attack jump, okay, please go and defeat Erlang Shen.' No, considering that they learned the skills, at most they learned three stages of stick moves.

"It's okay, it's okay. You won't die."

"This is not a question of life or death..."

Zun Zun and the beautiful elf girl have been saying that this is a very rare opportunity to gain experience fighting against strong people, but this level of battle is still very difficult for them. "So, do you want to quit?"

"Well..."

Alicia and the other three looked at each other, shook their heads and spoke at the same time.

"It's impossible to quit, right?"

"I also want to see how powerful the Demon Flame Dragon is."

"Since you need help, I can't just sit there and do nothing."

The three of them said no, but their bodies were actually very honest. They had different reasons but the same goal.

"That's fine."

"Zunzun, you...are really a devil."

"I saw that in the maze."

"Yes, he taught us a severe lesson."

In the eyes of Alicia and others, Zun Zun seemed to have become a devil instructor. He was clearly doing it for their own good and only scolded them a few words in the maze.

Leica asked curiously, "But why do we have to defeat the Flame Dragon? Wasn't the Flame Dragon defeated five months ago?"

"Ah, that's——"

"Ahem, now is the time for me to take the stage."

Mei Beilu interrupted Zun Zun, she coughed pretentiously and said: "This is the secret of the Ice Clan, a piece of unknown history. That's right, it's the story about the ancestor of the Ice Clan and the Frozen Sword——"

"Ah, there's no need for the story. We've already read a book about the Ice Clan in the capital, and it's written in great detail."

Leica took out a book from her arms.

It was the book that Mabel's mother sold in the royal capital, containing all the information about the Ice Clan.

"Mom... the mom who eloped with a young man when I was 9..."

Mabel completely collapsed.

For so many years, the only thing she could do well was to tell others stories about the Frozen Sword. However, this only strength was taken away by her mother who eloped with a young man at the age of 9.

Zun Zun touched Mabel's head, comforting the wounded descendant of the Ice Clan while explaining.

"As you all know, the Demonic Flame Dragon was defeated five months ago... No, to be more precise, it was sealed. And my goal is to release it and defeat it again."

"Um???"

The three of them tilted their heads, looking even more confused.

Of course, they had no idea why Zun Zun went to so much trouble. So Zun Zun told them about the people who had been transferred to another world and the three temples.

"What, so you, Kuroki, are the one who transferred from another world!?"

"No wonder he's so strong!"

They did not make a fuss about Shimaki Yosuke being a person transferred from another world. No, it should be that there was no fuss on another aspect.

After all, there are many people in this world who have transferred from another world. Famous ones include the ancestor of the Ice Clan, and less famous ones include Shojiro who built the inn. In short, people who have transferred from another world are not uncommon in this world.

"That's it."

Zun Zun explained: "I plan to destroy the three temples, attract the power of the gods, and then combine it with the power of the Demon Flame Dragon. The two will become stronger when added together. Then, this is the time for us to take the stage."

"The strongest forces collide and merge with each other, perhaps generating enough power to distort time and space, destroying space and using it as a stepping stone to return to our world."

Shimaki Yosuke said so.

The beautiful elf girl sighed and said, "I don't think this is a good idea, but Zun Zun has been wanting to do this, and I have clearly tried to stop him..."

“This is an experiment.”

Zun Zun knew that Shimaki Yosuke did not rely on this method to return to the world in the end, but he would not be willing to give it a try, and this was the only way Zun Zun could think of to return home at the moment.

"I am very confident that I will succeed. Of course, even if I fail, there are other ways. But... if you think about it the other way around, maybe just increasing the power of the Devil Flame Dragon is the easiest way."

"seriously?"

Laika and the others were frightened by Zun Zun's reckless idea. In order to return home, they actively cultivated the monster's strength and defeated it again, and repeated it until they succeeded.

Is there anything wrong with your brain?
"Hey, I feel an offensive gaze."

"——I'm sorry!" X3
"Forget it. I also think this method is very bold."

Do you still know?
Except for Shimaki Yosuke, the other elf girls kept complaining in their hearts but did not show it on their faces.

"Anyway, I've found a way, and I won't give up until I give it a try. So this trip may be quite dangerous, but I promise that I won't let you get hurt before I die. How about it, do you want to come with me?"

Zun Zun was not only asking Alicia and the other three, but also asking the beautiful elf girl He Meibeilu what she thought.

He has a move that makes anyone's life tougher than others, and once something irreversible is about to happen, he will use this move against the Anti-Demon Flame Dragon, so he said such words.

"What are you talking about? I'm definitely going."

The beautiful elf girl spoke first.

Next came Shimaki Yosuke, followed by Alicia and the other three, and Mabel—

“I, I, I, I… I am the wielder of the Frozen Sword. A mere Demonic Flame Dragon is absolutely… no problem for me…!”

Even though I said that, I was still trembling with fear.

Is she really okay?
