Night City: Is This Magic Flame Dragon That Awesome?

"Soya, speaking as someone who's been there, if I were you, I wouldn't choose to quit and become an adventurer right now.

You've seen how strong Yoru Machi is, and that Elf Maiden, from what you've said, should also be quite formidable.

So, do you really think that with your own strength, even if you went back to being an adventurer, you could fit into their team?"

Hearing the Guild Master's words, Soya fell silent. Yoru Machi and Cui were capable of hunting down the Poisonous Demon Dragon. While she believed she had some skill, even if she joined them, she would be nothing but a hindrance.

"So, if you truly want to help Yoru Machi, your current job is the most suitable. If you quit even this job, then you'll truly have no connection left with them at all.

Oh, speaking of work, did you transfer that high-difficulty request we received last time to headquarters?"

After a brief period of thought, Soya, who had originally intended to resign, was ultimately persuaded by the Guild Master.

"Guild Master, the request document I was preparing to transfer to headquarters is gone! It was right here just a moment ago, could it be..."

When accepting requests, the Adventurer's Guild generally does not refuse them due to excessive difficulty, as doing so would affect its reputation.

If a request exceeds their capabilities, local branches will transfer it to headquarters, allowing headquarters to dispatch more capable adventurers to complete the mission.

This time, the Mag Town branch of the Guild had also received a request beyond its capabilities. Soya, following the Guild Master's instructions, was preparing to forward this request to headquarters.

However, as she came down from upstairs, Soya discovered that the document was nowhere to be found. She then recalled that when she and Cui were arguing over Yoru Machi, he seemed to have taken something from the counter.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts, Cui looked at the document in Yoru Machi's hand with a somewhat strange expression.

"Exterminate or Hunt the Legendary Great Dragon - Demon Flame Dragon"

Upon seeing the request mission in Yoru Machi's hand, Cui fell silent. Just a moment ago, she had been saying that the missions in Mag Town weren't that high-level, given the caliber of adventurers there.

But she hadn't expected the tables to turn so quickly. The current request mission Yoru Machi held was something very few people on the entire continent would dare to accept.

Both the Poisonous Demon Dragon and the Demon Flame Dragon were Great Dragons, but in terms of strength and Magic Power, the Poisonous Demon Dragon was far inferior to the Demon Flame Dragon.

That's right, although they were both powerful dragon species, the Demon Flame Dragon had been ravaging the continent for many years. Its age and the strength it possessed were significantly greater than that of the Poisonous Demon Dragon.

Generally, to defeat such a legendary creature, one couldn't rely on the strength of just one or two people.

Great Dragons were at the apex of the food chain, and the Demon Flame Dragon was a standout among them. There was no human in this world who could fight it one-on-one and emerge victorious.

"Yoru Machi, this mission is a bit too dangerous for us. How about we go back and pick another one?"

Cui, an Elf Princess who dared to challenge the Poisonous Demon Dragon alone, was quite proud and had a certain level of confidence in her own strength.

However, the previous encounter with the Poisonous Demon Dragon had taught her a lesson. Seeing the mission to hunt the Demon Flame Dragon in Yoru Machi's hand, she naturally hoped he would be more cautious.

"Is this Great Dragon, the Demon Flame Dragon, a really formidable existence?"

Yoru Machi hadn't been in this other world for long. He hadn't heard of the Poisonous Demon Dragon or the Demon Flame Dragon.

But he could understand the many zeros behind the request reward.

This time was different from when they hunted the Poisonous Demon Dragon. The client not only explained the danger and power of the Demon Flame Dragon without reservation but also generously offered a huge reward.

"Isn't that obvious? The Demon Flame Dragon is a Great Dragon that has lived for who knows how many years, and it has even left many legends on this continent. It's a powerful being known as a disaster in stories."

Cui rolled her eyes at the greedy guy and educated him on the Demon Flame Dragon's might.

Frankly speaking, before beings like Gods, Demon Kings, and Brave Ones appeared, the Demon Flame Dragon was the most powerful monster in this world.

"How does it compare to the previous Poisonous Demon Dragon? The strength of this Demon Flame Dragon."

Even with all of Cui's explanations, Yoru Machi, who had little understanding of this world, still had no concept of the strength of "the strongest monster." Thus, he had to use the previously encountered Poisonous Demon Dragon as a benchmark for comparison.

"In terms of race and bloodline, both the Poisonous Demon Dragon and the Demon Flame Dragon should belong to the powerful Great Dragons.

But the Demon Flame Dragon has been on the continent for much longer than the Poisonous Demon Dragon, so in terms of strength, the Poisonous Demon Dragon should be far from a match for the Demon Flame Dragon."

Although the Poisonous Demon Dragon was easily defeated by Yoru Machi, he felt that the Great Dragon's strength was already quite impressive, at least at the level of a Menos Grande in the Soul Reaper World.

And according to Cui, the Demon Flame Dragon was much stronger than the Poisonous Demon Dragon, meaning it would be at the level of an Adjuchas or Vastolorde?

This level of strength would be equivalent to a Shinigami Lieutenant or Captain in the Soul Reaper World. Therefore, Yoru Machi hesitated for a moment whether to accept this mission.

If he had his Zanpakuto in hand right now and could perform a Shikai, he wouldn't fear the so-called Demon Flame Dragon.

But the problem now was that he was just one of his multiversal avatars, and his Zanpakuto was in the hands of his counterpart in the Soul Reaper World.

"Regardless, let's head to this village first. Didn't it say that adventurers who accept this request can learn how to defeat the Demon Flame Dragon from the villagers?"

In Yoru Machi's opinion, the adventurer requests in this world were quite similar to in-game quests.

The "clue to defeating the Demon Flame Dragon" provided in the request was clearly a side quest for players to level up or obtain divine artifacts.

According to the information provided in the request, Yoru Machi and Cui traveled for two days and finally arrived at an unfamiliar village.

And in this village, Yoru Machi and Cui once again encountered a familiar face – a half-beastman with thick glasses, who looked to be in his thirties but was actually seventeen years old.

"I really run into you everywhere, Shimada Yousuke. I knew you wouldn't be taken down that easily.

But it seems you still haven't learned from your previous encounters. What kind of help are you planning to offer this village this time?"

In just a few days, Yoru Machi noticed that although Shimada Yousuke's appearance hadn't changed significantly, he could clearly feel that the prematurely aged man's strength had increased again!
