The great swamp where the Lizardmen village was located.
The chuunibyou youth, Gabiru, directly usurped his father and imprisoned him, instigated by Clown Laplace.
Afterward, he led the Lizardmen and a group of Goblins who had allied with him, and recklessly charged into the Orc Tribe's army in the swamp.
But after a brief advantage, Gabiru understood what it meant to be beaten by society.
Under the Orc lord's Unique skill, the Orc Tribe could acquire abilities by devouring corpses.
After eating the Lizardmen, the Orc Tribe grew scales and webs, instantly nullifying the Lizardmen's advantage in the swamp.
Gabiru, relying on being a Named Monster, intended to challenge the Orc lord to a one-on-one fight.
As a result, not to mention the Orc lord, he couldn't even defeat a single Pighead General.
"Young Master, are you alright?!"
Several Lizardmen subordinates helped Gabiru to his feet.
Gabiru's face was extremely grim; if it weren't for the masked girl who was slaughtering the Orc Tribe's main force.
At this moment, he would probably have died at the hands of the Pighead General!
He already knew he was wrong, but it was already too late to turn back!
The only thing he could do was use his life to help his loyal subordinates carve out a path of blood.
Gabiru brandished his trident and said, "I'll cover the rear, you all go quickly!"
"Young Master!"
The loyal Lizardmen subordinates were unwilling to abandon Gabiru and flee alone.
The few of them immediately followed Gabiru's steps and charged in.
It must be said that although Gabiru was foolish and chuunibyou, he was truly skilled at managing his subordinates.
"Go!"
Gabiru brandished his trident, conjuring a large water curtain, constantly protecting his subordinates behind him.
"Trample everything!"
"Trample everything!"
"Trample everything!"
"The strength of my comrades belongs to me, and the strength of my enemies also becomes my possession!"
But the Orc lord's army was too organized, and their numbers were incredibly vast.
Not to mention Gabiru, even the masked girl was starting to struggle.
Around her, a large amount of Fire was entwined.
Almost every swing of her sword would engulf a large number of Pigheads in Fire, turning them into ashes.
But the Pigheads were too numerous, and they simply didn't know what fear was.
She just kept fighting instinctively!
Why did she have to fight?
According to her age, she should have retired long ago.
Moreover, it was the Lizardmen who were in trouble, they were demons; she had no reason to fight at all.
But having unexpectedly arrived in this forest and witnessed this tragedy, she still chose to fight.
For her, who had obtained the hero title "Flame Master," dying in battle was perhaps her destined end!
Fighting and fighting, Shizue's consciousness became somewhat blurry.
As her magic power was consumed, she was increasingly unable to suppress the Fire Spirit Ifrit within her body.
Crack!
The mask on her cheek cracked, forming a fissure.
Ifrit's violent Fire spiritual power surged again!
Shizue knew that she had reached the end of her life.
At this final juncture of her life, she uncontrollably thought of the Demon Lord Leon Cromwell, who had summoned her to this World.
She thought of the Hero who had rescued her from the Demon Lord's castle but then left and never returned!
Especially the last words the Hero left her, which made her feel even stranger.
What did he mean by absolutely not going to the Sealed Cave in July of this year?!
She had obeyed the Hero's admonition from decades ago, resisting the urge to go to the Sealed Cave.
But before her death, she still couldn't help but want to see the Jura Great Forest.
Because this was the last message the Hero left for her!
Just as Shizue was desperately fighting, with her mask shattering and her life hanging by a thread.
In the Great Forest.
Gelmud, holding a crystal ball, saw everything happening at the scene through the crystal ball.
"Interesting, truly too interesting!"
"My children are truly capable. The Jura Great Forest is about to fall completely into my hands, and my ambition is about to be realized."
Before Gelmud could finish his words, he and Clown Laplace were astonished to see a pure White rainbow light suddenly descend from the sky.
As if having experienced an unprecedented grand explosion, the Orc lord's army, which had just gathered together with incredibly neat formations, was directly blown to pieces.
And before the rainbow light had fully dispersed, a "Thunder Dragon" suddenly appeared.
The Thunder Dragon surged and moved, unstoppable.
Wherever it passed, whether it was the Pighead army or the Pighead Generals, they were instantly blasted into dust.
Crackle! Boom!
Divine thunder roared, and all the Pigheads who had just gathered around Shizue were instantly cleared away.
At the same time, Gabiru and his subordinates, who were on the verge of being torn apart by the Pigheads, were also rescued immediately.
"What happened?"
Gabiru, as well as the surviving Lizardmen and Goblins, all stared in astonishment at the rainbow light descending from the sky.
The rainbow light was truly too magnificent, almost instantly clearing out the Orc Tribe within a thousand-meter radius.
When the rainbow light dispersed, the "Thunder Dragon" also revealed its true form.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the so-called Thunder Dragon was actually a lightning spear.
And at this moment, it was quietly held in someone's hand, and this person wore a mask—a mask that everyone was very familiar with.
Not to mention others, even Miss Shizue, who had just almost been consumed by Ifrit, regained her senses.
Seeing this mask, she couldn't help but be astonished, and a Shadow that was once incredibly familiar but now almost forgotten appeared in her mind.
"Hero My Lord..."
Shizue was incredibly excited; she had not expected that before her death, she would actually be able to fulfill her wish and see Hero My Lord, whom she had thought about for most of her life.
Shizue struggled, wanting to stand up, wanting to throw herself into Hero My Lord's embrace.
But being in the throes of death, her body was already somewhat unable to move.
However, Shizue did not give up; decades of fervent desire allowed her will to break through its limits.
She swayed her body, slowly stood up, and then walked step by step towards Hero My Lord, whom she had longed for.
First walking slowly, then running quickly, Shizue felt her body had never been better than it was now.
However, apart from Izawa Shizue, who was immersed in the moment, all the onlookers were horrified.
As the saying goes, the person involved is confused, but the bystander sees clearly.
What Izawa Shizue didn't know was that it wasn't her running, but the ground beneath her feet!
When they perceived all this, everyone's hair stood on end.
What exactly was this?
The ground directly came alive, opening like flower petals, and at the edge of the ground were incredibly massive gears!
This was too fantastical!
Not only Gabiru, the Lizardmen, the Goblins, the High Demon Gelmud, and Clown Laplace, who had never witnessed Rimuru's abilities.
Even Benimaru, Hakurou, Shion, and others, who had witnessed Rimuru's abilities, were completely shocked.
What kind of magic was this?
It had nothing to do with the Earth magic they knew!
Could any Earth magic achieve such a refined level?
At this moment, Izawa Shizue had nothing else in her eyes, only Hero My Lord wearing the mask!
Finally, finally, she once again threw herself into Hero My Lord's embrace.
It felt so good!
"Sleep, you are too tired!"
Hearing Rimuru's gentle voice, Miss Shizue, who was already on the verge of death, immediately smiled sweetly.
Her smile was just as it was when she was protected and cared for by the Hero.
Rimuru, without a change in expression, quietly transferred a large amount of life essence to Shizue.
As for Ifrit, at this moment, it was like a tamed kitten.
As obedient as could be!
Feeling the warmth of Shizue's body, Rimuru couldn't help but smile.
If you are well, then it is a clear sky; it's truly good to see Miss Shizue alive!
At this moment, Rimuru couldn't help but feel grateful to the little loli Chloe O'Bell.
She tirelessly, time and again, went through reincarnation; she truly worked hard!
