Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Kidnapping Shuna

Draco didn't know who the original Head Chef of Nazarick was.

He did know the Deputy Head Chef, Pichy, who was a mushroom-head wearing a suit.

Yuri Alpha, the eldest sister of the Pleiades, also seemed to have the sub-class Chef.

But no matter who it was, their cooking skills were definitely not high.

When creating the guild, the supreme beings had not considered the issue of food.

Because there was no sense of taste in Yggdrasill, nobody cared whether the food was delicious or not.

Therefore, the setting for the Head Chef was very ordinary.

Draco looked down on this somewhat.

In this world, Draco could only think of two people with culinary talent.

Shuna and Shion.

Shuna's culinary talent was undeniable, and as for Shion's talent—those who know, know—it was definitely the best in the world.

Thinking of this, Draco made a decision.

"Albedo, I'm entrusting Nazarick to you for protection. I'm going out to find a chef and bring them back."

Without waiting for Albedo to say anything, Draco instantly teleported to the Tomb Entrance.

He knew without guessing that she would definitely cling to him and want to go out together.

But someone needed to guard Nazarick, and Albedo had to stay.

Arriving at the entrance, Draco immediately used Spatial Transfer to reach the west side of the Jura Great Forest.

He was going to look for the location of the Ogre Tribe's village.

Using 'Summon All Things', he summoned a Giant Eagle, and was lucky enough to acquire the skill 'Farsight' from this B-rank monster.

Draco mounted the Giant Eagle and began soaring through the sky.

Searching for the Ogre Tribe's village.

(Level Explanation: Lv1-Lv15 = F-rank, 16-29 = E-rank, Lv30 = D-rank, Lv45 = C-rank, Lv60 = B-rank, Lv70 = A-rank, Lv80 = A+-rank, Lv90 = S--rank 'Demon Lord Species', Lv100 = S--rank 'Awakened Demon Lord')

Draco's current level had reached Lv56. Including the class skill bonus, his summons could call forth beings up to Lv15 higher than himself.

Which meant A-rank monsters.

As the level of the summoned creature increased, the summoning process would no longer be so simple.

It required not only setting up complicated magic circles but also sacrificing large amounts of offerings.

For example, summoning the Black Goat required sacrificing tens of thousands of humans.

Therefore, successful summoning was only possible under specific circumstances.

Draco didn't care much about this, as A-rank beings were referred to by humans as Disaster-grade.

They had a high probability of causing massive damage to towns.

And A+-rank beings could already cause a kingdom to face the crisis of collapse.

Even among the Ogre Tribe, who possessed top strength in the Jura Great Forest, most had B-rank strength, with only a few individuals reaching A-rank.

Before the Demon Lord appeared, Draco's summoned creatures were already considered the ceiling of strength in the forest.

The Jura Great Forest was vast. Draco circled in the sky for half a day before finally spotting a decent-looking village.

It definitely wasn't the kind of thatched huts Goblins lived in, but simple wooden houses.

Those capable of this were likely the Ogre Tribe Draco was looking for.

"Screech!!"

A hawk's scream startled the Ogre Tribe members below.

The Ogre Tribe members all looked up at the giant bird in the sky.

Because they only sensed the B-rank demonic aura of the Giant Eagle and hadn't noticed Draco's presence.

Thus, they were not overly cautious.

At this moment, Draco had the Giant Eagle descend above everyone's heads.

"I am the sole supreme being of Nazarick. I have come today to borrow your Princess."

Hearing this, the crowd below immediately became furious.

"Who are you? How dare you covet our Princess? You seek death!"

"Kill him!!"

"Kill this arrogant bastard!"

"..."

The Ogre Tribe Chief, an uncle with a head full of red hair.

He raised the long spear in his hand, ready to throw it at the Giant Eagle in the sky.

At this moment, Benimaru and the others shielded the adorable Shuna, who was wearing Miko Attire.

"Space Lock!"

However, following Draco's loud shout, everyone felt a powerful force pinning them to the spot.

They were completely unable to move.

Draco descended from the sky, slowly landing beside Shuna.

Under her helpless and terrified gaze, Draco scooped her up.

Then, in front of everyone, he jumped back onto the Giant Eagle's back.

At the same time, the effect of Space Lock ended.

"Father! Elder Brother!"

Shuna cried out, tears welling up in her eyes.

But the people below were powerless as they watched the Giant Eagle fly further and further away.

"Bastard! If you have the guts, come down and let's fight to the death!"

"Damn it, I'll tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

"..."

A group of Ogre Tribe members roared in fury, but it was useless.

Draco's voice sounded again, "I will give you all a chance. If you can find me and come before me within three months, I will release her."

Having said that, the Giant Eagle flapped its wings and flew away.

The Ogre Tribe members on the ground watched Draco's retreating figure, their faces twisted in rage.

They had already lost track of Draco.

"Old man, what do we do now?" Benimaru asked anxiously.

"Everyone, immediately go and inquire about this person's origins."

"We must find the Princess in the shortest time possible."

"Yes!"

The Ogre Tribe members immediately scattered, heading to other tribes to gather information... Meanwhile, Draco, after flying a distance on the Giant Eagle, used Spatial Transfer directly back to the Tomb Entrance.

Shuna, in his arms, covered her mouth and dared not move, appearing extremely afraid of Draco.

Draco set her down from his arms and gently wiped away her tears.

"Don't be scared, I'm not going to eat you."

"Th-then what do you want to do?"

Shuna said timidly, her beautiful eyes filled with panic.

"Come with me."

Draco took her small hand and walked toward the Tomb Entrance.

This time, they wouldn't have to walk down floor by floor.

Draco had set up Teleportation Arrays on every floor, which he had purchased from the system at a high price.

Although he wasn't sure why such things were classified as guild furniture, as long as they worked, it was fine.

After meandering through the first floor for a while, the two arrived in front of a large door.

Pushing the door open, inside was an Altar-like structure.

It looked a bit like a circular elevator.

Standing in the middle of the Altar with Shuna, after selecting the transfer floor,

a pillar of magical light descended from the sky, enveloping the two.

Moments later, the two appeared on the Ninth Floor.

"We've arrived."

Looking at the dazzling array of luxurious decorations and ornaments before her, Shuna was somewhat stunned.

"It's so beautiful!" she couldn't help but exclaim.

Just then, Albedo suddenly appeared.

"Master! Who is this...?"
