Chapter 43: Prideful Or Arrogant!
"Elliot, should we save them?" Kumoko whispered beside Elliot's ear (or where his ear would be in human form).
When Elliot was still an Earth Dragon, he never let her climb on his back to be lazy. Now that he was in human form, he didn't seem to mind her presence so close.
So she could comfortably perch on Elliot's shoulder, watching the humans being besieged by the wolf pack below.
"What do you think?" Elliot smiled. To him, saving them or not wasn't a big deal. As the saying goes, "all are ants beneath a sage"; naturally, a god wouldn't particularly care about the life or death of mortals.
Damn am I getting arrogant or prideful?!
"Let's save them, I guess. After all, those wolves... they look pretty tasty. Humans, on the other hand, their meat is sour. Blech~" Kumoko made a gagging motion. She had tried human flesh once. Whether it was psychological or physiological discomfort, she threw it up immediately and decided never to eat humans again.
"...Alright then," Elliot chuckled.
The five humans below, despite being a standard warrior-mage-priest setup, wouldn't last much longer.
Several of them were complete newbies with no real combat experience. They were basically dragging the Hero down.
However, since he was the Hero, he was bound to have some plot armor. Someone would probably show up out of nowhere to save them.
As a potential asset, Elliot quite liked this Hero. Instead of letting someone else save them, he might as well do it himself.
