In front of me is the wall that protects the mansion where the Naberius family's laboratory is supposed to be.
From what Tiamat told me, the person in charge is a high-class devil from a branch of the Naberius family.
To be honest, I don't know what level my strength is. Can I defeat a high-class devil on my own?
I don't think this is the time to hesitate and get depressed. Tiamat is serious about forcing me to do this mission.
My current problem is on the wall. This one is over three meters high and with not enough Lv to go over the fence.
"You know, kill as many devils as you can. Don't worry if you can't beat any of them, I'm watching you closely."
"Thank y---- Aaaah!"
I flew out before I could finish thanking Tiamat, and it wasn't because of a sudden surge of Lv in [Flight].
Bang!
Ouch. That hurt.
Tiamat kicked my ass and sent me flying over the walls.
My ass hurts, damn it!
Mmm... Please don't misunderstand. It doesn't hurt because I've been penetrated.
I think I'm making it worse, so I'll shut up.
"A... a... A dragon!"
"Hello?"
In front of me are two random devild. They wear a uniform and carry a truncheon to defend themselves. They look like two mall security guards.
"What's a dragon doing here?"
"I-I don't know. Anyway, we should alert the top executives."
They're backing up as they speak. They're pointing their clubs at me... Maybe they're trying to intimidate me?
It might be a good try... no, it's not a good try at all.
Are your legs shaking? Well, not just their legs, but their whole body.
And... A club?
You're trying to threaten a dragon with a club?
Honestly, I'm offended.
They don't look powerful. But while I'm at it, I'll check their status.

I see I see. From what I see... they're very weak.
No, really.
They're very, very, very, very weak.
Just compare their status to mine.

Just comparing stats, I'm two times stronger than they are. And I'm not counting the skills, especially the title skills that give me an indirect boost in stats that are not directly reflected.
I'm just a dragon child, why is my strength so superior to these devils?
Is the superiority of a dragon so great?
Woah...
This just makes me want to level up.
And for that, I have to kill these two devils in front of me. They're just the first stone in my path.
Why don't I use these two to try out one of my new skills?
[Numbing darkness claw]
What is this feeling?
I feel as if a cold current is running through my body and into my claws. A kind of black fog is surrounding them. I have the feeling that my attacks will be much more powerful with darkness surrounding my claws.
Is this magic?
"What is he doing?"
One of the guards seems visibly frightened. He's the level five guard. The grip on his baton tightens, and he looks at me with a watchful face.
The other guard, the level six, is also scared, but he tries to hide it.
Useless effort.
"Stall him as long as you can, I'm going to warn the superiors."
Huh. How clever of you.
Level 6 intends to sacrifice level 5 to save its own ass. What's this about reporting to superiors? No one would believe that.
Level 5 knows that too, but it doesn't look like they'll argue. Is it because of the difference in levels? But the difference isn't that much, is it?
The level 6 guard is already turning around to leave.
But do you think I'm going to give you a chance?
"Become experience for me."
I jump to them to shorten the distance and cut with my claws enhanced with the [Numbing darkness claw] skill. My claws smoothly cut the flesh of the guards.
Four pieces of meat are all that's left of these guards. Both bodies cut into two parts.
[Aquired 50 experience points]
[Because of title skill [Walking Egg: Lv-] another 50 experience was acquired.]
[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 1 to 10]
[Aquired 55 experience points]
[Because of title skill [Walking Egg: Lv-] another 55 experience was acquired.]
[Evil Child Dragon] level raised from 10 to 15]
[Level of normal skill [Numbing Darkness Claw] was increased from 1 to 2]
I've gone up 15 levels in a row for killing two weak devils. Isn't this too profitable?
Besides, their strength and level wasn't much higher than the Dark Worms', but the experience points they gave me were much more. What's the reason for this?
Is it because of the race? Or because the devils' intelligence is higher than that of the Dark Worms?
Well, it's not something I need to pay attention to right now. All I need to know is that killing gives me experience points, and with them, I can become stronger and stronger.
I don't seem to find any more guards in the outer courtyard.
I don't know what to say...
Leaving the outer courtyard to these two low-level guards...
I don't really know what to say...
Are the Naberius family idiots?
But I don't think so.
But... if not, why are there only two low-level guards at the entrance?
I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this.
I better hurry up and finish the mission quickly.
