Reincarnated as a chicken

Into the Tyrant

"Oh, why did we even take the job?"

A pained feminine voice asked.

"Because we are broke and we need money."

A male voice answered.

"No! It's for the thrill of the adventure!"

Another voice yelled.

The owners of the other two voices stared at the last guy with disbelief. He was their party leader and had gotten them into all sorts of trouble before, but they were certain that not even he was that stupid. At least, that was what they thought.

Together, they were a rank B- party. The B rank attack mage, Charlotte, The C+ rank Swordsman, Aden, and the B- ranked support mage, Ross. They were quite the infamous party back in Dirthhaven, the capital of Keiman, for the kind of dangerous jobs their useless leader would take and barely manage to complete.

Right now, the reason why they were in the Larm forest was because their leader had accepted the job of going to take resources. In secret, he actually wanted to fight the Mad Witch of the West. He didn't understand why so many adventurers had met their ends at her hands, so he would stop it. Either he was going to kill the Mad Witch, or it was going to kill him. That was his intention.

The others knew about it and were very angry, at the same time, they just shrugged it off, because they knew that that was how their leader worked. He would just pick a job and they would somehow complete it. It didn't matter how dangerous it was or how tiring it would be, he just had some sort of luck that always helped them.

This time however, there was an extra edition to their party. A young woman who looked no older than 20 had joined them. She was called Lucia and she was also a support mage, much like Ross, but focused more on healing than boosting her companions physical capabilities, so she was welcomed with open arms.

They had been in the woods for a few days and had been able to judge the average monster strength. The strongest monster they had seen there was of the advanced rank, so even Aden wouldn't have a hard time if he were to try to solo the West. The only problem was the Mad Witch. Ross and Charlotte were praying that they wouldn't encounter her, whereas Aden was working tirelessly to find her cave.

"Ah damn it! Why can't we find her cave!? Was it all a lie!?"

Aden asked. Ross and Charlotte looked at each other and spoke with their eyes, when they came to a conclusion they nodded.

"Yeah, it's all probably a lie."

Ross said

"I mean, if there was actually a cave we would have found it by now, wouldn't we?"

Charlotte added.

Aden started to think about it for a while, then Lucia added,

"If that's the case, then what happened to all those adventurers who came to this forest in search of resources?"

"Yeah that's right! Come on you guys. Think a little bit more like Miss Lucia. There's a strong monster out there and I can sense it."

Ross and Charlotte begun to cry. They didn't hate Lucia. Far from it. In fact they had come to love her company. It's just that sometimes she said unnecessary things at the worst times. So, they continued to walk in search of the Mad Witch of the West.

After an hour of painful walking and searching, they finally found a cave. Charlotte then said,

"This is it guys. I sense an awfully large amount of magical presence in the area."
