Legend

The next day, Ray and Seth left Exinis and walked among the surrounding mountains.

Originally, Lindy wanted to come, but as long as she's moving as part of an adventurer party, she can't just walk out of the party for her own convenience.

Or, if it's really necessary, we might do something like that... but right now, it's not that far.

Though I'm looking into Goliath, as an adventurer, if I don't get rid of my request, I won't be able to pay for my living, and above all, I won't be able to prepare money to send to the orphanage.

Given the circumstances, Lindy could not imitate helping Ray today.

"Set, let me know if there's a bandit nearby.There are a lot of bandits in this mountain. "

Gru!

Ray and Seth are currently in the mountains, a short distance from Egginis.

It's the same mountain Ray ran a bandit hunt with Lindy a few days ago.

After all, it was decided that the bandits would be the only ones who could get information on the bandits' disappearance.

I'll leave the information about the nobles to Rydon for now.

Ray didn't know exactly how much information Rydon could get.

Still, if you are a neutral aristocrat, I have decided to leave it to you.

That's where Ray can now find the bandits... and lure the assassins if they're still after him.

I disguised myself as a maid and broke into the inn, so it would be easy to dress up with rays in the mountains.

... actually there is a seto, so it would be impossible to get close without being too skillful to deceive such a seto sensation, and I thought it would be impossible to see the skill of the maid assassin first.

(Nevertheless, there is no sign of an assassin.)

The fact that Ray is alone - and Seth is there - naturally means that he can wave his weapon as he likes, unlike the inn.

Ray's Death Size and Twilight Spear are both strong.

It's not a weapon that can be used in buildings, but raids in hotels don't mean Ray can maximize his abilities.

If an assassin attacked in such a mountain, Ray could use both Death Size and Twilight Spears.

If you were an assassin who wanted to kill a target rather than fight the enemy squarely, you wouldn't want to fight Ray in that state.

Of course, some assassins are confident of their abilities, and there may be exceptional opportunities for them to try to kill honorably.

(I don't know if that kind of guy could be in a place like this.)

Exinis is an autonomous city with a thriving Golem industry.

However, it is not strange for anyone to imitate a disturbance for their own benefit.

And when such a person wants to kill an intrusive opponent… or when he or she has trouble imitating himself or herself, using an assassin is one of the last resorts, but not so uncommon.

Given the circumstances around it, it's not strange that the Egginis assassins have a high level.

Those who come to Egginis are mostly wealthy, with escorts.

Adventurers like Ray may want their own golems, but they're bigger than that, like nobles and merchants.

Assassinators naturally needed to be equipped with skills to assassinate such opponents.

(Nevertheless, it wasn't such a strong assassin who attacked me.)

Remembering the assassin disguised as a maid, Ray thought like that....

Gru!

And Seto unexpectedly rang his throat.

Did you find it?

Based on previous experience, it is likely that the enemy… has found a bandit.

You won't know what scale of bandits you found until you actually find them.

That's why Ray asks the bandits he found on Seth's back to go to him.

"Seto, please. Turn to the person you found."

Gruuuuuu!

At Ray's request, Seto ran out of his throat.

There are many trees and bushes in the mountain.

Those who are unfamiliar with the mountains will undoubtedly struggle to walk.

No, even if you're familiar with the mountains to some extent, it's definitely difficult to imitate how fast you go like Cetto.

When Ray was also in Japan, he grew up imitating playing in the mountain just next to his house from a young age, so he was proud to be more accustomed to walking around the mountain than usual, but Seto continued to run at an amazing speed even from such a ray's point of view... slowing down where he kept running long enough.

"Are you there?

"Gru"

Seth shouted shortly at Ray's words.

Ray, who got off Seto's back, looked around... and understood what Seto had found.

There is no doubt that Seto found the bandits.

But it wasn't just the bandits we found....

"Damn, Golem!?What am I supposed to do with him?

Beyond his gaze, the bandits cry with their daggers in their hands.

As he said, it was the Golems that the bandits were fighting.

He is about three meters tall.

Looking at it alone, it is the same size as the golem that was fighting in the field game, but the movement is several steps sharper than the golem that was seen in the field game.

Of course, it's still low compared to high-ranked adventurers, but it's only low compared to high-ranked adventurers.

Bandits... and, given Ray's obvious weakness in his eyes, there's nothing Golem can do about it.

(Perhaps this bandit is one of the most recently replenished bandits)

The bandits are desperately fighting the Golem.

Some of them think they're manipulating the Golem and are targeting the Alchemists, but there are adventurers around the Alchemists who may be hired as escorts.

The bandits' skills are not very good, but they can't break through the guards.

It's not strange to run, but the bandits who try to escape are pierced in the head by arrows fired from a bow held by the escort adventurer at the next moment.

(Hee)

The skill of the bow impressed Ray, who was hiding in the bushes.

Ray knew quite well who used the bow, but the current blow had enough skill to be at the top of those Ray knew.

The short time between holding the bow and shooting, and still being able to target the head, means that the aim is also accurate.

"Don't run away! If you run, you won't get away!There is only one way for you to survive.All we have to do is defeat our Golem!If we can defeat them, those who survive at that point will escape!

One of the alchemists shouts at the bandits.

They say they'll let you escape if you win the Golem, but as far as the Alchemist is concerned, it seemed certain that the bandits would not win the Golem.

In fact, the golem... the rocky golem waves its fists at the bandits with faster movements than expected.

A fist made of stone and not armed enough to be a murder weapon.

The swinging fist hits the bandit's head and crushes the skull the next moment.

With that shock, both of the bandits' eyes pop out, but of course Golem doesn't seem to care about it.

Ninro, the alchemists look at the sight and look disgusting.

You'll be confident in your ability to make golems, and you won't suffer from imitations like coming out and experimenting.

However, I am not accustomed to the scene of my body rupturing and people dying and scattering my internal organs.

There was nothing to be afraid of when I saw it, but there were plenty of things like ugly sights and feeling sick about strong iron rust smells.

So the bandits die one after the other.

With only one Golem and still nearly a dozen bandits, Ray seemed to think that the battle trend was over.

(The number of corpses... is just enough to see.Looks like this bandit was pretty big.As a result, Golem's performance test was meaningfully completed.)

Some of the bandits have already lost their warfare.

I've heard that if we beat the Golem in front of us, we'll be saved, but I can't think of a future where we can beat the Golem.

Bandits' attacks have no effect on the Golem.

In the first place, the most powerful of these bandits used an axe to strike the Golem, but the strike could only be imitated by lightly shaving the surface of the rock that made up the body of the Golem.

That's impossible by nature.

In fact, some of the bandits have seen the axes shaking their heads crushing the rocks... but they've done a lot of damage.

Nevertheless, at a time when the Golem was only able to slightly damage the surface layer, even if the body of the Golem was composed of rocks, it was clearly different from ordinary rocks.

The most powerful of ourselves was a confident blow to the head that could only slightly hurt the golem, with a dazed expression… At the next moment, the sight of the golem shaking his head down with his fist and dying would be enough to do a lot of damage to the bandits.

Still, they were thieves who fought desperately to survive without dying... and their thoughts were shattered.

Once you break your heart, you can't do anything to the bandits anymore.

Golem slaughtered the bandits who fled one after another.

Yes, it didn't kill the opponent, but killed the bandits unilaterally, as if they were working.

Some bandits managed to escape the scene, but such bandits were killed by adventurer shooting arrows as a matter of course.

"Hmm, so much for the bandits.If possible, I'd like to fight stronger opponents to maximize their performance..... "

"That would be difficult.All the bandits we've seen lately are small.It might not be a bad idea to ask an adventurer for a mock fight. "

Ray can hear what the alchemists are talking about.

It's quite a distance away, and even though the alchemists aren't talking out loud, Ray's ears aren't really there, but Ray's five senses are sharper than ordinary people.

Even at this distance, it sounded good enough to the ear.

(Apparently, it's purely Golem's experiment.I know it's not a compliment, but I don't think these guys are involved in the disappearance of the bandits.So it's different from what I'm looking into.Then, other.....)

"Somebody's here!

Let's go somewhere else.

I thought so, Ray, but I heard a sharp scream before I put it into action.

And turning to the voice of the person, there was one woman, obviously looking at Ray, who wore something more than glasses... rather than goggles.

No, goggles?You didn't do that before, did you?

When Ray saw the battle taking place against Stone Golem, he checked on the Alchemists and Adventurers.

At that time, no woman wore goggles.

I suppose he played goggles when the battle was over.

And finding Ray and Seto's presence lightly probably worked on some magic item.

However, Ray doesn't know exactly what kind of performance magic item it is.

At the same time, it was also clear that you can't just stay here until you've been found.

-What do we do?

Golem's performance tests are being conducted against bandits, not wild matches.

I don't think I can do everything I can in a field match... I don't think I can destroy the opponent's golem, and above all, I don't want to show the performance of the golem to others even in a field match.

With that in mind, it may be odd to leave here, but if you imitate running away like this, it will be troublesome... I left the bushes with Seto.
