Legend

It's been a while since I found the pig.....

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

Gruuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ray and Nielsen muttered that they couldn't find the smog panther, and Set snorted to agree.

Neilsen, who was familiar with Smog Panther, couldn't find him, and Set, with his sharp five senses, couldn't find him either.

In that sense, the Smog Panther wasn't hiding and not being found by Ray and the others, it was purely because Ray and the others hadn't been found yet.

Lei asked Nielsen even if he didn't see it lightly.

"There's no doubt that Smog Panther is in this forest, right?"No, you're not mistaken. That's what the village chief said. "

Ray asked if there was a smog panther in the woods, but before Nielsen, the guide, could answer it, he solved it himself.

"Even the guide in that village..."

"But the people in that village basically kept out of the woods, didn't they?"In the shallow part of the forest, it didn't make sense to hire a guide if you headed backwards.On the contrary, there will be more footwork, and above all, it won't make sense at a time when I can't be free. "

In response to Ray's remark that he should have hired someone to guide him in the village he spoke of, Nielsen argues against his hair.

As for Nielsen, if she had a guide, she wouldn't be able to fly around as freely as she'd told herself, so she probably didn't like having to be inside Ray's dragon robe.

“All right, all right. Maybe I should call Nielsen and get some directions.However, given the situation around here, we need to find Smog Panther somehow now.... the problem is how to find that smog panther.Honestly, what do you think? "

"Even if I told you so... I didn't think I'd be able to find a smog panther like this either."

Nielsen wants to find the Smog Panther as soon as possible, but it's not going to be that easy, so he's walking around in the woods.

"Ah, that kind of thing." Then don't worry about it.If you look slowly, that's fine. "

Ray didn't rush Nielsen because he didn't have to defeat the Smog Panther in a hurry.

In the first place, Ray went to Fairyland because of the Crystal Dragon in Gilm, and Egginis to avoid getting in trouble for reconstruction and other matters.

In that sense, it wasn't such a bad idea to take the time to defeat the Smog Panther.

Not to mention, there could be quite a few unknown monsters in this forest.

Then as for Ray, it was better to act slowly.

"Really? If Ray says so, I don't mind... I'll ask, but that's really fine, right?"Actually, why don't you rush to find a smog panther later? ”

“Basically, that's not what I meant.I don't need to do anything in particular under the circumstances.It's just... well, it's definitely not true.If something happens along the way, it may change a lot. ”

Nielsen was relieved to hear Ray's words.

If it was Nielsen, I might want to take a closer look at the forest.

Anyway, there's a case of the species we found earlier.

Although Nielsen did not know the smell, Ray was very concerned that the smell of the seed was sweet.

However, it seems that it is difficult for Ray to cook it, so he can actually eat the seeds only after the end of this forest.

In that sense, in order to eat the chocolate-scented seeds quickly, we needed to defeat the smog panther in the forest as soon as possible.

(But besides the seeds, there seem to be many other interesting things here.)

Nielsen felt that way as he flew a little in front of Ray.

Only curious Nielsen is very happy to be able to come and move freely in a forest like this.

Since there are orders from a long time ago, I can't imitate you moving on your own in the true sense of the word.

However, given the current situation, there was no doubt that the current situation was quite satisfactory.

Smog Panther... I heard about it, but it seems like a pretty troublesome monster when you actually encounter it.

Grrrrrrrrrr!

Ray murmured, and if anything happened to him, he throated.

In Set's case, it doesn't change how you defeat the beings you're supposed to fight.

If Ray is happy to defeat such a Smog Panther, I won't spare any effort.

Not to mention, by defeating Smog Panther and acquiring Magic Stones, I could become stronger again.

With that in mind, it must be natural for Sete to look motivated.

"Oh, come on, Set....... Besides Smog Panther, if you find spiders and deer, thank you."

Grrrr!

As for us, of course, Set throbbed.

The monsters of the lizard came out in swarms, so I got enough magic stones.

However, because each of the spider and deer was one stone at a time, naturally, only one stone was available.

"What are you going to do about finding monsters so far?"Well, Ray and Set could easily defeat monsters.She said that she had a hobby of collecting magic stones, but is that that important? "

“If you ask me if it's important, it's definitely important.I just don't think you'll understand this hobby.What is a man's hobby from the perspective of others?There are times when I think about things like that. "

For example, when I was in Japan, my hobby of collecting stamps was quite a major one, but if I asked Ray, would it be interesting to collect stamps? I think it's something like that.

Besides that, I've seen food and toys... somewhere unusual, the hobby of collecting empty cans is something else.

Do you want to collect them, too, from Ray?

But those who are collecting it are serious.

Even though Ray had a hobby of collecting magic stones, even though he knew about such circumstances, he understood that there were not many people who could understand it.

Or if you have a hobby that others don't understand as much as Ray does, it's probably a different story.

Not to mention Ray's hobby of collecting magic stones was only a camouflage of magic beast magic.

If someone with a hobby such as collecting it from people could not be understood if they said that it was a hobby, it was not strange that some people were angry when they learned about Ray's situation.

Ray's camouflage is the only thing that makes us hobby to collect something without being understood by the people around us.

(In that sense, even if there is a gathering that is collecting such things, I cannot participate....... I don't know if there's such a gathering)

If they said that they wanted to go to the place where such hobbyists gathered and see the magic stones that Ray was collecting, there were few magic stones that could be shown.

Basically, I used Magic Stones in Death Size and Set, but I sold other Magic Stones to my guild.

If you have a hobby of collecting magic stones, should you be a little more cautious around it? I think it's just a little bit.

I had to secure more magic stones one by one.

That said, if you were a group of lizards just now, it would be difficult to gather a large number of magic stones if you were an opponent acting alone like a spider or a deer.

In other words, after all... Ray suddenly noticed that he was thinking like that.

Mist?

"Huh?... ah, it's true. I didn't notice it at all."

What came into Ray's eyes was the fog that began to drift through the woods.

It was quite a thick fog, but I noticed that it was delayed because the fog was getting thicker by the minute.

But... foggy? In this situation?

If the lake is nearby or early in the morning, it is not surprising that there is fog.

But it's already daylight now.

It is not very comfortable, but it does not seem to be the weather conditions in which the fog occurs.

Since Ray doesn't completely remember all of the conditions under which the fog occurs, I can't deny that it may have occurred because of some kind of weather condition that Ray doesn't know about.

I can't, but... I've been able to figure out what makes this fog easier than that.

"Foggy. Looks like we're in Smog Panther's territory."I don't know if I should say at last if this is the case. ”

Huh? Really?

"No, why are you surprised there?"

Nielsen shouted with surprise at Ray's words.

Although I was supposed to be on the same road as Ray as the guide, Nielsen said something like this, so it was impossible to be surprised.

"Ahahaha. Look, I was thinking about the seeds earlier."

"... should I use it as a living bait, as the chief told me?"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"Hey, what are you talking about!"Set doesn't agree with those words, either! "

Nielsen screamed in a panic at Ray and Set.

From what Ray looks like right now, I think he might be seriously baiting me.

In fact, Ray was definitely half serious.

Even if you feed them alive, they don't hit smog panthers that easily because they use fairy circles to transfer them.

I'll say it's that easy, but if I fail to avoid it, I will be eaten.

It's a living bait.

"Hey, stop calling them living bait!"Look, more than that, it's coming! "

He was arguing with Ray... or Nielsen, who protested against the bait, but he must have noticed something approaching him. He shouted.

"Ah!?"

Ray was surprised by the scream.

Ray was also aware that something was approaching.

But I didn't know exactly how far or where it was.

Nielsen's words were quite surprising, as if she understood the timing of the attack.

And because he was surprised, Ray succeeded in taking immediate action on the spot.

The space where Ray's body had kicked into the ground on the centipede seemed to belong to the cat family with sharp claws.

The cat's forelegs... you don't have to think about what kind of presence you're dealing with in this situation.

Smog Panther!

While shouting, he activates Nebula's eyes in a semi-reflective motion, casting the energy created by it.

It was just a blow to frighten the opponent, but at the moment when I thought it would hit the target, Smog Panther's forefoot changed into a fog and disappeared from the spot.

Troublesome

Although I had heard about it for a long time, it was clear that it had a very troublesome ecology.

Even if I attacked in the current situation, my body, which was definitely foggy, would survive Ray's attack.

That said, Ray has a number of options to choose from in this situation... first choose the best of them all.

Set!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Rae's sharply screamed voice.

I didn't say anything specific, but Set, who had always been with Ray, understood what Ray was asking for and activated the king's intimidation.

The roar from Set's mouth is effective as long as the opponent is not equal to or greater than Set.

And... as Ray expected, when he heard Set's roar, the Smog Panther suddenly fell to the ground holding the substance from the fog state.

While rushing toward such a smog panther, Ray pulled out a Death Size and Dusk Spear from the Misty Ring... and waved a Death Size.

If I dodged the Death Size attack, I was going to release a Twilight Spear Strike there, but fortunately for the Smog Panther, who couldn't move under the King's intimidation, I would be decapitated by the Death Size strike and die.
