Legend

Set, having left the fairy town, naturally ran through the space of the fog.

Along the way, I encountered the wolves guarding the fog space, but Set just snorted too much.

The wolves were suddenly surprised, as if something had happened to them... but if you look at the ray on Set's back, it's nothing to worry about.

In fact, the wolves were surprised by the presence of Set, who had jumped out of the fairy home, but they were not confused.

I didn't burst into Fairyland, but I jumped out of Fairyland.

Or if it was a stranger, the wolves might have attacked.

But it was Set who jumped out of Fairyland.

I also understood that Ray and Nielsen were there because of the smell.

That's why we decided we didn't have to go after them.

Set jumps out of the fog space and runs toward the desired location.

"But how on earth do you think that stranger showed up?"

Ray straddling Set's back asks Nielsen standing on his right shoulder.

Ray only heard from Nielsen that a new battle had been fought against a former battle party... or that a battle party had appeared, so I don't know exactly what happened and what happened.

That's why Ray wanted to hear more from Nielsen about this while Set was running.

"That doesn't make sense to me, does it?" It's just... yes. I'm pretty sure it's in that place now that the chief feels guilty. ”

If that happens, I hope you don't take advantage of your previous experience to bring it to life and kill it all at once.

If you try to extract information about a stranger bypassing them alive, you'll probably... no, surely swallow the strangeness and commit suicide as before.

It's a shame in the sense that we can't extract information if it's just suicide, but that's not just suicide for a stranger.

By swallowing the monsters... no, I wasn't exactly a monster without the magic stones, but it was like that anyway.

It was very troublesome for Ray.

The human form of black dust returns to its human form as soon as it attacks.

I was able to use Ray's magic and finally burn it up.

There might be some other way to deal with such an opponent, but for now, it's only Ray's magic.

Besides that, it's definitely better to clean it up before it gets too much trouble.

(At one time, I will gather high ranking adventurers and aliases of Gilm and try to see if there is a way to kill the human form of black dust... I wonder if it's impossible.)

Ray immediately denied the idea.

Many adventurers want to keep their backs to themselves.

In Ray's case, it was a fire whirlwind, and it was a magic beast magic skill.

Especially now, by acquiring the skills of terrain manipulation and the magic items of fog sounds, we have acquired the means of wide-area annihilation other than fire cyclones, which have been synonymous with Ray.

... no, terrain manipulation and the sound of fog are magic that affects a wide area, but the word annihilation doesn't fit.

Although it is true that it has a great impact, it can lead the opponent astray, but it cannot imitate attacking a large number of enemies like using a fire whirlwind.

Ray didn't try to hide his skills, but whoever was hiding his backhand did something about the black dust human form, but whether or not he would accept it was a different matter.

"Anyway, it's not a bad idea to have a way to do something about it."

"If that's the case, I'll be glad to see you, but... are you okay?"

"I guess we'll just have to leave it to Master Dusker and the guild."... it's about time? "

Ray muttered, feeling that the flowing scenery had somehow become familiar.

But I have no absolute confidence in the words.

If this was daytime, I could have checked the surrounding scenery.

But it's already night.

In the woods, day and night are very different.

From Ray's eyes, I don't know if the sight I'm looking at is really where I think it is.

But... it was a story for Ray, and Nielsen, who knew more about Trent's Forest than Ray, knew full well where they were at the moment, even at night.

“Yeah, I think we're almost there.”

Nielsen returned to Ray's slightly puzzled voice.

Listening to Nielsen's words, Ray gave a complacent expression.

Apparently, my prediction wasn't wrong.

"Then, it's about time you felt the signs about the drowsiness..."

In the middle of his words, Ray sensed someone and murmured.

However, I definitely felt the signs, but I wasn't relieved by the tone.

If the main sign I felt was someone similar to the ones Ray had fought before...... In other words, his combat abilities were no different from those of ordinary people.

However, what Ray, who was now riding on Set's back, felt was clearly different from those people.

(What? Is this... people? I feel something is different.)

Ray was clearly different from the others in the way he felt.

And it seemed different from monsters and animals.

In other words, there was something else... that Ray thought of was the human form of the black dust.

The existence of a human body that has been altered by death.

The human form of the black dust seemed to resemble the characteristics of the sign.

"Grrrrrrr"

Ray felt the same sign as Set did naturally.

Set has a sharper sense than Ray, so it's no surprise that Ray noticed his signs before Ray did.

At the sound of Set, Ray turned to Nielsen on his right shoulder.

"It seems that it is not the unknown person who is waiting." That's what we should describe as the pestilence itself. The scene that Nielsen is looking at is being passed on to the chief, right? "

“Yeah, that's fine. Even I can see that I'm connected to the leader."

Nielsen nodded instantly to Ray's question.

The subtle expression on his face is probably because he feels that he is being watched over by the chief of his own actions.

If you're trying to play some kind of prank as usual, there's no doubt that you have a fear that you won't know what punishment you'll get in the future.

Usually, Ray would make fun of Nielsen, but under the circumstances, he couldn't afford to.

"Ok. Then I don't know what kind of person I'm going to contact, but can you still figure out the appearance of the enemy by the long side?" Well then, a little... a little bit of relaxation, really. "

Ray muttered in a way that made him feel at ease.

While listening to Ray's words, Nielsen decides to immediately do what he can if the opponent has something to do with it.

This is what Ray says.

There is no doubt that the opponent is not something that can be easily defeated.

If so, my magic could be used accordingly.

When I hunted Gamerion, the grass around me was almost withered, so Nielsen's magic could only imitate it to stop Gameron from moving for a few seconds.

But this forest is different.

Of course, I wouldn't be able to use my powers like spring and summer... but my magic was more effective than the grasslands.

"We're in contact with the enemy."

Ray, on Set's back, pulls out a Death Size and Dusk Spear from the Misty Ring and tells him so.

Do not make contact, but make contact with the enemy.

This meant that Ray knew from the start that the opponent ahead was an enemy.

But the same goes for Nielsen.

The enemy was a sign of a foolishness.

Aside from such opponents, it was clear that there was no choice but to fight.

The set slammed into the half-witted bush... and at that moment, it was a black mass that came into Ray's eyes.

It is not black at night.

It seemed to me that even in the sun, the black would remain the same.

If it was just a black monster, it wasn't that rare.

However, unlike such black, I don't know why, but just looking at the black mass makes me feel intense disgust in my heart.

I don't even know why Ray is so disgusted with it.

And there was not but one black mass, but two, three, four... and as far as it was numbered, there were ten more.

A black mass floating in the air would be worthy of being assessed as indeterminate.

Each of them moves freely in the air and changes its shape.

The size is about the size of a person's head.

However, there was only one thing that was different from the other black clumps.

The other black mass is about the size of a person's head, while the black mass is a circular sphere of about 1m in diameter, and it does not seem to move differently from the other black masses, but stays in one place.

I don't know what this black mass is like.

But there is definitely something that makes you physiologically disgusted just by looking at it.

"Flying slashes!"

Inspired by such disgust, Ray waved his death size and unleashed a flying slash.

The slash that was released flew straight toward the black mass....

"Tch, after all, Rika"

Although the black mass was cut, at the next moment, the black mass divided into two parts became one again.

Or maybe it wasn't cut, but maybe the slash went too far through the black mass.

However, the result itself was somewhat predictable for Ray, and the current blow was only a confirmation blow.

Considering the human form of the black dust, it's not strange that this black mass has the same properties.

In fact, the human form of the black dust was slightly different from the black mass that existed in front of me.

"Ray, what are you doing?!"

Nielsen screams in a hurry.

Unlike Ray, who was looking at the human form of black dust, it was only Nielsen who was upset the first time he saw such a shadow.

"I don't care what you say." You can't keep going like this.... it looks like they don't recognize us right now for some reason. "

It was a black mass cut by a flying slash, but it didn't look like it was going to hit Ray back.

It just looks like it's drifting through the woods at night.

... if there are many people who are disgusted just by looking at it, I think it would be good for Ray to describe this situation as just floating around.

"Do you want to try my magic...?"

Nielsen asks, but Ray shakes his head to the side.

"From that look, the plants are also... hey"

In the middle of his words, Ray muttered unintentionally to the sight he had seen.

The Trent Forest is basically a forest with many trees.

The exception is where the rays are felling, but where the rays are now is far from where the rays are working.

In addition to that, trees are naturally growing around here, and if an uncertain black mass is moving around in the air, it is naturally possible to touch the growing tree.

That in itself is not so surprising.

But... if the place where the black mass touched becomes black dust and is absorbed by the black mass, then the story is different.

What happens when black dust is absorbed by the black mass even to the half of the tree trunk?

As a matter of course, the trunk of a tree cannot be left untouched.

Not with me. And with mekimeki.

With such a sound, the trunk of the tree breaks in half.

Fortunately for Ray and the others, the direction in which the tree fell was not where Ray and the others were.

I didn't have to think about coping with the fallen tree, but that's just the way it is.

”This is... really troublesome.”

"Yes, it's not stylish just touching it."

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ray and the others speak their opinions in unison.

Even though I imitated it, I still had no choice but to feel aversion to the black mass.

Ray asked Nielsen, trying to be as unconscious as possible of the thoughts that still existed in his mind.

"So, you know this scene, don't you?" Do you have any idea what it's like over there? "

"It's a one-way street, so it's impossible."

"Knock it down, please."

The moment Nielsen said they couldn't, Rae and the others turned to look at the voice they heard.

And there was a black mass with a steep expression...... There was a long figure with the biggest black mass on it.
