Legend

Look, I brought Ray here, so clear a space for me!

When the researcher who brought Ray screams, those who heard it... the researchers who were in front of the prison of fire clear the space.

If this had been yesterday, I wouldn't have imitated such a thing as frankly opening up a place.

Still, I left the place open because that's how much of a hell of a flame there was... exactly what was happening to the wormhole that was captured there.

Ray, who had been given the place, looked at the hell again.

”This is... getting smaller.”

Similar to the murmuring words, the black circle that was definitely in the prison of fire had dwindled.

Not one or two, but all three black spheres captured in the prison of fire.

Ray didn't remember the size of the black sphere when he was captured in the fire pit.

However, the size is different from yesterday to be able to affirm that it is definitely getting smaller.

It is about half the size compared to yesterday.

"Ray, do you know why?"

Eugen asked, listening to Ray's murmur, as he watched Ray nearby.

If it's Eugen, I don't know why it's like this.

No, I can predict a few things, but I don't know if that's the right answer.

That's why I must have asked Ray if he had any idea what was going on.

But Ray asked like that, and he shook his head straight to the side.

"No, I don't know, but I can predict. It's just a prediction.

"That's fine. Ray is the one who knows the most about the trick." If there's anything that Ray can think of, it's easy for us to consider. "

I think Eugen's words are similar to those of other researchers.

The researchers around the prison of fire turned their attention to Ray.

"The black sphere... it might be called a black dice, but when it touches something, it turns it into black dust and absorbs it." But my prison of fire doesn't mean anything when it touches such a black circle. "

Ray's prison of fire could not turn it into black dust even if it touched the black circle.

Besides that, the black sphere can't absorb black dust.

That's why the black sphere has some kind of energy... from Ray's point of view, I can't get a meal.

That's why the black sphere drains energy, and the body becomes smaller due to lack of energy.

Ray explains the area in an easy-to-understand manner.

Researchers such as Eugen listened to Ray's words seriously.

And there's a little explanation, but.....

"What? I'm not surprised, am I?"

Seeing that Eugen and the others who heard Ray's explanation weren't so surprised, Ray shouted unexpectedly.

Eugen nodded honestly to Ray.

"I was also thinking about the area as a possibility." But that's only a possibility. I didn't know if that was actually the right thing to do. That's why I thought I'd ask Ray's opinion about this more than we do. ”

"No, as I said earlier, this is just my prediction, right?" It may be different, so think about it carefully. "

Ray doesn't think his predictions are so wrong.

However, it is not that I think that there is any certainty, it is merely a matter of conjecture.

That being the case, given the possibility that the insight is out of place, I can't say something like that bypassing it.

“I know, but I can't imitate Ray, who has the most contact with me.”

Ray was a little embarrassed by Eugen's words.

However, he decided that his opinions were only those of amateurs, and that it would be unnecessary for the experts to make statements until such things as how to perceive them, and changed the subject.

"So these black spheres... what do we do?"

“It's a tough one, and I'm also interested in leaving it like this and what happens as a result. Best of all, if you can defeat it, it's also an important research achievement."

That's what Eugen said, but I'm not so happy.

I'm glad that one of the properties of the eel has been newly discovered, but the reason why Eugen and the others were originally asked to conduct research on the eel is to know how to deal with the eel without Rey or Elena.

However, even though it was great to know that if you locked up by a prison of flames, you would die from weakness -- or lack of energy -- that was only because there was a prison of flames.

It would be nice if someone could imitate someone like Flame Prison to capture an opponent, but such a person would not be found so easily.

Even if you use a half-baked barrier technique, it is only by contact that the barrier itself is turned into black dust and absorbed.

After that, I hope there's someone other than Ray who has the means to capture her like this.

"Is that... is there still a possibility?"

If this is a normal place without borders or anything, there will be no one else who can capture the barrier in any way.

But this is the border.

Because of the frontier, there are some rare monsters and high rank monsters that can be fought.

... but recently, a lot of people have come to work on the expansion, and although the number of adventurers has increased, the average quality has decreased.

However, there were still quite a few high-ranking adventurers and those with nicknames.

Such people...... from those who are only average adventurers, I can only think of them as monsters. It's no wonder that some adventurers with such strength are able to capture pestilence.

In that sense, it is by no means a bad thing that the captured wax is clearly weakening in this way.

I'm not familiar with Gilm's adventurers, but isn't it strange to have someone like that around?

"In the meantime, we need to inform Dusker about this."... but can't you imitate me directly? "

When Ray notifies Dusker directly, the only way to do that is for Ray to actually go to the lord's house.

However, Ray couldn't move the Gilm with dignity because of the Crystal Dragon.

I had no choice but to board Set and go down directly to the lord's garden, but my hatred and my request via Elena were rejected.

It seems that Dusker didn't think it was bad, but he was opposed to it as unprecedented.

In the end, it was the only way to let Dusker know via Elena using a pair of orbs.

Elena, however, is the daughter of the noble leader, Duke Kelele, and has the nickname Princess General.

If such Elena were to meet with the Dusker, even if a meeting with the Dusker was booked, she would be able to miss the meeting.

Normally Elena wouldn't use such a method, but in this case, it was the situation.

In the worst case scenario, it was only natural to use the means at our disposal, beyond the destruction of this continent.

“Wait a minute. I'll let Dusker know about this."

"So, what do we do?" I think we should just keep looking at the weakness? "

I think it's better that way.

And while you're at it, what happens to Ray's bodyguard? and questioning.

This time, the researchers were called to escort them because the Eugenes were sleeping on the side of the lake... away from the camp.

However, considering that the biggest reason for being here, the bastard captured in the fire prison, is dying, don't you have to go out of your way to call the guards?

That's what Ray thinks, but he quickly denies the answer.

(No, I don't know where it will appear next. It is not necessarily present in the camp, and it is likely that this will happen again.)

It's quite a torrenting forest.

Given the size of the area, the camp Ray was using was really only part of it.

If you think about the time when you might be able to show up elsewhere, it was definitely better to have an escort for the researchers here.

However, at present, as a habit of frustration, it is only visible in the place where people are.

There are exceptions, like one case when it was a black mass, but other than that, since it only appeared where people were, this prediction is not wrong.

When that happened, it was still very likely that this place would be the place where the pupa would appear.

"Anyway, just stay here and wait." Even if this one dies, other ones will appear soon anyway. "

After that, Ray returned to the camp with Set and Nielsen, who were silently watching the situation.

I could have used a pair of orbs here, but I didn't know what Eugen would do if I did.

To prevent that, we should definitely use a pair of orbs away from here.

“Okay, let's do that.”

"Hey, Eugen-san!?"

Seeing that Eugene nodded honestly to Ray's words, one of the researchers at the scene shouted, "Why do you know Ray's opinion?"

As a researcher, I would have liked you to lift the prison of fire once and restore some vigor to your nerves.

Or maybe it was more or less emotional to observe.

Basically, Ray didn't know if it was going to be a feeling of emotion towards the opponent who was instinctively disgusted just by looking at it.

If you look at Ray who has seen it many times before, you have never felt disgusted until it was as pronounced as when you first saw it, but that doesn't mean your disgust has disappeared.

In that sense, the researchers usually look at the leaves and honestly think that it is amazing.

(Since you're a researcher, maybe you're used to this kind of thing.)

As a researcher, it is by no means an easy job to think of.

Ray enters the camp thinking he's a good adventurer.

And then, a few adventurers turned their gaze to Ray...... no, Ray and the others.

Some of them were looking at Nielsen like a fairy, or at Set like a set, but the rest of the adventurers were looking at Ray.

Eventually, an adventurer approached Ray.

Ray, what the hell happened down by the lake?

That's not just a question of interest.

If the adventurers were allowed to escort the researchers overnight last night, maybe the researchers will do something again and the impact will come to them.

I guess that's what it is.

Ray opens his mouth to reassure such an adventurer man.

It looks like I was captured in a prison of fire, but apparently I'm dying of hunger.

Ray and I don't know if hunger is a suitable expression.

I recognized them as monsters, and I counted them as one or two when I counted them.

However, considering the ecology of the monster, I actually get the impression that it is closer to a robot than a monster.

In that case, it would be more correct to say that the anger is dying not of hunger, but of lack of energy.

If you say that here, but you're so persuasive, then no.

"Tsk tsk tsk... that black circle!?" Is there anyone besides Ray and the princess general who can kill the bastard?! "

The man who heard Ray's words shouted with surprise, but another man who was close to such a man continued to speak.

"Besides Ray and the Princess General, in fact, it was Ray who captured the Flaming Prison." Then maybe Ray killed him this time, too? It's not a bad thing for me to die anyway... but wait a minute. So, what are you going to do about the people you called on purpose yesterday? "

He was a man who looked sober, but soon realized the next problem.

We've called in new guards, but the lake is dying.

In the end, everyone is going to have a lot of trouble in this encampment.

The man who thought so and the other people, but Ray said sadly to such an opponent.
