Legend

"We know what we can do to track down our enemies, and what rare species we lead our enemies through."

At that moment when Ray shrugged so, the gaze of everyone on the spot, including Elaine, gathers to Ray.

"... well, what means is that?

"Before that. This means is equal to my wife's. If I don't use it here, it's dangerous for me too, so I have to use it on one condition."

"Say it."

"There is a magic in my magic called 'The Seed of Commandments'. It's about breaking the conditions you set when you use magic, for example, in this case, not telling others what I'm going to show you, and magic activates and burns down your body. If you can accept this, I'll use the trump card."

The moment Ray said that, a cut of the demon spear unleashed by Custe appeared directly next to his face.

"... you can ride the diagram too, can't you? You want me or Elaine, the nobleman, to use the magic that binds my actions when I'm a civilian? Give yourself up!

Murder from Custe spreads to the surroundings as that anger echoes around them. But Ray opens his mouth while taking it as if it were nothing.

"Seto"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

That word. With that word released from Ray's mouth, Seto's forefoot is swung down to the demon spear that Custe had and slapped to the ground.

"Gu!"

No matter how confident Custe is in his arms, there's no way he can compete with Griffon's power. Not to mention that Seto is equipped with a magic item called a rigid bracelet, whose power is amplified.

Lightly slapped his own demon spear to the ground and groaned Custe in his paralyzed hand.

Ray continues his words with such a cold glance at Custe.

"If you really don't like drinking these terms, that's fine. You guys should try this dungeon alone. I'll ride Seto back to the ground."

"Don't be ridiculous! You must be the adventurer sent to Uncle Larks Borderline as an escort in the first place! You think that's okay to abandon your escort and get away with it!

"Huh, if you ever have to look down on scattered people, is that it? I guess it's typical of a nobleman who hasn't matched his enlarged pride with his strength."

"You!

It was Custe trying to reach for the demon spear slapped to the ground with a paralyzed hand, but the moment that hand touched the demon spear pattern. Notice a death-sized blade that is perfectly attached to your neck muscle.

"What's up? Aren't you supposed to take that spear? You must be a proud spear, huh?

"Gu!"

Exactly instant. Try Elaine and the others who watched it, but if Custe tried to take any action, it was obvious that a blade poked at his neck would take his life. As a result, he opens his mouth without being able to move in a wide direction.

"Ray, I wonder if you could step away from Custe. I'm sure it's too much for Custe, but it's not enough to kill you, is it?

Even as I smile bitterly at Ver's words, I take the Death Size off Custe's neck.

Confirm that, Elaine opens her mouth to the side of Ver exhaling in relief.

"Seeds of admonition, you said. Is that what you really need?

"Right, because leaking to others about the trump card is a lot of inconvenience for me and Seto. There are three options you can get out of me. The first one uses this trump card to cut through this scene, provided you use the seed of the commandment. The second refuses to use the seed of the commandment. Also, I'm sorry in this case, but me and Seto are going to be breaking up with Lady Elaine and the others here. Third, a compromise proposal, but don't use my trump card. I can manage to get through this scene in the same circumstances as earlier. In this case, we'll act together as best we can, but if we have to, we'll let Seto and I get away with it, just like the second."

"... give me some time. By the way, how long before the flame wall disappears?

"You said about 10 minutes."

"... give me five minutes"

That's all I'm saying, Elaine, who meditates on her eyes and starts thinking about something.

I was Ray watching that, but I can call Ver from the side.

"You say you're breaking up with us, but come on, you know what happens after Lady Elaine dies on Uncle Larks' border territory?

"Oh. You'll take a little bit of it with the noblemen."

"That's why you offered those three options, knowing that?

"Even if you expect too much from me, who is only a Rank D adventurer in the first place. If you're really looking for an escort, don't look for a limited rank as far as Rank D, but you should pick a proper Rank A or B."

"... there are a lot of things going on over here. Custe...... anyway, what did Arla think when she heard what she was talking about?

Arla, who had Power Axe in her hand, answers Ver's query without hesitation.

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm just following Master Elaine's orders. If Elaine accepts the 'seed of the commandment', she respects it, and if she does not accept it, she respects it. And..."

Turn that gaze toward Ray as he swings the power ax he had loudly.

"If Master Elaine orders you to defeat Lord Ray, you will only accept it."

"... for once, that axe is mine. Nothing. I just lent it to Ara, and I didn't give up ownership."

"Right. Indeed, this Power Axe is the property of Lord Ray. But right now, I'm more free to use it than I'm borrowing, right?

"Hmm, I see. Is it coming? Sure, if that's the logic..."

Elaine's eyes can be opened as Ray tries to open her mouth further.

"Ray, I want to hear one thing. With what you call trump cards, you can certainly do something about this predicament, right?

"Sure, I can't say. But I assure you it will be much easier than before."

"... a compromise. Let's stop using the seeds and the dots of the commandments on this occasion. I don't know what kind of negative effects such magic would have on my body on the altar of inheritance. Instead, if I can safely serve my purpose on the altar of inheritance, I don't mind using the seed of the commandments and the doings before I escape this dungeon. I'm sorry, but this is the greatest concession I can make."

Ray listens to that word of Elaine and thinks inside.

(The fact that the altar of inheritance and doing something bad will probably cause some action on Elaine there. Then it is indeed awkward to be planting the seed of the commandments at that time. then……)

Chirali, and gaze at three other people besides Elaine.

You guessed the meaning of that gaze, Elaine opens her mouth again.

"I'm sorry, but I can't even allow you to use magic on these three people on this occasion. Even these three have things to do on the altar of inheritance."

"... believe that word as it is and use my trump card," he said?

"It will. But if you do what you say, if you make it through here safely, and after you've done what you have to do on the altar of inheritance, I promise you, in the name of the Duke of Keller, that I will accept the seed of that commandment."

"... the Duke's house, is it"

Squirting, at the end of his gaze is Custe staring at Ray with an evil eye. From that attitude, it was Ray's honest feeling that he could not be relieved even if promised in the noble name.

Elaine would also have seen ahead of that gaze and understood what Ray wanted to say. Open your mouth again with a bitter smile.

"Then let's make a promise in the name of General Princess. Will you take this?

"... ok. If you swear by the name of Elaine's princess general ringing in the neighborhood, I'll believe it too."

"Um. Custe, Ver, Ara. You don't mind the three of you, do you?

On the question, Ara nodded without hesitation, and Custe and Ver nodded with disapproval.

"Now, can you explain that back hand and what you did? Is it time for the flamewall effect to end?

"Right. Seto!"

"Gru."

Seto rings and approaches Ray's call.

"The wife's hand is about Ceto. As far as this is concerned, Ceto looks like a normal griffon, but in fact, you can do a lot of things that other griffons can't do with a kind of rare species. For example... Seto, fire brace against the flame wall."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's instructions, Seto honks high, opens his cuckoo and breathes heavily… at the next moment he spits out his undisputed firebrace and hits several water monkeys who were watching Rays across the flame wall. There was no reason to just wrap water around the outside of the fur just to stop it with a single blow, but still, he did quite a bit of damage. Watermonkey screamed away from the flame wall.

Ray opens his mouth again to Elaine and the others who are watching the scene.

"As you can see, we can do things that normal griffons can't do. There are a few others, but this time we're going to use them to reduce the speed of all enemies who hear Seto roar."

"... what? All the enemies, huh?

"Yes, you can slow it down by roughly 10%. Some other enemies seem to shrivel at the roar, but this one shouldn't expect so much."

Seto is praised for Ray's words and rubs his head all the time.

I'll scratch Seto's head with a grin on that look, Ray.

"Surely the characteristic of the water monkey is that lightness, and if you're going to say that even about 10% of the speed can be reduced, as Lord Ray said, isn't it hard to get through this place?

"Yeah, I guess I agree with Ver. What about Custe?"

"... Huh, whatever you want"

Custe responds by sounding her nose at Ara's words. But for a moment, it was an abomination to my gaze toward Ray.

"Now let's use Seto's abilities to break through here. It's easy to do. Seto uses a roar the moment the effect of the flame wall disappears. It's a little over where the enemy's speed has slowed down."

(roaring, huh. Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you about the king's intimidation or something, so should I go through it with a roar)

"I don't mind a little breakthrough, but is it okay to go in the same direction as just now?

Elaine nodding at Ver's words.

"We're on our way to the fifth basement. So there won't be a problem."

With that said, I turn to the flame wall, where the momentum of the flames is gradually weakening.

"Well, it's time. Everybody, check your gear. You may be a little tough on your health, but you're gonna cut through it all at once!

Each confirms his or her own weapon in that order. That said, the three weapons Ray, Elaine and Custe are magic items, so there's absolutely no problem at the moment. As for Ver, the bow and arrow have been refilled from Ray's mystering, and there is no problem with this. The last one, Ara, rather holds the Power Axe in one hand to see if it fits better than the long sword she used until earlier.

And a few minutes pass full of tension...... flame walls abruptly extinguish. At the same time, the water monkeys are caught up in missed opportunities. And...

"Seto!"

Listening to Ray's signal, Seto activates the king's intimidation and rings high.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

The moment I hear that voice, it's obvious that the water monkeys move dull. And Ray and Elaine didn't have a long personality enough to miss that momentary gap.

"Let's go, it's a breakthrough! Intercept only the enemies that are coming at you!

Earla and Custe are the ones running the lead. Earla intercepts a flying enemy with Power Axe while slowing it down. As the name of Power Axe suggests, that blow, wielded, would be head, but hands and feet, or torso, would literally bounce off. After Ara's passage, things like limbs, heads, or guts were scattered from water monkeys. Next to it, Custe also accurately pierces the torso of the water monkey, which has been carrying out and attacking the demon spear again. Demon spears with the ability to manipulate water were nothing but natural enemies for water monkeys who covered their fur with water and used it for defense, or as a water polo.

And from behind the attackers are released several water polo balloons that were flown as cover. The speed of the water polo itself remains unchanged from earlier, although the movement until the water polo is released will be dull even if the King's intimidation is used. Intercepting it are the middle guards Elaine and Ver. One after the other, the water balloon is intercepted by a continuous sword that is stretched and lashes in length, and the water is scattered to the ground before landing the bullet. And the water monkey who unleashed the water polo was blunting his movements because he had been properly intimidated by Seto's king, and was shot through by the arrow that Ver unleashed.

The easiest ones would probably be Ray and Seto, the rear guards. In any case, because of the presence of Seto, who unleashed the King's intimidation, the Watermonkeys cannot be attacked with fright, fear, or fear. Still, a few manage to move that dull body and hit Ray running next door, not Ceto, but not just a few, not to set up a volume battle. It was also the slow-moving enemy that was mowed to life by Ray's waving death size.

"Master Elaine, it looks like we're going through the woods!

The screams of Arla, who was running the lead. When a line of sight pointed in that voice in the direction of progress, it was certainly possible to find a gap in the forest at the end of the sight.

"All right, we're going through this all at once! Unless it's in the woods, this one's in your favor!

To Elaine's instructions, they all came together through the woods... and found a water monkey about 2 meters in size as if waiting ahead.
