Legend

"Gamelion"

Guess not, Hasta squeals the name of the monster she was targeting. The white monster, who was devouring the guts of goblins, stops the movement of devouring the guts of pitali and goblins when he hears that voice, and looks behind him only for a moment with a sharp eye.

And when I found out that it was the two adventurers there, I started poking my fangs at Goblin's gut again without looking particularly concerned.

However, about 1 m of tail swayed loosely and watched as if to restrain it.

"... Hasta, luckily he hasn't noticed Seto. Once we get out of here, we'll have Seto ambush us from above."

Ray calls out to his nervous back, but Hasta shakes his head small while holding onto the estock he had and denies the suggestion.

"You can't leave everything to Ray just because he asked Ray for help to deal with Gamelion. And there are terms from my father."

I remember Ray telling Hasta to fight for himself, not leave him alone.

"Leaving everything to Mr. Ray and Seto here is going to betray your father and mother.... Excuse me, Mr. Ray. Let me do it first. [M] If there's nothing I can do there, I need your help."

"... is that all right?

"Yes."

Reminds Hasta of the advice of the adventurer man he met when entering this meadow without hesitation.

(Maybe that's true when it comes to feeling runaway. But can't you do more than make it conditional? You just have to get your hands on this one as soon as it's dangerous)

Sighing inside, Ray nodding small.

"Okay. But I'd be in trouble if you died more than I did. If it's dangerous, I'll get my hands on it right away."

"Please"

Ray takes a short distance to see how things are going just as he watches Hasta set up an estock.

Of course, a death size is held in that hand so that you can get your hands on it as soon as there is any danger.

Seto was also lying on the ground so that Gamelion, who had perceived his presence, would not escape, and he was extinguishing the signs as much as possible.

"... I'm coming!

When nervous but breathing and screaming sharply, Hasta kicks the ground and shrinks her distance from Gamelion while holding Estock.

Humph!

Gamelion also shakes his tail sharply when he realizes that he is approaching...

"Huh!?

Its tail, wiggled like a whip, dropped its hips as it shrunk distance from the gamelion, and the hasta shredded further distance as it shredded the ground with its feet.

That appearance reminded Ray of the football sliding he saw on TV when he was in Japan.

"Ha!

Of course, a tail blow isn't that fast if you try to lay it with extrahuman physical abilities. That would be the way to chop it off with a death-size blade, or to prevent it with a pattern. And if you have to, it is not impossible to imitate it like avoiding it on a single piece of paper. However, Hasta's physical abilities could not have made such an imitation, and the result was the current sliding.

"Gaa!"

But if you tried gamelion, it wouldn't have been so unexpected to avoid an attack. The goblin carcass, which had devoured his gut until a few seconds earlier, is thrown as he turns to Hasta while making a grumpy noise somewhere.

No matter how big a human child is, or how much he eats his guts, his weight is better than 20 kg. If this was a common weapon like a normal adventurer with a long sword, a spear, or an axe, we could have done everything we could to get rid of Goblin's body. But what Hasta loves is estocks that specialize in poking, and naturally they can't imitate goblin carcasses. Or if you're ready to fold a weapon, that would be possible, but if you imitate that, you lose your means of attack against Gamelion.

In other words, Hasta had only a means of coping.

"I can't stop getting hit!

Scream as if to inspire yourself, pull the knife out with your left hand of those who do not have the estock while in the sliding state, poking it to the ground and forcefully stopping your own movement. At the same time, a goblin carcass passes right in front of the hasta, hitting a tree trunk a short distance from the ray and sprinkling the surrounding area with blood containing liquid.

"Huh!

He was a gamelion who was stopped moving only momentarily by a prey who suddenly stopped moving, but with that moment, it was enough for Hasta, who had a quick poke as his creed.

The tip of Estock's sword, released with the voice of temper, hits the base of Gamelion's tail without aiming. The body itself is covered in fur that boasts a high level of defense against the attacks of the slaughtering system, but it was not covered in fur with respect to the tail...

"Gah!"

Disconnected from the base of the tail, a scream leaking from Gamelion's mouth echoes all around him.

(Heh, you do it)

Ray sighs of admiration inside, although he remained death-sized so that he could follow him at any time.

"Not yet!

Without even seeing a tail fly about 1m, Hasta makes another sharp poke, instinctively understanding from an experience she's ever had as an adventurer that this is her biggest chance.

Where gamelion fur is not covered in its fur is more than it has high blade resistance. And where that blow would be lethal. That is, eyes just outside the brain. If you stick an estock in your eye, you can even destroy your brain as it is. That was Hasta's only chance to defeat Gamelion in one blow.

But I know my weaknesses, of course, even for gamelions. And naturally I knew how to respond when my eyes were targeted.

Gimp!

The sound of metal and metal hitting each other echoes around. The source of that sound is Hasta's poked estock. And...... the tip of a sharp ear that is turning into a gamelion blade.

"Become!?

"Gaaaaaaaa!"

It was a poke that had the quickness and sharpness that would undoubtedly be at the top of the battles I have been in many times if I tried it as a hasta. But the giant raven in front of him prevented it with an ear blade. A late mistake where you knew that ear was like a blade, but you couldn't afford a monster on the lattice.

And Gamelion, who prevented Hasta's estock with an ear blade, tried to show off his sharp fangs, opening his mouth and biting into Hasta...

"Huh!?

It's already too late to pull back the bounced estock and at least try to shield it. Gamelion's fangs take his own life before he pulls Estock back. The next moment I thought so.

Slash!

"Gaa...... a?

Gamelion's neck was lightly severed by a blow that activated Slapenil's shoes and ran up into the air, descending from a height of about 6m while wielding magic through Death Size.

"... Huh?

A head with fangs that would have been protruded into his body if it had been, was severed, and a voice leaked from Hasta, who had seen the sight passing beside him with some unrealistic thoughts.

"Are you all right?

Ray asks the death-size of Gamelion's neck cut like guillotine on his shoulder.

"Ah, yes. Yeah. Of course I'm fine... Huh? Is that it?"

A hasta that gazes many times at the blood that is bubbling momentum out of his severed neck and at the neck of Gamelion, which is rolling a little further away from him.

But Ray frowns slightly at the blood he's blowing out, regardless of such hasta.

"Can't you store it until you've lost some blood?"

Whimpering so like nothing.

……

Hasta just looking at such a ray in silence.

I heard rumors. Still, in the end, there won't be that much difference even if the fighting power itself is better than being the same Rank D adventurer you are. Somewhere in my mind, I thought it was because my ratings for Ray included those by Griffon, a Rank A monster.

But the skill that killed the Gamelion he was struggling with without suffering. It was true that even if Gamelion had concentrated his consciousness on himself, being like a kind of wax, he had slashed that neck off in just one attack. It also has a strong defense against slaughter, along with fur.

At this time, it can be said that Hasta felt in its own right the bottomless strength of an adventurer named Ray.

"So, I came to this meadow and I was able to defeat the monster I was looking for quickly... what do we do? You want to go home now? Or do you want me to finish a few more?

Ray asks as if he doesn't even care what Hasta thinks like that.

Ask the question and return it to me immediately.

"Oh, that. This is a limited time monster that only shows up here at this time of year, so the Alliance tells me that as much as possible, no more than five of them will ever have a single party to finish. So when you've finished one or two more, let's head back to the city of Gilm. Actually, I just thought I'd be lucky if I got one, because I didn't think I'd be able to find Gamelion as soon as I got here."

"I see.... by the way, if you're saying you live in the Devil's Forest, wouldn't you not let an unruly adventurer go into the Devil's Forest?

"Haha. Mr. Ray, again, you're a good joke. You don't have orders to enter the Devil's Forest in your favor. There are monsters out there that I can handle, but I'm talking about Rank B and Rank A monsters all over the place. And some of them are monsters of Rank S."

"... right"

Nodding at Hasta's words, I recall the dragon I saw slightly before when I went out of the Devil's Forest. I guess rank s means oh monster. It's a monster that would weigh heavily on me or Seto right now, even if it's less.

At the same time, the jarms of monsters like mustache encountered as they exited the Devil's Forest pass the back of their brains.

(That being said, I'm talking about Gamelion coming out of the Devil's Forest, but what's wrong with Jalm?

When I or Seto came out, I was attacked by more than 100 people... but I remember Jalm's habit.

(Well, it's nocturnal, so if you come out in the daytime, is that okay?)

While Ray thinks that way, Hasta dissolves, swallows and digests the surprise she had against Ray with Hasta.

And he opens his mouth as he rewrites his impressions of Ray dramatically within himself.

"And Mr. Ray is amazing. I can't believe I'm stopping Gamelion with one blow.... Honestly, even though they say it's strong and strong, I actually thought it might be because of Seto... that impression is no longer pretty and refreshing"

"Well, because I understand myself that my physique is not for adventurers. Thanks to the experience of many other adventurers."

"Haha. Indeed, Mr. Ray is small, and luxurious at first glance. 'Cause wearing that robe only makes me look like a little wizard with a short back."

Ray smiles unintentionally at Hasta for saying so, rather than lifting against himself.

"Naturally, they got what they deserved.... so you can end up finishing up with about two more gamerions before you go home, right?

"Ah, yes. If you do that."

"Right. Then it would be quick for Seto to look in the sky again. You're almost done draining blood over here."

I guess most of the blood already flowing through my body has spilled out. Bleeding from the neck has stopped and the smell of iron rust is spreading around the area so that it can be swallowed.

Is this the only salvation where it is in the woods and the smell will be scattered by the wind soon?

He touches Gamelion's carcass and stores it in the mysteries. Of course, don't forget the head that Ray himself cut off and the tail of the crusade proof site that Hasta slashed off.

"Bye, Seto. In the sky again...... Seto?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

It was Ray who tried to ask me to look for other gamelions from the sky, but Seto is turning his gaze from the woods he is in today toward the meadows, roaring as if to alert him to something behind his throat.

And at the next moment, Ray himself realizes that the sharp hearing he has is Seto's vigilant presence. What those ears hear is screaming. Anyway, run. Sounds like you're screaming for me to run. Soon approaching.

"... Mr. Ray?

But that's what I hear because it's only Ray, and at the same time Ceto. Hasta, a normal person, had no idea what Ray and Seto had found.

"Get ready. Apparently, the adventurers are being pursued.... What do we do? Do you want to help, or do you want to look for Gamelion, which is just what we're here for?

As you come to this meadow, which is said to be under the influence of the Devil's Forest, it will be your own fault no matter what happens. Ray asked like that, but on the contrary, it is true that in his mind he was half able to predict how Hasta would behave.

"That may be true, but there's no reason to abandon adventurers who live in the same city. Besides, there's Mr. Ray and Seto today. … I'm just relying on it."

"I thought you'd say that. Besides, I don't know what kind of monster is attacking me, but it's a great opportunity for me to collect demon stones. Seto wouldn't have a problem with that, would he?

"Gru!"

Seto snorts all the time asking me to leave it to him.

Hasta bows her head and thanks him for watching one of those and one of them.

"Thank you!

"Never mind. More than that, the adventurers we're after will go before this happens."

"Yes!"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Two and one jump the woods and return to the meadows.

And the next moment we return to the meadow, Hasta will be able to see the adventurers running towards us.

I guess the lack of shelter in the meadows made it possible to confirm its appearance. The four adventurers who are fleeing to the woods where the Rays are. And then they come after me, Gamelion.

Up to this point, it was only a development as Ray expected. The only difference is...

"Scarce species"

Potty grunting hasta.

Yes, the gamelions chasing the adventurers were nearly three times bigger than the gamelions the Rays defeated.
