Legend

It happened in the guild, about an hour after I saw the battle between Lenora and Kenny's woman. Ray and Seto's appearance was outside the city of Gilm.

The central part is like vacant land, with trees growing around it as if to cover and hide the places that are vacant.

Yes, it's a place I've used several times before to absorb demonic stones. Sometimes even the speed of movement of Seto from the city of Gilm is somewhat in a time-consuming place, sometimes the point of being able to absorb demon stones without worrying about the surrounding eyes and the fact that monsters are present in the vicinity, so Ray preferred to do the absorption of demon stones here, which is indispensable for the person trying out his newly acquired skills.

"... it's been a long time since I've been here, but it's just on the edge, and there's no way someone's here."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Compared to before and when I came, Ray shrugged looking at the surroundings almost unchanged, and I just rattled my throat and agreed that Seto was in agreement.

Of course I haven't been here in months, so the details are different. Like, for example, a tree that some kind of monster seems to have knocked down is rolling on the ground, or a monster's bones and thought beings are falling to the ground.

Initially Ray had a pale expectation that there might be demonic stones left, but there was no reason to go that conveniently. The only thing left was purely bone. As far as the skin and gut kind don't exist either, I guess it's not the monster that was killed yesterday today.

"Even if you have bones here like this, you're blind. Looks like we've been rolling around here for quite a while, so we won't even be able to use it as a material."

When I step on it with Slapenil's shoes, it breaks lightly even though I didn't put that much effort into it.

I didn't know what monster bone it was from Ray's eyes because of the scattering of bones, but it was still a fact that it was eye-catching.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Seeing Ray smash his bones, I guess he thought it was some kind of play. Seto lets himself do it as he rattles his throat, so he turns his circular eyes to Ray.

Ray was lost in those eyes for a moment, but it is more than a fact that there is a bone on the ground like this, I think it would be nice to have Seto carry it somewhere while letting him play.

"Right. So, Seto, will you throw this bone out of here somewhere you can't see? Of course I don't mind breaking or destroying the bones I carried.... I just think you should stop eating."

The body is a lion, but given the nostalgia, to Ray's words toward Ceto, who can imagine a dog, Ceto joyfully rattles his throat and quickens and flies across the tree with a couch of bones that look like a femur.

There is naturally more danger than this is the border, but I still don't think Ceto, the Griffon, can handle it, and I don't think a high-ranking monster will show up enough to manage Ceto in the first place. Having so decided, Ray retrieves the demon stone and death size of the flying dragon from Mystering after dropping off Seto.

About 5cm in diameter. A magic stone that is unlikely to be a dragon's magic stone, but it is nonetheless true that it is a dragon's magic stone. Determine without a doubt that some skill will be available and throw the Demon Stone up into the air with the Death Size in place...

"So that you can master your skills!

Draw an arc in the air and wave the death size down to the falling demonic stone.

At the next moment, the Demon Stone is slashed and torn by a Death Size blade and disappears like a Summer. And...

[Death Size mastered 'Power Slash Lv.2' skills]

Such an announcement echoed into Ray's brain.

But Ray frowned slightly when he heard the announcement.

Of course I am happy to have acquired new skills. It's precisely the level of skill I was acquiring, but I still can't complain if I try to lay down the power of the skills that I used more frequently there. But still...

"Why is the skill you acquire with the Demon Stone of the Fei Long a power slash?

Yes, that was the problem. Ray remembers fighting the Fei Long in his head. The first thing that strikes me most is the firebrace, naturally. Maybe I can't call it a firebrace because I was throwing up fireballs precisely, but if I were to still classify it, it would be a firebrace. Then it was only natural as Ray to expect the skill of skipping a flaming slash like a flying slash, or the skill of covering a death size with flames. But what I learned was to level up my power slash.

"Well, they did attack me in battle using hook claws and stuff growing on my feet...?

Judging that in the battle scene past the back of your brain again.

I was able to get less skills, so I thought it would be better than not getting anything.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

I guess Seto also heard about the skill acquisition announcement. Ray greets her with a grin as she watches as she approaches herself with wings flapping.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Why are you using demon stones where you're not! But it was Seto's chirping, but Ray strokes its head with a grin.

"Look, don't get too angry. More than that, this is Seto's demon stone."

Take the other demon stone and offer it to Seto.

"Gru."

A glimpse of the demonic stone placed on Ray's palm, but Seto gazes to the side with a pretense. The way it looked, I just seemed angry no matter how I looked... or messed with it.

While I smile bitterly at how such a partner looks, I take the Fangboree skewers out of the mistering to get in the mood.

"I'm sorry. See, you can still eat this and fix your mood."

"Grr?...... Grr!

Though I turn my gaze to the skewer for a moment, that's why I turn that way again just because they don't make the acquisition.

But still, I guess skewering still bothers me. The lion's tail is shaking.

Originally, even a knight wearing a full plate armor has enough power to wield it lightly. Such a shaky tail would only remember a threat if it were normal. But Ray gently reaches out and begins to stroke around Seto's waist to forgive him.

"Look, it was my fault. Fix my mood. When I get back to the city of Gilm, I'll take you to the full pavilion."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

True? Seto turns his gaze to Ray all the time.

I guess I finally got in a good mood when I nodded with such a serious look on Ceto. In the meantime, I will put up with this, and I will cleverly peck the skewers with a couch.

When it comes to skewering, it's a human skewer. For Seto, that's how he feels about picking a little bit and eating it, leaning his neck and demanding his gaze on Ray when he leans on the demon stone.

Seto is over 2m long, but if he still tries to do that, his circular eyes go together, and he has the impression that the nostalgic cat is sweet.

However, given its length, I can't call it a kitten.

"Look, not at all. It's not like I'm replacing dessert. Just eat it."

This time Seto takes up the demonic stones of the Feilongs offered so, without complaining, with a couch, and swallows them as they are.

Ray, who watched as the snake swallowed the eggs for a moment, passed the back of his brain, especially not saying anything about this. And...

[Seto mastered the skills of 'Firebrace Lv.3']

Such an announcement flowed in the back of my brain.

"This one was a natural skill in a way."

It was convincing to Ray that what Seto had mastered was a level increase in firebraces, more than that the main way to attack Fei Long was to throw up fireballs. Better than leveling power slashes at least.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Even for Seto himself, I guess it feels good to have increased the level of user-friendly firebraces. Ringing my throat in a good mood.

Or I'm pretty sure there's a reason why Ray's in a good mood.

Ray and Seto shared their joy with each other for a few minutes as they were, but eventually when they settled down, it would mean first trying new and remembered skills.

"Seto, I beg you first. For once there are trees growing around you, use them against the sky."

"Gru!"

Leave it to me, I'll just ring, and I'll keep my mouth straight up.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Firebraces released with such a roar. Its flaming breath, released from Seto's couch, was undoubtedly thicker than ever before, and its density of flames was higher.

Lv.2 firebraces were also a powerful enough way of attacking, but I'd say the flame now that Lv.3 is a blow that you can definitely describe as a Special Attack first.

"... for that matter, it hurts that I can no longer use it in public."

If it is powerful, the limitation that it will be unusable in public will increase. I can't help thinking about that, Ray, but I think there were a lot of things that prevented Seto from showing his strength to the fullest for that reason.

(If I could put it together, it would be a scorching wind, or two people, Elaine and Ara. Given that, I guess it's just fine that I can go to the labyrinth city with Elaine...... Elaine, huh)

It reminds me of Elaine's appearance and the feel of her lips in a chain reaction.

"Gru?"

Seto rattles his throat worryingly to Ray, who suddenly stopped moving.

"Hey, bad. Nothing. Anyway, Seto's firebraces have grown in power and become quite user-friendly. Not many occasions yet, but enough for a trump card when you have to."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Isn't that amazing, just stroking Seto's head bragging his throat, then Ray gripping a death-size pattern.

"Well, then I'm next. Powerslash's Lv.1 makes one blow more powerful, but the death-size slashing flavor of the thing was dull. Finally, it was a skill to be able to use Death Size as a weapon like a stick..."

Squeeze and turn your gaze to the growing trees as you surround them.

Among other things, we approach the first tree we see.

Slowly, slowly, make sure every step of the way approaches a tree that has an adult torso thickness and shakes up the death size.

"Power slash!

The death-sized blade shaken down with that word impacted the trunk of the tree instead of slashing and tearing at the moment I thought it hit the trunk of the tree...

"I see."

Attacking with a giant sickle blade does not show any slashing wounds, but transmits its destructive power to the inside and breaks the trunk.

After a few seconds, the sound of mechanics is heard, and the tree on which Ray attacked falls to the ground like a broken branch of a tree with all his strength intact.

Ray watched the scene a little further away, but there was a grin on his mouth.

"I see you're gaining a lot of power even though you've just become Lv.2"

Because I've used it quite a bit before, I found it to be a lot more powerful than before. Until now, the Power Slash has often been used to hit the opponent's weapon, but this level increase has made it a blow that can do enough damage to the armor, or even from the top of the shield.

"You would also be able to deal effective damage to monster opponents like you have a methyl or crust.... Ouch!

Squeeze, gaze at the dull pain that ran into your hand.

What was there was both my wrists, which were thin and blue-purple. I don't have that much pain if I move it slightly, but when I get a blow like swinging a death size, I get blunt pain.

"Gru?"

Are you okay? I take the potion out of the mistering and hang it sequentially on my left and right wrists with a small nod to Ceto, who rings as if to ask.

I guess it wasn't that bad of a sprain. The pain healed in about a few seconds after hanging the potion, and the color of the skin, which was blue-purple, also returned to its original color.

"You're worried. You're okay."

Ray gently strokes Seto's back with his pain disappearing arm. Griffon-specific… or enjoying the smooth hairy feel characteristic of Ceto, but frowning lightly.

(Highly powerful. I admit that. But the recoil is also huge for that matter. Then you won't be able to use it for a detour. Anyway, if you use it as your last attack when defeating your enemies, if you use it poorly in the middle of a fight, you'll be disadvantaged in subsequent fights.... Could it have leveled up and made it harder to use it the other way around?

They were determined to use the shock, even though it was not small enough for unexpected results, but they could still use the shock completely.
