Legend

The sunlight falls as you make intense self-assertions, the sand that takes your feet, and even more, the air is dry and your throat dries up just breathing normally.

"Yeah, no, shit! Are you out again? And he said it was a sandworm! Scatter! Don't solidify in one place! You're gonna get him all wrapped up in his rampage!

Following that voice, three of the foursome parties position themselves so that each quickly scattered around a sandworm that appeared out of the sand.

The one remaining takes a distance with a large backpack on his back, aiming for a gap with an arrow on his bow.

This party was requested by the Silva family, Spear Frog's Abnormal Species Crusade, and naturally has the corresponding fighting power.

Usually operating around the basement 20th floor, not even the best in Eggzil...... but still about the best and a half strength was the party I have.

Although it is such a party, Porter's man naturally also carries out acts other than carrying luggage, such as carrying out an attack with a bow from a distance.

Certainly not as powerful or precise as a real archer. It was only a strength to the extent that it could be towed, but it was still a big difference from the fact that there was no towing from a distance. Especially at this party where the other three work as avant-garde, including bandits.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!

A man waves down Paul Axe from behind to Sandworm as he roars to draw Sandworm's attention.

Sandworm tries to turn behind the man's voice, but Porter's unleashed arrow pierces Sandworm's body as if he were aiming for the timing.

I just pierced Sandworm's over 5m long, even steeper or nothin ', but still, naturally there's pain. I look from Paul Axe's man attacking me from behind to Porter's man...

"Shhhhhhhhhh!"

In the next moment, the long sword held by the bandit, who was killing the signs and packing the intermission, slashes and rips Sandworm's torso into one horizontal letter.

Speaking of ordinary bandits, they use the type of dagger as a weapon, but they were part of a fine offensive role at this party.

"Whoa, whoa!

The next thing rolled out was a spear held by a warrior who was also the leader of this party. A quick, sharp, nearly ten consecutive thrusts into the other side of the torso slashed by bandits within seconds.

The spear released implants its tip into the torso of the sandworm and stimulates pain.

It was a sandworm trying to turn to the leader's man for another intense pain...

"Shhhhhhhhhhh!"

Paul Axe's man, who was looming from behind, flashed Paul Axe with force. In the next moment, the sandworm's torso would be slashed... rather than described as crushed, seemingly divided into two parts.

A breathless sandworm eventually while raising the voice of the disconnected demon. But still, the men are alert to the sandworm that stopped moving... and wary of any other monsters attacking them.

Eventually it would have been a few minutes as it was and decided that Sandworm's breath had stopped altogether. The atmosphere inside the party was finally somewhat soothing.

Still, I don't completely de-alert my surroundings, probably because I've already been attacked by monsters many times since I came down to this basement 11th floor.

A man of the leader opens his mouth to the man of the porter who approached him with a bow.

"Is the amount you can hold still okay?

"Oh, no problem. But if we keep getting attacked at this rate, we'll reach a tolerable level soon. You'd better just leave the stripping out of the sandworm to the part where it sells high."

"I know. If I can still afford to go home, I can take some materials to take a place or something. You guys, let's start with the crusade proof site and the demon stone stripping!

"Ugh."

Following the leader's orders, a man with Paul Axe slaps a weapon against Sandworm's torso and breaks his belly.

Porter's man and leader also work with a man with Paul Axe to start stripping material.

But in less than five minutes, the voice of a bandit man who was on perimeter alert without participating in the stripping rings around him.

"This sound... chip, I'm stopping stripping! Skull Eagle from above 2......... No, 3, they're coming!

"Oh, oh, shit, that's a pain in the ass! All ready for battle!

As ordered by the leader's man, of the birds that have raided from above - but all but the head is made of bone - immediately stop stripping the sandworm toward the monster and take a combat stance.

"Damn, you're still a bullshit creature to say that most of your body is actually made of bone by the name of Skull Eagle, but not undead!

"That's a monster!

While returning words to Paul Axe's man, a porter man bows and arrows all the better than not to do it, eventually entering the fight again.

"Well, there's only the desert and there's the kind of oasis."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

When the other parties were fighting more or less repeatedly, Ray and Elaine, as well as two and one of Seto, were arriving at an oasis in the desert.

Not a single battle was fought between reaching this point and encountering enemies was surprisingly low compared to other parties.

… Yes, until now, it will be annotated.

An oasis that is neglected in the desert. It's just the perfect water field for monsters in this hierarchy, there couldn't have been any monsters here.

"... you're here"

"Oh."

Elaine also replies to Ray, who groans as she builds the Death Size, as she reaches for the Pattern of Connecting Swords as well.

Seto, speaking, was sinking his body into small pieces so that he could jump out at any time.

And...

"Gah! Gah! Gah!

"Gagga, gagga, gagga!

"Gyogi!"

"Gah, gah, gah!"

Such, several monsters show up with a familiar voice somewhere.

Ray was only as tall as Ray's chest. Of course Ray knew Elaine and Seto. Being at the top of the monster in terms of visibility. That is...

"Goblin, huh"

Ray whines as if he was poked at the impression that it was Goblin who showed up.

"No, goblins are goblins, but they're not regular goblins."

With his gaze toward the nearly ten goblins that appeared in front of him next to Elaine looking around him, Ray soon notices a difference from a normal goblin.

Normal goblins have green skin, but the goblins that appeared in front of them were brown… more accurately, they had colors that could also be described as sandy. Even more normal goblins have good sticks, good, rusty daggers and long swords. But what the goblins now show up in front of the Rays have are sharp long swords and daggers, equipped with leather armor that seems to have been made of some animal or monster leather against goblins with nothing on to protect them from.

To such Ray's point, Elaine also opens her mouth with her gaze to the goblin that appeared in front of her again as impressed.

"Probably the top species of goblins."

"Oh."

Goblin is very weak as an individual, and if it is someone who has some fighting skills, even the average person may defeat one. But for that matter, it is highly fertile and the generations are shifting quickly. In other words, there are basements that can be adapted to harsh environments to some extent.

Of course, not all goblins can adapt to the environment just because the basement is aligned. No, there are very few individuals who can adapt to the Ningro environment.

"Gah, gah, gah!

Probably Goblin's own language. Ray and Elaine didn't know what they were talking about, but they still understood the meaning of the action that came with the sword. I mean...

"Are you trying to get rid of us? Peeling a figure from a person who strips material... is caught up in good shape, should I say so?

"What do you mean, bandet goblins?... What do we do?

"You won't even have to ask. You're an unknown monster, so let me take you down."

Ray's mouth has a grin only at monsters who weren't on Zeppyre's knowledge or monster drawings, etc.

Looking at Ray like that, Elaine gives a look that she can't help, but still pulls the jointed sword out of her sheath as if she's not going to miss the bandet goblin.

"Gru!"

Speaking of Seto, he leaps with a few steps of help to avoid letting the bandet goblin escape and circles to the other side with his wings winged.

"Gah, gah, gah!?

"Giggy, giggy!"

"Gagaga, Gyogi!

We were never frightened when we saw ourselves, and on the contrary, we had some confusion with the person we were about to hit, but still the confusion calmed down when one, bandet goblin, who seemed to be a leader, screamed as though he was okay anyway.

I guess what doesn't even show signs of escape even though there's a griffon ceto is that even if it was a superior species, the intrusion would still be goblins.

(... maybe these guys don't have any abnormal species either... no)

As far as Ray knows, there's only one abnormal species. Whether it be Queen of Sword Bee, Stone Papette, and Spear Frog, who is also the subject of this crusade request.

If you think about them, it's not an abnormal species in front of you. I think so too, but there was still some doubt.

(The Preades told me there wasn't a goblin in this hierarchical monster, was there? I'm really curious about that area...... no well, if I take it down for now and bring the body back, would it be clear? Abnormal species will get more rewards for success with abnormal species, and most importantly, even if we secure about two demon stones this way, it's not difficult to match Tsuji together if we adjust the number of bodies to be given)

The first thing to do is decide to defeat the 10 or so bandet goblins in front of you, wielding a death size all with traction.

Flying slaughter!

Slash emitted from the shaken sickle. The absorption of Sandsnake's Demon Stone raises the level to 3, and the number of slaughters itself has not increased, but still increases all the magnitude, power, and speed of the slaughter unleashed.

A half-moon shaped slash is unleashed, slashing and tearing the air to the bandet goblins in front of the Rays.

"Gaggle, gaggle!"

One of the leading men tries to take the place of a shield with a sword in his hand, surprised by the slaughter coming towards him... but that was a step too late.

He is amputated in the middle of a move to bring the sword in front of his body, and at the same time his torso is amputated.

The slaughter unleashed splits the leading bandet goblin up and down all the leather armor, without weakening its power, to the other individuals behind it…

"Gah, gah, gah!"

"Gaggle, gaggle!"

Two of them get their left and right arms amputated and scream.

The leading bandet goblins scatter blood, organs and flesh pieces into the sand, and the two behind them drop their arms and blood to the ground.

Blood, which is only desert and also moisture, is sucked into the sand instantly, but the other meat and organ species remain in the desert.

"Huh!

Elaine's jointed sword was unleashed just as she continued after such a ray.

The articulated sword, whipped by passing magic, slashes and rips off the bandet goblin by the body on each side, or the tip of the sword pierces the forehead and takes its life with a single blow.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!

Nearly half of the attacks by Ray and Elaine alone had already rendered them incapable of combat, but Seto's water polo was the next to be released.

Two chunks of water about 30 cm in diameter are released and hit the goblin. At that moment, all the places touched are scattered.

Those who hit the head immediately put out the fire of life, those who hit the torso for a few seconds or so touched the belly with an expression that did not understand what had happened, and when they knew that there was nothing of their flesh that should have been there, they came up with an expression such as incredible with their flesh pieces and guts scattered across the ground... the light of their will disappeared from their eyes.

If it were to be the bandet goblins, you wouldn't even have thought you could unilaterally do this far to someone you only saw as prey. It rings like confusion and still thrusts toward Ray and Elaine all the time in retribution without imitating her escaping for some reason.

Two of the five satisfied, all others are wounded to the body, an attack in a situation that cannot be fought properly.

Still, I guess there was some wisdom left around heading towards Ray and Elaine, not Seto behind. Humans can still manage better than griffons, he said.

But... as a result, a few seconds later, all the bandet goblins were supposed to be out of breath and expose the body to the desert.
