Legend

"Well, I've spent quite a bit of time in the oasis, and we need to hurry up a little bit."

"Is your body really okay now? Better get some rest..."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Storing the bodies of Bandet Goblin and Bandet Goblin Mage in Mystering, Ray quickly and only quickly attempts to head back to the search for Spear Frog.

Elaine and Seto are saying we should get some more rest worried about that, but there's no way Ray's gonna hear that.

"I fainted only because of a magical shock, with no sequelae whatsoever. I absorbed the Queen Bee's Demon Stone, but it has no effect on Seto. … Besides, we have to find out what's going on with the unusual species that cause the demon stone to be unusual."

Warcraft that absorbs demon stones and becomes stronger. There was a sort of outrage in the lay over the occurrence of anomalies in the demonic stone, which could be called its backbone.

(It's just, well... if you can't absorb the demon stone of an abnormal species, it remains doubtful that Seto could absorb the demon stone of the Queen Bee of Sword Bee after all. Skills could not be acquired, but absorption itself was nonetheless possible. Ceto and Death Size. This difference... what? Because Death Size is magically deeply tied to me in relation to being a magic item compared to the fact that Seto exists as one individual? No, Seto shouldn't change in that he mediates me. So... what's going on?

I gently wash my face in the fountain of oasis to regain my mind as I whine inside.

I guess I saw such a ray and decided it was no use stopping any more. Elaine also takes another small sigh and approaches Ray.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. Only he can tell what Ray's condition actually is. But, okay. As soon as I say if I'm looking for an abnormal species and there's anything at all wrong with my body. And naturally, there is the case of Seto, and the demonic stones of Spear Frog's anomalous species, which are also targets, will be stopped from being absorbed by Warcraft. Any objections?"

Elaine tells Ray in an uncommonly harsh manner.

That's a sign that I'm worried about Ray, and I understand that, but therefore Ray also snorts silently at such Elaine's words again.

"Oh. I don't absorb unusual species of demon stones. I just want to figure out who created this anomalous species with what in mind... whatever it takes."

"Created? Is there no possibility that it's a product of nature?

"No, it's probably artificial. In the first place, it is unlikely that several magic powers exist in one demonic stone. Or if this is really just this bandet goblin mage, it's possible that there's some kind of anomaly in the dungeon, or some kind of action by chance... but it's kind of hard to believe that so many anomalous species show up at once"

"That's why there's been some anomaly in the dungeon... Can't you even think of it?

When I heard Ray's words, I thought about it for a few seconds. Elaine groaned.

Ray, who heard that, also thinks in the same way, eventually opens his mouth to sum up his thoughts.

"I certainly can't say it's unlikely. But the timing of our entry into the dungeon is too good for the appearance of an anomalous species. Is this a coincidence?

"... then you think this disturbance of the anomalous species was aimed at us?

"It's only a possibility, though. Given the timing, there's nothing you can't do."

We exchange words with each other as we walk one step at a time through the desert.

You're worried about Ray like that, Seto was going through the desert trying to follow the two of us instead of flying in the sky and alerting the surroundings, as usual.

"As far as I'm concerned, I think Ray's thinking too much. Very few knew that we were coming to Egzil in the first place. Yet I wouldn't say that it's impossible to trap anything to go along with it... but it would be quite difficult"

"Really?

As I listened to Elaine, I guess I did think it was impossible in time. Neither does Ray tell us that he was after us any more as he tilted his neck.

(If it wasn't after us, wasn't it the work of the Bestian Empire? Well, it is true that, as Elaine said, it is strict in time. So the disturbance of this abnormal species is the work of a third party that has nothing to do with the Bestian Empire? But who the hell is it? What good would it do to disrupt a labyrinth city that only exists to count, even in the kingdom of Mireana? I thought the Bestian Empire had too much motive...)

Think that far, shake your head small. Because I understood that everything was about to be the work of the Bestian Empire when something was inconvenient within me.

But if it's possible, it's possible enough.

The Bestian Imperial Army was devastated in the spring war, and it is no stranger to aim for Ray's life while depleting the kingdom of Mireana than it was Ray who created its direct cause. If you think about it that way, the muscle path was through.

(Then to make it look like the work of the Bestian Empire by those who want to take it that way? Or did you just happen to be in that shape?... No, can you think about that now but just conspiracy theory? However, it is true that unusual species are unusual monsters in the literal sense. Given that...... wait)

When you get to that point in your mind, a single stream shapes a lot of the information you've gained since you came to Exile behind your head.

Abnormal Species, Absorbed Demon Stone Abnormalities, Levisole Family, Marchelle Family, Demon Stone that is missing on the market.

"Hey, no way..."

"Ray? What's wrong?

I noticed how Ray had changed while walking in the desert thinking about something, and Elaine calls out so.

Behind those two Seto is following him worryingly, even as he is wary of what's going on around him.

"No, I was thinking about the discomfort I got when I absorbed the Demon Stone in Death Size"

"Did you come up with something? Talk to me."

"... I tell you, there is no clear evidence of this. It's really like an idea. I want you to know that."

I was a ray for a moment wondering if I would tell you what I came up with, but I decided I couldn't help but think in myself and open my mouth.

"In the Levisole family we were called in yesterday, you wanted the Demon Stone, didn't you?

"Oh, right. But we said no."

I nod small at Elaine's words, and if I don't even know what I think... but if I had the right idea, I'd say no to the demon stone buying story while continuing to explain.

"The demon stone of the anomalous species, as its name suggests, has some anomaly. So, I thought either the Levisole or Marstelle families had some connection regarding this anomalous species due to the Demon Stone connection... what do you think?

"Isn't that... over-thinking? No, but considering Ray's lost his mind earlier, is there a good chance of that?"

Hearing Ray explain it, Elaine nods that it is possible that she is also frowning under her coat.

"Well, that's only what I came up with on my own regarding this"

"But shouldn't we talk to Bosc later after today's request is over than there's a risk of it? At first, I thought he seemed like a guy with a lot of problems, but when he helped his men, or yesterday, he seemed like he was trying to cure Exile quite nicely."

That's what Elaine tells me, but behind that brain was also past the figure of Schaffner, whom I met the day before.

(Even less would pass as someone who would rule Egzil better than Shafner.... Well, considering the rampage in the dining room, I can't always say I don't have a problem)

Shafner is the man who couldn't even hide his own desires, and couldn't even wear a cat to the end against the obvious person in the position of the Duke's house. Compared to that, he was admired from the bottom as well, and Bosc, who also had the leadership and some secretaries that seemed to turn heads on his men, was more promising no matter what he thought.

(I can't say much because I haven't met the Marchelle family yet, but I can largely predict if I think of the Levisole family buying demon stones without thinking about the people)

Whimpering inside, Ray and Elaine walk in the desert thinking about each other......

"Gru!"

Seto, who was following behind the two, squeaks sharply, marching forward and staring in the direction of progress.

Seeing how it was, I could understand what had happened to both of us, no matter how much I had thought about it.

Ray quickly takes out the death size he kept when exiting the oasis from Mystering, and Elaine also reaches for the hip-jointed sword pattern.

"Well, what kind of monster do you think? As far as I'm concerned, I hope it's around Grand Scorpion."

"I'm Spear Frog, aren't I? I'd like an anomalous species if I could."

"... that's for sure"

We slap each other lightly and still look around without alarm...... at that moment the sand blows up as if at the end of Seto's gaze.

"Shit, more so than this one! Flying slaughter!"

He finds a familiar monster in the sand column and slashes him with a death-size wave.

Watching the flying slaughter, Ray finally understands that he was able to use his skills without any problems with his death size.

Failure to absorb demonic stones and the phenomenon of regurgitation of magic. Or maybe the side effects or something prevented me from using my skills. I was trying to see if my skills would be activated in the oasis for once, but still exhale relief that my skills could be activated without any problems in front of my enemies.

While I was saying something, I guess Ray was still confused by the first phenomenon of magic reflux as well.

Either way, the slaughter unleashed on the back of Ray's mind flies straight, cutting the torso of the sandworm that emerges from the sand without any resistance.

At the same time, blood, organs, and pieces of meat fall to the sand on the ground. The Rays ignore the smell of blood drifting around them without looking concerned about it and scatter it on each one.

Ray on the right, Elaine on the left, Seto over.

We each confirm each other's will with our eyes alone without saying anything and do what we have to do.

As many as five sandworms appeared around Ray as if he had just defeated him.

"I'm sorry, but you're going to be the target of eight strikes!

Pull out the huge fangs, put up the death size big and wiggle for the sandworm thrusting in to make it a drink.

"Power slash!

The skill is activated and a death-size blade hits the mouth of the sandworm who tried to swallow the ray… In the next moment the mouth with fangs is grated and smashed to pieces, including to the head.

The rain of blood and flesh poured down into the sand.

Confirm for a moment only that the torso of the sandworm that has lost its head will collapse and head to the next prey.

In such a position opposite Ray, Elaine shakes her whipped jointed sword wide to amputate the head of the sandworm, and also over the sky, Seto rapidly packs the intermission as she throws up a firebrace and wraps the sandworm in flames, shaking her forefoot down to the burned head until it stays close to the charcoal to crush it.

Unlike Ray, only black charcoal was scattered instead of blood and meat scattered around him because he swung down his forefoot after cooking until it was charcoal.

Its appearance, which should also be described as black snow, was also, in a sense, a fantastic landscape.

However, I cannot visit it longer than I am in the middle of a battle.

Despite being defeated almost instantly, Sandworm continues to attack without understanding the difference in power.

One of the two remaining sandworms storms toward Ray and the other toward Elaine.

Or if each had escaped in a separate direction at this time, the wound might have saved only the life of what it bears. But the option of fleeing did not exist for sandworms who were giants but therefore took for granted to ravage their enemies.

There was a small grin in Ray's mouth as he turned his gaze toward the sandworm as he peeled out his huge fangs and penetrated them.

A cold grin to call a cold smile.

With that grin on your mouth, jump. Activate Slapenil's shoes as they are and jump further up as they scaffold through the air.

Spin the spell as you look at the torso of the sandworm passing directly beneath you as if eating the sand itself.

"O flame, thou art a serpent. So burn down your enemies as I please."

He casts a spell, confirms that the magic of the flames has gathered in the Death Size Stone Penetration before releasing the effect of Slapenil's shoes and falling straight over the back of the sandworm.

"Dancing, dancing, flaming snakes!

The moment the stone poke pierced the back of the sandworm, the magic activated and the flaming serpent was created from the area where the magic of the flame was gathering to burn down the body of the sandworm while traveling… Eventually it arrived to the head, burning down the brain and burning down even its destiny to boast a strong life force without understanding what had happened, and the giant of the sandworm collapsed to the ground.
