Legend

"... a little too much?

"Gru?"

The carcasses of sandworms scattered all around me squeak more unintentionally at the many parts than say......

Especially terrible is the head of the shattered sandworm with the first power slash Ray released. It was scattered around the area with flesh pieces ranging from a few centimeters to a few dozen centimeters.

Fortunately, the smell of blood is being swept away by the wind because it is a vast place called the desert, but there is still a smell of blood around it so much that you can smell it.

It's more intense than a normal human being can sniff apart without having to be a ray with five senses.

"... that's definitely a little too much"

That's what Elaine told me as she shook away the blood and fluids of the sandworm on the body of the concatenated sword.

Unlike Ray and Seto, who crushed the head of the sandworm, Elaine shows a sword clasp that only cuts the head clean by means of a jointed sword.

If they show you that, Ray can't even ask for something.

"Early on in the day, we retrieve Sandworm's body and get Spear Frog...... hmm?

"Grrrrrrrr?"

"What?"

Elaine cuts the words along the way, and at the same time Seto and Ray find themselves strange again.

No, given the bandet goblin mage thing, you can't even call it weird. Because something is simply getting closer to who we are.

"Is this... are you here!?

It doesn't travel through the ground like a sandworm, or through the sky like a flyable monster.

While kicking the desert ground, I sensed a jumping presence rather than flying.

Despite the still considerable distance, the only reason I could still sense it was because the person approaching me was huge.

Moreover, several signs are approaching, as if to follow the presence that is coming towards us.

Its immense presence is one with a sandy body color. If that were all it would not have been strange to mistakenly see it as a protective color against the desert. But if the size is big enough to tell, you can't go wrong.

Using the strength of a strong hind leg, jump over a distance of nearly 10 m in one kick. Still, it was obvious when we saw him jumping in a row that he wasn't doing all he could.

"Abnormal Species of Spear Frog...... I guess"

"Oh, probably"

Ray nods again to Elaine, who asks to confirm.

Next to such a ray, Seto is already sinking small enough to deal with the Spear Frog coming at us at all times.

I had never seen a monster named Spear Frog in person, Ray or Elaine, but I couldn't possibly go wrong with a giant frog-shaped monster about 3m long.

But that wasn't the problem. I can even say I'm glad the target showed up from me in front of me.

The reason why two people in that state had a look like they were in love was in the presence of chasing Spear Frog.

"But... I'm following you from behind..."

"... oh. Definitely the Vihelas."

Elaine returns words to Ray's words in a terminal way.

Yes, behind Spear Frog, who was coming in a straight line to us, were Vihella and Bühne.

There would have been Porter if it had been, but he was probably left at two speeds. We're going after Spear Frog, who's so fast he's walking through the desert.

"Well, whatever... oddly enough, it's going to mean fighting Spear Frog jointly, as Vihella said"

"... why run into us here when Vihella said she moved in a completely different direction from us in the first place?

While we speak to each other, we wait for Spear Frog, who sets up a death-size and jointed sword to come towards us.

If I can do it, I want to take it down with the first blow.

"I'm glad we found the target, but you got away and you followed him, didn't you?

"Then why is the target in a straight line towards us... oh, I see"

Look at the sandworm bodies spreading around you and nod as you were convinced.

Yes, a piece of meat from the sandwich that smells like intense blood.

With such Elaine's attitude, I guess Ray soon realized what was causing it. Make your cheeks squirm, but still gaze behind your back like you said it was your last hope.

An oasis that is considerably smaller but still in a visible position.

If it's a frog-shaped monster, I was wondering if it's headed for the oasis in search of water.

"... then you bet?

"No, I'll stop"

While I turned my gaze to the oasis, I guess I understood that it was still caused by the smell of sandworm blood and meat. Turn your gaze toward Spear Frog, whose distance has already narrowed to about 100 m with a small shoulder clasp... I notice its presence.

The Vihelas that follow the Spear Frog that is coming towards us… not the countless little flocks that are just halfway between Spear Frog and the Vihelas.

Regardless of the size, the apparent difference is little different from the spear frog of the abnormal species that is pushing the lead.

(I mean, that's why they're normal spear frogs)

Then.

Ray thought about using magic for a moment to preempt an attack to tail an anomalous species, but his distance from Spear Frog is already shrinking rapidly, cutting 20 meters.

Normally, I can still determine that I have enough distance, but somehow I'm the one who jumps 10m in a single leap. I didn't have time to cast a spell.

But Ray still has a means of ranged attack. Death Size Flying Slash Only, Or...

Place the Death Size in your hand on the desert and remove the spear from the mistering.

It is a cheap spear, half missing from the tip, completely useless as a normal weapon. But for Ray it was possible to reuse it as a powerful weapon of disposability.

(That said, you only have about 50 bottles left. Do you want to go around weapons stores and blacksmiths later and refill them)

Put up a spear with the throwing instructions and think like that while twisting your torso.

And just in case, I turned my gaze to Elaine, and then to the two familiars who were following Spear Frog.

I guess that's all you understood about what Ray was demanding. Draw attention aloud.

"Beune, Vihera, be careful not to get entangled, because Ray will attack from now on!

I guess I heard that voice. Vihera and Buune, who were running after the giant Spear Frog and the regular Spear Frog, stopped moving as they raised the sand smoke.

Having confirmed that, Ray finally figured out that Spear Frog would reach the corpse of the sandworm that existed in the vicinity after a single leap after the distance had shrunk to about 10 meters...

"Ha-ha-ha!

Throw the spear you had, along with the voice of temper.

There is no way Spear Frog, who existed in the air by leaping through the desert, could have avoided it and was skewered.

Ray was half sure it would happen, even if it wasn't, and so was Elaine, who had a connecting sword just for once next door.

And in fact, the spear thrown by Ray's outwardly stained force hits Spear Frog, who was certainly in the air. But...

"What!?

Elaine leaks surprise voices most of the time.

Yes, the spear released as if it penetrated the air itself, it did hit. However, the next moment you hit the right flank of Spear Frog, you slip through the surface of your body and fly towards the spearless as if it were a lie.

I had no idea from afar that Spear Frog was making repeated leaps, but if we got this close, we could see just how oily the body fluids were secreted on its surface and glowing with tecateca. The oil slipped the tip of the spear that flew through the air, flying it in the wrong direction.

Still, the fortunate thing about being unhappy would have been that the spear tip was rusty and half missing. Though thin, cuts were made to Spear Frog's flank.

If this were a regular spear, it would not have been drained by Spear Frog's fluid and scratched one because of the clean blade.

"Ray!"

Holding Ray's hand, who threw the spear with all his might but was in the late stiff state, he moves forcefully.

Seto is also following the Death Size he kept on the ground, and a few seconds after Ray disappears from the spot… Spear Frog, who has a length of 3 m, lands in the position where Ray was just there.

Even Spear Frog couldn't forgive me for breaking through his prized body fluids and hurting his body, or he turns his face from the landing place to Seto, where he moved without eating straight to the sandworm corpse of his purpose, and turns to eyes that don't know what he's thinking specific to the frog.

At the same time…

"They're coming!

"Oh!"

Elaine answered Ray's voice briefly and two and one jumped backwards from where she was standing.

The next moment Spear Frog's mouth opens, from which the tongue released at a rate not so different from Ray's unleashed spear decides the desert sand.

with two sharp tongue tips divided into two parts from the root, as if to prove to themselves that it is also an abnormal species.

"Guerruo!"

Spear Frog, whose attack has been dodged, puts his tongue back into his mouth as he raises his frog's squeal cloudy.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

He throws the Death Size that Seto was wearing at Ray and leaps forward.

Like I say, I'll deal with them.

"Ray! You can't just leave him alone!

Elaine turns her gaze in the direction Spear Frog flew as she spoke to Ray.

From there, the normal size of Spear Frog has shrunk the distance, which has already shrunk to about 10 meters.

For a moment, Ray was unsure which opponent to deal with, but the stray exhales relief as he sees Vihella waving endlessly through the nails growing from his armor from the rear of a flock of Spear Frogs, slashing and tearing Spear Frogs apart.

Beaune has also knocked down a knife from behind to Spear Frog's back.

"As far as a large number of others are concerned, I'll leave it to Elaine. Vihera's here from behind, too... come on!

Let me tell you to the end, Spear Frog sticks his tongue out again. Pulling the right side of the body forcefully backwards, the tongue released through Ray's body as he slashed and tore the air, avoiding it by becoming half-body.

A sickle blade that swings at the same time.

But I guess I can move my tongue itself freely. Hit and bounce the tip part of the tongue, which is 2 and divided from the root, avoiding the slashing orbit.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

As if to poke that gap, the ceto that was flying up at some point strikes from the sky, but in the present situation, where Vihela and Bühne are present, we cannot use the kind of skill. So I tried to slap a blow in the forefoot with my weight on it into my head...

"Gru!?

Rare...... yes, very rare and bewildered ringing.

Because a blow that would have smashed his head if it had been, was struck with a null sensation the moment it touched Spear Frog.

The blow that is recirculated pierces the ground as it is, creating a grand sand column.

"That fluid again!

One tongue-in-cheek at the sight captured in the corner of his sight while spinning on the spot without killing the death-size momentum that took the blow off. But when I see the sand coming down in the air launched as a sand column, I wave Death Size again with a grin.

"Flying slaughter!

Its slaughter, unleashed without killing the momentum of rotation, flies straight towards Spear Frog...

"Gegelovo!?

Cut off its right foreleg and without killing the momentum as it is, it flies through and towards the sky as Ray spreads more of the wound he put on earlier with a spear throw.

"You're overconfident of your defense!

Why was Spear Frog so lightly amputated after even passing a spear or a blow from Seto? That is partly because Ray's unleashed flying slash was higher in level and more powerful than before, but at the same time it was partly because the sand that rose above him due to Seto's blow fell on the body surface where Spear Frog's fluid was seeping.

Of course, only Spear Frog lives in the desert, and the sand is somewhat sticky, which doesn't affect his defenses as much. But that's not all that matters, and it's not completely unaffected. That slight difference was outweighed by the flying slash, which resulted in the loss of the right front and rear legs.

That's how Spear Frog, who can no longer stand in the desert, collapsed to the ground, flashing and cutting the two tongues he released all with his last will. Shaking down a death-sized blade that wrapped its magic around it as it were, Spear Frog will be extinguished from the flames of its life.
