Legend

Thunder falling on sunny weather, or meteors. Ray, who severed the neck of a monster who was flying in the sky with such an impression, lands on the sand with the monster's body.

The monster's body fell to the ground as it was guided by gravity, but Ray, who jumped a distance of nearly 5 m, activates Slapenil's shoes again on the verge of landing, placing one cushion in the air to kill the fall speed before descending into the sand.

Strange and Elaine couldn't help but notice the sight of the flutter and dragon robe rising.

From the side, the sight of just jumping into the air and killing a monster.

Of course, acts like jumping close to 5m can't be done with 'just jumping'. But still, it didn't change that she just jumped and defeated the monster with one blow, and Elaine couldn't have been unaware of herself being blinded by the sight of it to say it was.

"Gru?"

Seto rings small as if to make such Elaine return to me, and in fact returns to me with that ringing.

"Ray, are you all right!?

He rushes toward Ray, who stepped down to the side of the monster's body, but raises his hand gently that Ray has no problem toward Elaine like that.

Blood and fluid had blown out of the monster whose head had been severed, and the heat of the desert had already begun to smell strong all around him, but Ray had not looked concerned about it, and he was looking at the corpse of that monster, whose head was still more than 3 m long, even when it had been severed.

Elaine exhales in relief at how Ray is doing, but turns her gaze toward the severed head.

4 corners with a length exceeding 1 m superior. Given the length of that corner, it's a monster with a size well over 4m and close to 5m.

"I never heard of monsters like this."

"Oh. None of the stories I heard from the Preades, and there was no such monster in the information I gathered in advance.... Well, what do you think? A new breed, or..."

Turn your gaze and cut your words to where the bodies of those who tried to change cactus modochi into abnormal species using what is called the seed of chaos were falling.

The body is already housed in the mysteries, but its natural gaze is still pointed.

But Elaine shakes her head sideways in such a small way at Ray's words.

"No, you can assume that this monster has nothing to do with the earlier ones."

"Why? They're creating unusual species, so it's not weird to create a whole new kind of monster, is it?

"It may be possible if they say it is indeed possible or impossible. But whatever cactus they chose to use something called a seed of chaos to turn it into an anomaly, it must have been a coincidence that they were trying to do it here."

Whimpering, he continues his words with his gaze toward the corpse of Ant Hell rolling in front of Ray.

"If cactus modoki had become an anomalous species, from that statement he would probably have anomalized other monsters next. And every time you make a mistake at that time, you bring that corpse this far? Or there's the possibility that you can walk out of the sand, as you did when you fought Ray earlier, but this hierarchy is not the only place where abnormal species exist in the first place. I don't think we have all these monsters in every hierarchy."

"... I see"

Ray not convinced by Elaine's words.

Indeed, Ray has encountered abnormal species in various hierarchies before. Given that, there is no doubt that it creates abnormal species in various strata. And from the sight Ray saw earlier, it is also true that it is quite difficult for ordinary monsters to become abnormal species.

(Well, if you can create abnormal species that are so cheeky, you'll be finding more numbers)

The number of abnormal species found so far is less than 30. Or maybe I was there before the presence of an anomalous species became public, but I wouldn't be able to say that already.

"So this monster really happens to be an unknown monster that lived here?

"Oh. I just don't know if it's unknown. There's no way the Preades know all the monsters in the dungeon, and there's a chance that the nucleus of the dungeon will create a new monster and summon it."

"Is it convenient for where abnormal species are being produced?

Elaine nodded small at the words, opening her mouth as she touched the armor-like crust.

"Or maybe it was because we had this monster that we were experimenting here to produce abnormal species. Because if you throw this monster where he's lurking, he'll kill you on his own."

"... is that indeed likely? It would be troublesome to leave a corpse on the verge of becoming an anomalous species and be found by other adventurers.... but in that case, how do you dispose of failures when you're experimenting with generating abnormal species elsewhere?

"Well, even if you ask me that. What I'm saying is only a possibility. Or maybe there's some other reason, and I can't predict a few things... but that's just the result of the reasoning."

Ray also nods and convinces himself of that word, whispered lightly, without saying anything more.

Rather than bothering my head about not having an answer in the dungeon, it was because I decided that it would be better to go down to the 14th basement and then escape with the magic team and bring it into the Silva family.

"So, anyway, what if we just put it inside the mysteries and move on?"

"Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto rants all the time trying to get there fast.

When both the torso and head are stored in the mistering as if held back by that voice, the death size held in the hand is also stored in the mistering.

"I envy that you still have an item box. You can take out weapons instantly, even with your bare hands."

Elaine shrugs enviously watching Ray like that, but Ray claps her shoulders small before returning the words.

"What magic pouch does Elaine have...... can't she"

"Oh. Unlike the item box, you don't have what you want on hand. You'll need to get your hands inside once."

"But the magic pouch itself is a pretty scarce magic item, isn't it?

"It's rare, but it still doesn't compare to an item box."

We talk to each other, and we try to follow behind Seto and start walking.

As usual, direct sunlight falls after the Rays leave, evaporating things like the blood and body fluids of a zero falling monster on the sand to produce a strong odor, but it is also quickly scattered by desert winds.

Still, a monster comes to the scene smelling the slightest smell of blood drifting in the desert wind, but naturally there's nothing there that fills his own belly. No, in a way, there was bait that fills the belly. Those who smell blood, just like themselves.

As a result, there will be a battle in that place that should be described as an eating between monsters, where other monsters will appear smelling the intense smell of blood shed......

Ultimately it was the monster of a giant snake with three heads that won the competition for its survival, sometimes the adventurer preferred not to approach it near the belt where the cactus modoki was growing, and for a while the pyramid of the food chain culminating in that monster formed in that belt.

Without even knowing that was happening after we left, the Rays went on a line through the desert.

That's just the way most adventurers can't get by, so a monster has hit quite a bit. But those monsters were mostly monsters I had encountered several times, like Sandworm, Bandet Goblin and Sandsnake, and if I tried to make the Demon Stone a ray that craved it, it was just a so-called hazy monster.

"Shit, if Skyfang, Rock Spider, or some monster like Ant Hell showed up earlier anyway, the Demon Stone counts...... no, it doesn't"

While complaining about the monster that comes out, he was still Ray walking in the desert holding the body tightly in mysterious storage, but he smiles when he sees what he saw.

It just looks desert at first glance to be at the end of Ray's gaze with a fierce grin on his hand at the death size removed from the mysteries.

But Seto also stared forward with a sharp gaze as he throated vigilantly next to Ray in evidence that it was not just the desert that was at the end of that gaze.

Elaine also smiles small as she sets up her connecting sword again.

"Surely there are monsters that are dispersed in the rocks like rock spiders. Wouldn't it be strange to have monsters in the sand?"

"That's the thing...... come on!

I guess they understood that the Rays were in a combat position and decided that ambushing them any longer would only disadvantage them. The sand at the end of his gaze... No, the presence that was dispersed in the sand moves.

That number is not one or two, in the amount of 10 or 20.

"A sand ant? Well, there's a monster like Ant Hell, so I guess it's natural to have an ant-type monster."

The body length is about 2m for a large one and about 1.5m for a small one.

Ants the same size as humans, and all the bait they find comes straight to the Rays.

Ray spins a spell with a mocking grin on his mouth when he sees a bunch of sand ants coming at him in a straight line, without any measure.

"O flame, be an arrow that burns everything down, and pour down like rain."

The number of flaming arrows that appeared behind Ray was about 50. Ray activates magic at that moment when all of the arrows of the flame are created, which is about the length of his arm.

"Downpouring Flame Arrows!

The flaming arrows released pour down towards the sand ants as they are heading towards the Rays.

Some sand ants decided that that flaming arrow that was approaching them was dangerous, but most other sand ants continued straight forward and were pierced one by another by the rain of flaming arrows pouring down from the front.

Pierce, burn and instantly charcoal the hard crust of the sand ants from the touched edge.

And all of the flaming arrows poured down, and after the smoke that went up in the impact of the landing had disappeared, only four sand ants were already left.

I was somewhat smarter than the other individuals, luckier, other individuals who were in front of me accidentally shielded me.

It was the four that managed to help for such reasons, but they were still intact, more or less damaged everywhere in the body, plus Elaine with a jointed sword there and one and one who would be attacked if she didn't take her life with her proud nails and strength.

To too much force to call it a pursuit, the life of a sand ant will vanish in an instant.

More than 20 sand ants were made only by showing up and advancing, which was nothing but a duck if you try to be someone with exactly the means of a wide-ranging attack like Ray.

But there's no reason why Ray's methods of attack are faultless.

"... you can't. The crust is almost completely destroyed."

Unexpectedly sighing rays as they store the defeated sand ants intact in the mistering.

Except for demon stones, crustaceans are also the most expensive material to sell.

One of the options that comes up in this Exil when a beginner, Rank D or E adventurer, gets a little more reward is light armor made from sand ant crusts, but naturally holes are not good enough to be used in armor materials.

Due to the crust characteristics of sand ants, it is also not possible to cut some of the crusts and attach them to other crusts, so the holes… especially if there is a hole large enough to be seen in the middle of the crust, the use will be severely limited.

"Cheer up. If we had fought that number properly, it would have taken extra time. If you think about it, you still think it's better to get beat up for cheap?

Exhale one sigh into Elaine's comforting words and then regain her mind.

"Well, anyway, we need to spot the stairs heading down to the 14th basement a little faster now and give the Silva family some information."

Reimagined, Ray continues to advance over the desert, defeating the attacking enemy but taking about hours to finally discover the staircase that leads to the basement. He went straight down to the 14th basement and then returned to the ground in a magic formation.
