Ray's hand was stretched out by Skyfang's Demon Stone.
Hold its demon stone in your right hand, and the remaining demon stone of Ant Hell will be handed to Elaine.
"I'm sorry, but you have to have this"
"Oh, I don't mind. I'm sure you'll be in the way of swinging the Death Size with this demon stone."
Elaine smiles with the demon stone of Ant Hell in her hand, knowing everything.
He nods small at such Elaine, picking up the Death Size from the ground as it is and moving it a little further away.
"Now, given that Skyfang was such a powerful monster, there's a good chance he can master his skills... I don't know, ever!
Throw the demon stone into the air with that word and flash the Death Size blade sharply.
The demon stone cut in the air disappears like a sumptuous next moment...
[Death Size mastered the skills of 'Wind Hand Lv.3']
The same announcement message flows to the back of the brain as the other day when Seto enhanced his optical camouflage skills.
"... what's up? From what I can tell, I've learned new skills."
Elaine asks toward Ray with a delightful, sad, subtle look on her face.
Ray, who was so voiced, clasped his shoulders small and opened his teat.
"I did strengthen my skills..."
Whimpering, being able to turn your gaze is the death size in your hand.
"No, well... do you want to try it? Wind hands!
Squeeze, activate your skills.
A colorless transparent tentacle extending from the part of a death-sized stone-piercing. It doesn't even resemble Seto's optical camouflage in a way, but its effects are very different.
... for those of you who can't.
Wind-based interference is possible only at the tip of the tentacle, but does not possess opposing power per se. No matter how hard I try, I'll only be able to give you about the shock when I hit you lightly.
It is still time to use this skill with other skills like a fire whirlwind.
"... but you've got a lot more distance to reach your tentacles"
It was about 150m at level 2, but I can actually use the wind hand to feel the increase to about 200m at level 3.
(100 m at level 1, 150 m at level 2, 200 m at level 3?... then I guess it's okay to recognize that every level goes up by 50 m)
If you can use it or not, it's definitely a skill you can use.
Because it's the same thing that increased the range of fire whirlwinds, which is currently the most powerful way to attack Ray.
"Grrrrrrrr"
Does Seto know that, too, and he rings his throat to congratulate him.
"Oh, thanks.... I would have liked more powerful skills if I could."
Ray turned his gaze in whining, not Elaine...... but the last demon stone Elaine had.
Only Ant Hell, which is probably a pretty powerful monster in the desert hierarchy, almost certainly had a feeling in Ray that he would be able to master his skills as close as half certain.
But if you ask me which one uses that demonic stone, I have to lean my neck. Make it Ray, make it Ceto, because we both got skills.
Most importantly, the fortified Ray wind hand could only be relied upon to be used alone.
Or because I understood it, Seto rubbed his head against Ray and indicated with an attitude that he would absorb the demonic stone at the death size because he was good.
"Ray, Seto said the same thing... no, he's showing me with his attitude. Wouldn't it be nice if you absorbed this demon stone?
"But..."
Mumbling that far, Ray again turns his gaze toward Seto, who is rubbing his head against himself.
"Grrrrrrrrrr"
After a brief squealing Seto's gaze, he eventually nods.
"Right. If Seto's going to say that much, I'm going to let the words... no, I'm going to let the squeal sweeten you."
"Guru!"
I put my hand on Seto's head, who just throats, saying well, and I turn my gaze toward Elaine as I stroke her with gratitude.
"Elaine, get the demon stone over here"
"Oh.... I hope I can master my skills"
I receive a demonic stone handing me with a slight grin, and I nod small and distance myself from one person and one.
(Well, it's time to learn the skills you can use... please)
He groaned inside, throwing the demon stone of Ant Hell straight into the air, flashing in Death Size.
In the next moment, the Demon Stone disappears like Kasumi...
[Death Size mastered the skills of 'Corrosion Lv.3']
Yes, there was an announcement going on in the back of my brain.
"... this is..."
I don't know why I acquired that skill, but accidentally turn my gaze to the corpse of Ant Hell rolling a little further away.
"Grrrrrrrr?"
Seto, why corrode again? He was leaning his neck while seeping into confusion like that.
You questioned one of those and one, Elaine leaning her neck and opening her mouth.
"Ray, what's going on? Seeing how it goes, it doesn't seem like I couldn't master my skills..."
"Oh. Definitely mastered the skills. I just have that acquired skill."
"Was it some unexpected skill?
"Corrosion,. Corrosion enhanced, not new"
To Ray's words, Elaine tilting her neck.
"Corrosion? Weren't you able to remember the skills related to monsters who did have absorbed demon stones?
"Oh. Optical camouflage from a rock spider in this example... no, this is also slightly different with pseudomorphism and transparency to be exact, but still it's normal to acquire similar phylogenetic skills... wait?
While explaining, Ray, who was looking at the corpse of Ant Hell without a head at the end of his gaze, stares at the corpse as if he noticed something.
Keep removing the knife for dismantling from the mystering and approaching the body, removing it from the crust area.
Elaine starts helping it rather than watching it in silence, even as she leans her neck toward the stripping of material that suddenly began.
And after about 10 minutes, we succeed in removing all the crusts of Ant Hell that are more gigantic than ourselves, cutting and tearing the torso apart as it is.
"... this?
Cut and remove the perimeter with a knife so as not to damage an unrecognized organ that was in the gut.
When shaking an internal organ about 50 cm, it makes a chapchaping noise as if there was some liquid in it.
"It's dangerous. Stay back."
"Oh."
"Gru."
Exactly this far, you would have understood what Ray was trying to do and why his corrosion skills had been strengthened. Elaine, who tightened her expression with slight tension, and Seto, who was right beside her, distance herself, as she was told.
Where that distance had sufficed, Ray threw a recoil on his hand and threw his visceral organs at a place that was at a rock's end.
I guess you decided it was dangerous in case there was one when you threw it. The thrown visceral organs fly at a rate that can be seen...... eventually hitting the rock and the next moment its impact tears the visceral organs and scatters red and black liquid all around them.
Smoke that rises at the same time.
The moment he sees the red and black smoke, which seems harmful to see, Ray makes a huge leap backwards to land next to Elaine and Seto.
Stay put for a few seconds. Eventually all that remained after the red and black smoke that was emanating from the place where the visceral organs hit disappeared was a rock that was in distorted form as if it had hung hot water on ice.
"I knew it. When you fought us, you didn't have time to use it because of the short combat time, but I guess that ant hell was supposed to use acid as a weapon too. I don't know if it spits out like a brace, or flushes through the corners of my head, or bites again and pours it directly out of my fangs."
"... given that, I guess I should say I'm glad I beat you in the short showdown"
To Ray's words, Elaine exhales unexpectedly in relief.
Of course, make it Ray, make it Elaine, or Ceto, I'm not going to get hit that easy. But still, I always assume that in case, and I don't want to waste scratches with corrosive liquid on the weapons and protective equipment I have.
Most importantly, in Ray's case, all of it is a magic item that is nowadays nearly impossible to create, and not like it would be scratched by a half-breed attack.
"Whatever it is, desert monsters won't be very helpful to their opponents, but they can definitely fight quite advantageously when fighting enemies equipped with metal weapons and armor"
Enemy, it wasn't just the human-shaped monster that came up behind Elaine's brain when she heard the word… it was also the figure of a person.
Certainly when it comes to opponents with metal weapons, it was natural because there are more humans than monsters.
"... anyway, honestly it's subtle if you ask me if I can be satisfied, but I could still enhance my skills by two, so I guess it's good."
"Gru!"
To Ray's words, Seto is right! and throat, Elaine also snorts away at the thought of passing her back of her brain for another moment.
"Right. So, what do we do now? I think we should take care of that first."
At the end of the squeaky Elaine's gaze are two sand ants and Skyfang, the corpse of Ant Hell.
Except for the corpse of Ant Hell, only the demon stone had been removed, and the stripping of the material had yet to be carried out.
Looking at the four bodies, a little thought Ray turns his gaze to the corpse of Ant Hell.
The crustaceans have already been removed, and the belly has been opened and gutted out, because it was decided that the fastest way to strip the material would be to finish.
"Let's start by cleaning up from this guy"
"Fine, but you don't know what else you can peel off the crust anyway, okay?
"I'm going to take all the places I can sell. It doesn't mean you can't bring it back if you store it in a mysterious ring."
Elaine also begins stripping Ant Hell with Ray again, just because she still can't help it, with a somewhat frightened look on Ray's words.
Seto is on the lookout for his surroundings to protect those two, and even if some monster strikes, he just says he's going to knock them down the other way.
"I hope your head stays the same... what else is going to sell, your legs?
"Surely you would have had a book to strip away the material of the monster, wouldn't you? It's not on that?
"I don't think it was listed... just give me a minute"
Elaine tells me to take the monster book out of Mystering and look it up, but there's still no Ant Hell item there.
"... you don't. Could it be this dungeon-specific monster?
"If we were to be in this hierarchy, we would normally be in the desert. Then it still means this monster will only store the part that's going to sell like this, okay?
"No, I'll store it all for once. I'll do a little digging at the guild."
Store all substitutes such as whining, stripped crusts, heads, or guts in mystering.
"Well, then it's these two that stay, which way do we start?
Elaine's gaze is directed at two sand ants with a protective colour that is dispersed in the sand, on the appearance of a skyfang such as a snake with six bat-like wings.
Ray chooses sand ants without hesitation, asking which one to start stripping.
The reason I chose this one is simple, sometimes I'm used to it because I've stripped material from Soldier Ants and Queen Ants before, and most importantly, it was on Ray's monster drawings I have.
(Even so, Soldier Ants and Sand Ants. I wonder what the difference is in this way of calling it. Probably the hobby of the guy with the name)
While thinking that way on the inside, peel off the crust and divide the usable material from the crusade proof area.
Of course not only two sand ants were in the mysteries, but many of the bodies that we defeated when we fought have gone into the mysteries.
When the material stripping from the two corpses in front of you is done with Elaine, those corpses are also removed and the crust is removed.
With regard to the stripping of the material, nature and Ray settled into the role of removing the crust and Elaine taking charge of anything else.
Most importantly, the number of sand ants whose crusts were safe was small in itself, and Ray soon turned to cleave his torso like Elaine.
Keep working for about an hour.
Sometimes the size of the sand ants themselves was smaller than that of skyfangs and ants hell, and the stripping of the material was done at considerable speeds.
Moreover, there were not so many corpses of sand ants per se - many were burned by the magic of Ray in all the crustaceans - so they succeeded in stripping the material from all the sand ants without taking so much time.
Again, it ended early, probably because the portion of the crust that took the most time to strip the material was the small number of sand ants that were safe.
Then we went on to dismantle Skyfang, the feathered snake... and it took us about an hour to end the stripping.
