Legend

By the oasis, there was currently a very fragrant smell there.

I don't have to think about what that is and where it drifts from.

It's from the Earth Club, which is burned to death from the inside of their bodies at the end of Rays' gaze.

"... you smell so good again"

"Uhm."

"Gru."

It was Ray's words that whined in unintentional fashion, but both Elaine and Seto return the word of consent as to whether there was any disagreement.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Why don't you eat it? and Ray is also lost for a moment to Seto, who tilts his neck and asks.

From previous experience, I understood that the opponent defeated with poison claws, a skill, could eat without particular problems, but the problem is the kind of aroma that stimulates the appetite drifting around him.

But the smell isn't just here, it's spread all around.

In other words, this smell has spread more than enough to monsters in the vicinity besides the Rays...

"Oh, you're late."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Sensing the signs of a large crowd approaching this one, Ray hurries to store the severed ground club legs, scissors, and parts of the torso that are cooked and about ready to eat, determined that there is still some respite while exhaling.

I felt a little heat when I touched the methyl, but the average person doesn't care that much for Ray anyway, so there is no problem.

As Elaine and Seto guard their surroundings, those who have been attracted to the smell emerge from among the trees as soon as they hold everything in the earth club and hold the death size in their hands.

"... what?

But what came out of Ray's mouth when he saw it was an unexpectedly misplaced voice.

Coming to the basement 15th floor, the monsters you defeated are also Earth Club and Bloody Dyle. Bloody Dyle was on the verge of dying, so I couldn't say I fought him.

Either way, they were deciding that monsters that were coming closer than such monsters showed up would also be enemies of considerable strength.

But it was the two-legged walking monster with the dog's face who showed up from among the trees.

He has weapons such as swords, spears, hammers and axes in his hands that he thought he had taken from adventurers or created using monster materials, and equipped his body with protective equipment that he thought he had made using monster materials and trees growing around the oasis.

But still, there was a lot of discomfort in the lay that saw that monster in such a hierarchy.

Yes, the name of that monster...

"Cobolt, you say?

As far as Ray knows, he would be a famous monster alongside goblins and oaks.

Ray, who came to this Elgin, also fought goblins and oaks but never encountered Cobolt.

I guess I could have said I was lucky in that sense, but there were still a lot of questions I encountered in this hierarchy.

(By and large, can Cobolt survive in this hierarchy? Whatever the normal place is, this desert hierarchy is relentless among monsters, isn't it? And yet a Rank E cobolt... no, not a regular cobolt, huh?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Similar to Ceto... Still unlike Ceto, Cobolt shows up in front of the Rays and gathers together with a ringing noise that doesn't make them feel heavy.

That number, roughly 30.

A few minutes to face each other at a distance of about 5m. Whether he was in a hurry, or couldn't stand the tension anymore, he waves loudly the spear that the leading cobolt had.

The act of making a lot of noise was intimidating to the Rays, no matter how they saw it.

But I'd say that was a big mistake. In the first place, if you're a beginner who just became an adventurer, because no one here had the delicate nerves to that extent to fear.

"Well, what do you think? I can appreciate you not launching an attack all of a sudden."

"Cobolt is a good collaborator. I have seen before that the aristocrats insulted Kobolt and suffered pain. Never be alarmed."

Even if it's intimidating, it's still not as hostile. It was such Elaine's words that I came back to Ray asking him how he should respond to such an opponent.

Unlike Ray, he has already decided the battle is inevitable, probably because he still fought Kobolt before.

Cobolt also inherits its its characteristics so that its head is a dog. In other words, it strikes enemies in groups, as dogs do when hunting. It's like a wild dog or a wolf.

"Grrrrrrrr"

I don't know about Kobolt, Seto, but I felt multiple signs that we were approaching by trying to go around where we were.

Sound alert to Ray and Elaine, and with that voice Ray and Elaine also turn around and notice signs that they are trying to surround themselves.

"I see you survived this hierarchy with readiness"

"So, I guess. But... it's still immature to deal with us!

Elaine shouts or denies or waves a concatenated sword, slashing and dumping an arrow flying in a straight line from behind under one sword.

Then I guess that was the signal. Cobolt, who was watching how things were going, attacked the Rays simultaneously.

Cobolt, who has been leading the way, sticks out his spear while he gains the momentum. The target of that spear was Seto, who would have recognized Kobolt's instinct as the most powerful enemy.

Ray and Elaine both boast no less combat power than Ceto if they were meant to, but it's still the reason they caught it on the outside.

Given the difference in strength, the difference would be overwhelming. However, it was a blow prepared to throw away stones if you still had the feeling that it was for your fellow citizens.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Instead of striking down the protruding spear, sink and dodge yourself, and use the Demonic Eye of Impact as it is by jumping forward with the momentum as it is.

moment. The shock ran on Kobolt's face, his skin ripped, his flesh bounced, blood smoke and scattered all around him.

"Gaung!"

To that blow, a cobolt that collapses to the ground screaming and rolls around.

In this case, the bad luck was probably due to the low level of the demonic eye of Seto's emitted impact, but the power was weak.

If it had been a little more powerful, Kobolt would have been desperate in one blow. But it was less powerful, but therefore Kobolt could not die, and he was to roll around the ground screaming in severe pain.

"Gaaaaaaaa!"

To keep Kobolt's life alive, Seto's couch is opened and firebraces are released.

The widely released breath of flames wraps the cobolts rolling around on the ground with flames, stretching the flaming tongue also to the other cobolts around which Ceto's head was shaken as it was.

"Wind Arrow!

A short distance from such a ceto, Elaine's innumerable arrows of invisible winds pour down like rain looking for Cobolt.

"O flame, my blow, which thou shalt wave with a burning hand, is like a sword. Follow that trajectory, and you will show your strength."

With Ray's spell, a flame stretches from a death-sized stone poke. The appearance was accompanied by the shape of a sword as it was in the spell.

"Kill the Flaming Sword!

Flaming sword wielded at the same time as magical activation.

But that blow doesn't burn the cobolts, or chop them apart, it just burns the air.

"Gaw?"

I don't know what Ray's unleashed blow means, and one of the cobolts leaks a suspicious sounding whilst leaning his neck as he watches it.

But what that blow meant at the next moment appeared as a result.

A red line is drawn on the ground so that Ray follows the trajectory in which he waved the flaming sword, and a flame blows up from the foot of the cobolt treading on it, and the cobolt that was at the head of the flock is put together and wrapped in flames.

A flame that burns from underfoot burns straight into conditions like ankle, knee, thigh, hips, belly, chest, and eventually carburizes half of his body into the ground screaming in severe pain.

Such a sight struck all the cobolts that were on the red line drawn by the flaming sword.

Other cobolts watching their peers burn from under their feet stop moving without understanding what happened to their peers.

... Yes, exactly what Ray expected, trying to create a condition that should also be called a barrier by Kobolt's burnt corpse.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

There is no hesitation whatsoever in Ray's words and the firebrace is released again. And right behind you.

Until just a little while ago, Ceto used firebraces near Ray, but as Ray uses his magic, he kicks a nearby tree in a triangle flight and lands directly behind a bunch of cobolts, taking it to the shape of a pinch.

The flaming breath emanating from Seto's mouth strikes the Kobolts as they burn.

Even if you hate it and try to escape, what lies ahead is an absolute line of defense created by magic that burns itself out if you step on it.

Cobolt, who was at the edge of the herd, managed to escape, but it was also only a small part of what was on the right side of the herd.

The reason Cobolt, who was on the left side of the herd, could not escape was because Elaine existed there.

The blade of the jointed sword waved by Elaine to the point of being called the Princess General, if it is whipped, slashes and rips many cobolts in one swing, and if it is a single sword, it cuts the cobolts vertically or in two straight on the side with a sharp blow.

Alternatively, if anyone also had some means of attack in the right part of the herd at this point, Kobolt might also have fought back against the Rays with one or eight bites as if they were cramped cats.

But I don't imitate anything more than where I can escape, and I run away to protect my own life.

Ultimately, they also succeed in defeating about 90% of the Kobolt combined with what they have attacked from behind.

"... Phew, are you done yet?"

Ray squeaks as he stores the death size inside the mistering and looks around the area overflowing with Kobolt bodies.

The bodies that are falling there are the burned and the slashed and torn to death.

Watching such a corpse, Ray is housed in Mystering as he decides it was still good in Kobolt that he attacked him.

(Even the same dog monster would have struggled a little harder if it was Warwolf's kind)

Whimpering so inside.

It should be noted that beastmen are those to whom beast elements are added to man, whereas Warwolf takes the form of an intermediate between beast and man.

"We've also housed Kobolt's body, and we'll leave here before the guys caught by this smell come again."

"Gru."

Seto echoes in agreement and throat at Ray's words, and Elaine nods again.

"Right. Especially here on the water field alone, where monsters are less likely to show up to drink water. If it's a battle again and other monsters repeat themselves for it... there's no doubt you'll be physically and mentally fatigued."

"... how did this happen when I was actually just looking for the fruit I had just eaten"

Ray whining with a bitter smile, but inadvertently raising his gaze is the same kind of tree he ate earlier that was growing ahead of him... it also has two fruits in sight that are as big as a turn, stopping him from moving unintentionally.

"Ray? What's up?

Return to me and open your mouth to Elaine's voice, who calls out suspiciously to Ray, who unintentionally stopped moving.

"Elaine, Seto.... That."

Looking in the direction Ray pointed out, a surprise look also comes to Elaine and Seto.

Because even for one person and one, the fruit there was unexpected.

In a sense, there were also two fruits of the greatest reason why we were to wage a fierce war so far.

"Ha, ha. Ha ha ha."

To that appearance, Ray accidentally leaks a grin.

"Phew, what's so funny?

That's what Elaine tells Ray to smile at, but there's still a similar grin spread in that mouth to Ray.

"Even Elaine's laughing. Damn, there's nothing funny about this..."

"Grrrrrrrr"

It's not like something particularly interesting happened. But still, laughter leaks out of each other's mouths.

The grin that was finally trying to fit and hang on to Seto's chirping urging them to pick fruit quickly against those two finally leaked again.

"Gru?"

What's the matter with you? and even as I stroke Seto leaning down my little neck, the urge to laugh still doesn't fit in so easily. Then after about 5 minutes to finally settle down, Ray across Seto succeeds in flying through the sky to get the fruit safely.

However, I didn't feel comfortable eating the fruit in this place because it was delicious, so I stored it in Mystering for now, and proceeded ahead as Ray and Elaine exclaimed their throats about wanting to eat it.
