Legend

Continue walking from the side of the oasis where the fruit was picked, about 30 minutes.

If we had gotten this far, we would have been able to proceed safely without encountering any monsters that would have just swarmed for traces of earlier battles.

"It's just, well, this is the situation, so you're gonna run into enemies no matter what."

Rather than Ray calling it an oasis, he groans as he turns his gaze toward beings who seem right to describe it as a giant lake.

Being this huge oasis naturally means that many monsters are turning it into a water field.

(Most importantly, if almost everything in this hierarchy is an oasis, are you unlikely to encounter Ningro enemies?

I guess I didn't even perceive Ray's inner thoughts like that, but Seto, who was walking next to Ray, accidentally looks to the side.

One rabbit shook the tree growing near the oasis and showed up.

However, it could not have been more than a rabbit in this hierarchy, and there was a single horn stretched from the forehead like a unicorn.

What is different from the corner of the unicorn is that it is helical?

Speaking of the only salvation, was the size of the rabbit somewhat larger than what Ray knew?

Compared to Gamelion, who is also a rabbit-shaped monster that Ray fought before, you could describe it as extremely popular.

Most importantly, Ray himself didn't want to count Gamelion as a rabbit.

"This would be easy...... whoa! You're just a monster in this hierarchy."

Easy to defeat. That was Ray's decision, but when he sees the rabbit stick in as he kicks the ground and rotates his body at the next moment, he reflexively takes evasive action.

That blow, which had a spiraled corner and rotated the body, was precisely a drill-like attack, with high penetration.

Yes, to the extent that it plunges into the tree that was behind Ray and scrapes and folds with its rotation.

Ray whines swallowingly, even as he sees how it goes.

I understand, of course, that the other person is a monster to be wary of, but I'm still sure it's safe because Seto popped up.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

The assault of a beating by the forefoot, wielded with a roar, breaks the bone in the rabbit's neck with a single blow and blows it straight to the side.

Naturally, there was no way the rabbit was alive, and the flame of his life was easily extinguished.

"The rabbit now...... did you say spiral rabbit or something?

"Uh, give me a minute. I'm sure it was in the book."

I take the book with the monster info from Mystering in Elaine's words and turn the page.

Eventually, when you discover the desired page in about a minute, you begin to read its description.

Spiral Rabbit. Monster Rank E. Carnivorous rabbit with spiraled horns. I prefer the attack of piercing horns at enemies with high bouncing power, which is also characteristic of the creature Rabbit.

It is important to note that when attacking, the rabbit himself rotates his body, which increases the power of a single blow.

A blow with horns is easy to pierce if it's about cheap leather armor.

The crusade proof site is its characteristic corner, which is also material.

Can also be used as material and protective equipment for weapons, including spears.

Other furs are preferred by adventurers because they are in demand as ornaments and clothing, and meat is highly rewarded as a rank e monster for its taste full of flavor.

"..."

"Is it still a corner?... but if you're going to use it for a spear-like weapon, how do you use it?

To Elaine's words as she tilts her neck and asks, Ray turns her gaze toward her own body wrapped in a dragon robe and opens her mouth.

"I think you're probably going to put a corner tip on the surface of the armor. That way, even if the enemy comes in, when you take it in that part, the enemy will come through you."

"But I think that's the only tip part of the corner that can be used... well, fine. Let's try to rush ahead of that. Exactly. You wouldn't strip the material on this spot, would you?

It was a while ago, it reminds me of four straight fights against Earth Club, Bloody Dyle, Earth Club and Kobolt.

That said, Bloody Dyle had been hurt by the Earth Club for half his life in the oasis, rather than nine for the rest of his life, and the fight against the Earth Club in WW2 had almost used up his magic in the fight against Bloody Dyle in the water.

Still, if it is a series of battles, it cannot be said that the battle itself is unlikely to be a call for more or more powerful enemies.

It may not be good in the sense of earning demon stones, which is also one of the aims of the Rays challenging the dungeons, but it was only negative in the sense of descending into a deep hierarchy where magic items for communications, which is also another purpose, would be asleep.

So Ray snorts lightly at Elaine's words.

"Right. If you're on the map, what's your status up to the next staircase?

"If you keep going with nothing like this for about 4 hours..."

It was Elaine's word to tell as she checked the map, but Ray shook his head at it.

"I'm pretty sure the number of monsters is more than the desert hierarchy up there than this is an oasis. It's pretty hard to leave nothing behind."

"Surely the rate of encounters with monsters was not that high in the upper hierarchy.... as cactus modoki anyway"

There was a bitter smile on Elaine's face when she remembered pushing through a growing area of cactus modoki in a way that even could be described as ravaging.

"In the case of cactus modochi, it came from us. You don't have to put me in the monster that attacks me from the other side. Shall we proceed by deciding that we are more likely to be attacked by a monster than we are to be an oasis, whatever it may be? Seto, I asked for perimeter alert."

"Gru."

I'll take care of it, and Seto rattles his throat.

However, because of the growing trees around the oasis, we could not do much of the method that we used in the desert of flying in the sky and guarding our surroundings from above, and if we were to be vigilant, we had to rely on those five senses.

Most importantly, the five senses of Seto, a griffon, are very sharp. That's more than a bunch of bandits with no hands or feet.

"All right, then let's go."

To Ray, who touches Spiral Rabbit and tells him as he stores it in the mistering, Elaine and Seto each respond to the understanding and walk out again.

If you keep going on the water field for about 20 minutes, you will eventually inadvertently see the people who recognize you somewhere.

"That's..."

You're from the Silva family.

Elaine responding to Ray's whining.

Yes, the only party at the end of my gaze is about five guys. Those at the head of it were the ones Ray helped just when he fought the Queen Bee of Sword Bee.

They must have noticed the shadow coming towards them. Be vigilant for a moment, but when you signal everyone that the man who is also the leader of that party is okay, that vigilance can be quickly lifted as well.

"Long time no see"

Ray nods small and opens his mouth to the first leader-like man to bow his head.

"Oh, you seem to have had a lot of trouble over there."

"Right. It was really tough in a lot of ways."

I guess that look of whining in sigh reminds me of what happened here a while back.

I was a ray for a moment wondering what words I would continue to say to such an opponent, but I would go on saying that I couldn't help but care in particular.

"So, what are you guys doing in this hierarchy?

"Uh... Um, hey..."

A man who says to Ray's inquiry.

Having seen it, Ray and Elaine decide that they probably can't tell others - not exactly to the Silva family.

"I'm not trying to make it sound impossible, so if you can't tell me, it's fine."

"... No, we've been helped more than once by the Rays, and my brother will tell you that he doesn't mind talking to the Rays. Besides, I don't know why, but their associates and Ray often run into each other."

That's it, understand what it's about.

(I thought I was diving in the dungeon as an adventurer... I see, abnormal species thing)

That's what Ray groaned inside, and I guess that was the same with Elaine. We nod with a small gaze at each other.

As for Ray, I'm not going to go into anything else about the anomalous species or the Levisole family.

I have trouble being able to absorb demon stones as a warcraft technique, so I want this matter to be settled as soon as possible, but I don't want to solve it myself.

However, for some reason, there is only a good chance of encountering the few unusual species that seem to be in the dungeon, or even more likely to encounter those who think they are creating them.

"Actually, there have been several sightings of monsters around this 15th floor that appear to be unusual species. You know, the existence of other threesomes who act like they steal someone else's eyes."

I knew it. That was the look on Ray's face right now.

"The person I'm going to make this case is not compatible with us."

"No, no, I don't think you're targeting the Rays in particular, do you? Anyway, the 15th floor is an easy place to move as a desert hierarchy, and it's about midway through the dungeons. Naturally, there will be more adventurers, so it's the perfect place to check the abilities of abnormal species."

"I think the upper floors have a lot of adventurers, too?

"Because there are many beginners up there. Aren't you thinking you can't help dealing with a weak adventurer? Well, this is a casual prediction over here."

The leader man whining about wanting to get things done quickly tells him, and the other adventurers following him snort that the same is true again.

"Whatever's going on here, how's the lower tier? From the 16th basement... you know, if you think about the temperature alone, it's definitely easier to spend than in the desert, right?

Ray, who asks so, has an unpleasant look on his back when it comes to tone.

What Preades told me was predominantly information on the desert hierarchy, but I still hear some talk about the hierarchy below it.

And above all, if the information that Elaine got when she bought the map and that Ray heard from her opponents who came to stroke Seto all over the city was correct, coming out on the 16th floor underground was like an undead, starting with skeletons, ghosts and zombies.

"Once I moved to the basement 16th floor, then I looked around a bit, and then I came up the stairs... there was nothing suspicious about it in the basement 16th floor for now"

"I hope so. Even though it's a troublesome hierarchy, if something abnormal comes out of it, it's no bother."

"Trouble, is it?

The man who overheard the word asks unexpectedly.

If I tried to make Ray's battle the man I was confirming with that eye, I didn't think very much that the person in front of him would struggle with some degree of undead.

In fact, Ray and Undead go very well together. Because it specializes in the magic of flames that the general undead is not comfortable with.

But at the same time, some kind of undead and ray go bad by the worst.

I don't have a problem with skeletons or ghosts, but the problem is with zombies. Zombies are basically rotten, and the stench of their bodies is enough to turn away even normal humans. And Ray has five senses far superior to normal humans.... Yes, five senses. I mean, smell, too.

When I had previously dived into a dungeon where there was an altar of inheritance as an escort to Elaine, I was damaged by its stench as soon as I entered the hierarchy where the undead was, leaving me half paralyzed.

I guess I remembered that. Ray gives me a sincerely unpleasant look, while I think half of the time I'll go around the store and look for the kind of mask.

In over a year since I came to this world called Elgin, I've never seen anything like a mask.

(Do you want me to tell you what the mask looks like and make it? When I was caught in a fire or something, I covered my mouth with cloth, so I don't think that's why I don't have the idea of that system.)

"Mr. Ray?

To Ray, who began to think with an unexpectedly serious look, a man of leadership looks worried and asks.

Most importantly, if you're in this state while you're talking, you can take that for granted.

"No, it's nothing. Just think about it. And now you're going to move this hierarchy toward the little room?

"Yes, because, as I was saying, I'm looking for abnormal species and people in suspicious movements"

"Well, then proceed with caution. I'm already attacking this hierarchy, but a good number of monsters are coming."

"... oh, I see"

To Ray's advice, the man who understood what he wanted to say nodded.

Indeed, compared to the hierarchy above, this hierarchy is because it has a higher number of monsters due to the influence of having an oasis, even if it is counted as the same desert hierarchy.

"Yes, I understand.... Well, it's time to go, but please take care of Ray and the others"

When I told him that, I bowed my head, and the adventurers, who had listened so much behind their leadership, bowed their heads, and proceeded to make sure they were different from each other.
