Black clouds cover the skies of the Seremus plains.

It was a rain cloud to see, and it wasn't strange when it came down as it was.

Temperatures are even lower than before, and the wind takes away the health of those in the carriage podium.

While in such a situation, Ray looks to the death size his right hand is holding as he leads the carriage.

New skills acquired last night, Flying Slash Lv. Four.

I used this fortunately when a few skeletons came again when I was on the night watch, but the Flying Slash was certainly powering up.

The slaughter that was flown from the Death Size blade was both bigger and more powerful than before.

He has lightly severed Skeleton's ribs and also destroyed the demonic stones that were protected in them.

... I couldn't get the Demon Stone because of it.

(Even so, what is a flying slaughter in living armor? When I asked Dietz this morning, the owner of that demonic stone, Living Armor, was a Battle Axe user. For example, it would be natural to master the power slash no matter what you think)

It's a laugh that's still floating in Ray's mouth, while I doubt it in my heart.

Naturally. Flying slaughter is also a very user-friendly skill among the skills used by Ray.

It would also be very gratifying for Ray to be able to attack at a distance just by waving a death size.

In the sense of ranged attack, he has several means, such as magic, magic item nebula eyes, spear throwing, etc.

You can say that spear throwing in particular is close to the main force when attacking at a distance for Ray.

But spear throwing required an itinerary of taking spears out of mysteries, setting them up, and throwing them with aim, and magic required a chant of spells.

In that regard, the Nebra eyes that produce the magic just through the magic are very user-friendly, and the fact that they are equipped under the dragon robe makes a point.

However, the range of the shots is never long.

Given that, the user-friendliness of the skill of flying slaughter, which is released simply by targeting and waving a death size, was very good.

That's why Ray smiles satisfactorily, even though he wonders why he learned it from a living room armor equipped with Battleax.

Although Seto received the Demon Stone, the Battle Axe used in the living room armor belonged to Dietz.

Even if you do the night watch, naturally it won't get serious without any flavor, because Ray had decided that the monster materials, demon stones, crusade proof sites and other redeemable items that he defeated during the night would admit ownership to the defeated.

Of course, Ray is not by nature the official leader of this group.

But no one disagreed with Ray's instructions more than the basics of this group were the guerrillas.

Some of the former guerrilla members brought them here were somewhat dissatisfied, but still not enough to say anything to Ray and Seto against them.

Thus, Seto, the greatest meritor in defeating the living armor, received the Demon Stone and Dietz received something else.

Most importantly, the part of the armor that was also the main body of the living armor had been destroyed by Seto's power crash, so only Battleax could get it.

It's just that that Battle Axe is also the only substitute that Living Armor used, and it's never just Battle Axe.

The power of resentful spirits had made it close to a half-magic item.

… although it is a slightly cursed form of weapon.

Still, it should be quite a price if I took it somewhere I could sell it, and Dietz, who housed Battle Axe in Ray's mystering, nodded satisfactorily.

"Ray, shouldn't we hurry up a little bit? It's going to rain in the Selemouth Plains if we keep this up, right?

From the top of the horse accompanying Seto, Vihella calls out to Ray.

Turning upwards to that voice, Ray nodded back to Vihella when he confirmed that the rain clouds were thicker than earlier, turning around and opening his mouth.

"Increase your speed a little, but you're okay!?

No one disagrees with that word.

Naturally. Because when it rains in this Seremus plain, you have to run with poor vision.

When that happens, it's likely that you won't notice if the undead strikes in the rain.

There are holes and large stones falling by the way, even more than the ground is not properly paved.

It's a common sentiment to everyone that they don't like to move such a place in the rain, pushing it up at speed, albeit a little impotent, as Ray said.

Keep it that way for about an hour. Fortunately, rain clouds do not rain in the sky while the end of the Seremus plain is visible.

The marching speed, which would otherwise be incredible, would still be due to the lightness of not having any extra luggage on the carriage.

Even if the undead shows up again, Ray and Seto, who are running the lead, kick lightly, and the opponents approaching from around them will be dealt with by the faces of the former guerrillas in vihelas and carriages.

(Lady Ray beat the immovable noise of Rank S, Lady Vihera beat the Digma of the Water Dragon of Rank A. Considering I'm using these two as escorts, that's the undead. I feel like it doesn't matter if an army from one country attacks me)

With vigilance around the carriage, Sergio thinks that way.

Good and courteous for everyone. Then even as an adventurer, I have as much strength as I can to work solo.

... I solo because the party I used to belong to was dissolved because of various problems.

For Sergio, who has all that strength, the person Ray was a surprise in many ways.

Not wanting to antagonize Ray is one reason to go to the kingdom of Mireana, but there is also the fact that the very existence of Ray was more interesting than that.

"Sergio, it's a zombie on the other side! You want me to attack you with a bow?

To the words from Dietz, Sergio immediately shakes his neck to the side to give instructions.

"We can't keep up with this speed with zombie travel speeds. Ignore me."

"Okay!

Keep going straight through the Seremouth Plains while giving directions even as you think about it…

"Exit!

Ray's voice reaches everyone's ears.

That's how the moment everyone looks around, they obviously realize that the air drifting around them has become something different.

"Yoo-hoo!

The roar of joy that someone screamed.

The others raise their voices of joy, as if following it.

"Yay! I'm out! This is already the kingdom of Mireana!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Yikes!

The face of the former guerrillas is not the only one raising that voice. The same goes for those who were pressing in the carriage to see what was going on around them.

No, only for the greater part of those unfamiliar with rough things, there will be more joy here.

Ray running at the head of the carriage also looks at the surroundings to see if there are any abnormalities.

The undead basically never comes out of the Seremus plain, but that's not absolute either.

Because even if you are running into the kingdom of Mireana in this way, there is never a chance that you will encounter the undead who were out there by any mistake.

"The closest thing to here is a village called Goto. I'm going to be there for the night."

We've already talked about the upcoming plans, Ray, but I'll also tell you what the confirmation means.

You returned me with that word, and everyone nods with a serious look at the same time.

"Goto is not that big a village either. Since there is no inn, sleep in the carriage or pay some house to stay... it will be the same as before, no more cramped beds..."

"I can't help that. I just don't have to watch outside all night at this time of year. I need to think I was lucky."

Ray nods at Sergio's words.

"Well, then let's go"

With that word, Ray sets out for Goto.

(to the kingdom of Mireana...... you're back)

With inner emotional depth in the back of your chest.

Those who stood as guards in Goto stood to prevent monsters and bandits from entering the village, imagining only that they would eat warm food at night in this cold weather.

I wear cold gear as a protection against the cold, but it still doesn't prevent the cold from cooling from the core of my body perfectly.

For that reason, I was treading to warm up a little...

"Oh, hey! That!"

One of the two guards raises his voice to what appeared ahead of his gaze.

When the other soldier turns his gaze to the word, this one opens his eyes wide enough that he can't even speak.

That would be natural, too. Because a group of nearly twenty carriages are coming to their village.

Even a few carriages in the little merchant corps were exquisite, and if for these guards it was said that there were nearly twenty carriages, all I could think of was about what the army would pass by during the war.

"Hey, what? Bandits!?

"No way, a bandit took so many carriages... no, wait. Hey, look. The beginning of the carriage!

Turning his gaze to the beginning of the carriage to his partner's words, there was a figure on Griffon's back.

He's a small person and can't confirm his face because he's wearing a hood.

But I quickly understood who it was to the guards, just to say who was on the griffon.

A person who stayed for a time in the village of Goto some time ago and at the same time headed with the Larks Border Uncle to the Bestia Empire.

Not long ago Uncle Larks Border returned, but at that time there was no sign of Griffon, and the villagers when they spent the night in Goto... especially the guards remembered that the children were terribly disappointed.

"Ray...... are you back"

"Oh. It's definitely Ray, more than just being on a griffon. But what's going to happen to lead a bunch of carriages that way?

The person known to the inhabitants of this village, Ray, did demonize Griffon, but he was still not the kind of person who led a large number of his men this way.

But as far as I can see now, it just looks like Ray is leading the carriage behind him.

And next to Ray, this is another familiar figure.

Vihera wore a thin coat that looked cold to see, even though it was a cold sky that would soon be winter.

The position next to Ray looked like a deputy captain.

It's not actually about mercenaries or mercenaries, it's just a group of people who move... but it was impossible to tell them to guess that in this situation.

"What do we do?

"No, I said what are we gonna do... what are we gonna do?

Even while I'm worried about it that way, the group led by Ray is getting closer and closer.

I wish I had gone to call what it would have been like to be village chief, but while I was too confused by the unexpected sight, at last a group led by Ray arrives in front of the gate.

"Long time no see.... Remember?

The guard also finally opens his mouth to Ray, who calls out as he lowers his hood without looking particularly nervous.

"Oh, I remember. You're not going to forget so easily who is subjugating Griffon. Even so, you should have gone to the Bestian Empire with the Larks Border Uncle, and what brings back such a group?

"There's a lot going on. Those behind them are the ones who wanted to move to the Kingdom of Mireana."

"... maybe you're not involved in the civil unrest in the Bestian Empire or anything that's sounded like rumors"

It is a village in the countryside, but at the same time Goto is also the closest village to the Bestian Empire across the Seremus Plains.

Naturally those who come from the Bestian Empire through the Seremus Plains often take a break in Goto.

I guess the stories about the civil unrest came from such people.

"Well, I don't know. I'm just saying I made a lot of money."

The guard smiles bitterly at the words out of Ray's mouth.

"The words alone largely made sense.... would you rather go into the village than that? Then give me your ID, please."

Following that word, Ray passes the guild card he took out of Mystering to the gatekeeper.

At the same time, the others behind Ray similarly show their respective IDs to the guards and end the process without anything strange in particular.

I also received the obedient devil's necklace for Seto... and this is how the Rays completed the entire process of safely entering Goto.
