Storage of the Cyclops' bodies ends in minutes.
You just have to touch the body in the first place, so it shouldn't take long.
That's how Ray finishes storing the body, and he speaks to Mileyne, arguably the person responsible for this occasion.
"Mileyne, what are we going to do? Can we just keep going back to Gilm, or wait for the other faces to come back? The fact that there are no bodies other than cyclops means they're all alive, right? I don't think Dietz met anyone before they got here."
To the words from Ray's mouth, Mileyne also stops loving Seto and nods back.
"Right. I asked everyone to go back to Gilm and let me know about this... I guess we should talk about Cyclops being cleaned up once we get back to Gilm. No, given the time, I'm guessing you haven't arrived in Gilm yet."
"What do we do? You can go back to the guild if I'm ahead of you."
"... that's okay too, but now a bunch of cyclops are coming out? If anything happens, I'd love to have Ray as my trump card."
In the sense of trump cards, there is also the presence of Vihera, who dealt with five cyclops.
But I guess it's still more reassuring for Mileyne to be a thoughtful Ray than just meet Vihera.
… I can never say that there is no reason for Seto.
Knowing it or not, Ray listens to Mileyne and turns his gaze to Vihera, opening his mouth.
"With Vihera, I don't think there's a problem with the war force. Vihera would be able to fight that red cyclops."
"Red Cyclops?
I'm going to turn a gaze like Vihella asks me if I cared about Ray's words like that.
"Oh. An individual who supposedly ruled these cyclops. I don't know if it's a rare species or a superior species... but it was a troublesome opponent anyway"
"Interesting."
"... I thought you'd say that. Ma, which one of you already defeated me, and I'd rather go back to Gilm than talk about it in detail here. So, what do we do?
At the end of the speech was an inquiry into Mileyne.
Make your way to Gilm. Find former guerrilla faces scattered in the woods, and it's a fact that both can move effectively if Ceto has the means to fly.
Ray can do more than come this far, so he turns his gaze on Mileyne like he leaves it to you.
Mileine, entrusted with judgment, gets a little lost...... turning her gaze in turn to faces like Dietz, Bühne and Vihera, eventually opens her mouth.
"Right. I'm sorry, Ray, can you head to Gilm first? Seto can fly and move in the sky, so he can definitely get there before the others who ran and moved. If we don't report that the battle is over, there's a chance that a crusade will be formed."
Ray nods quickly, wondering if there is any particular disagreement with Mileyne's opinion.
In fact, if the seven Cyclops, and the rare or superior species, may be near the Guild, there is a good chance that a crusader will be formed.
And it takes both money and time to form a crusade, gathering adventurers, collecting supplies, and preparing carriages.
While that was happening, in fact, all of it had already been defeated. If it had been, it would have been a bone break in the literal sense of the word.
If the cyclops are still there, I've already wiped them all out... and that's all I thought about, Fu Ray opens his mouth remembering the red cyclops he defeated, and the seven that were dead here.
"Can I really report that I've already defeated all Cyclops? The number of cyclops was five when I first heard from Dietz. But there are actually red cyclops, plus seven regular cyclops. Isn't there something else still out there?
"It's..."
Mileyne can't immediately deny Ray's words.
The same is true of the others, surrounded by the sounds of birds and beasts singing through the spring forest.
The first to break such silence was Sulnin, who was watching how Ekril was doing.
"You should explain that area to the guild together. Probably in the form of total annihilation. Besides... I'm worried about that hammer that the red cyclops had."
With that word, a giant hammer comes to mind behind the brains of those who actually saw the red cyclops.
A red cyclops about five meters tall doesn't seem small in my hand, as if I made it as a dedicated piece of equipment, such a hammer.
"Oh, if that hammer, I'm collecting it.... It's a pretty nasty substitute."
"Trouble, is it? Is it a pain in the ass in the ass in the sense that it's heavy and can't be lifted?
I know he thinks he's different, too, but Ray still shakes his neck to the side to Sulnin's inquiry, which he asks with the meaning of confirmation.
"You felt like that hammer itself had some sort of consciousness. When the red cyclops that were fighting me started to be pushed and I decided I could no longer reverse them, I stretched something like a root out of my hand holding a hammer into my body and took over the red cyclops consciousness... No, I didn't clearly put consciousness on the table, so is it right that I erased consciousness? It's a pain in the ass to fight normally because of its ability to regenerate."
Vihera frowned slightly, listening to such an explanation of Ray.
"The fact that Cyclops used magic items meant that the hammer was huge, right?
"Oh. It's pretty big compared to the sticks that regular cyclops use"
"... I wonder who prepared that hammer. Honestly, I can't think of anything. No, I can think of a way to get an alchemist to make it if I just have it ready, but do I need to do that? Even though they're cyclops, they're not intelligent? You said I'd give you this magic item, but you only think Ning Luo Bai is here, don't you?
"I was wondering about that area, too. No way, I accidentally picked up a magic item somewhere that a cyclops that size could use. There's no way.... about this size, by the way"
Once he decides that it would be better to show it to Vihera, Büne, and finally Dietz as well, Ray takes out the hammer.
In the giant hammer that suddenly appeared in front of him, those who were there once looked at him, even the faces of Mileyne, Sulnin and Johanna opened their eyes wide.
Of these, Sulnin shouts back to me as soon as possible.
"Does that hammer have the ability to take over the other person's consciousness!? Isn't it dangerous to detour that!
Everyone leaves after a few steps to scream the sulnin.
However, Ray touches the hammer pattern without looking particularly nervous and opens his mouth.
"Don't worry. Because there is no more consciousness in this hammer. I've been trying to take over this consciousness when I tried to store this hammer in the item box, but maybe there's just a magic item and I tried to do something with magic. On the contrary, my magic drank me and my consciousness completely vanished."
"... there can be,"
I don't know how much magic Ray has. It was Mileyne or Sulnin, but I've seen that battle many times before, and I understand that it's not the usual amount of magic.
He also sees things like the sight of Johanna and Dietz creating a fire whirlwind, the armor of the king, and the red armor of the fiery emperor up close.
A phenomenon with a different digit than a normal wizard would cause… that is what can create a sight to be called a natural disaster.
Of course not without something like technology that deals with magic, but more than that, it takes magic to cause that phenomenon.
And it was never possible that Ray didn't have that magic.
"For that reason, this hammer right now is a pure magic item... it may sound a little strange, but you don't have the ability to manipulate people"
"... if that story is true, it's a pretty powerful magic item, isn't it? When it is possible to generate thunder, and even give it a high regenerative ability, does it take the form of the superior compatibility of Lord Elk of the Axe of the Thunder God? Well, it's very different in terms of axes and hammers."
It was a rare and slightly exciting sulnine, but Mileyne opens her mouth as if she could put cold water on that excitement.
"Well, maybe if you look only at your abilities... who can use this? That would be impossible to imitate for a normal human being to wield this..."
Once the words were stopped, Mileyne turned her gaze toward Ray.
The weapon Ray usually uses is a sickle.
As its name suggests, it is a large sickle, the length of the pattern is about 2 m, the length of the blade is about 1 m, and this was also a difficult weapon to use if normal.
No, instead of using it, it's even hard to behave satisfactorily.
Ray is using such a weapon, so I was pointed at the gaze that maybe I could use this magic item hammer as well, but Ray shook his neck sideways at it.
I have confidence in my arm strength, and it would be possible to have this hammer if I wanted to.
But that's it.
That hammer, which is too huge compared to the Death Size, is the size of a level that interferes with swinging even if it is possible to hold it.
Not very much, but there's no way a smaller ray can wield it than normal.
"You don't want to use it for a second. Besides, compared to the axe Elk has, I don't think it's superior compatibility. Purely in the sense of performance. It might even be superior compatibility if it means versatility of abilities... from my point of view, it feels like subordinate compatibility"
"Hmmm... if they do say..."
Sulnin sighs sadly that you finally returned to me in Mileyne's words.
"But, Mr. Ray. If you can't use it, what did you bring?
Asking Johanna as she strokes Seto, Ray asks as she stores the hammer into mystering.
"Even if you leave it there, it could be used by other monsters. I know it won't work for a regular monster because of its size, but there's no certainty that I've finished all the cyclops."
"Cyclops, are you still here?
Ray also understood how Johanna would like to sigh.
It would have been a crusade of one cyclops if it had been, but when I actually came to the woods, five existed, and furthermore red cyclops, thought to be rare or superior species, existed with magic items. Then if you try to escape, there are two new cyclopses in the place where the horse or carriage was left, which seems to be destroying the carriage and killing the horse.
On top of this, it wouldn't be a lot of fun for Johanna if she told me there was still cyclops.
"I don't know. I just don't think there's any better way for a normal cyclops to consolidate and act than by defeating that red cyclops."
"That's troubling me. If you're a Rank C party, you're still going to die if a regular traveler or low-ranking adventurer encounters Cyclops."
"... when this case is cleared up, maybe you should report it to your guild that you should look into it. Well, it's time to get ahead of Gilm, what are you guys gonna do? I have a horse."
Ray turning his gaze toward Dietz.
When the Rays left Gilm, Vihera and Dietz were bringing horses to replace them in addition to the horses they would ride.
Beaune is riding with Vihera, so there are currently still two horses available.
And here were four: Mileyne, Johanna, Ekril, and Sulnin.
Of course it's a lot tough to have two adults on one horse, but if you still run to a point where you don't give it full speed, there's no problem.
The horse I borrowed was a rigorously trained horse, and it was also significant that he was very good.
Mileyne and the others would each whisper to Ray's words about what they would do, and eventually they would get an answer.
"Well, if you can, I'd like to use the horse, okay? You can't leave the lost Ekrill like this, and it's pretty tough when you take her with you."
That's what happened in the end.
"Then I'll take care of you. Even with Cyclops' survival, Vihella would be safe."
"Phew, I hope so. As far as I'm concerned, I've come to the corner border, and I'd be glad to see a little stronger monster show up if I could. That's like the red cyclops Ray fought for."
Ray, reassured for some reason by the same battle frenzy, heads straight for Seto.
"You won't have any trouble fighting enemies if you're in the Guild. Sooner or later, it's not strange if a more powerful monster shows up.... Seto"
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
I waited, and I rang my throat and crossed Seto's back up.
Seto rings his throat again with the willingness, and when he stays on the run, he wings and runs up to the sky.
... Mileyne and Johanna watching it, unfortunately, dropped off one and one.
