Legend

"Chi, we've been caught by the whistle sounds. It would be too much gathering!

A dark elf man shouts as he shoots an arrow.

The arrow released from the bow flies straight and pierces into the torso of the goblin that jumped out of the bush.

Not an instant death with a single blow like a head, but still capable of greatly blunting the movement.

Ray and the Dark Elves rendezvous, about enough since we started moving to the settlement.

But Ray, for the two Dark Elf men anyway, only enough had been felt for an hour or two.

That and this were both problems with goblins showing up as if they were springing up and coming out.

The whistle has been blown several times as Ray first used it and moved it to let others know that we were moving.

The goblins appear one after the other as if they were caught in the whistle.

Even though it hasn't been long enough, the number of goblins defeated exceeds thirty.

It is true that I remember mental fatigue in the goblins who show up prolonged.

There were more problems than that. That's...

"Damn, we're running out of arrows left! How about that one!

"There's not much left here either!

Yes, the biggest problem was the smaller number of arrows, as the two Dark Elf men screamed abominably.

Naturally, more attention should be paid to the number of arrows than the bow as the main weapon.

But it's also true that I can't tell Goblin how to save an arrow when he shows up.

"When you run out of arrows, turn to the children's escort. I'll take care of the rest."

"Even if the arrows are gone, there is still spiritual magic!

Ray gives a little thought and shouts to the dark elves who shouted that they couldn't play in this situation.

"Please don't run out of magic!

With a scream, Ray releases toward Goblin, who appears to have created the twilight with Nebra's eyes.

For the Dark Elves, knowing what kind of magic item Nebra's eyes were originally, you'd be very jealous.

For those who use bows, the number of arrows was a direct link to life.

That's why if you increase the number of arrows you carry, this time the weight slows down the movement you move.

In the case of dark elves, besides the bow, there is also the means of spiritual magic, but because of that, there were more limits to the number and types available than there were limits to magic.

In addition, some dark elves cannot use spiritual magic because of their qualities.

Because not everyone has such enormous magic power that they seem as inexhaustible as Ray.

(If there are a few more, Lugudos will also be able to keep them and move Seto freely)

Lugudos, who are unconscious, naturally cannot be treated in a rambling manner.

Safety will be imperative, especially since you've been hit in the head and you're unconscious.

It also meant protecting the children, and still the best thing was to keep them on Ceto.

However... if the number of dark elves joining us increases, we can also take the means to have the child escort and Lugudos carried.

That would have allowed Seto to move freely, and the line of power should have risen exponentially. Most……

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

A windarrow released with Seto's roar hits the goblin who showed up next to next.

I'm pretty sure he's got enough power, even with a purely long-range attack, as he is now.

Still, Seto's... Griffon's main body is melee combat with superior physical abilities.

Especially now Seto has the skill of a power crash that is powerful enough to crush even a big rock in one blow.... Most of all, using skills that are more powerful than goblins can only overkill them.

It was a ray row going on while defeating goblins through the night forest, but the bushes that were in the direction of progress sway again.

"Enemy! I don't have any more arrows, so I'm gonna use Spirit Magic!

"Me too!

That's how two dark elf men scream, each using the spiritual magic of soil and water.

An oak jumping out of the bush rolls through the back of his foot to the ground, pierced by a spear of dirt growing from the ground.

The oak that was next to it was supposed to suddenly wrap his face in water and confuse him, hurting another oak than he fell by wielding a long sword in his hand.

Since the two orcs that have been running in the lead are in such a state, naturally the orcs behind them will not be able to proceed.

On the contrary, I fell, and there was even an orc who was stomping on me and screaming.

"Flying slaughter!

Flying slaughter unleashed toward the wrapped oak turns the torso of several oaks into two pieces, causing more or less slashing wounds to several other oaks who were behind it.

"Let's go, we'll stick it out like this!

That's all he shouts, Ray runs out with the confused oak intact.

"Gru."

At that time, Ray nodded in his heart when he heard Seto rattle his throat when he said he didn't have the oak meat.

(I wanted to collect the meat if I could, but I don't have time for that right now.... Well, I could collect some of them, and let's keep it good)

The deliciousness of oak meat is unbearable, but as it stands, there is no time to store dead bodies for long periods of time.

If I had imitated that, I would have definitely gathered other monsters.

If only Ray and Seto could have done that, but now we need to protect the kids.

I just can't help but put up with oak meat to the extent that it is a weakness.

As he runs, leaving behind a group of oaks, he inadvertently turns his gaze toward the branches of the trees where Seto is growing on the right.

Then a few seconds later, we notice signs that Ray is approaching us.

(Again. And on the branches? There's a nasty monster...... yeah?

Ray thought about tapping into the flying slash as a preemptive attack, but realized the signs of approaching didn't belong to the monster, exhaling relief.

To Ray's appearance like that, a dark elf man running nearby asks strangely.

"What's going on?

"Reinforcements. Over here."

As Ray mutters, a dark elf jumps off the tree branch on the right, lands and walks straight next to the Rays.

"Did I make you wait?

That's what I've been asking is the dark elf guy I was talking to Ray about before I went on this expedition.

As always, there's a grin in Ray's mouth about how easily he talks to me.

"Right. Thanks to you, we're going to be fighting a lot of goblins, orcs and cobolts."

"That's the same over here. Sometimes in the woods at night, but only today, there are so many goblins and stuff."

The number of arrows in the arrow barrel of a man whining in sigh has already been cut by half.

I don't just shoot arrows from a distance, I guess I've done melee fights as well. The leather armor I was wearing had monster blood on it.

"I'm talking about the marina, because I was talking about a monster who came into a lost junction when the world tree was weakening, and the world tree was unable to get out because of its recovery, so I guess so."

"... but I don't know if there's been an unusual increase so far."

"That's an undeniable fact... come on!

Speaking to the Dark Elf man, Ray flies the makeover from Nebra's eyes into the bushes that were in the direction of progress.

"Gah!"

What I heard was screaming like a dog.

"Cobolt."

Cobolt pops out of the bush to answer such a ray whine.

I know I would have ambushed you and tried to ambush you, but I wasn't strong enough to keep Ray from feeling his signs.

No, if you misled Ray, you wouldn't have misled Seto running right behind Ray.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

They must have decided that their ambush was already known. Kobolt and the others strike at the Rays with a simultaneous roar.

The Dark Elves release arrows with bows and use spiritual magic to intercept them one after the other.

Seto was also tailored by ranged attacks such as wind arrows, ice arrows and water polo.

In the meantime, Ray naturally chops and chops the cobolts one after the other using the flying slash.

(The situation is definitely close to the worst right now, but it just sounds good that you can release the Flying Slash in full)

Flying slaughter with increased levels to five and extreme power.

In terms of using that flying slash, it was never a bad thing to have some targets.

(As for the addition and subtraction of strength and weakness, the feeling has been largely grasped in the battle so far. I wonder if the range of the mighty one's flying slaughter or how effective it will be on how many opponents)

It releases a flying slash from the sky to the cobolt that was climbing the tree in an attempt to strike it, breaking its body in both branches.

Cobolt, suddenly gutted by his buddies from above, is confused if he doesn't understand what happened... and the Rays go in there.

"Ahhhhhh!

One of the dark elves releases a continuous thrust by Rapier.

The thrust, which is released twice or three times in a row in a flash, penetrates the torso of the cobolt with the spear and pierces the head where the head is lowered by its impact.

There was undoubtedly just something to call the strong, and from Ray's eyes he looked quite the owner of the arm.

(Some dark elves specialize in melee as well as magic and bows)

Two, the figure of one elf who fought behind Ray's brain in a martial arts tournament in the Bestian Empire last year is past.

About an opponent who deserved a Rank A adventurer and had both powerful spiritual magic and melee abilities.

(Exactly. I don't have that much arm.... about Rank C? I guess I only live longer than humans and spend more time working out, so naturally around there)

Ray also wields a death size toward the approaching cobolt.

"Gah!"

No moves, nothing, a blow unleashed purely by force.

But the blow breaks Kobolt's long sword and punches him in the face with the momentum he has.

A monster that originally weighs about 100 kg cannot take a Death Size blow.

Cobolt, who blew up screaming, had been crushed in the head and lost his life at that point.

Try Painburst with a blade to return and Cobolt, who ate it, screams and loses consciousness like he has never heard before.

"Come on, isn't it time to get to the settlement?

"Right, I'm pretty sure we're almost there. To be honest, it was totally unexpected that there would be so many monsters out there because it was night forest"

A dark elf man lined up next to Ray returns words to Ray's soliloquy as he squeezes his bow.

"Seems so. I thought this was normal in these woods."

"No matter how much, this is too much. In this situation, it's not very easy, but I can't live in these woods."

"After all, is this about the anomaly that's happening in the woods?

Probably not.

While we exchange words with each other, nevertheless our hands go unstoppable and tailor one cobolt after another.

That the battle continues as it is, for a few minutes. The cobolts that attacked me were all turned into corpses and lay on the ground.

The Dark Elves, who were also nearby while fighting with Kobolt, are joining us one after another, and Ray's line of fighting power is increasing over time.

Conversely, the Kobolts managed to hold onto only a large number of them because they weren't originally that powerful monsters... but it must have been a natural conclusion in a way that they were quickly wiped out after some borders.

"... you've got more people"

"Oh. You won't have to be frightened of monster raids anymore with this"

"There's that too... if you don't mind, could you keep the four people on Seto's back over there? That way, Seto will be free to fight."

"No, but that's... enough for the moment. I think that Griffon is becoming a force for war? And now you need to go out of your way to take care of these kids?

If you try to be the dark elf guy talking to Ray, Seto plays a role well enough by doing a long shot with four kids on his back.

And if we take care of the children ourselves, naturally those who take care of the children will not be able to participate in the attack.

Using spiritual magic makes it possible to attack, but not many have more magic left in their lubrication than have fought many times since entering the woods.

If so, it was natural to think that the current situation was the best.

It was Ray trying to say something back to it, but before that another dark elf opens his mouth.

"It's time for a settlement!

If asked, it was only natural for Ray to decide that the imitation that would keep the children from now on would only stand in the way of Ning Luo, and that he would eventually head to the settlement as it stood.

And...... the forest breaks down and eventually the junction of the barrier shows up.
