Legend

The size of the giant cicada that showed up is about twenty meters long. And it has five legs on the left and right, with many sharp thorns on the tip of its feet to see.

There are a total of four wings growing from the back, with the kind of transparency that you can see on the other side.

But just because it's on a thin blade to see doesn't mean it's brittle.

The fact is, even though the peel wasn't completely over yet, it was because it imitated such attacks as Seto's unleashed wind arrows and ice arrows to deflect them.

There are only cicada shaped monsters, and their faces are close to cicadas.

Ray also lived in the mountains when he was in Japan, so I've seen cicadas since I was a little girl to the point where I don't like them.

But...... the cicadas Ray has seen are still about the size of the cicadas on his palms, not very big but not giant cicadas that are about twenty meters long.

Even now Ray realized that the impression he would receive would change dramatically if it was different in size.

"But... if you stay away from the world tree, we can attack you as much as we want! Flying slaughter!"

Spread his wings and head to a giant cicada just about to fly out of a world tree, Ray waves a death size.

Released from that blade was a skill familiar to Ray.

The slaughter flew away and headed straight for the giant cicada...

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

Spread your wings and the sound sounds violently all around you.

Ray, knowing what the sound was, screams aggressively.

"Magic Shield!

At the same time that the shield of light was created, it instantly becomes a grain of light and disappears.

"Ultrasound... that too..."

Turn your gaze from where the magic shield disappeared to the ground.

There's more than just grass falling in all directions......

Some ground was rolling up, and that showed that the ultrasound power just emitted was more powerful than what Ray had eaten at first.

Most of all, more than you can prevent with a magic shield, it equals the same treatment for Ray.

Turning his gaze behind his back only for a moment, Seto is out front to shelter the light sphere, with blood flowing from several parts of its body.

Painful and surprising colors float on Ray's face.

The soft hairs growing from Seto's body are a silky touch, while also boasting a powerful defense.

That's how hard it is to cut hair with a half-breed blade.

But the ultrasound emitted from the giant cicada caused such a bloodshed against Ceto.

I don't know how powerful that is...... just thinking so, Ray squeezes his face tight.

(As soon as this battle is over, I'll cure you with potion.)

Looking at Seto, he thinks so, turning again to the giant cicada...... where he sees the giant cicada coming out of the pupae shaking his body, gripping the death size and filling the distance at once.

But...... Ray's choice was too slow. No, should I say that the giant cicada acted too early in this case?

Let your wings shake and sink your body for a moment......

"Let it!

Ray figured out what the giant cicada was trying to do, but he did the deed...... he grabbed the death size with no escape to the sky and took advantage of Slapenil's shoes and ran up into the air.

And the death size that will be swung down. But on the verge of that blade touching a giant cicada, the giant cicada flies with four wings trembling at once.

Death size blades passed where there was a giant cicada body until a moment ago.

"Shit! Flying slaughter!

The final evil ascension and the release of a flying slash toward a giant cicada flying in the sky are gently avoided by giant cicadas who have cleverly obliqued their bodies using four blades.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Ray decides he can't help himself more than flying in the sky, but calls Seto's name.

Slapenil's shoes give him the ability to walk in the sky, but still about a few steps...... only to the extent that ten steps are impossible.

After all, Seto's presence was essential for Ray to be relative to his empty enemies.

Naturally Seto answers the voice Ray calls instantly.

And it was Ray trying to cross over into Seto's back that came... but the movement stopped when he saw the light sphere that was inadvertently approaching with Seto dazzled and blinking.

Even the giant cicadas sucked away magic and sap and weakened light spheres.

Despite such a situation, it is nothing more than shrinking one's life to perish so violently.

I wondered if I wanted to let myself know that much, Ray, but in a moment, the figure of a giant cicada is past my head.

Of course the world tree is so weak for no other reason than giant cicadas.

But what Ray came up with was the direction in which the giant cicada flew. That is… directly above.

And directly above this settlement...... I knew exactly what was there by trying to surround the settlement.

"Barrier junction!?

What exists there is a barrier junction to protect this settlement from monsters, wildlife, or slave traders.

And it is the world tree that is putting up the line of the barrier...

"Stop it!

It was Ray screaming as he looked up at heaven, but the giant cicada flies up and up without looking like he cared at all about such Ray's voice or anything.

Naturally. For a giant cicada, Ray is the only troublesome opponent to wrap himself around.

That blow was an enemy with power that would even inflict great wounds on himself with a giant, and it was only natural that he wanted to leave if he could.

I was strangely concerned about the other person, but I don't realize at all that it was due to the magic that made me so powerful.

It was a giant cicada that had more powerful powers than Ray's magic and the sap of the world tree, but it was nonetheless a different story about intelligence.

The choice chosen by the giant cicada to distance itself from Ray as soon as possible...... that was to go straight up.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"

I instinctively understood what was in my direction of going was a giant cicada with the ability to use similar boundaries.

It emits the same ultrasound that was emitted earlier toward Ray… but with a straight orientation.

I will not tolerate anything that interrupts my path. It is unclear whether such a thought existed, but in this case nonetheless, the blow fired towards the junction of the barrier exerts its effect.

Paris, and.

The sound of the dropped glass squeaking around as if it could be broken.

The sound wasn't the only place in the world tree where Ray was. Everyone in the settlement heard the sound.

Then, as the broken sound of the glass indicates, the junction of the barrier becomes a shard and falls toward the ground, before touching the ground it becomes a grain of light and disappears.

Elaine and the Dark Elves, who were fighting in front of the barrier's junction, stop moving on that.

... the junction of the barrier that has protected the settlement so far has broken and disappeared as if it were glass or something.

Seeing that, no one was not shocked.

It is not only the junction of the barriers that has caused the anomaly. The same goes for the monsters who were trying to destroy the barrier's junction.

Until now, the monsters had acted without even a light of will in their eyes, but suddenly the light of will returns to their eyes the moment they hear the sound of the broken junction of the barrier.

I look around as if I was suddenly woken up where I was sleeping, completely unable to understand the current situation.

If, at this time, the monsters were in the same condition as before, the Dark Elves would undoubtedly have suffered enormous damage.

That could even have been so damaging that this settlement itself could not recover.

But...... there are more monsters gathered around the settlement overwhelmingly.

And monsters basically had a lot of races to see as enemies except their own kind.

Some monsters are like coexisting with other monsters, but such monsters are only a few.

Also, the monsters were dense.

In other words, there were many monsters in the state that there were only enemies around them if you noticed.

There are also dark elves, but overwhelmingly more monsters as a number.

As a result, the Dark Elves, who returned to me from the fact that the barrier's junction had been broken, saw a sight that could also be called a monster meal.

"Huh!? Attack the monster! Never let them in the settlement! Because there are so many women and children in the settlement!

Ragud screams, and the dark elves who returned to me with that voice attack the monster.

Still, I don't imitate like attacking Darkless Arrow Cod.

Let the monsters fight each other and attack by poking at the gap of the winning opponent.

Now that the junction of the barriers that had been erected on the settlement has disappeared, monsters can enter the settlement from anywhere.

For this reason, it was necessary for the monsters not to turn their attention to the dark elves, but to turn their consciousness to another monster nearby.

(I can handle it now...... as it is......)

A sense of impatience strikes the ragd.

Now because of the number of monsters, consciousness is directed to beings other than ourselves, and as a result we have managed to do something about it, but if things continue like this, there will undoubtedly also be monsters who will notice the presence of dark elves and settlements.

I had to think of some help before that happened, but there's nothing I can do about it as it is now.

(The destruction of the barrier's junction means that there was definitely something in the world tree.... I mean, I'm pretty sure the pulse earlier was some cause. something...... if you don't think of some means to break the status quo)

Turning his gaze to those with the world tree… While he was shocked to see the world tree, which should not have been visible by the junction of the barrier, Ragud was desperate to figure out how not to damage the settlement.

Ray was jumping off Seto's back when Ragud was thinking about the means to break the status quo.

If it was meant to be, I guess we should go after the giant cicada that broke the fence's junction and flew away.

But I can't do that right now, there were circumstances until I was definitive.

"Seto! I'm sorry, but I need to do something about the World Tree! You do the giant cicada chase! We also need to do something about the monsters that are gathering around us more than that and the barrier's junction has been destroyed! If that's possible, please!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto squeaks sharply at Ray's voice, then leaps straight after the giant cicada to the sky.

Ray, who saw Seto fly, runs toward the world tree.

The light sphere that brightens after such a ray follows, but its light is so small that it is likely to disappear now.

"Damn, wait! I will never let you die. Absolutely!

Rey, who reached beneath the world tree, lets his hands touch the trunk to shed magic.

What I remember is when you and the marina magically blew your magic into the world tree.

The procedure allows magic to flow to the world tree... but the amount of magic infused is even greater than last time.

That was what had reached a few, dozen or even hundreds of times the previous time.

If it were meant to be, the tree would wither more if this much magic were poured into it.... If you do poorly, you could even be turned into a monster by the magic infused.

But it's the world tree that Ray is pouring his magic into right now.

A world tree that has been permanently protecting the Dark Elf settlement in this land.

There's no way a world tree with that much power could monster Ray's magic. Believe that, Ray keeps pouring out his magic.

In fact, the magic that the world tree had by absorbing magic by giant cicadas had consumed almost to its limit.

Not only was it absorbed from the roots, but when it became a chrysalis and stuck to the trunk, it also fed the tip of its feet into the trunk, from which it absorbed the most important things in the life of the world trees, such as magic and sap.

Because the world tree was rapidly beginning to wither away from the evidence.

Ultimately, it forcefully destroyed the junction of the barrier that the world tree was deploying, and its recoil caused deadly damage to the world tree.

The world tree would have completely withered if it had stayed that way... and lost its life, as shown by the fact that the bright light of the light sphere was fading away in its true sense.

There Ray poured a ton of magic into it.

That's exactly the sight to call a haircut.

A few more minutes...... no, if it were a few dozen seconds late, the world tree would have completely withered.

Massive magic is poured out on the verge of the world tree's complete death... its world tree succeeds in barely surviving.

As it was for a few minutes, Ray continued to pour his magic...... eventually the leaves of the world tree, which had withered overall, filled with blue vitality.

On Ray's side, the light sphere, which at some point had fallen to the ground, eventually became smaller but also stronger moving and brightening light.

"... did you manage not to kill the world tree,"

I turned my gaze to the sky and watched Seto and the giant cicadas fight there... exhale relief that I didn't have to kill the world tree.
