Legend

Spread on one side are a number of monster bodies.

Among them, many monsters have amputated their limbs and torso, and there is little such thing as a corpse of five satisfied bodies.

Ray used Death Size to unleash the Flying Slash.

As far as I can see...... it was somewhat daunting, but still a lot of bodies are rolling in front of Ray now.

Ragud approaches Ray, who pierces the ground with a death-size stone poke and peeks around.

There was so much fatigue on his face that I could see it.

Neither does Ragud mean that none of us have fought monsters before.

Still, it was the first time I had ever been relative to this many monsters, and more than that, it was naturally the first time I had taken command of the battle against those monsters.

"Good luck. Thanks to Lord Ray, this battle has been successfully won. … but this is the only place where the victory has been confirmed"

"Right. Ragud was in command and close to each other, so it could be pretty tough elsewhere."

"No, even if they say so. I didn't expect you to buy that high."

"Really? Actually, I think he fought hard enough from what I saw. Besides, if this place is cleaned up, it's time to head somewhere else, okay?

"... Yep. Please. Honestly, I'm worried about what's going on with the other battlefields."

For Ragud, protecting the settlement is better than anything.

Relying on Ray, the outsider of the settlement, was a little bit of a shame, but if he nevertheless hung his self-esteem and the safety of the settlement on the balance, it was clearly the safety of the settlement that was heavy.

(No, Ray and Marina must be in a deep relationship. When that happens, you can't be a complete outsider. … but also admit it…)

If you consider Marina's … position in the settlement of Optis, precisely its grandfather, Ray, who is deeply related to the Marina, will also be an important figure in nature and this settlement.

There was no reason not to think about it, but now it was first to ensure the safety of the settlement.

"Well, it's time for me to go... oh, yeah. Can I have two bodies of the green wolf monster that's falling over there?

At the end of Ray's gaze is a green wolf about a metre long. Ray's flying slash has caused his body to split to his upper and lower body and he is dead.

It's not that big, beyond being its length, including its tail, but it's nevertheless the first monster I've seen for Ray, and I definitely wanted it in the sense of securing the Demon Stone.

"Instead, goblins, cobolts and augs do it that way. I want the orc over here if I can, but that's as good as it can be."

"... okay? That leaves Lord Ray with little credit, doesn't it?

Regardless of the largest number of goblin corpses, cobolts don't taste as bad as falling goblins, and fur is useful. There are so many uses of materials in Auga that they are not comparable to cobolts or goblins.

And the oak that Ray wants because he needs it to some extent was pretty good if you try it as food.

He says you can give up most of it, so I guess.

But for Ray, the demonic stone of an unknown monster was more important than the corpse of an elephant monster.

(It's a shame about the oak meat, but you'll get some)

I frown only for a moment at the smell of blood drifting thickly around me.

Keep all these monsters with the dark elves. What was it, but it doesn't mean Ray likes to kill.

Still, I don't imitate myself or my people hesitating when they're in danger.

"Is that okay with the terms? Then I'm going somewhere else."

"Huh? Oh, yes. I don't mind if Lord Ray does."

"Okay, then it's settled"

That's all he tells you, Ray touches a wolf's body with green fur and stores it in mysterious.

Regardless of Ragud, some of the other dark elves around must be the first to see Ray use mystering. He was silent with a surprised look on his face.

A glance at such dark elves, Ray turns his gaze over the sky.

There, as always, Seto and the giant cicada continued to fight.

Flames, water, ice and wind emitted from all directions.

It is unleashed towards a giant cicada that boasts an overwhelming giant compared to Seto...

"Is that a griffon ceto? I heard it was a rare species, but that's just great. Flames, winds, water, ice, soil… use a wide variety of skills."

"Yeah?"

Ray, who was watching the battle over, turns his gaze toward Ragud once wondering about Ragud's words, who was also looking up next to him.

I guess it's because Ray's gaze was pointed at him like that. Ragud looks back at Ray with a strange look on his face.

"What's up?

"No, now... did I say dirt?

Whimpering, Ray lines up Seto's remembered skills in his head.

(Sat?... misjudged poison claws and power crashes as soil skills? No, no way. You might think of it as a dirt attribute if you're forced to think of both, but you don't think of it as a dirt attribute in a situation where you're not even watching that fight right now, do you?

As far as Ray knows, Seto doesn't have what you can call a clear earthly attribute skill just by looking at it like a stone spear or flying a chunk of dirt.

That's why I open my mouth with doubts.

"I don't think Seto possessed any earthly skills, do you?

"What? But... Oh, look"

When Ragud's gaze was directed into the air again, there was an unmistakable figure of a spear made of dirt.

A blow that would slow down compared to the spear throw Ray emits, but still have a high enough killing power.

That's flying in the sky...

"What, he's after Seto!?

Yes, it's not the giant cicadas that have dirt spears straight ahead, Seto.

He wings and dodges a spear of dirt that came toward him, releasing a water polo of counterattack.

A water polo that flies straight towards a giant cicada, but is lightly intercepted by an ultrasound of giant cicadas because it is a skill that is not so high.

"Why is that giant cicada using dirt skills?

It's not that long since Ray fought giant cicadas. But still, I was wondering if I could have used the skills of earthly attributes at that time. Question that.

As ultrasound showed, the way the giant cicada attacked was primarily an attack belonging to the wind.

Why would such an opponent attack an earthly attribute?

The moment I thought so, past Ray's brain was the giant cicada pupae clinging to the world tree... the larvae before it became that pupae to be exact.

"... I see. I lived at the roots of the world tree, under the soil, so isn't it strange to be able to use my soil lineage skills even after feathering? But Seto isn't sweet enough to get hit with that skill."

It was a grunting ray, but that word probably includes strength as well.

A giant cicada attack can do a lot of damage to Seto if hit.

And Seto's attacks are easily avoided by the ultrasound of giant cicadas and his high motor ability.

(If I were there... no, now is the time)

When the giant cicada flew out of the world tree, if Ray was on Seto's back, he wouldn't have gotten this close to glued.

But with such imitation, the world tree would have been completely killed by giant cicadas.

And it would also have been impossible to deploy again the junction of the barriers currently protecting the settlements.

With that in mind, the status quo was never the worst case scenario.

Boom! Huge flames gushing up in the sky.

An attack by Seto's firebraces, but firebraces released in a straight line are never a difficult attack to avoid for giant cicadas.

Ray, who was watching that flame, shook his head small.

(Doesn't change what I should do)

When he whines inside and makes it clear what he needs to do, Ray's gaze is directed toward Ragud, who is deprived of consciousness by a fierce battle over the sky.

"Ragud, do you have any idea what's going on with the other battlefields? Let me know if there's a dangerous place."

"... no, unfortunately. No information has come in on what's going on with the other battlefields. But if we're in the same situation here, we're probably not unilaterally disadvantaged."

That's what Ragud gave me back to Ray's words, and Ray nods a little thinking.

"Okay. Then I'll circle the settlement as planned, trying to see through the fence's junction. Seto is holding onto that giant cicada now, but he doesn't know how long to keep it either. I want to finish off the monsters around the settlement and head to Seto's reinforcements as soon as possible"

"Yeah, please. This settlement is important to us… it is a very important place. More than that, we have to protect them at all costs. So if you can help Lord Ray..."

Ragd coming head down deep.

There are many things I think about Ray, but still, any imitation if it's to protect my hometown, the settlement... I had the idea that I could do as much as bow my head to Ray.

Ray, who was watching Ragud, nodded.

"I'll take care of it. I won't imitate the monster who's trying to do something about Marina's hometown. Besides, it's in my interest to defeat a monster."

"Profit, is it?

"Oh.... I'll let you know later if you care"

Tell him so, and if he gently waves the hand of those who don't have a death size, he runs away.

I would have liked to have gotten some more information about the other Dark Elves if I could, but I can't possibly have any more information about the other battlefields than I've been fighting here all my life.

"Please be careful!

Ragud spoke so loudly to Ray's back as he moved away rapidly, not sure if he heard, and the surrounding dark elves were bowing their heads to Ray's back running away or throwing backup voices.

"Come on, let's get rid of the body first. In this season, the smell can be terrible if left like this, and it doesn't necessarily mean the beast or other monsters won't come because of that smell. Whether you want to do some fine dismantling later, let's wrap it up in a big mess. When we're done, we'll leave enough power to protect this place and go back to the other battlefields."

Following Ragud's instructions, the Dark Elves begin to move.

Ray's working so hard to help us, so what if we don't work hard here? That's what I thought.

The overwhelming strength of Ray is definitely affecting that positive thought.

I watched the intensity until it was overwhelming in the woods last night, and I even asked.

But when you look at it in a bright spot like this, it's obviously not.

We can handle this ourselves. I think so from the bottom of my heart, and soon I gather the body of a monster in one place, patiently wanting to rush under my people.

Several monsters showed up along the way, but the original dark elves are highly combative.

Regardless of the number of monsters that have been attacked in a group, a few can be added to the pile of monsters that are immediately stripped of their lives and waiting to be stripped.

(Lord Ray... please...)

Ragud glanced at Ray's departure at the end and began to give instructions to the others again.

A place off the battlefield where the Raguds were fighting, where Ray was alone running along the fence of the barrier.

There is a light sphere on Ray's side to be exact, so it's not like I'm alone.

"With this barrier, you don't have to get lost."

As a conscious lay who is somewhat susceptible to getting lost, it was a very gratifying story that we should proceed along the lines of the barrier.

The light sphere blinks violently as if to support such a ray.

That's how you keep running for about five minutes.

Sometimes I catch fireworks like flames, ice, wind and other exchanges in the sky in the corners of my sight, while also being anxious to see a new attack of earth.

If the soil attack is what Seto is doing, it's because the giant cicadas are still doing it.

"Seto, don't get hit."

When I squeal, the light bulb blinks when I say it's okay if it's Ceto.

Ray smiles small at the appearance of a light sphere that follows without delay to his speed… inadvertently pointing a sharp gaze in the direction of progress.

There is a strong smell of iron rust from there... because the smell has drifted that I am already used to sniffing.

Although he doesn't have as sharp a sense of smell as Seto, his five senses, including Ray's sense of smell, are still far sharper than normal humans.

I mean, there's a bloody battle ahead of me...

Ray's feet kick the earth even faster.

That's how I've seen the Dark Elves, who are forcing melee fights with many monsters.

It was the sight of a monster fighting without a good commander like Ragud.

"Then I'll take the flank of that bunch of monsters... Huh!?

Eat and break. That's what I tried to say, Ray, but I almost bounce off the spot reflexively.

At about the same time, ultrasound beats from the top... many of the monster herds Ray was just about to penetrate will be slashed and torn apart by an ultrasound blade with magic.
