Legend

A giant cicada, twenty meters long, has its torso cut into two pieces and its torso is blown away by Seto's blow, while its lower body falls to the ground.

Seeing it, Ray finally releases the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, and Seto also kills the recoil that unleashed the power crash by landing it on the ground, rushing toward Ray.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Ray strokes his head with a hand that doesn't have a death size on Ceto as he rubs his face against Ray as he joyfully throats.

"Thanks to you, I can handle this."

Praising him so, Seto was even more throbbing to expose the joy praised by Ray.

It's been a few minutes, and the light bulb slowly descends toward the Rays.

The bright extinction of the light was slow and even seemed lost in approaching Ray somewhere.

Leaning his neck at the appearance of such a light sphere, Ray leans his neck wondering why he is not approaching.

But... that would be natural, too.

Light spheres are only the will of the world tree, not to mention the world tree.

And a tree scares the fire, naturally.

Only known as the World Tree, the World Tree, which can also be called the body of the Light Sphere, has strong fire resistance to the kindling taking place around it and the flames emitted by the Wizard.

Even such a light sphere was apart from the red armor of the Flaming Emperor, which Ray had worn until earlier.

A huge amount of magic was transformed into flaming magic by Ray's qualities and concentrated to the point where it could be visualized.

As if that is the incarnation of flames.

A tree called the World Tree, even if it has strong fire resistance, it has its limits.

The red armor of Ray's unleashed flaming emperor was far beyond its limits.

That's why I hesitated even if I wanted to get close to Ray.

If I could communicate with the light sphere, Ray might have understood the circumstances around it, but Ray didn't have the ability to do that.

I can only hold the feeling that the light bulb isn't getting any closer.

"Hey, what's up? Is something wrong?

To Ray, who asks so, the light sphere slowly approaches… inadvertently brightens violently, as previous actions lie.

At the same time, Ray, who felt signs of something moving behind him, leaps off the scene almost reflexively.

Seto also jumps sideways with four legs with such a ray.

Ray turned his gaze away from the scene toward the sign, surprised that there was a giant cicada upper body there, and opened his eyes.

"Become!?

They cut off his torso and blew him from where he was cut off after eating Seto's power crash on it.

Nonetheless, for some reason, the giant cicada moved only in her upper body and flew towards Ray.

Still, it seems that the current attack was the genuine last force, and the upper body of the giant cicada falls to the ground as it is, making it immobile even with Pickle.

"... is it really dead this time?

Ray alerts Death Size in his hand just once he was jumped off his upper body alone.

Make sure the giant cicada doesn't move after a few seconds, a dozen seconds, or a few dozen seconds as it is, and finally solve the setup.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Are you all right? And to Seto, who's throating, Ray nods and gently strokes that he's all right.

Next to such a ray, the light sphere, which had been lost as to whether to approach the ray until earlier, approached the distance before the battle against the giant cicada began at some point.

It was Ray with a glimpse of the light sphere, but he picks up the stone that was falling nearby with nothing more to say.

To confirm the life and death of the giant cicada, lightly... then throw the stone at a rate that will definitely hurt if you hit it.

The hit stone echoed a less pleasant sound, like a stone engulfing the meat around it.

The upper body of a giant cicada does not move slightly, even if it is hit with a stone at such a speed that it makes such a noise.

No, the stone is moving somewhat due to the impact of being hit, but it was clear that was not the will of the giant cicada.

"Looks like you're really dead. I'm just going to check it out. Seto needs backup."

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

When Ray tells Seto and takes a step with the Death Size in place, the light sphere moves in front of him and blinks.

Like yourself? Ray opens his mouth with a little thought to the light sphere like he's saying.

"You wait near Seto. If that giant cicada was a monster growing up in your magic and sap, it would be the worst match for you."

To explain such a ray, the photosphere travels to Seto's side with great enthusiasm after several bright extinctions.

I was told to be on Seto's side because I understood that.

Glimpsing the light sphere near Seto, Ray once again approaches the giant cicada.

If anything happens, with a giant cicada while being able to deal with it immediately...... exactly pack the upper body of a giant cicada and an intermission, and still see the giant cicada not move, then poke it several times with a death-sized stone poke.

Still seeing no response whatsoever, I poked a little harder next... eventually I understood it was really dead.

"I didn't think you were alive with your body in two. I saw on TV or something before that insects don't have pain... is that because of that? No, but I've fought insect-shaped monsters before, like some of them were obviously in pain."

Leaning his neck, he examines the bodies of giant cicadas again.

The first thing Ray was first interested in was, as a matter of course, the giant cicada demon stone.

However, the total length is twenty meters… even if the torso is cut into two pieces and halved, there is no way that the demon stone can be removed immediately from the torso, which is ten meters long.

No, I guess I could also remove the demon stone if it went into my body from a severed place to be exact, but that meant that my whole body could be painted onto giant cicada fluid, and I wanted to avoid that situation if I could, as Ray.

Or, even if you think of slashing and tearing your torso with a death size... it definitely takes time.

In the end Ray puts the Demon Stone behind him and then shifts his interest to his feet.

Some were severed by a death-sized blow using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, but the original giant cicada legs totaled as many as ten left and right.

Nearly half of her body is on her lower body because she was mutilated, but she still has legs on her upper body.

"These feet... you were ringing metal when you took the Death Size blade"

Remembering the battle that took place in the World Tree, Ray turns his gaze to the tip of the giant cicada's foot.

The tip of the foot was pointed more like a needle than a sharp blade, and then there was something like a hole in the center part.

Did you pass behind Ray's brain when you saw it, clinging to the trunk of the world tree and sucking the sap and magic out of that trunk as well?

This would mean that the foot of the giant cicada was a weapon while also serving as a mouth.

"I have a proper mouth on my face for that split."

I try to touch the tip part of my foot, but it's hard to come back from it...... that's what it feels like to be metal.

You played Ray's swinging Death Size blow, so you'll definitely have the corresponding hardness.

That would mean that it is also excellent as a weapon making material.

(There's just a hole in the middle... if this is just a sharp needle-like condition, I guess that's what you can use as a weapon as it is)

Thinking about that while touching one of the giant cicada's legs, I feel the signs of someone inadvertently approaching me.

Turning his gaze towards you, there were three dark elves there.

Looking at it, I recall some of them heading towards the rear of the light sphere… the creation of the world tree, as they were fighting giant cicadas over it.

(You were there, if you say so...)

More than a lot of intense and busy battles, Ray, who had completely forgotten about the matter, speaks to the dreaded three dark-elves approaching.

"What's up?

The tension must have been lifted by that voice, which was spoken of in a somewhat mild way. Open your mouth in a hurry.

"What's wrong with you?! What the hell, this further place! Uh, already. I don't know what method you used, but destroying the forest so much..."

A woman in the dark elf, who would be the leader of a threesome, comes closer, saying so.

"Besides, that huge thing could be the monster that was flying the forest sky at will until just now! Looks like we were fighting Mr. Ray's Griffon... but that suddenly fell to the ground, so it's natural to come and see how it goes!

Two other dark elves nod in agreement with the words of their leader.

"If you imitate the destruction of the forest...... if you do poorly, you will fight everyone in the settlement!?

Ray is just a little surprised that there was a color in that word that worried him.

(For once, I'm appreciated, too)

Ray seemed surprised, but he is treating the world tree in a dark elf settlement and safely locating and protecting the four missing children.

For the Dark Elves, Ray can say benefactor.

I never wanted to do an ungrateful imitation like fighting such a benefactor, and most importantly, I don't think I can win.

Ray opens his mouth to reassure the dark elf woman wondering how to explain to the settlers.

"I'm fine. The forest hasn't been destroyed."

"What? What are you saying? Isn't this how it's getting further? That's why I'm deluding you..."

The other two dark elf men also nod at the words of the dark elf woman who tells her so as she is only a little shuddered.

But... against those three, Ray's gaze was directed at the trees further afield.

The Dark Elves, who followed Ray's gaze, once again turn their gaze to Ray in such a way that they don't know what they want to do.

(Normally, I'm not convinced that the forest has moved… and only a part of it.... how did you really do that? root of a tree or something. It should have been well in the soil)

Whatever you think, it was an irrational event, but you don't realize it's not strange that Ray or Seto's very existence is called irrational, I guess Ray.

"If you really can't believe what I'm saying... right, you should try to get out of the woods for once. I think that way you can see that the forest itself has grown as much as it has been able to land here."

Huh, if the shape of the forest was distorted, regardless of the junction of the barrier covering the settlement itself, it was Ray who questioned what was going on with the stray junction, but it was in this land where something called magic and magic existed in the first place that it was the world tree that did it.

I come to the conclusion that it would be useless to worry about that area.

"The forest... has spread for this further place, is it?

Even a dark elf living with a world tree, the words out of Ray's mouth are unexpected and not believable at all.

But still, what made me want to believe was that temporarily Ray had a proven track record of speeding up the world tree and, above all, the giant cicada corpse now spreading in front of him had given him strong persuasion.

There is no way that someone with all this power could tell a lie if they look it up.

"You're more of a settler now than you are about the forest. Fighting monsters was still going on when you guys headed this further, wasn't it? Don't you have to go back?

"Huh!? Oh, yeah. Not to much of a sight... for now, there is no danger in this further place. You can think of that, can't you?

"I didn't make it, so I can't guarantee absolute safety, but I can probably just say it's okay."

Saying so, Ray touches the upper and lower body of the giant cicada and stores it in the misting, calling Seto to cross over to his back.

"Oh, hey! What can we do..."

I want us to take ourselves with us if we can. To the dark elf woman who tells her otherwise, Ray shakes her neck sideways over Seto's back.

"Sorry, I can't do that. Me or Seto... I can only ride like a kid if I try. Whatever you think, you weigh more than a kid, don't you?

Not as big as the marina, but the dark elf woman has a pretty big chest.

He was also taller than Ray, not very much, but he couldn't say he weighed as much as a child.

"For that reason, I'm sorry, but we need you to come back on our own. Just... don't worry, I think the monsters can probably do something about it."

"Huh?"

Like when we talked about the further land, she was a dark elf woman who didn't know what she was talking about, but regardless, Ray slaps Seto gently in the neck.

Having sensed Ray's will, as usual, Seto rushes up in the air with a few steps of help.

The ground gets farther away while you see it… it takes less than a few minutes for things to arrive in the settlement.

"Seto, please"

"Grrrrrrrr"

Tiny, throaty...... and flying around the vicinity of the settlement, Seto highs, highs.

It's not about the king's intimidation, it's about purely Seto... to show Griffon to other monsters that he's here.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto sounded like every monster in the vicinity of the settlement, and when we understood that there was a griffon near us, we fled at once.
