Legend

The day after I heard about Ambris from the marina, Ray, Seto and Vihera, two and one, were looking for that as they flew through the sky on schedule.

I didn't expect to be able to find it any sooner than I only knew it was a black misty being, but I haven't been able to find that figure, naturally.

Seto's sharp five senses... especially making the most of things like hearing, smell, and sight, but I still can't find Ambris.

(Because it looks like a body made of fog, I don't think there is any noise to move around, and I don't think it smells more than it is made of fog as well. For example, is visual the most useful thing? It hurts not to be able to use a corner-leveled sense of smell)

However, even if it's fog, it doesn't necessarily have any odor, so the thought of maybe...... is on Ray.

"Gru!"

I know you didn't feel Ray's thoughts like that, but Seto accidentally rattles his throat.

What? and Ray following Seto's gaze sees a swarm of cobolts and goblins moving side by side amicably.

"That's a pain in the ass. After all, even the herds of different monsters are starting to cooperate with each other. I wish I could have gotten some information around here."

According to what Marina told me, there was no information that monsters of different races were cooperating with each other in a disturbance that occurred three hundred years ago in the Valley of Hundreds of Ghosts of the Bestian Empire.

Is that because there wasn't actually such a fact, or was it not on the record at the time, even if such a thing happened?

But Ray immediately shakes his head to the side to deny the latter's opinion.

Three hundred years would be a long time for humans.

But for the long-lived species, starting with the elves, it felt like a while ago.

If so, it is not surprising that there is any information left about the Valley of Hundreds of Ghosts, or anyone who remembers it directly.

(It may be possible that Elf was not in the Valley of Hundreds of Ghosts at the time...? Nothing. The Bestian Empire doesn't exclude elves and beasts.)

For example, when Ray went to the Vestian Empire to participate in a martial arts tournament held in the Vestian Empire, he saw a lot of beasts, and so did elves.

In the first place, Ray is fighting a rank A adventurer and an alias elf adventurer in the main battle of the Martial Arts Games.

If it were a country where elves and beasts would be excluded, that would not have happened.

But there was a narrow view of Ray around here.

It is quite true that it is discriminated against in the countryside, even if it does not discriminate against elves and beasts in the vicinity of the capital.

The land of the Bestian Empire is vast and customs vary from place to place.

Given the formation of a country that has invaded and swallowed one small surrounding country after another, it would be natural for customs to vary from region to region.

"Ray, what are you going to do?

Vihera hanging on Seto's forefoot asks.

Ray's response to that was terribly short and then concise.

"Burn"

Fortunately, there are no monsters around, other than goblins and cobolts, like adventurers, merchants and travelers.

The place where the flock of monsters is walking is also surrounded by meadows, with few burning trees.

Having so determined, Ray takes the death size out of the mistering and casts a spell.

"O flame, using my magic as a source of strength, an arrow that burns everything down, like rain, like a storm, constantly pouring down"

The spell is a further enhancement of what Ray used before.

There are about fifty flaming arrows that would otherwise be produced, but there are nearly five hundred flaming arrows currently floating around Ray.

Countless arrows of flames floating around Seto, Ray, and Vihera expose their burning fangs by ray activating magic.

"Downpouring Flame Arrows!

Death sizes are swung down with those words, and the arrows of flames pour straight down to the ground as Ray instructs.

Just flying the usual height of an altitude of one hundred meters, the goblins and cobolts travelling above the ground were unaware of what the Rays were like above.

It is also significant that the summer sun was once in the sky and missed the brightness of the arrows of the flames.

I know this would have been different if you were an individual with the ability to feel magic, but only regular goblins and cobolts are here with raw hate.

Not very much, but I don't see an individual with that ability.

As a result, Goblin and Kobolt were ambushed without even being able to defend themselves against the countless arrows of flames pouring from above.

Goblins and cobolts pierced by flaming arrows and one body after another burning.

Still, some individuals who were lucky did not use their allies as shields or accidental flame arrows came down.

But... such good luck turns into despair in the next moment.

"O flame, thy power is mine. Burn your magic and burn your enemies as I will. Your properties are extended burning, fire. My magic as water, more fire."

Along with casting a spell, a fireball was created around Ray.

That number, ten.

Each and every one emits a powerful heat, and a fireball with enough heat to think that if you do poorly, you will be burned just to get close without touching it.

"Ten Fireballs"

The ten fireballs descend to the ground like a waste with magical activation.

Goblins and cobolts, who had managed to survive due to the arrows of the flames, are also instantly engulfed in flames by fire balls coming down from above, burning their entire bodies alive.

Also, the fireball that landed on the ground explodes naturally, spreading blast flames all around it.

Goblins and cobolts, which were damaged by flaming arrows but were nevertheless injured without losing their lives, were also burned by the blast.

A few minutes...... no, it was actually about a minute of attack, but that alone wipes out the goblin and cobolt herd, the herd of over a hundred monsters.

That was done by Ray, who was flying across Seto.

They didn't even go down to the ground and burned down a bunch of monsters just as easily as they deserved to be called a single effort.

There is no doubt that for the attacked goblins and cobolts, what happened was a completely incomprehensible event.

"Are you good with materials or something?

"Both the Goblin Leader and the Kobolt Leader already have the Demon Stone. Later, we'll get demon stones and crusade proof sites to sell... but we won't make any money for the hassle. Besides, they burn demon stones and stuff."

All that remains on the ground are the corpses of goblins and cobolts burned and turned into charcoal.

You're lucky, there will also be about a few individuals who still survive, but that was sure to cost you your life within a short distance, too.

(No, they burned most of my body, and I still survived, so can't you say I'm lucky?

Unless you have a means like potion or healing magic, but there's no way that goblins or cobolts have such things.

This means that currently surviving goblins and cobolts will suffer through to the point of death.

There may also be adventurers coming from afar who saw the present sight before it, or monsters and beasts may strike dying goblins and cobolts as bait.

If you think about it that way, you wouldn't be very, but you wouldn't be lucky.

"Anyway, what we're gonna do today is we're not gonna take down a bunch of monsters, we're gonna find Ambris."

With that said, naturally Ray was sure to take the action of getting that demonic stone if there was an unknown monster.

Conversely, it also means that you don't particularly want the demon stones of the monsters you've already defeated.

"Right.... whether or not we catch it"

I guess you remembered what Ray was saying yesterday. Vihera whines small.

Those who have suffered damage in this case, although not many, still undoubtedly exist.

For such people, the presence of Ambris, which caused the creation of large numbers of flocks, is never acceptable.

If Ray really imitates that, he's likely to be blamed by those around him.

As for Vihela, I didn't really want to see such a sight.

(Besides, there's no way Ray's going to stay doing something. Because if something is done, I will definitely fight back)

Worst of all, there's a chance you won't be able to stay in the guild.

With that in mind, I honestly want Ray to give up on the capture of Ambris.

"... and you're not there. If it's really black fog, if it's flying in the sky, it's pretty much something you'd know."

"Really? But if you're still flying, if you're in the woods or something... on the contrary, if you're lost in the meadows, it's gonna be hard to find right away"

Coming out of Vihella's mouth was an indisputable fact.

It can be expected that it will take any form more than being a foggy opponent.

That's what it's hard to find in Ceto, too, if you're traveling in a way that sews the grass that's growing on the ground.

Because no matter how good your eyes are, it doesn't make sense if you can't see them in the first place.

"I wish I was emitting magic..."

Ray squeaks smudgingly.

Ambris is a being created by a magical anomaly.

Beyond that, I initially wondered if anyone with the ability to sense magic would be able to discover it any time soon.

However, that opinion, which was put to his mouth by Ray's thought, is lightly dismissed by Vihera.

Even when I woke up three hundred years ago in the Valley of Hundreds of Ghosts, naturally those who figured out how Ambris was born were created from magical anomalies, so if you are capable of feeling magic, you can find it immediately...

Few originally possessed the ability of that hand, but still could not be left alone given the nature of Ambris to produce one superior species after another, and many were gathered with the ability to feel the magic.

However... no matter how they were used, they couldn't find Ambris.

Produced from a magical anomaly, but late, a high degree of covert ability.

Because of that, finding Ambris is extremely difficult.

I have to check directly with my eyes, but the body is made of fog.

For example, it is very difficult to find it.

"Well, I wonder what's really going on"

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto rattles his throat as he agrees with Ray's words, but it would be Seto more annoying than Ray to find Ambris in one way or another.

Because the protagonist of this quest is only Seto, who has a sharp sense of five and wings.

"Ah, Ray. Look over there."

Turning his gaze to the ground on the words of Vihera who told him so, he looked familiar... there were too many threesomes.

I guess I couldn't find Seto from the other side more than flying at an altitude of 100m... for some reason one of those three starts looking around as if he felt something unexpectedly.

And when the person, who had been looking around for about ten seconds, accidentally turned his gaze over the sky, he firmly found Ceto, who should only look at the bean grain size from its height, waved loudly.

"... what do you do?

"You're gonna have to go. Besides, I want information.... Nevertheless, Vihera has often been able to identify Mileyne and the others from this distance."

Yes, waving to the Rays on the ground... more precisely to Seto was Mileyne, who led the rank C party scorching wind.

"I'm using magic to enhance my vision. I've been practicing lately."

"If we're going to use magic to strengthen, shouldn't we be strengthening ourselves or something?

Vihera fights in combat, so wouldn't physical enhancement be better than vision anyway? That's what I told Ray, but Vihera shook her neck to the side... remembering that she was hanging on Seto's forefoot and opening her mouth.

"Visual enhancement alone is pretty tricky. I haven't been able to strengthen myself yet. First, we're practicing so we can enhance it in order from five senses."

Ray trains two spear streams, and at the same time Ceto and Death Size are enhanced by taking in demonic stones.

Vihera, who preferred to fight, did not want her to be left behind by the man she loved.

For this reason, we have developed skills like immersion claws, and now we drill ourselves to move further ahead of them.

But there's no reason why Ray shouldn't leave me behind.

As a woman's will... I only wanted Ray to see what was good about him if he could.

And it turns out, Ray is convinced without any particular doubt about Vihera's words.

"I see. So let's just... get off the ground. If we ignore Mileyne like this, we'll have a lot of trouble the next time we meet."

"I guess."

Vihera also knows how much Mireine has feelings for Seto.

Given Mileyne's character like that, I had to agree with Ray's words with a grin.
