Ray, hearing Seto squeal, was running toward the one whose voice he spoke with Vihera.
It was Vihera, who ran out a little behind Ray, but sometimes Ray was slowing down, and he catches up quickly.
"The sound of Seto earlier, what do you think? Is it a monster after all?
Ray nods back at Vihera as she runs and asks.
"From that ringing, I'm probably pretty sure it's a monster. However, if it's normal for a monster to come out, Seto should just clean it up himself."
Vihera, who knows the strength of Seto, naturally nods back.
He uses a wide variety of skills and then has high physical abilities as a griffon. It also has magic items such as increasing physical abilities and disabling enemy flying tools even once.
It was also naturally possible to fly in the sky, beyond being a griffon.
The flock of monsters capable of flying in the air has not been confirmed in this case.
That would also be natural, since the subracial monsters originally make their herds by the leader species.
(No, can Harpy also be described as a sub-race for once?
Vihera runs with that in mind, eventually she sees Seto at the end of her gaze.
"Seto, what's wrong!?
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's call, Seto turns his gaze toward a tree a little further away.
Following that gaze, Ray and Vihera find the figure of Warwolf wrapped in black mist and understand why Seto made that kind of noise.
A grin comes to Ray's mouth when he sees Warwolf wrapping a black mist around his body.
Yes, it was the same goblin that evolved into a leader species when I first saw Ambris in the sense that it was wrapped in black fog.
However... the black fog that is wrapped around it is so abundant that it cannot be compared to goblins. If you look at Warwolf now, you can tell right away that the black fog that the previous goblins wore was like the remnants of Ambris.
And most importantly, Ray understood that the black fog was Ambris the moment he saw it.
There is no clear reason.
Still, Ray understood instinctively, not rationally, that it was Ambris who was with Warwolf.
"I didn't know we could find it twice in a row. It was totally unexpected.... What do you think? You think this is a coincidence?
"Coincidence, isn't it? In the first place, we're only as good as any other adventurer with Seto in the search range.... than that, what do we do?
Ray opens his mouth with a grin to Vihera, who asks as she looks at Warwolf and Ambris.
"You've made up your mind. If we don't take this guy down, this mess won't go away. We met here at the corner, so naturally we'll stay here."
In this case, I guess I was lucky that Ambris had no self.
This sight, which is evolving Warwolf into a leader species, is not something that normally can be shown to humans.
It doesn't have to evolve on the spot, as it did in Goblin.
I can get all kinds of information just by looking at this sight.
It was supposed to be something to avoid for Ambris.
It's a big deal that Ambris is said to be a troublesome being because its ecology is a mystery.
Because the unknown can be a source of fear for humans.
It's only detrimental to Ambris that that unknown can be figured out at all.
For the most part, that's only a decision if you have yourself.
For an unselfish Ambris, I guess it's only something to do that just means turning a subhuman monster into a leader species.
This time, that was the form of work that worked in favor of the Rays.
Because I don't have the self, I don't run away from the spot even in front of such beings as Ray and Vihera, who are hostile to me.
(No, maybe you can't move when you're trying to be a leader species? Anyway, I don't know exactly because it's stuck in Warwolf, but like smaller than before?
While removing Death Size and Dusk Spears from Mystering, Ray remains still to confirm the appearance of Warwolf and Ambris.
Again, no matter if Ray and Vihella are on their side, and if Ray goes into a combat posture with Death Size and Dusk Spears, Ambris won't move.
It also feels smaller in Ray's eyes than Ambris has seen before.
But it's not surprising to think that it might be due to being stuck with Warwolf, or that it might be made smaller by evolving into a leader species.
"... Vihera, I think you'll be fine..."
Vihera also asks how Ray intends to defeat Ambris in advance.
I wasn't going to say anything back to Ray's words than that.
With Seto, take a distance from Ray.
It would also be significant that Vihera heard Ray so easily that Ambris still had no self and did not understand the very act of fighting.
All Ambris can do is turn a subhuman monster into a leader species.
Nothing else can be done.
Nevertheless, no one has ever been able to hurt Ambris because his physical attacks are null and void and he has a powerful magical defense because of his presence created from a magical anomaly.
But... there was Ray here now.
Ray's immense magic is compressed and concentrated.
Eventually, the magic of Ray's flaming attributes is so concentrated that it can be seen… Red magic is intertwined that it can now be visualized throughout Ray's body.
Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor. It was Ray's strongest skill in the current situation, and for Ray, who had enormous magic, it was a skill that allowed him to make the most of that magic.
Wrapped in a black fog, Warwolf and a red magic concentrated enough to be visualized.
At first glance, one and one also seem very similar.
But its essence was completely different.
Even in front of Ray with the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, the guiding warwolf... and Ambris has no way of moving at all.
I'm just giving myself up to the black fog on Ambris' body near the tree.
"I wish I could get away."
Ray turned his gaze toward the dusk spear he was holding in his left hand, but the spear, which is no less profound than the red magic that is covering Ray's body, has no particular discomfort.
If it were a regular magic item, it wouldn't be strange if things like breaking, crushing, or melting could not withstand Ray's immense magic... The spear of dusk didn't make any difference, even if it received Ray's magic in the state that activated the Flaming Emperor's red armor.
(I knew this spear would be nice)
Ray shrugs inside as he clenches the pattern of a dusk spear made from a wide variety of materials he collects.
In the current situation where the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor was used, we could undoubtedly defeat Ambris.
Not to mention that Warwolf, who is about to be made a leader species by Ambris, will not even be his opponent.
Put up a weapon with both hands, Ray confirms that Vihela and Seto have gone down to a safe place, and then, once again, when he turns his gaze to Ambris, he moves forward at once.
Physical abilities enhanced by the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor instantly zero the distance that was between Ray and Ambris.
Despite the imminent existence of an attack on himself, Ambris remains entangled in Warwolf without any reaction.
"Go away."
Death size wielded with short words.
The death blow waved with his right hand easily severed Warwolf's torso, while the dusk spear of his left hand released crushed Warwolf's head.
Brain pulp, blood, bones, meat, and eyeballs are scattered all over the surrounding earth, and Warwolf naturally travels the path to death.
Warwolf's body, which lost its head and was cut in two upper and lower torso, fell to the ground... only Ambris will remain on the spot.
But that gave Ray some confusion.
The blow now unleashed using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor undoubtedly hit both the Warwolves on Ambris.
In other words, for Ambris, he would have been broken through and damaged by the body of black fog by boasting about his magical defenses - although he doesn't have the self to just brag about them.
Despite that situation, Ambris remains in the air.
It's as if Warwolf's body is still there.
What is it?
There was a certainty in Ray that his blow couldn't have worked.
Even so, Ambris has no way of moving at all.
I doubt that...... at the next moment Ambris will gradually fade away and eventually disappear.
The time it took to disappear after it started to thin is less than five seconds.
... but it's been almost a minute since I defeated Warwolf.
"Er... eh? Is that it? Did you take it down? Did you get away? Which one?"
Ray groans in doubt at Ambris, who disappeared lightly in his own blow.
Definitely finished. Is it so easy for Ambris to get hit at the same time that you have those thoughts? There is also the question.
"I don't know if you knocked him down.... there's no black fog anywhere."
"Right?
While agreeing with Vihera's words, Ray still twists his neck in some unnatural way.
(Killed? No, Ambris isn't a creature, and is it right that he broke it, vanished it, rather than killed it? Whatever the reason, it's true he's gone... did this really work out?
There have been many casualties in this disturbance, and there have been more injuries than that.
And in its current progression, many adventurers were crusading a herd of monsters or searching for the figure of Ambris who caused it.
That's all the commotion, can we solve it so lightly with Ray's unleashed blow...
I still had that question in Ray.
Vihera opens her mouth to calm down at how Ray looks like that.
"I didn't expect it to end so lightly either, but it's true that you defeated Ambris, shouldn't you report it to the guild?
"... do you? Well, you are. It's true that Ambris disappeared, and you should report it."
There were many parts of it that didn't fall through, but it was still necessary to report the matter more than defeating Ambris.
Because if this is going to end the commotion, it will be a great pleasure for the inhabitants of the Guild.
But... Still, some of the rays remain questionable.
I really don't feel like this is the end of it.
It's like there's still some kind of a ripple...... I have that thought.
(But maybe it's more my fault than Ambris is extinguishing?
While in doubt, there is no clear evidence.
I'm just saying that the only thing that's completely in Ray is that this matter hasn't been solved yet.
More than that, maybe it's really my fault.
(When I reported it, should I say maybe it's not over yet?... Nevertheless, this should be the end of it than Ambris disappeared)
Unlock the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor while in doubt, the corpse of Warwolf rolling on the ground...... no, store Warwolf's corpse in mystering about to become a Warwolf leader.
I might find something out about Ambris, not as a material. Because of that thought.
(Feels like I saw it before I knocked it down, it didn't seem any different than normal warwolf though)
Though I think so, it's a corpse with a torso cut up and down and a crushed head.
It would be difficult to think normally and look into the details in that state.
But I don't need to rush to find out if Ambris is really dead.
"Anyway, let's go back. It's not like he hasn't been attacked over there.... I defeated Ambris, so the leader species doesn't show up anymore..."
Around not saying enough not to show up, I guess Vihera also has something to think about Ray's perceived anxiety.
"Ah, Mr. Vihera! Mr. Ray! And Seto!
Seeing the Rays back, Meena speaks up happy.
On the side of Meena is also the figure of Wallein and Giacomo on horseback.
All three of them were showing relief and joy even though the Rays were back safely.
... Though the horse Wallein was on had stopped moving the moment he saw Seto.
"How was it? Um, what can I get you?
"Yeah, there was a warwolf lurking."
You decided you shouldn't talk about Ambris yet, and that's what Vihera returns the word.
If only I knew the Rays very well. You knew Seto couldn't have spoken like that in about one of the Warwolves.
But the three Warrains just met with the Rays today.
I don't know what's going on around there, and I'm convinced of Vihella's words.
... although Giacomo was the only one stretching under his nose at the same colourful figure of Vihera.
"Do you want to go to Gilm, then? I hope no more extra monsters come out."
Everyone nodded at Ray's words and headed to Gilm.... although it was hard to handle horses frightened by Seto.
