Legend

"Ha, ha, ha..."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Inside the room, only such rough breathing sounded.

Ray, who unlocked the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, other than that, it is the sound of breathing flowing from the mouth of Elk and Ara, and Elaine, who is similarly in the hands of Mirage in a remote place, is breathless because of the use of extreme magic.

Marina and Minn were gazing at the silver lion who was just falling into the floor speechless.

Death Struggle. That's exactly what you deserve to call it, and even for Min, who has fought many powerful enemies as a Rank A party, and Marina, who has fought many battles in her long adventurer life, this was the first time this was ever born.

Still, they beat the Rank S Monster.

That's how I recognize it. No, there's joy in my body... and it boils down to the joy of even saying it's explosive.

Perhaps now we can regain the consciousness of Vihera and Rodos.

It would also be an unmistakable fact that I had such thoughts.

"Ha..."

Ray, whose breath is finally calming down, turns his gaze around as he leans against the body of the silver lion he has just defeated.

Behind it lies the silver body.

Only a silver lion with a giant six metres in length, the body of a silver lion pressing his back while sitting on the floor even feels like a wall to Ray.

Moving his gaze slightly, the next thing he saw was the face of a silver lion.

The Death Size pattern is extended from the mouth, and the Dusk Spear pattern is extended from the eyeball.

I wonder if that giant face is still alive. I had that thought in Ray.

But from the eye where the spear of dusk is piercing, and from the other safe eye is a tear of blood, and from the mouth the tongue falls zero to the floor.

Seeing that, it would be an obvious fact that the silver lion is dead.

"Ouch!

Ray was finally convinced when he saw his head that the silver lion was dead, but I guess that interrupted his concentration.

At the same time, the whole body complains of pain.

There were also numerous wounds on his face and head, and the blood flowing from his forehead flowed into his right eye to dye his vision bright red.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto worried about Ray's painful voice like that, okay? and he looks at me, but Seto can't beat Ray... no, compared to Ray wearing a dragon robe, Seto's body has more than one slash wound on it than Ray.

The last action carried out by a silver lion, arguably a junction with a tail.

It's an injury I sustained when I went in there to help Ray.

Seto sounds his throat and looks at Ray worryingly when he says he has more scratches and blood than Ray.

"'Cause it's okay. This way, the silver lion could also be defeated.... but honestly, you've never been hurt so far in a fight."

There are numerous fights Ray has been through.

That's the difference between a normal adventurer and a dense battle.

Still, Ray's injuries in previous fights are rare.

The biggest injury would have been the Rank S adventurer who fought in the civil unrest of the Bestian Empire, the battle against immovable noise.

(Rank S Adventurer and Rank S Monster...... Could it have been that time if Noise was seriously fighting me, he would have been as injured as he is now? No, it's a victory this time with a bunch of backup. I don't know what would have happened if I had fought for real)

Ray gazed at the silver lion while enduring the pain of the wound, but the idea was slightly different.

Even if it is grouped together in a bracket called Rank S, it is assumed to be Rank S, precisely because of its existence above Rank A.

That's the same for both adventurers and monsters, and if you're a weak monster in Rank S, there's a chance that even a Rank A adventurer can win, and a powerful Rank S monster can't win with a hundred Rank A adventurers.

Even the same Rank S monster makes that much difference.

In the meantime, the Silver Lion had no choice but to knock down only those monsters who excelled in defense from their body hair among Rank S monsters.

Especially since most of the methods of attack that Ray specializes in, such as slashing and spiking, are rendered powerless, he was also a very incompatible opponent.

Still, I'd say it was lucky for the Rays that they were just excellent in defense and not that aggressive.... Still, Ray has suffered enough injuries to say it's the first time since he came to Elgin.

"Ray, are you okay!

"Ray, it's okay!?

Two Elaine and Marina run closer to Ray, leaning against the silver lion's body.

And Ray's face is badly swollen, and when he sees blood flowing from many places and one eye blocked with blood, he rushes outside the room.

Take the potion that was placed there...

"Mr. Elaine? Mari...... and the Alliance Master?

Suddenly such a voice was hung.

Naturally, Elaine and the others understood that this was a dungeon, but they still didn't realize the Lord of that voice because they were in a hurry to treat Ray a little sooner.

Turning to those who heard voices, it was one of Johanna's people there.

"Why are you here?

"No, I'm here to find out what happened because I can no longer hear the silver lion I just heard."

To Marina's words, the man answers that briefly.

To be honest, I never wanted to get anywhere near where there might be a Rank S monster.

But still, if the silver lion was defeated, he decided early on that he should take Vihera and Rodos, and a man came to see how it went.

of such a man... and you would have instructed the man. You know how Johanna feels, Elaine and Marina exhale just a little relief.

At the same time, he calms down from a state of confusion watching Ray full of blood, nodding face-to-face with each other, and the marina opens her mouth to the man.

"Yes, you've made me worry. But don't worry. Because I've already defeated the Silver Lion."

"Huh!?... I knew it. I thought that was the case when the two of you were out like this. There's a body over there, too.... and yet, really... that's Captain Ray"

I guess it was because of the surprise.

I don't even realize I'm talking to the captain about Ray like I used to, and I glance at the entrance to the room where there would have been a silver lion.

"It's just that a lot of people got a little hurt. We're treating you, so can you bring Vihella and Rhodos in the meantime?

"Huh? Oh, yes! I'll bring them right in!

Nodding at the marina's words, the man hurries back to the one who came.

Dropping off behind that, Elaine and Marina return to the room with a highly effective potion in their hands.

"What do you say when you come to pick up the potion like this, but when you think about it, shouldn't you have used the potion inside Ray's item box?

"I guess that means we were confused, too. Anyway, let's go back to Ray's. I'm here at the corner, so you'll need to take the potion."

It doesn't bother Marina to leave super valuable items outside the room, especially world tree potions.

Of course I don't expect Johanna and the others to steal it, but someone else... because if there were adventurers who came to this bottom level for any reason, I would have been anxious to take those potions on the floor with me this lucky.

(In that sense, it must have been nice to be able to retrieve the potion so quickly after the battle)

With that in mind, I go into a room with a silver lion.

That's how, once again, I keep an eye on the enormity of the silver lion.

Compared to the biggest ceto among us, it's obviously not the same size.

I can only say that Ray's figure leaning against the body of such a silver lion is small in contrast to the giant of a silver lion.

(Still... Without Ray, I couldn't have defeated the Silver Lion first. That's true.)

Our support was definitely effective in defeating Silver Lions, such as Elk and Ara.

But... if Ray and Seto were to fight the Silver Lion in the absence of him and ask him if he could have won... Marina would shake her neck to the side.

In fact, it was only Ray who took the Silver Lion's life at the end.

He was a silver lion with body hair that had strong defenses against both magic and physical attacks, but his eyeballs and mouth didn't have as strong defenses as his body hair.

... Still, I had a degree of defense that wouldn't hurt Ray at all if he stuck a deep flame to his face.

Either way, you can't normally imitate a weapon sticking into the mouth of a silver lion like that.

Or perhaps it could have been done if it had been elk, but unfortunately in the thunder god axe it would have burned somewhat through the mouth of the silver lion and ended to the point of slashing and tearing.

Because it is a huge weapon with a pattern length of two meters and a blade length of about one meter, Death Size... and because of the dusk spear that pierced the eyeball, it was possible to destroy the silver lion's brain.

Not many people have that many long patterned weapons.

(Oh, but could Elaine have worked it out?

The marina grins as she recalls Mirage's incredible power at the end of the battle.

If you were a whipped Mirage fighter... and you were releasing that powerful blow, maybe Elaine could have defeated the Silver Lion.

It was a marina who only glanced at Elaine next to herself for a moment, but now she decides that it's better to treat Ray first anyway.

"Ray, the... are you okay?

"Uh... well, it's not as bad a wound as it looks. No, of course it hurts. I'm not dying any time soon, so I'm fine."

My face is stained bright red with myself and... and above all with the blood of a silver lion.

That's what it's not strange to graduate if those who don't know anything see Ray now.

"First of all, you have to wash the blood out of your face even if you use potions.... will you give me a running water dagger?

"Oh."

As the saying goes, I don't suppose Ray's wounds are as bad as they look.

It seems true that it is not so much that you cannot move your body as little, and take the running water dagger out of the mysteries.

... but there was definitely a blunt pain in the interior of my body, and I had a slight frown on it.

Magic runs through the running water dagger removed by the marina to produce water, wetting the cloth removed by Elaine and wiping Ray's face.

Most of the blood that covered Ray's face disappeared lightly if wiped with a wet cloth.

Guess it hasn't affected me since I defeated the Silver Lion yet.

But at the same time, even if you wipe the blood, it can flow from the wound again.

Especially the wound on the forehead is quite deep and there is no way the blood will stop.

"That's a silver lion's fang wound."

It was a smudging ray, but was it chewed through the head if one step wrong, or had the eyeballs choosen by the fangs?

If I did poorly... no, I could have suffered a wound that could be life-threatening without having to do poorly.

"Not at all... just a lame imitation..."

Smudging and squeaking, Elaine gently wipes the wound and hangs the potion.

Fortunately, the wound itself was quite profound, but the wound disappears without leaving any particular marks.

If it was a cheap potion, it might have left scars, but Elaine didn't even use the world tree potion now...... but it was a pretty fancy potion.

Wipe the wound on your face, then hang the potion there and erase the wound.

Fortunately, most of the wounds on the face are put on by the tail of a silver lion, not that deep.

Elaine and Marina exhale in relief for not leaving a scar on Ray's face.

The potion brought by those two will be used in other ways.

Ara goes to Ceto, Min goes to Elk, etc.

Ara, who uses potions on Ceto, is also somewhat wounded, but luckily, it wasn't until later in the day that Ara joined the fight.

Thanks to this, no one else has been hurt.

Not unharmed, of course. Still, the wound is almost healed just by lightly hanging the potion.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

The next serious injury to Ray was definitely Seto.

For a large body, several wounds have been inflicted on the body by a silver lion's tail attack.

Still, a tail attack is basically a whip-like attack, not a deep wound.

Such a wound existed in a cup of body Ceto, but it did not look particularly pleasant.

I guess it's because this neighborhood is a high-ranking monster called Griffon.

Even in that condition, it still feels good to hang the potion and the wound heals.

Seto sounds his throat joyfully...

"Awwwwwwwwwwwww! Seto, you're not scratched!

Such a screaming voice echoed all around him.
