It was in the woods where the snow was falling, but thanks to those who moved forward more than the Rays, the snow has been trampled to some extent.
In that, the Rays go straight ahead.
But in that, Ray accidentally opens his mouth.
"Hey, if we keep going, we'll run into other adventurers, won't we?
That's not so much of an issue as it would normally be.
But today's Rays came to the woods to see if they could work together to organize a party… or to find out what the problem was.
If I could, I would not have wanted such an act to be shown to anyone else.
It is also possible that they will spot weaknesses in their collaboration, and this party has attracted attention in many ways.
Probably fine, but maybe something will go astray and strike me.
There was an attractive element at this party that just wasn't strange to think about.
Most of all, if anyone looks at Seto and imitates him like that, many of them will lean their necks.
But it also made sense in Ray's words, because it's true that less is better if it's still less likely to be dangerous.
Not to mention that, normally, there's snow and it's hard to walk, so it wasn't weird to think about moving on to a place that's being stepped on, but in this case the marina... has an exceptional user of spiritual magic.
If the conditions were so far in place, I didn't even have to bother walking down the path others had taken.
"Well, I think Ray's right. Party leader's opinion. And anyway, I want to fight healthy monsters, not tired or injured monsters fighting other adventurers."
"... no, I haven't officially partied yet"
While convinced by the Vihera-like language, Ray tells him that at first.
"Oh, we're not officially partying, but we've already decided to have a party with this member, haven't we? Then I don't think there's anything wrong with that."
Marina also tells him so, following Vihera...... Ray, with his gaze on the other, sees Bühne nodding there as well.
"Gru."
In the meantime, only Seto rattles to comfort Ray.
Ray turns his gaze and nods again at the marina as he gently strokes Seto, who comforts him.
Even if I didn't put it into words, I guess I figured out what Ray was trying to say. The marina squeaks the spell small...... then the snow that had accumulated to branch from where it had been going.
"It's convenient."
It was Vihera who squeaks with smudge, but that seems to agree with Ray and Buune, too, and snorts.
In fact, the problem, the spiritual magic used by the marina, was extremely applied.
Like when we had a party at the Marina Mansion, the snow left undissolved and turned the surrounding area into about spring temperatures, or retreating fresh snow that hasn't been trampled and vandalized in this way into the road.
Sometimes the marina cleans the mansion with spiritual magic, so you can easily tell how much it is.
Even less is not comparable in the sense of convenience when it comes to the magic of most rays of flames used to attack.
... In Ray's case, the kinds of tools necessary for life are gathered in mystering, so even without spiritual magic, it can be anything.
However, that's only what I can do because I'm Ray with mystering and tons of magic items and a lot of unused money, and normally I can't imitate that.
The spiritual magic used primarily by dark elves and elves clearly transcends the magic used by man in the sense of freedom.
(More spiritual magic users make it a lot more convenient... Few guys can use spiritual magic in humans. even regular wizards, even though they are few)
Ray thinks about it as he checks his surroundings.
There are so many adventurers gathering in Gilm that the wizard is quite as a result.
But if you ask me how many spiritual wizards there are in there... Ray couldn't answer clearly either.
Ray's lack of familiarity with other adventurers is also relevant there.
"Grr!"
Walking in the woods, Seto, who was inadvertently next to Ray, squeaks sharply.
Seto's gaze is pointed just ahead of where the Rays are going.
Those who do not understand the meaning of the ringing are not present here.
Set up the weapons each had in his hands and line up.
First, Marina, who was at the beginning using spiritual magic, rear, and Vihera and Ray, who were behind it, front. And Bühne is in the rear guard as an escort to the marina.
This is the basic queue for this party.
Ray and Vihera, who are good fighters, step forward and fly long needles as the Marina covers and Bühne guards the Marina.
It should be noted that Seto, who can fly in the sky, is basically a guerrilla.
It was a decision that I should let it go free rather than fit into the mold because it was a non-standard force called Griffon.
...... although it was an assault because Seto has just the head to understand the words.
"No way, you didn't expect a monster to come out of the other side"
Sometimes being held in the hands of Ray, who shrugs so much, means that there are trees growing around him, only one spear of dusk.
I usually fight with a two-spear stream, but a death size that arcs heavily in a place like this is very hard to use.
In addition, fighting alongside Vihela meant that a death size with a wide range of attacks could not be a weapon suitable for this occasion.
Usually, a monster who senses Seto's presence doesn't show up from himself so easily.
That's why the Rays move themselves around and look for monsters... that's how I was thinking, but this time they show up from the other side.
(Could it be goblin...... no, as far as Ceto is concerned, isn't it)
Speaking of whom Seto is fine and attacking, there is a strong image of goblins in the rays.
That's not why I think it's unfounded, either, because I've seen Goblin attack Seto more than once.
And when you can show off Seto's power, you run away while you see it... you know, the sight.
But from what Ray has seen, Seto looks different.
If goblins are opponents, it won't mean Seto will be more or less alert.
"Shaaaaaaaaaa!"
The only thing that appeared with such a threatening voice was the lizard at first glance.
Ray thought it was a dragon for a moment because of the lizard, but it's a normal lizard with no wings.
... except that if you include it one metre in height and to the tail, you can call that size nearly two metres in length lizard.
And the color is not lizard-like green, but pure white like fresh snow.
The figure only looks like a lizard, but otherwise it was clearly a substitute for something other than a lizard.
In an attempt to remember the name of that monster, Ray was trying to remember the memory of when he read the Monster Dictionary, but there are those who opened their mouths before that.
"Snow salamander!? Why are you in a place like this!?
It was Marina who shouted in amazement.
Snow Salamander opens his mouth, as he responded to that cry.
"Shaaaaaaaa!"
With the shouting, a blizzard is thrown out of the mouth with many short fangs.
"Careful, it's a blizzard brace!
At the same time you can hear Marina, Ray and Vihera split left and right.
There was also an option to fly backwards, because I didn't know what the range of the braces was.
But Snow Salamander moves his neck to chase Ray while he spits his blizzard braces.
"Chi!
I can barely feel the cold thanks to the dragon robe.
But the only thing you can prevent with a dragon robe is the cold.
Nothing can be done until the momentum caused by Blizzard Brace hitting him, and Ray is blown out of the air.
Even though I think about using Slapenil shoes for a moment, I immediately recall that the shoes now were not Slapenil shoes, but the kind that adventurers would normally wear.
Still landing on the snow while being blown up in the air but still managing to balance.
"Shah!?
Almost at the same time Ray lands on the ground, a scream rises from Snow Salamander's mouth instead of Blizzard braces.
Ray's gaze at Snow Salamander as he rebuilt his attitude was what Vihera looked like rapidly packing his way in with Snow Salamander with several arrows poking at his body and screaming.
"Ahhh!
A swinging fist hits Snow Salamander's body straight.
A fist penetrated the white body… its power caused Snow Salamander's body to blow for several meters directly next to it.
"Shaaaaaaaaaa!"
Another different scream than the one that came out of my mouth earlier.
Ray also knows exactly what that scream means.
I guess Vihella's blow did more damage than the attack the arrow pierced.
Vihera is also just a little surprised that her blow has shown so much power.
I waved my fist, but now I didn't use the immersive claw of my specialty, nor was it a blow that created magic claws in my armor.
Purely because it was a blow by the fist.
But while it is, Vihella's blow was undoubtedly a more powerful blow than ever.
Vihera also understands, as a matter of course, what it is caused by.
It is due to a ritual performed using the heart of a silver lion.
I didn't imitate that much in my combat training with Büne, but given the blow I'm getting, I'd say that was the right thing to do.
"Shah...... shah aah!
Still, Snow Salamander does not get knocked down as it is, but again releases a blizzard brace toward Ray, who was nearby.
"Let it!
The moment he sees the blizzard brace released against him, Ray turns the spear of dusk in front of him as he sheds his magic.
Magic dusk spears prevent blizzard braces altogether.
"Shah!?
Even for Snow Salamander, I guess that was totally unexpected. Stop the Blizzard brace and raise your voice of surprise in unexpected ways...
"Mmm."
A dagger made of silver lion material by Büne, stuffed with distance at once in that gap...... waves a white cloud.
White as the name suggests...... The pure white blade lightly slashes and rips Snow Salamander's neck and draws several muscles of red on the fresh snow that no one has yet stepped on the ground.
Snow Salamander is originally a Rank B monster.
Its strength is equivalent to oak king and goblinking, and it has just the power to be ready for total annihilation in about rank c party.
I mean, not very much, but he wasn't the one who could do something with Bühne.
In fact, if Beaune was the only one who ran into Snow Salamander, he wouldn't have won first.
I understand that, too, Beaune. Definitely had to have withdrawn.
However... there are white clouds made of Rank S monster material in Bühne today.
The combat power of the person is never high in itself, but it was a first-class product if you think only of the power of that weapon.
That's enough to scratch the body of a Rank A monster… in some cases.
... Most of all, the fact that you can scratch and hit an attack seems similar and completely different.
This time Bühne was able to slash and tear Snow Salamander's neck, probably because of the marina arrows and the blow from Vihera that had slowed Snow Salamander's movement and the consternation that he had been stopped from Blizzard braces.
And the spiritual magic of the marina increased Beaune's speed of travel more than usual, and he did his best to pack the distance on it, flashing the white clouds.
So far, we've finally been able to strike, so it's not Dada to be a Rank B monster.
"Mmm!"
It was Beaune, who slashed Snow Salamander's neck, but jumps back on the spot all at once without alarm.
There was also an aid by the spiritual magic of the marina, and the movement was very smooth.
But... that's it, one hair at a time.
Too many Snow Salamander fangs with their neck muscles slashed and torn through the place where Bühne's face was until a moment ago.
If Bühne had been slightly delayed in flying away... or without the aid of Spirit Magic, Bühne's face would have been chopped a thousand times by Snow Salamander.
The ferocity does not subside, despite the fatal wound of being slashed and torn through the neck muscle.
And then he opened his mouth again and tried to chase it to Bühne... a spear of dusk with magic running through his open mouth.
