Legend

Time had returned, and Vihera had entered the forest of Trento with Seto, going straight through the forest at night.

Vihera, on Seto's back, slashes and rips open a vihera that comes at her using nails stretched from her armor.

It was a sword stretching to drop Vihera off Seto's back, but it could not prevent nails made of magic, and one after the other was slashed and torn apart.

"Nevertheless, I'm fine, but Seto... oh, sounds fine"

"Grrrrrrrr!"

It wasn't like Ray to be able to fully understand Seto's will. It was Vihera, but still I knew immediately what I wanted to say if I saw how Seto was doing now.

If you hear that boastful squeal, you'll know that even if it's not Vihella.

... Anyway, Seto originally runs fast and strong on top of that.

It is difficult for Seto to wrap himself around his hands and feet, and even if he happens to wrap himself around his hands and feet, Seto keeps running like he doesn't think he's wrapped his hands and feet around it, and the lightness of his feet is ripped off.

"If it's just a bunch of tweezers, it looks fine... right!

A wielding magic claw slashes and tears apart a being that has turned to itself just like the earlier one.

I suppose that was also a tsu with countless sharp thorns, to be more precise.

It would be possible to cut a thousand pieces without any particular problems.

But if it was a tsu with sharp thorns, it would have been different.

Wrapped around Seto's body, the thorn tries to get him to pierce his body.

Did you not like that, Seto also avoids Tsu's blow as he moves his body into small pieces.

It was Ceto, which was nearly three meters long, but still a griffon, so the instantaneous force and reflectance rate are very high.

Pushing straight into the back of the woods, quickly dodging the blows of the successive releases.

Seto aims at the huge flowers growing in the back of the woods.

It stands taller and higher than the trees growing in the Trento forest.

From that flower was seen the seeds being released towards the forests of Trento, which are occasionally battlefields, running through the woods but through the gaps of the branches.

I was also worried about Vihera about what effect the released seeds had... but still, no, that's why I was deciding I needed to do something about those flowers as soon as possible.

"Seto, I'm sorry, would you hurry up a little bit? I don't know how that species will affect the Rays."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

In the words of Vihera, leave it to me! and a ringing ceto.

Following that will, Seto's feet kicking the ground add even more strength.

... then pointed plants with tips grow from the ground, as if Seto had been waiting for the time to increase speed.

If Seto had traveled slowly, he would have been pierced behind his feet and torso by that plant, at a time that seemed so.

(Coincidence? Or is this inevitable?

On Seto's back, Vihera questions a new plant that appeared as if she had waited for Seto to increase its speed.

I don't know what the person behind this one is up to... but it was a vihella that bothered me for a moment, but now I decide that going under those giant flowers is my top priority.

Above all, there was also a pure desire to enjoy fighting unknown monsters.

Yatsu stretches to stop Seto and Vihera from moving, but he moves through the woods as he slashes and rips it apart.

I don't know how long it's been since I've been in the woods that way...... I also feel like I'm already running through the woods for an hour if it doesn't feel like it's been long enough yet.

When I had that thought...... Seto accidentally stopped.

Vihera, who, naturally, is on Seto's back, is also heavily burdened by just stopping at once in a situation that has been running at considerable speed, but Vihera also has physical abilities to such an extent that the momentum can be easily killed.

Suddenly he stopped his leg, so the ground was created four deep sharpening marks by Seto's leg.

It was a vihella that was never shaken off, but I don't see why Seto suddenly stopped, opening his mouth with a slight seep of confusion.

"What's the matter, Seto?"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

But Seto doesn't answer such Vihera's words, he rings high.

And activated, crystal brace.

A brace released from Seto's mouth turns everything he touches into a crystal.

… it is right that everything that touches the brace is covered by thin crystals, not exactly turned into crystals.

It was Vihera questioning why she suddenly did that, but still I guess she didn't think Seto would do this kind of imitation for nothing.

Look around sharply so you can react immediately no matter what happens.

But... even in that state, there's no particular monster, let alone being attacked.

Open your mouth, not knowing why Seto is using crystal braces.

"Hey, hey. Seto.... what happened?

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

But without the appearance of answering such Vihella's words, Seto keeps throwing up crystal braces at those who were about to move on.

It was a bewildered state of Vihera, but whatever it is, make Seto like it by deciding it's not a good idea to get in Seto's way in the present situation.

From there, a few more minutes.

Finally stops Seto from spitting out his crystal braces.

"Uh, Seto?

"Gru."

What? And it was Ceto tilting his little neck, but I don't know how to ask Vihera the question.

In the end he doesn't ask any more questions and waste any more time, he decides only to ask Ray later, and again Vihera goes on through the woods while riding Seto.

When I ran where I used the crystal brace, the sound of Seto's feet treading and crushing the crystal echoed around me and I felt just a little comfortable... that would be for the record.

But if Vihela had taken a good look at the crystal that had fallen to the ground, she would have noticed that yellow powder was trapped inside that crystal.

And Vihera didn't know, but it was the pollen used to take away the monster's ability to think and lure him into the woods.

Seto didn't even know the detailed effect, but he still had a bad feeling the moment he saw the pollen and dealt with it with a crystal brace.

... but even the moon is in hiding in the clouds, and on top of that it is in the woods that Seto and Vihera are there.

The moonlight is quite blocked by the branches... even if the dark vision is advantageous, around discerning the pollen-like in it, Seto's... no, I guess it shows the high five senses of the griffon.

Nor did I know this Seto, but the pollen being turned into a lure is ineffective for those who have more than a certain amount of defense against magic.

In other words, it would not have worked for Seto or for Vihera.

No, Ning Lo, if you're the adventurers participating in this request, almost everyone will be able to deactivate it.

Still, Seto's powerlessness of pollen in this way was undoubtedly fortunate for Seto and Vihera, if they thought about it as a whole.

In the first place, this pollen itself was a substitute for Seto and Vihera.

Either way, Seto and Vihera keep running through the woods after one of the crystal braces is done...... eventually, they inadvertently go out to a bright spot.

Yes, a bright spot.

The place out was where the trees had not grown, with the only exception.

There are several grasses growing on the ground, like meadows, but only grass.

In the unproduced central part of the trees, there is a huge...... that's the thick stem that would convince you to be told it's a tree trunk at first glance.

There are many thorns in that stem that look sharp to see.

At the side, a sight that would never be too much to say that the blade of the dagger is growing as it is.

"... what do you think?

Viewing openly suspicious thorns, Vihera asks Seto.

But Seto also has this huge flower...... no, this is the first day I've seen a flower monster.

More than that, it would be natural to wonder how to handle it.

"Grrrrrr...... Grrrrrr!

Still all I can do right now is see what those flowers are like.

Ten arrows made of ice are produced around a ceto that rings out like for the time being.

Ice Arrow, Seto's skill.

The ice arrow that shows up flies straight towards the giant flower stem.

Because of the low level, Ice Arrow's attack power is never high.

But an ice arrow with a sharp tip could definitely do some damage if pierced.

Vihera can also be expected to have some reaction, although she doesn't know much about ice arrows.

And... the moment I thought the ice arrow would pierce the stem, many thorns that were growing on the stem were fired simultaneously, intercepting the ice arrow.

Thorns and ice arrows bumping into each other in the air.

Ultimately, the winner was an ice arrow, but even if he played or pierced the thorns, the thorns released from the stems were more overwhelming than the ice arrows.

That's how many thorns keep hitting the ice arrows, not to mention numbers for quality, and eventually the ice arrows get diverted.

Viewing an ice arrow that didn't hit a giant flower stem and flew away to the non-Alas, Vihera grinned knowing how to attack over there...... but at the next moment she gives a slight look of surprise.

From the part of the stem where the thorns were ejected, new thorns grew.

(You have a very convenient body. But... I wonder if I can handle that kind of speed)

Given my physical abilities, I am confident that an attack of that speed will not suffice.

"Seto, I'm coming forward, you need backup, okay?

"Grrrr...... grrr?

Are you all right? And to Seto, who rattles his throat, Vihera tries to open her mouth...

"Huh!? You could let me talk to you for a little while!

Tentacles from the stem...... No, I see the vihela stretching toward me, and Vihella comes forward throwing up like that.

... What is that word? It is the laughter of fighting the mighty enemy that is floating on Vihella's face behind his back.

Stretch a nail made of magic from your armor as you watch it stretch toward you.

At the tip of the ram, a thorn grows similar to that grown from the stem.

However, the thorn is larger and sharper than the thorn growing from the stem.

Rather than calling it a thorn, it was a worthy substitute for calling it a needle.

Heading for the needled bamboo, Vihella goes straight into it.

In that way, at moments such as whether the tip needle touches the body, it forcefully changes the orientation of the body as it moves.

Piercing the space just a few centimeters from Vihella.

When touched, he said he could definitely tear his skin and see it was a blow that ripped the flesh, but Vihella goes forward without showing him how scared she was at all.

On the contrary, he flashed his magic claws as he avoided the blow of the Xu and moved forward, letting the Xu even be cut in the middle.

Thorns are ejected from the stem in an attempt to intercept such a vihella, but countless thorn attacks are also avoided with minimal motion due to amazing moving vision, and only thorns that really strike you are played by magical nails.

That's more of a move to describe as a dance than a battle.

If there were a man on this occasion...... no, even if it were a woman who is analogous, she would be blinded by the current move of Vihera.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Of course, Seto hasn't done anything either.

Use ice arrows and windarrows to intercept thorns heading to Vihera.

It is clear at the outset whether the ice arrows or windarrows produced with thorn or ceto skills are stronger if they are bumped directly from the front.

If thorns are ejected continuously, it's different story, but nothing is wrong this time because the aim is to play thorns aimed at Vihella.

So regardless of the armor and toenails, even though they are not even equipped with armor with one thin coat, Vihera continued to move forward while avoiding all attacks due to her natural talent...... eventually she arrived in front of the plant stems.

Such a vihela wields a vibration from the head, but despite the blow from the blind spot, Vihela cuts the vibration lightly with her nails on her hand.

You must have understood that giant flowers are also dangerous to you. Determine that the attack cannot be prevented solely by the jaws and thorns, and drop the seeds directly beneath you.

Originally, this species is one of the means of spreading the forest of Trento, and dropping it toward where you are is an unlikely option… that's all you've decided Vihella is a dangerous opponent.

But Vihera dodges the seeds coming down against her gently… On the contrary, even that dodged motion gently touches the stem with her palms as a preliminary to a blow toward the next attack.

"Ha!"

With the voice of temper the magic is tapped into the interior of the stem as a shock... In one case with Ambris, the more powerful immersive palm blasts the stem supporting the giant flower from the interior the next moment, destroying it.

"... Phew, you enjoyed it inside"

Vihera grinned and told him so as she watched the flowers with broken stems fall in the direction where she and Seto were not... but the next moment, she saw that many giant flowers had grown out of the woods exactly the same as she had now defeated her, and she just stopped moving.
