Legend

If you think the giant flowers that were causing the seeds to fall, the next moment Ray waves the death size uncomfortably, seeing as many similar giant flowers have grown out of the Trent forest again.

Flowers flying out of the ground are cut off lightly and fall to the ground.

"Shit, it's troublesome... what do you think I should do with this?

Maybe that flower was Trent's forest boss.

Even without certainty, Ray had the hopeful observation that he wanted it to be, if he could, but the thought would be lightly removed.

Marina answers the words of such a frustrating mixed lay, imitating the uninterrupted shooting of arrows and filling the haetrigusa with arrows.

"Right. That giant flower is a great force for the Trent Forest. More than that, if you take down those flowers, they'll make noise, won't they?

"... if it's a regular monster, I guess it is"

In the first place, the monsters present in the Trent Forest have no demonic stones, even if they are limited to the monsters that the Rays have fought before.

That meant that this monster was not an ordinary monster.

It wouldn't be strange to have such doubts about how Ray might be able to use it when he defeats such a normal monster.

But it is also true that that is the only means by which we can do it quickly in the current situation.

No, in the worst case scenario, there is also the means by which Ray burns the forest, but if he imitates that, without a doubt, all of Trent's forest... even if it doesn't get that far, a significant part of it burns.

Of course it is possible for trees to grow again from burnt areas, but it is harder to move it into action than it is only possible.

That's also why Ray doesn't use the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, which is powerful to the point of being vicious against the plant system.

While swinging Death Size and Dusk Spear, Ray was thinking about what he was going to do, there's nothing he can do about it more than have little detailed information about this forest yet in the first place.

But...... you heard that conversation between Ray and Marina, one of us who was exchanging opinions with the researchers around him in spite of this situation opens his mouth looking at Ray.

"Perhaps the central part of this forest… or given that this forest extends only towards the guilds, it may be the opposite end of the road to this one, but I'm pretty sure there's something there"

"... the question is, can we do something about it and do something about it, too!

Ray screams as he cuts off the stems of plants flying odd fruits in Death Size.

Note that the thrown fruit was scattered around the area with liquid that dissolved the surrounding grass when it hit the ground.

A monster named Living in the Trent Forest, I'm surprised for a moment at the monsters who attack grass like you can say companions, but I'm convinced that monsters of a different kind rarely think of them as allies in the first place.

"I think it's possible enough that there's something in the middle of the woods... but still, you don't know what it is?

As the Spirit of the water travels through the ground, he gathers and captures the pigeons who were about to approach them in the darkness and grass shade of the night, and at the next moment he gathers them and twists them.

Several adventurers watching it revealed their surprises, like, uh-huh.

The adventurers here naturally know what Marina is like.

I also know I've been an armed adventurer in the past, but still, I guess I wasn't expecting to use powerful spiritual magic so far.

... I look at the twisted twisted twister and let some guys pull their hips or become inner thighs unexpectedly.

I suppose they have a lot to think about.

"Right. But if we stay like this, we will withdraw... or we need to keep fighting for it extended until morning. The fact that monsters don't show up during the day seems to be an unmistakable fact."

What will Marina do to the researchers' words that will tell them how calm they are? and gaze at Ray.

Ray is only the party leader for the party Red Lotus Wings that Marina belongs to.

Beyond that, the party's judgment was a recognition that it was natural for Ray to do so.

Of course, if it's obviously wrong, there will be disagreements with it.

"Okay, I'll..."

Go.

That's what I tried to say Ray, but I see some adventurers fighting some monsters before I could say that word to the end, trying to get into the woods with flirting... as if they were drunk or something.

Strangely enough, monsters around don't attack adventurers like that.

I was barefoot next to it as if I hadn't seen it.

"Whoa, southerd! Where are you going! Come back here!

"Sharan, hey, come back! Hey, you're hearing me!

I can hear some of those screams coming from around me.

They are all voices directed at adventurers walking out into the woods.

But if you can hear that voice, you'll head into the woods without looking concerned at all.

"Huh!? Tastes bad!?"

The first to notice it was the marina, which was informed of the anomaly by the Spirit of the Wind.

Immediately use magic and ask the spirits.

'Spirit of water, spread thinly, swallow the harmful beings that are in the air!

With that word, the water travels through the air with a large spread surface.

What the hell are you doing? and some had doubts about how such a marina looked, but now decided it wasn't the case, the adventurers were retaining their companions as they battled nearby enemies to the back of the woods.

But...... when the marina imitates the spirits of water moving in the air, suddenly no one imitates them walking out with a thousand feet towards the back of the woods.

"What happened?

That's what Ray asks, flashing Death Size through Trent's trunk, traveling to near the marina.

In contrast to such a ray, the marina gazes at the water she moved to the ground and opens her mouth.

"Look."

It was a terminal word for the marina, but still enough to show you what you wanted me to do.

And as Ray turns his gaze to the water on the ground, he frowns slightly.

A substitute in the water... because I saw yellow powder.

"What's this?

"Right, I think it's probably pollen.... the people who smoked this walked out."

Ray again looks at the water on the ground with a surprising look on Ray's face at Marina's words whining as he sees the adventurers secured by his companions before he manages to enter the woods.

"... that's a pain in the ass"

"Yes."

We exchange opinions briefly with each other.

"What do we do?

"If you know there's something like this, you can deal with it. You can collect it with water like now, or blow it with the wind... it's dangerous to burn it down, but"

"I think you should put it together and burn it all... Shh!

Play a death-size nut with sharp thorns that flew as they slashed and ripped the air, throwing a spear of dusk.

The spear of dusk, unleashed at a speed not comparable to that of the flown nuts, pierces and crushes the trunk of existence that seems to be a subspecies of Trent.

Playing Death Size the next seed that has poured out of a new giant flower while watching a monster fall to the ground in two... I doubt it.

(Kind of a small amount of seeds coming down, huh? Even though the number of those sunflower mods is increasing)

There are four giant flowers just visible from Ray.

The number of flowers could have increased even more, considering where trees were out of the way and invisible.

But as far as Ray can tell, the amount of seeds that come down is no different than when a bottle.... No, it seems like there's even a diminution.

Ray didn't even know if that was a good thing or a bad thing, but he decided to assume it was a good thing for now.

(Vihera did it for me, and if you think about it, it should never be a bad thing....... I hope so)

One of the researchers screams again at Ray, who bothers him that way.

"Regardless of the pollen thing, it's the heart of the woods! No, maybe it's the edge of the woods!

In the words of that researcher, Ray recalls what he was talking about before the pollen thing.

I wasn't going to go there myself, and I actually tried to say so.

But Ray remembers seeing this forest from above more than once with Seto.

And if I remember, I can't even honestly snort at the researcher's words.

"As you know, I ride Seto and watch this Trent forest from above again and again. But there was nothing particularly unusual in the middle, was there? Less, meaningfully pompous, empty spaces, that sort of thing for sure.... I don't know who's on the edge."

Where the giant flowers grow, there's a space as pompous as Ray has just spoken, but I can't tell Ray that right now.

"Well, if you think of it as this big a forest, it's definitely not weird to have some sort of landmark like that."

Researchers, too, groan unfortunately at Ray's words.

"Because, are you still on the edge of the woods?

"That being said, where exactly is the end? When you say end, doesn't that mean the other side is all end, unlike the center?

"That's... well, I think it will"

That's what I'm returning, but it's not immediately useful information in the current situation.

What we need now is information that will help us quickly.

The central part of the forest or the edge?

Either way, we need to do something about the Trent Forest towards one of them... or we need to retreat from the front of the Trent Forest.

But I don't have the idea of retreating in Ray.

In the first place, that would be more natural than Seto and Vihera being among the Trento woods.

If we were to retreat here, that could mean abandoning Vihela and Seto.

(Then... wait here until Vihera and Seto come back, or I'll go, right?)

Though he thinks so, Ray has the answer given his personality.

"Go."

In the words, Marina gives an alternating look with no joy and no regrets.

Because I was glad that Ray had met his expectation that there was no reason to abandon Vihera and Seto, but given the current situation, there was no way he could get out of here.

It was a marina that I would have liked to go into the woods with Ray if I could, but I don't think anyone can command it more clearly than I do on this occasion, and most importantly, it is only with the spiritual magic of the marina that the adventurers are able to advance their battle against the monsters coming out of the Trento woods here in their favor.

To the extent that it is not strange to describe it as loved by the Spirit, Marina is liked by the Spirit.

That's why we can successfully use spiritual magic so far.

Without that marina, the battle here will undoubtedly be lost by the adventurer side.

In order not to, the marina still can't leave here.

That was why I got an unfortunate look on my face.

"Yes, be careful"

In the end all I can do to the marina right now is say so and send it out.

If you're going to act selfish here, you can keep up with Ray.

But due to Marina's character, I couldn't do that.

... If this is Vihera, I guess I'll head with Ray to the Trento Forest that I might be able to fight the mighty enemies.

"Oh, let it be. If that's possible for now, we'll rendezvous with Vihera before heading for the middle of the Trento Forest.... I hope it's not on the other side."

"Mmm!"

"Bühne's leaving a message here."

"... n"

That's what Büne said he wanted to go, too, but Ray dismisses it immediately.

I know Bühne is nostalgic for Vihella, but it's a totally undisclosed place we're going to be heading.

For once we are in the Trento Forest during the day, but it will be obvious from this situation now that it is very different between day and night.

I can't take Bühne to a place like that.

Though he gained some fighting power in his training during the winter months, that is only to some extent in the end.

It wasn't on a level where we could take them to unknown places that might be dangerous for Ray, even less.

Not to mention...

"Be sure to take me with you!

"You can't do this. You're trapped."

The researchers were out of the question.

Ray immediately trumps off the researcher's words telling him he wants him to take him too.

Intellectual curiosity is high, but taking researchers who can hardly protect themselves is nothing but suicidal behavior.

Leaving researchers on the spot shocked by the remark of footprinting, Ray entered the woods as he defeated his enemies waving a Death Size and Dusk spear.
