Legend

It was a ray going through the woods at night, but naturally there are tons of monsters attacking toward such rays.

Tree branches, twigs, twigs, grass, thorns, fruit, pollen... Various attacks strike at Ray, but Ray doesn't deal with most of them and moves on.

You can defeat the monster you've attacked, but there's also a reason why defeating them is less savory than not having a demonic stone.

... Although the ingredients can be used in the same way as regular monsters, so it's not that it doesn't taste good at all.

Either way, this raid will not end unless we do something about what appears to be the central part of Trent's forest as soon as possible.

(Like that researcher said, if there's something on the edge, not the central part of the forest, it's a little hard to find, though. Anyway, joining Seto is the top priority)

It is overwhelmingly faster to ride Seto directly from above to the central part of the forest than to run and move through the woods in this way.

Nor do I have to worry about being interrupted in the direction of travel by the growing trees.

"Out of the way!

He wields the death size, slashing and tearing apart only Trent, who is forming himself in the direction of his progress.

From the usual ray, it would be a very, but inconceivable behavior.

Because if it's always the case, it's not weird to finish off all the monsters you see.

But I don't have time for this right now.

Anyway, we don't have time to deal with all the monsters who show up in this Trent forest.

"Ku, la, eh!

Throw a spear of dusk with magic, using the twist of your body.

The dusk spear, which flies straight, pierces, crushes and destroys the torso of various monsters, beginning with Trent, who tries to disturb it.

Trent's trunk crumbles, pulls the snake-like claw, and pierces the stem of the haetrigtha.

That's how many, dozens of monsters we collect and kill.... No, although in this case the expression destruction is probably more correct.

Eventually, the spear of dusk was returning to Ray's hand the next moment, as he slowed down the speed of flying through the sky by destroying many monsters.

When I make sure my path has been paved, I go straight through the empty path.

(I knew this monster...... that's crazy)

Ray whines inside as he runs down the path he forcefully created with his twilight spear.

Normally, if our people were so lightly murdered, we could have imagined who we were hostile to.

At least a few individuals hesitate to attack are bound to come out.

But... the Trent Forest monsters are attacking Ray one after the other just saying it has nothing to do with that.

Only Ray, who has fought so many monsters so far, is uncomfortable to see those monsters.

"Anyway, it's true I'm in the way of moving... dude!

Let Ray go or Trent will be stuck on the path created by the spear of dusk.

Of all the Trent Forest monsters Ray has ever fought for, Trent is the heaviest and most numerous.

In the sense of size, the giant flowers that still occasionally descend seeds would be better up, but did not extend to Trent in terms of number.

(Oh, and whether or not you can move)

Unlike Trent, who can move around freely using roots like feet, giant flowers don't look as moving as Ray has seen them.

Most importantly, because it is shaped like a sunflower and the flower part is huge, it is likely true that it is difficult to move even when trying to move.

He pushes even through the woods as he gently leaps and dodges the treads that have stretched out on his legs.

Then, gradually, the number of monsters attacking toward Ray increases.

Ray didn't know who was in command of the monsters, but I guess Ray's actions are the only way out of the way for beings who would be in command of them anyway.

(No, I'm in command, after all, is there a presence that would be in the heart of the forest?

I guess it's only because Ray has been through so many training grounds so far that he can afford to think about it, even as he wields his weapon as he moves.

Absolute certainty that no matter what happens next, you can do whatever you are capable of, and trust in the weapons in your hands.

And most importantly...

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Such a roar spreads around, while an arrow of ice flies in and pierces the monster.

"Seto!"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's call, Seto rings his throat with joy.

... I'm shaking my forelegs and crushing Trent's trunk, even though I'm throbbing.

"Oh, you haven't seen me?

On Seto's back running side by side next to Ray, Vihera asks that to Ray with a grin.

"That's no way.... you know where I am better than that."

"Thanks to Seto. If you're moving toward that flower, you're suddenly going to change direction. Most of the time, I could have predicted it because I heard a terrible breaking noise right after that."

There was something about the sound of destruction and the slight thought that I was tied to, Ray, but still, considering where I was running now, I can't complain.

"Seto, there are monsters around you... can you ask for the King's intimidation?

To mislead the story, Ray tells neighboring Seto.

But that's not just to mislead the story.

In fact, if you use the intimidation of Seto's king, a low-ranking monster will stop you from moving.

It was an unmistakable fact that it was a very effective means in a situation that was being attacked by such countless monsters.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

When Seto responds briefly to Ray's words in acknowledgment, the next moment he shouts out loud just saying his voice rings around him.

But... at the next moment, Trent's branch, which was in the direction of progress, swung down towards Ray, as if he had not heard such a Seto roar.

"Chi, what's going on!?

Of course, Ray doesn't think the king's intimidation will pass against all monsters either.

Powerful monster...... I knew that even if that wasn't even with the silver lion, it wouldn't work against a monster that ranked quite high.

But still, Ray, who was watching, also looks wide open to surprise at how ineffective it is against monsters like Trent.

If this meant that some of the monsters, starting with Trent, could have moved, I would have also been convinced that that monster would be a powerful monster among Trent.

But even under the intimidation of Seto's unleashed king, the monsters that can move are all the monsters in sight.

This isn't very much, but I don't think it's a coincidence or strength.

More another...... I have to recognize that that is the result for some clear reason.

(No way, this monster is all silver lions... no, you don't)

That's not how strong it is. That's the only Ray I've ever fought for. I can tell that instantly.

But then such questions arose as to why the King's intimidation had no effect.

Goblin-like… but definitely low rank when judging by the guilds… or somewhat better monsters.

In the light of previous experience, the King's intimidation was undoubtedly in effect for such monsters.

There were monsters who could move under the King's intimidation, but I'm pretty sure the speed is still pretty dull.

But why?

Though I think so, it is now clear that the King's intimidation has no effect.

I couldn't be more bound by ineffective skills now than I am.

(You should keep in mind that there may be other ineffective skills or something besides the King's intimidation)

Is the King's intimidation the only thing that doesn't work, or is there anything else?

As for Ray, who mainly uses his death-size skills in combat, I'm curious.

I guess not all Seto's skills are more ineffective than Ice Arrow's.

(Even with the same skill, Vihera's immersive palm was normally used in combat. Think so...... Shit, you're bumping into production around here)

Think so At the end of Ray's gaze, unexpectedly a giant haetrigtha grows.

It didn't move like Trent, it literally grew out of the ground.

After a few seconds and not hanging higher than Ray's back length, Haetrigtha tried to intercept the Rays by opening his fang-growing mouth...

Flying slaughter!

Ray's swinging death size makes the stem cut clean and fall to the ground.

(Does Flying Slash have an effect? Then now anyway......)

Even for one thing, Ray, who has been able to confirm the effect of his skills, speaks to Seto running next door... and to Vihera on Seto's back.

"In the heart of this forest, researchers said there might be something that would probably make this Trent forest look like a Trent forest... It's just, maybe it's in the opposite direction from where we came in."

"... I won't rely on you much, you know!

With claws stretched out of his hand, he quickly slashes and rips the tsu that has stretched out of nearby trees.

"Anyway, that's why I want to get on Ceto and look for the central part of this forest from the sky, what about Vihera? You can come with me, and I think you can stay here."

Naturally, I've decided to go, too.

Without any hesitation, Vihera tells me she's going too.

Ray also gets a convincing look at such a vihella.

The central part of this forest... or I don't know what's on the edge.

But still, it was probably certain that it would be a battle, and there was no option for Vihera, who preferred the battle to be more than that, not to act with Ray.

"Then you're gonna have to grab it on your feet and move it?

"Yes."

Exchanging words briefly, Vihera jumps off the back of the ceto she was on.

Even as I jump from above Seto's back, my legs don't snap or lag behind.

Around here, it can be described as the use of a Vihera-like body that prefers to fight.

So while I was there, it also seemed like Vihera was slashing and tearing apart monsters coming at me with nails on her hand even as she was down from Seto.

"Don't worry about the enemies around you! Now, anyway, it's time to get on Ceto and see the woods from above!

"Yeah, I know!

Vihera naturally returns her voice to Ray screaming as she rides down Seto's back.

In the first place, it seems silly to drain your strength here in vain because there is a battle waiting to be waged against an opponent who seems to be a powerful enemy after this.

That's what I think, but I still can't contain things like the exhilaration and excitement that springs up from within my body.

Usually, Vihera wouldn't be so expensive either.

This time, however, the expectation that Trento Forest is the kind of opponent I've never seen or heard of before makes Vihella irresistibly expensive.

"... but you can often tell your surroundings in this."

Smudge and ray squeak as they wield Death Size and Dusk spears over Seto's back, knocking down the monsters that appear one after another.

Since the moonlight is mostly blocked by tree branches, there is little discernment in the woods.

Still, it's not entirely indistinguishable because some tree is a dusk spear blow that Ray released earlier... precisely because Trent is being driven away.

But still, if you even have special eyes, like Ray's, it was strange for Ray to be able to discern that with Vihella's eyes.

In response to the question that came out of Ray's mouth, Vihera opens her mouth as she blushes her cheeks with the excitement of battle.

"The Ambris thing is making me look smart at night!

"... if you put it that way, you did"

Fusion with Ambris… No, Ray recalls that absorption has already made Vihera impossible to describe as a normal human being.

Most of all, the person who is no longer a person does not regret it at all... on the contrary, I am delighted that Ray and I can live together in eternal times.

(In the first place, I was running around in the woods at night with Seto, even now about the night)

Ray opens his mouth as he sees Seto attacking a monster like Trent's rare or superior species flying walnut-like nuts in a windarrow.

"Anyway, do we go to the sky?... Seto!

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto wings at Ray's words, anticipating the timing where his body floats in the air, and Vihera grabs it on its feet.

That's how Seto, Ray and Vihera and one of them ran up into the sky.
