Legend

Into the woods, the four men, Ray, Marina, Vihera and Bühne, went straight back down the path that Ray and Bühne had come by earlier.

After seeing Bühne leading the way, Ray sees the sky from the gaps in the branches.

When he sees Seto flying through the sky only for a moment from there, Ray proceeds through the woods again, relieved by that.

"Nevertheless, it's a cave.... It's a little rare in these woods."

You remember the information Ray told you I've been scouting, Marina squeaks.

Even so, it seems to be the marina of the arms who is wary of what's going on around them.

Always, Seto discovers first, if anything is strange, than the bandit Bühne, rather than Ray, who has five senses sharper than man.

But I don't have that ceto right now.

No, that's exactly what Ray looked like when he saw the sky earlier, so is it accurate that he's not nearby?

Therefore, he walked vigilantly around so that the bandits would not find him... and the monsters would not find him.

"Slow down!"

In the meantime, I accidentally stab a tsu spear in the bush that Ray had in his hand.

"Gupi!"

And the screaming of the terminator that echoes around.

What Ray saw pulling Tsu's spear out of the bush was a monster of a raven with three horns growing.

... I wish I could call it a raven.

(Gamelion's child...... no, no. Still a monster to defeat for the first time.... like it was in the Monster Dictionary...)

The marina opens her mouth as Ray thinks as she looks at the corpse of a monster of ravioli stabbed in the tip of her ear.

"Oh, it's not Oulrabit"

"Oh, that's it"

Oul Rabbit, a rank e monster featuring three horns and fangs.

It's shaped like a raven, but as you can see from its fangs, it's a carnivorous monster.

It's a monster that attacks with three horns and fangs growing from your forehead with a strong ankle and a quick figure, but it's not that powerful a monster.

But he had more delicious meat than rank, like an oak, and in that sense he was a popular monster.

"In the meantime, we'll see about dismantling this later. We need to drain blood or something."

Whimpering, pulling the tip of Tsu's spear from Oulrabit's body as it is, stores it in the mistering.

Decide that it would be just right for the souvenir of Seto, who is flying in the sky by himself, than the meat tastes good.

"Well, let's move on. Beaune, please."

"Mmm."

Beaune replies small to Marina's words and goes on through the woods, which are stained with the sunset again.

(I'd like to clean up and go home as soon as I can.... I don't know)

From what Ray saw during his reconnaissance, the private soldiers to fight this time are not that strong opponents.

It was Ray's expectation that that would be bad for the Vihera he expects, but probably not a satisfactory battle.

(Well, the man they called the captain seemed strong there, so should I leave that to you)

If this is a monster, then that's no more reason to give in than it also takes demon stones to absorb in warcraft.

But in this case, they're human.

You didn't have to force yourself to defeat the strongest opponent of your enemies more than defeating them doesn't mean you get the Demon Stone.

Then there's nothing wrong with ceding that mighty enemy to Vihella.

"Mmm."

Proceeding through the woods, for a while.

Beune, who was inadvertently walking ahead, speaks briefly.

That was no different than usual, but the will for vigilance there could also be felt by the Rays.

And I don't have to think about who that vigilant opponent is any more than Büne would be vigilant in the current situation.

"... you're here"

Marina groans small, Ray, Vihera and Bühne nod respectively.

Bühne was a bandit, Marina had a high vision as a dark elf, and Vihera had a vision raised by the absorption of Ambris, looking at his opponent.

Yeah, some guys watching the perimeter of Azito.

If this is the forest...... if you consider it to be a habitat for monsters, that would have been natural.

If you stay in the woods with no guard or anything, that's why you don't know when the monsters will attack you.

In order not to do so, you will need to keep an eye on him.

Most importantly, Ray and Biune stole that lookout's eye a while ago and infiltrated Azito, escaping from it.

"What do we do?

"I'll clean up."

With Tsu's spear in his hand, Ray shrugs.

The other three snorted silently at it as well.

We all know that Ray is the strongest of these four.

I had the thought that if that ray were to move, it would definitely be.

"Okay. Then I'll move all at once when I clear the lookout. You can't be alone on guard, so you'll soon feel strange."

"The enemy captain can have me, can't he?

Ray nods back to Vihera, who asks him to confirm.

With a satisfying look on his face, Vihera had a fierce grin on her mouth the next moment.

I guess I'm hoping for a battle to come.

Ray, who figured it out, jumps out of the shadow of a tree he was hiding in prayer that Vihella would be a satisfactory battle if he could.

"Huh!?

The watchman tries to scream the moment he understands something has popped up.

But Ray's stepping in had already put his opponent in his own time before he could hear from the man's mouth.

Not to mention, Ray's weapon is a spear. In terms of the length of time between weapons, it has an advantage over the long sword a man has in his hand.

Long weapons are difficult to use in a place called in the woods, but spears dominated by poking are different stories.

In the end, the watchman takes a blow to the dovetail, unconscious, and collapses to the ground, unable to speak either.

Still, I guess it was lucky for the man that Ray's unleashed poke was a stone poke, not a spear's tip.

It's just that Ray doesn't like killing men either, or he didn't bother to let them live and capture them for that reason.

Because of the idea that there would be more sources to get a little information about those behind this group of private soldiers.

... although there was definitely one side to it that it would be more rewarding to capture them alive.

From there, the Rays proceed towards the enemy Ajito without exchanging words.

If you can ambush them first, you can defeat them all at once as they are.

That's why I knocked him out so he wouldn't let the lookout speak out... the effect was less than Ray thought.

Suddenly they appeared, strangers… As soon as they saw Ray, those in Azit immediately launched an attack with a weapon in their hands.

(Heh)

Ray is just a little impressed with the responsiveness.

When I snuck in, it didn't look like I noticed it, but once I found Ray, I didn't get lost and immediately judged him an enemy and attacked him.

Of course, I don't know when a monster will raid me, even if I have a watch, more than I have an aside in this forest.

If that's the case, it's natural to be prepared for a time like this.

"Enemies..."

But... Still, it's too late.

Enemy attack, or is the enemy here?

Either way, before he screams the Rays' assault, the man is beaten to the side with Rays' waving tsu spear and blows a few meters straight to the side.

It must have been unfortunate for a man to have been a place where only Ajito was quite wide enough to wield a spear on a sideburn.

Most of all, it depends on people whether they are poked at the body with a poke and lose consciousness, or whether they are blown away by a horizontal giraffe and lose consciousness.

Still, the scream of the unconscious man echoed in Azito.

Each of those who hear it decides it is an enemy attack and goes out to intercept with a weapon.

"Become!? Not a monster!?

"Kid!?

I look at Ray in a dragon robe hood and some of them raise their voices like they're confused.

But the bewilderment can be described as fatal to the men.

Ray didn't care what happened to the men, he came forward.

And a tsu spear to be wielded.

... With Seto, maybe I could have recognized Ray as an adventurer with a deep red alias, but unfortunately Seto is now over the sky.

In the end, the man who called Ray a kid is blown away with a blow by Tsu's spear, barely understanding what happened, and he hits one guy who stays on his side.

If it becomes so disturbing, there will naturally be a lot of intense movement around.

But Ray isn't the only one fighting.

The marina uses a bow to shoot through the enemy's hands and feet, preventing them from moving any further.

Vihera searches for the desired captain while defeating the enemy with one blow.

Unlike the other three, Büne follows by flying long needles or slashing them with white clouds if he pokes them in the gap, while traveling to prevent them from being found by his enemies.

"Calm down! Everybody, get in formation! There are only a few enemies, you can't be a werewolf!

That's what the captain shouts when he sees his men being stunned by the Rays one after the other.

That voice must have returned it to me. The private soldiers are also rapidly calming down.

In the first place, this group of private soldiers has the degree of sophistication they deserve to call themselves quite elite.

Beyond that, it wasn't that hard to return to me once I was in a mess.

"Heh."

It was Ray who leaked his impression.

Once again, he turns his gaze to what's going on around him, taking away the consciousness of those who appear one after the other using Tsu's spear.

There was the sight of Vihela attacking the enemy captain, who had found it visibly, who had raised his voice earlier…

Captain!

Seeing a captain like that, someone nearby tries to cover him...

"Damn! Damn!

One arrow shoots through his leg.

Then, of course, the captain will not be able to cover you.

In front of a man, fists, feet, weapons and other things are released at such a speed that it is finally to chase him with his eyes.

Even if the man who was shot through his thigh tried to cover the captain, it was definitely supposed to get in the way.

And when the man noticed, there was already Ray in front of him...

"Become!?

The moment you realize you have someone in front of you, you lose consciousness due to a blow from Tsu's spear.

Ray looks around with Tsu's spear in his hand as he sees the man collapsing to the ground.

(Considering you didn't use Tsu's spear special abilities, could the weapon have been a dusk spear?... Well, I guess I should use Tsu's spear once in a while)

Looking around with that in mind, I see several men entering a cave in Azit.

... I guess you're right that it's not exactly a cave in Ajit, but a cave that made this place Ajit.

Anyway, as for Ray, who was infiltrating this Azito earlier, I know what's out there.

In the first place, Ray and the others were hired to get that material back.

If I see the men going into the cave where that material is placed in this situation, I naturally have a bad feeling about something.

"Ray!"

Short call.

But Ray, who turned his gaze to the marina who had made that call, understood what the marina wanted to say by looking at the cave.

Most of those already in this Azid are powerless.

Many of them had not lost consciousness, but most of them had been shot through their hands and feet with marina arrows, making them physically incapable.

Only in such a situation would Ray decide that he would have no problem following the person he had caved in, and when he nodded small, he stepped straight out toward the cave.

"Hahaha, that's pretty good to do. More, faster, stronger, sharper!

Leave the voices full of Vihella's joy behind you.

(Once it was enough skill to satisfy Vihella... well, you were lucky)

While I think that way, I follow the men who went into the cave and go inside.

At that time, I was erasing the signs so that I could not find them, partly to get some information about the men, and partly because it would be easier to win an ambush.

"Hey, what are you gonna do with this!

"You just have to burn the burning materials and make nothing else useless. Or even if it doesn't get that far, like hesitating to use it!

Ray smiles small when he learns from that conversation that the men came into the cave for what he expected.

I wonder if that would be the reason to go into the cave where the material is gathered in the current situation, so that it would not be recovered.

When Ray scouted, he talked about picking it up, but if that didn't seem possible, he told me to destroy it.

Enough more than I could confirm that... No, if I had listened any more, I would decide that the material would be wasted and open my mouth.

"That's a little troublesome"

"Become!?

All of a sudden, Ray was attacked by the men who were stunned by his voice.
