Legend

"Hey, Ray! This way, this way! Look, take the tree we have here! Please! The next thing you know, the tree's cut off and there's no place to put it."

That's what an adventurer man shouts to Ray, who came all the way to Trent Forest on Ceto.

Ray, down from Seto's back, leans his neck at the words of such an adventurous man.

"Really? From what I've seen, I think there are quite a few other places to put it."

In fact, it's not surprising that vacant land is only spread for what you've logged because you're going to be logging trees growing in the Trento woods.

However... even though the trees were felled, there were many places where the stump and the roots of the trees remained intact.

Originally, we need to pull out such things as well… Sometimes winter is getting closer now, and the need to fell as many trees as possible kept the task of digging up the roots of the trees to a minimum.

The result was that it was faster to carry the felled trees than to dig up the roots of the trees, which were supposed to cause trouble in the tree storage area.

"Even the roots of this tree have a purpose, don't they?

"If I say yes or no, I have it. But to make it winter firewood, I can't dry it in time... and besides, it's a lot of hassle, so I'm really going to be behind you."

"... I see"

Of course that's a story in the sense of letting it dry naturally.

If you're face-to-face like a wizard or alchemist, that's not a hard story to talk about making the roots of a tree usable from the state of a raw tree to firewood.

However... many wizards and alchemists are now very busy with additions.

At first there were other adventurers who were envious of the magnitude of the wizards and alchemists' rewards, but they came to the guild to get paid, and seeing how tired the wizards and alchemists were, I'm glad I wasn't a wizard no matter how much the reward was...

Especially now that winter is near, there is no more room at all for wizards and alchemists to dry raw trees and turn them into firewood than they are made to work near their limits in the true sense.

I mean, digging up the stump badly in the current situation is totally useless.

I would not even use my efforts for such a waste, which is now minimal... that was the only stump I really pulled out of the way to move or carry a tree.

"... you're in the way"

Even if you can walk and move beyond what you naturally do, there's no doubt that the stump that's spreading beneath your feet is in the way.

It was also natural for the walking Ray to squeal like that.

"Uh, I'm sorry. But get used to it..."

Makes it easier to walk.

He was an adventurer who tried to say that, but Ray tries to block the word and opens his mouth.

"You don't have to leave this stump like this, do you? From what I've just heard, I'd like to do something about it if I could, but now I'm talking about keeping it that way because I'm prioritizing tree felling."

"No, well, that's right,"

With that said, the adventurer man turns his gaze of anticipation to Ray.

No, it wasn't just that adventurer's man pointing his anticipation at Ray, it was the same with the other adventurers who were guarding their surroundings to protect them.

Doing something about the stump is pretty tough work.

Maybe Ray can do something about it lightly...... Ray nods lightly and opens his mouth to such a gaze of anticipation.

"Then I'll do something about it. However, all I have to do is do something about the dirt so I can pull the stump right away. Still okay?

"Um, give me a minute. Can you show me how you're gonna do it for now? If you don't have a problem with that, I'll tell them."

With that said, it was easy to predict that if we could really dig back the stump lightly, we wouldn't even imitate them against it.

In fact, the countless stumps that exist are very intrusive.

It takes a lot of effort to dig it up, so I left it... but if I could do something about that effort, naturally I would have liked to do something about the stump.

Ray takes Death Size out of Mystering while being directed at the gaze of anticipation from the adventurers around him.

Some of those looking at Ray had such a surprising glance at Ray.

Naturally, I understand how powerful a weapon Ray's death size is, and how easily it is a substitute for hunting people's lives.

I understand... but I still didn't know why I was taking out the Death Size on this occasion.

I wonder if you're going to use Death Size to dig up the stump, and even if you think like that, one or two of them would be impossible if you were asked if you could somehow do all the stump on one side that is spreading here.

But some adventurers knew that the Death Size held by Ray was the same role as a magic activator… so to speak, a wand for a wizard, and such people had a Ning Ro convincing look on their face.

While taking such a large amount of gaze, Ray gently pierced the ground with a death-size stone poke without looking particularly concerned...

"Terrain manipulation"

Short, that's all I say.

But the consequences of that short phrase are enormous.

The stump in front of Ray came up.

No, not exactly. You're right that the ground with the stump was raised by about a metre.

If Ray was serious, he could have raised the ground bigger, but if he'd just done something about the stump, he wouldn't have to do that much.

The roots of the trees, which were stretched deep beneath the ground, were forced to move the soil by the topographical manipulation of the rays and lifted the cuttings, most of which cut a thousand in the soil.

... the biggest cause that was eating into the soil called roots and the stump couldn't move is gone, plus the ground is lifted by terrain manipulation... yes, it has the softness as if it were a plowed field.

"Slightly."

With a short word in his mouth, Ray waves Death Size.

Lightly...... it was a blow that only seemed to wiggle really lightly but the death size weighs nearly 100kg.

That's all the weight was wielded by Ray's power.

In the present situation, where the roots have been cut a thousand times and the soil has softened, there is no way that the stump can withstand such a blow.

As a result, the stump was lightly blown away by the death-size blow Ray wielded.

(Well, this way I didn't completely remove the roots of the tree, because it's still in the dirt... worst of all, it could grow out of it again, but that's not immediately translated, it's definitely going to take some time. less, you won't have a problem while you're working on the additions)

Use terrain manipulation again to restore the ground that was booming to a flat state.

"This is the way. Now that I blew up the stump with one blow, but the roots of the trees are chopped a thousand times, and the soil is softening, it should be easy to dig it back by hand.... What do you say?

What do you say? The man of the adventurer, who was turned to his gaze, finally returns to me in those words.

More than expected, the man was completely blinded.

"I don't care, no, all I can say is it's amazing.... Ok, this should allow me to dig back all the stumps without taking long. I'll talk to them soon, so hold on."

Say no or no, the man puts Ray on the spot, behind the woods... and runs out toward where the crocodiles are logging trees.

Having dropped it off, Ray decides that it would be in the way if he kept the previously blown stump intact for now, and carries it next to the felled tree.

Some turn a surprise gaze at Ray with a solid stump in one hand, whose roots are stretched to some extent.

Sometimes the stump still had some roots stretched, and it should have had the corresponding weight.

Even those who watched it blow up lightly in Death Size didn't think Ray would use all that power.

"Hey. Um... Is it magic after all that you lifted the stump to the ground?

"Hmm? Oh, yeah. Soil magic."

There's no way I can tell the truth about Death Size Skills I got from Warcraft...... etc., and I'll be so deluded as usual.

"Because I have an alias for deep red... Oh, no, I'm sorry"

So he was a cloudy man with words, but Ray understands what he tried to say.

The use of fire whirlwinds to burn down the Bestian Imperial Army is the alias.

From there, I guess that's exactly what Ray thought when he couldn't use any other magic.

(Well, that's the right thing to do)

In fact, Ray specializes in the magic of fire and cannot use the magic of any other attribute.

However, the skills in Death Size made it possible to use magic such as soil and wind.

Yes, just like right now.

"Hey! I've been listening to you! You can do it! No, Ning Ro, I'm telling you, if you can do it, do it for me!

An earlier adventurer returns running.

Nodding at the words, Ray tells the adventurers around him to gather near him, asks Seto to keep an eye on him around him to fly through the sky and poke a death-sized stone poke at the ground.

"Terrain manipulation"

Out of Ray's mouth was a similar word as earlier.

However... the events that occurred at the same time that the word was released were only on a scale that was not comparable to earlier.

The ground rose in all the surrounding areas and all the places with stumps.

It is that which makes the sound of the roots of the trees pulling a thousand pieces heard in the ears of rays and adventurers, even over the earth.

'Wow...'

All those who had gathered at Ray's side, to say the least, shouted surprise at the sight.

To be honest, it would be the right thing to say that it has drawn me to a different sight.

Neither did Ray expect to hear the roots of the tree pull a thousand pieces so blatantly so far, and while I did it myself, I was slightly surprised.

"Uh... in the meantime, now that the stump is normally pulled through by hand... right, just put it together in a place with felled trees"

To Ray's words, the adventurers finally return to me and move on to action.

It was slightly fearful, but I reach for the stump in the exuberant soil and gently pull.

It didn't move at first, but with a little effort, the stump was pulled out of the soil with little resistance the next moment.

Of course, you took it out of the soil you've been supporting, so the weight of the stump hangs right in the hands of the adventurer.

Most of them are adventurers. It's not as hard a story as supporting a stump.

Thousands of tree roots diving deep into places are cut off, and the soil is hardly the same as the soil of a soft freshly plowed field, not the kind of soil trampled on.

"Wow, it really slipped out"

When one of the adventurers squeals like that, the others pull out the stump next.

I guess it's funny how easy it is for those sturdy rooted stumps to pull through.

Everyone pulls out the next stump...

"What the fuck? Aah!

Unexpectedly, such a loud noise echoes around.

When Ray turns his gaze to the one who spoke, there are many of them.

From between the trees, naturally this sight would have been visible.

But still, most of them couldn't see it hidden in the trees.

But if you actually came out, you wouldn't be surprised because there were tons of piles of dirt in front of you.

And when one of them sees Ray, he changes his blood phase and comes closer.

"Hey, Ray! Is this your fault!? Right!?

I'm half-decided, but I'm not saying no to that either, more than I actually am.

"Right. I did it. The stump got in the way of everything. Or should I have kept the stump?

"No, it's... it's better to have no stump..."

Ray's words finally calmed him down, and he looks around again, even though he's in trouble.

There, many adventurers had pulled the stump out of the soil but carried it near felled trees.

"Uh... yeah. It's helpful that you take the stump, but the question is what to do with that stump. I'm in the way of doing anything.... Ray, I'm sorry, but can you take it somewhere and burn it?

"Are you sure? I think it could be used for firewood or something."

To Ray, who says so, he looks around… especially in the woods, where the trees are still growing, where they have come out.

"Oh. This is the only tree I have. To be honest, the stump is the only way out of the way. If this is how Ray handles it, it's definitely going to be more efficient."

"I'm glad you said that, too.... but you do. So I can take all that stump, right?

"What? No, I don't mind that... but what's the use?

"Well, in my case, there are lots of uses.... Yes, a lot."

With that said, Ray had a deep grin.
