"Gooooooooooooo"
"Gooooooooooooo"
From the rift in space where the thrown spear jumped in, a voice leaked that could be taken as both screaming, roaring, and angry.
Is it because it sounds like a rift in space, or is it simply that kind of ecology?
Ray didn't even know what was going on around there, but there's not one scream you can hear, it's multiple, overlapping screams.
"... In the meantime, physical attacks work," he said. It's not as sturdy as tentacles. "
Next to the grunting ray, Vihella finally arrives, who has evacuated from the front of the space rift, pointing her gaze at Ray somewhere dazed.
"Hear that scream, that's the word that comes out? I think we can have another reaction."
"Really? Well, even if I heard the scream over there, I didn't expect anything to slow me down... and it sounds like this ringing isn't like Seto's skill. Maybe it's simply a scream that it hurts"
To Ray's words, Vihera looks around… precisely at such faces as adventurers and guards who were scattered throughout this underground space.
Then Ray is right, some of the faces there are now ready to move, and many are trying to get away from this scene and head up.
We realize our situation before Ray says anything, and we start evacuating immediately.
I guess it's because the judgments around here are those who excel as adventurers and guards.
Actually, I guess it's because Vihera yelled earlier to evacuate from here.
It was admirable to hear that roar, but not to forget about it.
Vihera, who shouted earlier, at least not less, nodded as she was impressed to see such adventurers and guards.
"Apparently you do.... So, what do you do? Continue with more current attacks?
While acknowledging Ray's words, Vihella tells him otherwise, saying that she very much doesn't think it would work with the same offense.
Vihella's words were also convincing to Ray, given that unlike the spear of dusk it was best to penetrate the tentacles and scratch them somewhat.
"In the meantime, I don't know how much intelligence is over there, and maybe another attack or two could work, and I'll give it a try"
Return the words to Vihella and remove the disposable spear from the mistering again.
That's how I set out to throw it again, at that moment. The screams heard from the rift in space suddenly disappear and the tentacles fold as if to protect that rift in space.
That's polite too, just in front of Ray.
"... apparently, you had a lot of intelligence"
The tentacles overlapped multiple times, and that was at the end of Ray's gaze as what should also be called a tentacle shield.
Even in the situation where the tentacle shield was created, Ray would not stop the throwing...
"Show me how strong it is!
With a sharp scream, Ray throws the spear he had.
Its spear, quickly released, thrust as it slashed and ripped the air...
I knew you couldn't do it.
It was a spear through a gap in the tentacle that was folding, but the movement stops when about half of the spear is filled.
And you couldn't stand the pressure on your tentacles anymore, or it snapped in the middle of the pattern.
"What are we going to do?
"... right"
Whimpering, Ray moves from where he's been.
If the tentacles are only making shields toward Ray, I thought that if we move from where we are now, we could ignore the shields... did we anticipate the idea of such Ray over there as well, with new tentacles stretching massively out of the rift of space to center ourselves and cover the entire perimeter with tentacle shields?
"I don't know how you recognize me, but if you're still intelligent, it's natural to deal with this one moving around."
We can contract with humans, create innumerable cobolts, or manipulate them, even to some extent.
I should have expected to have a high intelligence, as naturally, but it was still difficult to see a pink tentacle, a tentacle that was also painted on some kind of mucus, and think he had a high intelligence.
"So, what do you do?
Ray opens his mouth to the words of Vihera, who comes to the side and asks.
"When I think about the time I helped Vihela earlier, I think a spear of dusk would also pierce some of those tentacle shields..."
"The spear of dusk will come back if you remember to return to hand, won't it? Then why don't you throw a spear of dusk, and then break the tentacle shield somewhat, put it back on hand where the movement stopped, and then throw it again?
Why don't you attack him with half strength? It was Vihera's suggestion, but it's not that wrong when it comes to this one.
"That way you can take them down... I don't know if you can, but you'll be able to hurt them.... but do you really think I could take it down? What do you think would happen to a contract or something that's tied up with the other side if you knocked it down badly here?
"Are you going to say that now? You've already attacked the other side. I can't believe I'm saying this."
"Uh... yeah. That's true, though. However, I knew it when I thought about it this way.... and I needed to help the others in this underground space."
Confirming the underground space as I say, there are no adventurers or guards left already.
Everyone must have evacuated while Ray was fighting that tentacle and... No, the Lord of Tentacles.
In the sense of pointing the tentacle's attention at himself, Ray's choice was never wrong.
Regardless of whether the person was after it or not.
"Hmmm.... so what do we do now? Even if we don't fight, do you think they'll miss us?
To the words of Vihella, once again, Ray turns his gaze to the tentacles… those who have now taken the form of tentacles domes and fortresses.
As far as this goes, it doesn't look like the tentacles are attacking themselves.
If so, I also feel it would be nice to leave it alone here, but on the tentacles in the battle to the point earlier...... it is also true that I offended and angered the Lord of the tentacles to be precise.
Because if we lost ourselves here, it was very likely that we would be in trouble later.
"I knew I should have knocked him down.... but in this case, I have a feeling it's going to be a lot of trouble to take them down poorly. What do you think?"
"You'll have trouble asking me that. It's just, yeah, that's the way it turned out, isn't that a pretty nasty situation? I think it'll take a lot of work to take them down."
I wonder what to do with Vihera's words.
In the first place, when we passed through this underground space earlier, there were no tentacles, but there were also questions in the lay as to why we now suddenly have tentacles like this.
(It feels like this tentacle automatically shows up if it's a certain amount of time instead of needing some kind of key to call the tentacles...?
That's one of the things Ray predicted because his tentacles didn't show up when he entered this underground space today.
It wasn't that strong as a possibility, but it was also true that it would still fall most sincerely given the current situation.
(If that idea is correct, what were guards and adventurers so wrapped up in underground space? That's not from a single mansion, either, from many places)
A corpse of bones and skins alone, falling over into an underground space.
Thinking from the uniforms, armor and weapons that the body was wearing, that was definitely the body of the guards and escort adventurers.
While I doubt that...... let's just hit it off and see how it reacts over there.
Decide so, and take the dusk spear out of the mistering, not the disposable spear... but the move you tried to throw stops at that moment.
"Mr. Ray! Wait a minute, please! Mr. Langa is calling! That tentacle told me not to get my hands on it for now!
A guard of a woman who showed up from a staircase in a remote location yells that way at Ray, who was still about to throw a spear of dusk.
Had I been delayed in speaking for a few more seconds, the dusk spear in Ray's hand would undoubtedly have been unleashed towards a mass of tentacles.
Such, really critical timing.
Ray is forced to stop the throwing motion and takes a few steps by the momentum.
"Ever...... Phew"
"Was it good or bad that the movement stopped here... honestly, it's a subtle place"
Some of Vihera's words watching Ray move have some interesting colors.
You'd think you might still have a chance to fight your tentacles.
Actually, that's more than a mistake, though as far as Ray was concerned, I could only send such a frightening glance towards Vihera.
Taking his gaze off such a vihella, Ray speaks out to the guards as they move around the side of the walls of the underground space, trying to make the danger of being attacked by the tentacles a little less, with the spear of dusk in his hand.
"So, you mean leave these tentacles like this? That could get you into trouble later, though?
It was actually Ray who threw a spear at the rift in space that created a situation like the present one, but for now, I left that aside and asked the guard woman that.
The woman of the guard asked opens her mouth feeling sorry for such a ray.
"I know that too, Mr. Langa. But it seems that defeating this opponent in the present situation is all kinds of unpleasant..."
"Tasty? I mean, did Langa get any information about this guy?
With that said, Ray turns his gaze toward the stairs where he came out.
I can't see it from where I'm at right now, but there was supposed to be a stunned Jarvis there.
Ray originally brought Jarvis to this point where he passed out in order to extract information.
Some of that information is naturally against this tentacle and the Lord.
But if Langa has already gotten information about this one…, she immediately shakes her head to the side.
It was just this one mastermind, and it was certain that the only information Jarvis knew was against the tentacles.
More than that, Jarvis is still worth a fortune.
"So, what do you do? Fight those tentacles like this? Then I don't mind."
I'll make it work next time.
Vihera turns her gaze with such thoughts.
The female guard panicked a little about such a Vihera attitude... but Ray shook his neck sideways before that guard opened his mouth again.
"No, I'll stop it. In this mandatory investigation, Langa is the chief officer. If that langa got any information, you wouldn't have to bother fighting that tentacle here."
"Oh."
To Ray's words, Vihera groans unfortunately.
But still, I'm not forced to try to fight the tentacles because Ray said, convinced that Langa was the chief executive in this one case and got some important information?
"Vihera was just convinced too, suppose to get out of here? As it is now, that tentacle could strike again."
Two female guards and Vihera nod at it, too, to Ray, who squeals with his gaze at where there are tons of tentacles.
After confirming that, Ray does not loosen his guard against the tentacles and asks the female guard.
"Is Langa in the mansion with the stairs you came out of?
"Yes, Mr. Langa is waiting..."
I want you to come with me if you can.
Ray nods back to the female guard who tells him so.
"Okay. I have no problem with that.... Vihera?
"I know. You can't fight that tentacle, there's no point in waiting here.... Then let's go before the other one moves. If you waste your time here, that tentacle could move again."
The strongest reaction to Vihera's words was still the female guard.
My strength is also average as a guard, and I can deal with it if it's about the average person or a drunken adventurer, but the pink tentacles currently at the end of my gaze were different from the story.
The same goes for the color, but the way it's wrapped up in some kind of mucus would be enough opponent to be disgusted.
Being attacked by such tentacles means I'm absolutely sorry... I think so, taking Ray and Vihella out of underground space quickly.
Note. Jarvis was about to be forgotten for a moment, but I didn't forget that Ray was in charge to take it.
