Opo, and. Air bubbles arise at the bottom of the lake and rise towards the surface of the water.

Seeing the sight, the fish and animals that were swimming in the vicinity try to leave the scene immediately… but the tentacles that have been stretched out unexpectedly wrap around the body, making the body immobile at that moment.

The biggest fish caught by the tentacles… that fish, about a metre long, could have been said to be a strong man in this lake.

Just carnivorous fish, many of the fish present in this lake are only their own bait for that fish.

I also remember my anger at being above me overwhelmingly just because I realized I was also the king of this lake... all I currently hold is my instinctive fear of dying as it is.

Its body, which could swim faster than anyone else, but could not escape the tentacles wrapped around its own body, is gradually pulled.

And… eventually the fish is digested with a light dissolution of the body by the Lord of the Tentacles.

The Lord of the Tentacles, who also digested other fish and animals that were caught in the tentacles, still stretches his tentacles around to see if he still can't get hungry.

However, as a result of allowances or gradually eating fish and animals present nearby, there are no fish or animals around them.

You,

Air bubbles float from the bottom of the lake again, but that doesn't mean anything's going to happen.

Let your tentacles drift in the water and look for prey, but you won't find prey that will satisfy your hunger in the end.

If you can't find your prey even if you stay here, there's one thing to do.

If you don't have any prey, you just have to get to where you are.

Its presence, thus fluttering from the bottom of the lake, rises towards the surface of the water in search of prey.

There's no such thing as self, just acting instinctively to starve and satisfy.

However, it therefore does not hold any extra thoughts, it is true to its instincts but, therefore, it comes straight to the answer.

I felt the presence of mighty magic in a place that was not so far from me as its presence, which traveled quite above the surface of the water.

Its mighty magic decides that it will undoubtedly satisfy the hunger that lies within it, and follows its instincts to you.

And the closer I get to my prey, the more I can sense the presence of that enormous magic power.

He was the lord of the tentacles that were heading that way, but I notice that his presence moved.

At some point, there's nothing like questioning the person who existed directly above you... just breaking through the water to satisfy your own hunger and reaching out your tentacles.

Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat.

Tentacles stretched through the water as they were attacked by such hunger...... existence accidentally disappears.

I don't even realize that I've been attacked... No, I know you do, but I stretch my tentacles that I need to do something about the top rather than care about it.

… not exactly a tentacle, but a thin stretch of a part of the body of its being, but if viewed objectively, it was not a mistake to be described as a tentacle.

Many, many tentacles like that have been destroyed… Still, the movement due to hunger will not stop.

I kept stretching my tentacles, driven by instincts, but after time I couldn't capture the existence that satisfied my hunger.

Eventually, as it were, they decided they couldn't get the bait for long.

The presence in the water was not tentacles but the main body floating up on the surface trying to eat the opponent directly.

Time goes back, and when Ray and Seto were watching the Lizardman children playing in the lake, Seto accidentally squeaks sharply and stares at the lake.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"

The voice was heard in Ray's ear, as he was wary of something.

"Seto? What's up?

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

To Ray's call, Seto stares at the lake with his throat ringing.

If you look at Ceto like that, you can also understand that something... is also dangerous, that Ceto would have someone in the lake to be wary of.

In the first place, when I saw the lake from above, it was like I'd never seen it there... but I saw an animal in the lake with a tail that wasn't wet at all.

... Of course, for Ray, this world is not like Japan, where it was born and raised, and this lake is probably a being that has been transferred from another world in the first place.

If so, it's not strange that something exists that Ray doesn't know.

"Zozo, get the kids out of the lake and evacuate to the tower of birth!

To Ray's call, Zozo, who was waiting a little further away, immediately moves into action.

Lizardman's children also see how Zozo and Ray are, even if they don't know the language, and rush up from the lake to the sword screen of Zozo, who tells them to get up from the lake, and run out toward the tower of birth.

With such a sight on the side, Ray gives instructions that whatever happens to Zozo can be dealt with immediately, and rides Seto and flies over the lake.

When it is easier to see from the sky than from the shore, the behavior is judged to be so.

I thought so and it was Ceto flying over the lake and Ray spanning its back, but from what I've seen from above it doesn't seem like there's anything in particular.... At least that's what I thought at first.

"Grrrrrrrr!"

Fly over the sky, then a few minutes.

Unexpectedly Seto squeaks sharply.

At first Ray couldn't even understand what the hell Ceto was on guard against.

Fortunately, however, it is unclear whether I can describe it as…, but I immediately understood why.

Something translucent came out of the lake.

It has also grown as if it reached Seto, which is about 100 meters in altitude, so there's no way Ray wouldn't notice it either.

translucent...... that's one, two, three bottles of something to describe even with the water tentacles...... ultimately, ten or more bottles.

They were stretching from the surface of the lake.

"Seto, I thought you were in danger, was that it?

"Gru!"

Seto answers Ray's call and crushes the tentacles that have been stretching toward him with a blow to the forefoot, not just saying they followed.

Sometimes I guess Seto's blow was powerful, but more than that, the water tentacles weren't such a strong substitute.

"Brittle."

"Gru."

To Ray's whining, Seto agrees with it, throbbing briefly.

Nevertheless, even with brittle tentacles, that number is quite high.

Until earlier, there were about ten, but now there are more than thirty, and the number is even higher.

As far as that goes, Ray doesn't even understand how many tentacles the hell will be. I can't... I didn't even want to think about what would happen if I could touch that tentacle.

Though tentacles to the extent that they can be destroyed without hesitation, it also seems to me that tentacles have sufficient force to that extent.

If so, it is definitely the best choice to destroy it before the tentacles actually touch you.

Flying slaughter!

Remaining across Seto's back, Ray wields the death size removed from the mistering, skipping the flying slash and cutting the tentacles.

Again, as Ray expected, its tentacles are brittle.

Ray's unleashed flying slash cuts one of the tentacles slightly, and still cuts another tentacle behind the cut tentacle without showing how it weakened, and still cuts the next tentacle without weakening…

Flying slaughter is the effect of a level of five, which is extremely powerful compared to before it.

A characteristic of Warcraft is that when the skill level reaches five, the performance of that skill jumps.

Flying slaughter is also making it more powerful, but I still didn't think I could imitate cutting my tentacles so lightly.

(I mean, isn't this tentacle about tying your opponent up and capturing him, but capturing him in some other way? No, this is how I'm attacking you in the first place, but I can't believe there's actually no hostility...)

It was Ray who thought about it just a little bit, but he immediately releases the Flying Slash to deny his own thoughts.

The tentacles present around us and Seto are undoubtedly toward us...... no, thinking ahead of the tentacles, they are stretching toward Seto, not Ray.

Neither does Ray know how this tentacle perceives the opponent's location.

But only the fact that the tentacles were after Ceto was an unmistakable fact.

I don't think Ray would be friendly with someone like that.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

At the same time that Seto sounds, many arrows of wind are created around it, firing simultaneously.

The unleashed wind arrows easily crush the tentacles.

Other than that, Seto uses dirt arrows, ice arrows, and shock demon eyes to destroy tentacles one after another.

Among other things, it would have been firebraces.

The firebrace released by Seto's couch opens, which is what brings together and burns more than ten tentacles.

(Will I use the magic of flames to burn my tentacles at once, too? No, but given the current situation, my magic will damage the lake as well)

While flying slashes are used, approaching tentacles are cut and crushed using Death Size and Dusk Spears.

Ray doesn't know what the hell will happen if you irritate poorly here than it is a lake that has just metastasized.

That's not necessarily how bad Ray's magic can be cut off and the tower of birth that exists near the lake won't be fatally damaged.

Large quantities of Lizardman eggs are still resting in the tower of birth.

If the Tower of Birth were to fall, the possibility could not be denied that all the worst eggs would be destroyed.

If it did, it wouldn't be very but Lizardman wouldn't allow Ray.

If you are a faithful zozozo to Ray, or you may forgive me.

At least not least, Gaga, who is currently in the position of a friend with Ray, is not surprised to hang out to kill Ray.

"Seto, it'll take a while, but we'll do our best until the Lord of these tentacles gives up"

"Gru!"

To Ray's word, leave it to me! and a ringing ceto.

To such a ceto, Ray groans small that it's not bad.

(Still, the eyeballs I fought that winter also had tentacles, but again this time tentacles? I don't know... I'm weirdly too fond of tentacles?

Could it be that we will continue to fight monsters with tentacles every time we have something? and attacking with a slightly unpleasant feeling, a dozen minutes.

During all that time, the tentacles were never shown to diminish, even though they were severed and continued to be destroyed, and on the contrary, there were even more.

If I stay like this, I'll be fine now, but I'll be out of strength one day.

The moment I thought so, my tentacles, which were inadvertently coming out of the water, went back into the lake at the same time.

"Huh?"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

Ray and Seto all raise their voices of doubt.

The battle now, it was the Rays who were winning, but still the tentacles that extended were troublesome opponents.

I didn't know what abilities he had, but if he still kept fighting like that, one day he would have known what he was capable of.... with our own bodies.

In the worst case scenario, you just have to run off the top of the lake, but then there's the possibility of damage to faces like Lizardman, Adventurers, and Knights near the lake.

Given the circumstances around it, Ray and Seto still... no, the tentacles are after Seto, so Seto needed to keep fighting over the lake like this... for some reason, the other side abandoned the enduring battle and put the tentacles back in the lake.

But Ray and Seto's doubts about the tentacles' behavior can be solved immediately.

Because something huge came up on the water.

It is as translucent as a tentacle.

As far as the exterior is concerned, an elliptical presence of such size that it can be described as translucent and a little mountain or hill.

"... slime?

Yes, words leak out of Ray's mouth.

In fact, that usually has the same look as the slime Ray knows if he doesn't even think about the size.

However, it was its size that was so obviously different from normal slime that it was so overwhelming that it was not comparable.

That's enough to be ridiculous to think about when you think about how much of a regular slime would be the size of a slime at the end of Ray's gaze.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Don't let Slime alarm you even with your opponent, or yes, encourage Ray to be vigilant while Seto rattles his throat.

Ray nods at Ceto like that and speaks out that it's okay.

I had no intention of insulting such an opponent any more than Seto was an opponent strong enough to require vigilance.

"Anyway, they're not the ones who talk and know, unlike the Zozos, more than they've attacked us.... No, Zozo came at first without listening to us."

To Ray's whining words, Seto rang his throat...... and waited for his opponent's actions while allowing the giant slime to deal with whatever action he was going to take next.
