"Hmm...... yeah. You're gonna be okay for now."

"Gru."

In the middle of the night, because he couldn't sleep a little, Ray, who had come out of the Tower of Birth with Seto, had come all the way to the center of the Trento Forest.

... Naturally the trip was on Ceto, but it is also known among the adventurers that Ceto's five senses are sharp, which is why Ray's gaze of dissatisfaction was turned from the adventurer who was on watch when he said he was taking Ceto.

Still, they can only be entrusted with the escort of the Tower of Birth, and many adventurers can take their watch for granted.

All I'm saying is that with Seto, I'd be somewhat out of my mind.

That's why we set our gaze on Ray taking Seto, but without Seto, we can watch ourselves.

Under such circumstances, Ray was thus coming with Seto to the central part of the Trento forest.

I was wondering if something was wrong, because of that thought.

The path leading to the underground space is invisible by the spiritual magic of the marina.

More than that, I don't have to worry... but still, considering Whisp, I wanted to make sure.

As far as I actually came to see this, there was nothing particularly wrong with it.

"Researchers are dispatched, adventurers...... no, I guess if the knights get to hold on to this place, they won't even have to come all the way out here to see it this way"

I made him a knight, not an adventurer, simply because knights pledge deeper loyalty to Dusker than adventurers.

For Dusker, what's important as someone who protects this place is that his strength is as well, but loyalty was more imperative.

Whisper is all that matters.

(sooner or later, I'm sure Master Dusker will come to see this place, but when the hell will that be?)

The same is true of the lake in that Dusker came to see it.

But this underground space, where Whisper is located, is definitely a place of great importance to Dusker.

You can't just come by carriage like you did when you went to see the lake, where it's more important than the lake.

This place needs to be kept out of sight whenever possible.

(When that happens, I figured Seto cage? No, Seto cages stand out in Seto cages)

If it is when you are flying, Seto cages have nothing to stand out for in their abilities.

But if you descend to the ground, I won't be able to use my ability to blend into the surrounding sights, and I'm really going to stand out.

Given the circumstances around here, we can't bring Dusker in a seto cage.

When that happened, there was still a way to get on a horse or something and not put on a escort... or only those who knew about Whisp as a starting point Ray would travel together as an escort and come all the way to this Trent forest.

That's the only thing Ray can come up with so far, though, but it's also true that it's hard if you actually ask me if I can do that.

"Gru?"

"No, it's nothing. I was just trying to figure out how to get Master Dusker here."

What's the matter with you? So Ray returns to Seto, who asks.

Then Seto will do it himself! and honking his throat.

If I tried Ceto, I guess that's just what I thought I wanted to do because Ray was in trouble.

(Well, as the Vihelas do a lot, if you do things like grab it on Seto's feet and fly, it doesn't matter if Seto's cage... but even if you put a life line on it, you can't let Master Dusker imitate you like that)

Dusker, who leads the Neutralists as Lord of the Guild, is irreplaceable.

Without Dusker, of course, someone would take over afterwards.

But if the person were asked if he could imitate like Dusker, he'd probably say he couldn't as Ray.

... maybe, but it was Ray's expectation that it would never be possible.

That's all Dusker is.

Ray is undoubtedly to blame for doing things such as hanging such a person on Seto's forefoot and moving him.

Dusker would also be blamed, but it would still be Ray who actually imitated that.

For those reasons, as Ray, there was no reason to do such an imitation.

"Sorry, Seto."

"Gru?"

When he strokes his head apologizing to Seto, Seto seems unable to understand why he was apologized for, squeaking his throat wondering.

Although, I like to be stroked in the head by Ray, so I didn't do anything in particular about it.

"Well, for now, there seems to be no abnormality here, and I'm going home... and that's what I was thinking"

Seto notices first, before Ray runs out to the end.

And a moment late Ray noticed.

Someone said... No, something was getting closer.

Normally, the person who attacked me would be a monster or something.

But if that were just a monster, it would not have been strange to abandon the idea of raiding Seto on the spot the moment he sensed his presence and flee the scene at first sight.

But even though the approaching monsters are already at a distance that is not strange to perceive Seto's presence, they never seem to leave the scene.

On the contrary, the speed of the signs of Ningro approaching also seemed to be increasing.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

What I heard was such a squeal.

From the sound of it, Ray could have predicted that he would probably be a werewolf monster.

But in that case, something strange happens.

Essentially, a werewolf monster is similar to an animal wolf and its habits, mostly acting in herds.

Nonetheless, there is only one roar I can hear right now.

And signs of coming closer. Again, just one.

It is abundantly possible that an individual expelled from the herd for any reason came to assault Ray and Seto hungry and somehow helpless.

But it also seemed like a roar full of war.

It's like you're looking for a fight yourself, not a cornered one...

"Wow, wow, wow!"

"Wow, wow!"

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

And the next thing I heard, there were three ringing noises.

There's one sign you're approaching, why? and take the Death Size and Dusk Spears out of Mystering while Ray has such doubts.

Seto also seems to have had no fun getting interrupted playing time with Ray, so he can deal with it whenever his enemies come, while waiting.

Then...... it was the giant dog monster who showed up trying to sew between the trees.

Yes, a monster with three faces with a huge dog.

Naturally, Ray knows the name of that monster.

"Cerberus, huh? If Seto finds out, he won't withdraw."

To be honest, the unexpected is what Ray felt when he saw Cerberus in front of him.

The size of the body is equal to that of Ceto.

Black hairs grow, but each one of them is long and sharp as a needle.

It was that the blow of a half-breed weapon would have the power to play with its hairs.

The three necks also stare at Seto and Ray with the exhalation of the flames glowing in the darkness of night, with a fierce look on their faces.

Rank B Monster, Cerberus.

However, it is said that its abilities are unlimited and close to rank A.

He has a very ferocious personality, and even if he deals with monsters of higher rank than himself, there's nothing like running away.

No, I'm even going to attack you as a Ning Luo Happy.

For Cerberus like that, Ray and Seto were definitely just the right opponents to bump the struggling heart that was in them.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow!"

Now the three necks bark at the same time… the roar signals the beginning of the battle.

Fighting Ray and Seto is Cerberus with three necks.

It's a two-to-one battle, but given the three necks, we can also judge it two-to-three.

Such Cerberus came to Ray to bite him with three necks.

I guess the reason I dealt with Ray, not Seto, is still the size of my body.

Ceto and Cerberus are both about three meters long.

Did you want to defeat your weak opponent first and later fight an opponent the same size as yourself named Seto, or did you think Ray was stronger than Seto?

Ray didn't know why around there, but if the opponent is going to attack you, that's not even what you wish for.

I've never fought Cerberus before and he's an unknown monster.

In other words, it is possible that the demon stone can be used to acquire skills through Warcraft.

No, considering it was a Rank B monster, you could have definitely mastered your skills.

"Flying slaughter!

A flying slash released from Death Size flies towards Cerberus.

Nevertheless, their opponent is a Rank B monster.

Neither does Ray think he can be defeated by a flying slash, and this blow is only a restraint.

Cerberus also lowers his posture while running, avoiding the flying slash lightly.

Lowering yourself does not change any speed of running, and leaps straight and the three necks peel their fangs at Ray with each fang.

If Cerberus had two necks, he could do something with both hands.

But Cerberus has three necks.

Right hand and left hand alone can't handle that attack.

"Normally, yeah!

Ray wields a magical death size.

The blow was heavy enough to blow Cerberus' body away.

Death sizes weighing 100 kg will weigh so little that Ray and Seto feel little weight only if they do.

By that blow, he punches one in the face... not a very bearable blow, even if he has the same body as Seto.

Cerberus blowing directly next to it.

Still looks like a Rank B monster, getting in shape when he bounces on the ground a few degrees while being blown away by Death Size.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Heading to Ray, all three necks rattle their throats for intimidation.

The sound of throat ringing itself is not much different from Ceto's, but it would be due to the emotions that are put in there. What I hear from Cerberus was that sound, like it wouldn't be strange for adventurers around there to tremble their bodies if they heard it.

"Come on. No way, that's not the end of the blow right now, is it?

Ray provoking, with a death-size and dusk spear.

Even if I don't know what Ray says, did Cerberus find out he was provoked, too, kicking the ground and jumping on Ray.

"Power slash!

"Gah!"

A power slash that increases the power of a single blow to the extreme.

That was powerful enough to blow up Cerberus, who was about three metres long.

Besides, it's the same thing that blew it up. But its power is completely different from the blow earlier.

Earlier, by bouncing several times to the ground, Cerberus was able to stop the movement, but this time with nothing like bouncing to the ground, that's when he blew straight to the ground and horizontally as if he had thrown even the ball, hit the growing tree and finally stopped the movement.

"Food...... eh!

That's how he hits a tree and heads to Cerberus, where he falls to the ground, and Ray throws a dusk spear on his left.

"Gaw!"

You must have noticed the spear thrown. When the neck in the middle of Cerberus squeaks sharply, he kicks the ground all at once from the fallen state to evade the attack on the spear of dusk.

But the move was also within expectations for Ray.

Ray, who threw the spear of dusk, had already packed his death-size with Cerberus at once.

That's how Ray packs his time with Cerberus, who hasn't completely rebuilt his posture yet, punctuates the ground with a spear of dusk back on hand.

It's one of the special abilities of a dusk spear: to put it back on hand just to remember.

That's how Ray stuffed the intermission, the mouth held by the head of the three necks opens at the same time, and the moment he sees a chill and a slight flame in the back of his throat, he activates his skills with force in his death-size gripping hand.

"Magic Shield!

Moments, shields of light that reveal themselves.

At the same time, a firebrace is thrown out simultaneously from the three mouths held by Cerberus.

Originally, I guess every person or so has as much power as they can easily burn.

Rank B monster, given that it is also a top ranked monster, that was natural.

But Magic Shield prevents any attack only once, but completely.

Even if it breaks through the magic shield for any reason, what Ray wears is a dragon robe made of dragon material.

To the extent that a Rank B monster is flaming, that is not the only way to apply a single scorch.

And where the firebrace disappeared and the magic shield was shattered, Ray stepped forward even more... slashing, he said.

A Death Size blow severed Cerberus' neck from all three.
