Ray was investigating Whisp in underground space with Anastasia, but there's so much more to be done, so I'll be back on the spot.

By strong curiosity, I was also worried as Ray if I didn't do a strange imitation of Whisp.

But Anastasia said she could restrain herself for a few days or so, so that's the form she believed in.

... but that doesn't mean I could really believe it.

But there's nothing I can do about it more than Ray currently has a lot to do.

"That's what I mean, I knew you needed an assistant.... I hope you don't pick strange assistants."

"Gru?"

To Ray's soliloquy on his back, what happened to Seto, who was going through Trent's woods? and turn back.

While turning back, but in the woods, traveling to sew trees but not slowing down, would be due to Seto's high abilities.

Most of all, I don't think Seto is particularly conscious of that extent.

"No, it's nothing. I just thought this was going to be a lot of trouble."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Ringing my throat so that I don't know how to give it back to Ray.

With such a stroke of Ceto, I was advancing through the forest of Trent... Ceto, who was delighted to be stroked by Ray in the neck, accidentally turns his gaze toward who he is going.

"Grr!"

Look forward, Seto squeaking sharply.

A few moments late for such Ceto's reaction, Ray also turned his sharp gaze forward.

It was not so far from Ray and Seto that we sensed that the battle was currently taking place.

Ray says nothing and slaps Seto's back gently.

That's all Seto understands what Ray wants to say, and he obviously runs faster than ever before.

Its appearance running amongst the trees growing in the Trento woods is not strange to recognize in the wind that if ordinary people saw it they could only see a black shadow for a moment......

Running at such a rate through a large number of trees is normally only suicidal.

But in Seto's case, he said it had nothing to do with that, so he runs, runs, runs in the woods.

Even if there is a bush, he breaks it forcefully, and he plunges in between the trees and the trees, and pulls a thousand pieces.

That's how I kept running for about twenty seconds...... eventually I just broke through the bush in front of me and arrived on the battlefield.

What was happening there was the sight of horse monsters and adventurers fighting with bodies made of grass.

Seeing the Adventurers behind them, it was clear that they had not entered the Trent Forest on their own like the Adventurers who had previously been chased by Kobolt, but were taking on the escort of the Adventurers at the request of the Alliance.

Most importantly, many of the adventurers fighting know Ray's face.

More than that, Ray didn't have the option of not taking part in this fight.

... Before that, there was no option for Ray not to fight at a time when there was an unknown monster called a horse made of grass.

"Cover!

Ray takes Death Size and Dusk Spears out of Mystering as he jumps off Seto's back as he hits a grass horse.

As you can see the grass horse was fighting the adventurers, this place is quite spacious and has just enough space to wield a long object.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

A penetrating ceto releases a blow to the forefoot.

That's not just a blow, Seto's power crash skills.

Seto with numerous skills, but among them, the level of power crash is six and the highest of Seto's skills.

The blow causes a blow to the horse composed of grass… At the next moment, the body of the horse made of grass is dispersed and the grass is scattered around it.

"Gru!?

A bewildered Seto chirping.

The blow actually struck a grass horse.

But the blow was more overwhelming than Seto expected.

Why the hell? And Ceto shows you how to question that.

Nevertheless, this was Ray's reassurance that he had defeated his opponent...

"Not yet! He's still alive!

One of the adventurers screams sharply.

Though slightly smaller than Ceto, the grass horse is over half the size of two m.

More than half of such a body was lightly crushed by the blow of Seto's power crash, so when he died, yes Ray just thought that, watching the grass scattered around him move through the ground as if it were a creature, and half of his body to a horse that was gone, he pulls his face apart.

"Multiple slashes!

As it is, recovered by the grass that moves through the ground...... no, regenerate.

That's what Ray decided. The roll-out was a multiple slaughter.

With the skill of being able to unleash multiple slashes in one slash, Ray's current multiple slashes are level three.

In other words, besides the blow Ray wielded in Death Size, three slashes are unleashed on the target.

Not to mention that the weapon Ray activated the Multiple Slash is Death Size and the blade is about a metre long.

With the addition of three other such slaughters, a grass horse that exists only half the body, it is that which is easily slashed and torn.

Just as during Seto's power crash, the grass horse's body disperses with grass scattered around it.

I dispersed...

"Huh? There's a demon stone... no?

The grass horse has already completely collapsed, but there is no such thing as a demonic stone that monsters must have around them.

Could it have been a multiple slaughter that destroyed the Demon Stone and blew it up? It wasn't that I didn't have the thought, but if I destroyed the demonic stone, it would be odd if I didn't have the feeling in my hand that I was going to slash and tear it apart at all.

But, naturally, no such feeling existed in Ray's hands.

This would mean that the grass horse did not have a demon stone.

... but only if the demon stone rolls to the ground and it doesn't blow up and I haven't missed it.

"Huh? This monster... the lack of demonic stones means maybe..."

That's where I cut the word, Ray.

Ray remembered a very special being: a monster without a demonic stone.

Lakes of different worlds, which have been transferred by Whisp.

I had defeated the monsters that lived there, but there was no demon stone there.

Amenbo, lizard, fish with huge fangs.

There were no demonic stones among the bodies of those three monsters.

Regardless of the latter two types, the Amenbo monster blew his head up in the lake due to an attack that plunged from the sky, so there is no denying the possibility that the Demon Stone was on his head.

Anyway, so far the only monster in the lake that doesn't have demonic stones as far as Ray knows.

(I mean, did this monster come from the lake, too? If you say so, the grass that makes up your body doesn't feel like aquatic grass, not grass that grows in the woods.)

Then it comes down to where it came from, but only on the side of the birth tower are there escorts like the Rays near the lake.

And the lake is about the same size as Gilm.

In other words, if a monster lives in a lake rises to the ground, it will not be found unless it is near the Tower of Birth.

Isn't that how this grass horse is a monster that came out of the lake?

Ray expects that.

... at a point where there are no demon stones, that was like a decision though.

Nevertheless, there can be no denying the possibility that this monster was not the main body and that other monsters were collecting grass by any means to form a horse.

Most of the lay were confirmed as half-lake monsters.

At a time when it is aquatic plants that make up the body of the horse, the possibilities become intense.

(Multiple slashes, that's a user-friendly skill.... Most likely, Death Size is powerful just one blow, so if it releases a bunch of shots in a row, it will likely be overkill if it's not your opponent)

Once you have checked the surroundings, make sure there are no other similar grass horses, then return the Death Size and Dusk Spears to Mystering.

In the end, you didn't have a dusk spear turn up this time, with that in mind.

"Hey, Ray. You know something about the monster right now?

With Ray storing his weapon, I guess he really decided the fight was over. One of the adventurers approaches and asks.

But Ray shakes his neck beside such an adventurer in silence.

Talking about that monster naturally means we need to talk about the lake as well, but we can't talk about it any more than it's a secret about the lake.

Seeing how Ray was like that, the adventurer never asked more persistently if there was anything to feel.

(In the meantime, the same goes for Anastasia's assistant, but we also need to let them know that monsters of the lake are coming out of places other than near the birthday tower.... think about it, I guess it's natural)

Until now, I thought monsters would come out of the lake just by the side of the birth tower.

But if you try to be a monster, you don't have to do anything like that.

It's definitely safer to go up to land from a place without enemies than to go out of your way to a place where enemies are waiting for you.

If he was as fierce an enemy as a lizard monster who had attacked the Rays, it would have been different.

"Whatever... crusade proof sites, which do you think?

"No, that's..."

Including the point of slight deception, but the adventurer is bewildered by Ray's words.

The horse's body is really made of grass and there is no place that seems to be a crusade proof site.

If I were to dare make it a crusade proof site, it would be grass scattered all over the ground around it.

"Do you think this grass will be a crusade proof site? Or it constituted a body of monsters, or materials."

"Uh... I don't know. I know it's hard."

In fact, whatever the crusade proof site, it seemed to Ray to be useful as a material.

But he decided it was not tasty to spread the monster around more than likely to be a lake.

If the research found this grass to be a precious herb, it was certain that it would be a hassle later.

In order not to do so, it was necessary to speak to the Alliance first.

"It's an unknown monster, and I'll take this grass to the guild for now. Still, if you can buy materials like herbs, I'll pay you for them.... is that okay?

"I don't mind that. You guys can do that, can't you?

An adventurer nodded at Ray's words and asked the rest of his people, and they all said that was all right.

In the first place, it was ourselves who were struggling with enemies whose grass would soon gather to heal even if we attacked.

If the Alliance bought it as material after they helped it, they would give it a share, so no one would dislike it.

... If you're an adventurer with as many around you as you can, it's not strange to say that if that's what's in your interest, give me more money for selling materials, and in some cases, all of them.

But the adventurer who currently works in the Trent Forest is the one recommended by the Alliance.

One thing about the lake, the birth tower, and the emergence of high-ranking monsters like Cerberus, I guess, is also affecting.

Those who are highly skilled as adventurers and have no personality problems at the same time.

I guess they don't cause extra problems because they are carefully selected.

Most of all, if you know the power of Ray, it's normal not to imitate such an opponent.

"Well, that's the thing, don't collect this.... Though it seems pretty hard to collect"

The grass that comprised the horse's body is scattered quite extensively by the attacks of Seto and Ray.

It's pretty hard to collect that, and that's why it's not weird that Ray wants to be a pain in the ass.

I guess I didn't see Ray like that. The adventurers decided to help pick up the scattered grass...

"Huh? That? Is this grass different?

There were many who strayed that way.

It was grass like aquatic grass that once constituted the body of a horse, but many had no idea the difference around it.

In addition, the forest of Trento today is full of greenery due to the fact that it is spring.

Then, naturally, it was difficult for some to find the grass that constituted the body of the horse, dispersed in the grass that was growing around them.

As a result, those accustomed to the work of their hands would work together to find grass… in about twenty minutes, they would end up collecting more or less grass.
