Legend

Dragonias is here.

At the same time that word resonates with the settlement, the condition of the settlement changes.

Many, such as women and children and the elderly, looked anxious.

Contrary to these people, some are making their wars expensive.

Zai and his companions on Ray's side are also such faces.

But those in the settlement understood what dragonias was and seemed to know what was going to happen, but Ray and Seto were different.

No, Ray could understand that there's going to be a fight, but I don't understand what dragonias is.

(From the name Dragonias, like a dragon relationship? Because the problem with this settlement was about the dragon?

Even anticipating that from the sound of the name, isn't this a great opportunity in a way? The thought is in Ray.

As for Ray, if he could, he needed to raise his reputation in order to gather all kinds of information in this settlement... and to keep people like Dorat from getting involved for crappy reasons.

In that sense, the arrival of the existence of Dragonias is by no means a bad development for Ray.

Although it would never be an interesting development for this settlement.

"Dragonias? What the hell happened?

"The enemy."

The only thing that gets out of Zai's mouth is that one word.

And while you're at it, there's a very abominable color to the word.

That's how I feel if there's someone named Dragonias in front of me, it's not weird to kill him instantly.

"An enemy.... That seems to be why this settlement has grown so much."

……

It is silence that Zai returns to Ray's words.

But it was obvious without having to think about what that silence meant.

After all, as Ray predicted, Centaur is by no means a hegemonic species in this world.

Of course, as far as Zai, Drut, and many other Centaurs are concerned, I'm pretty sure they're a powerful species.

(So what's possible is that people like Dragonias have recently come to this meadow, and Centaur territory... or are they occupying the sphere of activity?

Ray with such doubts, but things will go on in that short time.

"Keep animals like sheep, goats and cows calm so they don't break out!

"Women and children prepare for immediate evacuation!

That's how many men scream as they run through the settlement with the quickness characteristic of Centaur.

Those who hear the voice will do what they have to do, all in fear.

Still a little kid...... that's what I talked to Ray about earlier. Even Centaur, who seems to be the same age or younger, did what he had to do each.

(It's not like there's no one confused. But still, as far as this goes, you can assume the whole settlement is calm enough)

A glimpse of such a Centaur settlement, Ray opens his mouth with his gaze towards Zai.

"Well, shall we go too? I don't know what the hell kind of guy attacked me, but it's decided I can repel more than I can."

"Hey......"

To Ray's words, Zai tries to say something.

As for Zai, Ray didn't want Ray to get involved in this one if he could, more than he didn't get involved in it.

But Ray doesn't just say if he knows how Zai feels or anything like that, but he checks with Seto to see what's going on around him and moves on to those with armed Centaurs on their way.

Nothing, Ray, it was an honest feeling that Zai didn't have to care that much more than he wasn't trying to fight for this settlement without any aim.

"Never mind. I'm not doing this for nothing either. Only because it's good for me, give me a hand."

……

I'm not sure if I believe Ray's words...... eventually, Zai nods.

"Okay, that's fine. But there aren't many rewards you can offer."

"Oh, that's okay"

Ningro, for Ray, it was unexpected in itself that he would be rewarded.

But I don't know how long Ray will be here.

Beyond that, if there was any money in circulation around here, that would have been of great benefit to Ray as well.

(If I could have some rare material, Grimm would be happy with it)

Ray can be in this world because the holes connected to this world are fixed by Grimm is huge.

If there was anything more Grimm would be happy with than that, I wanted to get as much as I could.

(I don't know what a dragonias is, but I wish it could be a monster or something. I'm talking about Grimm, so I'd be happy to study it if I were a monster from another world)

Another curious grime in a different way than Anastasia.

I don't even know if the existence of Dragonias is a monster, so I guess it doesn't make sense to think about it at this point.

"Zai, we're going to fight together, and you tell me what it's like to be a dragonias"

"Those people... they're invaders"

Bitter, that's Zai squeaking as if he could bite his back teeth off.

The word isn't hard for Ray to predict what Zai thinks either.

"The invader? Up until now around here...... you weren't in the meadows?

"It will. It's been coming for a while now."

How long ago was that exactly?

I didn't think so, but I can't ask any more than I don't know what calendar is used in this world.

I didn't think it would be the season, but I don't know if there are four seasons in this world and in this meadow.

"So, what is Dragonias' invasion? You keep livestock over there in the meadows, too?

If there are people who are going to invade in this meadow, isn't that why there are people who need an area called the meadow?

And it is still to the livestock that we need meadows...... are we not in need of meadow grass as bait for sheep and goats, pigs, cattle and horses?

That's what I thought, but Ray's predictions are denied by Zai.

"No, we're what they want."

"... us?

Zai nods at Ray's words asking him to repeat.

"That's right. Dragonias is a carnivore. As bait, they crave the livestock we keep."

Ray agrees with Zai's explanation.

Because of the word "we," I thought maybe Dragonias was targeting Centaur as well.

(In this case, I guess it's right that it's exactly the livestock we keep)

While I think so, I decide that as far as how things are going now I shouldn't say anything about the matter, and I encourage you to get ahead of the conversation.

"But whether we want livestock or not, then we don't have to bother attacking this settlement, why don't we just keep our own livestock? Fortunately, this is a meadow. You don't have trouble baiting."

"I agree, and I made that suggestion over there. But... they don't imitate what they grow on their own, and they recognize that they take it from others as a honorable thing."

"It's... again... I mean bandits"

Ray's perception is that such people are just bandits.

And if their opponents were bandits, they'd be motivated only by Ray, also known as the bandit eater.

"Wait. Unfortunately, Dragonias and the others have a bandit-like side, but not a bandit."

"... why? You're gonna take it forcefully with your powers, aren't you? Then I don't think it's weird to call me a bandit."

With that said, Ray realizes the word bandit made sense.

(Oddly enough, the meaning of the word makes sense. What the hell is going on with this? Could it be that... there were Japanese people in this world in the past, or something like that?

I doubt that, but now I decide I'll have something to think about before it, and I urge Zai to get ahead of the story.

"Bandits take away expensive substitutes, or women, other than food. But all Dragonius and the others are taking away is food."

"... Really?

The moment I hear that word, the motivation that was in Ray falls, albeit somewhat.

Ray has a hobby for bandit hunting, partly because it makes more money efficiently.

One way or another, a magic item is more of a purpose.

A bandit attacks a merchant, and Ray attacks such a bandit to obtain the magic item the merchant had.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Ray is intentionally causing merchants to attack, it's just a coincidence in that form.

"I mean, if we defeat the Dragonias, can't we get some kind of treasure? Well, I don't know what happens around here if you take down a bandit."

"Right. When it comes to what you dare to gain... it would be the land that Dragonias and the others ruled. Most of the creatures living in the land have been eaten and killed by Dragonias."

"It's also... greed everywhere, you guys are loyal to your appetite"

"Oh, that's why the food that exists on the spot eats everything, and if we run out of food, we go to the next place"

"So the next thing Dragonias saw, it was here."

To Ray's words, Zai nods with a serious look.

With such a look at Zai, I was also convinced as to why so many Centaurs existed in this settlement.

I mean, I guess Centaur, already attacked by Dragonias and fleeing, assembled here.

(So that's how Dorat behaved, too?... although it's quite possible that he had that personality from the start)

As far as Zai's story is concerned, Centaur was the strongest being in this meadow.

But many settlements were devastated by Dragonias… I mean, it didn't bother Drat that a stronger presence appeared than Centaur.

That's why I thought it was an attitude, but it's not strange.

Nevertheless, there is no need for Ray to take that into account.

"Anyway, all you have to do is defeat Dragonias and them, right?

"... right. But Dragonias is always hungry. That's what makes me completely unsatisfied with how much I eat. Then the body is big, and one person eats a lot."

"Wow..."

It is understandable that there is more to eat than being a giant body.

But as such... I can say from Ray's point of view, how much food does Centaur need to keep eating in large numbers, without getting satisfied, that he describes his body as big?

With that talk, Ray and Seto, Zai, and then Zai's people arrive outside the settlement.

Already outside the settlement, the men of Centaur... no, all those who could fight, even women, were gathered there.

Ray, who gazed in the direction the Centaurs were looking at, sees numerous earthquakes approaching.

I don't know exactly what Dragonias looks like with that earthly smoke.

But if you look at the look on the faces of the Centaurs around you, it's clear that Dragonias is never the person you can afford to manage.

Zai, who had explained a lot to Ray until he got here, is also looking at earthsmokers now with a serious look.

"Well.... Zai, for once, you don't talk to Dragonias, do you?

What the hell are you saying to Ray? It was Zai pointing his gaze at things like that, but you remembered that Ray was negligent about things around here, nodding.

"That's right. They don't use words... no, considering they communicate with their own ringing voice, that might be the word. But I can't communicate with you."

"Right. One more thing. If the meadow burns or something, is there a negative effect on this settlement?

"Yes, but it would be trivial compared to the damage it takes from Dragonias. Worst of all, we just have to move from settlement to settlement."

After taking that confirmation, I take the Death Size out of Mystering and start casting spells.

"O flame, show in it the destruction, which is one of the things which thou shalt be, that thou mayest burn everything down, extinguish and extinguish. Bring great destruction, and with it, that is, sacrifice to a new regeneration '

Ray's magic creates a fireball condensed by Ray's magic, surrounded by...... no, Ray activates the magic while under the gaze of everyone nearby Centaur.

"Burning Fire!

With that word, the fireball flies toward those with earthen smoke.

Quite a distance away, but still, the fireball kept flying... eventually creating a scorching hell with the explosion.
