Duh, and.
Make that noise and the last dragonias fall to the ground.
I don't have an upper body, probably because it was amputated by Ray.
"Phew.... That's a paragraph for now. I didn't think I'd get this far."
Whimpering Ray pays for the blood that was on the Death Size blade.
So now, again, Ray understands that Dragonias' blood is the same red as his own.
(Is that it? But... No way, blood is red because the color of the scales is red, or something like that, right?
It's not surprising that there was somehow such a possibility just for the existence of a alien named Dragonias.
Either way, this is a different world, not Elgin.
I think so, but when I look at the injured Centaur, the blood is red, so I reconsider that perhaps the color of the blood is red in this world as well.
"Gru."
Turning his gaze to such a squeal, there was a figure of Seto, as expected.
He says he defeated the alien being named Dragonias, but he doesn't look tired of Seto.
Nor, as a matter of course, did there exist any kind of injury.
"Seto, you're tired. You've done your best. Thanks to you, it looks like there are no dead people in Centaur.... some seriously injured guys though"
Basically, both Ray and Seto were intruding toward those whose Centaur side was in danger as they battled Dragonias.
That's why the seriously wounded didn't show up dead.
"Grrrrrrrr"
To Ray's word, Seto's fine, I'll take care of it! and honking.
I guess if I tried Ceto, I wouldn't have had that much trouble fighting Dragonias either.
As far as Ceto's concerned, he doesn't look injured.
Relieved by that, Ray strokes Seto.
That's how minutes go by...... Ray detects signs that someone is approaching him as Seto enjoys being stroked by Ray.
Turning to that sign, at the end of his gaze was a complicated... a really complicated look on his face, a figure of Zai and a figure of a drut that looked abominable.
If we tried Zai, Ray would have used magic to defeat most of the dragonias, and we wanted to defeat the remaining red dragonias with our own hands if we could.
So it's not like there's anything I can think of against Ray, who's been forced into that fight half way.
But what the hell would have happened if Ray hadn't been here?
In this battle, that is what miraculously no one died on the Centaur side.
That's nothing but thanks to Ray.
If Ray hadn't been here, the settlement could have been devastated by the raids in Dragonias.... No, it would almost certainly have been devastated.
With that in mind, there's no way I can emulate my dissatisfaction here towards Ray.
"Thank God."
What Zai ultimately said was a word of gratitude.
Dorat on Zai's side, I guess, has some thoughts about Ray, but he doesn't say anything extra in this situation.
I guess they decided they couldn't complain about how much pride they trampled on Ray for moving to help them.
In fact, if you speak of dissatisfaction here, you can't deny it if you ask if you were willing to destroy your family, your friends, and your settlement for the sake of pride.
... In that respect, Zai, who had been in contact with Ray longer than Drat, doesn't have that much separation against Ray.
If you ask me if the situation is really interesting or not, naturally it's not.
"You're safe, too. Best of all.... So for once, what are you guys gonna do with Dragonias' body?
"... what do we do?
Zai tilts his neck in such a way that he doesn't know what Ray's words mean.
Zai also turns his gaze to the neighboring Dorat, but the only look he has returned for it is still a strange look.
(That?)
Ray wonders how those two look.
It was Ray's perception that the monsters he defeated would be made into food or material, and that if there were other ways to use them, it would be natural to use them.
... In Ray, Dragonias is already a perception of a monster, not a sub like Centaur.
It is also significant in this case that the appearance of Centaur is of the human form… the human upper body itself, whereas Dragonias is such as to have made Lizardman even more ferocious.
It is also significant in this case that instincts alone do not exist and conversations do not form.
That's why I asked Ray what he would do with Dragonias' body in the current situation.
But Zai and Drut are bewildered... they are evil to each other when Ray saw them before... No, just saying what Drut hated about Zai unilaterally, but gazing at each other.
In the meantime, Zai eventually opens his mouth.
"Leaving the body intact will have a negative impact. Just gather it and bake it?
"Is that the body of that giant dragonias you knocked down?
An individual who is more massive than any other dragonias.
Zai and Drut, who should be called the strong among the Centaurs, worked together, and besides, fought with the help of many Centaurs, with whom they finally won.
That's Ray's perception… it seems to be Dragonias' superior or rare species, given its perception in Elgin.
Beyond being such a being, I wanted to secure that body if I could as Ray.
(The Demon Stone... well, I don't know if there is one)
This world is more than a different world. It doesn't necessarily have demonic stones like the monsters Ray knows.
In fact, the monsters that inhabit the lake, which has been transferred next to the Trento forest, do not possess demonic stones.
Given the circumstances around it, it was necessary to examine and see if there were demonic stones in the monsters of this world as well.
That's why I craved Dragonias' body...
"That's right. What do you use it for, like, dead bodies? If this is an animal or a monster that looks more like it, there is a use for making it food even here."
Even if the appearance is very different, the shape of having Lizardman's upper body on the lower body of the lizard is similar to that of Centaur.
More than that, as a centaur, I had no desire to eat dragonias.
... Not to mention that if you eat Dragonias meat, if you do poorly, it can be something like being attacked by hunger like Dragonias and living on instinct alone.
"Then can I have Dragonias' body?
"That's... I don't think I mind anything else, and given the hassle of handling the body, it would be helpful to Ningro here... okay?
Ray nods that he has no problem with Zai's questioned gaze.
I don't know exactly what this dragonias will do for you.
But just being a monster of the other world would be a ceiling unknown value in Elgin, and a very interesting substitute for the researcher temperament Grimm.
More than that, as Ray, I have no objection to handing over Dragonias' body.
In the first place, Ray's ability to stay in this world is also due to Grimm's cooperation.
Had it not been for Grimm, the empty hole in this world would have already been closed and Ray would not have been able to come to this world.
Or it could have been the feather left behind by this world.
Given the circumstances around it, it was still natural to thank Grimm.
"Oh, of course. I know someone who's very enthusiastic about research. Give him Dragonias' body and we'll figure something out. In some cases, weapons and tools may be created that are effective in defeating Dragonias…"
"Is that true!?
That's what Zai screams before Ray says anything to the end.
Dorat, who was listening to Ray, also had a gaze to see if Ray's words were true.
That's not all.
Those who were around watching Ray and Zay and Dorat didn't know what Ray was talking about, but they are still gazing at Ray wondering if something had happened because Zay screamed.
Usually Zai, who looks strict and honest, rarely screams out loud like this.
That's why it's not strange to question things like what the hell happened.
Not to mention, Centaur is a family that honors strength.
However, it is not strange to see the magic of Ray or the sight of him fighting directly.
Some Centaurs have respect for their power...... no, they even have a sense of worship.
Or if this was just the first magic I used, I wouldn't have been respected so far.
Because Centaur seems to be a race where magic is hard to use, and I don't understand magic.
You can understand that the magic Ray used is awesome, but I don't know exactly how awesome that is.
In comparison, the battle that followed...... Ray's use of Death Size and Dusk Spears to fight Dragonias turned out to be extraordinary in its strength because there are a large number of Centaurs who fight without magic.
Also, Ray wasn't the only one who collected Centaur's gaze, so was Seto.
We beat our opponents so easily that they had difficulty winning one-on-one.
Because he is a proud centaur, he could not imitate the sight he saw with his own eyes in denial.
... As for Ray, it was something I did to gain trust from the Centaurs, but it wasn't as funny to be deeply loyal as Zozo.
Either way, Ray opens his mouth to make sure he doesn't mind his surrounding gaze.
"Just because it's possible, it's not absolutely possible. And... we need to find Anastasia and Fana."
Ray originally came to this world to find Anastasia and Fana.
Some thought it would be better to use this situation than it is.
(Or that you're not in the settlement of Centaur, which means maybe Dragonias is catching you, right? In that case, if you do poorly, you could be eaten and killed... no, Anastasia would seem to do something about it on her own)
Just elves, Anastasia, who specializes in spiritual magic.
Not as good as Marina, Ray also sees and knows with his own eyes that his spiritual magic skills are certain.
Nevertheless, it is also an unmistakable fact that, given the strength of the Dragonias and others, they cannot be completely relieved.
"So was that anastasia and fana? If we can find those two, we might be able to figure it out. Is that what you're saying?
"It's only, maybe. So. I'm not sure we can find something that works for Dragonias."
"I know. If you can still do something about Dragonias..."
"Do you think they can erode the meadows any more?"
Continue like Dorat throws up on Zai's words.
Try drat, Zai's presence doesn't bother me, and Zai brought him from nowhere like that... that doesn't bother Ray with two legs more either.
But still, compared to Dragonias, it's definitely a lot better.
Dragonias eat anything.
That's the animals and monsters in the meadows… and in some cases the plants.
In fact, we are getting reports that when some of the Centaurs went on reconnaissance to an area occupied by Dragonias, it was becoming what we should call a wilderness, not a meadow.
… even that information was obtained from those who managed to survive the majority of those who headed for reconnaissance were eaten and killed.
(Erosion)
Ray couldn't even understand the full meaning of the word, but seeing how dragonias hungry is, it's not a hard story to predict.
"Anyway, I can take Dragonias' body, right?
Zai nods at Ray asking him to confirm that he has no problem.
"If it's possible that we can break the status quo with Dragonias' body, there's no problem at all. In the first place, we're just gonna burn it and dispose of it."
"Then hurry up"
Ray touches the body, which was a little far away, and stores it in the misting.
I guess it's not because time has passed since I first saw it yet.
Whoever was watching Ray makes a sound of surprise, all together.
Such ambient reactions are familiar to Ray.
That's what I've been through more than I've ever been through, and without looking particularly concerned about it, I was going to store the pale dragonias' bodies in mysteries.
