Legend

Dragonias' body was spread all over the meadow.
Naturally, it was hard to collect it just Ray, but the Centaurs who saw it begin to collect the bodies of nature and Dragonias to where Ray is.
"Sorry."
"No."
He brought me the body of Dragonias, still young - still looking older than Ray - to say thank you to Centaur.
Centaur answers that while he seems happy to hear it.
If you try Centaur, it's a vicious named Dragonias... that's exactly what Ray deserved to be respected for showing the strength to overwhelm the opponents who drove themselves this far.
Even if the opponent is not a centaur and has only two legs, it doesn't bother me to that extent if it has that strength.
I couldn't be happier because they said thank you to me like that.
The bodies of Dragonias brought by the other Centaurs will also be stored by Ray in Mystering next.
Dorat sees that coming from a remote location.
The fact that I don't care about the existence of Ray hasn't changed since I first met him.
But still, it was an unmistakable fact that if we could show that strength, we would not ignore it.
Nevertheless, I am not going to do this with Ray by force any more than I have been shown so much power.
If you fought with force, because you understand that it was you who would lose.
Also...... Dorat himself never wanted to admit it, but there is one side to it that he directly confirmed Ray's strength and acknowledged his prowess.
The same goes for those who are currently around the drat.
Nevertheless, when it comes to how they all felt about Ray, it's another story.
Some of them look at Ray's power up close and still don't understand it.
If you try to be many, you have no idea what such an opponent is thinking.
I don't understand it, but that's why I definitely couldn't imitate abandoning it more than being one of them.
"Mr. Drut, can you leave a guy like that Ray like that!?
That's why even those who speak such nonsense do not imitate abandonment.
In this situation, if we want to get rid of Ray, that's what we get rid of.
Dorat stares at the opponent in frustration as to why he doesn't know that much.
However, the stared opponent does not know why he is seen with such a gaze, and opens his mouth in confusion.
"D, Mr. Dorat?
"An idiot. Try to get a better idea of what's going on around you. Try being hostile with Ray in the current situation. If we do anything wrong, we'll be kicked out of the settlement."
"No!?
The man Ray said he didn't like, he wanted to hear Dorat's words and say anything big... but if he sees those around him nodding to agree with Dorat, he won't be able to say anything more.
In fact, no one would want to antagonize Ray in Centaur on this occasion.
I'd like to fight...... some might want to give it an arm test, but that's just a story about respecting Ray's prowess and not wanting to be hostile.
Even those in the settlement will not know what happened outside the settlement, but nevertheless some of the burning hell that Ray created must have been visible from within the settlement.
Also, if you hear from those who actually took part in the fight, no one tries to exclude you even if you have something to respect and appreciate about Ray... not translated, but it would really be a minority.
Even those people would never want to be hostile to Ray.
"Besides. We were able to exterminate Dragonias today, but given the number of Dragonias, only some of them were really defeated today. That's the kind of unit that's been prominent in the advance party."
"It's..."
In the words of Dorat, those around him also give a serious look.
Dragonius is superior to Centaur in terms of his ability as an individual but also superior to Centaur in terms of his number.
No, Centaur may have been more at first, but the Centaur side was greatly reduced in number by the battle over the meadows.
That's how the Centaur that survived came together, because it's that settlement.
(If I can, I'd like the other settlements that still survive to rendezvous...... that would be difficult)
Drut sighs as he looks at the other centaurs around him.
The centaurs present in this meadow are mostly gathered in this settlement.
But that's most, not all.
In a handful of settlements, some seem to know nothing about Dragonias, while others, like those in settlements that have been destroyed by Dragonias so far, believe that they can win even if they fight Dragonias from the front.
Regardless of the former, no matter how much the latter persuades you, you cannot realise the true strength, fear and heterogeneity of Dragonias unless you actually fight for yourself.
"Mr. Drut?
"No, it's nothing. I think we might want to move the location of the settlement."
"But you destroyed all the dragonias you attacked, didn't you? So you're not going to tell Dragonias about this settlement?
"I don't know. Indeed, Ray's magic was powerful. But given Dragonias' abilities, some individuals may have survived"
That was an undeniable fact.
I couldn't deny Drat's words because I actually have experience fighting Dragonias.
"Drut"
And a voice that can be hung on such a drat.
Dorat, who turned his gaze to those who spoke, gives a grumpy look.
I was there because it was Zai.
For Dorat, Zai can be called a rival.
No, I have a deeper and stronger antagonism than the word competitors, to be exact.
So while we're at it, we often act together when we fight. … which makes Dorat hold an extra strong antagonism.
"What can I do for you, Zai"
"It's time to go back to the settlement. We need to report this to the chief or your wife."
To the words, Dorat nods silently.
Myself and Zai. Despite being almost mutually reinforcing in terms of strength, people gather around Zai.
People gather around themselves too, but there are never many of them who are competent.
Also close to a strong man named Ray is Zai.
This current situation was by no means acceptable to Dorat
... Nevertheless, if it was Drat who first met Ray, it is likely that the Centaurs had made an enemy named Ray besides Dragonias.
A stranger...... if that also put a two-legged opponent in front of him, he wouldn't have chosen the option of treating him amicably if he was a drat.
Though, Dorat is also a leading warrior.
Ray's prowess is well understood, and in that sense, if he found Ray, it's likely that he was walking away without imitating what he was dealing with.
"When we get back to the settlement, we're going to discuss what's coming. Drut, join us."
"Okay."
Watching Dorat snort, Zai walks away from the spot.
They were two people who were never friendly, but still decided that there would never be more to not participate in the discussion than they nodded in this situation.
"Hmm."
He was such a drat pointing a gaze at Zai's back that he didn't seem to care, but I know he can't afford a full-fledged break-up in front of the overwhelming threat of Dragonias.
Not to mention that now two legs of a vicious monster named Ray are also cooperating with Zai.
"We're going back to the settlement. Whatever we're gonna do, we need to report this case to everyone first."
That's what he said, and Dorat took the scatter and returned to the settlement.
"Dragonias is extinct! The settlement is safe now!
Zai screams, but there are many like him who seems happy to hear the words, and half-heartedly...... no, two and eight doubts.
Those gathered in this settlement are those who were destroyed by Dragonias.
That's why I knew how strong Dragonias was.
There is no reason for those alone to believe so honestly that they were told that they had exterminated Dragonias.
I guess Zai also understood the thoughts of such people.
Zai turns his gaze and opens his mouth to Ray and Seto, who were watching things a little further away.
"My new friend, Ray. Two legs, but its strength is real. Even in this settlement, many people could see the scorching hell?
To that word, all the Centaurs who were in the settlement turn their gaze to Ray and Seto.
However, the colour of suspicion is intense in its gaze.
(this settlement...... no, it may just be the Centaur tribe, but they seem to recognize that fewer legs are weak)
Since it has been said that there are two or two legs scattered so far, I am able to predict as much as that as Ray.
So I had the thought that I couldn't help but look at things like this now.
As for those who participated in the battle at least as little as they experienced, there would be no doubt about Ray's prowess, so we just need to earn the trust of those who were in the settlement from now on.
I want to gather information on Anastasia and Fana as soon as possible, so it would be helpful if they came as soon as possible.
"It's a lie!
And, inadvertently, such a voice goes up.
Lies? And when Ray... and the others turned their gaze to those who spoke, it was someone who looked familiar to Ray as well.
One of Dorat's surroundings continues his words as he points to Ray.
"That's him! That's what brought Dragonias here!
The words surprise those who were listening.
Why did Dragonias come here?
And why Ray conveniently was there.
It's actually only a product of coincidence, but it's not strange to believe the word that Ray called Dragonias if you try to be the one who knows nothing.
"Hey, now..."
"No, but can two legs call Dragonias, or manipulate him?
"Hey, Mom. That guy killed my dad?
Such a voice rises from nowhere and spreads instantly...
"I'm kidding!
"Around!"
A fist waved with that voice punches the man who said so when Ray calls Dragonias.
Was it a pretty powerful blow, or if you got hit, blow it up and roll down the ground.
And I look up... and when I know who hit me, I yell like, "Why imitate me like that?"
"Mr. Drut, why!
To that word, Dorat says nothing.
... No, not exactly saying anything, I can't.
If you open your mouth here and now, that's for sure what you're going to do to curse the man in front of you from the bottom of your heart.
But this settlement is pretty dangerous right now.
If we imitated that in such a way, that was even the possibility that the settlement itself would cease to stand.
That's what I think, Drut, trying to somehow contain the anger that's inside me.
Those around them don't know what the hell happened and what happened to them.
If you think one of your buddies suddenly blamed his two-legged opponent, the next moment he was beaten up by a drat, so that would be natural, too.
"Those two legs... Ray, he certainly doesn't care. But I risked my life for this settlement. You can say that this time Dragonias almost defeated Ray on his own. Saving this settlement isn't too much to say it's Ray"
"So! The man looks great on two legs! Gu Hu!"
"Who said I could open my mouth!?
It is common for feet to be three to five times more powerful than arms.
There are, of course, individual differences there, as well as racial differences.
If it is also a centaur with the body of a horse that specializes in running, how much is the power of its feet?
And you wouldn't know exactly how powerful it is when you're kicked with the power of that leg, unless that's the one who got kicked.
... No, if you're looking at it too, if you see a presence called Centaur blow up, you can predict how powerful it is.
"Without Ray, I wouldn't have been able to protect this settlement... not to say. But without Ray, the settlement couldn't have been intact. Didn't you!?
That's how the guy who got kicked out couldn't say anything to the druts who screamed.
