Legend

Midnight.

A full moon exists in the sky, illuminating the grasslands with a brilliant light.

The wind wasn't that strong, and I could say it was a great environment to mount exactly a night raid.

Ray calls out to the Zays in the pouring moonlight.

"Looks like the Dragonias went to bed, and it's time to move on to action. Using magic from here, there's a good chance the Dragonias will come this way. When it does, it tastes all kinds of bad."

The Zays have a remorseful look on Ray's words like that.

This was not to say that we regret Ray, but to say this to Ray that we regret our lack of strength.

... In fact, few can fight Dragonias one-on-one from the front.

Among those who have been chosen strong from within the settlement, to such an extent that Zai and Drut manage to fight one-on-one.

That's also a subtle thing if you ask me if I can beat Dragonias to such an extent that I can only fight.

In Centaur, where some places are mentally brittle, the Centaur side is still disadvantaged if you fight from the front, compared to dragonias such as those who are originally dominated by various physical abilities or starvation and eat and kill their opponents no matter what damage you suffer.

Given the circumstances around here, it's honest that Ray's words have to be followed.

Such thoughts of the Centaurs can be perceived by Ray as well.

Even though Centaur is a proud species.

It was only natural that Ray would defeat someone we couldn't help ourselves with, and there was something we felt impudent about.

... Still, if we were to choose between our pride and the safety of the settlement, we would have to choose the latter as Zai's or Dorat's position.

I knew that, and I came this far knowing everything... but if you still asked me if there was anything I could think of in Ray's words, of course there was.

Nevertheless, in the present circumstances, it makes no sense to say anything.

That would have been different if we had trained harder and been able to defeat Dragonias on our own.

"Okay. So, we just have to wait away and attack Ray's magically surviving dragonias, right?

Zai asks Ray as he pushes and kills the emotions inside him.

Ray nods at Zai's words as he strokes Seto.

"That's right. It's just... honestly, on that scale, even if you do damage with flames, some guys can't kill you. I just want you to prioritize that."

"Okay. I'll take care of you."

Ray's words were like telling you to deal with only the dying damaged Dragonias because you can't beat Dragonias with the red scales that would otherwise withstand Ray's magic, but Zay snorts honestly at the words.

Because we understand that we can't help but be told that in our current strengths.

... Though several people, including Dorat, had a regrettable look on their face.

"All right, then we'll start acting.... You won't have to worry about it, but don't imitate it like you're rushing into your enemies in a hurry?

I'll tell you that in a nutshell.

I didn't think Dragonias strength needed to worry that much more than the Centaurs knew better than that was Ray.

Still, I advised you just in case.

"I know. Faster than that, please."

Encouraged by Zai, Ray calls out to Seto, who was falling asleep, and rides on its back.

Instead of flying in the sky, he moves away from where the Zays are as he runs on the ground... eventually stopping his leg where he ran for about five minutes on Seto's leg.

"Okay, Seto. What I'm about to wake up with is a fire whirlwind that I've used several times before."

"Gru!"

I know! And a throat ringing ceto.

With such a stroke of Ceto, Ray wonders if we should have a fire whirlwind here.

The Dragonias will be surprised to see a sudden fire whirlwind inside their home base.

But it was midnight, and most of the dragonias were supposed to be asleep.

... There was a question as to whether he could sleep in a state dominated by hunger, but still most dragonias are definitely asleep from a place away.

(tens of thousands...? I didn't confirm it clearly, but that's probably how many dragonias there are)

There are tens of thousands of Dragonias who have just the power to fight unless one Centaur fights in large numbers.

If this force of war gets serious, that's what this meadow, instead, was Ray, who doesn't feel strange about everything in this world being eaten and killed, but it hasn't actually happened that far.

There seemed to be a lot of reasons and things going on around there, but it didn't change what Ray would do.

(Right. Should we make a fire whirlwind here and move it, after all, than the enemy has few confusing elements? Not that I can move it the way I want, but the Centaurs can get away with it without a problem... let's believe so)

Deciding so, when you take the death size out of the mistering, you see Seto again.

"Let's go."

"Gru."

After making sure Seto rattled his throat, Ray casts a spell.

"O flame, manifest thy burning power as a vortex."

Flames compressed with that spell.

Throw the flame a little further away.

"Swirling Fire"

A flaming tornado is created by landing about 100 meters away.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Next to such a ray, Seto uses his Tornado skills with his ringing voice to produce a tornado.

The tornado was created in the same place as the flaming tornado.

"Hands of the Wind"

Lay with Death Size in hand, then activate Wind Hand.

Stretch out the tentacles of the wind the moment the two tornadoes merge: the wind tornado and the flame tornado.

Flaming tornadoes and wind tornadoes.

The tornado of flames created by Ray's magic is more powerful.

It's expensive, but it's Ray's skilled wind hands that deal with it.

The hand of the wind stretching from the Death Size fuses those two… By the magic of Ray, the fused wind and the flaming tornado Fire Whirlwind grow explosively.

That's what slashes and rips everything with a wind blade and burns it down with flames...... to such a fire whirlwind.

"Ugh..."

The moment a fire whirlwind is created, intense hot winds strike Ray and Seto.

The fire whirlwind thus created eventually moves out.... as Ray aimed, towards the home of Dragonias.

"Phew.... Well, how does it work? No, do you have something to do before then? Seto, we're going to the sky."

"Gru."

I guess Seto also expected what Ray would say.

Quickly crouching, indicating riding towards Ray.

Seto, with such a ray on his back, rushes up into the sky with a few steps of help.

And... from above, the home of Dragonias was firmly reflected by the lights of the fire whirlwind.

Basically, I can't just build a house or a cabin for a dragonias dominated by hunger.

That's why I just fell asleep on the ground and slept, and I could see it well in the light of the fire whirlwind.

Of course, there are times when the moon floats in the sky without a cloud, and the fact that Ray and Seto have a good night's eye affects them.

(Don't you notice?... because you're acting on your instincts? No, if you live by your instincts, that's what you can do right away or move)

If it's moving by instinct, Ray thinks it's going to move as soon as he feels his life in danger, but Dragonias moves dull.

Still, I noticed some of the fire whirlwind movement, and I saw it moving.

Either way, I'm pretty sure it's lucky for Ray that he's moving dull.

Maybe it was possible that Dragonias' lower body was a lizard's body and his upper body just resembled Lizardman's that he couldn't move quickly to get out, but as Ray, he's only lucky.

While doing so, the fire whirlwind swallowed the dragonias.

At first a few, and a dozen...... eventually dozens.

Swallow and burn the dragonias one after the other.

"And now this too."

Ray, close to the fire whirlwind, throws one barrel after another, removed from the mistering.

Inside the barrel is a substitute that Ray has so far bought cheap from weapons stores and blacksmiths.

Inside are daggers and long swords with missing cuttings, and a variety of other blades.

Substitutes that those who come to the weapons store have thrown away weapons that they no longer use, or the failures of weapons made by blacksmiths… and other shards of blades collected for a variety of reasons.

Shards of such blades are swallowed by fire whirlwinds.

It becomes a sharp blade in a fire whirlwind, slashing and tearing apart Dragonias' body.

Alternatively, burn the body of Dragonias, which is nearby if the metal dissolved by the heat of the fire whirlwind blows up.

While doing that, the fire whirlwind gradually increased the damage it did to Dragonias.

That's what leaves nothing where the fire whirlwind passes as if to turn it off with an eraser.

"Yeah, the dragonias with the red scales are pretty damaging too."

Dragonias with red scales are certainly not burned by fire whirlwind flames.

But even though it's safe with the flames, it doesn't mean it's intact otherwise.

Ray slashes and rips his body with a fragment of a thrown blade, or he gets swallowed up by a fire whirlwind and hits hard with his buddy's body and his bones are broken by that shock... not as good as a flame, causing huge damage one after the other.

However, since the number of dragonias is a number, it is definitely heavily damaged by fire whirlwinds, but still not such damage that the entire dragonias will be devastated.

"Seto, get away from the fire whirlwind for a second. I want to make some more fire whirlwinds."

"Gru?"

Are you sure? And that's right, the throat ringing ceto.

Ray nods if he doesn't mind it.

If the enemy to be defeated was a human being, he would never need more than one fire whirlwind... but he still shouldn't have had to care that much.

But not in this case.

In the first place, Dragonias itself is powerful enough to be completely incomparable with ordinary people.

Now he's killing the Dragonias at a fair rate, but if he's a normal person, he's dead or not weird. Even if he takes damage, there are still Dragonias who survive. … although, of course, it is taking the damage it deserves.

But all that remains is a dragonias with a red scale that can withstand the flames, otherwise the dragonias are also dead about the flames.

But...... what would happen if the red scaled dragonias, who now manage to survive, were caught in the fire whirlwind again?

That was obvious without even thinking about it.

"... you're just a little tired"

Ray exhales, gazing from above Seto's back to the ground.

The number of fire whirlwinds currently raging around there is...... ten.

Indeed, there are ten tornadoes wrapped in flames, and furthermore, they store fragments of metal in them, and they come and go.

Touch it and you die.

Even if I stop by, I die of that heat.

Such fire whirlwinds exist in large numbers and are moving around.

On top of that, Ray, who created it for whatever reason, didn't know, but the fire whirlwinds don't fuse with each other when they hit each other, and they play each other.

That's what it's like to be a bagoma.

Dragonias and the others had already taken off their sleeping condition and were in a state of panic.

Naturally. Because with ten fire whirlwinds, that's not what you can get away with anywhere.

"Because you're dominated by hunger, for some reason, you don't seem to escape from a certain range.... Are you sure you're hungry?

Ten fire whirlwinds.

That would be a threat to despair if you tried Dragonias.

But still, it's not like there are walls around us, it's not like they're trapped.

Normally, if you are a dragonias close to the outside among the places where the fire whirlwind is moving around, you can escape from it.

Nonetheless, there are no dragonias trying to get out of that range, although they are confused within that range.

What the hell happened and did that happen?

I'm interested, but now it was better to annihilate Dragonias than my interests.

"Here we go, let's make it a little more busy."

With Death Size in your hand, Ray begins to cast a spell.

"O flame, using my magic as a source of strength, an arrow that burns everything down, like rain, like a storm, constantly pouring down"

Along with that spell there are numerous around Ray...... that's what produces arrows made of so many flames that you don't even like to count them.

That number, about five hundred.

Whoever sees it will feel nothing but despair.

With such flaming arrows floating around...... Ray activates magic.

"Downpouring Flame Arrows!

And with the word, five hundred arrows of flame poured down upon the earth as rain.
