Legend

"... what?
Ray, who was riding the back of Seto flying through the sky and was pouring a flaming arrow down to the ground, suddenly heard a voice...... stops moving in a roar.
The roar itself was heard in large quantities from the home of Dragonias, where as many as ten fire whirlwinds were raging around.
But the roar is basically a substitute to be called a scream, or even an end demon.
Compared to that, the roar I heard earlier is different.
That's such a roar, as if it echoed around the perimeter, as if to make those who heard the presence until it was overwhelming.
That's why Ray also stopped slamming flaming arrows into the ground once again.
"Where did you hear the roar now?
Fight...... no, in the present situation, which should be called unilateral ravages, Ray didn't know exactly where that roar came from either.
You're just saying that the only thing you can be sure of was a roar with that power that would attract Ray's consciousness just because of that roar?
Ray doesn't even know what the enemy thought and imitated like that.
If you're disturbing Ray and Seto and you want to get rid of them, that's why you don't imitate the way you teach the Rays about your existence, and you can do anything unintentionally.
But what's the point in imitating one's presence even more?
"No, you don't"
Ray immediately denies his thoughts by shaking his head to the side.
Because the meaning of the current roar would have been obvious if we had seen the earth.
A few minutes ago...... no, until a few decades ago, the dragonias were confused by as many as ten fire whirlwinds and flaming arrows, but now that confusion is beginning to subside.
If you think about what caused it, all you can still think of is the earlier roar.
In other words, the earlier roar was not directed at Ray or Seto, but at the confused Dragonias, I guess.
"I see."
The roar and its effect surprised Ray, but at the same time it was convincing.
As far as Ray knows in the first place, Dragonias is a being dominated by the instinct of hunger.
Why is such a dragonias staying in this place called home?
If you are dominated by hunger, it is not strange to look for food so that you are driven by hunger and each moves as you please.
Also, if you're going to say that, attacking a group of dragonias who attacked the settlements of the Zays, or Centaurs escorting them with the women, children and old men they encountered during their time here, means they're doing some disciplined right, albeit dominated by hunger.
"I mean... I thought you had a boss."
Ray also anticipated that there would be rare and superior species to say in Elgin, and he has told the Zays.
But while they've ravaged the base so far, they've never come out at all.
For example, wasn't it still my mistake to have superior or rare species?
Even if Ray thinks that way, it's not that funny.
Although, in fact, it still is, but this is how I showed up.
(Still, you came out pretty late. What the hell were you doing?... Given this commotion, I don't think he was asleep or anything like that)
Take the dusk spear out of the mistering as well as the death size you've had, so that whatever happens at any given time.
Twilight spear throwing is what makes it a powerful blow.
That's why when Dragonias' boss and thoughtful presence came out, he took out the spear of dusk so he could attack immediately.
"Seto, do you know where I heard the chirping from now?
"Grrrrrrrr?...... Grrrrrrrr"
To Ray's words, Seto tilts his neck as he looks around him.
Earlier ringing sounded like Ceto, naturally.
But still, it resonates quite a bit more than it is in this vast place... I guess I couldn't find it even if I had Ceto's sharp hearing of exactly where it came from.
(You know, it's nothing but a nightmare for Zays that Dragonias acts like an organization)
Centaur has managed to counter Dragonias because Centaur is working with a large number of people to fight Dragonias.
Yet if that dragonias becomes collaborative...... that's what Centaur and the rest of us can only hope for.
Nevertheless...... while Ray makes some hopeful observations, doesn't he have to get that serious? I also think.
If Dragonias can work together, that's why he hasn't done it before.
You should definitely consider that collaborative action is not so easy because it is a dragonias dominated by hunger.
"Gru!"
And I was thinking about that, Ray, but inadvertently I notice Seto make a sharp squeal.
From the sound of that ceto, he decides that he probably found the person he was looking for, and follows that gaze.
Just a glance at the other guy, Ray figured it out.
I wonder if the opponent who was at the end of his gaze dominates Dragonias.
As for form, there is no significant difference from other dragonias.
The lower body is a lizard, and the upper body is the same as the common dragonias, such as Lizardman's failure to do so.
The only difference would be that the horns, as if they were deer, are stretched from the side head two times, upwards.
It also looks somewhat larger in size than the other dragonias, but still doesn't make the same difference that it is nearly double.
But...... nevertheless, the density of the presence was distinctly different from other dragonias.
That's the same difference between a first-rate… or more powerful adventurer and an adventurer who's not working out in particular, but who's just getting more concerned with having a weapon and being a group.
Even a single Dragonias, multiple Centaurs can finally fight together.
Given that, how much power does that individual have that would be incomparable with normal dragonias?
There was no doubt that at least as much strength as we could determine that there would never be a winning shot, even if beings like Zai and Dorat, who should be called the strong among Centaur, tried to fight.
(What color is the scale...... gold?
Ray, who hasn't fought so many dragonias, but still has fought dragonias with scales of various colors, has also never seen a dragonias with scales of gold.
Or maybe that dragonias can follow other dragonias because they have gold scales.
Either way, I'm pretty sure Dragonias with such a golden scale is a troublesome existence.
In fact, with just one voice earlier, the other dragonias were recovering from the confusion.
With that in mind, that dragonias better be defeated as soon as possible.
Having so decided, Ray magically casts his spear of dusk......
It's not about being on the ground, it's more about throwing from being on the back of a flying ceto than it usually is about what's wrong with its speed and power.
But even if you lose more power than usual, it becomes a blow that has just enough speed for the purpose of killing your opponent, flying towards a dragonias with a golden scale as you pierce the air.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
A golden dragonias waving his fist as he raised his roar.
You idiot, and.
Ray, who saw it, even had a laugh at the other person's miscalculation.
I know how powerful the spear of dusk can be, because that's the ray I've been using.
That's an attack that should be called a tactical weapon, compared to an attack that should also be called a strategic weapon carried out with fire whirlwind or flame magic... but it was still powerful enough to defeat one of the dragonias - albeit obviously more than any other individual in character.
That's why... yes, that's why.
"Huh?"
Seeing the sight done in front of him, a slightly missing voice leaks out of Ray's mouth.
Ray also knows that the scales of Dragonias are strong.
I know, but that's what I thought if I still had a spear of dusk, I'd be able to pierce it without a problem.
But Dragonias with a golden scale would not have died with such a dusk spear blow.
Of course, it didn't completely withstand that blow, or dodge it.
… in a way requires a higher level of skill than both of them… I did the act of recirculating it.
Golden scales are certainly more robust than scales of other colors, I guess.
But still not enough to prevent a dusk spear blow.
In fact, the area where the spear of dusk was diverted has its golden scales flashly shredded.
Still, that was definitely an overwhelming minor injury compared to the damage done when the dusk spear struck.
"... it was unexpected, but don't do it. But..."
After a few seconds of silence, Ray regained his mind, putting the spear of dusk, which had pierced the ground up to half way, back on hand.
"I just recieved it, and that's all the damage I ended up taking. When that happens, if that goes on and on...... what do we do?
Again, Ray magically moves into the spear of dusk in his hand.
Ray and Seto present in such a sky...... Dragonias with a golden scale turns a sharp gaze, especially on Ray with a spear of dusk that is just powerful enough to sharpen his scales.
Not dominated by hunger, like any other dragonias, but a gaze that should also be called ferocious intelligence.
"Look... let's go!
"Gralalalaaaaaaaa!"
Dragonias, with his golden scales, screams in an intimidating voice at Ray, who waved his spear of dusk.
Then a dragonias with a blue scale that was a little further away moves out.
Stuck in front of a dragonias with a golden scale...... no, in such a way as to serve as a shield for an attack from Ray.
Naturally, it's obvious what would happen if we did that.
In fact, the thrown dusk spear pierces the body of a dragonias with a light blue scale.
That's just as light as breaking even a wet tissue.
It's just... even if you pierced the body of Dragonias with that light blue scale, that naturally means you pierced a stubborn flesh, nearly three meters tall.
Then, naturally, slightly… it was only natural that the speed and power of the spear of dusk would fall on both sides, even if it was really slight.
As a result, the sacrifice… or the shield of the flesh, Dragonias with the gold scale succeeds in dodging the dusk spear blow.
"Trouble imitation."
Defense is out of the question, even if it is recirculated, the scales are scratched, and it is difficult to avoid it.
Among these, Dragonias chose to buy time of less than a second by the shield of meat.
Even for a few moments, if you try to be the one fighting, it's limitless.
In fact, Dragonias with a gold scale that could not have been avoided if he had been attacked normally, because he succeeded in using those moments to dodge the dusk spear blow.
Ray shrugged because he figured it out.
Nevertheless...... even now that we are doing this, although the arrows of the flames have stopped, the ten fire whirlwinds are raging around this area at will, thereby continuing to damage a large number of dragonias at this moment.
(Then, if you buy time in a situation where you are still staring at each other, will the number of dragonias that become meat walls also decrease?... you can't)
Ray dismisses his thoughts as he puts the spear of dusk back on hand again.
Now I'm looking at Ray so that I can respond immediately no matter what, so I can still observe him, but if time goes on like this, he'll show some movement sooner or later.
Or is it first that a fire whirlwind strikes a dragonias with a gold scale?
Ray doesn't even know how much of a dragonias with a golden scale is resistant to flames on its own.
But still, like the dragonias with scales other than red, I didn't think I'd die just from being caught in a fire whirlwind.
Then... and. Then there is only one thing to do in the present situation.
"Seto, just keep your distance from me just in case."
"Gru......"
From what Ray said, I guess I figured out what he was trying to do.
Seto looks at Ray jumping off his back, worried for just a little bit... as instructed, walking away from the spot.
As we descend toward the ground, Ray increases, compresses and concentrates his magic…
"Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor"
It was to land on the ground and activate the skill.
