"Hmm... I'm looking forward to the fight."

Vihera down on the ground laughs happily.

Since I broke up with Dolphina, I've already done things like fly the sky a few times, earn some distance, and then go down to the ground and look for someone with a silver scale dragonias with a tree branch I got from Dolphina.

In doing so, Vihera speaks out like that, anxiously awaiting the battle against the silver scaly dragonias that will surely come close.

If you try to make it a vihela, you can't quite wait to fight your enemies.

To be honest, even as Ray, you don't know how that feels.

Most importantly, in Ray's case, the desire to defeat it somehow was stronger than the silver scaly dragonias created the base.

Given the strength of the enemy, there is no need for Ray to be that vigilant by nature.

Not to mention because this time there is also a force called Vihera.

Even in such a situation, Ray doesn't look distracted, probably because he's still the first to see such acts as Dragonias' Nest Split.

Most of all, it's only from circumstantial evidence that Ray wonders if it's a nest split, so it's unclear exactly whether Dragonias' behavior is really a nest split.

"Looking forward to it, I'm honest with you that we should do something soon."

Yes, I reply to Vihera, while throwing tree branches on the ground.

The tip of the tree branch then shows a particular direction… the direction in which there is a population led by the dragonias of silver scales.

"Oh, really? I'm looking forward to it."

"I know that. I'll leave the dragonias of silver scales to Vihera, so enjoy yourself. Nevertheless, because it is not necessarily as strong as the dragonias of the silver scale before this... no, needless to say, is there anything that Vihella would be alarmed about"

"Of course. There's no reason to be alarmed, is there?

Vihera tells Ray's words, naturally.

Try Vihella and fight the mighty enemy where you want it.

In such a battle, it's like being cautious… it's impossible to imitate rude to the other person as well.

"I guess. I'm not worried about the neighborhood.... over there. That's a lot of work."

That's how Ray squeaks at the branches of a tree that fell on someone different from the last time he got down.

I would have liked Seto to fly more often to earn distance before knocking down the branches of the tree, but in order to not know exactly what the speed of travel of Dragonias was, I had thus come down to the ground quite often to explore the whereabouts of the silver scales Dragonias.

Each time, naturally, the direction in which the tree branches fall deviates.

(This doesn't mean me or Seto are lost... right?

Second, Ray has such a question.

It should not have been the first time that tree branches were lost in the way, rather than just moving towards the fallen.

Alternatively, he won't admit it in person, but if it's just Ray and Seto, there's a good chance that maybe he'll be out of direction while he's flying.

But if this line had gone any further than the addition of Vihela, it would have definitely been pointed out by Vihela.

THINK THAT...... Huh, Ray asks Vihera in case she really thinks about it.

"Hey, Vihera. Let me ask you something... we're not going in the wrong direction, are we? Specifically, the flight path was off while Seto was flying."

"Huh? Um, I don't think that's what happened, do you? If that's what you're worried about, you can check on the ground more often. I don't think there's anything like getting lost."

Ray said that, at the same time convinced that it would be, I also find that troublesome.

Going down to the ground is not such a tough act.

But that's also the incontrovertible fact.

"If, for the time being, Vihella is deciding there's no problem, that's fine. Then all you have to do is believe in these tree branches and move on. Seto."

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto rattles his throat leaving it to him.

Ray crosses on the back of such a ceto, descends towards the ground after flying once, where Vihera grabs onto Ceto's forefoot, and begins to fly again.

It is, of course, in the direction indicated by the branch of the tree.

If you head that way, believe me, there is definitely a group led by the dragonias of silver scales.

And... as it goes down to the ground a few times, we use the tree branches to check the direction...

"Grrrrrrrr!"

From the satisfaction of finishing lunch, Seto accidentally rattles his throat in Ray's ear, who was putting up with getting a little sleepy.

That wasn't an invitation to come down and take a little nap...... it was such a chirping, alarming sound.

"An enemy!?

"What's wrong!?

Ray's grunts and Vihera's screams occur almost simultaneously.

... Isn't it more dangerous if you're feeling a little drowsy like Ray than you are grabbing and flying on Seto's forefoot without a lifeline? I didn't think so, but given the current situation, I didn't think I needed to worry about that.

While Ray seemed to sleep from his fullness, I wonder when Vihera would have sharpened her mind and mind so that she could find the silver scaled dragonias and become a battle.

"I don't know. But from the sound of Seto, I'm pretty sure I found something.... Can't you see it from Vihera?

"Unfortunately, you don't see it. Where's Ray?"

"I can't see either. Because I guess it's Seto's eyesight that made me see it.... Anyway, from what I've seen of Seto, he's got something going in the direction of progress. Make sure you don't miss that."

"Okay."

That concludes the conversation between Ray and Vihera, and then the silence lasts for a little while.

If you're looking at Seto, there's definitely something there.

If so, what is it?

I don't do anything like miss it, trying to get some sign for sure.

(Given Seto's eyesight, I think it's time to see it)

It's been quite a while since I finished my conversation with Vihera... and the sight that Seto supposedly watched has also been in Ray's eyes.

"Dragonias...... did you finally find it"

"Really?"

I guess I heard Ray whining. I ask Vihela if she can still see Dragonias.

"Oh. I'm glad I believed the branches of the Dolphina tree, I feel smudged.... Isn't it time to see Vihera?

The bodies of Ray and Seto are produced by a single gate of zepile, whose performance is very high.

Vihella's body has also been considerably enhanced by one of Ambris's cases over the original Vihella's body, but I guess that still meant that there was a higher level of technical capability in the Zeppyre Gate.

"... I see it!

Eventually I could find Dragonias even in the eyes of Vihera, and I heard voices like that.

That's how at the end of Ray, Seto, and Vihera's gaze, we could see a group of Dragonias moving on.

Nevertheless, that number is not that high.

(Feels like three hundred from afar?

Even if that number is considerably smaller than the Dragonias stronghold we raided last time.

Was that originally just a small herd, or was the number simply increasing due to some time elapsed since the last base raided?

Ray doesn't know what's going on around there, but the fact that there are fewer enemies in all is not a bad thing for Ray.

"Vihera, check. The silver scaly dragonias means you fight, right?

"Yes, of course."

To Ray's words, Vihera tells him that naturally.

That's what I said when I said that it was unacceptable for anyone but myself to fight the dragonias of silver scales.

... As for Ray, I don't know what to think of that.

If you want that, I thought you wouldn't mind leaving it to Vihera.

Vihera nods satisfactorily as to whether she also felt the atmosphere Ray thinks so.

"Well... shall we? In the meantime, I'll magically defeat the common dragonias, so the silver scaly dragonias will survive, and I'll leave it to you."

Vihera has nothing to disagree with such Ray's words.

Though Ray didn't even know if he thought that the dragonias of silver scales would not die if they ate magic, or if they were protected by dragonias with red scales.

Either way, Ray takes the death size out of the mysteries to use magic and starts casting spells.

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

Magic is cast, while flaming arrows are created one after the other.

Ray was a little confused about which magic to use, but sometimes the number of enemies was not as high as 300, so he chose this magic.

... the magic drain is huge, but still considerably easier than being forced to incorporate attributes other than flames into magic.

The magic thus created becomes, in the next moment, six hundred arrows of flames.

A flaming arrow created with the idea of only being a big mess, that there are 300 enemies, so it would be nice to have twice that.

Of course some enemies have silver scaled dragonias, some with red scales with absolute resistance to flames.

Six hundred arrows of flame are created against them, and they float around Ray.

"Wow... this looks amazing up close"

Vihera grabbing onto Seto's leg squeaks as impressed.

There are quite a few chances to see Ray's magic, but still right in front of him...... that's the sight of a flaming arrow in a place where if you reach for it, that's all you touch, nothing but surprise.

Ray activates magic as he hears such a vihella exclamation.

"Downpouring Flame Arrows!

Six hundred flaming arrows to be unleashed.

That's no longer a sight to call even the rain of flaming arrows.

Naturally, the dragonias who were running on the ground were also aware of the flaming arrows that were floating in large quantities in the air, but Dragonias is as much a running on the ground as Centaur.

Nor can we imitate anything like using a bow to attack over the sky, like Centaur, beyond being ruled by hunger.

A dragonias of silver scales might be a different story, but in the present circumstances you decided it was impossible... the moment you saw the arrows of flames created, you escape.

The sound of silver scales of dragonias echoing around.

Whether the ringing was a substitute for an order, the other dragonias follow the dragonias of silver scales with great adoration.

(Hungry-dominated dragonias, but you hear orders to run away)

While you think that way, the arrow of flames flies toward the Dragonias.

Originally, Dragonias runs slower than Centaur.

Only Dragonias like that can avoid Ray's unleashed arrow of flames... and so on.

And in the next moment, flaming arrows poured down toward Dragonias one after the other.

Regardless of the dragonias with red scales, otherwise colored scales dragonias are pierced by flaming arrows one after another.

If we try Dragonius and the others, that's the only way we can get away with an attack that we can't deal with on our own.

That escape rate is never fast either... one body after another dies pierced by the arrows of fire.

Thirty seconds.

In that degree of time, the majority of the dragonias are burned by the arrows of flames, alive are the dragonias with silver scales and the dragonias with red scales. And coincidence took its side and the arrow of flames didn't hit, only the lucky dragonias.

As a result, there are about thirty surviving dragonias… about a tenth of the original.

"All right, that's about it, you don't even need the magic of pursuit."

To be precise, the only dragonias with scales other than red who were lucky enough to use the magic of flames in their pursuit can defeat them.

Then it's quicker for Ray and Seto to kill one at a time without having to bother using magic.

The dragonias of silver scales are defeated by Vihela, so I didn't think of anything like putting my hands on you.

"Seto, get down!

"Gru."

To the words of Vihera, Seto descends toward the ground with his wings winged.

The other way is before the dragonias of silver scales, which are also trying to escape in this situation.

And... when Seto was flying low, Vihera timed to take her hand off Seto's forefoot and land in the direction of the silver scale dragonias.
