Legend

"Yeah, you don't have to worry about undead with this for now.... because if Dragonias undead, it would be quite a hassle. We need to stay strong around here."

Ray groans when he sees the body of Dragonias burned by the flames, but Dolphina, who was watching next to him, opens her mouth as she realizes.

"Ray, Dragonius eats basically anything, but he doesn't eat his buddy's body, does he?

"My buddy's body? I don't know how it went... maybe I won't eat it though. What's wrong with that?

I thought, "Well, if we were to use Dragonias' body as a base and throw it in somewhere, we could use it as an undead force."

"It's... it's... it's... it's so convincing, it's so subtle."

The body that became undead basically attacks normally, no matter who it is if it is the living opponent... even if it is of the same race as ourselves in our lifetime.

... Of course, attacking whoever it is means, naturally, that the Rays will be attacked again, but if you throw in Dragonias' body and the Rays aren't there, there's no problem at all.

And even if it were dominated by hunger, Dragonias would be more powerful in its undead than they would ever be in their common feeding.

That was the Dolphina I would tell you, but Ray gives me a hard look.

"What's wrong with you? Is there a problem?

"Even if Dragonias doesn't eat together, do you recognize the person who became undead as one of us? Maybe if you're the one who became undead, you'd recognize you're not one of them and eat and kill them. Besides... I personally don't really like using undead"

I'm saying this from a sense of justice... not from the sharpness of Ray and Seto's five senses.

Both Ray and Seto have very sharp five senses compared to normal humans.

So, if meat doesn't exist, like a skeleton, or doesn't have flesh, like a ghost, yet, when a zombie-like rotting corpse walks around undead, its rotten odor causes intense damage to the sense of smell.

Not to mention Seto's much more than five senses sharp compared to Ray's, and his damage becomes intense.

... In fact, when you go to a hierarchy with undead in the kind of dungeons, Seto always sounds bad and sad, and Ray is the same again.

Not in a confined space like a dungeon, but only in places like the meadows, where there would not be a cage of rotting odors...... nevertheless, it was only natural that Ray seemed unacceptable given the current situation.

It is also true that there are still places in the existence of undead other than rotten odors that I think are different.

Ray's Wisdom Bag... or the fact that the Grimm, which should also be called the back shield, is undead, probably also influences the judgment around there.

Nevertheless, if you were told that you had a grime to call Rich Road with the zombies around it, you would certainly be offended, even if you were a grime in a position like your grandfather spoiling your grandson against Ray.

"Right.... Well, I just said this because I came up with it, and don't worry about it"

He was a Dolphina whose opinion was lightly dismissed from Ray's mouth, but he doesn't look particularly concerned.

He's right, I guess I just said it because I really came up with it.

"Whatever it is... how are we going to dig this settlement place later?"

"What? Why are you imitating that?

Dolphina tells me why Ray suddenly says something like that in a way that I don't understand.

Naturally. I thought I had helped Centaur, the woman who had fled the settlement, because for some reason I suddenly said I would dig the settlement, etc.

"There is something in this settlement. Because I think so."

That said, Ray explains to Dolphina what he doubted.

"... I see. If you ask me, it's uncomfortable that the trees in the woods are not eaten by Dragonias or come to places like this in close to a hundred"

Dolphina was also convinced of the reason when Ray told her.

Normally, Dolphina, who is actually the victim of Dragonias, seems more comfortable to notice this anomaly...

(No, you didn't notice because you're actually being harmed by Dragonias or something? in a preconceived way)

That's what I thought because Dragonias was tormenting me.

That's not to say I'm not convinced as Ray.

"Anyway, that's why I thought if there was anything going on, it would be the basement of this settlement. So, then you need to dig it out like you deserve, right? Well, if you use my skills, you can handle it to some extent."

Ray's...... Death size skills to be exact, terrain manipulation.

Currently, a level four terrain operation can control a location with a radius of 70 m by about 150 cm.

With that, we will also be able to manage some difficulty in digging out.

But it also meant that the lower part than one hundred and fifty centimeters had to be dug ourselves.

If we were to imitate that in the present circumstances, that would be what the scouts would need to do with total mobilization.

Nor does it necessarily mean that if there really is something here that Dragonias seeks, then a new Dragonias will not come again for it.

When it came to dispatching nearly a hundred Dragonias, it didn't seem to Ray that anyone in command in this one case would also give up on a single failure.

(No, well, even if Dragonias strikes, that's what Ceto is outside the woods, and even if Ceto flies up to the sky and asks me to come here and help him with his mining work, let him go to Vihela and that's it. Besides, the Centaurs are getting strong enough in mock warfare with Vihera)

If you look around you, you can see the Centaur people resting.

Many must have been tired of carrying Dragonias' body.

After the battle we took a short break and immediately collected Dragonias' body, so it would be natural to get tired.

... In the first place, dragonias are bigger one by one than centaurs and, naturally, weigh as well.

You collect such dragonias in one place, so that amount of exercise is greater than bad combat.

"Did the survival of this settlement become aware of the mining operations?

"No."

To Dolphina's words, Ray shakes his neck to the side.

The Centaur woman talking to the survivors of this settlement, Ray and Zays, has not yet received a reply of understanding.

However, given this current situation, the option of not digging this settlement back did not exist in Ray.

"I don't know what it is, but I'm probably pretty sure that means a lot. Then there's no choice."

Does Dolphina agree with Ray like that, too, and snorts back?

And... the next time Dolphina opened her mouth, there was no serious color there... no, it was serious color in the sense of against magic, but it wasn't even about asking about Dragonias.

"So, Ray. I've seen it several times before, but the magic of burning a corpse. Can't this curb a little more magic drain?

"Don't be impotent, impotent. I know I've said this a few times before, but for me to use The Flame of Condolence, I really get elements of the Holy Attribute in it. Normally, it doesn't work with that, but in my case, it drains a lot of magic and activates it forcefully. When it comes to curbing the drain of magic, it is the inability to activate magic itself."

"Hmm, I know that, but still what... isn't that silly?

"Sounds stupid?"

"Oh. Of course, it's good that Ray can activate that magic. But that's only Ray, so you can activate magic, right? That's what you said you couldn't do with a normal person, right?

"Right."

Because of the enormous magic that Ray has, he's using that magic to force magic into action.

Trying to use magic in the same way as Ray would be impossible, although not very much a normal wizard.

That was the dissatisfaction for Dolphina.

What happens if you are also free to use the magic of attributes that you cannot use?

That is how many magic existed that I would like to use if it were Dolphina, and that I would like to develop anew.

That's why it's so interesting for Dolphina that Ray's magic can't be used without the enormous magic that Ray has.

"That's why if you can use your favorite magic like Ray with less magic consumption, don't you think it would be awesome?

"Well, I think that's awesome... but you can't actually do that, can you? If that's what you can do, that's what other wizards have been doing for a long time."

How to use the magic of an attribute you don't have has naturally been studied by other wizards for a long time to do it.

However, no success stories have yet been reported.

Or maybe some people don't want to let others know just to use it on their own, even if they have a successful example.

"Of course, I know that's hard. But giving up without trying... don't you think?

"I know how Dolphina feels, but even I'm not always in this meadow. I'm only here looking for two people I know, and I'm taking down Dragonias because I want to make sure the person I'm looking for doesn't get hurt."

That means that the person you are looking for… If you can find two Anastasias and Fana, you will walk away from this meadow.

Dolphina had also been asked several times about the area before, so there were some things I thought were different about Ray's words like that, but I don't imitate them like I would mouth them.

Whatever you say in the current situation, it's pointless... probably because you don't think you can change Ray's resolve.

"For that reason, I can't cooperate in a full-scale magic study.... In the first place, I use magic in my case, so it's not suitable for research or anything."

If this is someone who uses magic in theory, it's pretty easy to do as a researcher.

But when beings like Ray are involved in research, they are inferior to theoretical wizards just because they use it in their senses.

Most importantly, this does not mean that sensationalists are inferior to theorists.

Because not many sensationalists are stronger if they are in action.

"It's..."

Dolphina couldn't immediately dispute Ray's opinion either, so she silenced...

"Ray!"

As if waiting for Dolphina to shut up, Ray can hear me.

When I look at the voices, there is Zai... and beside Zai is the figure of the Centaur woman who escaped from this settlement and encountered the Rays.

Look at the two of them like that... Ray turns his gaze on the woman, like, are you ready?

He also told Zai when cleaning up Dragonias' body that there might be something in this settlement.

That's why I figured that the woman was ready too that such a Zai and Centaur woman came along.

"You mean you two are together, are you ready?

"Yeah. Talk to your people... if anything in the basement of this settlement is going to be an attack material against Dragonias, it's settled."

It was easy for Ray to imagine that there was still a lot of things to say about the expression.

"Okay. Then start digging fast.... but the problem is I still don't know where the object is. Besides, I don't even know how deep it's buried."

Even if you use the terrain operation of the ray, you can only dig up to one hundred and fifty cm.

If it was more underground than that, it would have taken manpower to dig it from there.

"You should call Seto."

I can't travel through the woods, but I could have done things like flying through the sky and flying all the way here from outside the woods.

And Seto's power can also be used enough to dig the ground.

"In the meantime, should I bring Seto if I'm digging the ground? And... until we find something, we'll be sleeping here for a while, so we better get ready for camp. You're gonna need a lookout."

"Oh, I know. I've already given a lot of instructions around here.... Everyone who was in combat training with Vihella was happy to get ready."

"I guess..."

As for Ray, I had to say that to Zai's words.
