"Phew... there will be survival for now, but most of the power will have been destroyed."

So murmured Ray, looking at the ground and squealing as he rode on Seto's back flying in the sky.

The tornado of flames created by the fire whirlwind had completely burned the ground down… one of the bases of Dragonias.

Nevertheless, Dragonius doesn't have the intelligence to make a home, so only the Dragonius and the others were burned down by the fire whirlwind.

The red scaled dragonias could have survived without any problems, even if it were originally a fire whirlwind... among the corpses are many red scaled dragonias.

This is because Ray put the remains of the blade in the fire whirlwind, so the red scale dragonias could withstand the flames, but could not withstand the blade attack.

Of course, the scales of Dragonias are very rugged, and if you are the bearer of strengths like Ray, Vihera, or Seto, you still can't do that easily, even in Centaur.

Still, the remains of the blade put into the fire whirlwind, spinning at high speeds, struck one dragonias after another.

Even if it's hard to deal damage with a single blow, if that number increases the number of attacks on things like ten, one hundred, one thousand, the number of Red Scale Dragonias is also increased each time.

If that's how the number of attacks increases, the attack can hit the gap in the scales... as a result of it being repeated, they would have slashed and torn through one body after another, including the red scaled dragonias.

"Well, I couldn't kill them all."

It wasn't that big a base, so there's one fire whirlwind that I created.

Also, the current Ray is only fighting to find the home of Dragonias, and then, naturally, he doesn't have time to be based.

If we could afford a little more time, that would have been the kind of imitation that would have politely crushed the bases one by one.

But now it's better to do something about the dragonias heading into the woods anyway... in that sense, I still can't hang time in one of the bases.

(I don't know how the normal dragonias are increasing, but if they still crush one base like this, the damage should be considerable. Even in the sense of replenishing it, you won't be able to operate for a while.... Whether Commander Dragonias is alive or not, I guess that's going to change my judgment around there)

As far as the ground is concerned, the figure of Dragonias with its gold, silver and copper scales does not exist anywhere.

Did the fire whirlwind attack kill you? Or are you hiding to reduce the damage at all by deciding that you can't launch an attack on a flying ceto?

Ray didn't even know that area, but it was an unmistakable fact that Ray, who was flying in the sky, could not find Commander Dragonias.

The neighborhood wasn't clear yet, but still the next place...... I can't be here much longer than I have to find the home of Dragonias.

Anyway, once the number of enemies was reduced, it became the next base… in some cases it was necessary to find a moving group of Dragonias.

"Seto, we're going next.... but where is the main office really located? As it stands, we're going to find quite a few bases, but it's going to be hard to find the home of the heart."

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto rattles his throat to agree with Ray's words.

Seto does not consider the home of Dragonias to be a threat to Ray.

But if my favorite Ray is going to be looking that far, then, naturally, Seto will also be looking seriously for the home of Dragonias.

"Whatever, next place..."

"Gru!"

In the middle of Ray's words, Ceto accidentally makes a sharp squeal.

What happened? What happened? and turned his gaze to Seto's watchers...... there was a group of dragonias, going towards the stronghold that had just devastated them.

Were you aiming at the base Ray destroyed from the start, or did you notice this base being attacked on your way to another location and come close?

Ray didn't even know what was going on around there, but there's no reason to keep it that way, beyond the nearly three hundred Dragonias that are coming up anyway.

"If those numbers go to the woods, it's definitely dangerous."

I have Vihela, so I don't have a problem with it militarily.

But unlike Ray, in the case of Vihela, who specializes only against individuals, if things like massive enemies strike at once, it's quite a disadvantage.

If there is a grove, and the commander Dragonias is giving orders not to break the tree in a detour, then Vihella has a winning chance, too.

But there is no ceto in the settlement right now.

If Ray and the others were in the forest settlement, they could also imitate Seto as a force of war when he had to be in the settlement.

Because Seto was able to deal with it even when the dragonias of copper scales came out.

That Ceto is now more than here with Ray on board, and if other dragonias or commander dragonias strike from somewhere else while Vihela is fighting in the woods, only the Zays can deal with it.

(I'm pretty sure Zai had quite a bit of strength in his training with Vihera too... but it'll still be hard to deal with the dragonias of silver scales)

Beyond that, we still definitely need to reduce the number of dragonias as much as possible here.

"Seto, I'm gonna take those guys down, too. We can't let them go to the forest settlement."

"Grrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto squeals when left to him.

That's how it doesn't matter if it sounds like Dragonius and the others approaching the devastated stronghold.

... Most of all, I came closer to this stronghold when I saw a tornado of flames than I used a fire whirlwind to annihilate this settlement... I mean, with our own enemies here, yes, it wasn't strange for the commander of Dragonias to judge.

(if...... what do we do? I knew I needed to do something about the commander. Or do something about putting together a normal dragonias)

Thought about what to do...... eventually Ray decides.

"Okay, it's quicker if you put it all together and knock it down"

In the end, Ray chose such a simple method.

If you destroy the approaching Dragonias, that's what you don't have to worry about forest settlements.

To such Ray's judgment, Seto rattles his throat as he agrees.

If you try Ceto, you're not at all worried about the strength of your enemies.

... In the first place, Dragonias basically don't have the means to attack flying enemies.

Beyond that, we have the realization that in the present situation we will be able to win unilaterally.

"Try new magic"

While retrieving the death size, Ray begins to cast a spell.

"O flame, devour my magic and expose its appearance. Be huge, be big, grow up. Eat, eat, eat. Thou shalt show the side of the destruction of the flames, and be a star of ruin.

It devours the magic of Ray and creates a giant fireball.

Similar magic used to be used by Ray before, but the magic we are using this time, if you ask me, is specialized in destruction... that is what makes it a star of ruin pouring out of heaven, as it is in the spell.

Fireballs gradually become huge by eating Ray's magic.

Fireballs floating in the air, that's what makes them nearly ten meters in diameter… illuminate their surroundings brightly, in a different sense from the sun.

"The Star of Doom"

And the moment you cast the spell, the giant flaming star descends toward the earth… Eventually, slowly the flaming star hits the earth, creating a scorching hell on earth in the next moment.

The world, which instantly became a scorching hell, ravages almost everything but dragonias with red scales by flames.

The red scale dragonias, too, did not have to worry about the flames, but could not prevent them until the shock caused by the explosion caused by the giant flames that landed on the ground.

Damage is not small due to blown shocks, and the unlucky hits an ally dragonias, thereby causing even greater damage.

Such a sight extended to a range of nearly a kilometre in diameter.

Not to mention that the range of that attack is not just in the range of one kilometre in diameter.

Because there was no such thing as a barrier setting the attack range…, it actually damages a lot in the vicinity of the magic effect range.

Especially on the immediate side of the effect range of one km, the situation was such that it was not so different from the current magical effect range.

"Hmmm... this is..."

"Gru......"

Ringing out to Ray's words as if Seto knew what was ahead of him.

If you try to lay it down, the magic of today will do extensive damage, but that's what I was thinking, trying to keep barriers around it from causing damage.

Nonetheless, the sight that is now spreading on the ground is slightly different from what Ray had expected.

... Nevertheless, once you recognize it as this kind of magic, only Ray, who uses magic with his senses, the perception becomes fixed that that's what the magic is.

Regardless of the slightest adjustment, it was difficult to conjure up the magical composition that much.

Ray was watching the ground burn by the fire on Seto's back, but eventually gives up saying he had no choice.

It was user-friendly magic in places like the whole city or in a dungeon, and it takes a lot of magic to make the magnitude of the flames that huge.

But it's not like there's no use for it.

Especially in the case of places like this meadow, it was definitely very user-friendly magic.

Only if we don't have allies around us.

"Now it's like limiting the range of effects a little more...... no, is that enough for 'dancing flames' or 'fire elite chaos'?... if it works the same way, you don't have to bother making magic like that."

When I squeal that far, I stop thinking about magic once and for all, and observe how things are on the ground again.

(Where's the commander? Gold, silver, copper, whatever scale you have, I don't think it's hard to find.... no, the copper scaly dragonias are small, so it's possible they're hiding under the normal dragonias corpse or something like that)

With that in mind, Ray turns his gaze carefully...

"What?"

A slightly unexpected sight gives rise to a loose voice in between.

It was at the end of Ray's gaze that both silver and copper could be discerned… precisely the figure of Dragonias, whose two colors intersected the speckles.

I guess the dragonias decided they found themselves hiding in their fellow corpses. Decide there's no point in hiding any more and show up.

And... accidentally pointing your right hand towards Ceto...

"Gru!"

Seto wings almost reflexively and moves off the spot.

A moment later, something fires from the right hand of the speckled dragonias, penetrating where Ceto was until earlier.

(blood?)

Yes, Ray thought it was because of the smell of iron rust when something fired from the speckled dragonias passed nearby.

Maybe you or Seto were slightly wounded in the current attack? I also thought so, but that doesn't look like it.

In other words, I could have expected that the attack now fired blood like a water cannon from Dragonias' hands.

Why the hell did Dragonias not have the means to launch a long-range attack?

There was such a question in Ray, but now it was necessary to defeat the enemy before being surprised by it first.

Fortunately, Ray quickly speaks to Seto, who understands that he can't make a series of ranged attacks right now.

"Seto, don't move around and let your enemies narrow their focus!

While giving instructions, Ray stores the death size in the mistering and takes out the spear of dusk instead.

Until now, because Dragonius had no means of ranged attack, it was easy to attack at a distance… especially if it was flying in the sky.

But if the opponent also has the means to attack at a distance, the story will be different.

Specifically, I don't know how powerful an attack the hell it is without actually hitting it.

But, naturally, Ray didn't think about being attacked by such an opponent, etc., and that was the same with Seto.

That's why while you move around and keep your enemies from targeting you...

"Eat it!

Ray, with such a voice, threw the spear of dusk toward the speckled dragonias.
