"... Huh?
Anastasia, who was running on a deer, doesn't know if anything happened for a moment... still sees what's going on around her while allowing spiritual magic to be activated again at any time.
All of a sudden, the dragonias who were chasing us were half-destructed... No, we didn't understand that we were in the right situation to call ourselves half-destructed.
It was good until I used Spirit Magic to create an easy pit on the ground, but I didn't think that much would fall off in that pit.
In fact, Dragonias, who was running behind him to the fallen dragonias, hooked his leg, and so the dragonias behind him hit the fallen dragonias...... more dragonias fell than Anastasia had expected, but still it wasn't strange if he fell later or was resurrected soon.
"Mr. Anastasia, look over there!
Yes, Fana screams and looks at the sky as she runs the deer...
"Lie... Ray...?
At the end of his gaze is Griffon, who also looks familiar to Anastasia, and the figure of a man straddling it.
The moment you see it, from surprise, Anastasia stops the deer from moving.
And Fana, who was running next door, also stopped the deer from moving.
... Although the two deer on board were scared of Seto and were about to leave here a little early.
I guess it's still a threat to wildlife deer that Griffon will prey on us.
That's more than Dragonias trying to eat and kill themselves.
Still, Anastasia and Fana succeed in keeping the deer moving under control.
For some reason, it's been quite a long time since Anastasia and Fana started their journey with these two deer.
Two deer believe in Anastasia and Fana, too.
Even if I believed that, it was the overwhelming presence of Seto that made me want to escape.
Still, as Ray and Seto approach a certain distance, the deer stop trying to escape.
I guess that's how instinctively I understood that when I got so close, I couldn't escape anymore.
Nevertheless, I had no intention of doing this to Seto, who has come down to earth so far.
Ray opens his mouth as he puts the twilight spear he threw back at him.
"Anastasia, Fana, you're safe, right?
"Ray......?
Anastasia mouths Ray's name just like earlier.
But when I called Ray's name earlier, it meant something incredible, but now that Ray is clearly in front of me, that's how I understand and grumble.
Next to Anastasia, Fana also looks at Ray and Seto again, but this one has no idea what look she's wearing because of the mask.
Still, from the atmosphere, Ray could understand that he was happy with Ray and Seto's presence.
"Totally...... I thought I'd finally found it, I didn't know Dragonias was attacking me.... Nevertheless, I'm glad you're safe"
"You're not safe. Totally... what do you think we've been seeing?"
It must be from the joy of being able to rendezvous with Ray. There even seemed to be thin tears in Anastasia's eyes squeaking.
Most importantly, the next moment the tears seemed to have disappeared, so there was a possibility that Ray might have misjudged them.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"
Seto's been there for a long time, too. Against the two of you, okay? and honking his throat.
The deer is even more frightened by such a ceto, but Anastasia, who notices it, strokes the deer so that it is okay.
That makes two deer that look a little... really little but calm.
"A lot...... I really want to ask you a lot, but I'm glad you're all right with that. Anyway, as for the details, I'd like to move to the location where we are currently based and then take a moment to talk..."
Can you go back? and ask Ray toward Seto.
It's more than we've traveled according to Seto's instincts, naturally, but we just need to get back in the direction we came.
I wish I could go back... In this case, the question was whether I could fly and travel across the ground and back to the woods anyway.
Flying is completely different from running on the ground.
Or if this isn't the meadow, I might be able to go back almost fine... but unfortunately the meadow is spreading on one side here.
Beyond that, if you try to be unfamiliar with the meadows, this place just seems like the same sight everywhere.
If you are a centaur born, living, and dying in a meadow, I guess you can judge the neighborhood by a slight difference.
"What?... Could it be that Ray and Seto are lost on the road too?
"That's not the point. I've been flying all the way here, so it's a little hard to get around the ground."
"That's lost..."
"Mr. Anastasia!
And Fana, who inadvertently listened to Ray and Anastasia in silence, raises her voice.
What the hell is that?
If you think so and look at Fana, that Fana is screaming as she sees where Dragonias' body is gathered.
I just thought Dragonias was all dead and ray, but there was a slightly moving shadow in that pile of bodies.
Nevertheless, the shadow… Surviving Dragonias is not meant to be otherwise intact.
Ray's twilight spear landed somewhere where the fallen Dragonias were gathered.
Landing... Yes, the power of Ray's thrown spear deserves the expression landing.
He was a dragonias who managed to survive such an attack, but his hands are bent from one side to the other, not from around his elbow.
The area of the lizard in the lower body has also lost a few legs, the scaled skin is torn and there are many places where meat is visible.
Not very much, but it didn't seem like he had the ability to fight.
... but that's only if it's a normal creature.
In the case of Dragonias, there is basically no such thing as reason or intelligence, dominated by hunger.
Even in a state like the present, he walks toward those with the Rays, whilst bracing for one or two steps to satisfy the hunger.
"Seto, please"
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
The moment he hears Ray's words, Seto kicks the ground and runs out toward Dragonias.
Dragonias noticed the presence of Seto approaching him even in conditions such as half-dead life, protruding his fangs and dragging his mouth away from eating that meat...
"Gru!"
But in the next moment, with a blow by Seto's forefoot, his head is crushed.
Normal dragonias cannot beat Seto, even in a state of plenty.
There was no way I could have fought Seto from the front and won in the current situation, which was taking more damage than it was.
Seto, who thus defeated Dragonias with one blow, praises and praises, comes as close as Ray.
Ray strokes Seto's head like that and sees where Dragonias' body is solidified.
Dragonias was taking quite a lot of damage right now, but maybe there are dragonias who are just losing their minds.
or so it's a hassle to check one at a time...... take the death size out of the mysteries and start casting spells.
"O flame, thy power is mine. Burn your magic and burn your enemies as I will. Your properties are extended burning, fire. My magic as water, more fire."
Along with that spell, Ray's … ten fireballs appear around the Death Size to be exact.
"Ten Fireballs"
Magic is activated and the ten fireballs head straight to the solidified spot of Dragonias...... the next moment they hit, they produce a giant flame.
After all, there were some individuals in Dragonias who had passed out, and the sound of Dragonias echoes around them from the flames that are burning.
Ray has the bodies of such dragonias burned...... never be alarmed while watching the dragonias burn alive inside.
Because knowing the hunger of Dragonias doesn't mean it won't pop out of this flame all of a sudden.
That's why even if it's burning like this, I won't be alarmed until it's charcoal at the end and collapses.
In fact, out of the burning dragonias, we hear voices that are neither groaning nor screaming.
... The fact that he is speaking out is that he is suffering from the flames, and given that, the red scaled dragonias with strong resistance to the flames would have died from the blow of Ray's unleashed dusk spear.
"In the meantime, this makes me feel safe for now.... for once I ask, there's still no more chasers coming, is there?
"Right. First of all, this is the only chaser.... I don't know what Dragonias thinks, so maybe they'll come in extra."
That was understandable enough for Ray, who had been sent a group of Dragonias many times to the forest settlement.
I nod with an unpleasant look at Anastasia's words.
"The extra ones are troublesome. They come uninterrupted."
"Ray?"
Turn the gaze of doubt to Ray, where Anastasia squeaks in such a way as smudging.
That's what makes Ray look like he knows a lot about Dragonias.
"Whatever, we'll talk more about it later. Now we're leaving this place anyway."
The expression that was floating a few seconds ago disappeared lightly and Anastasia nodded at Ray, who shrugged so.
Fana also pulls the hem of Anastasia's clothes, indicating she should get away from here as soon as possible.
That's how I started getting ready to move...
"Piiiiiiiii..."
"Pii!"
Two deer, Anastasia and Fana, have rode this far, scared Seto and don't try to get close at all.
I did not imitate the fear of Seto's existence and it was obvious that such imitations as moving with Seto were very, but not possible.
"If I had a little more time, I guess the deer would get used to Seto, too.... What do we do? Is this deer gonna let you get away here? For once, Seto can ride both Anastasia and Fana."
When I was in Gilm, I could fully understand Ray's words even to Anastasia because Seto was traveling with Ray, Anastasia and Fana to the middle of the Trent forest.
But still, Anastasia shakes her neck sideways against Ray's words.
"No, we need the means to move freely. And... my feelings have moved on to these kids."
Nodding to Anastasia's words, Fana agrees.
The two deer also wonder what to do as Ray than they are scared of Seto but showing Anastasia and Fana how they miss it...... they end up mouthing a compromise proposal.
"Then Anastasia and Fana follow me away on the deer, as me and Seto move on"
"Okay."
How long the hell away will the deer not be afraid of Seto?
Also, even if you free yourself from the fear of ceto by leaving, will you tolerate that ceto go in its moving direction?
Isn't the latter, in particular, very, but difficult, as far as the deer are concerned scared of Seto?
Yes, Ray thought, but still Anastasia and Fana insisted on taking the deer.
Sometimes, as they say, feelings for deer have shifted.
Ray doesn't even know when the Anastasias actually got the deer.
But the means of travel and pets gained in a strange world.
It is no surprise that the spirit is wearing out - Anastasia seemed intrigued by this world of Ning Lo - by deer.
Ray had heard the word pet therapy when he was in Japan.
What I knew was a lot of mess, but whatever it was, it definitely seemed like Anastasia and Fana were dealing with deer like that.
(Well, that's true about deer, but other than that, I need to think about a lot of things)
Specifically, whether you can travel on the ground with Seto to return to the forest.
It was as long as it was still noon or not, but I needed to return to the settlement as soon as I could, more than I could find Anastasia and Fana.
To be honest, there is no more reason for Ray to remain in this world than he has achieved his goal of protecting Anastasia and Fana.
But still, Ray also spent a lot of time with a bunch of centaurs, starting with Zai, and his emotions have shifted.
There was also an interest in a being called Dragonias… a being that would be producing it precisely.
That's why Ray isn't going to take the option of just going back to Elgin in the current situation.
(Considering Anastasia's character, I don't think she's going back to the other world.)
With that in mind, Ray began to act to return to the forest settlement.
