Decades after Anastasia touched the eggs of the Spirit...... Ray, who was watching, found the power rapidly spreading around him.
Anastasia herself doing it didn't know exactly how long it had been since she touched the eggs of the Spirit...... it would be natural to be able to judge objectively if you made it a ray looking from the outside.
"This is... amazing..."
Vihera, who was next to Ray, would also have felt the power released from the eggs of the Spirit.
Squirting with a surprised look on his face.
Neither does Vihera have the ability to feel the power being released from the eggs of the Spirit, as does Ray.
But I guess I could feel that power because the power released from the eggs of the Spirit was intense.
"Right.... It was a little unexpected for me that the eggs of the Spirit were what they were going to be.... No, well, I hope that doesn't bother you"
While returning words to Vihera, what Ray saw was Anastasia touching the Spirit's eggs.
I hope Anastasia does not suffer the negative effects of the intense power emanating from the eggs of the Spirit.
Ray was watching with that in mind...... eventually Anastasia gently releases her hand from the Spirit's egg.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha..."
When I let go of my hand, I didn't seem that tired, but a few seconds after I let go of my hand, my breath also manages to get my breath ready in rough conditions.
Fana, who was watching nearby, rushes to Anastasia faster than anyone else.
And when you give them the glass of water they give you...... Anastasia drinks that water all at once.
Before touching the eggs of the Spirit, even though he drinks a few cups of fruit water, Anastasia drinks water, as if that's what those who were in the desert arrive in the oasis and drink as much water as they like... that's all the momentum.
Speaking of why I'm so thirsty, it's all over my face... and probably scratching it all over my body. It was definitely caused by sweat.
The time Anastasia was in direct contact with the eggs of the Spirit is never long.
But it is an unmistakable fact that Anastasia was so exhausted in that short time.
Seeing that point, it would be clear that the existence of an egg of the Spirit is very dangerous.
(I need to take this Spirit egg with me more than I need to move to attack Dragonias' home base...... you okay? It explodes when you touch it poorly, isn't it close to unexploded ordnance?
It was an unmistakable fact that Ray thought that way when he saw Anastasia looking tired, but there was no better reason to leave him here like this than to have unearthed the eggs of the Spirit.
That is what would make it easy for the Dragonias, who came to this settlement after the Rays were gone, to obtain the eggs of the Spirit if they kept the Spirit here and headed to the home of Dragonias.
If you look at Anastasia, which is in extreme fatigue after just a few touches, it is easy to predict that that is why Dragonias will not be able to touch the detour either.
I can... but that seems to be only because Ray has some judgment.
If you try to make it a dragonias that is moving with the instinct of hunger, it's not strange to see spiritual eggs or to try to touch them fine.... On the contrary, Ray can be convinced, even if he thinks it's food and tries to bite it.
(If that instinct determines the eggs of the Spirit to be dangerous because they live by the instinct of hunger, I'd appreciate it as this one... it'd be hard)
If you think of the dragonias who have fought so far, because the eggs of the Spirit are dangerous, and you ask them if they will not come into contact... honestly, it would be a subtle place.
At least if Ray knew about Dragonias, he wouldn't have hesitated at all.
And if the eggs of the Spirit come to that, I don't know what the hell will happen.
Alternatively, trying to stick your fangs and nails out doesn't work at all and nothing happens. That was possible, but in the worst case scenario it could destroy this meadow itself, as opposed to the surrounding area.
In order not to do so, it was still necessary for the Rays to secure the eggs of the Spirit.
Whatever, drink the water, wipe the sweat, and breathe heavily into Anastasia, Ray calls out.
"So you were able to find the home of Dragonias?
"Yeah. I got a good grip on the home base. … it's quite far from here, but the problem is that it's in the basement."
"... underground? No, I see. If you say so, can you be convinced?"
If it had been the home of Dragonias, of course, its size would have been quite enormous.
The Dragonias stronghold Ray has seen so far is what makes it quite spacious.
It is inconceivable that a base is, after all, a place other than a home for Dragonias, and a home smaller than such a base.
Beyond that, the home base should be quite large... if Ray was flying in the sky on Ceto, it wouldn't have been strange to be able to ascertain its appearance as a matter of course.
But if the base were to be underground, it wouldn't be that easy to find.
But... that's what Ray thought when he likened Dragonias ecology to ants and bees.
For example, having the home of Dragonias in the basement was certainly convincing in a way.
(Plus... underground makes it a lot easier to do this one when it's annihilated)
With massive magic, such magic cannot be used because, naturally, the underground could collapse.
More than having its base in the basement, collapsing it will only buy you enough time.
But... the heat of the flames is harder to escape than when you use magic on the ground than it is underground.
In other words, defeating a red scaled dragonias or commander-ranked dragonias is difficult with Ray's magic, but it seemed possible to sweep away with Ray's magic against dragonias with scales of other colors.
Nevertheless...... Ray turns his gaze towards Vihella.
There, we finally found the enemy's home base. I mean, I'm happy to be able to fight the mighty enemy for real, there was a vihella figure.
Someone who isn't very, but isn't likely to convince me that Ray will magically sweep the home base.
(Oh, but if I tell you that only miscellaneous fish die of my magic, can you handle it? In fact, the dragonias of gold scales and the dragonias of silver scales survived in my magic)
Judging so, Ray turns his gaze to Vihera.
"Vihera, when we get to the enemy's home base, I'm the first one to attack. My magical, dying miscellaneous fish wouldn't be funny if Vihella fought, would it?
"That's... well, let's just say that"
If you try vihella, dragonias that come at you even with an overwhelming difference in strength don't know that you're giving up, so even if it's a miscellaneous fish Ray said in that sense, they're opponents who can enjoy enough fighting.
However, the number of enemies who can fight is more limited than Vihela's health is also limited.
There are mighty enemies there, more than attacking the home of Dragonias… that is the possibility that Vihela can fight the dragonias of gold scales that she has never fought yet or, in some cases, superior beings than that.
For instance, there was plenty of sense in asking Ray's opinion.
... As for Ray, he also wanted to use the magic of flames against the basement if he could, steaming all the opponents in his home base, or killing them whenever possible by lacking acid by flames.
If it succeeds, it will make it easier to defeat enemies than to use extensive extermination magic on the ground.
Is Vihera aware of such Ray's thoughts or is she not there?
Either way, I honestly accepted Ray's suggestion.
"So now I know the enemy's home base is underground. Then... No, that's why I need Anastasia to come with me to tell me exactly where it is.... Anyway, Anastasia needs to move Spirit eggs together, what do we do?
At the moment, I'm pretty sure that's actually the biggest problem.
Anyway, Anastasia got extremely tired just moving the buried Spirit eggs to the ground.
How the hell do you carry an egg of the Spirit that drains so much?
For a moment, can I leave some of Ray here? The idea came to mind, but I can't imitate anything like that any more than Dragonias is asking for this, and I just have to carry it.
"Right. … I think it would be most reasonable to have Centaur carry it."
It was naturally the Centaurs who gave the words of Anastasia a a surprising look.
No way, he didn't think he could bring a story to himself in this situation.
"Hey, are you serious!?
The first person to raise such a voice was Asdena.
I guess I screamed that way before Zai, who led the scout team, because that's all the words out of Anastasia's mouth were unexpected.
"Yeah, I mean it.... Rest assured. Because if you don't touch it directly, there's no problem. I think if we assemble it so that it can be held by four or six or eight people, we can carry it."
Is that what those who were listening to Anastasia, who tell her grandeur? And I doubt it.
Unlike those Centaurs, Ray was somewhat reminiscent of the divine in his description of Anastasia.
Of course, even if it's made from trees, it's not that solid.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with us carrying it?... I don't think so, though, when I look at you"
Turn to Asdena, Zai asks.
If you try Zai, everyone here is the face of the scout squad... that is, his own men.
Zai may not feel so responsible just for those who have been sent as arms wrestlers by each settlement.
But still, it was only natural for Zai to think that he still had to do something about it given the current situation.
"If you can't feel spirits or magic because I'm wrapped in spiritual magic, there's nothing wrong with that for now.... but someone with the ability to do that... well, I think I might get a little drunken. I don't know what would happen if I touched the Spirit's eggs directly."
Can I really believe in those Anastasian words? Many people turn their gaze on things like that.
I guess I can't really honestly believe the Anastasian word just because I see up close the difference in being the egg of the Spirit.
But... Zai snorts at the words of Anastasia in the end.
"Okay."
"Hey, hey, Zai! Are you sure?
One of the Centaurs, are you serious? Screaming at Zai like that.
But Zai nods naturally at the words.
I'm sure there's a lot to think about inside, but I guess that's how you decide that the kind of imitation that leads a scout team to put it on his face is not very, but it can't be done.
When Zai takes such an attitude, even those who are dissatisfied with it cannot imitate that dissatisfaction in their mouths.
Reluctantly, the Centaurs decide to follow Anastasia's advice.
... At the end of the day, it would have been enough to make you feel that it is four to eight and a few people who travel with the eggs of the Spirit, even if you might not have to get involved in it.
"All right, then I'll make a table to put the eggs of the Spirit on quickly. The ingredients… should I use the walls around the settlement"
Quite a few walls have been destroyed by the raids of Dragonias, but not all of them are useless nonetheless.
There are also a number of trees that are missing material if you go into the woods.
(I suppose you should dry the trees... not use them for days. One day today...... or if it was far to Dragonias home, you just have to keep it until you get there)
With that in mind, Ray quickly gives the Centaurs instructions to get ready.
... Fortunately, was there someone in Centaur who was good at working that hand?
Instead of nails, it took less than thirty minutes to tie a tree to a tree using the jaws that had grown in the forest, and to create a god to carry the eggs of the Spirit.
