Legend

Viewing the body of Dragonias burning by Ray's magic, Vihera opens her mouth looking slightly dissatisfied, coming to its next door.

"So you let the golden scale dragonias escape after all."

"It will.... I ask you once, you didn't run into me that way, did you?

To Ray's inquiry, Vihera nods back.

Or wasn't the dragonias of gold scales headed towards the Vihelas and the others while Ray was defeating Dragonias? The thought was also in Ray, but from the way the Vihelas and the others came, that didn't look like it at all.

... If Vihera had fought the dragonias of gold scales, that would be the time she would be happy to say.

Also, I'm pretty sure he looked happy with the look on Vihera's face.

It was also easy for Ray to predict that the absence of it would still mean that there had been no encounter with the dragonias of gold scales.

"When that happens, where do you think that golden scale dragonias went?

"Normally, they must have retreated to their home base or stronghold with our information."

Ordinary dragonias cannot make such calm decisions in relation to being dominated by hunger.

But I knew in my previous battles that if I were as strong as I could command the other dragonias, starting with the dragonias of the gold scale, I would have a clear intelligence.

... but so far, even though we have a lot of intelligence, the only thing we did, such as retreat after getting our own information and bring that information back... was the copper scale dragonias.

I could only be convinced to behave like that for a copper scale dragonias who are not confident in their fighting power... as far as Ray knows, it was totally unexpected that the strongest dragonias gold scale dragonias would do such imitation.

"When that happens, what do you think will happen now? The fact that Ray and Seto were returning with information means that Dragonias could use some means to counter it."

"Even if they say so.... Possible possibilities are enough to increase the ratio of red scaled dragonias?

Of the dragonias, the only one with the strength to withstand the magic of Ray is the red scaled dragonias.

So if Ray were told what the easiest way to deal with it would still be to increase the number of red scaled dragonias.

Even when dragonias with scales of other colors come, if that's Ray, you can magically override them, because yes, you also understand dragonias of gold scales.

Nevertheless, it is only against the magic of Ray that we can deal with with with the red scaled dragonias, and not with battles using Death Size or Dusk Spears.

... In fact, almost all of the bodies of Dragonias burned by Ray belonged to Dragonias the Red Scale.

The dragonias of scales of other colors had first been erased by the magic used by Ray, so there were no bodies left of them.

"How is it that the dragonias of gold scales come in groups?

"I think that would be... pretty tough if that actually happened. But it's actually hard to imitate that, isn't it?

Until now, Ray has exterminated several Dragonias strongholds and moving populations.

The only dragonias of gold scales encountered in that were the first base and this time twice.

In other words, among the dragonias that exist in large numbers, I am sure that the dragonias of gold scales are very rare.

(I mean rare, even though I've only encountered spotted dragonias once)

The speckled dragonias that come with ranged attacks, which should also be called blood lasers, are definitely troublesome for Ray as well.

Basically, Dragonias, who can only fight at close range, can attack from a distance.

Those who are accustomed to fighting Dragonias will be persuaded of their intentions.

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure we've gone back to our base or home base more than the Golden Scale Dragonias have disappeared. Maybe... you didn't fight to see how powerful we were, but you were watching us fight."

Or if we can defeat Dragonius and the others, it's possible that we thought we could do something about it.

I don't put it directly in my mouth there, I just think in my heart.

In fact, Ray doesn't seem so wrong about that idea of his.

Because normally, if you are attacked by a large number of dragonias, it is not strange that you can't help but be devoured and eaten to death.

"Right.... Unfortunately, we may have to move on now. However, I think you'll need to be more careful with your camp today than you've ever been."

The dragonias of the golden scale are not necessarily going to make a night raid.

Ray nods again at the words of Vihera, who says so in the dark.

Given the high intelligence that the dragonias of gold scales possessed, the possibility was an undeniable fact.

Neither does Ray know exactly what the enemy will do in the present situation.

But if we try Dragonias, we have the eggs of the Spirit we were looking for, so we won't have a choice not to take them away from us.

Although Ray had no idea whether Dragonius recognized the eggs of the Spirit as the eggs of the Spirit, or whether it was simply anything that emitted the power of the powerful Spirit.

In the first place, the name Spirit Egg was also given by Rays because of its appearance and impression.

Perhaps there is actually a different name.

(Can't I think of anything around here? Anyway, all I can do right now... is find the home of Dragonias a little faster and destroy it)

In the end, if that doesn't work out, it's likely that the Rays will always continue to be raided by the Dragonias.

That is why we now needed to do our original purpose in a little hurry.

"All right, let's go! If I stay here forever, it won't be long before Dragonias strikes again!

To such Ray's words, the line begins to move again.

It was a natural conclusion that if we were to stay here forever and not necessarily be attacked by Dragonias again, we should move out of here a little faster.

That's how the scout team starts moving.

Traces of the battle against Dragonias remain colorful, this place.

In passing there, some Centaur apparently understood the intensity of the battle and felt a lot of things.

"Hey, dude. Again... the battle of Ray and Seto is cod."

"That's more of a story now, isn't it? Ray and Seto... and given the presence of Vihera..."

Rather than Ray or Seto, I probably felt the most horrified when I came up with Vihera's name because I still do mock wars with Vihera more than once.

We beat ourselves up directly... that's not why we're beating ourselves up by a slight difference in strength, but just because we're beaten up by a difference in strength until it's overwhelming, it was only natural to fear Vihera more than Ray or Seto.

Of course, I don't think Ray or Seto are weaker than Vihera.

Because the sight of Ray and Seto actually fighting Dragonias is seen with their eyes more than once.

But... Still, compared to Vihera, who tasted its strength directly himself, Vihera rises as an object of fear and awe.

"But according to Vihera's story, you've never won a mock fight with Ray, have you?

"You're lying, it..."

One of the Centaurs, who was listening a little further away, squeals like it's incredible.

Those who were listening to the story had nothing to say directly to their voices, but they all felt the same.

Nevertheless, some of them open their mouths slightly better than others have heard of it.

"That sounds true. Vihera herself isn't hiding it, so if you ask, she'll tell you normally.... I just feel sick of hearing that story."

Originally, Centaur was a strong species.

Among such centaurs, many of those participating in this reconnaissance team were known as arms handlers among their respective settlements.... Though the strongest class of settlements in the true sense is not part of this reconnaissance team, thinking about the time of need.

That's why Vihela is more overwhelming to the Centaurs than we are... and Ray's presence that even that Vihela can't win.

Considering them, to be honest, I care about what should be called a wall of strength, though not very much.

"Hey, it's time for you to take turns!

It was the voices heard from a little further away that made the Centaurs feel fed up back to me.

Turning his gaze to those who speak, there are the Centaurs who are in charge of the gods with the eggs of the Spirit on them.

... By the way, the thing about Shinto is that Ray called it Shinto, so it's also called Shinto by the Centaurs.

I didn't know the true meaning of the word "divine," but I suppose that's what you thought, nevertheless, that this kind of thing calls divine.

The weight of the Spirit's egg itself is not that heavy.

That's about as much as Centaur can carry alone.

But...... it's still moving on the divine because I don't know what the hell happens when I touch the eggs of the Spirit directly.

I carry it in a shrine to avoid it, but the shrine has a lot of weight, and above all, it's not just me, but the four of us, so I really needed to time the others.

For Centaur, I wonder what that's tough on.

Anastasia also tells me that it is safe, but there are still things that I think differently about spiritual eggs, which also directly connect to mental fatigue.

For that reason, the Centaurs had already changed hands several times as they moved.

"Whoa, okay. Then I'll take turns."

Take turns with one of the bearers, while one of the centaurs I was talking to said so.

Several other Centaurs take turns...... The scouts move on to be led by Anastasia.

Fortunately, after that, there was nothing like encountering dragonias along the way… such good fortune was backed up by the fact that the sun was turning inclined into a sunset.

In the first place, it was today that Ray joined Anastasia.

Given the time since then, it would be too much to have gone so far in one day.

"It's time to decide on a camp.... I'd prefer a place like a rock, a forest, or a barrier if I could. I don't think there's a place like that."

Around is a meadow on one side.

The sight of the meadows dyed red in the sunset can be described as fantastic.

It's like I'm dealing with a flame that's not hot...... such a strange feeling, for some reason, a grin in Ray's mouth.

"What's going on?

"No, it's nothing"

He returns that word to Vihera, who asks him wonderingly, and gives instructions to the Centaurs to stop moving.

We have to use terrain manipulation skills to make it somewhat more wallproof than there is a place to be a shield around.

And if you're going to use terrain manipulation, that's what makes no difference anywhere in this meadow.

Then you'd better make a camp as soon as you can before the sun sets completely.

Because if we build a camp while it's bright, we can act with some leeway, even when it's dark.

"All right, then, shall we go around here? Zai, do you mind?

"Oh. Nothing wrong with this one. As Ray said, it would still have been easier with the woods and rocks... it's quicker to have Ray's magic sweep the ground than without it"

Zai snorts at Ray's words, too, and that makes up his mind.

"Anastasia, should we put the Spirit eggs in the middle of the camp?

"Yeah, do that!

From a short distance, Anastasia screams.

If you try anastasia, you don't have to bother screaming if you're on Ray's side...... the deer with Anastasia and Fana on board are still unfamiliar with Seto.

That's why we want to stay as far away from it as possible, and we act exactly as we do.

(Around here, I'd like to do something about it.... What's wrong with that?)

I'm sorry to see you have a deer. Seeing Seto do that, Ray calls out.

"Happy or unhappy, we have quite a distance to the home of Dragonias. If you have time, I think the deer will get used to Seto too, so don't worry about it"

"Gru?"

To that word, really? And Ray stroked the throat-beating cet gently.
