"This is..."

The Rays proceeded through the underground space as they trampled and crushed the corpse of the dragonias that turned into charcoal, but when they proceeded for about twenty minutes, a wall of dirt suddenly appeared in front of them.

However, the walls of its soil are also burned by the magic unleashed by Ray, and the surface is burnt.

"You have some individuals in Dragonias who use magic.... but this magic..."

Vihera was probably surprised because the dirt walls are in a straight line, going on everywhere.

This vast...... that is definitely the amazing earth wall that stands so as to delimit a place that you can call another earth.

If you have the skill of terrain manipulation, you can also use rays.... Although Death Size has actually acquired skills in Warcraft.

However, the ground that can also be moved by its topographical manipulation is that it can raise or lower the ground within a radius of seventy meters around itself by one hundred and fifty centimeters.

Not very much, but I can't imitate making dirt walls this long.

Not to mention that the height of the dirt wall is also overwhelmingly higher than the dirt wall that Ray makes with terrain manipulation.

This means that the existence that created this earthwall will be a soil magic user with at least more than the skills of terrain manipulation with a death size.

"Normally, that's not the kind of substitute you can have for dragonias around there.... If you can think of it, is it the dragonias of gold scales? Or... spotted dragonias?

As far as Ray knows, the copper scale dragonias were small and highly covert and intelligent, but that's all they were.

Silver dragonias are basically forms that are specific to combat.

However... if you become a dragonias of gold scales, you can use magic to make them feel amazing.

Spotted dragonias are no stranger to the fact that ordinary dragonias can use unusable magic than imitating blood lasers.

(Except for the speckle pattern and the dragonias of gold, silver, and copper scales, if there isn't another kind of dragonias)

It's no stranger to having a kind of dragonias here that Ray hasn't seen before than this is the home of Dragonias.

Most importantly, dragonias are very individual, so it was possible that some individuals could use magic even if they were copper or silver scale dragonias.

"Queen."

After all, when that's most likely, Ray mouths the word.

The presence that still stands at the apex of Dragonias is the Queen...... not necessarily like Queen Ants or Queen Bees, but still when I am shown the habit of being so close to Ants, I find myself most likely to do so as a Ray.

"You're the queen.... Even if it does, I think it's beyond this dirt wall, what are we going to do? Break it?"

"No, you don't have to bother breaking it. If you get over it, that's fine."

Whimpering, Ray activates Slapenil's shoes, kicks in the air and crosses the wall without a shrug.

Vihera jumped lightly and hooked the magic claw she had laid out on her armor to the wall, using it as a fulcrum and jumping with just the force of her arm, she gently overcame the wall.

And...... Seto is a natural story, but he jumps over the wall without any particular problems than having wings.

"It's the same here, huh?"

The only thing that was ahead beyond the wall was charcoal spreading all around it, dragonias burned exactly like earlier.

It's just... the difference is that something exists in a place far away... where even Ray's eyesight only appears to be rice grain size.

"... what do you think? That."

Just a fair distance away, I don't know what's ahead of my gaze.

But it wasn't hard to predict that being visible even at this distance would have a considerable size.

"Come on? On normal terms, isn't that Dragonias' nest?

"... are there more nests in the home base? No, well, if it's this vast underground space, it's not unlikely."

What Ray has in mind is a noble mansion that he has seen several times before.

There was no vast lot so far, but there were still nobles with a pretty vast lot.

For such aristocrats, it is not uncommon to have a mansion behind the grounds.

Nevertheless... this is the human... no, if Centaur had done it, Ray would have been honestly convinced too.

But it was Dragonias who created this underground space.

Above and beyond that, I don't think Dragonias has the same idea as a human being… it has the same idea as a nobleman.

From Ray's point of view, the species Centaur is not exactly the same as humans, but because the part of the idea that is similar was quite large.

"Whatever, I guess there's a dragonias queen in that huge thing"

"I guess so.... What the hell kind of person are you?

That was the Vihera who asks, but Ray can't explain the existence of Dragonias, who also comes across common sense in many ways, to how well he is.

"Normally, you'd have a firm will, just like a commander-level dragonias."

That's all I could say for sure.

They've attacked the settlement more than once to get the Spirit's eggs.

Based on the way Dragonius attacked us, we could see it as a gradual force input, but we could also see it as a corrugated attack using quantity.

It was also a little inconceivable for Ray that the existence at its apex was not as intelligent as ordinary dragonias, beyond the presence of numerous dragonias with the presence of intellect, beginning with the dragonias of the gold scales...

That wasn't just Ray, it was the same with Vihera and Seto, each nodding at Ray's words.

"Though..."

Vihera, who was listening to Ray, continues her words a little funny.

"Even if Ray's predictions are wrong, I think that's going to be interesting."

"With or without intelligence, I'm pretty sure it's easier to fight without it."

With that conversation, you two and one proceed inside the underground space.

There are many of them, trampling and crushing the charcoal of Dragonias.

That's how I keep walking, but I never see the walls underground.

Is that really why this underground space is so vast in the meadows of the earth?

It would also be natural for Ray to think that way.

"Hey, Ray.... you think this underground space was done by Dragonias boss after all? Or, actually, there was a huge underground space around here, and Dragonias and the others were just using it as their home base."

"I don't know. If I could, it would have been better for me."

When it comes to creating this vast space with some power - perhaps the Spirit, Ray expects - it becomes the bearer of extraordinary strength.

Not a very happy story as Ray if you think it could be a battle with such an opponent.

(If you have a demon stone, I'm sure you could have expected it from the Warcraft thing.)

If you are a powerful monster, you can acquire powerful skills from that Demon Stone.

Only from Ray's experience...... I'd rather not be a powerful monster if I could than the Queen of Dragonias not have a demon stone.

Most importantly, that's only Ray's idea, and if you try to make it a Vihella that goes next to Ray, you want to fight powerful monsters.

"Whatever it is, we have to move on now.... but I wonder how far it will go. If you do it badly, you might have the possibility of camping in this basement."

"That's... a little unsavory. Anyway, we don't leave food for the people who left it on the ground."

In other words, if Ray and the others camp in this basement, the Centaurs can't eat.

Of course, some people will actually have some kind of dried meat kind of thing, so I guess that means they can't eat anything at all.

But in the end, they all can be satisfied with more than quite a few pieces of food they have… On the contrary, it was also a delicate matter of whether they would go to everyone in the first place.

"That's... but you're not going back now? Well, in Ray's case, there's Seto, so if you want to go back, you'll be back soon."

Given Seto's speed of flight, what Vihella is saying is never wrong.

Nevertheless, if you ask me if that's why I do such imitations, it was different from the story.

"No, I'll stop it. Besides... if you can imitate that, that's the way to fly around here on Ceto..."

"You can't imitate an enemy like that more than an intelligent enemy is waiting for you, can you?

"It will."

Ray returns that to Vihera, who tells her to take over her own words.

Dragonias have no idea what kind of trap there is beyond individual differences.

If so… In some cases, flying through the sky, it was abundantly possible that the kind of steel thread was rigged with something as sticky as a spider's nest.

"This is how we walk without any problems, but it doesn't change that this is the home of our enemies. If that happens, I don't know where the trap is.... but I don't think you need to worry so much about Ray's magic, even if there's a trap."

"Then I guess the real deal is after the dragonias run out of charcoal"

Walk with words like that, but naturally its speed is not that fast...

"After all, why don't we get on Ceto and move?

Such words leak from Ray's mouth.

"Um... You know you couldn't do that because there could be a trap in the air earlier, right?

"You don't fly and move in the sky, you run on the ground. Well, if there's a trap, it's magically burned, isn't it?

"... I see"

Vihera also silences herself for a few seconds with a slight surprise, but eventually nods as she is convinced.

As Vihella said earlier, even if there were some kind of trap on the ground, it should have been burned with earlier magic.

The problem was where it wasn't on the ground...... if a trap existed at some height, but if it was Ray, Vihera or Seto, it's likely that you could spot the trap beforehand.

Nevertheless, that's what Ray suggested because he has as much strength as he can deal with right away when something happens than he is still certain.

"Seto, can you ask me? When it comes to travelling on Ceto, Ceto is the most dangerous thing if there is a trap. Then…"

"Gru!"

Don't let Ray say it till the end, Seto makes a squeal when he leaves it to himself.

"... bad. Please."

Ray strokes with gratitude for Seto, who brings him so far for himself.

He was Seto, who was being caressed by Ray with joy, but after a few minutes he gave himself up in a regrettable way, making Ray and Vihella in an easy position to ride.

Ray and Vihera get on Ceto's back like that...... eventually Ceto kicks the ground and runs out.

The shock collapsed the dragonias-shaped charcoal that was nearby, but to Ceto... and Ray, I don't mean to worry about it either.

That's how Seto runs out so fast that he wants to say what the speed has been.

(Still, in this vast space, I don't know exactly how fast you're running)

There is no such thing as a particular landmark only in the vast underground space.

In a way, it would be similar to a meadow.

Nevertheless, many places are naturally different in meadows and underground spaces.

"Hey, Ray.... If it's a landmark, I knew you'd want that one, right?

That said, Vihera, who was riding behind Ray, points forward.

I was at the end of that finger... or what happened was something I could see earlier.

Quite far... That's what I could see earlier, but I still don't know what it is.

Even though Seto was not running at full speed, even though he was running at considerable speeds, he could not see that completely.

"Mark that one? You can barely change the size when Seto runs, can you?

"Isn't it better than nothing? Besides... most of it means it's a little different in size."

"It's... well"

In fact, that word is an unmistakable fact.

A little... really little by little, but the presence ahead of the underground space is getting bigger.

The problem would be that you still don't know what that growing thing is.

(Though, if my predictions are correct, maybe that one...)

With Death Size and Dusk Spears in his hand, Ray stared at something ahead of his gaze, no matter what happened.
