Legend

To be guided by the dragonias of copper scales, for a few hours.

In those hours, the Rays stepped a considerable distance.

The fact that the dragonias of copper scales came to guide us is because they decided that they were not willing to trap themselves.

In fact, it wasn't weird for Dragonias, who are in countless numbers, to be able to kill about one dragonias of copper scales, the Rays, to be happy to wind them up...... Still, given the current situation, it was Rays' expectation that they would still be okay.

And in fact, Ray and Vihera rode on Seto's back and ran with the copper scaly dragonias... which is why we could have stepped an impossible distance if we were just walking normally in a matter of hours.

Among other things...

……

Ray watched the presence at the end of his gaze, losing his words.

From the time I was far away, I knew there was something huge at the end of my gaze.

It was the home of Dragonias in the true sense, probably present in this underground space where Dragonias is based as far as Ray is concerned… I mean, that's what I thought the only site I'm on right now is the home of Dragonias in the true sense of the word, the presence that was far ahead of my gaze.

But... if that far-sighted existence were the home of Dragonias, it wouldn't imitate things like that moving.

Yeah, that definitely worked.

To be honest, I didn't think Ray was a creature when I saw his presence, though not very much.

But if you see it move, you can only recognize that that's clearly the enemy.

"Is that... could that be Queen Ant or Queen Bee, Queen Dragonias?

Finally, I break the silence and Ray squeals like that.

Then he opens his mouth in such a way that Vihella can't believe that he returned this one to me in such Ray's words.

"Huge monsters, I've seen so many times before... this is, honestly, startling"

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto rattles to agree with Vihera's words.

Seto's ringing is different than usual, and the color of the surprise is strong.

Until now, Ray and Seto have seen a variety of opponents in Elgin.

Many of them were giant monsters, but the presence that seemed to be the queen of Dragonias at the end of his gaze was extraordinary among them.

… Of course, in terms of pure strength, this dragonias queen is by no means the strongest than the presence of a grimm-like girder.

Also, since Vihera and Ray acted together... no, even before we acted together, we have seen many monsters, but still the Queen of Dragonias was a notable being.

(Well, given all that mass production of dragonias, do we need this size?

Ray was convinced of the number of dragonias, but there was still something surprising.

The fact that the Queen exists there is a natural story, but the children... the normal Dragonias also exist there.

Moving your gaze down from the Queen of Dragonias, what lies ahead is Dragonias on one side.

It was thousands, or tens of thousands, of dragonias.

The majority of dragonias are red scaled dragonias, probably because many of the ordinary dragonias were still burned to death by the magic of Ray and turned into charcoal.

(Normally, apart from the red scale dragonias, there were many different colored scale dragonias. I don't know exactly how much you burned those people to death, but you still burned quite a few of them to death. And then... how many were there?

Ray knows that the flames created by his magic are extremely powerful.

That's not overconfidence or anything, and it's obvious if you think about how many Dragonias bodies there were between entering the underground space and getting here.

That's why it wasn't uncommon to travel while trampling and crushing the dragonias that turned it into charcoal.

Given that, it's obvious how vicious the magic of Ray was in all its power.

But... even though that's all magic was used and countless dragonias were burned to death, it should still be noted that there are now numerous dragonias at the end of Ray's gaze.

(What is this... if I didn't use magic, I wonder how many the hell there would have been)

Huge...... looking at the overly huge dragonias queen, followed by the countless dragonias gathered around that queen, Ray thinks so.

At the same time, there was a thought in Ray that it would be troublesome to deal with the red scaled dragonias.

He was Ray, who specializes in wide-area extermination magic, but only using flaming magic.

There was no doubt that defeating them was much more troublesome than the magic of flames could not be used for red scaled dragonias.

Of course, Ray's method of attacking isn't the only one that uses magic.

There are methods of attacking using Death Size and its skills, and there are methods of attacking using Dusk Spears.

However... there is still a limit to how many you can kill at a time.

(If these numbers hit me all at once... that would be a pain in the ass. If we consolidate our defenses with terrain manipulation and destroy them, can we deal with them? No, but given the size of the dirt wall I saw on my way here, I don't know if Queen or dirt magic is a specialty dragonias, but you're definitely more skilled than me)

Using topographical manipulation to build trenches makes no sense if it is lightly disabled.

What comes to Ray's mind then is the means to make an attack while flying in the sky on Ceto.

Because it is possible for Vihera to fly with you if you grab it on Seto's feet.

Nevertheless, some Dragonias are capable of ranged attacks.

The speckled dragonias will lead the way.

That is why such imitation cannot be bypassed in the present circumstances.

Soil magic...... or maybe it's like skill, not magic, but given that there are dragonias with such abilities, it's also unclear what other dragonias have.

Not to mention, this is the home of Dragonias, so that's not strange to have a kind of Dragonias that Ray has never seen before.

"Npadatanata"

Seeing the Rays stop moving, the copper scaly dragonias that have guided us so far leak such a voice.

You're wondering what the hell's going on.

That was understandable to Ray, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the sight currently spreading in front of Ray.

"So, Ray. What are we going to do now?

That's what Vihera asks Ray, looking back at me.

"I don't care what they say. You can't stop here any longer than the copper scale dragonias are trying to guide me. I don't want them to think I ran away."

That's what I'd say Ray, but I can see Dragonias' thoughts are very different from humans... and Centaur's as well.

As Ray's sandwich showed in terms of deliciousness and attitude, it doesn't make such a difference from Ray in terms of taste at least.

But Dragonias is a very different species.

It's no stranger if the feeling is similar to that of the Rays than it was of the Dragonias who came to pick up Rays.

That's what makes the individual difference so much that some of the other dragonias at the end of their gaze might not have thought it would taste good to eat the sandwich earlier.

"Narenammana"

When the dragonias of copper scales say so, the dense dragonias that existed to protect the queen that existed in the center make way.

There is still a considerable distance to where the Queen is, but a path is created that leads to that place.

(This... no, isn't that surprising? If it's a golden scale dragonias, I've been controlling the dragonias for about this long)

Ray was just a little surprised by the dragonias' movements, but when you think about it, you understand that's not so surprising.

Still, the dragonias of gold scales Ray had previously seen, to so many dragonias... not to mention that it was the commanding dragonias that had no way of giving orders.

In that sense, I can still understand firmly that the Queen is special enough that Ray doesn't have any more.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"

You're not going? and a throat-beating ceto.

Because I believe in my strength, and in the strength of Ray and Vihera, I guess I have no hesitation whatsoever in proceeding through the herd of Dragonias either.

When he strokes Seto's head like that, Ray smiles and opens his mouth.

"Right. I can't do this here forever. … go."

That's right, Ray walks out.

The dragonias who made way have no particular reaction when Ray moves.

It is that, on the ground, you have a vihela with soft meat that you would like to eat and kill first if Dragonias found it, and a body that is not so different in size from Dragonias, even though there is an obviously satisfying ceto in terms of eating well.

(In that sense, why do you care if I'm the safest of all)

A man who is small and not musculoskeletal, but who deserves to be trained, so if you try Dragonias, Ray is definitely such an opponent that he is not fit to eat and the meat is stiff.

(Lean? No, we talked about even lean meat being delicious if cooked properly... i.e., an old chicken or something?

When Ray was in Japan, he kept chickens at home.

Basically, it's for fighting chickens, but there are different kinds of things inside that are for meat or laying eggs.

Still quite young...... I eat tight before I start calling myself an old chicken, but occasionally some chickens were like surviving until I became an old chicken for some reason.

Old chickens like that end up strangling and going up to the table… naturally, old chickens are stiff.

Nevertheless, if you imitate things like simmering for a long time to take stock, you can still eat it softly... which means you can't eat it deliciously unless you put enough hands on it.

And Dragonias doesn't have the concept of cooking, as you can see from the reaction of a copper scale dragonias when they see a sandwich.

You would naturally think that because you are dominated by hunger, you want to eat meat a little faster.

"What's the matter, you look kind of strangely sorry."

That's what Vihera, who was inadvertently going next door, says as she walks down the empty path of Dragonias.

"No, if you try Dragonias, I guess Vihera and Seto are edible, but compared to that, I guess I'm not very edible."

"... why do you look so sorry?"

Hearing Ray's words, coming out of Vihera's mouth was a mixed word.

If you try it on Vihera, things like you seem delicious to Dragonias are not funny.

It is helpful in the sense that when fighting Dragonias, it is shown as an ability to attract, but that is why it is never interesting to see yourself as a delicious piece of meat.

Most of all, I had no hesitation in using it if it was a fight.

"I wonder why.... It feels subtle not to be dealt with by Dragonias, even in a bad way."

"Yes.... oh? But he doesn't think so, does he?... Are you launching an attack?

What Ray saw following Vihera's gaze, who for some reason is happy or tells him how he expected it to be, was the dragonias of gold scales.

Ray crushed several strongholds and defeated the dragonias he attacked, but only twice did he see the dragonias of gold scales.

That's even escaped once.

Think of it, the presence at the end of my gaze… the dragonias of gold scales, when I see that there is also a group of nearly a hundred people, I feel somewhat subtle together with surprise.

I was wondering if it was a very rare existence, because there are so many dragonias of gold scales, naturally.

Especially with one of those golden scale dragonias pointing a strong gaze at Ray.

(Probably an individual who ran away at that time)

There is no certainty that Ray can discern the dragonias of the gold scale.

But it was also true that if there was a dragonias of gold scales that would turn a strong gaze so far against Ray, that was all I could think of.
