Legend

"What's that..."

Strange feeling, like words were born directly into your head.

For a moment...... it was really only for a moment, but Ray thinks that his current voice was probably his fault.

But if you see Vihera next door to Ray also frowning uncomfortably, it may never be like words now... or telepathy, but you were only certain that it wasn't your fault.

"Did you hear Ray, too? No, you said you heard it or that words were produced directly in your head..."

"Oh, apparently you felt the same way about me."

We gaze at each other and understand that it was with them, but with those two, Seto doesn't look that bad.

As was the case earlier, only Ray and Vihera are highly offended by the queen's ringing voice.

Seto seemed to have some discomfort as well, but it was still obvious that it wasn't actually that far.

(Why? After all, is it a question of whether you're a person or not? No, well, me and Vihera aren't exactly people.)

Ray is a body created by collecting pieces of Zeppyre technology.

Vihera, too, used to be a normal person, but now absorbing a vicious monster named Ambris in one case makes it difficult to call her a human being.

In that sense, it's hard to call them both human to be exact... but still, Ray's mind was meant to be human.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle!"

Once again the roar of the queen echoes in the underground space, and at the same time this one likewise produces words in the heads of Ray and Vihera.

"Seeking... I desire... strength... same... thee"

It was similar to earlier that words were produced, but the problem is that the only words produced are words, and the Queen doesn't know exactly what she wants to say.

"Ouch!... In the first place, can I assume that communicating the word over here by such means means means understands the word over here? Not very much, but it doesn't look like it."

Ray looks at the queen, frowning at the pain of words born in her head.

Existence there is not very much, but not what the name Queen deserves, but queen in this case is not queen in the sense of being at the top of the country, queen in the sense of queen ants or queen bees...... queen dragonias.

Beyond that, it must be natural in some ways that queen ants specialize in the ability of queen dragonias to produce dragonias, as queen bees lay bee eggs.

"I wonder. Even by that means, I think it's okay to assume that you know what we're saying."

The pain when words are born in your head is not that long.

Vihera also tells Ray yes, where the pain has disappeared by the word.

"Well, I hope so.... So, did Vihella figure anything out from that word?

"That's a hard part. Only words are born inside your head, so how do you connect them to other words..."

"Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle!"

"Shit, not again!?

Ray, who was in conversation with Vihera, once again complains about the voice rising out of the queen's mouth in an unexpected way.

And in the next moment, words were born again in Ray's head.

"Hope... Power... Block... Reproduction... Growth... Me"

As always, words come to mind.

But were you listening to Ray and Vihera's conversation, or was it simply a coincidence?

Either way, with that word that was born in Ray's head, I could somehow have predicted what Dragonias wanted.

"Power, lump... this is about the eggs of the Spirit, after all, considering what other dragonias have been after, isn't it?

"So, reproduction, growth, I mean... with the eggs of the Spirit, the rate at which Dragonias increases is higher than it is now?

The moment we tell them that, if they are what they expected, they understand that it will never be a snort.

If Ray and Vihella's predictions are correct, if the Queen gets the eggs of the Spirit she's craving, its breeding power...... no, since from what Ray seemed to see, the Queen doesn't need a male and can produce Dragonias herself alone, it was doubtful if I could call it breeding, but it would definitely increase the rate of producing Dragonias anyway.

Even in the present situation, Centaur is devastated by Dragonius, but what happens if the number of Dragonius increases further here?

Even though the numbers are decreasing in this meadow, the Centaurs have managed to remain in the meadow.

What would happen if the number of dragonias increased any further would not even have to be thought about.

If so, as Ray, who is on that Centaur's side, there was no way to follow the Queen's word to hand over the eggs of the Spirit in order to produce Dragonias any more.

(In the first place, I came here only to destroy the people here who are the home of Dragonias. Then I'm not going out of my way to do something like follow their words here)

Decide so, and open your mouth as you prepare to get Death Size and Dusk Spears out of Mystering so you can attack at any time.

"Sorry, but I can't give you Spirit eggs because I have business to use over here"

... In fact, there is no such thing as running errands using Spirit eggs.

In the first place, Spirit eggs are only hypothetically named that way from the outside, because Ray doesn't even know what substitute Spirit eggs actually are.

(Though, I guess I'll have to figure out what to do with that Spirit egg)

The Centaurs also feel the power of the overwhelming Spirit felt from the Spirit's eggs.

But quite a few Centaurs originally have the wizard's aptitude.

Among other things, being a spiritual wizard would be even less numerous.

It was also easy for Ray to imagine that it would just be an unwanted commotion if we managed to leave the eggs of the Spirit in this case alone with those Centaurs.

...... I didn't mind Ray bringing home the eggs of the Spirit again though.

Shouldn't I just leave it with Grimm? It's not like there isn't either.

The existence of the egg of the Spirit should have been very interesting only to Grimm, who is curious in a different way than Anastasia.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle!"

And, as Ray thinks about the eggs of the Spirit, the queen's squeal echoes around him again.

And once again, the Queen's words are born in Ray's head.

"Life... Birth... Hunger... I Want... Blood Cells"

The first word somehow made sense.

Although it was nuanced as though it was only that direction, not in the exact sense.

But the problem is the word last blood cell.

Ray doesn't understand what the hell that means.

(Normally, when it comes to blood cells, I think of white blood cells and stuff like that, but in this world... I don't think that's the Dragonias who are moving by instinct know the word white blood cells. Because... what does the word blood cell mean now? Normally, blood cells...... I guess it's a blood sphere)

Not knowing where the hell the word blood cells came from, Ray turns his gaze to the queen again.

But the Queen doesn't care about it at all.

"Can you understand my words?

For once, that's what I was going to ask Ray, but there's no way the queen's going to react to anything.

That is what exists as a huge chunk of meat in front of you in such a way as total non-response.

(Can't you understand what I'm saying? No, well, it wouldn't be so strange to think that way the way I saw it... that's hard to deal with. First of all, I guess we're going to fight eventually, so should we even launch a pre-emptive attack?

I didn't think so, but if you imitate like that in this situation right now, it will undoubtedly be a big fight.

It would undoubtedly be troublesome to be in such a situation in such a place.

Alternatively, if the dragonias around the Rays are regular dragonias, we can think of Rays doing the battle as well.

But it's not the normal dragonias that are here right now, it's the special dragonias.

White, black, and the smallest number...... I mean, apart from exceptions like the Queen among dragonias, there are seven colored scales of dragonias that would have the highest ability.

We haven't actually fought yet, so we don't know how strong those dragonias are. I don't know, but still, given this one thing, I was sure it was strong.

Even the dragonias of the golden scales were never all-powerful: on the back of Seto, where Ray was flying in the sky, but still the spear of dusk thrown was diverted to the dragonias of the golden scales.

Of course, the golden scale dragonias that did it are not safe either.

Among the very high defensive gold scales, the part that touched the spear of dusk... no, even the untouched part was stripped, crushed, pierced and damaged very heavily.

(I bet they're stronger than the dragonias of gold scales. If these guys would do less damage and do something about the spear of dusk)

Ray turned his gaze to the black, white, and seven-colored dragonias with that thought, but if that gaze was pointed at him, there's nothing like reacting to Ray's gaze as to whether the queen is ordering him to do something.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle, giggle!"

"Thou... destiny... determination... death... life..."

"Ouch!... Do you think you'll get used to this in a little while?

The sound of the queen again and Ray showing disgust at the words born in her head.

When it comes, whatever it is that signals it and then makes the squeal, the squeal is sudden.

The fact was that there was nothing more we could do about it now than be.

"I don't know. I think this pain, or disgust, is already instinctive. I don't think I'd get used to it if I kept asking, or like to get used to it."

The words of Vihera were also convincing to Ray.

It sounds like scratching a blackboard with your fingernails... it's more impossible to get used to it.

Neither could Ray answer that he would get used to the Queen's words if asked if he could get used to them, just like Vihera, nor did he want to hang out with the Queen until he got used to them.

"Right, I agree with that opinion.... However, the problem is that words don't make sense, so how do I communicate this reply?"

Whatever you say in the present situation, more than words don't make sense, it doesn't tell the Queen what will the Rays want to show.

I came this far with the dragonias of copper scales as directions, so it wasn't strange to think that I had some means at my disposal.

"What do you do with that reply, even if you reply? Can I assume it's already settled?

"I'm sure Vihella knows that.

Ask Vihera, who has visited to tease herself, Ray teases again in the same way.

Vihera smiled happily at how Ray looked like that.

That's the laugh characteristic of Vihella looking forward to fighting the strong enemy, not the kind of opponent who can defeat the battle... lightly either.

You felt something in Vihera's grin, and the surrounding dragonias, who until now had little or no reaction to what the Rays were talking about, aligned themselves and moved their bodies, even slightly.

Before the battle, I guess I felt something like a naturally rising struggle.

White, black, transparent, seven colors...... Ray opens his mouth as he sees the reaction of those dragonias.

"The answer is no. You have no choice but to have the worst relationship with Centaur so far."

Yes, at the end of the day, whatever conditions the Queen put forth, the answer as Ray was decided.

If this, or in a situation where Centaur really can't do anything about it anymore, and survival is weak to such an extent as a dozen, there would have been an option to ride the Queen's proposal, which in a sense could also be called a surrender recommendation.

Fortunately, however, the current Centaur has been eaten and vandalized by Dragonias in a literal sense, but still a significant number survive.

I can't tell you exactly because I didn't confirm all Centaur, but the battle ratio between Centaur and Dragonias in the meadow is four to six... But if Ray and the others add to that, five to five... If we stop by, it was Ray's expectation that we could reverse it up to six to four.

"I mean... here's the reply!

With those words, Ray took the Death Size and the Dusk Spear out of the Mystering and prepared them for a collision.
