At the end of the day, it comes to the conclusion that the attack on the Queen will be done after some proximity... the Rays approach the Queen.
Compared to the first contact with the Queen, the difference from the present is historical.
Above all, the big difference would still be that there is not a single dragonias around.
The magic Ray used before entering the underground space resulted in numerous at that point... which is why countless dragonias were dead, but still quite a few still survived.
The majority of them were red scaled dragonias that could survive in the flames created by Ray's magic, but now there is not a single figure of that red scaled dragonias here.
Other than that, there are few dragonias of other colors who were lucky enough to survive Ray's flames, and no dragonias of commanding rank with high intelligence.
All that massive dragonias were also killed by Ray, Vihera and Seto.
Or maybe a few of them still have surviving dragonias, but if you try the Rays, such opponents are not the ones to care about.
"You didn't think it would be so easy to get around just because the Dragonias were gone"
"Back then, we had to go down that road because Dragonias and the others were avoiding it and making their way... but now, we don't have to worry about that road"
It was a smudging vihella, but what is on that expression is not as serene a colour as the words.
What we are waiting for is a battle with the Dragonias... queen.
Beyond that, as a matter of course, Vihera is about to leave herself to the fighting lust that dwells inside her body in search of a battle with her mighty enemies.
Still, I guess this is how I'm able to have a conversation with Ray, because that's how well Vihella is able to control the fighting appetite in me.
From the time of the hearts and minds...... no, maybe I would have dated him since he was raw in the world. Just the fighting greed, Vihella's strong mental strength was good at controlling it.
"It's nice to be free to walk. … first, head to where the spear of dusk reaches"
If Ray is now activating the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, maybe he can throw it from here and reach the Queen.
But an attack doesn't mean it should be delivered, but it needs to be dealt damage when it arrives and hits the target.
In that sense, it's hard to make the Queen hit even if Ray throws a spear of dusk from here now that he's activating the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.
Above all, there's too much distance, and that's the shield against attack using dirt spiritual magic... or it could have taken a more unexpected way of defending itself.
(Besides, I don't know how intelligent the Queen is, but I'm sure she sees the sight of me throwing a spear of dusk. More than that, even imitating to deal with it immediately...... not strange)
Even against the last survival of the dragonias of the seven-colored scales, it was the throwing of the spear of dusk that eventually knocked them down.
That's why it's not surprising that the Queen is wary of how to attack it.
Thinking that way, and still having huge enemies, is not just a disadvantage to the Rays.
Enemies are huge, which also means that attacks are so easy to hit.
That's definitely in the Rays' favor.
"Gru!"
"Vihera!"
"I know!
Ray, who accidentally sounded Seto quickly and was walking down Seto with Vihera, calls Vihera's name sharply.
Naturally, Vihera reacts immediately to Ray's voice and is ready to make sure that no matter what happens soon.
And... unexpectedly, the two of us and one jumped each from the spot.
A spear of dirt grown from the ground pierces the place where the Rays were until a moment ago.
"Is this distance already in time for the Queen!
As Ray put it, the Queen is the only one who can imitate, for example, that he will attack with a spear of dirt in this situation.... In the first place, survival almost certainly only exists about the Queen.
All in all, the Rays avoided the blow of the spear of dirt, but I can only be surprised at the breadth of the range that the spiritual magic of the dirt used by the Queen reaches.
The distance from where the Rays are to the Queen is a few kilometers.
Being able to attack with dirt spiritual magic even at such a distance was a true indication of how troublesome the queen was.
"What are we going to do? Out of range once?
"That's a non-Vihera-like choice. In the first place, you think they've attacked us instantly since we got within range?
"It's..."
Given the high intelligence of the Queen, that's just because the Rays got inside their own time... doesn't mean they attack awkwardly fast.
Beyond that, even if the place where the Rays are already inside the queen's time, it's pretty much inside of it... and that's what's gonna happen.
That is why the means Ray takes here is not to step back, but to move forward.
"Let's go. If I'm late, I might be taking it down before Vihella fights.... No, Seto, can you get Vihera on board?
"Grr?...... Grr!
Seto responds with acknowledgment, while only slightly confused by Ray's words.
As for Seto, he would have wanted to run with Ray on his back if he was supposed to.
Or did you want to fly in the sky?
A queen who uses earthly spiritual magic, but naturally the attack is something that is released from the ground.
If you fly in the sky, you won't be able to deactivate it... but it will certainly still considerably limit your method of attack.
That's why it's better to fly in the sky in the present situation? And Seto thought, as Ray, the more means of attacking the Queen, the better.
Due to the difference in size, using an immersive palm would not be able to imitate something like lethal injury to the queen, but it can certainly still do damage.
If so, as Ray, I also wanted to take Vihera to where the Queen is as soon as possible.
And most importantly, Ray runs and moves faster on his own feet than he moves on a ceto than he is activating the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.
... Although running on the ground is naturally more likely to always be targeted by the Queen's unleashed spiritual magic of the earth... In that sense, there was also the idea that we could shelter some of the flying cetos and vihelas.
(The question is whether the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor can prevent the magical attack of the Soil Spirit.... about a shot, maybe it's not a bad story to try it normally)
The attacks of Dragonias could not break the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, even the attacks of Dragonias of seven colors.
Beyond that, it would be subtle to know if even the spiritual magic used by the Queen would pierce the red armor of the Flaming Emperor.
It's easier to deal with it when it's time to check it out some distance rather than see if it gets attacked and damaged close to the Queen's side.
That's what I decided...... Ray speaks to Seto and Vihera as they move around.
"I'll see if I can prevent the Queen from attacking. The next time the Queen attacks, I'll take it from the front... Never mind."
"Hey, are you okay!?
"Gru!?
I guess Ray's words were unexpected for Vihera and Seto as well.
Ray nods to Vihera and Seto with a surprising look on her face, saying she has no problem.
"If you're close to the queen and you can't do it when you have to, that's not going to be stylish. Then we need to be ready so that whatever happens at any time. Besides... if the Queen's assault doesn't get through to me, we'll have a pretty good fight ahead of us."
The only way the Queen is currently found to attack is with dirt spiritual magic.
In the literal sense, the opponent is a giant like looking up, and more than just a situation in which he can barely move, at least like other dragonias, he attacks with his nails and fangs… imitations such as… should not have been possible first.
If so, the Queen's means of attack comes limited to nature.
... In a way, making the sound of scratching the blackboard directly into the other person's head may also be a form of attack, but so far there is no way the Queen has recognized it as a means of attack.
That is why it makes so much sense in the present situation whether Ray can deactivate the spiritual magic of the earth.
Explaining the circumstances around it, Vihera and Seto each have a complex look on their face… Still, they manage to convince Ray of his words.
I guess one of the reasons we honestly nodded at Ray's suggestion is because we know with our own eyes how powerful his red armor is.
"Still... you don't look like you're going to attack me."
Stop the leg that was moving around and Vihella inadvertently speaks of such a question.
In fact, that word is correct.
After releasing the first blow of a spear of dirt released, I wondered if there would be a series of attacks... no such attacks and, on the contrary, no queen's reaction at all.
"Maybe if we attack this side in a row, we'll get used to that attack... this must be intentional. Or is there a reason why you can't use Spirit Magic continuously"
As for Ray, I want it to be the latter if I can.
But when it comes to creating such vast underground spaces with spiritual magic, it will be difficult to expect that.
In other words, the answer should consequently be the former.
(Or that the magical power of the earthly spirits is too great to be used continuously?... Can't you expect that? At times like this, you should always think about the worst)
Which would be better to challenge the queen with hopeful observations or with pessimistic observations?
Given that, as for Ray, I would choose the latter.
Of course, if you say which one is better, it would be the former who feels better.
But... if you think of yourself as someone who puts himself in battle, which is easier to deal with when you have a problem, that's still the latter.
"In the meantime, I'm pretty much sure the Queen is putting me in danger.... In that sense, it's big that you don't have to worry too much about the area"
"Be careful."
That's all I'm saying, and Vihera decides to tolerate Ray's actions for now.
... Based on Ray's condition, I guess it's also a big decision that I can't possibly stop myself from saying anything in the current situation.
Ray nods at the words of Vihera like that, daring to distance himself from Vihera or Seto, then walks out toward the Queen.
I took a distance from Vihera and Seto because I decided that when the queen attacked me, if I was on my side, it could cause damage.
That's why I needed to take a moment from the Vihelas first now to see if I could disable the spiritual magic of the earth used by the Queen with the red armor of the Flaming Emperor.
"Well, how do we get out? If I stay straight up to you, you lose the means to attack?
I didn't know if my words were audible to the Queen, but I squeal so.
However, if Ray's words had been heard, there was no denying the possibility that he would not have attacked us.
If you try to be queen, you don't have to be stupid honest with it because Ray is going to try and see what happens with his attacks intentionally.
Alternatively, there was ample potential to mix feints such as deliberately weak attacks, even when making attacks.
Does Ray think that much, too, or does he think that if he does, he can deal with it regardless of what happens?
Either way, now we go ahead and walk while we wait for the enemy to react.
Seto and Vihera going away from Ray.
However, Vihera is already on Seto's back, leaving the move to Seto.
If the Queen takes any action, Vihera and Seto will be ready to think about it so that they can act immediately.
Ray turns his thankful gaze to the Vihelas like that...... there is no way to stop his legs moving on to the Queen.
I tried to skewer from the bottom by pointing the ground earlier, so I couldn't attack it... That shouldn't have happened first.
But happiness or unhappiness, so far, there's no way the Queen is going to make an attack.
Perhaps it would be okay to be attacked by the Queen, while yes Ray thought, which is why he wanted the area to be clear quickly, thinking so... without stopping the steps, he just kept moving on.
