"... hmmm..."

A bewildered voice rises out of Ray's mouth surrounded by deep red magic.

Naturally. In response to the Queen's attack, I was trying to see if I could prevent it with the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, but the Queen who looked far away would never attack me.

It was only at first that I was somewhat nervous and... and slightly, but I was looking forward to seeing how much of the Fire Emperor's Red Armor defense was, but if I kept walking for about twenty minutes and it didn't look like I'd be attacked, I'd naturally get bored.

Seto and Vihera, who move away from Ray, were also powerless because they were nervous at first but now have no appearance of being attacked at all.

"What the hell is the Queen thinking? Now would be a great opportunity to attack."

Ray groans dissatisfied.

It was Ray walking toward the queen, but I don't think that distance was very close even if I walked for about twenty minutes.

Sometimes that's all the Queen's place is far away, but the biggest reason not to get close would be because Ray is deliberately walking slowly.

Ray's purpose is only to see if he can prevent the Queen from attacking with the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.

But does the other side understand it or not, and for whatever reason, it doesn't look like they're going to attack us at all.

(Is this... or is it also some condition for using spiritual magic?

Because of that condition, can't you attack yourself so easily?

I thought about that a while ago, but from the presence of a queen, I immediately denied the idea, but it seemed to Ray that maybe it would have fit.

Keep going, keep walking for even more than enough...... Still, Ray decides to see nothing happen.

"Vihera, Seto, if you're just walking slowly like this, you can't imitate what makes the Queen feel like a crisis. That is why it is possible that they are not attacking...... So, I'm going to pack my distance from the queen at once, but is there a problem?

"Distance? I don't mind that... are you okay?

"Well, maybe. I know exactly how awesome the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor is. I think an earlier attack like a spear of dirt would have prevented enough."

Vihera nods after a little thought to Ray, who told him that he wasn't feeling confident...... but still probably wouldn't have a problem.

Seto also rattles his throat as he accepts to see how Ray and Vihera are doing.

Seeing one of those and one, Ray focuses his consciousness on the queen who looks far away...... eventually, he runs out.

Ray's body is made with the skill of a Zeppyre Gate.

That's why even in the vegan state, the running speed is human apart... on top of that, Ray was now boosting his physical abilities by activating the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.

That's why Ray's running speed is so fast that Centaur can't keep up with him even if he runs at full speed...... Seto with Vihera on his back follows him lightly a little further away from such a ray.

Being away from Ray, but still keeping a certain distance and not further away, would be a sign that Seto also has the same physical ability as Ray using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.

(Well, how do we get out?

While glimpsing Seto running a little further away from himself, Ray takes a look at what the giant chunky queen of meat that exists at the end of her gaze does.

Ray and Seto's running speed is not comparable to when Ray was deliberately walking slowly earlier because Ray invited the Queen to attack.

Beyond that, if we imitated what we were waiting for without attacking Ray, as we had done earlier, we could be sure that we would get to just the side of the queen before it was too far away.

That's why we had to take some action before Ray arrived.

That behavior means keeping the ray away from you as a matter of course... or do something about the ray itself that's coming up.

Either way, the Queen has to take some action.

That's what I thought...... in the next moment, I wave the deep red magic that is half-reflexively covering me.

The blow is extremely powerful and lightly crushes the opponent coming down from above.

(Shatter? How much, isn't it too soft?

Now the blow, Ray, was a half-reflective roll-out, so he's not particularly hands-free.

But still, if it was the dragonias of the transparent scales we've been fighting for, even if things like being blown up or broken bones didn't get the first thing like smashing the place we hit.

If so, why was the dragonias of transparent scales so weak today?

(In the first place, where have you been... no...)

Somehow, Ray understood the identity of the earlier dragonias of transparent scales.

When she first met the Queen, the Queen was about to give birth to a number of new dragonias.

I mean, I guess the current dragonias of transparent scales have just been born.

(Softshell Club...... Was it? Is that what this is all about? I'm not eating it.)

When I was in Japan, I was reminded of the knowledge I saw in comics.

Softshell Club. It's about crabs right after they peel off.

Basically, a crab is its shell is very hard, but the shell of a freshly peeled crab is very soft, and if you cook it like fried chicken, you can eat it whole, including the shell.

A little different from such a softshell club, but it was just born that the scales with the dragonias of transparent scales never showed their original sturdiness.

Even if Ray thinks so, it's not weird.

... Though it may not make sense to think about the area now that the dragonias of transparent scales are already dead.

(Oh, but... there were quite a few dragonias the queen was about to give birth to. Is it possible, for example, that it could all be born and hit over here as a new force of war?... that's a hassle)

I said it was a hassle, but that was only a hassle, and Ray had the certainty that he could win if he fought.

In fact, the dragonias of the seven colored scales present at the top of the dragonias have been killed by Ray.

Beyond that, Ray was absolutely confident he could win unless more new species emerged than the dragonias of the seven-colored scales.

"Looks like the Queen has given birth to a new dragonias! But the scales are pretty soft because they were just born! Easy to knock 'em down!

Ray screams at Vihera and Seto.

So far, is the Queen's aim narrowed to Ray or no way to attack Seto and Vihera?

Normally, I think Seto with Vihella on his back is the easier opponent to fight... Still, does the Queen decide it's Ray who is a threat to herself, or Ray was the spearhead of the transparent scale Dragonias attack.

(No, well, it's impossible in the first place to understand all the enemy's aims with just one dragonias of transparent scales)

It would have been given birth anew by the Queen, the Dragonias.

If all those attacks are focused on Ray, that's not surprising that the Queen is looking to eliminate Ray as a top priority.

But...... so far, the only dragonias that have attacked Ray are the transparent scaly dragonias in the soft shell club state.

(No, well, given the ratio of normal dragonias to intelligent dragonias, I know there aren't many individuals with intelligence in a single birth)

Also, even intelligent individuals have a limited number of opponents who can attack in such situations now that the Queen and the Rays are away.

Is that the speckled or white scaled dragonias that can be used for ranged attacks, or the transparent scaled dragonias that have very high jumping power using optical camouflage?

... Of course, there is still quite a distance to where Ray and the Queen are now.

Releasing a blood laser or brace won't get the offense that easy, from where the queen is to where Ray is.

That's probably why it was the dragonias of transparent scales, capable of traveling long distances at a time for a leap that attacked me.

"So, what do you do?

"What do we do? What is it?

That's what Vihella asks Ray, who was thinking as he looked at the body of a clear scaly dragonias whose upper body was crushed.

To be honest, Ray really didn't know what he thought and what Vihella had been asking.

"Whatever it is, even if we keep going where the queen is, how are we going to deal with it?... Well, if Dragonias is the only one you can defeat lightly, like right now, you might not have to worry about that area."

"Even if they say so. So far, I'm not going to stop walking. Whatever they're thinking, eventually they need to move to the Queen's side... and eventually they need to take it down."

Ray also understands that the Queen craves the eggs of the Spirit.

But Ray also knew he couldn't give it to the Queen.

That is why there is no option to stay away from the Queen in the present situation… and not to defeat him.

"Yeah, well, fine."

I'm guessing that's why Vihera showed satisfaction with Ray's words because she thought she would refrain from attacking the Queen in the current attack and see how it went.

But Ray didn't look like that at all, and he made it clear that he was going to attack the queen like this.

That's what made Vihera happy.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Ray's words were delightful, as was Seto, not just Vihera.

If things like seeing how things were going for a while in this situation, it would have been a boring time for Seto.

... No, in Seto's case, if Ray would stay with us and play, maybe he didn't have any problems at all.

"I don't know how long it will take for the Queen to have a new dragonias. Beyond that, now you should go somewhere with the queen a little faster and deal with it."

"Right.... but the newborn dragonias didn't seem that strong."

While Vihera nodded at Ray's words, what they contained was an unfortunate color.

In the current situation, if I fought Dragonias, that's why I understood that I could smash his body lightly without having to use an immersive palm.

If, like the Softshell Club, the shell is still soft now Dragonias, that would be the easiest way to defeat it, even if it were Centaur.

Originally Centaur needed a large number against Dragonius because he couldn't pierce the scale of Dragonius.

That is why we need to attack places that are not covered in scales, such as joints and eyeballs, mouths, ears….

You can't pinpoint such a place on your own, so make an attack with a large number... bad way of saying it, but if you can do damage to Dragonias because it's anyone's offense, that's fine.

By repeating such attacks several times, Dragonias dies as a result.

But... naturally, Dragonius, who is attacked like that, is not silent either.

On the contrary, if there is any gap at all, do something flat like eat the other person's meat and chop a thousand pieces, even though you are attacked.

The presence of Dragonias for Centaur is extremely troublesome.

But...... just born and the scales are soft, and that's if Centaur can easily pierce, cut and destroy the scales with the weapons he has.

Then, naturally, the presence of Dragonias becomes an opponent that can easily be defeated even by Centaur.

(In that sense, I guess the more time passes, the more troublesome Dragonias will be.... no, that's not just Dragonias. Is any creature like that)

Any creature...... monsters or animals will definitely gain that much experience and be smart if they live long.

"So, for now, we just have to move on, right? Let's go.... If you keep taking the time, there's a good chance that the Queen will do another odd imitation. And it could give birth to a new dragonias."

"Right. Then shall we head to the Queen early?... In the end, we have not yet been attacked by the Queen in the present circumstances. When this happened, it hurt to dodge a spear of dirt earlier."

Half-reflective, but still spared that action as Ray, it seemed so.

Nevertheless, there was nothing more I could do than do it, so now I needed to narrow my distance from the Queen first.
