Legend

2,400 words.

The battle between the Rays and the Queen had already exceeded three hours.

If it were normal, it wouldn't be strange to have physical strength in battle and mental failure, thereby making a fatal mistake.

Even in such circumstances, the Rays continued to fight with the Queen in such a prolonged battle without making a fatal mistake.

Of course, this is not that there are no seeds or tricks...

Ray's body was used to the fullest by Zeppyre's technology, and Seto was created by Ray's immense magic.

Vihera, too, may have originally been human, but by now she has absorbed an extremely powerful monster called Ambris, becoming more than human.

Those two and one made it possible for the Rays to keep fighting for three hours.

Most importantly, it is not uncommon for actual wars to continue fighting for more than half a day for three hours.

... It's not like that fight because in war, once the troops are exhausted, they do things like turn back and give them a break.

But this battle is real, and the Rays are fighting the Queen all the time.

That's the battle in such extreme conditions, where it's not strange to take a fatal toll if you make a few mistakes.

Even in such a situation, this is how we can continue the fight...... again, I guess because that's the Rays.

"Still, I don't think you're gonna die! How much is left of the playback capability!?

As I scream, I throw again the spear of dusk that I have already thrown dozens or hundreds of times...... no.

That spear, thrown by the physical ability enhanced by the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor, made a giant hole in the Queen's body, as he has done many times before.

But… Normally, holes that should be called fatal injuries also block the Queen's ability to regenerate immediately.

"Ah."

Such words leak out of Ray's mouth that he saw only one flaming snake there for a moment before the hole blocked as he put the spear of dusk back on hand.

If you lay it on, even nearly three hours after the battle began, there was still a magical but reliable one you used that numerous flaming snakes were eating and burning the Queen's body.

(Nevertheless, more than magically created, the flaming snake should disappear if it also reaches its limits. If I could, I'd just like to defeat the queen before then... I don't know. The ability to regenerate is still not diminishing. Speaking of good ingredients, have you stopped using most of the braces?)

That would be a testament to the fact that it is wearing off by continuing to attack the Queen.

That's what he thinks, Ray puts his dusk spear back on hand and sets his aim again.

But at that moment... the Queen's movements stopped unexpectedly.

"... what?

To the sudden action of the queen, Ray stops the move he was about to throw the spear of dusk again.

Ray wasn't the only one who suddenly stopped the attack.

Vihera and Seto were also questioning how the queen suddenly stopped moving, interrupting the attack.

"Vihera, Seto, come back here for once"

Yes, Ray told me because he was suddenly anxious about the Queen's behavior.

Anxiety is also different when the braces used by the white scaled dragonias are shot simultaneously from the body.

I sensed danger then. Ray was putting up a magic shield so I could deal with the braces.

But that's just a coincidence.

Multiple Born Holes in the Queen's Body... A blow emanating from her mouth just to release the braces has instinctively fired a timed blow toward Ray in order to gain some power.

The only thing that dealt with Brace's intensive attack was the Magic Shield, which prevents any attack if only once.

It was only at the right time that he regarded that focused attack as a blow and succeeded in preventing it.

Again, I don't know if I can do anything with that kind of luck. I don't know, but as for Ray, I needed to be ready to deal with whatever was going on here.

"Magic Shield!

Replace the dusk spear you had in your right hand and the death size you had in your left hand and activate your skills.

And a shield of light that reveals itself.

Only once, but with this shield of absolute invincibility, any attack can be prevented unless it is attacked more than once.

"What do you think?

Ray, who moved the shield of light before himself, asks Vihera, who is on his side.

The vihela has been in motion all three hours, some tired or lightly disturbed in her breathing as she continued to attack the queen.... Conversely, it only drains to the point of disturbing breathing after three hours of full force movement.

Such Vihera thinks a little about Ray's words... eventually opening her mouth to half the joke.

"Personally, I'm already dead...... and I just want to think so"

"Right. If that's the case, it'll be easier this way."

The effects of the previous attacks were exerted and the queen died when her regenerative abilities reached their limit.

If that happens, it would be very helpful as Ray.

But the queen whose motion stops at the end of her gaze doesn't seem to be dead from what Ray has seen.

On the contrary, it even seemed like he was saving power to make some kind of attack.

"Whatever they're doing over there, we're gonna have to deal with that as far as we're concerned.... Vihera, Seto, are you ready for that?

"Leave it to me."

"Gru!"

Vihera and Seto respond to Ray's words, respectively.

(Still, what kind of attack are you going to make? Why don't we just make an attack at this point and make sure the Queen doesn't attack in full swing?

I think so, and I think about what kind of attack to make.

First of all, it's definitely a rejection, more than it feels dangerous to get close to close range.

Because it's still the most effective...

"This, or"

I gaze at the dusk spear on my left hand and squeal like that after a little thought.

"Do you do it?

Vihera looked at Ray like that, what's wrong? Instead of asking, do it? Ask.

It's Vihera, so I guess I just saw how Ray was doing and understood what he was going to do.

"Oh. I don't know what the Queen is trying to do, but whatever she does, it's better than letting her do it in perfect condition. You don't have to worry about defense in case they attack you, because with a magic shield you can handle it."

Even the cartoons, comics, games, and novels I saw when I was in Japan, I wondered if Ray wouldn't attack me when I was doing things such as merging, deforming, or transforming, with enemies on my side.

Of course, it's some kind of promise, which is different from reality.

Still... this place where Ray is now is real.

More than that, Ray can't imitate watching his enemies purposefully try to muster their strength to make some kind of attack in silence.

"Yes. Then give me a single spear, too? You still have it, don't you? And Seto also has the ability to do Ranged Attacks, so everyone should be able to do a lot of damage to the enemy at the same time."

"... I get it."

Nodding, Ray stabs the tip of the spear of dusk on the ground once and takes a single spear out of the mistering.

But the spear was a blurry, nearly broken spear, to such an extent that it could not be compared to the spear of dusk.

This is a spear Ray has been collecting for a long time to dispose of when throwing.

A broken and useless spear, present in weapons stores and blacksmiths.

If you throw with the force of Ray, the spear will be destroyed in a single throw, unless it is so much spear.

Ray knew that too, so he was collecting many spears that could be disposed of.

I've never even heard of Vihera throwing spears.

But when it comes to fighting talent, Vihera is top notch... no, she has enough to call it super top notch.

That's why throwing spears would not be as powerful as Ray's...... but it was still likely that he could show the strength he deserved.

"Thanks."

Sometimes Vihela also has little experience throwing spears, or even a missing spear with a tip given to her by Ray doesn't seem to complain in particular.

Since the tip is missing, it was also possible that it would not hit where it was aimed due to the relationship of air resistance, but given the Queen's giant, the area is perfectly fine.

"Seto said it was a long distance... windowarrows and ice arrows were level four. Oh, but is the water polo level five?... Seto will decide which skills to use. Oh, but you attack a queen who uses dirt spirits magic, so you might want to stop Ground Arrow."

"Gru!"

To Ray's word, leave it to me! and a throat-beating ceto.

That's how when everyone's ready, Ray is ready to twist his body and throw a spear of dusk... so that he can match Ray like that, Vihera and Seto will each be ready to attack.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

With the sound of Seto, twenty arrows of ice are produced around them.

What Seto chose for this occasion was an ice arrow over a water polo that reached a level of five and gained more power.

An arrow made of ice points its cuttoe at the queen's body.

"Let's go!

With that word, Ray twists his body and throws a spear of dusk at the queen.

Vihera also throws the missing spear of the tip, and Seto ejects twenty ice arrows at the queen.

Each attack goes straight to the queen...... At the next moment, the spear of dusk puts a giant hole in the queen's body, and both the spear thrown by Vihella and halfway through the pattern pierce the queen's body, as do the twenty ice arrows unleashed by Seto, each piercing the queen's body.

But... even with those attacks, the Queen remains silent.

If ever, even though that was the kind of screaming that resonated around me.

"... what's going on, this?

I wonder what's going on.

To Ray's words, Vihera also whines with a strange look.

"In the meantime, it's obvious the queen isn't dead."

Ray shrugged as he put the spear of dusk back on hand because the open hole of the spear of dusk that came back to him blocked him while he saw it.

If the Queen is dead... or if she has reached the limit of her ability to regenerate, she will not be able to regenerate if she is attacked now.

But the Queen normally healed the damage the Rays sustained as a result of the attack.

That means that the Queen is still alive... putting her strength into something.

(What do we do? I thought you had some kind of reaction, but I didn't think you'd have any response so far. In this case, what's the right thing to do?

Ray doesn't know what to do about that, which is clearly different from the enemies he's been fighting... so in the seconds Ray is lost, things change suddenly.

The giant chunks of meat that made up the queen began to sway unexpectedly.

As not long ago, the tip of the tentacle growing from that meat mass is not vibrating, but the meat mass itself begins to vibrate.

What the hell happened to Ray watching that sight... and to Vihera and Seto, I don't know.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no doubt that the Queen went into some action.

The problem would be that you don't know what that action means.

"In the meantime, if the Queen is trying to do something, it's not until we let her handle it!

That's how he screams, and Ray throws the spear of dusk again.

The dusk spear that flew straight puts a big hole in the queen's body just like before... should have.

But the moment the spear of dusk hits the queen's body, a tall metal noise called Galilee Lillin is made and played.

Yes, a dusk spear throw… and a blow was struck with increased physical abilities using the Red Armor of the Flaming Emperor.

The sight was clearly an astonishing one even when Ray saw it, and even the word 'seriously' leaked out of its mouth by accident.

It was such a sight, but it still seemed Ray was able to return it to me immediately and put it back on hand before the spear of dusk fell to the ground.

"This again... you've done a nasty imitation"

The effect of the entire giant vibrating is gaining just enough defense to play even a dusk spear blow.

To what such a queen looks like, Ray turns his gaze to the death size, not the spear of dusk.

I can't do it with a spear of dusk. But if it's a death size through magic, wouldn't it slash and tear the Queen's body?

I thought so, but at the same time, given the presence of flaming snakes that should still be rampant in the queen's body, can the queen defeat just waiting like this?

Yes, I got lost.
