Legend

Seeing the large number of bodies that were rolling on the ground, Ray quickly tries to use the magic of flames... and wonders if there are any different ways.

It's also true that it's the quickest way to burn a corpse, but by defeating the queen... I was wondering if we could do something more quickly using terrain manipulations leveled by cutting off the queen's remaining nucleus or something, to be precise.

Dragonias' corpse was also naturally thought to be better nourished by the breakdown of microbes on the ground than by charcoal.

Of course, if you're going to bury the body, you need to be careful.

For example, if a body is buried in a shallow place, wildlife and birds may dig it back.

Fortunately, however, that was no problem than the current topographical manipulation could create a five-m hole.... In the first place, I don't have to worry about that because almost all the animals that feed on this place, which was the home of Dragonias, have been eaten and killed.

But beyond the defeat of the Queen of Dragonias, who ruled the land, it can be said that this neighborhood is now a blank zone with no one to rule.

Beyond that, the monsters and animals that survived without being eaten and killed by Dragonias cannot be denied the possibility of coming to this place for their own territory.

(It's just that I killed the queen, but there's still a good chance there's a surviving Dragonias stronghold or something. That kind of thing should end up becoming less natural over time than without a queen.... I don't know how long Dragonias has, either)

Thinking about that with Death Size in your hand, Vihella asks, who has come so close.

"Hey, Ray. Are you sure you're all right? There's quite a lot of dead bodies scattered around here."

The wording accurately represents the current situation.

It was only natural that the bodies would not be gathered in one place more than they were fighting in various places with Dragonias coming from different places.

Beyond that, if Ray's topographical manipulation could do something about it all... it would have been difficult if it had been before the level of topographical manipulation had increased.

Especially large, because level four terrain operations still couldn't dig that deep.

It is only natural that there is so much difference between one hundred and fifty centimeters and five meters.

"Oh, no problem.... thanks to the Queen. Let's go."

Tell Vihera that, and the Centaurs around her will turn their gaze towards Ray.

We all know what Ray is going to do.

Also, the Centaurs know more about the topographical manipulation Ray uses than they have used many times before.

More than that, it would be natural for things like half-heartedness to look like what Ray is going to do.

"Terrain manipulation"

Ray activates his skills while poking a death-size stone poke to the ground.

And at the next moment, the place where Dragonias' body is located sinks about five meters.

The Centaurs raise their surprise at the sudden disappearance of Dragonias' body.

Nevertheless, even if only one hundred and fifty cm sunk, the body of Dragonias will no longer be visible from where the Rays are today.

"Hey, Ray. Can I see where the body was for a second?

Asdena asks Ray yes.

This is how Dragonias' body disappeared in front of him, but you still want to make sure that the ground is as deep down as Ray says it is.

"Oh, it doesn't matter. Just don't fall into the hole too close."

When he hears such a ray of words, Asdena immediately heads to the place where Dragonias' body was.

Asdena wasn't the only one who went that way.

Many others, followed.

And... when you arrive at the place where the body was, where the ground sank, you peek into the hole in such a way as to be afraid.

Then, the hole is obviously deeper than the moat Ray had ever made around the camp with terrain manipulation.

That, too, is incomparable, that depth.

"This is..."

I heard the story, but still astonished by the depth of the hole, Asdena.

But Ray speaks to Asdena's back like that.

"Hey, Asdena. It's time to come back. We're gonna fill that hole!

"Ah, oh. Ok.... I'll be right back"

If you were to dig the hole in front of you, how much effort would it take?

Centaur is quite confident in his physical abilities, but still not instantly, like Ray.

I'm amazed at Ray for being able to do all this instantly, and head to where Ray is while even having a mild fear.

Ray, who also doesn't seem to notice such Asdena's thoughts, looks around and confirms that all Dragonias' bodies have sunk to the bottom of the ground before activating his skills again.

"Terrain manipulation"

Earlier, I simply lowered the ground, but this time Ray did it by raising the ground in places where it wasn't sinking and filling holes... and so on.

As a result, the hole Ray made can also disappear instantly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

Out of the mouth of the surrounding Centaurs, an exclamation.

Listening to it, Ray turns his gaze toward the hill that leads to the underground space.

"It's nice of you to impress me, but now we're going underground anyway.... Fortunately, there was no dragonias left here, but I can't deny the possibility that maybe I'll come back"

To Ray's words, the look on the faces of the Centaurs becomes serious.

Yesterday, I think you remembered the dragonias that suddenly appeared in large quantities... specifically, the bodies that Ray currently buried deep underground... no, buried.

It was also a pure question for Ray as to why there was no Dragonias here yesterday today... but I'll keep that area through for now that it wouldn't make sense to worry like that in the present situation.

(No, or... maybe, really, maybe, but Dragonias is gathered in underground space, or something like that, right?

The underground space was more than the home of Dragonias, and it's no surprise that the Dragonias who were gathered here did things like use their home base as a temporary base.

A normal dragonias dominated by hunger would not be able to imitate such a head.

But if not... If there is a dragonias in the dragonias that can command intelligent, it's no surprise that you do something like temporarily enter the underground space.

"Seto, do you have any idea if Dragonias is underground?

"Gru......"

To Ray's words, Seto sounds sorry for his throat.

Seto has five senses better than Ray and, naturally, an extraordinary sense of smell.

On top of that, Seto also has the skill of increasing sense of smell, so it should have been possible to understand the presence or absence of Dragonias.

However... there was a body of Dragonias here until just now, and many dragonias have gathered since I left here with Ray, who passed out yesterday.

Since some individuals would naturally have entered the underground space, it is not possible to determine whether there is dragonias in the underground space even in Seto's sense of smell.

That's why Seto showed that he couldn't be honest with Ray.

... It's not strange to say that if this is a glorious person, he can do it even if he can't, but Seto had nothing to do with such things as glory.

"In that case, we'll have to go directly.... Well, there you are, and you just have to knock it down."

Ray's tone doesn't have that strong color of tension.

He defeated the Queen and defeated the intelligent Dragonia, starting with the dragonias of the seven colored scales.

Naturally, it's not a difficult story to deal with, even if other dragonias strike, with Ray, Seto and Vihera all in place.

Also, this time I can expect Anastasia as a force of war because I'm not using the power of the Spirit's eggs.

"Well, shall we go"

Following the words of Vihera, the reconnaissance team led by Zai heads into underground space.

"Whoa, I was listening to you... how far does this slope go?

One of the Centaurs squeals with surprise as he descends the ramp.

That's the long slope that I think leads to the bottom of the ground.

For the Centaurs living in the meadows, many would say it's the first time they've taken such a long ramp.

Not to mention that this ramp is a ramp leading underground, even more so.

"Hey, Ray.... I think it's going to be okay for once... but there's no problem with this going on like this, is there?

"Oh, there's nothing wrong with that at all. When we walked through here yesterday, it was a lot of dragonias in the underground space."

That massive amount of dragonias was actually just enough dragonias to be called massive, even after Ray used his magic to burn and kill most of them.

Despite the magic that Ray unleashed with considerable magic, there was so much dragonias left, so how many dragonias were originally in this underground space... I'm pretty sure it's troublesome for Ray to think about that as well.

Nevertheless, the majority of the dragonias that survived were red scaled dragonias that could withstand Ray's magic as well.

"Ah, the ramp is over!

"Pay attention! There's a chance there's a Dragonias!

Ray screams sharply at Centaur's joyful voice, which he has heard for a long time.

That's because there's nothing like being too vigilant than not knowing what's going on around you.

Or... really or really, but there's no chance that another monster is lurking in underground space, not Dragonias.

It is very unlikely that it is more so than it was yesterday today.

And...

"It's all right! No dragonias, no other enemies!

I'm just a little relieved by that voice I hear.

Nevertheless, the underground space is vast.

From a short walk in, it's impossible to see all of the underground space.

I can't say enough that it's really safe in the present situation than it is... but still, I guess it was lucky for the Centaurs that there was no threat where I could see it for now.

"Wow, wow... how big is it... how far is it going?

Ray's ears heard one of the Centaurs whining as he saw the vast underground space that seemed to be spreading everywhere.

Neither did the other Centaurs appear to speak to their voices, but it was the atmosphere that made Ray understand that many people thought the same.

In the sense of a vast place, the meadows where the Centaurs live would be exactly that.

That's more than an underground space in the end, even if it looks vast. It's overwhelmingly narrow compared to meadows.

But...... I guess this place was enough to surprise the Centaurs in that it's still underground.

Especially since the Centaurs here were just doing things like digging out spiritual eggs, many of us experience and understand for ourselves how heavy a labor it is.

So if we were to create this much space in the basement, how much longer would it take?

I guess it's natural to think that way.

... In fact, as far as Ray knows, we expect that this underground space was not dug by the Dragonias themselves, but created by the Queen using the Spirit magic of the earth.

(Oh, with that being said... really now, the Queen was smaller before she went into this underground space, wasn't she?

The ramp was pretty wide, but still, given the size of the queen Ray knocked down yesterday, it's not very big, but it can't come in.

If so, the Queen enters this underground space when she is smaller...... and when she grows inside this underground space, you can assume so.

Now that we have defeated the Queen, it was really more of a story.

"Ray, where was the queen?

To Zai's question, Ray points to the back among the underground spaces.

"You're over there. It's just that even where the queen was, there's nothing left. I totally burned him to death. Still going? Honestly, I think it's just a waste of time."

"It's..."

In Zai, it can also be seen from Ray that there is a fierce grid.

But... Still, as the one leading the scout team, he decided he had to confirm with his own eyes that the queen was dead. He asked Ray to guide him to where the queen was.
