At night, naturally, Ray and Zakat never arrived in the Devil's Forest and were camping.

Originally, this camp isn't on schedule any more than I thought I'd arrive in the Devil's Forest in one day...

(After all, shouldn't we have flown in and out of the sky on Ceto? That would have arrived in the Devil's Forest by the end of the day)

While eating, Ray thinks that way.

"I envy you being able to eat like this in the camp."

The dinner menu consists of freshly baked bread in soup with plenty of summer vegetables, served with sour fillings and stir-fried meats and vegetables.

Other skewers are available.

If you see that many of them were taken out of the mysteries in a freshly made state, it would be natural for Zakat to envy them.

Zakat with a simplified version of the item box, but it has no effect like mystering that time doesn't flow any more than it is a simplified version.

Even if I keep the warm dishes in, they will naturally cool off over time.

Then why don't we just put in some delicious food even if it's cold? And Ray didn't think so, and I guess he actually imitates that, but it's still true that cooking is the best thing that ever happened.

"Only the item box. That's what I think you could possibly get if you dive into a dungeon or something?

"A dungeon... you wouldn't be able to get an item box if it wasn't a pretty deep dungeon, not a dungeon around there"

"I won't deny that"

Magic items can be obtained from dungeons, but naturally they are not readily available.

Precious Magic Items, powerful Magic Items, cannot be obtained without a deeper location in the Dungeon.

"But Zakat is a Rank A Adventurer, and the party has the right people, right? Then you can explore the dungeon, too?

"If you ask me if I can do it, I guess I can. But I've only done a few explorations of the dungeon so far. That's just a shallow dungeon, too. If we were to explore the dungeon in earnest, we would need to prepare more closely."

Zakat, who said so, showed in that attitude that he was not going to dive into the dungeon in earnest.

(Diving into a dungeon doesn't mean you can always get magic items, and that's natural)

Even adventurers who specialize in exploring dungeons cannot easily obtain magic items in dungeons.

That's what luck means.

Even if you manage to get a magic item, it's not necessarily the magic item that that magic item wants... in that sense, it's definitely a very tough situation.

There is no denying that the inability to acquire the most targeted items means that you can acquire more magic items than you intended.

Given the situation around it, it meant that we would need something other than strength.

If you try Zakat, I guess you don't really feel comfortable trying a dungeon that equals such a bet.

"If you're an adventurer and an ordinary adventurer in a dungeon, you can have subtly different qualities. In that sense, maybe we shouldn't try the detour."

"It will. It's just, I guess Ray went to Eggzil, right? How was it then? The dungeon over there is pretty tough when it's just a normal dive."

"Well, that was definitely tough. There were quite a few deserts in the hierarchy."

Fortunately, Ray had a dragon robe so he didn't get hit by the desert heat or anything.

But the desert is hard to walk by, naturally, and the sun - which, of course, is not real - is dazzling.

More than that, ordinary adventurers would have difficulty attacking the desert.

I hope that's what you're not used to in the desert.

"Desert... desert. You don't like that a bit. It's cold at night, and it's hot at noon."

"That? You've been to the desert before?

The explanation now would be something that would not come out unless it was someone who knew the desert.

Having so decided, Ray turns his surprise gaze to Zakat.

"Oh. If you're a high-ranking adventurer, you'll have a lot of requests that you can't refuse or more challenging ones."

"I know that."

The meaning of Zakat's words was better understood than Ray has also made various and challenging requests.

I fully understand that the Alliance's rank is based on merit and merit, with the aim of preparing high-ranking adventurers for difficult requests.

Still, it is an unmistakable fact that Ray thinks there are many things about it, given the many requests he has made.

"I understand Zakat's story, but it's also true that a highly challenging request would be a good reward."

I can't deny that.

If it is also a request received by a high-ranking adventurer, the reward will be proportionately high, although naturally speaking.

If a Rank A Adventurer is to be asked to nominate, it is easy to be told that it is not enough, depending on the opponent, but about gold coins.

White gold coins... Some people, when they even needed light gold coins, it wasn't strange for such things to come out.

In that way, Ray went on to talk with Zakat about highranking adventurers… so the night went by.

"Ray, look!

Day two after leaving Gilm.

Ray, who was riding Seto's back and watching what was going on around him, can inadvertently call Zakat.

Not that I just called Ray, but a voice full of strong tension.

Ray, who was hung up like that, turns his gaze in the direction Zakat is pointing from above the horse.

Then in that direction, a monster of cattle bigger than Seto was fighting a monster of tigers.

Cows and tigers.

Normally, the strong one would be a tiger, and that would be the only way a cow would be treated like a tiger bait.

But what was ahead of Ray's gaze was the sight of horns growing from the cow's side head piercing the tiger's face and doing things like completely destroying his skull and brain.

Not very, but not an understandable sight if you normally think about it.

But it is also an unmistakable fact that such a sight is spreading in front of us.

"Is that... a monster you know?

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto also turns his gaze to Zakat like he wants to know.

At least not much, I didn't remember seeing a monster like that when Ray was heading from the Devil's Forest to the Guild.

Only once did Ray and Seto go through this neighborhood.

It would be a mistake to assume that there is no such presence because it could not be seen at that time.

"No, I don't either. I don't even remember seeing it when I went to the Devil's Forest before. But this is the border... it's also near the Devil's Forest. With that in mind, it wouldn't be strange to have a ton of monsters you've never seen"

Zakat's words were well understood by Ray as well.

We approached the Devil's Forest, so it's not strange to have unknown monsters there.

In the first place, this is the border.

It wasn't strange to have a monster I'd never seen before at that point.

"I guess so. So... what do we do? It's an unknown monster, and I'd like to take it down if I could."

A tiger monster was killed by a cow monster, so using that demonic stone does not allow him to master his skills with Warcraft.

But the bull monster who defeated the tiger monster is different.

(Plus, the meat looks delicious because it's a cow)

Oak meat is delicious too, but its flesh is close to pork in Ray's senses.

Most importantly, the pork was so delicious that it was not comparable to the pork I had eaten in Japan.

That beef monster's meat, which would be ranked higher than oak, isn't strange if that's the meat that tastes better than the beef we ate in Japan.

"Right. Should I take him down?... Hey, look at that. More than a monster, I suppose."

What Ray saw following Zakat's gaze, saying so, was a bull monster chewing up the body of a tiger monster.

The sight of a cow, which is supposed to be a herbivorous plant, eating a thousand pieces of meat from the dead body of a tiger monster, is extraordinarily powerful.

"Well, it's a monster"

That's what Ray tells Zakat to agree to.

Ray has also seen several times before that herbivores would otherwise turn into carnivores by monstering them.

More than that, it's not strange to have monsters that exist near the Devil's Forest.

Seto, I'm gonna take you down.

"Gru!"

Seto throats at Ray's words and proceeds toward a cow devouring the body of a tiger monster.

"Ray, what am I supposed to do? Any help?

As he rides his horse, Zakat screams at Ray, who turns away.

"No, ask for perimeter alert! There's also the possibility that a new monster will strike!

To Ray screaming, Zakat waves loudly that he finds out.

In fact, this is near the Devil's Forest.

There are naturally many monsters in such places.

Because seeing this situation now doesn't necessarily mean that other monsters aren't coming.

That's why I needed someone here to alert me to my surroundings.

I guess Zakat also followed Ray's words honestly because he figured it out.

I was just saying that I was going to the Devil's Forest once, and I was familiar enough with how to handle this kind of time.

Ray and Seto leave such a zakat on the spot and close to a cow monster.

(I'd rather act judging the rank to be quite high than being an unknown monster. … then we're out of touch)

On Seto's back, Ray takes Death Size and Dusk Spears out of Mystering.

Naturally, though Ray and Seto are approaching like that, I also notice cow monsters.

"Bumo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!"

A cow monster that emits a squeal that can also be called a roar, leaving his mouth tainted with the blood and guts of a tiger monster.

At that time, sharp fangs appeared firmly to Ray from the open mouth.

That meant it was certain that the cow monster was a carnivore.

Flying slaughter!

The first Ray released was Flying Slash.

It is a very easy skill to use among Death Size Skills, and its power is considerably increased by the fact that the level exceeds five.

However... the blade that flew straight could not cause particularly damaging damage where it hit the cow's skin.

"Are you serious?"

I didn't think I could kill you with this blow, nor did I think you could inflict fatal injuries.

But still, it was an incredible thought for Ray to be completely intact.

Nevertheless, just because the Flying Slash didn't make it through doesn't mean you're giving up defeating your opponent.

If it doesn't have the effect of slashing, you just have to do damage with an attack that's more aggressive than that.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"

When Seto rattles against a monster of cows approaching him, a water polo about a metre in diameter shows up around four.

And the water polo flies straight towards the monster of the cow that's going straight into Seto.

If you hit it, there are four water polo balloons that are powerful enough to destroy it if it's about rock.

Normally, that power would be enough to kill a monster.

But...

"Bumo!"

Although the bull monster that hit the released water polo upset the balance it was running, it was still only able to do some damage to the skin that tore it slightly.

But...... for Ray and Seto, just saying he's out of balance is enough achievement.

"Ahhhhh!

Approaching by Seto's speed, Ray moves the Death Size on his right hand and the Dusk Spear on his left hand simultaneously.

The magically death-sized blade slashes and rips its torso, which is more gigantic than Ceto's, as it passes beside a bull monster, and the spear of dusk pierces its neck.

"Bumo..."

Originally, cow monsters would have had the means of attack such as piercing them with their horns, eating them with a thousand sharp fangs, or crushing them with giants bigger than Seto...

But where Seto's water polo upset him, he was attacked before he made the attack.

As a result, this appeared to be the case, and the cow monster died without being able to show any strength at all.
