Legend

Ray and Seto move on through the Devil's Forest.

Nevertheless, a few minutes after I still went into the woods.

Turn around and you can see right out of the Devil's Forest there.

"Still, though, it's not like the Trent Forest.... I didn't know when I got out of the Devil's Forest before."

Ray had just come to Elgin when he tried to get out of the Devil's Forest.

Sometimes it hasn't been that long since consciousness resided in the present body from the body that lived in Japan. As an adventurer, I wasn't used to fighting in action yet.

Speaking of which, something like, although highly trained, I never experienced the actual battle itself?

So there was nothing like feeling something that far into the place itself called the Demon Forest.

If you try Ray, you only knew a place called this Demon Forest, so it would be natural.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto also rattles his throat to agree.

Seto also didn't understand what it meant about this demon forest at first, just like Ray did.

Unlike Ray, who often went into the mountains in Japan, Seto was born in a building at the gates of Zeppael by authentic warcraft.

Far less than Ray in the sense of experience since birth.

Still, Seto has a lot more understanding of Ray's life than he is created by Ray's magic, and most importantly, more instinctive than he was raw in the world as a species called Griffon.

For that reason, it was Ray and Seto who made it through the Devil's Forest safely last time... but as for myself, who had various experiences since leaving the Devil's Forest, it was the realization that the Devil's Forest was still only sometimes called the Devil's Forest.

The Devil's Forest even feels that the air itself is different from the outside world.

"Stop! Seto!

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

From the top of a tree branch growing a little further away, Ray waves his death size half-reflexively when he sees something accidentally fly in.

More than going into the Devil's Forest. Naturally, Death Size and Dusk Spears have been out of Mystering since the beginning.

Quickly wielded death size makes a tall metal sound around.

And while Ray is preventing the attack, Seto runs into the tree he's been attacking.

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

Seto hits a tree using a power attack he just learned earlier.

But the tree is even thicker than the tree that was snapped when Seto first tried the power attack.

The blow of the power attack never broke, even if it wobbled heavily.

But if you tried to be the one who attacked Ray, you wouldn't have thought that someone would hit the tree you're scaffolding.

The attack unleashed against Ray stopped for a moment...

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

That's how the attack stops. Aiming for a moment's gap, Seto climbs the tree with a few steps of help.

Griffon has the upper body of an eagle and the lower body of a lion.

Only half of them are lions... more than cat animals, naturally, but Seto was never a bad climber either.

Whereas the monster who was on the branches of the tree also felt a sense of crisis against Seto, who climbs the tree very smoothly, when he positions himself on the shaky branches, he attacks Seto, who came towards him.

Something to be unleashed, just like when you attacked Ray.

But Seto was reading such an opponent's attack, or the moment the attack was made, he kicks the trunk of the tree he was climbing and packs it in between with the branches at once, releasing a blow to his forefoot.

"Gru!"

"Kicky!...... giggy!

You thought you'd get a blow from Seto as it is, that monster kicks a branch of a tree and tries to avoid Seto's attack.

But... that gap was the moment Ray was after.

It was a leaf that was bush in a tree branch, and I didn't know the exact position of the monster, so I didn't attack it, but if the other side jumped off a tree branch to escape Seto's attack, I can confirm its appearance.

Of course, it would be a moment to show yourself when you have a high degree of agility only for monsters in the Devil's Forest and jump to another branch of the tree to escape.

But if I tried it on Ray, if I had that moment, it would have been possible to target enough enemies.

The spear of dusk, thus thrown, pierces the torso of the monster, who appeared only for a moment, and drops it to the ground.

The monster, who was rampaging on the ground in pain and shock, looked like a monkey.

However, it is about half a metre tall and would not be so different from Ray in terms of size.

On the contrary, the monkey's body has quite a few muscles, definitely above Ray's in terms of weight.

Ningro, don't you deserve to call me gorilla or orautan rather than monkey?

With that in mind, Ray puts back on hand the spear of dusk that was stabbing him in the torso of the monkey.

Despite being pierced near the center of the abdomen, monkey monsters were still alive.

Of course, even though he's alive, he's pierced by a spear of dusk, so you can say he's dying badly.

If we keep watching how things go, sooner or later Ray will die without having to do anything.

I knew that, but still, Ray decided to keep a good kill here.

This is the Forest of Demons, a place where many monsters live… it is also home to a large number of high-ranking monsters.

Only such a place could have deprived other monsters of monkey monsters if they had waited here for them to die.

If so, you should at least kill the monster here and take the demon stone anyway for use on the spot.

(Meat... meat? What about monkey meat? I've seen you eat monkey brains in movies, though. Well, it's the meat of a monster in the Devil's Forest, and it's not supposed to taste bad)

Though I think so, it never looked like a high-ranking monster in the way Ray fought.

"You don't have a Rank B. When that happens, is it about rank C?

Not as weak as Rank D, but not as strong as Rank B.

Possible possibilities would still be something like Rank C.

Even less, it was clearly understated compared to the bull monster Ray fought yesterday.

(Because you're a monster in the Devil's Forest, you're not necessarily stronger than the monster outside. I knew that, but looking at it this way, I knew there were a lot of things to think about)

If I tried Ray, I would have wanted that cow monster to come out again if I could.

Nevertheless, you won't be able to imitate it so easily in the Devil's Forest than you are a monster bigger than Seto.

The Devil's Forest has quite an empty gap between trees, so Seto can walk quite easily.

With that in mind, Ray kills his opponent and then takes the demon stone out of the ape's heart with a knife.

"Well, I used the bull monster demon stone for Ceto, so I'd like to use this monkey monster for Death Size. Do you mind?

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto rattles his throat that's all right.

After saying thank you to Seto like that, Ray quickly amputates the monkey's demon stone in Death Size.

[Death size is "Flying Needle Lv. I 'mastered the skills]

Announcement message that resonates in the back of the brain.

"Flying needle? No, well, the attack just now was certainly metal... no, I see, you made your body hair hard like metal and fired at your opponent. Then…"

Ray takes the Death Size and activates his skills towards the trunk of a tree a little further away.

Flying needle.

When I wave Death Size with that word, five long needles that emerged from nowhere fly toward the trunk of the tree and pierce it.

"This is a pretty easy skill to use."

The power can't be imitated like breaking a tree like Seto's power attack to the point of piercing a tree trunk.

But being able to throw a long needle of power there at a distance was definitely user-friendly.

"I'm slightly dissatisfied with the power, but if the level crosses five, the area will probably be resolved. Or cases like the growing number of long needles? I don't mind if I do."

If you try to lay it on, there's no doubt that the skill of flying needles was the skill of being satisfied there.

Satisfied with that, he decides to hurry ahead by storing monkey monsters in mysteries as he strokes Seto's head rubbing his head happily against Ray.

"This monkey monster is probably about rank C, so is the rank A monster still there? Rank S Monster, where the hell are you?"

In order for Ray to pass the promotion exam, he needs to defeat at at least two Rank A Monsters in the Demon Forest.

That's two nights and three days from today.

Given the current situation, I don't think it's that easy to find such a monster.

... Though, normally, rank a monster is not that common.

Because even if you're an adventurer, it's like seeing you once in your life.

"Well, this is still outside in the Devil's Forest. If we don't head to the center or deep, I can understand that there are no such high-ranking monsters."

Whimpering, Ray heads with Seto to the back of the Devil's Forest.

Sometimes I want to look for high rank monsters, but I still wanted to make sure I had a place to be based more than that.

(Fortunately, you don't know exactly where I am, even though you know I'm in the Devil's Forest, the magic item the worker made me hold.)

If we can figure out the exact location of Ray in the Devil's Forest, where Ray is currently headed...... it was possible to make him a safe house for Zeppyre Gate and also know where Ray and Seto were born.

The fact that you don't have to worry about it is also very helpful to Ray.

Nevertheless, that explanation was only given by the worker, so I can't deny the possibility that maybe... maybe the worker is watching this one through the gem.

But the jewels are not on the table, they are in the dragon robe.

If so, even if it can be imitated such as looking through a gem, it will only be in a dragon robe that you can see.

Either way, it's not a bad story for Ray not to have to worry about the building.

Given the current situation, what about the best results rather than the bad stories?

"Gru!"

Walking in the Devil's Forest, Seto accidentally rattles his throat as he alerts.

Ray is alert to such Ceto's condition and checks his surroundings.

The Devil's Forest is quite a distance between trees and trees, even compared to the Trent Forest.

Unlike the Trento forests, however, which grew half regular, some trees and trees were quite far apart, while others grew in adjacent conditions.

So it is true that it is harder to find the appearance of the enemy than it is in the Trento Forest, and so as Ray, he looks around quickly so that whatever happens.

(I haven't had that much time since I went into the Devil's Forest... that's a lot more aggressive. When I used to get out of the Devil's Forest, that's it...... no, it's true that it was quite difficult considering there was a waterbear)

Even in the Guild, the water bears were bought at a reasonable price.

I mean, that's so rare... and being in the Devil's Forest was definitely a vicious monster.

If so, the enemies Seto is alert to are also likely to be vicious opponents.

With that in mind, Ray waits for his opponent to move out...

"Slow down!"

Something invisible approached me.

In the moment of such perception, the body moves reflexively.

Then something invisible passes through where Ray was, engraving cuts into the trunk of the tree that was behind Ray.

"Seto, watch out!

"Gru!"

Seto also reacts instantly to Ray's words, but even if he had a sharp sense of five, six, or even sense of perception like Seto, he didn't realize his opponent existed until he was actually attacked.

With that in mind, there is no doubt that the opponent is the one who deserves to be called a mighty enemy... in that sense, while still understanding that this demonic forest is not a place where you can be alarmed for a moment, Ray looks to where he thinks he has unleashed an invisible attack...

Flying slaughter!

In the meantime, he decided that if he could upset his opponent at all, he would release a flying slash, and then throw a spear of dusk with about luck if he could go on and put a stop to it.
