Legend

"Huh, that took a while."

With that grumbling, Ray waves one hand to extinguish the magic shield.

In the end, Ray never ate an enemy attack in this battle.

The most dangerous would have been when the water arrows were released because you could hit your buddies the first time.

Ray also moved reflexively at that time, so he avoided the magic as well.

If you tried Oaknaga, that attack would have been the only opportunity to hit Ray.

... Even though, if Ray could have hit the arrow of water, it would have only been able to derive results such as extinguishing the shield of light.

Also, it wouldn't have made sense given Ray's wearing Dragon Robe defense, even if he was able to accidentally hit Ray in subsequent fights.

Either way, the fight is over.

There are currently numerous Oaknaga bodies in front of Ray and Seto.

"This is also a species that wasn't written in the Monster Dictionary. No, well, I don't think all the monsters I've encountered since I went into the Devil's Forest were written. When it does, it's like this unique species of demon forest."

I think so, Ray, but the question remains nonetheless.

Currently this demon forest is also forbidden to approach by order from Dusker.

Still, with permission, like Ray, we could have entered the Devil's Forest, and before Dusker gave his orders, we could normally have entered the Devil's Forest.

A monster living in the Devil's Forest... especially considering the presence of a black snake who carried Ray to his lair, there is no doubt that many who entered the Devil's Forest could not go outside and died.

Still, it won't be the first time that they're wiped out, and it's no surprise that they can take home the bodies of the monsters that they defeated, or pass on information even if that's not possible.

If so, it would not have been strange if that information had been passed on to the Alliance and from there on in the Monster Dictionary.

Of course, it was possible that Ray's monster drawings were not the latest edition, but still the question remains given that there has been a demonic forest for quite some time.

(Was intentionally trying not to divulge information about monsters in the Devil's Forest? Well, if you say so, there's something I can convince you of)

Rare monster materials are naturally expensive to sell.

Selling to the guild can sell for a high price, and there are handouts to opponents such as merchants and nobles, and if you are good at negotiating, you will be able to sell to the guild for a higher price than selling to the guild.

Knowing that, it is not strange that those who want money… or want to let them know their strength, or many who have craved honor, go to the Devil's Forest.

And naturally, most of them will not be able to return from the Devil's Forest.

Gilm is the only city in the kingdom of Mireana on the border, and adventurers are important.

Beyond that, it wasn't surprising that we couldn't imitate the monster information in the Devil's Forest poorly.

(Still, it's strange that the Alliance has information about monsters in the Devil's Forest... could you have told me about the area if I asked in the Alliance?

Normally, you can't, but in Ray's case, try the Demon Forest on the Alliance's promotion exam.

Beyond that, if you asked the Alliance for information on the Devil's Forest, how much could you have told me?

Yeah, Ray took it for granted... but if it did, and I thought maybe I was going to add extra work for the guild employees who would just have been busy, wouldn't this have been nice in a way? I didn't think so.

"Anyway, you should clean up the body first. Seto, check the perimeter."

"Gru!"

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

Ray can safely store the body if Seto keeps his perimeter alert.

(Even so, my upper body must be oak and delicious, but I wonder about the snake part of my lower body. I think it tastes better than a regular snake because it's a monster, but more than the upper body is oaky, the lower body snake is better than rank or something? Well, I don't know exactly how ranked this Oaknaga is)

When it felt like Ray tried to fight, it felt like the top of D... or if it barely got to C.

However, that's only an individual story, using magic while acting in groups and collaborating like this one... it also does damage to your people. But if you're trying to tailor your enemies, you'll have about rank B.

(As an individual, I'm weak, and I can't live in the Devil's Forest, so it might feel like I'm acting as a group.)

I will store the bodies as I think about it that way, and it will be the last two.

And if it was the last two, Ray had something to do.

Remove the knife for demolition, slash and tear around the chest, and remove the demon stone from the heart.

"Now, what skills can I acquire? … However, given the strength of Oaknaga, it's a delicate place to learn skills"

Experience to date has led me to believe that it is difficult to acquire skills from demonic stones of lower ranked monsters.

Of course, that is not absolute, sometimes you can acquire skills from low rank monster Demon Stones, or even though you are a high rank monster Demon Stone, you cannot acquire skills.

That's just the tendency, not the absolute.

Still a little hard for Ray? It is also true that there are thoughts like that.

Either way, I decide I should give it a try, and I call Seto.

"Seto! Come here for a second!

Seto, who is keeping an eye on his surroundings, comes to Ray's side as relieved, especially since there was nothing like being raided by a monster.

From previous experience, I guess I also understand why Ray called himself.

"Look, it's the demon stone of Oaknaga. I don't know if I can acquire new skills.... Still, given Oaknaga's abilities, even if it's mastered, I can somehow predict what kind of skill it is."

"Gru!"

Seto also rattles to agree with Ray's words about what skills he can anticipate if he can master them from the fight against Oaknaga.

And Ray gives Seto the demon stone...

[Seto says, "Ice Arrow Lv. I have acquired the skills of V ']

Such an announcement message flows in the back of my brain.

"... have you gone that way"

What Ray expected was a water polo or an ice arrow.

Water balloons are due to the attribute of water, and ice arrows are due to the method of attack called arrows.

Of course, arrow-based skills have other skills like wind arrows and ground arrows, but I still chose ice arrows because they still had to do with water and ice.

"Seto, then give it a try"

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto activates an ice arrow.

That number… fifty.

At level one, it was five, and from there it increased by five to one level, and at level four it was twenty.

That's fifty at once as soon as the level reaches five.

Both that and the ice arrows produced seemed to Ray to be sharper and bigger than before, unlike before.

"Seto, take one and shoot me in the trunk of that tree."

"Gru!"

Reply briefly to Ray's words and release a bottle of ice arrow.

The velocity of the released ice arrows itself is faster than before.

However, it does not surprise Ray enough that the number of copies has increased from twenty to fifty at once.

But...... what surprised Ray the next moment was that its ice arrow pierced the trunk of the tree.

Like the blow of Ray's twilight spear, he can't pierce another tree again after piercing the trunk of the tree, and when he pierces the trunk of one tree, his speed is completely lost and he falls to the ground.

"I knew that this would strengthen my skills if I got to level five again, but not just the number I could release at a time, but also the power of every single bottle. You've become a vicious skill at once."

That's Ray's honest feelings.

In fact, the trunk of the tree... it also has the power to pierce the trunk of the tree with the corresponding thickness. Fifty arrows of ice can be released simultaneously.

That skill, modestly speaking, would deserve the expression vicious.

"This has been the main thing for Seto at once.... I can do things like release it like I saw it, but I can't do anything like control one ice arrow at a time with precision? When you release it, it's like you can't get involved anymore."

Ice arrows are arrows... I mean, just an arrow, and the only thing you can't control after letting go was that it was convincing to Ray as well.

"Gru."

To Ray's words, Seto nods unfortunately.

If I tried Ceto, I wanted to be free to control ice arrows, something like that.

However, such an imitation could not actually be made.

Nevertheless, if I try to lay it down, I don't think I have a problem with it, because Ierslow is still a powerful enough skill.

(Besides, it's only now that I can't control it. If the level goes up in the future... and there is no denying the possibility that your skills will be strengthened at once)

As for Ray, the level is five and the skill is enhanced… No, it seems like it will change to one level of skill.

In other words, it could not be denied that in the case where the level has been raised in the future, and in the same way, skills will be strengthened at once.

(Level 5 means maybe level 10 next? I just want you to strengthen it again around level seven if you can.)

Either way, Ray was also convinced that the enhanced Ice Arrow now is a powerful skill.

And more than convinced, it was Death Size's turn next.

"Now, you can somehow expect Ceto's ice arrow to be enhanced with Death Size"

There is only one skill that Death Size possesses when it comes to water and ice.

With that in mind, throw the Demon Stone gently before flashing the Death Size.

[Death size is "Ice and Snow Slash Lv. III 'skills acquired]

I knew it.

That was Ray's sentiment when he heard the announcement message that resonated in his brain.

Among the Death Size skills, the only thing that is water or ice based is ice and snow slaughter.

Or if it was any other means of attack besides water arrows to Oaknaga, it could have mastered or enhanced another skill.

(But in the end, I only used water arrows in the fight. I feel a little too weak for a monster in the Devil's Forest. Or is this how they flock because they can only use water arrows?

With that in mind, Ray activates his skills with Death Size in his hand.

"Ice and Snow Slash"

The activated skill wrapped the Death Size blade around ice.

I guess it's because I got a higher level. The ice covering the blade is sharper and bigger than it was at level two.

"After coming to the Devil's Forest, is that a second level up? Maybe the ice and snow slaughter will reach level five as it is?

Skills become more powerful when they reach level five, but Ray can't imagine how the ice and snow slaughter will become a little more powerful.

Nevertheless, it is now level three.

If two more water or ice related monsters show up, they'll reach level five.

This demon forest usually has a feeling that that's going to happen.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Seto, who watched Ray use the ice and snow slaughter, rings his throat to congratulate him.

If I tried Ceto, I would have been satisfied enough because both myself and Ray had leveled their skills with the demonic stones of Oaknaga.

"Thank God.... Well, for now, I wiped out the Oaknaga, and that's next. I think it's time for a Rank A monster to come out. Of course, I don't want that black snake to come out."

Try Ray, I'm not going to fight that black snake in any way.

Sometimes you're friendly with yourself, because you don't even know if you can win the story in the first place.

Of course, I don't know what a fight is.

But if, nevertheless, the Black Snake is the presence created by someone in the Zeppyre Gate in Warcraft, then that would be a treatment such as Seto's predecessor.

He is an opponent who has dived through numerous battles, unlike Ray and Seto, and naturally has been strengthened by so many demonic stones.

"Whatever, let's just say we're looking for another rank A monster that's different from that black snake"

"Gru!"

To Ray's words, Seto understood! And he was going to honk.
