"Kishaaaaaa!"

Carbuncle strikes at Ray with such a loud voice.

Ray didn't know if it was because he lived in the Devil's Forest, or if a race like Carbuncle had that ability, but Carbuncle moves very quickly.

If you're just saying you make purely quick moves, that's the giant wolf you knocked down earlier and the black snake also had quite a bit of speed.

At simple speeds, Carbuncle would not extend to such opponents.

However, in the case of Carbuncle, it is quite small, unlike giant wolves and black snakes.

That's what makes it hard to hit, unlike a giant wolf, if you try to lay it with two long objects.

... but that's only if Ray is normal.

Naturally, Ray is not very, but he can't be said to be normal.

But Carbuncle doesn't recognize Ray as such a formidable enemy.

I feel threatened by Seto's existence, but still, if I were you... and in this forest of demons, I would have decided that even if I dealt with Seto, I could escape enough.

I guess it was because of that confidence that you imitated like you said you were going to attack Ray.

Or maybe he felt the magic Ray had from reflecting magic, and thought that if Ray was wizard-type, he could win.

"Shit, let me!

Carbuncle moves between the trees to jump and attack Ray.

Make it not as good as a carnivore, Carbuncle also has sharp fangs and nails than being a monster.

Amateur...... No, if you are a low-ranking adventurer, it wouldn't be strange to suffer less scratches from nails and fangs.

But unfortunately, Carbuncle, even sharp nails and fangs are not fatally wounded because of pain.

Naturally, it was impossible to do anything about the dragon robe Ray was wearing in such an attack.

Wave the spear of dusk while dodging an enemy blow.

With a light response, the carbuncle blows up and hits the trunk of the tree, which was in the direction of travel.

The dusk spear response itself was light, but I guess the power of the blow was still strong enough.

The carbuncle, blown away by intense momentum, managed to get up when it fell to the ground, but the damage was obviously heavy.

"Flying needle!

Swing Death Size, Activate Skill.

The flying needle is never powerful, just for the skills you have just acquired in the Devil's Forest.

It wasn't strong, but it could be imitated like flying a needle extensively, so it was an effective offense against someone making quick moves like Carbuncle.

In fact, did Carbuncle decide it was dangerous because of Ray's condition, or he tried to escape quickly from the scene... but he couldn't imitate it to move quickly for damage, and as a result, he gets some parts of his body pierced by a needle.

Now, if Carbuncle were a bigger monster, a needle stab wouldn't have done that much damage.

Less damage done to an opponent with a flying needle is only if you deal with a monster the size it deserves.

If the target's carbuncle is small, it is sufficient to inflict fatal injuries, even if it is a widely released flying needle, and falls into the ground.

My hands and feet were cramped for a little while, but eventually the cramping stops as well.

"I don't know, subtly bad aftertaste."

If this were a normal...... monster with a more vicious look, Ray wouldn't have said this either.

But Carbuncle is definitely a monster, and he's actually attacked Ray, but if you just look at his appearance, he even looks adorable somewhere.

You killed such a monster, so it wouldn't be strange to think the aftertaste was bad.

"Grrrrrrrr"

Seto rubs his face so as to comfort Ray like that.

"Thanks.... Whatever it is, it can be dismantled as soon as it's about this size, but can it be tonight or after we get back to the guild"

Of course, demolition is nothing but a demonic stone.

Only demon stones need to be stripped away now.

Using a knife for dismantling, slash and tear the torso.

When you take the demon stone out of its little heart and wash it with running water dagger water, you wonder what to do with that demon stone.

The Demon Stone is naturally used in Warcraft, but the problem in this case is that there is one and one existence that should use Demon Stone: Seto and Death Size, whereas there is only one Demon Stone in Carbuncle.

"Anyway, I would have liked another Carbuncle to show up.... Seto, you can use this demon stone"

"Grrrrrrrrrr? Grrrrrrrrrrrr"

Is Seto okay with Ray's words? and gaze.

Of course, it is more likely that you will be able to acquire some skill than you are a rare monster demon stone like Carbuncle, and I don't want Seto to decide that demon stone either, beyond that.

But still, why not learn new skills for the death size Ray uses, or strengthen them?

That's what Ceto thought, but Ray opens his mouth as he strokes his head after understanding Ceto's feelings like that.

"Warcraft is fundamental to mastering the distinctive skills of a monster who had that demonic stone. … basic, sometimes mastering totally unintelligible skills, but let's just say that"

"Gru."

Seto nodding at Ray's words.

Ray continues his words as he offers such a demonic stone to Seto.

"Whatever it is, when it comes to carbuncle skills, it probably prevents magic… or more likely to reflect"

As the ability of Carbuncle, it would be the most famous.

Japan where Ray was... more precisely Earth, but the Carbuncle heritage that is told there is that whoever has the red gem embedded in his forehead gets wealth and fame.

But Carbuncle, who was recruited as a subpoena in the national RPG, had the ability to bounce the magic of his enemies.

And Carbuncle in Elgin has the ability to reflect the magic of the game.

For example, what you get from this Carbuncle demon stone is likely the ability of that system.

"In my case, I have a dragon robe, and I have a magic shield. Besides, it's basically a style of combat that avoids enemy attacks. Compared to that, Seto's pretty much bigger than me, isn't he?

Seto's body length exceeds three meters.

Still, thanks to my high athletic ability as a griffon, I can act very quickly, but that's still how easy it is to be targeted that my body is larger.

One of the reasons the battle against the giant wolf cleaned up so lightly was definitely because the body is huge, as the name Giant Wolf suggests.

If the giant wolf's abilities were intact and his body wasn't the ridiculous size of 10m long, that would have made him a very nasty opponent if he was about a tenth or a meter big.

That's not strange, even if it was the best you could do to get away.

"Grrrrrrrrrr"

Hearing Ray explain, Seto sounds his throat gladly.

I'm also happy to get a rare monster demon stone such as Carbuncle, but I guess I'm happier than that because I still understand that Ray is caring about Seto.

Being taken care of by my favorite Ray is happier for Seto than being able to master new skills.

Because of such joy, Seto rubs his face against Ray in a sense of gratitude.

"Hahaha. Don't rub your face so hard, 'cause it tickles."

Seto's face is more wrapped in feathers than he is an eagle.

Laughing at the tickle, Ray offers the Demon Stone to Seto.

"Look, just swallow this demon stone"

"Gru!"

He sounds joyfully and swallows the demon stone after being swallowed with couchworms.

[Seto says, "Magic Reflection Lv. I 'mastered the skills]

The announcement message that resonated in the back of the brain was exactly what Ray expected.

"I knew it was a magic reflex.... but level one, what do you mean? Can you only reflect weak magic? Seto, try it."

"Grrrrrrrrrr!"

To Ray's words, Seto quickly activates his magic reflex skills.

Then there is a shield of light right in the vicinity of Seto… that is what skills similar to the magic shield that Death Size is mastering reveal.

But the only thing that's the same is a shield made of light.

Its size is only about a 30cm radius, not very much, but it cannot be said to be the same size as a magic shield.

"This... I see. Here it comes. I was wondering exactly if Seto's body that object would be able to reflect magic, can it produce a shield of light that reflects magic?... much smaller though. Is this small because it's level one? Or is it the same size as it is even when the level rises? Seto, can you move it?

To Ray's inquiry, Seto moves the shield of light lightly to show it.

And when Seto is distracted, its shield of light stands around Seto.

The area also had the same performance as the Death Size Magic Shield.

"When that happens, it's magical reflexes later... but there's no way I'm gonna try it here."

The only magic Ray can use is flame-based magic.

Beyond that, if Seto reflexed it using magic here, the demon forest could have been on fire.

If you think about it, you can't imitate it like you would try it here.

"It's only after the promotion exam that you try to see exactly how powerful magic can be reflected."

"Grrrrrrrr......"

To Ray's words, Seto looks sorry.

If you tried Ceto, you would have wanted to make sure the performance of the magic reflex was well checked.

Nevertheless, Seto also knows that Ray can only use the magic of flames.

To be precise, we can do things like consume a lot of magic and grant non-flame attributes to the magic of flames, but still the basics are the magic of flames.

More than that, there was no reason to use it in the Devil's Forest.

(The safe house... no, you should stop it. If magic reflexes and something like a safe house burns, it won't go out of style)

It is not surprising that the building itself has been fortified in some way, although naturally more than it is a lair at the gates of Zeppael.

But still, as far as Ray was concerned, I didn't think I'd try to imitate the detour, just in case.

Then you should try it after the promotion exam is over and after you get out of the Devil's Forest.

"In the meantime, move on. Seto, deactivate the magic reflex... and wait a minute"

"Grrrrrrrr?"

Ray wanted me to unravel the magic reflex, but the moment I mouthed it, I would immediately flip it.

What happened to Seto, compared to Ray like that? and turn the gaze of doubt.

"The skill of magical reflection reflects the magic of the passage of that name. Because... what happens to your skills?

That was why Ray stopped telling Seto to disarm the magic reflex.

As far as Ray knows, magic and skills are similar and non-existent.

Because the skill is the means by which those who cannot use magic for any reason can try to use the magic they possess for something other than magic.

Technically, can you describe skill as the intrinsic magic of that individual? The question lies with Ray.

Also, are the skills that are activated that way and the skills that Ceto or Death Size can use actually the same skills, even if the name is the same word as the skill?

I didn't know the neighborhood, but it's also possible that I can do something with magic reflexes, beyond the fact that any skill also uses magic.

"Seto, move the Magic Reflection Shield a little further away... if I use my skills and the Magic Reflection Shield doesn't work, try to move it to a place that doesn't adversely affect Seto"

"Grrrrrrrrrr? Grrrrrrrr"

To Ray's words, Seto seemed questionable, but now he decides to do what he does and see. Move the shield of light.

The shield of light could also be moved a little further away from Ceto, as Ceto would be free to move it to some extent if he wanted to.

(I wonder how far we can get this off Ceto? If you can get away with a good distance, it can be quite handy when dealing with wizards)

That's what I thought and asked Seto to move it as far as possible, but it was best to get about two meters away from Seto.

Activate the skill toward the Shield of Light, which is located away from Seto, while wishing that the skill would either increase or become Level 5, which strengthens the skill.

Flying Slash

The slaughter thus unleashed hits the shield of light… passing intact, slashing and tearing the bush behind it.

"Can't you do your skills? Magic reflexes are a skill, and I can't help it."

That being said, Ray seemed somewhere to be sorry.
