"Powerfully, that's where it is. Just like when the bees were using it."
Ray squeaks so when he sees the effect of the Acid Brace used by Seto.
Acid brace...... As the name suggests, it is a brace that fogs and releases acid, but its power is only as powerful as it was when bees used it.
When the bees actually used it, multiple bees instead of one had used it simultaneously, so the synergy was pretty powerful.
But if you've just remembered the Acid Brace and used your level one skills, you're not that powerful, naturally.
(Well, I guess the problem with power will naturally go up if you raise the level, so maybe you don't have to worry about it that much. However, I doubt how many enemies can master Acid Brace skills)
Warcraft has the great advantage of being able to acquire the skills that other monsters used lightly.
But at the same time, it is true that there are many skills that are not very useful at low levels, like level one.
Of course, there are hardly any skills that can be used at all that depend on how you use them.
"Seto, we need to find a queen bee because we've also finished checking our skills. It's quick to find it from the sky, but it could be raided by a flying monster. I want to avoid that, so I want to look from the ground. Can you find these bees' nests with an elevated sense of smell?
"Grrrrrrrrrr?... Grrrrrrrrrr"
To Ray's words, Seto shows a little lost, while Ray still hasn't stored them, the bodies of two bees... face closer to the body where the demon stone was taken out.
Naturally, it would be the blood odor drifting from it, just the corpse of a bee being torn through its torso.
But still Seto smells that bee… Next, he smells the smell around him.
In this case, it is difficult for a bee to fly and move through the sky.
If you're a monster walking on the ground, that's what leaves the smell on the ground just to be in direct contact.
In contrast, bees flying in the sky easily diffuse that smell by the wind, even if the smell remains.
In order to finish it somehow, depending on luck in a way… or depending on the sense of smell of Seto using an elevated sense of smell.
"Looking to catch the smell, Seto?
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words, Seto is fine! and honking his throat.
That seemed to represent Seto's confidence and was definitely a pleasure to Ray.
Depending on the current situation, it is also possible that other monsters will find you when you are looking for a hive.
… but if you try to gather a lot of Demon Stones for the Rays, that's not a bad thing.
But I'm tired of everything today.
It was honest that I wanted to defeat the queen of bees if I could and end my exploration today.
(It's the queen bee of bees that size. In some cases, can you deny the possibility of being a Rank A monster? Rank A monster twice a day)
The matter didn't seem subtly tired, but if you think about it, it's never a bad story.
If we can defeat two Rank A monsters by the end of the day, we won't be forced to look for Rank A monsters for the rest of the day, and we can simply look for monsters for Warcraft.
With that in mind, Ray also feels somewhat relieved of the mental fatigue of fighting the giant wolf.
... If an adventurer in the Guild, an adventurer who also has enough strength to defeat a Rank A monster, asks him if he wants to fight two Rank A monsters a day, he returns: 'Are you an idiot?' It would feel like the word, 'or they wouldn't take it seriously because they thought you were joking.
Few, if any, are quite a few who would like to do such imitations.
I guess there's also a gilm-like side of the neighborhood where many adventurers, even a few, are not all there.
Because rumors that there are many strangers to an armed adventurer are by no means a complete demma.
"Okay, shall we go then? I have a subtle bad feeling about being a queen bee."
At this time, it was Queen Dragonias, not Queen Bee, that came to mind behind Ray's brain.
Since I've been reincarnated into Elgin, I've drained my magic to its limits for the first time, so I guess it's only natural that I'm strongly impressed.
At least, I'm pretty sure he was a very nasty opponent if you tried to lay it on him.
That's Rank A, on the contrary, it wasn't strange to be a Rank S monster.
(Well, I don't think there's a similar presence to the Queen of Dragonias around there.... This is the Devil's Forest, and the expression around it doesn't suit you)
That's the Devil's Forest, so it's not strange to have a presence like the Queen of Dragonias.
In fact, the Black Snake, whose presence had never been distracted by Ray and Seto, lived normally in a place just outside the Devil's Forest.
"Seto, the queen could be a dangerous opponent, like the queen of Dragonias. Be careful what you look for."
"Gru!"
To Ray's word, leave it to me! and a throat-beating ceto.
Ray, who watched Seto like that, thinks so brightly that he doesn't even need to worry about it for now.
That seemed to be the difference between bees and dragonias.
A bee about fifty centimeters tall is definitely quite a foe.
That's what if you're a low-ranking adventurer, you're more likely to be killed if you fight a bee.
But still, if you get to about Rank C, you can beat a bee even one-on-one.
Compared to such bees, Dragonias could not defeat even the Centaurs without multiplying them.
If you consider the difference in strength between the two sides, you will need about ten bees to defeat one Dragonias.
Or maybe more.
For that reason, the queen of bees is no stronger than the queen of Dragonias.
It felt somewhat like telling herself, but Ray leads the Devil's Forest with Seto in mind that way.
The speed at which Seto progresses is never fast.
It's a move while using my olfactory lifting skills, so its speed really drops.
Still, I hope I won't be able to chase the smell after all trying to move around in a hurry.
(Nevertheless, bees are flying and traveling in the sky. The more time passes, the wind will scatter the smell, so I guess we should hurry a little if we can)
Though I think so, there's no point in imitating here to rush Seto.
On the contrary, if you imitate it badly here, you won't be able to follow the smell.
Then Seto had better concentrate on chasing the smell and Ray would have gone ahead with Seto's escort.
Moving on like that for a while, Seto accidentally rattles his throat.
Except it's not like finding a nest with a queen, it's a voice of vigilance.
From what Ceto looks like, Ray sets up a Death Size and Twilight Spear... eventually, I hear a feather called Boone that I heard earlier.
"From this feather, you're a bee again. That would be a bit of a hassle. Or should I be happy to be close to the nest?
Whimpering, Ray throws a spear of dusk toward the leading must-win and those who hear the sound.
I'm not clearly grasping the enemy's position, but still, given the current situation, I'd have preferred to have launched the attack first.
I used a dusk spear instead of a disposable spear, as I did earlier, because I decided that I should be able to throw it back on hand as soon as I removed the attack because the enemy would not be able to see it.
The dusk spear thus unleashed snaps or pierces the branches of the tree present among the bees… pierces the torso of the bee that was behind it.
It was also not like just one piercing would diminish the power of the spear of dusk, and pierced a few bees together.
The preemptive attack must have put the bees in a state of combat, too.
Several feathers named Boone fly towards those with Ray and Seto.
"Huh!
Towards those who heard such noises, Ray threw the spear of dusk again.
The bees also have the ability to move quickly through the air, but they still can't imitate things like dodging Ray's unleashed spear of dusk, and a few are put together and killed again.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
When Seto uses Ice Arrow skills, about fifty ice arrows are created in the air.
I still don't see a bee, but Seto still fires an arrow of ice all at once, regardless.
Ray's dusk spear blow is definitely very powerful, but still one in the end.
… Most of all, it does not become less powerful to the extent that it pierces the body of a single bee, so it can be imitated such as piercing a few pieces together.
Unlike such a dusk spear blow, Seto's number of unleashed ice arrows is fifty.
Nor is it about the spear of dusk due to the fact that the level has reached five, but it is also very powerful.
Such an arrow of ice was unleashed simultaneously.
That was an attack that would deserve expressions such as surface suppression.
"Giggle, giggle, giggle!"
With such a chirping, many bees fall to the ground pierced through their bodies.
No, the ringing...... the individual who was able to scream must have been lucky.
Being an unlucky individual was crushing his head by an arrow of ice.
(If you try this, Ice Arrow is a very user-friendly skill)
Among the skills Seto has, when it comes to skills that are beyond level five, it's just water polo, poison claws, ice arrows, optical camo, and power crashes.
Among them, poison claws and power crashes are for melee combat, optical camouflage is an auxiliary system that disappears, and only water polo and ice arrows can be attacked from a distance.
However, water balloons are capable of releasing water balloons about a metre in diameter at once, and have a high attack power around one water balloon, but only four in number. … although it is very significant that we can move somewhat freely in the air.
In comparison, the ice arrows, which existed as many as fifty, were a very powerful means of attack.
"After all, I had very little to do."
As Ray said, who groans unfortunately, the flock of bees that eventually approached him was swept away by an arrow of ice.
For once Ray threw a spear of dusk too, but that's all he did in the end.
If they asked me which defeated Seto or myself many, that was obvious without thinking.
"Grrrrrrrrrr!"
To Ray's words, that's amazing! and Seto squeaking with joy.
Ray strokes Seto's head as much as he thinks because he was actually sure of its awesomeness.
"That was awesome, Seto. You've shown me your strength. I knew Seto wouldn't count on you."
Wasn't this what you meant by praise killing?
I never thought so for a moment, but it's true Seto was actually awesome.
Of course, even if Seto didn't use ice arrows, if Ray fought, he would have been able to defeat all the bees.
Still, the act of Seto, who attacked quickly, was nothing but praise and dissatisfaction.
That's how when he finishes praising Seto, Ray retrieves the bee's body.
In the case of Raw Hate and this one, it was all the same kind of bee monster that knocked him down, so there was no reason to get a new demon stone.
"I really wanted to compliment Seto a little more. However, given the current situation, priority must be given to finding the Queen first… more firmly praised after defeating the Queen"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrr?"
To Ray's words, Seto sounds sorry... and throats in such a complicated way that he expects.
If you try Ceto, I guess it's still a great pleasure to be praised by Ray.
So, I know you would have liked a little more praise if it were true, but still, I was convinced by Ray's words that we should deal with the Queen first now.
That's how Ray and Seto get the queen bee again... looking for the nest to be exact.
The lucky thing at this time would be that he defeated the bee again this time.
Thanks to this, the smell of the bees that I had knocked down earlier was scattered in the wind, but from there it became possible to look for places such as where a new swarm of bees came from.
Ray, who perceived it from Seto's appearance, then grinned as to whether the herd of bees that had attacked him earlier was something he had not even hoped for.
Nevertheless, the bees also need to come and go in the Devil's Forest quite a bit more than they have come out of the nest and straight to where the Rays are.
And he kept going through the woods for twenty minutes... and eventually Seto found a hive.
