Legend

Ray was resting with Seth, 30 minutes away from where he fought the Crystal Dragon.

Naturally, the Fire Emperor's red armor has already been removed, and he has Death Size and Twilight Spear for the time of need.

It is called the Magic Forest, but there are also small springs and rivers in the Magic Forest, as well as places where trees naturally grow.

Ray exhaled as he leaned against the rock just beside the river.

"You'll be all right if you get here for now."

Ray left all the bodies of the crystal dragon… containing his severed neck, right hand, and tail, but as soon as he left, he heard monsters fighting behind him.

It was Ray who thought that there would be plenty of time left, but he must have mistakenly seen the ferocity of the monsters that exist in the Forest of the Devil.

Still, if you get this far, you don't have to worry about getting caught up in the fight.

It is not enough to walk normally, but enough for Seth to run, so it is quite a distance away.

(Since the unknown monsters have gathered themselves, it may have been time to hunt in that sense. However, I'm not in the mood right now.)

Lay leaning against the rocks and stroking Seto, who is lying next to him and soothing his fatigue, thinks so.

If this were to be fought against worm-sized enemies, we could still afford to fight.

However, immediately after fighting the Crystal Dragon of the Rank S Monster, I fought with the fierce monster... and I didn't want to fight multiple of them.

What I hear is the sound of the river flowing, the sound of the wind shaking the leaves of the surrounding trees, and... the voice of the demon.

It's a magic forest.

If this is not the Forest of the Devil, but a safer place to live, Ray will have a disgusting look on his face.

But now that I'm in the Demon Forest, it's no wonder I hear monsters fighting each other.

This is how I take a break after the battle, so I didn't want you to hear such a demon.

"Ouch!

The voice leaks from Ray's moving mouth.

I didn't feel that much pain when I was fighting or running away, but because I was able to rest my body slowly, Ray realized that my whole body hurt.

Of course Ray knows what the pain is.

Attacks with countless Crystal Shards from the back of a Crystal Dragon.

That was the damage I took.

Wounds that are not hidden in dragon robes are treated with potions and no longer painful.

However, breaking through the flame emperor's red armor defenses, and even the dragon robe was unable to completely kill the shock, leaving bruises in the body was irreplaceable for treatment.

(It seems to heal with potions, but it is a bit difficult to take off the dragon robe here.... though, it won't last forever)

Fire Emperor's Red Armor and Dragon Robe did not take much damage.

Still, the pain caused by bruises in my body was never better than to recover as soon as possible considering my future behavior.

Nevertheless, this is the Forest of Magic.

The proximity to the river is also a water field, and monsters are more likely to show up.

Thinking about it, maybe we should heal somewhere else? I didn't think so, but given the current situation, there is no doubt that it is better to recover as soon as possible.

"Seth, can you move now?

"Gruuuu....."

In Ray's words, Seth stood up, looking a little tired.

In the battle against the Crystal Dragon, Seth was also wounded inside by the same attack as Ray.

Although Ray used the potion to heal the wound, it was certainly true that Seto was exhausted only after the battle.

Still, after listening to Ray, he decided he needed to move right away.

"Sorry. I'll use my potion to heal my bruises. I have to take off my dragon robe, so please check the surroundings."

"Gruuuuu"

Seth accepts Ray's words with a throat.

For Seto, you knew Ray's treatment was necessary.

As Ray strokes his head in gratitude, he moves from the spot to a place he can't see from the surroundings.

I don't need to hide to take off my dragon robe anymore, but this doesn't come from feelings of shame.

I took off the Dragon Robe, Ray's greatest defense, to keep it from being found by monsters.

Even though Seto is watching his surroundings, he's just being careful.

When you finish recovering, your body aches will go away.

If this is a low quality potion, it is difficult to imitate that the type of cut will heal but the type of bruise will heal.

It's not entirely ineffective, but potions are originally better at healing slash wounds.

That's how he was able to recover the bruises he had in his body, as evidenced by the high quality of Ray's potions.

Then, making sure there's no more pain in the body, Ray gets ready and then approaches Seto.

"Thank you, Seth. I'm fine now.... as far as I can tell, the monsters didn't show up."

"Gruuuuu"

In Ray's words, Seto snorts his throat with joy.

I'm glad the monsters didn't come... but I'm sure Ray's injuries have healed.

"Well, then... what do we do now?"

"Gruuuuu"

Seto also rang to agree.

The original plan was to defeat many monsters in the middle of the day towards the depths of the Magic Forest.

However, the appearance of crystal dragons attracted to the smell of the worm is completely unexpected for Ray and Seto, and Ray's original actions are completely insane.

Fighting crystal dragons was pretty tough.

Compared to fighting the Queen of Dragonias, there is still a lot of room for magic.

However, he was still quite mentally exhausted in the battle against the Crystal Dragon.

I was pretty worn out when I fought a vampire, but the Crystal Dragon I fought earlier is clearly better than a vampire, so it should be worn out.

"I mean, it still feels like I've just entered the depths of the Magic Forest, but that's where I encountered the Crystal Dragon. Thinking about it, are there more monsters in the back than crystal dragons?... if I could, maybe a crystal dragon came closer by accident."

If the Crystal Dragon was actually a monster that wasn't that strong in the Devil's Forest... it wouldn't be stylish for Ray.

It's magically delicious, but that's why I can't afford to go to such a place at the moment.

Alternatively, if Ray and the others were not currently in the promotion exam, they would have been able to take a slow rest in the hideout before heading into the depths of the Demon Forest.

But Ray and Seth had to leave this demon forest before the date changed tonight.

That being said, I would like to refuse to fight a crystal dragon... or a stronger monster once again towards the depths of the Devil's Forest.

However, it would be a bit of a waste to leave the Magic Forest in the meantime.

Considering the promotion exam alone, today is already the third day.

Even so, there is now an option to ride Seto out of the Magic Forest in this situation... but if you try to lay it down, it feels unhelpful.

After all, this is basically a forest of demons that can't come freely.

That said, I don't know when Ray and Seth will come to this demon forest next.

That's why I want to destroy as many monsters as I can that inhabit the Devil's Forest in the meantime.

... of course, we are not allowed to approach the Magic Forest, but there is no such thing as boundaries.

If you want to break the rules and enter the Magic Forest on your own, it's not that hard.

However, naturally, the majority of those who do such things will be feeding on monsters that inhabit the Forest of the Devil.

As a Dusker or an Alliance, I think it would be better for you to die because it is likely to cause a disturbance even if you stay in the Gilm, rather than those who go all the way from where you say you shouldn't be near.

If you survive in the Forest of the Devil, it will prove to be a good adventurer for Gilm.

In that sense, Ray and Seth, who remember a place in this demon forest, will not find it difficult to come back to this demon forest again.

(Yeah, that's right. Next time, not just us, but Elaina and the others. Vihera, in particular, would definitely be delighted if she could fight monsters in the Magic Forest. However, I don't know where to stay at that time)

Some of Ray's people don't know what Ray and Seth are like.

If there were such people, they wouldn't be able to use a hideout.

... it's still unclear if Elena and the others will be able to cross the hideout line in the first place.

If it's impossible, we'll have to camp, but as Ray, I'd rather not camp in the Magic Forest.

If this is a normal forest, there's no problem.....

Gruuuu!

And Ray, who was thinking while listening to the sound of the flow of the river, returned to me with a voice that urged Seth to be vigilant.

Watch your surroundings with the Death Size and the Twilight Spear... and you'll notice something in the water.

"Monsters... what kind of monsters are they?

"Gruuuuuu"

I can see that there is something in the water, but I can't confirm its appearance with the flow of water.

Still, if you attack and you're preparing to fight back... eventually, the water will explode.

No, to be precise, something jumped out of the water and the impact seemed to have exploded.

It was the fish that jumped out.

Naturally, it's not just a fish, it's a fish with wings.

There is no doubt that sharp teeth from the mouth are powerful enough to bite the opponent.

"This is the real Tobioo!?

While screaming, Ray quickly jumps off the scene.

The size of the fish is about 1 m long.

The depth of the river was a ray that I didn't care about, but given that such fish were lurking, it would have been a reasonable depth.

"But!

The moment you bounce back and let your feet touch the ground, you step forward at once.

Fish with wings fly fast.

Besides, it's enough to poke at the other person's intentions by imitating suddenly jumping out of the water.

But... that's all I can say.

If Ray had been fighting crystal dragons the other day, he would have seen enough of the speed of the fish flying in the sky, and would have been able to cope with it.

I could even say that the fish acted slowly.

Slash!

With a Death Size swing, the fish fall to the ground with their torso cut in half.

"I thought it would be a more powerful monster because it would come out in this situation.... well, it's an unknown monster, and I can only get Magic Stones."

If you try Ray, this kind of enemy is no match for you.

Outside the Forest of the Devil, there are monsters with the right abilities.

Gruuuuuuu!

Seth sighted the fish carcass and shouted his throat with joy.

I basically liked meat, but naturally I don't dislike fish either.

I suppose you were more than happy to be able to eat fish with a meal.

For now, it's a magic stone.... Seth, what do you want me to do?

"Gruuuuuuuu? gruuuuuuuuuuuuu"

I don't care about myself, so Ray uses it to make my throat squeal.

In that case, Ray said a word of gratitude, then threw a magic stone... and cut it to death size.

[Death size is "Penetrate Lv. I have acquired the skills of 4.]

Such an announcement message resonated in my head.
