Legend

Understanding the effects of the underground metastasis, Ray and Seto quickly left the scene.

This is not like how the smell of blood feels. Now, it is better to head out of the Demon Forest as soon as possible to avoid failing the promotion examination by being in the Demon Forest even after the date when the time comes.

(I'm glad you got the Death size fish magic stone for your hair.... the problem is that it is difficult to come out any more)

The fish that grows hair from inside the body is very creepy and uncomfortable for Ray... no, it's also very creepy and uncomfortable for Seto.

That being the case, it's only natural that I don't want to fight such enemies anymore.

(Later, Yadokari... it's not just a regular Yadokari, but I want a rare species of Yadokari magic stone, but I don't know.)

Rare species are called rare species because they are rarely encountered.

That said, it's up to luck to encounter the same monster's rare species again.

It will also take quite a lot of luck.

I was very sorry for Ray, but I was able to give up honestly.

(The first fish to come out dragged more rare species into the ground. At the very least, I should have left it as a regular yakukari.)

I was able to give up, but it's no surprise that I was robbed of a rare species in front of me, and I don't hide my dissatisfied expression.

Then I looked around and wondered if a new monster would attack me....

"Fog? At a time like this?

Ray is surprised to see the fog around him.

As far as Ray knew, fog was an early morning wake in a lake-like place with water.

However, in the case of a lake, there are boundaries, so the topographical conditions may be in place.

But it's late in the evening.

Sometimes it's been quite a while since we left the border, and the surroundings are already dim.

Ray and the others are proceeding along the river... because the trees don't grow much, the sunset light is still slightly coming in, but if you go away from the river and enter the Devil's Forest, the light is blocked by the branches of the surrounding trees, and it's not strange even if it's dark.

Ray was doubtful that fog would come out at such a time.

However, the fact that mist appeared in the morning was only Ray's knowledge, and there was a sufficient possibility that mist might occur due to some other factor.

The fog that was floating around wasn't so thick yet, so Ray and Seto didn't care about the existence of the fog, but... eventually, the fog became thick as they proceeded.

When Ray sees a thick fog that seems to be walking around in white gases, he decides that this is not just a natural phenomenon.

No matter how much it cost, the fog quickly became too thick.

A monster?... Ceto, please stop for a moment. "

"Gru"

According to Ray, Seto stops walking.

Because of Ceto, it didn't fall in the thick fog that you couldn't see many centimeters away, and it was able to proceed normally.

If this weren't Seth, the monsters and animals around here would definitely not have been able to make it.

If you suck at that, you can hit the trees of the Magic Forest, catch your feet on the rocks and fall, or you can fall into the river.

In any case, it is not uncommon to die directly.

Seto still has a very sharp sense of the five and the sixth senses around where he was able to go through it normally.

"Seth, do you really think this is some kind of monster?

"Gruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?"

When Ray asked, Seto rang his throat after he got a little lost and thought maybe he did.

Ray was convinced that this was an enemy attack.

I'm glad you're convinced... the question is how to deal with this fog.

Ray doesn't know how much fog is spreading.

However, as far as we have gone, we can see that a fairly wide area is covered in fog.

In other words, the central part of the fog... is more likely to be the source of the fog as Ray and the others are currently advancing.

(But the question is, how far should we go in this thick fog?)

When Ray looks around, it's hard to tell how much white fog is spreading and which way there is thicker fog.

"Seth, I'm counting on you from here on. Ready?"

Gru!

I'll take Ray's word for it! and a set of throats snorting.

Ray can't do it, but Seto can do it.

In a way that meets Ray's expectations, Seto proceeds.

Ray was riding on Seth's back, so although he didn't have to move in particular, the direction of Seth's progress undoubtedly deserved to be called thick fog.

(The problem is this fog... there's no special abilities or tricks, it's just a normal fog.)

It was Ray who gently reached out, but the hand that touched the fog was not something in particular.

It is not strange to have the ability to damage places touched by acid fog, or to take health and magic away from places touched by fog... but it is really just fog that is spreading.

(Fog.... maybe it wasn't a vampire, was it?

A dark world tree in this forest of demons.

It was Ray who fought the vampire who raised it, but the opponent was defeated successfully.

The ash body and Magic Stones are stored in the Misty Ring, so it is unlikely that the vampire was revived by any means, but it is possible that another vampire came from Ray's defeat.

Normally, no high-ranking monsters like vampires show up so easily, but this is the Forest of Demons anyway.

It's not strange that high-ranking monsters come out one after another, and Ray actually defeats several high-ranking monsters in two nights and three days.

And now it's getting dark, and it's not a strange time for vampires to show up.

"Seth, do you think you're a vampire?

"Gruuuu?... gruuuuuuuu"

It was a seto that thought a little about Ray's question, but eventually I shook my head sideways and denied it.

"You think I'm a vampire?

Gru!

For some reason, Seth snorts her throat confidently.

Ray doesn't even know why he made that decision.

I don't know, but given Seth's abilities, I can imagine that there might be some reason that Seth only knows.

Ray didn't know exactly what it was.

Still, if Seto asserts that, Ray also has a convincing expression.

... vampire abilities are diverse enough to be understood in last night's battle.

But Ray didn't have to fight vampires in this situation.

In fact, there was only one vampire magic stone left, so it was honest to say that I wanted two, one set and one death size.

But we don't have much time right now.

If the date is exceeded in this forest of demons, it will be a failure of the promotion exam.

That's why I didn't want to fight vampires right now.

(Speaking of which, after all, what kind of monster produces this fog? If the fog sprays so widely, it's not necessarily a low-rank monster.)

The surrounding fog is already too thick to be seen a few centimeters away.

If you look at it as ray, it's not like it's going through the fog, it's like it's going through a milk-coloured liquid... that's how it felt.

"Gruuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

I wonder how long I walked in the fog... when Ray couldn't figure it out, Seth made a sharp noise.

Like, "Do it."

That was an honest feeling for Ray, who heard Seto's voice.

Nevertheless, in this thick fog, it is impossible to confirm the enemy's appearance.

All Ray could do now was put a Death Size and Twilight Spear in place and respond immediately when the enemy attacked.

"Ooooooooooooooooo"

I heard that voice in the fog.

Ray waves Death Size to respond to the voice.

But the blade is completely irresponsible.

It's not like I slashed or tore apart an enemy, it's like I just slashed or tore apart a fog space... that feeling.

(Given the timing of the voice, it was not strange to hit it. That way, I'm sure the enemy is doing something strange.... the problem is I don't know what it is)

Now Ray's swinging Death Size was definitely the right time to strike.

Then we need to think of a different way of attacking.

(It is difficult to slay the fog in the first place. No, but that's normal fog. It was clear that this fog was the fog of some kind of monster, so it was certain that magic was being used. So you can cut the fog with a Death Size or a Twilight Spear?

With that in mind, Ray waves his magic to Death Size.

Everything around Ray is covered in fog, even if it doesn't have to be specifically targeted or imitated.

That's why there's a ray in the misty ocean... That's not strange.

It was such a fog, but the moment you shake the Death Size, the white fog disappears brilliantly.

As if I erased the wrong answer with eraser, the fog disappeared and I could see the state of the Devil's Forest.

But... it was in less than a second that I could see the Devil's Forest.

Immediately the fog disappears due to Death Size, and the surrounding fog spreads and hides it.

"This... will help, but it's troublesome."

It was clear from the Death Size attack that the fog was a substitute for magic.

At the same time, however, it became clear that it was pointless to wipe out some mist with a Death Size attack.

Enemies heal fog much faster than Ray can extinguish at once.

In games, enemies with auto HP healing can only deal less damage than they recover... That's how Ray thinks.

Nevertheless, I have doubts with such thoughts.

Why aren't the monsters attacking us? No, I'm sure she just approached.)

It's not like the enemy is actually attacking us while the strange noise rings around us.

It was Ray who wondered, but is there still something in this fog? I think so.

However, even if I look at the fog again, it doesn't seem to have any particular damage as before.

"Seth, what do you think these foggy monsters are doing? This fog does not have any particular effect. That way, I can only think of it as simply blocking my vision....."

"Gruuuuu"

Set's throat rang to agree with Ray's words.

Even with Seto's senses, there's nothing particularly strange about this fog.

After seeing such a setup, I'm afraid Ray doesn't even know it.

(Now, is there really nothing... or is there something that I or Seto can't recognize? If this is outside the Magic Forest, I can assure you it's the former.)

Rank S monsters like Crystal Dragons also exist in this Demon Forest.

However, it's not strange that there are monsters that can imitate Ray and Seto by granting them some ability that they can't recognize.

"Seth, use the Magic Eye of Shock. Targets can be anywhere."

"Gruuuu?... gruuuuuuuu"

As Ray instructed, Seto uses the Impact Magic Eye.

Although it is weak, it is a skill that does not allow other followers in terms of Active Speed.

The skill is activated and a portion of the fog is extinguished a little further away.

"Can you eliminate the fog even with the magic eye of shock?... so whatever skill you have, you can think of the fog as extinguishing."

The Magic Eye of Impact has the lowest power of any set or death size skill.

It's about losing skills that don't have Attack, such as increased sense of smell.

No doubt any skill with Attack will be able to eliminate the fog, as long as the fog is eliminated with such skill.

"This area seems to be the key to this skill's strategy."

Yes, Ray murmured and thought about what to do.
