Legend

The tip falls to the ground from the destroyed part of the chimeric body's head and tail snake.

Seeing the sight, Ray finally felt relieved.

Phew, did you manage?

"Gruuuuuu"

Seth, who defeated the snake, came to Ray's side and rang his throat.

Seto, you didn't expect to be attacked while trying to get out of the Devil's Forest.

Since this is the Forest of the Devil, it's no wonder you encounter some kind of monster, even if you think it's just a lower rank monster.

Well, it's time to put it away.

Place the Death size stone poke on the ground and use terrain manipulation again to restore the sunken area.

Chimera's body, which remained standing because it was sinking, fell to the ground as a result of the impact.

"I was a bit surprised that you were a Rank A monster, but considering the promotion exam, it's not that bad."

In fact, when you defeat a Crystal Dragon, you will definitely pass the Rank A Adventurer Ascendancy Exam, but the criteria for this Ascendancy Exam are only two or more Rank A Monsters.

There's no point in rank S monsters.

It's not necessarily like that.

Of course, Rank A monsters have already defeated two or more of them that are eligible for promotion examinations.

The body was also in the mystery, so if I hadn't encountered this chimera, I would have passed the promotion exam.

Still, I'm sure you'd better take home the bodies of a number of Rank A monsters.

(What happens if someone other than me takes the same exam? I was told to bring the body of the Rank A monster as much as possible, so when that happens, you fight for two or three nights while protecting the body?

Alternatively, if a party has enough people to take the Rank A promotion exam, they might be able to split the situation between protecting the monster's corpse and actively hunting the monster.

However, if you leave the body piled up in the Forest of the Devil, many monsters will come attracted to the smell of blood, of course.

Depending on the situation, the body may rot.

And... in the worst case scenario, the monster's body could be undead.

Not really, but it's hard to deal with them at a party where you're going from a Rank B Adventurer to a Rank A Adventurer.

After thinking about it, Ray remembers that the case of this demon forest was special because it was my exam.

Because I have a partner named Seto and I have a mystery, I decided to fight in the Magic Forest specifically for the promotion exam.

"For me, it was a bonus stage in a way, but normally, I'm definitely dead."

Normally, you encounter multiple Rank A Monsters on your own... sometimes encountering a Crystal Dragon from a Rank S Monster is hardly a promotion exam.

That would be the right thing to do.

However, given the current situation, Ray can be sure that he and Seto were the only ones who could survive.

... I don't think Ray thinks he's the strongest person in the world, so there's no doubt that he's the strongest person in the world, and in that sense, I really don't think he's the only one who can survive this test...

"Well, for now, I can't stay here forever, so it's time to move. We need to store Chimera's body before that happens."

Murmuring, Chimera's body, Ray and Seto each flew away to store the dog's head and the snake's body from the tip.

"Alright... I don't want to fight any more, so let Seth fly over and gather the enemies above the Forest of Demons to escape at once."

Gruuuu?

Ray says he won't fight any more, and at the same time he tells him that he will take his enemies over the Magic Forest and escape.

Seth makes it seem that Ray's words are contradictory.

Did you notice how Seth looked? Ray opened her mouth while stroking Seth.

"We had no choice but to fight normally here, but if we get out of the Magic Forest, we can wipe it out with magic.... did you not tell me this before?

"Gru"

Said, and set his throat on Ray's words.

But the situation itself is different from what I was told before.

Anyway, if this is really the last time... and Seto is reluctant to show that he is convinced by Ray's words.

So Ray rides on Seth's back... after a few steps of escape, he wings at once and runs up the sky.

Even though the branches of the trees that grow around me interfered with Seth's wings, Seth broke the wings and went out over the Magic Forest.

"Hee... when I look at the Devil's Forest again... it's so creepy that I can't say anything."

"Gruuuuu"

Seth shouted her throat at at Ray, who looked at the Forest of the Devil from above.

I flew temporarily over the Demon Forest during the battle, but there was no way I could get up to the Demon Forest and see the surrounding situation.

It was only natural to agree with Ray by looking at the surrounding situation.

But... this is not how Ray and Seth, who are flying in the sky, can stay in this situation forever.

There are many monsters above the Night Demon Forest.

The fact that Ray still doesn't have as many monsters as he thought is because of the fog earlier.

Still, flying monsters seem to have more monsters than those on the ground, because there are still many who appear by the trees.

Also, unlike monsters who had to walk on the ground, flying in the sky was thought to be a big reason because of its high mobility.

Such a large number of monsters naturally quickly find Ray and Seth.

And what if you find your prey?

Normally, I wouldn't try to attack a Griffon of a Rank A monster.

However, there are fewer monsters in the Forest of the Devil who run away watching Seth's appearance.

Not to mention, the monsters that are now active are the ones that have been active since the unnatural fog appeared and soon after it disappeared... or the fog occurred.

Only such enemies, of course, will attack if we find Ray and Seth.

The question for Ray, who was looking at it, was why she was only heading for Seto.

I know that enemies other than myself or my own people recognize it as bait.

However, if we find any other enemies, many of the flying monsters are headed for Ceto.

Whether it hits while flying or gets in the way, it doesn't chase if the opponent is no longer near you.

Monsters flying over the Magic Forest are also diverse.

Some of them have widened their power gap to the point where a single blow in the way kills the opponent.

(What's going on here? Why would all the monsters do that?

Such a question comes to mind for a moment, but I quickly switch my head.

Seth, get out of the demon forest! The enemy is coming this way unexpectedly!

Gruuuuuu!

In Ray's words, Seth screams sharply and leaves the scene.

Among the enemies, besides monsters like bird and harpy that don't seem strange to fly normally, there are also amorphous monsters whose bodies are made of smoke, as well as Wyburn and insect types... which are so troublesome to count.

Since such monsters are attacking all at once, it was only natural that Seto should run as Ray instructed.

"Needless to say, Seto, don't imitate leaving your enemies completely behind.... but as much as I can, I don't mind."

If possible, I would like to destroy all enemies who follow us.

That's what Ray thought, but even flying monsters have different abilities.

Some monsters are inferior to Seto, but still fly fast enough, while others follow him like he's drifting in the air.

Ray's goal was to wipe out all the monsters he chased outside the Magic Forest with magic, but if there was a speed difference, it wouldn't be that easy.

In that case, it wasn't like burning all the monsters with magic without missing a single one, but you should have thought it would be enough to attack some enemies.

Gruuuuuu!

While flying in the sky, Seth understood Ray's words! and loudly screams.

While listening to the sound of such a setto, Ray was rapidly heading out of the Devil's Forest, confirming from the ground.

(Ah, black snake... I wish I could say hello. Well, that can't be helped. There is no doubt that you will come to the Magic Forest and say hello at that time.)

Seto's skills include optical camouflage.

Skills such as being transparent and invisible to others, but the skills used by the Black Snake were not only invisible, they also had the ability to completely erase signs.

However, if the Black Snake unlocks his skills, he really appears to have appeared suddenly.

However, the upper skill of optical camouflage is Ray's prediction, and perhaps the possibility of purely metastatic skills... cannot be denied.

Anyway, it's not easy for Ray to meet only black snakes with some kind of skill.

That being the case, I had no choice but to expect the black snake to come out, but it was only on the first day that the black snake appeared in front of Ray and the others.

In fact, I've been watching over Ray ever since, but Ray and Seth never noticed it.

Gru!

When Ray thinks about the black snake, Seth accidentally rang his throat at at the warning.

A monster with a tight-like appearance approached just near the flying ceto.

"You're going too fast!

As he screamed, Ray poured magic into the eyes of Nebra, who was wearing a belt on his hips, creating a magical pupil.

A small, quick monster like a clam.

Since the distance is still considerable, Nebra's eyes are judged to be more effective than skills such as Death size slashing and throwing a twilight spear.

"Pi!?

Throwing a small weapon with the force of your fingertips... a method of attack called finger ammunition.

Nebra's eyes, unleashed by the attack, flew straight towards Tsubame, who must have understood his crisis. I tried to avoid it by force... but I couldn't avoid hitting it, and I hit it with the magical clouds created by Nebra's eyes.

However, it is still the result of trying to avoid it. Although Tsubame hit him, he fell to the ground without dying from his wounds.

"Ah"

Sadly. Ray thinks so.

However, the current situation where Seto is escaping at full speed, I can't say I want to go back and defeat the Tsubame monster just now.

Gruuuuuu!

When Seto leaves the Demon Forest long enough, he snorts his throat at at Ray while avoiding the blade of wind thrown from the monster behind him.

Ray nodded at such a scene and checked his back again.

Then there were about thirty monsters in pursuit.

It's considerably fewer than when I saw it in the Demon Forest, but it's because there are many monsters that have been placed due to flight speed, and some monsters have stopped chasing them along the way because they don't want to leave the Demon Forest.

Unfortunately for Ray, I started casting spells on Death Size because she was far enough away from the Devil's Forest.

Flame, born as a wall to catch everything and burn it. Give baptism by burning fire to all who follow me. "

At the same time as casting spells, a complex magical formation of flames was drawn in the air, centered on the Death Size.

The magic team is huge, and the size of the magic team is the magic effect range.

"The Wall to Burning Heat"

At the same time as magic was activated, the magic team exerted its effects... and became a wall of burning fire.
