We got some information from the men we caught.It looks like we didn't get any information that would lead us to Hunter's Larrabee, but we know a few of Handyman's strongholds.

I'm afraid I'll have to head for the base.

Suddenly, the two caught did not get any further information, and eventually they became the nutritional source of the forest.

From that day on, five days after the day of herbal harvesting passed, and the bandits were caught.I was interested in Surakutan's research.

Did you get your eyes up two days early?!

I was stunned by Surakutan, who had set his sights on me two days earlier than originally planned.As far as the bear under his eyes goes, he probably studied it almost without falling asleep.

"It was quite a rush, but I managed to do it."

Maybe if we continue with the research under the current policy, it will be completed soon. "

"That's amazing..."

"Shinya-kun praises me, is it going to rain?"

"I honestly thought it was amazing."I originally thought it was an impossible schedule, so I didn't expect it to shrink even if it was to grow. "

"Fufufu. Have you reviewed it a bit?"

Surakitan pulls out his chest and places his hand on his waist.

"Honestly, I think it's really amazing."I have to thank you for this. "

”Um, hmm... if you're so honest with me, I'll be like a terrible disgusting person.”

"Eh...?"

"No? Can you stop looking like that?!" I'm going to cry?! "

“I'm just kidding. Can you get out of here right away?”

"I want to collect a little extra medicinal herbs, so just collect it."

"I think you are tired, but you should give priority to leaving this forest now."There are likely to be bandits nearby. ”

"When the bandits arrive, this house will be razed..."

It's a house that I've lived in for ten years, and I'm sure it's been in love with.

If you don't want to be tampered with, you can make a rock wall with earth magic and hide it.

"I'm not very good at magic..."

Because it's a game where you can use magic, it's not just people who use magic.In fact, there were people with brain muscle styles, who raised their muscle strength status and didn't touch any magic at all.There were a lot of people in charge of tanks, so it was not unusual.A slime researcher with many types of magic resistance in the case of Suratan.Even if I could use life magic or some magic, I didn't have a magic stat that high.

"In that case, my mother and I will cover the house with rocks."You can also use magic to fake magic. "

"I'm glad to hear that." I've been here all my life, and I want to meet Pure Tan here, so I want to come back one day. ”

"Well then, Nil and I will collect the necessary medicinal herbs."I need you to get what you need into the inventory and wait for me in the carriage with Heine. ”

Roger that!

Sura Tan starts to prepare quickly.

"Nil. Let's hurry up a bit."

Yes!

Me and Nil go out of the house and get everything we need.

Nil runs the pure slime she's used to on her shoulders.

With regard to the medicinal herbs that can be collected in the inner layer, since Heine and Pilte collected them in time, there are a considerable number of them gathered together, so there is no need to collect them.Nil and I collected the medicinal herbs that grew on the outer layer, but because the search for unusual slimes was progressing at the same time, we did not collect enough.I'm going to collect it the fastest from now on.

It's been five days since the Survey Team came in, and there's a good chance that the handyman's hand has already broken into the woods.However, even if you are too vigilant and moaning in the inner layer, things will not go forward.As it stands, we haven't found it yet, so it would be best to move with a focus on efficiency.I found it because I was clumsy... I can't even guess.

Nil and I searched for and collected the necessary medicinal herbs and ran around the outer layer until the required amount was reached.Thanks to the slimes arriving together, the sampling can be done quite smoothly.Usually, it takes time to search for unusual slimes, but this time only for sampling.I used my appraisal magic to collect as much as I needed, one after another.

"Alright, that's it." I'm going back to the inner layer and headed for Janoya. ”

Yes!

It was when we finished collecting everything and we were about to run to the inner layers.

Bagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagib

Suddenly, the wind blows into the darkness.

"Huh?!"

Too much wind blew Nil and I apart, flying a few meters before we fell to the ground.The plant is cushioned and there is almost no pain, but I cannot understand what happened.

Nil?!

It's okay!

I immediately confirmed that Nil was safe, but Nil was just as intact.

When you look in the direction of the wind, it's very bright inside the outer layer.That must be the case. The large tree, which was supposed to cover the outer layer, was broken from the root and collapsed in one section.

Pyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

At that time, you can hear the high-pitched sounds you only heard once from the sky above.

Rock did it…

In the sky where the big tree became visible after it fell down, I could see the locks flying with both wings wide open.

This is definitely an offensive magic.

When we first saw the locks, they were flying with strong winds, but not enough to blow the forest away.But this time, it's powerful enough to tear the forest apart.In other words, there is a clear intention to attack.

That said, we were blown up, but we weren't directly attacked. In other words...

“Does that mean someone pissed off Locke…?”

"I want to be a monster... but I don't think there are any monsters around here that act provocatively against such a monster."

When that happens... are the bandits...?

"That kind of unpleasant prediction can come true, right..."

Bagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagibagib

"Huh?!"

Wind shot down from the sky again.It's like a hurricane.

Grrrr! Grrrr!

The defensive magic that I used to draw while I was talking, I could play pieces of wood that were flying, but all that was flying was the size and mass of the instant death class that I could hit.Even though I was using the Advanced Light Magic, White Light Shield, I was worried that the shield would be blown away.

Pyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

A lock that moves both wings in the air.

"What can I do to make you so angry..."

"Master, as it is..."

"That's right. We'll be damaged too."I'm going back to the inner layer...?! "

I don't want to be taken for granted, I try to evacuate quickly, but I can see a figure in the back of the forest ripped apart by the lock.

"Those idiots..."

I don't know how many people there are in all, but a few of them are running with one big bag.

It looks like a bandit to me.That is as expected.But I don't know, what the bandits are peeking into is a pale green egg.The size of an egg is close to two meters, but it is not an ordinary monster egg.

And Rock is furious.

First of all, it's definitely a rock egg.

"Did you steal the Rock Egg?!"

"If you become an SS ranked monster egg, you'll get enough money to live and play with for the rest of your life, but... it's a bad development."

Shinya-kun!

It was Sura who called from behind.Seeing the commotion in the woods, he rushed to follow his connection with the Pure Slime.Heine and Pilte also came with us.

"Haha! What a stupid thing to do!"Are you going to land this whole area?! "

Looking at the eggs the bandits had, Heine's voice was rough.

"It's not good... first of all it's too late... Rock has a very strong affection for children!"If the bandits escape, they just escape, and the damage will increase! "

Sura Tan has spent ten years in this forest.I don't think I've ever met Locke.She seemed to know the location of the lock's nest, and she must have observed the lock.The fact that the love for children is very strong is something that can be observed at that time.

"I knew the eggs were in the nest... but I can't believe they're stealing them... through suicide!"

Zuga ga ga ga ga ga ga!!

"Ngh!!"

Gon! Gon!

Even then, the high firepower wind magic blows.

Lock doesn't aim directly at the eggs so that they don't break, but instead, those who are not far away from the eggs are chopped into pieces and blown away like garbage.

Sinya-san!

"Damn... even if you try to escape, the horse won't move under these circumstances."We have to get them out of here somehow... "

"No! If the bandits enter the city like that, the city will be blown up!"

The bandits are running away so far.I'm just fleeing to a place where I won't be attacked, but if I go out there, it's not important.

That said, it's not something we can do.

Rock is basically flying, so there is only one way to deal damage: using a flying item or magic.

However, the lock is always wind-covered, and any simple arrow or intermediate magic will be played.Even if it hits, the whole body of the lock is highly resistant to magic, so the damage won't go through.

With Holy Soul Magic, it was possible to deal damage, but Rock was huge and quick to move.Even if I release my magic appropriately, I don't feel like hitting it at all.I don't know if I can hit it.

When it comes to fighting, you use all sorts of cowardly methods to gradually weaken it over a period of a few days, sometimes even a few dozen days, and then sack it where it can't fly anymore.If I didn't do that, I wouldn't be able to win.

Even if I suddenly started a fight with Rock here, I had no idea that the five of us could do anything about it.

"Even if you say that, you can't do anything about it?!"

“If you give me back my eggs, I may be able to calm you down!”

"You see that furious rock?!Is that suicide?! "

If we capture and kill the bandits and rescue and return the eggs... piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiI don't think I can be forgiven for saying that.As soon as I went to give it back, I was going crazy.

"But... at least if we can get the eggs back, we should be able to do no harm to the outside world!"

………………

Do you dare to risk your life here and choose to take back the Rock Eggs?

The bandits who took Rock's eggs died for nothing but their own gain, and it didn't matter at all.You'd rather die than die.However, if you leave it like this and get out of the forest, the damage to the surrounding cities and villages will be immense.

As can be seen from the fact that Rangebi produces a large amount of crops, a lot of food is harvested in the surrounding villages, cities, and mountains.If it were devastated, it could cause starvation over a very wide area.

And... if an egg breaks in some kind of beat, a broken lock may make the entire area around it uncharted.

Leah and Sanamari. Lenya and all the Eagle Crows.Anyway, it affects a lot of people.If you're unlucky, it could be a prey for the angry rocks.

Best of all, we're counting on cities and villages around here for strength and supplies in the Great Alliance.Once it is destroyed, there is a good chance that it will be no longer a war.

The more I can think about it, the more I think it would be best if we managed to subdue the rocks.However, SS-ranked monsters are also known as Natural Disaster Class monsters, and natural disasters are basically not something that people can stop.It was a natural disaster.If we dare to stop it...

”Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Buggy, buggy, buggy, buggy!

"Huh?!"

Gon! Gon! Gon!

While I was lost, the wind magic of Rock exploded, and some of the forest was blown away.

"...... I'll take care of it."

Slatan pulls the dagger out of his waist.

"It's not something I can do by myself!"

"But... it's the bandits who are to blame, and Locke is just trying to recover his stolen child."I can't afford to overlook that. "

Everything is different in scale and circumstance, but from a slatan's point of view, angry rock can be considered to be my grandfather's great fury.The great fury of my beloved.You can't pretend not to see it.

"I'll go." Everyone run away.I'll see what I can do. ”

Slatan grabbed the dagger.

"... ahhh!! Damn!!"

No matter what I think, it is only a matter of disadvantage.I know that, but I can't abandon Slatan here anyway.

Nil.

Yes!

"We need you to stop the egg carriers and get rid of their guards."

Got it.

Nil puts her hair together with the wax she took out.

"Do you want to keep one person alive?"

"No. The bandits themselves won't be beaten, but Rock is on top."I don't want to make a gap to keep me alive.Hit me with all your might. However, do not touch those who have eggs unless you are sure. ”

Got it.

"Heine and Pilte look at the gap and take back the eggs.Please tim it according to Nil's timing. "

"Then it would be better if you didn't show up."

“Yeah, make sure you don't come out unless you're sure of a timing.”

Got it.

"I'm sorry to let you hang out with me..."

Sura Tan lowers his head when he sees us start a plan.But if you don't tell me to run away because I'm going alone... it seems like you're looking at us as one party.

"If you die from this, I'll hate you."

As usual, I'll tell Surakutan in a sloppy tone.

When I fought against the Heavenly Fox, the defeat was an absolute requirement, but I didn't need to defeat it this time.That is the only salvation.

"Well, then, you have to be careful about dying."

I... what should I do? "

"I need you to get rid of the rest of the people who carry the eggs."

I'll see what I can do to keep the locks down.Twenty seconds... No, I'll make thirty seconds.

In the meantime, we'll take the eggs back intact from the bandits. "

"That's what I said to myself."I'll definitely take it back. I'm sure of it. ”

"Good. First, I'll charge in and suppress the locks."Follow me. The grace period is thirty seconds.One mistake is unacceptable.Everyone, I asked you to do it. "

Yes!

Yeah!

Got it!

Yeah!

The faces of the four turned into faces when they were in battle.

Suraitan, can you kill the bandits? I'm a little worried about that, but I don't think I can break through the situation outside of this team.

We have no choice but to do it.

There were just over twenty bandits.There were quite a few of them, but most of them were torn apart by the magic of the rocks.

Zuga ga ga ga ga ga ga!

"Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Rock used Wind Magic, and the number of bandits decreased, turning into about fifteen.

Let's go!!

As soon as the gust of wind was through, I screamed and ran under the lock.

Keeeeeee......

The emblem engraved on his left arm shone.

I activated the Holy Soul Magic from the beginning.

It uses a light magic called Koukibojun.It's the unicorns that help.It is the sacred beast of the unicorn.

A white horse in one word, in the form of a sacred beast that is said to be unicorn and imagined.

Pure white hair throughout the body and a long, glittering face.And a pure white corner of about fifty centimeters.These creatures are called Unicorns.

It is a sacred soul that specializes in light magic among the sacred beasts.He's a noble creature, and he only misses people he recognizes.However, once you admit it, he often has a very friendly personality, and he is a cute guy who pushes his head against something.

The shield that activates with the help of the unicorn, the shine defense, has a pretty broken performance.In other words, it creates a dome-shaped shield with a diameter of ten meters, and its shield completely shuts down both magic and physical attacks.

However, if it becomes a magic with such a broken performance, naturally, there are conditions for use.

We only have five seconds before the shields start.

It is a magic that is very difficult to use because it only occurs for a short time.

However, due to the recent increase in the performance of the sacred soul magic, the effect range and effect time have increased, and the performance has changed to fifteen meters in diameter and ten seconds.

It's a little easier to use, but the effect time is still short, and it's still difficult to use.

This time, however, it is precisely a situation in which that power is useful.

Because we were far away from the magic epicenter of Rock, we were able to prevent damage with advanced light magic, but it wouldn't happen directly below.

Rock is one of the SS ranked monsters that uses wind magic, but it's also a powerful wind magic monster.First, without a doubt, it blows up every shield in one shot.

In contrast, the unicorn shines and shields, and somehow prevents magic.You can only use the Holy Soul Magic twice a day and spit it out here twice.That alone will earn you twenty seconds.

Locke doesn't want to break the eggs, so magic won't come to the Dark Gecko.If I activated the Holy Soul Magic together, I should be able to earn a total of 30 seconds...

Honestly, I can't say I'm confident.But if we don't make that much time somehow, we're not talking about eggs anymore.Even if it's somewhat impossible, I'll try to make some time for thirty seconds.
