Separating from the Silwa adventurers, the Rays were advancing through the Oasis hierarchy in the desert.
　Due to the nearby oasis, the temperature of this 15th basement is rising, but in terms of comfort, it was much higher than the desert hierarchy above.
　...as far as comfort is concerned.

"They are indeed adventurers of the Silwa family, and they seem to have their own arms,"

　Ray mutters as he gazes at the bodies of several monsters lying in front of his eyes.
　the bodies of perhaps nearly ten covolts
　Probably because it had been dismantled to strip off the material. It was because the impact of the battle and the dismantling of the ripping off of the animals had left them uncountable, though not very much.
　Like the lays, they must have thought it was their prey and attacked them, but the result seems to have been the same as the revenge.

"It seemed like I was struggling during Sword B. ... but it was probably because there were so many enemies at that time."
"I suppose,"

　Ray nods in agreement to Elena's muttered words.
　Even ordinary people die when attacked by countless ants. The difference in number is so overwhelming.
　Furthermore, Kobold is not much different from Sword B. in rank. The result was a scene now spreading before the laymen.
　...but that's why some monsters appear.

"Ringling!"

　Feeling something approaching, Set calls out alarm, and Ray and Elena, who come back to life, also hold their death-size and articulated swords.

"It's true that the monster's corpse is falling like this, and some people are looking for it."
"But it's a Covolt?"

　mutter in an involuntary tone to Ray's words.
　Unless there are many exceptions, low-ranked monster meat is not tasty. ...no, it's fair to say that it tastes bad.
　And while Cobold is above the goblin, he is still a low-ranking monster, and therefore Ray has to hang his head when asked if monsters in the 15th basement want to fight adventurers.
　But, as long as Sett was actually wary, the monster was definitely approaching the Lays, and he was going to leave here quickly...

(It was too late)

　Breathe out and look at the surrounding trees and the emerging monsters.
　The monster, like a snake walking on two legs, was familiar to Ray.
　I can't forget it because I fought in the previous dungeon.
　a lizard man That's the name of the monster that appeared before the Reys.

"Do dungeons have these guys all over the place? I thought they lived in wetlands and other humid places. I don't remember hearing from Pleiades."
"Even Pleiades doesn't know all monsters well."
"Grull".

　Head to the lizard man, who has gathered in the smell of blood, Seto utters a cry.
　Standing next to the set, Ray realizes that the lizard man who appears is very different from the one he knows.
　A particularly large difference would be the color of the scales. Previously, the lizard fought in the dungeon, where the altar of succession was located, in blue and green scales. However, the lizard man now appears with brown scales that could be described as sandy.

"Well, I'm more of a desert-adapted lizard than a lizard. Then you could think of it as a different monster. It's called a dessert lizard man."
"Well, and three of us are not that big. Is it because we judge that we are so good at it, or is it simply because there are few lizardmen? Which do you think?"
"Well, now...

　They probably saw the opportunity for Ray to speak. One of the most backward individuals in the dessert lizardman appears to pull a bow and shoot an arrow.
　But despite the near-unexpected situation, Ray's sharp, death-sized blade slashed the arrow.

"Roll-rolling.

　The surprise attack on Ray makes Seto angry and sinks himself so that he can jump at any time.

"Calm down. ... Elena, three enemies." You know what to do, then?"

　Patting Seto on the head to calm him down, Ray calls out to Elena, who holds a connected sword next to him.

"You don't care if it's just one by one?"
"Oh, ... good, good!"

　With that voice, the hand patting Seto's head is released, which signals Seto to kick the earth and leap to the front of the Desert Lizard Man.
　Did they steal it from the adventurer, or did they make it by themselves with their own advanced skills? Equipped with a long sword, leather shield and leather armour, Desert Lizzardman turned his eyes to Sett, who was attacking the reptile's characteristic emotions, and stood ready to attack him with a shield.
　It was too reckless to fight Seto head on, though Gryphon might never have been the other party.
　The shield, with monster leather stuck on the plank, is easily crushed by a blow to the forefeet of Seto, blown away by the Desert Lizardmen who held the shield, and hits a nearby tree from the back, breaking the bones of his spine and dying.

"Shhhhush!?

　The Desert Lizardman, whom Elena has determined to be his prey, sees his companions die easily at one blow, and turns to him for a moment.
　But this was another fatal moment to fight against Elena.

"It's licked to look around at me! Regret your carelessness in the afterlife!"

　a connecting sword wielded with the word The blade, whipped by the magic, quickly twines into the spear of Desert Lizardman, and when Elena draws the connected sword, the handle of the spear is split into several parts and falls on the sand on the ground.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　When he uttered a threatening cry, perhaps because he didn't like Elena's attack, he threw a part of the handle of the spear, which had been held in his hand and was barely safe, over Elena's face, and closed the gap to dazzle her.
　She's a human woman after all. It was probably because he judged that he would win if he were to take it to a physical fight, but it was too lenient for Elena.

"Phew."

　Looking straight at Desert Lizardman with his fist clenched and straight at him, Elena laughs at him.
　By pulling the handle of the connecting sword in the right hand, the connecting sword, which should have been behind the Lizardman, instantly returns to Elena. ...with the point of the sword turned to Elena.
　Between Elena and the point of the connected sword is Desert Lizardman, who is about to strike. Desert Lizzardman thinks he's stuck in fear of approaching him, as he sees himself without much action. The consciousness sinks into eternal darkness when one raises one's fist, saying, "Then."
　The point of the connecting sword pierced the back of the head and left the head unnoticed.

"Stupid,"

　He swung his connected sword back into the long sword state, playing blood, pieces of flesh, or brain pulp, and turning his gaze to the last one.
　In front of his eyes, Ray, who had kicked the ground and held himself in a death-size position, cut down an arrow fired by Desert Lizzardman with a bow, and had already captured the enemy in what could be called a death-size absolute slaughter zone.
　Desert Lizardman, who barely moved his expression, knew he was already dead. His weapon is already a bow, and only with an avant‐garde. However, the two avant-garde guards, who were supposed to be dependable, were easily killed by those in front of them, and they were also slowly captured within range of their weapons by an opponent with a huge sickle.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　At this rate, I will never be saved. The dessert lizardman acted quickly when he decided so.
　Throw the bow in your hand to the ground while screaming, and raise both hands.
　It's an unmistakable signal of surrender.
　If you're a monster that moves only by instinct, you don't even know what it means, and you know it only because you're a dessert lizard with a certain level of intelligence.
　The unexpected action left a death-size blade on the verge of cutting off the torso.
　The blade had stopped a few centimeters to the body of Desert Lizzardman, with his hands up.

"Sha..."Now that the attack has stopped, we can see that it was a sweeping blow. But it was only now that the attack had been stopped.
　If I hadn't raised my hands as a signal of surrender, my torso would certainly have been in two.
　Just by thinking so, Desert Lizzardman felt that his proudly lustrous sandy scales would turn white with terror.

"Do you know the meaning of the act?"
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"

　a thin breathing voice
　The Desert Lizzardman doesn't understand what others say, even though he knows the signal of surrender. The act of raising both hands was due to the fact that we had seen each other fighting before.

"…I don't know what to say, but I don't you think? In the first place, monsters in this desert hierarchy should be extremely violent. What do you think is going on?"

　Release the death-size blade from his torso, and ask Elena, who approaches him as soon as he does something careless.
　But even Elena couldn't understand the language of the Desert Lizardman, and she spoke in bewilderment.

"I remember hearing about it before, but it's the first time I've ever actually encountered a monster with this attitude."
"Then what shall I do?"

　Ray has a minimal harvest, given that Sett has already knocked down a dessert lizardman. However, the only magical stone that can be used in the art of the beast is the one overthrown by Seth, and the one overthrown by Elena, who neither Ray nor Seth attacked, can be used in the art of the beast.
　I was honest enough to defeat the Desert Lizardman, who was signalling surrender in front of me.
　But I'm also curious about Desert Lizardman, who is raising his hands in front of him as proof of surrender.

(I'm intelligent enough to understand my gestures and apply them. If that happens, of course, there is no denying that another adventurer could be attacked by this. If you say that as long as you're an adventurer, you'll be responsible for everything, but if you go out of your way to help it, it's a aftertaste...?!)

　Ray, who was thinking inside, suddenly noticed a slight tremor on the ground and immediately leaped backward.
　He must have judged that the sudden disappearance of Ray, who was a symbol of death, was a golden opportunity to survive. I was about to run for it. Suddenly the sand beneath Desert Lizardman's feet softens, and the next moment something that emerges from the ground opens its mouth wide and throws its prey right above it into its mouth, biting it with its sharp tusks.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　In the mouth of the owner of the mouth, Sandworm, the scream of Desert Lizardman echoed around him... and soon the scream was interrupted and swallowed.

"Fly off!"

　Shaking death size, a flying slash is fired.
　The attack flies straight and deeply injures the body of the sandworm.
　However, the sandworms that appeared are considerably larger than the sandworms that Ray fought before, and Ray's flight alone is not a fatal blow.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

　Following such a ray, Elena wields a connected sword, and the point of the sword penetrates into the body of a giant sandworm, scattering skin and flesh around it.
　But because of the sandworm's sheer size, he was able to inflict a wound with a concatenated sword at once, and the point of the sword never reached the bone.
　Still, if the point of the sword were to sink into his body, he would swallow Elena with his sharp tusks, and with his mouth dirty with the blood of a chewed Desert Lizardman, he would attack her with open mouth.
