After Worwolf and Worwolf Leader's absorption of magical stones, Ray and Vichela were each riding on a set -- Vichela hanging -- on their way to Guilm.
　The sun is already gradually sinking from just above, indicating that afternoon has come.

"It's taken some time,"

　A murmuring Ray's voice drifted along in the wind.
　The Vihela hanging from Sett's forefeet probably didn't hear it, as it wasn't meant to be heard by Vihela.
　I was walking on the set without any particular words...

"Gruly!"

　Suddenly, the cet calls.
　When I turned my eyes to Seto, I saw a company of merchants attacked by a herd of monsters.
　The place is a flock of goblins.
　If you deal with a goblin that is by no means a fast runner, you can't catch up with it if you drive away.
　In fact, some merchants who came to Gilm after the monsters became more frequent have escaped by driving at full speed, even though they were attacked by goblins.
　Yes, I should have been able to escape if I ran.
　But... I can't do that because the horse pulling the merchant carriage has already been killed by nearly half.
　Originally, a carriage is only a carriage with a horse, and when a horse pulling a carriage dies, it is impossible to pull a carriage.
　and it was the killing of most of the horses pulling the cab that...

"Cobold?"

　mutter Ray
　From the back of the carriage a flock of goblins is attacking the merchant corps, and from the front of the carriage a flock of covolts is attacking.
　Such a scene was spread out in front of Ray's eyes.
　the goblin and the cobolt
　Monsters rank similar, but that doesn't mean they're cooperative.
　No, it's not uncommon for people to fight fiercely and kill each other because they are similar.
　But in the scene ahead of Ray's eyes, the two monsters are definitely working together.

"Ray!"

　The scene Ray and Sett were looking at was, of course, a Vihela hanging from Sett's forefeet. come screaming sharply
　Ray was momentarily unconscious by the unexpected collaboration of monsters, but he came back to life with the voice of Vihela.
　Ray and Vihela are on their way back to Gillum, fulfilling their request to subdue a herd of Warwolf.
　If you don't help the merchant force that is being attacked in this situation, you don't have to blame.
　However, it is not interesting to overlook the fact that a group of monsters is actively moving in Abuero, the nearest town from Gilm, and yet another person is being attacked.
　No, it's not funny, but Gillum relies on goods coming from outside because of her remote position.
　Of course, most of them are treated as luxury goods, not necessarily essential.
　Nevertheless, there was no choice but not to help the merchant force that carried the likes and dislikes of the difference between having and not having them.

(and the Goblin and Cobold are cooperating, and we will need to make sure of that.)

　Given all the problems with herds, there's a problem with knowing as much as possible about this situation where two groups of different races are working together.
　There was also a large proportion of them... but there was also a reason why they wanted the magical stones of the Cobold leader.
　For those reasons, Ray calls out to Seto and Vihela, without the option of overlooking the merchant corps under attack by two herds, Koboldt and Goblin.

"I'm going to help that company, is there any problem?"
"Gruly!"

　Seto nods immediately.
　Perhaps it has something to do with the creation of a sorcery, but it's Seto, who has a friendly personality.
　It was only natural for Ray to want to help the attacked merchant force because there was nothing in particular now, if he was in trouble.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Well, I don't mind,"

　Vihela nods back as if following Seto.
　For Vihela, who likes to fight against strong opponents, opponents like Goblin and Kobold are not fun to fight against.
　On the contrary, there is too much difference in force to knock it down is equivalent to work.
　Nevertheless, as long as the merchant force was attacked, Vihela was not cold enough to let him die here.
　If the merchant corps had not been attacked, but had just found the flock moving, they would have ignored it.

"Well, then I'll go at once." ...sett, I'll check out new skills."
"Slurrurling.

　Of course, a set of sounds.
　It was also a perfect match to test the skills gained by Worwolf and the Worwolf leader.
　Elevated sense of smell may be of little consequence, but poison nails don't know the exact effect until they're actually used.
　Ray was just right to try out his penetrate, his newly learned skills, and his other skills, such as painbursts, which he couldn't use in the battle against Warwolf and Warwolf leaders.

"Then I will defeat a flock of Koboldt fighting before the mercantile, and Seto and Vichela will ask for the goblin behind them."

　Vichela, who was told to ask for a goblin, looks down, hanging from Seto's forefeet.
　In the sense of pure enemy, Cobold is still stronger than Goblin, but... that's only within error.
　As long as she could not fight satisfactorily against either side, there was no big difference for Vihela whether she was fighting against Goblin or Cobold.

"Yes, it's all right,"
"All right. Then Seto will carry me over Kobolt."
"Grull!"

　At Ray's word, Seto makes a brief sound and flies over the merchant corps with wings flapping.
　However, it remains at an altitude of 100 meters even though it flies in the sky.
　Even at the same altitude, Ray's face is free of fear.
　It's probably from the experience of jumping out of the set many times.

(Perhaps I'm the only one who's used to falling from this altitude.)

　In the first place, Ray once lived in Japan... unlike the Earth, flying is very difficult.
　It was only natural, then, that fewer had the experience of descending from the sky.
　Furthermore, rather than flying like a dragon knight down in the sky, the descent in the literal sense... no, how many people can fly in the sky with the effects of Slapnil's shoes.

(Oh, no. Elena had Slapnil's shoes, and when Yero grew up, would she have the same experience as me? ...if she just flew, would she just hold onto Seto's feet like a Vihela?)

　Lei's mind passes when he jumps off the set with Elena holding Slapnil's shoes.
　The two nicknamed crimson and general princess suddenly descend from the sky.
　It must be a nightmare for the enemy.

"Set, Vihela, see you later."

　Say so as you pass by the Vihela hanging from Seto's feet, and Ray's figure falls straight down to the ground.
　Using Slapnil's shoes to kill speed several times in the air, taking the spear of Death Size and twilight out of the mistling, Ray's figure eventually falls into a swarm of Kobolts attacking the adventurers guarding the merchant corps.

"Multiple slashes!"

　Just before landing on the ground, Ray uses his new skill of multiple slashes, shaking his death size.
　The blow must have been completely unexpected to the Kobolts. Cut the trunk from the head to the top without being able to do anything.
　At the same time, a non-death-sized wound was created on the body split into trunk and bamboo.
　However, having died at the first blow, the chase had no meaning whatsoever.

"Wow!"

　Cobold exclaimed in surprise that Ray's blow had suddenly killed his friend;
　Ray invokes a new skill against Cobold.

"Pain burst!"

　At the same time as his pain-touching skills are activated, Ray hits a death-size, cross-mowing blow.

"Oh my gosh!"

　Several cobolts on a death-size blade scream loudly.
　Cobolts whose bodies have been amputated die without even screaming, but Cobolts whose bodies are half-wound are directly affected by the effects of painbursts.

"Penetrate!"

　Shake a death-size horizontally and activate your skills by projecting a death-size stone projection wide backward.
　A wind-clad stonemate shatters Cobold's head, which was about to attack Ray from behind.
　A few seconds... I guess the Cobold leader felt threatened by the sight of Cobold dying one after another in less than ten seconds. give a sharp cry"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

　Following the call, the Cobolts pause their attack on the merchant corps and launch an attack on Ray.
　However, the power of Cobold and Ray is still far apart, resulting in the creation of one body after another.
　As soon as the death-size is turned, the spear of the twilight is released to take advantage of the gap.
　When a twilight spear pierces the instep of the foot and stops moving, the head is cut by a death-size blade.
　In addition, the skill of multiple slashes which had just been acquired is used many times, and many Kobolts are double slashed in one attack. ...however, since most of the covolts were killed in a death-size blow, few covolts actually had the effect of multiple slashes.
　Even more vicious was the Pain Burst.
　The vicious effect of doubling the amount of pain inflicted on them is enough to interfere with behavior even if the wound is not as bad as it should have been.
　Others use wind hands to pull their tails, projecting twilight spears in a moment's distraction, or using topographical manipulation to move the ground a little bit and strike a death-size blow where the movement is slow.
　Such behavior continues, and the number of covolts decreases rapidly.
　And Ray is not the only one fighting.
　There is an adventurer who guards the merchant corps, though he was under pressure until Ray came. Even merchants, perhaps, had some skill in their arms, had bowed and shot arrows from above the coachboard.
　Then Ray came and turned the tables all at once, but he wasn't so easygoing as to take advantage of it.
　Taking advantage of the fact that the Cobold's turn to Ray, he attacks Coboldt, who has made one gap after another.
　It is only natural that the number of covolts will decrease if attacked in this way.
　The adventurers of the bodyguard were originally working near Gilm. Naturally, the arms themselves are not bad.

"Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!"

　And the moment the last Cobold died, the Cobold leader moved on.
　It was only natural that Ray decided whether he would come or not, if he had seen a group of covolts, which he could describe as a rush.
　But... the Cobold leader's action was to escape.
　He immediately turned his back on Ray and started running.
　That's true if it's said that the character of Koboldt, a weak species among monsters, is the same, but Ray is left blank for a moment because of what happened before.
　And Cobold is only a monster with a dog's face, and his foot is relatively fast.

"Let me go!"

　The unexpected development briefly surprised Ray, but he immediately kicks the ground.

"Oh, come on! Even if I follow you now..."

　One of the adventurers of the bodyguard tries to say so, but Ray turns a deaf ear to the leader Coboldt, who follows him.
　Ray's galloping speed is by no means inferior to the Cobold leader.
　No, on the contrary, the distance between Ray and the Cobolt leader shrinks over time.

"It would be too selfish to run away while attacking! Powerslash!"

　A high-level powerslash hit smashed most of the Kobold leader's torso.
　The surrounding area is neatly spread with the internal organs and pieces of meat of the Covolt Leader.
　Ray frowned faintly because he could not completely kill the backlash from this blow.

`... whoop,'

　Still, the magical stone was not destroyed, but he saw it lying on the ground and exhaled with relief.
