"Gul-l-r-r-r-r-r-r!"

　The sound of Seto echoes around, and at the same time a blow on the forefeet is struck down.
　With the sound of bones breaking, the head of a goblin literally splattered into pieces of flesh.
　Pieces of bones, brains, eyeballs... they all scatter around, but Seto seems to be a bit disobedient.
　Last night, the power crash was raised to the next level with the magic stone of the Oak Leader.
　Fortunately, Sett used the skill as the goblin appeared on his way to the dungeon, but... he could not tell the difference in power compared to the usual front-foot blow.
　Watching it through the window, Ray breathes a complex look.

(The level of the power crash has reached five, which must have been a jump in power. I can hardly demonstrate its power when dealing with goblins.)

　With that in mind, Seto could have been pleased to have acquired powerful skills.
　The reason why he looked so complicated was because Seto had mastered the level of power crash.
　Ray, who is using a similar skill called Power Slash, is still completely... and he's not quite at his disposal.

"Goblin?" said he, "is it normal for Setto to attack me. as was the case last time."

　Elena muttered out of the carriage window, watching Seto rampage.

"Wait, Elena," Can you stop talking about Goblin? It reminds me of yesterday's incident."

　You must have remembered the taste of the goblin meat you had last night. Marina looks disgusted over her tea.
　Marina had experience as an adventurer, but she had been a guildmaster for a long time and probably never had the opportunity to eat goblin meat.
　That's why it was badly damaged.

"Vihela, when she comes to herself, will you eat some goblin meat?"

　Marina's gaze was directed at the viola lying on the sofa.
　The state of things that have not changed since yesterday can only be seen from the sidelines as if they were sleeping.

"Well, yes," It's a little unfair for us to eat alone. and we must have Vihela eat it, too.

　Elena smiles and says so, and Ray joins the conversation between Elena and Marina as she watches Seto rampage outside.

"Then we must prepare more exciting goblin meat,"

　It's Ray's spite to describe him as stimulating, not delicious here.
　However, both Elena and Marina agree with Ray's words with a beautiful smile.
　From the sidelines, you'd only see two beautiful women smiling gracefully.
　Not very much, but when a sleeping Vihela wakes up, he does not seem to be thinking of mischief that would normally be a little less stylish.
　The reason we can talk about it is because everyone here believes Vihela will regain consciousness.
　In dungeon, you're going to challenge Rank S monsters, but no one is afraid.
　Maybe it's because I believe in my own power, and I believe in my friends' power.
　Ray, Elena, Marina, Arra, Elk, Min. And Seto and Yero.
　Generally speaking, it is very rare that we have such a strong army.
　... In this case, it's amazing that Ray's connections have been able to make up such a great military force.

"Silver lion? You said that slashing and magic have little effect, and how to break through it and damage your opponent. and, to be honest, Vihela is the most reliable in dealing with these enemies."

　Vihela's skill of immersion, whether in armor, leather, or fur, is to directly impact the opponent's body.
　If you're going to fight against an enemy called the Silver Lion in a few days' time, it's definitely a skill you can rely on.
　However, Vihela, who can use the magic hand now, is unconscious.
　It's only in order to save Vihela's consciousness that she's heading for a dungeon.

"Elk's axe of the god of thunder is powerful in one blow. I can only use Mirage as a limp, but it has dragon language magic. Besides, Arla is quite a force of one blow."

　As Elena confirms, Ray nods and continues.

"The spear of twilight may be of little effect to me, but I have the ability to get it back to hand, so I can keep it in check." The death size also has a power slash, so you can expect it. And Seto, too."

　A magic item called a bracelet of strength and physical ability as a glyphon. Furthermore, the level of power crash was raised by absorbing the magical stones of the Oak Leader.
　Then, it would be the strongest blow of Seto in the sense that it was supposed to fall straight from the high altitude and use its speed to deliver a blow against a single opponent, but this time it was a dungeon, so you can't use it.
　But it will still deliver a reliable blow.

"I wonder if I'm going to... basically devote myself to supporting him. Bows seem to have little effect. Or the soil made by spirit magic... No, the bottom layer of the dungeon wasn't soil. Can you do a stroke of a stone spear?"
"What do you think?" It seems to be effective, though."

　That's what Marina says.
　Is there any effect from the stone or earth created by the magic of spirits on the silver lion? That was unexpected to Ray.
　However, I have the feeling that there might be some kind of effect, but it's only by intuition.
　Listening to such a conversation between Ray and Marina, Elena opens her mouth over a cup of tea.

"Should I have brought some more people?"

　But he immediately shakes his head denying his opinion.

"No, as long as you're dealing with Rank S monsters, a certain level of competence is essential. Besides, if you hire someone who has nothing to do with it, you will naturally need to be paid."

　The person you invite will also fight against Rank S monsters, so naturally they will demand a reasonable reward.
　Of course, they may be asked for the most expensive magical stones of all materials, and they may want the heart they absolutely need.
　Ray would have been very welcome if he could only accept it with money, but if he had the ability to count against Rank S monsters, he wouldn't be particularly worried about money.
　That's because you can make money easily even if you do your own business.
　What they want is probably the material of Rank S Monster.
　Failure to do so could lead to another battle over materials after defeating the silver lion.

(Can't you pull him in so easily?)

　Clearly, it would be devastating given the peer-to-peer struggle between those who can fight against Rank S monsters.

"Well, and too many people make it harder to move when fighting."

　Ray and Marina nod to Elena's words.
　Originally trying to fight the Silver Lion, this member has a lot of avant‐garde.
　Ray understood that no more avant-garde was needed, even though he was a member of the avant-garde team.

(However, there is also a problem of ability to add a new rear guard.)

　Since attacking the silver lion with a bow had little effect, what the rear guard needed was a wizard.
　Of course, the fur of a silver lion has a high level of magic defense against magic, but it is possible to assist with anything other than attack.
　Ray often meets a variety of wizards, but the adventurer as a whole has very few wizards.
　There are more wizards than in other cities and villages, because Gilm is a place where many adventurers gather.

"That's why, with the help of Mr. Grimm, the Silver Lion can easily be knocked down."

　Marina says, "No, I'm not supposed to."
　To humans... exactly Grimm friendly to Ray and his surroundings, but undead monsters... are undoubtedly powerful beings called Rich Road.
　People are originally human, but their principles of behavior and ethics are very different from those of humans.
　It's fair to say that just to help Vichela regain consciousness is a big act.
　I guess that's because of Ray's presence.

"It's a trial, isn't it?"Elena's murmur echoed through the carriage.





"Silver lion? ... I've heard that he's a tough opponent, but I never thought I'd have to fight."

　Elk muttered in the coachman's seat near the carriage where the Lays were riding.
　You must have heard the voice. Min replies from the carriage.

"But may Rodos wake up because of the Silver Lion?"
"Oh,"

　Since Rodos went unconscious, he's been trying hard to regain his consciousness.
　However, even if he relied on magic items and skilled recuperation magicians, Rodos never regained consciousness.


　After nearly a year of doing so, Elk and Min often wondered...
　At that time, Marina suggested the matter of the Silver Lion.
　Elk honestly doubted Marina's sanity when he heard that she was going to rely on a powerful monster like Rich Road, which could be comparable to a dragon species.
　But it was true that there was nothing else left to do, and they decided to accept Marina's offer as a last resort.

"How is Rodos?"

　There will be no particular change in the carriage.
　Even so, Elk asks Min.

"As usual,"

　When Min hears Elk's voice in the carriage, he turns to Rodos, who is lying down, and replies.
　There is Rodos, whose muscles have weakened considerably compared to before.
　However, the muscles are not weakened compared to those who are normally unconscious.
　It was due to the effects of magic items purchased by Elk and Min.
　It was a very expensive magic item, but it was available for Elk, a notorious Rank A adventurer.
　The magic item is much thinner than before, but still slower than usual.
　Min pats his son on the cheek.

"I see,"

　When Elk nods back to Min's words, he again concentrates on manipulating the carriage.
　But the horse pulling this carriage was very expensive and intelligent.
　There is no need for Elk to give instructions, rather than to follow Elena's carriage forward.
　Monsters attack only the goblins who don't understand Seto's strength, but the goblins were rightly killed by Seto.
　We really don't have anything to do now until we get to the dungeon.

(No, if you arrive at the dungeon, do you have anything more to do?)

　If possible, I'd like to challenge the Silver Lion when I arrive at the dungeon.
　But it was also true that before that we had to do a lot of things.
　First of all, we will take up a room at the inn as a base.
　Of course, the Elks don't have to go through the dungeon honestly because once they enter the dungeon, Grimm directly transfers them to the bottom.
　Still, it was imperative to keep a hotel in case something happened.
　Depending on the time you arrive over there, you may stay overnight and challenge the dungeon the next morning.
　Other than that, there are things like keeping a carriage and taking care of a horse.
　Elena and Elk's carriage, and the horse towing the carriage, are so precious that they are at risk of being stolen unless it is a high-end inn with strict security.
　Worst of all, the carriage could be housed in Ray's mistling, but the horse could not be housed in the mistling.
　In addition, as long as Marina, the guildmaster, challenges the dungeon, she needs to show up at the branch office.
　Consumables have already been purchased in guillem, so there is no need to purchase them.
　With that in mind, Elk kept driving.
