"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..."

　Only the sound of such heavy breathing echoed through the room.
　Ray, who has released the flaming Emperor's red armor, and Elena, who is also holding the Mirage from a distance, have a hard time breathing because of her extreme magical powers.
　Marina and Min were looking at the Silver Lion, who was lying on the floor speechless.
　A death battle. This was the very battle to call it, and it was the first time in her life for Min, who had fought against many powerful enemies as a Rank A party, and Marina, who had fought so many battles in her long adventurous life.
　Still, we beat Rank S Monster.
　As soon as I recognized it, I was filled with joy... even explosive joy.
　This may bring Vihela and Rodos back to consciousness.
　It must be true that I had such a feeling.

"Ah..."

　Finally, when his breathing calms down, Ray looks around him, leaning against the body of a silver lion he had just knocked down.
　The silver body is behind us.
　The silver lion's body, which is six meters long, feels like a wall to Ray, sitting on the floor and pressing his back.
　With a slight glance, the next thing I saw was the face of a silver lion.
　A death-size handle extends from the mouth and a twilight spear stalk extends from the eyeball.
　That huge face is still alive. That's what Ray thought.
　But tears of blood were shed from the eyes of the twilight spear, and from the other safe eye, the tongue was falling from the mouth to the floor.
　It would be a clear fact that the Silver Lion is dead.

"It hurts!"

　Ray was convinced only by his head that the Silver Lion had died, but he must have lost his concentration.
　At the same time, the whole body complains of pain.
　He also had several scars on his face and head, and blood from his forehead flowed to his right eye, turning his vision red.

"Grull".

　Worried about Ray's pain, Seto asks him if he's OK, but he's as good as Ray... No, compared to Ray in Dragon Robes, he has more cuts on his body than Ray.
　The final act of the Silver Lion, which can be said to be a tailed boundary.
　It's an injury he sustained when he ran into it to help Ray.
　Even though she has more wounds and more blood than Ray, Seto cries and looks at Ray anxiously.

"It's all right," So I was able to defeat the Silver Lion. ...but honestly, I've never been so injured in battle."

　Ray has experienced numerous battles.
　That's not the density of battle compared to ordinary adventurers.
　Still, Ray has rarely been injured in previous battles.
　The biggest injury was the battle against immovable noise, a Rank S adventurer who fought in the civil war of the Westian Empire.

(Rank S adventurer, Rank S monster... if Noise was really fighting me back then, would he have been as injured as he is now? No, this time, with the help of a lot of people, it's a victory. I wonder what would have happened if I had really fought.)

　Ray looks at the Silver Lion with the pain of the wound, but his idea is slightly different.
　Even though they are lumped together in the form of rank S, they are lumped together in the form of rank S.
　It's the same for both adventurers and monsters, with the weakest of Rank S likely to win, and the powerful Rank S monsters can't win even if there are 100 Rank A adventurers.
　Even if it's the same Rank S Monster, there's just that much difference.
　Moreover, the Silver Lion was one of the best defenders in Rank S monsters with his hair, so it was hard to beat him.
　In particular, Ray's best offensive methods, such as slashing and stabbing, were mostly rendered impotent, so he was also a very incompatible opponent.
　It was fortunate for the Rays that they were still good defenders and not very aggressive. ...and yet Ray is injured for the first time since he came to Elgin.

"Are you all right, Ray?"
"Ray, are you all right?"

　Elena and Marina run up to Ray, leaning against the body of the Silver Lion.
　And seeing Ray's face badly swollen and bleeding from several places and one eye covered with blood, he hurried out of the room.
　I picked up the portion that was placed there...

"Elena? Mali... Guildmaster?"

　Such a call was made suddenly.
　Of course Elena understood that this was a dungeon, but now she must have been in a hurry to treat Ray as soon as possible, so she didn't notice the main voice.
　I turned my eyes to the voice, and it was one of Johanna's companions.

"Why here?"
"No, I have come here to see what has become of the Silver Lion's voice, which I have heard so far."

　To Marina's words, the man answers so briefly.
　To be honest, I definitely didn't want to get anywhere where there might be a Rank S monster.
　But still, judging that if the Silver Lion had been overthrown, it would be better to take Vihela and Rodos with him, the man came to see what was going on.
　Elena and Marina breathe a little relief at the... and at the understanding of Johanna's feelings, which they would have told the man.
　At the same time, looking at Ray's bloody appearance, he calms down, nods at each other, and Marina opens her mouth to the man.

"Yes, I've made you worry," But don't worry. I'm done with the Silver Lion."
"Oh!? ...as expected. I thought so when they went out like this. There's a corpse over there. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Captain Ray, indeed."

　I guess it was because of the great surprise.
　Noticing that he was talking about Ray as before with the captain, he looked dazedly at the entrance to the room where the Silver Lion would have been.

"But there are a lot of people who got hurt a little injured. We are under treatment, and will you bring us two of Vichela and Rodos in the meantime?"
"What? Oh, yes! I'll bring you right away!"

　Marina's words nod, and the man hurried back to where he came.
　After seeing them off, Elena and Marina return to the room with their highly effective portions in their hands.

"I don't know what to say after coming here to pick up the portion, but if you think about it carefully, why don't you use the portion in Ray's item box?"
"That's how confused we were, isn't it? Anyway, let's go back to Ray. Now that I'm here, I'm sure I'll have to take my portion with me.

　In particular, Marina doesn't care about many things, such as the world tree parts, that are kept outside her room.
　Of course I didn't expect Johanna and others to steal it, but I was afraid that if for some reason there was an adventurer who had come to the bottom of the pile, I would happily take those portions on the floor.

(In that sense, it must have been good to be able to recover the portion immediately after the battle was over.)

　Thinking like that, I go into a room with a silver lion.
　Then, once again, he is dazzled by the size of the silver lion.
　It's clearly different in size than the largest set of us.
　The figure of Ray leaning against the body of such a silver lion can only be said to be small in comparison to the giant body of a silver lion.

(Still... without Ray, it was almost impossible to defeat the Silver Lion. That's true.)

　There is no doubt that their support was an effective force for Elk and Arra to defeat the Silver Lion.
　But... if she could fight the Silver Lion without Ray and Seto and win... Marina would shake her head.
　In fact, it was Ray who took the life of the Silver Lion at the very end.
　He was a silver lion with strong body hair against both magic and physical attacks, but his eyes and mouth were not as strong as hair.
　. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .At any rate, it would be impossible to stick a weapon into the mouth of such a silver lion.
　Elk might have done it, but unfortunately with the axe of the god of thunder it would have burned the inside of the mouth of the silver lion and cut it to pieces.
　It was because it was a huge weapon with a handle length of two meters and a blade length of one meter... and because of the twilight spear that penetrated the eyeball, it was possible to destroy the brain of the Silver Lion.
　Few people have weapons of that length.

(Oh, but what would Elena do?)

　Marina smiles, recalling Mirage's incredible power at the end of the battle.
　If it had been a whip-shaped Mirage blade... and if it had delivered such a powerful blow, Elena might have been able to defeat the Silver Lion.
　Marina looked at Elena next to her for a moment, but now she decides that her treatment comes first anyway.

"Ray, are you all right?"
"Ah... well, it's not as bad a scratch as it looks. No, of course it hurts. It's not like I'm going to die right away, so it's all right."

　His face was red with himself and... and, above all, with the blood of a silver lion.
　It's no wonder that a man who doesn't know anything will faint if he sees Ray now.

"First of all, I'll have to wash the blood off my face, even if I'm going to use a lotion. -- will you take out the running dagger?"
"Oh,"

　I guess Ray's wound isn't as bad as it looks.
　It seems to be true that he can't move at least, so he pulls a running dagger out of the mistling.
　...though I was certainly slightly frowned at that time, as dull pain ran through my body.
　Marina magically applies her magic to a flowing dagger to create water and wipes Ray's face by wetting the cloth Elena takes out.
　Most of the blood that covered Ray's face disappears easily when he wipes it with a wet cloth.
　It may be because it hasn't been long since he knocked down the Silver Lion.
　At the same time, however, wiping the blood may cause the wound to bleed again.
　The wound on the forehead is particularly deep and does not seem to stop bleeding.

"That's a scar from the tusks of a silver lion,"

　Ray muttered deeply, but one wrong step was whether his head had been bitten, or his eyeballs had been gouged into his tusks.
　If you're not good at it... no, you might have suffered a life-threatening wound.

"Not at all... just acting like a bull'said he.

　Whispering, Elena gently wipes the wound and puts on a portion.
　Fortunately, the wound itself is relatively deep, but it disappears without any particular scarring.
　Cheap portions might have left scars, but what Elena used now was a rather high-class, if not a world tree portion.
　Wipe the scar off your face and put a lotion on it to remove the scar.
　Fortunately, most of the scars on the face are those made by the tail of a silver lion and not so deep.
　Elena and Marina breathe a sigh of relief at the absence of a scar on Ray's face.
　The two men's portions will be used for other purposes.
　Arla to Seto, Min to Elk, etc.
　Arra, who is using a lotion on Seto, is also slightly injured, but fortunately, Arra did not join the battle until the second half.
　and thus not so much wounded as the others;
　Of course, it's not that I'm unharmed. Even so, a light application of the lotion has almost healed the wound. 　

"Rolling".

　The second most serious injury after Ray was undoubtedly Seto.
　The larger the body is, the more damage the body has been caused by the attack by the tail of the silver lion.
　Still, the tail attack is basically a whip attack, not a deep wound.
　Seto had such wounds all over his body, but he didn't seem particularly patient.
　Maybe it's because there's a high-ranking monster called Gryphon around here.
　Even in such a situation, it seems comfortable to wear a lotion and heal the wound.
　Seto cried happily...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

　Such shrieks echoed around him.
