1714 Episode 1714



The village is enveloped in flames.
 Using fire in the woods upstairs of a dungeon is tantamount to suicide.
 However, unlike the surrounding woods, the area was heavily cut down and the ground was bare.
 And they use trees that would have grown there before, and they are lined up with simple huts.
 How many goblins suddenly found their villages burned?
 Perhaps most of them were burned to death without realizing anything.
 Luckily... no, seeing the village they lived in on fire, realizing that they could not escape their fate to be burned to death, in this case, some goblins were running about in a frenzy.
 But everything in the hut is on fire and there is no place to escape.
 Even the goblins, who try to get out of the village, are paralyzed by attacks of arrows and stones flying out of nowhere, and are eventually burned to death.
 At the sight of the burning village, Lerieu was dumbfounded and looked at Ray, the boy next to her.
 Rellieu is also a notorious Rank A adventurer, but his true character is strictly a warrior.
 You can use skills, but even with such a reality, you can hardly see the magic of fire that burns a village even though it is small.
 Realizing that he was trying to escape from the village, he threw stones to kill the goblin, and then asked Ray again.

"Oh, hey! Are you sure you're all right? It's a bit cool if you burn us to death on the trees around you."
"Really? If this flame spreads, it will make the second floor of the dungeon clear and easy to see where the stairs leading to the third floor are. But it's a bit disappointing to see those trees burn."
"Hey, man. Are you sure you're... all right?"

 Ray nods to Rellieu, looking suspiciously at him, throwing a spear out of the mistling -- a spear that is not a twilight spear, but a scrap of iron.

"Calm down. Marina's Spiritual Magic keeps you in control. Don't worry, it won't spread."

 As he spoke, Ray turned his eyes to the village of Goblin.
 If you look closely, a thin membrane of water covers the settlement.
 The membrane of water is quite thin, and any stones, spears, or arrows that the lays shoot through easily.
 But even that much water could have prevented the spread of the flames burning the Goblin settlements.
 ...and under normal circumstances, that much water could easily evaporate.
 But what covers the village of Goblin is not just water, but water produced by the magic of the Marina spirit.
 If everything burning the Goblin settlement was a flame created by Ray's magic, only ordinary flames were spreading.
 This is probably the result of Ray's adjustments when he uses magic, thanks to Ray's sensual magical composition.
 Ray's reputation... of course he knows he has the ability to create a tornado of flames and burn the army itself.
 As a notorious adventurer, it's only natural to gather information about a new notorious person born from a similar base.
 Regardless of the large-scale destruction, Rellie looks at Ray with admiration, perhaps because she didn't think she could make some minor adjustments.
 I had found the goblin, with such glances, trying to escape from the burning settlement, and had kept it stoned.
 Ray looks up at the sky, noticing his gaze.
 There, Seto flaps his wings... as if he were the ruler of the sky.
 This forest is full of bird monsters like yellowbirds and greimbos, but so far no one has launched an attack on the flying Seto.
 Is it because you understand Seto's strength, or is it just a coincidence?
 At any rate, Seto, from the sky, showed various skills like Wind Arrow, Ice Arrow, Earth Arrow, and so on the ground.
 ...it was the goblins who were under attack as a matter of course.
 The few surviving goblins in this village were badly damaged by arrows falling from above.

"It's comfortable not to have to help the captive,"

 muttered Ray, throwing his spear again.
 Reilly agreed with Ray's words from the bottom of his heart.
 If this Goblin settlement was outside the dungeon... or if the dungeon was open to adventurers, there was a possibility that a woman was in captivity.
 But this is in the dungeon.
 It's also supposed to be the first time the Reys have entered.
 ...maybe some of them got into the dungeon before the Reyes, but I was sure they wouldn't be caught by the Goblin.
 However, Ray's judgment was that Sett had not found any trace of a person, so there would be no need to worry about it.
 For that reason, this village of goblin is not so difficult if it is to destroy.
 Instead, it is difficult to recover the testimonial sites and magical stones of Goblin because the communities burned it.
 For Ray and others, the Goblin magic stone is not something they want to go to.
 There was no particular problem, as the effort to extract the magical stones was greater.
 But for Ray, having access to large quantities of goblin meat may have been a pretty good opportunity to help him with his research on how to eat goblin meat deliciously.

(No, if you're just going to collect the goblin meat, that's all right if you ask a guillem and a suitable adventurer. You don't have to go out of your way to take it.)

 Looking at the village of Goblin, where the fire is coming under control, Ray throws his spear at the Goblin, who is once again engulfed in the fire and running away.
 A spear that flew so fast, if not so lightly, that it smashed the head of a goblin... ...and stuck diagonally into the ground, penetrating the body of a clubbed goblin behind it.
 However, the goblin had already died instantly when it was pierced through its torso.
 Then time goes by... and within a few minutes or so, judging that the goblins are now wiped out, the Marina Spiritual Magic extinguishes the still burning fire.

"I wonder how many other Goblin settlements there are, as well as Cobold, if they were oak settlements."

 Ray muttered as he entered the burning village.
 Oak meat is the meat Ray eats on a daily basis.
 As such, Ray's honest intention was to consume as much meat as possible.
 The Cobold had determined that the same response as the goblins would be acceptable.

(Oh, but if there's a rare species or a superior species... Well, I guess there's a subtle one. If you could, I'd be saved.)

 Even if it's a goblin magical stone, rare or superior species have a good chance of acquiring skills.
 That being the case, of course, it would be great for Ray... and for Set.
 "However, it is called ""rare"" species because it is not so easily born, let alone the superior species."

"Oak... ...if you burn down the oak village like this, you'll smell something that stimulates your appetite."
"Really? It might be like that at first, but I think it'll end up with a burning smell."

 As Rellie and Ray walk in conversation, they soon gather together people scattered elsewhere.

"Ray, what are you going to do now?"
"I don't know what to do. If there are other similar settlements, I feel like I'm going to destroy them. It's not just going to be explored today, but I don't think it's going to be over today. Then I'd like to avoid unexpected encounters with goblins as much as possible. ... Well, if we kill all goblins, the core of the dungeon will call them again."

 There is no doubt that goblins are weak but troublesome monsters when they fight.
 Maybe the core of the dungeon knows that, but the goblin is a monster that frequently appears in the dungeon.
 It's a great monster to push by numbers.
 ...however, if he knew that he was strong, he would run away immediately.

"Even the core of a dungeon can't summon a large number of goblins right away. That's all right if we don't come out until we search this second floor and from the second floor."

 Ray nods back to Lerieu's words.
 Indeed, Lerrew's words are correct.
 The Rays completely capture this second floor...no need to go to all places, get rare materials, knock down all monsters, etc.
 Ray doesn't want to say that he wants to wipe out all the monsters in this forest as long as the magical stones of the unknown monsters are available... but he still wants to defeat all the monsters of all kinds.
 But I can't be honest with you unless you teach Lerieu and Beune about the art of the beast.
 However...

"If possible, I should like to collect the magical stones of unknown monsters."

 I won't forget to say so.It is well known that Ray has a hobby of collecting magical stones, even though it is a secret about the art of the beast.
 Ray muttered, thinking that Rellie, who was collecting information about Ray, would of course know about it.

"It would be all right if it were one or two of them said.

 As expected, Ray told me that it would be no problem to fight monsters.
 However, Ray was bothered by the word "two of them" coming out of Relieu's mouth.
 In order for Death Size and Seto to master their skills, one magical stone each...a total of two will be required.
 Because of this, Ray often explains to people that he has a hobby of collecting magical stones, and that he gets two magical stones for ornamental and preservation purposes... but from what he says, I think he even knows about it.

(It's likely that you think too much.)

 Ray thinks like that while looking at Rerew, suddenly Seto, who was flying in the sky, comes down to the ground.
 On Seto's side, there was a yellow figure, but it was hard to keep up with Seto's speed and he had been left in the air.

"Slurrurling.

 The cet's cry included a warning that the enemy was approaching.
 As soon as they hear the voice, the Rays immediately go into battle.
 and emerging from the nearby bushes...

"Puppy!"

 He was a pig.
 ...or, to be exact, it's appropriate to call it the middle between boar and pig.
 However, the back of a boar or pig does not usually have wings like a bird.
 Besides, is the monster as large as Ray's knee?
 To all appearances, it seems like a monster's child.

"What is it, little boy?"

 Say so, and Rellie puts down the point of his long sword... but soon finds something unusual.
 That's because I was the only one who was ready to fight.

"Hey?"

 Lerieu asks suspiciously, but Lerie and others, who know Seto's ability to sense danger, never let their guard down, even if the monster in front of them is a child.

"Boo... Boogie".

 A monster who looks up with moist eyes.
 Lerieu turns to Rey and her friends again, as if they were lovely at first glance.

"Hey, what the hell...?!?"

 As soon as he looks away from the monster, Lerieu wields a long sword reflexively.
 Only the notorious Rank A adventurer reacts immediately to the carnage he feels.
 So Rellieu's long sword... was perceived by the fangs of a monster as big as Seto.
