The night of the demolition of Galangiga, Kelpy and Argos Bear... Ray was coming along with Elena, Marina and Vihela to a forest far from the goltz.
　Yero is absent because he sleeps in bed with Bune.
　Vichela seemed to have trained her to fight properly when she was dismantling the galangiga, and as soon as she returned to her room after dinner, she went down to bed hugging Yero.
　No, if you think your eyes were already closing in the middle of a meal, it would be proof of how hard Vihela trained.
　It was convenient for Ray, though, as he could not have known the art of the beast to Beune.
　To be precise, since it was dismantled today, the purpose was to exhaust Bune by the judgment that the absorption of the magical stones would take place tonight.
　and, as it may be, Vihela had trained Bune... in the present circumstances.

"Come to think of it, what's wrong with you, Relieu? I didn't watch it."

　The autumn moon... that, too, Vichela asks, shining in the twinkling moonlight in the cloudless night sky.

"Relieu went out to the bar. He told me a place to serve delicious drinks from. He seemed to have met me while I was buying souvenirs.
"Hmmm. Relieu would be all right."

　They go to a bar where they are taught by strangers and are charged an exorbitant price or sold off with sleeping pills.
　Normally I would have to worry a little bit about it, but... at the time that the person I was worried about was Relieu, no one here felt the need to worry.
　If you impersonate a notorious Rank A adventurer like that, the fool will only regret it.
　In the worst case, Goltz could have had a bloody rain, but in such a case, Ray's honest impression is that he wants to regret his foolish behavior.


"Well, that's why you don't have to worry about Relieu and Bune, so it's the magic you've been waiting for."
"Gururururling!

　Seth's cry of joy echoes on the moonlit night.
　...even though nocturnal animals, birds, and monsters were frightened to escape from the scene when they heard the screams...for the time being, the Lays don't care.
　And Ray took out three magical stones.
　Two Kelpees and one Galangiga.
　As for the Argos Bear that Sett knocked down, it no longer exists because Sett has already used it to master Level 2 of Earth Arrow.

"Today's favorite is Galangiga's magic stone, so first of all, Kelpy."

　In front of Elena's eyes, Ray throws a magical stone at Sett.
　A set that is chewed and swallowed with a stick.

[Seto has mastered the skills of Ice Arrow Lv.4]

　An announcement message plays into Ray and Sett's mind.

"That's too bad! I mean, I'm going to get ice arrow with Kelpy? I was expecting the level of water polo to go up."
"Guru..."

　Will Seto agree with Ray's words? He wails regretfully.
　Of course, I'm not disappointed that Iced Arrow's level has risen to 4.
　Ice Arrow is originally a skill of flying an ice arrow -- the expression ice column is more accurate.
　That's why it's definitely high in terms.
　But... you could still expect to see how much the water polo, which has been greatly strengthened at level five, will be strengthened at level six.
　Ray feels sorry about it, but he quickly changes his mind.
　The current situation where the level of Ice Arrow is four means that if the level of Ice Arrow goes up again, it will be five, and it will be dramatically strengthened.

"Seto, try iced arrow."
"Slurrurling.

　At Ray's words, Seto screams high and invokes an iced arrow.
　Then, a total of 20 ice arrows appeared behind Seto.
　Considering that there were 15 arrows in Level 3, I guess it means that as the level goes up, the number of ice arrows increases by five.

"Then... Set, Earth Arrow,"
"Glu? Glu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu!"

　Ten earth arrows are produced, as expected.
　I had five in level one, so I had ten in level two.
　When you think of the other Arrow skills, you'll probably feel like 15 at Level 3, 20 at Level 4, etc.

"All right. Thank you. You can shoot whatever you want."
"Grull!"

　Earth Arrow flies in the wrong direction, just as it did in Rey's words.
　As he sees it off... Ray suddenly wonders if he can't hit anyone, can he?

"Isn't there any use for both Ice Arrow and Earth Arrow?"

　I guess Elena and Vihela agree with Marina's words as she watched a series of conversations. I'll nod.

"Well, I don't deny it, either. But don't you think Kelpy is water rather than ice, let alone Earth Arrow?"
"Well, yes, if you say so... it's not as I imagined it would be, rather than the firebreath being strengthened with Kelpy's magic stone."
"...that's what happened, and it'

　Basically, the skills that can be acquired by magic are often those related to the monster.
　The reason why I can't say it's true is because I've mastered skills that have nothing to do with them.
　However, in such a case, it is highly likely that it was simply unknown, but it was actually a skill suitable for the monster...
　Still, it was far from an unexpected opinion for Ray that he could master firebraces with Kelpy's magic stone.

"For the time being, if that happens... maybe the Kelpee was a rare species or something... but it's my turn. Now, can I master the skills, can't I, and if I can, what skills do I have?"

　mutter, throw the magic stone looking forward to it, and cut it off in death size.

【Death size: Acquired Corrosion Lv.5】

　An announcement message runs through my mind.
　It's playing, but...

"Well... what? What? Why? Isn't it strange in terms of attributes?"
"What's wrong with you? You seem to have mastered a very strange skill."

　Suspicious of Ray's appearance, Elena asks mysteriously.

"Strange? Hmm, strange? What I learned is the skill of corroding the opponent's metal equipment. ... Why corroded with Kelpy's magic stone?"
"Corrosion? Is it so when it comes to water attributes?"
"Well, I think it's water rather than fire or wind. But soil may be more appropriate for corrosion."

　Everyone who listened to Marina's words... even Seto would bend his head.
　It's not so funny to associate corrosion with water or soil.If that's the case, wouldn't it be strange that Kelpy's magic stone could increase the level of corrosion?

"It's kind of hard to find out. Now that you're at level five, you're definitely getting a lot more powerful."
"Why don't you attack that rock first? If it's more powerful to corrode metal equipment, isn't it possible to corrode it?"
"What kind of situation is the rock corroding?"

　You don't have to hesitate to give it a try, thinking so.
　As long as it's a death size, the blade won't be damaged if the rock is destroyed.
　Move to the front of the rock with the death size in hand...

"Corrosion"

　activate one's skill and gently shake against a rock
　...if you really do it, it's only natural that even rocks can be cut off easily, with Death Size and Ray's skill.
　Then, when the blade touched the rock lightly, the death size was pulled back...

"Ugh!"

　Ray's mouth gave a cry of surprise when he saw the rock melting.

"I can't believe that corrosion really melts rocks... Ning, isn't this a skill name like melting, not corrosion?"

　Marina was more surprised to see Ray say so, telling her to try at the rock.

"I can't believe it's going to corrode rocks... I'll tell you. How about trees?"

　The next thing Marina looked at was a fallen tree nearby.
　Follow Marina's instructions and approach the fallen tree.
　When it was a rock, it was a half‐truthful state, but in fact it had the effect of corrosion on the rock.
　Then Ray could think that trees could be effective.
　There was also a point where Ray seemed to use many things more effectively on trees than on rocks.
　If it's wood, it's because many people use clubs as weapons.
　Then, when the blade touches the fallen tree again using corrosion skills... as Ray expected, the fallen tree will corrode.

"Isn't this... a pretty strong skill?"

　Ray mutters, looking at the melted fallen tree.
　Until now, corrosion skills have only worked for metals.
　Moreover, it is overwhelmingly faster and more powerful to attack with a normal death size than to use corrosion skills to destroy enemy weapons.
　Moreover, there was the drawback that corrosion would render the weapon useless.
　That's why I had little chance to use corrosion while somehow reaching level four...If there is any effect other than metal, the story is different.

(It is likely that it will work well not on the other person's weapons, but on the body, and so on. Then... corrosion skills, you've disguised themselves.)

　If you don't actually use it, it's highly likely that you won't know how easy it is to use in actual warfare, but it's definitely a skill that you can expect.
　I guess Ray's prediction was the same for the others who saw it.
　He looked at the fallen tree with an admiring expression on his face.

"The question afterwards is, how useful will it be in actual warfare?"

　Ray nods convincingly to Elena's words.
　When you try it this way, it looks quite useful, but it's not very useful when you try it in action.
　That's definitely a possibility.

"Well, I'll try that the next time I fight a monster or something. ... Now, as for corrosion, this is all right, next."

　So I put the death size in the mistling, and the next thing I took out was the magical stone of Galangiga.
　Yes, that's the biggest reason why I went out of my way to leave the Goltz at night today. That's like the main dish.

"Gruly!"

　At Ray's words, Seto purrs happily.
　I give this magical stone to Seto because he understands what Ray said.
　The biggest expectation is the magic eye of shock, but Galangiga also had a number of powerful skills, including poison, water cutters, and spines growing out of her body.
　So what happens if the skill is acquired by death size?
　It's a lie that you don't mind it.

(Don't worry about corrosion water cutters, or it would be interesting to have a death-size blade or handle to grow spines whenever you want.)

　I think so, but I understand that the magic eye of shock is more powerful than those skills in the battle against Galangiga.
　In the case of Galangiga, there was an activation process in which the third eye on the forehead was opened, so it was possible to determine the timing of activation to some extent.
　But the magic eye of Seto's shock doesn't require such a process... at least at a level one.
　And if you don't have that process because it's level one, from your experience up until now, you can expect your skills to be strengthened as they are until level five.
　The only thing that worries Ray is... that he might have a third eye on his forehead, like Gallangiga, but it's probably not... a wishful observation. And...

[Seto has mastered the skill of Shock Magic Eye Lv.2]

　I hear such an announcement message in my mind.
　Then I tried the magic eye of shock... fortunately, the third eye never opened, and Ray secretly breathed out a sigh of relief when he found out that his skills had been purely enhanced as he had expected.
