1918 the 1918th episode



"What..."

 The adventurer with the big sword could only utter a dumb cry at the unexpected murder of his struggling Cobold.
 Being a heavy weapon, a great sword, what was it that I was struggling with against a lightweight Cobold?
 It was such a simple ending that I wanted to say so easily.
 The adventurer's misfortune was that the Cobold was unarmed and bare-handed... exactly with the claws of his fingers.
 Under normal circumstances, Kobolt also carries weapons such as long swords, daggers and spears.
 However, the Cobolts, who fought this time, had no weapons and thus were able to maximize their lightness as Cobolts.
 Moreover, Cobold's fingernails are usually sharp, but they are not meant to be used as weapons.
 Nevertheless, these cobolt claws were sharp enough and long enough to be used as weapons.
 I never thought I was losing in terms of ability, but in this case I just didn't get along.
 Perhaps that's why he was dumbfounded at how easily he defeated the opponent he had been struggling with.
 While stunned, Ray, accompanied by Seto, approaches the adventurer and calls out.

"Are you all right?"
"Oh? Oh, oh. I'm sorry. I'm saved."

 The stunned adventurer returns to his senses and thanks Ray.
 I don't think I've easily defeated my struggling opponent.
 lack of self-power and jealousy of Ray's overwhelming power
 But I still got help... and given that I had asked for help, I could not have the option of not saying a word of thanks.

"Well, I'm glad you're safe. ... So is this Cobold either rare or superior?"
"No, I'm sorry, but I don't know about that, but I'm sure there's never been a rare or superior species in this uproar. At least that's how I hear it."
"Well, I'm sure it's hard to distinguish the covolts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 Since the head was blown up, we cannot secure a site to prove the defeat.
 Besides, it's not in the man's interest to take it to the magic stone that sells the best of the materials.

(Is it profitable that my life was saved?)

 The man tried to say something to Ray, but he thought so and nodded back.

"Oh, all right. That's all right. I'm not the one who knocked down this cobolt, so you can get the magic stone."
"It's a relief,"

 Shortly put, Ray immediately pulls out a knife and opens the chest of Cobold's corpse and pulls out a magical stone from his heart.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you so soon, but we're in a hurry, so we're going."
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

 It's right that I asked him that it didn't mean anything in particular, but it just made me feel that way...
 What is Ray in such a hurry?
 Maybe there was something unsavory about it?
 That's what I thought, but... Ray doesn't seem particularly impatient, and that's all he can say.

"Oh, I'm going to build a wall so that Cobold won't come into the guillem a little bit."
"...what? Wall? Alone?"
"Yes. It's not a solid wall, it's a simple earth wall made by magic, and I don't think there's any more Koboldt coming in ... but the number should decrease."
"Can you do that? It's going to be quite big."
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Gruly!"

 Ray, patting Seto on the head, says so easily.
 The adventurer honestly couldn't understand the man in front of him.
 How much power do you have to have to be able to imitate them?

"Oh... I see. No, I understand that it's impossible for me to understand you exactly. ... But what the hell am I going to do? I had to earn a little more from Cobolt."
"Oh, then you can join me in the dismantling of the gigant turtleneck I'm recruiting at the guild. If you build a wall here, naturally the gigant turtleneck will go to the guy who is dismantling the gigant turtleneck, so you can fight as much as you like. Besides, I'll serve you a little bit of gigant turtleneck."

 That's all Ray says, and he walks away with Sett.
 The adventurer still seems to want to tell Ray something, but eventually he gives up and goes to find another Cobolt, perhaps because Ray doesn't seem to care about it.

"...well, this magical stone...what do you think?"

 Ray asks Sett, picking up the cobold magic stone he had just wiped off the mistling.
 In response to Ray's question, Seto purges, saying, "You'll find out if you eat it."

"Well... then, you know,"

 As if to feed him candy, Ray threw his magic stone into Seto's stick.
 a swallowing set
 But... there's no announcement in your brain like when you're learning skills or upgrading skills.

"...I'm afraid you didn't master the skills. So, was that covolt not a rare or superior species, but a normal covolt? It was strangely strong for that."

 His strength is nothing more than that of an adventurer with a big sword.
 But there was no doubt that it was stronger than the usual cobolt.

"Is it possible to think about it because of my long experience as a Cobold? Like a veteran.

 That's probably the case, if you take it easy.
 Experience is, in a sense, more important than physical strength and muscle strength in a battle.
 However, there were things that I didn't understand again.
 Specifically, the claws that had grown from the cobold fingers were clearly longer and sharper than the usual cobold.

"The monsters that come into the guillem are getting stronger... or something?"
"Guru...?"

 In response to Ray's muttering, he quipped, "Is that's right.
 Comforting with Seto's lying, loveliness, Ray realizes that there is no point in thinking about Cobold.
 In the first place, I can't say for sure that if we created the mud wall that we were going to do now, we would never get any more covolts into the guillem, but the number would definitely decrease.
 ...instead, all the cobolts would turn towards the dismantling of the gigant turtles outside the guillem.

"Anyway, if we build a mud wall, there will be more and more of us who will destroy the gigant turtles, judging that we can't earn any money. So... anyway, we'll go to a place connected to the outside."
"Gruly!"

 At Ray's words, Seto shrieks sharply, puts Ray on his back, and then runs.When Seto starts running, the surrounding scenery drains surprisingly.
 As a matter of course, Seto can't run as hard as he can in the city.
 If they did so, those walking around would certainly be badly injured by hitting a set.
 Alternatively, there is a high possibility of destroying buildings throughout the city instead of creating injured people.
 But here Seto can run to his heart's content without having to worry about it.
 That said, he wasn't so frustrated because he was running around freely in the disassembling of the gigant turtleneck.
 So, in a real blink, Seto arrives at the front line of the extension, where Gillum and the outside are connected.
 Along the way, some adventurers were seen fighting against Cobold, some of whom were so quick that they were completely oblivious to Ray and Sett's presence.

"Thank you, Set,"
"Gruly!"

 At Ray's words, Seto shrieks briefly.
 As he caresses her, Ray looks around again, but there is no Cobold there.

"Well, I don't know what's going on with this. I've always thought that when I come here, a flock of Kobolts will attack me. ... I hope I don't have any trouble."

 Is this the time when the Kobolt was temporarily cut off from entering the guillem, or is it simply the end of the day?
 I didn't know what was going on in that area, but I'm sure it was lucky for Ray anyway.
 Regardless of whether it's rare or superior, the usual Cobboldt is of little benefit to Ray.
 Moreover, since the slum dwellers could not get so close to such a place, the body of Cobold who had been killed here could have been undead.
 With that in mind, Ray must have been lucky not to have fought here.

"Well, now that I've come this far, I'll give you a moment's warning before any unnecessary interference. ... Set, while I'm concentrating, I'll ask you to be vigilant."
"Gruly!"

 Watching Seto cry, "Leave it to me!" Ray pulls the death-size out of the mistling.
 Then, check the effective range of the skill of topographical manipulation that you are going to use, and stick a stone hammer into the ground while concentrating on the death size you have.

"Topographic Manipulation"

 All Ray said was that short word.
 However, that alone invokes the skill and places the ground 70 meters in radius around Ray under Ray's control.
 The first to be created was a 150 cm tall mud wall.
 Then the outside of the mud wall sinks 150 cm.
 Under current topographical manipulation, only 150 cm of mud walls can be built.
 However, by sinking 150 cm on the other side of the mud wall, there was a simulated but three meter long mud wall.

"... well, this is what it is. It's just that we need to do quite a few times."

 The area connected to the outside is quite large.
 Therefore, in order to completely block the outside and inside with the mud wall, it was necessary to use topographical manipulation for a reasonable number of times.

"Slurrurling.

 Just as Ray was about to move to build the next mud wall, Seto's roar was heard.
 I turned my eyes to Seth and saw him leaping over the mud wall.
 It's not that the enemy came out, it's that they're simply jumping over the mud wall in front of them.

"Ah... not too much,"

 It's hard to jump over or overcome Cobold, but for Seto, this kind of barrier is probably not a problem at all. It seems like a plaything.
 Ray was a little confused about what to say about Seto's appearance, but he didn't break the mud wall, and he seemed to be watching the people around him, so he just said that to Seto.

"Grull!"

 At Ray's call, Seto leaps again over the mud wall, crying joyfully.
 Ray didn't know what was interesting, but there's no doubt that Seto has a strong interest in jumping the mud wall.
 Ray leaves such a set on the spot and heads a little further away... towards a new geographical manipulation area.

"Terrain manipulation!"

 a rebirth of earth walls
 They repeat it one after another, and the mud walls connect.

(The connection...is it okay to hold it together using topographical manipulation? But if you want to make sure, you can call a marina and have it frozen with spirit magic.)

 I think so, looking at the 150cm mud wall in front of me.
 Given the magical power of Marina's spirit, it was undoubtedly very helpful for Ray to be able to compensate for places where his abilities did not work.
 ...it would be outrageous to build such a wall in a matter of several tens of minutes, but the person who did it didn't seem particularly concerned about it.
 Few people have similar powers around them... or perhaps not.
 Anyway, satisfied with the completion of the 150 cm mud wall from Gilm's side and 3 m from the outside, Ray screams at Seto, who is still flying over the mud wall.

"Seto! The mud wall is ready. Let's go back to the guillem! We need to find the marina and have it done!"
"Gururururling!

 What was interesting was that Seto, who was jumping up and down the mud wall, stopped playing with Ray's words.
