"Well, that's all right,"
"Gruly!"

　Say Ray's words in agreement with Seto.
　The sight alone was very heartwarming, but... there was a strange sight of the beheaded body of Snow Cyclops hanging upside down from a tree, and a great deal of blood falling down the trunk of the tree.
　This is a forest some distance from Gillum -- a little bit of Seto flying in the air.
　In such a forest, the bodies of Snow Cyclops hung from trees, especially large, to drain their blood.
　Originally I tried to hang a corpse from a branch, but unfortunately the branch is five meters tall... I don't have a head now, so I'm a little smaller, but I can't support such a giant cyclops.
　As a result, Ray chose not to support Snow Cyclops' corpse with a single branch, but to tie it through a number of branches and hang it along the trunk of the tree to drain the blood.
　The slung Snow Cyclops are well on their way to bleeding, as Ray had hoped.

"But I never expected such a high-ranking monster to appear. ... No, it's a remote guillem, and it's not strange to appear, but it used to be mainly Kobolt."
"Glu? ...Glu!"

　Seto, who was looking around, replied to Ray's words.
　However, Ray didn't know what Seth's answer meant...
　In fact, it sounds like a dead letter.
　However, with the smell of Snow Cyclops blood hanging around, there is no denying the possibility that monsters will be attracted to it.
　It was only natural for Seto to concentrate his attention there.
　Ray also looks at Snow Cyclops, who has nothing more to say and continues to bleed, knowing the reason for Sett's behavior.

(Come to think of it, as long as you don't know where this monster will be made, you should leave it to the guild. That's what the guild staff said. But before that, you need to take out the magic stone.)

　Since Snow Cyclops is the first monster to see, of course the magical stone is Ray... to be exact, for Death Size and Seto, it is food for the art of witchcraft.
　Recently, there have been many things that have prevented us from absorbing magical stones, so this is the first time in a long time that we have absorbed magical stones.
　Just as I thought... Ray remembered yesterday.

"Oh, come to think of it, did Seto absorb the coboldite yesterday? ...I didn't remember any skills after all."
"Glu?"

　Seth chants at Ray, who shakes her head saying nothing.
　As he did so, he looked again at Snow Cyclops' corpse... and exhaled, seeing the blood still running from his neck.
　Even if you're a big man of 5 meters tall, you might have a little too much blood.

"Well, he's a monster, and... could it happen?"

　Of course Ray doesn't know exactly how much blood there is in the monster.
　No, given how many people know the area in detail, I think there's probably no one around.

(Goblin... No, it doesn't make sense to raise it, unless you've got someone who's cultivating a nice meaty, fertile oak area.)

　For more than a dozen minutes... the blood from Snow Cyclops' neck finally stops.

"You were such a bloody monster. ... Well, look. Now, Set. I'll just take out the magic stone. You're the one who absorbs it."
"Glu?"

　I bowed my head to Ray's words.
　Ray caresses Seto on the head and nods that it's only natural.

"This guy's called Snow Cyclops, and he's also used an ice brace, so Seto, who's learning an ice arrow, is better than a death size, who hasn't learned an ice arrow skill. ... Well, it's not an ice arrow, but a different ice skill, or maybe he can't learn a skill in the first place."

　Although unlikely, it was only natural that Seto's iced arrow should be strengthened.

(If Seto's Ice Arrow is currently at Level 4, hopefully... if it really does, it can be Level 5, and when it gets to Level 5, its skills will be enhanced even more than ever before.)

　Yes, the skill of the beast is much stronger at level five.
　If I had the chance, I couldn't help but challenge it.

"All right, Seto. I'll take out the magic stone, so wait a minute."

　Ray muttered as he cut the string and looked at Snow Cyclops lying on the ground.
　With his huge body, he had a hard time lying on the ground, but if he wanted to get a magical stone, he tried to lay it down.
　Watching Snow Cyclops lying safely on the ground, bending his knees and adjusting his hands against the surrounding trees, Ray pulls a knife out of the mistling.
　It's also a fairly sharp first-class knife, not the one you always use to disassemble monsters.
　The skin of Snow Cyclops is quite robust, even when cut or touched to death size.
　It was troublesome to stay strong even after death, but if you convince yourself that you are a high-ranked monster, you will have a strong feeling that the absorption of magical stones might enable Seto to acquire new skills.
　It's not absolutely trendy, but the higher the rank of monsters, the easier it is to acquire skills when absorbing magical stones.
　With that in mind, this Snow Cyclops was another monster to look forward to.

"Well, there's quite a bit of resistance."

　Ray's knife is one of the most expensive knives to dismantle.
　That's why it's so sharp that if you handle it badly, you can drop one or two fingers.
　Even knives with such blades were quite resistant to cutting off Snow Cyclops' chest.
　I thought it would be quicker to do it in death size, but now I'm cutting off only a certain part of my heart, saying it's troublesome to do so.
　It would have been natural to bleed, but I think it was because I drained my blood well. A little... I really had a little bit of blood, but that's all I could do.
　Reaching into Snow Cyclops' body from the cut point, he explores his heart... and then his hand touches and pulls it out.
　Perhaps it was because he couldn't pull out the magic stone alone. Ray felt like he was tearing off meat, but now he succeeded in pulling out the magic stone from his body without showing any particular concern for it.

"Well, it was quite troublesome... ...but the absorption of magical stones can't be seen by strangers.

　We could have had the people dismantling the gigant turtles dismantling them and taking out the magical stones, but then the question is where to absorb the magical stones.
　However, since we didn't have to watch the dismantling of the Giant Turtle all the time, there was a way to move and absorb the magical stone with Seto.
　However, if you go out of your way to do so, it would be easier to take out the magical stones yourself.
　Wash the magical stone with water produced by a running dagger and throw it into the set.
　Seto took it with a stick and swallowed it as it was ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[Set has mastered the skills of Power Crash Lv.6]

　Such an announcement runs through my mind.

"... Oh?"

　It's good to have mastered skills.
　That was as expected for Ray, too.
　However, if the skills he acquired were ice-based skills like Ice Arrow or Ice Breath, Ray would have been convinced...the power crash was clearly unexpected to Ray.

"Glu?"

　Sett is also a little confused that it was a power crash, although he was told that Ray had a high chance of learning ice skills.
　Watching Seto's appearance and the body of Snow Cyclops, who had been stripped of the magical stone, Ray somehow agrees.
　Snow Cyclops had killed and eaten the Cobolts with his strength before the Reys came.
　If so, it is not an ice skill, but a power crash.

"Oh... yeah. Well, it's a little different than I expected, but it's better to think that it's just a higher level of power crash than that you can't learn any skills."

　Ray's words give Seto a second thought... and then he chants to agree with them.
　It's true that I wanted the ice arrow level to rise if possible, but as Ray said, it would be much better than nothing happened."For the time being, we have absorbed the magical stones, and we shall return to the site of the demolition of the Gigant Turtle. We may have them dismantle anything other than the magical stones."

　After telling him so, Ray would put Snow Cyclops' body in a misty ring and fly off in a set.





"Oh, Mr. Ray, you're back. It seems to have taken a long time to drain your blood."

　Guild officials approach Ray by saying so when he gets to the ground in a set.
　...behind these guild workers, a number of adventurers, ordinary people with demolition skills, and Suu Kyi's slum dwellers are dismantling the Giant Turtle.
　and some distance away the bodyguards were fighting against Cobold."

"It seems that Snow Cyclops had more blood than I expected. It took some time for the blood to finish. So there are a lot less Cobolts."

　Yes, I call out to the guild staff.
　Originally, since the mud wall was built to keep it out of the guillem, the number of covolts coming here should have increased considerably compared to yesterday.
　But Ray's observation is that there are not many dead bodies lying on the ground.
　And the number of escort adventurers currently fighting against Cobold is not that high.
　That means there are far fewer Cobolts than Ray had expected.

"What? Oh, yeah. I think Snow Cyclops probably killed most of the Cobolts before we came here in the morning. ... There weren't many bodies of Cobolts, but it's probably...."

　Even Ray knew the rest, not to mention it to the end.
　In fact, Ray sees Snow Cyclops eating Kobolts firsthand.

"But that would mean that Snow Cyclops had eaten most of the Cobolt that came out in large quantities, would it be possible?
"Well, I don't know. There was only one Snow Cyclops here when we left Gillum, but there was not only one Snow Cyclops here during the night, but there is a possibility that other Snow Cyclops left in the morning and that one remained here for some reason."

　If you say so, Ray will have to agree.
　However, if possible, there will be more Snow Cyclops...at least I was glad to have the other one come out to absorb the magical stones in the Death Size, so I am sure I was convinced.

"I don't know if Snow Cyclops will come out again tomorrow, but I don't know."
"Well, that's the very thing we'll have to do to-morrow. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
"Oh, come to think of it... well, I don't think I need this much of a cobolt."

　In fact, perhaps because of the sufficient increase in the number of guards since the cobold did not enter the guillem, we are now able to defeat the cobold without any problems.
　I didn't wonder if we wouldn't have to build mud walls with this number, but considering whether it would continue to be like this or not, we concluded that it would be better to build mud walls.
