1990 the 1990th episode



What on earth should it be described as?
 In a nutshell, it's right to call it a variant.
 For example, goblins, covolts, and oaks.
 They look just like human figures.
 Or wolves, boars, birds, snakes, etc.
 Animal-based monsters were familiar to Ray.
 Of course, there are many monsters that are so strange that they don't seem to understand their original shape at all.
 Still, the tentacles ahead of Ray's gaze look very, if not very unacceptable.
 It's a giant eyeball.
 And around the eyeballs there are countless tentacles... countless pink tentacles that Ray has seen so much.
 There is no eyelid, only what we really call the eyeball is floating in the air, and something that looks like a optic nerve and even a tail extends from behind the eyeball.
 The weirdest thing about it is its size.
 The eyeballs floating in the air look like Ray's, but they're such huge eyes over 10 meters in diameter.
 Moreover, there are innumerable tentacles growing around it, so it is only natural that the faces of the three Elenas at the sight of themselves.
 No, Ray and Sett feel the same way in the sense that they are distorted by hatred.
 To be honest with you, it's a very physiological person you don't want to touch yourself with your own hands.

(That's strange)

 Watching those eyes, Ray wonders.
 Ray has fought against various monsters.
 In that sense, it's not once or twice that we've fought against a disgusting being.
 But why do you feel such aversion to this eyeball?
 Of course, I understand that you are enough to have that kind of feeling, but if you look at it part by part, you don't have to feel this bad, even if you think it's disgusting.
 But when I look at the big picture of the eyeballs, I suddenly feel disgusted.
 The eyeballs look around, puzzled by the sudden abandonment of the world.
 He doesn't seem to care at all about the incessant incantations of fire by Ray and the tentacles that stretch out from his body.
 ...there was nothing missing from the tentacles growing from the eyes, and all over the body.
 There is no trace of Ray's tentacles burning.

"What do you do? I thought the tentacle owner would come out, but it was a little surprising that he was like that."

 The least disgusting look on Ray's words was Vichela.
 Of course. Basically, Vihela's way of attacking is to fight, so when it comes to fighting that eyeball, you have to touch that body directly.
 Although Vichela preferred to fight against strong opponents, she resisted touching the eyeballs that excite physiological aversion.
 However, given that the eyes were floating in the air, if they had to attack them, they would have had to either fly into the air or knock them down to the ground.
 In that regard, Elena and Marina are not as strong as Vihela, perhaps because they have a long-range offensive tool.

"Well, I'd like to magically clean it up... Ray, Elena, is that all right? I'm sorry for Vihela."
"... for the time being, I can't touch it if I stay in the air, so I'll be glad if you let me down on the ground."

 Vihela's retort to Marina's words was probably half-intentional.
 At any rate, no one disagrees with Marina's words about magically attacking... the eyeballs floating in the air suddenly make a huge noise as she tries to confirm them and say something.

"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

 I don't know where the voice comes from, not even Ray, who is listening to it... and not everyone else knows.
 There are tentacles around the eyeballs, with only the tail that looks like an optic nerve.
 It would have been impossible to speak out, for there was no such thing as a vocal cord.
 However, it's not a person, and in some cases, it's not even a monster's definition in Elgin.
 That being the case, Ray's common sense didn't have to be accepted.
 ...and Ray didn't know how to speak, but the voice was familiar to him.
 The voice was heard by Ray when he fought in the underground space during the raid.
 I used to hear the voice in layers, but now it's different.
 Is it because it's outside, not underground, or because the eyeballs are in this world, not across the cracks in the space?
 But after hearing his voice, Ray found out.

"I see. That aversion to eyeballs isn't really about what you think or do you think, it's about some kind of magic or skill in this world."

 Yes, the moment I heard his voice, Ray's disgust in his eyes became apparent.
 It wasn't just Ray, but Elena... and even Sett seemed to be equally disgusted with the eyeballs.

"Well... that's what it feels like to be out of sight."

 Marina agrees with Ray, disgusted and truly disgusting.

"What are you going to do with a direct attack... ...like a nasty thing? What are you going to do with this kind of inciting our disgust?"

 Elena's words were the same as those of others, including Ray.
 In the first place, some people would hesitate to attack if they had an affinity with each other.
 Regardless of whether it is possible or not, it is like many people hesitating when asked to attack Seto in Gilm.
 But if you have an aversion rather than affinity, you don't have to hesitate to attack.
 No, it's not surprising to attack aggressively.
 Then, what did Ray think of his eyes and do it like that... the moment Ray thinks about it, his eyes suddenly move and he looks at them.

"Oh!? Avoid it!"

 dangerous
 Reflectively, Ray leaps away from the scene screaming.
 Fortunately, everyone here had the capacity to react to Ray's words.
 Everyone reacts to Ray's cry and moves from there without hesitation about what happened.
 The next moment, a purple telegram runs through where the Reys were.
 Just as it glittered for a moment, the purple telegram fired at the same time... the thunder fired from the eyes scorched the place where the lays were.

"Are you safe?"

 Ray, who moves reflexively with a bad feeling, shouts sharply, looking at his eyes floating in the air.

"No problem with me!"
"I'm all right here, too!"
"Same!"
"Gruly!"

 Elena, Marina, Vihela, Set.
 Ray glares at the giant eyeballs, who for some reason won't do the next thing after a thunderbolt, even though the three and one of them replied that there was no problem.

(Why? Considering the current situation, even if they chase us... No, why did they attack us all of a sudden? What happened before that...)

 I don't know if that's the skill or not, but I remember that after the sound of the cry, he suddenly felt even more disgust towards his eyes.

(that is, the eyeballs sensed their dislike of themselves in some way, and in response fired that thunder... troublesome)

 Ray's irritation grows with the tricky way of attacking, glaring at his eyes floating in the air.
 If you've just launched a normal attack, there's a way to avoid it.
 It wouldn't necessarily be impossible, given that we could actually avoid the lightning strike that struck our eyes.
 But if you have the skill to stir up that disgust, you'll inevitably be one step... or one and a half steps behind you in your next action.
 In the first place, that's all that matters, but in dealing with such eyeballs, disgust should never be taken lightly.
 Given that the others are first-rate or better able, of course Ray has already noticed.
 Still, Ray didn't have the option of not mentioning it in case there was a possibility.

"Be careful! You can see that that eyeball is sensing the enemy with the skill of increasing your dislike of yourself. Anyway, attack that eyeball... oh, now it's tentacles!"

 Did you understand that lightning was avoided, or did you hear Ray's cry?At any rate, the eyeballs floating in the air extend tentacles growing from all over the body toward the lays.
 The innumerable tentacles extending from the eyeballs should not have been able to reach where the rays were originally located from their length.
 However, it is natural that Ray and his colleagues are not understood, as they are originally at a rift in space.
 The tentacles, which would otherwise not have reached, extend straight to where Ray is.
 Perhaps because the eyeballs are in this space, the tentacles are several steps faster than they are in the underground space.

`But I won't let you have your own way!'

 Ray screams as he cuts his tentacles through magic into death-size pieces.
 Just like when we fought in underground space... well, maybe it's just my imagination, but I'm still cutting off my tentacles in death size.
 The amputated tentacles naturally fell to the ground and disappeared into dust, as if they had been in underground space or burned earlier.
 Countless... that's how to use death-size and twilight spears to cut, cut, and cut tentacles that attack everywhere in front of you.
 As I looked around me, I found three and one of them, like Elena, Marina, Vihela, and Seto, overwhelmed by countless tentacles, just like Ray.

(However...)

 Soon, he turns his gaze back to the tentacles that come at him, cutting nearly ten tentacles with a death-size blow, but deciding that at this rate Ray will eventually be pushed through by physical force.
 I'm overwhelmed now, and everyone here, including Ray, is very strong as an adventurer.
 But even if you have high physical strength, it doesn't mean you have unlimited physical strength.
 Still, as long as he is clearly superior to the average adventurer, he has plenty of time to spare before he is completely exhausted.
 I need to do something about my eyes before such a time limit."

"I'm in the way!"

 Even if you use magic, you have to chant a certain amount of spells in order to put together and burn all the tentacles that extend from your eyes.
 Of course, there are spells that can be used for short chanting, but the power and range of effects of such spells are limited.

(Then I, Elena, or Marina, need time to use the magic.)

 The tentacles that attack from both sides are quickly rotated on the spot, and cut off at once with the death size and twilight spear held in both hands.
 But even after the amputation, the eyeballs floating in the air don't seem to care at all, and they are stretched out... or new tentacles are stretched out one after another towards Ray.

"Fly off!"

 From the large scale of death, there is a sharp attack.
 Watching the tentacles cut together, Ray wields his death-size again.

"Powerslash!"

 What followed was a powerful blow.
 Nearly ten tentacles are cut together and torn apart by death size.

"By the way, this... Eat it!"

 Throw the twilight spear in the left hand, albeit semi-forcefully, using the force of a power slash in one hand.
 The spears, albeit momentarily, are loaded with magic and thrust straight at the eyeballs in the air... but the moment Ray releases the spears, the tentacles that had been attacking Ray and Elena are instantly pulled back to their eyeballs, overlapping one another as a shield to prevent the twilight spears.
 Given the speed of the twilight spear's flight, it could be said that the act was done in an instant.
 Ray knows in underground space that throwing spears is effective.
 But there's no doubt it's a completely unexpected result for Ray that his eyeballs will react so loudly.
 He was dumbfounded for a few seconds... and when he realized that this was a great opportunity, he didn't pretend to miss this opportunity, but instead took action.
