With a thud. Air bubbles form at the bottom of the lake and float up to the surface.
　When they see the scene, the fish and animals swimming around them immediately try to break away from the scene... suddenly the tentacles that extend out of their reach get wrapped around their bodies, and at that moment they become motioning.
　The biggest fish caught in the tentacles... the one about a meter long... could be called the strongest in this lake.
　Meat‐eating fish alone, many of the fish in this lake are only their own food.
　Being aware that I was also the king of this lake, I feel angry at my superiority... but all I have now is my instinctive fear of dying.
　The body, which swam faster than anyone else, cannot escape from the tentacles that are wrapped around it and is gradually pulled.
　Then... the fish is easily melted and digested by the tentacles.
　The master of the tentacles, who digested other fish and animals caught in the tentacles, extends the tentacles around him, wondering if he still feels hungry.
　However, as a result of eating fish and animals that exist nearby at random, there are no fish or animals around.
　with a gulp.
　If air bubbles rise from the bottom of the lake again, nothing will happen.
　We float our tentacles in the water looking for prey, but in the end we can't find one that will satisfy our hunger.
　If you can't find your prey even if you stay here, there's one thing to do.
　If you don't have any prey, you have to head where you are.
　The existence floated from the bottom of the lake, then floated to the surface in search of prey.
　There is no ego, only instinctive action to satisfy hunger.
　However, they do not have unnecessary thoughts, and because they are true to their instincts, they arrive straight at the answer.
　The presence that had moved so far above the surface of the water suddenly felt the presence of a powerful magical power in a place not far from me.
　They decide that the mighty magic will certainly satisfy their hunger and follow their instincts.
　And the closer you get to your prey, the more you can sense its enormous magical power.
　He was the master of the tentacles that were heading over there, but suddenly he noticed that their presence had moved.
　Before you know it, you don't have to question the other person that was right above you... but reach through the water to satisfy your hunger.
　eat, eat, eat, eat
　In the midst of such starvation, the tentacles that were stretched out through the water... suddenly disappear.
　He doesn't even realize that he's been attacked... he's aware of it, but he stretches out his tentacles that he needs to do something better than worry about it.
　...not exactly a tentacle, but a part of its body stretched thin, but objectively, it was not wrong to describe it as a tentacle.
　Many of those tentacles have been destroyed... and yet the movement of hunger has not stopped.
　Instinctively driven, I kept reaching out my tentacles, but I couldn't catch anyone satisfying my hunger over time.
　I wonder how long it would take for them to get their food.
　The presence in the water was not the tentacles, but the body of the body would float to the surface in order to directly bite the opponent.





　Time returns, and while Ray and Sett are looking at the lizard children playing in the lake, Sett suddenly glares at the lake with a sharp cry.

"Gururururling!

　The voice sounded to Ray as if he were wary of something.

"Seto? What's wrong?"
"Gru, gru, gru, gru, grull, "Grull, grull, grull!"

　At Ray's call, Sett glares at the lake with a purring voice.
　By looking at Seth's appearance, Ray can understand that there is something... dangerous in the lake for Seth to watch out for.
　In the first place, when I saw the lake from above, I saw an animal that was in the lake but had a completely wet tail.
　...Of course, for Ray, this world is different from Japan, where he was born and raised, and this lake has probably moved from another world to the first place.
　Then something that Ray doesn't know could exist.

"Get the children out of the lake and evacuate to the Tower of Birth!"

　At Ray's call, Zozo, who was waiting a little further away, immediately takes action.
　Lizardman's children, too, watch Rey, if they don't know what to say, and rush up from the lake to the tower of his birth, at Zozo's sword screen telling him to get out of the lake.
　Looking sideways at the scene, Ray tells Zozo to respond quickly to whatever happens, and flies over the lake on a set.
　the act of judging that it is easier to see from above than from shore
　Seth flying over the lake with this in mind, and Ray straddling the back of it, but from above, I don't see anything in particular. ... At least that's what I thought at first.

"Grull!"

　a few minutes after flying over the sky
　Suddenly the set screams sharply.
　At first Ray couldn't understand what Sett was wary of.
　Fortunately, however, I was not sure if I could describe it as... but I soon understood why.
　Something translucent came out of the surface of the lake.
　Ray couldn't help but notice it as if it had reached a set at an altitude of about 100 meters.
　Translucent...there are one, two, three things that should be described as the tentacles of water...in the end, more than ten.
　They stretched out from the surface of the lake.

"Set, what did you think was it?
"Gruly!"

　Seto responds to Ray's call and breaks the tentacles that extend towards him with a blow of the forefoot.
　Seth's blow may have been powerful, but the water tentacles were not so resilient.

"Brittle,"
"Glu".

　In Ray's muttering, Seto agrees, with a brief whimper.
　However, the number of fragile tentacles is relatively high.
　There were only about 10 trees before, but now there are more than 30 trees.
　As far as the situation goes, Ray doesn't understand how many tentacles there would be. He can't, but... he didn't want to think about what would happen if he could touch them.
　It's a tentacle that can be destroyed without hesitation, but depending on how you think, the tentacle has sufficient power.
　Then it is undoubtedly the best option to destroy yourself before your tentacles actually touch you.

"Hit!"

　Staddling Seto's back, Ray wields a death-size from the mistling and cuts off his tentacles.
　As Ray expected, the tentacles are fragile.
　Ray's flying sword cuts off one of the tentacles easily, cuts off the other tentacles behind the cut tentacles without showing any signs of weakening its power, and cuts off the next tentacles without weakening its power.
　Hidaigiri has become extremely powerful compared to before, because the level of Hidaigiri has been reduced to five.
　One of the characteristics of witchcraft is that when the skill level reaches five, the skill's performance jumps.
　Hidaigiri was also increasingly powerful because of it, but I still didn't think I could cut off my tentacles so easily.

(In other words, does this tentacle capture the opponent in some other way, rather than binding him? No, it attacks him like this in the first place, but he's actually not hostile...)

　Ray thought that way a little, but immediately fired a sword and denied his idea.
　The tentacles around them and themselves undoubtedly extend towards themselves... no, not towards Ray, but towards Seto.
　Ray doesn't know how this tentacle can sense the opponent's location.
　But the only fact was that the tentacles were aimed at Seto.
　It doesn't seem to Ray that such a person would be friendly.

"Gururururling!

　At the same time as the set calls, several wind arrows are produced around it and fired at the same time.
　The arrow of the wind blows its tentacles easily.
　Other than that, Seto uses earth arrows, ice arrows, and shock magic eyes to destroy his tentacles one after another.
　The most impressive of them was the Firebreath.
　The firebreath, opened and released by Seto's kuchibashi, burns up with more than ten tentacles.

(Would I burn my tentacles at once with the magic of fire? No, but considering the current situation, my magic will damage the lake.)

　Using a flying sword, the approaching tentacles are cut and crushed using death-size and twilight spears.
　Given that the lake has just metastasized, Rey doesn't know what will happen if it is badly stimulated here.
　That's why Ray's magic may trigger fatal damage to his birth tower near the lake.
　The tower of birth still houses a large number of Lizardman's eggs.
　There was no denying that all the worst eggs could be destroyed if the tower of birth fell.
　If that happened, Lizardman wouldn't forgive Ray, very much.
　Zozo, loyal to Ray, may forgive him.
　At the very least, Gaga, who is now on good terms with Ray, could come to kill him."Seto, it will take some time, but I'll do my best until this tentacle owner gives up."
"Gruly!"

　Let Rey say, "Leave it to me!" Set.
　Ray mutters to me that he's sorry.

(And yet, the eyeballs that fought that winter had tentacles, and again, tentacles? What should I say... I'm strangely too fond of tentacles?)

　It's enough to attack with a little bit of a bad feeling, wondering if you're going to continue to fight monsters with tentacles.
　In the meantime, even cutting and destroying tentacles showed no sign of diminishing, or even increasing.
　If things go on like this, you'll run out of energy one day, even if you're fine now.
　Just when I think about it, all the tentacles that came out of the water suddenly come back into the lake.

"What?"
"Grull?"

　Ray and Sett raise questions together.
　In this battle, Ray and his team were winning, but the tentacles that continued to stretch out were troublesome opponents.
　I didn't know what kind of ability they had, but if they kept fighting, they would eventually know... on their own bodies.
　In the worst case, you can escape from the top of the lake, which could damage the lizards, adventurers and knights near the lake.
　Considering the circumstances around that time, Ray and Sett... no, because the tentacles were after Sett, it was necessary for Sett to keep fighting over the lake like this."For some reason, they abandoned the battle and put their tentacles back in the lake.
　But the questions Ray and Sett have about their tentacles are quickly solved.
　Because something huge came to the surface.
　It is as translucent as a tentacle.
　In terms of appearance, it is a translucent oval that can be described as a little mountain or hill.

"... slime?"

　Yes, Ray's mouth is leaking.
　In fact, if you don't even think about the size, it looks like the slime that Ray normally knows.
　However, its size was clearly incomparably different from ordinary slime.
　It's so stupid to think about how many ordinary slimes you need to gather to make it look like a slime in front of Ray's eyes.

"Grull".

　Stay alert, even if Slime is his opponent, so Seto warns Ray to beware of Ray.
　Ray nods to such a set and says it's OK.
　I had no intention of belittling Sett, given that he was such a strong opponent that he needed to be vigilance.

"Anyway, since they attacked me, I don't know who I was talking to, unlike Zozo. ... No, Zozo didn't listen to me at first."

　At Ray's muttering, Sett pursed... waiting for the other person's action, ready to deal with whatever action the giant slime might take next.
