『…………』

　The Centaurs can't say anything when they see the scorching hell suddenly created at the end of their eyes.
　These are not just centaurs, but they are the centaurs who were prepared to die to protect their families, lovers, and friends from Dragonius, the incarnation of hunger.
　Even from the perspective of Centaurs, the burning hell created at the end of their eyes can only be stunned.
　It was a scorching hell that was created quite far away, but the blistering heat of the hell that was created there reaches the side of the village.
　On the contrary, I felt as if the temperature around the village had risen several degrees...in some cases as high as 10 degrees.

"There's no problem."

　Ray created such a hell, but as if he didn't know what he had done, he looked at the death size in his hand and confirmed it.
　The original world... in Ergen, Ray was free to use only the magic of fire.
　However, even if this is a world where magic exists, it is not Ergen.
　There was nothing we could do about whether the magic we had at Ergen could work here again without actually trying it out.
　To try, this magic was obviously too powerful, but Ray did.
　It was mostly sensory, but it was probably because they decided that magic could be used.

"Well, for now..."
"Guru!"

　The matter of Dragonius was also settled.
　Seto makes a sharp cry as if to interrupt Ray when he was about to say so.
　Looking at Seto's appearance, he looks at the burning hell wondering what to do.
　Something suddenly seemed to move in the flames beyond my eyes.
　Ray was able to distinguish it because Ray's body was created by the Zepile family, and he had five senses sharper than humans.
　And Seto has five sharper senses than Ray, and that's why he noticed it before Ray realized it.

"Oh my gosh!"

　Those who came out of the flames screaming like that.
　The body, covered in red scales, resembled a centaur in form only.
　However, it's just that the upper and lower bodies were similar in construction, and if you look at their detailed appearance, it's hard to find a similar place.
　First of all, the most impressive thing would be its size.
　As Centaurs, who are bigger than Ray, say they are bigger than themselves, the expression "giant" is appropriate.
　In terms of height, she was over 3 meters, and was as big as or larger than Gaga.
　The lower half of the body is like a dragon... No, it's almost like a lizard, but all individuals have different numbers of legs, such as four-legged centaurs, six-legged, and eight-legged.
　The upper body looks a little like a lizard, but it's just a little.
　If Ray told Zozo and Gaga that Dragonius was similar to Lizardman, Zozo protested modestly, and Gaga could in some cases attack.
　Should we make Lizardman more vicious and describe him as a being who has lost his intellect and reason?
　Both the lower lizard and the upper body are covered with scales.
　However, the color of the scales is red, not the green of the common Lizard.

"It's quite a flashy figure again. I never thought that such a person could endure my magic."
"...oh, no. No, it's not."

　Zai comes back to himself and tells Ray if he hears Ray muttering.
　Ray glances at Zai, saying, "No? What?" Then Zai breathes out a small breath and opens his mouth.

"Dragonius has various scales. And its ability changes depending on the type of scale. He who has red scales can eat fire and heat."
"That's... again...

　eat fire and heat
　Ray, who was told that, somehow understands why Dragonius, who has broken through the magic, is rushing at him.
　In other words, for Dragonius with red scales, the presence of Ray seems to be an exquisite treat.
　In fact, it's not strange to make such a decision when you look at Ray's scorching hell.

"By the way, what do you think happened to Dragonius with scales of other colors?"
"What Dragonius can eat depends on the color of the scales. All but those with red scales would have been burned to death by Ray's magic. -- magic, isn't it?"

　Rei nods to Zai's affirmative words.
　I thought that the magic I used was different from the magic that Zai knew.
　From what Ray has heard, only a small number of Centaur settlements can use magic.
　Even with that magic, I don't think it's that flashy as far as Zai is concerned.
　In that case, Ray's magic... Elgin, another world's magic, may be called heresy in this world.

"Well... anyway, what about that red dragonius? Should I knock him down or do you guys fight?"
"We will fight. Thanks to Ray, we were able to defeat most of the Dragonians. I think it was a relief, but I can't leave everything to Ray."

　Pride won't allow it.
　Ray understood what I was saying.
　However, it is Ray's honest feeling that he can afford to say such a thing in the current situation.
　The present Centaur is in a corner.
　Considering that Ray is cornered by Dragonius, I think it's better to save even a little bit of fighting power now that Ray is here.
　Ray has such doubts, but I understood that nothing more could be said by looking at Zai.

"Okay, I got it. ... I'll tell you just in case, but I'll intervene if it's dangerous. I have a lot to ask you."
"I know. However, no matter how strong the Dragonius is, it's not difficult to beat with that number. ...Listen, everyone! My friend beat most of the enemies! He says he can beat the rest of Dragonius. Then we will be able to win today's battle without causing any damage to us. But... is that all right!? I leave everything to my friends who are not from the community, but from my friends who are not from the clan, and I just watch them!"

　The words that come out of Zai's mouth bring those who are fascinated by Ray's scorching hell back to their senses.
　...Not only does it bring us to our senses, but the content of Zai's words inspires many people to look at the red dragons who rush in at us with fighting spirit.
　If the distance from the Dragonians had already been less than 200 meters, and had not recovered in Zai's words, it would have been trampled down by the Dragonians.
　In that sense, Zai's words were timely.

"If you have seen your friend's ability, it is time to show our ability to your friend! Let's go, my friend, my family, my community... to protect everyone!"
"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

　At Zai's words, everyone who heard it... No, most people scream.
　However, there were some people who didn't scream, and some of them were familiar to Ray.
　Dorat's followers look away as soon as they meet Ray's gaze.
　You don't know Ray has this much power, and you must be regretting your carelessness in getting involved.
　A lot of unexpected things have happened to Ray since he came to this world, and he doesn't really care about them anymore.
　While Ray is watching Zai, Zai is the first to rush into them... exactly toward Dragonius, who is heading towards their village.
　Then, as if it were only natural, the other Centaurs would run after Zai toward a flock of Dragonians with red scales.

(I didn't hear of Zai's position clearly, but when I saw this situation, I wonder if he was like a warrior chief?)

　Blessed, blessed, powerful enough to fight on the front lines, and a kind of charisma, though they seemed to have fewer numbers than Drats.
　Given the circumstances, he was undoubtedly in a considerable position among Centaurs.(Drat's entourage is also facing the enemy.)

　As for Dorat's followers, I thought I didn't want to be by Ray's side, who created such a burning hell, but... Ray doesn't seem to notice it.

"Guru?"

　Ray, who was seeing off Centaur, hears Seto's throat next to him and looks at him.
　When Seto looks at them and asks, "Can I leave them alone?", Ray wonders what to do.
　I don't want Ray to die as much as possible to repay the Centaurs.
　However, after defeating most of Dragonius, the proud Zayes are further helped by Ray, and there is a question as to what they think.
　There was a possibility that Ray would have defiled his pride by judging that he had disturbed them, even though they could have knocked him down by themselves.
　However, that doesn't mean that I can pretend I'm abandoning...

"Let's wait and see from above and help if it looks dangerous. Is that OK for Seto?"
"Guru!"

　Seto chirps to agree with Ray's words.
　...By that time, the battle had already begun on the front line.
　The Dragonians have no weapons in their hands.
　At first many people had clubs, but clubs are naturally made of wood.
　Dragonias with red scales, resistant to flames, survived Ray's spell.
　But all of the clubs used as weapons were burned down by Ray's magic.
　Dragonius, however, has sharp claws and fangs even with bare hands.
　The two were powerful enough to rip their prey and kill them.
　In addition, the power of the giant body overwhelmingly surpasses Centaur.
　The only thing Centaur has won is his lightness and large numbers, and his fighting skills, which he has developed because of his reason and intelligence.
　However, if there is such a win, even if you cannot win by individual strength, you can take advantage of the large number of people and fight to your advantage.
　And in fact, Centaur was fighting in favor of Dragonius.
　Still, Dragonius is stronger than Centaur, and above all, he is suffering from hunger, so it is impossible to do effective damage with a little pain.
　There are also centaurs whose body is cut by Dragonius' claws, and in some cases, flesh is eaten.
　Dragonius' body is also covered with scales on the lower body of the lizard and the upper body of the humanoid, which are very sturdy.
　It is difficult for a low-skilled person or a weak person to penetrate or attack a place without scales.

"This... even if you can knock it down, it will cause great damage to the Centaur side."

　Dragonius is about thirty, and on the Centaur side nearly three hundred.
　If this were a normal human being, the majority would win, as long as it was nearly ten times the difference.
　However, the balance of battle still does not lean towards either side.
　Since Centaur, who was the champion of this meadow until Dragonius came, is in such a state against a tenth of the population, it will be clear how good Dragonius is.
　Fortunately, no one has died yet.
　However, it was certain that there would be a death on the Centaur side in less time.

"Do you want to help me?"

　Watching the battle in the sky, Ray decides so easily.
　If anyone was looking at Ray, they would want to tell him what was bothering them until a while ago.
　In fact, Ray was wondering whether to help or just visit.
　Why did you decide to help me in such a situation?
　Needless to think about it, it was decided that even if Centaur wins as it is, it will ultimately suffer a great deal of damage.
　For Ray, it is disadvantageous that the number of Centaurs who treat him amicably will decrease.
　Therefore, I didn't have the choice not to touch Zai's displeasure here.

"Seto, defeat Dragonius. Can you help me?"
"Guru!"

　He stroked Seto's throat... Ray jumped from Seto's back in the air with his death size in his hand.
