"Isn't it about time we arrived?"

　Ray said so four days after he left the village of Zay.I.
　Originally, it was about five days each way, but it is much easier to run because of Ray's storage in the mystery ring.
　Also, I saved the Centaurs that had been attacked by Dragonius two days ago, but after that, I was able to get here safely without any trouble.
　That's why Ray said it was a day earlier than originally planned, but it might be about time we approached Dragonius' home base.

"Well, I remember seeing the scenery around here."

　Centaur's face, the guide, looks bitter.
　Of course, when I came to the headquarters of Dragonius to scout, all my companions were eventually eaten to death by him, and I was the only one who managed to escape.
　Normally, it's not strange to be traumatized.
　...no, it's obvious from the way things are going now that I'm actually traumatized.
　Still... it's because I understand that I have to do something about Dragonius even if I manage to get rid of the trauma, that I've come all the way here, suppressing the fear and fear inside me.
　It was the other Centaurs who knew it, but there is no doubt that they need to push themselves here.
　There's only one person who knows there's a home of Dragonia.
　but if it is clear that there is the home of Dragonius nearby, that is the means by which Ray rides and searches from above.
　However, if Ray and Seto, who have a slight sense of direction, behave like that, I don't know if they will be able to come back here safely and rejoin the Zays.
　It's OK to find the headquarters of Dragonius, but it's not strange that Ray and Seto end up attacking the headquarters alone.
　But the question is whether we can return to the settlement of Zay after defeating Dragonius... more precisely, we can reach the hole that connects to Erzyn nearby.
　In the worst case scenario, Grimm is supposed to be contacted by a pair of obes, but it's not clear whether he can get in touch with Grimm by using a pair of obes if he's too far away from Elgin but in a different world.

"If you have a familiar view, you can think that Dragonius' home ground is close."
"Yes, yes. I don't think that's wrong. ... But you have to make sure you don't find Dragonius because it's going to be a lot more around your home base."
"The number will increase. Isn't that a lookout?"

　Normally, it's not strange to have a lookout at home.
　With that in mind, Ray asked, but Centaur, the guide, shook his head.

"As you know, Dragonius has no ego or intelligence... maybe there is, but he is dominated by more intense hunger."
"Is that the same at home?"

　All of the dragonias Ray had fought for were dominated by hunger.
　However, if you are building your home base, it is true that some Dragonians have a high level of intelligence... considering Ergen's perception, it is not surprising that there are rare and superior species.

"Well, maybe there's an intelligent Dragonius, but as far as I've seen, there's never been one like that ... although I wasn't able to scout that well before."

　The last time I came for a reconnaissance, I was spotted by Dragonius as soon as I arrived, and I had to run away.
　Originally, Centaur is faster than Dragonius, and since he was chosen as a reconnaissance agent, the fastest runners in the village are chosen as a matter of course.
　But... perhaps unlucky, I ran into Dragonius while I was running away, and as a result, I was eaten to death except for those who guided Ray and others.
　After hearing the explanation, Ray opens his mouth, watching Centaur look chagrined.

"Maybe the Dragonius I encountered along the way was lying in ambush."
"Yes, after we went back to the village and reported on it, the possibilities were discussed, but as far as other Dragonians are concerned..."
"Well, I guess so."

　As long as Dragonius' normal behavior is behavior, I cannot help but question it.
　If we were intelligent, we could move more efficiently.
　Ray agrees, but if there are only a few higher or rare species, it's not surprising to think so.

"Guru".

　Then, as we go on talking, Seto suddenly makes his throat growls.
　What the hell happened? Ray looks around... and finds Dragonius quite far away.
　Rarely, though...really, the Dragonians were not looking for food, they were eating something.
　It's such a distance that Ray doesn't know what he's eating.
　However, the appearance of being fed by starvation does not alert people around at all.

(Well, this area is completely under Dragonius' control, and we don't need to be wary of it, but other Dragonians who steal their food... well, don't we need to worry about it? On the contrary, it's better for us not to look around.)

　For Ray and others, the smaller the number, the better.
　We intended to wipe out our home ground with a fire whirlwind attack, but if we had the chance to get Dragonia's body with a different color scale before that, there was no choice not to.

"Zai, there's Dragonius over there. ... Can you see him?"
"If you ask me if I can see it... wouldn't it seem like there is?"

　Centaurs living on the grass have very high eyesight.
　But Ray has higher vision than Centaur...and Seto has higher vision than Ray.
　For that reason, Seto has been able to confirm the existence of Dragonius, and Ray can somehow confirm it, but for the Zayes, it is not so far away that it does not seem like that.

"Anyway, I'm so into eating right now that I don't seem to notice it. As I explained earlier, I'd better avoid encountering Dragonius when something happens, so I'll knock him down here."
"...I got it."

　The reason why Zai's reply to Ray's words was because he understood that they were the ones who encountered Dragonius and were told it was dangerous.
　Only Ray and Seto can defeat Dragonius without any problems.
　Before that, Ray and Seto could fly, so they didn't even have to fight.

"My magic will only secure the body of Dragonius with red scales. In that sense, it will be quite helpful for me to defeat Dragonius with different scales."

　Ray didn't say such a thing to encourage the Zay, but he said it because it was purely for his own benefit.
　However, it was not strange for them to think that they cared for themselves.
　Even so, Zai knows that there is nothing she can do about it under the current circumstances, so she can't nod honestly to Ray's.

"Okay, let's do that."

　Seeing Zai nod, Ray pats Seto on the back.

"Set".
"Guru".

　Just by calling his name, Seto understands what Ray is expecting, and after a few steps of approach runs up towards the sky, flapping his wings.
　Flying Seto eventually reaches the spot of Dragonius, who is on the ground.

"Okay, then when I get off, Seto will continue."

　Just say it lightly, and jump off Seto's back, taking a death-size and twilight spear from inside the mystery ring.
　While using Slapnil shoes along the way, he kicked in the air and fell to the ground...

"First, one, and two."

　Taking advantage of the falling force, one of the Dragonians is desized to the left and right, followed by the use of a twilight spear to disperse the other nearby head.
　Dragonius is obsessed with satisfying his appetite... or rather, his ongoing appetite delays his counterattack against the presence of an attacker named Ray.
　Still, if two of his companions were killed, he would come to himself and fight back at Ray...

"LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!"

　Seto, falling from above, smashes its body with a blow from its front foot.
　Not only that, but as soon as they land on the ground, they kick and jump on the ground, and hit a dragonius and play it off.
　In terms of body size, Seto and Dragonius are no different.
　Nevertheless, Dragonius, who was blown away by Seto's body, blows away violently.
　This is simply because even if the body size is the same, Seto may be superior in terms of pure muscle strength.
　Other than that, I guess it's because I was suddenly taken by surprise when I was on guard for Ray.

"Green, blue, yellow... Oh, there's black. I don't need red anymore."

　Avoiding the aggression of Dragonius, who rips with his sharp claws, and attempting to bite off the meat, Ray shakes his death size at the counter and cuts his head, checking the color of the scales of the Dragonians around him.
　It was a bit disappointing that there were already quite a few red-scaled dragons, but they still used death-size and twilight spears to reap their lives, rejoicing at the presence of dragons of various colors.
　Dragonius wouldn't have even known what was going on.Originally, small beings like Ray, let alone Seto, were supposed to be meat to satisfy hunger by killing them easily with one stroke.
　Nevertheless, when you realize it, the food kills your companions one after another.
　For Dragonius, driven by hunger, companions are not that important.
　It was a nuisance... even an enemy, in the sense that if we were together, we would have less meat to eat.
　That's why I didn't have to worry about the death of my comrades, but it's only natural to think that they're strong enemies when you see your family being killed one after another.
　But when Dragonius realized it, the number of those who were already alive was low... the few who survived were also killed one after another.

"...well, there were quite a few, though, there were quite a few."
"Guru-ru- "Squealing".

　Seto grunts, agreeing with Ray's words.
　There were four Dragonians who were attacking the Centaurs, whom I encountered two days ago.
　However, there are now more than 10 dead Dragonias in front of Ray and Seto.
　It was alarming for Ray to have more than double the number of Dragonians.

"Since it's on the home side, I guess there are a lot of Dragonias... wow."

　The last strange voice came from seeing the body that Dragonius was devouring.
　It has already become something to be called a wreckage, to the extent that it is not known what kind of animal it was originally.
　That's why Ray's mouth sounded strange.
　However, if it's just a corpse, Ray is used to seeing it.
　First of all, Ray now has a large number of Dragonius corpses in front of him.
　Still, the reason why I hear such a voice when I see the wreckage is because it's a corpse made by myself or not, and because it's a corpse that Dragonius was eating.

"For the time being, let alone this corpse... shall we keep the body of Dragonius?"

　To change his mind, Ray keeps the bodies of himself and Dragonius, who were killed in Seto, intact.
　Then he cleared up Dragonius' body, and when he had settled down, the Zays arrived where the Rays were.
