the middle of night
 A full moon exists in the sky, shining brightly on the meadow.
 The wind wasn't that strong, and it was just the perfect environment for a night attack.
 Ray calls out to the zays, bathed in the falling moonlight.

"Dragonius seems to have gone to bed, and it's about time to act. If you use magic from here, it's very likely that Dragonius will come over here. Then it tastes bad."

 The Zai's expression of frustration at Ray's words.
 This was not to say that they were frustrated with Ray, but that they were frustrated with their lack of ability to let Ray say this.
 ...and indeed few can fight Dragonius head-on.
 Even among those who came to the village with strong people selected, Zai and Dorat managed to fight one-on-one.
 It's not clear whether you can beat Dragonius just because you can fight.
 In Centaur, which is mentally fragile compared to Dragonius, who is originally controlled by race physical ability, starvation and eats to death whatever damage he or she suffers, the Centaur side is inevitably disadvantaged when fighting head-on.
 Considering the circumstances, I have no choice but to obey Ray's words.
 Ray can understand the Centaurs' feelings.
 The Centaurs are already a proud race.
 It was only natural for us to feel ashamed of ourselves just by having Ray defeat the opponent we couldn't do anything about it.
 ... Nevertheless, when it comes to choosing between their pride and the security of the community, the latter is the only choice for Zai and Dorat.
 I knew it, and I knew everything and came this far... but I was asked if Ray had anything in mind, and of course there was.
 Nevertheless, there is no point in saying anything in the present situation.
 It would have been a different story if we could train more and become stronger and defeat Dragonius by ourselves.

"Okay. So we can wait far away and attack Dragonius, who survived Ray's magic?"

 Zai asks Ray, suppressing the emotions inside him.
 Ray nods to Zai's words, stroking Seto.

"Yes, just...To be honest, at that scale, some people can't kill off even if they're damaged by fire. I want them to prioritize that."
"Okay, I want you to leave it to me."

 Ray's words were like telling you to deal with only the dying Dragonians because you can't beat the red-scaled Dragonians who will endure Ray's magic, but Zai nods honestly.
 That's because they understand that it's no use being told so in their current abilities.
 ...though a few people, including Dorat, looked chagrined.

"Okay, let's get started. ... You don't have to worry, but don't rush your achievements into the enemy?"

 say so in a casual manner
 I thought that the strength of Dragonius need not be so worried, as the Centaurs knew better than Ray.
 Still, I advised you just in case.

"I know. Please do it sooner."

 Encouraged by Zai, Ray calls out to Seto, who was lying down, and rides on his back.
 Instead of flying, run on the ground and away from the Zay's place... Eventually, stop after running on Seto's foot for about 5 minutes.

"Now, Seto. What I'm going to start is the fire whirlwind that I've used several times."
"Guru!"

 "I know!" Seth the throat.
 While stroking Seto, Ray wonders if he should start a fire whirlwind here.
 Dragonians will be surprised to see a sudden fire whirlwind in their home ground.
 But now it's midnight and most of Dragonius should be sleeping.
 ...although there was a question as to whether people could sleep under the control of hunger, there is no doubt that most Dragonians are asleep from a distance.

(Tens of thousands...? I didn't check it clearly, but maybe that's about it.)

 There are tens of thousands of dragons that have enough strength to compete with unless Centaurs fight in large numbers.
 If this force was serious, Ray would feel as if the whole world could be eaten to death, let alone this grassland, but in reality, nothing like that has happened.
 I felt that there were various reasons and circumstances around there, but Ray's work remained the same.

(Well, as long as the enemy has few elements to confuse, we should make a fire whirlwind here and move it. We can't move it the way we want, but Centaurs can escape without any problems... Let's believe so.)

 If you decide to do so and take out the death size from the mistilling, you will see the set again.

"Here we go."
"Guru".

 Ray recites a spell after confirming Seto's throat.

'Flame, manifest thy blazing power in a whirlpool.'

 The flame compresses with the spell.
 Throw the flame at a distance.

"The Roaring Fire"

 It hits about 100 meters away, and a tornado of flames is created.

"Squealing!"

 Next to Ray, Seto uses the skills of a tornado to create a tornado.
 The tornado was created in the same place as the tornado of flames.

"Hand of the Wind"

 With a death size in hand, Ray starts the wind's hand.
 The moment the two tornadoes merge, the wind tornado and the flame tornado, stretch out the wind's tentacles.
 a tornado of flame and wind
 The tornado of flames created by Ray's magic is more powerful.
 It's expensive, but it's Ray's skill to deal with it.
 The wind's hand that grows from death size fuses the two... Ray's magical powers make the tornado of wind and flame grow explosively.
 That's the kind of fire whirlwind that cuts everything with the blade of the wind and destroys it with flames.

"Ugh..."

 The moment a fire whirlwind is created, a violent hot blast hits Ray and Seto.
 The resulting fire whirlwinds eventually start to move toward Dragonia's home base, as Ray had intended.

"Well, how does it move? No, I don't know what to do before that. Seto, let's go to the sky."
"Guru".

 Seto was probably expecting what Ray would say.
 Crouch down quickly and show that you ride towards Ray.
 With Ray on his back, Seto runs up into the sky in a few steps.
 and... viewed from above, the fire whirlwind's light reflected the home of Dragonius.
 Basically, it is impossible to build a house or hut because of the Dragonius, which is dominated by hunger.
 I was just lying on the ground and sleeping, so I could see the light of the fire whirlwind.
 Of course, the moon is floating in the sky without a cloud, and Ray and Seto's ability to see at night also has an effect.

(Don't you notice? ... Is it because you're acting on instinct? No, if you're living on instinct, you can move right away.)

 Ray thinks that if he's acting on instinct, he'll feel his life is in danger and start moving right away, but Dragonius's movement is slow.
 Still, some noticed the movement of the fire whirlwind and could be seen moving.
 At any rate, it's definitely Ray's luck that he's slow.There was a possibility that he could not move quickly as soon as he got up, as his lower body was like a lizard's, and his upper body looked like a lizard's, but Ray was lucky.
 Meanwhile, the fire whirlwind swallowed Dragonius.
 At first, there are a few, and then a dozen... before long, dozens.
 Swallow and burn down Dragonius one after another.

"And this, too,"

 Closer to the fire whirlwind, Ray throws a stream of barrels from Mystery.
 What's in the barrel is what Ray has bought at a low price from an armory or blacksmith's shop.
 Inside are daggers and long swords with missing points, as well as various other blades.
 A man who came to the arms store threw away weapons that were no longer in use, a failed work of weapons made by a blacksmith... and pieces of knives collected for a variety of other reasons.
 Fragments of such a knife are swallowed up by the fire whirlwind.
 In the fire whirlwind, it becomes a sharp blade and cuts through Dragonius' body.
 Alternatively, the heat of the fire whirl blows away the molten metal and burns the body of the nearby Dragonius.
 Nevertheless, the fire whirlwind gradually increased the damage done to Dragonius.
 Nothing remains where the fire whirlwind has passed, as if with an eraser.

"Yes, Dragonius, who has red scales, has been damaged for some reason."

 Dragonias with red scales are certainly not burned by the flames of the fire whirlwind.
 However, just because you are safe from the flames, it doesn't mean that you are unharmed.

 Ray's body is torn apart by a fragment of a blade thrown by him, or his body is hit hard by a fire whirlwind, and his bones are broken by the impact... it causes a series of, if not as much damage as the flames.
 However, since the number of Dragonias is the number, there is no doubt that it was badly damaged by the fire whirlwind, but it was not the damage that would destroy the entire Dragonias.

"Seto, stay away from the fire whirlwind. I want to create a few more fire whirlwinds."
"Guru?"

 "Is it okay?" That's how it makes my voice growl.
 Ray nods that he doesn't mind.
 I can't say for sure that if the enemy to be defeated was a human being, there would be no need for more than one fire whirlwind, but there should have been no need to worry about it.
 However, in this case, it is different.
 In the first place, Dragonius himself is so talented that he can't compare himself with ordinary people.
 They are killing Dragonius at a considerable rate now, but there are still some Dragonius who are still alive, even though they suffer damage that a normal human being could have done. ...although, of course, it has been damaged accordingly.
 However, the only thing that remains is Dragonius, who has red scales that can withstand the flames, and the rest of Dragonius, who died of the flames.
 But... what if the red-scaled Dragonius, who manages to survive now, gets caught up in the fire whirlwind again?
 It was obvious without even thinking about it.





"...I'm a little tired."

 Ray looks from above Seto's back to the earth, exhaling.
 The number of fire whirlwinds currently rampaging there is... 10.
 Tornadoes, clad in as many as ten flames and stocked with metal fragments, are going back and forth all over and over again.
 Touch it and you'll die.
 Even if you go near, you will die of that heat.
 Such a fire whirlwind exists in large numbers and is moving around.
 Moreover, even Ray, who created it for some reason, does not understand, but the fire whirlwinds do not blend into each other even if they bump into each other.
 It's like a begoma.
 Dragonius and others had already gotten out of the state of waking up, and were in a state of panic.
 Of course, if there are ten fire whirlwinds, you can't escape anywhere.

"Maybe because of hunger, I don't seem to be running away from a certain range. Are you sure you're hungry?"

 Ten fire whirlwinds.
 That would be a hopeless threat to Dragonius.
 However, there are no walls around, and they are not confined separately.
 Generally speaking, Dragonius, which is close to the outside of the fire whirlwinds, can escape from there.
 Nevertheless, there is no Dragonius trying to get out of the range, although he is running around within that range.
 What on earth happened and what happened?
 I'm interested, but now I prefer to destroy Dragonius rather than my own.

"By the way, shall we make it a little more lively?"

 Ray starts casting spells with death size in his hand.

"Fire, with my magical powers as the source of power, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain."

 Along with the spell, many... arrows made of flames are produced around Ray, which makes it disgusting to count.
 The number is about five hundred.
 Those who see it will feel nothing but despair.
 With such a blazing arrow floating around...Ray invokes magic.

"""Fire arrows falling down!"""

 At the same time, the five hundred flaming arrows rained down upon the earth.
