Me and Ray chanted at the same time.

"'A un rena,'

　He fills his body with Chi Gong and gives it a full status boost from the start.
　With that state, you'll charge into Alpha Fort.

　All four of the forts to the north of Kilomitsu are surrounded by high hull walls.
　Ray and I run straight for the outer wall, running as fast as we can.
　Suddenly - the ground beneath our feet is shaded.

　From beyond the towering outer walls, an even taller, one-eyed giant swiftly emerged!

'Oh, that's the Cyclops!　It's really big!
Level 30 boss monster. Is now the time to wrap your tail around it, Ray?
You've got to be kidding!

　While we're talking about it, I'm the first to move.
　Using the special effect of the shoes of the General's Demon Storm, I kicked the air with both feet that kicked the earth and rose. It's as if I'm running up an invisible staircase to reach the top of the outer wall.
　It's dressed just as the giant face of a cyclops, standing right in front of its eyes and nose.

'UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

　I guess I'm too much of an eyesore. Cyclops' single eye flared up in anger.
　As it is, he raises his right arm high in the air.
　He does it with a huge body that could surpass an outer wall. The fist part was really over fifteen meters above the ground.

　This is the reason why I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.
　The fist with its excessive force strikes the outer wall, smashing it and bringing part of the wall down with enough destructive power to make it collapse.
　If I'd eaten it properly, I wouldn't have been able to survive either.
　But I used the martial arts skill Shrinkage, which can be learned at level 27, to evade it. With a speed that was almost as if it were an instantaneous movement, I was running from right to left on the outer wall, escaping the range of the Cyclops' blows.

''Ray!''
Yes, sir!

　Part of the outer wall had collapsed due to Cyclops' angry striking down.
　Thanks to this, Rey is able to get into the fort through it.
　He also dived into Cyclops' crotch and attacked him from underneath his feet.

''Rainbow Rush!

　The Warrior of Light's unique skill of granting the seven attributes of seven consecutive blows is a nonsensical description of the Warrior of Light's unique skill.
　Moreover, the weapon wielded was the Black Claymore, which was also a unique skill, the Armor Purification, which only emphasized its merits.
　The synergistic effect of the two unique skills was undeniably powerful.

　Moreover, the Cyclops was too big to defend himself, and there was no way to dodge it.
　The one-eyed giant was torn to shreds by Rey on his right calf, and he could no longer stand. He mangled, causing a ridiculous amount of ground-shaking.

'Magnus!'
Yes, sir.

　Me and Ray pinned Cyclops, who was stuck on his buttocks, from both sides.
　Cyclops waved his hands in annoyance and tried to batter us away, but alas!　I can't get on any speed or power at the moment when I'm dressed on my butt. It's not scary.

　On the contrary, Cyclops can't dodge our attacks anymore.
　They can deliver a massive move as they please.

Haha!
Judgment.

　It's a very tough monster, but Rei and I have been cutting down on its huge amount of HP.

　　　　◇◆◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇.

　After killing Cyclops, we marched into Fort Bravo without a moment's pause.

　Unlike Alpha Fort, there were numerous small fry monsters waiting there to defend themselves.
　With the gates tightly shut, humanoid monsters such as kobolds and goblins lined up on the outer walls, shooting bows and arrows, and lesser salamanders, spark spirits and others bombarded us with breath (breath).

　However, no matter how many of them are less than level 10, they can't hit me or Ray, no matter how many of them are lined up. Occasionally we are lucky enough to hit them, but this time they don't do any real damage.
　Not to mention we were up to level 29, having killed the Cyclops.

　We made it to the gate in no time at all.

Haha!
Hot Air Sword!

　I'm going to use the Ukigak Rinse to crush the gate with a powerful body blow, crushing it to pieces.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

"Ko-ko-ko-ko-ko-ko, Tsuyosugir!
Tattafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafuttafutta!
"Marde Kingu Bajirisu Samano Yoda!
'Niggaero!　Kachimehanai!

　The demons who feared the military might of the two of us are running away like a receding tide.
　But we can't let our guard down.
　Because instead, a large lizard demon appeared from behind the fort.

'It's coming, Ray. That's the King Basilisk.
Level 31?
Yeah. You'll be on your way.

　Once you reach level 30, the monsters become more and more annoying and disgusting, with the King Basilisk being the best example.
　The blood that runs through its body is made of "deadly poison", and if it were to accidentally receive blood back, it would cause massive damage.
　Furthermore, he also has the evil eye of petrification, so he must always be careful when activating it. If he shows any signs of focusing on the evil eye, he must immediately unfocus his gaze or he will be turned into a living stone statue.

Swordwave!
Haha!

　Ray unleashes a long-range attack that can be described as a sword wave.
　As a Level 29 Martial Artist, I'm using the Hundred Paces Shinken Fist, which I've just learned. This is another attack skill that uses the Life Attribute's shockwave to hit enemies at a distance.

　We fought back with only long-range attacks so that we wouldn't get blood back.
　Naturally, the king basilisk is furious and rushes at us, but we run around and don't let it come near us.
　It's an uncool composition, but I don't care. The humans aren't good at fighting so much as they are at pretending to be boss monsters.

　That's why we'll stick to the strategy we discussed beforehand.
　Instead of attacking from a distance, we would concentrate our attacks on the King Basilisk's four limbs.
　This will allow Ray's Sword Wave to slice off his right foreleg and my Hundred Pacesmanship to crush his left hind leg.
　It takes away his ability to move, completely blocking his approach.

　But I haven't won yet.
　The evil eye of the King Basilisk is coming........!

Ray!
Okay!

　The huge lens-shaped object that Ray was carrying on his back was held up like a shield.
　It's the loot (drop item) you just acquired at Alpha Fort - the Cyclops' Eye.
　King Basilisk is in a standoff with this huge eye.

　As a result, the Cyclops' Eye shatters.
　At the same time, the magical power of its own evil eye was reflected in the king basilisk, and in an instant it turned into a stone statue.

　We smashed the statue into pieces with a good dose of caution, and this time we were victorious.

　　　　◇◆◇◆◇

'How brilliant of you to slaughter a cyclops and a king basilisk on the part of a vulnerable human!

　The Greater Demon guarding Fort Charlie laughed loudly and arrogantly at us.

'But I don't want this Gerenbez to be lumped in with those rascals, do I?

　That's probably the name of the individual. A certain Geren said, "Vahahahahahaha! And I keep laughing hysterically.
　Well, it's not a big statement.
　In fact, the Demon race is powerful compared to its level, and this guy, who is a higher species (Greater), is level 34.
　The most powerful individual among the boss monsters guarding the Four Forts is undoubtedly this one.

It's a good thing that you're here!　Give this Gerenbez the honor of a hand-to-hand strike!

　A certain Geraint welcomed us with open arms, as if to say, "I'll let you have a shot at it.
　It's a generous attitude, as if to say, "I'll let you have a shot at least," as if to commemorate the occasion.
　It's a good thing that we've taken the time to do this, so Ray is going to let me stab him with my dusky sword.

"Vahahaha, is that the cursed great sword?　To be able to wound this Gerenbez, I saw that it was a considerable demonic sword that was too good for humanity to possess. After slaughtering all of you, this--Gebovahaa!

　A certain Gehlen, who had been proudly talking, suddenly coughed up blood.
　He spat out a great deal of blue-black blood and couldn't stop.

''What!　What did you do, human-n-n-n-n!
No, you can just smear Ray's Black Claymore with some poison.
Poison?　That's not going to work on this Gerenbez, the Greater Demon!
Is that what the King Basilisk is for?
!

　A certain Geren did a dexterous job of making the blue-black demon's skin pale further.

　That's right, we had collected the Drop Items from the forelimbs of the slashed King Basilisk at Fort Bravo.

''Vaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

　With a scream of demise, Geren Certain perished.
　It doesn't matter if it's a level 34 or a higher species (Greater), it doesn't make sense if it's stupid like this.
　It could have been the Eugene or Eldora of the Demon world.

　　　　◇◆◇◆◇

　After defeating King Basilisk and Greater Demon in a row, Ray and I were at level 31.
　I was prepared for the fact that I wouldn't be able to get any from a certain Deren, but my fears were unfounded (after everything that happened). He spit out a huge amount of experience before he passed away.

　We've finally hit the 30 level.
I've long since broken through the ranks of wizards, and aside from me, who is on the verge of reaching the 40s, Ray has finally reached a level where he is on par with the greats of legend.
　I'm proud of you for following me this far.
　There was no doubt in my mind that my prospects were good.
　I'm so glad to hear that, it's like a personal matter.

"That leaves us with the Goblin Wargod of Fort Delta.
Yeah. He's only level 26.
All the goblins under your command will be raised to a higher level, right?　I'll be careful.
Well, I guess I don't have much to say to you.

　We didn't get tired of the consecutive battles and immediately headed for Fort Delta.
　Then, unlike Bravo and Charlie, there were no defensive monsters lined up on the outer wall, and there was no resistance from flying tools.
　We managed to destroy the gate and break inside the fort.

''M........''
What?

　I scowled at the look inside, and Ray was dismayed.

　So--
　Fort Delta had become an empty shell.
