Seto was galloping through the night forest in the moonlight.The Gryphon, of both the Eagle and the Lion of the Sky and the King of the Beast, was the Eagle's upper body, and yet Seto's blue eyes, relying on the faint moonlight, tramped dangerously on the ground, as if they were cutting through the wood of the night.
　Ray, who straddles Seto's back, is impressed by the way he looks, but he caresses his neck and offers the few remaining clara berries at his mouth.

"Glu".

　While running in the woods, he sings happily in the back of his throat and chews with a stick.

"If Zepyle's knowledge was correct, he should have gone out of the woods a long time ago."

　Ray muttered and checked the surroundings, but the forest seemed to be still going on.

(In a few hundred years, the forest will expand to this extent? Well, it's a magical world, and maybe that much.)

　I can't stop some bad feeling from passing through my heart, even though I mutter in my heart.
　As if to ignore this bad feeling, he pats Seto's neck and talks to her.

"But Seto is amazing.I've been running all morning, and I don't look tired at all."
"Glu".

　Maybe Ray complimented her and made her feel better, or Seto speeds up even more.
　with a wry smile, and a Gryphon admired his unconventional physical ability.
　for since Cet began running he has never been attacked by demons or beasts.To be precise, he encountered monkeys with three eyes, boars with fangs of about 50 centimeters, and rabbits with blades in their ears.But none of them could catch up with Seto, who was running at high speed in the woods.
　Ray wanted to fight against demons, not just beasts like wolves, in order to gain combat experience, to understand the specifications of his body, and to secure magical stones to encourage the growth of his set and death size.
　but, knowing from the battle with wolves that once he had begun to fight with the demons, he would have to fight with the other demons and beasts that had been caught by them, he now had Sett run through the forest with his first priority.

"Grunt!"

　At that moment, the set suddenly made a sharp sound, and Ray felt as if he were on guard.

"Seto, are you the enemy?"
"Glu".

　A short song for Ray's words.
　But in Ray's eyes, moonlight alone cannot find his enemies.
　Still, in order to fight back at any time, he pulled out a misril knife from the sheath he had attached to his waist.

"Grunt!"

　Seth, who was running continuously, turned sharply to the left.At the same time something rushed out of the darkness.

"Phew!"

　While clapping his tongue, he reflexively receives something as if he were protecting himself with a dragon lobe.
　What was unfortunate for Ray was that the enemy attacked him from the left.If the attack came from the right, Ray, a right-handed man, could intercept with a misril knife.On the other hand, I was lucky because the person I bumped into was unexpectedly small.That saved me from falling off Seto's back.

"Geez!"

　Something wrapped in dragon robes screams.He immediately picked up the misril knife he had in his right hand, grabbed the opponent entangled in the dragon lobe on the left, and brought it before him."Is this wasabi?"

　At first glance, it looks like a squirrel, but there is something like a film between its hands and feet.So far, it's the same as the musabi that Ray knows.The difference is the tail, which is supposed to have a rough, squirrel-like tail, which is hardened and looks like a blade.
　Fortunately, however, the tail of its characteristic blade did not reach here because it gripped the body from the front side.

"Geez!"

　He threatens Ray, who is holding his body, with his tusks exposed.The tusks growing from the mouth are about three centimeters, which is small from a ray's point of view, but they are more than enough for a 15-centimeter-long blade.
　Since he had no time to explore Zepyle's knowledge in this situation, he broke his neck with his right hand while holding his body with his left hand.After confirming the death, I put it in a mistling.

"Gruly!"

　Again, Seto sings with a sharp.Now, pick up a misril knife holding a blade rust from overhead in your mouth and stab it!
　While slightly frowning at the sensation of stabbing meat with a knife, he pulled the body of the blade rust out of the knife and went to Mistilling.
　A few minutes later.He stabbed a blade of musabi, which came from all over the trees and bushes, with a knife, caught it with his left hand, crushed it, and cut it to death with his sharp beak, with the claws of an eagle.But the serfs attacked their comrades regardless of how much they were killed, and each time they increased the number of dead bodies.

"d*mn it! There's no end to it!"

　A flash of Misril's knife in the air, already familiar.The blade rust, which is divided into two upper and lower parts, falls to the ground and passes backward in no time.
　I was thinking about whether I should prepare myself for a large-scale fire and burn the whole area with fire magic.

"Gurling!"

　Listen to Seto's voice as if it were attracting attention and look at him.Then, beyond his sight, he saw that the trees, which had grown so thick, had finally been cut off.

"Exit,"

　With a sigh of relief, he thrusts a misril knife into the body of a blade rust from a tree growing beside him, and when he dies, he puts it in a misrilting.

"Set, now that we've come this far, we can fly.Put the blade wasabi together at once.Go!"
"Ringling!"

　It screams high as if it were OK, and spreads out loud and wide the wings that had been folded up until now.The wing was nearly two meters in size on one side alone.
　As for the run-up, the speed has already been sufficiently high since it has been running up to here.At that speed, he flapped his wings wide... a few seconds after he kicked the ground and felt floating, he was standing on a tree growing in the forest.
　The moon shone in the night sky without a cloud, shining the moonlight on the ground.In such a night sky, Seto flies with his wings flapping wide.Night may have something to do with it, but there is nothing else in the night sky but Seto and Ray.The sight, which was just like their own private loan, made Ray realize once again that this is a different world.
　However, such time does not last long.

"Ringling!"

　A set that screams sharply as if to watch out for something.When Ray hears the voice, he quickly recovers consciousness and observes the surroundings sharply.

"...what?"

　Looking around, Ray saw countless shadows, shadows and shadows emerging from the forest, just like Seto.There is only moonlight, so I can't figure out the exact number, but it still makes me think there will be around 100.
　I almost reflexively understood what he was after when I saw the size of the shadow.Yes, it was definitely a sword rust that had been aiming at them until just now.

(It was common sense for me to only glide from a high place, but I didn't know I could fly on my own... as expected, fantasy, but we've already left the forest.In other words, there is no need to worry about fire as before.I will be sure to thank you for chasing me about so far.

　Take the death size out of the mistling and be careful not to bump into the wing of Seto, who is flapping his wings.It's only been about two days since he was reborn as Ray's body.and if it was his first time flying on the back, it would be his first time holding a death-size position on the back.If you hurt Seto's wings by swinging his death size badly, and if you crash to the ground from this height, it is very unlikely that you will be saved.
　Unlike previous forests, the sword of about one meter in size is pointed at a group of sword rusts chasing the set, instead of a handle, and a spell is recited.
　Even though it's not already in the woods, it doesn't change that this is the sky above the forest.In other words, while the magic used here is destructive to a wide area, its effect must be confined to a limited area above the forest.

'Fire, dance, dance.Light up your surroundings with your splendid dance, and fascinate the wandering with your beautiful dance.'

　While chanting spells, the range of effects of magic is specified, and the last keyword is spoken.

"Dancing Flame"

　And the world that has been rewritten by Ray's magical powers shows up.
　Dozens or hundreds of human-sized flames appear and move freely through the night sky, and the bright, shining flames moving through the air with their surroundings lit up was certainly a dance by flames.The sword rusts in the ball of fire continue to resist desperately, but even if they use their proud blade-like tail or peel off their sharp tusks, the flames will not have any effect, and the burnt-out body falls into the forest.Some of them tried to escape into the forest, judging that they were not their match, but most of them were caught up in the flames that were moving in the sky and burned up in an instant and turned into charcoal.Still, some of them were lucky enough to escape from Ray's designated range of magic effects and escape into the woods without looking aside.
　It's been a few minutes since I used magic.There is no sword rust in the moonlight-lit night sky, and when Ray clicks his finger lightly, the flame that appears through magic disappears as if it had been there until now.All that remained was Ray, who had fluttered his wings and straddled his back.

"Glu".

　Ray, who was looking at fireworks in the flames flying in the night sky, was brought back to his senses by Seto's voice.

"I'm sorry, I was stunned.... well, first of all, move a little way out of the woods.Then let's take a rest."
"Grunt!"

　Cet's screams echoed high in the night sky, where up to a few minutes ago the rust and flames were flying, and he left the forest with his wings fluttering.
　On the way, he suddenly became curious about the sword rust and searched for knowledge of Zepail, but there was no information like Mizukuma.

"(What's going on? Even though there's a blank for hundreds of years, there's no information after the water bear."Is this by any chance...)

　There was a bad feeling in Ray's chest, but as for the doubt, he determined that it would be impossible to do anything about it, and instead of storing the Death Size in the Mistilling, he took out one of the dead rust blades.
　At the same time, he cut off the blade with a misril knife, which was attached to his right waist, and found a magical stone about a few centimeters in its heart.

"The devil,"

　Ray recalls the battle just now.At that time, Seto had eaten up a considerable number of wasabi blades.In that case, the magic stone should have been absorbed by Seto, but I didn't remember the announcement message of skill acquisition.Just to be sure, I checked Set's skill, but the one displayed there was still no change.
　Feeling suspicious, Ray explores Zepyle's knowledge again.
　According to it, it seems that it is not always possible to acquire skills if magic stones are introduced into the body.In other words, the exception was the water bear, which could acquire water polo just by taking in a magical stone.
　Also, the fact that it seems that there is little point in taking in magical stones that are too low in ability.
