38 Episode 0038



The fight against the Oaks, led by the Oaks King, was almost as hard to describe.
 The scorching wind, led by Mireinu, who had said it was all it could do to hold out against five oaks, was lucky enough to upset the oaks by Ray's surprise attack, but the three of them still beat all five oaks.
 Ray also kills the Oak King, who literally has the dignity of the king, because he can't find a chance to use the magic of fire that he is best at, and ends up fighting only with death size.
 The one who was most dominant in this battle was Seto.It was almost a complete victory over Oak Archer.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

 A Mire Dog breathing hard before the bodies of the Oaks.Next to him, he continued to use magic to help him recover and attack, and Surnin, whose magical powers were almost empty, sat down on the ground.
 The most energetic of all the scorching winds was, unexpectedly, the most newcomer, Eclir.He is sweating on his forehead, but he is watching his surroundings without breathing.
 However, this is due to the division of roles within the party.In a blazing wind, party leader Mileine is in charge of the avant-garde alone, Sulnin is in charge of attack, recovery, assistance and magic, and Eclil is in charge of keeping the enemy in check.

"Well won.Before the battle, I think they said they would do their best to hold out against five of them.
`Huh...huh...huh...huh.Well, no matter how strong the lay is, the adventurer of Rank G is even with the Oak King... ...and now that you're talking about it, you've had a head-on fight with the Oak King of Rank B monsters, but you haven't had a scratch.I wonder if someone like you will reach Rank S in the future.Anyway.I'm afraid I can't tell you that we in Rank C can't beat you, even though you're the lowest ranked player here....I'm tired.Anyway, I'm tired.I'm so tired.I don't want to walk another step."

 Sulnin nods to the words of the Mileine, as if he were in agreement with them.

"We're still a fairly well-known party.That's why we have to perform as well as our popular name."
"...because,"

 Eclir nodded with a slight smile, even though he was wary of the surroundings around him.
 The moment Ray was about to say something about it.

`Oh, oh, oh,

 A shout came from the east of the village.

"Did they decide the game?"

 Yes, I have just heard a cry of triumph.I couldn't make a mistake in hearing that voice mixed with joy.

"Well, Oak King has come over here, and that must have been an abandoned piece for them to escape."
"Even if it were abandoned pieces, most of the surviving pieces in this village were allocated to them, so that's exactly what Oak King was all about."

 If they had increased their guards and reduced the number of troops in the direction of the movement, naturally the troops in the direction of the movement would have lost strength and would have been destroyed much earlier.Oakking, who had many guards, was easily found by the members of the punitive force because he stood out.

"...well, at any rate, this is the end of our request to put down the Oaks."
"Well... it was a tired request.Well, if you leave it alone, the city of Gillum will surely be damaged, so it can't be helped."

 With a wry smile on his side, Ray puts the bodies of Oak Mage, Oak General, and Oak King that he and Seto have knocked down in a mistling.
 The men, who were watching the scene with great interest, called out to Ray, where Oak King's corpse had been stored.

"Well, I've seen it from afar a few times, but I've never seen it so close.Is that an item box?"
"Yes, I got it separately from the magician, but it was not until I came to the town of Gilm that it was rare."
"I can't believe I'm a disciple, but I want to give him such magic items... I want to see him once."
"Well, I had never cared about where I lived before I was given the transfer magic. I don't even know where my teacher's house is, so it would be a bit difficult to introduce myself."
"Well,"The voice suddenly interrupts the conversation between Sulnin and Ray.Ray turned his eyes to the Lord of the Voice, and his eyes met that of the Mire Dog, who was looking at him with mystified eyes.

"What's the matter?"
"I know Ray and Seto are going to collect the top oak that they've knocked down, but why aren't they collecting the oak?"

 The dead body of Oak Archer, whose head was crushed by a set, lies ahead of the eyes of the Mire Dog.The top species of oak...however, unlike the C-ranked monsters Oak General and Oak Mage, Oak Archer is a D-ranked monster like Oak.Even so, it is a superior species of oak, and it is possible to peel off some types of internal organs and specific parts of skin, and the magic stone is one of the most expensive D-rank monsters.
 Staring at the words of the Mire Dog, Ray opens his mouth.

"Do you remember talking before the battle with the Oaks?"
"Why, all of a sudden.Of course I remember.Instead of using Ray and Sett's trump cards to help us, you're using the magic of pledge, aren't you?"

 He answered the question with a quick glance that only Seto could understand.
 While the three of them listen to Ray's words with great interest, Seto goes around behind him with no sign.

"Yes, and since it's the magic of covenant, I think there are a lot of things that burden you.The price... is like that."
"...that is, the magic of the covenant is such a dangerous magic?"
"Of course, if you don't tell my secret to others, there's no danger at all.But don't you feel so good about being bound like that, though the magic of covenant has some merit for you?"
"Benefits?"
"Yes, because of the magical nature of the covenant, those who have used this magic will gain some resistance to fire and heat."
"...that's fine. It's no use talking about it now, and most importantly, it's a life that would have been lost without the Ray's.Do it right away before you lose your mind.Sulnin, Eclir, are you all right?"

 The Mire Dog breathes deeply and announces that he will accept the magic of his oath.Sulnin was silent, and Eclir nodded, with some twitching in his cheeks.
 Seeing the three, Ray gives Seto a light signal.
 If the members of the scorching wind did not like to be under the spell of the pledge, Seto would have attacked them from behind.
 Seeing Ray's signal, Set finally comes to war and is wary of attacks by the remnants of the Oak.

"Here we go,"

 When he sees Mireine nodding to Ray's words, he begins to chant a spell.

'Flame, thyself is a seed.When the host breaks his contract with us, use his life to bloom the beautiful flamboyant flowers.'

 With Ray's spell, the flames gather into a death size and are compressed to the size of a flower seed.
 He lifted up the death-size handle and brought it into contact with the head of the dog.

"The seeds of commandment"

 and, as soon as the spell is completed, the seeds of flame on the death-size handle slip into the head of the Miredog.

"Oh..."

 The Mire Dog screamed at the sensation, but there was no shock what he had expected, and he just felt something faintly warm coming into him.

"Oh, is that all right.

 He muttered in spite of the situation, but in answer to the question Ray nodded a little."All right, so are the other two."

 and use the same magic for Sulnin and Ekryl.
 Then Ray uses a warning spell against the three and exhales softly.

"That's all right, and I'll give you a detailed explanation of the magic of the moment, but be careful what you say and do, because Set's firebreath, water polo, and the seeds planted in you will burn up your body if you try to teach others about my corrosion by any means."

 The image of Oak General, who had just been killed unilaterally, came to mind in a blazing wind.
 Oak General, a Rank C monster, screamed shamelessly at the pain.Even if you don't like it, you can understand how painful it is.

"And, as I said before, that kind of influence makes you resistant to fire and heat."
"Well, what exactly does it feel like?"

 Mileine forces Oak General to disappear from his mind and asks Ray.

"Well... reduce the damage to the flame system by about 10%, and this only benefits people who can use magic, but it increases the power of using fire magic by about 10%, and reduces the magical power consumed by about 10%.Well, to put it simply, it's the benefit of fire."
"10 percent?"

 When Sulnin heard Ray's explanation, he muttered dumbly.
 Because Sulnin is a wizard, I was able to honestly understand how much the benefits were.There are magic items that increase the power of magic, but if you buy them for a few white gold coins, you can't understand the power that has increased by yourself.As you can see, when it comes to magic items that increase magic power, you will need to pay in gold coins.
 In addition to that, it also comes with resistance to things like flames and heat.For Sulnin, who had no intention of telling the secrets of Rey or Seto to others, the magic of the precept used now was nothing but a blessing.

"I understand about magic.Of course I don't mean to spread the word about it, so I'll take it for granted that I'm lucky to receive the seeds of caution, and can I really get the Oak Archer here?"
"I don't mind, then, I'll go to the Hitotsubbs.If we don't report the defeat of Oak King, we won't be able to finish our request."
"Yes, please.We're tired, so we're going to take a break and join you know.

 He nodded to the words of the Miredog and straddled Seto's back.

"Oh, I'd like you to leave Seto alone, if possible.for my healing."
"Don't push yourself too hard, Miredog,"

 Sulnin stares at Mireneu, who turns to Seto regretfully.and watched it with a wry smile.

"Glu".

 A little cry in the back of her throat, and a few tail wags at her.

"Millainu, Seto wants to play again later."

 Ray translates from Seto's attitude and talks to Mireinu.
 There was no sign of his intention to attack from behind if he had escaped from the seeds of warning.

"What? Really? Yeah. Let's have a drink before we leave.We still have dried meat."

 and, listening to the joyful voice of the Mire Dog, he began to ascend to the night sky for the first time today.





"Dawn,"What Ray saw as he rose above was the gradual fading of the darkness of the night by the rising sun from the east.

"After all, they kept fighting all night.Well, he seems to be still doing well down there."

 As might be said, he was an adventurer, but he did not seem to be able to stand up all night, and even now, he seems to be looking around the village to hunt down the remnants of the oak with the axe of the god of thunder, who had defeated the active troops.
 He found oaks hidden in several places and fought, but they were already outnumbered.The Oaks, who attack as if they were the last resistance, are killed one after another.
 It may seem that they are doing terrible things when they hear that they are hunting for remnants, but this is a necessary measure.Oaks use human women as the mother of breeding, so if you let them run away with unnecessary mercy, they are likely to cause damage to the streets of Gilm.The closest place to this is the town of Gilm.
 He glanced at the ground where such a remainer hunt was taking place, and then signaled Seto to the place where Bobbs was waiting.
 Elk, who saw Sett moving away from the village, was instinctively convinced that the existence of the Oaks had been overthrown by Ray and Sett.





 A short distance from the oak settlement, Bobbs looked up at the brightening sky.
 In a carriage a short distance from Bobbs, two women who had been rescued from being caught in an oak hamlet were sleeping like death.At last they knew they had been rescued from under the oak, and their tiredness burst out at once.Another reason is that Bobbs made him drink tea that relaxed him so that he wouldn't remember when he was caught in an oak.

"...that smoke must have been burning in the village, so you can see that the night attack was a success.and if anything unexpected happens, he'll come and let me know."

 Bobbs, originally an adventurer, was accustomed to waiting.He waited on the spot believing in those who joined the punitive force, even though his bad thoughts slowly occurred to his mind.
 Of course, in case of emergency, he had a spear in his hand, which he loved when he was an adventurer.for the oaks who had escaped from the hamlet might not come here.
 Bobbs, looking at the oak village in such a state, looked around as if he had heard something... and saw Seto flying slowly through the morning glow and Ray straddling his back with a small smile, convinced of the success of the night attack.
