"The hand of the wind, you know.I've got another strange skill."

　Ray mutters in spite of the mere announcement in his mind, and invokes what he calls wind-hand skills rather than argument.
　Then you can feel a tentacle-like thing growing from the death size.
　Yes, I can feel it.It's not like you can see it with your eyes.Ray does not normally have the ability to sense the magic of others, but the reason he could sense the tentacles woven by the magic of the wind is because they were created using his own magic.Maybe it's because it's via Death Size.
　Anyway, I could feel the presence of tentacles made of colorless, transparent winds.

"I think the name of the wind tentacles is more appropriate than the wind tentacles."

　Move the tentacles extending from the death size while tilting their necks, and touch the tip of the tentacles to a dead tree about 30 cm in size on the ground.
　Then the next moment, the dead tree touched by the tentacles is lifted into the air by the wind as if it were following Ray's will.

"... I see.Certainly, considering the effectiveness, the name of the skill of the wind hand may not be that strange."

　After that, Ray finally understands most of the performance of his wind-hand skills.In other words, invisible tentacles made of wind are extended to touch the object.and it is possible to interfere with the objects touched by the wind.It was an invisible hand made by the wind.

"But..."

　Suddenly, he threw a stone that had fallen close to him with the wind reaching out.and though the stone had touched the tentacles of the wind's hand, it slipped through without resistance and flew to the other side.

"Of course, the only thing that functions as a hand is the tip of the tentacles, and the so-called arm parts are not effective.And..."

　It was impossible to extend the wind's hand as far as possible, as the limit was about 100 meters.

"Will it be possible to increase the distance if the skill level goes up? No, it will be impossible if it's too much as I'm using it while checking it with my eyes."

　Putting the windy hand back to hand, and then reach out to the falling stone.

"And the wind that can be manipulated by the tip of the wind's hand is determined by a certain amount, and it can't be manipulated by such a strong wind, perhaps because of Lv.1. Well, since it's powerful enough to lift a fist-sized stone, it's absolutely powerful... power? No, in this case, power is so important.If you combine Seto's skills...

　He muttered as he nodded, hurriedly storing the material and meat of the emerald wolf before him in a mistling, and at the same time throwing a magical spark into a hole containing the internal organs he had treated, burning it up, and burying it in the ground.

"Grull?"

　"Do you like other emerald wolfs?" Cett asks.

"Yes, there's something I'd rather try than try.If I put him in the mystery ring, the flow of time would stop, so I'll do it when I have time to spare for the emerald wolf.Set, but I'm going to move a little wider, because I've done something I'd like to try."

　She straddles Seto's back in a hurry, unlike Ray's usual.

"Seto, for the time being, find a place of grass or wasteland on the whole side by side."
"Grull? Grull!"

　He leaned his head a little, but soon realized what Ray was looking for.After a short cry, the wings flap after a few steps of running.and rose as if kicking through the sky, reaching a height of more than a dozen meters in a matter of seconds.
　If you reach that height and look around from the sky, you'll find a green carpet.Even the grasslands seemed to shine reflecting the sun, thanks to the sunshine that could be said to be clear in autumn.At the same time, it's probably wild animals, monsters, or adventurers who are being asked to do something about it.It was conceivable to Ray that he had traveled more than a day's walk from the city of Gillum, and that he was probably quite a skilled adventurer.
　Well, it's only about an hour away from the city of Gilm."When I think about it, I'm blessed with mobility and light footwork."
"Glu?"

　Seto turns his head towards Ray, flapping his wings.
　I'll stroke him around his neck with a smile on his face.

"No, it's nothing.I just want to say that I'm always saved by the presence of Seto."
"Gurgling!"

　It's more than ten minutes to sing happily and enjoy a walk in the sky.Fortunately, he is not attacked by monsters of the kind who fly in the sky, and he safely reaches the surface of the wasteland as Ray hoped.

"...yes, it's nice here.It's the best place to experiment."

　Ray lands on the ground, looks around him, nods satisfactorily.
　The surrounding area should be described as a wasteland, and there are no grasslands that had spread over the area until a short time ago.I wonder if he had just said that he could finally see the meadow after walking a few hours.

"First of all... well, Seto.I'm going to use magic now, so try to put it on top of the magic and activate the tornado.And if you activate your skills, it's dangerous, so I'm going to leave."
"Gruly!"

　After listening to Seto's reply, he takes out Death Size, which is also a magical engine, from Mistilling.

"'Fire, manifest thy blazing force as a whirlpool,'

　As he chants a spell, a condensed flame appears on the death-size handle.Since it is still in the experimental stage, magic itself is not contained much.However, it was a commentary that Ray was the only one, and it contained magical power that could be said that it was the best of ordinary wizards.
　Then, when the spell is complete and the flame condenses, the death-size handle is shaken down wide!

"A whirlwind of fire!"

　The condensed flame released with the spell hits about 10 meters away, revealing the appearance of a tornado made of flames.However, the extent of the flames is limited only to tornadoes and surroundings, and the effective range is only a few meters.

(That's what happens, after all.but...)

　muttered inwardly, and turned his eyes to Seto.

"Set".
"Gurgling!"

　After listening to Ray's signal, he invokes the tornado as he is told.Seto and Ray then run backwards and distance themselves from each other to observe the consequences of their skills.
　Flame tornado and wind tornado.The two combined... but in the next moment they ate up the tornado as if the flames were burning the wind.

"...not at all right.
"Glu".

　She bowed her head, saying, "I'm sorry," but Ray scratched his head without showing any concern.

"Don't worry, it was only a profit if it worked out.If Seto's tornado had reached a higher level, it would have worked out as I expected, but at this level, it can't be helped."

(As far as I could see, the wind seemed to have been unilaterally eroded by the flames, for the flames and the wind were not well mixed.that is to say, if we somehow mix that unilaterally eroded...)

　muttered Ray in private.What Ray is trying to reproduce is what he calls a "fire whirlwind."Flames in a particular area consume air and take in surrounding air to create a local updraft, which in turn creates a tornado of flame called a fire whirlwind.The temperature of the wind accompanied by the fire whirlwind reaches 1,000 degrees Celsius, and the interior of the whirlwind reaches hundreds of meters per second.I tried to see if it could be reproduced with Tornado, Ray's magic and Seto skills, but the result was that the wind was eroded by flames, as Ray saw.

(My magic of fire is not enough to reproduce the fire whirlwind.That's why I thought it would be possible to use it with Sett's tornado... well, that's fine.I still have something to try.)"Seto, once again.However, I will try using the windy hand I just got in death size.I think this will increase your chances of success, so if you use your skills again, I'll keep your distance."
"Grull".

　Seto nods in Ray's voice.While watching it, he again spells with magic.

"'Fire, manifest thy blazing force as a whirlpool,'

　Then he swung his death-size and flew forward through a mass of flames that had gathered on his handle.

"A whirlwind of fire!"

　A tornado of flame that reappears.While looking at it, he holds his hands tightly and signals to Seto.

"Set!"
"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　As Seto screams, the wind tornado appears overlapping with the flame tornado, and Ray and Set, who are just as distant from each other.Then he grips the death-size and starts the windy hand.
　The tentacles woven by the magic of the wind grow from death size.The destination is of course a place where flames and wind tornadoes overlap.The fire created by Ray's magic seems to be more powerful and gradually erodes into a tornado of wind.And the moment I thought it was going to be a second time... the tip of the tentacles woven by the magic of the wind successfully came into contact with the flame and the wind, the two tornadoes.

"What!"

　At the moment of contact, Ray manipulates the magical power of the wind through Death Size and flows the magical power of the wind into a tornado of wind that is about to be eroded by flames.Gradually, the wind tornado pushed back the erosion of the flame tornado and expanded its size... seconds later, the two tornadoes, the flame and the wind, were in the same size, almost overlapping each other tornadoes were there.
　Then, the two tornadoes overlapped for a few seconds, and the next moment, the tornadoes were fused together to create a wind tornado with flames.In other words, Ray's fire whirlwind appears.At the same time.

"Slip!"
"Grunt!"

　Shortly after the two tornadoes merge into a fire whirlwind, intense hot air blows beneath Ray and Seto, which must have been 100 meters away.Ray immediately distanced himself even further with Sett.After about 500 meters away, the ambient temperature finally drops to the point where it feels a little hot.

"...you underestimated it a little.But can this be used as a destruction of a wide area?But it's too much trouble, isn't it?"

　Ray's own magic of fire.Seto's tornado and death-size windy hands.If you take three steps and it takes some time for a tornado of fire and wind to merge, you should think that you can hardly use it in the usual order of subjugation.If you keep a distance while the tornadoes merge, you'll get some damage, but you'll be able to avoid a fatal blow.

"""On the other hand, if you think about it, is it effective to damage slow-moving monsters or large monsters?"""

　He murmured softly at the end, watching the burning whirlwind with his set.

"For example, the army of the Vestian Empire,"

　Yes, it's a huge, slow-moving enemy, which is exactly what we see when we look at the human army as a living creature.Elena told me that the war against the Westian Empire was likely to take place next spring after the winter, and that one of the trump cards was that the current fire whirlwind could be used.Considering the indirect damage caused by the generation of high-temperature gas and flames around the dome, the range of effects is larger than that of "dancing flame," which can be used by Ray to attack enemies in the range, and it is suitable for dealing with a large number of enemies compared to "fire seiranmai," which destroys enemies in the dome by creating a translucent red dome.Moreover, unlike other magic tricks, fire whirlwinds occur for a very long time, perhaps because of the combined effects of multiple magic and skills.Even now, when we look at it apart, the tornado of fire still exists as if it were killing the people around it.

"There are still many things to be careful about, but... that's where you need to practice.Thanks to Seto, we succeeded in developing a very powerful offensive method.Thank you very much."
"Grull".

　She is complimented, stroked, and happy with her voice.
　Watching the scene, Ray watched it for about an hour before the fire whirlwind disappeared naturally, and then returned to the city of Gilm.
