418 Episode 0418



"In other words, walking in the desert like this is less exhausting if you walk near a mountain peak where sand has hardened to some extent. If you're an adventurer who's just arrived at this level, it's normal for you to get used to the desert environment first, but... well, not to mention you two of course. I'm moving normally on a desert plane."

 Walking through the desert, Pleiades utters the attention he needs to operate on the 11th basement.

"Also, it doesn't make much sense if you have an item box, but if you run out of water at this level, it would be fatal. However, the only alternative is the cactus that grows in the desert. There are poisonous cacti growing in ordinary deserts, but fortunately, all the cacti growing in the 11th basement level can be used for hydration."

 Otis, an archer, follows Pleiades' words and continues his words, lowering his voice.

"But you have to be careful about cacti from the 13th basement level. Monsters sometimes mimic cacti, so if you approach them carelessly, they will attack you indefensively."
"I don't want to get close to the cactus without it, though, because I have magic items like item boxes."

 Frown sulkily in the wind carrying desert sand, and wear the dragon lobe hood deeper to block the sun from shining with intense self-assertion.
 Ray's pocket is still full of yellow, but the cool environment and the rhythm of Ray's walking are comfortable. He curled himself up and fell asleep without any violence.

"It's an item box, isn't it? for I have seen them disappear instantly, and I can't help but believe them."

 Wizards Shahl interrupted Ray's words in an involuntary manner.
 Shahl was very surprised by the presence of Ray, Sett, and Elena, but after seeing the sandworm stored in the item box with his own eyes, his surprise was paralyzed or he had returned to normal.

"Well, actually, Ray's item box has helped him a lot."
"I guess so. In the first place, it's normal for a normal party to strip off the material of a fallen monster. It's impossible to copy three whole sandworms that are at least five meters long unless you're in a group of dozens of people with parties. Especially in this dungeon, the speed of movement is directly related to life and death."
"We usually have a porter, but that porter is not a specialist porter, but a warrior."

 Pleiades murmured, carrying the handle of his spear on his right shoulder.
 Even for themselves, it's a waste that they can't bring back all the materials that can be removed.

"No, but I'm glad I met Ray and Elena here." If we were the only ones today, we would have missed the Sandworm that we had knocked down because of our war potential."

 Yes, now, as Otis said, Ray and Elena were working with Pleiades' party.  
 The big reason is that the Pleiades side did not miss the Sandworm material as Otis said. The Lays accepted the offer because they were not much different in direction from the steps leading to the 12th basement, because they were given the Sandworms they couldn't bring home, and, above all, because they were given the information they needed to capture the desert hierarchy.

"And there are basically no traps in the desert hierarchy, so you can rest assured of that." That's why we haven't brought thieves today either."
"Well, that's a good piece of information. Both Ray and I have some confidence as warriors and wizards, but we are still not equal to our profession when it comes to traps."
"What? But how did you get down here? There's a pretty dangerous trap in the cave hierarchy."

 At Elena's words, Otis opens her eyes slightly.
 The next moment, however, he nods in agreement.

"Oh, I see," You hired a bandit from the Church of the Holy Light? It's a little expensive, but you're basically good at it."
"No. Ray doesn't like religion, so unfortunately we have nothing to do with it."
"...how, then?"
"I've got a little message," I was able to act with a bandit who I knew even though I was on a few floors, so I was taught how to distinguish most of the traps, and then I avoided them without releasing them."

 The reason Bune's name is not mentioned is because of the existence of the Frauts.
 Next to the conversation being a little disturbing for a woman like that, Shahl repeatedly asks Ray questions.

"Well, what kind of construction image do you have of magic, and when it comes to magical power management.
"No matter what you say," Basically, I can only answer as I imagined."
"What? That's a bit impossible, isn't it? Usually, more than 50 arrows of fire... It's almost impossible for me to manipulate them my own way. In my case, ten arrows are the best I can do. In addition, the more arrows you increase, the more magic you can consume. Then I won't use an arrow, I'll use a greater magic of annihilation."

 Even in his overcoat he can see that Ray's answer was not what he expected.

"Even so, I can only say it's a difference in imagination. It's almost like a power business when it comes to the operation of course.

 Ray's diverse magic of fire is inspired by cartoons, novels, animations, games, and so on, most of which he reads while on Earth. Having read and seen pictures, letters, or visualizations, it's not that difficult in Ray to unleash a similar magic.
 Of course, not everything is the same, but it has changed to some extent.
 And as for magic, even Zepyle, who had become a state of the soul and lost his feelings, has a surprising amount. Makes the magic amount speak, constructs imaginable magic techniques and releases them. ...is Ray's magic process, and it is only possible to use the same kind of magic as Ray's for an ordinary wizard if you combine the image and the amount of magic.

"Wait, Shahl. Don't be too unreasonable. We are already in a position to depend on Ray and Elena's kindness."
"... I see. But you know what? Next time, you're going to teach me exactly how to think about your magic. Is that all right?"
"I wish I had a chance,"

 Otis grudges whether Shahl's attitude is too much for him, but Shahl himself insists on Ray as if it were a windstorm.
 Ray's attitude to it, however, was curt.
 As we proceed through the desert, talking in such a lively way, we soon see the body of the sandworm lying in the desert.

"Oh, it seems that you are you? I'm glad."
"Over time, they feed on other monsters, or adventurers find the body of the sandworm and strip it off by themselves. I can't complain, though, since I left the body there and ran away."

 Seeing the bodies of the five sandworms lying in the desert, Pleiades breathes relief, and Otis nods as well, thanking them for their luck.
 Charl still glances regretfully at Ray, but Pleiades immediately pulls out his own demolition knife and urges him.

"Here, Shahl. I'll rip off the material quickly. There are as many as five of them, so we must all work together."
"... I see,"
"Then we'll keep watch around us," There's Seto, too."

 Seto, who had been watching the surroundings in the sky, must have understood that the Reyes had stopped walking. come down to the earth with wings flapping
 The wind pressure of the flapping wings scattered fine particles of sand around, but fortunately they didn't get sand on the people there, perhaps because they had thought the direction in which to flap their wings.

"Grull?"

 Otis can't help but admire Seto's lovely voice, who slanted her head and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
 But there are many people who act like that towards Seto, so Ray whispered in his ear, caressing his head without any particular concern.

"The Pleiades are going to strip the sandworm, so we're on the lookout for it.""Do you really want to see how to strip the material while saying ...?"
"Well, I won't deny it,"

 Rey nods straight to Elena, who has been interrupting her.
 Pleiades laughed bitterly at what he said, but when he concentrated on ripping off the material, it was true that he was not careful about the people around him. When I thought about it, I couldn't complain if it was guaranteed to be safe by seeing us rip off the material. No, it could even be said that it'surely a cheap purchase.

(Because that crimson is going to follow the bodyguard. as good as a promise of safety)

 Rumors and nicknames alone would not have given Plei greater confidence in Ray's fighting power. But Ray's fighting power is undoubtedly unquestionable, as they see the instant killing of two of their three struggling sandworms.
 Not only that, but there are Elena's who manipulate the very rare weapons of the Gryphon, the Seto, and the Conjunctive Sword.

"Well, study hard," But don't ask the people around you to be vigilant."

 In a deliberately light tone, he urged Otis and Shahl to dismantle the sandworm.
 Each sand worm is more than 5 meters long and takes time and effort to peel off the material. Therefore, the first thing to do is to cut off the tip of the tongue, which is also a testament to subjugation. The next thing to do is strip the material off. First of all, Pleiades cuts off only the tusks that are longer than a certain length from the tusks in his mouth with his spear, not with a knife for disassembling.
 Even armour is not cut off with a regular knife, because it is a fang that bites apart the armour. Of course, the tusks boast such hardness that it is impossible for a bad warrior to cut them off in the first place.
 Shortly away from where Pleiades is cutting his tusks, Otis and Shahl are working together to tear Sandworm's belly and extract a magical stone from his heart.
 The next thing to do is the tip of the foot that grows from the belly of the sandworm. This seems to be possible with a certain amount of strength, and each of the three of them cuts it off quickly. Then, take out one eyeball on the head, and save the part of the lens in the beaker that Charl took out.
 The meat tastes good because it's a Rank D monster, but it seems that they don't want to eat Sandworm meat, and they only buy it at special shops, so the Pleiades decided to hand it over to Ray unanimously.
 Regardless of Ray, Seto eats normally even insects. That's not a bad story for Ray, either.
 Finally, they secured several kinds of internal organs that could be used for alchemy, and finally the first one was stripped of its ingredients.
 It hasn't taken ten minutes to peel off the material so far. It's a party for experienced people, but each of them is doing what they need to do, and their disassembling speed is very fast.
 It was the same with Charl, who seemed reluctant, and although his performance was not as good as that of Pleiades, he was smoother than Ray, who had already known what to do.
 Still, if you take 10 minutes to peel off each of the remaining four, it will take 50 minutes. As long as ten minutes each is only a guide, you'll be held there for an hour or so, somehow or other.
 Still, the reason other monsters didn't show up is probably because the surrounding area was originally the territory of the sandworms whose bodies were exposed to the ground, or because they were wary of the lays who overthrew them. And perhaps what the other monsters feared was the appearance of Seto flying in the air.

(I think he cooperated with other races in the dungeon to some extent...)

 The material was stripped, and as for the rest, as promised, I asked Pleiades, who was dismantling the material, about something I had wondered about, but the answer was "depending on the dungeon and the hierarchy."
 For example, in the case of this dungeon in Egzil, other races rarely cooperate in the desert, but others do.
