The sandworm has been dismantled, and the rest of the material has been stripped off and received a ray, which has already been stored in a mistling.
　Pleiades was surprised when he first met Ray and housed all three of the animals he had knocked down, but he could not help but look surprised when he saw eight sandworms in total, more than twice as many, as Otis and Charl.
　But Ray looks around at the sandy ground stained with sandworm blood and calls out to the Pleiades.

"Why don't you leave here for now? There's a possibility that other monsters will attack you. You said earlier that monsters in this hierarchy will attack even those in the same dungeon, right?
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! Let's get away from here to think about what we're going to do."

　Pleiades agrees with Rey, and the five continue to head for a rocky area about 20 minutes high with Seto, who is on guard over the sky.
　Shortly after the lays leave... there appears a scorpion, wolf, bird, spider, snake-like monster smelling the blood of the sandworm, but there is no body to eat, and instead they launch an attack on the other monsters they gather.





"Wow... It's amazing, delicious, cold, delicious, beautiful, delicious!"

　Arriving close to the rock, the group were rejoicing at the water Ray had produced with a running dagger to wash his dirty hands and faces from the sandworm's disintegration.
　Otis, in particular, screams involuntarily the moment he drinks the water produced by a flowing dagger after washing his hands.
　The repeated "delicious" voices in the cry may be an expression of Otis' honesty.

"Really, it's delicious... I can't believe I can drink this water in the desert..."
"Hey, what's this water?"

　Pleiades and Shahl also drink water after hearing Otis' words and mutter involuntarily.

"Phew, well, it's only with Ray's magic."

　Elena smiles under her overcoat, and Ray shrugs her shoulders slightly and calls out to Seth flying above, putting him in a glass or deep dish from Mistyling where he can easily drink.

"Seto! I'm going to take a break, so come down!"
"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Seth, who has descended to the ground with Ray's voice, relishes the taste of cold water by placing a stick on a dish filled with water.
　Ray puts water in cups for the number of people and hands them over to them.
　Shadowed just by the shadow of a rock, each of them takes a rest enjoying the cold sweet dewy taste of water produced by a flowing dagger.

"Hey, Ray. When I see the water coming out, is that dagger a magic item?"

　Shahl asks Ray, breathing a sigh of relief in the shade.
　The fact that there is a flowing dagger leaning against the rock at the end of his gaze is that only the wizard cares about the magic item.

"Yes, it's a magic item called a flowing dagger, and it has the ability to create water using magic. Originally, it's a magic item for fighting that allows you to control water freely and fight like a water whip, but unfortunately, I think I'm specialized in the properties of fire. I can use what I can, but I can only use drinking water and anything else."

　Just by Ray's explanation, I wonder what level of magic the dagger in front of my eyes is. Shahl takes his breath away.
　Stretch out to the dagger against the rock and ask Ray.

"May I use it for a moment?"
"Oh, I don't mind,"
"... I've heard of it, but can I lend it to you so easily? To be honest, it's worth living with this dagger for the rest of your life, isn't it? It's all that water."

　At Shahl's words, Ray shrugs his shoulders with a small smile.
　Next to Ray, Elena was smiling like Ray.

"You'll find out if you use it,"

　Shahl, leaning slightly at the remark, reaches for the dagger as Ray tells him to do. At the moment, the dagger feels like it is sucking up magic, and water flows out of the tip of the blade.

"Here, shahl, cup,"
"Thank you,"

　I put water in the glass I received from Otis and carefully put it on my mouth... the next moment I frown in spite of myself.
　It's definitely water. There's no doubt about it. But the water in the glass was overwhelmingly tasteless compared to what was initially handed to me by Ray. For example, a painting by a first-class painter and a painting by an amateur with a bit of pictorial acumen. It's the same that both are pictures, but there's a clear difference between the two.

"...why?"
"It's easy. The running dagger determines what water is produced by the amount and quality of the user's magic."
"...that is to say, can't you use it as a beverage in terms of the amount of magic or the quality of magic?"
"Don't be so,"

　Shahl sighs regretfully at Ray's simple nod.
　Ray admires the lack of such a look, though he would normally look at it somewhat.
　At any rate, Pleiades opens his mouth as he takes a breath of moisture, barely surviving the desert heat in the shade of rocks.

"By the way, will Ray and Elena continue their search for the eleventh basement?"

　Pleiades asked me that, but I'm quite nervous inside. for he wanted to be escorted by two and one of the men who, if possible, still had the fighting power of excess, had consumed his magical and physical strength in the battle against the Sandworms -- a man who seemed to have left Ray in his pocket.
　It was probably the same for Otis and Shahl at the same time. Both of them are staring at Ray and Elena.
　There was a momentary, certain, tense silence around her... but Elena broke it and spoke.

"I see. With your current strength, if you're a few enemies, it's dangerous to be attacked by nearly 10 monsters at a time like this time."
"No, even at a normal party, if you are attacked by nearly 10 sandworms, you usually run away."

　Otis plunges into Elena in an unconscious manner, which somehow gives her a relaxed atmosphere.
　Or, if he had aimed at this, Otis would have been quite a go-getter."

(Well, I guess so.)

　Ray makes a deep decision by looking at Otis' smiling face.
　Just shrug your shoulders and think about what to do from now on.
　It's true that leaving the Pleiades as they are will leave the aftertaste bad. Besides, it was evident from what I heard on the road that I was used to doing in the desert, and it seemed not a bad option to keep my acquaintance.
　Ray turns his eyes to Elena just to confirm, but he turns his eyes back as if he had left his judgment to him.
　Seto looked at her, but she was still drinking water with a purring.
　Just think for a few seconds, and then open your mouth.

"All right, you want me to escort you until you leave the dungeon, right? It certainly doesn't taste good to desert you here, and considering you've given me a good deal of Sandworm material, I can take it on you." However, we're going down to the 12th basement stairs. If it were to be transferred by a group of wizards, I think it would be a small room on the 12th basement, but would that be all right?"
"Oh, oh, that's all right. I hope and wish will come true."

　Rey's words let out a sigh of relief. But Ray's words were not over yet.

"Well, by the way, let me ask you another one instead of guarding me."

　The words bring tension to Pleiades' face again. What are you asking for?
　But Ray's mouth was completely different from the worst that Pleiades had expected -- all the money, slave, send a woman, etc.

"I'm free while I'm going through the desert anyway." We have just descended to this hierarchy, and it would be helpful if you could tell us what to watch out for in the desert hierarchy, which extends from this eleventh basement level to a little while."
"...is that all right?"
"Huh? I don't think that's all right, but... do you have anything else to ask for?"
"No, I have no objection to Ray's opinion.""...I see, that would be helpful for me.

　Pleiades exhaled Pleiades
　It was the same with Otis and Shahl.
　Elena nods her head and Ray nods vaguely, but says nothing more.
　After a ten-minute break, the five of them stand up again to resume their steps towards the 12th basement.

"Glu?"
"Oh, I'm sorry to say that Seto should be vigilant from above. I want you to let me know as soon as anything happens."
"Roll-rolling.

　Even Seto must have felt better after drinking the sweet and dewy taste of water made by Ray with a flowing dagger. run up into the sky with wings fluttering

"Oh, how are you?"

　Otis mutters while watching Sett from below, and Shahl nods in agreement.
　But his gaze was not on Seto, but on the flowing dagger Ray had just stored in the mistling.

"If you can drink that good water, you'll recover your energy and strength. ...and it's almost impossible to drink that level of water even if you go to a restaurant that serves ordinary high-class food. That's what you pay for."
"Maybe so. We're very fortunate, considering that. Now, let's move on more quickly than that's why."

　Everyone nods to Elena's words and steps out from behind a rock into the desert.
　And the moment you take a step from behind a rock to the desert, the intense sunlight begins to pour down again.

"Oh, isn't it cloudy sometimes?"
"Don't be silly in the dungeon".

　Charl begins to walk in the desert, thrusting into Pleiades' words.
　If it were only Ray and Elena, they would have simply gone straight in the direction of the stairs to the 12th basement, but this time there are Pleiades who are also experienced in this hierarchy. This led us to follow the desert peaks, which are said to be easy to walk.

"...the sand is solid to some extent, and it's easy to walk."
"Right? Just be careful because it's easy for us to walk, and it's easy for monsters to walk."

　muttering and turning one's eyes to the tip of the mountain where they were walking.
　At first glance, the desert looks just like a wind-made pattern of sand, but everyone who sees Pleiades stop moving in front of it follows his gaze.

"Is there anything?"
"Why don't you know our companion?"

　Listening to Shahl and Otis' conversation, Ray opens his mouth.

"A snake...?"
"That's right. You've got it. Even monsters know that this place is easy for people to pass by. and it is only natural that we should wait here for the most efficient means of obtaining prey."

　As Pleiades utters that phrase, he turns to Ray and Elena, wondering what to do.
　Rey nods softly and takes a step forward.
　This is because we decided that we should be able to deal with whatever we do, as long as we are not going to continue with the Pleiades.
　With a death size in one hand, I concentrate my magical powers.

"Fire, burn the enemy according to my will."

　Along with the incantation, a block of flame of about 30 cm is produced near the blade of death size.
　Although Ray's recitation is relatively short among the magic he releases, it is still quite powerful because it uses his magical powers based on Ray's image.

"The Fireballs

　The magic, completed with the words, is released as Ray wields his death size and flies to a seemingly invisible place.
　What is there? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

　It's roaring!

　The fireball that landed scattered powerful explosions and fires all around it, which seemed unlikely to be magic chanted in a short chant, and the snake, which was about two meters long, would do nothing and kill itself in an instant.
