a clear thunder or meteor After cutting off the head of a monster flying in the sky with such an impressive blow, Ray lands on the sand with the monster's corpse.
　The monster's corpse fell to the ground, guided by gravity, but Lei, who leaped nearly 5 meters away, re-launil's shoes just before landing and placed them in the air to stop the falling speed before descending to the sandy soil.
　Strangely Elena couldn't take her eyes off the sight of the floating dragon robes.
　Seen from the side, it's just a scene of jumping into the air and killing a monster.
　Of course, jumping 5 meters away is not just a leap. Still, Elena couldn't help but realize that she was fascinated by the sight, as she leaped and knocked down the monster at one stroke.

"Glu?"

　As if to bring such an Elena back to life, Seto sings softly, and in fact comes back to life with that cry.

"Are you safe, Ray?"

　Rushing towards Ray, who landed beside the monster's corpse, Ray gently raises his hand to say that there is no problem.
　Blood and body fluids were blown out of the amputated monster, and the desert heat had already begun to give off a strong smell around him, but Ray didn't seem to care about it, and he was still looking at the monster's corpse, which was more than three meters long, even when his head was amputated.
　Elena turns her gaze to the amputated head, exhaling relief at Ray's appearance.
　four horns well over a meter long Considering the length of its horns, it is a monster that is well over 4m and nearly 5m in size.

"I didn't know there were monsters like this,"
"Oh, I didn't hear anything from the Pleiades, and I didn't see any monsters in the information I'd gathered beforehand. Now, what do you think of it? It's a new breed, or...."

　He turns his eyes to the place where the bodies of those who tried to transform cactus into abnormal species using what is called chaos.
　The corpse had already been stored in a mistling, but it still naturally turned to me.
　But Elena shakes her head slightly at Ray's words.

"No, you can assume that this monster has nothing to do with the people I mentioned earlier."
"Why? They're the ones who're creating the abnormal species, so it's not strange to create a whole new kind of monster, is it?"
"It may be possible if it is said whether it is possible or not. But, apart from the fact that they chose cactus to use what they call chaos as an abnormal species, it must have been close to accident that they were trying to do so here."

　mutter, look at the dead ant-hell lying before Ray, and continue to speak.

"If the cactus had become an aberrant species, it would probably have made other monsters an aberrant species next. Do you bring the body to this point every time you make a mistake? Or you may be able to walk out of the sand like you did when you fought Ray, but this is not the only group in the first place where abnormal species exist. I don't think we've got this kind of monster in every tier."
"... I see,"

　Ray is convinced of Elena's words.
　It is true that Ray has encountered unusual species in many classes. With that in mind, there is no doubt that many different classes are producing abnormal species. And from what Ray saw earlier, it is also true that it is quite difficult for ordinary monsters to become abnormal species.

(Well, if we could produce such an abnormal species, we would have found much more.)

　To date fewer than 30 abnormal species have been found. Or, perhaps, before the existence of any abnormal species became public, it's no use saying so already.

"So is this really an unknown monster that happened to live here?"
"Oh, but I don't know if it's unknown." The Pleiades probably don't know all of Dungeon's monsters, and it's possible that Dungeon's core created or summoned them in the first place."
"Is it convenient for the place where the abnormal species are being produced?"

　Elena nodded slightly to the words and opened her mouth touching the armoury crust.

"Or maybe it was because of this monster that we were experimenting here to create an abnormal species. If you throw this monster where he's hiding, he'll get rid of it."
"…is that a good chance?" It would be a nuisance to leave the body on the verge of becoming an abnormal species and be discovered by other adventurers. but in that case, when you are experimenting with the production of abnormal species elsewhere, what do you do with the disposal of the failed crop?"
"Well, if you ask me that," What I'm talking about is but a possibility. or there may be some other reason, or some predictable one, but it is only the result of repeated reasoning

　Ray nods and agrees to the muttered word without further comment.
　Rather than worrying about not being able to answer the questions in the dungeon, he decided that it would be better to go down to the 14th basement and escape by magic and bring it to the Silwa family.

"Well, let's just put this monster in a mistling and move on."
"Grull".

　A set who cries out at Ray's words as if they were going to hurry up.
　As if supported by the voice, both the body and the head are stored in the mistling, and the death size in the hand is also stored in the mistling.

"I envy you that you still have an item box. We can take out weapons instantly even if we are empty-handed."

　Elena murmurs enviously as she watches him, but Ray shrugs his shoulders and replies.

"The magic pouch that Elena has... Is it impossible?"
"Oh, it's not like the item box that you want to take out. You need to put your hand in it once."
"But the magic pouch itself is a very rare magic item, isn't it?"
"It's certainly rare, but it's still nothing compared to an item box."

　They begin to follow each other's footsteps, talking to each other.
　After the lays are gone, direct sunlight continues to pour in, evaporating the blood and fluid of monsters that fall on the sand and creating a strong smell, but soon it is also blown away by the desert wind.
　Still, monsters who smell the faint blood floating in the desert wind come to the scene, but of course there is nothing there to fill their stomachs with. No, in a way, there was food to fill the stomach. They smelled blood just like themselves.
　The result is a battle that could be described as a monster-to-monster fight, where you smell the intense blood that was shed and other monsters appear...
　Ultimately, the battle for survival was won by a giant snake monster with three heads, which even adventurers would not like to approach near the cactus-infested area, so for a while a pyramid of food chains would be formed around the area with the monster atop it.





　The Lays march through the desert, unaware of what is going on after they've left.
　The monsters came at me in their own way, as most adventurers would not pass by. But most of these monsters were sandworms, bandette goblins, and sandsnakes that Ray had encountered several times, and for Ray, who wanted a magical stone, they were what he called "missing monsters."

"Well, if you could see the Skyfang, the Iwagumo, or the Ant Hell-like monster, the number of magical stones... No, I don't think so."

　Ray was still walking through the desert, complaining about the monster that came out, but he smiled at what he saw.
　Beyond Ray's fierce smile with a death size in his hand from the mistling looks like a desert at first glance.
　But, as evidence that it was not just a desert ahead of him, Sett was also staring sharply at him with a wry throat next to him.
　Elena also smiles small, holding her connected sword.

"There are certain monsters like rock spiders that hide behind rocks. Wouldn't it be strange if there were monsters in that case."
"That's what it is... oh dear!"

　They probably understood that the Rays had entered the battlefield and decided that any further ambush would only disadvantage them. The sand at the end of my eyes... no, the existence that was hidden in the sand began to move.
　The number is not one or two. It's about ten or twenty.

"Ants? Well, there's a monster like ants hell, so it's only natural that there's ants."

　The body length is about 2m, and the smallest is about 1.5m.
　Ants the size of humans, and the food they find is coming straight to the rays as soon as they escape.
　Watching a group of ants heading straight at them without any plan, Ray spins a spell with a smile of derision in his mouth.

"Fire, be an arrow that burns everything and falls like rain."

　About 50 fire arrows appeared behind Ray. As soon as all the arm-length fire arrows are produced, Ray invokes magic.

"The falling fire-arrow!"The fire arrows fall on the ants that are heading towards the lays.
　While some ants judged the approaching fire arrows dangerous, most others continue to move straight forward and pierce through the rain of fire arrows falling from the front.
　The hard crust of ants pierce through the edges of the ants, burn them, and instantly turn into charcoal.
　And only four ants are left after all the arrows of fire fell and the smoke from the impact of the impact of the impact disappeared.
　I was a little smarter, luckier, and by chance the other individuals in front of me acted as shields.
　Although the four managed to survive for such reasons, they were not injured and were more or less damaged in various parts of the body, and there was an Elena with a connecting sword, and one who attacked them with her proud claws and strength.
　Too much power to be called chase, the life of ants disappears in no time flies.
　The formation of more than 20 ants was nothing but a duck, for someone like Ray, who had a wide range of attacks.
　However, Ray's way of attacking is not without flaws.

"...I can't do it." The crust is almost completely destroyed."

　A ray in which the fallen ants are stored in a mistling without thinking.
　The crust is also the bestselling material for ants, except for the magical stones.
　When beginners, rank D or E adventurers get paid a little more with this exil, one of the options that goes up to the next grade is light armor made of sand ant crust, but naturally it doesn't taste good when it's made with holes in the armor.
　Due to the characteristics of the sand ant crust, it is not possible to cut off a part of the crust and join it to other crusts, so the use of the crust...especially if there is a hole in the middle of the crust that is as large as you can see, the use of the crust is severely limited.

"Cheer up! If you had fought that number squarely, it would have taken you extra time. and with that in mind, I think it would be better to buy it cheaply."

　At Elena's comforting words, let out a sigh and get back together.

"Well, we must find the stairs to the 14th basement as soon as possible, and give the Silwa family information."

　Reinvigorated, Ray continued to walk over the desert, defeating the attacking enemy and finally discovering the steps leading to the basement. They would go down to the 14th basement and then return to the ground with a team of wizards.
