"Well, now that we have had lunch, we are about to resume our search."

　Putting the magic tent that just came out into the mistling, Ray calls out to Elena, who is moving her body lightly nearby as if she were hungry.
　Elena, who had twisted her upper body wide, nods to it.

"Oh, I ate here because the place was a place, but even though I said there was a magic tent that kept low-rank monsters at bay, I couldn't take it easy. I agree to leave here."
"Glu".

　On Ray and Elena's side, Seto, who was wary of monsters who were attracted to the smell of blood from disassembling here while eating outside without entering the magic tent, cries short.

"I'm sorry to let Seto eat out." But now I can rely on your senses."
"Slurrurling.

　Seto exclaims, "Leave it to me!" but one of the reasons for his good mood is the smell of fragrance floating nearby.
　Before they ate, they dismantled the Skyfang, and Ray magically grilled the meat and gave it to Seto.
　It wasn't as if they were guilty of eating lunch alone in the magic tent, but it was still with the intention of at least letting Seto be satisfied and keep watch.
　However, Seto was disappointed not to be with Ray, but he must have been happy to be able to eat the meat of Skyfang to his heart's content. The result is reflected in Seto's current good humor.

(Well, if you eat so much meat)

　The flesh of the Skyfang, cut apart at the end of the eye, is greatly diminished.
　Obviously less than Ray used when he baked it, and it was obvious that Seto's stomach was full of raw meat while the Reys were having lunch in the magic tent.

"Let's get out of here at once." It's still near the entrance to the 14th basement, so if you want to go to the 15th basement today, you'd better hurry up a little."

　Ray nods that he has no objection to Elena's words and returns to the dead end.
　I'm back at the fork near the entrance of the maze, but I arrive without that much contact with other monsters.

(It's true that I'm lucky... but isn't it a little too good?)

　Ray bows his head unconsciously at the present situation.
　Even at the dead end, it was dismantled to strip the material from a large number of monsters. Of course, there is a strong smell of blood around, and monsters could come looking for it. No, it would have been strange if monsters were not attracted to the smell of blood.
　Or maybe there's some kind of course. With that in mind, the lays diverge to the left.
　Just in case, he kept on guarding... and eventually Seto realized it.
　Then Ray and then a little later Elena noticed the sound coming from the front.
　a sound that an ordinary adventurer would probably have missed if he hadn't heard much better.
　a striking sound, as if something heavy had struck the ground

"... Ray,"
"Oh, the reason why the monster didn't come out is finally coming to light. Now, what will come out?"
"If you think about it safely, it's probably because some adventurer is fighting monsters."

　The most likely event came out of Elena's mouth. Suddenly, as if he had noticed something, Seto, staring sharply at the end of the winding road next to Ray, tilts his head in bewilderment. Yes, as if you had encountered an unexpected event.

"Glu?"
"Seto? What's wrong?"
"Gurgle...gurgle!"

　A croaking Seto pulls the hem of Ray's dragon robe with a clove to get there quickly.
　Wondering about the situation, Ray and Elena decide it's no use spending time here as long as they have to go along the road anyway.
　We go down a winding road due to the presence of a number of huge rocks... and then we open our eyes to the sight that we see.
　Just like the place where Ray and his colleagues absorbed the magical stones and stripped the materials, it is a place that can be called a hall or a square. That's fine, but what surprised the Rays was one person near the entrance to the hall.
　He's so small at first sight that he only looks like a child at first sight.
　No, that person is actually a child.
　They wore overcoats to avoid the heat of the desert, but the faces peeping out of their hoods were familiar to them.

"Boyne!"

　Elena, who identifies the person in front of the hall, runs up first.
　Ray and Set, who follow closely behind them.

"Yes,"

　Bune murmured and greeted Elena as usual.

"Are you alone today? ... No, I don't have to-day.

　Speak to Bune, but listen to the constant sound of battle from inside the hall.

"Yes,"

　muttering a few words, Ray, Elena, and Sett looked in the direction pointed to by Bune, who were fighting a giant figure over four meters tall.
　It was covered in a cloak, but it was obvious who it was when you saw him fighting unarmed with monsters over four meters and with Beune.

"Vihela," But isn't that monster Cyclops? Isn't it dangerous to deal with everything alone?"
"Yes,"

　In response to Elena's question, Bune tilts her head slightly, as usual, with little change in expression.
　The gaze did not seem to reflect any emotion, but Elena, who had some acquaintance, could feel the color of trust.

"Cyclops, another very troublesome monster has appeared. If there are so many monsters here, it's only natural that they didn't come to us."

　Ray mutters, taking the death size out of the mystery ring, just in case.
　Cyclops is a monocular giant monster over 4 meters in height, with a monstrous power suitable for its large size and, to a certain extent, intelligent enough to use weapons. There is a horn growing from the head, and no clothes are worn except with the fur of the monster or animal that he has fallen on his waist.
　They prefer attacks with purely powerful physical abilities, but they emit magical powers as shock waves from a single eye.
　The monster rank is C, and the testimonial part is the right ear. Skin can be used as a material for strong protective equipment, horns and eyes as a catalyst for making magic items, bones and streaks as a material for weapons, and meat has a wild taste and is distributed at a relatively high price.

"Cyclops should be a monster that is infinitely close to Rank B, even if it was Rank C. It is somewhat doubtful that there is a monster of that strength on the 14th basement floor... dangerous!"

　Cyclops wields a hammer made of some kind of metal about 3m long, but Ray immediately throws the stone that had fallen nearby. Taking advantage of the momentary stalemate against the cyclops, Vihela leaps sideways to avoid it. He leaped up onto the hammer that made the crater against the ground, ran straight through the handle of the hammer and the arm of the cyclops, and tried to strike a blade extending from the back into the single eye.
　Cyclops, however, waits with his sharp tusks, trying to break down the Vihela running up his arms.
　At this rate, he must have understood that he was at a disadvantage. The timing of the cyclops' shoulder kick was changed, and he leaped to the ground in exactly the opposite direction of his head. Face each other with a big pause and shout excitedly.

"Ah, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I've always thought it was a trifling request, but I'm lucky today! Come on. Show me the sting of blood. At this moment, the sparkles of life collide with each other as ordered by the hot tide. Above all, for this moment that will make my heart flutter! And don't disturb me!"

　I guess he's in a climax. He looks at the Cyclops with wet eyes as if he were looking at his dear partner, and finally glances sharply at Ray, kicks the ground, and pushes toward the Cyclops.

"Oh, my gosh!"

　Cyclops must have had something to do with such a Vihela. raise a hammer with a shoutAs soon as Vihela sees it in time, she wields the hammer again, but this time she wields it sideways instead of swinging it down.
　It was probably a blow to avoid being sidetracked, but Vihela just jumped. get down on the hammer as before
　But what was different from what I had just done was what I was going to do. Instead of going down the arm to the head of the cyclops, it remained on a hammer that was swinging sideways.
　Then, as soon as the hammer reaches its limit and stops, it makes a big turn on the spot and slaps its heel against the cyclops' hand.
　...no, the instep, a magic item similar to the instep, produced a sharp knife on its heel by being cast away by magic, and pierced the right thumb of Cyclops, who was holding the hammer.
　The blade of the heel of the instep, pierced by dehuman force, cuts off the joint of the cyclops' right thumb with one blow and cuts off the thumb.

"Oh my gosh!"

　a cry that is different from the brave scream of a few seconds ago because one couldn't bear the pain.
　Still, it should be called the Cyclops of Rank C Monster. Shrieking but unable to support the hammer with his left hand alone, he wields his fist at Vihela, which was still in the air.
　It would have been a fatal blow to an ordinary opponent, smashing him to the rocky. But what Cyclops is now dealing with is a woman called Egzil and even a wild beast. They twist themselves in the air and stamp their fist at them.
　with a blade sticking out of the heel as before.
　Naturally, Cyclops' fists were thrust into the blade extending from the instep of Vihela's foot by their own power, and the bones of the back of his hand were destroyed when the blade was stabbed.
　He kicks his fist and leaps, spins in the air, lands on the ground with little noise, and confronts the Cyclops quickly.

"Oh, my gosh!"

　Like before... no, screaming in pain, holding down his broken left hand with his thumbless right hand.

"Well, I'm sure it's strong, but... I'll get a little tired of it if it's all I can do. I wish I could improve my skills a little more... but I guess it's no use telling Cyclops."

　The series of interactions may not have been satisfactory for Vihela. The excitement is no longer there, and we move forward towards the cyclops, where we can't use both hands as a final finish, with a small, dumb sigh.
　Cyclops has the healing power to the point of regeneration, but it is true that his right thumb was dropped and his left instep was broken in a short period of time, so he steps back one or two steps away from the Vihela approaching him.
　The distance the Vihela had advanced, and a minute had passed. . . . . .

"Gee, "What?"

　Eventually, Cyclops' back hit a rock wall, leaving no further escape.

"Where are you going? Here's the man you have to fight against. Now, your only merit is power and bravery, so it's disgraceful to be scared." At least resist with pride as a Rank C monster. Otherwise... you'll end up with just a lump of meat?"

　Vihela's own extraordinary strength may be partly to frighten the normally violent Cyclops. But a bigger reason was that he preferred fighting, which was called a mad animal.
　a bloodthirsty beast I don't think many of you will find the expression any better.
　His overcoat is fluttered in the wind by blood from the cyclops, and he walks one step at a time towards the one he can't escape because he's leaning against the rock behind him.
　What is in the eye is a wet light from the pleasures of the struggle, though it has subsided since it was at its height.
　If a stranger sees the present Vihela, he will be captivated by the light of his wet eyes, which can also be described as obscenity.
　But if he who knows everything sees Vihela, he will be so full of his madness that he cannot move a step.
　He approaches from a man of such madness to a poor prey... and with a blow of spirit, the head of the Cyclops explodes, and the flame of his life disappears.
