By the oasis, there was now a very savory smell there.
　It goes without thinking about what it is and where it floats.
　It's from an earth club that's been burned to death inside the Ray's eyes.

"... you're smelling pretty good again,"
"Yes,"
"Glu".

　Ray muttered in an involuntary tone, but Elena and Sett both agreed.

"Grull?"

　Ray also hesitates for a moment when Seto bends his head and asks if he can't eat.
　From previous experience, I understood that the person who was knocked down with his/her poisoned fingernails could eat without any problems, but the problem was the smell that stimulated the appetite floating around him/around him/her.
　But the smell is not just here, but all around.
　In other words, this smell has spread to monsters other than the Reys...

"Oh, it's too late.
"Grull!"

　Sensing the approaching crowd, Ray quickly stores the feet, scissors and moderately cooked torso of the earth club in the mistling, as he breathes but determines he still has some time to spare.
　When I touched the shell, I felt a little feverish, but for Ray, it's not that much of a concern, so there's no problem.
　The moment Elena and Sett hold all the earth clubs in their hands and get a death-size, people who are attracted to the smell emerge through the trees.

"...what?"

　But when Ray saw it, his voice came out unexpectedly stupid.
　The monsters who came up to the 15th basement and knocked them down were Earth Club and Bloody Dile. Although Bloody Dáil was so near death that he could hardly have fought.
　At any rate, they had determined that the closer monsters would be the enemy of considerable strength, given the appearance of such monsters.
　But emerging from among the trees is a two-legged monster with a dog's face.
　He has weapons in his hand, such as swords, spears, hammers, and axes that he seems to have stolen from adventurers or made from monsters, and his body is equipped with protective equipment that he believes to have made from monsters and trees growing around the oasis.
　Still, Ray felt a lot of discomfort when he saw the monster in this hierarchy.
　Yes, the monster's name is...

"Cobolt?"

　As Ray knows, it's probably a famous monster along with goblins and oaks.
　Ray, who came to Elgin, fought against the goblins and oaks, but had never encountered Kobold.
　In that sense, I might have said I was lucky, but I still had a lot of doubts about encountering them in this hierarchy.

(For the most part, can the Cobold survive in this hierarchy, not to mention in a normal place, but in this desert hierarchy, even monsters eat relentlessly, but the rank E Cobold... no, isn't it a normal Cobold?)

"Roll-rolling.

　Similar to Seto...but unlike Seto, Cobold appears in front of the Lays and gathers together with a sound that doesn't make them feel heavy.
　There are about thirty of them.
　A few minutes to face each other at a distance of about five meters. He wields the spear that the leading Cobold had, either impatiently or impatiently unable toil.
　The buzzing act was apparently intimidating to the laymen.
　But it was a big mistake. If you're a beginner who's just become an adventurer, there wasn't anyone here who had the subtle nerves to be afraid of.

"Well, what do you think? I'd appreciate it if you didn't launch a surprise attack."
"Cobold is good at cooperation. I've seen aristocrats, after all, despise Kobold and have had a hard time. Don't let your guard down the road.

　Even if you're intimidating, you're not hostile. It was Elena's words that came back to Ray, who asked him how to deal with such a person.
　Unlike Ray, he has already decided that fighting is inevitable because he had fought against Cobold before.
　Cobold inherited its characteristics, just as its head is a dog. In other words, dogs attack the enemy in groups, just as they do when they hunt. like a wild dog or wolf

"Grull".

　I didn't know about Cobold, but I could feel several signs of them moving around their places.
　He wails waryly at Ray and Elena, who notice that they are also trying to surround themselves.

"Well, did you survive this class with careful preparation?"
"Well, sure enough," But he is still too young to deal with us!"

　As soon as Elena screams, she wields a connected sword and slashes an arrow straight from behind.
　That would have been a signal then. Cobboldt, who had been watching the situation, came at the Rey's in unison.
　Cobold, who has been leading the way, thrusts out his spear at the top of the pack. The spear's target was Seto, perhaps because Cobold's instincts recognized him as his strongest enemy.
　Originally, Ray and Elena both boast the same fighting power as Seto, but perhaps because they were captured by appearances.
　Given the difference in ability, the difference would be overwhelming. However, if he still wanted to do something for his comrades, it was a blow he was prepared to throw away.

"Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

　Instead of driving away the spear, they use the magic eye of shock by sinking themselves and jumping forward with forcefully leaping forward.
　Moments. Cobold's face was shocked, his skin ripped, his flesh fluttered, and he scattered around in a cloud of blood.

"Oh my gosh!"

　At the blow, Cobold crumbles to the ground screaming.
　In this case, it was unfortunate because Seto's magical eye level was so low that he had little power.
　With a little more force, Cobold would have died at one blow. However, his power was so low that he could not die that he had to roll around the ground screaming bitterly.

"Oh, my gosh!"

　In an attempt to kill such a Cobold, Seto's kuchibashi is opened and his firebreath is released.
　Breaths of flames that have been released widely wrap the cobolts rolling around on the ground, shaking Seto's head and extending his tongue to the other cobolts around him.

"Wind Arrow!"

　A short distance from the set, Elena's countless invisible wind arrows rain down on Cobort.

"'Fire, my blow, with your scorching hand, is like a sword. You must exercise your power along that trajectory.'

　With Ray's spell, the flames grow from a death-size stonghold. The appearance was sword‐like, just as the spell had it.

"The Slashing of the Flame Sword!"

　a flaming sword wielded with magic
　But the blow does not burn or cut the cobold, but simply burns it in the air.

"Gow?"

　Not knowing what Ray's blow meant, one of the Cobolts watching him tilt his head in disbelief.
　The next moment, however, the implications of the blow appeared.
　A red line is drawn on the ground along the trajectory of Ray wielding a flaming sword, and flames blow up from the feet of Cobold, who is stepping on it, and the Cobold at the head of the group is enveloped in flames.
　Flames that burst from underfoot spread through the ankles, knees, thighs, hips, stomachs, chests, and so on, until they burn and fall to the ground, screaming with intense pain.
　Such a sight had struck all the Kobolts on the red line drawn by the Flame Sword.
　Other Kobolts watching their comrades burn from under their feet stop moving without knowing what had happened to their comrades.
　...yes, just as Ray had expected, to create what could be termed as a bulwark by the burnt body of Cobold.

"Set!"
"Gurling!"

　The firebreath is released again, shouting without hesitation at Ray's words. And right behind you, too.
　Seto used a firebreath near Ray until a short while ago, but as Ray uses magic, he kicks a nearby tree with a triangular jump, lands directly behind a group of covorts, and takes it into the shape of a snip.The breath of fire that comes out of Seto's mouth burns the covolts and hits them hard.
　Even if you hate it and try to escape, what lies ahead is what you can call a magical line of defense that burns you down when you step on it.
　Cobboldt at the edge of the flock manages to escape, but only a small part of it on the right.
　The reason Cobboldt, who was on the left side of the flock, couldn't escape was because Elena was there.
　Elena's connecting sword blade, which is called Hime Shogun, cuts off many covolts with one stroke when it becomes a whip, and cuts the covolts in half vertically or horizontally with a sharp blow when it becomes a single sword.
　Or, at this point, if there had been some sort of attack on the right side of the herd, the Cobold might have fought back against the Lays with one or another as if they were biting a cornered rat.
　However, as long as there is a place where they can escape, they don't do that and run away to save their own lives.
　Eventually, he succeeds in defeating about 90 percent of the covolts, including the ones that attack him from behind.

`...huh, are you done for now?'

　Putting the death size in a mistling, Ray mutters, looking around the cobold's corpse.
　The bodies lying there are those burned to death and those cut to pieces.
　Looking at such a corpse, Ray takes it to Mistilling, determining that it was still good that he attacked Cobold.

(Even the same dog monster would have struggled a little more if it had been Warwolf's.)

　with a murmur of one's content
　In addition, while the Beast Man is a person with animal elements added to man, Warwolf is an intermediate form between the Beast and man.

"I've taken in the bodies of Cobold, and I'll leave here again before the smell catches me."
"Glu".

　Ray's words make Seto cry in agreement, and Elena nods as well.

"Well, especially in this place, where water is only available, monsters are likely to show up to drink water. I'm sure you'll be physically and emotionally exhausted if you fight again and the other monsters repeat... for it."
"...I was really just looking for the fruit that I had just eaten, but I don't know how this happened."

　Ray muttered with a wry smile, but when I suddenly looked up, I saw two fruits of the same kind that I had just eaten on the tree ahead of me.

"Ray? What's wrong?"

　Elena's voice, suspicious of Ray's involuntarily stopping, reverts to her and opens her mouth.

"Elena, Set. ...that's it."

　The direction Ray pointed brings a look of surprise to Elena and Seto.
　Because even if you were alone, the fruits were unexpected.
　In a sense, there were two main reasons for the fierce battle so far.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes,"

　Ray smiles at that kind of look.

"Huh, what's so wrong with you?"

　As Ray smiles, Elena says so, but his mouth still has the same smile as Ray.

"Elena is laughing, isn't she?" I don't think there was anything particularly interesting about it..."
"Grull".

　There was nothing particularly interesting about it. However, smiles still burst out of each other's mouths.
　Seth's call for the fruit to be picked quickly re-emerged into a smile she was about to settle down.

"Glu?"

　While stroking Sett, who bows his head, the urge to laugh still doesn't go away so easily, and after about five minutes he finally calms down, Ray, who straddles Seto, successfully flies through the sky to get the fruit.
　But the fruit he got was delicious, but he was reluctant to eat it here, so for the time being he put it in a mistling, and he moved on, soothing Seto and Elena.
