The day after the material had been stripped off, the Rays were in the dungeon as usual.
　the 16th basement where the undead exists As soon as the magician's metastasis is over, another strong odor hits the two noses directly.

"I can't get used to it no matter how many times I smell it."
"Well, it's not the smell I want to get used to."
"Guru..."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

　Ray mutters uncomfortably, and Elena nods in agreement.
　Being a Gryphon, Seto, who has sharp senses more than others, holds his nose with his forefeet in an involuntary manner. However, it seems to have little effect, and he immediately turns his eyes to Ray with a sad cry.
　Yero was writhing through the air two days ago with the same strong odor.

"Here, Seto and Yellow, calm down." It's no use doing this, so I'll make a quick move. and I want to absorb the magical stones."
"Glu".

　Seto looked up at me with round eyes while crying, but I couldn't go back here and start walking down the aisle.
　Go down the aisle with Seto and Yero at the front and Ray and Elena behind them.
　In addition, Yero was positioned on Seto's back as usual.

"...the living armour came out right away the day before yesterday, but I don't think he's here this time."

　Elena nods and opens her mouth, muttering as she passes by where she fought against Living Armour.

"Living Armour was a strong enemy in his own way, and Ray needs another magical stone."
"Oh, but considering that the skill Seto acquired was a power crash, in my case, the possibility of a power slash..."
"Gruly!"

　Seto gives a sharp warning, interrupting Ray's voice.
　Stop talking nonsense and listen to it, and you'll hear a clattering sound.
　At that moment, Ray lets out a small sigh.

"Skeleton?" Seto, on Firebrace..."

　mutter to that extent, think for a moment as if something had occurred to him, and speak.

"Come to think of it, the Dungeon at the altar of succession didn't absorb Skeleton's magical stones, either, somehow or other. If you think about it, it's just right in a way."
"Glu?"

　The damage to my nose hasn't healed yet... I guess it's more precisely paralyzed. Seth turns to Ray, disgusted by the odors that float around her.
　He looks as if he wanted to say, "Really?"
　But Ray nods heartlessly to it.

"Skeleton certainly has a low rank, but given the rare species of goblin, there is a possibility that... So... here we go!"

　With his voice, he takes a death-size position from the mistling and flashes his huge blade sideways toward the far right of the three skeletons who emerge from the back of the aisle.
　With little resistance, the death-size blade was cut across the side of the Mystery Stones in Skeleton's chest.
　It deviates from the chest and falls over the stone pavement, breaking bones.
　At the same time, the magical stones that had been stored in his chest were absorbed and disappeared by the magic of animals... but there was no such thing as an announcement message in his mind as when he had mastered his skills.

"Well, as I thought... oh dear!"

　Skeleton in the middle of the three swings the rusty sword down from his hand with a death-size stonghold and wields the handle with force.
　As a result of the combination of the magical powers of death size and Ray's own strength, the rusty sword blade cannot handle it, and the next moment the sword breaks halfway through the blade.

"Oh, my!"

　Turn on the spot by using the force of a stone hammer. The next moment a death-size blade flashed across Skelton's waist. Just as his upper body falls to the ground, he throws away Skelton's feet, who was still standing in a death-size spin.
　Then he approaches the upper body of the skeleton, who is about to get up alone, and tramps his ribs with Slapnil's shoes, deprives them of the magical stone, until the movement stops and the bones of his arms strike the cobblestones as if they were exhausted.

"... now,"

　muttering, he turned his gaze to the other skeleton, storing the magical stone in a misty ring, where the body had already been destroyed by the blow of Sett's forefeet, scattering fragments of bone upon the stone pavement.
　Although the bones were breaking at a considerable rate, the magic stone was still largely intact because of Seto's gentle blow.

"I didn't have to worry about it,"
"Glu?"

　Soon after, Seto, who was picking up the magical stone lying on the stone pavement with a clump, screams at Ray and looks at him.
　In response, Ray gently shakes his head to help absorb the magical stones.
　She immediately swallowed the magic stone into Ray's gesture, but in the end there was no announcement message in her mind about her skill acquisition.

"It's almost ruined, and I can't help it."

　He readily gives up on his inability to absorb skills from Skeleton's magical stones, and instead looks at the remains of Skeleton's body scattered around him.
　Most of the weapons are rusty, just one of the three that didn't absorb the magical stones.
　In terms of harvest, it can be said that it is infinitely small.

"Now, next. There's a fork in the road ahead, and there's a few small rooms on the left, right? Let's finish absorbing the magical stones there."

　Recalling what I heard from Elena the day before yesterday, I check it out and head down the aisle to the left.
　There are several doors on the wall in the course of a stone passageway, which I guess is the road on the map.

"And which small room do you go into?"
"The nearest place is fine, isn't it? What we need is a place where we can't see the absorption of magical stones and experiments on skills."

　Ray answers Elena's question and opens the nearest door.
　"It was a room of about 10 tatami mats, and it was just as large as a small room for the inhabitants of this world."
　However, Egzil is so densely populated that it would be easy for an adventurer without money to get a room of about three tatami mats.
　In addition, if such a room is not even available, it is considered to be a sleepover.

"...you might as well stop trying dangerous skills in this space."
"I don't think so. I'd like to refrain from making a sea of fire all over the place."
"Grull".

　a voice that sounds like it's all right
　With a little smile on their face, the two of them entered the room and closed the door tightly.
　I looked around the room again afterwards, but there was nothing else in the stone room.
　If any, it's a piece of metal that appears to be a piece of armour or weaponry lying on the cobble.

"It's just the right place to say that a lot of things are just the right places. ...well, let's start with two things. set."

　muttered and took out the cobold magic stone.
　Throw one of them, and Seto swallows it when he accepts it.

[Seto learned the skill of 'Rising sense of smell Lv.1']

　hear an announcement in one's mind
　When Ray hears it, he turns his eyes toward Seto.
　No way, I didn't think I would be able to acquire skills with the magic stones of Kobolt.

"...this was unexpected,"
"Do you have any skills?"
"Oh, ... but there are many poor skills to be used here."

　Given the increased sense of smell, the sense of smell will naturally be sharper. Ray, judging so, shakes his head.He must have felt sorry for the fact that his sense of smell is paralyzed now, but that he could raise it further and let it smell bad again.
　After listening to Ray's explanation, he nods and opens his mouth, wondering if Elena was the same.

"It's a skill that usually seems useful, but in this situation, I feel sorry for you in many ways."
"Well, first of all, the next level is the forest, so when you go down there, you'll find a lot of help. Now, if Sett learns his skills, can I expect him.

　Throw the Cobold's magic stone over the sky and flash a flash of death size.
　The magic stone vanished like a haze, but there was no announcement in my mind.

"Oh, no! In this case, we should think that it was a profit for Seto to acquire skills."

　Like the skeleton I mentioned earlier, I was expecting that I wouldn't be able to acquire half the skills, so I took out the magic stone of Bloody Dáil without any sign of disappointment.

"Well, these are two magical stones, so you don't have to wonder which one will absorb them. Set!"
"Grunt!"

　the magic stone of Bloody Dáil thrown with Ray's words It was a set that he took with his fist and swallowed quickly, just like in the case of Cobboldt...

"...not at all right.
"Glu".

　The skill acquisition announcement message doesn't go through your mind, and Seto also bleats regretfully.
　The appearance of a decapitated head and looking so depressed is hardly a Rank A monster.
　It would probably be unbelievable to tell anyone who saw the scene that Seto was a high-ranked monster.
　Perhaps too bad to see, Elena, watching Seto with him, gently reaches out and caresses him on the head comfortingly.

"Come on, cheer up!" In the first place, if you think you've been able to acquire skills with the Cobold magic stone, you don't have to be that depressed, do you? Generally speaking, Ray's... Death size is more problematic than Seto's... What if you couldn't master your skills with the magic stones of Cobold, and if you couldn't master their skills with the magic stones of Bloody Dáil... you'd have nowhere to stand as your partner?"
"... No, Elena. You're not really just putting pressure on me by pretending to comfort Seto, are you?"

　Ray unexpectedly asks that question to Elena's words.
　But Elena shakes her head at him with a small smile.

"That's not the case," I'm just looking forward to seeing what skills Ray can acquire."

　Elena told me that she had no intention of doing anything else, but Ray felt that she was under more pressure.
　With a small sigh, he throws the magic stone of Bloody Dáil into the air, flashing a flash of death size.

【Death size is acquired skill of Painburst Lv.1】

　an announcement message that reverberates in one's
　But when Ray hears it, he bends his head unconsciously.
　This is because I had no idea what kind of effect the skill is based on just the skill name Painburst.
　Up until now, I have understood the effects of skill names alone. For example, the skill name Hidaigiri may be said to have the same effect as the skill name in the sense of launching a sword attack.
　Skills such as corrosion and wind handling are somewhat elusive, but they are still generally predictable.
　However, Ray could not quite understand the effects of the skill name Painburst.

(Pain, pain? But burst is... well, when you learn a skill in the art of sorcery, you can explain roughly the effectiveness of that skill. Takum Suinose came from Japan, so he could incorporate it well.)

　While complaining to people from the same village as Zepail, he speaks to Elena, who is concerned about what skills he has acquired.

"I've mastered the skills, but I don't really understand the effects. Considering the skill name Painburst, I think it's related to pain."
"Pain... because it's called a burst, do you want to relieve the pain that's been inflicted on you?"
"Or, on the contrary, there is a possibility of increasing the pain to the enemy... I can't afford to use it carelessly here."

　While breathing out, I try to exercise my skills by holding my death size in order to reduce the pain to myself.

"Pain Burst"

　Then, pinch the right hand holding the death size with your left hand.

(I feel pain, indeed, but it's a normal pain. I wonder if the pain has increased or decreased in particular. Then...)

　Open your mouth to Elena after confirming your pain.

"I beg your pardon, Elena, but will you take me by the arm?"
"... all right, then?"

　Rey nods slightly in response to the question.

"Oh, as far as I've tried to bite myself, there's been no change in particularly. That's why I want to check on the pain caused by others."
"If it hurts, will you tell me right away?"

　When Ray nods to the question, which he asks, and so on, Elena gently reaches out and bites his right arm.

"Is there no change in the pain?"

　In the end, there was no particular change in the pain, which meant that the next time a living monster appeared, he would try again.
