Idiotic: Nasty opponents and the voice of God

The Weapon Skill "Shooting Star", a spear fired from an airship, accurately landed in a dense zone and defeated the surrounding players with a single blow.

This signaled the start of the war, but the players were quite confused.

I knew the damage was abnormal. Releasing a shooting star from that altitude would do a lot of damage. In addition, it was the Medium Defense type of player who was in the attack range, and their defenses were not that high. I was convinced that I was defeated in a single blow.

The problem is not that, but the accuracy.

Now it's over the Mansion, but it was thrown a long time ago. There was a considerable distance from there to here. Nevertheless, I threw it precisely at the part where there seemed to be a lot of people.

NPCs are AI. Advanced mathematical calculations may be enough to make sure you hit them, but it's a question of whether you can win. It is said that the opponent has considerable strength, but he may be doing something rather reckless, and such an idea is offended.

The majority of the players here are in the fight for the rare gear they received from the Shooting Stars. Since it is close to the current final equipment, I would like to cross a slightly dangerous bridge in the game.

It was possible to take the item with you, but at that time, you would suffer retribution from the shooter. No matter what happens, there is no reason to refuse if the responsibility lies with the shooting star.

In addition, being able to fight against the clan "Daedalus", which won the top prize in the Clan War, and the NPCs who have been interacting with that clan, was attractive to new players who did not participate in the Clan War.

We are never weak. Nevertheless, it was sometimes seen below by ancient players even though they hadn't fought. There's an atmosphere where you're not in a clan war and you already have a rating.

I want to win this battle and pay for the atmosphere. After receiving the rare items, the shooting star will take care of all the blame for the rampage. If so, I joined.

It should be, but we've already got a problem.

The plan was to take the NPC's pet in this mansion and return to the base of a shooting star in the Demon Kingdom, where it would be intercepted. Originally, we would have finished everything before the reinforcements arrived and returned to the Demon Kingdom, but we were struggling to deal with the situation in the Mansion.

It's probably because of the samurai woman. They told me not to let anyone into the Mansion, but the NPC lady samurai took the lead and charged along with several samurai. With that incredible attack, the leading woman, Samurai, broke through the wall of the avant-garde and entered the Mansion.

That's not all. Later, Hayato and the others came aboard a vehicle that had only heard of the rumor of an airship. I thought you'd be back by ship, so I figured I'd still have time.

This time, it was merely a wall of intimidation and pet kidnapping, and the original battle was a base in the Demon Kingdom. I'm not saying I'm not ready for a fight, but I'm prepared for one.

It didn't take long to refill items and repair weapons after fighting a Raid Boss named Sake Kid. I thought I could win in terms of the number of people, but I was more anxious in the attack earlier.

In this situation, Harrington, the leader of the shooting star, raised his sword to attract attention.

"Hurry up and get ready for battle." The healers will revive the fallen with magic. I will intercept them. ”

Harrington wears white armor that hides his entire body, and his face is completely covered by a helm. The only people who saw her face were the butler Ronios and the maid Cremola. According to Ronios, she was a man in his thirties.

Someone interrupts Harrington's words.

Are you going to fight here?

"Yes, but you don't have to win. We just need to buy some time to catch our pets."

So, but--

"I don't need it." I was expecting to lose here. The real battle is the base of the demon kingdom. Gain time for that. "

Some people had doubts about the causality, but they were hired, and if they could lose here, it would be a great opportunity to test their abilities. Everyone got ready for battle.

In the meantime, one of the players said:

You can win here, right?!

I don't know if you really think so, but there are people who say this. It doesn't hurt to raise morale or laugh, but if you don't know the difference in power, it's just clowning.

“That's impossible.”

A maid wearing glasses appeared in front of the person who had spoken earlier. The players around the maid who appeared instantly were surprised.

Eh-

Immediately after saying so, the maid's right bodyblow pierced her abdomen. A momentary, lifting shock to the body. Even in this state, the damage calculation is normal, and it won't be defeated by a single blow.

However, shortly after the counterattack, two shots, three shots and a punch from the maid were launched, and the HP was 0, and it collapsed into place.

The maid then tries to remove the dust from the skirt before correcting the position of the glasses. Then he turned around to look at the garbage.

It looks like cleaning today would be rewarding.

The battle began suddenly at the center of the dazed players.

A few minutes after the battle began. The players are looking at an unbelievable sight.

A female samurai who fights back against all attacks in a flowing motion.

A little girl who hides her face, never sees her opponent, and unleashes a melee weapon skill in a row.

A vicious man beat the players around him with an unstoppable smile.

And the maid is so violent that the word "maid phobia" seems to be coming to pass.

After the maid, the other three suddenly appeared and defeated the players.

Even if you surround yourself, other members will follow you. Even though it was surrounding everyone, it was attacking our weak parts, and it was falling apart. In this case, it would be better to fight one-on-one.

And not just the four of them.

From the sky, tamers on griffins and dragons attacked. Furthermore, a magical attack was coming from the airship, targeting the healers.

Some Tamers can fly into the sky, too, but they can't track the movement of their griffons and dragons, and are defeated in a one-way hit-and-go.

Magic and ranged attacks are not reaching the airship, and they are being attacked unilaterally. I could hear singing from the airship and it had multiple debilitating effects on me.

Those are the problems, too, but an opponent with a more problematic atmosphere appears on a giant crow.

Ladies in Gothlory clothes and feminine figures in red armor. The woman in red armor is equipped with a helm so she can't see her face, but I know someone who knows her.

I knew I was in the opposing clan, but I didn't expect a Las Boss-like opponent to appear in the front line. Players who know their true identities can't afford to buy time in their hearts.

Despite the proximity of the players, the women in Gothlory clothes who had stepped out of the crows separated their hands in parallel in a slow motion and hoisted their weapons into the air.

Demon King Lunaria! Stand up!

All the women dressed in Gothlory chant together.

So everyone notices.

Red Armored Person - Demon King Lunaria walked slowly among the lined women. And without saying anything, I pulled out my sword.

When the Demon King disappeared, he stood in front of the player in front of him, after he had already swung his sword to the side.

The player fell with a surprised face. The defensive shield was destroyed in an instant.

"This sword judged you to be weak." Don't be serious, I'll give you peace of mind. "

A single blow to the shield of the Avant-Garde - I actually slashed it several times at an unremarkable speed. There is nothing to be relieved of if you don't mean it and are defeated in an instant. Besides, I could feel the demon king's murderous intent.

This is the world of games. There is no problem or pain when it is knocked down. Despite that, I felt terrified of the Demon King in front of me. If you were to be slaughtered here, you would be slaughtered as well. That's how it seems.

If you think so, this is no longer the world of games. Forgotting about the forced logout, the players who were nearby ran away.

Seeing that, Demon King Lunaria turned his sword tip toward the players who ran away.

"Start annihilation."

When Demon King Lunaria said that, the women in Gothlory clothes smiled and attacked the players.

Some players resist, but such things are burnt stones and water. One-on-one might still have won, but the women in the Gothlory clothes worked together to beat each other. I couldn't keep up with the magic of revival, and the front collapsed easily.

I tried to do something about it, but the Demon King's army didn't do anything about it, even though I was attacking from a distance from the center guard and the rear guard.

Attacks such as arrows are knocked down with weapons before being struck, and magic is counteracted by the magic of opposing attributes. Even in the rare event of a hit, it was immediately restored by magic and potions. And if they attack, they will be defeated in an instant.

Even if I had expected to lose here, I could barely buy time. Soon, nearly two hundred players were defeated by a third.

More reinforcements came from the airship. Some of them came down on the rope.

The players here are sharing information, so I understand. One is the leader of the clan "Black Dragon" and the other is a woman in Gothlory like the Demon King's army. The two descend to the roof of the mansion.

The two turned their gaze towards the entrance of the mansion and jumped down there. Moreover, the woman in Gothroli's clothes waved the giant scythe that she was equipped with at that time. With just that, the players around take a lot of damage.

Shortly afterwards, something like a red and black aura emanated from the woman in Gothroli's clothes.

I'm dying!

I was pretty scared of a woman who could be called a black reaper. However, there were two opponents. And one of them is the same player as us. Since there was no damage between the players, they started attacking by themselves, but it was a sweet idea.

The leader of the Black Dragon protects the woman in the Gothlory suit. Stop the attack with the sword in your hands and sometimes with your body stretched out. And even though I'm right next to you, I'm never going to get hit by an attack from the Black Reaper.

The two of them are so furious with each other that they can imagine how much practice they will be able to work together. On the contrary, I can still see that the player is assisting the AI NPC in its movement. Everyone wonders what can be done to do such a thing.

And from the roof of the mansion, the Black Dragon members who were there at some point were interfering with the ranged attack without any damage. If something flies towards my face, I reflexively swallow it. They're going after it, and they're going after it.

Reinforcements won't stop. Knights in black armor came down with ropes. As the knights descended to the roof of the Mansion, they set up a huge shield on their backs. Then he jumped near the woman in Gothlory's clothes and the leader of the Black Dragon.

"I want you to leave us a place to show off!" Now, you two go with Lord Cecil into the Mansion. May I have Lord Siegfried or Lord Max, please! "

"Then I'll leave it to you." As a demon king army, please don't be embarrassed. "

"I'll take care of it! Let's go!" Show me the power of the Demon King's army! "

When someone like the leader of the black knights said so, the other knights raised a loud voice to intimidate the surroundings. It was just loud and ineffective in the game, but I was still frightened. It shouldn't have stunned or paralyzed, but it stiffens the body.

Immediately after that, the black knights charged with their shields in place.

This time, it was a Shield Bash, which was also a Weapon Skill of a Shield. It blew out the surrounding area with its shield in place. A knockback occurred and the players behind the vanguard blew up in a similar fashion.

There were no more players near the entrance of the Mansion.

In the meantime, someone comes down from the airship again. A woman with several weapons on her back and waist. The woman holds the rope in her right hand and comes down slippery.

"Sir Cecil, let's take over!" Please, Lord Sieg! "

"I think that's interesting, too." Well, let's give up this time. That's it, please! "

In response to the words of the Black Knight, the woman entered the mansion while saying such a thing.

Buy me some time, that's what I ordered, but I haven't earned anything.

And I think.

I suspected that I had put my hands on a much nastier opponent than I had imagined.

Most of the players already thought so.

Fewer than half of the players were standing on the shooter's side when the battle began.

Those who were standing and those who were waiting to be revived and fallen were already unmotivated and wanted to escape immediately, but they did not know what to do with the shooter so they remained.

Besides, if you do this and annihilate them, you'll laugh at them for being reckless. At the very least, I fought back, saying I had to pay with a single shot, but I still couldn't reach it.

For a moment, I wondered if Jolt, the leader of the famous clan "Bandit", and Viktor, the deputy leader, would be on their side when they arrived, but it wasn't that sweet.

If you think about it, Jolt is getting along with the Hayato clan. If we were on their side, we'd be on their side. I'm just looking at our tragedy with my face peeled to see if there's anything I can do.

Even in such a situation, there was some hope.

One of them was Ronios, the butler who entered the mansion, and his guards.

If you succeed in stealing the original NPC pet, even if you lose here, you will remain somewhat humiliated. At the very least, I hoped that it would succeed.

Another hope is that of Clemola, the maid who is currently climbing the rope of the airship. Just now, I was climbing a rope through a gap in the Demon King's army.

Hayato, the leader of the opposing clan. The production skill configuration is said to be weak, but it would not be a bad result if you defeated the person once. I can't say I won, but I can't say I lost.

Players were battling the NPCs who had descended to the ground with all their might to keep them at bay.

Cremola's cheer boiled as he climbed the rope.

But that turns into despair in a matter of seconds.

A giant black dragon appeared on the deck of the airship. A scary dragon with three eyes and chains around its body, although it could only be seen from a distance.

The dragon spat out a dark bracelet from its mouth, and Cremola was blown out of the airship. It looks like it already has zero HP and can hit the ground without any resistance.

Seeing that, the players ran away. I received some rare gear, but I thought I could win, so I took part. But most of that hope was lost. You can't stay on board a sinking ship.

The leader, Harrington, said, "Don't run!" But I don't have to listen to that anymore. "The players quickly ran away from the scene.

Nevertheless, it is a sweet idea. If they weren't allowed to escape now, the NPCs, including the Demon Lord, would attack.

Demon King! Fight me!

The demon kings stopped when Harrington yelled at them to see if they were aiming for a reversal.

And Demon King Lunaria slowly turned her body toward Harrington.

"You want to fight me?"

"That's right, I want a ride."

"There's no reason to do that, but I don't want you to think I ran away. Draw your sword."

Thank you-

Shortly after that, an incredibly massive magic attack hit Harrington directly, reducing his HP to zero in an instant.

When one of the players points at the airship, they see a maid holding a gun. They attacked us from that location.

"Huh? Yeah. I wasn't playing, but I got a little bit tense... Now we're going to go for it together?" I'm sorry, I'll do my best as a demon king, so stop working on Destroy. That's because even the Demon King can't stand it. "

The demon king seemed to be voice chatting, but for some reason he was apologizing. Then take a moment to exhale and then turn your gaze to us.

"Because I was angry, I decided to do it in Ransack mode like a demon king." Without a single-rider fight. "

The Demon King's army, which had stopped moving, was moving again.

Now that the maid Cremola and leader Harrington have been defeated, you can say that there is no more hope.

All the players here ran away like scattered spiders.

Ronios, the butler woman in the mansion, was in trouble.

Bring back the NPC's pet Trina and the juveniles of the Nine-tailed Fox in a "cage of discord". That's the plan this time.

The Hayatoes will definitely be angry if they take their pets as hostages back to the base. I know you're already angry at me for trying, but as far as Hayato's personality goes, there's a good chance you won't be dealing with us when it's over. So I definitely needed to take my pet.

I thought I was lucky.

There was an event called the Sake Drinking Boy Crusade when I was waiting for a chance to take my pet. When they reached the eastern country, Hayato and the others headed for Kigajima, but left their pets in the Mansion.

Wait for the members to gather before the Hayatos return to take their pet and return to their base in the Demon Kingdom.

I should have, but the event ended before I was ready.

I also had a deal with Amanda, so I had to stop the Demon King from returning to the East. I'm a little worried about the number of people gathered, but I'll never get a chance like this again. That's how I forced it.

At first, things went well. There were a few Samurais in the mansion, but they weren't that strong. I lost my escort, but eventually Ronios was the only one left.

All you have to do is take your pet and run.

Basically, a pet can't move without the order of its master. I was about to take her and leave the Mansion immediately, but for some reason, the Sancho cat, who was supposed to have no orders, resisted.

The Nine-tailed Fox just stared at us strangely without battling, but the Tribal Cat attacked to protect it.

It took a long time to resist, but I managed to put the Tributyl in the cage without defeating it.

It must have been out of luck that I took the trouble there. At the same time as I put it in the cage, the NPC woman Samurai came to the room. I knew the situation in an instant, and the sword I had immediately attacked me.

"Don't think you can die with ease!"

A woman samurai who says things like that with an angry face. I wanted to say what the people waiting outside were doing, but the moment they were attacked by Rapia, I knew why. The NPC in front of me was definitely a strong opponent.

It was here that the problem arose. It was good until I put the triple-cat in the cage, but I pulled out the rapier in a hurry to be attacked by the female samurai, so I didn't own the cage as an item and left it on the tatami mat.

It is already too late for me to notice. The samurai woman stands around to protect the cage. We didn't give each other time to put the cage in the item bag.

You have the key to opening the cage of discord. However, even if we return to our base without a cage, we may be able to open it somehow.

Basically, Shooting Stars and their clans have only members of the Combat Skill Configuration, so they didn't have 100 players to unlock, and they didn't test their skills to open the Cage of Disagreement.

And Hayato's clan has a Tamer Guild Ace. I heard that this item was escaping from the devastated organization. You'd better see a way to open it to the Tamer Guild that destroyed the tissue.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the Hayato people would come to the base in the demon kingdom, it was absolutely necessary to have a triple-cat in a cage. Even if it's a triple-haired cat that's everywhere, Hayato and the others will definitely take it back. Because I'm sure of it.

But the samurai of the woman in front of her gets in the way. I couldn't let him get close to the cage with a sneaky attack. Maybe it's because of the anger now, but the attack is rough, but it will get stronger as time goes by and you calm down.

I'm not going to lose, but I'm not going to beat you anytime soon. It means that we will definitely lose our chance to kidnap the triple-haired cat.

I don't know at this stage whether it was lucky or bad. It was a chance, but the opponent was lucky at the end. Or maybe there was something wrong with the operation rather than luck.

There was also a deal to stop the Demon King in the eastern kingdom, and I waited until the number of people gathered, but Amanda seemed to have already taken the Demon King Castle. Then, I'm even more sorry that I should have ignored and forced you to do such a thing.

Whether it's real or virtual reality, it's not what you think it is. It's probably because I don't have the power to make something happen. Finally, it is protected by the power of the foundation. Without it, people are inferior to ordinary people.

Nay fought with other foundations and Jolt left the foundation. Despite similar circumstances, their behavior and bravery are completely different from their own. They think their behavior is stupid, but they also admire it.

And Hayato, a man who wanted to open a coffee shop but quit his job on a game bounty. I think he was more of a fool than Ney or Jolt, but such a fool fulfilled his dream.

Although it is possible that he was aware of Nay, a contributor to the game in the family of the foundation, Nay would not be too critical of the game, even if it were a game. Even if you are my best friend, I will never give you money for it.

Then Hayato seized the dream with his own strength. Luck or strength. The result is all. Hayato has the power to make something happen.

Since the birth of the foundation's bloodline, it seems that Hayato already has everything, even though he is an indescribable winner.

That's why I was jealous.

If I really fought the Hayato and the others, I might be able to change whether I won or lost. That idea caused this disturbance, but now all of it is about to fail. We can't even fight each other for real.

From the outside, I heard sounds and screams that should be called explosions. Hayato and the others came back from Kigajima. The woman who noticed it, Samurai, also moved lighter than before.

You don't have to beat yourself. As soon as we wait, reinforcements will arrive. All you have to do is focus on not losing the Triple Cat. That's what you're thinking, isn't it?

You can't take a triple cat away from a calm samurai. After all, Ronios' self-abusive thoughts dominated Ronios' head, saying that he didn't have the power to do anything.

If this result is luck, I thought I should pray to God once in a while, but I laugh at myself when I come up with the idea. And I wouldn't have done this from the beginning if I had relied on God.

It was a moment when I thought I could only hope that the cage would open with this key.

"The cage can only be opened with the key you have." Return to the base with peace of mind. I'll set the stage for you. ”

A voice echoed in Ronios' head.

It's not a hallucination. It was an inanimate voice that neither the man nor the woman knew, but it definitely sounded.

For a short while, I was struck by that voice, and I was properly attacked. In an instant, he was slashed many times, his HP went to 0, and he collapsed on the tatami mat.

Soon after, Ney and the others came to the room, but for Ronios, it didn't matter. What mattered was the voice earlier.

Who was that voice?

Ronios' head was filled with that thought, but he stopped thinking. This is no longer the case. And if you believe that voice, the Hayatoes will come to take their keys seriously.

I don't know if that voice is an enemy or an ally. Neither is it, but it may be the god of this whimsical world.

I already lost to the Hayatoes when I couldn't get rid of them. Besides, I didn't make a deal, and at a time when I was expecting something that I didn't know where I was, I was no longer on my own. It's just ugly to scratch any more in such a situation.

Even so, I just wanted to fight the Hayato and the others a little more. I've already lost as a clan. The only thing left to do is fight individually. I just lost, but I think it's because of that voice. Besides, I still have luck if that voice gives me the stage I want.

I know it's egotistical like Jolt told me, but I can't stop. If you lose, you should lose everything. If you don't, you won't change. If they don't change, the blood of the foundation they hate - just like those who are only interested in stagnation and defense.

With that in mind, Ronios chose "Resurrection" from the menu that came out when he fell and returned to the base in the Demon Kingdom.
