Another Frontier Online
Love, Banana and Trust with the Demon King
At midnight three days after Hayato's pharmaceutical skills reached 200, it was announced that the event "Conflict" would be held a week later.
The start date of the event, and the description of the detailed rules, has been published, but it has been buoyant in the game since right after the date changed, even during the period of the decision of your faction.
You can change your faction until the event starts, but there are many clans in Amanda's new Demon King army right now. Because the ancient clans had joined the old Demon King's army in Lunaria.
The same is true of the old and new Demon King armies, but there is talk of overlapping with their own situation, so the players who started after the Clan War were mostly attached to the new Demon King army and seemed to have high morale.
Although I knew this would happen, it can be tough when it does. In terms of the number of clans at the moment, the opponent had nearly double the number of clans. There are more differences when you think about the number of people.
Hayato has no choice but to lament about it, so he wants to improve the quality as much as possible, and he wants to increase his strength for the rest of the week.
It was Lunaria that mattered.
Even if we win the territorial conquest, Lunaria won't be victorious until she wins against Amanda in the end.
Lunaria herself seemed to be playing mock battles with Benituru and the others in the underground arena of the Maiden's Guild, and she said that her ability to push the boundaries was about to reach 200.
Lunaria's ability to push the limit was the Demon King skill.
Increase Attack, Defense, and more with Lunaria's unique abilities. In addition, there are various other functions such as increasing the natural recovery amount of HP and MP.
Heroic Ivan also has the “Hero” skill, a similar ability. Although it was a skill that was quite privileged to have, it was only because it was a hero and a demon king who had a special position in this virtual reality.
Lunaria had a face in the cafeteria early this morning, and she was unusually left alone with Hayato.
Normally, it was a sleeping lunaria, but the event was about to start, so it was exciting. I made "Demon Lord Cookies" in the cafeteria.
Lunaria exchanges morning greetings with Hayato before eating her own cookies. I nodded once and then looked towards Hayato and smiled.
"My skills are going to be 200, and as the Demon King, it's time to break the shell." I intend to descend as the True Demon King Lunaria. I can see that from the fact that cookies are made. I'm going to sell it as a true Demon Lord cookie. "
"Good luck with the cookies." I want to improve my skills before the event. It's important to know what you can do. ”
“I think it's going to be amazing. It's not bad to embark on the conquest of the world as it is."
First, think only about reclaiming the Demon King Castle.
Recently, more players have reached 200 abilities. It turns out that every skill has a special performance when it reaches 200. Some have only a bonus of Attack and Defense, while others unlock a completely different set of abilities.
What happens when my Demon Lord skill reaches 200? It would be impossible to say not to expect.
That said, we don't have time right now. The closer the skill is to the max, the harder it is to climb. It is also possible that the number of events will not reach 200 by the start of the event. That's where Hayato had to work hard.
Your strength is determined by your specifications and skill set, but so is your gear.
I'll make you a real Excalibur, so be sure to practice dual swords until then.
"That's fine. I've been asking Cecil a lot lately, so I think I can handle it." But Cecil, Benitul, and Simon liked the fight too much. Personally, I like Noato's way of life. "
"It's both extreme..."
"By the way, did you know about the Stone of the Wise Man?" I heard you asked the maid guild to investigate. "
"It's not perfect, but I know it to some extent." I'm going to ask another clan member to come with me today. "
Is Hayato going too?
"In case something happens." Thanks for collecting the items, but I can't seem to go with a rope.... "
I know how to collect items to a certain extent by asking the Maid Guild, but I have a lot of speculations and I don't mean that I can get them for sure. It is conceivable that the reasoning is completely different, so Hayato also went there.
Zaratan turned out to be impossible to defeat. Then what should I do? It seems that there is a dungeon on Zaratan's back that leads to his body. If I go in from there, there may be an item.
As for the bronze giant doll Taros, it was said that he protected the treasure in the deepest part of the mirage city of Arcadia in the Land of Spirits.
As far as Phoenix's blood is concerned, Jolt has already taught us about the habitat. However, I knew that even if I defeated him, I wouldn't get Phoenix's blood, and I was going to ask Maris and Surya to tame me if it was possible.
Most of this information was obtained from the NPCs by the Maid Guild, but there is a lot of information that has been passed on as a legacy rather than a certainty. There was no reliable information, so Hayato decided to go there.
(The women said that they didn't want to go to Zaratan's body, and they didn't know where Arcadia was in the Land of Spirits. If you're in Phoenix, you won't be able to take up that much time just because you ask Maris and the others.....)
There are many restrictions, but I can't cry. Besides, I don't think it would be a problem if big clans like Bandit and Imperial would cooperate. Worst of all, it doesn't matter if it's completed since the event started. At least not until we face Amanda in person.
"Well, I'll take care of it." I wish Lunaria-san could be stronger. "
"Fu, I'll leave it to you." Amanda will be strong enough to kill you in an instant. "
When he heard Amanda's name, Hayat thought:
This is virtual reality, but the memories of the NPCs are based on reality. Amanda had already returned to her memory, but Lunaria was curious about how she felt.
Well, Lunaria-san doesn't like Amanda, right?
"I hate it more than a centipede."
"I know I hate you so much, but why do I hate you so much?"
Hayato knows the relationship between Lunaria and Amanda to some extent.
Born and raised in the same laboratory. Participated as a virtual reality test player for different reasons. It seems that the two have never met each other before.
However, Amanda, who had excelled in the laboratory, and Lunaria, who was said to have failed, were quite famous.
They met in this virtual reality and teamed up with the clan, but now Lunaria hates Amanda. Amanda hates Lunaria, too, but she doesn't even know why.
According to Daté, she did so even before she lost her memory, but after the memory was altered, she wanted to see how she remembered it.
Lunaria's face grew ever more unpleasant, but she took a long breath and then looked at Hayato.
"Amanda looked down on everyone. I didn't realize it at first, but I knew it was always the case, and I forced my clan to leave.”
"Well, everybody--"
Everyone of the Demons.
Hayato is understood to be a member of the Lunaria clan "Ambrosia".
"After losing to Ivan and the others in the Clan War - exactly after the conversation with the gods - Amanda made a foul of everyone. I scolded them saying that it was everyone's fault that they lost, that it was useless, and so on. You can say whatever you want about me, but I can't forgive you for saying bad things about everyone."
Even when Lunaria remembered it, her anger came back to her, and she waved her arms around and turned away.
The way you get angry is childish, but I guess you're not that smart.
"I'm sorry, you reminded me of something I don't like."
When Hayato said that, Lunaria closed her eyes and took a big inhale, then slowly exhaled over time and shook her head to the side.
"It's not about Hayato apologizing." It was all Amanda's fault. I was grateful for talking to me alone, for scouting everyone to the clan, and for using me as a leader, but when I heard from the beginning that you were going to use us like a tool, all thanks were reversed. If it's true, I don't want to be involved again. "
It's about the demons, isn't it?
Lunaria, who was angry, nodded with a smile.
"Yes. A very important companion. Everyone did me a favor. I was sad when I heard that you were with Amanda, but I was glad to know that you were brainwashed. You didn't really betray me, did you?"
"That's true, isn't it? If you heard what I just heard, you probably have no reason to follow Amanda."
If you're going to side with someone who said you were going to treat it as a tool, you need a reason. That's probably why they're holding someone hostage.
"Now that I know that if I defeat Amanda, I can solve the brainwashing problem for everyone, I'm serious about defeating Amanda."
I'm looking forward to it.
"Yeah, but I'm not going to underestimate Amanda. Hayato-san, please help me."
"Of course --- I'll let you have your favorite Lunaria thing for breakfast." Of course, I'll prepare it of the highest quality. ”
"As expected of the Demon King Army, the Seven Demon Generals, the arrogant Hayato...!"
"You're not arrogant at all, are you?"
After the exchange, Lunaria noticed something on her face, glanced around, and then approached Hayato.
As the demon king, I want to check with Hayato-san.
Lunaria whispered to Hayato.
I don't know what I want to check, but I don't want to be asked around because it's a whisper, Hayato whispered back.
What is it?
"What does it look like with Esha-chan?" Just tell the demon king where you're going. "
For a moment, Hayato's head turned pure white. But I quickly regained my temper.
If it's Esha, I think it's the furthest to the eastern country.
"That kind of bluffing doesn't make sense to the Demon King." To be clear, I'm asking you what kind of men and women you've become. "Banana in Love"
"... first of all, can I ask you why you're asking me such a question?"
"To put it simply, I'm betting with all the black roses." Hayato and Esha have a relationship, but I bet they know where they're going. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret from Esha-chan. "
"You wanted me to keep it to myself, too." In other words, what does the Demon King's army do? "
I wanted to say what I was doing in the upcoming important event, and what I could not lose from the Demon King's army, which was to reclaim the Demon King's Castle.
"The Demon King Army is in the process of a women's power improvement campaign. I'm tired of all the fighting these days. In addition, the adult demon king also liked love bananas. So how does it feel? I bet on a replacement diary."
Is an adult demon king a child? Besides, the taste is too old. I only hear about the diary of exchange in the literature of a long time ago.
Hayato wanted to put in the Tsukumi, but he was patient there. It's just a little scary to keep quiet. Lunaria's eyes were full of expectations.
"By the way, what kind of bet do other people have?"
"Rosalie said that Esha-san will bring food to Hayato-san's mouth, and that she is doing it about ahn. I think it's a bit of a shame."
"... how can Esha give food to others?"
"Then why don't you drink melon juice with a special straw?" By the way, the straw is heart-shaped. I heard that only powerful couples are allowed to drink. "
"What is that? It's the same thing, but Esha can't give someone melon juice, can she?"
"Huh...?"
"No, I, uh, I don't know."
"Maybe you didn't do anything...?"
I don't think it's anything to do with men or women in the first place.
I live with you in reality, but I can still say with my chest open that I'm not dating. Sometimes I think it's okay to say it.
Hearing the answer, Lunaria shook her head sideways.
"I was disappointed in Mr. Hayato."
"I was disappointed in the Demon King army." I don't think so, but you're not betting on Gill, are you? "
"Because Gill-chan is so neglected." However, he said, "A man can't handle what he really cares about."
"You look good with Gill-san's stuff." Even so, don't say something profound--no, I'm not saying that's the case. "
After that, I was still shaken to love by Lunaria, but Hayato shrugged.
And the demon king's army breakfast that day was a little poor.
After breakfast, Hayato and the others went out to sea in search of Zaratan on an airship.
There were two airships. Hayato Airship and Bandit Airship. There were about forty of them each, and eighty of them would hit the ground running.
All of them are men.
In terms of going to Zaratan's body, people who hated not only women but also men continued to emerge, but as a result of being a major clan, we were able to recruit members with abundant talent.
Bandit, Imperial, Stelkst, Over the Top, and the Dark Ten Knights led by Hayato and Gil. There is nothing you can do about it, even though it's just men.
"They all have pretty good muscles. I want to scout for the Demon King's army."
That's what Gil said.
The purpose of this time is to collect items that will become Sage Stone materials. As a result, I was offered to join the excalibur exclusively for Lunaria.
Gil, thank you very much for today.
"What, this is the one to thank." If I wanted to create a new weapon for Lunaria, I should have a Demon King army. Even so, Lord Hayato had a wide face. I didn't expect to be able to gather this many people. I just got the information from the maid guild yesterday, didn't I? "
"There were various handouts." It's not me, it's Jolt's hand. "
"Still, I guess it's the connections of Lord Hayato." And for this, you're giving us information that only Lord Hayato knows? I'm sorry to hear that monopolizing it would be so profitable. ”
"When will you say you can hold it there?" And since Lunaria-san and everyone in the Demon King's Army are taking care of you, there's nothing like this. "
Even if everyone fights in the same Faction at the event, it's hard to believe that you'll be able to help them for free. In any case, Jolt gave all kinds of information to other clans.
It provides information on how to build airships, how to make replica recipes, and even information on the sage's stone.
From Gil's point of view, Hayato was doing his best for the Demon King's army, but Hayato also had the purpose of protecting Diete. For that reason, providing information is not a big deal.
"Lord Hayato has no greed!"... oops. Now Lord Hayato just slapped his shoulder and fell to the ground. "
Gil tries to slap Hayato on the shoulder, but he stops it on the verge.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
"No, no. I heard that was done to recapture the Demon King Castle." It's not a nuisance to thank you. ”
Having said that, Gil stared at Hayato.
Um, is there something wrong?
No, I thought it would be even more fun if Lord Hayato officially belonged to the Demon King army!
"For once, you're one of the Seven Demon Generals of the Demon King Army..."
"Hahaha, that's right!" Even if I took back the Demon King Castle, I really wanted you to stay in the same position. Do you think you can get me a room in the Demon King's Castle? Sometimes monsters roam around, but it's a good training. "
"It's a production job, so the monster is a bit... oh, yeah. By the way, do you know more about the demons and Amanda? Since the battle is about to start, we're gathering information.
Lunaria, the Rosary, and the Gills were so busy that they didn't have much information about them. Hayato does not fight, but there is a chance that he can create an item that will give him the advantage of fighting.
"I'm not familiar with Amanda-sama." However, according to what I've heard, you have the ability to move beyond the laws of physics like Lunaria's Black Swan. "
Hayato nods.
I was listening to the story. Amanda says that as a fortified person, she can think at an unusually fast rate, and in this virtual reality, she can move three or four times more than usual. It is said to be equivalent to Lunaria's Black Swan, but the specific ratio is not known.
And the weapon I have is a sword called Durandal.
"This is the first sword I've heard of." Do you know what it's capable of? ”
"I heard it was about the same level of attack as Arondite." However, like Arondite, it didn't have many effects, such as Ignoring Defense. There is only one performance. "
Just one thing?
"Hmm. I didn't actually see it, but it doesn't seem to have any endurance." I mean, it won't break. "
"It's... again..."
"It could be said to be a weapon conducive to long-term warfare." Any weapon will break one day. In fact, Lord Lunaria beat Lord Ivan with it. "
Lunaria and Ivan fought near the base, but it was the durability of the weapon that made the difference. An Excalibur with a freshly fixed Arondite and reduced Durability. That's what divided the victory from the defeat.
"Lunaria-sama will only win short-term battles." But I don't think it's that easy to hit. I don't think it would be good if Lord Amanda were to stick to her defenses. "
Normal motor vision and reflexes can't react to Lunaria's attacks with the Black Swan activated. But Amanda can move beyond the laws of physics, just like Lunaria. It's a tough move to hit.
(Is it an unbreakable weapon? For now, there's only one weapon called Durandal. I was expecting 200 blacksmithing skills, but even with the same weapon, Lunaria couldn't use the Black Swan without an Arondite. Can I expect it to be used in combination with Excalibur white lightening? But even if it moves even faster, can you use it on Lunaria-san...?)
Even if you can drive a car, you can't necessarily drive a sports car. If the acceleration force doubles, you will not be able to drive with your usual sense. Even if you can, it's at a level where you can slow down to the speed of a normal car and manage to move it. That doesn't make sense.
In this case, it's not a vehicle, it's my body, but this is virtual reality.
I don't know if my movements and thoughts engage well. Even if the movement can be nearly twice as fast as before, you will need a sense of being able to maintain its top speed, reflex nerves, and thinking speed.
And when Hayat thought a lot, Gil laughed, Hahahaha.
"Lord Hayato, we have no choice but to think of something extra." Let's trust Lunaria-sama. "
Huh?
"I'm not talking about not thinking about anything, am I?" Lunaria was able to live up to our expectations. Sometimes it's a mess, but when it's time to do it, it does it. We just have to believe it. "
"... I see. You shouldn't have thought of Lunaria as normal." Then do we do what we can? "
That's fine. Lord Lunaria is sure to beat Lord Amanda.
When Gil said so with a smile, he heard Zaratan from around him.
Hayato and Gil also saw everyone pointing from the deck.
There was a turtle armor, a giant island, moving slowly across the ocean.
