After three fights, the face of the 26th group finally reached the second boss area.
Behind the tenge's gaze are huge arched doors in light purple.
Similar to the first boss area, a strange pattern combining multiple different shapes is engraved on the door, and I even feel a strange atmosphere. There was a treasure embedded here.
So Fukuyama began to spin words to stop everyone.
"Well, this time we're all going to have a boss fight, including me."
"Does that mean Fukuyama-san will be with you?
"Yes, I'm under Mizue's direction, so please use me as a party member. Of course, they use skills and weapons."
"Okay... what about Tenge?
Mizue looks toward the tenge.
Tenji replied flatly and without panic.
"I'll see how it goes at first. If Mizue-kun gives me instructions, can I join in the direction?
"Okay."
Mizue looked suspiciously at the creepy tenge that only penetrated the passive posture.
What on earth is this young man thinking about taking this exam?
What are you standing here for?
Mizue had no idea why.
To be honest, Tenge didn't interfere with the party, but rarely flies instructions from behind, so there was even a helpful passage for them.
But I don't know why.
Everyone here wants to join Chariot, but he has the courage to stand here. But Tenge wasn't the only one.
It was a river that I thought might have an intention from the Chariot side, but from what I was talking to Fukuyama during the battle, I learned that Tenji was only the same participant as us.
That's why I sublimated the existence of Noriji Tenjo to a more creepy existence.
(That's a creepy guy... he's always laughing, and he doesn't know what he's thinking. Well, can we talk about him now? Focus on the boss in front of you)
Mizue distracts herself from the tenge and turns to Fukuyama with the other two. There was a brilliant face telling him that he was ready, and the river was a little relieved.
They have the same aspirations as themselves.
"Okay, let's do it."
Mizue put one hand in the notch of the bill on the door of the boss's room.
When a rusty sound of metal echoes through the dungeon, the door opens by itself. About half of the doors were opened, and I found out the full contents of the boss room.
"Round stage, blue and gold decorations, old thrones, run-down shrine orders... not much different from before."
I hear so. Come on, let's win. "
"Yeah."
"Yes"
They slowly enter the boss's room.
Something doesn't happen as soon as you enter the room, and in the boss room of this sub-dungeon, it seems that when you step into the floor with a square magic formation about 10 m in diameter in the center of the area, the magic formation reacts and forms a boss on the throne.
Then Mizue stepped into the magic team on the floor, and it was a short while ago.
Everybody's coming.
The river dropped its center of gravity slightly after confirming that a small black cross had begun to gather on the throne. The hand is held by a serial sword of an industry with no blade spills, and has a sophisticated sword-shaped stance.
The crucifixes gathered together gradually to form a doll of about two meters.
It was a rusty silver plate armor.
I don't know if the contents are hollow, but it seems to be wrapped in black darkness, so I can't confirm it clearly.
Holding a sword as tall as a knight in both hands, a boss appeared in front of them with a look reminiscent of a Western knight.
So Fukuyama, who royally stood right behind the three of them, began to talk to everyone with a casual voice as usual.
"This time the boss is commonly known as" Rusty Knight ", the boss who shakes the big sword around the mold. Not as big as Gufu, but even a powerful swing attack is less powerful if you can block it. This time, the challenge is how to treat me and Kusatsu and the shield player. Here we go!
"" "Yes!
As Fukuyama said so, the three quickly regrouped into an optimal formation.
Usually Mizue came out first, and behind that, Kusatsu and Tachibana took a line. But this time, as Fukuyama advised, Kusatsu was pushed to the front, and Mizue and Tachibana lined up behind them diagonally to ambush them with their weapons.
"Fukuyama-san, please wait there! Let's see how Kusatsu can stand it first."
"Okay."
Mizue immediately gave instructions to Fukuyama as well.
However, the instructions are waiting, and we want to determine how much we can fight ourselves first.
"─!"
The rusty knight kicked the ground hard and approached with his sword on his side.
Kusatsu, the first boss, was a little strong.
I always took a strong stance to come forward and return the tackle, but all I had to do was stand still on the spot.
What Kusatsu has in his hand is Buckler.
It is not very suitable for a mere waiting stroke.
While realizing this, Fukuyama kept looking at the next scene in silence.
The big sword was swinging sideways, tearing the air apart.
"--uhh!?
A dagger clashed with Kusatsu's buckler as he roared.
Kusatsu!
"Kusatsu-san!
Kusatsu lost weight to the strength of the rusty knight and the weight of the great sword.
We managed to defend ourselves with a buckler, but the opponent's foolishness lifted us gently and blew us to the ground far away.
Should I still call myself a sportsman just to be chosen as a representative of Japan's generation?
Though he rolled the ground like a ball several times around, he was aggressively acquiring the body with his proud motor nerve and managed to endure it.
"Are you okay?!
"Yeah, I'm fine!
Kusatsu responded immediately to Mizue's words.
Attempts to stand up in preparation for the next attack.
"Ugh!?
At that moment, there was a strong pain in the belly.
After hearing the cry of sorrow, Mizue soon realized that Kusatsu could not fight and gave instructions to Fukuyama.
"Mr. Fukuyama, please! Can I take care of the defense of the Great Sword?
"Yeah, let me handle it."
At the same time as Mizue instructed, the rusty knight once again placed his dagger directly beside him. Then he ran away whispering metal noises.
The next target was Mizue Seiki, who was giving instructions out loud.
Suddenly, being targeted by your boss makes you sweat cold on your neck.
Still, Mizue believed in the strongest card, Fukuyama, and began to run to the rusty knight without fear.
Tachihua, who was watching the situation nearby, rushed out in a hurry not to be late for the river.
Likes ~
Fukuyama saw the brave action and unexpectedly leaked a voice of praise.
"─!"
Again, the rusty knight shook the big sword in the perfect timing while measuring time.
It was a river where I thought I was afraid of the big sword that was approaching right in front of me, but I managed to regain my mind with the intention of definitely meditating my eyes.
And with the rusty knight's helmet on, he placed his serial sword in the upper stage.
It was then.
"" Rosemoon, Kokawa ".
Fukuyama activated his skill.
Between Mizue and the Great Sword, a small Rasemon, about one meter on each side, appeared and built a wall.
Earlier, the mighty sword that blew up Kusatsu the giant body scattered a rustling sound and sparks, so it was easy to catch.
"Good judgment, Mizue-kun! Believe me now and focus on the attack! Attackers deal damage to enemies and become attackers for the first time! Those who believe and challenge their allies deserve to be attackers!
Yes!
Meanwhile, Mizue was anxious for a rusty knight.
He stopped suddenly in front of the boss and showed a leap as far as he could. At the same time, I waved down my sword from the upper stage.
"Whoa!
"─!"
The rusty swordsman rushed to catch the sword with the other hand.
However, Mizue slipped through that one-handed defense with a gorgeous snap on his wrist.
The serial sword struck the rusted swordsman's helmet.
Together with a spark called Gakin, it triggers the special effect of the serial sword "Double Strike".
A serial sword.
A Grade 4 weapon that deals double damage in a single attack.
Mizue struck the rusty knight's helmet twice as hard as he could.
But...
"Ha!? Stiff!?"
The helmet stayed small and depressed, not a decisive blow.
The serial sword was known to be a powerful sword, and even armor-shaped monsters were famous for causing damage to the interior. It has the property of a so-called penetration attack.
However, this effect is limited to normal monsters, and only Boss Monsters can pass Piercing Attacks.
"Yaah!
Tachibana, who was aiming for the gap, protruded vigorously through the seedlance, targeting the rusty knight's joint.
The incision entered the elbow joint of the right hand so as to be inhaled, and Tachibana felt something piercing.
"Hey!
Shake the spear to the side and cut off the meat inside.
Then, it was discovered that a liquid like black blood splashed out of the plate armor, causing damage even from the side.
The rusty knight stepped behind him.
Immediately Mizue and Tachibana left the scene and secured a time with the rusty knights.
"Mizue-san, it's the joint part!
"Oh, I see. That's Tachibana, she has a good eye for observation."
The rusty knight, who had his right elbow severed, lowered his right hand loosely without force and held his sword back with his left hand.
Looking at the situation, they were making the same assumption at the same time.
"Tachihua, it's really nice. If we can attack all the joints, we'll see the chance."
"That sounds right, let's do it! With the condolences of Kusatsu!
"... no, I'm not dead yet."
Tachibana suddenly made a natural remark, and Kusatsu, who was evacuating to avoid getting in the way of the battle at a distance from the wall, broke into it.
As he watched from behind, Fukuyama smiled as he whistled.
Even the serious river next door smiled unexpectedly.
"Ah! I'm sorry! No mourning!
Tachibana blushed her face and turned to the rusty knight again.
So Fukuyama opened his mouth to give advice again.
"I really like it! That's right! Rusty knights can't move if they cut off all of their joints because of their traits, and they are judged dead. However, there is no point in cutting off your neck at the end. Keep up the good work!
"Yes!
As the two responded energetically, the rusty knight, who had lost one hand, kicked the ground again.
