Blade Online

The number of masked people surrounding us is about ten. The weapons used are fragmented and mixed with men and women. The common denominator is about a mask that mimics the look on your face. Not a word has been uttered, and the siege has narrowed with giddy.

The "Advantage" man stabbed with a knife pulled out the knife that was stabbing him in the back, he stood up and set up his weapon. Confirming it, Kazuya and the others gaze at each other and nod at each other, putting up their weapons and staring at the masked people. The hand axe is also pulled out of the axe and placed without alarm.

Monsters are still raging around in the city and weak players are screaming and running away confused. There will be other guilds and parties rescuing the players, but if Advantage can't move here, he could have helped. He could be dead. And you can't keep Lynn in such a dangerous place forever.

The fact that a monster is raging should be dangerous even for the player Ghoul. Can't you negotiate and pull this off?

To negotiate, step forward and open your mouth.

"Can't you see the monsters are raging around!? Even you guys would be in danger if we fought here! Can you pull this off for once?

The first woman to throw a knife has thrown a knife in both hands instead of responding. Make a sharp noise and play a few knives flying in with a machete. The others moved as if that had been a signal. They're shrinking the distance while we're circular so we can't get away.

"Axe! You stay back! Lynn, please!

Put Lynn next to the hand axe and intercept the knife woman who ran from the front. The members of Advantage also started fighting with those who came before them, back-to-back with each other. This one is losing in numbers, but I am confident that I will not lose in strength. Fighting while surrounded by a dozen people, like last time, is tight on boulders, but if it's about a few people, we can handle it.

The knife woman threw all the knives she had in her hand. Play with a machete, twist your body and dodge everything.

"Eh."

In the gap being conscious by the knife, the knife woman was pulling out a dagger-like little one-handed sword on her back and coming in in time with her posture low as if crawling on the ground. A dagger in my hand comes straight at my heart.

Understanding that it was inevitable, I took the dagger with my left hand. The pain of the blade penetrating and burning through my palms strikes me. In the face of about to groan, he shifts his back wide back toward the woman whose movements have stopped, and he greets the head thrust that has gained momentum.

Goddamn dull noise, the woman's mask smashes. Slap a knee kick toward the belly of a woman who leaned heavily behind her. Is the woman speed-oriented, not equipped with shields and lightweight protective gear? Even though my attacks with less powerful bare hands have risen in level and my physical abilities have increased considerably, a woman cannot withstand my attacks.

Exhale small and wave down the machete lifted with one hand to the woman who broke her body in the shape of a crease. Women raise their arms and defend themselves. I would be willing to take it with a protector covering the back of my hand.

Since I am injured with my left hand, I cannot shake with both hands, but I have trained to shake with one hand before. It was powerful enough to slash off the arms of a woman who was only equipped with light protective equipment.

At the same time as the sound of cuts is squeaky, the heavy response is transmitted through the machete. The severed arm rotates in a circle and falls to the ground to become a grain of light. It's not bleeding, but it's pretty shocking. But I don't think of it as anything anymore. I would do as much to protect Lynn as I could.

The woman didn't groan one thing and immediately jumped back in the Steps. For a moment, I had eyes for her.

He had cloudier and more vain eyes without light.

Unlike her, who had fallen back, a double-sword man who activated her skills penetrated her. It's a simultaneous attack that swings the sword in your right hand down from the diagonal as you swing it down from the front.

[Golden Blessing] So the wound on his arm was healing, so he shook the machete with both hands and shook it to the side giraffe regardless of the man.

A man's twin swords loomed in front of me, but it never struck me. Make sure the man's upper body slips and falls to the ground. Lower body loses strength and kneels.

He slashed the top off his waist with a machete. I could tell by the way it feels right now, but these guys are still not on a big level. It's not that the equipment is very good, or that the technology is superior.

This is going to work out.

When relieved in his heart, he slashes off the neck of a man scratching algae on the ground. The feeling of taking a life with your own hands. Cold stuff runs on my back, and my whole body is about to lose its strength. I suppressed them with previous experience and the will to protect phosphorus to see what was going on around them.

As I expected, everyone in Advantage was fighting well against the masked guys. Kazuya and Egg 1 are fighting multiple to one, but still pushing their opponents. It will also be a matter of time before you wipe out your opponent.

Because they are hunting down their opponents, the masked men have not been able to get to Lynn and the axe. Assuming we hit the Lins through between, even these guys won't beat the hand axe.

Don, I can see crystal dragons walking to cochlear from the front, ringing the ground with Don. We're still quite a distance away but definitely headed for Cochilla.

Our strength would take us down with a crystal dragon, but his braces have a wide range. In case something happens, it's better to kick some of the Corpse Eaters out and get away with it.

The masked ones who already had ten have been defeated by me and four by Advantage. Only the other half. I turned my gaze forward to stab the knife woman to join Advantage, and I remembered Zowari's unpleasant sensation and jumped diagonally back in Step.

The next moment, a man with a mask was waving down the sword where I was until just now. There is a blade in the ground.

I look around in a hurry at the raid of a man who wasn't here until now.

"Shit......"

Just like the first time we were attacked, we were surrounded by ten or so masked men. This has put cochlea at a disadvantage in terms of numbers again. Check the perimeter carefully, but I can't feel any other signs at the moment. But given the scale of "The Corpse Eater," there may still be ambushes, and most importantly, I still don't see the warrior needle. The situation is unnecessarily unfavourable, as opposed to returning to shaking it out.

A man pounding his tongue and pulling his sword out of the ground is about to rush this way, so he lifts his machete to respond.

At that time, the movement of the Great Sword man stopped in the shadow that appeared abruptly. When I tremble with my body, I feel like I don't know what to do.

The identity of that shadow that came from somewhere was Katana. Katana glances at the man with no expression, and then turns her gaze to the people surrounding us. The masks, who were gazed at by Katana, stopped moving just like the man of the Great Sword.

"Let's go now"

Nodding at Katana's words, I suddenly call out to Advantage, where they are surprised to stop moving, and run over Lynn again. Crystal dragons are right behind us, and we don't have time to chimp. I made sure everyone in Advantage was following me from behind, and I followed Katana's back.

――――――――――――

We moved to a smaller number of monsters and made sure the masked people weren't there, so we exhaled in the back alley. Everyone but Katana and Lynn is putting their shoulders up and down.

Whether the other guilds had evacuated them or the monsters had killed them, I had not heard the screams and outrages I had just heard. Sounds like we'd better evacuate the city early. But the "Corpse Eater" may still be wandering, so I left a message for the Nine Dragons. They're going to have backup in this city in a while. I'm going to be waiting here for a while.

There are no words for us that hang on the wall.

When you calm down and sort out what's happened, your head is not going to calm down again. I guess it's a situation where we're all confused and don't know what to do. Even Katana is now faceless and silent.

"Hey, Akatsuki."

"Hmm? What's up?"

Egg One has spoken in a whisper.

"Did you talk to Katana right before we got here?

"? Oh, we talked"

"Were you telling me where to go or something?

"Yes, but..."

Answering the question, Egg One nodded and went away. I wonder what it was.

Well, I don't think about anything else right now, and I think you should just think about safety. The movement is dull even if it is confusing.

Wrap up what you're going to do in your head as you stroke Lynn's head sitting next to you. As I am messaging my current location, it will be fine if I wait here, but I do not know how long it will be safe here. You'd better keep an eye out and keep your perimeter on guard. Kazuya and the others are talking about something, so the moment I get up to say I'm going to stand guard,

"Get away from him!

That's what Egg 1 shouted as he pointed at Katana. When something was going on and me and Lynn were solidifying, Kazuya and the others grabbed our arms and made us distance ourselves from Katana. The other members are laying down their weapons and staring at Katana.

Katana looked at us with the expression that she didn't know what was going on.

"What do you mean? What's going on?"

Asking Kazuya and the others for an explanation, Egg 1 replied, "Katana could be in contact with the Corpse Eaters" while alerting Katana without alarm. At first I wondered if they were saying it with a joke or something, but their expression was serious.

"For what reason do you say that? In this situation, it's not going to go out of style."

Shake off your arms and ask with a tight voice. You can't keep your mouth shut if a boulder tells you that to a friend. Lynn also looks at the Egg One and the others with a blaming look as to why they say that.

"Raids by the Corpse Eaters that were there in the past. Katana is involved in all of this. That's true of the Coalition Destruction in Bloody Forest, and Katana was involved somewhere in the" Corpse Eater "entanglement that happened several times after that."

"That's all there is to suspect Katana. Katana has been a strategy team for a long time. I've been working in a lot of different places, so it wouldn't be weird to be involved with Corpse Eaters."

"That's right. Don't you have a good reason?

Katana slightly irritates her expression and asks Egg One.

"There would have been a case of Akatsuki being attacked by the Corpse Eater while he was doing a mole slap."

"Oh......"

"Who was it then that taught you a hidden spot called mole tapping?

"That's katana..."

"Come on, I just taught my friends a hole, didn't I?

"Then how many guys knew you were going for a mole slap then?

Only Lynn and Katana knew where I was going then. I called for help, and by Katana, Arthur and the others found out where I was, but that was after the attack. Lynn and Katana were the only ones who knew where I was going before they attacked me.

"But, Akatsuki, you've been going to a mole beating place for days, and there must have been some different players along the way, right? I wonder if there's a player in there who noticed Akatsuki attacking you.

"Surely there may be that. Well, this is just one of those stories about you being suspicious. As a reason to be suspicious, Katana, where were you the day the Coalition Raids met?

"Where have you been? I've been spending a lot of time in the inn."

Hearing Katana speak, the Egg One and the others made their expressions angry.

"You're lying. That day, I saw you walking into the LifeTree area around noon. Think about it in time, you would have been somewhere in the LifeTree area when the raid met. Where were you in the area?

"Oh, man. What do you mean?"

I couldn't go about the Egg One story and I accidentally stopped talking.

'Cause you won't have a choice. It's the first time Katana was in the Life Tree the day we met.

"I was walking around the city all by myself to build a new weapon with the items I got. So I found Katana's back, and I followed her back to thank her. Then he walked into the area alone."

"Hey, why don't you shut up?"

"I just happened to think that at that time, I just walked inside the area. I still want to think so."

Katana is listening in silence.

"But just before we got here, Akatsuki told us where to go to Katana."

"... it"

"It's hard to believe that" The Corpse Eater "happened to come by chance to raid Akatsuki at that time"

……

"And the fact that they raided at that time meant that those people knew this was going to happen (...)"

Katana puts her hand on her mouth and shuts up without saying anything.

"My prediction is that Katana is connected in some way to" The Corpse Eater "and I knew that the city would be raided by monsters..."

…………

"What I've just raised is certainly not evidence that Katana is. I just explained why I wondered."

"Eh."

Katana dropped her gaze on the floor and raised something like a groan.

"I want you to laugh that I'm a ridiculous reasoning. Katana, argue with me about what I just said."

…………

Katana says nothing.

"Oh, man. Tell him. I had nothing to do with the Dead Eaters!

That's what I sound like, but Katana moans and covers her face with her hands.

The field air cools rapidly.

"Hey, Lynn!

Before I could say anything, Lynn, standing next to me, moved.

Walk right in front of Katana and stare at us.

"Please don't say terrible things to Mr. Katana! That's not what Mr. Katana would do! Right!? Brother!"

To Lynn's words, I snorted after a moment of distress.

That's right.

There's no way Katana is connected to The Corpse Eater.

"Ugh..."

"Oh, hey, Katanah"

Something flashed on Lynn's back as she approached Katana, who was groaning, to say something.

For some reason, Phosphorus' HP was dyed red and there was little left.

I don't know what happened, I get hardened.

"Ugh."

At the next moment, a blade grew from Lynn's left chest.

"Ah."

Lynn shouted like a shudder and looked at her own chest.

"Ugh. Ugh."

Phosphorus' body becomes a grain of light.

"Ugh"

Ugh. Ugh.

"Ugh."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hehe hehe hehe hehe

hehe hehe hehe hehe

hehe hehe hehe hehe hehe.

extinguishing phosphorus, laughing as troubled,

Look at me.

"I love you."

And whine.

Disappeared.

Huh?

Ha.

Huh?

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

Laugh like Katana is crazy.

Lynn is dead.
