"It's the last boss offensive meeting."

Dragon Imperial Palace Conference Room.

Surrounding the round table are all but a few offensive players, and courageous players who have named themselves wanting to join the fight. There were quite a large number of people in the conference room, and not all of them could get inside the conference room, assuming that a large number of players would be gathered.

Anger, sadness, confusion, fright, and obsession.

The Nine Dragons raise their voices as they look around the center of the round table at the players with every look on their face. The deliberate players shut their mouths simultaneously, and the tense tranquility wraps up the conference room.

This is the last time.

That's the last of it.

Players with a variety of emotions also felt that the end was fast approaching. I don't know what results await me. But we've already got some sort of settlement in this world.

They assembled here to put the settlement on their own hands.

"I think the boss's dossier has already gone, but if anyone hasn't come around, let me know"

(9) Dragon proceeds with the material about the boss he produced after his return from Dead End. The players in the offensive group lose sight of the material as they are used to, but the players who are new to the conference look around as if they were a little nervous.

In anticipation of those players settling completely, Nine Dragons begins explaining the boss.

(9) Only the well-attended voice of the dragon echoes into the conference room.

Luke, already face-to-face with the boss and knowing his features and plans for the offense, was outside the conference room in contact with players who would protect the perimeter of the Dragon Emperor's Palace.

"Oh, the meeting is going well. As soon as the meeting is over, after you are ready, head out to the Dead End again"

Raids by monsters continue even as meetings are thus taking place. The monsters that were all around them were swept away by the efforts of the twisters, but still, after time, monsters emerge out of nowhere.

To protect it, there was a minimum of fighting power around the Dragon Emperor's Palace.

To say the least, they are the best in this world.

――――――――――――――――

A giant spider progresses through the city with eight elongated legs. Its toxic green body hair covering its entire body makes it physiologically averse to what it sees.

The size of the spider is large enough to cross the small inn surrounding it, and the way you walk while destroying the building with your feet is reminiscent of a part of the panic movie.

Spiders jump on the little prey standing in front of them as they gouge two pairs of angles wide apart. I jump from that giant with a jump force I can't imagine, and I follow it with a horn.

"That's ugly"

The little prey the spider jumped on lifted a sickle of disproportionate size to a body as thin as a wire, whining in a mocking tone. The sickle blade begins to emit purple light. The creepy figure is like Reaper.

The spider shakes countless eyes as if frightened by its appearance. But the giant that's jumped up, it's the only way to fall anymore.

"Goodbye."

On the verge of the horn capturing its prey, the purple light sparkled. The light drained through the giant spider. In that next moment, the spider's body was severed in two, unnecessarily clashing to the ground.

"Absolutely… the form of mowing a life is what I call my sickle."

That's how the Reaper meditation shrugged as he stroked his partner, Sickle, with a lukewarm look.

He didn't participate in the boss offense and took up the defense of the Dragon Emperor's Palace because he didn't care what the Dead End boss looked like.

"Hey, I knew it wasn't a big deal"

Watching his back woven with black robes, the executives of The Light That Illuminates, though, grunt. Nor does he take part in the boss attack, and he is one of those who defends the Dragon Emperor's Palace.

"I'm not dissatisfied with protecting everyone, but I'm the only one with a thin shadow..."

His grunt disappeared when no one reached him and he was drunk by the monster screams.

―――――――――――――――

"It was thanks to everyone in the offensive group who believed in me that I was able to get here. Thanks."

In the conference room where the Boss Attack Meeting is concluded, the Nine Dragons say thank you to their companions. The players who hear it laugh as they say, "You're the reason we're here, too." "If we don't say this kind of dialogue after we win, it's a death flag."

(9) When Ryu smiled in the light of such companions, he also expressed his thanks to the players who would be meeting for the first time.

"And thank you to the players who have courageously made up their minds to fight with us. I promise I will do my best not to waste that courage. Get out of this world with everyone's hands!"

(9) To Ryu's words, the players in the conference room shouted up their arms.

That's how the players leave the conference room with a zorro to prepare for the offense. Nine dragons saw Akatsuki's face in it and broke his face.

He seemed pretty shocked to lose a girl who was adorable like his sister. (9) Dragon was glad he was back on track because he knew a player who had been drawn to the shock of losing his people or killed himself.

But the cause is probably 'that'.

He hasn't recovered from her death yet.

If that precarious hope is shattered.

Perhaps he will never be able to stand up again.

Only for a few moments did I see Akatsuki, and soon his figure was drunk by other players and disappeared.

―――――――――――――――

Mr. Ra had finished preparing for the boss attack and was walking around inside the Dragon Emperor's Palace. She's walking seemingly purposeless, but she was actually looking for a certain young man.

Because my people told me about Akatsuki's return to the front.

When he pulled me off, I tried my best to encourage him. As Akatsuki did to me when the sword dog died.

But in the end, I couldn't get him back on his feet.

I was reminded that even if "it" was Akatsuki for me, "it" wasn't me for Akatsuki.

Remembering that and feeling her chest ache, Ra finds the back of the young man she was looking for in the crowd, rushes over and pounds his shoulder.

"Hey! Akatsuki-kun."

"... oh. Ra."

"Oh, yeah. Long time no see...... but I guess not...... haha (laughs)"

Looking back at Akatsuki's face, Ra's smile distorted.

Because Akatsuki's eyes were drooling and cloudy, and then glowing brilliantly, as if he had mixed joy and sorrow.

Ra-san recreates the form of a grin as she lets words bore her unusual expression.

"No, it's a boss meeting from now on, okay? Aren't you sleepless or something? (Worried)"

"... Oh, I'm a little sleepy, but when I go to bed, Lynn comes out, because I can't sleep. I'll be fine."

"Ha ha (boobs)"

Running to the bottom story with a slight grin.

"Ha, that's funny," Akatsuki said, leaving a dark grin, "Well, then," he turned his back and left.

So La was still convinced that Akatsuki had not recovered.

Akatsuki said he was just reaching for hope from the bottom of despair.

"... good luck"

Ra's whining didn't reach Akatsuki.

―――――――――――――――

The Pirate King was preparing for the coming battle.

His cry, which he could always say, was also very exciting to everyone in this situation.

"Oh?"

The Pirate King turned his gaze to the young man he knew as he passed in front of him.

Sure, he lost someone he cared about or something, wasn't he off the front?

Being outside now would mean joining the boss offense.

He wanted to call me something, but in the end he didn't call me anything.

It was just a small "show it to me," he muttered profoundly.

His encouragement never reached Akatsuki, but Tense by being able to say a bit of a good dialogue, The Pirate King raised his voice even more.

"Come on, it's your last fight."

Don!!

I don't forget to say for myself the sound effects that

―――――――――――――――

Members of Advantage, the players in the offensive group they fought with, and the pair calling Ebe, will speak up to Akatsuki.

Watching from behind, he felt proud that his brother was admired by a variety of people. At the same time, it hurts my chest to Akatsuki, who returns such a slight dark grin to them.

"Brother."

"... oh, wow"

"We're about to fight, but, uh, are you feeling okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine. It's a batch. No problem."

"... Really?"

"What do you think? Are you okay with that gear?"

"... Yes, I'm fine. No problem."

A slight grin and a higher tension than usual.

It's like one day you're yourself.

"It's about time."

Everyone moves out to the Dragon Emperor's Palace gradually to see if they are ready. Watching it, Akatsuki puts his hand on his head.

"Let's do our best."

"... Yes"

"End it, a world like this"

"... brother"

"Hmm?"

"I love it"

"... oh, I love you too"

In his words, Akatsuki laughed nicely

―――――――――――――――

A disastrous darkness fills the room, like embodying the concept of 'death'. In the heart of drool and sticky darkness is Hades, a reaper who weaves black robes and has a sickle in his hand.

Appearing in Greek mythology, God of the Underworld. It is said to rule all souls in the underworld.

This neighborhood, named Dead End, deserves it.

The players, who should have known what the material looked like, rattle their teeth against 'death' right in front of them. Even the players in the battle's offensive group are fascinated by the way they look for a moment.

"Everybody, move as planned! Let the battle begin!"

However, the stiff players return to me by the screams of the Nine Dragons and begin to act as planned.

Each player is divided into several squads, each performing a given role.

Your role in attracting the boss, taking attacks from the boss, attacking frightened places, and supporting them when in danger.

Basically, it's just like the usual boss fights. The difference is that there are quite a few of them.

There was a fear that the players in the offensive group alone could not be defeated. So the average player was invited to join the fight as well.

Even if you say you're new to boss offense on the front line, even general players can fight bosses. Even with some confusion, gradually everyone gets back to their normal condition.

Tank defended the boss's sickle attack.

At that moment when Hades stopped moving, the waiting attack squad moves out.

Among them were the appearance of acorns and scabs.

I give you a beastly roar, and everyone goes in.

"I will, with this hand."

Akatsuki shrugged softly as he swung his machete.

―――――――――――――――

Then three hours later.

The players entered the thirtieth area.

Most importantly, the road that leads to the last area was twisted.

Although it was less than half the original number.
