Just because the adventurers of this world have chosen an inefficient way of fighting that is incomparable to BBO, there may be a reason why so many dead.

Don't be afraid to keep an eye on your surroundings.

With that in mind, I was about to leave the guild, and I heard adventurers in the guild rumors.

"Two people go to the forest of death, who is his friend?"

"It's a face I've never seen .... I have two people named Eldo, I don't know."

"If two new guys show up, it's going to be news in the guild. Without it, Eld wouldn't be two guys."

"These guys and we go to the forest of death ... ?? I don't know what happened, but is this the end of" Flame Spear "..."

Seems terrible.

What will the adventurers do if I hear that I'm E-ranked?

Well, there's no reason to tell your rank.

"I don't mind. If I bring back the materials of the Forest of Death, I'll be able to settle it."

"Oh ..... if it's so bad, I'll withdraw immediately."

"If you die, you have no children, and that would be better."

We are approaching the forest of death while talking about such a thing.

… As the forest of death approaches, the surrounding air gradually changes.

It's the air of a high level map that contains a lot of magic.

I felt this kind of air in BBO, but the density of the air is completely different in the present world.

I know that if Melia can fight properly, such as the B-ranking monsters, I know she won't be an opponent, but she still feels nervous.

"Magic Search"

Every time I walk about 50 meters, I use Magic Search to keep track of my surroundings.

This is the best way to avoid danger.

Even if there are some fast-moving monsters, you can't easily catch up if you look away from the results of Magic Search.

It's a safe way to do it because you're a sage with a wide search range.

"One kilometer to the forest of death"

"One kilometer ... wait a minute. Are you going on this path?"

I asked Milia.

The way we walk towards the forest of death seems to continue into the forest of death.

I don't know how to set the road in such a dangerous place ... but the problem is how to set it up.

It is a route that cuts straight through the middle of the forest, and is straight.

If you go through such a place, you will be easily pinched and shot.

Considering the location of the monsters, a safer route can be created ... or rather, the road is almost the worst.

"I'm going to keep going ... but it's better not to go too far. If you go too far, the mortality rate jumps."

"... 1300 meters from the entrance to the forest. It's going to be dangerous at a stretch if you go around that much."

Upon hearing that, Milia became a stunned face.

"Why do you know ...? 1300 is a specific number, but it should have been known only to some of the two names ..."

"No matter what you know, the 1300 meter point is overtly dangerous. There are many places where there are many monsters nearby, and there is good visibility. Passing through such a place is like assaulting Yes! "

"Is that something you can see?"

"There's a magic search magic called 'Magic Search', so I'm using it to find out ... I just need experience to judge where it's dangerous from the results I see."

For now, this explains why death forests have a high mortality rate.

The road that is laid for transportation is the very road that leads to death.

If you use this route, you can be convinced that the mortality rate is high.

And even more so, as the rumors of danger spread, adventurers try to fight close to the road to fight safely.

The real danger is near that road.

…… The result is a 90% mortality rate.

Before entering the forest, it was good to understand the danger.

I can't be careless, but I can fight with confidence.

"What do you do? We also fight at the entrance of the road?"

"Even the entrance isn't safe anymore. There's a risk of pinching and shooting ... Isn't that even the entrance to the forest a high survival rate?"

"Most of the adventurers who came alive from the forest of death are only adventurers who turned back less than 1300 meters ... but still they say their survival rate is 30%."

Well, I guess.

There is a danger of pinching even near the entrance to the forest, and the probability of not being pinched and shooting for several hours is about 30%.

Mostly, they went to a party that could withstand a frontal battle, and were attacked from behind while they were fighting and were wiped out.

It's a pattern that's common in parties without the ability to search.

"What is the survival rate of adventurers who normally plunge into the forest without using the road?"

"Um ... there's almost no destiny to get off the road in the forest of death. There should have been five people ... four must have been alive. I'm lucky without death."

"No, no luck. In this forest, the route through the road is the most dangerous. On the contrary, the safe route is" Magic Search "

With that said, I explored the surrounding situation again ... and then said.

"A route that deviates greatly to the left from this route and passes right beside the cliff."

"Beside the cliff ... if you go through such a place, there's no escape!"

"When you flee, you just have to retreat straight. You're scarier than the forest behind you. No enemies come out of the cliff, but monsters come out of the forest. For example, you can fight without attack from behind. If you want to be alert to attacks in front and behind, you need twice as many parties. "

"... I've never heard of fighting beside a cliff for the first time ..."

Such an operation is probably difficult to make in this world, where once dead, it ends.

No matter how much you die in the BBO, strategies that seem reckless have been devised one after another, and they have gone away.

Countless tactics have been devised and tested, and only those that have been determined to be particularly good have survived as tactics within the BBO.

Even after 100 years in this world, it would not be possible to try so many tactics.

But ... can't you just let the party members take part in dangerous battles without consent?

Even though there are sophisticated tactics in the history of BBO, combat is always dangerous.

"Don't you? Stop near the entrance to the forest to kill the monsters that have been lost.

"... I just want to say that ... but I've learned enough about Eld's tactics in the fight against Raging Ape, which I think is 100 years ahead of the world today .... ... I believe in Eld's tactics more than my own feelings. "

...... Did you understand so much in that battle alone?

Just being treated as one of the best adventurers in the world, there's an eye to seeing the tactics right.

Milia can be a tremendous force if she teaches her a proper skill structure and how to fight.

Anyway, the reasonably high level and the lack of any advanced skills means that you can build as many skill structures as you want.
