"Whoa, whoa!!
"Here...... come this far and die -!!
Leaving the city of Granferia, we headed to a dungeon with a return gate, marked at the end of the destination… "Diary of M.C."
Off the streets, through the woods, how much we would have walked through the meadow area...... when the sun only rose and we were noticed that it was the wilderness we were walking in.
Yes, the wilderness. The same wilderness that was spreading before our eyes when we dived into "Another World Online", the day that changed our destiny dramatically.
No, you're not. This is not a virtual reality. It's one real world. I knew that. I knew it... when the reddish earth lit up in the morning sun, just like the wilderness that day... we couldn't stop the beating of expectations or the sooner our feet.
And before I went ahead and kicked the monsters that spread into the wilderness... it was there.
Stone stairs hidden in the shadows of wilderness rocks. Waiting ahead, a large metal door tied up in chains and locks. Same thing. The dungeon that dropped us into this world was there.
Same passage, same emergent monster, same crate position, same set trap.
There was a dungeon as if it had been cut off that day!
"I can go home," "to those days, to the original world, I can go home". Every one of us stopped questioning our return to the existence of a small dungeon that exists in the wilderness. Yusuke's face, which was gradually stained with anxiety every time he stepped on the red soil, also regained his smile as he tried to advance through the dungeon.
That's why we moved on to the struggling dungeons at the Kanst level with the momentum of the bamboo. When we were sure we could go home, we couldn't stop any monsters or traps.
But there was also alarm. "Because it's a dungeon I'm attacking once," I think I could relax or afford.
It took a brilliant form there... we were now in danger of total annihilation.
"Ha, ha, ha...!
"Look, it's Elixir... I don't have a hand anymore"
"Thanks...... Ho Ho"
We arrived between the deepest BOSS of the dungeon without difficulty, to an orb resting in the back of the room… I tried to converge the power of the orb we had gathered and open the door to the other world to the core orb that was written in the "Diary of M.C."
But he showed up. There was a horrible BOSS monster who wasn't in this room in the original world......
"World Gate Guardian".
About three metres long, metal golem. That guy attacked us trying to get close to the core orb completely out of his mind.
Breaking through the floor and showing up... I just thought there were no more monsters out there and we were late for our first start and got a decent fist for the Guardian to wiggle around. At that point, he was dead when he did poorly. Yusuke, the magician, was blown up to the entrance to the room, so much so that his remaining strength was cut to one-tenth. If it had hit the steeple, there would have been no life.
We were scattered with broken arms and broken legs, but still alive. So much so that I burned my fighting spirit when I crushed an impeccable golem that would stand in the way of my return.
But also such a flaming and burning heart... was beginning to turn into despair after less than an hour.
The "World Gate Guardian" who protects the Core Orb couldn't defeat it. While the level was 250, the offense, defense-specific BOSS monsters at the expense of mobility… In particular, the defense had something worthy of naming the guardian, which could hardly give him a decisive hit, either physically or magically.
While deceiving, the enemy regains health with [Auto Heel]. This or this attack, which I kept letting go, will cause a positive or negative zero while this SP (Skill Points) runs out and evacuates.
Now for the last time, I used both rare healing and buffing pills... but in the end, I could only scrape up to half my opponent's health.
And again, a little pause to evacuate the BOSS room... the three of us, none of us are missing yet. They are all alive... but their faces were stained with anxiety and impatience.
"He... can't be defeated"
Gate to the original world...... in front of it, inhibited by the "World Gate Guardian" and unable to return. In the midst of such a dilemma, I think Yusuke used to be able to draw that conclusion.
Like Ren, Yusuke strongly hoped to return. Yusuke said many times that he couldn't leave his beloved behind in the original world. I can't believe he said he couldn't return...
But I can't take you down...... I hate to admit it, but that's true. On the contrary, even as I kept trying, I threatened to become jilli poor and fall all of them. If we don't, Yusuke will show us who we are and give us the hard facts to swallow as a leader.
"... right. I can't defeat you... right?"
Ren, who had drawn that will, also smiled with her eyebrows lowered. I hate to admit it, but those eyes said that if we can't make it through with all our might, that's impossible.
As it were, two people who could nod without even speaking...... a little bit and would say "let's go home... to Granferia" when they were able to sort out their feelings, I could easily imagine.
It was sad.
I was upset.
While we were going through this dungeon, I was like, "What shall we do when we get home?," "Everyone would be surprised," he said happily, "I couldn't forgive the World Gate Guardian for the presence that stumbled down to the bottom.
... No, you're not. Here, "That's not true! I felt sorry for myself that I didn't have the strength to cheer them up or back them up.
I always get help. You can pull me off whenever you want. If they're depressed, I have to do something about it this time. I thought so, too.
So,
"Hey."
So I...
"I have a plan."
To two depressing people, I said:
"Come on! Over here! Aim at me!
Me stirring up "World Gate Guardian" sitting in front of Core Orb. It's not just words. It also activates the top Taunt Skills [Forgiveness Taunts] and has all abilities to distract the target.
"Goga......"
That worked, the metallic golem stares at me with bright red stained eyes. And he was moving away from the orb's pedestal, twitching and approaching this way. He swung his hands and threw the building materials on the floor and he caught me and tried to smash me to death.
Yes, that's fine... keep it up, keep it up...
"Goaaaaaaa!!
Sometimes within his reach, he tries to dodge it repeatedly. My job, for a little while, can do that.
What would happen if I did everything I could to attract the World Gate Guardian... naturally, the distance between him and the pedestal would go away.
... enough for someone to run over and afford to touch the core orb.
"Guido! We did it!!
The operation seems to have worked. While the single-cell guardian was nailing me, Yusuke and Ren were able to get to the core orb. Then either they reacted to the orb they had, or the core orb glowed.
Along with that, Yusuke and the others begin to shed light. I'm sure when that light envelops the two of us, the otherworldly transition will be complete. Portal gates in dungeons and stuff have similar effects. So don't take a little longer to complete the metastasis...
"What are you doing!? Come on, you too!
Len, with her hands on the core orb, calls me desperately. Yeah, just like I thought. During the metastasis, I can't move about what it means. Yusuke was making an argument about how "fixing the coordinate axis" would be... I don't care about that now.
The only thing that matters is that you won't be able to move during the metastasis. Now, whether those guys cry or call, they'll be safe back to their original world. I can't believe you stopped moving to help me anymore. That's it.
"Skills!? You learned a new skill!?
Yusuke's voice also sounds kind of sumptuous. The metastasis will be soon. Great... Now the operation is a success. Already, just stare firmly at the "World Gate Guardian" and repeat the evasion in the shade by opening [Forgiveness Taunts] in full.
"Baka, there's no way there's such a convenience."
I don't say anything to anybody, I say things like whisper. And in my heart I apologized to Yusuke and Ren. That I fooled you... that I might never see you again. "I'm sorry," he muttered, small and small, in the depths of his heart.
"" Guitar OOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Eventually, the light that wraps them up increases their radiance… the transition to the other world was complete, as it fades away so much with the light.
"See ya...... Grr!? Ahhhhh!!
So the thread I was straining broke...... I ate the blow of the "World Gate Guardian" that kept dodging me until then. I was blown out to the outside between BOSS like a bullet, crashing into the wall of a rampage, falling and lying down spitting blood.
(But he's not dead... then this is it, this is it...)
Yeah, that's it. My purpose is not "the return of the three of us". "The Return of Yusuke and Ren". I'm a mess, but the operation was a success.
At that time, I said, "There's a way out," and I said to both of us:
"It's a skill I just learned, and it's a counter skill that can only be activated when it's time to, but if you succeed, you can stop the Guardian from moving for a long time"
Oh, man.
Why were we trying to take down the "World Gate Guardian" in a leap? That's because "movement stops during metastasis". The presence that can kill us is coming at us that can't move while we're on the move... then we can't even resist anymore.
Although cross-world metastases are not necessarily the same as portal gate metastases, they are not something I could very well try just in case. As a result, we were doing everything we could to eliminate the World Gate Guardian.
Nothing, you don't have to take him down. During the metastasis, all you have to do is stop moving. But the opponent is a high level BOSS monster. [Bind] Something. Then it won't even hold you back.
But what if I had the skills to stop the BOSS monster from moving for a minute...?
Just as there are "untouched districts" in this world that were not in "Another World Online", there are skills, items, and monsters that were not in the game. The three of us had plenty of chances to meet something like that.
One such skill is [Counter Stop]. A skill I remember but never had a chance to use. This has the effect that if you let a BOSS monster eat you at the counter, you can stop the movement for a minute, unless it irritates you.
I can go home with this...... but the timing is difficult and it would be a bet of one or eight. So let's take a double measure. You guys touch the core orb first. Just in case. I can handle my skills alone. Don't worry, I'm good at counters... you know that.
... That said, I cheated on both of you. I tricked him into persuading him to go home one foot ahead. And that worked.
Really, [counter stop] what a shameful skill. It's a big lie to be able to stop BOSS from moving. Skills that will ring a fanfare when a number that sets a cap (e.g. savings) reaches the limit... that's such a crap skill.
But this is the only skill of the three of us that I know works. It's a skill that a bad knight who's gotten along sneaked up on me alone. So I could fool you. So those guys trusted me to touch the core orb.
"That's a huge success... ha"
The healing skills have also caused me pain. It will be time to get up. When I get up...... Well, I wonder what's going on. For now, let's get out of here. Get out of the dungeon and get all ready to go around. Get ready to shatter that nasty World Gate Guardian.
The world is wide. Skills and items I don't know are like mountains. That was understandable enough to go too far for just going around all over the place for the past two years. Maybe there's a powerful skill or item in it.
No, there must be something to break down that Guardian iron wall. You might want to get your people together and work out until you're as strong as I am.
There is still hope.
I didn't give up going back to that world where I spent so much time with my friends.
... but he did.
"World Gate Guardian" broke the hope.
In front of me...... as if to show it off!
"Oh, hey... what the hell..."
Fluffy stood up in my sight during the pounding BOSS. And it's a core orb sitting behind it. There is a shadow that approaches it. The World Gate Guardian. That's not a strange thing in itself. He's the guardian of that orb.
But why are you waving up your arms?
Why are you holding your fist?
Leaving my doubts behind, Golem caged his strength in a giant arm... and waved his hard, heavy fist down into the orb that was supposed to be the guardian.
"Stop...... stop whoa whoa!!!
From a remote place, it sounded like a "scratch" and a round of paper. Yes, there's no hesitation in rounding up used Chilean paper and throwing it away... the golem smashed the core orb.
"Uhhhhhhhhh!!!?!?"
I don't really remember anything from it.
Swallow by the light overflowing from the crushed core orb, I stood alone in the wilderness when I realized it.
"Ah...... ah?
There are no injuries anywhere. The damage inflicted on the golem is also fast. Even torn clothes are undone. It's as if he was rewound to the state he was in before he entered the dungeon.
But the difference did exist... in a visible way.
"No... no...!?
Where the dungeon was...... there was a big hole there, like a crater or something. For sure, it's as if it's been decided between the lowest layers of BOSS... such a deep big hole.
What does that mean...... yes, the loss of the means to return to the original world. With a confused head, I finally thought about it, and I stuck my butt in unexpectedly.
"Rae, Ren... Yusuke...!
The sun was still high but I felt the cold and opened my friends list as I wandered around. I left... yes, the two of them left. That's what I saw in front of you. But this world is one in which the system of Another World Online can be used as it is.
Maybe... maybe we can get in touch. That's what I thought, and I opened a list of friends that I could [call] with. I just wanted to hear two voices, sexually, back then.
But...
"Ha ha..."
What the friends list showed was that
"Ha, ha..."
It was just the fact that I was the only one logged in.
"Ohhhhhhhhh!!!"
All players except me are logged out. The names on my friends list, they're all, all gray. Until yesterday, Ren and Yusuke's names should have been green indicating their login status.
Now, I can't get in touch. That's not all. I can't even see you anymore. In the wider world, I'm the only one who knows who I really am.
That's how I understood it, I was attacked by a feeling of loneliness that was about to crush me… I kept screaming until my voice withered at the edge of the big hole where there was supposed to have been a dungeon for a different world transfer.
