Golden Experience

The settlement that Amatein showed me was a small village.

Naturally, there are no homes where everyone can stay, but you can't sleep if you set up a tent around the village or in a square.

Although there are concerns about safety, there is no problem as long as we simply overwrite the point of respawn.

With these preparations in place, the party set out for the volcano.

I'm going to say goodbye to Nekrasov. It seems that he has something to say about the future with the head of this village.

The fishing village, which was the gateway to the island, must have been destroyed. If we continue to trade between continents in the future, cooperation on this island is essential, and perhaps we can negotiate some rewards for the villagers to redevelop the docks.

"─ ─ What kind of guy is that? Strategies or something?

"Oh, it's a giant monster. I know it's big, but I think it's probably a monster close to fish. I don't know anything about the strategy, but at least it's bad enough that Magnum's associates are going to tail him and run away."

"Ah... Speaking of which, you said that.

I don't know if I can win with this number... "

I felt like there were no enemies that could not be defeated without all these members, but it was Joe's fault.

"If we don't win now, we'll never win in the current player. I'll have to give up now.

Besides, the Magnum who escaped was an old gentleman in Brown's Inverness coat, right?

If he was the same person we knew, he said he wasn't very good at fighting. It's self-proclaimed. That way, I can't tell you there's no chance of winning. "

It was this yoichi who told Joe about the old gentleman. They are traveling on horses by themselves. Looks like he took the trouble to get it aboard.

According to Amatein, the old gentleman didn't admit to being Magnum, but he didn't explicitly deny it.

After a short walk, the ambient temperature gradually rose.

At first, I thought it was because of my mind, but not because of my mind.

Everyone is sweating, and some people are taking off some equipment and taking measures against the heat.

The yogi also took off their robes and exposed their legs.

"─ ─ It's close. It's about time."

"Oh, no, you said fish. I think I've seen fish monsters in volcanoes in games a long time ago, but they're out there. Didn't you dive in a magma or something?

"It's okay. There's no earthquake here. If we dive in the basement, there 'll be an earthquake, and we'll probably stay out. Last time we ran away, it looked like we were looking for something...

─ ─ I see it, that's it!

Amatein pointed forward.

There was something golden and certainly similar to a fish lying there.

But more dazzling than the golden light is the LP that can be seen in the "True Eye".

"... no, what is that LP? Are you sure you can win..."

"So I told you. He's a bad guy."

No, it's not, but at least it's comparable.

"In LP alone, it is as much as Septum, who transformed King Pairé's capital into another land. No. More than that? To be honest, there are too many LPs in both. I don't know."

I don't think you wanted me to say it earlier, but even if you heard it, it doesn't change what Joes have to do.

Someday we'll have to fight the evil Raid Boss.

It's just a story that happens to be now.

If you are afraid of this and run away, it will be another dream, such as fighting Septum.

Although Joe and the others are not going to be hostile to Septum.

"... that gold... and that old Brown gentleman who ran away... that's not true."

Yoichi is saying something.

But I can't hear you well because the horse's height is too far away. Why did these two bring horses? If this were the case, you should have taken Joe with you. Joe's boat was overcrowded, so there was no room for horses.

As I got closer, the gold moved out.

They seem to have noticed Joe and the others.

"... have you noticed? You can't ambush me.

─ ─ I don't know what kind of attack the enemy is going to make! Everybody fight carefully! Deal with them at a distance first, and those with Healing Skills will be on the lookout for their allies' Healing Priority!

It was the Yoichi's arrow that cut off the battle.

I always feel like the battle started with this arrow.

Yoichi ran with a horse and shot an arrow at his companions to keep the hate from turning towards them.

Some kind of skill is also active.

There are multiple arrows on the way, or flying at an impossible speed.

I don't feel like I'm being played. Though insignificant in its entirety, it appears to contain the damage itself.

"... that's a normal arrow. Surprisingly no defense...?

"It's dangerous to judge by that."

"Physics is fine, but magic is not. If magic doesn't work, more than half of our DPS will be useless.

In the meantime, we'll see how it goes. Frost Needle!

An unnamed elf casts a single magic shot.

Like an arrow, it pierces the golden skin.

There are too many LPs and it doesn't seem to be decreasing at all, but it doesn't feel like it's still not working.

"... doesn't that sound pointless? There's something that feels handy, but it feels like water on a burnt stone."

"But if it's working, it's better than not.

If you can shoot magic, use magic! Anyone who can't shoot can attack with an arrow or a throw! Everyone else get close!

In response to Amatein's command, countless magic flew into golden fish from members of the Wind Forest Volcano Thunderbolt.

I don't know what you're shooting at. I'm just screaming the D and 2 symbols with my mouth shut. It seems like Somenny is deciding what to shout for, but that makes it difficult to collaborate with other parties.

Although it will be a large-scale raid battle, we will have to earn damage to the tunnels in the end.

So far, there's no sign of a counterattack.

This will be a monotonous battle for just hitting resources. Do not even consider teamwork.

Well, let's get closer then.

I see. I'm not particularly responsive, and maybe this kind of attack won't give me any pain.... "

I'm sure you're aware of this, but they may not think it's a threat.

That's a trick, but it's convenient in a sense if you're not alert.

The proximity group also decided to fill the distance in this gap.

Gil and Amatein approached carefully. I wasn't aware at all, but when I looked closely, Saskatchewan was walking around afterwards. Too little presence.

After that, the avant-garde of the Windforest Volcano Yin Thunder continued, and Joe imitated it.

Some of the avant-garde are holding shields and taking out large swords.

It's true that monsters of this size are known to defend their allies, and if they don't fight back at the moment, it's better to shake them all.

"... okay, let's go." Discard "," Lance Charge "!

"'Discard', 'Big Cut'!

"'Stub'!

"'Slash'!

Each activates a skill with a weapon. Various blades cut the golden skin.

However, I am certain that I cut my skin, but I only injured one skin on the surface and it has not even reached the layer of fat rather than the inner muscle.

We'll see if we can get close to it, but this is rather hopeless.

Big is just terrifying.

It certainly doesn't work.

From the feeling of slashing, it's not as defensive.

However, it doesn't make sense just to say it's working.

In fact, these monsters don't even recognize Joe and his players as objects to watch out for.

"Damn it, why don't you just step back and rely on the magic range?

"That's all I have... I'm not talking about Nacchan, but if proximity doesn't help, my damage sources will be quite limited."

"─ ─ Nacchan, don't say that!

He heard you.

I can hear an unnamed elf screaming from afar. Elves are hell-eared.

"Anyway, we need to take a distance and figure out how to do some damage ─ ─"

It was then.

The golden wall in front of me suddenly fell down.

"Wow! Abubu!"

"It's moving! Back up, back up!"

"What!? Why suddenly!"

The golden fish suddenly brought the sickle to its head, just by the time it was in motion, and it didn't try to act at all.

Yes, Kamaha.

After starting to move clearly, I finally realized that it looked more like a snake than a fish. No, it's a fish-like silhouette, so I wonder if it's a pig. Anyway, that's what it looks like.

It seemed to have been seen from afar by the wizards, and an unknown elf raised his voice.

"─ ─ I reacted to something! But it wasn't our attack! Looking at the sky...?

"That's...!

Wayne screamed after Utsubo's gaze.

No way!

Amatein, too.

"There you are again!

Even Yoichi has stopped attacking.

That should be the case.

Some of the members here will never forget who they are.

"Master Septum!

The sky ahead of Utsubo's gaze, one point of its sky, was distorted and Magnum Septum appeared.

Immediately thereafter, the light of the sparkling LP filled the septum. There are four more LP lights floating around to protect her. That said, there is nothing there. It's just light.

"─ ─ I thought I'd finish it off... A lot of strangers are gathering again.

I've seen some of you in your matching armor somewhere. Was it the meadow on the edge of the Hills?

The members of the vigilant Windforest Volcano Thunderbolt stand up.

He seems to know each other.

Even if it is not a personal unit, it is very much remembered by Septum.

I'm glad we're partnering.

"What is Magnum doing here? This golden monster is still your fault!

Amatein screams.

As usual, it's Wayne's job, but this time the protagonist looks like him.

I feel like I want to try Joe and the protagonist just once, but I want to avoid buying Septum's discomfort. After all, each person has a role to play.

"You... I don't even remember his name, but he's one of the Gentiles who dusted me in the King's City of Hills. I wonder if you've seen it in the King's City of Pares. I'm glad you're doing well.

Besides, didn't you hear me talking to myself now? I came all the way here to get rid of this rat. I got a report of a discovery from one of my friends. "

I can't possibly not hear you.

Because I only heard the voice of Septum.

Even though I don't remember a bit of frustration with Amatein, who is saying something very rare, I can say that it is thanks to this that I was able to draw out the long dialogue now. It is an amateur job.

"Companions!? After all, that man was yours the other day!

"... oh, I wonder if that's what he said. Shit, forget about that."

Natural bokeh. Isn't she cute?

"Damn it, I'm kidding...!

"─ ─ What do you mean, you tried to get rid of it?! This Utsubo and Magnum are in a hostile relationship!

Now the hands are warm.

But what I'm saying is, if there's ever been such a difference in heroin power, it won't be a match.

"That's what I'm saying. Whoa ─ ─"

Suddenly a blinking light filled the area.

Seeing Septum laughing at the players in the air, Utsubo, who had done nothing before, opened his mouth wide and released his bracelet.

And the golden glow swallowed up the septum in one light.

It only appears to be a laser beam, but it is also too large for a typical laser.

Optical weapons, such as lasers, are usually more powerful if they have the same output and smaller calibers. However, this bracelet had a large caliber but a terrifying presence scattered around it.

It might have been a very inevitable range and velocity, but it didn't work for Septum.

After the light had vanished, Septum was floating there as if nothing had happened.

It's an attitude that can't be avoided.

It seems that the light from the LP floating around is a little weak, but maybe Joe's eyes are dazzled because the light from the brace is too strong.

"... I see. Even though it's a hybrid fish, it has an attack power you can't fool around with."

What does it mean to say "junk fish"? Who says such a thing?

This pigeon is by no means a fish. This is a catastrophe that will destroy our country if we fail.

"But I don't think I can defeat this kind of opponent. We need you to work harder."

"What!? What do you mean ─ ─"

"As I have said before, I have my purpose, and I am acting. Just like you.

Of that purpose, that's right. Dealing with the [Golden Dragon Terminal] there is a relatively high priority.

You have the same purpose this time, and I'll help you take it down with your hands. "

"You think I can help!? I told him to take it down ─ ─"

"Wait! What did you just say about the Golden Dragon? You mean the terminal? Golden Dragon? That's ─ ─"

The Spicy Pollack Roe list suddenly caught on.

"No, no, I don't care! Rather, wait, what's it like to help!?

Arafuki is excited.

But Joe felt the same way.

No, the heroes of Hagarenixen who are here now have one heart.

In other words, this is the first time we've worked together.

"Calm down. Noisy. Don't worry about the Golden Dragon terminal more than about me. Here we go again ─ ─"

Utsubo ─ ─ The Golden Dragon terminal once again scattered light and hid Septum.

─ ─ Me again. After all, the Gentiles below are not even seen as enemies in their current state. I can't help it. "

Septum takes off the robe.

The thrown robe flew away in the wind.

Some members of Hagarenixen were shy. You want to go pick it up. So did Joe.

"Wow!

However, it was not the case that Loeb was confused.

What matters is not clothes. It's inside.

While the wind-dwelling robe caught his eye, Septum spread out six wings from his waist, and had horns on his head.

I missed the moment of transformation. It's a mistake of resentment.

Everyone around me is biting their lips with regret.

And Septum opened his eyes.

"I'm going to strengthen you a little bit, so do something about it.

... "Strength (STR reinforcement)", "Devil (INT reinforcement)", "Disturbance (AGI reinforcement)", "Fear (MND reinforcement)", this is my "flesh (VIT reinforcement)", "Business (DEX reinforcement)"... "

Septum murmured something.

That's why Joe was staring at me. That's why I noticed it by reading his lips. It was more like confirming something than telling me.

As soon as the murmur ended, the six wings of Septum began to emit light in turn.

Red, blue, green, white, purple, black.

None of them have the same color.

"─ ─ Fufu, fuhaha, ahahahaha! Be intoxicated by this overwhelming stream of power that I bring! God's breath (Luaha) !"

And when all the wings were lit up, Septum laughed and turned his hands towards the players.

Six wings to follow.

The light stored in the wings became one in front of the septum, and a dazzling light of polar color fell down on the area.

The light went inside Joe ─ ─

"─ ─ Ahhh! Oh, my God! Power! Wow! Uh-oh!

"Ahahahaha! Ahhhhhhhh!

"Hey, this is it! Are you okay? Hey! I feel so good!

I couldn't help but cry out at the overflowing sense of exhilaration.

It was a symptom common to all players around.

Could it be a psychological attack?

No, it's not. It's a blessing.

Septum is the mercy of God of Disasters for a foolish people.

"... I wonder why it calms me down when I see a maniac.

Come on, guys! Use that power to fight the Golden Dragon terminal! The enemy won't wait!

If Septum wants to fight, fight.

Indeed, as she said, Utsubo came here to finally recognize the players and is now looking at us, not at Septum.

But don't be afraid.

The Gods of Disaster are watching over Joe and the others.
