Golden Experience

The finals were the afternoon of the semi-finals.

All consumed items such as LPs, MPs, and items will be restored, so there is no problem, but unlike the qualifiers, I fought the semi-finals with all my energy, so I was mentally tired.

I don't know if Lila or Bamboo is going to be a tough opponent, but mentally, I'm sure Lila is going to be more tired.

Rare thought this might be a tough fight.

Nevertheless, I don't think I'll ever lose.

"Shit, I'm pretty tired because of Ralva. Was it too much?"

"... me, too. There's a lot going on...I mean, what did Norwegian look like earlier?Is that Transformation?Where are you? "

"You think I'll teach you that after what I just saw?Octo deserves to be tired.Simply disgusting. "

Well then, let's do this. If I win, I'll let the girl see me. "

"Ignore it, though.

Then what will Octo do if I win? "

"Maybe I'll win, so I don't have to worry about that, but...I'll listen to you for one thing. "

"Doesn't that benefit me?"

"It's amazing! Well, think about it.I'm sure it'll be in vain. "

I mean, where does that confidence come from?

Septum, it's you.

Lyla laughs invincibly.

"By the way, you didn't have to bring Behemoth?"

"When you get on something like that, you'll be alert and disappear from the opening."

Maybe so. No, I'm in the way, and I'm sure I will.

"So, what is this strange round object?So you're not going to be alert? "

Behind Lyla were two large round objects.

The "evil hands" are carefully covered with no gaps, and I don't know what the contents are.

I would like to say that it is wrapped in kelp, but from the shape and color, it does not look like the legendary 1000-yen gacha that existed in ancient times.

"I'll be vigilant, though.You don't think you're suddenly going to do something about it if you don't know who you are.For example, this could be the bomb I secretly developed.Depending on your strength, you can take it to the draw. "

I don't think Lyla would do such a dangerous thing by bringing such a dangerous thing close to herself.

But it's impossible to aim for a suicide bomber.

In that case, it would certainly be a bypassing attack, rather than knowing what is set to trigger the detonation.

Somehow the conversation broke down.

The usual long premise echoes the battlefield in vain.

The content of Lyla's introduction is too harsh, so somehow it sounds like a relatively rare stock is rising and makes me laugh a little bit.

Looking at the area in my hand, it seemed like I had seen it somewhere on the battlefield, but it was the first time I had seen it.

No, it is wrong to describe this sight as a battlefield. Or it's too early.

The battlefield was by all accounts a city.

You can see things like castles in the distance.It doesn't feel like it's just a background, but does it make any sense?

"─ ─ This is the field Octo applied for?A city. Why? "

"... Septum, come on. You've never applied for terrain before, have you?So you don't even know what terrain you can apply for in the first place.That's why I can say that. "

Well, it's the same everywhere.

"That's the way it is. Even today, Ralva has done a good job.

─ ─ That's why I'll let oneechan know before things get any more stylish. "

─ ─ Now, the tournament finals![Magnum Melm Septum] VS [Magnum Melm Octo]! Game started!]



Well ─ ─ Whoa!

Lyla broke in at the start of the match.

Dextrously stretched out the "evil hand" and left the mysterious round object in its original position with a grip.

If that's really a bomb, as Lyla says, and you're ready to fight, you should stay close to Lyla.

It may not be a bomb or something.

"Isn't that unusual? I can't believe you're aggressively attacking me."

Well, sometimes it's fine.

The ancient martial arts cultivated by Rare and Lyla are a genre whose goal is to attack one kill after another, as they say in card games.

Therefore, it is preferable to give the first hand to the opponent and deal with it accurately.

Nevertheless, Lyla was the first to attack.

There's definitely something.

But I couldn't think about something calmly.

It was Lyla's brutal attack.

Rare can see Lyla's movements because of the difference in Talent. I can deal with it.

However, when asked whether it was easy, it was not.

Unlike a straightforward attack like a bamboo, Lyla makes a really lewd attack.

At this moment, Rare will strike where she doesn't want to strike the most.Not only the two arms of Lyla herself, but also several "evil hands" stretched from her back.

And every time I say yes or no, I think I've been through the blind spot exactly a few times, and then I suddenly hit myself with a sweet hand.

Attacks are inflicted with a random Debuff.

Lyla's attack didn't go that fast, but some time before she tried to hit Rare, Lyla's fists and "hands" were placed in advance.

If you look closely, you can only say that it's slimy, and it's hitting you very precisely.

They calculate the difference between Lyla's own speed and that of Rare and direct her to the best results for Lyla.

Although Rare has higher stats, Lyla is in charge.I'm starting to feel like I'm being shown a role model for a low-level strategy video of the game.

Sometimes it's because I'm familiar with rare habits.

Rare is able to perfectly reproduce the movement of her ideal moves through her untimely workouts, but it is just as predictable for Lyla as Rare, who was handled by her grandmother.

But unlike Rare, it's not what it used to be.

The ideal movement, textbook movement, is ideal because there is nothing more.

In front of the logic that has been cultivated and inherited from cotton in a long history, odd tactics do not make sense.

Lyla may know the ideal shape, but it's not as light as she can manage.

It is certain that Lyla's lewd moves were an attempt to crush the "happenings" of Rare's few minions' actions.

On the contrary, Lyla's movements should tell us what kind of behavior Rare is predicting.

If you control and induce Rare, you can do the opposite of what Lyla is doing now.

Rare is still a teacher.

Even if it's literally a lot of Lyla's work, which means that even if the opponent is multiple virtual enemies, it's not impossible to deal with it.

"─ ─ Oh? It's moving... I see, we're done here!"

"That's right. Now... it's packed!"

I predicted Rare's behavior and induced Lyla to move, and before Lyla noticed it, she moved fast and crushed her hand forcefully.Speed and force solve everything.

Rare slammed her straight fist into the gap of Lyla.

In response to this rare attack, Lyla cancels all her actions and crosses her arms in front of her chest, blocking her with several more "Evil Hands".But it didn't kill the momentum, so it retreated back to the original round object.

"─ ─ That's Septum.Even though I look like this, I've been beaten back with a technique that just doesn't say the right way. "

That said, Lyla doesn't seem so sorry.

Rare, who confirmed it, looked at the right fist that he had just punched.

I felt uncomfortable somehow. Should I say it feels strange?

With Rare's power, Lyla would probably have broken the bones of her guarded arm, no matter how much momentum she could have killed.

However, it did not appear that such damage had been inflicted in the current attack.

Somehow, it feels like you hit a hard rubber lump, or it feels a little different, but it's not real.

Yes, could you say that it felt as if you had attacked something with the same or slightly higher defense as yourself?It was a mysterious feeling unique to the game.

It's hard to imagine that Lyla's arm and "hands" have the same defense as Rare's fist.

If so, what does it mean?

"Hmm. I meant it pretty well for me.I think you've noticed. "

"... Octo, what have you done?"

"I've been trying to figure out what I did from the beginning.That's why I told you. I said, "Don't worry about the terrain."

When Lyla said that, she slowly peeled off the "evil hand" that covered the round object.

There appeared an iridescent, round crystal ─ ─.

"─ ─ That's it. Heart of the Spirit King......!"

"Yes, and the terrain I applied for is the King's capital."

In order to activate the Spirit King's heart, we need a location called the King's Capital of the Six Kingdoms.

Looking around, it seemed that this was not the king's capital of any country.

However, if the operation is an environment prepared for the tournament, it means that it has all the elements required as the "King's City".

This kingdom, which is not of any country, functions simultaneously as the kingdom of any country.

That's what it is.

"... the feeling of discomfort just now... Because my power was falling."

The Spirit King's Heart has the ability to inflict a powerful negative effect on anyone but the pre-registered one in the effect range.

"I didn't notice until I actually hit him. Damn it, already."

The reason for this is Lyla's ingenious combat skills.

Lyla matched the falling Rare's combat power with exquisite effort to prevent them from realizing the existence of Debuffs.

Of course, even if it wasn't a fight, you could feel a drop in your stat.

However, I tried to create a tense and critical battle to avoid being unconscious about such things.

Probably expected Rare to deal with Lyla's way of fighting.By then, I knew it would be too late.

"The reason of this world is that the faster you can move, the slower you can see things around you.Conversely, if you move things around slowly, you can make sure you don't notice that the speed is slowing down. "

Most of the "Evil Hands" were peeled from the Spirit King's heart, but each one was left behind and wrapped around.

Lyla focuses on her remaining "hands".

"If I wanted to say something, I wanted to sharpen it a little bit, but I think it would be okay if I used two.It seems that the effect of this alone cannot be zero.

Bye, Septum. From now on, don't be too slow and listen to everything oneechan says. "

"... everything is strange."

Keen, the sound of the crystal crushing.

It is a familiar sound.Rare bodies get heavier all at once with damn memories.

"That's it. Holy Exploration

Lyla's "Holy Magic" shredded Rare LP ─ ─.

Rare lumbar bunny bounced and splashed.

"─ ─ Don't you want to die? Why... I don't know, that stuffed toy!It was a painful fashion! "

"It's bad to hear it hurts. Isn't that cute?"

"No, I'm suddenly going to put something like that on, so I thought it was a cute appeal that was very popular.There's a lot of spectators. "

"Are you stupid?"

Rare is now able to replace damage to LP with MP due to the effect of "Magic Armor".

However, the sudden LP reduction caused by the destruction of the Spirit King's heart was not substituted.I can't help it because it's not damaged.

Lyla's Holy Exploration shredded all of her weakened Rare MPs and LPs.

But that lethal damage came from a substitute doll.

The "Disable Deadly Damage When Taken" effect of the incoming substitute doll invalidates all damage caused by Lyla's magic, leaving both MP and LP that Rare was supposed to lose.

In exchange, the bunny stuffed animal bounced and flew, but there was no choice. You can make it again.

And while I was interrogating the upset Lyla, the last 10 seconds left in the heart of the destroyed Spirit King went by and Rare's full stat was restored.However, the LP and MP remain largely shredded.I will not return to what I have lost.

"... but if you wear it out, you won't be able to fight properly!"

"Yes, 'Healing (High Heel)'"

Lyla was right, I almost ran out of MP with the "Recovery Magic" I just used.

Then we'll have to do something about it with physics.

"That's why I'm going to have a bad fight.I'll have you hang out. "Liberation: Multiple Legs", "Liberation: Optimus Steel", "Liberation: Huge", "Liberation: Armour" ─ ─ "

As Rare's lower body swells up.

With an STR that rises by increasing in magnitude, it is not difficult to crush an evil king that is not suitable for melee combat. MP is not necessary.

The VIT also rises, making it virtually impossible to launch a Condition Aberration attack.

The curse of "technology is long (Ars longa,) and life is short (brevis.)" makes Rare poorer LP than others, but it will increase slightly if the VIT of the base value rises.

Decreasing the hit rate is a problem, but there is no solution.

Rare caught Lyla in the hands of an armored giant growing out of her lower body as she became huge.

You're attacking me in the middle of change!Is that so!? "

It is difficult to catch a small Lyla once she is a complete giant, but it is still easy to target if she is on the way to becoming a giant.

Of course, the power to shake that much will be halfway, but if there is a difference between Rare and Lyla's stats, there is no problem in restraining them.

"Well then, this way too! 'Liberation: Armor', 'Liberation: Deva Steel', 'Liberation: Huge' ─ ─"

Lyla attempted to escape Rare's hands and activated a Huge herself.

Rare also tried to use the Titan's arms to maintain restraint, but Lyla escaped restraint by turning her lower body into a slimy cord-shaped creature.

And like the city of King's Landing, giant Araknay and giant Lamia confronted each other.

"On the same terms, I won't lose first.Even if I don't have any magic left. "

Even if Taunted, Lyla won't attack easily this time and is watching Rare.

In that case, I ran away from Rare and launched an attack.

Lyla rushes in with unexpectedly agile movements.

"'Liberation: Wings'"

It was Lyla who tried to take Rare's back, but Rare put out additional wings and used it as a strike weapon, knocking Lyla around back like a back fist.

Lyla took the "evil hands" by bundling them together.

Rare also grips the opposite wing and strikes.

Even though it was a bundle of "evil hands", they couldn't withstand this shock, and the thread fell apart like loosening.

"Ugh!"

Lyla couldn't help but twirl her lower body and jump back. It's clever.

─ ─ I wonder if that position is just right.

Rare stretched her left hand toward the fleeing Lyla and bent her fingertips slightly.

"─ ─ Yarn! I can't do that!"

Lyla was alert to the thread being released from Rare's left hand and moved from Rare to the right to escape.

But that was Rare's trap.

Lyla avoided being near where Rare was.

Rare threads were already stretched there.

It is not easy to wrap a thread around a sharp lira.

Then prepare a yarn trap in advance and ask Lyla to come there.

Rare raised her left hand with a bluff.

Considering that the yarn is fired from there, Lyla has a high chance of fleeing left and right from Rare.

"Is this a trap!?"

"Yes, the one I left behind."

If it were a regular Lyla, she wouldn't have gotten caught in such an obvious face.

However, the solution that was supposed to be decided failed, and Lamia's unfamiliar body battles overlapped, causing her to lose focus and judgment.

Unlike Rare, Lyla has rarely fought in that Lamia figure.

Speaking of which, Lyla, it's not like everything is going to work out in real time.

And this is something I've learned recently, but if we start something new on the same terms as each other, Lyla always wins.But if you get the same training, Rare will win.

Lyla probably knew that for a long time.

That's why the situation isn't what Lyla wanted.Therefore, I can't concentrate.

Lyla is upset.I don't think so.

Make a quick fix before recovering from it.

Though small, producing yarn also drains LP.

That's why I can't use it for too much.We need to ensure that we deal with it quickly.

Since a mysterious plume is secreted from the lower body of Lyla, the restraint caused by the thread is not long.

Rare put her strength to her eight legs and jumped towards Lyla, who had stopped moving for a moment.

He landed on Lyla, gazing up at it, and held it tightly with eight legs from his arms to his waist.

There is no glue in this part.From the difference between Rare and Lyla's STR, we can't escape restraint.

"Octopus will also be huge and have more vitality...You know, if you destroy a weak spot, you can die instantly.Let's give it a try. "

Rare gripped the upper body of the body grown on the head of Titan Lyla with the hands of the Titan part of her armor.

"Oh, don't do that! I think it's bad!"

"I don't quit. I know it sucks.It's a common weakness for me. "

Lyla's snake body bursts into flames and her tail hits Rare Armor's back many times.

As soon as I realized it was useless, I stopped hitting and tried to do something about the rare upper body by wrapping and tightening.The "Evil Hands" are also wrapped around your body, but the armor blocks the unpleasant feeling.

Lyla's STR can't completely restrain Rare.Nevertheless, the force that cannot be ignored gradually reduces the LP without it, but it doesn't matter anymore.I don't need that much time.

Rare put all her strength into the hands holding Lyla's body and twisted her wrist.

─ ─ Game over! The winner is Magnum Septum!Ladies and gentlemen, applaud both athletes for a great battle!

And let's celebrate the good fight of all the players once again!



It seemed that the rewards would be given right after the finals because the NPC had decided that it was also possible to participate.

The winner is rare.

The semi-win is Lyla.

Bamboo and Blanc are ambiguous prizes for excellence.

It seems that it will not be confirmed in a third-place decision match.

The winning product was surprisingly the fruit of the world tree.

I'm using a real item in the finals, so it's a minus for Rare Rabbit Fur.

When I turned down to try to hold my sigh, the rabbit was shaking at my waist.

Speaking of which, I'm glad we're back.

There was also Adams' ingot in the second prize, but I didn't need it.I would have preferred Mithrill.

I don't care about the prize because it's not the purpose of this time.

The purpose is to show the power of Magnum Melm.

And about the Golden Dragon's resurrection and crusade, make the world think that it is useless to oppose it.

"─ ─ I think you understood me very well about this.That I am the strongest and most rational being in the world.

Therefore I will take the unrational invader as the responsibility of the rational strong.

Some know that there were once golden dragons sealed.

But there are surprisingly few of them who are still alive.

What does that mean?

Yes, no matter how powerful it may be, it may not be eternal.

And the same can be said of the boundaries that seal the Golden Dragon.

Then now is the time.It's only now.

This is the only time we have a chance to destroy the Golden Dragon.

I can do it.

That should have been proven in this tournament.

As far as I know, many of those who are now referred to as "disaster" in Yuji participated in the tournament.

But I broke all of them.

Once the Golden Dragon is resurrected, the world will temporarily be in great chaos.But now we can minimize the confusion.Those who participated in this battle will know that.

─ ─ A month from now, I will unseal the Golden Dragon.

Still, if you obstruct my way, try to stop it with strength.

Only those who can do it deserve my opinion. "

Destroy the exhilarating air, such as, "Now, please say a word from the winner!The tournament dropped the curtain.
