Golden Experience

Episode 226: Zagreus' Heart

Returning to the Tree Forest, Rare 'summoned' Uluru there, restoring a fairly diminished LP.

Lyla is already there to greet Rare.

"─ Welcome back, Rae. Seriously, I didn't know you were going to take down an archangel. Wow, super LP is down!

"Lyla, I'm home. How do you know... oh, 'true eyes'. What about Bran?"

"I had my seat taken off for a moment. Well, I don't mind staying, just in case."

That would mean an operation entanglement and an archangel entanglement.

"So, what are you talking about? You said something about a system message."

"Yeah. Did you read that?

"Not yet. Then I'll read that one first. Oh, before that. Sugar."

Over here.

I instructed the bugs to consolidate the perimeter of the Sky Castle drop point and keep it sealed off by force.

Currently, there are Vespas flying around for drops, plus glasses urons.

The players are ordered to end as soon as they find it, so I think it would be okay if it wasn't so much, but I don't want to be too rough.

Even if you get it, Sky Castle is an important item in itself. Even if it's broken, it doesn't mean it's useless.

Well, that's what I'm talking about.

"Really? That sort of thing."

To a lesser extent than the Demon King a little after his birth, that is, there are 56 bosses with more fighting power than the calamity that destroyed Hills in the last event.

We couldn't afford to be that conscious when we were fighting, but if we think calmly, we're not the ones players can normally fight and win.

Rather, Rare couldn't do it with a straight shot.

I mean, that was originally a boss set up to not win, a so-called losing event, I guess.

"I didn't know you'd win. How did you do that?

"That's a secret. Rather, is it about the Hugel Cup that Lyla is proposing or requesting cooperation from the operation?

"Yes, in principle, I am forbidden to say anything until I am notified in a system message, and then I am told that I should only divulge minimal information. After an archangel was crusaded by someone once, it's all right. I was talking about it.

Well, I suppose it's already been woven in and allowed that I'm not publicly in control of the Hugel Cup. If you think about it, it limits who you can talk to and what you can talk about. "

"What exactly did you cooperate with?

"Like it said, let the knights restrict their movements or something. Demon players might come, too, and you want me not to attack demons with a grudge?

Luckily, it seemed accessible from the entrance and exit to the basement of the castle without having to go into the city, and I'm glad you didn't have to do this through the city.

Instead, I have absolutely no access to the basement from the castle, so even if it's in the city, it's not under my control. I guess that's why I didn't realize that existed at all.

Then let the knights clean up the tunnels with their items, set up tents near the entrance and exit, and take a business trip to the tavern where the Knights were packed and put out the stalls. "

So what's the reward from the operation? There's something there, isn't there?

"It's a secret. If you tell me the secret to the Archangel crusade, I'll tell you."

"Then I don't want it"

"Oh yes..."

We're just talking about it on SNS.

Nobody seems to have succeeded in the crusade in the past, but the fact that the archangels have already perished in modern times has been promoted by players who are tough and resistant to detachment.

After all, Rare ─ ─ ─ The Seventh Disaster was depicted in a cool way, but I didn't really notice it desperately, but from the side, it might have been so cool.

"What are you doing?

"I didn't. More than that, it looks like you haven't been defeated by an archangel once in the past yet, but are you glad you released the information to me?

"My instructions are to release the information once the archangel is crusaded - so why not because the modern one is defeated?

That's not what the operation wanted to say.

I should have liked to have had a pause about the specifications to be transferred to the past world, and it has absolutely nothing to do with modern archangels.

"I wonder what specifications you were going to make. Maybe if a certain number of archangels were crusaded in the past, the modern ones would be weaker."

"Come on. Either way, Rae knocked it down before anything happened, and there's nothing to be revealed first, and it doesn't matter."

"Or so it is."

What form would that archangel take if it were to weaken?

Is there going to be a decrease in the number?

No, it's just a fish.

It was because there were so many of them that I struggled, and if there were fewer of them, it would be shorter.

"Speaking of which, what was the Archangel drop item?

"Oh, yes."

I "summoned" Yubel, who was entrusted with collecting drop items, and "appraised" the gems.

"The name is Zagreus' heart......? Tarot? Greek myth, I guess. Why does the heart of an archangel bear the name of the heart of the Son of God in Greece? When it comes to Zagreus... he's definitely the son of Zeus and Perseponae, he'll kill me once, but he'll reborn later... no way"

The explanation reads: "It has the effect of healing the flesh of the dead and bringing back the soul".

"... Isn't it a resuscitation item? This."

"... right"

It simply seems to borrow a name as such an item. Words derived from the name of God, such as panic and narcissists, are also conveyed in many modern times. The same is true of Hebereke where it has changed. I guess this is something like that in the game.

However, resuscitation items became available after a short period of time.

And from now on, you can get as much as you want.

As long as you read the system message, you can challenge the Archangel by consuming the right item.

Details are unknown because the successful crusader still does not exist, but if this Zagreus heart drops even during the crusade of archangels of the past world, it can also be called an event that can convert essentially unwanted items into resuscitation items.

"Looking at the related threads, it seems that the most efficient conversion is a clear heart. Even though it's not particularly useful, it's 10 AEN. In other words, you can challenge an archangel with 10 clean hearts."

Low-ranking materials, for example, only seem to be decimal. There have also been reports that 10 copper ores have finally been added to the 1AEN.

Fortunately, there are plenty of pure hearts gathering at Lyla's and Rare's. Recently, we have given similar instructions to the Wealth Church, so they will be gathering there.

This item is also collected once and for all as if it were to be a resuscitation item material, and I am not particularly thinking about its use. I mean, if you've got a formula for getting resuscitation items, I can also say that you don't need them anymore.

It might not be a bad idea to let the Knight of the Hugel Cup or something like that hold it on Lyla's guide and let him use artifacts in exchange for gold coins.

"In short, you're talking about an artifact that exchanges 10 refreshing cardiac and resuscitation items. It's not a bad rate, is it?

"No, it's too much. That's as long as we beat the Archangels. The reviews so far seem a little impossible."

It's up to the players to win.

Or is it simply a matter of the number of attempts?

As far as this message is concerned, it seems that the destination will always be shortly after the birth of the Archangel.

If so, no matter how many players fight, no battle experience will accumulate in the Archangel's AI.

If the other person's experience is reset every time, it should also be possible to pattern and analyze the other person's behavior to some extent.

Then try again and again and let them know who they are, and one day someone will win.

"It seems that the Archangel is a species that is highly suitable for resurrection, resurrection, recovery, and so on."

"From a drop item, I wonder if so"

You don't know Lyla, but that's not all.

It is also evident from the fact that more than fifty archangels, all of whom had acquired 'Recovery Magic' and mysterious resuscitation skills.

"'Resurrection'? What is the acquisition condition?"

Until now, Rae has not attached so much importance to resuscitation.

In Rae's faction, it is naturally Rae herself who is most dead and damaged.

At that time, all their families will be dead at the same time, and no one will be able to revive Rare.

And even if Rare were to resurrect at that time, it would take an hour for the relatives to respawn anyway.

In other words, it is a great damage at the time of death, because it is not very different whether to live immediately or in three hours' time.

But fighting the Archangels changed my mind.

Resurrection is not just necessary for rarities.

It's a more powerful tactic than I thought to get my deceased family back on the spot right away. I mean, it's very annoying and depressing when they do that. What you didn't like when you were hit, even if your enemies were hit, you shouldn't like it.

It was obvious to think about it, but I didn't consider it at all because I only saw the damage in the case of my own death.

"Huh? What 'resurrection'? Was there a guy who used that?

"Yeah, the archangel did. Well, thanks to you, it was tough. Even so, I haven't seen much detail, and I don't know exactly what the acquisition conditions are."

"Well, you can't afford that in battle with Kamikami."

It wasn't really superior if it was just one, but it didn't have to be said.

"But if you go in the past with artifacts, come on, there's a new archangel, right? If you have that 'resurrection' thing at that point, can you look it up?

Not a bad suggestion.

To be honest, it felt like the Archangel had had enough for a while, but if that's what it's all about, it's not a rush to go either.

However, according to the contents of the system message, the crusade difficulty was 5 or more.

This is a very difficult number to judge.

At any rate, there is probably no difficulty setting more than 6. In other words, 5 or more means that the difficulty is blue ceiling, and it is unclear whether it is a level that can be defeated.

There are still no Enemy Crusaders by players.

"It's enough to weaken the modern one but make it disappear. It's jumping in the past for the purpose, and it won't mean you're stronger than the modern one. That's the end of the line. Rae could have defeated the modern one. Yu, yu."

To see what is raised on the SNS, the archangel is apparently standalone.

It would certainly be easier if it were weaker than the individuals who fought in modern times.

The active skill of the various bows and arrows that can be said to be the first to be killed, if shot from the front, I don't feel like hitting anymore, and if there is only one, it may be possible to clear the normal image if you concentrate.

"So let's go with oneechan. Ask Blanche or something. Right?"

"... maybe it's not bad."

If you turn off all the properties and hide your mouth and eyes with a mask or something, you can also make noise.

On top of that, partying with Lyla and Blanc for a boss crusade seems interesting.

Nevertheless, if you find out what you cleared at the threesome party, it will still be a hassle, and if you can, hopefully no one will find you.

Should we hide ourselves in 'camo' or something?

"Then I should be able to tell Blanc to rarely transform. If I didn't tell you, you'd definitely be transformed, wouldn't you, that kid? By the way, did you find out how to change the activation key?"

"I told you that. Pervert forever! I'm so sorry."

"Though I didn't think it was bad in the sense of suppressing you from 'perverting' me in a murky way"
