After a period of preparation, the "Arrivals", who attacked 22 levels, decided to challenge the next level.

Flying to 23 levels with metamorphic crystals, it was a vast landscape that was waiting there.

There is a red, blood-coated sky above your head, and you can see the high altitude of your current location or the layers that are becoming wild.

The ground was laid with ruins that collapsed, and it looked like a maze.

A tower is built a long way from the maze.It looks as thin as a needle because it is quite a distance away, but it must be quite high to see it from this position.

Because I had purchased hierarchical information from the Knights of the Labyrinth in advance, I was able to grasp what kind of gimmick 23 hierarchies were.

It's my first homicide to express the characteristics of this hierarchy in one word.

Mr. Force.

"Oh, well, I'll see what happens when we meet."

That said, the Force stepped out of the crystal boundary, a safe area around the metastasis crystal.

One, two, three.There is nothing unusual about walking for a while.It was the moment I thought so.

---The tip of the tower glows.

At that moment, the Force was pulling out its sword and the atmosphere was impacted in an instant.

Kh!

Sparks are scattered on the edge of the blade, and you can see that the blade is catching something.

When the Force swings its sword, a small chunk is dropped.

"I knew it, but it's troublesome to prevent this every time."

The 23-story gimmick is a sniper.Shooting from a monster at the tip of the tower, presumably the boss.While it's exploring the hierarchy, it's always attacking.

The Force was able to easily prevent it this time, but it also had Mind Eye skills to identify enemy attacks.

Magic bullets fired by snipers are super fast and can only cause fatal wounds in one shot if taken with no guard.

In addition, monsters in the hierarchy also appeared during exploration, so we had to prepare for sniping while fighting monsters.

This hierarchy, like the 21 hierarchy and the 22 hierarchy, was a pretty bad scheme.

"It's disgusting to be attacked unilaterally.I wonder if they won't get an attack from us. "

When Erin practises her magic within the boundaries, she leaves the boundaries and releases spells.

A flaming bird emerges from the tip of the cane, and even as it arcs across the sky, it is blocked by a semi-transparent barrier just in front of the tower.

"It should have arrived at a distance, but it's no good.Looks like they're only getting attacks from the other side. "

I knew it.

I already had information from the Knights of the Labyrinth, but I guess I wanted to try it on my own once.

After shooting the spell, Erin returned to the safe zone within the boundary.

For a while, time has passed.

Snipers from the boss have reload time.It was also in the information taught by the "Knights of the Labyrinth."

Even though there were 23 levels, they didn't seem to have the rationality of snipers coming every second.

It takes about five minutes to reload.As the information suggests, the second shot arrives and the Force plays it.

"What do you say, Mr. Force?"

"There's nothing you can't prevent at this rate.It's going to get easier and easier if you keep getting used to it. "

"That's good."

"Can I practice shooting down just one or two more shots?"

Not at all good.

Even though Jin lost his life, the Force has been cautious in dungeon exploration.This would be one of the good changes.

While waiting for a shot from the boss, Sophie looks out of the boundaries and grabs a bullet that the Force has shot down.

"What's wrong?"

"No, I was thinking of doing a [high-level appraisal]."

"What do you got?"

"Yeah, just a little bit. This bullet is also cursed. It's not like a wound from a 21-story enemy can't be healed by sacred magic, but be careful, the wounds from this bullet are harder to heal."

"That means there aren't many cats here yet."

"I think that's what's going to happen."

"It's Gahn...."

Neme that shows a clear depression.I didn't play very well on the 22nd floor the other day, so I realized how painful it was to be dismayed.

Well, I haven't had a lot of fun since I've been in the deep.

Rather than saying that Neme herself is bad, it would be better to say that the dungeon itself is counteracting the recovery of sacred arts.

Twenty-one levels of total nullification of sacred arts.Twenty-two tiers that make it difficult for defenders to stand around due to ultra-high range attacks.

And it seems that 23 levels of snipers tend to be targeted by defenseless backers.

What grudge is there against the priest?Whoever built the dungeon with all his heart has a lewd personality.

After shooting down a total of two snipers long enough, the Force returned within the boundaries.

"That's enough of me. Next up, Roslia."

Well then, I'll go.

On behalf of the Force, now Roslia is out of bounds.

In this 23-story offensive, the main role of preventing snipers is the Force, and the Sub is Roslia.

The Force has the ability to read attacks [Heart and Eye], and Roslia also has the optimal solution of the sword muscle in her brain with the [Holy Sword Leader], allowing her to shoot down magic bullets with the Holy Sword Fractus.

In addition, if you can't intercept with a sword in time, you can use defensive spelling such as "Unfallable Wall" to prevent bullets.

Sophie, a tank player in the "Arrivals", has been removed from the shooting squad.

Her endurance allows her to take bullets, but she can't react because she doesn't have the ability to spot attacks.

For that reason, the monsters that come out of the ground will be distracted by themselves, so the hardship will increase.

Hmm, I guess I'll be fine, too.

After the Force, Roslia, who prevented three rounds of sniping, returns to the realm.

Unlike his time, the Holy Sword Fractus easily burned out the Magic Bullet, so dealing with it itself did not seem so difficult.

Well then, let's try the pattern with other people being targeted next.

As long as there is no problem, we will proceed with the practice of dealing with snipers as scheduled.

The Force and Roslia can't stop the bullets coming at them, but there's no point in shooting down snipers at other members.

Worst case scenario, if Sophie was targeted, we might be able to handle it, but if me, Erin, and Neme were targeted, we wouldn't have to die in one shot.

For now, can someone please play the role?

Me, Erin, and Neme meet each other to ask Roslia a question.

Everybody says, "Eh, who's going?".

Well, Erin, please.

"Why!"

Erin speaks up with Roslia's nomination.

"Hey, I was wondering if you could spare my life if you were my best friend here....."

"We were so close, but rather we weren't close," he said. "You're definitely the only one who can die."

"You know, we're at the same party, right?There's no one to die for! Apologize! "

"Eh... ah, yeah. Sorry."

I said, "I was just picking out the most interesting reaction I could get when the bullets arrived.

That's right. "

"I apologize for the loss!"

Erin brightens her face and speaks loudly.

"Isn't that how you react, Roslia's gonna tease you?"

I didn't miss hearing the Force murmuring like that next door.



"Erin, get down!"

Erin, the Force prevents any incoming snipers.

Among them, the surrounding monsters pointed their gun at us without attacking us.

"Don't fall to the walls!"

As Roslia raises the barrier, the mechanical soldiers scatter at once.

The sound of gunshots coming from all directions, like breaking the tympanic membrane, but thanks to Roslia's defensive spelling, the bullets didn't get here.

"This defense won't last long.What do you want to do? "

The monsters that appear in the 23 levels are all the more different than the other levels.

Most of them are mechanical soldiers like Zenmai and Teppan, but they attack with guns just like the hierarchical lords.

Assault rifles and shotguns specializing in mid-range combat, snipers hiding behind ruins, and soldiers using machine guns and cannons.

There are many ways to attack, and it is relatively easy to defeat them if you bring them into a close fight, but the soldiers' leadership prevents them from approaching the range.

So, if you try to defeat with Erin's magic, the soldiers will deploy the same anti-magic barrier around the tower and defend themselves.

As for the trend of hierarchy, perhaps the sixteen hierarchies in which horse populations appear are the most similar.

However, this hierarchy is dozens of times more troublesome because of the monster's high level and leadership.

"Should I go for it?"

"No, the Force should be prepared for the next shooting.I'm out of here. "

"Sophie, can you go alone?"

"I can't do that. Can I take Roslia?"

"Me? What's the defense here?"

"Ask Erin to cast defensive magic.Anyway, attack magic can be prevented. "

"What, like a child I can't use!It's not their fault they're defending magic! "

"I didn't mean to say that.I will prioritize the enemies with magic barriers, so please attack them. "

"Okay."

"The Wall of the Unfallen Castle is also at its limit.I'll be there in three, two, one. "

Roslia signals, and the wall of light is broken.

At that moment, Sophie raised the ground with earth spirits and created a simple wall.

The earth wall is an obstacle to bullets, as well as a scaffold for Sophie and Roslia to run up.

The two of them jumped out. In the meantime, Erin expands her defensive spelling to prevent the rain of incoming ammunition.

Soldiers with an elongated device in the back right and back left are deploying against the magic barrier.

"Then I'll do the left.Sophie, take down the man on the right. "

"Okay."

Sophie's [high-level appraisal] gives us a complete picture of the role of the soldiers.

Split in two, Sophie approaches his enemies as he builds earthen walls, and Roslia storms with a knight spell called "Light Chariots."

"Erin, the enemy is approaching from the side. Can you protect me too?"

"No, I can't! We can't use both magic at the same time, and if we remove the barrier we're holding, we're a complete hive!"

Well, now I'm going.

Mr. Force!

"I know. How many minutes till the next shooting?"

"Thirty minutes and twenty seconds!"

Well, I'll be back in two minutes.

Time management is an important role for priests using sustained healing and buff spells.

It was difficult to say that Neme had acquired the basic skills of a priest, but she grew up after her experience exploring dungeons in "The Strongest Unstoppable Party".

As well as buff spelling, this time I'm also in charge of sniper time management.

"Let's go!"

The Force jumped out of Erin's defensive spelling gap.

It is not so difficult to see the flying bullets before the Heart and Eye skill.

With the sword of the transcendent mind, all the bullets are fired and attacked by soldiers in the shadows.

Sophie and Roslia broke into a forward group formation.

Although the shooting at us will not stop, the group will shift to the left and back as they try to escape.

This will do!

Erin rearranges the defense spelling to align the bullets with the direction they come from.

Now we're exposing our right body to the tower where the boss is.

I had a bad feeling about it.

"Mr. Force, please come back!"

"It's been less than a minute!"

It was at the same time that he screamed and his boss let out a sharp killer.

Sure, a 23-story sniper shoots a magic bullet every five minutes.The rule has always been correct.

But who decided that a sniper can only fire a bullet once every five minutes?

The Force must have noticed the stereotype mistake.

Instant Edge Momentary Step !

It was faster for enemies to fire a bullet in a straight line.

How cunning! This hierarchy is dominated by:

By shooting only once every five minutes, the adventurers are distracted, releasing a second shot that was preserved in a needle-like gap created by the turmoil with the mechanical soldiers.

Even though it was just a sniper, those who challenged this hierarchy were setting a trap in anticipation of even preventing it.

The bullet is heading straight for Erin.She has no pretense of realizing it.

Deliver it!

A force that stretches its sword at a speed close to the sound.A high-pitched sound exploded in front of Erin.

"Oh, my God."

Turn around, Erin. The bullet passes next to it.

Apparently the Force managed to prevent the shooting.Instead, another shock strikes.

Mr. Force!

Uh-oh, really?

What a shattered sword, the sparkle of the Force.

It must have hit Erin's stomach because he forced his sword to slip into the radiation.

Instead of happiness, we should praise the Force for preventing snipers from that distance.I was lucky to have Erin's life.

The force rolls to the ground without killing the momentum that jumped out.

In the meantime, the sniper on the tower won't stop killing.

"You're lying, dude...."

There is no guarantee that there was a second shot.

And now that the party formations are completely broken, it's our best chance to take down the "Arrivals".

Killing Qi !

Maximize hostility toward the tower.

Here we are! A distant sniper smiled at us.

Such a sight is imagined in my head.

"The Shadow!"

The bullet was fired at the same time that I was shadowing.

Bullets pass through where the head was a few minutes ago.If I had been a little late, I would have been shot dead.

The situation is not long enough to provide such peace of mind.

- Please, finish with three shots.

The desire is crushed by the intense hostility unleashed from above the tower.

The target was the moment of high-speed manoeuvre landing in The Shadow.

Four shots!

I can't jump now.It penetrates when it hits the ground.

What if we change course in the air?I can't do that.I'm human. The laws of physics cannot be ignored.

So what do we do? Are you going to die like that?

Is there such a thing? It's still halfway to dungeon domination.We can't die here.

Think about what you can do to survive.

For a moment before we get to the ground.Derive it and do it.

Before I could think, my body pulled out the dagger on its own.

Is that okay with you, me? Are you sure you can do this? Am I wrong?

We didn't have enough time to get lost.Even if my choice was a failure, I'm just going to do it now.

- Identify the moment.

An imminent magic bullet. Forget the blink and just stare at the end.

Slide your hands in first. Then, hit the blade with a bullet and play it so that it slips.

Nature and body move.So I just have to figure out the moment of impact.

Ugh!

When I realized it, my right arm was playing a bullet.

I didn't feel a numb shock, but I didn't fly.The other limbs are safe.

It's a miracle. I managed to make it through Bandit Arts.

But next time, I can't. When the fifth shot arrives, he will surely die.

My wish came true, and the raiders on the tower were murdered.The enemy may have been the last bullet.

"Notebook, are you okay?"

The Force pulls out another demonic sword, Purgatory.

Then he slipped his body between himself and the sniper.

"Well, somehow...."

I managed to get things right.Now, even if the fifth shot comes, the Force can prevent it.

"Oh my God, what the hell happened?" I thought the van burst right in front of me, and the notebook flew away! "

Looks like Erin didn't catch up with her.

Well, it was a rather reckless attempt, but I was right to keep my sniper.

If Erin had been targeted like that, he would have been shot in the head shortly after he reacted to the bullet.

"It's not too soon to feel safe, Notebook."

Sounds like it.

I knew this hierarchy was cunning.I can't believe you're going to hit me again at this time.

Ringing ground sounds. A huge battleship was ascending into the sky as the ground broke apart in the distance.

"The inner boss is coming out!"

As Neme shouted, the new one appeared as the boss in 23 levels.

The Battleship is heading our way as it lowers the mechanical soldiers inside.

"This is a tough time...."

It is difficult to say that the "Arrivals" formation is now in place.

Me, the Force, Erin and Neme are ready to consolidate, but Sophie and Roslia are in the enemy's pocket to defeat the soldiers.

I want to call them back, but when I do, I do, and now I get shot by a nearby soldier.

"Leave this to me!"

That's how Erin casts magic from the tip of his wand.

However, the bundle of flames is neutralized by the anti-magic barrier placed in front of the Battleship.

Until then!

Erin bites her lips with regret.

The machine gun that was mounted in front of the Battleship was pointed at her.

Erin!

"I know!"

Erin deploys defensive spelling instantly.

I was able to prevent the machine gun from being scattered, but I didn't have a second hand.It's a dirty poor situation to endure.

"Four and a half minutes from the first shooting!"

Right. You got snipers in here, too?

Four shots in a row, so it's unclear if we're in a position to shoot five minutes after the first round, but don't forget to prepare for the sniper standing on the tower.

Battleship scattering and Erin's defensive spelling are reversed.The defensive spelling breaks if you let go of the penetrating Magic Bullet here.

Then we'll be hives by machine guns.

What? Maybe we're not packed?

What do you want me to do?

Medium boss without magic.Shooting of soldiers from a medium range.A sniper from a hierarchical boss flying from afar.

They folded up and surely hunted down the 'Arrivals'.

"A-ah!"

A purple flash runs through the sky.It is the trajectory of magic bullets that I have seen many times since I came to this hierarchy.

The ultra-range shots fired without waiting five minutes passed over my head.

I pierced a flying mechanical battleship.

Eh?

The direction the sniper flew in was not from the tower.From the back of us - that is, from the entrance of the 23 floors.

The members of The Reacher (Albers) met the second magic bullet that appeared from the opposite location.

As I stared at the battleship falling from the sky, I noticed the signs and confused my head with further suspicions.
