"... that's surprising. The building is in shape for you."
"Yeah... this is where I bought my first armor... that's the dining room I used to stop by after my adventure... haha... all, all is left..."
"Be careful... there are signs of something from earlier... something in the building ahead..."
I miss you so much.
It's too realistic, different clarity, and subtly different in detail and size from what I was looking at over the monitor on my PC. But... still at a glance, it's the same.
"That's the former Quest good offices over there. I'll do a little research."
Activate the [Sonar] of abilities, this city… A wave of magic echoes through a city of scale that can also be called a city, giving us an accurate map and the location of the demons here.
"That's a lot...... plus obviously the big reaction of the boss class is everywhere"
"Really, you've got it all taken over... all of it, I'm gonna kill you"
"Yes, let's start with that building."
At the next moment, the door opens vigorously and a large quantity of goblins wrapped around armor appears.
Dark skin, one of the top goblins. Besides... that armor was of the highest quality, no matter what the players would have made it.
"Lacole steel red armor. Damascus coat. Hi-irokane torso armor. Much more... you're wearing an unworthy object, a miscellaneous fish flavor."
"You're a rotten treasure. Reis, cover please. Freeze it and beat it all at once!
"Yes! Both of you, be careful!
Outside the continent. Malignant magic filled with endless skies.
The Goblins, who would have gathered plenty of it and been affected by it, strike this attack in a motion that is no different from that of a human being and take formation.
but...... only people you guys know it works.
As soon as they rejoice in this attack and raise their voices, everyone's feet freeze and the rain of light flies in there.
To the odd goblins, now my sword is slapped in, and six heads dance through the universe with one machete.
"I don't want to destroy the city as much as I can."
"... apparently, it was this demon that was nesting in this building and everything. What do you want me to do, check inside?
"No, I'll do that later. Now...... I want to get rid of the demons in the city at all"
"Agreed. I don't know what to do, it's a lot of space, but do you want to part ways? Just when we break up on this road, we can rendezvous in front of the church square, though."
Once I saw the map now to that suggestion, I found a big demonic reaction in that front square of church.
"So let's go. There are quite a few demons on the road, so be careful, both of you. There are also major reactions in front of the church, so to challenge each other after we arrive. Like?"
"Yes. Mind your own business, Kai."
Proceed down the alley. There must have been a hidden passage to the facility for an item auction around here.
Apparently, only there had not been found by demons, but otherwise the path had been filled with various demons.
The way the mixed species are acting together. Now it's really the same as it was in the game days.
Plus... they're all the kinds of people who should have lived in high-difficulty dungeons.
"... you guys are a lot better friends than the people you killed each other"
I don't know how many times it's gonna be again. I can walk away from a demonic raid.
Last day. I guess the player who was logged in that day still hasn't come to this world. But the characters were left in this world.
Second or third. Unused characters or even characters who weren't logged in.
In a stagnant world, we were all gaining extreme strength. What would happen if such beings were left in a world of disabling and without the goals to be defeated......
"Looting... strife... and going outside the continent...? Thinking about it, we, Lue, Reyes, and everyone else's subcharacters... woke up somewhere else to avoid them."
Someone's will. Only we, unlike many other characters, must have woken up in isolation with some will.
It's got to be something different than who's after this world for less.
"Is it time for a rendezvous? Right, I'll think about it... after I knock you out."
Front square of the church. A place where all players must visit.
The first character created begins the journey with this church, and the players who died outside the city also set this city home, this church becomes the Lispawn point.
Definitely a memorable place for all users to take care of.
There now a lizard, like the one that had made the big truck bigger nearly two more turns, was sitting there releasing a black aura from his entire body.
"Gigantland Dragon...... too big for you and aura out there...... but [Advanced Appraisal] but the kind is out there... is this the effect of malicious magic?
Maybe after this kind of existence has evolved, we'll be seven stars.
Peeping into the shadows, Lue and Reis emerge from the opposite path, retreating immediately into the shadows, just like this one.
Go through the bushes in front of the church and join them.
"Kai-kun, Kai-kun! What's that!? I've never seen anything like it!
"Me too... I just feel terrified about that demon... I can't stop chills"
Lue insists so desperately while lurking his voice, and Reis blues his complexion in horror again.
I guess so. At least the level of that demon I just checked...
"... if it's about Arkham, it has a level of strength to kick it over, that's"
"... hey thats not going to be stylish? What do we do, fight?
"Um... can I fight against someone like that...?
"Reis. You're not what you were back then. Your strength is clearly visible in my eyes. You... are already beyond the strength of Arkham."
Encourage Reis. That's not a lie, it's a truth. She has already crossed the Arkham level in battle competitions and battles in Sarsgard.
And Lue and I also went up to levels that didn't come up for a long time, and on the contrary, we had the effect of eating the fruit dropped by the Seven Stars once, and the magic value is weird.
Tell them those facts and tell them that they both have the strength to line up with me and, on the contrary, to cross.
"Lue. Connect all around this with the Spirit. Don't let the damage spread."
"Copy that. Kai-kun, you're going to do your best, aren't you?
"Lace fills her magic with regenerative techniques without letting her hair in for a while after my blow. You can't push me with a blow with everything."
Copy that, sir.
And before we start the fight, I'll try something just in case.
Forbidden. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to choose the means to get this place back.

If it makes sense, my life will run out in 30 seconds.
Dastardly enough. I don't usually use it, but if I feel like it, I can kill them just by looking at them.
But...
"Chip... does this guy have the same earth backup as the Seven Stars? Natural healing is much bigger than slip damage"
Unfortunately, it is impossible to defeat HP where it has been shredded at this rate.
It still looks like the mighty blow is the only way to sharpen it to one plane.

But there's no guarantee that we'll be able to kill him.
Unbelievable, but just a habit of being in the city... this guy is actually a pre-seeded dragon. And... he even had the status to cross the fennel that took in the Seven Stars.
Plus ridiculous resilience. Should this be… even more precautionary?
"Cover the two of you. Sorry, that dragon strength... I think it's probably about as strong as the Dragon God"
"Oh... are you just a monster in a city like this?
"Unbelievable... really, can you win..."
"I'll win. Never."

"Mm... can't you take the second once you turn it off"
Apparently, you can't erase all of their skills.
But there's more to it than that.
"Really... is this who the discomfort is...?
When I peeked at my status, I felt a little uncomfortable before.
My profession should have become a [liberator]. But now I'm back to the [Knight of the Dead].
I also thought that was temporary... apparently not.
Place the sword on the ground. Then at that moment, the profession becomes the [liberator].
I didn't have a sword when I fought that Yoloki. Is that relevant?
"... will some skills disappear as well? Is that a weapon-dependent skill?"
And when they hold the sword, they show up with skills they've never used before.
Is this... should I try it when I calm down?
"All right, ready. I'll tell you again. Opening rue concludes. And I'll take the biggest blow out of your hair. That should take the down, so Reis absorbs magic in the meantime. Lue stops the dragon even more with ice before he gets up, and I make intermittent attacks to attract him, so Rayce beats the biggest blow to a spot where he's likely to be weak if he can. Because the devil's eye should probably put some blindness on it."
"Ugh, yeah. I'm getting a little nervous... but I feel like I could do it now"
"Yes. Already confirmed. At the base of the tail, the big protrusion seems to be the weakness"
"Roger, Lue, don't cover that part with ice."
"Okay."
"Then... the next time that dragon turns to the opposite alley, it's an ops call"
Tension meets this one.
Not like usual. I'm not the only one here. There's also Lue and Reis.
This is a situation where we have to fight our opponents alone.
If anything happens to you two. The anxiety is slowing this leg down slightly.
But at the same time, the feeling of 'protecting them at all costs' lights the chest.
And the moment the dragon slowly turned toward the opposite alley - the wall of light unfolded to protect the surrounding buildings.
"Over here!
Running over, stepping on the tail to be wielded, flying further into the lights and higher.
He wields his sword and spins his body at high speeds, leaving his momentum - unleashing his moves.
"God forbid!
Big tears from the head to the neck, bits of blood scattered across the square.
Scream. Whether the severe pain runs every time you move it, the dragon that turns this way but keeps your mouth wide open and screaming.
"Can't you take it down?"
Running over again, a dragon that hated to move his neck waves his forefoot at the cod.
Deeply cleave and scratch one of them as you take them with your sword.
And then he stabbed his sword in the other foreleg.
"" Burnstrike ""
Attribute attack by a handful of swordsmanship.
Bursting torso, ruptured left front leg. Finally take the down.
And at the same time as the rupture, the effect of [the protection of the Ice Emperor] gradually begins to freeze the neck and forelegs.
Just nagging. But as if to hold it back immediately, the blood scattered around it freezes and keeps the dragon's body connected to the ground.
"Not yet -!!! Freeze, freeze, freeze! Freeze it all!
Lue's guide finally reaches into the dragon's body, and instead of his body, ice thorns grow from his right eye, and furthermore his forefoot is covered in ice thorns.
Sealed movement, plus internal damage.
But you still can't run out of strength, vibrate your whole body violently and start crushing the ice.
"Come on!
Swing out all your strength and activate the Heavenly Break (Demon).
Beat your neck up hard and hard with your right fist before you expose yourself to the slash that occurs when you wave your sword down again, and let the slash descend.
Intensive attack aimed at the neck with the biggest scratches, it will just hold.
Finally a dragon that lowers its neck and spits out a lot of blood.
More Lyue's ice demon guide bursts there, blocking his mouth completely with blood ice.
Take your breath away, where it's scratched, one more push.
Reis sprays a red and black flame from his body, slamming a thoughtful blow to his downed head as he transfers all the flames to his fist.
Bakiri and Reyce's arm stabbed entirely in the head as he made a sound with Gushri.
Ghosts rather than you. The head of a dragon that completely loses its prototype to the attack of Reis, whose eyes glowed red in dazzle.
"Lue, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Reyce pulled once and set up the demon bow! Not yet, not dead!
Reassemble the sword in the upper stages and smash the head that regenerates at a terrible rate over and over again, where Lue's restraint is activated, interfering with regeneration.
The red rays emitted by Reis penetrate the entire body without any number of degrees. And when I finally stopped showing you how to recover...
"" I pray to the Sword God, and I just want Heaven to be cut off. Give the end equal, tear apart the sky to look upon, and do not create a new order with this hand. Feeding ourselves, I do not promise here the end of the extreme, the birth of a new reason. ""
Chant. Once upon a time... for a move that I have hesitated to use in two ways that annihilated every seven stars of Leis' body.
The aim is the weakness taught to Reis, the protrusion at the base of his tail.
"" Heaven Break (Ultimate) ""
The falling light continues to reduce the dragon's marginal HP with this HP.
"Lue, keep me recovered."
This time, I didn't use [Extreme Vitality Enhancement] because of the configuration that dedicated everything to attack power.
The missing part, the others make up for it. Lue will do what Leis can't do with my abilities.
And - the dragon's body disappeared completely, and the sound that could be heard echoed in his brain.
"... just like before, no more ridiculous leveling"
Still, a single battle increases both levels.
And Rhue also seems to be experiencing a rebound of leveling to the point where he accidentally suppresses his head.
... That means Reis is...
"Yes, it hurts, it hurts... it hurts... my head... it's going to crack"
"Ha... be a little patient, because it's a level-up recoil"
"Ugh..."
Check it out, apparently Reyce got 21 levels up in the current battle.
... That's horrible. The whole boss thing in the city just sticks to this point.
After this, a few more, maybe even more, were enough to make me feel slightly underpowered.
"Phew, Phew... Kai, it's finally subsided..."
"Good day, Reis, good luck... it's Big Venus"
"Me too, it's been a long time since I've had a nerve fight so far... good luck conducting Kai-kun I'm not even used to"
"Yeah, it was a pretty fire-fighting operation to be honest, but it's good to be able to take it down. It's true... you were so strong... there's no such thing as that habit abilities or drops."
"Hey! I thought you'd drop some awesome swords and accessories. I am!
As I joke, I finally lose my shoulder strength to Lue, who shows outrage.
Oh, really strong. If this is... the environment surrounding Central City right now... the fight from here is going to be quite a long one.
At that time, I noticed that Reis had still activated the demon eye.
"Reis, are you worried about something?
"Ah, yes. As a matter of fact, I was observing the magic currents between the dragons' deaths earlier... for a moment it seemed like a magic currents had passed through that church over there, and now it's interrupted... I wonder if it could have protected the church..."
"Hmm. Church protection......? You got something for me?
"Let's find out! In a way... it's also where the three of us were born. Wouldn't you like to take a look at Rayce?
"Oh, that must be! You may remember something."
Church where there seems to be something. I miss it, where we started.
As I stepped inside the door open... the sight I hadn't imagined popped into my eyes.
"Hey, what's this!? Roots of trees......? It's hard to get in the back!
"What... it's like the roots of a tree... where are you stretching from, this"
"Uh... it's not a place like this from the beginning...?
The cathedral was made of tree roots.
It's not just the floor. An endlessly stretched root is filled with roots of trees, lifting chairs and the like that were placed, as if they were stretched even in a spider's nest.
I say it's indoors, but as if it's going on in the jungle, I head to the altar with my sword to pay my roots.
"Here... before this altar, we got off. So, after a conversation with the priest here, we go outside... and the adventure begins."
"When I was there, I jumped outside without even listening to the priest!
Oh, I think that's probably because I skipped the event. Right, was that the situation from Rhue?... hey, just the second one... right?
"So, there was Shun and Dahlia outside."
"I see..."
"When Rayce was out there, there must have been Elle, Oink, Shun and Dahlia. Maguña was stuck in the workshop."
"Uh, yeah. It was popular, so when I went outside, someone always asked me to make gear."
"Gu Ni... that's your last buddy... what is it?
Oh, yeah. He was a particularly demanding blacksmith among valuable productive jobs.
It was the highest craftsman in the game, with a good chance of creating objects with high abilities even in the creation of original weapons, having mastered all recipes and sometimes even higher craftsmanship levels.
Well, on the other hand, I used to build gear that ran into stories.
"This church, you didn't have a name, speaking of which. Even so, what is this root..."
"Hey, once we get to this root, there's a door that leads to the back room, but you've never been there."
"Hmm? Over there... maybe a penance room or something, I've never been there either"
Precisely, a non-intrusive area. A place that is depicted as just a background and can't actually get in. But there is no such thing as a non-penetrable area in this world.
Flat, Rhue opened the door and stepped inside.
"This one's dense for a while... I hate it if I get bugged with this, but luckily it doesn't seem like there are any creatures"
"Sounds like it... is there any plant living in the back..."
"Hmm..."
The city where the great trees were lost. Sealed church. Roots of trees.
I feel connected.
That's how you manage to go down the hallway, and a staircase appears that leads to the basement.
Going down there, we now head out into the underground tunnel covered with dirt walls, as if in the ground.
Was there an area like this...
"I don't know... it feels weird, like my whole body mumbles"
"Me too...... what is it, is there anything ahead"
"That's just depressing...... both of you back there. Clear the way at once."
At some point, the roots of the tree change to a darker color, which also appears to be slightly swollen.
When I cut that creepy root into pieces, I could see a splendid door in the deepest part.
But the now cut roots instantly block the way and start creeping again.
"Kai-kun, one more time! Now let it freeze and stop, so let's run through it all at once."
"Roger that, Reis, get ready to run."
"Yes!"
A flash. And the blue and white cold air fills the basement without getting in for a while, stopping the root movement.
And he ran through the door.
"Phew... I'll open the door."
"I don't know, I haven't been so excited in hundreds of years! Can I discover the treasure!?
"Ha ha, sure don't remind me of the dungeon offense"
"Sure thrills me...... what's in a place like this...... is it sacred"
Open the door. Then, apparently, this place was escaped from erosion by the roots of trees.
And a similar object was set up to the altar that was above it, on which......
"Ah, big nuts"
"It's true, it seems to smell good on almonds... it's pretty big"
"It's not a treasure... but maybe if I ate it, I could be strong? Shall we eat crushed!
"Wait, wait, wait, wait! What are you both suddenly trying to eat! Just let me check it out, too."
I rush to wait to see if the excitement was at its climax or to the two of us serving tonkachi and cooking tools with a wookiuki.
Yep...... Rhue all the way to Reis anyway...... were you so excited?
"... Hmm. Now you're going to be able to eat a lot of them if you even make almond tofu... not that. Just put it in the item pack once..."
"What's Aninnindowf? Make it for me."
"If you were Otowuf, you would have fed me with a Mass Rabbit. It's an unsweetened babaroa, that one. I wasn't very good at it, but it tastes good as soon as I eat it over a show."
"Stay away from eating for a bit, both of you? Let's do a little research... la..."
... what the fuck. I didn't expect to see you here.
"Ha... was this... nearby? You've got to be kidding me."
"Yeah? Kai-kun, what's wrong with you? You look crazy."
"Was it something you knew?
"... I've never seen it before. But I know."
Out of the item box, these big nuts...... no, take the seeds out.
"Can I keep this for a second?
"Ugh, yeah... but you can't eat it on your own, can you? Though not my brother-in-law I could have told you."
"... Kai, what's wrong? That's... what the hell is that?
Store again in the item box and stare at the name displayed there.
I'm sure you won't feel anything if I show you two this. Anyway, I don't know.
But I know... No, we players know.
"... the name of this item... is' Grandia Seed '."
Yes, it's the title of the game we were playing, and we couldn't find any relevant stories or items until the end.
In a sense, it was the very item that all players could say they were looking for.
"Grandia seed......? What kind of stuff is that? Can you eat?
"No, it could be poisonous when it comes to seeds. Could it... be effective by planting it?
"That's right! I'm sure that fruit is a treasure! Let's plant it somewhere!
"Oh... yeah, I do feel like I should plant this..."
Lost Daiki. If that's what this species involves...
It seemed right to plant this in the place where the great tree once grew.
... This is not a hunch. Just a reckoning. I'm a gamer.
Apparently, with the loss of this species, the roots of the trees seemed to have finished their activities.
At a stage where it's in the hands of a large number of visible roots, maybe someone, this makes me feel like I've given up.
So... if we plant this, will someone be in trouble?
"Speaking of which, you couldn't go without a big tree in heaven... no way"
"Kai-kun, are you going to heaven?
"Oh. If... if I had the last seven stars, I'd say it's there."
"The Last Seven Stars... Beyond this City... How Much Malignant Magic Is Injected..."
"Isn't that the other way around? Probably won't deliver that much magic. Instead... Isn't it isolated and weak?
"... I see. Isolated…?"
While leaving the church, aim for the place where the great tree was, the center of the city.
Along the way, I encountered a big demon whose strength is too weak compared to the dragon I fought earlier.
No, it's strong enough, but compared to that one, it really eats shoulder watermarks.
After all, protecting that church, was it a special demon?
"More and more... the city is getting rough. Did you cut down a big tree in the center? I can't believe there was such a terrible fight..."
"... It's kind of sad. A lot of people like me and Lue are dead."
"Right...... right. This neighborhood has a team home and a private home. So I guess... we all woke up here and lived here. So... all sorts of things have arisen, and I wonder if that has swelled..."
Eventually I saw it, that compartment far wider than it was in the game days.
Numerous mansions and houses lined up, none of which… did not retain the prototype.
It's like a city in a conflict zone. Desolate enough to make such an impression, my chest is tightened just by walking.
"Almost there. There's a big tree in that section, in the central section..."
"Yeah. And right next to it... there was our house."
"Our...? I lived with Dahlia, Shun, Oink, El, Gu...?
"That's right. Because it was in the middle of the lot, Chimmus, who drew this place when he built the mansion... we all appreciate the gu 'ni. I don't know... I can be proud of my surroundings."
"Haha, you did! Everybody doesn't want to go through our house. That's why I was so proud of you for being so luxurious."
"... by the way, some humans said 'what a demon castle' because of me"
Totally rude people. That's a DUDUDUDUE sentence.
"I see it, this is... that's a brilliant burning field"
"This is terrible... I'll try to purify it"
"Right, this doesn't grow plants"
When Lue sets up his sword and activates "Dispel Earth," all the reddish and black-colored soil and the fragments of the dead and decaying great tree become sand, and even more decomposed and beautiful soil.
And as the little grass sprouts came out of the ground, Lue took a breather.
"Phew... I think someone buried a lot of bodies here. It was so... contaminated. But you didn't feel malicious. Probably... someone's mourned me."
"Well... then I'll plant this seed"
"Yeah, you are. Hehe, you have plenty of fertilizer in a way!?
"Lue, you're just careless!
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it would soothe the place..."
While her black jokes plain bump, she digs up a little bit of soil, places seeds and soils.
Not now, but I don't think it sprouts right where I planted this.
But - at the next moment, the sound that I could hear again resonates in my brain.
[SYSTEM] The return of the Grandia Seed to the earth restores its connection to the reason of the world.
Functional limitations are lifted because the conditions have been met.
Home is now available.
Team commands are now available.
Item withdrawals from shared warehouses are now available.
"... are you serious?"
"Yeah? What's wrong? Have you sprouted yet?
"No, I don't think so. Mr. Kai......?
I manipulate the menu screen with my trembling hands.
And on the item shown, the more my heart stopped, the more I was surprised.
