Episode XVII Club

□ [Unshadowed] Marie Adler

It's right after Franklin grabbed Eli.

When Eli and Franklin disappeared from the arena, I immediately jumped out of my box seat.

The reason, of course, is to go after Franklin.

And to help Eli out.

My... Marie Adler, a super AGI-type position, ran through the aisles in the arena with full speed, supersonic manoeuvres.

I instantly reached the exit and when I tried to get out...... I was prevented from making my way to the junction.

It is not surprising in itself that the junction is stretched to the outer perimeter of the arena.

If you could do that maneuver that trapped Figaro and Xuan Yu, you could do these things.

Most importantly, Franklin is very good at selling fights to common sense, starting with the manufacture of very special monsters.

... Well, < super > are people who are big and overwhelming in common sense.

I immediately predicted what he was after, beyond the fact that this junction, which restricts access to and from the arena, was a manipulation by Franklin.

Let them know the powerlessness of the kingdom.

Eli may also be one of the ingredients that makes that situation.

I can't predict what kind of "use” that would be, but it wouldn't be a lot of things in any case.

Yes, if there's anything for Eli while she's sitting in a cage like this, I can't even look her in the eye.

That's why I just left the Central Grand Arena.

How did you get out?

The rationale is the same thing that Xunyu's "True Fire True Light Blast Dragon Heel" broke the boundaries of the ceiling part in Super Clash.

"True Fire True Light Blast Dragon Hegemony" is the depths of the Super Position [Corpse Immortal].

From that, I could predict that the superiority would allow us to exceed the performance of the juncture.

So I've also been out of bounds in the depths of the covert lineage super position [shadow].

Unlike that True Fire True Light Blast Dragon Ha, the depths of [stunning shadow] are not the depths of excellence in firepower, but they are more suited to these situations.

I lost about half my SP due to paying for the boulder, though.

Out of the city, I used a lot of "cover-up" skills on myself, and at the same time I used my "cover-up sensing" skills in full swing to find Franklin.

I found a suspicious amodoki floating through the sky while I was doing so, so I set up an ambush.

I jumped off the roof of the building, stepped on my own shadow figure that let me out in the air, and ambushed Amodoki over it.

Advice, Franklin was there, so I definitely knocked Arcane Shell's burst through bullets in lethal quantities after he slit his neck.

Then he also slammed a bomb into the aemodoki of the vehicle and jumped with Eli in his arms.

That's how right now, carrying Eli...... I'm running through Gideon's city.

◇ ◆

□ Gideon Ninth Avenue, dueling city

Elizabeth woke up with a slight vibration transmitted to her.

I miss it somewhere, and the shake I felt yesterday.

It was the feeling of moving while being carried on someone's back, and the softness I felt and the smell of tickling my nostrils were the same as yesterday.

"Ma, Lee?

"Yes, it's me, Eli"

When asked with a mouth still slightly unruly, the person who carried her - Marie Adler - responded.

"I dare you to be happy again. But why..."

"For one thing, I'm in the process of escaping to a safe place now, so I'll talk to you later -!

With that said, Marie keeps running.

The Elizabetes being carried is unaware of it because of the little vibration it feels, but its speed is superior to hundreds of kilometres per hour.

Marie - Hidden Genealogy Super Position [Shadow] is a build dedicated to AGI and cover-up skills.

Therefore, it is easy to run at that speed even if you take into account the person you carry.

What she is currently aiming for is the Central Arena.

There are still many advanced masters left.

There are boundaries to it, which prevents high levels from entering from the outside.

At a time when Marie left the central arena in the depths of [Shadow Out], some monsters still stormed inside.

But in the Central Arena is a gathering.

I was treading that I would be exorcising no matter what.

... Most importantly, there was someone in there who could easily do it.

"Marie, give me this if you want to snort."

That's what Elizabeth says, giving away the terminal she still held while she passed out herself.

"This is... oh, that's convenient"

Marie immediately senses what the map means and moves to avoid red light points.

Marie's light points are not shown on the map because she uses more than one of her cover-up skills, just as she did when she ambushed earlier.

But still, it's easy enough to compare the streets of the map to the scenery to get a current position.

"By the way, I know what a mark like this trump means."

"Um, I hear Diamond is Franklin, Heart and Club are his pussy."

"I see..."

The moment she heard it, Marie was driven by the urge to tongue.

"... you will live."

Whispering, groaning so hatefully.

The mark on the diamond hasn't disappeared, even though Marie said she definitely sustained fatal injuries nearly ten times the damage to Franklin's maximum HP that she "nursed" and also confirmed that the replacement system accessories weren't activated.

(Do you use Life Link as well as Casling? That way, you can't kill a monster in your capacity unless you crush it)

Life Links.

It is the skill of “sharing” HP with monsters owned by you.

Rationally, it is a powerful skill that allows you to continue the fight without reducing the number to near total annihilation, but there are also many limitations.

Valid only for monsters that fit in their own subordinate capacity and cannot be used in monster service in a format that uses party frames.

Above all, it is bound by a deep bond with the monster, provided that the monster is in a state of mind that takes precedence over the owner.

The monster puts the owner first over himself, it should take a long time to spin the bond.

Therefore, there were not too many users of LifeLink......

(It's like that Franklin doesn't have it in the first place, although it's a tough skill to achieve)

Franklin creates monsters.

Build a "Monster that maximizes loyalty to itself from the start" and you can hold as many additional HP tanks as you want.

Plus, if that monster makes too much HP without combat capability, there's no use thinking about it from the capacity it takes.

(But when you're alive...... that's not good)

The opponent is super, you should see that the same hand can't get through twice.

And as long as you live and hostile, you may come crushing with unexpected hands.

Marie knows that she was hostile and destroyed.

(Now as soon as possible, we need to get Eli to the central arena......!

The current Central Arena is a safe area where the Kingdom-side < Master > is gathered when they are no longer able to leave the arena.

But the biggest reason Marie is aiming for the central arena is...

(There's... there's that guy (...). If that guy is who I think he is...... even Franklin opponents can't lose)

With an arithmetic on one person in mind, Marie went for the central arena.

Sometimes monsters pop up on the road, like an encounter accident, but without difficulty they blow up the steeple with a burst trailing bullet to break through.

That's how he kept rushing through and the exterior of the central arena looked slight.

"All right, we're just one more breath away. Eli!"

"Yeah, Ma"

"- In the meantime, I'll have the princess back."

From the terminal, I heard that voice.

Immediately after, Elizabeth's weight and breath disappear from Marie's back.

If Marie checked her back, there was a monster there that resembled the same little bird she had seen in the arena.

And Elizabeth is nowhere.

Understanding what happened, Marie mutilates the little bird and strikes her tongue at the same time.

"The distance should have been much longer than the effective range of Casling..."

'Oh. There's a monster I put all over the city for surveillance. I kept Catherine up with them. Bucket relay.'

I'd just like to say what's going on with recast time and consumption MP if you try Marie, but the opponent is at their peak when it comes to monster creation, even if it doesn't include Tian.

I knew it was useless to just ask.

'And you did it. Hey, Super Kill. I thought I was gonna die.'

Franklin's throat was supposed to have been slit by Marie earlier, but she's already talking smoothly so there's no such scratches.

That irritates Marie.

"Because I was going to at least let Despena"

"At least you're not with Despena."

"I'm going to kill you again now. I'll have Eli back, too."

"Ahhhhh, it's really not cool"

Franklin makes a slight but truly frightening appearance in his voice, yet still has a hellish laugh.

'Cause I'm scared...... I wonder if you can do something about it, club (...)'

At that moment, Marie's possession of Hazard Sensing skills sounded the maximum alarm.

Demonstrate agility as [stunning] and withdraw from the scene at supersonic speed.

Whoever Marie had painstakingly retreated saw the space she had until just before “collapse away”.

The roads, the buildings, even the trees... everything in shape was crumbling and crumbling and becoming dust.

'I'll leave your opponent to him.' Cause I was originally positioned to have “exceptions” like yours dealt with. '

That's all I told you, the terminal that was communicating Franklin's voice destroyed itself.

I would have planted such a mechanism in advance for when it was in the hands of a third party, but if you try Marie, you can't afford such a change.

"Chi......"

Up to the brink it was Gideon's street corner, and now beyond the landscape, transformed into a desert-like scenery.

There was a set of alien figures there.

A man wearing a hat imitating a bird's face and waving a baton.

Centaur playing strings.

Ketsey blowing brass instruments.

Kobold pounding percussion.

Marie realizes she remembers seeing the combination somewhere.

Trying to remember where I saw it...... I remembered it was a street art orchestra that was in Central Square yesterday.

But no.

If you ask me what's different...... it's the look of Centaur, Ketsey and Kobold I have with me.

Marie saw them surrounded by a large audience in an adorable way, well received with the performance.

But now the skin (...) is gone.

The fur is gone, instead the steel epidermis covers the whole area.

Player of mechanical tricks.

Be a performer and the instrument itself.

In Marie's eyes, they're not an adorable orchestra right now, they just look like murder machines.

And there's no audience for them right now.

Around them everything that is shaped crumbles, and only the crushed desert spreads.

"I thought it was a well-armed orchestra... if that's what you're doing here right now, you're an enemy, right?

Marie asks with the earliest certainty.

Sensory skills and… intuition as a skilled master.

He felt he was a formidable enemy that his opponent should fear on both sides.

"Affirms"

That's not a voice.

Their performances are coming to Marie as if they were words.

"May I ask your name?

"Club on the board. [Music (King of) King] (Orchestra) Berdolbel"

"Really?"

A club is one of the hearts and minds placed by Franklin in this gideon.

This is not a local requisition force, such as a turnaround group.

And the job called [King of Music]... super position as well as Marie's [Shadow].

(... you must be strong)

Perhaps Marie guessed that the rank of Embrio would be the same.

And that you won't be able to avoid this opponent and reach Franklin.

(Even if we follow it, that's synonymous with being pinched over here and over there. I can't do that. Oh already...... you're in the way)

Marie exhaled one sigh - her own Arcane shell.

"- I'm in your way, so please die."

"- Don't hurry, audience. Loosen up and listen to the soul song and die '

Berdolbel also answers with a tact - the explosion and crushing sounds intersect.

One of the battles that happens this evening is particularly intense.

[Unshadowed] The battle between Marie Adler and [King of Music] Berdolbel began here.
