□ April Some Day [Dead Soldier] Ray Sterling

"It's evolved into a fourth form."

"... right"

That's what Nemesis told me when I woke up in the morning in the inn, like a re-bake on a day that evolved into a third form.

However, I was somewhat predictable this time.

Last night's nemesis was because he had no appetite, like that night when he evolved into the third form.

Thank you. When nemesis normally evolves, they lose their appetite and evolve while they sleep.

It's kind of a plain evolution, but I hear there's a difference in the evolution of Embrio, and I guess that's what it is. Was the evolution to the second form the exception in many ways?

Nevertheless, I even heard it was a little flashy when it came to advanced evolution... but I overlooked it because I was asleep.

"In the meantime... congratulations"

"Uhm! Now I'm one of the advanced ones!

Nemesis seems happy somewhere because there were times when he was sick of slow evolution.

"So what was the change that took place in the fourth form?

For now, the outfit is changing as far as it looks.

Is the word "upgrade" close, or is the outfit a little more luxurious?

... although my body shape doesn't seem to have changed.

"First of all, I think the Counter Absorption has gotten stronger. Perhaps the damage cap is about 400,000."

... I see, useful power-ups.

However, as for the damage of a single blow, even the previous 300,000 doesn't, but...... it is still appreciated for the amount of increase, as it can sometimes be missing like [monochrome].

"That and the terms of the Payback were relaxed. In the future, it can be used to charge for rewards, even if it is not the damage taken during Black Circle Shield."

"Oh, that really helps"

It can unleash a "reward" with a blow while fighting in other forms that are easy to use.

"Those two points alone were reinforced enough, but there's more?

"Oh, I still have my destiny"

That's what Nemesis says. Four fingers stand.

That shows four...... no, the fourth.

"One more form"

Apparently, the evolution of Nemesis has cut the rudder to further diversification.

As with us, Io, with his multi-stage deformation Arms, seems to have evolved only to enhance performance in its existing form, but with the same signs and timing of evolution, it varies greatly from person to person.

"So, in what form?

"This is it."

That's what Nemesis says, turning that figure into a weapon.

No, that wasn't a weapon, to be exact.

I had a mirror edge like a wing...... it was a mirror.

"... that's an unexpected form"

"Well, as of the third windmill." Weapons? ♪ Though it felt like ♪

"But I'm finally getting away from my weapons."

'No, it's also a weapon.' Cause these wings come off. '

When Nemesis says so, the mirror edge wings come off and fit in my hand.

It seems to be a pair of twin swords, though skinny and uniquely contrary.

I can't use Counter Absorption in this form, but I can use Revenge. And a slightly different version '

"Saying?

"The damage counter builds up half at a time (...) on the double sword. If I tell you, I can hit you twice. '

"Ho."

That helps.

In particular, it may be more effective to split into two shots when fighting an opponent with a [brooch].

Is it a good idea to separate it from this double sword for a giant monster and for an interpersonal?

Only forms that have increased in boulder evolution to advanced are more user-friendly than third forms.

'Wait, wait, those two swords aside. There would be no point in this mirror simply being able to shoot twice'

"Oh, and so is that"

If this is all you really need, you don't need a mirror.

"I have my skills properly in this mirror, too. Something that can also be used in conjunction with the Revenge of Twin Swords.

The third form used "counter absorption" and "reward goes to the other side of the star" by deforming in one form, but the fourth form can be used separately and simultaneously from the beginning?

... If you look at it this way, it is certainly evolving (...) while referring to the previous form.

"So what does it do to the mirror?

"Uhm. This is what it is."

That's how the skills Nemesis showed......

◇ ◇ ◇

□ ■ Border zones and platforms

Shortly after Ray activated his skills, Behemott lost sight of Ray.

That didn't disappear.

In an instant, I framed it out of Behemott's sight.

(... faster?

Moving his gaze, he could find Ray.

It is not comparable to an AGI that did not reach subsonic speeds even with a buff just before.

No, I'd rather...

(As much as I do...... yeah. Exactly the same (...)

Behemott, who "nursed" Ray's status, learns that Ray's AGI is the same 37564 as his current AGI.

(Skill name… Chaser From Mirroring? synchronous replication (mirroring), I see)

Behemott also made assumptions about what kind of skills and what it was costing, based on the properties of Nemesis.

That's......

((...) partial synchronization of stats limited to the person who did the damage to me (...). Probably costing the damage counter)

He derived that answer from his "nursed" status and what Luke said earlier, as well as the fact that "even if Luke shielded Ray, he let him take a blow first".

From there Behemott makes further conjectures.

(Cost is equal value consumption over seconds...... then too heavy. I wonder if it will be deducted from the damage counter as much as the status added with activation per minute. There is no possibility of fixed value or MP/SP. That would be too light a cost)

Behemoth, who also anticipates from his own experience to the cost of Nemesis's fourth form of skill.

What was to be feared... was that the speculation was completely correct.

◇

"The Pursuit Comes From a Water Mirror":

Activates by specifying "One" the status of the target audience accumulating the damage counter.

Make the same own status as the specified status the same value as the target status.

* Subtract the same value as the target status from the damage counter accumulated by the target audience at the time of activation and after every minute as a cost.

* If the damage counter cannot be subtracted due to insufficient numbers, it is automatically released.

* If the subject's status changes during activation, his/her own status will also fluctuate accordingly.

* Status fluctuating with this skill does not receive an increase outside of this skill.

◇

That's the power Nemesis gained in his evolution to advanced.

From his experience of struggling against opponents who beat him purely in status, he created by evolution the skills to strengthen Ray's status… No, to put (...) hands at the feet of the strong (...).

After [Death Soldier], [Scouts] were selected in Build in order to indulge in the status to be selected in this skill in "Nursing". (There is also an aim to reduce the risk of being crushed before activation with "Atmospheric Detection")

Regardless, this skill would be heavier and less user-friendly than the skill of Embrio, which specializes in copying and status enhancement.

Moreover, only one place can be designated at this stage.

But still, I don't mind.

Because as long as you can reach it... Ray already has the power to get the other guy's neck.

(... well. Target Shining Dispair in this accelerating state and shoot through my steeple, I guess)

Shining Dispair is a special, focused laser cannon.

Shoot that body out instantly as long as you have aim.

That was impossible until the last minute when there was an overwhelming difference in AGI, but not if Ray now has the same AGI as Behemott.

(Oh, okay. Holmes throws himself out of stone for this, accumulating damage counters and directing information to activate his skills... you do it)

It was a behemoth that I knew was a guide and rode, but as things stand, it's half pleasant and half cold sweat.

This can really reach my life.

(As for what to do, keep waiting until the other person's cost limit. Or crush the relinquish and release a sixth. Increase the cost and push it to release all at once.... Neither is boring)

Then it's like you've gone by avoiding the other guy's tactics.

Think of it as enjoying the fight. Then Behemott himself is a wake-up call.

Therefore, as a behemoth......

(From the front, beat it or not)

The diseased behemoth sets the turn and turns back to Ray, who was trying to target himself.

Running straight through to Ray, trying not to crush Ray's five bodies in Tiger Scratch before he gets shot out.

But at the same time, Ray moved again.

"Hell of a temper!!"

Together with the declaration, contrary to the left hand with the [black entanglement sleeve] of the cannon mode...... a black-purple temper erupted from the [armor] of the right hand with fierce momentum.

The smoke of a triple state anomaly fills the floor with fierce momentum.

(... a wide and thin state anomaly like spraying does not work for me right now. You know that much over there, so this is the same as "Flash Eye" earlier. Something for the blind eye again, I guess)

Seeing, Ray, fitted with [Stormface], had lowered his posture and soaked his whole body, including the mirror behind him, in black purple smoke.

He also sees the moon and night taking [soothing all-purpose psychic pills] at the edge of his sight. It seems that Tian's civilian has already left the floor, and Behemott understands that he has probably also folded in the use of Hell's Qi from the beginning.

(Because of the blackness all over my body, my visibility drops when I'm in this mood. But if you're watching the movement of the airflow, you know where it is... right? This is also a fabric stone)

Behemott attempted to explore Ray's position and launch an attack with a temper motion to match his movement.

But soon I realize another intention hidden in this curiosity.

(Because of this impatience, I can no longer see the hidden shadow of the moonshadow. Besides, the "consumer art" completely slips through the substance, so I can't see movement even in the smoke flow)

Ray's expansion of his temper as a smokescreen has significantly increased the success rate of the two surprise attacks, Moonshadow and Marie, who remain hidden.

(That and this are combined. Maybe I've been putting this formation together since the beginning with that Flash Eye.... to defeat me)

Behemott understands.

I'm sure they've been ready for this moment, he said.

I guess I'm working out several tactics to break my strongest self, braiding new powers, and hunting myself down as one aggregate,.

When [the Beast King], the ”strongest in physics", was found to be taking part in the pageant as an escort to the Empire, he was preparing to fight it.

That's why they're fighting here and now.

Instead of buying time for Shu to defeat Leviathan, we're really going to defeat the “most physically powerful” [Beast King] on this occasion.

At least, a clan called Death Period was fighting for it.

"... fun."

From the bottom of his heart, Behemot said so.

I seriously wonder what time < master > I've been trying to beat myself.

Logan, who says strong things in his mouth, also actually avoids behemoths.

Franklin seems to be taking countermeasures, but there is no indication at all that he will be challenged now that he is cautious but hence unfinished countermeasures.

No one else can say "fight" or "I'll let you win".

That's why Behemott enjoyed this time of year from the bottom of his heart.

Half the nature of behemoth, the fact that behemoth as a gamer hasn't made my mind jump so far in over a year.

(... I knew I wanted to win from the front before Ray's power-up went off)

The other person comes head-on with a full body spirit.

Such a delightful battle, Behemot will not defeat head-on again.

(But if we get closer to Ray, the moonshadow and Adler will ambush us on that occasion.... I don't have a big mess like omnidirectional attacks right now because Levi's in charge)

If there were Leviathan on this occasion, he would have trampled and vandalized his surroundings and followed Keri, whether he was hiding or fast.

Behemott is stronger than Leviathan, but nevertheless he is not good at it because of his physical difference.

Instead, it would have been completely indispensable if it had been all aligned.

(... no crying. I knew it would take Ray to put a tail on him, and if those two were to come up with an ambush, I would perceive that and respond. I should be able to)

Deciding so, Behemott heads straight to Ray.

I already know where Ray is due to the angry movement.

He instantly narrowed the distance and tried to defeat Ray, who lay his hands at his feet.

And when I made the mistake, I sensed that something was coming out of the shadow behind me - two places (...) at the same time.

That was in the form of a triangle surrounding Ray and both of them around Behemott.

(I see. Adler was diving in the shadows as well, not the "consumer art" on the way. I thought you weren't going to attack me until I was about to run out of SP, but by reason)

The two Moonshadows and Marie would be the formula for attacking Behemot the moment Behemot attacked Ray, Behemot guessed.

If we attack Ray here and now, both dare attack the steeple in the gaps that arise at that moment.

The formula to raise it was high, but still about 20% would eat the attack, Behemott thinks.

Thus, Behemott does not attack at this moment…, responding by turning behind Ray in steps that utilize his small body.

This way Ray's body becomes a wall, and the two attacks make it harder to target the steeple.

(Destroy Ray in Tiger Scratch. Then moonshadow, stuffed in Adler's order)

That's what Behemott thinks. Even if he doesn't move into an offensive posture,

- I saw a hand stretched out of Ray's foot.

(... Huh?

Only for a moment, Behemott's thoughts blank.

Because it's impossible.

Because there wasn't supposed to be another one.

Already, I see everything on the kingdom side.

Ray is in front of him, the moonshadow and Marie are also out of the shadow, a little further away and the moon and Barbaroy also stand.

Behemott, who then looked around only for a moment, realized.

(…………………………… Ah)

Standing on the wall, huge armor that keeps you in defensive position.

Synonym for Barbaroy Bad Byrne, [Shooting Iron Armor Magnum Colossus].

But even if Behemott used "Nursing" for it... I didn't see anything.

There's only one thing that that means.

The contents of [Magnum Colossus] are… empty.

(... Got hit!

Perhaps when Luke crushed Behemott's vision with "Flash Eyes".

At that time Barbaroy also left only his armor, and he hid somewhere else.

So where did Barbaroy hide?

It's - naturally, in the shadows.

"-" Heaven be a heavy stone. "

Barbaroy crawled out of the shadows slightly behind due to the difference in AGI, but faster than a void poked behemoth left... Beasley, wearing only the inner, activated his skills.

Still, for behemoths using "beast possession", such as weighting up to about 500 times, it is only an addition to the extent that a blanket is worn.

But......

(... heavy?

The weighting was powerful enough to make the behemoth even feel the definite weight.

(No way, this is...)

To what is happening to me now... and what Beasley is doing, Behemot comes to the point where there is a possibility.

At that moment, Behemott could see the moon-night face smiling at the edge of his sight.
