Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu
Defense Specialization and Ninth Event 2.
At that time, the three of Chrome, Cashmere, and Iz were riding on the head of a giant hack and repeatedly hunting exclusive monsters.
"Oh, it looks like Maple and the others are coming over. Looks like the material dropped quickly."
"Wow, that's amazing. I've been hitting tropical fish for a while now."
Though I was running around the area killing tropical fish that gushed out of one end of the eagle's giant body, I never dropped anything and never met any other kind of exclusive monsters. Although Iz gained combat power, he decided to hunt safely with three people while only tropical fish were found, as he was the type that needed to be prepared.
"Normal monsters aren't coming out anymore, so I'm worried about one of them."
"I think I can do it now. You can make cannons and stuff like that. If you take it out aggressively, you'll be able to fight solo."
"It's not free anymore. It's not the same skill that you'll be able to use again after a while."
Although Iz returns it, it is true that it is not impossible to fight in Solo. It's also clear that we were able to take on the highest difficulty at the last event.
"Though I can earn a lot of slaughter, I still feel this is not enough."
"Well... the assassination will make a difference. However, finding materials has never been easier. There are as many strong monsters and players as I want to see."
"Hmm... is that so?"
In an effort to make it easier, Kasumi gave instructions to Haku to kill tropical fish one after the other, kill them, and stack up the number of crusades.
So Maple and the others came along as they were playing haku in the corner of the field.
Hey!
"The two of you came. Haku, stop."
Kasumi lowers his head to the ground when he stops the hatch.
"How are you two?
"Yeah! I've been knocking down a lot of horses on my way here!
You look good, too.
"Oh, it's so fragile, it won't hurt."
"So, Maple."
"Yes, yes! Mr. Iz, this is it."
As soon as Maple hands over a chunk of water to Iz, Iz checks for items that have been freed up by acquiring new materials.
"Er... you can make items that increase the time you spend underwater. It's more powerful than anything we've ever made, so I wonder if underwater exploration will progress?
"I see. There are lots of oceans and lakes....."
Maple nods well. As a sally, I thought it was a water item, so it was generally as expected.
"Like I said, I don't know when I'll be able to collect it next. Should we switch to looking for monsters other than tropical fish?"
"I see. I'd appreciate it if you did. The total number of slaughters is also growing steadily."
Again, as expected, some players are increasing their crusades with tremendous momentum, or the total crusades are on track to reach their goals. Looking for materials with the second goal of earning Crusade Count seems to be no problem.
"Besides, if you don't have to aim, you don't have to get caught and knock down the fish. And you'll earn enough."
"Tell the other three... that's good. We'll go around looking for sharks for now."
"Oh, you can leave this area to us. I've never met anything beyond my control."
Maple and Sally told me they could call me whenever anything happened and ran off on the horse again. Kasumi also ordered Haku to start searching again for the shark that Maple and the others were talking about.
"I don't think it's gonna be a problem if we don't use the new skills we've acquired."
Oh, I haven't used it yet either.
The skills Chrome and Cashmere have gained in medals are useful in battle, so they won't be used unless there's a fierce fight.
"I made a skill with a chance to increase the number of finished items when I made them, so it's not better than fighting."
"Oh, but that's gonna make my costume a little better."
"I see. What are their skills?
"I see... I wish I could be a good monster."
…… Fufu, it looks like Maple split my luck. Looks like he's out. "
Behind Kasumi's gaze was a manta dancing gracefully in the sky. The three of them are convinced that it's like a shark that Maple and the others were talking about. Then we can't let them escape.
"Kasumi, come on!
Ah!
Kasumi gets closer to the manta in a straight line as he increases his speed. Then, a blue magic formation unfolds around the mouth of the manta that noticed approaching, releasing a large amount of water like when Maple jumped up from there.
"If you say so, it's where you use it! Leave it to me, Guardian!
When Chrome holds his shield like that, Chrome takes all the water streams without swallowing the three of them and endures it.
"When activated, reduce damage taken for a short period of time to shield the area. Condition abnormalities don't work. Plus! Well, it's a [devotional love] for ordinary people!
Unlike [Dedicated Mercy], Chrome's Defense is also practical because the damage he takes is reduced.
"Then I'll show you. [Samurai's Arm] [Sanno Tai Knife/Lonemoon]"
When Kasumi jumps by skill, he takes off the manta that has spit out the water and slashes it. The manta slashed with the arms floating on either side is large and staggered, and its HP is not zero.
Kasumi regained his position as he fell towards the ground and restarted his sword.
"[Ichino Tai Knife, Yamato]!
Even as it falls, the effect of the skill also enables movements that are impossible for people. Cashmere moves instantly in front of Manta by skill and slashes her with it for more damage. As he fell again, Kasumi activated his newly acquired abilities.
"[Battlefield Shura]"
The red light that activates from the body of the scum rises. Chrome was watching as [Taunt] drew Manta's attack again.
"[Sanno Tai Knife/Lonemoon]!
Kasumi reactivates the skill he just used, rises again with an acceleration that does not violate the laws of physics, and leaves the sky slashing and tearing the manta. Then the next time it would fall again, Manta's HP bar was low, and Cashmere was convinced that it would make a mistake.
"[Ichino Tai Knife, Yamato]!
After finishing before there was any new movement, Kasumi moved again instantly and waved his sword, and the manta disappeared into light without any resistance. Cashmere catches a chunk of water left in the light with one hand, and calls for a hatch to dexterity in the air and land on his head.
"... it looks like you changed your job to a curator.
"Fufu, that's exactly what I was doing in the game."
"Ah, oh, it took me a little while to get used to these moves... but the skills I acquired greatly reduced the cooldown of my skills for a certain amount of time. The disadvantage is that all skills get cooled down when nothing is defeated during the effect time."
"Oh... that's so peaky again... is it that strong? You couldn't have done it without that skill."
"If you use your mobility skills better, you'll be able to jump around more easily."
"Ugh, this is a messy move....."
"We're all getting stronger and more reliable. It's more helpful than that."
"Hmm, did I go too far?
"Fufu, I think chromium is fine."
"I agree."
It was chrome with such a face that it was not satisfactory to hear it.
Two people running around the field on horses away from the chromes. Maple grabbed Sally with one hand so she wouldn't fall off, and turned into a gatling hand, shooting through a swarm of pimples along the way.
"This is a drifting horse..."
"Hundreds of shots! No, but... if you shoot a hundred shots, you'll get a bit of a hit!
"Isn't shooting at the boulders getting better? It's a strange story to be able to shoot with a shield."
"Fufu, like Mr. Wilbert, we have to strive for 100 percent!
"Ahahah, that looks impossible on a boulder. Well, the shot leaked... [Cyclone Cutter]!
When Sally says so, the wind blade strikes the fish that barely survived Maple's shooting and stabs the shark.
Yeah, hit.
"Wow!
It is difficult to attack more monsters while grasping the rope and moving at considerable speed. While not inadvertently hitting an obstacle in the front, Sally sometimes looks back at the group of fish that Maple couldn't knock out, sometimes turning sideways and knocking them down accurately to make sure the material wasn't dropped.
"I'll fill the gaps. But why don't you go for it?
"Ohh!
After running around for a while, I was able to encounter some large monsters such as sharks, manta, octopus and squid. However, none of them pose such a threat to the extent that they are attacked by large amounts of water.
In fact, Sally, who felt that she didn't have to get off the horse as she defeated, repeatedly attacked the horse at its highest speed while letting Maple shoot at it, taking a distance and destroying it with a fixed turret Maple.
"Hmm, I feel like I can save you the trouble of getting off."
"Wow. Even if I ride a horse, I get avoided."
"The attack is simple, and you can read it to some extent."
Repeat to defeat and pick up the dropped item. The number of Enemy Crusades is only converted into one large monster, but since it turns out that the materials you wanted for Iz are guaranteed, we decided to defeat them first before they were defeated by other players.
"It's only been a day, and I'm sure you'll find out where it's going to be in a little while."
"Would that make it easier to collect?
Hmm, when people come together, there will be more competitors, so I can't say for sure.
Ah, I see. Then we have to find a hole!
"That's the best part. So I feel like I'm running around like this."
Seven layers were chosen because there were just the right means of transportation for two people, of course. In addition, if the seven layers are wide compared to the other layers, it is also a good point that competitions like Sally's are unlikely to occur.
Nevertheless, horses are available to anyone, and there are certainly many players who think and act in the same way as Sally.
"Ah"
"Oh, it's Sally. How's it going?
From the front came two people on horses. It is a Frederica and drag of the [Collective Holy Sword].
"Nh, well, I guess. I'm relaxing looking for a nice hunting ground. What about you?"
"Same feeling. I took down a lot of other fish, but it's a little..."
When Frederica looks at the drug, the drug expresses her feelings.
"The monsters of the last event were difficult to defeat, but this time they won't help."
Weak, isn't it?
That was what Maple and Sally were feeling. There is no doubt that the monsters from the previous event were made stronger, but subtracting them doesn't mean a lot of HP or attack patterns.
Well, I guess we can feel that too.
"Yeah, yeah, no. We're looking around for something to hide."
[Gathering the Holy Sword] has a large number of affiliates. If all Alliance members are out exploring and can't find anything, hidden elements can be considered.
"Yes, but I don't think we have enough information to replace it. This is true."
I guess I missed my guess. Frederica "
"It's about Sally and Maple, so I thought you might be looking for something."
"Then I'll call you when I find it! Hey, Sally."
"That's right. Ah, then, of course, exchange your information."
"Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you. I'm counting on you, okay? Bye bye"
"If anything happens again. And I'm looking forward to interpersonal fights."
"I can't lose!
"Oh, so are we."
Frederica waved a small hand to the two of them and went next to the drag to advance the horse, and after a while she was blind.
"It's information... but I don't have any particular clues."
"That's right. Well, why don't we change the destination for a bit?
…… Going to another level?
When Maple said so, Sally shook her head sideways. Even as I was running around the field, I didn't think anything would show up. If so, you may find something by exploring a location that can be described as a different category.
"Dungeons, why don't you go into the dungeons a few times?
"Ah, well, maybe something's changed!
"That's right. I might not know once, so I'll go in a few times."
Well then, it would be nice if we could just go to the boss.
"If it doesn't look like anything, it feels like we're going back to finding sharks. We're just getting started, so let's start with getting to know everything."
"Mmm!
Maple and the others have already attacked several seven-tier dungeons. They chose something from which they could easily get to the boss and drove their horses towards the dungeon.
