Kono Sekai ga Game da to, Ore dake ga Shitte Iru

Chapter 213: Brave Men Who Might

"... Mm. After all, I, too, go."

On the wind-blown deck, an apple with a beak in his chest suggests so, no, he begs.

I shook my neck to the side with a bitter smile at those words I didn't know how many times.

What lies ahead of the apple is the door that leads to the power furnace.

And a robot who's the boss of Sky City.

The deck of the stern section is divided into two parts, just like a circular square with gaps and two side by side.

The inner circle has a door that leads us to the deepest part of the circle, and the boss of this dungeon.

Like Southern, it was an apple that I thought would show difficulty in the operation of going to the door without fighting the boss, but I was honestly convinced of the suggestion itself.

"... Amen, I'm home."

And that's what they say.

In short, they take precedence over whether I'm a true human being or not, if I'm not dangerous.

Should I say accommodating or vice versa, not bracing?

Anyway, I'm glad I got that far, but instead, I got in trouble telling them that I'm going with them this time.

But I can't admit that to a boulder.

"Sometimes it's dangerous if you follow me, but how do you get an apple over there?"

"... with skills, combos,"

"You can't activate in the air with a combination of mobility skills, and you're not flying long enough in the first place."

Indeed, Ringo was able to use Skill Cancellation in his pre-Demon King's War special training.

It's just not possible to cross over then.

There's a lot of distance between this deck and the other deck, so we're supposed to need to activate this trick and bridge it.

If you want to go over there without using a bridge, there is very little enough about a step-high step shrinkage mobility skill combo.

Besides...

"No matter how well the apple can use the combo, 'you shouldn't use your offensive skills' anywhere near him.

Unfortunately, we can't get there without Tenma's shoes. "

- Showdown Person-type Showdown Weapon - Barnis V.

That's the name of the robot that's the boss of this sky city.

Whatever the scratch about why you put "duel" twice in your name, this guy's fighting ability is terribly high.

Though it's the flying gear that I don't have, it deforms into bird form (birdform) and penetrates me to enemies above and away from me, and while I'm on the move, it's made translucent by mysterious technology, and all the obstacles slip through and approaching this way.

That mysterious technique is also used in swords, which is against the rule because it is such a big sword that it slips through walls and does damage to players.

Because it is equipped with vernier, I can only say that it is troublesome to drop it from the sky city but come right back.

I can't shake it off no matter how, so in the end I'll just have to challenge melee, but I'll hunt down players with giants over those two meters, a variety of means of attack that I don't think are the enemy characters of cat ears and cats, and an incredible rate of reaction that seems to be the effect of the K.A.R.E. N device.

But above all, the reason why this Barnis V is feared lies in its overwhelming performance counter skills.

"Barnis V responds to three of the nearby" Attack Skills, "" Attack Magic, "and" Attack Items, "shooting overspeed counter attacks."

"... cow, nther?

I was really surprised the first time.

In the meantime, the moment I took the distance there and used the horizontal giraffe with the intention of doing a small hand check, I said, "Don't use your skills!" If I thought I could see the trajectory of instantaneous movement, slashing, to the present, "the next moment I was over the game.

"What? Game, over? That means he's dead, right?

I nodded to Suthern with a pompous face.

"Oh, I'm telling you, I had a higher defense and higher HP than I do now."

It killed him instantly with a single blow.

Needless to say what would happen if I were you now.

Probably, but even apples would die instantly.

Mitsuki if it's the only chance of survival, but I think it's hopeless too.

"So, but if you avoid it with your skill combo..."

"That would be difficult, too."

The next time I ran into him, I thought I shouldn't have launched an attack, so I first tried to see how things were going with the divine speed cancellation move.

But the result was the same as the first time.

Divine Speed Cancel Move is a combination of steps and a short slash cancellation.

Well, in my case, I use horizontal giraffes instead of slashes, but you can think of them as the same in principle.

Because the activation condition of the counter was "use of attack skills", the counter was determined in response to the slash sandwiched between them, but it is worth noting here that even the speed of the divine speed cancellation movement did not escape.

Although there are fine differences, the short cancellation of an attack skill generally means "moving to the next skill before a damage determination or slashing motion is activated," which, in slash terms, feels already derived into the step in the next moment when the weapon is wielded.

In other words, it's only been a few seconds before we've moved from thrash activation to step.

But Barnis V's counter would have truncated me in just a few moments, activating a slash all over the shape to connect with the step, instantly canceling and moving in the step.

Unlike me in this world at that time, even though I hadn't tripled my speed, it's the activation speed to the horror.

Well, I can still say it's heartfelt to only react to attack skills and attack magic and not counter to movement skills and healing magic......

Oh, by the way, I was a basic solo, so I haven't tried it, but they're going to counter attack as well as the players, even if their buddies use offensive skills and magic.

"So you're saying we just have to take them down without skill or magic?

I shook my head to the side of Southern, who seemed frightened.

"No, Barnis V is so strong without a counter.

At least I've never heard of him beating him in an unskilled melee. "

"Oh no..."

Southern with a dark enough look to even see over the mask and an apple grabbing my arm to worry about.

I hastily added.

"Oh, it's not like there's no way to take it down. In fact, I've only beaten him once."

Barnis V, which seemed completely indispensable, but for better or worse, the cat ear cat staff couldn't have done such a perfect job.

Barnis V's only weakness is before he enters a combat posture.

Only the behavioral pattern here seems to have been clueless by the cat ear cat staff, which has a lot of gaps to go into.

Specifically, when you are attacked from out of sight, you first look in the direction in which you were attacked, and once again return to the initial state when you were alert for a while and were unable to confirm the enemy.

So when Barnis V turns his back, he feeds off the attack from afar and hides gently in the wall.

While Barnis V is on alert and looking around, he can continue to hide for a long time and unilaterally win by attacking from behind again where his alert has been lifted.

Nevertheless, it takes more than three minutes to do a bad job, from one attack to another.

Even before entering a combat posture, using attack skills and magic from close range will relentlessly roll out the counter, and even if not, if the time to hide in the wall is delayed or you face off the wall when you're not turning your back, it's out immediately.

If you ever find out and you're in a combat position, that's it.

I will never go back to normal again, and as long as the players and their mates are in the sky city, they will use transparency to chase me everywhere and everywhere.

I've actually been found and killed many times, and I'm not joking about doing that bad imitation of my heart with my life at stake.

But that's why this operation is here.

"Actually, Barnis V had another flaw before he got into combat.

I'm roaming around like I'm patrolling the other deck, but it's only in the horizontal direction that I'm on guard.

We can't find anyone who's taller than a certain height. "

Make a brighter face than ever, as I say to the apples who still seem anxious.

"That's where these Tenma shoes come out. I told you I could activate my skills in the air.

So with jump-like skills, you can do really interesting things. "

In the first place, jumping is a skill that moves in the opposite direction to the ground when you're on the ground.

That's what happens when the constraint of the ground is gone.

- The answer is three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, a leap towards all directions.

Furthermore, the jump-based skills are so easy to connect that they are frequently used to cancel attack skills that the condition that they cannot be activated without being on the ground has been removed, which further widened.

What a jump and high jump connect, so you can move freely through the air by simply repeating the jump and high jump.

Compared to pure mobility skills such as steps on boulders, it is inferior in speed and distance, and it is difficult to adjust the direction of travel well until you get used to it, but once you have mastered the movement, you can show small turns and mobility that do not allow other follow-ups in the air.

"Besides, if I move the power reactor, I'll be able to use the bridge on this ship.

So if you manipulate the terminal, you can stop not only the miscellaneous fish, but also the barrnis V and the turret on the outer wall.

Overall, I think that's the safest way. "

When I said it like a waste, the apple let go of my arm after a long tour.

"It's been a long time since you've flown with this."

I was dropped off by an apple who looked at me worryingly until the end and by a Southern who said softly, "Oh, well... be careful," and I jumped off the deck.

By the end of the jump journey, predict the timing and connect to the high jump to earn more distance.

"This is going to work out."

When I said it, I didn't say it because it seemed to make the apple anxious again, but this is the first time I've used a jump and high jump combo at triple speed.

I was wondering what I would do if I failed, but so far it doesn't seem like a problem.

But I can't let it distract me.

If you fail to cancel your skills even once and fall to the altitude captured by Barnis V, you are likely to be killed.

No, that's not all.

Since the state of battle of Barnis V will never be solved, if I get hit, the next thing I know, it will be Apple and Suthern.

When I first arrived in this sky city, I thought I could escape whenever I jumped using falling damage mitigation magic appropriately, but the cat ears and cat staff weren't so sweet.

If you travel outside the sky city outside of a mobile device like a chavon ball, you will be attacked by a turret mounted on the outer wall.

Me or the apple might not be able to deal with it critically, but I wouldn't be able to stand a Southern who doesn't have the skills to use it in the air and has a paper physical defense.

Perhaps it is a measure to assume a shortcut in the exploration of a sky city or if you have flown through the sky with your skills from below, but what a thought.

And the escape device, the only means of safely moving to the ground, cannot move without starting the power furnace.

I told the apples where it was just in case, but to use it, it sucks, but I have to get to the power reactor.

"Really, you're responsible, all the time!

Crushing the solitaire, he tries to rhythm with it and connects his skills with a constant tempo.

Try not to look down as far as you can, just look to your destination and move on.

There were occasions when it was a bit of a hitch, but the jump combo is not the more challenging one.

It was when I took a breath that I could afford a little bit, and now I wonder if about 70% of them had come.

"- Soma!!

Cut the air, apple screams.

Something happened, I looked down reflexively, and I was relieved.

A bright red mechanical doll that was just underneath.

I felt (...) eye to eye with Barnice V.

"Huh!"

I remember the instinctive danger, and I still force my body not to be free while my skills are activated.

Immediately after,

- Boon!

At the same time as the ominous wind-cut noise, something red passed me next to it, about a thin piece of skin, at a super high speed.

"Shit......!

No, it wasn't a thin piece of skin.

They cut off the string they were wearing, and my adventurer bag slips off my waist.

Reaching out reflexively, but the decision is slow for a moment, the bag falls on the deck and near the door.

"Become!"

It was not when the bag was distracted.

Something red that should have gone past the side - a Barnis V deformed into a bird shape, turning in the air, pointing his neck at this one.

"Shrink!

At a slight discretion, activate the shrinkage toward the rear, not the jump that was to be activated.

At the same time, a bright red aircraft that once again raises its glare.

A bright red bird passes right in front of me at a speed not three times normal.

- It's dangerous, it was.

According to the information gathered during the game age, the true value of the K.A.R.E.N. devices on board Barnis V lies in the improved reaction speed and the enhancement of the FCS-firearm control system.

Of course that should be a mere setting, but that setting was much reflected in Barnis V's behavior in the game.

This guy is exceptionally smart among cat ear cat combat AIs, and even skilled cat ear cat players are at a tongue-wrapping level, especially regarding enemy behavior predictions.

Earlier bird-shaped advances are also being made with further corrections from time to time after reading this travel prediction point.

If you keep moving forward, whether or not you escaped even on shrinkage.

I sweat inside, but activate the jump toward the bottom (...) and hurry to the ground.

Thanks to the jump, we have increased mobility in the air, but not enough to deal with bird morphology.

Any more aerial battles will kill you.

That's what I decided. I rushed down to the ground.

Then, Gashun, make a noise with Gashun, and in an instant Barnis V, which was in bird form, returns to the human form.

Now you no longer have to be wary of birdform speeds, but you can't say the situation is good for flattery.

(... damn. Though something like that, this is a bad position to go down)

I, Barnis V, Adventurer's Bag, the door leading to the deepest part, stand.

Now if you don't turn on Barnis V, you won't be able to take the bag or get to the door.

The same goes for the door, but it hurt plain to drop the bag.

I also put some emergency potions in the pouch, but I am dissatisfied with the amount.

Furthermore, even considering the measures to combat evil gods, the bag had to be definitely recovered, making it harder to take the option of escape.

(No, I can't help but regret the past. Evacuate the apples first...)

I looked back to give instructions, and I was gnawed.

The apple is pointing its palm towards Valdez V, and Kuma is going to throw it even now, wielding the Vajra thoroughfare.

Suthern was awfully upset, but is about to start a spell chant after seeing how the apple is doing.

"Fool, don't shoot!! If I shoot him, his target will move that way!

If that happens, I won't be able to handle it!

The lack of leeway comes out on the table as an absurdity of discourse.

Suthern froze in that strong tone, Kuma also lowered his vajra thoroughness, but Ringo did not lower his hand as to what he was thinking.

"Southern! Take the apple to the escape device!

I scream backwards as I monitor Barnis V. on the side.

"Ugh, uh..."

But Suthern doesn't move.

It looks like we haven't solved the mess yet, but we can't even afford to wait for it.

"Hurry up, Southern!!

Shouting again, Suthern shook his body in dismay, but in the end he shook his neck to the side.

"No, you can't! Come on, can I leave you!

Oh, shit!

How could he be so manly only at times like this!

I want to shake my head, but I tell myself to calm down, calm down.

Either way, if I don't get to the power reactor, the apples don't have a way out.

Whether you're there or on an escape device, things aren't going to change.

While I remember once again the heavy pressure on the fact that three lives are at stake in my actions, I find Barnis V.

Its prestigious standing is exactly the brave man of the robotic world.

The trauma of this guy killing me dozens of times in me rises, and the fact that I've never been able to win a decent battle weighs the hand that holds the weapon.

Even with triple speed and muscle gain by seeds, I don't feel like I can win.

Originally I'm good at fighting with skills, but I'm not good at moving my body clearly.

I don't even think I can sneak a blow into this guy's attack without skill, and I don't know how many shots it takes to defeat this guy with an attack without skill correction.

Conversely, if this guy had the same offense as he did when he was in the game, he would easily kill me just for getting a decent attack in.

The more I think about it, the more desperate the difference in power, the more I bite my lips.

... but it's okay.

Nothing, they're not telling me to take this guy down.

Get this guy to start the power furnace.

That way all we have to do is get out of here.

It's dangerous, but if it's just me, you can jump down from the deck, or you can try to pull through walls in a mirage.

It's a bet if the mirage transfer is activated before his counter, but it means we can do it anyway.

Just calm down a little and check the terrain properly.

There is one large pillar on this deck.

No, it could be some kind of device in a spaceship, but I don't care.

If we manage to attract him and move him around that pillar all the way, the positional relationship should be reversed.

From there, do everything you can to get to the door. Put the fire in the power reactor anyway.

If we find out the power furnace's working, the apples will head for the escape device, too.

Or I want it to be.

The moment I did my gaze at Ringo only for a moment, Barnis V moved.

Motion to protrude a huge sword in your right hand.

"- Whoa!

Just a beat late, the moment I activate the step laterally, Barnis V's back erupts the fire.

No, I've been rolling out the poke with the vernier on the back fully open.

"Barnis Jett!!

Machine audio like a joke told me the name of the move and shock struck my body at the same time.

Moving sideways, I could barely dodge the Barnis V sword, but I can't avoid even that giant.

"What, ah!

It's like a shock jumped by a car.

I can't even afford to figure out what's going on with my body.

The sky and the ground alternate, temporarily losing sight.

When I shook my head and tried to wake up my face, what I saw in front of me was a huge sword and steel greatness that punched and discharged.

"Huh! High jump!

Stay in a fallen position and activate your skills.

And a moment late,

"Balniis victoriisraaaaash!!

A sword that emits so much light that it cannot be seen directly is waved down relentlessly.

A sword flash that draws the letter V with enough light to be visualized anymore.

One hair at a time, my body is forced to move like rubbing the ground.

I had managed to get out of the range of slaughter, but only the aftermath of my special sword would burn my skin into pieces.

"I'm not kidding."

That one would have died without Tenma's shoes.

Seeing the ground melted by terrible heat and spewing out smoke I couldn't get enough of, I was wary.

"Ah...?

At that time.

So unconstructively, a nuzzly square stick grew out of the mysterious smoke.

No, not a stick. This is Barnis V's left arm.

"- Huh!

I couldn't afford to sit back and relax.

From the tip of the shield attached to the left arm, a bump pile protrudes.

"Hey, name your moves!

Take a distance, with irrational rhetoric.

Fortunately, the range of piles stretched from the shield was no big deal.

Keep dressed and skilled, to the shadow of the pillar you had managed to stare at.

"Damn it! You can't use attack skills or magic..."

Put your back on the pillar, you're in bad shape.

Since most skill combos and KB cancellations would no longer be available, there was a significant drop in mobility as well as attack power.

"I get it..."

It pains me how much I relied on my skills.

I got my hands and feet, which may be too much, but there was an unpleasant smoothness, like the air around me suddenly became heavy and clumped together.

Especially in a situation where life depends on the lives of your people.

As I guard my left and right, I keep my back in the pillars and cool down my wavy mind.

To the rest of the time, the thought of running behind the brain was not the solution to the present predicament… but the beginning of things.

(How did he find me up there?

I never found a player at that height in the game, it should be, but was it a mistake of memory?

"... more"

If anything changes, it's a bad bug gamer for you to think about that karaki right away.

Anyway, after everything has managed to cut through here.

I rethink that, the moment I put my back away from the wall,

"... to?

The light ran over my shoulder.

No, the moment I realized it wasn't light, it was a polished blade, I was rolling forward to hang on.

"Now..."

If I hadn't woken up my body by chance earlier, that blade would have pierced my neck.

The heart rumbles out, as it is now, to the danger of death, which has rolled too close and too unconstitutional.

I could no longer even afford to use my skills, and looking back at them unnecessarily at a distance, the pillar from which I kept my back, from which the sword was growing.

No, it's not just the sword.

Born out of the pillars, the sword emerges, the right arm of the machine, the brave steel form, one after the other.

"Hey, hey. You used transparency to attack from the wall.

Behavior like this, when it comes to games...... no!

A flash that suddenly runs behind your brain.

In this situation, I was screaming out of the blue.

"A K.A.R.E. N device!

Even in this world, the monster's behavior pattern was not significantly different from that of the game, but the NPC, or human character, had evolved to such an extent that it was incomparable with the monster.

And this Barnis V uses the biobrain for its AI.

It is possible that they were simply specially treated by cat ear and cat staff to form a special AI, or that their intelligence could have improved by taking the device into account when realizing it.

"... ha. Is this the guy with the importance of flavored text? Don't take care of yourself if you miss it."

Try crushing yourself, things won't change.

The teasing sound of Gashan, Gashan, sounds like the footsteps of an executioner.

(... what do we do? What am I supposed to do?

The situation deteriorated even further.

I was cornered on the edge of the deck and the door was getting farther and farther away.

Besides, given their high level of intelligence, I don't think they'll miss the gap that they would be able to make when opening the door or starting the power furnace, even if they go through here at the end of the line well.

- Octagonal blockage.

Such a word turns my head.

No matter how spare it may seem, just a few mistakes, a few irregulars can easily lead to death.

I was going to understand the harshness and danger of such a cat ear cat best, but the preparation was sweet.

When I can't move to Barnis V, who's going to twitch like a snub,

"... soma"

I heard a cool voice, completely out of consciousness, from my back side.

Unexpectedly, I forgot to be alert to Barnice and looked back indefensibly.

There is an apple there with the exact same attitude as earlier, palms towards Barnis V......

"... as soon as I'm ready."

The clear voice was clearly heard, even on the wind-blown deck, for some reason.

Still, it took just a little time for the brain to understand what that meant.

Why didn't the apple turn its hand on Barnis V from the start and move at all?

Even if an apple shoots a thunderbolt, you can't defeat Barnis V to that extent, and on the contrary, the target just moves to the apple, of...

- That's all I thought about, my spine trembled.

From the beginning, was that what it was all about?

Apples don't think they can defeat Barnis V from the start.

It's just that I'm going to get his attention.

To get me to the power reactor.

But it's impotent.

I can use a triple speed and skill combo. Even I'm not out of judgment, but I can't possibly do that to an apple.

"No!

Screams as impulses, but apples don't put their hands down.

On the contrary, look at Barnis V with ready eyes......

You can't let me do that!

Here's another one or eight, with attack skills......

-Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

It was at that moment that my feet made a creepy beep.

"Behold! This is...!

Something huge made (...) sound.

I see Barnis V reflexively.

Is this unexpected for him as well, Barnis V was stopping that giant from moving, as though confused.

When I look behind my back, I embrace the apple that was about to shoot the thunderbolt earlier, and I don't know what to do.

"What the fuck! Now what the fuck?!

A tearful Southern screams, but I know what happened to me.

It's definitely because it's something I've been through before.

- Somebody started the power reactor.

But who is it?

All my people should be downstairs, on the ground.

Was there a character in this sky city who was intelligent enough to move a power furnace?

No, the possibility is...

I desperately patronize my thoughts, but the time ran out came so fast.

- Kiki.

I give a face to the noise.

When you look, you open your mouth wide and roll in the Adventurer's Bag, further behind it.

The door leading up to the deepest part I was aiming for was slowly opening from the inside.

It emerged from it as everyone, including Barnis V, watched......

".................. Huh?

Only one ear was unusually attached with a flashy floral cloth, a stuffed animal that looked familiar to me.
