Log Horizon

◆ 05

"Yangtze Demon" (Daylight Shade) comes up from the earth like Kasumi.

As the name suggests, it was exactly like a pneumonia.

"Blame it!

Leonardo waves his proud fantasy double knife.

Assassin, an assassin who is not as good at duplicity as Swordsman (Swash), is a specialized piece of equipment with unique models and effects. The effect of this item causes additional Flame damage to all Leonardo attacks. This type of collateral effect is commonly referred to as "procedural activation capability" (Proc) and is commonly found in rare magical objects.

Leonardo rushes through a group of enemies while leaving its flaming trajectory in the sky.

"Assassin" is an attack specialist who deals the greatest single damage in all twelve occupations. However, several conditions must be fulfilled in order to deal extreme damage.

For example, that the enemy's consciousness is coming from itself.

Now, in this case, the avant-garde is Kanami and Elias. The two rely on light-water glowing effects to attract the monster's full attention. I guess there's also a character part to it, Elias standing grandly in the heart of "The Yangtze Devil" and Kanami cheering brightly and limping is plenty of force to attract the attention of the enemy.

The second condition is that you attack from the enemy's blind spot. This is achieved by circling behind the enemy and adding an attack from an alarmed angle. Fortunately, the Assassin has a wealth of skills to make it happen.

These two conditions are never difficult if you are committed to party play that is true to the basics. The formation (formation) that the avant-garde warrior position attracts enemies and the Leonardo turns behind them deals damage is the basic know-how of Elder Tail.

But the assassins have a lot of attack power.

If it did too much damage, the monster would change his goal by judging Leonardo behind it to be very dangerous than the avant-garde warrior position. Then Leonardo turns to the recipient, and it becomes a matter of just being damaged or not being able to use his proud offensive power.

Also, monsters who take heavy damage from behind don't have to go until they shift their attention to Leonardo, but they start paying more attention to their surroundings for a while. In other words, attacks from blind spots are less likely to work.

To prevent these loses, Leonardo ran on the battlefield.

Move yourself to increase the number of monsters that can attack. From that increased choice, focus on destroying monsters that are already damaged and able to stab the stomach, or those that are obsessed with attacking the avant-garde and showing gaps.

The attack from this series of moves was the answer given by Leonardo the Assassin after the Catastrophe.

Leonardo was not ashamed to be an abandoned class player, he was showing first-rate combat.

But what is clearly unusual from that Leonardo is Elias.

Of course, Elias is an ancient species.

I'm not an Adventurer.

It would be a mistake to say that it is normal or unusual in light of the common sense of the Leonards. But that doesn't mean Leonardo's feelings will subside.

"Symbol! Crystal Stream!! Spirit of fresh water, change its appearance to a thousand blades and shine! Aqua Southern Drain!!

Spirits of semi-material water emerge from a magic formation knitted around its body to respond to Elias's cry. A lady in a lake with flowing hair. Instead, Elias flashes the Devil's Sword made of crystals with the tearing mood.

An aura with the nature of "water" released from the tip of the sword turns countless droplets into needles and rips away the Yangtze demons.

Its power was such that the "Yangtze Devil" could not rise for a while, and above all it was broad in scope. At one hundred and twenty degrees forward, did I just say the range is ten meters? It was a non-standard offensive move.

Leonardo would not have been surprised if this had been an attack by the Sorcerer. They are experts in attacks alongside the Assassins, but also in ranged attacks. So it is only natural that the spell is powerful.

But Elias is not a sorcerer. Avant-garde with at least comparable or more defensive abilities than Kanami - that is, fighting like a warrior position. In addition, the bright water-colored conferring magic that protects everyone at the party is comparable to the performance of a recovery job.

This could combine the strengths of every position.

In short, it was a good strength.

(What the fuck!? These guys!!

Though in his heart he raised his voice of consternation, Leonardo slaughtered his enemies once again. The Assassin is a single attacker who focuses his damage. Elias' Range Attack is high performance, but he is complacent that he has not lost in the damage itself.

Leonardo waved the two swords at the speed of a flying swallow as he took the back of a "Yangtze demon" who was being blown away and temporarily stuck in a temporary stiffness in Elias's attack.

The Special Attack, Assassinate, has a 300-second reuse time. I can't use it for the time being. However, if a top-notch "Assassin" launches a targeted attack from behind his enemies, his Critical Rate exceeds 50%. Make up for Assassinate and stack up damage.

"I'm asking you to stop! Leonardo, hey!

"Knock it off, Nardo!

To the cheerful voice of Kanami, give me a break, Leonardo gets a headache.

"You can't bury an enemy with my sword moves, Fairy Sword (Fairy Arts)!

Elias started talking about things that didn't make sense.

"With the Fairy Clan engraved, the curse of Fairy Eye (Fairy Eye) is on the | Magic Transmission Circuit (Mana Circuit) in my body."

Leonardo, who initially thought Elias's dialogue was a rampage of translation functions, is convinced to see that look completely serious. This man named Elias is a setting maniac in Japan, a paranoid maniac of strength. Elias continues to speak even more elevated words that make his spine itch.

"As a result of the" Fairy Eye "curse, I won't let the monster stop me!

"Huh?"

Leonardo, the boulder, also stopped and looked back at the confession.

"So, please stop!

"Uh, Kellogg, Nardo? I mean, that's good. Areas is an ancient species, so you can't have less than a quarter of the monster's HP."

Such an idiot!? Leonardo is stunned for a moment, but reconsiders that he has no choice. If you think about it, Ancient Species is the NPC of the game. For that matter, it supports the player's gaming experience and is an uplifting role. I can't help but stand out for myself.

I'm guessing that's why there's a restriction imposed on Elias: 'You can't stab a monster in the stomach'.

I don't know if that's the restriction imposed on all [ancient species] or only on Elias, but as far as Elias' words were concerned, Leonardo felt that it wasn't the latter. Because Elias has added a unique setting called 'The Curse of the Eye of the Fairy' to rationalize that limitation. My head hurts, but I declare myself. Undeniable.

Either way, the work Leonardo does hasn't changed.

Leonardo waves a straight knife in his right hand as he sinks his body as it does, as he spends the hot air blowing from across. Now, without a heavy response, he cleaves his enemies.

Move to slip as you go. Add an attack.

It doesn't matter if your opponent tries to fall in Leonardo's attack or survive. Keep moving and adding a blow to the blind spot.

Leonardo, who buried the whole "Yang-Fire Devil," ran his gaze at Kanami with a look that even the bitter one bit him.

Elias is good.

He is an "ancient species" and holds a special profession not found in the "Adventurer" named "Swordsman" (Blade Mancer). So that bullshit ability had room for systemic convincing, even if not emotionally convincing.

But Kanami is different.

She is a clean 'adventurer', and the profession is familiar to Leonardo, saying 'militant' (monk). Even the level is ninety, equal to Leonardo.

Even if it is equipped, it is rare to install it and it does not look like it is made of luxury. At the very least, they don't look as powerful as the Fantasy (Assassin) Dedicated Double Blade (Twin Blade) Ninja Twin Flame or the Fantasy accessory Ciolo's Dark Walking Belt.

The weapon equipped with both hands is probably an eighty-nine level production-grade item, "Giant Killer's Cage Hand".

Its gear is not a blur, and although it seems well thought out and inquisitive, it is not comparable to a highlander. It's all to the point of "I tried to put it away as much as my property allowed."

"Yay! Go, go, go, go!

The canami rolls out a positive fist poke with a waist.

Step further from there and stick out your left, right and fist, eating your elbows and shoulder-to-shoulder body. Kanami danced through the universe as if gravity had disappeared, all with a magnificent tightening of collaboration, and stopped the "Yang-Fire Devil" from sewing into the earth with a kick leg stretched out like a single pile.

"The Yangtze Devil" remains, fades away pale and bright, and disappears.

Kanami's attack power was unusual.

"Elder Tail" experience is the only thing Leonardo understands. Indeed, the militants, as warriors, are highly capable of attacking. The number of coordinated attacks of the type that assemble fine blows and take damage is blinding. But even so, that amount of damage is only "expensive as a warrior".

The role of the warrior position lies in attracting and retaining enemy attacks in the avant-garde. In other words, the ability to anchor enemies and the ability to survive are the strengths of a warrior position.

"Martial Artists" have extremely low performance in reducing damage by armor, shields, etc., compared to "Guardian Warriors". Instead, he's the type of warrior who supports the front line with high dodging rates and abundant HP. It is said that several abilities suitable for solo action, coupled with a relatively high level of offense, are professions that are predisposed to Xuan people and suitable for solo play.

But you can't possibly have the same offensive power as the "assassin" in the offensive profession. That's the natural way to balance a game called Elder Tail.

(That's why...)

Something, Leonardo confirmed many times.

Currently, no damage to monsters has been visualized in the catastrophic world. But depending on how many seconds you defeat the same monster, you know the approximate attack power.

In total time, Kanami is about the same as Leonardo, or a shorter span than that, burying the Yangtze Devil.

Of course, with Assassinate, Leonardo would be able to bury the monster instantly. But for a moment, that's just one thing if it's the number of enemies. Kanami continues to maintain the damage that Leonardo can do with Assassinate just now.

(What's going on? I don't know why.)

Leonardo was going to panic.

Is Kanami the YOUKAI where the Orientals say he is? I even felt like Kanami, who only keeps cheerfully defeating his enemies, had suddenly become a creepy monster for Leonardo.

"Ah."

The canami suddenly looked across the battlefield like a big stretch.

"A blank occurs on the battlefield"

Soon Coppelia, approaching behind Leonardo, calls out. Coppelia is in recovery. It's not like the "ancient species" or the obsessed Oriental Fist Ghost (Mustatsu). Leonardo releases a vigilant gaze around him, but "The Yangtze Devil" seems to be peeking into the gap because of Areas' range attack and Leonardo, Kanami knocking him out as soon as the two of us have allowances or something.

Kanami, grasping the tenderness of the white horse who rushed in refreshingly there, offered his left hand and pulled up Coppelia.

"Let's go! These guys, they just get more beats and beats, even though it's not very funny."

Kanami took a sip of water from a soft-shaped water bottle he put out of his bag, distracting his throat.

"Wait!? What the hell is that? Huh. We are walking!!

Elias shouts like a scream. Leonardo nodded so many times that he was completely in agreement, but the reply only gave Kanami's playful smile against a blue, blue, ethereal background.

"No! East! (GO! East!)"

So the journey of four and one marked the beginning.

◆ 06

The wind across the wilderness was no longer cold enough to remind me of that in winter.

The word night in this wilderness does not mean darkness is full.

It is the meaning of the word night that the lost transparency of light fills the silence.

Such an expanse, as the blue of the universe has remained, has deeply and deeply shed its colour and lay on the earth, leads to hundreds of millions of starry skies if you look up.

It was a plateau aorsoy night.

The distant mountains teach only a few of their dark shadows in the form of the lack of starry skies.

What was illuminating the Leonards was an orange, patchy bonfire.

The fire, which Leonardo set ablaze, was hung with a brisk kettle, removed from the bag by Coppelia.

A steam called Shinsun, leaking from the kettle, is scattered in the cold wind of the plateau and quickly transported.

When Elias and Kanami finished putting up their tents, they found themselves in between the winds and came back. Kanami wraps his cloak of coarse, thick cloth around his body.

The Adventurer's body is sturdy, but I guess it just responds to the cold air at night. That's natural in fashion like showing a navel.

Coppelia still pours black liquid on the four scratchy brisket cups removed from the bag, with a careful hand. That was coffee with honey on tap.

"So, what do we do?"

Leonardo, with his mouth in a letter to, inquired into a line as he wore a thick tunic removed from the bag.

"What do you want me to do?

"What are we going to do now? That's the story."

"Like I said. Going to Japan."

In response to Leonardo's question, Kanami answered in a mild tone.

"You know what? When you say Japan, you have to cross the ocean to get there.

As a geek, Leonardo was more familiar with Japan than the average North American. Japan is a strange and cool country at the end of the world stuck on the eastern side of China.

We don't know where we are, but somewhere in the central northwest of the Eurasian continent, to say the least, there is a degree of recognition in Leonardo that it would be 'the upper right' of Iraq, where Iran is.

Travel from here to Japan. Besides, I couldn't believe it was without the Fairy Wheel.

"I'm fine. Hey?"

Kanami talks to Elias. Elias nodded with an eagle look, knowing or not.

"If you swim hard, you can cross."

Kanami said something unscrupulous holding the coffee with both hands.

Panicked by Leonardo's reprehensible gaze, she supplements her words.

"Look, I've been moving to Italy for a while. Good grandpa and grandpa will swim across the Dover Strait. The ocean? Straits, huh? There's no big difference between Japan and Taiwan. I can do it."

Really? Leonardo wonders, but he can't even give a clear denial. If I recall with a lot of knowledge, I do feel that Japan and where China went out were close, but will it work out so well?

"By and large, this world is the Half-Guire Project, half the distance. Besides the physical ability of the Adventurer. He said it couldn't be!

If you ask me that, it was Leonardo who came with that in mind.

Next door, I don't notice Coppelia shaking her head quietly left or right.

"... well, he said it was good to travel to Japan. What are we going to do until we get there? This is the middle of Eurasia. As the circumference of the Earth is 40,000 kilometers, 10,000 kilometers in a quarter of it. It's a half-guire, 5,000 kilometers."

Five hundred kilometers an hour. Ten hours.

"What kind of traveler, there's a sonic boom!

To the sighing Leonardo, Coppelia speaks quietly.

"If we proceed fifty kilometers a day, we will calculate it in a hundred days. It's okay, it's likely to arrive within six months, Mass."

That's true, if that's how you say it.

It was terrible in the ruins of Tekeli, but three of the four members are at ninety levels. The one remaining is Elias, which is exactly out of standard. Unless you're even caught up in some kind of event, if it's just a trip, just a wilderness trip, you can't say it's dangerous.

Whatever the time limit is, if we just move around, 'someday' we'll get there.

But, but.

That would be an anomaly for a modern man when it comes to his journey to see what he can afford and assume six months.

"What, you want to go to Japan so much? Kanami said he was Japanese, right? Is that why you want to go back to Japan?

"Well, I'm not saying it doesn't either."

Kanami glanced over the bonfire at Leonardo as he wrapped himself around his thick coat and smiled at the ladies.

"Don't you see? Shishi."

Even if they say that, Leonardo met Kanami for the first time today. There is no way to know what happened to Kanami.

When Leonardo shook his head in silence, Kanami began to speak in a quiet voice.

"This case -- there's got to be some cause, right? I want to know why."

Kanami's words were as honest as children's.

Leonardo gets his chest pounded by those innocent words.

If that's what they say, I'd say Leonardo. "Even I want to know," he said. But Leonardo couldn't say. I can't tell you, I've had my days to this day.

It was the Big Apple that Leonardo made hometown in Elder Tail. This city, imitating New York in the real world, was Leonardo's home, local and proud.

Terracotta and brick carnegie halls if the flowers of all seasons pass south through beautiful Central Park. In the Big Apple, it's not a concert hall, it's a sales office for Sissica Babb and Tacos, but it's a great place for Leonards and downtown residents to hang out.

Keep it up, 7th Ave. south, then head out to Times Square, the dirtiest intersection on the planet. New Yorkers don't panic in this crowd. My destination is input into my brain, so I can keep walking with the highest efficiency without worrying about others or anything else. You're the only one who opens half his mouth and looks up at the skyscraper.

Android stingy they head to be Chrysler or Diamond Row or the UN building, but in "Elder Tail," all of this is ruined and the root castle of the guild that tumbles into the Big Apple.

FAO Schwartz, Trinity Church, Radio City Music Hall. Each was used as the home of a prestigious large guild and boasted of its lovely appearance, even when it was about to collapse, in the blue skies of different worlds.

New York is the best city. That's no different on Earth or in this [Elder Tail] world. A megacity full of power and neighborly love that turned chaos upside down is New York City, where Leonardo's sieve is.

But the Catastrophe has changed everything.

On the border of that nightmare day, half the guild was forced to dissolve, and a further half of the remaining half transformed into a violent group dominated by tyrannical monsters.

The Alliance itself has no personality. Because it's just a name and it's just a system. In that confusion that grieves everyone, that's why the guild that serves an evil purpose was strong.

If we tolerate the act of taking away from the same Adventurer or from the more tolerable exploiter, we will benefit. Its guild could have survived if a power structure had been created over its interests and if only mechanisms had been created that could follow below with violence.

But the neutral guild to which many players belonged was weak. Individualism and fairness have been misaligned with the goal of survival in this world. Individualism, in other words, is only in one's own interest, and equity is an indicator for distributing the benefits. It didn't last a week, such as' Fairness', which isn't backed by great power.

It was devastated overnight, such as the Alliance, which is only the push of its real responsibility with solidarity and fairness among the participants. The players became suspicious and all they had to do was break up and go without saying anything.

Many players certainly did not intend to sue for violence, but in exactly the same way, they also did not intend to do anything for others. I mean, I was too selfish to think about myself.

For those players, guild was just a convenient place to use. It's just that the problem hasn't surfaced so far because [Elder Tail] was a game.

Some of them were peaceful guilds with the right philosophy.

But even such guilds never accepted unlimited players. Many players were shocked by the "catastrophe," which was all they could do to protect their safety and interests.

Guilds are essentially mutually supportive organizations.

A guild with so much hospitality that it nourishes' members who are not going to help each other 'never existed in the Big Apple.

(... it was a riot)

6.01 With the food riots and subsequent public lynchings, Big Apple was totally slaughtered. Leonardo had been hiding in the sewer for a long time, and a few of his willing companions left the Big Apple one after the other.

His favorite Big Apple seemed to have become a city of rejection and violence where masked individualists lived during a few blinks.

Finally, Leonardo decided to leave his hometown behind, and embarked on a journey to find a safe haven to spend some time in secrecy. If you're leaving Big Apple anyway, it doesn't matter if you're far away. By the "Circle of Fairies", which jumped in with that in mind, it was sent to the back of the earth without any other major miscalculation...

"I don't know what caused the catastrophe. I can't imagine that."

Leonardo shrugged, remembering his hometown. If there is a cause, it is decided I want to know. Because if that was understandable, I don't think everyone in my hometown would have panicked that far and lost their good sense.

But I could not speak of such a simple question. Because instincts were telling me that it was about getting involved in the mystery of this world. - For a citizen like myself to speak, he was unconsciously atrophied that it was a terrible question.

So Leonardo looked at Kanami's honesty with dazzling thoughts.

"There are not many feelings that this kind of noise is likely to cause. I don't know if it's the direct cause of this case, but I think it's suspicious."

To Kanami's words, Elias snorts one too.

The atmosphere showed that the two of them had already discussed the matter.

Leonardo admits there may be that.

But at the same time, it's nonsense.

The incident occurred on May 3rd. The planned date for lifting the ban on the expansion pack is May 4th (,,,).

In Elder Tail, the excess bandwidth in the game - the "margin" of communication speed - is used to download a little bit of extended content, even during play. Some of the computers of "Elder Tail" players around the world would have already slept with the expansion pack "Nouasphere Open", but it was only after that incident that it was lifted, starting the next day.

In other words, it is data that stays asleep.

It is true that due to the proximity of the date and time, there are suspicious points.

But more than the data is sleeping, there is no way to verify it. We don't have the means to look directly at computer data when we're captured inside the Elder Tail world.

"Well...... that's true, the expansion pack is suspicious. I understand that a catastrophe occurred just before the opening of the Nouazphere hit. It could be of some relevance. But that's why I'm gonna do it.... I'm not hitting the expansion pack right now. Anything that hasn't hit me, it's not a good time to investigate in this world."

To Leonardo's words, Kanami replied.

"So we're going to Japan!

"Why? I don't know."

"Japan is a country to the east."

"Huh...?

"Fourteen hours faster than New York - that is to say, to the only server in the world that is hit by" Opening the Nouathphere ", the Japanese server. - 'Cause then, at least, I think I have some clue."

◆ 07

Fourteen hours. That's, jet lag.

If it's an area east of New York, it'll be 'May 4th' sooner than New York.

Yes, "Opening the Nouathphere" will be introduced on May 4th. Leonardo raised his dismay at the arrival of that awareness.

"Is Japan introducing expansion packs?!?

"Yes, I am."

Leonardo was again surprised by the voice of a man like a cage.

When I glanced at Elias, he shook his neck left and right as surprised, too. It sure doesn't look like it's Elias. Elias has a deep, well-sounding, beautiful, youth-like voice that suits his sleek shape and sweet mask. It's for female fans up to their voices.

This is not the kind of voice that tends to cage.

Glancing at Coppelia for the attempt, she has stared back at Leonardo properly with dark herd blue eyes like polished turquoise. Whatever you think, it won't be Coppelia.

"Kanami. We were talking serious, so stop talking weird."

"Why do I have to keep my nose shut, Nardo?"

"Let me go. It's not Nardo. It's Leonardo."

"Original Respect."

"That's right. This frogsuit is a hero's...... Who is it?

What Leonardo saw, turning to the low voice he heard again, was a white horse.

"Ah. That was an earlier horse."

There's already something wrong with the horse talking, but the surprise squeezes like cold water hung in Kanami's smooth voice. I feel that it is ridiculous to work with each other.

"It must be Kanami's horse, right?

"No, I'm not. Didn't Nardo prepare you for the escape?

"No."

While answering, Leonardo said, "Well, Kanami rode a horse prepared by someone else with dignity, and he was going to run beside the horse!" I manage to put up with the scratch.

Horse-riding organisms, such as horses, that can generally be called on items, are used for mobility. From its use, calling takes a certain amount of time, not very much during combat, but I'm not willing to call it.

If you are a medium level "adventurer," you usually buy and possess a whistle to call a horse. If you're an abandoned Leonardo class, you even have a "Aquatic Horse" (Kelpy) summoning whistle you got in a massive battle, but such a white horse wasn't Leonardo's hobby.

"Mostly, why do white horses talk?"

"He is not a white horse. (Hakuta) Death. To the knowledge of Coppelia, the Holy Beast Death supposedly solves the humanities transmitted to China and is familiar with everything. The classification within Elder Tail is Fantasy Beast."

"Correct!"

"Oh. You speak because you solve humanities. So, he fell in love with me and came to help..."

"Incorrect!

White Horse - Kanami looks annoyed by the words of the phantom beast (Shirazawa).

"Why would a phantom beast show up in such a battle in the first place to help a militant's daughter? There's no way I have such an in-laws here. No motive."

"I don't know, I'll jump in when I see him. Because it sounds like fun."

To Kanami's words, it was now Leonardo's turn to frown.

When I glance at the side, Elias also has a tired look. Apparently, neither did Elias mean that he welcomed Kanami's character 100 percent.

"Hmm. I don't have any horse friends."

"Kanami became a militant. It's been two years. The account itself doesn't seem the same. How's life in England? Die of poor eel pie?

"Yes, yes. England really doesn't condone that. You used to say that breakfast is the only delicious thing in England. I've become a completely self-catering person in the last two years. But why isn't the food delicious, I think the UK is one thing now because of the water quality... Who's your horse?

"It's KR. Long time no see."

"Huh!?

Kanami's loud scream was sucked into a plateau night with nothing but wind. Upon being heard screaming up close, Elias mutters, "If you know me, introduce me," only praising the expression that should be beautifully shaped like a training monk. Leonardo secretly laughed when his beauty shapes were ruined.

"Uh, KR is..."

"I'll tell you myself. Instead of asking Kanami to introduce you, it'll be a little play."

"Terrible, KR."

Apparently, Kanami and this phantom beast are friends of the old knowledge.

"I am KR. This is the name, but it's Japanese. Kanami and I are friends from when she lived in Japan. She confused a certain group of players until two years ago as a leader."

"That's an annoying one."

I hear Leonardo's whispering scratch has been picked up with excellent hearing.

"It's not good. It was fun, and we were all good kids."

"Well, the leader of that playgroup was Kanami, and I was a member there."

"Right or right. KR helped Kanami like that every day."

"No, it was funny, riding my butt horse, making more noise."

(What about that statement, you horse?)

The likeness of a white horse approaching the flame, when he received a low grub, lowered his long neck and slid over to Coppelia. I have a third eye on that forehead, and abundant fur on my hind legs. It's a fantastic creature, similar to a white horse.

"Here! KR! What are you sexually harassing?"

"I didn't sexually harass you. This is communal power. Besides, I want some water myself, you can take care of it, okay?

It was a word directed at Kanami, but Leonardo took the water bottle out of his magic bag and got a little lost, but poured it into a deep dish. The phantom beast, called KR, begins drinking with thanks.

"Nevertheless, is Lord KR the Adventurer? - What does it look like?"

"It is possible that all Japanese servers have become animals as a result of the catastrophe, and now it seems like a safari park."

Kanami, who seemed somewhat happy, seemed to be flying a star in his eyes, but I wonder if Leonardo had such a reason.

Gradually, this woman named Kanami came to know.

Instead of putting up with the scratches, he turned to KR and asked.

"Mr. KR is a Summoner...?

"Correct. Hey, Kanami, you know what I mean? There's a smart man here, isn't there?

"Mmm! Is Kellogg Nardo smart? Cute. Smart on top. Hehe, I made a good purchase."

Leonardo stares in the sense of condemning Kanami's rude claims, but it never seemed to make sense. It's like KR's dialogue itself is saying "Kanami is an idiot" in the first place, but even Kanami doesn't seem to understand the dislike.

"Can the Summoner be an animal? I've heard that witchcraft of its kind lies in the secret moves of the fairy clan..."

"No, you wouldn't. This is probably Phantom Beast Possession."

To Leonardo's point, KR was not as low as if he agreed.

"Exactly. This is Phantom Beast Possession. I mean, this Shirazawa is my summoned phantom beast."

"So what's that" phantom beast possession "?

Leonardo starts explaining to Kanami like a little neck.

"Ah. The Phantom Beast Possession is one of the stunts the Summoner has. I don't know much about it either, but the Elder Tail era was supposed to be a spell that exchanged summons pets for manipulation."

In Elder Tail, the gimmick of summoning a service presence was not unusual. Of course, "Summoner" is the best authorisation when it comes to summoning, but if you don't even care about variations and abilities, most of the restoration and magic jobs can summon some kind of existence.

In typical terms, the "bugzrite" that recovery jobs remember in common is a spell that illuminates the surroundings, but this is technically a summoning spell. It summons a fluorescent phantom beast that emits light.

It is presumed that there are thousands of these diverse summoning stunts in the world, including those activated from items. Even veteran player Leonardo doesn't get the full story.

And there was a way to classify that myriad summoning stunts with a focus on "controllable or not".

The earlier Bugzlite, for example, once summoned, only has the ability to float near the operator and illuminate the surroundings until it is released or the effect time expires. It is impossible to exercise control and its application is unlikely.

On the other hand, there are also controllable summoning organisms.

For example, the subordinate summons of the Summoner. Called phantom beasts, such as Fire Lizard (Salamander), can carry out orders such as attack, defense, and movement by order of the operator. It's "controllable" by order of the operator.

In the game "Elder Tail", this control element was processed in the form of an "order" to the summoning organism.

But there are not many types of orders. Attack, defend, focus on recovery, move, follow me, stay on the spot and protect your surroundings - would that have been the extent? Even if the target subpoena had many attack stunts, the decision as to which of those stunts to use was left to the AI set in the subpoena. And the performance of this AI could not be said to be high.

In this situation, the Phantom Beast Possession used by the Summoner is a spell that allows full manipulation of the summoned creature.

The player's operating screen using "Phantom Beast Possession" switches to a viewpoint that looks like he or she is a Phantom Beast subject to a spell. Talent notation will belong to the phantom beast, and the stunts held by the phantom beast will be available for use in icon selection in the same way as when they were "Adventurers".

Of course, we don't have many phantom beasts, but we will be able to display equipment screens, even item screens, and we will be able to have conversations from the phantom beast's mouth.

As the stunt name suggests, it is possession of phantom beasts.

This Phantom Beast Possession is a spell with interesting properties, but it also had great disadvantages. The body that executed possession… In other words, the body of the [Summoner] himself, from the perspective of the possessed phantom beast, will now, on the contrary, be controlled by a simple order, like a summoning organism.

In short, it can also be said to be a spell that switches between the summoning organism and the way the operator controls it.

Generally speaking, the "Summoner", the "Adventurer", has a variety of stunts that are much more applied than the several types of stunts that the summoning creature possesses. It is also clear which is more important than the phantom beast in service or the summoner, the Adventurer.

In the meantime, this Phantom Beast Possession has a long chanting and disarming time. I can't tell you to quickly return to your original body in a pinch.

That's why this "Phantom Beast Possession" spell was treated as a "funny but story stunt" during the "Elder Tail" era.

"Ho ho. Ho ho!

Kanami, having heard Leonardo explain, is sneering. Not sleepy, he seems convinced, so Leonardo made it good.

"Well, KR doesn't have to be your horse."

"Naturally."

"So, Mr. KR, where are you, Death?

KR replies to Coppelia's adorable voice, which has remained silent until now.

"It's Japan. You bet. I never thought about that in the game days, but I hear this stunt works independently of distance."

"Hey, is the main unit okay? Phantom Beast Possession is a spell that won't protect the body!?

"Don't worry. Hard to find. Vacation in the woods with escort. I haven't been back in over two months."

"Right...... That's how you use it."

Come to think of it, that's a very good idea.

"Elder Tail" was a game, so the behavior was bound by the game's operating screen. But since the Catastrophe, freedom must have increased. I guess KR made good use of that to get his own safe house or an escort. Maybe a friend of KR's is taking care of KR's body.

As long as the problem of the main unit is solved, [Phantom Beast Possession] is a stunt with a wide range of applications.

"I don't care about this one. Indeed, Nouathphere has already been introduced on the Japanese server."

"Are you sure?

"Just. There are already a few adventurers on the Japanese server who have reached 91 levels."

- 91 level.

That was conclusive evidence.

Elder Tail has been around for almost two years and its cap level has been set at 90. It had been announced that the level cap increase would be implemented in the new expansion pack "Opening the Nouasphere".

"So, what's the new dungeon? Any new quests, monsters, or items? I mean, any tips that might solve this situation?

After asking him to scream, Leonardo was surprised by the sharpness of his tone. Oh, was I so hungry for information? Were you feeling unreasonable about the current situation?

Again, enough to be aware of that.

"I'll answer as far as I can. Yeah. Can I call you Leonardo?

"Absolutely. Call me whatever you want. So, what do you say?

Leonardo rises and walks over to the white phantom beast in the watchful eye of Kanami, Elias, and Coppelia. Under the star's shimmering wilderness night sky, an orange fireworks made a loud noise with the pattin.

"- I traveled to the continent possessed by this phantom beast in order to gather information. When it comes to domestic matters, even if you leave it alone, you will see and hear that you are a squad leader with glasses, so that's why you put so much emphasis on overseas. Landing on the Korean server, around from the Chinese server to the Russian server, going south and back to the Chinese server. Gone everywhere in two months."

……

"The world looks awful. Seriously, it's sneaky. Of course, there are people everywhere who try to keep order. But I've learned that a lot of people don't. Even in an area where the Adventurers don't plan anything wrong, even the Adventurers are desperate to finally survive. Many of the Earthlings are abandoned by the Adventurers, and the world is about to perish at an accelerating rate, vertically on their faces."

"-"

"I heard rumors. A lot. But no new quests, no new dungeons, I have no idea now. It's all a blur. Nobody knows for sure. A tiny bit of information is melting away into paranoia. There is no bulletin board or WIKI to discuss the strategy." Adventurer "is astonishingly no good. That was the two months I was stained. Half the time, the world is wide. I didn't think we'd be able to use it so much without WEB. To be clear, an 'adventurer' is no longer just a jerk. Modern people who don't have intelligence support don't do anything for you, do they?
