Man of Dungeon

13: 20 June 1, 2043

In Toono, Iwate, Tohoku region.

Gwaaaaaaaaaa

"Damn it....! Cut!!

Another hero lost his HP Gauge.

The battle, as rumored on the bulletin board, seemed to have no ”moribund rule” in place, meaning that all parties who were real fantasies-specific would die on the verge of death.

That is, when the HP gauge reached zero, it meant game over.

"Kekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...."

The monster, a monster with a merciless result, smiles at the mischievous players while watching.

Monsters named “river children” are close to the legacy of the river children and look creepy with green skin.

The river boy was about 1.5 meters long and attacked the players with his quick body, which was small as a boss monster.

"Damn it....! I can't win...!

The boss basically does not have evasive behavior authority, and this river child is no exception, but if his own behavior for the attack prevents the attack, it is not evasive.

……

A young man named Glow, who belongs to the Autonomous Forces P. Ower Ibaraki unit, is more nervous about the events in front of him.

Cut, now a game-over player, was a member of another division of P. Ower, but he was also somewhat acquainted.

Less than 20 minutes after the start of the raid event… several lives have already been lost, while the HP of one river child still shows only a slight decrease.

Glow thinks again. To be perfectly clear, I didn't want to go to such a dying place.

But perhaps most of the dozens of people here are.

Some people protect the town and the people who live there, others from a sense of purpose and justice... and some people are dragged by those people and cannot refuse...

Glow is also one of them.

Two days ago, P. Ower's policy was communicated, "Principles, going to the neighborhood, and protecting people." This policy allows members of each district to wait all the way to Tokhoku. Hidehiko, the leader of Glow's Ibaraki unit, will also make a decision to follow this policy.

Inside, many hoped that the boss would appear far away from where they were placed.

If so many wish, ”hit” will surely come to that person.

It's just that they're here now.

"Nh...!

However, when you actually see people dying in front of you, many people become immobile as their bodies think, and just being there becomes a physical state.

Not many players in Real Fantasy experience a fatal battle with a mortality rate of more than 10%.

"No, go!

Hidehiko, the leader of the Ibaraki army, inspires the members by seeing such a shameful surrounding.

Even if you want to go, several people with sadness cannot disobey the orders of their superiors at this time.

Glow also comes forward.

But that wasn't because the superiors ordered it. In such a situation, he had set himself a new goal.

I want to protect my friends.

"... glow"

A girl with glasses... she follows herself at all times and in all circumstances. That's what it is.

"Ann... behind me..."

"... yeah"

This situation is certainly not strange when it comes to game-over.

However, he had experienced 99% death at one time.

The situation was much ”better” than then, and in that sense his mental state was somewhat "better” than other members here now.

"Kekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...."

Until I heard that laugh in front of my eyes.

[Skill: Dish Splash]

Enemies' activated skill name pops on Glow's display.

It was the moment that the river children used their skills for the first time in this fight.

"Uhhhhhhhh!!

……

He screams out in fear.

The behavior that I chose behind my back was not a bad one.

He tackled to push down what he had to defend.

For his sake, the sharp flying gear that was thrown from the river children did not get hit by Glow and Ann, but passed over them, and doubled the body of Hydehiko who was behind them.

"Eh...."

"Hi, Hidehiko-san...."

Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Kekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk...."

Slightly delayed by Hidehiko's ruthless collapse, his HP gauge blows up.

"" Uhhhhhhhh!

It was enough to break the hearts of Hidehiko, who was the leader of the Ibaraki army and the hard-hearted players who were there at the end of the shock.

"Wait...!

Everyone tries to leave the scene scattered, except for some truly brave people or those who have completely stopped thinking and become incapable of moving.

"Kh...!

Neither of the two men, who had thrown their bodies near the river children, was eligible, and there was no time to flee physically.

"Glow...."

At the very least Glow covers Ann.

"Beautiful...."

Then, for some reason, the river children change their targets.

Aim at a woman who runs away, stare behind her, and approach at a fierce speed.

The woman was a member of the Ibaraki unit and was a shrimp who worked with her many times.

"Ah...! Run...!

When Glow is about to say that to his back, the skill name pops up on the menu again.

[Skill: Cover]

……

Someone saved her life...

That's when Glow thought so.

"It's dangerous....."

A man with a huge shield and spear broke in between the shrimp and the river children.

"Squeaky."

"Looks like you've done a lot of work for me, you river boy. Reflect on me a little...!

Ke?

"Skill... Tempest Thrust!!

"Keyaaaaaaaaaa!!

Unstoppable bursts burst into the river, and about three times the damage done to a dozen other river children was removed from the river's HP gauge.

"Nice! Uta...! And, guys, I'm sorry...! I'm late...!

A chestnut-haired knight-style woman who came a little late said such a thing.

A lot of people will have seen that good look before.

"Ah, thank you...."

The rescued shrimp thanked the man with the spear while being confused. And muttered in relief.

"You're here... Watercats..."
