Man of Dungeon

19: 55 June 1, 2014 (just before the start of Raid Event EX)

In Megijima, Kagawa, Shikoku region.

"Right here...?

Confirm the points that Tsukiwa Maru's Tsukiha appears on the map.

"Ahh...."

"Hah... I managed to make it..."

Sighs as if it were dripping.....

"It was quite a hard move...."

Shigesato murmured a little tired.

Although the distance from Shimane to Kagawa was the shortest in terms of distance, the Tsukimaru team managed to catch up with several buses, take over, and run all the way between bus stops in time.

and.....

"Hey, that..."

"Nh...?

Chiyu hits Tsukiha on the back.

"Oh, it's been a while."

"Hmm!?

A red-haired man who seems to have arrived earlier talks to the TsukiMaru team.

"Why are you here!? It might be wild to say..."

Tsukiha talks to the four of them in a knight-like figure inspired by the suit he was wearing.

"Well, that's right. I can't let you miss the strong enemies in front of you as a party aiming for the strongest."

One of the four, a red-haired man, Sen, answers.

"That's not a good reason, but it makes sense."

Even so, Tsukiha checks the surroundings.

And no one but them was seen around.

"The others left it out first."

……

"Isn't that more convenient for you?

"... well, yeah."

"Um, um, are they...?

Shigesato checks next to Tsukiha and Sen talking.

"Starry Knights people"

Chiyu responds.

"Ah... I do recognize you..."

"Nh... you're over there... maybe... Shigesato?

On the contrary, Sen notices Shigesato.

"Ah... thank you, nice to meet you..."

"Next to Angra Knight, the mysterious player... isn't it lucky to see Shigesato? Have you met Tsukiha and the others?"

"Well, you're jealous, right?

"Haha, don't tell me... what are you going to do? From now on."

Huh?

"Fight?

"Ha!? What are you talking about!?

"You didn't mean to fight together, did you?

"Nh...!

Tsukiha honestly thought that would happen.

"If we lose to monsters called demons, people will get hurt! This isn't a good time to hang out!

"It's for your convenience, it doesn't matter to us."

"Hmm!?

"It's only natural that you want to challenge your strongest enemies as one party, rather than aim for the strongest party, right?

"Eh...."

Tsukiha is stuck in words for a moment.

But....

"Hey, you guys think so, but in fact, we don't have time to fight anymore!

The Tsukimaru team arrived five minutes before the start of the event, and three minutes had already passed since the conversation.

"... sure."

"You don't have to fight together. However, we will only face the threat before us. You can do whatever you want. Even if you don't want to protect people, you don't want people to get hurt, right? Then don't just bother me.

"... I see... then I'm going to have to compete to see which one can be more effective..."

"Do what you want!

◇

"Now, will demons come out or snakes come out..."

Sen groans.

A few people think, "No, it's a demon," but they don't say it.

June 1, 2043 at 20: 00...

The area turns into a terrible rocky area.

At the same time, Lygeki, who was secretly there, disappeared.

I knew it was impossible... Tsukiha confirmed it.

Because there was a special rule in this fight that only monsters related to dogs, monkeys, and monkeys could be used.

"... that?

However, despite these changes, no key enemy monsters appear.

"Tsukiha!

What?

Chiyu screamed and noticed.

Heavy red lumps approached from behind.

"Nh...! Magic: Repulse!

"... oh...?

Tsukiha activates a magical ”Repulse” that generates repulsive force against the subject at a super-human reaction rate, after which he retreats the enemy's first shot, the powerful Lariat.

"Such a savage boss....."

"Ohh!"

With long red and white hair on her red skin and a three-meter giant body that looks exactly like a demon, she smiles as if the word "barbarity" exposed from Tsukiha is a "compliment”.

But for a moment. When the demon grabbed a giant rock with a diameter of 1.5 meters in the vicinity, it became a swinging pose and threw it like a ball.

"Nh...!

The target was Starry Knights' elephant.

"Uh-oh...!

The elephant aggressively shields against the rock.

However, despite being well shielded, the HP gauge was cut by about 1/6 and knocked back even larger.

Those who were there understood the weight of the blow when they saw such a sight of Gen Elephant, a high ranking knight like Utah.

"Ohh...."

For a moment, the attention of the players is directed towards the elephant. In the meantime, the demon grabs the next rock (ball).

[Skill: Demon Catapult]

"......!?

More pop-ups will occur.

Then, something like multiple iron devices appeared on the field of rock behind the demon.

"... Coming!

As Tsukiha imagined, rocks measuring one meter in diameter were projected one after the other from the device, indiscriminately attacking the players.

In view of the effect on the elephant earlier, most players choose Evade, not Defense.

Keep as far away from demons as possible and avoid rocks as a matter of priority.

"The defense on the other hand doesn't suit me...!

However, among the players who are forced to defend themselves, only Knights Sen comes forward.

Strongly resistant to hits, Sen certainly had a lower risk of damage from a stone attack than other players.

"Ohh...."

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but the demon is targeting a ”player”.

[Skill: Unavoidable Rock]

Skill names pop up and simultaneously throw rocks with black effects.

"What?... don't move..."

Targeted women murmur.

"Shit... Lima...!

The target was Starry Knights magic night... Lima.

Lima also had several defenses, such as attribute reflection and anomaly defense, but, contrary to Sen, she did not have a countermeasure against a simple physical attack. And unfortunately, Starry Lima was temporarily isolated when Sen, who was in the center of Knights' formation, came forward.

"... no!"

In front of the imminent boulder, Lima could not do anything but inadvertently meditate.
