Mob, if I were a high school student, could I be an adventurer, too, Leah?
Episode Twelve: Hazards and Blessings Are Like Strangled Ropes
"Shit...... seriously, it was a case. Wasn't it just the f-rank labyrinth?
When I found out this raid was at people's hands, it was a conversation with Anna that was past my head.
If something is happening that cannot happen naturally, then that factor is external......
When Anna said that and indicated the possibility of a case, the truth is, I was half-hearted.
Continuing crime by deceiving labyrinth management gates and dungeon mart surveillance cameras is because the hurdles are too high.
That's enough to think that if you had that kind of technology, you'd have other better earnings.
But there is no longer room for doubt than it actually exists in front of us in this way.
I don't know how, but this raider has some means of erasing traces of his crime.
From what I've seen, he doesn't look like a master, but he probably manipulates it remotely using a link.
Links that allow remote manipulation of cards were thus also abused to raid other adventurers under the guise of labyrinth monsters.
This is why the technology called Link is generally hidden.
The technique of linking was too convenient in the labyrinth.
I don't make it a qualification system, etc., because I can wear it on my own one day if I improve my card proficiency, so I prioritized preventing the spread of knowledge over it...
Most importantly, if only other adventurers are sacrificed while certain people are diving, they will soon have access to police and guild investigations.
And when the investigation is in hand, the stuffing is finalized for the criminals. Because there are also things in monsters and demon props that allow you to read your mind.
Therefore, he was alarmed that there were practically no raids in the labyrinth…
".................. ugh"
Unlike the secure Moncolo, the heart begins to carve heartbeat at an unpleasant rate to the genuine malice that makes the skin tingle.
I grabbed my faintly trembling fingertips and breathed deeply. It's okay, the enemy has three C-rank cards, of which the hell is handy. In contrast, this one has one B- and one C-rank, and four D-ranks. You have enough to win. There were also unused Lycanslope cards, if at all.
"Lianhua, Eliza... I'll use sync to clean up two intact bodies at once first. Yuki, Meir, Suzuka, and Dragonette stab me in the hand Lycanslope A. I'm sorry, but I can't afford to command that way. I think I can solve any state anomalies, so be careful. '
Copy that!
The glued battlefield moves out again, signaling that the D-rank group has launched an attack.
The first to move was the werewolf who appeared on the second body...... Lycanslope B. The target of the attack is Eliza. Lianhua is against the universe, so I guess it was one substantial option for Lycanslope, who specializes in melee combat. It hits me with a silver hook claw that I have on both arms. Hiding it, the third werewolf... disappeared as Lycanslope C dissolved in the darkness.
While he wanted to tongue that he was also an Assassin type...... now he decided to give priority to dealing with Lycanslope B.
Eliza's body, damaged by silver weapons, is still under dull pain. Is it the strength of the undead system that still seems unimpeded in the fight itself? Keep the sync only for the opening of your fighting power, as you can pull your legs if you put your will on poorly.
Vampires and werewolves. Two monsters with similar heirlooms, while vampires are magically assigned abilities as well, Lycanslope has abilities for closer proximity.
There was a nearly double difference from his physique, and Lycanslope B used his upper back to hit his rigid arm from the upper level.
The move was clearly more compact than the wild Lycanthrope, which has fought many times before, and it was obvious that there was a martial arts savvy.
When this happens, Eliza is disadvantaged in terms of her physique and physical abilities, even though she also possesses martial arts skills.
Assuming there's a side to her winning, it's...
"Shh!"
Eliza's palm hand, who exhaled briefly, bounces her rigid arm from side to side. The movement was unparalleled and its timing seemed as if the future was in sight.
... the advantageous aspect of Eliza, it is the precision and intuition of the movement. Her precision motion and intuition skills give her one-tempo faster behavior and accuracy than her enemies who outperform her physical abilities.
The werewolf, who was bounced off his arm, turned to another attack without moving slightly.
indiscriminate. A fast enough offense to no longer be followed by the human eye. Wolves attacking with their physique and physical abilities and vampires preventing them with the accuracy and intuition of their movements. The first of the two antagonists collapsed... was the handy Eliza.
Eliza's body, which prevented the werewolf from striking, leans slightly. Just a little, not enough stomping. The werewolf didn't miss that gap.
A silver flash runs. A blow that is faster than power and prioritizes hitting it with certainty.
That cut about three fingers off Eliza's left hand - a meteor blow pierced the werewolf's body.
It was a gap in the moment when the werewolf that was after Eliza's gap attacked, a sniper by Lianhua that was after it.
The light of the stardust of the Sanjo slit the right foot and left arm of the werewolf and the right eye of the werewolf who managed to attack his head into a bump.
Finally the balance leaned this way.
The moment I thought that, the darkness behind me swelled up and hit me.
The third werewolf who was hiding. It was the same enemy who was after the gaps in prey.
A werewolf appeared to melt out of the dark night and sifted through my hook and toenails without mutilating my body.
Human movements are too dull compared to monsters, even though they manage to twist themselves together.
- But.
'I could read it...!
Zuluri, and a werewolf's rigid arm passes my overhead sleigh that slipped my leg.
Too much could be done to call it a coincidence. That was, of course, due to the blessing of the goddess of good fortune.
An instant gap born in Lycanslope C, which was struck by a special blow.
That's when Lianhua tried to poke him.
"Caaah!?
"Gahhhhhh!
"Suzuka!? Dragonet! '
Through the link, I get a look at the D-rank card set.
Looking at you, there was a look at Suzuka and Dragonette, who bore a deep hand close to a fatal wound. Suzuka has been severed large in the chest and eaten off a single wing leading up to the dragonet.
It was a D-rank card set that was still taking advantage of the number difference after the Lycanslope's state anomaly ran out to favor the battle, but it seemed to have received a painful counterattack where it was hunted down to death.
Soon Yuki and Meir will stab the stop, but Suzuka and Dragonette will probably lose it if they don't put it back on their cards now or get healing magic. Especially if you're a dragonet, you don't have a name, so you can't take it back. Yuki and Meir are also quite scratched, though not as good as two.
... What to do, use Amrita's rain?
No, that's a trump card that can only be used once. I want to keep it warm just in case. D-rank cards aren't much of a force for enemies at this level, and let's just say here we put Suzuka and Dragonette back on the cards.
"Well done! Suzuka and Dragonet go back!
'Sorry! We're retreating one foot away!
'Cause I said hey!?' Cause I told you to go home properly!
"Ugh!? I know! It was my mistake! I'll apologize later, so get back now!
Yelling at a sticky bell deer even at a time like this, I put the two back on my card.
"I'm sorry Yuki and Meir, but I need you to join the Lotus Hua followers!
'Okay!
"Copy that! Leave it to me!
All right, now we have two of the rest. Besides, one of them is handy. If things continue to go well...
'Huh...!?
- I can win.
The moment I had such expectations, it was smashed to pieces.
Strong amazement and impatience coming from Lianhua.
What was ahead of her gaze...... it was a new enemy figure.
human flesh with musculoskeletal lumps and a deformity with a black dog's head. The back length was about two metres and not as large as the scabbard in the monster, but the intimidation it emitted was not the ratio of the lycanthrope.
The atmosphere, which at first glance could be seen to be superior, was also similar to that of Lianhua, a god somewhere, where it came to the identity of the enemy.
- - B-rank card, Anubis. He was the god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology. Beside him, he's samurai three more garms.
"Ku......!
An unconsciously pitiful sound leaked out of my throat.
What the fuck!!!! also OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I'm not kidding! Why are you giving me a B-rank card here?
I have a B-rank card and it's so sexy!!
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!!
Despair and anger spread all over your body like poison. Long time no see, my legs are seriously shaking. The force doesn't come in well. I was feeling a real feeling of death.
Can you win? The enemy has one B rank and five C ranks. This is one B rank and one C rank with two D ranks...... That and two unused C-ranks. Once and for all they are one another on the number......
Think calmly and draw conclusions. No. I can't win... There is too much difference in power.
Lianhua's spiritual regression is time-limited. Eliza is handy. D-rank group lacks combat power. The unused C-rank has no fighting power, and I don't know how user-friendly it is. In contrast, the enemy's power is unknown. There could have been further reinforcements.
We just have to run. But can you get away with it...?
"What are you gonna do, master?"
'... withdraw'
'How?
'Well, that's...'
There's only one way out of here. But I was hesitant to actually speak of it.
Lianhua stares at me like that quietly.
In that gaze, the words of a time came back to the back of my brain.
- For the Atasis, the name is proof that you can die as many times as you want for the master, right?
"... ugh!
I made up my mind.
... but. Oh... still... that's all I wanted to say.
"- Please stop at Lianhua, Eliza and Meir. I'm going to the gate with Yuki... no, I'm going to the safe zone. '
... that was the only way to survive.
There are two avenues to escape from here: a staircase to the top and a gate. But the gate is likely to be awaited by the enemy. Because if you think normally and your prey comes running, you'd be at the gate.
But we have a Harmelon whistle. It can only be used in a safe zone and has the disadvantage that it takes too long from use to activation, but if the enemy is netting on the gate, there were sprouts that could escape.
The question is, will the enemy forgive it so much?
Until I escaped safely, I really needed you to stop me here.
Even if it's the same as telling me to be a throwaway pawn, I just had to order it.
I look away from the awkwardness, but Lianhua and the others laugh niggardly.
"Jesus, Master. Take Care. '
"I can't help it...... please reward me later"
'I'll take care of it... oh, what did you say at a time like this? Sure... I got this place to go first, huh?
"Lianhua..." Idiot, that's a... death flag '
While I was saved by the thoughts of my buddies flowing through Link, I tried to call Lycanslope's card as a help at least.
This should fill some of the difference in power.
... but.
"That's not necessary."
Lotus Hua, who controls me with a strong gaze.
"But that's just three. Then..."
'Not necessarily without an enemy chase. Take that and put it down just in case.'
'Okay......'
I crossed over to Yuki when my vision was about to be distorted by the lotus huats that led me through this period.
'... let's go!
"Yes, Master!
"Hmm - let me go!
Anubis and I are going to get away.
Lianhua stood there and said:
"I won't let you through here. You can't die!
I synchronize deeply with Yuki and run straight to the safe zone as I hear intense combat noises from behind.
From here on out, there's nothing I can do. I just could see the Lianhuas struggle through the link.
The Lianhuas eat up with the collaboration of the Trinity against the Anubis side, which is hunted down by an overwhelming battle power difference.
While Meir interferes with the condition anomaly, a high-powered lotus hua knocks in a blow, and Eliza protects it.
However, against the Anubis side above in both number and quality, the Lotus side, which would be in distress if one could pull out, is gradually pushed......
'... oh, I knew I was... weak'
I couldn't wait to run out and the first one to sink was the only D-rank card, Meir.
No matter how lethal or how ready you are to die, the brutal reality of combat holds in front of you.
'But... I can't do it for free either!
Still......, still the little dreamer showed his will at the end.
"Aaaaaaaa! Lotus Huaaa!
Blood reflexes, roaring mea. At the same time, the cards on his chest emitted a slight light.
It's a glow when the card gets new skills.
I can't afford to confirm that, but I quickly figured out its efficacy.
'... oh, well done. Leave the rest to me, Atashi!
It envelops Lianhua with black temper. The skin is ugly and rotten, and the glossy hair turns into gray hair like an old woman.
Two-phase goddess… Another aspect of auspicious heaven, the goddess who directs misfortune and misfortune, turned to black dark heaven.
"- The End of the World Night"
Lianhua shrugged in a crouched voice like she had her throat crushed.
It is a unique skill in Black Dark Heaven, paired with [Amrita's Rain] in auspicious weather.
Black rain pours around Lianhua.
The garms and lycanthropes that bathed it stuffed and tormented. Heavy poison and sickness rain, that was who the black rain was.
"Crap! Something like this works for me!
However, Anubis, a B-rank monster and god of the Underworld, was not seen to be as effective as it was while worrying slightly about the state abnormality tolerance.
Plus, Lianhua must be small.
"Hence, from here... Meir"
"Death, right..."
Friendship Collaboration - "Curse People, Two Holes" x "The Night of the End of the World".
At that moment, the sound of pakings sounded on his chest.
The source of the sound is Mere's card. When I took it out, the illustration disappeared from Meir's card and the entire card was discolored to a sepia color.
That meant Meir lost and became a soul card.
But it is never a waste of time.
"Huh!? Gah!? '
Suddenly, blood erupts from the entire body of the Anubis. It was an odd wound as if Meir had returned the pain she had received to her opponent intact.
The intact Gulms couldn't handle it to the point of taking the deep hand, but the handy Lycanslope was enough damage to stop it. Even Anubis has a wound on him that is never shallow.
At the same time, the figure of Lianhua, who used up his power, returns to the usual figure of a sitting child.
"... have you noticed the pain of Atashi's best friend"
"B-Rank in the pseudo-minute!
Anubis, who rolled his anger at Lianhua with a niggardly and feisty grin, attacked him in unison.
"Meir......!
Eat up your teeth and stick hard to Yuki.
At the last moment, what came from Meir was remorse for herself for falling off first.
There was no shard of resentment against me for dumping her there and pawning her, just the feeling of worrying about my helplessness and my remaining companions.
That, on the contrary, tore my heart apart rather than being blamed and stuck.
'Master... I'm sorry. Please, be safe.'
Then a little, this time Eliza passed away.
Until the end, she continued to be the shield of Lotus Hua, losing her right arm, getting her chest choked, wind hole in her belly, losing a third of her head...... falling and lying on the ground with a more crippled body than when she was a ghoul.
But he who thinks his body is ugly will not be among us.
Because many of the wounds intolerable to that front were thoughts of her companions themselves.
"Eliza......!
Eliza's thoughts on the verge of losing burn her chest.
In her head at death, all that existed was about me and my people.
Will the master escape safely? Would I have earned some time? I'm sorry I couldn't protect Meir. Unable to protect Lianhua to the end, pathetic.
Her heart, which guides her about her companions more than her own, has been a bland thing that has changed nothing since she was a ghoul.
"Oh, shit......!
My people are dying.
The people who shaped me now, one, one more...
I should have withdrawn as soon as I found out this raid was by humans. That way, I might have lost some of the D-rank sets, but I'm sure they never would have been hunted down to such total annihilation.
No, in the first place, if I'd just gone home after hearing what Suzuka said then... If I had just become an adventurer, I would have decided to withdraw if I felt a little strange. That had completely lost prudence since the cards had grown and everything was going well.
Even if the smartphone breaks, it has nothing to do with fighting the Lord, or if other adventurers attack the labyrinth while you're home, the struggle so far is blistering...
As a result of being trapped in the immediate interests, we have lost our most important companions.
It was all due to a chronic mind that was growing up without knowing.
"Sorry... sorry..."
………………
Nor does Yuki say anything that usually comforts me at times like this. That was her loyalty, and now that was more than anything I appreciated.
And that's when I finally got to where the gate is.
"Song,......"
The third time, it rang.
That's the sound of my partner dying scolding me and supporting me during any hard times.
The only number of enemies left is Anubis.
The Lianhuas had even overshadowed the disadvantage of the number and quality of the five bodies, acting as a complete stepping stone.
Yet......
Growl up. An unspoken passion burned my chest and burst.
"Aaaaaaaa!!! Shit is haaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
- - I got to the safety zone in front of the stairs. The thing I saw, it was a new Anubis and two Garms.
Even if you eat up your teeth, you lose your strength from all over your body. Meir, Eliza, Lianhua......
Anubis has spoken to me over threatening yuki.
'... put that Coosie back on the card, dispose of all cards and magic props and put them on the ground. Including soul cards. "
"... what?
"Hurry up! Do you want to be killed?
My head cooled rapidly against Anubis, who was slapping me to death.
Demand for cards here......? Are you still saying it's just a robbery? Then why even Yuki and Soul Card?
I know you want to own a regular card. Because if you kill the master without letting him dispose of his ownership, the card will also disappear. But you understand that the card you named cannot give up ownership...
"... a named card can't give up ownership, can it?
'I don't care what you know. You just have to follow this one.'
"You just follow what you say and then they kill you..."
'Do as I say and I'll miss you. But I need you to use the stairs upstairs on your way home. "
"... what?
Leave all the cards and magic tricks behind and we'll miss it? On the way home? Then it ends up the same. Just get killed by monsters on the road...... Why don't you just finish it yourself?
"What are you doing this for? You're not just doing this to take the card, are you?
An adventurer with this many high ranking cards shouldn't have to dye his hands in crime until he takes someone else's card. There must be any other means of making money legally.
It was such an intentional inquiry, but I didn't expect you to return the answer.
Because criminals don't even have to bother talking about their motives for committing crimes.
Even if that's who you're going to die for...
'Huh... I just said I don't understand this noble aspiration. You misinterpret the power of cards as your own!
But contrary to expectations, Anubis answered this by letting even joy seep into his voice.
That even seemed like a breeze because they asked me what I didn't want to say.
... noble aspirations? Misunderstood the power of the card as your own?
The moment something starts chilling in my head.
'Come on, that'll be enough. Give me all your cards and your magic tricks. "
The thought was interrupted by Anubis, who began to kill again.
"... I'm not going to follow you unless you promise me you'll let me through the bottom gate"
Actually, I didn't mean to give you the Lotus Huaz cards even if they killed you, but that's what I said to find out how to get them out.
'Don't get on with it! At the loser's minute! Do you want to be killed here?
"It's the same thing... getting killed here, going up there alone and dying"
Why confine yourself to letting you leave all your cards behind?
I felt that if I could grasp it there, I could approach the identity of the enemy.
But my bad luck seemed to have touched the enemy's mind.
'... Enough, if you say so much, I'll kill you here as I want'
Lily, and Anubis' body moved, releasing a killer of completely different quality than earlier.
So far, huh? If this happens, I'll scratch you to the end.
"Okay. Pass the card......"
That's what I said, I put my hand in the nostalgia. That wasn't to give Anubis the card, it was to call the unused Lycanslopes.
You'll never win, but at least I'll let the hell out of Garm lose it.
Otherwise, I don't have a face to match the Lianhua and the others who stopped me.
……
and I felt unusual in my pocket at that time.
That card, about a turn larger than a monster card, was a 'wreck' magic card.
Speaking of which, did some of this happen? I completely forgot because I didn't even intend to use it.
In fact, 'wreck' magic cards and other things wouldn't do any good in this setting. Whatever. This is the bottom floor. I don't care if you use a 'wreck' card that randomly transfers to an unreached hierarchy........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Does that mean it's gonna be left on the spot for failure to activate?... or 'thrown out somewhere in the hierarchy you've already reached'?
That was an idea that usually never even crossed my mind. I'll try to use the 'Shipwreck' magic card where there's no other place I can transfer it, I can't believe it.
... but it was worth the bet.
Things won't get any worse anyway. Then you can bet everything on this card.
"What's up! Hurry up! '
Anubis yelling like he cut a numb. I didn't have time to get lost. I used the "Shipwreck" magic card.
"- Use 'Shipwreck'!
"Become!?
Me and Yuki's body shine light in front of the stunned Anubis.
Let him go!
In less than a second of magic activating, Anubis was still quick to judge.
I'll kill you if I let you get away with it! and its right arm is wielded.
It was my last buddy, Yuki, who stood in front of me without the skill to exchange.
While the blood was scattered in slow motion, we made a sound called Pashun and metastasized.
"... sta.... come"
"..."
Someone rocked my body, and I regained consciousness.
Apparently, he was passed out.
When I opened my eyes, there was a figure of a yuki dyed in blood with dark green fur.
"Yu...... Ki, are you okay?
"Yes, it's a little... tight, but better than it looks, it's okay"
"Well... hold on, I'll use the potion"
That's how I first noticed what was going on around me trying to take the middle potion out of my bag.
"Here, is...?
It was a white space where countless spheres drifted through the universe.
In as much space as the school gymnasium, there are spheres like chavon balls, some of which......
"... cards?
It contained one card at a time of the monster I was used to seeing.
Battlewolf, Cobolt, Fairy, Willow Whisp, Carbuncle, Coosie, Hellhound, Lilapse......
That was all the cards of the monsters appearing in this labyrinth.
Look at Yuki as she potions her body.
The size of the chavon balls was a tiny one, and even the same type of cards seemed to have openings to much larger sizes.
Unexpectedly a different view appeared in my eyes as I glanced at the brilliant spherical surface of the rainbow.
That was the sight of a little kid drowning in the river. The sight of a kindergarten or so boy playing in the shallow part of the river, stuck to the deep part of the river, getting his feet taken and flushed by the stream of water. A couple of parents who were preparing for a barbecue by the river hastily jumped into the river in no time...
The boy's suffering and the impatience and fear of his parents passed directly through him as if he were using the 'link' and I groaned small.
"Ugh, ku..., what's that now...?
It was as real as if it were a sight that was really happening somewhere in the world.
When I tried to glance at the next chavon ball again.
Master, give me that.
Yuki pointed to one chavon ball.
There were two large chavon balls lined up, and as I approached them, there was one Lycanslope card in there.
One is a man, the other is a woman's card.
"This is..."
Those of them with large chavon balls...... when I reached for the one with the woman's lycanthrope in it, I made a noise called a pussy and the chavon balls broke.
Hikari and Lycanslope cards fall.
[Race] Lycanslope
[Combat Power] 800.
[Innate Skills]
-If the moon is full, you lose.
- Clothes on wolves
-Awakening of instincts
[Acquired Skills]
-The true.
· Breaking limits
· True/family summons
- Lord of the Territorial
-High Ninja
"One, strong..."
Is this really Lycanslope? Besides having twice as much initial combat power as a regular Lycan slope, there are a number of skills I've never seen before.
What skill is true? Is breaking limits the reason for this high level of combat power? Is a true/family summons different from just a family summons?
and then.
"Hey what...!?
"Master!"
Suddenly, a violent vibration struck us.
Biscuits and jaws enter the white space, and the chavon balls break apart one after another.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The card that fell from the chavon balls was sucked into the bottom of the Naruto.
What happens if I fall into this rift...?
I felt something horrible on my invisible card and lagged behind.
"Master!"
It was us who were being held by Yuki and fleeing the rift, but gradually the scaffolding became less and less, and we were being hunted down.
Eventually, the last scaffold collapsed and we fell to the bottom of Naruto as we screamed.
