Over The Infinite

Episode 16: Four Divine Practitioners' Martial Arts

-1 -

Liezelotte Ryatt Shelkervain is a former monster rookie adventurer.

Just because the monster's classification disappeared doesn't make it any different to being a vampire, but the treatment in labyrinth cities is similar to that of ordinary people. For once, they're registered as the same subrace as the Beasts, etc., but I don't see many people distinguishing between them there. The fact that goblins and oaks are fairy species also tells us how to classify them as a big mess.

Aside from the classifications around there, Lotte stopped the monster and took a new path as an adventurer. As he once said, resetting the level and background of the Monster Age is quite a courageous act, even though his skills will remain.

In fact, her monster-era background is gorgeous, something that she sees no other example from her relationship of origin.

The parents are all uniquely named vampires. Sometimes I am the first II monster to be born, and what a young man I am to start working as a dungeon monster. It was three years after that that that I was officially certified as a unique monster. He has a lot of experience with dungeon bosses and event bosses, and has been selected as a designated crusade species. I can only get the impression that being a human seems amazing to me, but being an adventurer is an act of throwing away all of those backgrounds and starting all over again. Naturally, he is also treated as a rookie as an adventurer.

That doesn't mean it's a round blank paper. You can't use levels, abilities, or anything that only monsters can exercise, but your skills will remain and the experience you've developed in the Monster Age will remain intact. As can be seen from the fact that there are separate trials available for debating, it would be faster for humans to be stronger than starting from scratch.

Lotte, in particular, is also deeply influenced by her father or about building a dungeon. He's good at setting difficulty with the strength of the adventurer.... Yeah, I know myself well. I mean, Mr. Lotte like that...

'... are you serious? You're riding? I heard about the Third Area, and I thought this neighborhood was at its limits.'

When I say…, that means difficulty far above the limits of general perception. Even if you don't think about it well, as a monster, you have experience as a boss, so judgment around there is something you can trust... something you can put down.

An example of a criterion is the once challenged [Castle of Blood] special event. Would it be easy to understand if we thought that was like an upgrade as it was to our average level? Both the route and the members are highly liberal, and although there are many parts that differ from the non-rechallengeability of the day if they die instead of zero breaks, it is an assessment based on the addition of them.

Limit values after adding to the team's overall abilities, including Gardo's experience and strength with an unknown part of the Sky Dragon in the estimate. That was about the third area being the limit.

I said, 'We're going for the Fifth Area' or something, but I have to say that Mr. Lotte's quote was correct.

"Alexander, not yet!?"

"There are three more!!"

It was such a hard development that such commentary turned my head.

Unlike [Castle of Blood], which was built mainly on traps and gimmicks of instant death, HP penetration damage, the environment in the third area can be described as extremely authentic. It's colorful and complex, but I don't see many tricks that would kill me instantly. Of course, there are many occasions where there is nothing that can be done without the < scouts > of the incumbent, but there are also many kinds of schemes that can be managed by force pushing. It is not always necessary to break through on the main road, and there are routes available that can be taken forward if bypassed and the road is rounded off. The common denominator is that all of them are in hard mode.

Hard... There are occasions when we can make the most of our properties, even if it's super hard to tell the entity. For example, the gimmick of stone statues that Gardo and Alexander are currently desperately carrying is one of them.

Large circular hall with entrance on all sides. Only the north entrance we want to face is tightly closed, and a pedestal is installed around the outer circumference of the circle. Countless stone statues are installed throughout the hall. It's a trick that installing stone statues of various beasts, large and small, on a pedestal will pave the way to the north. I also use sticky paper carefully.

Fail at that point if they destroy the stone statue you need. There will be so many monsters coming from the east, west and south entrances that the pedestal will be buried that we also need to deal with that. The number of stone statues on the pedestal and the beast does not match, and it is also troublesome to have to select one that fits the shape in total. And most importantly, the stone statue was extremely heavy, and there was something inside that I couldn't even carry. A big, prominent big ass at the moment...... I don't even freak out about mammoths, dragons or whale stone statues. They even have a limit on not entering the Item Box like a status card.

If you bypass here and look for another route, it is obvious from the nearby structure that you will be quite far away. It is easily guided to the extent that I can see it.

After watching the stickers and worrying a little, we chose to break through here. The deciding factor is the presence of Gard and Alexander. No matter how much power you have, Gard can't carry a giant statue on his own, but Alexander and I can handle it critically if he has "weight loss", a skill of < carrier >. It would also be possible to divide them by moving them in sequence from huge objects.

Whether or not you can use it satisfactorily, Alexander can carry even a Class < Minotaur Axe > weapon in the Item Box. It must also be significant to be able to take advantage of the skills acquired during the < Remover > era.

The formation to intercept enemies is formed by me, Sarjes and Sky Dragon at each of the three gates, and Lotte takes the form of cover from the center of the hall. Don't forget to move a stone statue in that shape near each pedestal in advance. It was determined that it would be breakable with this sharing.

When you install a statue of a dragon on the first pedestal, the pedestal glows if it was the right one. Much more conscientious but easy to understand.

Shortly afterwards, a monster arrived from behind each entrance to gush out. Strength is weaker than the monsters who fought on the road. I mean, not unlike the miscellaneous fish monsters we usually fight in the infinite corridor, I, Sarjes and Sky Dragon can each defeat them alone, and if we even get Lotte's backup, we can afford some opponent. However, as the two, three and stone statues are filled, the number of them increases dramatically, which begins to cause anxiety. It is an amount that recalls the crate at the bottom of the trial that was once attempted and about to be filled with monsters. Bury.

Four, five, six. I can't afford to get Lotte's cover fully operational.

Seven, eight, nine. Much. Too much. It's no longer an amount of killing. An anomaly in which yet another monster strikes a monster over a monster. It's just a matter of trying not to let it pass. That is, when you defeat them, they demonize and disappear, so they are treated as walls with some damage and dying.... I'm still about to get pushed in. If it goes down slightly, the front will collapse in no time. I can't afford to check with Sargess and Sky Dragon. Sometimes it seems safe in the voices that go up, but I'm running out of room for them.

10. A little bit began to regret the decision to pass here. If you're a team other than us, you'll be looking for another route through here, but it's hard to avoid this place, which I know is a shortcut, as long as you can handle it poorly. It's also a problem that bypassing is not necessarily a route that can be broken. There is no pull here. You can't pull it off. How do you earn advantages when you're pulling on the stage saying you've got everything for us?

Damn, the heavy, hard one. Come on. Because I'm going to make it a wall after I'm dying.

"Damn it!! Straw straw straw straw straw"

"One more thing!!"

Alexander's voice echoes from behind the hall. And a few seconds later, something sounded off and the entrance gate we were fighting for was shut tight.

The monsters across the door don't even seem to break through. A few, some of them were sandwiched in the door, but already demonized. I think I can finally breathe a breath.

"Damn, even troublesome. I've never seen anything like it in an infinite corridor."

"I hope it helped, but honestly, it's hard"

Alexander and Gard come back to center in blur. It seems like an RPG trick, but it certainly doesn't matter if you have one like this in real life. Alexander, who carried the heavy stuff, seems tired, but this one's probably here too.

"Don't you? I thought you were gonna do something a lot different."

"It's not an infinite corridor. I wonder if there are some dungeons sometimes. in an eventful attraction.... It's not such a hard setting."

Lotte, whose MP is almost depleted, says while drinking < Mana Potion >.

They've never tried anything but infinite corridors in the original world. Sky Dragon seems confused by the gap. In the first place, they haven't come pinned because of the existence of a dungeon other than the infinite corridor. In that sense, this is another dungeon.

"Leader. Door doesn't seem to be open..."

Says Sarjes, who last came late to rendezvous, looking at the door behind the north side of the hall.

They've got a puzzle for you to solve, and if you've cleared it, you think you can move on.... I guess it just doesn't mean it's that easy. We're all gathered in the middle of the hall because we know what's going on. And that conjecture is probably right.

"Well, I hear there's more to it, so I'm gonna take it easy."

Reassemble the weapon again. It has been medium hard so far, but not unlike garbage cleaning in the strength of the monster. Probably from here on out.

The formation is omnidirectional, centered around Alexander and Lotte. There are twelve stone statues standing across from us. If you look closely, the stone statue has its legality. Most Japanese people would come up with the law.

"Whoa!?"

There was a loud noise and the floor swayed. This...

"Looks like we're moving downstairs. I wonder if this whole room means a lift."

It's a handheld elevator. And it was obvious if you look at the stone statue that you can't just keep moving.

A giant statue like a pillar begins to move. Rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, dragons, snakes, horses, sheep, apes, chickens, dogs, pigs. Twelve beasts of the main branch roared and attacked each other in unison. I thought I'd twist it a little more, but it seems to stay that way.

"Gardo! Lotte and Alexander, hold the guy approaching you as you guard the two of them. Sky Dragon, get as far away as you can and turn around near the center to attack. Sargess, you two are gonna smash it around!

If you look only at the word stem beast, it feels more dear than the monsters you usually fight, but the beast in front of you is bigger than the digits, just in size. Even the smallest rat comes to intimidate this one with an orc-like physique. The tiger is a sabel tiger, and it only looks like a cockatris to the chicken. It would have been unexpected if Yuki came out with a razor frame, but it's just a giant razor. It looks terribly fierce, and cuteness is devoid of shards. Left alone, you won't die of loneliness.

"Tens of millions won't arrive to take shape of a dragon without me. I'll punish you."

The dragon, who maintained a relatively decent appearance among the vicious stem beasts, was pissed off by the sky dragon. Is it also something special?

... and well, the number was high, but the stem beast battle, whose strength falls within the common sense range, ended without damage. It was some kind of bossy performance, but it's not surprising because it's one of the countless event fights rolling on the road. But defeating the beasts keeps the room moving. Are you traveling pretty deep or are you slow? It's hard to grasp the feel because the room is large.

"Aren't you a special area boss, are you? It felt like it."

What Lotte is talking about is the boss of a special area whose presence was revealed on day one in Lizart. It's the array Serafina grabbed by MVP.

"If I were a special area boss, it would be easier to explore after this."

'That's not true. No change in the notation on the map'

I can hear Tigrea from the other side of the comms. He heard the story.

"Not now, but something's wrong. Let the operator do it."

Don't worry, it's not against the rules. I know it's not a situation where you can choose the means, and it's the same thing we want to win. "

In addition to the elements normally added to this event, there are a number of special bonuses. What bonuses are meant to be a pleasure to see and remain a secret until you confirm, but for special bonuses earned by other teams by the end of the day, it's a mechanism that includes what it is.

Among other things, the special area control bonus earned by Serafina seems to be that crusading the positioned boss turns its perimeter into an explored map. A delicious bonus that all traps in the range will be unlocked, the map will be filled, and the monsters will be off limits, plus a score for that amount. The boss himself scores high.

If the stem beast I fought earlier was the boss of a special area, the map Tiglare sees at the base has also been extensively explored, making it an ideal situation that won't even count with the monsters for a while, but it doesn't seem to be going so well.

"Your route is the shortest route in a straight line almost north, so I don't think you're placing it there."

"So is that."

By making predictions like this, it is apparent that the four gods do not know the location of the special area. It means that you can't instruct places even when you're ready to lose weight.

What we're tracking is a consistent line north of the primary area. It can't be complete because there are rooms with bends, up and down, and impenetrable traps and structures, but you should be drawing basically straight lines if you look on the whole map.

After all, I haven't bought any maps of other teams. B, the C team had bought everything that had been cleared, but this is how they pushed us in a straight line, because they didn't think we could refer to anything else on the team. Map information also includes the location of uncollected crates, but we cannot allow Alexander, who lacks combat power, to act alone, thus making the choice to move forward for all.

There was another huge noise and the room rocked. Apparently it stopped, and the north entrance opened. Then the other entrance opened, but I'm not going to check on you.

The passage north leads in a clear and straight line. There are several branches, but even a possible northbound road is likely to earn quite a bit of distance.

-2 -

So far, the third area offense has been better than I had imagined. The monsters that emerge are strong, the maps are more complex, the traps are more vicious, but they are still within common sense. If we did it in the infinite corridor, there wouldn't be a crusade-designated species here to count, and there wouldn't be any occasions where we'd be forced to fight underwater. At least we have a choice. Naturally there are more than one area boss on top of many routes, but it helps that you don't have to break through everything like [Castle of Blood] to move on.

The presence of Lotte, an experienced dungeon builder, is also significant. Apart from in the case of completely random structures, it grasps the mechanism with physical and conscious blind spots. Normally, I can give you an idea of hidden passages that you won't notice, and I can warn you beforehand about traps like those aimed at Gard's physique. In addition, it is also significant that the idea of Werner, this dungeon designer, can be read to some extent. I can also be alert to the placement of traps and monsters like harassment.... I heard the story and found out how adventurers' thoughts were read and studied. Whether or not that's a good thing is a delicate thing, but at least it's useful in the present situation. Well, there is also a mechanism to cover the back assuming that Lotte is there, but if you look at it as a whole, it is a big plus.

The immediate problem is time. It may sound long when asked eight hours, but it is too short a time in dungeon exploration where it is normal to take a few days per layer. In order to reach the fifth area, as of the second day, the third area has broken through, and I would also like to keep an eye on the fourth area strategy….

"How much further are we to the Fourth Area?

"If it's a straight line distance, two-thirds is long gone, but I've been going and going since just now, and I haven't moved north."

"I know that, but that's how it's structured."

Even though it's the main road all the time, it's turning gnarly like harassment.

Clearly, we don't have time. Even if we can afford to break through the third area, it's not a good place to stop.

If we think about it in terms of our strength and abilities, it will be easy to keep hunting monsters in the Fourth Area on the third day. In fact, you should be able to earn more points than you did on day one or today. But I'll probably lose with that. It's not about losing to which team or anything, it's the lowest course.

I can read that Dirk has stirred us up and the rest of the team has decided that we are going to bet... Nature, Team B and Team C will also come up with a risk readiness challenge.

If you expect to deploy, you will eventually reach the fourth area of all teams. Fifth area reach will be tough both warriorly and temporally. If we can make an advantage, that's the only way. We should think that we can reach that point and finally get up to the mound of battle.

... I'll be mostly in charge of my luck, but I wonder if I could win if I had a source of scoring other than hunting monsters normally in the Fifth Area. I hope we can win.

"Wow, I'm curious."

Lotte cut it out as he was becoming silent as he walked down the long aisle.

"What, you don't have a single trap? Or is there no monster out there? There's no way out of this?

"All"

That was a common perception of all of us just because we hadn't put it in our mouths. Since I used that lift, there is no dungeon-specific trick that has always existed on the road I have come by. I could even check with the first area to some extent, but I'm here and it's zero. According to communications from Tiglare, the third area is about to end. It would be like saying there is something. Obviously an anomaly.

"For once I ask, what is the case with the main road of this hand being provided?

"... if you have a hell of a strong enemy or if you have a hell of a trick available. So far so obvious, it's not a bit of a level."

I've been walking the main road for almost half an hour now. The RPG just says the boss is waiting. There seems to be a savepoint or something.

I guess that lift is the key. It's like a super advanced route sorted by whether you can break through the array or not. Are you waiting for a super powerful boss or a special monster? However, there is no way to turn back either way.

If we turn back here, the absolute distance advantage disappears and, conversely, it stretches as a penalty. I run out of time to break through the third area and dedicate it to exploring the fourth area at my leisure. Or even today's third area offensive is at a critical level when it comes to exploring on a different route. In other words, defeat is imperative.

"Well, there's no turning back. Whatever lies ahead, it's up to you."

"It doesn't matter, does it? Rather, it is the right path for the eagles. You don't have enough time to turn back."

"Yes, but I needed to be mindful. And what to do with me and Alexander"

However, it is difficult to treat the two of us. There's still a chance there's something ahead that needs manpower, like the stone statue on the elevator. It's where they come through that trick, so it would be extra possible. Besides, even if we're going to the Fourth Area, we need an explorer. Nobody can replace Lotte, and the mapboard Alexander's in charge of. If we have a different substitute, we'll have less trouble.

"Lotte, is there any chance that waiting ahead is stronger than the third area boss? Oh, don't worry."

"Look... I think there is. If it's a dungeon with this hand, it won't make that difference to an area boss who installs more than one..."

"If possible, would you place it otherwise?"

That's exactly the situation. A special area boss for control or a monster that appears only on a hidden route.

If you are confident in your arms, please go through. It is just a structure.

"Lotte and Alexander are...... sorry but I need you to hang out with me until I'm critical. Fighting alone can do anything, but there can be occasions when there is a need for numbers. Until the Fourth Area, I want one of them to stay."

"Well, that's not a mistake either.... Ok."

As an issue before exploratory power, exploration becomes imperative to advance untouched land. That conjecture presupposes experience and knowledge, and nothing beats Lotte's conjecture of experience as a monster and knowing Werner's habits. The beating is also a beating, but it is only until today that the beating can truly be hit. If it keeps changing, all teams will throw away safety and hit a beat on the last day.

"It's time for the northern end of Area III. If the straight line continues without anything, it won't be enough. I don't know how far I can climb to reach the area boss. '

Communication came in from Tiglare. If nothing, the goal is close.... Well, there is.

What you see at the end of the long passage is the hall. It wouldn't be the boss area, considering the distance. It's a sense of crisis that I feel to take you closer. I feel something comparable to the mighty enemies and crusade-designated species that have confronted me so far....... I have a bad one.

It was a big space there. A cylindrical space extends longitudinally and a staircase toward the top is installed along the wall. I can confirm more than one dance floor on the way, but I can't confirm ahead because of it. It means climb even for the goal.

… There is no shadow of a "moving" monster so far.

"... cocoon, is that it?

I see some cocoon-like shadows on the dance floor along the way.

"You're a killer mantis egg. I wonder if it's starting to hatch when I get close. Gross, maybe it's faster to run through because you don't want to deal with them one way or the other"

Killermantis is a giant monster of Kamakiri, as its name suggests. I have encountered it several times in the infinite corridor, but have the ability to attack and speed specialize. Does it also work in your favor to have a wide vision due to double eyesight? An ambush has been established and it is a painful troublesome monster. Sure, it's dangerous if he's got a ton of them...

"... right. Gardo, the lord, please. You can smash down the aisles and stairs after they fall out."

"I don't care if it's easy to understand. Leave it to me. If I lose my scaffold because of the weight of the eagle, Sman."

"Then you'll see how it goes and return. It would be helpful if you stopped the monster somewhat."

There's just nothing I can do about that. It would be an inevitable problem beyond incorporating a supergiant, super-weight gard into a party. There are many occasions when that helps.

Step into the square and run towards the stairs you can see in the back. The lead is Sargess. If it's going to be a fight, I'll have it exposed. Then the sky dragons, Alexander, Lotte, me, Gardo.

Two giant kamakiri fall from the top before reaching the stairs. I don't mind going in. The preceding Sargess crushed the whole thing with the Tornado Kick. The ensuing sky dragon rips the other one apart with a touch of armor sleeves. Not that strong, but don't get sick of seeing them fall one after the other.

"Alexander, Lotte, run with no regard! We'll take care of it!!"

Killermantis is an opponent classified as a strong enemy in the two level bands, albeit weak. Attention is more attacking than defense. His attacks are fast, and the sickle on his arm pulls out easily, such as low level band HP. The best tactic is to defeat them without making them act.

"Sargess! I beg you to expose me first!

Copy that, sir.

- Action Skill.

Sargess jumping up like a bullet. Stay on the next dance floor and crush the kamakiri coming down from the top. Not everything can handle it. Treat the overflowing with me and Sky Dragon. If we could just go a little up there, just drop it would work.

Ask blunt-footed Alexander and Gard to run anyway. However, Gard, who leaves his lord in charge, shouldn't have that many problems as long as he can fight alone even if he's late. Even though it specializes in Attack, Killermantis does not defeat Gard.

"Humph!!"

Gard running backwards destroyed the first dance floor. The Kamakiri seem to jump if it's about the first floor, but they can stop the chase a little. The problem is that Gardo falls, but we have to pray there. Recovery is just impossible. In the meantime, the dance floor doesn't seem to collapse due to weight.

"Dear Watanabe, the level is rising."

"... oh"

The sky dragon who deals with it beside me tells me to notice. The level of kamakiri that emerges as you go up there is rising.

Now it's possible for even one Sargess to deal with it, but it would be a bad area. We need to see the timing and rendezvous, but he shouldn't have mistimed it.

Climb even. Run up the stairs, through the dance floor, and wait for Gardo as he battles. I should have climbed a few dozen meters already, but I can't see the goal. Damn, not yet!

"Leader!!"

The voice of the preceding Sargess is a warning. Coming down from overhead at the next time is a black and huge kamakiri more than Killermantis.

"Jeez, Genocide!? What a placement!!"

The scream-stained Lotte's voice rises. Kamakiri landed right behind me.

I was convinced face-to-face. The sense of crisis I've been feeling since earlier belongs to this guy. Farther in character than Killermantis and others. I'm sending out signs that I'm convinced even if I'm called the boss alone.

"Alexander, Lotte, Sky Dragon, go ahead and join Sarjes. It's not good to be separated from Gard."

"You should never be attacked by me. Avoid it anyway!

"Oh. Gard!! I'll slap you down"

"Yikes!!"

Run for Genocide Mantis, who lines up on the dance floor. I don't know the characteristics of this guy, but from Lotte's advice, he would be more attacking than Killermantis. But you don't have to take it down. You can knock it off to a place where you can't come up.

The moment I looked back and confronted him, the killing I felt. The sickle ignored it and scratched my face, taking an attack with a sword that would be released with little spare motion.

"Nha!?"

Is there such an asshole attack? In an instant, the sword was cut from the inside, and the endurance lost all. If you eat like this raw, you're out in one shot.

- Action Skill

Probably out even taking it with a shield. With my hand, if it's the only one I can take, it's just this guy with Unbreakable.

Because of the shape of the sickle, I get my neck skipped just to take it. Not enough motion vision and reaction speed. It's almost intuitive that you're manipulating it. If it's a fast but monotonous move, I can handle it. I don't feel alive to sickle attacks that are repeatedly unleashed. Is Gardo here yet?

"Duh Probably!!"

- Action Skill: Fortress Bash

Giant approaching behind Genocide Mantis. It's a rampage with a giant shield that I don't normally use.

Keep hitting it, blow every shield Genocide Mantis. Genocide Mantis disappeared off-site with a no-go push of a fight kick to the shield that further released him.

"Tuna! He's a mess. They're even gonna rip out my guard."

Gard's unprecedented voice color made him feel in a hurry. I know it sucks, but it sucks even in Gard's level band.

Hurry to the stairs and destroy the junction of the dance floor. I thought I'd take a breather, but as I climbed the stairs, I saw a startling sight.

Down there, I see Genocide Mantis climbing up as he stabs his arm in the wall. That speed isn't fast, but if I'm mottled, I can catch up.

"I hate him, I hate him"

"We're in a hurry anyway. Moving is a priority over destroying the dance floor."

I wouldn't have liked it if they caught up to me. I mean, it's not like he's the one. I care about the sarges ahead of me.

Hurry up and climb the stairs and rendezvous with the leading group. Little time has passed, so it looks like Sargess and I haven't joined up yet.

"Whoa, whoa!!"

- Action Skill

And when I looked to the side, Sargess fell as she kicked into another individual's genocide mantis.

Step in direction again in the air. It jumps this way. The figure is scratchy and full of creativity.

"Damn, what a bore he is to be chopped up without pain"

But Sargess was a normal driver. His sickle seems to be an unacceptable attack on the Mazo.

Better than allowances, it would be bad if we didn't hurry anyway. It doesn't necessarily end with the two of us, and from below, the earlier individuals are climbing in. Sargess's second dropped... will not be back because he fell pretty far down.

"There was a passage leading to the back on the fifth floor. The space leads up, but that's where the stairs end."

I don't know if I'm right, but if I can get out of this space, it'll help. Can you deal with such a monster?

Climb the stairs without living comfort. Genocide mantis does not fall, but the number of killer mantis increases further and inhibits the way to go. Because this is not a situation where I can care about my lord, I will concentrate my strength in front of him and bring him down.

"Three seconds later!

Alexander's voice sounded and a flash shell burst after a specified number of seconds. Break through trying to crack a horde of frightened killer mantis. Towards the rear of the Gard. Smokescreen bullets were then thrown as well. This is no occasion to spare consumables. Alexander will be right in his judgment. The problem is there aren't so many supplies left.

"Mr. Watanabe!! I'm here, it's black, so soo"

Top floor of the goal. At the visible stage of the road leading to the back, the first dropped Genocide Mantis caught up. I have legs on the dance floor. I'm not going to deal with him. Anyway, hurry to the road.

"Alexander!"

"Hiya tail!?"

It was Alexander who was delayed as the other faces rushed through.

Lucky or unlucky, the attack hit his tail and was cut off when he got into a critical range the moment he got cocked.

- Action Skill

An empty dragon fan flies from the back of the road and hits Genocide Mantis. The movement only stops for a moment, and Alexander slips into the aisle in that gap.

"Gardot!!"

"Oodle."

Gard stands at the entrance. The distance from Genocide Mantis is still far away, but the ceiling is not aimed at the enemy.

- Action Skill: Diamond Coat

- Skill Chain.

Degenerate your fists into diamonds and cover them with more magic. Genocide mantis looms during a slight post-move stiffness.

"Humph!!"

- Action Skill

Gard destroyed the entrance ceiling and filled the passage with rubble. Gard's involved, but ignores it and evacuates to this side.

There is no shadow to see how the impact penetrated to the top or the collapsed part. Those monsters could break through the rubble, but they would be able to buy time to get to the back. Hopefully, it will help if you get caught in a collapse and die.

"I really don't believe it. By what standards does my dad put that in place?"

"... I got caught in the dark. He was out in the area where I was working before the clan broke up."

I mean, someone that senior adventurers would respond to at a party. Hell of a placement.

Let Lotte see what she can't afford around saying dad.

"Mr. Panda, are you okay with your butt?

"Yeah, it hurts, but I just cut my tail a thousand times...... you can handle it if you drink the potion"

If you look at Alexander, the hairs on the ass part are mowed by the tail, but not so much as fatal wounds. Fortunately the butt meat hasn't shredded, but the cross section of the hair is flat. You wouldn't be able to imitate it like slashing soft hair from above HP without considerable sharpness.

I was just lucky Alexander wasn't dead. It's super dangerous. Or if I eat a decent attack, everyone here seems out.

"Gardo, you won't be able to recover that shield, but are you okay?

"It's a homemade mass product, so it's not a problem. There's plenty of them."

Do you have a lot of big tits like that? There was a football goal in there and all, and how much capacity does this guy have in his Item Box?

There was no sign of Genocide Mantis breaking through the rubble after a while, but just in case and while Gardo collapses the ceiling, he moves back. It's blocking my way out. It'll take shape, but I'm not going back to where there's such a monster, so no problem.

The passage is a long main road. I don't see what's going on ahead because it's slightly bent up, down, left and right, but I guess there's a goal in the third area ahead.

After a while I saw a hall at the end of the aisle, and a huge gate. The outer edge of the third area, a borderline place.... I think this is the place.

"There's only a gate."

"Like a pattern of being assaulted when you go into the hall?

"I guess it's too narrow for that."

I don't have a boss like I was by the second area. Lotte's right, there's just a big gate. They don't have any tricks in the hall in front of them, so I'll just go inside.

"The boss's room is at the end of that gate."

Apparently, the information was a public trigger to discover the gate, and Tiglare's supplement came in by correspondence. Unlike the second area, when you go inside, you're in what's called a normal boss room where the battle starts?

"You're purposefully building a private room so you don't see it, can I tell you in advance?

'The purpose is not to make it invisible. This is a non-exit and halfway area. All boss rooms in the third area and beyond are subject to the same rules. It's possible to return, but be careful because you only have one challenge.'

The ban on leaving means you can't use your hands when multiple people try to replace you and cut your boss's health. I haven't even done it to the second area, but it's officially banned.

If the return is O.K., we can use our hands to go inside and fight for the time being and then return. You don't have to worry about Lotte's lack of gas.

I guess the right to challenge once is forbidden for now to let me try and ask what's going on inside in the correspondence. We need to look for another route when the offense fails, but that doesn't matter because there's no way to come back here.

"By the way, the third area boss appears in multiple bodies. It's a mass battle. '

"Can you even give me information about the boss?... it's not genocide mantis, is it?

"Was the scream I heard earlier caused by Genocide Mantis? I don't think you knocked down the logs, but you're dealing with a hell of a lot. It seems to be a monster placed only on a special route, so forget it. '

The only individual who climbed the wall was the one Gard dropped, but the second one Sarjes dropped was not dead to the extent that he was also stepped on and dropped. I mean, I knew it was a special route treatment, here.

"So, here's the boss's information. Technically, it's not a monster. Shadow...... A copy of Adventurer appears. The number is six. The configuration is chosen at random from three types.... so far, I think you'll see. '

"... a member of another team"

'Correct. Because it reflects the information at the start of this event, you can think of it as basically the same strength as the real thing, including behavioral patterns. Differences include not using consumed items, not communicating language or other intentions, extinguishing HP when it reaches zero, endurance damage to equipment and direct damage to the flesh are converted into HP damage. And then I have skills that I can't reproduce in part'

Are you saying that the strength is weakened by various restrictions, even if it is the same as the person? Only the other side is the Zero Blake anomaly rule. This one is essentially advantageous.

"What skills are unavailable?

"Basically, I can't reproduce anything that's not registered in the database of the Intelligence Agency. And then there's a group of skills with sequelae like Sargess's" Inmoral Burst. "

Well, they don't have to worry about the aftermath.

Berenvar and the Sky Dragons should also have some skills that are not yet registered, so you can assume they are weakening. What about Mikael's Panda Fire, etc. Registration should have been done, whether or not the details were available.

"Well, the problem is Lotte and Alexander. It's necessary to explore the Fourth Area, but there's a lot of danger in getting them to participate in the Boss Battle"

"I don't think any team will be able to help."

Alexander isn't in the combat position in the first place, and he's low level. Every team has a mix of nearby level band members, but it will be harder to deal with them alone than it is to be a team fight. The stone is the first to aim from the point where it is easy to drop. I checked it once, but they also don't have many consumed items left paid for on days one or two.

Lotte's defense is paper, but he can fly on top of being capable of ranged attacks. My hand would also be ant to shoot the big one and ask him to return.

"If the offense succeeds, what will happen to the treatment of this gate? With it closed, it can only be moved from the [base] East Gate."

"It opens just as far as the second area. There's nothing wrong with waiting. If we lose, we'll be left at the end of the line."

That helps. Then Alexander is waiting. I have a comm plane and a mapboard. If Alexander stays, he can continue to use it even if someone dies or returns. Instead, not that Lotte was supposed to participate. A guard can cover you, and you can fly away. If you can, it will help if you deal with low-level members of your opponent's team.

Return without hesitation, not just to Lotte, when he deems it dangerous. It's best for them all to stay, but as long as they attack one person, they can start their last day at the start of the fourth area at worst.

"If Genocide Mantis breaks through the rubble, Alexander can return."

"Please don't be scared. It's going to be traumatic."

-3-

Once inside, there was a short passage, a simple hall with nothing beyond it. Shadow was summoned when he stepped into the hall, which seems to be the start of the fight. The opponent exists only three patterns, albeit random. Every one of them knows who they are. Not completely, but measures can also be put in place.

The B-team looks seemingly balanced but speed-oriented ultra-fast. Yuki, Moya, Silver Dragon, three manoeuvres, Mizuki and Mikael are also equipped with rear guard firepower, as well as recovery and defense support. By and large, it seems cheating that Mr. Shui is covering it by himself. I don't know about Gobsarty One, but there's a level difference over the avant-garde and it's going to be hard on the main force. On the challenger's side, it's a waiting course just like Alexander's.

"It's physical damage resistance that scares me, so if you're out of HP, you can't even use it on meat walls."

Mr. Lotte is spicy even though he is a disciple.

The C-Team is dominated by the avant-garde Chimera, Xuanlong, Tilia, Ladine of the rear guard, and Borg, who cannot prejudge which one it is. It depends on how Ladine handles it when it comes to Kukuru, but it's hard to think of it as the main force. As a point of aim, Ladine, or if you can drop Tilia, the war situation will lean at once. Chimeras that burst endlessly scare me, but I have a lot of experience in mock warfare, so it's easy to take action. Xuanlong would be best dealt with by Sky Dragon because he has no information. Apparently, there's a clear difference in strength.

Team D is...... too scared of Dirk and Serafina, although it is a team with a lot of low-level band members.

Berenvar also doesn't want to deal with him alone if he refers to his combat experience in the [stationary clock tower]. Gaul is also a good fighter for multi-player opponents, and even though there is a level difference, Lirica won't be a good opponent to be alarmed about. Michael... I guess he's okay. The class skill name is just weird and it's a legitimate fighting type, and I wouldn't be using bizarre hands.

Whatever team comes, it's probably the Sky Dragon that will be the key. Her magic deactivation exerts nearly invincible power on the opponent who uses witchcraft. It would be the hardest on all teams. Gardo is our team, so there's no danger Shadow will emerge.

Thinking about it like this, the third area boss looks like we're in the most favor. If any other team deals with our copy, they will deal with a team that specializes only in combat. By the rules, Shadow wouldn't let me or Sargess live their immortality, but subtracting it would be a tough opponent. I'm glad you dropped a few of your other teams off in a good way. Good luck and torment the other team, Tuna Shadow.

"Let's go."

Speak up and step out into the hall. A few moments later, the magical light rises behind the hall. A shadow of a familiar figure emerges from the unfolded magic formation. It's hard to tell in detail because it's a shadow, but I can tell which team it is in that form alone. Panda on four human-shaped bodies, and a goblin-like shadow. This is led by Yuki......

"B-team! We're on schedule."

Enemy avant-garde moving at the same time as the start. Silver Dragon was the first of them to pop up.

Regardless of the low level group Gobsartiwan and Mikael are members who have experience against Silver Dragon and otherwise have scattered mock fights. Each hand can read, and behavioral patterns are predictable. Aim for me as expected. Gardo, you're deciding that coming after me, not Sky Dragon, is the easiest thing to drop and has a lot of impact when you fall off. That's a common perception of the avant-garde, including Moya and Yuki, not just Silver Dragon. It's easy to read, but you're right.

Silver Dragon wields a mysterious stick with a movement that is far more sophisticated than when it was previously paired. Have you trained since or acquired it on the first day of this event? However, as always, I only use it as a stick, but its shape just seems to have more of another function. It has a blade, but I don't think it's a spear.

And a few seconds late, Moyer threw bitterness. An attack from an unrecognized blind spot, but that's what I'm used to. Play with your weapon without having to.

- Action Skill

- Skill Chain, Intercept Guard.

Gard's defensive skills were activated to coincide with Silver Dragon's attack, and the stone stretched from the floor blocked the attack by sight.

It will be difficult to match the activation timing, but if the floor is mineral, even remotely defend it. That would be something like an advanced tank.

Gard's role in this fight is a shield for everyone, including me. Honestly, it's not human moves that can protect everyone who expands extensively, but it's possible for him to be remotely guardable and not human. It is thus the offensive plan for Team B that other members go to finish off the rear guard while receiving the avant-garde. Drop the guards, especially Mr. Watermelon, and the war will be decided once and for all. If you can just hold out with Gard's support ants, even the three avant-garde opponents can manage......

... avant-garde? Funny, why hasn't Yuki come in at this time?

"Tuna! Up there!!"

Vision was overshadowed so as to match Gard's voice. Attacks from overhead that do not reach Gard's defensive skills.

If you look up, Yuki's shadow falls as you drive and accelerate your hoverboard from overhead high. I knew I'd bring it in.

Meetup's sword trident is a pain split. Deal shallow damage to each other. But it's quick to rebuild. I can't handle Yuki approaching me at high speed while spinning a circle over the board in time.

- Action Skill "Twin Circles"

"Nna!!"

Skills, anyway, are the first to see their longitudinal rotation, and judgment cannot be kept up against the more stereoscopic tracks. In addition, the wave-like attacks of Silver Dragon and Moyer and the Flying Sword like "Clear Hand". The other three are supposed to be, but the guard can't catch up. Even with Gard's support, there will be a build-up of non-shallow damage. Isn't mobility specialisation Dada?

- Action Magic "Stonewall" -

Gardo deployed multiple giant stone walls before me.

A shadow that jumps right over that wall. Aren't you guys too physically capable, and it's a sight that makes me want to throw up even in stupidity. I know Silver Dragon who is not human. Yuki also uses the board, so that's fine. But Moyer scaffolds the walls and kicks something in the air to change its orbit. Is that Mr. Mizuki's Pinpoint Shield? More than Yuki, "Ninnin" sucks.

... Oh, this is no good. Let me slash the meat on this one. I don't even have to keep my guard. I can't, but I think I need to drop one.

Send a signal with the "Reading Tales" that Lotte had activated in advance.

Covered shooting with timing from Lotte and Sky Dragon, who were dealing with the other team rear guard. And Gardo fires a fist at the floor, causing countless floors to dance. That moment. The shadow of Moyer approaching suddenly from the shadow of the stone that danced. "inevitably" took the attack from behind it.

"Sweet."

I don't know how far Shadow is reproducing his thoughts, but he didn't think he was going to hit him, and the movement stopped for just a moment.

Grab my arm. In front of it is the gun muzzle of the < Ladine Special II Custom >, which was held in advance in order to ignore the "instant outfit" time lag. I won't take it off if it's this close range.

He was subjected to an artillery shell released at an almost zero distance and saw Moyer's body blow up and demonize. Then I blew up too, but I had nothing to do with HP and I'm fine. One for now. Now the numbers are EVEN.

"Here you go"

The sky dragon stood up to block the pursuit of the silver dragon that was blown up and added to me when I fell.... seems to have gained a numerical advantage, not Even. If you look me in the eye, I don't see Mikael Shadow. Mr. Mizuki has a rigid battle situation as he interacts with Sarjes. Lotte... doesn't seem to have finished Gobsarty One yet.

"Silver is mine.... Is the wound okay?

"It's the usual scratch. Brother, I'll take care of the fight."

"This is my sister's one-sided cage."

Immediately afterwards, an empty dragon fleshing to a silver dragon at a speed that can be played. I'll take care of that one. My opponent is Yuki. Almost two-on-one with Gardo, but you wouldn't call it cowardice. The yuki shadow you see in your sight looks like you can afford it. To guess what he thinks, I also feel like one person, especially if I fall, thinks I'll achieve my purpose.

Drop your hips and adjust your posture to Yuki's super speed.

"... come on"

Yuki approaches suddenly at a time like you read my breathing. He gently jumped over the stone shield that Gardo had deployed and put me in range from the air.

- Action Skill: Boost Dash

- Skill Chain, Sharp Sting.

From there, Yuki's shadow flies out into the air with a fierce acceleration with the hoverboard as a scaffold. Though linear, the spikes rolled out of super acceleration are already no different than bullets. I can't even fight back. Combined with Clear Hand attacks, the unharmed response achieves impossible maneuvers and speeds.

After he jumped out into the air and launched an attack on me, Yuki jumped my body onto the scaffold. At that landing site there was a hoverboard, as we aimed. A hit-and-away in a cycle where even a single attack leaves you at the next moment, boarding the board again without even putting your foot on the ground and moving fast. This doesn't even make Gard's shield work busily.

That guy, why are you getting through all that stuff? It's easy to do and show, but just riding an array, let alone doing combat action, is a tricky move. It's not unusual to jump out of there and attack, or to use inertia to move the board to a landing site after an attack. He's the only one in a different world.

"Damn, damn!!"

Things are changing. Would you like Gardo to focus on this one? Or join the Sky Dragon to bring it into a two-on-two battle? Damn, my stomach aches stabbed by Moyer Shadow.

- Passive Skill

In countless chops, my vision stains red.

Did they hit you in the eye? No. Something's activated. Similar discomfort to the feeling that the time you feel when you are ultra-concentrating is stretched. Only Yuki's shadow maintains a clear shape in his vague and hazy vision.... No, is this directing your gaze to focus solely on Yuki's appearance? I can't keep my eyes open. Is this a skill activated on Lotte opponents in… [Castle of Blood]?

Whenever Yuki's shadow moves, his appearance is blurred. The only being that produces remnants and is captured within sight slams recognition. For what is being forced to concentrate and be shown, the difference in perception grows. In addition to ultra-fast manoeuvres, they even took away the sense of distance.

Crimson Silhouette is a skill whose details are not available in the Alliance.

It was unclear under what preconditions it would be activated, so it couldn't be activated at all since the battle at [Castle of Blood]. I don't even know the details. Or maybe the Intelligence database or Dirk knows, but at least I don't know. Probably Yuki himself.

- Get away from me!

In a blurred consciousness, I can hear Lotte.... right. He's experiencing this skill up close. How did Lotte deal with that then? A hand in escape. Yes, I took a distance. It wasn't just the behavior she took after she was caught up, it was dealing with this skill, was it?

I don't know the details of Crimson Silhouette. I don't even know how to deal with it. But if it's a skill belonging to the Melee Arts tree, then the range of effectiveness should be within reach of the weapon at best. If…….

"Rah!!"

Shake the weapon loud. It's not about hitting, it's about taking distance. But that's not enough distance.

- Action Skill: Boost Dash

Then a dash towards the back. Even if I can't force myself to distance myself.... clears red distorted vision some distance away.

Under the circumstances of losing control of posture and falling as it were, I was thinking of setting up a counterattack on Yuki. If he was going for a big swing, now is the time. This is the only time possible.

"Gardo!!"

Scream. I don't know if that triggered it or if it was prepared in advance, but a stone wall stood behind me jumping away.

Step on it. Just do your best.

"Ohhhhhh!!"

- Action Skill: Strike Smash

Scaffolding the wall, a retrograde jump where you can't force yourself. Unleashes an undressed, utterly untouched strike out of the air.

He captured Yuki in the position of being truly excellent, ahead of the attack of making money if it hit him. Anyone else would have failed. But I was sure he would be there. That's why an attack was established that didn't even set a target.

Swing it down as hard as you can. And then it starts with a power slash.

"Aha!?"

- That cut the universe with no response.

They weren't avoided, but led to todome in Strike Smash. There was a look at Yuki Shadow, who was demonizing if he looked up, how good it was to hit him.

All right, then turn to the other guys for backup and waste...

"Looks like it's over. We're all safe."

Gardo said as he approached me.

Looking around, it was a scene where there was no silver dragon figure but a gentle sky dragon figure, a lotte that burned Gobsartiwan to excess, and still the clothes of the "purged" Sarjes would go back. Looking back, I'm the only one who took decent damage. I know there are issues with holding and compatibility, but I can't solve them.

"No, I didn't know even Shadow would react to Purge. It's really deep. I was excited about the unexpected reaction."

Sarjes, who approached me, seemed to have fun. If Lotte feels the crisis, she openly distance herself.

The shadow is wiped out and the door to the fourth area opens. On the other side, the door of the third area also opened, and Alexander was visible.

If you check the time, you have less than two hours left. There is still time left to explore the Fourth Area. I was able to come here while the minimum conditions were fulfilled.

"Two hours to go, even north, as always?

"That doesn't change, but I want to find a relay point in that path. Lotte, push with your head."

"... what?

What are you talking about? You look like this guy, but I'm serious. I mean, that's all I got.

"Hey, wait a minute. What do you mean... speed focused? I'm also in charge of exploration, and I can't deal with speed in a map board range."

"Exploration is minimal. I hope I don't die. No, it's OK if someone gets to the relay point, even if a few of them die."

"Then you're not stupid!? You're not going to say it later after that third area experience. You want me to just look for something I don't know where it is?

"The ideal is, but there's also confirmation of directions. You can't win and pick up as much as this. It's an event, but it's the adventurers who do their best. I can't believe you don't understand."

"Um, that's my line..."

Alexander, shut up.

"Ugh... ok. Don't complain if you fail."

"Nobody's gonna say anything."

In fact, no one's going to complain when they look around. Even members who can't possibly tell what other teams are doing are open to it.

"Oh, Sargess can be used for shields. You stay to the limit."

"I'll take care of it"

"Don't say it with that smile on your face.... Ok. Situationally I can't say no is tight..."

I'm telling you this, there's no way Lotte has any calculations at all.

I don't think this is the kind of low probability I would call a miracle either. There would also be about a 10% chance that all of them would reach an unknown relay point.

-4-

Mainly while Lotte rubbed down her nerves, the fourth area, which she relied on for an inquiry, was a realm of nightmares by telling the entity.

As of the third area, there were monsters in the infinite corridor, the 35th to 40th tier classes, which we currently have as the main battlefield, naturally, but the monsters that emerge are the 50th tier classes above them. Strength doesn't change that much, but monsters with all kinds of resistance and abnormal attacks are the main ones, and it's hard for us to cope with the lack of countermeasures. Even Gardo and Sky Dragon don't have enough firepower to kick a kick. Me and Sargess are eating too, but somehow. I'm used to fighting my opponents, and I think it's better this way.

It is no longer a level difference between Alexander and being able to participate in combat. But still, only support is ongoing. Is the ability to leverage smokescreen bullets, flash bombs, and few remaining consumed items to the limit due to the correction of the second class, < Adventurer >? No, it was in this offense that that ability was unleashed. Outreach Perhaps the most growing is this panda.

Lotte, on the other hand, has an extremely low number of mouths. Obviously over-capacity when giving instructions and reporting hazards, both of which are more than just not in office. Seriously, there were a couple of occasions where I used Sargess as a shield to do it, so I'm pretty sure it's burdensome.

It is no different from the third area in terms of structure. Let Gardo tell you, it seems that the structure is not the standard for an infinite corridor. It's not a stage-configuration that looks ahead like [Castle of Blood], it's just a special structure prepared for this event.

On the road, Sargess, who became like a borough rag, returned at all costs. Alexander, who was completely out of consumed items and visibly worn out, also returned. Gard also had a place where he could not pass because of the giant, and left after serving as his lord. Not a single guy is safe. Especially since I was always a big pinch.

In the meantime, we were delighted when we discovered the West Gate, which would be our first sight, almost time critical. Mr. Lotte was right. Along the way, I nearly collapsed off my knees when I found the south gate dedicated to my return first, but it was only shortly after that that that I was found.

In front of the gate are tons of monsters positioned like they were meant for. There seems to be a rule that you can't get close to the gate within a certain distance, but you're tightening your guard so you can block the way. He seems to have noticed us, but he's not coming.

I could also use the hand of going in with that defense if Gardo was here, but unfortunately, it's me and the three Sky Dragons and Lotte who are here. I can't use that hand.

'You don't have to dive the gate. If anyone touches it, they'll sign up for it. "

Tiglare across the comms, too, is desperate to know what's going on. Registration conditions are easy but hard in view of the situation. Already, I'm taking my limits as a force. Too much blood has been shed so far. No HP, so no self-healing, no busy work, and a few broken bones. It's hard to breathe. Here, we'll just have to hope for both of us.

... If that's not good enough, I guess I'm in the mood for The Hunger Storm Beast.

"Yes, now, but, hey, do you really do it?

"... Mr. Watanabe is the limit. I'll do everything I can to cover you, so be prepared."

The operation to be taken is extremely simple, with Lotte touching the penetrating gate with all her might and returning. Sky Dragon is our backup.

"Nan Wu San!!"

Lotte flies out like a bullet letting "Blackwing Sho" unfold as she vomits words that don't look like vampires.

It shouldn't work such as control of manoeuvres just because I was forced to pop up by the magic of the Sky Dragon. More than one Sky Dragon fan flies faster than that Lotte flight. That number is six. It's a universal fan that disables magic if you touch it, and vanishes the benefits of magic aids if you pierce it. By the way, if you're going to hit Lotte by mistake, "Blackwing Sho" disappears and slips, it's a game overcourse. He won't be feeling alive.

Three fans stopped the magic of ranged attacks. He attacked me directly. Played one hand. One thing stopped me from moving before I acted. The one thing that hit and blew up. Can you do that?

But not enough. There's no more in front of Lotte.

"Hey so much!!"

In such a sudden acceleration that he could not move, it was a kick that Lotte let go with his voice absurd. A kick with no mistake turns the track to the distance of whether to touch the critical gate or not.

"Registered! Return!! '

"Lotte ah!! Back!!"

Communicating Tiglare's directive, Lotte disappeared whether he had returned or not. I was crashing into the wall at the end, but you must be sweet. Me and Sky Dragon are returning just like that. If you think about the time limit, you have the hand of going back to the South Gate, which was on the way, but you can't afford that.

Tomorrow's start starts at a relay point about a third north of this fourth area. It's a strategic policy that has enough to cross, but now we've managed to stay on the road to reaching the Fifth Area. Keys are required for use, but can be purchased even if slightly reduced. I'm not going to spare a score there.

"Ugh..."

[Base] In the conference room, Lotte was poking smoke out of his head.

They summoned their experiences, Werner's habits, and general knowledge of dungeon construction to pop up their destination. I can't help it. Though perhaps the toughest was the last bullet lotte.

"Let's get you a drink. You want some moyer juice or something?

"I don't need that suspicious stuff"

I'm sure it's suspicious, but even though they say it's a drink we all loved in the infinite training of hell. It was very popular in many ways.

"But you guys are outrageous. As one of the four gods, no one expected to reach the fourth area on the second day. Plus, a third of it comes with a trampled omelet."

"Well, I'd like to go a little more cautiously, but the situation won't let me.... not enough points yet."

"I must have made a lot of money... isn't this enough?"

In fact, if you only looked at the scores, you wouldn't be making that much money. Only the score of the monster crusade could be out of the group, but even that leaves me uneasy considering the results of day one.

Confident is... about the fastest reaching bonus in Area IV?

"Lotte, you can go back to your room and sleep. I think the first half of tomorrow will be similar."

"... I knew you did?

"Less need to read the creator's thoughts for what the area boss's location can guess, but still"

"Damn, I want you to give me a break for rookie abuse. I think I'll even remember Alexander and his weird empathy."

Neither is abusive. How much do you expect?

"It's similar to what you expected from adventurers in the Monster Age. Do it because you can."

"... mah. Yeah, I knew. Rather, much healthier than I imagined.... go to sleep. Wake me up before the score announcement."

That said, Lotte walked to the room assigned to herself in a powerless foothold.

"... I know about the synopsis, but you guys have a weird relationship too"

"He was put to the test to use whatever stuff he could use to be an adventurer above standard. Then you'll be pissed off by the boss if you don't summon the hands of vampires and pandas and rock giants and dragons and dms this time around."

"I can understand the idea, but the hand I borrow is a little more... couldn't you do something about it?

Shit. This is still combatively excellent or not. If it means you don't have a legitimate presence, it doesn't change against any other team.

"I don't have a choice because the borrowing side is the least legitimate"

Gard pinched his mouth as he watched outside the window.... I thought you were asleep because it's quiet, but you don't need it.

"I thought you were sane when I heard you were going into the clan, but you're an interesting guy. Evaluate it around there. You're in the clan?

"No, I didn't know you were busy until you asked me out. Especially since we fought together in this way our faces as people and adventurers. Only part of the ex-ante judgment material is that the disciple seems to be a true adventurer right now, so I'm guessing his representative isn't."

Tilia is right......? Well, if you look at me as an adventurer... no, but I have a weakness. I don't know if they appreciate me being the leader of weird freaks, but it's out of my mind that I'm not legitimate.

"If you're just going to do it with him and the adventurer, isn't it acceptable if even sexuality is accepted? He's good at what he does."

"I don't know if you realize it or pretend you don't, but that can't be all he's got."

…………

... To be honest, I didn't expect you to wave that story from the Gard side.

I'm aware of it. There have been many unnatural points so far. Absolutely unnatural among them is skill.

"I don't know what happened in the years I wasn't seeing you. But words and deeds are still unnatural, and more importantly..."

"Playback."

"... right. Array is not the kind of skill acquired by a legitimate human being. Even though there are exceptions like the Chimera guy or the rookie Gobsartiwan, it wouldn't be decent at the point where the reference example is those two. On the contrary, the" physical correction "entanglement skills were non-existent when Washi taught them. There will also be class corrections, but it is hard to believe that you have mastered them alone"

There are other ways, oddly enough, to be a shield. You look like you're in a hurry to die again in a different way than Sargess.

Maybe I'm the one who feels that the most. An act in [Castle of Blood]. Ravah Golem's reaction when he escaped from Lava Bullet also seemed to me to regret not dying.

"There's no specificity in his origins, so you can easily tell if you want to find out... honestly, I'm worried about whether I can step in. This could be weird baggage, but can I ask for it, Clanmaster?"

"Oh, now"

Because we have a lot of guys who bore spectacular backgrounds in vain.... including me.

"... I'm not following the story, is that about the oak mausoleum aspirations in the example?

"The sexuality has long been. Why do you have such a big hobby? I was really freaked out when they showed me a labyrinth city porn magazine in the village."

"I'll give it to the train magazine, too, but I don't think my hobbies will suit me. I don't want to come near you."

We don't even have a guy around here who understands the mental structure.

On the second day, the six of us put together and ran out of time, so we have extra time, including a break.

Sudden non-public information penalties and the like may be possible, but no information from another team will come in until the day changes.

"What do you say? Try the end of two days."

So I tried to talk to Sky Dragon, who was outside [the base], even trying to do it in a beginner, cross-world interaction.

I'm moving my body while twisting my neck, not because of gymnastics after exercise or anything, but simply because I don't know how to move my body well. It looks like a flowing body technique, but the movement contains some clutter. I'm not an expert, so I don't know if I just saw it.

"That's quite different from what I thought it would be"

"I knew you weren't. Seems like Xuanlong was imagining something very experimental."

Not like [Castle of Blood], which was a trial. Hard, but somewhere with a strong attractive element. Maybe some parts of Werner designed to entertain you based on your original purpose. It is also possible that it was a clap out for Xuanlong, who wanted to try hard on people's bodies.

"I just think that kid's happy with it, too. Maybe we'll be happy to do whatever it takes."

"Why not... so different from the original world"

"These adventurers and us hardly match anything but the purpose of the Infinite Corridor Attack. The infinite corridor is also a training ground for us young dragons to serve until level 100."

Treat it like a training ground just to be strong. The underlying meaning is the same. I don't know what, but the stance seems pretty different.

"The young dragon is basically in a downloading phase, so we won't even fight together. Face-to-face with other dragons is also about regular mock warfare. As hard as it may be to imagine, even the three of us had a rare relationship to exchange words."

"Enough to make a meal match, so at least three of them looked like friendly sisters and brothers, though"

"Because there's no such thing as that rice over there. Without things and civilizations, there will naturally be no reward. Every once in a while, the best reward was to give your mother a voice."

I get it, but you're living a stoic life. It still sounds better in Berenvar's world where he was throwing in criminals instead of torture.

"You weren't dissatisfied with your life like that?... No, it's not like it disparages the world over there"

"If you don't know, you can't even create a desire. That's what's natural. Your mother seemed to realize that was the problem, but she didn't have a vision ahead of her."

... is that so too? I lived in a bad environment because I didn't know the world that was out there. In my case, I even suffered because of my weirdly previous life knowledge, but that's close to what happened in my dreams. Especially since the villagers who were busily incapable of survival managed to live in large part because they didn't know the outside world.

The Emperor Dragon is the only one experiencing the civilization of the Old World. Maybe there was something about our own kids not thinking about it and continuing to work out like machines. Because of the characteristic that something new could not be created, it would have been difficult to open it.

"The Dungeon Master, the Four Gods, and Watanabe seem to think hard, but this cross-world interaction is already a success from our side at the very beginning. We have an uninterrupted benefit just because we have our own civilisation and have been able to come into contact with the person on whom the dialogue is to be established. It's what drives the stalled world and energizes us."

How bad was the world? I'm quite anxious to talk about the possibility of going ahead.

If you go and no one talks to you...... no, there is no such thing as an interest in the unknown? The Sky Dragons are friendly.

"Have you heard about us going to that world over there?

"Yeah, you're welcome then.... Um, there's really nothing to expect."

"... excavation of ancient ruins or something"

"I'll help you if you're interested.... Do you have one?

Just saying, I'm not that interested. I'm sure a proper look will give you some results, but that won't be my job. Wouldn't you work hard around the dilk?

"Trying the infinite corridor over there doesn't seem very interesting. Another dungeon or something?

"There is only an infinite corridor. Your mother may not know how to create another dungeon like this."

Seriously, it doesn't look like anything. It would bring in water and food, and measures would be needed because it would not be an environment where humans could survive. It would be bad for Nori to travel abroad.... Should I be prepared for an undisclosed planetary exploration level?

"There seems to be a strong guy, so it seems good to take someone from a senior adventurer"

"Oh, that's good. It's a little too different from the Dungeon Master and Master Alain, but if you're an advanced adventurer I've heard about, your brothers are going to be able to make a fruitful mock fight. For example, Erica and I met at the shrine. You're strong."

"Erica... I don't think I can"

I call myself an S-rank adventurer, but I don't know who I am.... But you felt strong.

"In a few months, the Infinite Corridor 100O layer will also be breached, so maybe we can call out to the first-tier advanced ranks there. Then it's going to be a conversation about whether I need it."

"I don't have that"

It was a word I said in a mild joke, but it was determined with a serious look.

"Knowing civilization and friendly interaction is of course important, but your presence, which can be comrades in a true sense, is more important than that. Especially for your mother."

"Because things with the same enemies are one another?

"Yes. This is how I actually talk to Watanabe, and I feel strongly and intimately like my mother somewhere"

"Are you saying there's a part of you that thinks so as a daughter? Where?"

When asked so, Sky Dragon thinks a little. Maybe I can't put a good impression into words. Doesn't look like it. I don't care what they say about looking like that moon-sized dragon on the outside.

After a few moments, he approached us, as if the point had been made.

"Right here."

It was my chest I pointed at with a fan.

"Heart, presence or absence of what is held in the core. The fundamental thing is negative feelings for our enemies, but what comes out of it is a strong and intense passion."

I see, that's understandable. Apart from being good or bad, me and the Imperial Dragon are on the same footing. It would also depend on the similarity of what is produced from it.

"... I can understand, but I don't think they're buying it. When you say I'm on par with Wong Long, that's different."

It is the only being with the potential to destroy malice that has the Prisoner of Cause and Effect. That's good.

But I'm not the only one who's planted that curse. So does the Imperial Dragon himself, and I guess there's more to the world than us. Comparing me to the Imperial Dragon makes a difference, and the scale is too big to even grasp the sense of distance to catch up with a moon-sized dragon. The only thing that's the same at the moment, maybe, is what Sky Dragon calls passion.

"But you're not going to leave everything to your mother, are you?

"That's... right"

Even if the Imperial Dragon tells you to leave the rest to retire, you can never snort.

I can't leave it to people because I don't have the strength... It's unacceptable. I can't give in. I'm the one who's gonna kill him. No matter how far away you are, you can't stop walking.

"That will is of the utmost importance, something we cannot have. Even if we can be your mother's hands and feet, we can't be your mother herself. You're the only one who stands side by side with your mother in a true way."

Are you saying that it is the qualifications we cannot possess, the will that comes out of our only negative passion for malice, and that our abilities are second only?

"What if, like your mother, you're going to be the head of a dragon? You can follow countless dragons as your hands and your feet to the infinite corridor."

"That's... whatever it is, it's just absurd"

Helping me out of the dragon's position won't be a problem, but standing on top of it is too much of a leap.

It's not like a labyrinth city backs up and takes over some small country. You literally mean carry the whole world.

"Really? I'm qualified, and your mother will be happy. It seems like a good idea, even though I said it myself."

"Don't be impotent. Are you saying that even if you marry the Emperor Dragon, you should be taken in by the clan?

"... your mother is a little impossible. In that case, it's the shortest way to make a deal with me, your mother's rightful successor."

"A contract... what are you talking about, all of a sudden? Joke......"

And, unexpectedly, the sky dragon approaches us. Oh, that, that's close.

Soft feeling on the lips. What is this, what's the situation? Kissed?

"I'm not kidding, and I think Mr. Watanabe is the preferred person to describe it this way."

Even if you let your face go, that distance is still close.

"Ah... no, the... I think I'm making a lot of mistakes... wait a minute, I'm confused"

Be cool. Be cool, Watanabe Tsuna. Don't be confused. Remember that feeling better. It's a waste. Save the memories of a few seconds ago in quarantine.

Damn, I wouldn't have felt more comfortable if I'd known beforehand... and no, it's not... from the other side. So it doesn't seem like a problem, but I guess this is okay. On second thought, Sky Dragon didn't even know how to kiss until a few days ago...... I don't know what this means.

"Uh, Mr. Sky Dragon.... you know what kissing means?

"I asked Mr Lotte, but this seems to be a dear way of expressing it. If it's such a simple thing to describe, don't say anything about rewarding an event."

I knew there was something wrong with you. That makes sense, but I guess Lotte explained it as a dear expression without thinking deeply.

"... did you have a slight problem? Like I was doing it the wrong way."

"No problem. No!!"

I want to do anything as many times as it makes no sense.

"... no problem, but kissing anyone or him because he's friendly is not a good idea considering it as intercultural interaction. Especially against men. It's very bad. Better ask Lotte again for proper meaning and procedure. This reward isn't as light as it is now, it's a more intense version."

"Intense?... So that's when you take first place tomorrow. Will this still lead to a little willingness?

"Connect. Connect. With this momentum, I might take a personal MVP tomorrow."

"I'll go get that, so no."

... That's no good. I don't know the criteria.

But first place, I'm gonna stick around and pick it up. My tension is Max for the first easy reward I've had in a long time.

But if Mr. Lotte had given a proper, deeper explanation, he would have done more amazing things by now. Why are you keeping it like this?

No, but you just have to win. If you win, Nuronuro's not a problem at all.

"By the way, if it's not good for men, is it not a problem for women?"

"... I don't know about that world, but it's not that much of a problem."

Some people might do that to their same-sex friends if they weren't deep ones, but I'm not too familiar with them. The reference exhibition is about a lily comic book at best. Some people like Mr. Lehne, who affirms that even women have no problems with each other, would be extremely few. At least, it's better pictorially than guys.

"Then you'll be practicing for them tomorrow, Mr. Lotte"

"Huh..."

The head that was tempered turned completely white with that one word.

Late that night at 11: 30. When I picked up Lotte, who wouldn't show up in the conference room before the announcement of the results for the second day, there was a look of Lotte in the private room with a bright red face and a head.

"Aww, wow..."

... Have you done the thicker one? This is what happens because I don't explain it properly.

-5-

In the meantime, I forgive the sudden self-loss of Lotte, and on the surface it is the second day of the Lisarto announcement where I have restored calm.

"... Mr. Lotte, why are you moving places?... Oh, nothing."

Pointing out that Lotte's sitting position was different from the previous one, he was stared at. Let's keep it good because you can't see how you cared about Sky Dragon even when the distance is away.... I wonder if tomorrow's collaboration will be okay.

"Well done. Despite all the handedness, I think it turned out better than I imagined."

Ahead of the announcement, Tiglare says the exact same line as yesterday, but at this time, it sounds like a completely different meaning.

"Honestly, I feel like I'm doing more than I imagined... What about there, Watanabe Tsunami? You sound pessimistic, but tell me where they're all gathered."

"As it stands, it feels like a piece of neck skin is connected. I still have enough eyes to win."

"... eh, is it such a prediction to do all that?

There's no reduction and the minimum is clear, so it's not on schedule. Rather, it's enough to spare a little.

Regarding today's results, however, I wonder if my personal grades will feel similar to day one as a whole.

"As it were, okay. Shall I look at the evaluation before I think about it?"

…………

As on day one, the meeting room quieted down. There's a part of me that I really want to get into, but let's settle down here and rate it one by one.

Regardless of the breakdown, it is generally a range of expectations in terms of scores and rankings earned.

For the second day in a row, it is Serafina who has beaten the overall MVP and the monster crusade MVP. Although he has ceded the special area controlled MVP to Berenvar, he has scored higher than day one. Even though it is still a lower rank, it is still unusual to be first in a monster crusade that leads directly to battle. Even though the points earned at the party are dispersed, it's obviously smaller than us crusading high point monsters and area bosses... probably acting alone. Maybe Berenvar too.

Moyer is similarly a two-time MVP in untracking, but the crate collection seems to have lagged behind Borg. This does not seem to be a stand-alone result but one supported by Ladine in the back. The same would apply to map exploration. Didn't you even run around on a route that streamlined the area explored in advance by worms?

The three newly occurring damage bonuses appear to be the maximum damage inflicted over a period of time and the total bonuses incurred during the event. There is nothing particularly wrong with the bonus of dealing damage. I don't know what you did and earned the damage, but Berenvar wouldn't be surprised to have the means to do that, and Serafina would be a planned harmony if she saw how active she had been so far. Rather concerned is the Gobsarty One, which has earned a total damage bonus. If that's all the damage, why isn't he dead?

There has also been a change in ranking. Team B, which was number one in the bluff, has been pulled out by Team C in overall order. The loss of two fatalities has been reduced, but that would mean that the C team made a difference because of their overall strength. Originally, I felt like a slow starter to see the team's colors, so the third day could leap even further.

There is no doubt that yesterday's results caused the deaths of these two teams. As expected, I came here to score by taking risks out of sight. Since there are many points added compared to the reduction due to death, it is a tough place for us not to go wrong with that policy either.... Something tells me that only Tilia has encountered orcs regardless of their thoughts.

The D-team in question is fourth as well as on day one. But the difference between us in third place is clearly shrinking... or almost no difference. If you just look at the points you beat out on the second day alone, you're in first place out of the C team that made the big leap. You can assume that the penalty for non-public information on the first day has almost disappeared. At this pace, we could even pull out the top team.

Map information is private outside of ours. We don't find out the route, it doesn't hurt or itch, but I guess the other teams are towing each other. Will you buy it anyway?

... and it is the penalties that make the least sense. Why don't the Four Gods take the penalty?

"I don't know the details, but it looks like Norg's guy was messing with you. He also seems to be involved in the D team's release penalty, which was on day one. From now on, Elsel will take over for Team D."

So you're saying yesterday's penalty wasn't taken at Dirk's will? I don't think there's anything involved.

"Well, I guess you induced me to get the information out because it was going to be interesting or something. I'm good at stirring things up."

"You're good at inciting... you're like Terawaros"

"... he's the boss of Terawaros. We were born later, but organizationally, we mean our direct superiors."

"What organization? I've never heard that Durahan belongs to anything but a guild..."

Seems like an organization Lotte doesn't even know about. No way, an illegal underground organization? Thoughtful in labyrinth cities, but understandable if executives are involved.

"'Commission for the Promotion of Strategy'. A heel role that directs adventurers from the negative side.... it serves to stir up adventurers, create pawnshop mechanisms, and rock the anti-bone spirit anyway. You don't know most guys because they're not acting out of place either. It's not private, but don't tell me."

It's amazing how that image is reversed just because that Durahan belongs, even though it sounds like a legitimate organization when you ask only the name. Terawaros hasn't been futile either.... No, I can't defend it because it looks like it would be great fun and I don't want to.

"If it's on the front side that Werner's guy gives a test from the front, or adjusts his rewards and environment to pull the adventurer up from the top, it's the role behind it. There's no way Dirk, who belongs to the Intelligence Agency, didn't know about the Tactical Promotion Commission, but he must have created a situation where he couldn't pull it off."

If you ask me, he's not that good with his mouth. For example, he would be presented with pros and cons, and if the pros were even slightly won, he would have a hand. Like talking about marriage.

"It's just that they don't like doing it either. They're the ones who were originally good at that, so they don't need to change their perception. Clearly, for what you're forgiving and acting, you're malicious and tacky. I don't think you have to forgive him, especially if he's directly damaged."

I don't think the Lostmen will forgive me for explaining it.

"Well, I don't know if it's Dirk or the fire god Noag, which thoughts, but leaving the veracity of the mastermind aside doesn't change the situation. C and D were moving fast, but that went pretty well as expected.... you'd have lost if you hadn't ridden? Mr. Lotte."

"... right. I just don't want to admit it as a burden. There's not a single team that's attacking normally."

I guess not. And the last day is waiting for an even more bizarre development. Because if I take safety precautions, I lose.

There are hands that dare to take safety precautions because there is a chance that other teams will be massively bombed, but they're not going to do it anywhere. It doesn't even suit my sexuality.

"You wanted to make a situation where you didn't know which team was going to win by the time you finally got your last day. Brawl as a result. With this flow, no team can pull off, even though it is an event. The rest will be a sprint battle about how far to cross the rope without fail."

"C-Team seems to have some room, though."

"It's obvious that's not the safe zone. I thought it might be my last day, so maybe I'm in a hurry."

Once you've consolidated your last day policy, you can't help but be alert to any more teams. Since the results of the second day changed within the expected range, there was no change in policy. Tomorrow we're just going to run for the fifth area.

"It's nice to feel that this MVP is rated active, isn't it? Silver and Xuan are impudent, and can't you manage to put my name on the last day or so?"

"I don't know if there's a structure-breaking MVP or something"

I still feel that Sky Dragon is uneven somewhere, but it would be nice to be motivated. The problem is that we don't have an MVP that we can target.... Depends on the fifth area. Depending on the time available, maybe a monster crusade MVP can be targeted

Gardo would certainly be at the top when it comes to breaking things. Columns, ceilings, floors, passageways?

"Anything from the rep for the last day? You know, encouragement."

"Ah, my God, I don't know how to predict expansion anymore, but I've done this so far, so win. Whatever it is, take first place."

"That confirms Deep Kiss, but as for Mr. Tiglare, OK what?

"... oh, whoa!! Fine, I'll do one or two kisses or whatever!

... I guess you didn't forget.

Obviously, I can't hide the upset, but I don't think I'm going to be rebelled for this. It is the opposite of the sky dragon, which has kissed almost men and women without responding to it.

When I saw Chilari and Sky Dragon, my eyes met. Instead of shy bareback, I laugh kusly without even trying to distract myself.... Hmmm, this feeling of being deceived. I need to smother you with this tongue technique I worked out for you.

With aspirations similar to such a sense of purpose in our hearts, our event marks its final day.
