You have to be strong.

The more I deserve that kid, the more I stand next to him and I don't take a pull, the less I look in line, the more I can make a catch with him.

I have to be strong. [M]

After that, I went back to my room and cried heavily, rambling around to my own much impudence, and at the end of the day, self-loathing passed to nausea, spitting out everything in my stomach - that was the conclusion I had arrived at.

Goodbye was such a lie.

I absolutely hated saying goodbye.

I knew I wanted to be with Hannu.

But now it's also true that I don't match her. [M]

Chig hugs are a good place to go, too, with the actual gods with lots of deductions and the enhancers of haters. It's like we're not talking.

So I must be strong. [M] And we have to prove its strength within the explorer industry.

Unless you do, I don't deserve to stand next to her. [M]

If you have a point to aim for, think about what you need to do to get there.

What can we do to be strong?

That's easy. My master taught me a long time ago.

Strength and kindness are the only things you can grasp ahead of the battle.

Late in the night, when the date had just changed, I left the room and turned to Lunatic Babel.

Even if I stayed in my room like that, I wasn't sure I could sleep very well. The flames of fierceness scorching through my body never subsided, and if I stayed still, the stress would have made my head manageable.

Black Emperor Steel Xuan on back, White Empire Silver Tiger on left side, usual combat gear. Storage has been packed with commonly used tools.

I'll do it.

If you can only be strong by fighting, I'll fight you anyway.

I swear to my heart, looking up at the tower that stretches my body wide toward the moon that floats in the sky.

I won't let anyone call me "Bochi Hancer" in my hipster anymore -.

Upon arrival at Lunatic Babel, I thought for a moment before moving to the 196th level in one of the central elevators.

Lunatic Babel is an extremely easy place to explore among the world's ruins.

Anyway, with some exceptions, the basic structure is the same for every layer. Compared to a natural cave like the Chiatic Caban I used to be - except for the difficulty of fighting SB - Explore can be very easy.

Naturally, the Rarely Remaining Relics (Artifacts) inside the ruins will also be the fastest winners. Regardless, there are traps, etc., so it cannot be said to be a no-risk, but there are a few Explorers after this because some Artifacts are occasionally convenient or expensive.

Yesterday, Hannu - and I - destroyed a 197 layer gatekeeper, so security protection is now released up to 1988 layers, making it possible to explore.

However, the 197 layer was cleared without much exploration, and since the 198 layer had just been liberated, it was likely that there were people exploring the Relics even in the middle of the night.

That's why I thought 196 layers would be the best way to be as close to the front line as possible and less popular in time.

The 196th floor.

Me and Hannu are on the front line for the first time together. Speaking of which, I also met that sword lady, Mr. Villey, here.

Exploration would have been exhausted here - the prediction was in the middle, and beyond the open elevator, there was just a quiet space.

Silence that sounds loud even in the footsteps of the Combat Boot. It's a really peaceful landscape if you're just looking at it, but it's not.

If you step out of the safe zone, it's a battlefield where Death pushes you from all directions.

Before Hannu and I met, I was rolling between layers 100 and 130, taking too many safety margins to explore. Because SBs around here could afford to fight without having to use a physical enhancement support formula.

Never mistake yourself for your length, that's the trick to exploring - that was the teachings of my grandfather, who is my master.

Until today, I've thought everything my master taught me was right. So from this other person's point of view, I've kept my monstrous surgical control abilities secret, and I've never risked them in Explore.

But.

That's not all you can do anymore. I have faithfully adhered to my master's teachings, and so have I. Calculating from that history, I'm also on the extension line from "Me Now" to "Me of the Future".

I'm sure that's because in "I" you can stand next to Hannu, there will never be.

From now on, we have to be both impotent and impotent.

When I made Explorer friends one day, it was my little dream to throw a party and come to the front line. So even though I was spoiled for the middle layer, I never failed to gather information on the SB that appeared on the front line.

I can't believe that helps in this way now.

"- Ha, ha, ha, ha!

The first bull with pitch-black skin - Stoneka. Strike and slay its metallic flesh, which storms with lightning, with the force fortified by Kurokusen and Strength.

Where I had pushed in with tremendous momentum, I swing black Xuan and hit the counter as I dodged it on the side steps, so Stoneka was cut in two straight upside down, as if even bamboo were to be broken.

"PPPRRRRRRRRR -!"

By the time the disconnect sounds electronically and the activity stops (shuts down), the next Stoneka is rushing this way.

The first to show up was the Stoneka herd. The Demon Bull, who specializes in intense advances (charges), is a relatively easy opponent to assemble, but only comes with a very simple attack if you ignore the power.

Except if it's a stand-alone story.

"PPPPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

"Scutum!

A second body slammed into me after shaking off Kurokusen and falling ill, with a surgical shield placed on my left hand. At the moment of the clash, a paralyzing impact struck his entire body to the true point of the bone, but he managed to deflect Stoneka's clash to the left.

"PUUURRRRRR!" "PRRRRRRYYYY!

but there comes a third or fourth stone ca thrust.

"- Huh!"

The Stonecakes, who popped twelve at a time, make use of the wide hallway for an uninterrupted assault while turning the rotation.

I hear that even heavily armed warriors can't stand up for a while if they eat even once because their bodies are lightning on top of the heavy. On a day like mine, it's irreversible. [M]

"Holy crap...... whoa!

Overlay the Strength Rapid Protection, which has already been hung twice, one more time to increase the enhancement factor. That's eight times the enhancement factor.

Tuning my consciousness into the senses of a radically changing body, I kicked the floor. At the same time,

"- [Drillbreak] Huh!

Launch one of the few swordsmanship ceremonies I have installed in SEAL. As the purple blue Photon Blood wears the black Xuan and unfolds into the shape of a closed umbrella, it begins to spin violently, as the name suggests.

The swordsmanship ceremony "Drill Break" is the basic technique of a rushing attack, but it is simply versatile and cannot be made foolish. The Attack Enhancement Factor is 1.2 times higher.

"So yahhhhhhhhh!

The technique follows my movements to get the optimal form, and Photon Blood ejects from his back to accelerate his entire body. Black Xuan, who turned into a shining drill, protruded directly in front of him and flew through the air with a bullet.

Eyes in the eye, teeth in the teeth, assault!

"PR -!?"

He pierced the remaining ten monolithic stone kas coming towards him with a number of pearls connected in an instant and kicked them all at once.

Landing while sliding the bottom of the boot. As there is no more Stoneka left and regresses to the component, if you realize it, there are new signs around you.

Apparently, the battle now provoked another pop of SB.

What showed up was a bunch of two-headed demon dogs with silver body hair - Ortros. Compared to Stoneka, the size is small at a time, but the number is high instead. Visually confirmed, a total of eighteen.

"Ha... Ha... Okay, come on!

Extreme tension kept me breathing, but I still can afford my strength and Photon Blood. I set up Black Xuan and was slashed to the nearest Ortros.

"Ahhhhhh!

"PPPPPPPPPPRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I wave my sword with selflessness and slaughter the SB one after the other. Yes, I can fight fine on this front line, even with my support ceremony. We can fight more than just each other in front of a bunch of SBs.

Nevertheless, the very way I fought still sucked. The center of the battlefield becomes more and more uneven due to the inability to handle the reinforced forces in the support technique and the many wasted movements. Because of that, by the time the battle is over, the next SB will pop again.

Nue will be next in Ortolos. Griffon is next on Nue.

Fight death without rest with the monsters who embody and strike without time to breathe.

While we're doing this, time is running out. As I fought to escape half the reality, I finally didn't realize that Triminito, the effect time of the support technique, had passed.

Sudden physical changes.

――

The force that was raising my physical abilities to eight times the bottom disappeared, and all of a sudden the image and actual movement in my head snapped, gakun, and so forth. But there's no way the inertia that's been on my whole body until then will go away. There was no way for me to fight that when I was a eighth. [M]

- Shit......!?

Totally mismanipulated the body. Unsurprisingly disfigured, twitched, and fell. He was moving at high speed, so he was beaten to the floor with great momentum, bouncing. After all, I made three dimensional spins in the air while jumping many times and crashing from back to wall.

"- Ha ha...!

The impact of the traffic accident level stuck my breath, and for a moment, my consciousness flew away.

Gravity pulls me down and falls to the floor. I ate up my teeth and managed to stop my consciousness. If you pass out as many 'NPK' newcomers as you can right now, you have no life. There are still SBs after me. [M]

"Damn... Damn...!

Miraculously I didn't let go of Black Xuan instead of my wand and got up and activated "Heels", "Strength", "Rapid", "Protection" and "Force Boost" with my left hand.

I might have been in a bit too much shape. This is why the support ceremony is at stake. A body that was moving at high output suddenly reverts back to normal. The fallout is too intense, and sometimes I blow myself up like I'm supposed to be used to. If you make a mistake, it's a catastrophe that can also lead to death.

That's not all. After all, supportive techniques - especially physical strengthening systems - are fundamentally inconvenient substitutes. Just getting more agility with Rapid isn't enough muscle to control it. Strengthen it with Strength to aid it, and now the muscle fibers scream because they can't withstand the load. Therefore, "protection" is required to further reinforce it.

That's why I always use these three together. If we do not use these in a balanced manner, it will be more difficult to control the flesh and we will not be able to move properly. If you are a person with concurrent surgery, these three alone will drain about a third of the total amount of Photon Blood. With three minitos in effect, you can only fight about ten minitos after all. That alone doesn't collect a lot of components and I can't eat them. That's why enhancers are repelled.

But I only have [this]. [M] My ability to operate is less than a hundredth of the average Explorer, and the arm of a sword is no big deal.

The only stunt is to use extraordinary surgical control capabilities to handle multiple surgical formulas simultaneously. Just that.

That's why I have to hone this stunt. To be strong. Hannu and to be friends in the true sense.

I put Kurokusen in my sheath, and instead I pull out the side of my hip, the white tiger. From here on out, it's special training to fight using attack techniques as well. One hand should always be available.

"- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Resume the battle between the remaining five Nues and the three Griffons. I only install the basic attack technique, but with the Force Boost, I can give it a lot of power. Enough for restraint.

At the same time as being slashed by a nearby nue,

"" Freibom "" Air Ripper "" Bolt Stake "-!"

While loading the attack technique, this time fight with due regard for the timing of the release of the support technique.

Three assault techniques were fired at by three griffons in a remote location. Bombings, wind blades and piles of lightning frustrate the feet of each griffon. He then loaded the white tiger on his right hand with a swordsmanship ceremony and rolled it out for the nue in front of him.

"- [Drillbreak] Huh!

I'll make you stronger.

Absolutely, you have to be strong!

Then, how much time would you have spent fighting?

The number of SBs that have been deactivated has also stopped counting along the way.

Both can be seen from SEAL's built-in clock and component acquisition logs, but there's nowhere to afford that.

Now in front of me is an SB very similar to the Ortolos that appeared earlier - Cerberus, a pitch-black demon dog with three heads. That's twenty bodies.

At this time, there was finally a second accident.

He was too desperate to swallow the flames, frozen air, and thunderbolts emanating from the mouths of each of Cerberus, and he lost track of time.

For a moment, the force that was pulling up to sixteen times, heh, vanished. Fortunately during my misfortune, or just when I was stopping, I did not fall, as I had done earlier. However,

……

What's the matter? The madness of body sensation occurs. I was unconscious for a moment. [M] That too, in the midst of melee combat.

Less than a second. But it turned out to be too deadly.

"PPPRRRRRRRYYYY!"

Perception returned to normal at the same time as the electron sound of Cerberus was heard from all sides. But that was helpless and too late.

By the time I realized it, two Cerberus were flying towards me from left to right.

First, he chewed his left arm off every sleeve of his battle jacket.

Subsequently, he was burned, frozen and chewed up his right arm gripping the white tiger.

"Ah -?"

Without knowing, I leak my dumb voice when I lose both arms in an instant. Strange, I didn't feel any pain. I was just surprised. My head was empty, but the blank suddenly scared me, and I turned my throat and shouted.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Yes, regenerate the missing arm in Recovery - I can't, [I don't have a finger right now]. So what am I supposed to do? What can you do?

- I can't do anything.

Despair beats me hard.

――……

"PRPRPRPRPRPRRRRRRRRYYYYYYY!"

Cerberus and the others roared in unison, as if to raise the victory. A tall electronic sound shivers the atmosphere.

Fear clasps my throat and stops me from screaming. Awesome chills, like cold hands stroking all over your body like ice.

"-... Oh, that... oh, that's crazy..."

I didn't know, I fluttered back and eventually put my back on the wall, zeroing a bump and purple blue Photon Blood from both arms.

I don't believe it. Shake your head to deny the status quo you don't understand.

"... come on... no, this..."

The eyes of Cerberus and the others who look to me. That's the sight of a reaper who got right there. I lost both arms, no more weapons, no more technique, no more winning eyes.

Die.

In this situation, it was a matter of decision.

"Why...? Why...?

With a trembling voice, he speaks to no one more questions now.

Die - Are you sure you want to die, me? In a place like this? At this time?

Like this... like this?

So light?

"- Huh!"

I don't like that! I absolutely don't like that! I haven't done anything yet! I didn't even apologize to Hanu! We haven't made up, and we haven't even gone back to being friends!

I can't believe I'm dying in a place like this, in this state, with this feeling - I absolutely don't like it!

But I just prayed desperately eating my teeth, and there's no way that help could come.

"PPPRRRRRYYYY!"

The whole Cerberus, who was responsible for stabbing the stop, strained his limbs and jumped. Three mouths open the jaw gate at the same time, stripping out the fierce fangs and attacking me.

The blow that sets the end of your life looms relentlessly.

Really, so far, is it? Is this how you die, and I'm done? - No, you can't! I still have to live! Think, turn your head to survive - think, think, think, think, think until the last moment!

Extreme concentration makes the passage of time feel slow because of being stood in the abyss of death. Slowly, but steadily, with my eyes closing in on my fangs, I rush my thoughts desperately. You can handle ten procedures at a time, think about ten at a time!

The eyes are visible, the ears are audible, the skin feels, the nose can smell, there are no hands, there are shoulders, there are breasts and bellies, there are backs, there are legs - what can be used in this. Run and run. - No, I can't. I'm surrounded. It's no use hitting me. I get attacked by other demon dogs. Fight with a kick - Jilli Poor is what I'm talking about. Use a surgical ceremony - so how. Why can't I use it in the first place - because I don't have any fingers. Why can't you do it without your fingers - you don't remember, because your master said so.

'Rug, your surgical control skills are broken, so why don't you use your fingers, not your hands? It would be sufficient if we could use as many as ten of them at a time. Besides, I can hide your icon just by gripping it in. That power can never be swayed by others. "

No, that shouldn't mean use your fingers, it shouldn't mean you can't use them unless you're a finger - where else would you say to use a surgical formula besides your finger? Remember Miss Sword Villy, she was using it on her back - her back? Such a clever thing should be able to imitate the appearance - if you can't, you die. Besides, what's your stunt? It would be better surgical control than people. What if I can't?

The angel pierced his whole body as if it were a lightning strike. Moments, all of reason, instinct, nerves, and cells moved with the sole idea of survival.

"PRRYYY!?

Cerberus jumped across my throat, suddenly, [blown away by the light of deep purple].

Whatever the identity of that light is, the technique shield shines in the color of my Photon Blood - "Scutum".

"…………………… So, did you……?

The fact that it was not a dream was evidenced by the severe pain that was constantly occurring in both arms and the icon floating at the tip of the chewed left arm.

"... ugh!

Breathtaking. If that's what you found out, do your best.

I purge myself from consciousness. Release your fighting instincts and resume the fight.

To say that it could have been used even at the tip of a thousand severed arms should have been something else. I concentrate my consciousness in the middle of my chest and perform the Recovery Ceremony. As I thought, a purple blue icon lights up around the dovetail, regenerating both arms with missing surgical formula.

"PPPPPPPPYYYYYYY!"

Cerberus, bounced back by the shield, raises his voice of anger and plunges in again. I put my gaze on him, my right eye.

"- [Freibom]!

An attack technique icon that literally appears in front of you. From there, Photon Blood's rays stretch to target one of Cerberus's faces, blasting.

"PURRRUURRR!?

One neck blows up, and he rolls to the floor and gets bored. In the meantime both arms played back completely. I kicked the floor, stuffed the distance at once, stretched my right leg, and pointed my toes at Cerberus, who rammed on the jitter.

"Drill Break!

Originally, "Drill Break" is a swordsmanship formula, but the conditions of use are "applicable as long as it is bar-shaped". So if you stretch your legs, you should be able to meet that condition, which was actually possible.

I turned myself into a single bullet. Wear a Cerberus belly with a foot drill, sew it to the floor, and crush it.

"- Ha-ha-ha... ha-ha!

Nature and laughter came in.

Until just now, what a stupid stereotype I was tied to. Now that I was free, I knew exactly how cramped I was doing.

"Hahaha...... really, you look like an idiot...... hahaha!

The surgical ceremony is used by most people as a starting point. But some of them use their backs, foreheads, bellies, etc., like Mr. Villey. Especially those who use melee as their main focus, but also the technique, are basically blocked in both arms, so it was normal to do such ingenuity and training.

Why didn't you notice? My stunt was said to have been a surgical control.

If I wanted to, I'd be able to activate the procedure from anywhere in my body.

Pull out the black Xuan on your back and confront the remaining Cerberus. Take a deep breath and make up your mind.

"- Let's go!

As if possessed by something, I fought appropriately in a good way.

If you can get a swordsmanship ceremony out of your leg, you can get a regular attack ceremony out of your weapon. Shoot the "Air Ripper" out of the Black Xuan's body in a row to increase the length of the slash. Steady your back defenses by putting the "Scutum" out of your back. Directly from the punching fist, strike the thunderbolt attack formula (Bolt Stake).

Increase surgery with the Force Boost to match the supporting technique of the physical strengthening system, and perform both physical and surgical attacks simultaneously.

Amazingly enough myself, I instantly wiped out a whole herd of Cerberus.

That's how it appears, the whole [manticore] as seen somewhere.

I picked up the white tiger, and then I instantly kill the one with the blue and black body hair.

When blue and white components were absorbed with SEAL, a wide variety of SBs began to embody continuously before and after the passage.

Yes, this is where Mr. Villey helped me the other day with "NPK". Earlier, the Manticore was the only one that triggered the trap.

I took a thin bottle out of storage, opened the screwed cap, and drank the deep purple liquid inside all at once.

Blood Nectar. Concentrate for Photon Blood replenishment, made with my pre-extracted Photon Blood and a small amount of information embodied components. A small amount, but thick enough to heal Photon Blood at once. It takes a bit of work, but sometimes you need it, so having a certain number was fundamental to Explorer using the surgical formula.

Not yet.

I still have to be strong. [M] You have to break your master's teachings. But you have to crush your shell and grow more.

"... hahahahahahahaha...!

Honestly, it was getting a little fun. How much can I do? How far can you go? I want to try it to the limit. I had that thought.

You can use a surgical ceremony from anywhere in your body, is that really? Then how many? I thought ten were the best so far, but isn't that a assumption, too? Let's try it. Because it's definitely worth a try.

I'm the only one. There are more than forty enemies, many passive. And pinched.

But I laugh.

Kick the disarm SEAL assisted procedure command. Once it's back in neutral, once again, the enhancement formula is superimposed all at once.

I looked at the enemy and whispered.

"- Come on, I'll clean you up within three minitos...!

Black Xuan on the right hand and white tiger on the left with enhanced muscle strength. I found out that I no longer had to leave one hand free. You can practice duplicity.

――

I feel like I'm stepping on the floor and crushing it, and I step in and accelerate all at once. With enhanced agility, a disease thunderstorm burst into a swarm of SBs.

My name is Me Hancer. That is the name of the shameless dogma. A dumb enhancer who is alone, strengthens himself, supports and fights.

He jumps into the enemy formation with a laugh, wields a long roll and flank in disguise, releases his attack ceremony from all over his body like fireworks, and keeps fighting to dance.

One day, to see my favorite princess smile.

Until that day, I keep dancing like an idiot.
