Sword Art Online: Gray Wheel Dancer
Chapter 1500 - EX Christmas on Christmas Eve (693) The difficulty is slowly starting to show!
It's a straight line to the mountain range. ......
(Almost gradually, I'm afraid it's still about 1000 meters away!
"Hmmm ~ Hmmm? It is!!!"
'Boom~boom~boom, squeak~squeak~squeak'
"What happened? Why do you suddenly hover in mid-air and stop suddenly? (๑óò๑)"
In the middle of the journey, the cloud, which seemed to have suddenly detected something, stopped flying as if in a split second, and hovered directly.
It was as if it had suddenly stopped flying, and hovered directly.
"I think we're in trouble. I think we've been approaching it for a while now, but I don't think it's more than 50 meters ahead.
"It was as if the presence of magic was gradually not felt, as if it was either impossible to use or very scarce.
"What? Is there any such thing? Well, then, it looks like we're going down to land!"
After suddenly hearing such a question from Argo, Yun immediately explained to him with a heavy expression.
Argo, who naturally heard that it was such a wonderful situation, couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and then he admonished him again.
"I'm afraid so, even if it takes a little longer, it's better than falling right in."
"All right then! Let's do it just to be on the safe side! But ~ are the rock warriors who went deeper into the pioneering interior mentioned earlier okay? They're completely magical creatures!"
After hearing this addition from Yun, Argo was relieved to hear good news or bad news, but then suddenly she thought of something and confirmed it again as she was so nervous.
(Rock Warriors?)
'zi-zi-zi'
"It's okay, we've already confirmed the survival status of the people who entered it through the magic circuit connection, and so far it seems ~ no other problems have been found other than magic use inhibition!"
"It looks like ~ just like the people who brought us in said, it really wasn't as easy a task as we thought!"
"In that case, let's make a small base for summoning magic circles down there! That way we can have some back-up to prevent us from being trapped after we go in."
"Mmmm ~ Mmmm! Let's go down and get ready, just as my sister said."
'Hiss~Hiss~Hiss, Wow~Ta~Ta~Ta~Ta, Bam~Bam~Bam, Ga-da~Ga-da, Boom~Boom'
Also after Argo's advice, the cloud, which I felt would be much more stable, landed directly on the ground and started looking for some places to hide.
First, they cast an earth-based construction spell to establish a small stronghold, and then they fixed a certain degree of defense and a disturbance spell to shield the air here.
After casting a magic summoning spell in the center of the building, I started to enter this mysterious area on foot with Argo.
'Ta-ta-ta-ta'
"I've been waiting for you! Lord!"
"How's that? Nothing particularly troubling?"
And that is to say, completely into this can be called low magic to no magic zone, almost 500 meters.
Yun and the others encountered a small staging point established by the pioneer scouting team, which was simply divided into certain personnel, and then they received a warm welcome from the garrison.
This is why Yun, who is still worried about the situation ahead, checked his priorities in this way.
"Generally speaking, it was smooth sailing, but the terrain is a bit steep with winding mountainous terrain, with the addition of primeval forest-like intricacies, even according to the map after the pioneering, there will be lost from time to time!
"Combined with only being able to use some low-level utility magic, and in turn using sword skills and some utility techniques to get by, our overall progress suffered a great deal of difficulty ......".
Also after hearing the cloud nodded slightly as if to accept their words, its priority to the personnel here, to understand the situation in the middle of the gradual inability to contact the advance team in real time.
It seems that the stationed rock warrior commander, whose face was full of sadness, shook his head repeatedly like this and replied to him.
(Looks like the overall progress is going to go down quite a bit! Just like that ......)
"It sounds like the 'Marsh Road' as they say in the East! No matter how rugged and complex the terrain is, even the limitations of ability are overly targeted ......".
"Indeed ~ it looks like we'll have to have some of the teams here as guides. ......"
"Well ~ well, that's just as well! Wu Chang will leave it to you to make the arrangements."
"Yes ~ Yes! Sir, please take a short break inside while I prepare."
"Thank you x2"
'Ta-ta-ta-ta'
Naturally, when they heard the most memorable part of the story, which was too recreated and did not have much assistance, Yun and Argo could not help but slowly understand the meaning of the message from the people who had sent them here.
After all, this seemingly easy task of camping and exploring was actually limited in many ways by invisible limitations, which were obviously set up to make it difficult for the challengers.
So Yun and the others, who had to compromise with the rules set by the other party, began to mobilize the team of guides left behind, and formed a new exploration team with them!
'ta-ta-ta-ta, clatter-clatter-clatter'
"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
"Understood! xN"
"Heh, heh, heh, interesting team! Right? Sister!"
"I didn't think there would be such a thing as a mental overload! (๑óò๑)"
And it was in this situation of going over the mountains and through the dense forest with this seemingly energetic team, watching their overly simple and responsible appearance.
For a while, it was interesting to see them, but this over-zealousness in turn gave Argo a headache or a noisy feeling of vestigiality. ......
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwww! !xN"
(It is!!!) ! x2)
'Swish, swish, swish'
"Does it look like we're being ambushed?"
"Cloud ~ cloud, and there are so many more looks!"
"Ha ~ ha ~ ha (. ò∀ó.), it's okay ~ it's okay, Lord Yun! These are the cephalopod wolves that occupy this trail location, named by us because of the abnormal calcification of the head and the growth of hard bone armor!"
