The Labyrinth Raids of the Ultimate Tank

As the others turn their swords...

I take a step towards him.

The guardian frowned wonderfully.

I punched him like that.

"Guardian, I want to know how to help my sister"

He looked strange for a moment, but then loosened his mouth.

"That's a sudden question. Don't you look at me and be vigilant?"

"I'm on guard. But I think we can talk about it."

"I see. There are some new faces... have the previous ones died?"

"No... seriously wounded, but we're all alive"

He exhaled relieved when he said that to a guardian who looked terribly worried.

"That's good to hear. I don't like useless killing."

"Right."

... unexpected.

You should consider it separate from the guardians you've met.

The guardian plays his hand on his chin, and hum, roars.

"Was it your sister? What do you mean you want to help? Are you in a critical situation or suffering from some kind of illness... unfortunately, I'm not a doctor."

Talk goes better than you think.

"... my sister is weak at birth. Do you know how to cure him?"

I felt terrible.

I have relied solely on the Devil's Book for a labyrinth attack.

But you can't bet on that forever.

Even the guardian, don't you see...

and the guardian leaned his neck, wrinkling somewhat between his eyebrows.

"Born...? Demon Stone Defect?"

"You know...?"

"If you've had it since birth, that's likely, isn't it? If I know something, it doesn't apply. Humans are born with demonic stones, but rarely does it hurt. When that happens, your body is no longer in a normal state. Symptoms include weakness or flawed skills."

... Indeed, it is similar to the symptoms of Manichia.

So light, I never thought I'd know.

"Is there a cure?"

"You just have to change the demon stone. Same as homunculus technology."

"Change your mind?"

The guardian hoists the corner of his mouth.

"The demon stone in a man's body is packed with all the information about that man. Prepare a sturdy demon stone that can accept that information and transfer the information there. All you have to do is switch to the same flesh homunculus as that sister, and that's it."

Guardians say it's obvious.

... That means Manicia dies once!?

"It's not like Manichia to have done that."

"It doesn't make any difference. I have memories, and it's possible to make the same with flesh. Or the ideal body. Homunculus, so life expectancy never comes. As long as you have the magic, you can stay alive. That's what homunculus technology is."

... I didn't know.

His gaze was capturing Luna. Maybe he's noticing.

"... Isn't Homunculus here to aid human life?"

"No, you're not. Originally, the Homunculus technology was developed by man to gain eternal life."

"Eternal life, or"

Maybe it's the way the guardian said it earlier, and you do get that.

"A person is everything that is decided at birth. Homunculus technology means we can start over. Additionally, if you extract information from the Demon Stone, you can acquire new skills. Well, it depends on the demon stone used for homunculus."

"Guardian... are you a man of the past?"

"You just don't remember until the past... It's just that there's that technology, and in my world, we all lived eternal lives with free flesh."

"... is that the only way to help Manichia?"

I don't know much about homunculus technology.

However, perhaps the way it is done touches the law.

The state forbids homunculus to have feelings.

What we're trying to do now is close to that.

But... if that cures...

I'll turn the country against the enemy, but I might do it.

"No, there's only one more thing"

Thus the guardian smiled with joy and put his hand into the nostalgia.

It was a piece of paper that I took out.

It rocks in the wind. It has letters written on it.

"This is a page in the Devil's Book where any wish is said to come true"

"... of fairytales, Demon Book?"

"I don't know if it fits perfectly with what you imagined, but this is definitely an artifact that comes out of your fantasy. I also have guardians who are in other labyrinths, but collecting this will eventually become one demonic book. With that, Manichia and I can help. Of course, even this one has some effect. It could be better than it is now."

"Right. … will you give it to me?"

"For free, there's no way to give in"

hahaha, and the guardian laughs aloud.

Is that natural? That's all, there's no way they're giving anything of value away for free.

Because there's probably nothing I can pay for.

The guardian's eyes narrow. At the same time, magic overflows the surroundings.

"Take me down and I'll give it to you."

"... you know what,"

That's an easy story to understand.

I'll take out my shield and set it up.

The guardian tilts his neck gently and tongues out.

At that moment, the flesh changes.

Arms grow from his back so that even the shell breaks.

My body swells more than double.

The lower body changes like the tail of a snake.

"Let's make it the best fight ever, human."

"... right"

If you win, you're one step closer to full Manichia healing.

... I've never been happier in battle.

The guardian reaches for the knife on his hips.

I'll set up my shield and sword, too, facing each other.

"Suddenly you're cured of an injury. This is not happening."

Nin shrugs her shoulders and prepares her magic.

"I'm sorry. You got caught up in my selfishness."

"I don't mind. Plus, they all seem motivated."

Turn your gaze to this one.

"I won't forgive you for hurting Lily before this."

"I will never forgive you for cutting your sister's strength"

Lilia and Lily are naturally motivated.

Schgor looks tired, yet holds his weapon.

"For the sake of Manicia... I will fight with all my might"

In particular, Luna is in the mood.

... You must be taking care of Manichia. As long as I'm happy.

Things to do are the same as usual.

I exhale small and look to my guardian.

Step forward.

At the same time, the guardian moved.

To him as he approached to crawl, unleash a provocation.

A willing opponent.

I didn't know if the provocation would work, but his gaze captured me.

"Aah!"

The guardian has waved his sword down as he shouted. The flying voice of reason is the demon itself.

Receive a sword with a shield that strikes from left to right.

My body is about to glance back. But I'll take it.

It's a heavier blow than Fildsaurus.

... show your guts.

If you win here, you'll get close to the magic book that was a dream...! I'm sure you'll bring it home and it looks like Manichia's smile.

I want Manichia to be well enough to run around outside.

With that thought, I do not wave my sword. The guardian even pulls his tail and pulls his torso back.

There, Schgor set it up.

Shake the long sword. The guardian sent it, but the magic was unleashed from Schgor's sword.

Fire arrows slightly scorch the guardian's body.

"Shgor! The sword is coming!"

"Come on!"

Schgor bounces sideways aggressively, but is bounced by the wind pressure.

What a power. Slightly damaged, I recover instantly in the potion.

The guardian moves to set up a pursuit against Schgor.

Like interrupting, it unleashes a provocation.

Attention returns immediately, sticking out the shield and advancing.

Always activate Taunt and Gather Parental Awareness.

Lilia moves from side to side.

She calls from her guardian's blind spot.

"The grudge that hurt Lily!"

Many blades fall out in a flash.

It's her skill. She chopped off the guardian's belly and ran through it, disturbing her breathing at the same time.

It's the price of using powerful skills. Still, Lilia seems to be able to move to the point where she can avoid it.

The guardian turns his gaze from me to Lilia.

I'm reading that.

I'll break in between Lilia and the guardian and set up a shield. Working with her is quite a lot. I'm used to this.

Return the guardian advancing with a shield.

It's such a shock that my arm is about to break.

But try to hide yourself in the shield and distract the attack.

"You."

Lilia leaves just that and hides the signs immediately.

He also wants a chance.

The magic team is ready.

The guardian seems to have noticed that too. My gaze is pouring into the magic group.

"Let go!"

The combined magic of Nin and Luna flew.

A bullet of fire hits the guardian.

Guardians prevent it with their hands.

At that moment, the bullet of fire started.

The explosion is chained. From the guardian's hand to his arm, the explosion proceeds to erode.

"Gah, aah!?"

The guardian released ice from his mouth, stiffening his arms.

But thunder struck such a guardian.

It's Lily's magic. Besides, Lilia can quickly combine.

Guardians greet the increased power of lightning strikes.

Schgor jumps.

To keep the guardian's consciousness out of your way, I jump into his sight while using my provocation continuously.

Schgor's sword hits the tail of the guardian.

Sturdy scales peeled off.

Spread the knife to the ground as the guardian flutters.

Is a series of attacks working pretty well?

No... no.

I can see the magic gathering.

At the same time, Schgor screamed.

"Soil magic is coming! Last time, I was hit by this, and I retreated!"

"Right. Nin, just get ready for the restorative magic."

"...... ok dude!"

Nin screams like yelling.

You seem to understand instantly what I'm trying to do.

"All of you, tap into the biggest move you can make. Only attack the steeple! Otherwise, I can protect you!"

The three of you who don't know my skills showed you how to get lost.

But instantly they move on to preparing for the attack.

That's right, you're a first-rate adventurer.

The ground rocked as they launched their attack.

It's like an earthquake.

The ground cracks and many spears of dirt pop out of it.

Lilia and Shugor flesh out to their guardians as they scratch. But soil spears plunder and the damage increases.

Health is shredded.

Drink the potion all at once and delude it.

Someone is damaged.

Slight pain builds up.

I bit my back teeth all the way so I wouldn't lose consciousness. It's just as hard to get your whole body pierced with spears, even though it's because of how much it reduces.

But I'm a tank. It's a shield to protect this party.

Plus, the pain strikes.

The magic team can't get rid of the dirt spear.

I can put my sword to the ground and support it.

It's been so long, so much damage, I've never taken before.

Enemy magic is not over yet. How long will it last?

A second feels long.

If I lose consciousness, my skills will be deactivated and I will lose my chance to fight back.

Bear it. Bear it.

Sweat conveys cheeks. The pain persists as if the blade is rushing around the inside of your body.

... No.

I can't afford a potion.

A potion that I tried to remove from my hips item pouch spilled out of my hand.

"Rude!"

"Master!"

I heard a scream.

Late, soft light wrapped my body around it.

... the combined healing magic of Nin and Luna.

As always, it's an unusual amount of recovery.

... thanks.

Gazing at the pain, staring at the guardian.

The guardian's magic is over, and Shugor and Lilia are caught in the knife.

After the attack, a huge gap had been created.

Last push.

With it...!

Kick the earth.

I flesh to my guardian and skill to my sword.

Life Conversion. Bring all the damage you've accumulated to this blow!

The sword sheds light pale.

The guardian reacts. I have swung the knife, but I have flushed it with a shield, and waved the sword down.

The sword pierces. At the same time, the light increased further and blew out the guardian's body.

Roll the ground as you hoist up the smoke.

Thus, the guardian stopped perfectly.

But, hey, wake up.

No way... do you still stand?

... but sharpened quite a bit. All we have to do is attack them all at once.

Just look away and keep your distance.

"Wow, wait, wait. Surrender. If you do this any more, I'll die."

A guardian gives a dumb voice.

The body that was turning into a demon slowly returns to man.

He crouched as he put his blurry clothes together.

Raise your hands with a smile.

"Surrender. I'm sorry, but I still want to play in this labyrinth. I'll give you what you promised, will you miss it?"

I won, so that's fine.

The moment I thought that, I lost my strength from my body.
