"Guiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Sora's braces burst.

Fire columns rise with the roar.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"

But Peony, who can prevent it, is also horrified.

Dozens or hundreds of roots and tweezers protruding from the ground defend Sola's braces.

Its speed, its speed of reaction, is reminiscent of Dark Wolf's automatic defense by 'Darkness'.

Perhaps that amazing defensive ability is Peony's skill as well.

I've learned a few things about Peonie over the last three days of preparation.

One of them is "Automatic Defense" by those roots and thumbs.

If an attack is imminent on the peonie body, that peonie and roots are automatically defended regardless of the "will" of the body (peonie). No, it's part of my body, to be exact. Is it like 'reflex'? Honestly, I think it's an irregular skill.

Only this is about 'defense'.

Peony's 'will' clearly exists when it comes to 'attack' and 'predation'.

He can focus on attack because he leaves' defense 'to his skills.

- There's a 'gap' that goes in there.

"Ichinose-san! Kiki!"

"Yes."

"Kew!

Along with my signal, the jewel on Kiki's forehead, which was stuck on his shoulder, glowed, enveloping Mr. Ichinose's body. Kiki's Supporting Magic (Buff).

And Mr. Ichinose sets up an example monster rifle - "Ichinose Special ver2.0".

- Let's go.

Squeeze the trigger, fire.

The bullet sews between the buildings and approaches Peonie.

But near reaching the main body, Ichinose's bullet was prevented by the roots that jumped out of the ground.

Peonie's automatic defense works even with much smaller and faster rifle bullets than Sola's braces.

And even with Mr. Ichinose's monstrous rifle, which specializes in penetration, Peony's bark couldn't be pierced.

I want to tell you not to be kidding me.

"Again."

Again, loading the bullet, Mr. Ichinose pulls the trigger.

Even though every shot boasts the power that worked for that titan, it still doesn't reach the peonie body.

All of it is prevented by the roots of the polar weight and by the wax.

"Not yet!

Still, Ichinose-san's sniping won't stop.

Kiki's "Supportive Magic (Buff)" and "Reflection" have unlimited relief from the strain on Ichinose's sniping.

Now, dozens of shots, I guess, but she can keep shooting.

I've been shooting for almost ten shots, and I'll wait for Mr. Ichinose.

"Ichinose-san, once we call it off"

"Already?

"Yeah, because if you shoot too many at once, Peony could notice you"

No, I also doubt he has a 'thought' to think about it, but for now, that's it for once.

"It's my turn next"

The 'shadow' spreads at my feet, and I throw myself in it.

Momo's "Shadow Crossing".

In an instant, I'll be out of the Safe Zone.

The place is in the opposite direction to Peony.

I'm going as far away from him as I can, mainly City Hall.

"-" The Art of Huge ""

He then immediately activated the ninja and created a huge amount of body in front of him.

Immediately Peony reacted.

Tentacles are stretched out, and I - to be exact, I try to prey on my body for my enlarged portion.

"Sola, it's now"

"Umm!"

Sora swirls around me and burns the tentacles she tried to prey on out of her roots with a brace.

That's a laser beam-like attack. The increased level of skill also made Sola's braces more applicable. This is more efficient than extinguishing the tip area with a normal brace.

Regardless, Peony's tentacles quickly play back and approach 'The Huge Me'.

Seeing the sight convinces me.

(... 'Priority' still exists in Peony)

The second thing I found out about Peonie.

That there is a "Priority for Action".

For him, predation - or "eating" - is everything.

'Combat' is only a means to that end.

If the more immense and worthy prey is nearby, he gives top priority to 'predation' rather than 'attack'.

"Gaaaaaaaaaa!"

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!"

But Sora's braces inhibit it even as she "preys" on it.

Peonie's eccentricity sounds irritating. Being interrupted by 'predation' would be an unbearable pain above all for Peonie, who can't wait to eat it.

Soon he releases part of his tentacles toward Sola.

But that was clearly less than the number of copies that could be directed at 'the Huge Me'.

"Lick Melareta Monodana!

To that extent, Sola avoids Peonie's attack just by saying it's not a number of things.

In the meantime, the enlarged portion of the body gets tangled up in Peony's tentacles, but no problem. The minds are minute-body. It doesn't hurt or itch.

Rather, this is the perfect time for me to be eaten.

"Sola, shoot me!

"Words Wareztomo!

At super high speeds, Sola flies through the sky.

That speed was even higher than three days earlier.

Sola's skills were enhanced by consuming the accumulated SP.

Attack and mobility skills, as well as MP consumption reduction, were the main ones raised.

Raising "MP consumption reduction" to LV6 further increased the number of times Sola's braces could be shot.

"GUARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Flash emitted with the roar.

The braces fired together burn off Peonie's tentacles.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"

But Peony's attack is also terrific.

Though eating Sola's braces, he reaches out hundreds of tentacles from the ground and tries to catch Sola...

"- Waste Dah!

"Huh!?"

Sora scolds this without difficulty.

Despite the incessant attacks of hundreds of tentacles, that attack does not reach Sola.

Sometimes it slips through, sometimes it burns down with braces, sometimes it cleaves with nails, and endlessly Sola avoids Peonie's attack and lets the braces get shot.

That's the opposite of the attack three days ago.

Sola, who was on the defensive side of the war, is now taking advantage of his peonie opponent.

"- Kokodah!"

The moment slips through Peonie's attack, and Sola approaches the Peonie body suddenly.

That's the time Sola's braces can make the most of.

Distance that didn't arrive three days ago.

"Eat Laughey Yikes!

An enhanced brace is released from Sola's mouth.

Peonie also tries to create a tentacle wall in front of her in no time.

A huge mushroom cloud occurs along with the ZDWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Sola's unleashed braces burned down every wall body Peonie tried to create.

Black smoke clears.

"........................ Shh!!"

There was the figure of Peony, who carbided part of the trunk to a large extent.

The bark bathed in Sola's braces is burnt to pieces and its heat appears to permeate the interior as well.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"

Odd peonies.

Soon the regeneration begins, and countless tentacles loom further behind Sola.

"Humph!"

Though Sola does this without difficulty, and once she is at a distance.

It was as if it had eyes on its back.

No, there's a presence that's actually Sora's 'eye'.

'... (sighs)' Pei, Pei

"- Next Ha Right Ka, Minutes Cutter"

If you look closely, there was a body strained over Sola's head for a basketball-sized acorn.

Yes, this Aka's share of the body is what made Sola move extraordinarily better.

Aka's body is left petrified everywhere in town.

Petrified acorns are just stones to the side. No sign, no smell. Besides, I never get caught up in my skills with 'Invalid Enemy'. Thanks to this, Peony has survived without being preyed upon.

And Aka's body consciousness is all connected.

Aka was covering the part where we shared each other's sights and Sola was an unrecognizable blind spot.

"GUARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!

Having acquired countless' eyes', Sola can also carry out bolder attacks.

As earlier, countless tentacles can be applied, and the body can be approached and braced.

"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!"

Second bullet.

Now it's the crown part of Peonie.

Making a sound of vacillation, a few of its huge branches fall to the ground.

"... it's time for your body to be eaten up. All right, come back once, Sola!

Even if I stay away, I can have a direct conversation with Sola in "Mindfulness Talk".

The overhead 'Huge Minutes Body' was about to lose most of it by Peony's tentacles. Pretty splatter sight.

Sora, who listened to my voice, immediately stopped the attack and turned back this way.

Peony also set up a chase, but he couldn't capture Sora with Aka's support.

Sora returned to the 'Safe Zone' at risk.

"Tired."

"Another Ni Tired Retenado Oran......"

Even so strong, I can see the color of fatigue on Sola's face.

I've shot a high-powered brace many times. Must have consumed a fair amount of MP.

"Sola, what about the rest of the MP?

"- 1200 Da"

The total amount of MP for Sola is 2300.

You mean you consumed nearly half the MP on the current offense?

"Well, drink this."

I take the pet bottle out of the item box.

There was a golden liquid inside.

"... Mata, Soleka"

Seeing it, Sola makes a low voice.

"Don't complain. If you don't drink this, your MP won't recover."

"... minutes of cuttails. Sassato Shipping Cose '

Sora snatches a pet bottle like a fluke from me, cleverly using her mouth to drink up the contents.

This is an MP Recovery Drug (Potion) made with Shibata's skill "Chemical Generation".

Unlike the "Recovery Pills (Potions)" that Ichinose hit with Gacha, you made Shibata. That literally has the effect of restoring MP.

Ever since he acquired this skill a few days ago, he has been hoarding tips for as long as time permits. By the way, the flavour is completely nutritional drinks sole. Bottles like the test tube are also produced together when purifying them, but the amount for Sola is too low for Sola to drink, so the amount for Sola is transferred to the pet bottle.

"You've already started playing Peonie."

Peony's trunks and crown areas were 80% regenerated during the current exchange.

Sora got hurt because of it, but she goes back to her original state within minutes. It's so irregular resilience that I hate it at all.

"... about two minutes with the wound now"

The third thing I found out about Peonie.

That's about his "playback speed."

Peony regenerates that part if he damages his flesh.

However, the playback speed is "uneven".

For example, if the end part of the wall that is stuck to the invisible wall is damaged, it will recover in just a few seconds, but if the tentacles and branches close to the body are damaged, it will take more than ten seconds. If it's a trunk or crown area, as in our current offense, it takes more than a minute to regenerate.

In other words, the closer it is to the main unit, the longer it takes to regenerate the more important parts.

Overwhelming giant, threatening defensive and regenerative abilities.

Again, they remind me that the opponent we're fighting right now is a substandard monster.

- But so far, as planned.

I throw an empty bottle of my drunk 'Recovery Pills (Potions)' on the ground and activate the next ninja.

Up to this point, outposts.

Operation Peonie Crusade is the real deal from here on out.

"Come on, next hand"

I will spare no effort.

Because if you don't hang everything you can hold, you can't beat Peonie.
