Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Episode 646: Abamas Grand Valley

As Pilte said, I, Nil, and Slatan light the lantern that is lifted from my waist, and adjust the light intensity to secure my vision.

"No... even with the lantern, this darkness is hard..."

What you can see, at best, is a few meters away. If it were just me and Nil, I might not have thought of going into this great valley. It's a place where there's very little light.

Can't we climb the mountain range on the left and right a little and go on through the forest?

"Not that it's impossible, but... we're going to go down a cliff, and there's a lot of flying monsters here." I think it's easier this way than dealing with it. "

"Ugh... it's better to stick to a cliff and fight a flying monster..."

”But... there's no place to take a break, is there?”

In front of you is a forest that you can't see. The surrounding area showed signs of monsters. I can't say I'm going to camp here.

"I guess I'll just have to make a horizontal hole by leaning against the mountain skin... no... if I'm a monster opponent of this rank, even if I build a wall, I'll easily destroy it."

A big body monster like Brown Snake can put a lot of pressure on just your body.

”Using a barrier with magic tools doesn't seem to make sense...”

"You should think you don't have time for a good rest."

"That's right..."

To Efraim's merciless words, Sura Tan sighs deeply.

"I told you it was a dangerous area." You were prepared for this, right? "

"Yes... that's right..."

There was no refutation against the words of the Ephraim, but only a nod to the words of the Ephraim, while he was doing well.

As Ephraim said, you will not get a good rest until you pass through this great valley. According to F and Heine, the linear distance to get out of the valley is about two days on foot. It seems to be about two hundred kilometers.

There are monsters and rumblings in this darkness, so you can't break through in two days. If it goes well, it will be around four days. For once, I decided to go through the forest with that as my goal...

"It was about fifty kilometers a day, but no matter where you look, there are also battles with monsters, and you don't know how far you've come..."

"If you lose your mind, you won't even know which direction you're pointing..."

You can't go along the mountain skin, can you?

"I told you before." There are flying monsters, so it's dangerous.

Besides, you saw the mountain range rising on our left and right from the outside. The shape of all the cliffs that have been cut is because the mountain skin is so fragile and easy to collapse.

Even though the trees are blocking my view, if I walk near the mountain skin, suddenly a boulder may come down directly from above. I can't die yet. "

"It looks like there are frequent small earthquakes, and there must be a lot of active volcanoes around here."

I don't want to feel the fear of being crushed by a boulder again. "

"You have no choice but to continue like this..."

"...... Surakutan?"

What?

For some reason, you really don't like it this time, do you?

"Ugh... what are you talking about?"

Surakutan basically doesn't complain or make a weak sound. What you have to do is hungry, and it's unusual to say it.

……………

"... what?"

If I keep sending my gaze to Surakutan, Surakutan can take it off and swim.

"Maybe it's a slap." Are you not good at this kind of thing? "

"What are you talking about!"

I understand!!

Obviously, the behavior is going to go crazy.

"What does this mean?"

Suratan lived in the forest, and it was dark in the Toyotomi Forest, wasn't it?

"I'm not good at anything!" It's okay, it's okay! "

"Ah. Surat. Is there a Wraith in the back?"

"Huh?!!!"

In my words, Surakutan shudders in my shadows.

If Wraith really existed, I wouldn't say it in such a tense, and I'd be lying.

You tricked me, didn't you?!

Sura Tan is mad at me for making sure that Wraith isn't here.

I've done several quests with Surakitan in the game, but I haven't done any Undead monster crusades or related quests.

I guess you don't like the Undead anyway.

“I'm not good at being a...”

"Oh, I can't believe Suratan has such weaknesses."

Since entering this Abamas valley, I have fought several Undead monsters. I fought with a hard skeleton, a monster with only bones, but at that time, I felt that the movement of the slatan was dull.

“If you're not good at it, you could have told me.”

"Ugh... yes, yes!" I don't like it!

What is the Undead in the first place?! I don't know what it means to move when you're dead! There's no cure! Some monsters don't mean physical attacks! I don't understand! "

After all, it seems that I'm not good at Obake.

"Hey, don't make too much noise. This is a dangerous area.”

We keep our voices down for a while, moving on, and keeping an eye on our surroundings. However, it is still a dangerous area.

"Ugh..."

"You don't have to hide what you don't like, do you? If you don't like it, we can deal with the Undead monsters."

"No, no... it's not like I can't fight anymore... but I just don't understand..."

You're not good at that, are you?

"Nurse..."

"No, it's okay! I'll take care of it!"

Pilte called out to the slugs that hated Undead monsters.

"Fufufu. There is such a cute place in Suratan."

"Everyone has something they don't like!"

"Damn... do you really know that this is a dangerous area?"

Effe sighs in amazement at us talking like this in this place.

"I'm sorry, but you should know that I'm not good at this kind of fun... because it's a dangerous area, right?"

"I'm the only one who felt the malice from Shinya-kun...?"

"Hah... well, what you're saying is correct, but it's not a good place to talk about almost anything." Leave it around. ”

Seriously, as the Effs say, this is a dangerous area. Let's just leave it at that.

"Yeah, I'm sorry.

When the Undead monsters come out, I'll cut them in, not the slugs, so please be vigilant around them. "

"Ugh... I see..."

You know you're not good at it, but if you force yourself into dealing with someone, it could lead to danger. Suratan nodded quietly, apparently understanding what might happen.

In this case, because I don't like Obake, it's a little different, but depending on the weapon used and the fighting style, there are some monsters that I don't like.

For those who use heavy weapons such as great swords, quick monsters are troublesome. On the contrary, for those who use light weapons in a fast-moving combat style, monsters with high defense become troublesome.

It may be common sense for an adventurer to change the motion of a party depending on the opponent and fight the most appropriate battle each time.

Therefore, if you're going to be dealing with an undead monster that Suraitan doesn't like, it's just a matter of everyone moving to cover it.

As Surakitan himself said, it doesn't seem like you can't fight, but if you can do something with another face, it's better to do so.

"Nevertheless... there are quite a few undead monsters in this place, after all."

I wonder if the adventurers will come in to ask for a crusade or for another purpose.

"It's fine to enter, but I can't deal with this number of monsters, so it's just like that..."

I guess.

I was advancing somewhat, but the relative monsters were all B-ranks. If you can crusade well, you can sell the material for a fair price. If they were B-ranked monsters, they would have died and become undead.

"We have to be careful not to let that happen to us."

Yeah.

Once I refocused my mind, I went deeper.

There aren't as many Undead monsters as there are 10 to 20 percent of the monsters fighting in this forest. Therefore, I didn't have to worry about that much, but if I keep going forward, the situation around me will start to change little by little.

"You don't like it..."

What's the matter?

We heard Heine mutter while staring at the darkness spreading deep into the forest, and we stopped our feet once.

The monsters around me are a step stronger.

"... it wouldn't be nice if we were dealing with the same kind of monsters until we left the forest..."

It would have been an easy story if it had only been against B-ranked monsters, but... apparently that wasn't the way.

How long have you been here?

Roughly twenty.

"Twenty... the most ever."

When Heine stops, the enemy must have already captured us. And when I say twenty, it means that all twenty of them are targeting us.

Do you know what kind of monster it is?

"I feel this presence is weak... maybe it's a weekly phantom."

"Fa..."

Suratan has a blue face.

The Week Phantom is a very low-visibility phantom that is designated as an A-ranked Undead monster.

It was also a monster that fought in the submarine tunnel dungeon.

Shoots at intermediate Dark Magic, and basically nullifies Physical Attacks. A dark magic called the Sword of Resentment, which must be used to inflict magic on your weapon that can damage the Undead. Or you can use magic to attack... but considering the possibility of attracting monsters from around you, I didn't want to use attack magic as much as I could.

To be able to attack with a weapon, I cast a magic sword called the Sword of Resentment.

"Me and Pilate can hang up on ourselves."

Me too.

I wonder if the Rock was a demonic race that specializes in dark magic. Heine, Pilte, and Efu place their own swords of resentment on their weapons.

I'll give it to Surakutan's weapon as well.

Um, yeah!

Before the Weekly Phantom approaches, inflict a Sword of Resentment on everyone's weapon.

"But... this is the Week Phantom in the dark..."

Even normal phantoms are semi-transparent Undead monsters with poor visibility, but weekly phantoms are even less visible.

It was the type of monster that I didn't want to deal with the most in the dark forest.

"Piltee. Worst of all, attack me with magic." Other monsters may gather, but it's better than continuing to fight an invisible enemy. ”

Got it.

Following my instructions, Pilte begins to draw the magic circle of the attacking system.

In order to deal with the number of twenty, we formed a formation in the form of a circle, so that we could cope with attacks from anywhere.

"... can you feel the signs?"

"Hmm. Don't be ridiculous. I don't make anything like this."

When Heine turns her eyes to him once, and calls him to provoke him, he answers him.

Simya-san, I'll set it up with Efu.

"All right, I'll take care of it."

I'll respond to Heine without looking at me.

Apparently, the Effs could sense the signs of the Week Phantom.

"Don't pull your leg just because it's one arm."

"Shut up. You can't lag behind like this with one arm."

Heine and Eph.

Heine unfolded a crimson claw in her right hand, a shadow owl in her left hand, and Effe held a dagger in her left hand.

…………………

They move their gaze several times to explore the signs of their surroundings.

”Ngh!!”

Tan tan!!

In the silence, the two of them kicked the ground almost simultaneously. Looking at me, Heine ran to the west and Efu to the east.

Hah!

Shit!

They shake their weapons as they move closer to the lantern lights.

Shush, shush, shush, shush!

I can't see it well, but it seems that both Heine and Fu are slashing the Week Phantom... I really want to say I don't understand in this darkness, but that's not the point right now.

"Nil! We're the ones who got out!"

Yes!

"Piltee! All you have to do is prepare!" Don't let go yet! "

Yes!

"I don't understand the meaning of attacking with translucency!!"

Me and Nil stand together like a half-weeping slug and a piltee preparing magic.

In Heine's senses, there were twenty enemies. While Nil and I were in position, Heine and Fu had already taken care of each other, so there were sixteen of them left.

I can't block all of them with Heine and Effe, so some of them are coming out.

I stared into the darkness, but since I was almost a transparent enemy, my vision might seem dim and distorted... However, neither Nil nor I passed through the submarine tunnel dungeon.

I've been through a lot, and I'm getting stronger.

It's coming!

Yes!

Two... no, three.

Nil is on my back, so I don't know what's going on, but Nil will be fine.

Hah!

Shush! Shush! Shush! Shush!

"Noooo!"

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

The Week Phantom is almost invisible. I don't see them, but I'm sure they are. And somehow, I can feel the position of the Week Phantom with other senses, rather than with vision.

If I could sense the existence of the Week Phantom, I would just swing the blade down there.

Magic is coming!

When Nil and I are dealing with the approaching Week Phantom, we hear the voice of Piltee from behind.

I immediately ran my gaze into the darkness, and I could see the magic circle glowing in the dark.

"Huh?!"

Zaah!!

The moment I saw the magic circle, I jumped to the side.

A black scythe passes where I was standing and winds up the black fallen leaves on the ground.

An intermediate black scythe of dark magic.

Both the ground and the trees are dark, so I can see the black scales and they are very hard, but I managed to make them dark.

Gin!

Behind them, there was a sound of Nil playing enemies' magic.

That's it!

Shh, shh!

Shit!

Shh, shh!

When the opponent used magic, they could see the light in the magic circle. Heine and Fu grasped the position of the Week Phantom.

Heine immediately stretched out her crimson claws and penetrated the center of the magic circle. With one pair of claws, Efu quickly leaped in front of the magic circle and swung out his dagger.

I'll take care of it all at once!

Don't tell me!

Although Heine and Fu throw aggressive words at each other, their movements are firmly in line. After all, they are both professionals. Even though it was a good match, I was defeating my enemies without difficulty.

After all, while Surakutan was saying Awaaah, Heine and Eff destroyed the rest of the Week Phantom. I cleared everything without using the magic that Pilate had prepared.

"I beat a lot of them."

"Haha! Can't you count it? There were more of me!"

Heine and Fu are coming back to us as they argue.

"Come on, this is a dangerous area." That's not the case, is it? "

"Damn... damn!"

Even though he said it earlier, now he is in the position of being told, and Efraim looks at Heine and touches her with a grand tongue.

”Hmph!”

On the other hand, Heine turns to the side, saying it wasn't my fault.

It seemed like the two of them could move together in battle, but they didn't like what they didn't like. I'm the only one who looks surprisingly good...?

"Hey, Sura-tan." Are you alive? "

Aside from the two of you, I wave in front of the blue slatan.

"I hate this forest..."

For once, Surakutan defeated all of the Week Phantoms without fighting, but it seemed that Surakutan had twelve Week Phantoms.

Suratan-sama...

Let's go.

"Sinya, you're harsh!"

“If you can get that kind of reaction, you'll be fine.”

"Ufu..."

"I'm fine! Let's do our best together!"

It's not all undead monsters, so it's okay! "

"Ugh..."

Sura-tan was half-crying, but to be honest, it's not good to be lazy here.

Week Phantom is an A-rank monster. If it was around here, there would be ranked monsters around here that could cross that Weekly Phantom.

A-rank monsters can be easily defeated by us, but unlike dungeons, we don't know when or where they're coming from. It's quite dangerous to be in such a dusty place.

I know the spirit of Surakutan has been cut off, but I can see that there is still room, and I will prioritize safety here.

Hey, what about the other monsters?

"I see... I'm not nearby at the moment."

But this place is not the same as a wide main road, and I can't be too nervous. "

“Yeah, I know. A-rank monsters came out, and I couldn't make it too long. It's dangerous to keep stopping here, so let's move on.”

"Yes, I hope there's somewhere I can rest..."

"If it really looks bad, I'll blow up the surroundings and keep you safe." However, if the monsters emerge from the forest too flashy, the surrounding villages and cities may be damaged, so I would like to refrain from doing so if possible. "
