"Well, now you're ready."

Piazza ahead transferred from the magic formation after repelling the sealed ghost.

So we did the item distribution again.

That said, I just mainly handed out food items.

"Well, we don't know what's waiting for us."

"If you think about the Reid area, it won't always be divided, but you need to be careful."

"Then it would be better not to destroy the fairy cocoon as much as possible, too. Because it simply doesn't seem like a gimmick to call it a reid failure if it's all destroyed."

"That's right. We want to do something to minimize the damage."

"Right. Nevertheless, it's only the second time and you haven't grasped the guidelines..."

"Yeah, you're a little anxious..."

Rick and Hal don't seem very confident.

Well, Hal's failed to defend earlier, and Rik wouldn't be too good at fighting around moving.

There's something wrong with an iron ghost that's heavily armored but capable of high-mobility combat.

"Uh, if this is what happens, I should have bought [Heavy Duty Behavior]..."

"Well, I know how you feel, but when you try to buy [heavy acting] in the market, it gets very expensive. You don't have to."

"That's right... I figured I should go around boss and [act heavy] keep it"

"Well, I guess I've never been over it. Because with or without that, full body metal equipment can move at different speeds."

"Nah. I want to get it somehow..."

"Mr. Rick is good, isn't he? Because there is a way to break the situation. Honestly, we are tough because there is no other way to run around and defeat..."

"Well, there's no choice in that. There will be another opportunity to discuss exactly how to curb the damage. Today's priority is to avoid quest failures."

"Right. For today, the goal is to move on to the next step as something that will cause some damage."

"Ok...... uhh, I'm nervous......"

Rarely is Hal nervous.

Why don't you try and relax the tension a little?

"Hal, but you're nervous, it's rare"

"Brother, I get nervous when I get nervous too!

"Really? It's pretty rare from you."

"Ugh... well, maybe so. I'm nervous, too."

"Well, there's usually no point in being too nervous. Put aside the hard stuff for now and do your best to keep one more cocoon."

"Yes. Your brother is good at high-mobility long-range combat at times like this, right?"

"Sort of. But your [Spirit Sword] will have long range skills."

"There is, but... well, I'll try my best."

"Right. Well, come on."

"Yeah. Well, it's time to get back to everyone."

"That's right. It's time to leave."

"Shall I? Good luck, then."

"Yeah, guys, take care"

I'll see you later.

"Oh, nice to meet you all."

Each of us breaks up and goes back to our own party.

Well, here's the real deal...

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Um, I told your brother, yeah, but I'm still anxious.

[Spirit Sword] also has long-range skills, because the power is subtle...

Even if it's not that, it's pretty attacking because of the level limit, and I think the [Spirit Sword] skills themselves are pretty attacking.

After all, it's almost impossible to remember super skills at 45 levels, and I wonder if they're pretty restricted...

"What's wrong, Hal? You look so hard."

Sally has spoken to me.

Hmm, you look so hard...

"Kind of... I think my super skills are losing a lot of power..."

"Oh, I knew Hal would, too?

"I do feel the power of super skills is pretty limited, don't you think? Are you hooked on something called a level 45 limit?

"That's what I think... what do they think?

I decided to ask everyone because even if I was worried alone, I wouldn't be able to reach a conclusion.

"Well, I think my skills are pretty depressing."

"Don't think super skills are pretty restricted as well!

"Right...... I was wondering if advanced skills as well as super skills are restricted in the second half"

"If you don't think about the magic you use when you do, it's going to be a waste of MP..."

"This time, we want to avoid wasting it, even though we have a generous and powerful recovery potion for the Library."

Yeah, I knew we all had pretty much the same opinion.

I guess that would make the conversation quick.

"Ok, try not to use your super or advanced skills later in the day from the skill turns during this raid!

"That would be good. I will also try to keep the top support magic as warm as possible."

"Well, that's the only way."

A few minutes of walking while discussing future combat policies.

We reached a square with a gate leading to the next area.

Each of the six little ghosts relaxes in the square, just like last time.

... It feels kind of nasty that monsters are relaxing even though I'm worried about this one!

"So, what do you do with the operation?

Even at times like this, Sally is serious.

Well, I don't need an operation on these guys...

"There's something I'd like to try, so I'll stick my stick at it all at once."

"Okay. Then I'll deal with the bow by magic."

"Then Sally will collect the rest and defeat me and Setsu. Shu, support magic please!

"Okay. Attack Up, Guard Up, Speed Up, Magic Up!

Shu buffed us all.

Well, I got a buff on it, and do you want to run through it all at once!

"Then you're coming! Dash!"

Instead of consuming more stamina, use a skill [dash] that temporarily increases the speed of running and thins it into a wand-holding kid at once.

What I'd like to try this time is an experiment on how powerful [Spirit Sword] is.

Swordholders and ax-handlers are also trying to attack me in response, but you decide to trust Sally and ignore her.

Anyway, if it was during the effect time of the dash, it wouldn't be that easy to catch up!

And when I reach before the wand-holding little ghost of my goal, I open my [Spirit Sword] skills.

"Flame Weapon! Element Break from!

"Flame Weapon" is a [Magic Sword] skill that imparts flames to the sword, and "Element Break" is a [Spirit Sword] skill that bursts the magical power that resides in the sword and hits the target.

"Element Break" cannot be activated without using [Magic Sword] skills to reside magic in the sword beforehand, and has the disadvantage of saying that once used, the effect of [Magic Sword] disappears.

But it's supposed to be a skill that can compensate for its shortcomings and generate enough instantaneous firepower...

"Ggagga!"

But the little ghost who received that 'element break' lived normally while losing about 80% of his HP.

Looks like your Super Skill Attack is pretty much down!

"Flame Edge!"

With only about 20% left, HP should be able to defeat even the lowest [Magic Sword] skills!

I mean, I could have defeated him normally!

"Well, I'm done over here and I could try what I want! And then there's Sally and the others!

If I checked the surrounding conditions, the bow had already been knocked down, and all I had left were two axes 1 on sword 1.

Yeah, we can't bring it here and we'll knock it down fast!

The addition of me and Tsubaki-chan promptly knocked the other two out and disappeared.

And a treasure chest appeared in the middle of the room, so I take the keys out of it.

I wonder if everyone else is still in battle...

'We're done here. How's everybody else?

I heard your brother from Reid Chat.

Apparently, your brothers have already defeated you.

"Library" is the only one of us that hasn't reached the limit yet, but it's early...

"We're done, too. What about the others?

"We're almost done, too."

"We're just finishing up."

"We're finished, too."

"Ew, we're the last ones... it's over now!

Apparently everyone got the keys.

Now we can finally get a revenge match!

Um, I'm getting nervous again!

"Then unlock me when you're ready."

I heard your brother's voice. A little later I heard something heavy moving in the distance.

I guess your brothers are already saying you're ready.

I can hear some of the noise of the zuzzle and heavy stuff moving as it follows.

We're all getting ready...

"Then we'll unlock it too! You ready?

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Ok, come on Revenge!

"You can go anytime"

"I'm fine, too"

"I'm ready for this one too."

"Okay, then unlock it!

I also plug the key I got into the keyhole in the door in front of me.

Then the door opens and the next room? Floor? Anyway, the next leading warp point appeared in front of me.

... Were we the last?

Well, we have to move on anyway.

Reaching the stage of the fairy cocoon defense, we drink up the movement speed increase potion that your brother had given us.

Um, the flavor is citrus? It tasted like that.

I tried running around lightly, but it did feel like I could run faster than usual.

Everyone else is making sure things are going well.

"This is going to be easier to fight than just now!

"Right. I'm slow enough to go."

"The higher the original AGI, the higher the width of the effect seems to be..."

"Well, you said it was up 30%."

"Come on, it's time for the raid to start, ready?

"Ok! First from the south, then east, then north, right?

"That would happen if it was the same as earlier...... I just think it would be dangerous to make a decision from the start"

"For now, the goal is to destroy all enemies every 25 seconds! And in the next five seconds, we'll be back near the center, ready for the next wave!

"I like that"

"... Well, I think I'm here. I knew it would start from the south."

"Then I'll storm the cane, just like I did earlier, so give me cover!

"Right. The style of combat is just as good as it was earlier."

"Then I'll be the attractor, won't I? We need to stand around well..."

"Come on, I'm here! Then I'll be the first! Dash!"

Come on, it's the beginning of a revenge match!

passing beside the enemy's preceding swords and axe little ghosts, but this time nothing responds.

Apparently, you're not going to attack me unless you act like you earn Hate.

I'm running over with a dash, but I still have a distance to my goal.

But if you're a [Magic Sword] skill, you've got an attack to reach, and it's a preemptive attack first!

"Firebird!

As I wave through my sword, a bird of flame flies out of the tip of my sword and flies to the wand little devil.

"Firebird" is a ranged attack move that goes into a relatively initial move among [Magic Sword] skills.

So I don't suppose there's been any power attenuation... but the damage done won't reach 20%...

You're supposed to be on a higher level than the little ones just now, and you can't help it, can you?

I attacked the wand kid, but the other kid's still not responding to me.

Looks like the Sword Kid or the Axe Kid took on Hate all together by Sally, but haven't you linked these guys?

Anyway, I was able to rush up to the time when my sword would reach the wand little devil.

All you have to do is take him down!

"I'm coming! Starbreaker!"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"This completes the attack up to Wave 8..."

We were able to withstand the eighth raid.

I don't know the state of the other parties because I can't use Reid Chat, but the fact that they haven't been returned to the entrance yet means that every party has been successful in their defense.

Speaking of which, if it's Fletcher, can we check on the status of the other parties?

That's what I thought and opened my friends list, but I couldn't use the flecha...

After experimenting with a variety of other skills, the boundaries that had not reduced the power of the skills excessively were up to level 30 of advanced skills.

[Magic Sword] And even 'Star Slash'?

I try not to use the super skills because they are more powerful but I have problems with the cospa.

"The order of appearance up to Wave 8 starts in the south and goes counterclockwise until Wave 4, and now from Wave 5 it starts in the south and goes clockwise...... in what order does it come ahead?

"Hmm, can't you just imagine..."

In the meantime, we were able to cope with about 10 seconds of spare time, recovering in potion as we sorted out the situation so far.

Until now, it was easier because the order of appearance was predictable, but I wonder what happens next...

Is it clockwise or counter-clockwise for a south start after all?

"I'll come next! The direction is east!

Instructions fly from Setsu, who was on guard around.

Have I missed my expectations...

Anyway, I also use the dash to move at full speed to attack the wand child.

but the HP I reduced with the preemptive firebird is about 15%.

Just a little bit of these guys, but they're stronger than they were earlier!

"I can't spare you! Shrink!"

I also jump into the pocket of a wand little devil using the mobility skills that have been preserved until now.

From there, he succeeded in knocking down [Magic Sword] skills in a row and defeating Wand Kid at once.

If you check the situation around you, you haven't even defeated Bow Kid yet, and you still have three Sword Kids and Axe Kids left.

Bow boy's already started attacking the fairy cocoon, and we need to take him down as soon as possible!

I can't travel fast because the effect time of the dash has expired and I'm in cool-time, but I hurry up and get close to the bowboy and stab him in the stomach with a star slash anyway.

"Hal, thank you!

"It's okay! These guys are a little stronger than they were just now, so watch out!

"I know!

From there, me and Tsubaki also participated in the rest of the Little Ghost Crusade and managed to defeat it within 30 seconds.

But it couldn't have been that easy from there.

"Next, I'm coming! Orientation from the west! Move, move, move!

The next little ones appeared from the other side of the spectrum to be mean.

Honestly, you're highly motivated to kill sometimes, the operation here!

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Oh, you managed to just prevent all the cocoons from being destroyed..."

As Sally said, I only managed to prevent all cocoons from being destroyed.

However, the only number of cocoons left is two, which is also quite critical for the cocoon's HP.

The raids that came and went east, west followed in the north and south order.

I was able to handle it pretty easily because I was here in order up to Wave 8, but from there on out, it was really critical.

And after all 12 attacks, we were drinking potion and recovering near the center of the fairy cocoon.

That shouldn't be the end of it.

Anyway, the big boss and the "Sealed Ghost of Fairy Town" haven't been defeated yet.

They're running away with three HP bars, so they should be waiting for us after this, or even further ahead.

I need to get ready for battle without distraction...

When I think about it, I feel like my body is floating.

This is the usual metastatic reaction.

Apparently, the fight here is over.

Brothers, everyone else had been transferred to the same square.

And beneath our feet were two fairy cocoons that we thought we were protecting.
