Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 174 "White Wing Guardian"

Enough time for Links to show up, and the White Moon led us to a “shrine” that wasn't marked on the map.

Is this the temple?

Made of white stone like marble or limestone, it is artificial in shape similar to the lantern of a shrine.

However, its size slightly exceeds my back length, and almost all of the surface is thick and mossy, and moreover, about half of it has collapsed so that it does not retain its original shape.

You look worn out.

"Is there a boss here?

Looking up at the “shrine”, which only kept its height, Lacto and the others leaked their honest feelings.

I took pictures and recorded them from each direction as I walked around.

"So, Links. It's up to you to decide who gets in."

"Ah, ah. That's what I'm going to do...."

Links with bad dentures glimpse backwards.

The players who had arrived at the scene had a puzzling expression in front of the “shrine” of desire that had finally arrived.

"I've never heard of you being so worn out. All the“ shrines ”marked on the map were more like this... they kept their original form."

When he saw how long he had been exposed to the wind and rain, Lynx tilted his neck as he saw the white shrine where the corners had been sharpened and cracked.

The people behind them also know that this “shrine” is different from the others, and I am the one who raises my hand and advances.

"Does Lynx know about other shrines?

"Some of the other parties in the same band are on their way. That's where the information comes from... here."

That said, he manipulated the display and showed a screenshot of the “shrine” taken by the band members.

"Isn't it beautiful? Compared to this,"

I agree with Letty's thoughts as she peeked over my shoulder.

Probably in the same shape as the decaying “shrine” in front of you.

However, there was no major collapse, and the moss covering the surface was neglected.

"There's an animal sculpture on the pedestal."

Toka compares the image with the decayed shrine and points it out.

The shrine shown in the photograph had a fine sculpture of a snake on the pedestal.

"This snake is the guardian of this shrine."

The more Lynx said, the more he nodded.

The Guardian is literally the existence to protect the “shrine”, so this event is said to be the Boss Rush.

When you touch a jewel embedded in the pedestal of the shrine, you move to a separate space dedicated to fighting the same guardian as the statue.

If you beat the Guardian, you will earn the jewels, and if you lose, you will be thrown in front of the Shrine.

"There are jewels in this shrine... I think we can fight the Guardians."

"The problem is that the statue of the Guardian at stake is shattered and unknown. Then there's no way to plan ahead."

Lynx shrugged her shoulders about the trouble.

In other words, the "shrine", which is not marked on the map guided by the White Moon, seems to be a step up in difficulty, as it has to be challenged by the Guardian in a scene of collision without previous information.

"So what do we do? You've decided who's coming in."

Turn to Lynx and ask.

Approximately half of the players who were discussing something behind him had already disappeared.

"When I got to the Ledge, I thought I would be able to attack the shrine efficiently, but it was hard-mode. Some of them will think it's a waste of time."

Links blurred as he watched the player's back as he walked back the way he came.

Then he sighed and took out a nanosmoke cigarette and swallowed it.

"Lynks aren't going home?

The hunter smiles hard as he exhales chocolatey brown smoke.

"No way. I'd rather roll."

He looks back and summons the people who stood behind him.

He himself is, but unified by weapons like bows, hunting guns, pigeons, axes, and so on, and equipped like a hunter's party.

Is it a characteristic of the band to which Lynx and the others belong?

"Some of the others are going to come in. Will you give this shrine to us?"

"Mhh...."

Lynx said as she glanced at Letty, who swelled her cheeks with dissatisfaction.

"Okay. Be careful."

"Oh, thank you."

Hold Letty back, I'll take it.

Lynx cut his knife and approached the “decayed shrine”, touching his fingertips with a scratchy jewel.

At that moment, his body and that of the party member are wrapped in light and scratched out.

"... it feels more fantastic than I thought."

In this game, I say with a little hesitation to the unusual sight.

I didn't think I could see the shift in this game, which uses trains even to move from town to town.

"I really let you go.... Mr. Reggie, are you happy?

"Oh, I'm sorry about Letty, but it looks like there's still a shrine."

I looked at the white moon.

He was already smelling the surrounding scent as he tried to leave for the next place.

"I don't mind coming. It also gives way to the shrine. What do we do?"

Speak to the other players who were on the spot.

As a result, it was me, Letty, Lacto and Amy, Toka and Mikage who followed the walking White Moon tail.

After all, everyone but Lynx and the Hunting Club retreated.

"Those people are the worst! I can't believe you're here trying to get as much as you want!

It's good that nobody's gone, and Letty's angry as she walks through the woods.

"I can't believe I got tailed and ran away as soon as I found out it was more difficult than any other shrine!

"Well, if that's the point, did the Links make sense?

"He was the first one to come out when Ledge called me."

Relatively speaking, Links' ratings seem to have improved slightly, above all.

Well, the negative rating went to zero.

"What about the next shrine?

"You know what to do."

Letty answers my question with her eyebrows raised.

"It's a challenge."

Isn't it?

Well, of course.

Lactos nodded at Letty's words.

"My Deva King flowers roar. Fufufufu...."

Toka leaked a suspicious smile with her hands on the mouth of the new sword.

Mikage is also making fists in both hands to show his mood.

Well, I guess so.

Nod bitterly laughing at the answer as expected.

And we arrived at the next shrine after more than enough time.

It's a new shrine.

"This is also decaying. I don't even know the original shape of the statue."

Letty looks up at the newly found “decayed shrine” and says.

The toca also approached to see that the statue that was supposed to be on the pedestal had been smashed to pieces without retaining its original shape.

There are jewels too. If you touch this, you can go. "

Lacto shouts out, pointing to a crystal clear jewel that fits into the pedestal of a shrine that is about to collapse.

As soon as we're ready, we'll start fighting Guardians we haven't seen yet.

"What will happen to White Moon?

Toka said while stroking the head of the white moon sitting next to the shrine.

Speaking of which, how does the “shrine” and its guardian relate to the White Moon?

In some cases, they may not participate in the fight against the Guardian...

"Well, just try it once and you'll see."

That's true, too.

After all, there's only one way to confirm it to us.

"Everybody ready?

As a representative, I will touch the jewels and check with Letty, who was preparing them.

It seems that fights may begin as soon as they are transferred, so it is better to put aside the types of buffs that can be applied in advance.

"Letty, it's okay!

"Lacto, oh, my God."

"Amy's fine."

"And, Toka, we're ready!

"... mikage, you can cum"

Confirming that each of the five raised their hands, they nodded.

I'm already ready.

"All right, let's go -"

Touch your fingertips with a clear jewel that fits into the pedestal while stiffening your expression slightly in tension.

At that moment, the cold wind winds wind around us and the surrounding landscape is switched by the flash.

"Ugh, my eyes...."

"Why didn't you meditate?"

"I was alarmed....."

Keep your eyes down and look around you.

Once upon a time, we were standing in a deep forest, like the ruins of an old arena.

"This is....."

It's a ruin, isn't it?

Letty raised her eyebrows without hesitation while holding the hammer.

The circular square is made of the same white stone as the “shrine” and is surrounded by high walls, beyond which there is an unmanned audience seat.

Except for countless cracks in the walls and grass disturbing the ground, it is a fine building.

Wonderful space.

"Still, I can't find the Guardian...."

It was then that Letty leaned her neck with a suspicious face, raising her voice as if she had fallen in love with the majestic sight.

Mikage suddenly looked up at the sky and shouted.

"Coming from above!

"Hmm!?

In a moment, the great shadow envelops us.

Shortly after the reflective scattering, a huge body swayed the ground and stepped down, dancing around with pure white feathers.

"This is...."

"And chickens!?

What suddenly appeared from above was a giant chicken with pure white feathers and a red chicken crown.

Ugh!

The chicken hisses with a loud sound that rips through the sky.

That was the start of the war.

"Here we go!

Yes!

Letty and the others arrive at a large winged chicken.

The first Guardian battle for us started.
