Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle
Episode 187: Coming Full
A huge shadow covered the ground with parallax and falling white debris.
Large bats whose membranes were torn apart by sharp shining spears fell as they scratched algae.
"Be careful not to be crushed!
The white giant reaches beneath the shadows without letting Letty's voice get in her hair.
The shock that shakes the earth and screams like tearing silk.
The giant bat struck his back and took less damage than that.
"Where's Christina!?
"Yes, he's alive."
Christina stood up and responded to Eye's voice.
Though he keeps his weight with his spear instead of his cane, the damage is gradually healing as he enters the cabin.
He fell from that height onto a hard ground, but he was alive.
"Skill is a requirement of the Orders. Falling from heights is also handy."
That's what Christina says to make a smile.
I heard that if I had all the skills of the behavioral system, I would be able to move like a tune, but I didn't think I'd be tough enough.
"Besides, Lieutenant Commander, the Guardian is about to rise."
"I know. We'll take care of this, and Christina will rest in the hut."
"Thank you very much. I'll join you as soon as I recover."
Christina takes refuge in the hut, bowing her head to a reliable eye.
I can't get away from the hut, so I keep shooting the Guardian on camera from the spot.
In the meantime, Eyes set up their own objects for placement.
He's coming.
When Amy holds her shield, the giant bat slowly lifts her body.
A huge body as big as my cabin feels like being crushed even if I just walked around a little.
The eye surrounding the bat endures the pressure and projects the timing of the attack.
The bat stands up with white fur and strips its sharp teeth.
She stared at the little girls with her black eyes and cried out in a frustrating and high-handed voice.
And the moment they understand that they will not yield to intimidation, it takes an imminent stance.
"Nh! 'Stanguard'!
Amy jumps in front of a slightly surrounding Guardian.
At that moment, a springy bat's forearm was struck by her standing shields.
"Kh, you're punching good."
Amy smiles invincibly as she crosses the ground and is lowered a few meters back.
The bat's blow broke through her strong defenses and inflicted minor wounds.
"Isn't this a blow if Letty and the others get it?
"Amy is the toughest one at this party. We have to be careful not to eat as much as possible."
Letty and Lacto watched as they fought.
If it's a blow that pierces Amy's defenses, they'll lose more than half of their lives.
With the specification that LP is also a cost of technique use, if you get shot in the shadows, your chances of attacking are reduced as well.
"But Amy's recovery is within reach. Leave the defense to her, and we'll focus on the attack."
Eye pulls out Rapier and says.
Following her words, Letty and the others started acting.
"For now, it's better to stop moving. Erosive Frozen Arrow !
Lacto's silver arrow pierces the white fur of the bat.
At that moment, ice rapidly occurs around the arrows, covering the body and inhibiting the movement of the bat.
"Uiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!" Rock Crush "!
A heavy blow to the head of a moving bat.
It shakes the hard skull and causes dizziness.
"Next, take my blow. ― Punching.
Amy, the shield of the party, also rolls into the offensive if the enemy stops moving.
Her sharp blow pierces thick skin and crushes hard bones.
Letty and her colleagues work together accurately and without words from the experience they have cultivated so far.
The constant chain of fists, hammers and arrows flirts with the bat and does not create a counterattack gap.
However, it seems that the guardian of this shrine is better than the thirteenth chicken that fought yesterday.
If you are scared by the cooperation of the three, you will not lose your posture greatly, and even your expression seems to have some leeway -
"Letty, Amy, keep your distance!
The eager voice of the eye echoes.
The two people who heard it jumped reflexively and left the big bat.
At that moment, the bat turned large on the spot and broke off the ground with both wings.
Ah, no! Oh, no! I almost died getting caught up in this!
"Preliminary operation not too much!? Thanks for letting me know, Eye."
Without Eye's voice, Letty and Amy would have had that blow.
They convey their gratitude to Eye, who saved her life.
"That's why I realize that I'm taking a step back from my usual routine and giving instructions as I look at the war situation. I'll call you back when it's too dangerous, so you two stay focused on the attack."
"Thank you very much. Now, sweeten your words -" Swirl "!
He nodded to his speechless eyes, and Letty and the others slipped back into the enemy's pocket.
Eye's eyes and judgment are certain to see the battle conditions cultivated by the Knights, and they evade the critical situation without difficulty under proper command.
Eye herself sometimes joined the attack, but with the support arts, Letty's abilities were enhanced, supporting the base of the fight in aspects other than command.
"Wow...."
I stand by the cabin and I'm amazed as I cut the shutter.
Eyes are unfamiliar to Letty and the others.
But they are avoiding danger at Eye's behest, with the same high level of collaboration as usual.
Letty's abilities were high, but Eye's command, adaptability, and responsiveness were remarkable.
"What do you think? That's our deputy commander."
Christina, who was resting, opened the door and stood in front of her.
The voice is proud, and I know that I've always admired Eye very much.
"To be honest, the Knights of the Eagles never really cared about Eyes or other members because Astra was too prominent... I think I realized it was because I was part of the offensive team."
"That's right. We're not like everyone in the Silver Wings, but we're still proud to be different from the average person around here. How many hours do you think you've spent in this game?"
At the end, she laughs at her words with a little joke.
Though the time spent is not directly linked to strength, they are a peculiar race that is leaning from the bottom of their minds into this world.
"But that bat is tough, too."
Christina clouds her expression.
Beyond her gaze, the bats, which are still under constant rush by the eyes, still have plenty of strength.
"The damage has gone well, but the bat's ability to heal seems to be quite strong. It's subtly balanced and not very sharp."
One more push, not enough momentum.
That's how Christina stood up.
She had a spear and soon returned her clothes to the Knights' light armor.
"If you're not equipped for speed, you'll be better at fighting."
I see. But you can rest a little longer. "
Yes?
I push Christina back into the cabin to show her motivation, and I put my hand on her shoulder.
"I'm not as good as my real job, but I can fight a little. I've had enough pictures, and I'm going to help you."
"Yes, it's okay! I can fight enough!
For now, let's fill up the LP.
"But you can't leave the cabin, can you, Reggie?
"It's okay. That's what they do."
I manipulate the inventory and take it out.
A drone that can be assembled into several parts.
"... maybe that's the rumored DAF?"
"There's only one out this time. We're in the process of refurbishing two or more connected systems."
Place the drone on the ground and grip the controller.
"All right, do it - Crazy Warrior!"
The rotary blades (propellers) with sharp blades start turning at once.
The fluffy, tight, compact aircraft jumped out of the wind with a lot of momentum.
