Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

It just keeps running. Destroy all enemies there and keep moving toward the center.

Switch!

I've been entrusted with it.

"Come on, chiffon, go too."

"Huh!?"

Identify and target the most effective protozoa. As soon as someone gets hurt, another goes forward and inherits the battle. The wounded are immediately treated by the tent and Yuri's < Support Machine Technique >.

While working closely together, we will continue to run through all of them.

Without regret, the few elite exhibited high mobility, releasing unlimited supplies that had been stored up until now, and we headed to the center of the deepest part of the [Oshima of Flower Monkeys].

"Ugh! Stop!"

Stop everyone!

As he was defeating his rapidly growing enemies, he suddenly raised his voice. In response, Eye gives the whole order, and me and Letty hurry to stop each vehicle.

What happened?

For now, I've hardened my defenses.

Amy and Lapis Lazuli immediately form a defensive position that envelops us.

Usually, I don't have a lot of time to get the tent out, but Amy's Defense Machine is also used for this kind of thing.

From an area 5 meters away, the intensity of the magic power is suddenly increasing.

Sure enough, the spiritual power is too vast and it's flying white.

"I'm so dazzled I can't see it."

Along with Christina, I was a little ahead of me when I said, pointing forward. After confirming, Pong and Ariess nodded with their faces.

What I couldn't sense until I got so close was not the carelessness of Migage, but the limit of [Magic Vision].

“I mean, this is the center.”

Everyone tighter at Ai's words.

If we check the coordinates we sent in advance, it shows us where we're not that far from here. Perhaps the party that sent me this decided to get ready here.

"I summarized the route so far and sent the data to the analysis department. I've also uploaded all the information about the enemies that appeared in the KPs along the way.”

Yuri, who was always on the road, sends the results of this reconnaissance to his teammates who are standing by while forming a main force at the rear.

Now we can do our job even if we're all wiped out.

"White moon is no different than usual." I don't know what the hell is going on. "

The white moon, which was closely running alongside the "running spider," stood without disturbing its breath. When you take out the blue apple from the inventory, it starts to fade away. You nervous bastard.

"In the future, it is predicted that there will be a danger of exceeding the limit." Let's prepare carefully before we move on. ”

Eye says it in a nervous way.

An unknown realm, a place that could be seen as an anomaly from the outside. No matter what happens, it is not surprising. No matter how much you prepare, it won't be too much.

"It's probably a pretty strong contraindicated area." It's an abnormal land with countless powerful dragon veins (laylines) intertwined. ”

A lapis lazuli stands on the side of a field with a huge energy accumulation and performs a simple calibration. If she is an expert in the "contraindicated area", I'm sure she is.

"That said, I didn't expect such things to occur naturally." It's not like the Dragon Vein is gathered here anymore, but it even feels like it's branched countless times from here. ”

Perhaps the Dragon Vein was gathering from all directions at 360 degrees. That's why the power that is hidden in it is extinct, and the reason why it has created so much land is mysterious.

It's too confusing to investigate from the outside.

The lapis lazuli frowned.

Strong forces are like dazzling lights, and it is difficult to distinguish each one when they are gathered together. To solve the entangled yarn ball, I had to examine it while touching it directly.

"In other words, you can go inside and take a closer look." I'll take care of it! "

Letty, on the other hand, took a breath in her mouth. She is not the only one. Torka, Lacto, Amy, Chiffon, and Mikage. Everyone in this room had the same idea.

"In the first place, you can't come here and go home without a saw."

"That's true, too. So-"

Finally, Eye nods, prompting her to act.

With determination, we turn our fingers to the center.

I'm going.

Cristina thrust out her long spear and rinsed slowly. Before her body, the tip of the spear entered the field and ─ ─.

"This is..."

Ripples spread over the space as if they pierced the surface of the water. At first glance, it was in the woods, but there seemed to be a clear boundary.

"Yuri"

"I've already reported it."

Yuri answers the short call of Ai with sharpness.

She was relaying the obvious anomalies to the rear headquarters in real time.

Christina pulled out her spear and checked its condition. As a result, it was found that there was no problem.

This invisible wall doesn't seem to be blocking entry.

Phew

Kristina recovered herself and stepped forward.

She progressed slowly, but without hesitation, and eventually her body disappeared beyond the boundaries. It was as if she had optical camouflage, and only her figure had disappeared in the dark woods.

“Oh no, I should have checked with the drone first.”

“For the time being, there are no reports of Christina's death. We'll follow later.”

With a little bit of remorse, Leti and the servant with the eyes on them proceeded.

The ripple of the giant body spread vertically, but it eventually disappeared.

Ledge-san

What's the matter?

At that time, Yuri shouted.

She looked up and said, keeping the window of her friends list open.

It's impossible to communicate with Ai and Christina anymore.

"I see..."

Apparently, it's out of bounds.

Until now, even if it was at the bottom of the ocean or in the back of the cave, it didn't happen that the Tel function could not be used, but it seems that it is different here. That's what happens when the party that made the first arrival does not return to death, and the sound signal remains inaccessible.

Well then, let's go after them.

If you can't telephone, you don't have to wait.

I move my tent and go through the woods.

Along the way, after having the feeling of putting a face on the cold water, the sight of the surrounding suddenly changed.

"This is..."

Ledge, we're all here.

Just inside the boundary, Letty was there. They must have been dumbfounded by this sight.

The gray, decaying stone walls formed a vast circle. I wonder if it's surrounded by staircases. The walls are lined with giant stone statues that probably mimic monkeys. The details are unknown because most of them are heavily damaged or weathered.

Above all, there is a cobblestone stage in the center. A vast, flat, circular stage. It was best known as the circular arena.

There, four players were fighting a beast covered in black tarpaulin.

That's it!

"It was a party that preceded it. It matches the number of people we reported.”

Eye says in a sober voice as hard as she can.

The four of them seemed to be forming a unified party on a type-lycan slope. Dog-shaped and heavyweight warrior boy, cat-shaped and shield-shaped youth and mechanic girl, hammer-shaped and lightweight warrior girl. It must be a well-balanced composition.

Unaware of our arrival, they are wrapped in black haze and continue to fight against large beasts with uncertain outlines.

"You're not going to cover me?"

“No, that circular stage seems to be separated by a transparent barrier, and Christina's rush did not destroy it.”

I guess Eye had already tried. My question will be answered immediately. In front of us, the four players are fighting even though they are wounded.

The young man's shield was already missing, and the boy's sword was broken. Perhaps the mechanics' catalysts are exhausted too. The three of them surrounded each other in such a way as to protect a girl.

“It's probably a magic mirror-like structure. All of our approaches didn't make it through.”

Eye says in a stiff voice.

In the meantime, the thick arms of the beast are blowing up and ravaging the girl.

Ai-san, look at this.

Yuri opens the map window.

The current location information was being rewritten.

"The most important recapture objective area; the prison arena of the guard Koshua-Etagnoi, 89% encroachment...?"

What was written there was a line full of unfamiliar words.

But there's one thing I know.

"Calm down, White Moon."

The white moon scraping its hoofs beside it. His eyes are sharp and clearly angry.

The names in the place names are common to those of the Shirakami beasts that have appeared so far. In other words, White Moon is also related. What he didn't realize was that the mysterious Vale kept him secret.

Stroke the white fur of the white moon to reveal anger and calm it down. That's when it happened.

"Ahh!?"

Letty screamed.

At the end of her line of sight, the four planes finally stopped moving completely. Shortly thereafter, a distorted and noisy announcement echoed across the arena.

... the defeat of the Challenger... was decided... The next one...... is...... he...... he...... he......

Many mysteries remain.

But there is only one thing left to do.

"Let's go, Mr. Ledge."

That's right.

Letty was a serious gaze.

Together with her, we'll run away. He jumped over the high wall and slammed into a circular stage that spreads downwards.

I was a little worried, but it seems there is no limit of six people per party. Everyone stepped onto the stage without a single person missing.

{... a new one... appeared...! The next...... begins! '

Announcements flowed, and the beast standing in the middle of the stage disappeared into a black mantle. What appeared was a much smaller, weaker black beast.

It's weak, so you can just knock it down.

"Your arms are ringing. We should reunite with that monster right away.”

Lettie and the others raise their Qi.

A small black beast barks at them.

With that, the battle began.
