World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

After the machining, I thank Mr Ceres and Mr Steiner, and I try to return with Teresia to Mrs Orelus Pavilion - but on the way.

"- Hey, did you hear that? The North Star guys are taking a promotion test right now."

"Aren't we talking about the fact that there haven't been a lot of promoters since" Named "came out in the" Forest of Callings "? Are you gonna be okay?

"It's the top sequence in the Eighth Ward, you can't possibly not take the exam sooner or later. I wonder if the day will come when we'll be at the top..."

Georg, the North Star, knew in his license indications that he had fallen off the top, but the other explorers still don't seem to know that the top has been replaced by us.

"It's been ten years since I was reincarnated. It's early for time. I guess I'll give up promotion and even my daughter-in-law will look for it in earnest."

"Let's try to be a little more uptight before we do. Income, life, going to the upper districts would be different again. Even at the top of District Eight, it's the difference between heaven and earth."

I've experienced all kinds of quarters in the short term, so I know how they feel. Most of all, I think they offered me a privileged place as a bed from the start.

More than that, there's one thing I've been curious about in my current story. "The North Star" Paula Starr "is diving in the labyrinth on the promotion test, and" Named "is out, he said. The lack of information on exactly what kind of demon it is means that he has not been able to bring back more information even after his arrival. Was the Explorer encountered a sacrifice, or did he have to flee?

Sometimes, like a juggernaut, individuals of misplaced strength appear, like mutations. But they, too, would be confident in their strength because they were number one in the eighth array. Putting in a cross spear is an act of scratching pride.

…………

"Oh, sorry... hey, I was just thinking"

I stopped when I realized. Teresia looks at this one worried.

If you lose your life in the battle against demons, that's it, and there are more things you can't help. The Asians are gaining a role in the mercenary good offices because they can no longer choose their way of life at their will.

It doesn't mean there's no problem as long as you're alive. Imagine when Teresia lost her life once, she couldn't help but feel anger and helplessness, knowing that nothing could be done about the past.

The arrogant idea of being able to help all the Seekers must not be held. I just want to help as much as I see in my eyes. Otherwise, no matter how safely you do and succeed, I feel something is different.

Georg from "The North Star" was a good one. I want people in this labyrinth city who have gained a little bit of acquaintance to survive all the time - I can't help but think so.

"... All right. I'm sorry, Theresia. I wanted to take a break in preparation for tomorrow's exam, but my plans are rolling up. When I leave, I dive only for those who seem to be able to go. I can't let you do this at my discretion."

…………

Teresia snorts. And after a little thought, he took my hand and shook it.

Those hands also look like they're wearing scaly fingered gloves, but they're not gear - part of your body as a Lizardman.

But the white skin visible between the scales is surrounded by the warmth of human blood.

"... oh yeah. When we get home, we'll have Madoka procure a throwing weapon. We need to capitalize on our new skills."

…………

"Uh... can I keep my hands where they are? Aren't you embarrassed?"

"... Huh!

You seem to have worried about me and held my hand to reassure me, but I'm starting to get embarrassed because I've been holding it.

Theresia hurries to let go of her hand. And turn your back on me and hold on to the lizard mask, but you can see it turning red from behind.

She looks back at this one with a snack. Now it was my turn to reassure her, and when she tried to laugh naturally, she caught a slight but visible redness.

(... maybe he had erythema from the beginning. It has been so since the beginning, but it feels pure)

As a matter of fact, I don't know what life Teresia went through when she was human. If you just can't talk, and the fundamentals of your personality haven't changed, then maybe being subhuman hasn't changed your personality itself.

But it doesn't matter if the telegia that's back in the human race stays the same or changes dramatically.

…………

"Oh, have you settled down yet? Well, let's go."

Theresia nodded, not making footsteps, walking quietly side-by-side. Few people were surprised to see her, even if she walked through the city already, because she'd seen her with us so many times.

◆ ◇ ◆

When I went back to my quarters and talked to Madoka about wanting a throwing knife, she could tell me if a small knife of the type 'Small Dark' would be good. Since demand is high as a weapon used by bandit jobs, it seems difficult to match the numbers, but I was able to purchase six sets of silver coins for ten. I want to use it during "Double Throw," so I kept it as a multiple of Ni.

Never mind the weight of a throwing knife if it's a game or something, but like arrow bullets, a metal knife doesn't get silly as a weight either. I also bought a belt with a holder to hold the knife, and Theresia was wearing it quickly to make sure it was worn.

They also delivered reinforced armor for Misaki and Suzuna, so quickly the two are getting dressed as Madoka helps them dress.

My maid, Millet, made me a cup of tea when she saw where we were back, so I take a breather with Elitia, Theresia. Mr. Fifty Storms said he was asleep, but that he was about to wake up.

Melissa seems to have liked Scion and is playing with Scion in the garden without going back to the demolition station. It also looks exquisite around obsessing with demon demolitions, but I don't think there are any bad people for animal lovers. It could be my assumption.

"It would be more efficient to explore in District Seven than to proceed with exploration carefully in District Eight, and it looks like you could be promoted at the right time."

"Thinking about my fellow elitists, I'd like to go up there in the shortest possible time... but it's still going to take a while"

"... reports of the defeat of the Herring Monkey Marquis, who attacked our party, have not yet reached the Alliance. That demon has the nature to capture and subordinate a defeated human being... so many Explorers have already been captured."

"Monkey Marquis... monkey demon"

The act of subordinating people would have to be highly intelligent. The demons we've fought so far, even bipedal demons like orcs, didn't feel intelligence. However, it is possible that in the future there will also be those who will use tactics against the enemy.

Demiharpy also had the power to wipe out the Seeker if he fell into shape. That's what I think and recall, but the three harpies I captured remain sent to the Demon Ranch. In order to incorporate The Song of Sleep into the tactics, you will need to take a trip to the ranch once.

"... but subordinating... means finding value in use for the defeated person and keeping him alive. My fellow elitists may still be alive"

That's why Elitia is also trying to get back to where she was deprived of her people again.

But being alive doesn't easily mean salvation. Elitia lays down her face, grabbing her chest with each of her own golden hair bundles.

"... I will never forgive you... I will kill you... how dare you do such a terrible thing..."

"Elitia......!

When coming to battle, the reason Elitia transformed her personality was not only because she had the sword of the curse.

It was pure anger. Hate for demons - Elitia saw so much brutality against her peers with her eyes.

But Suzuna, who was coming out of the room, was hugging her from behind without saying a word, about to turn into a ghostly shape.

"... you had a hard time. But it's okay. It's okay..."

"... ah..."

Szuna unwraps her fingers one by one with her hands gripping her tight hair. Masaki, who was looking at it sideways and with a sinking face, tries to straighten Elitia's hair with her hands and straighten it out like it was originally.

"... if I did this, I'd perm it for you, wouldn't I? That might be cute, too, but I think Mr. Ellie would rather be salad straight. Yikes. You know, your brother thinks so, doesn't he?

"Oh, right. I don't know how to say this... but when I leave myself to anger, I get worried that I'm going to be impotent about something. First, think about protecting yourself. Body, mind, everything."

"Mr. Ellie is trying to hurt himself. You can't do that... when it's hard, sneeze my hair"

That's what I say. Suzuna offering her dark hair. When Elitia lays her own hands on those hands, she starts to shake her shoulders and cry.

"Phew... ugh... yes... but... me, a child... weak... I couldn't help... myself, I ran away... I couldn't do anything for you... eh"

"... Still, if you decide to go help, let's do what we can. You don't even have to bother the top searchers to get close, you're bound to go again. We had elitists, so we've been won. Let's show that monkey what human strength is."

"... he's so strong... a man can be eaten if he loses... a woman..."

"The guys I've been fighting for were just as vicious as being eaten if I lost. But if you do it carefully, you can win. Safely, occasionally stand around and do it intact whenever possible. That's the 'shortest' for me... and I don't mean to sound great to my senior elite."

Elitia looks at me, wiping her bright red eyes. I don't blame you, your eyes are stubborn - I want you to help me, that's what I'm saying all over my body.

Level 9 swordsman. She dived through many of the training grounds, so hopelessness had to deepen when she saw an adversary in distress who could not win alone and could not get help.

With us now, we still can't win. All levels to ten, or - still, it might be reckless to challenge just one party.

You should still have more company. Companions looking up the same way from District VIII, people fighting in the upper districts - assembling people for a boss crusade shouldn't be a violation of the rules or anything.

"It calms me down to have Tin hold me, but you want adult inclusiveness here. Brother, don't flinch around in that place, see?"

"Yes, no... more than me. That, what. Mr. Fifty Storms is more inclusive."

"What... what? Inclusiveness…? I can't see the story."

Mr. Fifty Storms, who has just been awake, is confused. When Elitia looks back and realizes her eyes are bright red, Mr. Fifty Storms looks at me. It's not like you suspect I made you cry, 'What do you mean?' He seems to wonder.

"... uh... I only know somehow. Mr. Ellie, I don't blame myself. If it's hard, tell your sister. level all the way down, but because life is seniors"

"... I will. Thanks."

"What... what? What happened to you all of a sudden... what should I do when I'm like this..."

"Give him a hug, that's the best thing for Mr. Ellie right now. That's what your brother says."

"Oh yeah...? I don't know if I should..."

That being said, Mr. Fifty Storms listens to Misaki and gives a hug to the sitting elitist.

The bulge of the longitudinal sweater that I love to wear as a room outfit protrudes forward and is pushed at all costs against the body of the elite tier. If Mr. Fifty Storms had been a dental hygienist, he would have caught up with the treatment, although he had no particular intention of doing so.

"... oh, thank you... but stay away from it because it's hot"

"Oh, yeah? Yeah, but good, you're back to your usual Mr. Ellie."

Elitia takes a seat. I thought I should get some rest, but she came straight over here.

And he manipulates the license and gives it to me. There was a display of her skills there.

"... okay?

"It doesn't matter what level you're on or what you've been through. Treat me like everyone else, as part of the party."

"Right...... ok. When it comes to skills, I sometimes ask you to take this, but the basics prioritize your hopes."

"Yeah...... okay. But, as much as possible, take Alicht's opinion into account."

The look on Elitia's face, saying so, also appears to be afraid to see an indication of her license - that the 'Curse Blade' skill is something so peculiar.

Skill Points Remaining: 3

The skills she was showing and those she hasn't seen yet. Although the performance of the skills already acquired can also be seen, I will first attempt to collate the information obtained from this display.

The skill with X would be the skill of 'Swordsman'. Now that it's a curse blade, I can't get it anymore.

(Mastery of the Curse Blade… Does "▼" on Berserk mean that it is a risky mastery? Bloody lore...... I can't believe I can't see the effect unless I take it)

If you don't swing valuable skill points, you don't see the effect. Still, Elitia got the 'Berserk' with ▼ - why is that?

"... 'Sword Extreme 2' is a skill in unlocking the power of a sword with hidden performance... I was forced to draw the power of this sword. At that time, Berserk was automatically acquired."

Berserk is a skill that The Scarlet Emperor Sword imposes. The equipper will not be able to escape the curse.

But I also think 'Red Eye' is an inherent skill in curse blades, but it doesn't have '▼' on it.

"Is Blossom Blade a skill gained since it became a Curse Blade?

"Yes. I used four skill points, but I took that on my own volition. The brigade people praised me for saying it was the power of the cursed sword... but I was meditating my eyes on the 'Berserk' thing"

"... to do it as a companion, even if you know it will be a risk"

"Yeah... I was a 'research process'. The brigade people think that if they can handle the curse weapon without risk, they can stand at the top of the labyrinth country. My mental weakness is the problem in losing to 'Berserk' and he said if I grow up I might be able to overcome it... but..."

While waiting for 'it may be', Elitia's spirit wears off. Because she suffers from the very fact that it can hurt her people.

"... Red Eye is probably a skill with no risk of cursing. Blossom blades don't even have a mark on them, so I think that's a good idea. But there are many other attractive skills. Leave your skill points for when you return to Swordsman"

"... no. I'll keep 'Red Eye'. Because I want to be a part of the party when I have to."

"Right...... ok"

"Only when it first activates, just in case, stay away... please"

Everyone snorts. And Elitia got 'Red Eye' at her will.

"... I really should have taken this skill... 'Hit and Away' before I was cursed. Because I was given experience efficiently by Suzuna."

Hit and Away - If you were taking this, after the elitist attacked you would have an increased chance of hitting the Suzuna bow, making it easier to stab the stomach. Even the pair, the cultivation of Suzuna would have progressed efficiently.

One harvest was that even if the position changed, Elitia was able to use the skills acquired during the Swordsman era. In other words, it is believed that returning from the curse blade to the swordsman will not render the Blossom blade unusable.

"Well, now that Ellie's skill consultation is over, it's my turn and Tin's turn ~"

"I haven't had one, either. Shall we have the three of us together?"

"Well, I'm going to be quick... and guys, I need to talk to you about one thing. We decided it's a day off, so we're all free to decide what to do."

I'm going to infiltrate The Calling Forest. Explaining why, no one said they were leaving a message.

At the end of the break, whether 'support exaltation' is working. After we had confirmed it, we were going to take on new skills and try a new labyrinth.
