World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

Episode 118: The Dissolution of the Alliance

The giant crab is pushed back by Mr. Serafina and backs off. I was dragged by the bounced mass of the magnum - too big to control the weight of the magnum myself.

But there's nothing like self-destructing by weight. The joints of the giant crab lift their stiffness, but as they hold up with their nails raised in the sand, they move on to a counterattack.

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Star merciless headstand" begins charging "Guillotine"

· "Serafina" activates "Breathe of Immobility" Counter Chance Increased

· "Serafina" activates "Jen Royalty" Knockback against "Serafina" is disabled

(10) is slowly swung up - different from the first attack, a sharpened pure kill. Even before that, Mr. Serafina did not waver.

"Come... I will never move from here...!

Mr. Serafina's level is three times higher than that of a giant crab - still, the blow of the (scissors) was above her defense.

From all over the giant crab, something like black magic rises. I heard whispering from right around the corner before it completely covered the cloak.

What I hear is - the knife on my back. The spider is talking to me.

'- With a blade of grudge, you can't scratch me. Master, call my name. "

"I join the support, too. Even if my arm can be repaired, it won't work for you."

I have nothing but faith in that reliable word now. I put my hands on the knife and activate my skills.

"Let's go...... eh, Ariadne, Muracumo!

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Alicht" activates "Backstand" Target: "Serafina"

"- Mr. Serafina, we're in!

"Huh... Got it...!!

There are things to do before surprise. While appreciating that unmistakable decision, I watched two machine-arms appear in front of Mr. Serafina.

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Supported Defense 1" of "Alicht" is activated Target: Serafina

· "Alicht" requests temporary assistance from "Ariadne the Machine God" Target: Serafina

· "Ariadne the Machine God" activates "Guard Arm"

· 'Serafina' activates' Aura Shield '

· " merciless headstand" activates "guillotine" "guard arm" reduces power

A magically wrapped Xu makes no sense of air resistance at all, and it is finally swinging down at a speed to see - the two "guard arms" take it to pinch it with dimensional unmaddening sophistication, reducing its power.

"Take it... I can... haha...!!

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Serafina" activates "Shield Parry" Disable "Guillotine" " Merciless Slab" pauses action

With Mr. Serafina's skill, the giant crab exposes itself to total defenselessness - but now he will be pursued if he runs away.

"- The guard arm is damaged. Recommend to the Party to Retreat '

"Sorry...... but only this blow......!

◆ Current situation ◆

· "Alicht" activates "General of the Lords" Party Stats Increased

· 'Alicht' activates' Meteor Poke '

The moment I roll out that move, I remember that feeling, like I'm getting my hands on a murky spider from behind. My body no longer belongs to me and integrates with the 'Star Machine Sword (Murakumo)' -.

◆ Current situation ◆

Site damage of " merciless truncator" Attack drop Defense drop

At the moment when the magic wrapped around the waving beard disappeared, as I rolled out the poke, the mullah spider left my hand and stabbed me in the beam wrapped around the purple light, putting in a huge crack.

"...... Gwala la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!!

Just like when a Suzuna arrow is hit, a giant crab speaks out - and I realize it. Suzuna's arrow stands on the edge of the giant crab's mouth, and that's one of his weaknesses.

"What... on that sturdy crust, a crack..."

"Mr. Serafina, while you're at it... Huh!

Speak up to Mr. Serafina, who is grumpy, and I will retreat with her.

"- Arichtock, still behind... Huh!

(Huh... what an obsession...!

The giant crab keeps shaking up the giant crab and comes after it without bothering. Even the surviving 'Sandwich Sizzlers' are shaking up their chin, as they respond to that movement.

But we try to jump in and escape into the passage between the rock walls. The giant crab that finally stopped tracking was watching us with its eyes, but never came after us any more.

Mr. Roland's soul captured in The Soul Tentacle - its brilliance has not yet been lost. But I don't know how much a body detached from the soul holds.

"Roland... heh, Roland, get back to me... whoa!

"- Mr. Daniela, no! If you mess up so much, your belly child..."

"... no...!!

Scion, who was escaping first - seeing Mr. Roland put on that back, Mr. Daniela shakes off her fellow woman and takes it.

Looking around, there was a grey figure a little further away. After escaping using The Return Scroll, I guess I came back to see how it went.

But he laughs distorted at the edge of his mouth and turns his back on the spot when he realizes he is being watched by me, without speaking to his companions, and without speaking to Mr. Daniela.

I couldn't be now, willing to chase him down and question him. I was the only one who was aware of Gray's existence, and no one else was being turned to attention.

No one can utter a word. Members of the 'Alliance', who managed to escape safely, were also all in a state of self-loss.

I approached Theon and saw Mr. Roland.

He looks asleep. Your breathing sensations are very long, your skin is blue even if you live, and there are no signs of waking up from sleep.

"… carry him to the medical clinic. Thank you very much, Lord Atobe, for your cooperation. Adeline should have arranged to transport the 'Arachnemage' she was capturing to the ranch. I'll tell him to come up to the report later."

"Mr. Serafina... that demon..."

As if the beach were my thing, the giant crab turns its back on this one - and where it was going to some extent, I'm blind all the time.

"Named" keeps targeting the first person you encounter. If we weren't members of Mr. Roland's party, we wouldn't be attacking again - but once we engaged, we could be remembered by our enemies, too.

"That demon emerged under extremely special conditions. Even when compared to the normal level 8 'named', the ability to have it is very dangerous. I only used it once this time, but in theory it's a magic that makes a golem, which could only make a golem the number of 'ghost sisters' hunted...... then crusading is difficult even for us guild saber troops"

But sooner or later, the stampede will happen if we leave the demons that emerge undefeated. Mr. Serafina knew that, and he went on to say it carelessly.

"Request backup from Guildsaber HQ. You can't just leave that demon like this."

"… how many days can that support come"

"Fast and three days...... if it takes long, it will be about a week. Originally, 'named' is recommended to be crusaded by the party encountered. The safety management of each district is entrusted to the searchers of the district… so there is no urgent need for backup except after the stampede has occurred"

- Then, when you encounter a 'named' that you can't really win, the Seeker will have to flee. And then stampede happens, and a lot of people get involved.

Guildsaber is not an organization whose primary purpose is to protect seekers. You mean a group of people who can't stay away from the Seekers, keep them under surveillance and maintain order - but Mr. Serafina tried to help us, even by joining the fight himself.

"The leader of the 'Alliance' … Roland Vorn made 'named' appear by their choice, and challenged and defeated the battle. This isn't a tragedy, it's what's happening anywhere in the labyrinth country. Lord Atobe, please understand that."

Mr. Serafina's men, who came into the labyrinth, will be transferred with Mr. Roland, Mr. Daniela - perhaps, sent to the medical clinic.

When the remaining members of the alliance finally make their move, they begin to discuss something. That seemed like the future after Mr. Roland disappeared.

"You guys, about a word..."

"... sorry, we're not all in a position to talk right now. I thank you for your help... and I'm sorry that you had a monopoly on the hunting ground."

Their hearts are breaking - if they are aware that their actions have led to this result, it was an inexorable story.

"Alicht... let's go outside for once"

"... sorry. My judgment..."

"... even though your child is about to be born, your father... that..."

I didn't want you to wake up. I couldn't say that much, and Mr. Fifty Storms breathed trembling and turned his back on me.

I was against what the 'alliance' was doing, and I still have no sympathy for what they did.

Above all, I should have prioritized the safety of my people. If Misaki and Suzuna hadn't come for me, I wouldn't have earned time to escape - but they wouldn't have been safe if they had been attacked by that crab.

It was an incorrect decision as a leader. It's not even about apologizing - when I thought so, I got my cheeks pinched by someone.

"Huh... Hey, Mr. Fifty Storms...?

"... I know what it feels like to be in the back, but most importantly, I'm saying I care about myself. I wanted to try the Ibadestep."

"Yes, no... it's dangerous to avoid such a powerful demonic attack in a row. With a safer demon if possible..."

"There's no such thing as a safe demon, is there? If your brother stays behind, Zubaban! Sometimes I can."

"I don't think Mr. Alicht's decision is something he can normally do...... but I don't think he's wrong. If you've moved to a labyrinth country in the same way, I want you to live more than one person."

Suzuna's right, you can't normally - no, I don't think you should. The most important thing is to move forward safely with your people.

"... I thought you were doing something stupid, too. But I couldn't abandon him... so he's just like Alicht. If you're going to apologize, I have to apologize, too."

"Baugh."

…………

Scion barks small and shakes his tail patterned. Theresia was touching my arm and stroking me so I could fool myself.

"So... the rear part, you think it's not over yet, right?

Mr. Fifty Storms says - if you look at my face, you'll see, like that.

"... Mr. Roland's soul has been captured. If that state of affairs continues, I think Mr. Roland will really be dead. But..."

"We don't have the in-laws to help...... it's easy to say that. I could reward you with one last arrow, so if you're ready, you're sure to win. That's not reckless."

Elitia's eyes are burning with fighting spirit. Yes - I can fulfill the promotion condition of crusading three 'named' if I can defeat the 'merciless headstand'.

Once you have fought, you can strike measures. If we cannot meet our full potential, we should not try again - that is, above all, the prerequisite.

"We all regret getting hit, too. I haven't been able to use all the methods of attack yet..."

"I feel really good about being active too... it's like I'm scared, I want to show you a good place here..."

"Misaki, did you come up with something?

In front of all those mighty enemies, my people are thinking about how to win. It's a terrible idea for me to protect it - it's now noticed and inspired self-reflection.

"What do you think of Alicht? If you could assemble the operation, I think that would be the most certain thing."

"... right. I'm thinking..."

Elite Tier asks me for my opinion, and I think of some maneuvers, from everyone's gear I know, and skill - to go through our thoughts and move on.
