World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

The entrance to the "trembling foothills" is said to be at a small elevation in the northern part of Ward 5.On the way out of the dormitory, I ran into another labyrinthine party.

"Ugh... Natalya-san, these people..."

I knew we'd see each other again.

Among the parties were Leonard and Natalya, who met on the second floor of the [Lake Walk in the Dark].

Leonard was using martial arts, mainly football, but this time it was not sandy, so he was wearing gear like leggings.Natalia is wearing something like a furry hat, like a hunter in a snowy country.

Indeed, the name of the party is "Eisenreit".Today, there are two other female members, one wearing a bandana and a wild pirate-like appearance, one wearing glasses and a cap, and one wearing something like a survival vest.

"Ah... y-yeah, that's the bamboo you dropped...?"

"I found it at the end of the [Lake Walk in the Dark] and collected it."I'm sorry, I forgot to give it back. "

Igarashi-san's trident "Nelzeks Harpoon" was apparently a Bandana woman's gear.A woman with a delicate impression, but when she received a bowl from Igarashi-san, she fell in love with her friend.

"It's really embarrassing, but even though it's like a ghost, I got hit by a surprise and got separated from the mercenary."I couldn't reach the [Water Snake] I was aiming for, and the arrows were flying from an invisible area... I did bad things to Natalya and the others, but I couldn't defend it even though I was in the vanguard (tank). "

"We had to take measures to get out of the ghost zone safely."Besides, since mercenaries don't do more than money, I can't let them go on a difficult expedition... the boys are good, they have so many members. "

"Natalya-san, that boy..."

”Fufu... from my point of view, you're not so much a boy as an oniisan, are you?”

I've never been told that I look younger than my age.It may be Natalya's national style, so I decided not to worry about it.

"Ah, um... thank you for helping my people this time."My name is Yuho-Nanamori, and I'm in charge of the treatment at this party. "

"My name is Ali Hito-Atobe."

"Ah, you came from Japan after all."When I teach kanji, I write that there are steps in the Seven Forests. "

The woman in the survival vest said as she adjusted the position of her glasses.According to the way I explained it, it must be a name that is familiar with chess.

"...... excuse me, even if I didn't ask you......"

"Oh, no, I'm in the back."

"Ahh, you have the same kanji as me, right?"It's a surprising common denominator. "

"Yuuho, Atobe-kun helped us, and it's nice to talk to you, but I have to thank you for this."

I didn't want you to thank me, but I was just wondering if I could get some information - I'll leave the conversation to my people.

"It's called Vanessa."You're the oldest at this party, but you're three years younger than Atobe.As you can see, you're a fisherman. "

Vanessa held out her right hand and shook it.Remembering the four of the Four Seasons, Vanessa somehow fell in love with Ryoko.

“How many labyrinths have you explored in this 5th arrondissement?”

"About eight of them are spinning."I was finally able to take it one step further.I tried to target the [Water Snake] where this harpoon seems to be working, but it wasn't easy. ”

"I think it was tough, but I'm glad you're okay.We're going to the "trembling foothills" from now on..... "

"If you're looking for mineral-based materials, watch out for monsters lurking around."There are enemies who look like rocks and don't know until they move. ”

"Thank you, Leonard. I'll remember your liver."

To thank you, Leonard had a surprised look on his face, but he immediately smiled and put out his right hand.I shook hands just like Vanessa.

"Boy, is there anything else you want to know?"

Atobe-sama, do you mind?

Yes, please, Serafina-san.

“Do you know where to find Holy Stone?”

"It looks like you need luck to find rare metals."We're looking for Holy Stone, too, but unfortunately, we couldn't find it. "

"If you could use Holy Stone to process weapons, it would have worked against ghosts."But you didn't get it that conveniently. "

Leonard looks at the armrests on his legs and says:Certainly, it would be more advantageous to have sacred weapons in the fight against the "Ice Remnant".

"More than that, Ali Hito-san is talking about Lena..."

"The Holy Stone can be found even more."It seems to glow in the dark, so try to be careful.Now, let's do this.... "

Yuuho tried to say something, but Leonard walked away when he gave me information to stop it.

"That's right, if you're going to mine, there's something you should take with you."It's "Matok the Dwarf."

"Matok... you mean Tsuruhashi."

"Yes, I will use it to extract minerals."It's a magic tool, so it can be dug very lightly, contrary to its small appearance.I have a spare, take one. ”

After searching for the many pockets of the survival vest, Yuuho found and handed over Matok.Then, waving a small hand, he ran after his companion who was waiting a little further.

"After all, encounters can be helpful... I can't help but think about it."

“Yeah, all you have to do is find Holy Stone.”

Place "Dwarf Matok" in Zak.Maybe we should equip ourselves with equipment for the mountains because it's like the "foothills", but since Leonard didn't say anything, we probably don't need it.

I wonder if it's Misaki's turn to be lucky.

"I'm lucky to be alive."By the way, oniichan, I'm also a "bat-leather cloak", so you're a match.A paired look? "

"That's a little different... but Misaki seems happy"

It's also good to find happiness in trivial matters.

When it comes to the pair look, although the performance of the equipment is the most important, it is a little uneasy, but I put it aside.

"That skill of Misaki seems to be useful." Pick Lottery

"That's right, that's right, that's right.If you use it, Holy Stone is a single shot. "

"...... Tsumo?"

It looked like Masaki had some mahjong experience.Melissa didn't seem to know that Misaki taught her, but her touch (Tsumo) meant that she would draw a mahjong tile herself - she felt a little nostalgic.

◆◇◆

Further north, there was a gentle spiral slope, and as we climbed through it, there was something like a large circle of rocks.

The inside of the circle is not an "outside" view, but a different landscape that looks like that of the inside of the labyrinth.First, Serafina went in, followed by the queue.

The ambient air changes with the sense of transition.It feels higher than the city - but the air isn't thin, and the temperatures are cool.

Under the pale blue sky, we're on a rocky hill.A long beast path is formed towards the peak.Rock masses large enough to look up rolled around and formed obstacles, but after the Explorers had avoided them, it seemed to be a natural path.

"You remember the climbing I did in junior high school?"If everyone was wearing jerseys and backpacks, they'd be reproducible. "

"It's such a big mountain... it seems impossible to go down."

"Let's proceed with care."Theon, be careful. "

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Even though I said that, the terrain like the mountain trail seems to be good for Zion, and it goes on lightly.It was Serafina who was amazing, and even if she carried a large shield, it didn't seem to interfere at all.

I can't see the monster, but there's a bird over there.

I've only seen it in the atlas and on TV, but there are birds like thunderbirds.It wasn't as big as a monster, and it wasn't recognized by the license.

If you break the rock around it, will there be metal in it?

"I don't know. If you want metallic materials, you might want to use Matok... but perhaps Holy Stone won't come out of here."

If you could find this rock, it would have broken down already.

Since climbing requires physical strength, I concentrated on keeping the chatter low.

◆◇◆

After about an hour's walk, we arrived at a point where we were divided into a further climbing path and another path leading to the ridge.

There are traces of camping in the nearby shade of the rock.However, whether it was attacked by monsters during the camp, there was a hole in the abandoned simple tent, and there were bloodstains on the rock.

"If you spend too much time, you'll have to camp... and that's a very dangerous place."

"There's a hole in the rock... there's a monster that can do this too."

Elitia and Igarashi-san are investigating the ruins of the camp.When I looked around at the [Eagle's Eye] - something moving stopped in my eyes.

It was a rabbit-like creature that emerged from beyond the boulders rolling on the ridge.It is pale pink and adorable to look at.

However, what was in my mind was the first monster I encountered in the Labyrinthland - that white cotton woollen clump of wasadama - that memory that suddenly accelerated and attacked me suddenly.

"Guys, look over there.It looks like a monster, but what should I do? "

"It looks like a wastadama..."It's a monster in Ward 5, so you can't be alarmed. "

"...... Guru......"

Theon seems alert, but he doesn't seem to be a powerful enemy by appearance.

◆ Monsters encountered ◆

·? Peach Beast Unknown Level Unknown Resistance Drop:???

"I can't get any information on this display..."

You can't go up the hill and get caught up, so I think we should fight in the open.

"That's right... Okay." First, let's see how it goes with my shot. "

Immunity is unknown, so bet on punching a weak spot with a frozen bullet or aiming for a condition abnormality - there is no certainty, but if it is decided, aim for a large condition abnormality.

Ali, I'll try to target you, too.

"Ahh, just a little off timing, please just a moment after me...!"

"Yees...!"

◆ Current Situation ◆

"Ali Human" activates "Vineshoot"

"Suzuna" activates "Fobidun Arrow"

Metal shells fired from the slings and arrows released by Suzuna hit the target.

(--That's how it's going to come...!)

"Shaggyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

A giant pair of arms grows from a small animal that looked like a mass of peachy hair.Then, I took a very robust defensive posture by covering my body with my arms.

◆ Current Situation ◆

"Pink Beast" activates "Boxing Arm"

"Pink Beast" activates "Peekaboo Style" and increases Defense. "Vineshoot" is disabled.

Playing my shot won't break my defensive posture - but I'll add a little support to Susuna's delayed arrows and look for a chance.

◆ Current Situation ◆

"Ali Human" activates "Support Attack 2" Support content: "Force Shoot Freeze"

"Fobidun Arrow" inflicts freezing on the "Pink Beast"

"Giggle... gishaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

"Oh, it's not like a small animal at all, that voice...!!"

It was frozen for a moment, but it was lifted immediately - it was no different than Stan.However, the [Fobidun Arrow] blow seemed to have passed, and the enemy seemed to be frightened for a moment.

"--Here...!"

Ellytia is already on the move.I activated Comet Raid and approached it in an arc rather than the shortest distance - knowing that that arm's melee attack would be a threat.

Igarashi-san, Theresia and Ellytia were trying to set up a trick from the other side.Melissa was riding on Zion, aiming for Ellytia's backfill.

I warn you, the next attack will cause catastrophic damage to the contractor

I heard Ariadne's voice. That was enough to convey the signs of evil.

Enemy skill is coming. They were after Suzuna, Misaki, and me.

It has been a long time since I felt 'death'. I can't die in this place, but suddenly, all of a sudden, why now?

"Shhhhhh!!"

◆ Current Situation ◆

The name of the "Peach Beast" was found to be " Wandering Ghost of the Storm"

"Peach Beast" activates "Cannon Form" Arm morphology change

"Peach Beast" activates "Rabbit Tornado"

The pink beast's arms fused and transformed into a cannon-like shape.In an instant, Ellytia's attacks were interrupted gently, and a pink storm was launched across a ridiculously wide area.

I couldn't move a tuna or a sloth - neither could I.

And Serafina didn't run away.Stand in front of us and hold your shields.If you accept that, you will die, and you will have to understand.

Supportive defense, that's not enough. One or two.

If there is a way to leave the possibility, there is.That's why she's in front of us.

(--Foggia, please... protect Serafina!)

Serafina's figure shone.It was as if they were shining together in a storm of destruction.

My name is Foggia. Those who armor the secret gods and protect the contractors

”- Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Serafina's voice echoes and activates all her defensive abilities.I couldn't hear all the other sounds, and me, Suzuna, and Misaki were just looking at her back standing in front of them.
