World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

― ― Through Ariadne, the trends of Kusselka and Hoslow are communicated. Ariadne shared the terrain data she shared with Adaline, as well as real-time updates on the situation.

We will support your thinking so that you can process information in parallel.

(Oh... please, if you don't fully attract the attention of the Shadow Warriors, you may be withdrawn and go to war.)

The "Ape Marquis" did not leave and could not rendezvous with his subordinates. Identify the timing. "

Suzuna from Cuzerca's team, and Melissa from Hoslow's team - both of them have their vision projected on the edge of my vision. While wondering if he could do this, the Secret God kept an eye on the movements of the two teams.

◆◇◆

"--I 'll cut in first!" Please follow me! ”

"Ha, yes...!"

Kozelka ran faster than Igarashi, Misaki, and Suzuna ran on Zion's back. And Nayuta-san is also following Kozelka-san so that she doesn't let her go.

Just past the bridge over the river is the fort's gate. There's someone lurking in the nearby pond - and Cuzerca seems to be aware of it, but she doesn't mind running into the gate.

"--Mr. Kozelka, the fort's gate...!"

Everyone entered the gate, and the gate made of logs was closed, and Suzuna shouted.

And in the square inside the gate, there are many columns as if the ground were raised in the shape of a square column - when I saw it from above, there was no such thing.

(If you were a [terrain master] who had been obeyed by the monkey lord before... would you be able to build obstacles?)

"You mean it's a trap... I'm still trying to draw in the Explorer." Your greed is too much. "

Kozelka pulled out her sword. And Nayuta-san throws something upward with little preliminary motion-a rope with a weight on the tip. It quickly wrapped around the person who was on the urn.

◆Current Situation◆

Nayuta activates Rope Bind and restrains Ape Monkey's Vassal Hunter

Nayuta's moves were the same as those of Adaline - a skill common to both Scouts and Huntsmen.

"Amazing... how can you use the rope like that..."

"--Be careful, there are enemies in the shadow of the obstacle!"

Monsters ◆encountered◆

[Heartburn Ape Marquis] Unknown Level Flame Resistance Drop:???

"Ape Marquis's Vassal Hunter" Level 11 Restraint Drop:???

"Ape Marquis's Vassal Assassin" Level 11 Hostile Drop:???

"Evil Ape A" Level 10 Hostile Drop:???

"Evil Ape B" Level 10 Hostile Drop:???

This Monkey Monkey is not the main body - yes, we are reading it, but at present, it is not possible to confirm its appearance because it is blocked by obstacles. And the [terrain master] wasn't among the opponents the Cuzerca team encountered - they were moving to a different location. Within the range sensed by the [Demonic Arrow], I could see a shadow of someone different from these groups.

"Kiki...!"

"...... Sir Kyouka, you're out!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Couzerka" activates "Flash Fend" and hits"Evil Ape A" with a knockback

"Giggle...!"

Cuzerca slashes at [Ivy Ape], but another jumps out of the shadow of the pillar and jumps at Igarashi-san.

◆Current Situation◆

Attack of "Evil Ape B"

"Kyouka" activates the "Brink Step" to dodgeattacks

"Kyouka-san, Mama...!"

"Ugh...!"

Ahhhh!

Immediately after Igarashi-san evaded, [Ivil Ape] attacked like a chase - trying to pierce the weakness of [Brinkstep] where it could not be evaded in a row. But Zion didn't let it happen.

◆Current Situation◆

"Theon" activates "Shoulder Impact"

- Evil Ape B activates "Back Rolling" and evadesattacks

The Evil Ape flew behind Theon's tackle while flying backwards at high speed.

― ― And [Evil Ape] hangs his claws on the side of the corner pillar and laughs at Suzuna riding on Zion.

(-Misaki, throw a card!)

"Ah... ahhh!"

At this position, Misaki is "forward from my position" - if you can recognize the situation of Misaki, that skill should be effective.

◆Current Situation◆

"Ali Human" activates "After Assist"Target: "Misaki"

"Evil Ape B" triggers "Triangle Jump"

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

[Misaki] activates [Joker of Thunder] and cancels[Triangle Jump] on [Evil Ape B]

"Misaki-chan, that was..."

"Oniichan's voice... looks like he's watching from behind as usual!"

"--Haaaaa!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Couzerka" activates "Wolf Triple Strike" and hits"Evil Ape B" with a knockback

"Ape Marquis's Vassal Assassin" cancels "Hiding"

[Ape Marquis's Vassal Assassin] activates [Backs Tab] and has twice the attack against[Cuzerca]

(--Mr. Cuzerca, behind you!)

"Nh...!"

◆Current Situation◆

[Couzerka] activates [Wolf's Instinct] forimmediate action

[Couzerka] activates [Shadow] and avoids[Backs Tab]

"Ape Marquis's Vassal Assassin" activates "Pursuit of Obsession"

[Couzerka] activates [Parry] and[Chase of Obsession] is disabled [Ape Monkey's Vassal Assassin] is defenseless

After attacking once, the enemy immediately pulls in their pursuit - Cuzelka reads through it and responds accurately, creating a complete gap in Assassin, who attacked Cuzelka from behind.

"-There!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Kuserka" activates "Weapon Hunt" and "Ape Monkey's Vassal Assassin" loses its weapon

Nayuta activates Rope Bind and restrains Ape Monkey's Vassal · Assassin

"Now the two of you...... Master Cuzerca, we've finished the restraint......!"

"--Guys, please be vigilant!" I haven't seen the shadow warrior yet...! "

"--GOOOOOOO!!"

A shaking roar echoed through a square with countless pillars - and I was screaming according to my instincts.

(― ― Igarashi-san, take the "Tsubaki Doll" and "Decoy"! Leave when installed!)

"Ah... everyone, stay away from where you are!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Kyouka" activates "Puppet" "Decoy"

"Hakutaru Ape Marquis" activates "Hisho Rock Crushing" and destroys"Puppet" in the terrain range

Rock collapse due to terrain collapse occurs

A giant monkey jumped from a pillar and slammed his fist into the ground. The impact cracked into the surrounding rock pillar and collapsed at once.

Kyouka-sama!

"Kiaaaa... Tin-chan...!"

"--Woah!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Theon" activates "fire rescue" to increase thespeed and reduce the speed reduction due to obstacles

"Theon" activates "emergency unloading"Targets: "Kyouka", "Misaki", "Suzuna"

Theon rushes through, rescuing Igarashi, Misaki, and Suzuna. Nayuta flies something with a stake on the rope onto a rock pillar, and Kozelka escapes the collapse with only her physical abilities.

"Grrrr..."

Giggle!

The presence labeled "Monkey Marquis" gives orders to Evil Ape - the monkey takes the [Assassin] in custody while he sees it.

"I can't let you go...!"

Gishaaaa!

[Assassin] is carried by [Evil Ape B], who is deeply wounded, and another one jumps at Kuselka-san. Mr. Cuzerca strikes off with his sword and flies back to keep his distance.

─ ─ At that moment, a giant monkey with red hair changed its appearance.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

◆Current Situation◆

The "Shadow Warrior" of the "Burning Ape Marquis"has changed to the "Rockbreaker Raptor"

"Rock Rampage" activates "Blood Battle Roar"

[Evil Ape A] 's attack power and speed are greatly increased, and his defense is reduced

A giant monkey reveals itself as if it were an enemy to defeat. The monkey with gray hair and wounded eyes growls again - the eyes of [Evil Ape] are dyed red, and the hair of the whole body is turned upside down and ferocious.

"...... I'll let you pass here. If you stand up, I won't forgive you.”

[Raging Monkey] laughs at Cuzerca's words - as if he was enjoying the battle.

◆◇◆

The team led by Hoslow also crossed the bridge into the western fort at the same time as Kuzerka's team stepped into the eastern fort.

A wall made of logs is laid to surround the square, and a flame is lit on the candlestick. A giant monkey with red hair sits in the back of the square and pokes its cheek stick, as if it were in the arena.

"Even if we're building a large fortress, the number is reasonable... Where are the rest of the captured Explorers?" The ten of them have already been delivered...! "

Monsters ◆encountered◆

[Heartburn Ape Marquis] Unknown Level Flame Resistance Drop:???

"Ape Marquis's Vassal/Dancer" Level 11 Restraint Drop:???

"Ape Marquis's Family" Level 11 Hostile Drop:???

"Warrior Ape" Level 11 Hostile Drop:???

Sorcerer Ape Level 11 Hostile Drop:???

Along with the words that Hothrow-san throws up, he strips out the will to fight. The [Warrior Ape] came under pressure.

"--Noooooo!"

◆Current Situation◆

[Warrior Ape] activates [Grappling][Hoslow] resists with his armpit

A monkey with abnormally developed upper body muscles - its strength was sufficient to antagonize the Hothrow of Level 13.

"In close combat, it's an unavoidable skill set...!"

"Giggle...!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Sorcerer Ape" activates "Karsword"

"Ape Marquis's Vassal Dancer" activates "Demon Dance"

The "Sorcerer's Ape" wrapped in a broken cloth and holding a winding wooden staff chanted something - the black text created by magic power from the tip of the staff was released towards Hothrow. The [Dancer] starts to dance behind him as if he were stacking up there - but.

◆Current Situation◆

The effect of "Ancient Strongman Talisman" is activated and "Hothrow" resists charm

"It's ten years too early to seduce me...!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Hothrow" releases "grappling"

Hothrow activates Battle Cry, increasing the Attack and Defense of theparty

Yvlil activates Reflect Umbrella and reflects Car Sword

[Karsword] 's Attack, Defense, and Speed are reduced in [Ape Marquis's Vassal Dancer]

Hoslow jumps out of the "Warrior Ape" set, and Yvlil, who was in the middle guard, comes forward - her umbrella flips back to the "Karsword" and hits the "Sorcerer Ape".

"Reflect the magic of the enemy... don't do it, Yvril!"

"It doesn't matter what age or sex you have in the fight."

(Evelyn, you're coming from the right!)

"Nh...!!"

◆Current Situation◆

[Ape Marquis's Vassal Martial Artist] triggers [Inadvertent Pole] Attack success rate increased

"Ape Marquis's Vassal/Martial Archer" activates "Arrow Walk"

"Felicia" activates "Intercept"Target: "Ape Marquis's Vassal/Martial Artist"

"Felicia" activates "Soft Fist Slaying Palm" and"Arrow Walk" is disabled

Even though the [Ape Marquis's Vassal/Martial Artist] was there, the sign of [nothing] had disappeared - and I didn't think it was the distance between the blows - I stepped in from the outside and aimed at Yvril in an instant, but Ferris interrupted in a flash and took a blow with his palm.

"Nnh...!!"

――

◆Current Situation◆

"Felicia" activates the "Impact Pad" and hits the "Ape Marquis's Family-Men" with a knockback concussion

(Strong... Nullifies blows with meatballs, while our blows penetrate enemy defenses relentlessly. This is Level 12 [Catfighter]...!)

"- Viola!"

◆Current Situation◆

Viola activates the "Bind Snake" and hits the"Ape Marquis's Family/Martial Artist"

"Viola" activates "Paralyzed Venom" and"Ape Marquis's Vassal/Martial Artist" is paralyzed

[Ape Marquis's Vassal Dancer] activates [Slowing Dagger] and reduces the durability of[Viola] 's [Purple Great Snake's Venom Whip]

Viola's weapon was a whip in her skirt - she took it out, bound the [Martial Arts], and poured paralytic poison into it. The attack of the dancer who tried to cut off the whip could not cut off the whip with a single blow.

"Kiki...!"

◆Current Situation◆

"Warrior Ape" activates "Crew Elbow Bite"

"Hothrow" activates "Maxi Counter" andhits "Warrior Ape" with a knockback

The "Warrior Ape" was about to target Viola and release her from her restraint - but Hoslow, who was reading the moves, launched a powerful counter that looked like a bombardment and blew up the "Warrior Ape" the size of an adult.

"--Geeee!!"

"I'm sorry... I'm here too"

◆Current Situation◆

"Sorcerer Ape" activates "Gladiator Scream"

[Melissa's] attack[Ambush] triggered. Critical [Sorcerer Ape] action canceled on [Sorcerer Ape]

"Felicia" activates "Leg Cannon" andhits "Sorcerer Ape" with a knockback

Melissa stopped the action of the [Sorcerer's Ape] and Ferris immediately chased her - a combination that was unique to her mother and daughter.

Mr. Hothrow's side is obviously pressing it, and my support is not necessary at present.

Explorers manipulated by the [Ape Marquis] have been disabled, and the remaining [Dancers] are receiving [Karswords] and slowing down their movements.

But even so, Mr. Hoslow's expression remained harsh.

"These guys... why can't they fall down?" Why are you getting up so soon...? "

The [Ape Marquis] sitting there--that was also the second [Shadow Warrior] as we had expected. The red hair turns black and the figure becomes smaller one round.

◆Current Situation◆

The "Shadow Warrior" of the "Burned Ape Marquis" has changed to the"Prisoner's Demon Ape"

"Prisoner's Ape" activates "Prisoner's Death"

"Warrior Ape" and "Sorcerer Ape" become "Magic Warfare Puppet"

The Hothlow team also encounters the same situation as the Coozelka team - "Rock-breaking Raptor" and "Prison Girl Demon Ape" try to strengthen their subordinate monsters and let them fight to the end.

And the main unit starts to move again. By solving [Shadow Warrior], you won't be able to imitate [Monkey Lord] 's skill, but you will be able to demonstrate your original abilities.

"It looks like this is the real thing... Atobe-kun, we can't let these guys go back to the [Ape Marquis]." Please slap him before we meet...! "

(Yes...... please...... be safe!)

"--Answer!"

Mr. Hothrow fists. As he swept away the [Warrior Ape] that was attacking again, he rushed toward the [Prisoner's Demon Ape].
