Blade Online

Countless monsters suddenly appear in the city where they are supposed to be safe, destroying buildings that are supposed to be indestructible, and attacking players.

Unheard of - all players had been slapped down at the bottom of the mess by unprecedented things that had not yet happened before. That is, of course, not even the 'offensive group' that always kept fighting in the front-line area.

Some of them were unable to cope with monsters and died.

But the strength that has continued to fight so far was still real. As soon as they understood the problem was going on, they immediately started to act.

We broke up into several groups and headed to rescue non-combatant players in each city. He evacuated them inside the Dragon Emperor's Palace, a large guild home where a large number of players could enter. Naturally, the monsters will also launch raids on the Dragon Emperor's Palace, but protecting their surroundings were seven of the biggest executives of the offensive group, the Indestructible Dragon.

Dragon Tooth. Hungry Wolf Guruara

Dragon Claw. Reaper Meditation Limit

Dragon Wings. Before the end of Twins, I had a great name.

Dragon Eye. Vengeance Dimensions

Dragon Wrist. Sounds like an "award."

Dragonfoot. Whirlwind cold

Dragontail. Queen Annelate

A level of strength who can all be given two names as executives of Immortal Dragon.

They partied and annihilated monsters approaching the Dragon Emperor's Palace from one end.

The level of monsters that emerged varied, with some of them being area boss class monsters. But we haven't even been able to touch the Dragon Emperor's Palace yet. How many of these people were strong by then.

And because I'm strong, I was spotting that in this mess.

"These guys, their behavior patterns are totally different than they ever were."

"Dragon Tooth" Guruara slaughters the approaching Minotaur giant with the great sword "God-eating", while so mouthing with a rugged look. The monsters stared at him with a sharp eye like a beast, and the executives around him snorted as he fought at his words wielding a sword made of Fenrill's fangs.

The monsters that come out of the game have certain behavioral routines programmed. Blade Online, a VRMMO, is no exception. Although there are extraordinarily many moves compared to previous games, there were still certain laws there.

The monsters that are raiding this city don't have it.

Act disastrously, as if you are not used to the way your body moves. Instead of pushing the player like a regular monster, he's moving like he's lost something.

That makes it easier to knock down monsters than normal...

"The werewolves over there suck a little."

The word pitch black suits me well, a woman in a black dress groaned so.

Queen Annelate.

She glances at the bipedal wolf behind the monster approaching like a bug swarming into a light as she wields her rare weapon, the whip 'The Extinct Empress'. I don't know all the monsters approaching me, but I can still understand that the werewolf is different.

"Oh. That werewolf is definitely not normal. Definitely."

A long man with a white mask - - "Revenge" Dimension takes Crimson Night's giant sword lightly with a one-handed sword, "Tsurgi the Grievance Dragon". And the next moment, Crimson Night, which attacked the Dimension Iron, blew momentum backwards. The monsters who were in the rear get caught up in the crimson night that blew up.

Dimension iron returns words to Annelate, looking at the condition from under the mask.

That werewolf is observing their battle from afar...

"- I was wondering, but I was sure. Definitely, they have 'intelligence'!

"It's always frigid and I don't trust you to say you're absolutely sure, but this time it just doesn't seem right."

"Wow, yes, I agree with you on the dimensional latte, too. That werewolf looks a little troublesome, so should I crush him?

A little red-haired girl moves around fast inside a herd of monsters with a small axe in her hand. The monsters can't cope with her passing like the wind. And the moment her movements stopped, the bodies of the monsters who were in the passage were severed one after the other.

"Whirlwind" cold.

A fine movement in its small shape and an axe that is unimaginably destructive from its size, 'Destroy'. Combining attack and speed, she boasts high strength within the Immortal Dragon.

"I'm sure he's a pain in the ass, but it's definitely dangerous to move in this situation"

"If that's what Dimension Iron says, I'm..."

One light swallowed "Whirlwind" cold from above before she finished saying the word. Faster than she leaks her voice, that HP goes to 0. When the light went out, cold was gone without a trace.

"Huh!"

"Hey!?

"Co-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!"

"Twin Wings" Yuname Tail Front Teeth screams and looks up. There were four pairs of wings spreading and floating by Saint Angel Ariel, who boasted so much combat power that he was said to be the boss class shooting an immediate-death attack. Behind the hilarious name somewhere that it is possible, its angel, boasting a powerful attack and a strong defense, smiles at its white glowing face.

In the next moment they confirmed it, those four pairs of wings were severed and Ariel fell and slapped to the ground.

Yuname Tail Front Fang jumped to Ariel's position and slashed his wings with a double sword, the "Knife/Destruction Ceremony".

Aerial Walking, a rare skill owned by Yuna Ogata, can jump up as long as Stamina has it. Using this skill to the extreme, he was able to jump at high speeds with less stamina consumption. Akatsuki also owns "Aerial Walking," but Yuname's Tail Front Teeth are more proficient than his.

Attack there with the "Reaper" Underworld with the scarce weapon Sickle "Tanatos". An angel's neck was pruned in one blow.

A man as thin and tall as wire, dressed in a black robe that feels ominous, analyzes Ariel's attack with no expression.

"Instant death attacks require hoarding time...... You mean you waited in the air until the accumulation was over and attacked cold..."

Until Ariel attacked them, they couldn't realize who they were. This means that he was accumulating an imminent death attack in a position that was not caught by the Detection.

i watch my buddies peel their emotions out of what cold has been done and leave the monsters at their mercy with calm.

"How dare you analyze my people so calmly when they say they're dead?"

A dark-haired man with a long, tight body who came with a bumpy shirt forcefully severed the approaching Mithril Golem with a great sword, the One-Blade Dragon Break. His sword has the ability to inflict a constant chance of missing an attacking opponent.

Sounds like "The Arbitration" but goes down to next to the meditation limit in "Steps" and stares at him.

Usually he puts a "dabe" on the end of the phrase for characterization, but now he doesn't have it.

The under-eye narrowed, he said, lifting the sickle.

"If you don't act cool like this - you're going to run ahead and kill them all."

The sickle of the underworld brings purple light, and he waves it down.

At the next moment, the monsters that were looming in front of me were severed in two and disappeared.

"Reaper" The Ultimate Limit is the strongest of the seven executives, if only in terms of offensive power.

――――――――――――

It took more than three hours for all area players to evacuate. I can say that it is rather fast enough to help a large number of players from an area that is nearly thirty. In the meantime, however, a significant number of players have been sacrificed by monsters. A large number of sacrifices were also made by players in the offensive group who headed for the rescue.

The monsters around the Dragon Emperor's Palace were completely annihilated by the "Indestructible Dragon" executives and later by the "Seismic Origin" (9) Dragon. I'm still on guard around me, but I don't see any monsters.

But when this wasn't all over, they understood, and naturally, this wasn't the end of it.

――――――――――――

The inside of the Dragon Emperor's Palace was filled with anger and crying, and the voices of the players who had evacuated it. All players fit inside the Dragon Emperor's Palace in case it was made wide enough, but it still takes a lot of time to move a little further.

I proceed through a passage densely populated by people.

At future meetings held in the conference room, it was only decided that it was impossible to consolidate the surroundings of the Dragon Emperor's Palace. When it comes to players in the offensive team, they're just people. There can be no confusion. Though Mr. Nine Dragons had been a good talker, the colour of fatigue was also floating on his face.

Several players with two names also died during this rescue. He was also hit by one executive of Hekatonkail, Giant Killer, and Indestructible Dragon, who was protecting the Dragon Emperor's Palace.

But we don't have time for people we know to die and grieve. Everyone was running around in various places with fatigue floating around. Usually even "Pirate King" has a serious look on his face. Though I'm still in the middle of some confusion, I might say I've settled down somewhat.

Though my head is messed up by confusion.

It's been a few hours since I helped my brothers who were attacked by Katana...... I haven't been able to sort out what happened in my head yet.

From the story of Egg One and the others, I understood that Katana and Axe had something to do with "The Corpse Eater" in some way. Still, I have a feeling why. Both Katana and Axe always seemed to have fun with their brother.

Even though I bumped into people, I was finally able to get to the room I wanted.

They used to be a place for executives to get together and chat. This room is now used by the players in the offensive group. Because you can't act well in the same room as the players you've evacuated.

When I opened the door and went inside, there were a number of faces I saw. The look on everyone's face is harsh. They came in. When they looked at me, they looked off at me uncomfortably. I know why.

"... brother"

There was a brother in the corner of that room that was brought to the wall like he was dead. My eyes are vain and I'm whining about something with a bump.

I hear Lynn was killed by Mr. Katana. That's right in front of your brother, too. Ever since I brought you to the Dragon Emperor's Palace, your brother has been sitting like a dead man. When I think of your brother's feelings, my chest tightens.

I didn't really like her when she called me brother. Still makes my chest ache when I think that she's dead.

Various people called out to my brother to fight as a strategy group, but now no one calls out to my brother anymore. In fact, my brother won't be able to fight properly anymore.

"Brother."

When I spoke, my brother looked up at the cochlear with a vain look on his face.

"Um, would you like something to eat...? I didn't dare to evacuate a paragraph... it seems that some of the Dragon Emperor's Palace is a cafeteria for executives or something, and now that's where it's used as a strategy group. Together if you like."

"I don't want to do anything anymore. I don't want to see anything anymore. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't protect him. I killed him because of me. If this is the case, I shouldn't have worked hard. Anyway, I knew no one could protect me. I knew it. I understood. I couldn't help it. I knew there was nothing I could do, even trash scum. I knew it! Uhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

Trying to block my words, my brother scratched his head galloping screaming.

I grab my brother's arm and make him stop, hug him.

"It's okay, it's okay...... I'm here. Your brother has me."

As he spoke gently in his ear, his brother regained some calm. And he cried like a child in my chest. Touch that head.

"If Lynn dies... and I die, I die... and I die to you, I die to you"

"It's okay. I will not die. I'll always be on your side."

I've never seen a brother so weak and cut.

All I can do is protect your brother.

"My brother is - your brother is protected by me. So don't worry."
