184. Second Trial (6)

Packs, a type of large monsters, are not really big enough to be called large, considering their size.

Of course, looking at their size, they are wolves the size of a decent house, but considering that most of the large monsters I encountered before were capable of conducting a siege with two or three objects, I think this is an excessive classification.

Nevertheless, the reason why these guys are classified as such is that these guys, who always work in groups, have excellent fighting power for a medium-sized monster.

Befitting their wolf-like appearance, packs are natural hunters.

A claw that can easily tear through hard steel. Mobility that can chase a pursuer to the end of hell, and a powerful sense of smell that allows you to easily search for a target even if it is hidden.

It won’t be easy to counter these things if the ability is erased inside the armed forces.

“Kill me gently—!!”

And, in that situation.

I was charging towards it with all my bare skin exposed.

To a witch who feeds on human blood and flesh, my current appearance must be that of well-slaughtered and butchered meat walking on its own feet and running to its mouth.

“…?”

Their eyes went blank for a moment in a situation that deviated from common sense, but even so, witches are basically faithful to their instincts.

[ A crisis situation is detected. ]

[ It is judged as a level that poses a direct threat to life. ]

[Skill: Applies Desperation to EX grade. ]

Soon after, with a hostile look, one of the salivating guys immediately lunged at me.

Scattering ferocious eye light around, he swung his forepaw at me with a force that seemed to be able to crush rocks.

-!

-!!

yes.

He sighed in relief as he flew through the air after getting hit by the first one’s forepaw.

Once these guys fully focus on me, half of the plan is a success.

If you ignore me and run to the other guys, that’s the worst. It’s probably because he either retreated or died because he couldn’t even do that.

It may have seemed a little strange, but it was fortunate that I threw off all my clothes and ran.

An ordinary person would have split his upper and lower body as soon as he was hit, but in the state of desperation, the durability goes up significantly.

< System Message >

[ A fatal injury is detected. ]

[The sense of pain is blocked by ‘Attribute: Iron Man’. ]

In addition to that, even these characteristics.

Currently, I am in a state where my durability has been considerably strengthened by the desperate situation.

Compared to the other guys, they don’t receive any supernatural powers as much as desperate and characteristic.

Even if it’s magic, holy power, and I can’t use anything, my physical ability alone is a valuable asset.

“…suck!”

The thing to do is to hold out for as long as possible.

I let go of the wolf’s attack trying to swing its front paws again, and ‘gentlely’ hit the wolf’s attack as much as possible.

If you hold out for that long, the other monsters will probably join in one by one to help the comrades who seem to be having a hard time alone.

That’s what I’m aiming for.

To cling to me as much as possible.

[…So, why are you doing this?]

‘I don’t have time to explain. later!’

[In the first place, do you have any means to survive?!]

“…”

If you think about it, this person also has a different side from the outside and the inside.

Even if they look bruised on the outside, if you look inside, they’re all worried about me.

‘That’s it, of course.’

i believe in this world

To be precise, I believe that this world was built on the foundation of a game system called Savior Rising.

At least in the odd part, that ‘rule’ always worked.

so.

What I’m going to do from now on will definitely work.

While thinking so, I watched as Puck attacked right in front of me.

“…”

The longer you hold on, the more and more places you feel the sensation disappear throughout your body.

< System Message >

[ Less than 1% HP! ]

[On the verge of death! ]

Even if such a message comes to mind.

It’s scary, but I endure it.

keep going, keep going

Until the nearby witches all gather at my location.

and.

At the same time as I was convinced that it had happened.

“Now!”

spit out words like that

It’s the ‘signal’ I decided to give to the other guys before I came here.

And, while spitting out those words, I also activate the skills built into Soul Linker.

It will be a skill I haven’t seen in a long time.

However, it is very suitable for use in this situation.

The world of Caliban’s image instantly spreads around, and the desperate situation applied to me is shared with them.

< System Message >

[ HP 0%! ]

[Goes into suspended animation! ]

In the meantime, thanks to the accumulation of injuries, such a message appears before my eyes.

though my eyesight slowly fades.

Previously.

-!

-!!

-!!!

The entire field of vision was stained with the sword wind that Elijah wielded.

The first thing I saw as soon as I came to my senses was Elijah pouring potions on me with teary eyes.

“…are you crazy?!”

“…”

don’t scream ring your head

I struggle to get up and examine my body.

Even in such a smashed state, I sprayed some recovery potions, so I can still move.

Long live the characteristics of an iron man. Resilience is certainly not in the human range.

Of course, apart from that, Elijah’s expression as he is now staring at me with his ax eye raised is very fierce.

“What were you thinking about doing this? You really almost died!”

From noble mtl dot com

“…Uh, no, just.”

Bewildered, he speaks out.

In fact, it is true that he died once. Because my HP dropped to 0% and I went to suspended animation.

“I thought so from the beginning.”

“…What did you say?”

“I told you. He said he expected to die once in the first place.”

“…”

At best, I made a golden time where all the demons were gathered in one place, but it makes sense to miss it just because I was swept away.

That was the reason why I rushed at these guys with my bare body and drew their attention.

To create an ‘opportunity’ for Elijah and Faynol by grouping these guys together to attack me.

Putting these guys in one place ‘easy to catch’.

Anyone who has played the game will know. In technical terms, it’s called a mob moll.

They are very mobile, so if you want to catch them in an instant, it is difficult to catch them unless you mobilize such a method and gather them in one place.

Moreover, no matter how good my specs are, HP was determined from the start to establish a simple ignorant plan to hold it in one place while being hit urgently.

[…No, I don’t think they were made to catch them in the first place?]

“…”

[It’s just that fighting itself means dying, so don’t you try to hide and avoid it as hard as you can? I don’t understand why this situation was created, but if you look at the reason, the purpose is exactly that way, isn’t it?]

that’s the case

As I said before, it is essential that Elijah stand out in order to send him to the final ordeal.

Simply surviving in time is a bit… that’s it.

The number of cases is not certain.

because it’s not cool

[…Crazy bastard…]

“…”

[If you search the continent, you’ll be the only one who casually risked his life to make a single person stand out. Could it be a suicide attempt, really?]

“…”

[That doesn’t really make Elijah stand out. You seem like the most insane guy.]

no.

does that happen again

Are you embarrassed by Caliban’s words?

From the front, Elijah, Talion, and even Faynol all looked at me with disgusted expressions.

“…”

why are you

Isn’t everything okay because it’s good?

“No, because I tried it last time.”

In order to create a bizarrely subdued atmosphere, he speaks out with a smile on his face.

“It’s okay to die in cardiac arrest for about 10 seconds.”

It’s something I’ve experienced several times in the game, and it’s the knowledge I gained that actually applies when YuRia fell in half.

Even though HP has converged to 0%, it can be revived by somehow attaching a breather before dying completely.

It is a law that has been clearly proven by my survival this time as well.

“…therefore.”

Elijah said with a groan.

“Even if you become a corpse, as long as you don’t die, it’s OK? What if even one in a thousand or ten thousand goes wrong?”

“Why do you think you will fail? It has something to do with you.”

“…”

Smiles and gives a thumbs up.

“Even if I die, I have to succeed.”

“…”

Seeing me saying that as if it were natural, Elijah shook his head.

It must have been a gesture of deep pain, not knowing where to begin.

“…hey, sir.”

“huh?”

“Well, we had a conversation before about using Lana as a human expendable.”

“…It did?”

Elijah, who approached me with a puzzled expression, grabbed my chin with both hands.

“I apologize for everything I said then.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Sir, it wasn’t that his humanity was worn out, he was just a genuine psychopath who could use anyone who seemed like that.”

“…”

“If you are a human being who puts yourself in such a situation just because that’s the case, it’s worth thinking about the idea that others do that too. At least I can say it’s fair.”

“…”

At Elijah’s muttering cry, I involuntarily backtrack.

Dude, your eyes are dead.

It’s even creepy to see him shooting such words like a rapid-fire gun without even focusing.

“…That, what is it, calm down for a moment.”

“I can not.”

“…”

“Sir, please sit down.”

“…why?”

“Because I’ll fix it straight from the head.”

“…”

“Sir, you need to be aware of how precious you are to others. In the meantime, I need to fix my tendency to keep making noises that set people on fire. I feel good, but listening to it at this timing is a bit of an upset, isn’t it?”

“…”

is it a compliment?

“Listen carefully. I’ll fix your quirks first.”

“…”

I guess not.

It’s the first time I’ve seen him yell at me this harshly.

I don’t know what.

I think I’m getting scolded now. Am I right?

[that’s right.]

“…”

[And you get scolded a little bit. It’s not just getting scolded, it’s until the moment I die with all my tears.]

There was no doubt that the siblings resembled each other in this respect.

By the time Elijah stopped pouring out his thirst like a storm, I was almost on the verge of wiping out tears.
