Log Horizon

"Ha...... eh. Ha..."

Breathe roughly and swallow the water removed from the bag.

This is quite dangerous, I laughed bitterly, as a direct line of sight ran to cover Xiaolong, who was tired enough to get into.

Direct line, Natai, Xiaolong and Rezaric are now taking a small pause at the roots of the pines a little further from the coastline. But it's hard to say it's a break.

The battle, which began in the morning, has now lasted for four hours and has become a strenuous series of battles in the summer sun, illuminating with giraffes.

This is the third small pause for the direct relay, but the previous two times have not been taken as 10 minutes. The target landing points for the Aquatic Green Ghosts (Safaggins) are numerous and the Adventurers are few. Inevitably, the adventurers will fight around the landing points in such a way that collaboration between the parties is essential to make the defensive network work effectively with a small number of people. If an adventurer is gathered in one place, safaggins will invade from the "hole" that will inevitably be empty.

In that case, behind them is the town of Choushi.

Of course, the mayor should have asked all the "earthlings" to evacuate to a building in the city that they think is hardly defensive, and the young men will be ready to fight with their weapons.

But still, the answer is that if they are just residents of a town without walls like this, and how far they can resist their safaggin opponents, they will only buy time to be ravaged.

At the wave strike in front of us, three groups of newcomers are fighting repeatedly. Indeed, from a direct line of sight, which is at 90 levels, there are many awkward things, and that was a battle worthy of calling valor.

But still, medium level sadness. Their defenses sometimes flare up and are about to be torn.

That's something I can't help. The power and range of the moves are too different from those of the direct successors. It is also significant that direct successors do not possess high-level magic items that they naturally possess.

"Elder Tail" has a system called "Item Lock". High-grade magic items can be "always" (locked) when acquired. Most high-end magic items require constant preparation in order to be equipped. And the items that have been prepared cannot be used except for the "Adventurer" who has been prepared.

Would it fit the image if I said that the item would be adjusted and dedicated to me? Standby items are less likely to be stolen because there is no point reselling them, and if they die, they will not be lost. It may also unlock hidden abilities.

Having reached the 90th level, Adventurers possess several high-end magic items, even if they are regular Alliance players. Veteran players with hard adventures like siloes usually possess even legendary items in dozens of high-end items.

These magic items are not simply high-performance weapons and protective equipment, but can also have their own special abilities, some of which even rewrite the performance of the holder's "stunts".

Speaking directly, his demon sword, Kaios Shreeker, falls for it. This weapon rewrites the range of stunt (Towing Shuut) from 10m to 15m, which has the effect of upside the monster. When this happens, it even changes the user-friendliness of the stunt itself called Towing Shuut.

It was only natural that an intermediate-level "Adventurer" battle that could not be supported by such a powerful high level magic item would look different from that of their high level "Adventurer".

Tai stops the straight-up relay from floating back.

"Rest is my job now."

Nyantai told him in a rare tone that did not make him say yes or no.

Beginning with direct succession, Pantai, Xiaolong, and the rest of Rezaric's crew are depleted of MP. MP recovery in combat is not as good as sparrow tears, unless you get some special effect. Even if we go back to battle now, it's Othi that the front will collapse in no time because of the lack of MP.

When I was fighting goblins in the mountains, I could lurk in the darkness and take regular rest. This battle is a heavy rotation for Safaggin to attack without even being able to distribute the pace ourselves.

Of course, the direct successors can still support the front for far longer than the newcomers (Adventurers). But in doing so, there is a limit. Neither can an MP of a 90-level fiend, a direct successor, withstand a battle longer than an hour.

Not to mention that this time we're having a party with four instead of six. This is a situation in which combinations are established by moving one and a half times more than usual.

"Direct line. Go ahead."

I'm sorry.

Drink the potion given to you by Rezalik. Blue water pills are medications that restore MP, but they work very little. In Elder Tail, there are plenty of ways to restore HP, but there are far fewer ways to restore MP, and there is usually only a small amount of recovery. This potion is never an inexpensive item either, but the effect stays limited.

The direct successor, in a hurry, stares at Toya, who fights in front of him.

Towya got stronger.

Still rough in moves and fights, can't say I'm "better," but I'm getting stronger. Instead, there would be no need for clever "ingenuity" or anything like that.

I am willing to be one of the qualities a warrior needs. It is the "intention" used in the term "exasperation" or the like. Positive feelings when doing something. It's a temper.

In the Battle of Towya, there is "willingness". That is irreplaceable qualities as a warrior supporting the front line. In order to protect our people, we need savage courage not to be afraid of our own bloodshed, like sometimes knocking on glass doors with bare hands, the direct successor thinks.

(Toya, don't stretch yet...)

If you turn your gaze, there you are fighting a girl named Fifty Bells and the Wizard (Sorcerer), who was called Lundelhouse. Fifty Bells is definitely the Bard.

Unlike Toya, she has "ingenuity". Her positioning, the attacks to be launched, they all showed an exquisite sense of distance and rhythm. Amateurs don't know how clever she is. Even so many fights will overlook him as a discreet 'adventurer'.

However, her definitive following raises all elements of the battle - attack, defense, movement and recovery - to a step-by-step dimension for all her allies.

And noteworthy would be the combination with the "sorcerer" youth. It was the timing and location of the cover as if the youth were guessing everything they wanted. They are moving to ensure that the less defensive "sorcerer" youth are not exposed directly to enemy attacks, but that they have a full view of the battlefield so that they can destroy the Safaggins.

And when it came to the young "sorcerer" being followed, it was just a hardening of temper. The Sorcerer is more aggressive than originally. Compared to the same level band, the strongest of the 12 positions is contested with Assassin.

But rather than relying on the performance of his profession, that young man's attack felt the urge to abandon him as if he could put the flux of thoughts and emotions into one magic at a time. As if his obsession had passed, the lava bullets jumped and danced, and the ice spears skewered the safaggins.

A girl named Serara who missed her so much.

She's starting to turn too. From the first time I saw it in the city of Susquino, I could see its chanting speed and lack of hesitation, but now even compared to then, freedom seems to have increased. Unlike before, when you could only think about recovery, remember to call the Spirit of Nature, run vertically and horizontally, or use an attack aid spell to support a party.

I think she's going to be a good healer.

And Minori.

Only Minori is probably fighting Safaggin with a completely different vision. The direct line just felt the "hunch" inside the minnows, even the goosebumps.

With Minori's decree, the party changes formation and rebuilds the combination organically.

"Mr. Rudy, keep the output down."

Copy that, Miss Minori.

"Mr. Serara. Recovery switch. Please go on the attack."

"Icicle Ripper on the left! I'll shoot you!

I know what she's doing.

Because I've been able to pair with Shiloe for a long time.

She's probably trying to figure out the MP consumption for all her buddies. Naturally, in order to be able to do that, you have to grasp not just yourself, but all the "stunts" your buddies have. Not just its consumption MP, but also its performance and the circumstances in which it is used.

In addition, we must also understand the order in which our allies collaborate with each other, their position with their enemies, and the order in which they encounter and destroy.

This means tailoring the "sentence" of enemy destruction to the "sentence" of battle. And while reconstructing the "text" of battle into the "story" of tactics, it is nothing more than to say "read" it.

Of course, combat is a continuum of happenings deployed in real time. "Reading" as we speak here is not to stiffen the battle as a stationary text, but to "read" as a highly improvised story while affirming all the possible future.

What Minori is trying to do, though still clumsy, is imitate Siroe's full control (full control) combat (encount). That little girl is chasing Siloe's back.

- In 1% increments, 30 seconds ahead, I guess.

Siloe once said that about "it".

Probably means fighting for a 30-second future.The 1% carving is a grasp of your buddy's MP residue.

Of course, environmental grasping around is fundamental, even if placed in high-level combat. I just relayed it, and I understand that. While fighting on the front line, I don't have to bother checking the party status screen to figure out how much MP my buddies have left. But that's a good place for six types: full, still affordable, about half, it's time for danger, less, teasing. Many middle-class adventurers will only judge by two types: "I can still go" and "It's time to take a break". If it's my MP, it's still like that in reality, such as grasping MPs of people with different professions.

"Elder Tail" was a game. So the elements that can happen there if we talk about extremes are determined. Monster movements are predictable if tamed enough.

But as long as humans party and fight, they can't always be exactly the same. Nevertheless, I did not feel a vanity in the siloe, which I said was thirty seconds.

In this "Elder Tail", which has become alien, the contingency of battle is far greater than it was in the time when it was a game. I've made it siloe, but it's impossible to have the power to look 30 seconds ahead. But on the other hand, if it's a siloe, or the expectation that it is, can't be stuffed either.

In other words, the dialog "in 1% increments, 30 seconds ahead" or the like is a word at the end of a distracting drill, if not a void.

The only reason my direct line finds that out is because I've heard such a story in my long relationship with Siloe. The direct succession to fight on the front lines and concentrate on the enemies in front of us is, by reason, convincing as to whether that is the case, but to this day at last, the "feeling" of it is not known to me.

Even though I can read the "sentence" of knocking it out in front of me, I haven't been able to connect to the "sentence" yet.

And the minnoli in front of us are aiming for that siloe.

(I wonder how many seconds ahead you can see in Minori's eyes... How many percent do you watch your buddies grasp? Twenty percent? Or are you acquiring another 10% sense of carving at that level...?

It's time to go back to the battlefield and give the newcomers a break in turn. As soon as the direct line rises, a sharp bursting sound echoes from the north square of the town of Choushi far away. That's a special attack spell from the Forest Curse (Druid), the Cry Mushroom Scream (Sherry Car Echo).

Direct relay delays one beat response.

I didn't know why such a scream was heard in the direction of the field away from the Zantreef Grand River.

Five minnows approached the direct line like the wind.

"We're coming, shithead!

"Nice to meet you"

"Ha ha! I'll take care of it! Out of line."

"Ahhh! Good luck, Mrs. Nyan!

At some point the five, who have withdrawn from the coastline, run north to leave it to their immediate successors. Running out in the summer sun its hindsight was like a swallow flying into the sky in a straight line.

Minori can swing to Xiaolong and Rezaric, who react that they have to fill the missing holes of the Minori and others, and to the strange direct succession. The look was sweaty, but so serious.

"The reaction of the Spirit instead of the alarm I asked Serara for. Probably from the mountains, re-entry of the Goblins. This battle is better suited to us with Mr. Bard, who is capable of continuous combat. - Coast, please, direct line!

"Minori!

To the direct line called for, Minori sweeps her hands wide open.

Running as they were, they disappeared into the town of Choushi.

◆

Running the lead was Lundelhouse.

With his concentration riding all morning, the power of the spell also seems to be only increasing with his mind.

The magic item obtained in the deepest part of "LaGranda's Company" was a magic item called "Magician's Cage Hand" according to a high-level person. It is powerful or irrelevant from the point of view of the entire server because it is a magic item to the extent that 25 levels of characters can be worn, but it is the first "magic item" obtained by the Five Fifty Bells on their own.

A little hurt, the fifty bells looked at a pair of caged hands engraved with dull silver glowing demon squares with their eyes as if to see a treasure. We can't all gear up this item at the same time with only one. I also felt kind of very lonely selling the magic item I found because of it and splitting it into mountains after redemption.

So the Fifty Bells decided to discuss it and use it for Lundell House. This item was like an item dedicated to the sorcery attack position, and to their people he was the only sorcerer.

Lundelhaus shunned only a little at first, but I guess he was still interested. When I could proceed on top of each other, I wore it with joy.

Its caged hands are in the hands of Lundell House, which runs in front of the fifty bells.

A magic item that increases the maximum MP value. That amount is only about 5% of the maximum MP. All fifty bells now understand that the build-up will have a significant impact on the battle, although it is only about one powerful attack magic shot. The red crystal in the middle of the cage shows that it is filled with the magic of the flames used by Lundell House.

Fifty Bells changes the perpetual support song to "Nocturne of Meditation" and "The Deer March". The former enhances MP recovery efficiency, while the latter enhances everyone's speed of movement, a support stunt.

"Thank you, Miss Fifty Bells"

"Rudy's got a little more to loosen up."

Fifty bells point out to Lundell House to thank him. It's good to be healthy, but not a single thing is good for a paper armored mage to run at the head of the line.

"Mmm. I'm sorry."

To Lundell House, who says so and slows down, Fifty Bells gives him a water bottle from his luggage. It's the water I had my innkeeper's daughter cling to in the morning. Even now that I have a mix of squeezed oranges and they get warm, I can drink them somewhat refreshingly.

"... that, are you okay?

"Why? Of course this me, Lundelhaus-Code, is doing well. I feel like there are no enemies in this world. hahahaha."

Lundell House responds with a water bottle. Again, I guess it's basically good to grow up. Even if you do something illegal like drink liquid while walking fast (and laugh high), it doesn't feel rough.

Fifty Bells is convinced that it's because it's a big, slightly saggy-eyed, resemblance to the Golden Retriever.

"You're close."

I laugh when Serara shrugs, but Fifty Bells shrugs her shoulders and says, "Well!" and respond lightly. For the Fifty Bells, Lundelhouse is a man's sticky dog.

Handsome dog with bloodstains kept in a rich house in the neighborhood. It's a long, plugged golden retriever with hairy hair that happens to appear all the time in the house of the Fifty Bells because the garden is bordered.

It's bloody, so of course it's handsome just to shine. I have goods on my face, and there's nothing crude about my actions, and I'm polite. But once you get used to it, this is the idiot. He is the kind of idiot who said to go around until he got serious about playing ball throwing and snagged, or to shake too much and the base of his tail hurts so much.

It's good to call it dumb, it's good to call it natural. Sometimes the arrogant dialogue of over-consciousness just surfaced by an idiot, and I'm not even a little angry.

Fifty bells and this idiot Wonko are already close. The moment I was pegged with the fingertips I offered, I was already friends. So for the chilling of Serara. 'Cause I can honestly nod.

"Enough? Mmm."

It can also be so natural to receive a water bottle from Lundelhaus and wipe it thoroughly before putting it back in the bag.

"I'm sorry."

"Kuck. Brother Rudy, no, I'm just apologizing."

"That's not true, is it? Miss Fifty Bells."

To the teasing leading towya, Rudy says back, but the fifty bells don't fit.

"Rudy is a wizard, so stupid and good enough to look a little great"

In return, he said to Lundelhouse, "What are you talking about! What is an idiot, what is an idiot! What an idiot!" and so on.

It was completely strange.

I can't believe that a rural high school girl who lacks feminine beauty, who lives in a neighborhood with a prince-type Lundell house like the one that came out of a picture book like this... If it's bad, she's wearing a natural girl like a junior high school student.

Objectively, it's also a big thing, and I'm sorry, but the fifty bells make my cheeks fall apart.

It was when fifty bells ran open their mouths thinking I would abuse him for another word or so. A second crying mushroom scream sounds from somewhere not so far away.

When the fifty bells looked at each other, they turned around the corner of the street to increase their walking speed.

The town of Choushi has a unique shape. There is a thick street running in the center of town on the Zantreef Grand River. All the city's central facilities exist on this boulevard. In other words, it's an elongated town built to fit the streets along the river. There are also back streets and crossroads that intersect the boulevard, but they are all auxiliary and short.

Hence, if you turn around the corner of the boulevard and head north, it's already an expansive countryside of the field. Green eggplant, tomatoes, etc. are shaking in the wind this season, or spring sprinkled wheat is looking blue.

There are three or four shadows running through that field.

Fifty Bells chants "A Ballad of Cursed Snails." The gait of the goblins slows down like a sudden loss of leg power. That chance was enough for the reliable companions of the Fifty Bells to capture their enemies.

"Brother Rudy, no, no!

Toya drops her hips deeply when she screams and screws her body through her thoughts. It's not a "provocation" setup that attracts enemies, it's a more aggressive setup.

With so many dispersed goals, the Taunton Stunt of the Samurai is inefficient. It's hard to just hang around and gather your enemies in one place.

"I'll take care of it, towyah! Find out about my beautiful magic, let me show you! Serpent Bolt!

A bunch of blue-purple thunder emitted from Lundell House staff swept all over the field like multiple bands, as the name of the spell showed. In general theory, it is a "pre-emptive attack by a wizard" that is a bad hand.

Eight goblins rushed over from all over the field. Minori, who was a higher number than expected but refrained at the rear of the line, calmly casts a damaging blocking spell. Not to Towya, but to Lundell House.

The first one strikes when Lundelhouse is staffed by a watery mirror-like barrier. Then another swung an axe and thrust. However, any of those attacks are prevented by Minori's "Damage Blocking Spell".

"Damage Blocking Spell" is a special form of healing spell that is unique to the "Divine Officer" (Kannagi) and protects the character from a certain amount of damage.

The typical spell is "Barrier to the Gird", but there are several other types of spells, and the one I used this time was a spell called "Barrier to the Patronage Law". The characteristic is the amount of damage absorbed. It's a powerful spell that can nullify more than four times the damage compared to the Barrier of the Goose, but naturally the reuse regulation time is long and not a cheap move to use.

(But...)

I think as the fifty bells slap the notes early in the arrow succession.

Minori's decision is correct. Thanks to that spell, Lundelhaus is now gaining more defense than Toya. And angry at Lundell House's magical attacks, Goblin is dragged out in front of the fifty bells adventurers in earnest.

The moment the goblins came together, Toya's "whirlwind rice course" was decided. While many goblins are paralyzed as cut off, the rest are Lundelhouse and Towya, and three of the fifty bells slaughter the monsters with each destruction.

During the repeated battles, the Fifty Bells were acquiring not only the basic ones, but also the unusual collaboration. The anomaly is still an anomaly, and although it is not a tactic that can be used all the time, it can also be of great effect in certain situations. It would also cloud with more problem solving drawers.

That and this.

"Hey, Miss Fifty Bells! Have you seen my magnificent magic!

It's about this stupid young man swinging at me.

Fifty bells smiled and slapped Lundelhouse on the head.

Earlier magic is a big deal. It would be the occasional drilling of the Lundell House, though the magic performance would be the same, that accurately hit all that range.

We're all getting stronger. That's why even fifty bells can't go to lose.

◆

Mixed fighting ensued.

The sun is no longer setting in the western sky.

Only five of us in our sight keep fighting on our backs in town. The Minoris were a lonely defense force. The Goblins are likely to be devastated by the night blows of the Minoris, losing most of the power of the medium-sized units they sent to the Choshi side. At least the chain of command should be dimensioned in pieces.

The impact had also manifested itself in this sporadic raid.

The Goblins are not acting in an organized manner, they just want to ravage and plunder the town of Choushi, which rises from the Safaggin raids, intact.

With a nasty barbaric voice, Minori and the others ambushed goblins coming from nowhere, mainly agricultural roads leading to hilly countryside, to destroy them.

The installed magic (Sherry Car Echo) of the Forest Curse (Druid) used by Serara is useful. Instead of setting up an alarm, Minori and the others are covering the small amount of trouble.

"Wa no, Minori. Can I get you a drink?

Minori gives Toya the third water bottle. That's all I expected. Immediate healing spells (instant heels) are cast on Toya, who is sitting at the roots of a roadside tree because the battle is over.

I guess resilience is being demonstrated because the battle is over. Armor scratches get better and better unless they are severely damaged. That goes with Toya's injury. But I won't pull the sweat off the tower as if I wore water. In a long and intense battle, my body must be getting fever. Because of that, my breathing didn't get quite quiet.

Minori was worried about the condition, but didn't say anything in words.

Whatever you do, it's not like we can have a few days of leisurely vacation in Toya right now. Besides, Toya wouldn't want that either. Just as Minori wanted, this defensive operation is also Towya's wish.

All Minori can do is hand in a well-squeezed cloth towel.

"Thankful."

If you nod at Toya's words and give him your gaze, he's trying to restore a little mental strength while keeping most of the line breathing.

Minori's role is as a battlefield sentry. We have taken a step further from this battle and have taken on all information monitors (operators) as well. With Serara's burden of monitoring HP contracted to Minori's side, Serara's recovery and support increased the reaction rate considerably.

Instead, Minori took on the role of paying attention to the surroundings and the health of his allies, that is, to combat information. At first glance, it looks away from combat, but it's also quite a burdensome role.

(It's still sweet...)

Minori also keeps in mind the differences in MP residual recovery rates for everyone, while checking the degree of recovery. During the fight, Minori grasps his fellow MP trends on a 5% basis. From that information and the evolution of the battle, I "read" the battle while making a forecast of wear and tear and assembling a future five or ten seconds away. I still can't trust that accuracy 100%, but I'm pretty sure this predictive capability is helping to avoid the wasted depletion of MP.

Minori's ability to manage combat continues to be polished in an uninspiring series of battles called base defense, unlike normal dungeon attacks.

Minori herself, walking toward the goal of siloe, viewed the control she was doing as a gaping prank, but if her direct line had heard the word, she would have ceased.

Many players have the skills to grasp it with about three types of "full size, half size, tease", such as someone else's MP level.

Increments of 5% represent predictions of the number of magic exercises by others at a specific level, such as, for example, "You should be able to shoot medium-sized healing magic twice later".

It gently transcends the range of insight that the "Adventurer" there exerts on others at the thirtieth level.

"Guys, I just got word from Marielle during the fight."

Minori, who has regained his mind, reports.

Minori often stands by using herself as a reserve because she exercises combat control. He's trying to monitor the perimeter, holding back the spell he wants to fire.

Because of that, I was able to notice the reading.

"Marielle says" Okupete "- Akiba's city task force is headed this way by boat. He said he was supposed to arrive in the evening."

"Speaking of evening, it's almost evening."

"Right."

"Hmm, I guess I'm a little behind"

Minori twists her neck. Well, sure, the sky's still blue, but in time, it's late for the afternoon. Of course, there's still time to get dark.

"The story said he was coming by boat and he was going to make a landing operation. If the coastline (that way) is boosted, there will also be replacement personnel in the field (this way)... As long as it lasts, like, three hours."

The brightness floats all the way on the face of Fifty Bells and Serara. Lundelhaus and Towya still seem to be tightening themselves up if they're not alarmed, but they've definitely become something relaxed with a load of shoulders down somewhere.

In about half a day of combat, he defeated nearly thirty goblins.

It's a stressful battle, though not a lot in total. It's like relying only on (crying mushroom screaming) to slap the goblins who don't know where they're coming from on a wide scale, and I don't have time to rest.

"Crying Mushroom Screaming" as a sensor is useful but not complete. Instead, I couldn't help but wonder when it would leak from the gap in that net towards the city. Now, some of the goblins fell out toward the city, and there were cases of Minori and the others rushing back to crusade.

Fighting while patrolling around town is just in case a defensive line is breached, think about the distance back to the center of Choushi, and in that sense you can't push up the defensive line.

Fortunately, the command and control of the Goblins has been lost, and if there was a good commander, the field would have been burned and other disruptive tactics would have been used. Minori and the others were afraid of it, but they've managed to get this far.

"That's right. If the ship comes, people will come around."

Serara snorts.

It is clear that the root of the current suffering is the dispersion of the forces through Operation Two Fronts. Neither goblins nor safaggins are so formidable enemies on their own at a time when they have not put in large warcraft.

"We're done, let's all do our best."

Toya stood up to cut the voice, gaining momentum.

The afternoon wind was still as hot as fried in a frying pan, but the information that reinforcements were there if a little more was enough to rejuvenate everyone's expression.

It was about fifteen minutes after the patrol resumed.

If time passes without anything like this, Minori's wishes will be betrayed as expected.

The giant crushing noise was heard behind the minnows, on the main street of town. Minori and the others who returned the shock when they allowed such a deep intrusion encountered a platoon of goblins with two Demonic Wolves (Diawolves), wielding signs of violence.

◆

That was an overly poorly understood battle.

"Let it be!!

Once again, Towya strikes (rushes) to restrain the Diawolf that hits the fifty bells. However, the assault inevitably resulted in giving freedom of movement to the Ironbody Green Ghost (Hobgoblin), which Toya had suppressed.

In repeated battles, the long-running major moves of members are almost out of sorts. With the presence of the fifty bells, the Bard, MP has plenty of room, but that alone lacks breaking the situation.

Hobgoblin shakes off a huge swing of hammer in both hands like a baseball bat and hits the flank of defenseless Towya.

(Huh! Enough said)

And the attack makes a crushing noise that you can never hear in baseball, and it clashes into the "Junction of the Gird." The noise that causes thick glass to come together and shake decreases the durability of personal junctions that emit light blue.

"Damage Blocking Spell" is a special form of healing spell that nullifies a certain amount of damage by granting it in advance. It is the ultimate defensive spell that can completely neutralize damage if it is below its absorption, but if it exceeds its absorption, it will fall off regardless of its duration.

Minori, who sees the radiance of a broken junction like glass, is intuitively convinced that the damage hasn't killed out.

"Quartet worship!!

Minori projects an emergency "Damage Blocking Spell". This spell only has the category of emergency use, a spell that is quick to chant on top of little MP cost and brings almost the same strength of defense to all of Minori's surrounding companions as "Jigi's Boundary". But it can't all be so convenient.

(... Now this hand is no longer available)

Minori bites her lips with a bloody lost face.

Emergency spells, as their name suggests, are a rush to the ground. In addition to being asked for almost half of Minori's HP as a price, the reuse regulation time is long, and the same hands cannot be used for another 24 hours.

"Stop! Stop!

Serara activates the Friendly Willow (Willow Spirit), and a large warehouse wall nearby intertwines with Diawolf. As Diawolf roared as he had been, he began to stand his nails on the earth and manage to get out of the restraint.

This is the third time Serara has used this spell. With as great a body and power as Diawolf, you can also pull off plant commandments and such. Then if this suppression is futile, there is no such thing. Serara has stopped at least one of the Diawolves with this spell, so Toya and the others can focus on the other enemies.

But on the other hand, it also means that Minori has to follow up on her area of responsibility, her recovery spell, as soon as Serara becomes clear to Diawolf.

"I won't let you! I know you're talking!

Toya swung the sword she had set up.

No moves, nothing, it was a force blow, but it also involves a hobgoblin in its direction of progression, starting with one of the goblins.

Taking advantage of his excellent stature, Hobgoblin pushed the goblin away, challenging him toward Towya again.

"Ironbody Green Ghost" (Hobgoblin) is a subspecies of goblins. But even though it is a subspecies, its ability is higher than that of the population, the goblins. The Goblins, who originally lived in flocks in groups, could not say that their lives were right in flattery or discipline. This time, the "King" happens to be crowned, forming looting armies, etc., but the truth is that it is a tribal society, a chaotic subhuman race that spends time looting the property of others and violence.

A species of the same subhuman, the "Ugly Pig Ghost" (Oak), who lives in the South, has a stronger chaotic attribute than its preference for military groups and nation-building in an evil way, is the species Goblin.

Hobgoblins are a highly craving subspecies that can follow others while taking over the nature of goblins. Sometimes they are more intelligent than goblins, and use the weapons they take from humans.

This hobgoblin is also quite a formidable enemy who has taken it from some knight, wearing parts of sheet metal armor in disguise and manipulating metal sledgehammers. Would you level it and get to 30? To be honest, it's more than likely in the hands of the Minoris today.

The hobgoblin follows two diawolves and four goblins. What the Minori and the others are now managing to counter is only the result of the situation in which they are fighting while defending the rear row with no siege attacks in order to know the geography of this town's boulevard, and the fact that they are experiencing breathing among their members with recent special training.

Minori and the others are fighting in more than their own strengths.

"Towya, switch! Keep the wolves and the bosses down!

But temper beyond its limits does not last long. The trend of battle is shaking over a dangerous equilibrium. If so, we should now make the most of the benefits of the emergency spell we used.

Minori was determined and jumped to the front line.

"Quartet Worship" develops the Damage Block for the "Binding of the Giraffe" class to all parties. That time remaining is 32 seconds. With those 32 seconds, even Minori would be able to outperform Goblin's attack.

I jumped out determined, but my legs are trembling and I'm going to lose my strength. The dusty summer streets feel fluffy as if they were made of cushions. But as he shook off such an unreality, Minori skipped a forward kick to the nearest goblin in a non-girly manner.

"Okay, let's go! Miss Fifty Bells!!

"Roger, Rudy!

A cry for cover rises from the rear row as if I woke up. Just hearing the first passage of Lundelhouse's chant, Minori learns that her intentions are being accurately communicated.

Minori in defensive posture outweighs Goblin's attack, which strikes him with a laugh like crazy. Rely on your own Damage Blocking Spell, send only attacks targeting steep points, and then take them with a solid piece of leather armor. I'm not dodging it, I jump from myself into the attack and stop it with my body before my weapon is shaken off.

Toya was doing the exact same thing to Hobgoblin and his Diawolf opponent, his superior enemies, with his sister acting like she was out of her mind.

It's been a long time since the battle began, even though some damage has been blocked. The twins, creeping blood stains all over their bodies, take a meat-cutting knife from one or the goblins, expose themselves to the teeth of one or the fierce Demon Wolf, and build a front line by the two of them.

The chant continues in the time the twins have earned.

That was a powerful range attack spell even as Lundelhaus knew it. The chant is long, but if it hits, it can't help but do a lot of damage, it's an icy spell. That followed by a high sounding is a fifty bell support stunt.

Lundelhaus' voice, shouting "Frigit Windu," decorated precisely by a fifty bell singing one octave high, the rotating spell turns all the goblins into frozen statues.

Minori checks his buddy's status as he retreats from an ice statue suddenly dominated by cold air. What is the situation? Minori's complexion is not excellent, even as she chants a new damaging blocking spell in the sky above.

The Goblins, the miscellaneous fish, swept away with Lundelhouse's powerful attack spell. But Minori is on the front line to buy that time, and Toya continues to suffer damage during the time lost there.

Minori tells Toya about the new "Ganoderma Junction", but the Damage Blocking Spell does not restore "Lost HP". It is also the fatal weakness of the special healing spell manipulating (Kannagi). The performance of the so-called normal healing spell, which heals the damage itself, is by no means high when it comes to controlling it to avoid damage.

Minori herself has lost half of her HP to the price of an earlier emergency spell.

The situation is not good.

But reducing the number of goblins is good news. The number of people who could join a direct attack was an advantage for the enemy. With that advantage crushed, the winning opportunity never left yet. Minori gives instructions to Lundelhouse and Fifty Bells as he projects his own inferior healing spell and a damaging blocking spell toward Towya. At that direction, the two began to focus their attacks on Diawolf.

- If you encounter multiple strong enemies, various operations can be considered. If this is an ambush, defeating the opponent's strongest individual and soothing morale is also effective. If we're good, they'll get away with it. But if not, in a fight that kills each other, the point is to reduce the number from the opponent's weak individual. Damage control should be ensured by reducing the target's attack participation.

The words Shiloe taught me come back to life.

Toya keeps bleeding. Minori is proud, my dear brother is hurt and distorts his expression in pain. But that's why we should focus on reducing the number of enemies here.

While Toya bleeds out of the wound to support the front line, Lundelhaus and the others should stab Diawolf in the stomach, and that's what makes room for Toya to support the front line.

Minori, faithful to Siroe's advice, was now "reading" exactly the battle.

But then, the wall of equilibrium collapses.

Even the second Diawolf was attacked by Towya after shaking off Serara's restraint spell. Two warcraft and a mighty foe, Hobgoblin. With those three, Minori's projected barrier flies in an instant.

Minori does the math by chewing on the newly popped information in an instant. That's a rather unconscious feeling.

Nine seconds. - Yes, nine seconds later, Towya dies.

Minori gazes madly at her own magical chanting icon. Eight seconds to re-changeable time for "The Junction of the Giraffe". But as we saw earlier, this class of damage blocking spells can no longer stop the attack of three enemies in front of you.

"Not yet!!

Serara's scream echoes. It is "pulse recovery" that is projected. It is a special unique healing stunt held by the Forest Curse (Druid). Spells that continuously heal damage should gradually increase Towya's HP, but that won't happen.

It's faster to lose than to recover. Even Serara's pulse recovery can only help prolong the time to death.

Recalculation, recalculation, recalculation.

Minori thinks as she desperately leans on a fine healing spell. Any combination of Minori's healing spells and Serara's healing spells will not make it longer than 35 seconds for Toya to fall.

(This... eh)

A nasty flavor spreads in my mouth and a disgusting chill rushes through my spine. Towya is an avant-garde necessity. When Toya falls, it means that the chances of all of us being wiped out jump. But it wasn't just that, it was instinctive disgust.

I can't breathe well.

It doesn't get into your lungs as if the air has become liquid. Time becomes heavy with stickiness, and only a burning feeling of helplessness is extended many times to continue.

Moments, time re-accelerates like it was bounced.

Sliding through Minori's side, Lundelhaus hit Diawolf with his hands in his mouth.

"Rudy!!

"Leave it to me. Eh!! Miss Fifty Bells! I am an adventurer!! I can't believe I get hit by such a dog colo style, I wonder!!!!

A giant wolf as big as a cow. Lundelhaus sticks his arm up to his shoulder in the midst of a toothed aftermath that seems to even squirm his upper body. Diawolf steps on his feet as if they were made of that steel, swinging the Lundelhouse by his neck and hitting the building wall.

"Rudy!!

A screaming scream of fifty bells sounds, and a heavyweight spear in its hand is slapped on the diawolf, but it doesn't look like any damage has been done to the body covered in bristles.

"Calm down, Miss Fifty Bells. Gentlemen…, always take your son…. Ha."

Lundell House pulled out on the street. With a demonic flaming glow in his eyes, Diawolf exhales his beastly breath and tries to throw out Lundelhouse, but he stays squeaky all over the mud and sweat, clinging to Diawolf's fangs and not trying to get away from that face.

Every time his fangs tend to sound and the cloudy blood odor blows around him, the Fifty Bells beat the spear over and over again, but Lundelhaus pushes it away.

"When I leave, come on... one strikes Toya again... ru. Even Toya, the three of them... can't..."

That's exactly what it is.

Because Lundelhaus is sacrificing himself, Towya can escape the fate of death. The pressure of attack damage is decreasing and the situation is showing signs of improvement.

"'Cause, Rudy!

"Fifty bells! We're in an offensive position!

Lundelhaus just pushes it further into the wolf's mouth when he gives me his own arm as it is. Wolves are dogs. Because of the structure of its body, it is difficult to attack another subject unless you release something deep in your mouth once.

"Just go away."

"Defeat the enemy!!

The screaming Lundelhouse begins chanting just saying that no more words are spared. My arms are no longer flabby and I'm just strained like a piece of meat connected from my shoulder. Still force it into Diawolf's mouth, while concentrating the energy of the flames. The magma spell is projected, so I burned the built-in diawolf for too close a distance.

The Demon Wolf can't stand the pain and manages to pull Lundelhaus, but Lundelhaus clings as if he was possessed and never tries to free Diawolf.

No, in a row of fangs that have already grown like a scarecrow, the fibers of Lundelhouse's clumped robe are entangled, and the parts of the magic cage hand that are all the way to the elbow are folded in, making it difficult for him to pull them out himself.

"Don't lick it. Me!!

A plundering voice echoes on the streets of the sunset that began to twilight.

"I'm Lundelhaus-Cord!! He's an adventurer!!

◆

The area was full of burnt smells.

The magic of the "Mage's Cage Hand", which Lundelhaus rampaged, burned down the built-in Diawolf, as he thought, and used the momentum to turn Hobgoblin's right half into a charcoal extinguishing.

The battle ended with the victory of the Fifty Bells.

But Lundelhaus, the winning actor and supposed to have a great laugh in the brain weather, lies in mud in front of the fifty bells.

"Nature Revive!!

Serara's resurrection spell is ineffective.

That's normal, too. That complexion I lay on is so blue and white already that it is stained with blood. The lid like a prince, even if thinly dirty, was smooth, as if it were a noble offspring who fell asleep......

He was a "Landlord".

"... sorry"

In the palm of the fifty bells, there is a bump and a hot thing.

"Why can't you come back to life? Hey, Minori, hey!

That's what Toya shouts, not knowing what's going on. Minori nods at the words and chants "Soul Calling Prayer," but after all, Lundelhaus does not return. That's normal, too.

"Sorry...... TOUYA. Rudy is……………… of…"

Fifty bells cursed.

It's like if I admitted it, I'd let go of my hand, and the words were badly misaligned. Minori clenched her fist in the corner of her sight and felt Serara whine, "Oh no..." but the Fifty Bells just didn't seem to care about that.

"- Rudy is a" grounder. "... We had a party together, we had an adventure together, we were having dinner together though.... Rudy is a" Earthlings "... So... then..."

- I didn't.

The chest of the fifty bells is about to crumble in pain.

It's not like I didn't imagine this.

So I tried to disagree with you to fight, and if you can't disagree, I was going to cover you so that you would never force Lundelhouse to.

But I couldn't stop it.

If I had stopped Lundell House at that first time.

If you say no to Kippari when you notice in "LaGranda do". Yeah, it doesn't have to be. If only I'd told everyone honestly, I might not have had to end up like this.

To fulfill Lundelhouse's dream, Fifty Bells has helped the lie. I can't believe Lundelhouse has such a childish look that he's going to be an adventurer.

The Adventurer and the Earthlings are different.

They are completely different in the first place.

"Be" can't possibly do that.

Yes. Wasn't Lundelhaus troubled and hurt? It was blurry that no matter how many fights I fought, I didn't get enough experience. Even half of the fifty bells did not accumulate experience and were frustrated by the fact that they did not rise to a high level, so they were in such a hurry to train.

I have never seen fifty bells, such as Lundell House grazing in the tent. Even in a few moments I found time to train and meditate hard. Although he said that he was a natural duty as your son or a man's true self, he couldn't have included any anxiety and frustration there.

I knew and overlooked the fifty bells.

(Sorry. Sorry...... Rudy......)

Because Lundelhaus is too young to want innocently. Fifty bells dreamed too. I can't believe the Earthlings can be Adventurers.

"Brother Rudy... are you a" Earthlings "...?

Fifty bells nod in the voice of Toya. If I nodded, the tears that convey my cheeks would drip from my jaw, but I didn't care about that. This is the punishment of fifty bells.

Give me the Lundell House that was so sweet.

I need a Lundelhouse that treated me like a girl with just a country thing.

Lundell House called me a "miss" whenever I could to the slightly unspoilt self who cares about the scabbard.

Without even stopping properly to the end, I just pulled my leg...... Fuck that, treat me like I'm an idiot or a dog... I'm glad you talked to me, I'm glad you complimented me, it's my sin not to tell you I'm glad you treated me like a girl.

"Ah......"

Serara groans. Immediate healing spells (instant heels) are applied, ears are placed on the chest, facial expressions are clouded, and instant heels are repeated.

"Oh no..."

Fifty Bells finds unlikely hope and stuffs it in Serara.

"I don't know. The pulse is raging, but I feel a slight reaction when heeled... But I'm sorry. The resuscitation doesn't work..."

Fifty bells feel the hope they regained shatter because of it. But there was one girl who strongly inherited the word.

"Not yet."

"Huh?"

"... please help me. I need Mr. Shiloe's help (,,,,,,,,,,)."
