Log Horizon

◆ 17

Chun Cui (Chunlu) was a member of an Alliance called "Raku Wolf Cavalry". According to her description, Raku Wolf Cavalry is an Alliance that has fled the capital of China (Dadadon) to the west. Metropolitan is the equivalent of Shanghai in the real world. It is a starting town on the Chinese server alongside Yandu (Yendong) in Beijing.

She told me about her journey with Leonardo and the others. The heart of the Chinese server - it's a coastal area, but they changed its home base to the West as the forefront of the Alliance, which was disgusted by the deterioration of public opinion in the region.

Leonardo thought he was listening.

Perhaps "Raku Wolf Cavalry" is an at-home guild. If you listen to me, they say it's also around five hundred people in size. It is a giant guild but not enough to say 'super giant'. In other words, there are enough people to withstand the situation, but they're not big enough to control the server's hegemonic struggle. The evacuation decision seemed reasonable, for example.

Above all, she was bright in the region.

Of course this wilderness is spreading unexplored areas. Anyway, it is the central part of the vast Eurasian continent. Even though it was half-sized in the Half-Guire Project, Chinese servers have vast areas in the real world that can hardly be said to have been developed, such as the Tianshan Mountains, the Takramakan Desert and the Pamir Plateau.

In addition to the giant nation of China, its administrative area also includes Central Asian countries such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

For that overall picture, there would be no "adventurers" or "earthlings" such as those who know each zone. Even the developers must not have grasped it.

Nevertheless, there existed humans using narrow paths connecting trade routes and villages to oasis, one of those few being Chun Cui and Ju Ha, the (earthlings) merchant.

"It's good to be here with you!

The night he traveled from the village, Kanami smiled and made a declaration to his fellow travellers as he rinsed boiling water in a brisket can.

Leonardo must also nod to this.

Indeed, Juuha, a [Earthlings] merchant, is a fighter. The look is a man stinking beard surface, and with a disappointing physique, he is arguably relatively tough among the "earthlings". According to this, you may have the strength of a soldier there. But its physical abilities are much lower than those of the Leonards (Adventurers) who have reached ninety levels.

A line proceeding according to the instructions of Juuha uses about ten hours each day for travel.

Without him, the travel time would increase by about two hours, and the distance he could tread in a day would double.

But no one was dissatisfied with that.

Hurry up with "Adventurers" alone, there's a chance you can shorten your itinerary for a week or two, but you'll be far more likely to get lost or in trouble. Whether it's Leonardo or Kanami or Coppelia, I don't even think an oasis can be discovered by an "adventurer" with a long urban life.

Now Elias, who discovered a water field from a sandstone ridge, was stopped by Juuha in an attempt to descend that ridge.

The oasis overlooking that ridge did have clear water gleaming, but he said that if we went down the ridge, we would be trapped in a huge plot of land.

Climbing a brittle, collapsible sandstone cliff is a daunting business, and Leonardo and the others gave up when they said they would waste three days graciously reaching the next oasis. There is also a history that that evening we reached an abandoned village with small but cozy ancient wells.

Desert and wilderness journeys require experience.

"Right."

Elias answers Kanami's brain-weather voice with a deeply resounding voice. Even the voice of this (ancient species) hero, a beautiful young man as painted, was beautiful.

"Totally."

Leonardo answered with a shrugged shoulder.

Normally, it's not strange to feel some kind of complex. It's a lot of Elias' favorite boys (high specs), but it doesn't feel strange. Maybe I got stunned.

(The other guy is that 'Elias-Hackblade'. Just think, sounds stupid......)

The flame of the fireworks made a noise with the patsy.

It was solid fuel that dried livestock manure and a flame that was ignited by a small amount of incineration.

Every shaky blue light illuminates a line that leans against the rock shadow.

"Heh heh! Today, I'm the deepest!

Kanami dived into the deepest part of the tent set up by Leonardo early. This tent was held by Juuha and seems to be a must have for the journey. Over a plaid braided bamboo frame, covered with a sturdy felt fabric, which is very cold proof despite folding.

It was sufficiently possible for the six of them to lie down as long as they meditated on their eyes even falling asleep in the miscellaneous fishes.

Leonardo, who has traveled without any kind of camp preparation, has been impressed by this camping facility and the way Coppelia is hand-familiar to prepare for it, leaving it to the physical performance of the "Adventurer".

There is a reasonable course of action in everything.

"What about KR?

"I don't mind. I'm more resistant to the cold than you guys. Even horses have their advantages."

KR is moving his resemblance to that horse to the entrance to the tent as soon as possible.

Even though it's a high-performance felt tent. Sometimes the winds of the plateau sneak in at night. It was cold near the entrance and Kanami, who hated it, escaped to the privileged seat. Apparently KR will assume the entrance part by guessing it.

Coppelia also heads to the resting support so that he can be pulled into Kanami. From inside the tent we also hear disturbing remarks about "pillows" and "puffiness," etc., but Leonardo recieved that it was about women.

Elias, Chun Cui and Ju Ha, who stayed near the fireworks, look a little more awake.

Fatigue on the journey is forbidden. That being said, it should still be around 19: 00. Not long before the sun sets, there is still some time before drowsiness comes, more than we are in camp preparation.

"How about another drink?

To Chun Cui's recommendation, Leonardo offered a mug in hand. As she cleverly lowered the pot of brass that was hanging on the fire with two branches, she pinched it up with the hem of her cape and poured hot enough tea into the cup to simmer on.

"Be careful, it's hot"

"Thanks"

He thanked Chun Cui, who would also give Elias the mug he poured as well.

"That's amazing"

"Always around here."

Juuha replied to Elias' words, who looked up into the sky.

It was like a starry sky full of heaven. The brilliance of scattered crushed diamonds colours the night sky with unlimited clarity.

"The Raku Wolf Cavalry is planning a massive battle against the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost (Knoll)."

rinse the hot tea, Leonardo asked.

"Yes," Chun Cui nodded to the words.

"What about the odds?

"Is it a chance? The Raku Wolf Cavalry is a guild with fewer than five hundred personnel. This operation is directed by Alliance leader Zhu Huan (Juhowan) himself. You won't get behind."

Hundreds, I didn't sound familiar with the word, but I could understand saying it was probably a battalion formation (Legion Reid). Ninety-six in number. It doesn't matter if you say roughly a hundred.

Generally speaking, an Adventurer's ability to fight jumps to the top of an increase in numbers. The total combat ability of the two (Adventurers) is not twice that of a single Adventurer. At least two and a half times. If cooperation is used, it reaches triple.

This is an expression of the ability of an Adventurer's party to fight organically as a single organism rather than as a group of multiple Adventurers. Adventurers who have demonstrated their strengths, such as what they are good at defending, recovering, attacking, and disrupting enemies, will demonstrate their ability to fight until they are horrified if they complement each other's weaknesses and demonstrate their strengths.

There are, of course, various prerequisites for such organic cooperation. The "Adventurer" who organizes the party will grasp each other's abilities and collaborate appropriately. Trying to live up to their hopes with a sense of trust.

And this principle also applies to large combat units.

Twenty-four full raids, consisting of four parties for six. Ninety-six Legion Raids bind its four full raids. In these large units, it is difficult to communicate with each other's intentions, which are important in cooperation. That said, if that difficulty is overcome, this regiment-sized group of < adventurers > can be considered the strongest military force in the Cerdesian world.

The level of "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" is roughly twenty to fifty. I don't know what tactics "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" is going to use, but if "Raku Wolf Cavalry" is finishing their collaborative training there, it can be fought forty times - yes, even with four thousand "Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts" without pulling a single step.

That's usually enough power for any massive content breakthrough.

Of course, after the Catastrophe, the battle changed its appearance.

Fear of 'violence' where steel meets with a burning smell. The 'death' mockery that turns into a bloody mass of meat in front of you.

The impact they have is never small. Even spirits that are more pain resistant due to system assistance can break. Leonardo has seen a lot of such "adventurers". But if you believe Chun Cui's words, that would be worrying too. Leonardo received the impression that the Raku Wolf Cavalry was a hand-worked group led by a brilliant leader.

Except for that phenomenon called the Epiphany.

Leonardo still doesn't have what seems to be a conclusion as to what the hell the plague is. I also tried to talk to Chun Cui, but she said she had never heard of it. Zhuha said he had heard it as a rumor between the (earthlings), but he was refreshed about the details and the reality of it, and of course he had never seen an example of it.

What is that minded 'earthlings' boy?

The boy's behavior definitely belonged to the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost".

It seems almost self-evident that [Grey Spotted Dog Ghost] has something to do with him being in that condition. So I also feel a little anxious about the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" crusade of "Raku Wolf Cavalry".

But if Leonardo has no clue what exactly the relationship is between the plague ghost and the "grey spotted dog ghost" and what the mystery is there.

Chun Cui was also told of the incident's revelations and asked Headquarters to call for vigilance, but at this point in time, where there was no certainty, he could only hope for an effect to the extent of "calling attention".

"I hope there's nothing"

Elias' dialogue was unreliable somewhere. They don't even use the words of a hero at times like this.

Between the Leonards, who continue their journey to the tail, and the Raku Wolf Cavalry, which continues on the southern plains, there is a distance of at least one hundred kilometers. I wasn't asked to rescue you in a clear way. I wish you well, but I can't do anything.

It was a natural conclusion, and that was the common view of Elias and Leonardo.

"Raku Wolf Cavalry" proceeding under the night sky far south.

At this time, they were aiming all the way to the Column Ruins Tone's Grave.

◆ 18

And two days later, the end of the battle was opened in Reid troops away from Leonardo.

Ninety-six Legion Laids, led by Zhu Huan, were attacked by the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", which surrounded the ruins of the column pillars in a dozen ways.

The number of "Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts" is enormous due to scout reports - at least, 10,000 have been found to be collected. In terms of numerical power ratios, the difference is more than a hundred times greater.

But a hundred monsters can't be attacked by one Adventurer at the same time where there was a hundred times more power. The fact is that "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" surrounds the ruins as if to protect them, and from Legion Reid, led by Zhu Huan, it is also placed on the other side of the ruins.

In other words, the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost hasn't been able to live up to that number. Zhu Huan's troops should deal with even hundreds of "grey spotted dog ghosts" surrounding them. And it was thought that the siege to that extent would not stop them from legging. The individual combat abilities of "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" are not far from those of the "Adventurer" individuals gathered this time.

A song rises from within the troops.

It's the Nocturne of Meditation.

In this land, it is a song called Eun-si Night Song (Changsiiiwakui). This music played by the bard has the effect of slowly but slowly recovering MPs that would not naturally recover during combat. Its speed is slow, but the amount of healing that can be cumulative if it is also a prolonged battle is significant. It's a strategic stunt.

You can also see the green glow of Heartbeat Healing, a pulsating restoration that the Forest Curse (Druid) flashes all over the unit.

In a recovery position, the unique healing stunts each has, i.e., reaction-activated healing, damage blocking, pulse healing, are more efficient than instant healing spells that instantly heal HP in relation to the amount of healing HP and MP consumption. Among them, the Dolphin's manipulative pulse recovery does not have the ability to recover instantaneously, but it is a user-friendly spell with characteristics that continue to restore HP for a certain amount of time.

As can be seen from these two points, Zhu Huan's emphasis in organizing this Legion Reid was more on his ability to continue combat than on his instantaneous attack abilities. If the target is a "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost," it is possible to bury him even if he does not retain a powerful attack capability.

Rather, it is likely that the siege by number will make fatigue stronger on this one.

At a point three kilometers rear of the "Column Ruins Tones Grave", a backpacking unit was stationed, but Zhu Huan was treading that this battalion of ninety-six would be settled.

"Bring the exhausted third unit inside! Take turns right wing! First unit, forward!!

Rough and plundering in his wilderness life, he nevertheless raises his voice full of prestige and gives instructions. In response to Zhu Huan's voice, the troops proceeded and mutilated the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost".

In such battles, Swordsmen of Thieves (Swashbucklers) and Taoists (Taomancers) are the protagonists of the battle. Their attacks can contain the monster, not the dot, but the surface, in order to engage the range.

The Mage's extensive spell, Lightning Nebula, is projected into the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost. Of the electric light emitting the brilliance of blue-purple, it glowed as if it were a nebula, trapping a dozen dirty dog heads inside it.

Cool away the screams of the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" gushing around, and the four "Burglar Swordsmen" descend from the left and right of the troops in a Kyota-like gait. Whenever their twin swords twitched and flashed from left to right, the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", bound by thunder, fell like funny.

The swordsman's blood dance continues, and when space is available in the front of the unit, even the Guardian Warrior and other heavily armed control units advance to fill the gap. The Swordsmen are attack specialists. Prepare them for an attack that they are retrieving inside the unit before they suffer any wasted damage.

Soldiers loyal to the fundamentals of what was not flashy were steadily moving the troops to the centre of the ruins.

"An hour into battle."

Zhu Huan shrugs.

Originally, in his head, the annihilation of the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" by the troops is not an option.

The Grey Spotted Dog Ghost exceeds 10,000 and may reach 20,000. I don't think extermination is impossible if you care about it, but that would take too much effort and would be unrealistic.

Apparently, the Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts are in formation to surround the ruins of several columns. In other words, in the north, where Zhu Huan and his men have now begun their attack, they are also in formation across the ruins. I don't feel comfortable carrying out the extermination operation after calling up even those reserves.

Rather than that, Zhu Huan's survey tells us it's better to go for the center of the ruins.

What is the army by this "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" in the first place?

Given the habit of "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", this number was abnormal, even though we know that the herd gathers. "Something" happened to the Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts - possibly a massive combat quest or similar event.

By virtue of their 'something' they are called and assembled.

The black dragon in the report must also have something to do with that 'something'.

And the key to solving that mystery must be in the heart of the ruins of the columns surrounded by the forces of the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost". Zhu Huan thinks so.

"Back row, Wizard! Shatter the enemies on the hill ahead! Start shooting!!

If "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" were to have tens of thousands of troops, just shoot through evenly deployed defensive battles at right angles, that number would be less than a thousand. Now the Raku Wolf Cavalry is eating up its defensive net.

But something's wrong.

The first signs were noticed by the Burglar Swordsmen who cut into the enemy group. Their manipulative sword is magnified by the stunt Blue Storm. The ability to attack is the same as normal, but its attack range is wide. The sword involves the surrounding monsters. The damage they inflicted was maximized by the swelling of their enemies and the formation of dense enemies.

The four Burglar Swordsmen, who run through the premise of supporting attacks by their allies, succeeded in increasing damage by exquisitely overlapping their range of attacks, creating a Killing Field in front of their troops.

But.

That light sword dance will be inhibited by the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" who should have fallen and lay on the ground. Indeed, the swollen hand that must have knocked him down grabbed the Swordsman's ankle.

Still young, Dwarf's "Swordsman of Thieves", who looked good when he said he was a boy, shoved a scream in the back of his throat and killed him.

No matter how extensively you say it's a dominant battle that spreads damage, there's no way you won't check the enemy's HP. It is true that the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", which was supposed to have stabbed him in the stomach, has risen. Now the monsters' arms are chopped a thousand times, and even a white gut peeks through the cracks of crushed scaled armor.

But what the boy really feared was not the grotesque appearance of the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost". It was a status notation.

The brightly annihilating notation alternates between "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost: Warrior" and "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost: Dark Mage". In conjunction with its bright demise, monsters that even shake the value of HP are unreasonable from a boy's point of view.

It was just like a ghost or a demon charm.

"Greek!"

"Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", who raised an unspeakable voice containing blood saliva, hit the boy's ankle as it was. It's a bloodthirsty bite, a racist way of attacking the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost. The boy waves his sword off to his neck as he feels his fangs plugged into his ankle.

But HP doesn't decrease.

The Grey Spotted Dog Ghost will not die.

Absolutely. That HP display is more zero than originally, so it can't be reduced. You know, a moment after the attack, you put the numbers back on the display bar and look up at the boy resentfully with your yellow, cloudy eyes.

The boy panicked in agony as if he could be tightened up with burning all-powerfulness.

Wave the sword. Shake.

"Higu! Higu!!

The "grey spotted dog ghost" finally silenced after continuing to beat him as if he were going to kill him (clean) while screaming and killing him in the back of his throat. The familiar "Forest Curse" who rushed sees the boy and hangs his pulse recovery.

The spell healed my ankle wound, but the boy's expression is drawing me to a cry.

It wasn't as much damage as life-threatening originally.

The "damage" suffered by the boy was more of a cold fear, like a freezing wind blowing into his heart than HP's.

Similar disruptions were occurring everywhere on the battlefield.

You're supposed to be dead, but you get up (Grey Spotted Dog Ghost). "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", who assumed it was a sorcery system, waves an axe at the next moment. The "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost", who was waving his sword, unleashes magic.

No matter how much small work you do, "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" is the only "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost."

Calm down and deal with it. Not the enemies of the "Raku Wolf Cavalry", and even in this mess now, the damage to the "Raku Wolf Cavalry" did not explode. But this irrational phenomenon aroused a primitive fear in the mind of the adventurer.

"Catastrophe" is an irrational disaster.

No reason or explanation was given for that.

One day they were suddenly pinched from their familiar homeland, Earth, and left alone in this other world. At a time when there is not even an indication of how to return, that could have been called deportation.

In such horrible circumstances, the Adventurer did not have to panic to the worst because this world was different, but very similar to the world of their familiar game Elder Tail.

What do you mean, you look terribly like the game?

That is to say that there are certain laws and they are understandable.

This other world was a different world that could be deciphered by the laws and common sense of the game they had acquired during the time they were playing "Elder Tail," or reason (sayings).

Making sense doesn't just mean knowledge works. It's a concept that also encompasses the hope of being "comprehensible any day." That is why the Adventurer came bending over in this unfamiliar and stressful otherworld.

But the demons in front of them defy the 'Elder Tail' gaming system they profess.

HP is strength, the power that exists. If that number goes to zero, it falls.

That's supposed to be the 'rule'.

HP may recover and revive for special abilities, stunts, or events. However, the status notation should not be disturbed and multiple occupations should not be displayed alternately. It was a phenomenon against the rules, which gave a hunch about the system collapse of the "Elder Tail".

The perception brought a quiet, but deep-rooted panic within the Adventurer.

If we acknowledge the phenomenon in front of us, we will lose the rules they have been more in place than ever before. I mean, this world is going to be bullshit and irrational in a true sense. Humans cannot stand the fact that the world continues to be incomprehensible.

"Lower the Swordsman! Summoner! Hit the melee type on the front line, hurry!!

Zhu Huan, who sensibly perceived the air, slaps a new instruction.

Enemy attacks are not intense. In a short period of time, it is possible to support the front line, even if it is inferior to the ability of the Adventurer to fight summoning creatures.

Panic will fit in soon. But that takes some time to spare.

At this moment, if further shocks hit, the front line could collapse. But on the contrary, it also meant that if we raised this situation, it would be as easy to take it back as possible.

The Raku Wolf Cavalry still has enough combat resources and reserve power.

You don't have to win now. We should be thorough in our defense and wait for the troops to recover from mental unrest.

Zhu Huan had not received any eyebrow saliva reports from the reconnaissance forces, but did not assume that it would cause such occult phenomena. Zhu Huan continues to command with a rugged look when he wipes the dirt of blood mud on the armor of the Three Kingdoms.

Now it's more important than anything to raise your voice and inspire your crew.

Discerning the importance of command over individual martial arts in nature, Zhu Huan continued to raise his steady voice just because he knew everything to reassure his men.

But Zhu Huan's voice will also be erased by the blackdragon's wings.

◆ 19

Like the decaying ribs of a strange giant beast that lived in antiquity, its sharp, crooked tips pierced heaven.

The height is approximately thirty meters.

About ten stories in real world buildings, but in this part of the world surrounded by wilderness, those column columns looked like giant fangs standing on the earth. There are three pillars that sting heaven. The two stand sharply, the other one decaying like it broke along the way.

Those columns seemed to be made of metal.

Nevertheless, after melting and strangely biological rounding, it gave the impression of a forgotten artifact rather than the chilling sharpness of the metal because of how many years it was reddish and mossy.

Aside from its size, the most similar would have been the fat iron spear thrust into the battlefield and forgotten.

its base. At height, there were two black shadows on the rubble that collapsed on the iron pole, about ten meters above the ground.

The tall shadow had a black darkness underfoot.

Its black marsh is constantly changing its appearance, sometimes causing mucous blisters to bounce. The long shadow, hidden in a hood, stands on a coltar-like marsh.

The taller one, she was a back-length girl like a child.

This little blonde daughter, with her partner, is pointing her neat appearance at the battle under her eyes.

At the end of that gaze, a group of "Adventurers" were driving away the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" gathered in the ruins.

The girl stared at the condition not just the wind she was interested in.

Is it unconscious to finger the tip of your forehead? The girl stiffened herself to a flirty, impractical outfit reminded me of some noble lady. But the expression is heterogeneous everywhere, and there is an atmosphere that does not make her gender, undoubtedly female in appearance, assert herself as a girl.

The tall figure pointed to a group of slowly but steadily attacking (adventurers). Even its boned fingers peeking from a robe that hides its entire body softly were covered in black mucous membranes, and darkness resembling unclean sludge fell into the swamp beneath its feet.

――

Signs of something issuing an order. The signs were accompanied by air bubbles rising from under the feet of a long shadow. Each one shrugged "Yuke" as if the sound of Gobogobo and rising methane gas were coincidental and followed to imitate the humanities.

A gust of wind swept up behind them.

The black dragon of the corpse, which stood idle to protect the ruins at the base of the iron column, rose easily with only one blow of its wings, becoming a black tent that blocked Aolsoy's bright sunlight.

Blackdragon turns to the group of the Adventurers, while even the torn and drooping skin membrane becomes a symbol of fear.

"You're behaving in a big way."

"Gouri Tequina Handanda"

A long shadow answers the girl's inorganic inquiry. But the voice is the murmur of dirty sludge bubbles beneath your feet. The bursting sound of sticky air bubbles that should be bouncing by chance sounds like words when you reach your ear.

The conversation manipulated by this long-sleeved man is apparently brought about by that strange phenomenon.

The girl often squeezes her mouth.

Absolutely lacking in motion, but that short time was the time she took to think.

"Yeah, well, maybe that's more certain."

"Ikutsuda"

"To that black dragon..."

That's where the girl had her first thin laugh.

"I let a thousand and two hundred souls lean against me. In exchange for you taking a thousand and two hundred princes."

"Lasphere."

"What?

The girl, called Lasphere, in a puppeted motion, only looks back at her neck. In the hood stuffed with drooling hedrons at the end of that gaze, it swung with bubbles, bumps, and bubbles.

"Ikutsuda"

"Right."

The girl shrugs her mouth about what intent she read on the exact same question as earlier. That would generally be categorized as a "laugh" look, but it was a masked, timeless creation that didn't make you feel familiar at all.

"Two thousand more to pull over."

"Nisenka"

A long-sleeved man suddenly slimmed.

As the wind blows through, its appearance at first glance seems unchanged, but the mucus darkness that flows out of the man's foot runs like a shadow over the rubble. The flow was beyond the gradient, beyond the ruins and outside the sight of the two, slaughtering the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost".

"You can't lose a black dragon. Without it, we can't break this tower."

"Chikaranaki Moderni - Civara Retaconominovben"

The black dragon crossed the end of their gaze and descended right over the head of the Adventurer. From the two positions, the movement looks smooth and slow, but considering the size and distance, it is predictable how overwhelming the speed and weight it has.

The black dragon's puked pitch-black electric shock, as well as the tail to be struck, was seen to involve many "adventurers".

"This is this"

The girl laughs sarcastically.

The noticeable and clear beauty of the nose, delivered in an ovoid contour, is as neat as a biscuit doll. In the classic appearance, only the amethyst-colored cloudy eyes seem to be intrigued by the events in front of them with a faint and strong glow.

"Also...... Heh heh. You bounced thirty-two sooner."

"Lasphere."

The black shadow of the reduced volume robe still beckons the other girl with the sound of bubbles. It was creepy enough to even be able to see the "look on the voice" in the bursting sound that should be just noise as I kept listening.

"Don't worry - I've taken you on the road with me." Drunk by the given power. You'll pay for ignorance. "

"Solehawarella moonajikoto"

What didn't I like about the sound of bubbles being able to play bumps? The girl invites her eyes to narrow and hold the air when she switches to comments with a method that rings one shoe that looks enamelous.

At her white, sneaky fingertips, the black dragon was rampant and insane, separating far distances and being manipulated by it.

If there was one with telescopic abilities, a dragon hosting the soul of the "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" would have followed its instincts and gone wild, and its brutality would have been seen devouring the "Adventurer" in the open.

Originally, this dragon is an eighty-five level full-raid monster that is not huge or belongs to a foe in this vast Aorthoy. That is, it indicates that if there are twenty-four Adventurers of about eighty levels, it is possible to defeat them. It's a monster that can be dealt with well enough if it's an Easy Wave Wolf Cavalry.

But due to inexplicable technology, Black Dragon is now falsely immortal.

Of course, that doesn't mean the decisive defeat of the Adventurers. To tell the extreme story, even if the "Raku Wolf Cavalry" has been wiped out, it will only have to be forcibly transferred to its home base.

It now appears that the Black Dragon unilaterally blames the "Adventurer" for its immortality, but it also appears that it has gradually established a response to the attack.

However, it must still have been significant to reduce the number of Adventurers by more than a dozen in the first ambush. The pressure of the countless "Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts" that fill the earth and the repeated raids from the sky of the Black Dragon thunder seem to clash with the defensive lines of the "Adventurer".

The Black Dragon, which renders every attack meaningless with a disposable life and strikes out a powerful attack that matches each other, surely reduces the number of Adventurers.

Things were presenting a look at the war of attrition.

But the two don't give new directives to that war situation, they just keep observing it cold.

"For nothing."

"layanolica igagente techino youdana"

"Give them the fate of the inferior"

"Nemre by Coimo Ottozurel Mono"

Difficult to understand the sound of the wind, the conversation goes to the girl's unsuitable laugh.

"Heh heh. I wonder if this is a pleasure."

A delightful color floats in the cloudy amethyst's eyes.

The girl's floating face that just distorted her expression. That's my first laugh. But that was such a distorted ugly smile. Just having a neat and adorable look, you can see a sizzling malice.

It seems human from anywhere,

But an obvious out-of-the-box laugh than seeing fire.

"avatarno communicationa linidine kakugashin shoksaretail tomiel"

"- Right. That's what self-diagnosis looks like."

"Psyche sultameni hafyo"

"But"

The girl, who was blamed for the laugh, still leaks a curly laugh in the back of her throat. The sound, such as the tone bottom sound, had exactly the same properties as the sound when the bubbles used by the shadow of the long lean body could be played. In other words, it is an expression of alien emotions.

"Our role is no longer on the verge of achievement. You can't leave a corridor to heaven. It's a pleasure to wear an unconscious actor."

"Warelamo onazi mono nanoda"

"That's why. - Eleven hours for the rest. Our time is up and HORA OCTAVA is coming. Kuck. Heh heh heh. Oh, delightful. - Come on, come on. Hurry, hurry. I can't wait. I can't stand it. this life that we are only rank 2. I want it to end. I want to end. I want to die. I killed him."

A girl flirting with a gothic dress in the high wind, as if she was impressed. The neck muscle has a nagging Zhu line.

The neck, separated by that line thinner than the yarn, increases its thickness slightly with the movement of the body dancing. That 'line' that anxiously disturbed the beholder was shaking her head like an out of tune tickle over its neck.

"I can't stop. I can't wait. Come on, come on. Beg, beg. Hora octava! Trihorium! My countrymen, my half-sisters. - Come, wake up, end, start."

At the altar of pointy fangs raised by a vain eyed dog-headed ghost, the girl kept turning. Like a mad piano of harmony, a clear but ugly laugh echoes the ruins of the "Column Ruins Tone's Grave" as a snuggle.

This land, called Baikonur on earth, seemed to have changed its master to a nightmare.

◆ 20

"All destroyed!?

It was at dusk that Leonardo and the rest of the line received the news.

Chun Cui (Chunlu), the "Therapeutic Cleric" (Cleric) of the "Raku Wolf Cavalry", conveyed a message from his companions.

"Unfortunately, our 100-man unit (Legion Reid) has been wiped out. - Looks like the rest of the unit left the area."

"What are the remaining troops?

"This is the unit that was leaving reserve strength as backup personnel. Even so, there are dozens of troops. That's virtually total annihilation. - I didn't know this was gonna happen."

The voice of Chun Cui answering Elias's question was dark but not hopeless.

Originally, the Adventurer was confirmed to have no death.

According to Chun Cui's story, the [Raku Wolf Cavalry] has also established its current home base on the basis of the presence of the Temple. Although it was completely destroyed, members who fell and were unable to resuscitate locally were returning to the temple.

By total annihilation, the guild itself has not become irreversible.

"Elder Tail" was originally a game.

Its content is to carry out swords and magical adventures here in the Cerdesian world. Of course, production, exchange, etc. are also major pleasures of the game, but it is also true that the majority are occupied by the act of fighting.

But there are also various scales of that combat act.

First, fight monsters as one (adventurer), solo play.

And as the next stage, up to six people fight together, party play.

These two types of battles make up most of the battle for "Elder Tail" as a game. There are no exact statistics, but Leonardo's feeling is that about 80% of them can be played by these two people.

And it was a massive battle that players who had done enough of these game content would challenge.

In other words, it is content for full raid that gathers and plays with twenty-four members, and content for legion raid that gathers and plays with ninety-six members. Such content for large numbers was recognized as a high-end way to play in "Elder Tail".

Naturally, the difficulty is high, and it's not uncommon to just attack one dungeon, if it takes nearly six months.

This time the target was "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" (Knoll), so due to my level difference, everyone expected an early attack. But if you consider it a massive battle, the result of total annihilation is not unusual. Even elite, top-notch guilds have difficulty breaking through high-difficulty large-scale combat at first sight.

I guess it's because of the look on Chun Cui's face that there are no signs of despair, even if there are surprises or disappointments.

I'm curious...

"Again, they confirmed the double notation phenomenon of status"

"Right."

Chun Cui nods at Leonardo's confirmation.

"I knew it..."

"That phenomenon is spreading."

Including Kanami shrugging his shoulders, Coppelia not changing his expression, and Difficult Face Elias, Leonardo and the others have no acquaintance with the headquarters of Raku Wolf Cavalry. Because I can't read any more than I haven't registered a friend, the report will really go through Chun Cui.

"That number is also high, and in the second half of the battle, they confirmed it to almost all enemies..."

I'm interested in what kind of phenomenon it is. I'd also like to try to solve the mystery of Shiso, but Leonardo held back that curiosity, which is not a convincing hypothesis or means.

The total number of opponents, he said, approached 10,000.

The story of Chun Cui says that he defeated a significant number of "Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts", but during the battle, an unidentified Black Dragon (Black Dragon) also appeared. The black dragon was cut off and the "Raku Wolf Cavalry" was crushed.

There's nothing the Leonards can do but six (adventurers). It will be easy to gather further information from the home of the Raku Wolf Cavalry if possible, going east for the first time.

That was how Kanami and Elias were convinced.

That night.

I woke up. Leonardo got out of his sleeping bag.

The Leonards are sleepless during this journey. It's not just an adventurer line. It is also a journey accompanied by the merchant Juuha. It was a decision that we should proceed with a lot of vigilance.

The sleepless number is alternating, but I had company who kept secretly savotage on that alternating system. Sabotage doesn't mean avoiding the sleepless number itself. Instead, they deliberately forget to change their sleeping numbers.

That was Coppelia.

Leonardo sits next to it, yawning.

On a dry, brittle sandstone rock, Coppelia sits with the cushions she bought in that village. A brilliant embroidered prick peeks under the hem of the maid's clothes.

"Good morning, sus. Do you want a cure?

"It's only midnight, though. Well, you didn't wake me up, did you?

"Coppelia still needs to get some sleep, Amasen. You can remain alert."

I guess that's right.

Adventurers' physical abilities also allow for shorter sleep. Strong and resilient, this body doesn't seem to slow down if you get three hours of sleep a day.

Nevertheless, sleeping alone is a different story than that. We're friends. I want to travel fairly.

"I'll keep an eye on you, too," Leonardo muttered as he pressed against her.

The surroundings are sinking into darkness.

It's because I haven't even had a bonfire tonight.

Fireworks help avoid animals, but they are not unlikely to attract intelligent monsters either. Also, considering the loss of vision when the lights suddenly go out, I can't even say it's just a benefit.

But it's not like there's no light. The moon floating in the clear Aorsoi sky was throwing its white glow upon the earth. Too much light to catch a glimpse of the side of Coppelia sitting next to him.

"That's quiet."

"Signs of hostile monsters around you are Ashima Sen"

Leonardo nods at Coppelia's answer. According to a call from Chun Cui, "Grey Spotted Dog Ghost" then activated his activities. The distance should be far enough away, but it was thought that I would never have gone beyond caution.

The light of the moon illuminated Leonardo and Coppelia.

From the softness of the illuminated smooth cheek-line, Leonardo distracted his gaze and dropped it on the earth.

Instead of having a conversation as it were, the two of them stood still.

At the end of Leonardo's gaze, the moonshadows move slightly as they crawl through the earth, blackened.

That felt strange. Shadows move. That's all, Leonardo noticed himself remembering a strange emotion.

If you think about it in real world style, that's because the moon moves, that is, because of the rotation of the earth. Game Worldwide, would you say that light sources in the texture of the sky are moving?

Either way, the phenomenon of the movement of the moonshadow falling on a rough earth is the flow itself when it is visualized. Leonardo felt the natural wonder that time went by.

An unspoken, quiet touch to the presence of an individual named himself in the course of time.

Immediately it moved to the girl beside it. It is strange that I am with Coppelia under this Aolsoy night sky. That wouldn't have happened without the Catastrophe. Leonardo is a New York gig. "Catastrophe" has changed everything. All sorts of things happened. That was apparently true even in the sense of destiny.

"Lend this cape, Mass."

When I noticed, Coppelia was offering a quilt-like fabric. The cloak-like fabric filled with embroidery of grapes, smears and unknown flowers seemed warm.

The wilderness before dawn is cold. Coppelia must have distracted me.

"This is also in the village of Sequek?

"Yes. I got it."

Coppelia takes a similar cloth from the Magic Bag and wraps it around her little shoulder.

"Those people, they gave me this"

Leonardo stayed seated and grabbed a nearby pebble and threw it away. Coppelia had also healed sick and injured people in the village, and it would be natural to be appreciated. That's not a problem. I don't have a problem, but I'm also a little angry.

(He said I was dealing with those kinda kids... well, it's not like I didn't get anything)

Leonardo drops his forehead disappointed at the knee he holds.

Round and beautiful stones, weird cut ends of cloth, wood-knife-style shredded tree branches, and ready to eat bread. Carcasses of flickering bugs. A bullshit made of horse-tailed hair. All Leonardo gets is nothing.

"Coppelia's good."

"No, I'm talking about this cape, it's warm."

"Yes, s in folk art with excellent thermal insulation"

Leonardo sighs as he listens to his out of tune response.

But I didn't actually feel bad.

"In that village"

"Hmm?"

Leonardo was able to wait unhurriedly for Coppelia, who rarely started talking to him.

"The boy we met in that village, he's recovering, Sita."

"Yeah."

Dual representation of status. A boy who was becoming violent due to ill-bodied symptoms. He remains in the village of Sequek. With the ferocity settled, he was just a 'earthlings' boy. I have no power to cross the wilderness alone. I just decided to go home to my hometown village, and I'll have to be quite prepared. I'm just getting ready for that, and I'm almost saying that the possibility that my hometown village is safe.

If that strange phenomenon had happened to all of the boy's homeland, the villagers would have already fallen apart in chillies. It would seem too convenient for Leonardo to think that if he thought that symptom had been brought in from the outside like some kind of contagious disease or a curse, the haulier of the disaster would have done no harm to the village.

If those two possibilities were worrisome, where everyone in the boy's village remained a mediocre 'earthlings', for example, it is not unlikely that the boy himself had hurt the people of the village - his own compatriots, including his parents and old friends - by the boy's own transformation.

As he is, Leonardo believes that living as a member of the village of Sequek is the happiest future.

"The boy was... orange and green"

"What?"

Leonardo, who was thinking about the boy's fate, could not weigh the meaning of Coppelia's strange words.

"The monster is a green light. (The earth man) is an orange light. It looks that way to Coppelia. The Adventurer is a blue light, and Mr. Elias is a purple su"

"It's..."

"Coppelia thinks it's the color of his soul."

Leonardo rounds his eyes to the abrupt remarks.

"Coppelia is not equipped with vision in the general usage of words"

It is not necessary for Leonardo to listen back, and Coppelia's words continue. The content was something Leonardo didn't even anticipate.

"Sight? Huh?

"Coppelia is blind. - Precisely, Coppelia's vision is incompatible with yours. Coppelia recognises her surroundings with data streams and tags, and shades of soul"

It was a story that didn't even clap.

But at the same time, I couldn't deny it.

If this world is vegetating games, there should have been quite a few tags in the data chunks that are part of that object.

The status of Adventurer is easy to understand.

Even in Leonardo, if we concentrate our consciousness on Coppelia, our names, professions and levels appear overlapping our actual vision.

This name or level occupation is' Tag '.

Monsters have monsters. The "earthlings" include the "earthlings". I don't know why, but does Coppelia see that tag as a difference in color? I couldn't understand what a soul was, but what Coppelia said, if that's the case, comes with a one-off explanation.

(Maybe my eyesight...)

It was a while ago that a special device was developed for the visually impaired. Studies were reported about a decade ago that you can make video feel with sensors wired to your brain. I don't know Leonardo in detail, but I have heard that a device has now been developed that can make some colors and shapes recognisable.

Maybe Coppelia is the girl who used that kind of device to play "Elder Tail". Leonardo thought about it, but he couldn't put it out of his mouth.

Consider that Coppelia's distance from herself is not yet something she can mouth a private topic, and mock herself for being a coward's excuse soon after.

"Coppelia has no color. It does not mean that Coppelia is transparent, but indicates a lack of vibrators, or souls, emitting 'colour'. - One of the more unstable souls was lured away by my approach, which is structurally false, when the double (Parallel One) disappeared -"

◆ 21

"I'm sorry I'm being so rude on a date."

"KR (Kaire) Huh!?

A white horse stuck his nose out between them. In the voice of a summoner possessed by the phantom beast Shirazawa (Hakuta), the conversation between Leonardo and Coppelia was broken.

"What's wrong, su?

Leonardo rebukes his earlier words as he watches Coppelia ask calmly. What does "i.e. lack of soul" mean? Makes me feel like something stuck in the back of my throat.

Even when I told him that, there was no pain or pity in Coppelia's voice. That weighs Leonardo's chest.

"It's close. Grey Spotted Dog Ghost.

"What?"

But Leonardo's thoughts were cut off in an instant.

"Going down the northeast valley."

The back of KR, which answers with few words, is moist and wet. Coppelia asked, wiping her back with a cloth.

"Request a description of the situation"

"I've been scouting with my naked eye, this is it."

For example, has KR been running through the wilderness of Aolsoy all night? Come to think of it, when Leonardo woke up, I don't think there was a white, big figure of KR at the entrance to the tent anymore.

"They're going down the riverbed under a cut cliff. I don't know how many. This body is blind at night. It's impossible to confirm just the moonlight. But not ten or so many of them. At least five hundred will be there."

"Five hundred!?

"At least. They have a broken status."

"You're the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost, but you're the Grounders?

"No, I'm not."

KR's voice was calm and Leonardo was ashamed of his own words, which sounded a little frightened.

"It feels like there's a mixture of two types of" grey spotted dog ghosts, "uh. What is it? It's hard to explain. Anyway, it's like two monsters overlapping each other. Similar to that Earthlings boy, but a monster blends with each other."

I can imagine the phenomenon.

But the cause was still out of comprehension.

"The Grey Spotted Dog Ghost is in the mountains,"

Five hundred, is it?

When did you wake up? Probably woke up with signs of talking to KR. Kanami, who only stuck his neck out of the tent, and Elias, who looked down with a gaze to blame for it, have also participated in the conversation.

Not long after, Chun Cui (Chun Lu) and Ju Ha also come out of the tent.

"Except The Grey Spotted Dog Ghost?

"At least in my sight, it was just a subspecies of" Grey Spotted Dog Ghost "or" Grey Spotted Dog Ghost ", a difference in profession. I wish I could do more reconnaissance, but I can't even get my squire out of this body."

"Why..."

The question of Chun Cui was the best.

Why are we doing mass mobility at a time like this? That was Leonardo's first thought, too.

The first theory I can think of is that food is the cause.

No, I'd rather say that there's no reason other than food security and territorial claims, such as the behavior of the Gray Spotted Dog Ghost. Their purpose is to feed the "main unit of the group" gathered in the ruins where Cui's guild attacked - which seems to be the logical explanation.

The wilderness of Aolsoy is poor. The earth blows through cool winds even in dry summers. All over the vast wilderness, a large forest of dark greenery is spreading, and there is a wide variety of creatures there, but even that will not sustain 10,000 Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts for long periods of time.

In this wilderness, there is no reason to form a large legion that far. More than a dozen small populations are more efficient in order to get food and stay alive. That was self-evident given the number of hyenas and wolf populations in the real world.

In the meantime, the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost is supposed to be an organism that gathers in a dungeon and lives in hundreds of units. Leonardo exhorts himself to the knowledge of the game, a predatory creature that kills and eats creatures that lurk in caves, ruins, and so forth. This world is a game. It's supposed to be a game, but somehow I'm invited with an entity, and it does seem to exist with this worldly law.

"In the direction of progress would be the village of Sequek"

To Juuha's point, Elias was found breathing.

Food.

In that sense, the sheep in that village would be fascinating.

No, even the "earthlings" themselves could see them as food. It is never from good intentions that they have the habit of avoiding the 'earthlings', but because they know that if the 'earthlings' consign to defend their villages, it will be difficult to take away their prey, such as sheep.

Assuming they have enough troops to destroy the surrounding villages and cities, there is no reason to hesitate.

They're after the villages of the Earthlings.

"I don't know if I'm after him, but, well, if the street were him, it would strike. That number. I think it's hopeless to turn back."

KR answered with clarity to the distracting area.

Four days have already passed since Leonardo and the others left the village of Sequek. The distance would be roughly one hundred and forty kilometers, since it has slowly progressed with the [Earthlings] juuha.

It won't take a week for the Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts to reach Sequek as they move along the canyon.

Of course, if you care about it, you can return it to the village sooner than the Gray Spotted Dog Ghost. But get there, what can you do?

I guess that's what Chun Cui and Ju Ha think.

Wordless heavy air filled the area.

"Whoa, whoa. Whoa."

It was Kanami not reading such air at all. As she stuck her face out of the tent, she crawled straight out onto the surface. Why crawl? I think so, but she remains stuck in a sleeping bag. As he proceeded with that potato-like fit, he stood up cleverly. Shame on the boulder, Kanami lets Elias help him take off his sleeping bag with his thighs. No, if you're embarrassed, I wish you'd walk out of here from the beginning.

"Mm-hmm. That's good. Five hundred dogs and good luck."

I don't know what's good for me. It may be a Japanese custom, but in front of Leonardo, who wondered what a squad of Kanami would say, Kanami pokes his fist up into heaven.

"There's no shortage for them!!

"Hey, stop it, idiot"

"Bullshit!? Did I say stupid, Knock it off, Nardo!

"Oh, I'm sorry. Too much."

Leonardo puts a scratch on Kanami trying to set up a fight against 500 monsters with five hundred, and inexperienceable abilities. I apologized, but I mean the sentiment of being an idiot.

"But five hundred, right? It would be fun to go in there and kick some ass."

"I'll kick your ass."

"You can do it if you try."

"Is there a reason you can do this, blurry!

There is a level difference.

Perhaps the difference is more than ten.

The raison d 'être of the warrior position lies in attracting enemies. They defend their resilience and sorcery with their abilities, giving offensive positions like Leonardo a great chance to attack.

But if you attract an enemy, it makes sense to be the target of that attack. Instead of wearing armor-like armor, Kanami's profession (militant) boasts an overwhelming evasive performance. It would hardly even faint, such as an attack by a low-level "grey spotted dog ghost".

But it's 'mostly'.

Absolutely not.

In the meantime, if the number of enemies is enormous, you must also consider that MP will be depleted during battle. Without MP, stunt cannot be used. Though "militants" are also aggressive and well-balanced in their warrior positions, they are accomplished by arranging numerous stunts. If the MP is gone, the power will be greatly diminished.

(But hey. Could it be Kanami......)

With the ability to evade the militants and Kanami's ability to attack, maybe even 500 Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts can escape. Leonardo is trained with the goal of crossing Kanami. I have a sense of anticipation. But the risk was too great.

"Mostly."

Kanami took a rhythm with her nail tips as she snorted roughly as if to laugh at Leonardo's thoughts like that.

"Five hundred is a tummy time apple pie, right? Keronaldo."

"Correct me for once, but I'm not Nardo."

And I don't like women eating apple pie that muggly.

"If you're an Adventurer, destroy 500! Double it up even more."

"Don't make up adventurers."

And Kanami is forbidden to gamble. What's a double up?

"Keep piercing the enemy, uh, what is it? Isothermic animals?"

"S in" Column Ruins Tone's Grave ""

"Huh! That manages to penetrate Grave and give him the rank of enemy!!

"Ahoy! Over 10,000 opponents!!

Leonardo drops his shoulder disappointingly.

Even five hundred thought the win was thin, but what is this woman thinking? Weird, I thought it was weird, but it was totally crazy.

"You weren't listening. The Hundred Troops (Legion Reid) of Raku Wolf Cavalry have been wiped out. Look, a hundred adventurers of ninety levels have all perished!?

"That's because we fought from the front. No information."

"Nah..."

"That's why we don't fight. Attack me, I'll give you the rank. Let's get out of here. Perfect game! Uh-oh, pimp!

"Buh."

Aren't you an idiot, this woman?

What's "champign"? Your brain is the world champion of idiots.

- I guess 10,000 "Grey Spotted Dog Ghosts" are protecting the ruins to keep them from doing that. It would have been an attack by a massive battle because it couldn't be done. Leonardo thinks so, but all he could do was let Kanami's attitude, which was too blatant, puff his mouth.

"So, Kanami"

"Hmm? What? KR"

He said it was information.

"You heard a lot from Chun Cui."

"Hmm. So, what kind of information is that? And with that, the Grey Spotted Dog Ghost boss. - I hope he's here, but you're gonna take him down?

"That's what KR thinks."

Kanami ran out of words with such a glorious grin that he thought the dawn would have come on Aolsoy night.

――

"There's no way I can do that! Asshole."

Instead of KR, who lost his word for a moment, Leonardo slaps a strong word. Then KR is too pathetic. KR laughed cleverly bending his horse's head creeping him out of sight. "Bu, bus guide. So, a bus gas explosion..." etc. It was creepy.

"Hmm. I don't know if I can or can't."

"Well, whatever."

"I need to go."

"That's why I need it."

To Leonardo's pursuit, Kanami smiled small as she gently stepped with her toes. That wasn't like teasing Leonardo, it was a soft grin.

"Don't say it with your mouth, it's a bad reason."

So Leonardo couldn't go on with the words.

You think it's a matter of this party. Both Chun Cui and Ju Ha, I keep an eye on them, but they don't come to speak out. I don't feel like it. Leonardo, who also wanted Elias and Coppelia to take Kanami away, would be betrayed.

"I agree with Kanami."

"-"

"Nothing, I'm not talking about traveling to the dead because Kanami owes me anything. As you may have forgotten, I am an ancient species. I have a duty to protect the Earthlings. That's the mission that we've been given since the founding of the Thirteenth Knights of All Kingdoms. - Even if it's cliché, I feel the true significance to it. Hanging in the pride of the doomed fairies, I will not abandon the Earthlings."

Speaking of which, Leonardo recalls that he was.

I totally forgot because I've been on a recent journey as a companion, but Elias is an Ancient Species (NPC). I'm not an Adventurer. It looks emotional, but it's similar to a high-performance robot.

That's with the Earthlings.

They are only the "Earthlings" (NPCs).

That's why I only act so stupid.

"I'm going to Coppelia too"

"Why..."

The third was Coppelia.

She packs her luggage in a weight reduction bag as she moves her thin arm.

Leonardo grabbed Coppelia's wrist because the trick was unconvincing. Kanami and Elias have no choice. But Coppelia serving Kanami like a maid would be different. That gave Leonardo a terribly uncomfortable and painful feeling.

"Why not? There's no way you can win."

"I guess so, Ca."

"Think about it! Why would you do that for NPC!

"I think Coppelia has a chance. Coppelia has named this phenomenon" Parallel One ". That condition is probably extremely unstable and su. If the missing soul (Rubi: Coppelia) approaches, it destroys itself and duplicates it, it kills Coppelia. Coppelia's protective equipment has anti-psychic defense properties, so it's presumed to be an effective countermeasure against double players."

"Because that logic is right, it doesn't mean the number of opponents is going down! You don't have to sacrifice Coppelia. Ugh."

Coppelia rocked her deep blue hair to Leonardo's denial.

Leonardo is shown in big eyes like polished mirrors.

With that innocent gaze poured on Leonardo, Coppelia told him.

"Coppelia is also not a player. One of the MMO in-house fund collection bots set up by the China-based fund laundering group is Coppelia."
