We decided on a policy at the meeting, so I started to act on it. First of all, I cut down the trees. For some reason, Yugu-san sees it nearby and gets impatient.
''Whoa! I can''t lose this one!
They''re cutting down trees faster than I am. That''s what''s different about my day job.
After I finish cutting down the trees, I summon Aranea. I get the thread out and offer it to Yug and the others. At first I was using hard thread, but it turns out that the tree''s durability value decreases, so I use soft thread.
Logged out here. We decided to make the raft tomorrow morning. I don''t think it will be stolen, but just in case.
Then in the morning of the fourth day of the event, I did some production work and finished the raft with Setia. Hugues and the others are making a lot of it too. It''s time to earn some points, you know.
Then the rafts are finished and we test drive them. Why would I do that?
"It''s safe to fall into the lake!
They all told me that. That''s true, but I think this is a terrible reason.
And the ride, it''s pretty good. The soft thread I was worried about is not a problem. I''ve got Aeon and the others escorting me around, but I''m not sure it''s going to be a problem.
When I came back from my trial run, Ruin and the others were there.
''Good morning,''
Morning, darling. Good morning. Thank you for the test run. Looks all right, doesn''t it?
They''re all clear for now. There have been no enemy attacks.
Yeah, but let''s be careful. But let''s be on our guard. It seems the attack on the other side was a disaster.
Apparently, according to the board, he tried Berserk King Kong twice in 3 Legions, twice each, for a total of 6 times and was wiped out. That shows how strong Berserk King Kong is.
''''It looks like it didn''t work at all. All I''ve learned is that the first skill or martial arts technique they use is either an evil one or an evil one.
Heh. I''m curious.
What''s it about?
It''s like a skill that forces you to do everything once in close quarters.
...for Berserk King Kong?
''''Yes... the rearguard position was wiped out in close quarters with their magic skills blocked. The warrior positions were also wiped out when their shield defense and evasion were blocked.
d*mn... how do I get through this?
Salvation apparently has time to activate it, but they say it''s too far away to interfere.
Have you tried paralysis?
Yeah. They''ve tried everything, but the resist seems to have been neutralized.
No, so... what would I do? If it''s a martial art, I could use a rune art... but given the time we have, the skill line is more likely to be the one we''re looking for. So we''ll have to take them by surprise.
"Is there anything we can do?
I won''t know until I try it... but I''m ape-phobic and I still don''t want to fight.
They all fought in close quarters, which means they were most likely body-pressed... and twice... and I pray for the peace of mind of Kego and the others.
''Normally I would go hunting for points, but I''m not good at enemies and not going to fight, which is typical of you, Tact.
Well, normally I would go to get the points. But we''ve been told not to come, so let''s give priority to the floating island now.
Everyone is ready to go and we leave for Floating Island.
I suddenly wondered if I should have the raft pulled by Chess, and it was comfortable. If it''s a speed race, it''s a crushing victory.
However, I''m also an escort, so I shouldn''t get carried away.
But there was no need for an escort... on the contrary, it made me more suspicious.
We all arrived at the floating island and began to search. My members are Lily, Aeon, Setia, Love Fire and Grey. The first feeling of discomfort was when we landed.
''''Hmm?''''
What''s wrong? Mr. Takuto?
No. Doesn''t the ground feel right to you?
They all check.
''It''s definitely hard...''
''Huh? I can''t lift the dirt here!
Yuna says so, and Roku challenges him.
''''Ochaaah! Duh! No...what the hell is this?
I''ve never heard of soil that can''t be lifted.
But the forest is normal... a normal forest even though the ground is weird... it''s full of weirdness... and it''s right.
We find a giant metal door. It''s a bit exciting.
All the players try to touch it, but it doesn''t respond. Pushing and pulling is impossible. After a discussion, we put a spell in it. Then there was a reaction! Oh!
Enemy presence detected. Rank D and begin fighting back.
Then the magic circle unfolded and a giant robot appeared. Seriously~!
It''s a robot!
Male players rejoice. And me, of course! Oh no! I want a ride!
But the next moment, a laser from the robot''s eyes. The male player''s face melted... apparently angry.
''I''m sorry.''
Everyone present apologized, but they weren''t in the mood to forgive me. Apparently it''s like forced combat with everyone.
''''Anyway, rearguard, attack with magic! The vanguard, close combat!
Copy that.
Mr. Lewin gives instructions. The players follow it. He''s a complete commander.
''Mr. Tact, what should we do?''
Luke asks. ''I''m in charge of this one? But I don''t know how strong they are.
"We''ll just have to attack. We''ll take care of the Lobo first. We''ll take care of the Lobo first. If we freeze, we''ll be on target.
I understand!
But good luck!
Then let''s go!
"Summon the Legion!
I''ll summon everyone. I mount the liqueur. Luna dances and everyone gets buffed. Let''s do it!
First, Black Iron confronts him. He tries to land a punch, but Lobo''s eyes light up and he hits Black Iron. The laser goes through Black Iron and Black Iron is knocked down. Black Iron strikes a blow at Black Iron!
But I bought myself some time! Setia and other magic-using summons, tame monsters and magic-using players attack Lobo in unison. But the magic is nullified by an invisible wall around Lobo.
Wait a minute! The barrier is a foul!
This rendered all wizards useless. But not yet!
Wow!
Gray unleashes a shockwave from a roar, but the barrier doesn''t budge. So the skills are no good... then I guess I''ll just have to fight melee!
Aeon and the others, fast-footed summons and tame monsters, set up a close battle.
Then the robots extend their arms and the lower part of their arms glow in numerous ways. Oh no!
Get out of here! Orphan! It''s a sorcery!
Averted! Guys!
''You can''t stop! Run for a distraction!
They all take evasive action, and I get the lone child to use his illusions, but it doesn''t seem to work on the robots. My members are Toratetsu and Chess protect Lily and Love Fire and get burned by the lasers. Puyosuke, who was attached to Chess, also tried to transform and protect him, but it was no use. Those guys...I witnessed your bravery!
Then Lily, Aeon, Love Fire, Gale, Byakuya, Yuu Fang, Sabik, Airy, Soroko, and Seguro attacked Lobo.
''''Yaaaah!''''
But the barrier will keep them out! Oh, no.
What do we do now? There''s no point in sinking it into the bottomless swamp if it''s going to get hit by a beam.
As I think about it, a bolt of lightning shoots through Lobo''s entire body. Not good!
Everybody get away!
Gale, Byakuya and Yu Fang push Lily and the others away.
In the next moment, Gale and the others are hit by an electric shock.
''''Gale!
Byakuya... no.
Yuu Fang... for us...
The fighting spirit in the eyes of Lily and the others. The current blow had also charred Sabik and Seguro to black. d*mn!
Mr. Lewin says to me.
''There''s no doubt about it... this is a losing event.''
A losing event?
''I''m talking about an event where you''re bound to lose. That robot is too f*cked up.
Mel may be right about this event being a lost cause. You can''t use the return to try to retreat. You won''t be able to get away from Lobo with anything but a return. So what do we do then? The answer is obvious.
The tigers fought well. Then I''m the one who has to answer to them. Use your synchro skills.
Grey. "Grey, distract Lobo. I know you can do it.
GAW!
"Lily, Aeon, love fire. Come back. I have an idea.
Okay, okay!
Yes!
Gray has a better sense of danger. Gray would be the only one who could be asked to deal with Lobo.
''I''m an idiot, so I''m going to keep fighting.
You are serious, aren''t you?
Yes. I''d rather die fighting a robot than run away and die.
Rowsora-san, Luke, Center-san and Raiden-san agreed with this opinion.
''''That suggestion, I''m on board too. Takt.
Me too, sir.
You ran it wrong.
''If we put out a cheat robot, there''s no way we''re going to be beaten honestly, is there?
Then, one by one, the voices of approval came out.
''Of course. Because they''re robots.
You know how to fight a robot?
We''re Japanese.
Japanese boys love robots! If I can fight a robot to death, I want to!
You''re right! We are of one mind!
Men are so stupid.
''Yes. But if you can''t get away with it, I think you''ll have to fight, don''t you?
Well...
Ruin is talking to Mel and Mew, Yug and Lisa shout out to him.
''If you think only boys like robots, you''re wrong!
''Yes! Even girls have a love for robots!
Fight the robots!
Mr. Ruin and Mel are giggling.
''Let''s fight...''
I''m sure...
As a result, everyone participated. Honestly, it''s a relief.
I''d like to make a suggestion.
I tell them the plan I don''t know if I can do it.
''You think it''s great... can you do it?''
I don''t know. But I want to try.
I''m aware that I''m pretty reckless. But I think this is the only way to give it a shot.
Lily wants to do it too!
Me too, sir.
It''s just so refreshing.
I want to do it for the sake of the tigers.
When Lily and the others agree, everyone is motivated. So let''s start the mission, shall we?
I''m going to return Root to the summoning stone. Root is the trump card.
What I''m going to use is Aranea''s hard thread. I''ll have Aranea use the Entrust of the production workers to make a large amount of hard thread.
The long hard yarn is layered to make a long, hard rope. We''re ready.
I''m going to get on the Darley. I''ll lend Mr. Tristan some liqueur.
Tristan and I hold the hard thread, and Aeon and Koibei each hold it.
We both charge into Lobo''s one leg at the same time.
He changes Lobo''s aim from Gray to us.
''Konoha!''
Ho!
Konoha uses a feather thrower and the feathers rain down on Lobo. The barrier prevents it, but Lobo''s aim turns to Konoha.
''Kase! Konoha!
Ho!
Konoha folds his wings and swoops down to dodge the beam. While there, Hiyori and Himari attack Lobo. Lobo''s attention turns to Himari, who attacks later.
Swooping down, Konoha spreads his wings before hitting the ground and attacks Lobo''s barrier with his ice blade from low altitude and escapes into the sky.
We circle around Lobo''s one leg as Konoha and the others fight in tandem, and we break away from the scene.
Lobo tries to get at us, but Grey attacks again and takes care of him.
My plan is simple. I want to pull one of Lobo''s legs by a string and try to sneak it in. That''s all I want to do.
I think it''s absurd. But Lily and the others'' swords could touch the barrier. Then it''s possible. Fortunately, there are still a lot of summons and tamer monsters here. Then there''s no chance of that happening.
Lobo ignored the rope wrapped around one leg.
We''re back to the players and we''re ready to go!
"Summon the Legion!
The summoners who can summon Legions summon all of their summons at once.
''''Draw~!
They all tugged on the rope and one of Lobo''s legs floated slightly!
I did it!
I got it! Wow! I honestly didn''t think I could do it! But it''s all here and it''s ours!
Come on! Root! Pay off your floating feet!
Shhh!
As the summoned root dispels one leg that floats slightly, the robot loses its balance completely and falls!
"Yes!
''Yes!''
Players cheered. But...
''Hostile presence rating redetermined. Rank C to intercept.
Armament is added to the robot. Then the thrusters blow out of his back and he gets up.
Then both shoulder hatches open and numerous missiles are released.
Yup. It''s all over... but not a shred of regret. I''m going to bring them back. They don''t have to die too.
Everyone else will do the same.
And we all came back to die with a missile.
I''m honored to think that this game''s first return to death was a missile attack by an angry robot.
