Episode 279. (3) Inazuma
starting from zero .
Tomoyo, now a guild member of the Great Alliance, held his staff firmly.
Now that we have entered the cave that looked like a rat hole and set up a base camp.
There was nowhere else to retreat.
“Whoa—”
I take a deep breath and try to calm myself down.
Except for Captain Hisagi and Captain Lee Ho-yeol…
the expressions of the other guild members were no different from his own.
A whopping level 850 is an appropriate level.
“It won’t be easy as always. Right, Tomo?”
“Haha…”
Tomoyo just laughed at the man’s words.
I don’t even have the spirit to exchange jokes.
Tomoyo’s class is [Battle Mage]. Due to the nature of the Mage-type class, which requires melee combat, Tomoyo felt a lot of pressure.
“Are you okay?”
“yes?”
“You don’t have to push yourself too hard.”
Another name for Battle Mage?
A typical example is the cheonmin character, which has the exact opposite meaning of the aristocratic character.
Compared to being treated as a lowly citizen, the nickname “glass cannon” is not good.
Most of all, it was an acceptable nickname.
The man continues.
“Can I be honest with you? Battle mage’s attack power? not worth it It’s because you can accurately hit magic-type skills that are second to none in terms of destructive power at close range. But think of the level gap.”
Tomoyo’s level is 475.
It’s called Tomoyo, who boasts outstanding offensive power at the same level.
Can you give effective hits to giant rats that are well over level 800?
Can I access it before then?
“Even if you hit the skill with authenticity, you won’t be able to do much damage. And vice versa? How many times do you think you can withstand an attack calmly?”
Tomoyo looked at his equipment at the question that hit the point. The cloth armor for wizards to supplement the [Magic] stat and [Magical Regeneration] was thin.
“well. Twice if you’re lucky…?”
As the man said, a fatal injury at the moment of brushing.
Maybe it wouldn’t be strange if I closed my eyes right after the first hit.
Tomoyo said shyly.
“I will keep your advice in mind.”
That’s what I said, but I know.
this moment.
in this place.
There was no one who did not risk his life.
“If only I could wear new gear.”
“Ugh, craftsmen don’t blame their equipment.”
“It’s not an excuse?!”
There will be no one without circumstances.
It is a battlefield where such people go back to back for each other.
I had no intention of backing down, even to avoid harming others.
‘Because it’s the path I chose in the end.’
Have you ever regretted your class choice?
‘Really honest…’
Every time I entered the crack and faced the monster, I regretted it. I blamed myself every day for not being good at close combat, but looking back, I just came to where I am now.
Some people talk like a man.
“I think I’ve done well enough so far, Tomoyo. Reaching that level with a class called Battle Mage? I sincerely respect you. It’s a great talent.”
Tomoyo didn’t answer.
It’s because of your great talent.
If you admit it, it’s like denying your own hard work.
“Actually, if Battle Mage wasn’t just a class. Tomoyo, you are about now…”
At the same time, it was denying his own choice.
Kkuk—
whenever that happened, Tomoyo held on to the staff.
Even though I regret it.
I moved forward so as not to regret it.
however.
“Damn it…!!”
For the first time, it seemed that stubbornness would break.
[Guardian rats guarding the sanctuary: Lv. 800]
Rats three to four times the size of humans are coming from all directions.
A whopping 800 levels.
Even if you call it a normal monster.
How many people would have to stick together to kill just one?
It was not even measured.
thick hair.
Leather as thick as its size.
The moment we face each other, doubt arises.
Would a monster like that flinch at my skill?
In the midst of the confusion, a voice was heard.
“One point breakthrough!”
Captain Hisagi’s order.
It was melee-type players who carried out the one-point breakthrough order.
You have to draw aggro from the vanguard and open a way through him.
‘…I have to catch up.’
It was the moment when Tomoyo was about to step out.
Chuck –
The man shook his head as he grabbed Tomoyo’s wrist.
“Dangerous.”
“I know. But…”
“You are special, Tomoyo.”
special?
That’s not wrong.
Thanks to the rare class of Battle Mage, Tomoyo is in the front and back rows.
Because I was able to play my role freely depending on the situation.
“Think calmly.”
Being able to act according to one’s own judgment rather than orders.
‘I’m calm enough even if I don’t say it.’
Battle Mage is an ambiguous class.
To put it mildly, special treatment.
It was because I was treated with ambiguous treatment in the front and back rows.
Because of that, no matter what choice I make, I have no choice but to regret it.’
‘then.’
Even if it’s unfair, I won’t break my stubbornness.
“In the back row with me…”
“Thank you, but I will decline.”
“…what?”
“I’m already used to having regrets.”
Tomoyo jumped out in front row.
Even at the moment of running, my hands are shaking.
As always, my head is full of regrets.
But I didn’t want to admit it.
If you succumb to a cataclysm and deny even your past choices.
There was nothing left of life before the cataclysm.
Some would say it’s reckless stubbornness.
“We will pave the way together, Captain Hisagi.”
“Welcome to Hell, Tomoyo.”
“…Your tone has changed?”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“…Is this a compliment?”
but at the same time.
Knowing the sorrows of the poor class.
Another ‘someone’ will say.
That is the pride that deserves to be answered.
be the answer
Where in the world is there an existence that can respond to human desperate struggles? I wonder if it is not God who can notice and respond to that. It’s a good word to hear sarcasm.
That’s right.
“…what?”
Because Tomoyo was looking at God.
The pledge of the former job that passed through my head.
It reminds me of a phrase that I recited without much thought.
──────
There is no place on the Arcana Continent where the gaze of the goddess does not reach. Even if that place is in a rat’s den, even if it is hell, the goddess will not turn away those who earnestly seek it.
──────
I opened my mouth wondering if it was a dream.
“…Captain Hisagi, are you watching?”
Nodding—
Hisagi nodded.
I still can’t believe it, so I ask again.
“Isn’t it just that I’m staring at nothing because I’m suffering from extreme stress?”
Nodding——
Hisagi nodded in succession before admitting it. that your eyes are not wrong. Tomoyo looked at the gigantic goddess appearing in the air in a state of fascination.
Squeak Squeak!
It’s so big that even giant rats are baffled.
Because of that, it is not possible to identify the face or detailed form.
But I felt it even without checking.
warmth.
Its energy looks down on everyone on the Arcana continent.
It was so mild that only a goddess could not emit it.
omnipotent at the same time.
Is there any proof that is stronger than words?
Because that wasn’t the end.
A message pops up before your eyes.
[The blessings of the first World Tree fill the entire area.]
[Life regeneration rate increases significantly.]
[Magical regeneration rate increases significantly.]
The word ‘vast’ in the arcana system means a lot.
That’s enough to put a look of astonishment on players’ faces.
“Suddenly, what kind of buff is this?”
“Nonsense… It’s more effective than an intermediate potion, isn’t it?!”
“Captain Hisagi! With a buff like this…!!”
Hisagi nodded.
“I will withdraw the order to break through one point. Everyone from now on.”
“…!”
“We start each battle.”
A whopping 800 levels.
It was said that the effect was such that even if a melee battle with a group of monsters was possible, there was a chance of winning.
The basis for such a judgment was clear.
“Until the goddess looks down on us!”
Did you say [Blessing of the first World Tree]?
The effect of the fraudulent buff will last until the goddess disappears.
Is it because of the warmth?
Tomoyo’s limbs no longer trembled.
Instead, I wondered.
‘Could it be right now…?’
In fact, this is not the first time I have faced adversity.
But why did the goddess appear at this moment?
It didn’t take long to come to a conclusion.
Only one thing has changed.
“…no way.”
commander-in-chief.
Because there was only the existence of Ho-yeol.
Tomoyo’s gaze turned to Hoyeol.
It’s not a look of surprise or bewilderment.
Even in front of the figure of a great goddess, she was not intimidated in the slightest.
just the same look.
Tomoyo swallowed in surprise.
…Are you really related to the Goddess?!
*
Why did you declare that you would return to the beginning?
Hiel, I dare you to come forward.
Wouldn’t it be necessary to follow my original intention?
‘…say something.’
in my honest opinion.
I don’t think it’s a strange reaction for players to mistake Hiel for a goddess. Even when he was a small spirit, he was a high-el who was misunderstood as the spirit king because of his draped clothes.
‘Why is the halo so bright?’
It’s not enough to have a huge body, so it’s self-luminous.
I couldn’t help but look holy.
Even the graceful action of taking out Grandfel with the climax.
‘…Yes, what can I say.’
Parents are mirrors of their children.
I have no choice but to say it’s all my fault and pass it on.
Only then did Hiel’s voice ring in my head.
-“It is disrespectful to dare to look down on your lord. If harm does not go to my lord… I feel like I want to raise my voice right away and send a formal greeting to my lord.”
Highel’s presence in the rat den was considerable.
‘I don’t know why it wasn’t affected.’
Maybe it’s because it’s an {inherent spirit} that has simply surpassed the contract spirit. If that’s not the case, did Highel become something that can’t be contained in a cave without me knowing?
I have no way of knowing.
“There is no need for that.”
It would be good if you refrain from making such an embarrassing greeting this time. Especially now that the great illusion of being a goddess has been overlaid on Hiel.
[The first world tree is full of blessings.]
Anyway, the buff performance is certain.
Starting with Hisagi.
The players of the Giant Alliance confronted the Giant Rat.
‘The effect is not guaranteed by me.’
It may not be as good as the original, but the life and magic regeneration buffs are more effective than drinking most potions. Thanks to this, you will be able to focus on fighting without having to worry about your life or injury.
“You can enlighten yourself.”
How to catch that damn fish.
The days when Arcana was just a game.
The reason why players were able to succeed in raid quests that were considered impossible is simple. Even if you die, you can be resurrected. I was able to take on the challenge without being afraid of death.
‘Even if not as much as then.’
The players were slowly but surely awakening.
“What if it’s level 800? The pattern is obvious!”
“Fatal wounds even if you pass by? Then it’s fine if it doesn’t fit.”
“Okay!”
As if I were a real commander-in-chief.
I was looking at you with satisfaction.
be the commander-in-chief
‘It’s an important position.’
But the source of the dark history.
In the yard where even the Cloudy family was recognized, what’s the point of being the commander-in-chief?
More than anything else that I had to take on.
I know better than anyone that I can’t do it casually.
So, as promised.
let’s make sure
urgent adjustment.
Shasha shak!
Unlike players who are focused on the battle right in front of them.
I had room.
It means that he was able to notice the changing air flow.
I opened my mouth in the direction I felt the presence of.
“I’m sorry.”
Judging from the momentum it emits, it seems to be a named monster that easily exceeds level 800. As I said, I can’t afford to treat you with sincerity even if you show up nicely.
“It must also be the role of the commander-in-chief to watch the growth of allies. So I can’t just let you go on a rampage, you frail beasts of the mountains.”
How weak are those monsters?
It’s a while to be startled by the Grandfell style of speech.
I raised my horsepower.
[Magic Power: 585]
Considering the proper level of the cave, it might be a meager figure.
However, me who entered the realm of [『Strangeness』] without even having 『Transcendence』.
Magic stats are just numbers, as Grandfel said.
I opened my mouth.
“However, if I woke you up from your sound sleep, I will reward you appropriately.”
…squeak?
Formality and dignity that even rats are bewildered.
“Choose which of the two rewards you want.”
And while pushing options stained with dark history.
“The Discipline of Eternal Night or Sleepover.”
You’ve really regained your original intention…!!
