288 282. Wouldnt it be nice to have a day like this? (1/2)
I guess despair is the thing that really makes you think it's impossible.
As the wind blows against your cheek, you are alerted to your surroundings, squinting to keep the dust from entering.
You look at the scene in front of you and think about how to attack it, but you can't think of a way to do it immediately.
Above all, your emotions, not your mind, are the first to think that it is impossible.
I'm not humbled or seriously injured, but my physical strength and the condition of my injuries made me think that there was no way I could break through from here.
I know it's late, but Kirou's dungeon is mainly composed of golems.
The truth is that there are many so-called robot-like monsters.
In fact, if you ask me which dungeon I've been in the most in this company, I'll tell you that the dungeon of the KIOH dungeon where I first went to is the most common.
I don't deny that I feel a sense of duty to start from here, as I have many emotions because it's the first job I started, if not a familiar one.
”Ha-ha-ha-ha, you guys are alive!
Slowly calming your breathing, you check on the safety of the juniors sheltering behind you.
It's tougher to find a safe part.
”Uppu, I've had too many potions, that I feel sick.
I'm sorry, sir. I can't move for a while.
”Win?
I know you're covering for me, and I'm in therapy, but I'm not going to be able to do it for a while.
So, then. I'm the only one who can move right?
But the answers that come back are not all good.
Kaido is wounded everywhere, and as the word suggests, it's more difficult to find his safe parts.
Fortunately, it's not a serious injury, but it's not safe to continue to fight.
You will be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your new collection.
In order to recover from it, you gulped down too many potions, which made you feel sick.
On the other hand, Kitamiya can't move properly because she's received a huge potion, although her intake of the potion is small.
Masaru covers for Amelia as soon as possible from the golem's attack and is knocked out, while Amelia is relatively lightly injured, but simply put, the party's functioning has almost stopped.
The familiar dungeon has been driven into such a situation.
We've now hit the wall.
That wall has spiritual and literal implications as well.
”Here it comes! Even a little bit! Bend over and take a defensive stance!
A wall that seems to be more than 20 meters high looms a few hundred meters away, stretching to the far end of the left and right.
A wall.
The top of the steel-colored wall, which seems to fit the word, shines slightly, and a magical power that makes your skin feel chilled is approaching.
”Holy shit!
It's a magic cannon fired by magic tools.
Each shot has intermediate or higher magical power, and the magic shells were fired simultaneously at us from hundreds of gunports.
The 70th layer.
Our footsteps, which had been going so well, were now completely stopped by the fort in front of us.
Ignoring your aching body, you breathe and connect with the mineral tree to receive magic power that circulates at high speed and increases its purity, then pour that magic power into the blade of the mineral tree to create a pseudo-giant blade.
”Chaestoso!
It cuts through the rain of that magic cannon with a single horizontal letter.
'Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
But if it was a storm that could be cured by that one sword alone, I wouldn't be in this kind of trouble.
I'm going to show you the iron wall of sword fights against the storm of magic guns to protect your comrades who are stuck behind you from the shells fired in its wake, whipping the body that is beginning to creak after tearing apart many times.
The blade is composed of magic power and has no mass, making it easy to wield.
However, its material strength is vastly inferior to the mineral trees it relies on, and whenever the blade is missing, it must be replaced with magical power.
''What? Jiro! Projector sound! The golem is coming!
”b*tc*!
As an added bonus, it's not just magic cannons flying around.
Amelia picks up the sound of the shots and the sound of the bombs landing, just like in this bombing zone, to show me another threat.
If this magic cannon is the only one, you'll just have to keep going and force your way forward.
You could have asked Kitamiya and Minami to deploy defensive magic to force their way through.
But the enemy wouldn't let us do that either.
Of course there is a plan to fill in the gaps in this bombardment.
”It's a rough job we can do because we're golems.
I cut down some of the giant spheres that flew by, contorting my face, stained and sooty from the dust that had flown all over my body, but there were few that aimed directly at us.
Many of the spheres landed farther away from my range of attack, as if to gain ”landing time”.
The sphere landed with a cloud of dust on the sandy ground, unique in the normally neat and orderly landscape of the King's dungeon.
For a few seconds in time, as the sphere I had cut off landed on the surrounding area, a slit is created from the sphere, and the beautiful sphere instantly transformed into a humanoid golem.
It's a wild appearance that could never be made by a living thing.
”Kaido, can you protect them in any way, shape or form?
I'll try.
”Amie-chan, bring Kitamiya and Masaru over here and I will set up a ward, that I will set up a ward.
”Are you okay? Minami. You look pale.
”I'm not depleted like Kitamiya, I'm just suffering from potion drunkenness, that I am, so I can use defensive magic, even if it's someone who needs precise manipulation, that I can manage it. More importantly, we need a little strength now, that we do.
Okay, I'll do my best!
”Sorry, Amy.
We were quickly surrounded, forcing more wear and tear on our battered organization.
They manage to organize the available manpower and make it easy for me to move, but it's still not enough.
The golem, which appears in a form that makes you want to say what kind of science fiction movie it is, is slowly narrowing the siege.
There are two types of golems in its modern form: the avant-garde defensive golem with a huge shield in each hand and sidearms that look like giant scissors, and the rear-guard bombardment type with turrets on both shoulders and what looks like a staff in each hand.
It's a little more comfortable if you're stalling while the castle's magic tools recover.
Doesn't sound so convenient.
”Geez, the enemy's strength is limitless, that it is.
I don't think so, but from the South's point of view, it's a bottomless pit.
Although the enemy is right in front of you, your southern gaze is not on your surroundings, but on the city walls.
It's no wonder that additional forces are about to be deployed right now.
