148 # 139 Clash between defense method in the forest and capture team.txt (1/2)

After finishing dinner with the Kayo sisters, I logged into the game after finishing my bath and found no players.

''Looks like everyone's out on defense.

Oh, my God.

We've got to hurry!

It's true that we have to hurry. But I can hear the sound of a tree cracking down from before.

Another boar-reader?

If that's the case, it might be tougher without Tact's golem. And it still seems to ignore the player's attacks.

They're coming.

Let's show the Konoe family's true potential!

Oh!

Hmm? Do I count?

Come on, brother.

Oh, oh.

It was counted...so I formed a party with Mel and the others.

And what appeared as we knocked over the trees was a giant caterpillar. I've seen this before. A giant caterpillar. I'm going to identify it for now.

Tank Caterpillar Lv 16.

Event Monster Target Active

It's Wang Xu!

Isn't that a moira?

Ah, there you are. But it doesn't look like one. It's just a regular giant caterpillar. It's an event monster, though, and it's purple.

'Tact-kun, summon a golem and a girl who can use fire magic.

Yes, sir. Come on!　Love fire, black iron!

I summoned Love Fire and Black Iron and quickly gave them instructions.

''Black Iron, stop that guy. Love Fire is foxfire and fire magic.

Yes!

Mirai, can I ask you to restore the black iron?

I'll take care of it.

Then I'll join in with fire magic.

”Mel sister, let's do it!

'Yes!　I'll relieve you of the stress you're forced to block out on a daily basis!

I knew I was stressed.

The black iron stops the tank caterpillar but it's being pushed. I buff the black iron and it finally stops. Phew.

'Here we go!　Huh!　Heavy Slash!

Fighting spirit!　Hi!　Uppers!

”Foxfire!

The two of you are firing a series of martial arts, but the damage is weak. Love Fire's fox fire is doing a lot of damage. I guess bugs are still weak to fire?

Then the reinforcements come. Mr. Lewin and his friends.

'I'm sorry!　They pulled me out.

No, no, no, you were ignoring me.

I certainly can't go back to death, and I can't blame them for being pulled out, right? Anyway, Ruin-san and the others attacked from behind to earn some damage.

''Heat Lance!''

My red ray of light burns through the tank caterpillar.

”Love fire!

'Yes!　Flame Circle!

A reddish flame blows up from underneath the tank caterpillar and burns the tank caterpillar.

'Now!'

Attack!　Attack!

The tank caterpillar is defeated by a general attack by the players. Luin-san and the others come from the players who raise the battle cry.

'Thank goodness you guys got there in time.

”Did you still ignore our attack?

Yeah.

That's where Mr. Center and Recca speak.

'After we detected it, we went to intercept it, but we couldn't do anything about it.

'Even wall magic can't stop it, and ignore the magic. I tried to turn it over, but it wouldn't lift, so I'm stuck. We need to think of something to do, or we're in trouble. We can't talk about not being able to defend ourselves every time Takt logs out.

'Well. I'll have to think of something to do... but how am I going to stop this giant monster?

Then Mr. Yug raises his hand.

'Yes, yes!　I think we should build a fence out of wood!

”Will it work against an enemy coming at you with a tree cleave?

Da, no?

Mr. Hugues is depressed, but a savior appears. It's Mel.

'I think it depends on how it's made. I think it would work if you made it with a huge enemy body in mind.

'What?　I have a plan!　Maybe we can manage it!

It's a fence with more wood to stop the regular fence from being pushed down. But there were all kinds of problems.

”How are we going to put up this huge fence?

That's your little golem, Mr. Tact!

Are you relying on the black iron....Mr. Yug.

'So how much time do we have to install it?　It's time to set up in this area.

'Well... maybe not in a week?'

I know. It would be nice if they were coming to the same place, but they're probably in different places. One place would be enough, though.

Hmmm... there's no way to defend ourselves in a short amount of time... but it's not a sure thing.

”Does Tact have a plan?

Sprouts. Why are you asking me?

”Why are you asking me?

You're good at this sort of thing, aren't you?

How do you treat this guy?

What do you think?

To Mr. Lewin...

”There are a few things we can't be sure of. First, how to sink it with an earth magic Potomless Swamp.

Bottomless pit... and I knew you'd remember a lot of magic you didn't know. But can it be dropped?

Maybe not.

No. What else?

It's a wire trap. This is the real deal.

Rekka and Mr. Yug speak.

'I see. If there's a wire, there might be a chance we could stop it.'

So you're setting up in the big tree. The question is, will the tree and the thread last?

That's the problem.

Is there anything else?

I don't know if this will work either, but there's another way to set up a mucus thread in the ground.

It's a sticky trap... it's going to take a player...
