237 # 224 Qin soldiers and Jomon clay dolls.txt (1/2)

Before I do a boss fight, I check the formation. Then it seems like there's something people don't agree on.

”Tact-kun... are we just going to fight as is?

Yeah?

Hey, Nii-chan, I'm at the boss's office.

What's the matter?

Meh.

See, loco moco is fine. I said no problem! And people aren't even up to par! It can't end like this. Mel reminds me.

'If it gets dangerous, change it, okay?

Yes, yes, yes. If it gets dangerous, we'll change it.

So we all enter the square at once and take up a formation. Then a huge rock falls on the exit and blocks the exit.

It's a style that doesn't allow you to escape. Now, what's the enemy?

A large number of armed earthen dolls come out of the ground. I've seen this one before.

Terracotta Warriors Lv 18

Normal Monster Target Active

These are dolls buried with the dead, made during the time of the First Emperor of China and others.

First we strike first.

”Arrow Rain!

A rain of arrows is released from Tristan and Yoichi.

But Arrow Rain is also released from the Terracotta Army. Oh no, they're chanting!

Everyone else fled at once, but there was nowhere to run. That's how many arrows there were. I have nowhere to run either.

The fire shadows tied a sign and used ninjutsu, but I couldn't judge them all.

”...I'm on it.

Noah creates a wall of shadows. Noah, great!

Mirai!

”...yes!

Mirai prepares the recovery spell behind me. Mirai is our lifeline, you see. I can't let him do it.

Noah protects me while I hang my Rune Arts on the Terracotta Warriors of the Bow. Now I can't shoot Arrow Rain anymore.

In the meantime, the fox cubes towed the wizard's Terracotta Warriors with fireballs, buying me some time. The rest is my job. My target is the Wizard Terracotta Warriors!

Explosions!

A huge explosion occurred where the wizard's Terracotta Warriors were solidified and were blown away. But the Terracotta Warriors of the Spearmen had broken through the Full Moon and the others and were closing in on us.

I take out my sword.

''I'll intercept you!　Meir, stop their skills with the vine!　Nowa, Sabik, and Fuchsia!　Support me.

Yes!

Hmm...

Looking at my battle stance, Yoichi-san makes a decision.

''We'll aim at the enemy's rear guard!

Quite a good decision. You must have taken out quite a few of them with the explosion earlier, but the wizard should still be around. The Terracotta Warriors with bows would also shoot at us with a normal bow. In order for us to fight in peace, I think the right thing to do is to aim for the rear guard.

So we'll do our job. Meir cleaves the vine and cancels the Terracotta Warriors' martial arts. Furthermore, the fox cubes burn away the terracotta warriors with their evil flames.

They still come at us, and Sabik attacks them. I take care of the rest of them.

But when I slice through the terracotta army, it breaks in half and knocks them down. Huh? Weak?

He's slicing and dicing once... is this the boss fight? Anyway, we need to focus on these guys now.

We're going to help them, that we are!

Firelight and the others joined in, and while they were defeating the spear terracotta warriors together, Full Moon and the others came.

''Sorry!　I was passed out.

No, I'd like a swordsman, please.

I don't think that's necessary, do you?

Huh?

Explosions!

The swordsmen are blown away by Rekka's explosion.

The rest of them are the last of Mel and the others fighting. I'll be fine now. I turned around and saw Locomoco with a lot of arrows stuck in it.

''Lo, loco moco～～～～!

I hurriedly pull out a locomotive arrow.

'Are you okay!　Loco Moco!

Meh.

Apparently, the fluffy fur made it okay. Phew - I was in a hurry.

'That's it!'

It looks like Lisa has defeated the enemy. But all the defeated Terracotta Warriors and Horses have turned into clods of earth and are gathered in one place. I knew the Terracotta Warriors were the boss... While everyone is on alert, the clods appear in a new form.

An earthenware figure?

?　?　?

It is a clay figure said to have been made in the Jomon period. It has the same shape as the famous clay figures found in Aomori. However, it is big because it is a boss monster.

By the way, why couldn't they have made a clay figurine out of a Haniwa Haniwa? The Terracotta Warriors are here and I want my hopes of the First Emperor returned.

That was the moment I thought that. The eyes of the terracotta warriors glowed red and a beam was shot out at us.

''Oh, that?''

But there was no damage to me. I thought I was dead... but things were bad. All the players except us were turned to stone.

We had put on our breathers before we entered the cave, so it seems we escaped petrification. Perhaps because we were safe, the clay figurines are blushing and emitting steam from their ears. It seems to be angry.

Its arms shine. Is that a martial art! I'm not gonna let you!

”Rune Arts!

The mysterious martial art of the clay figure is a dud. I'm glad it worked.

But next, Dogu's mouth begins to glow red. Apparently the only thing fast is a petrified beam from its eyes.

'Everyone freeze!　Meir, drop that guy in the pit!

Okay, okay!

The meal disappears to the ground. And a clay figure comes spitting flames from his mouth. I'm ready for this one too!

Waterwall!

A wall of water will prevent flames. Meanwhile, Mir will complete the installation of the pit.

'I'm going to drop it!'

Please!

But the clay figure did not fall into the pit. It seemed to be floating slightly off the ground. You're a cat-shaped robot! If it doesn't fall, I'll force it down!

As the flames subside and my waterwall ends, Doji moves his arm. I start chanting my magic too. I thought it was going to be a speed contest, but it wasn't to be.

''...Shadow Binding.''

Thanks to Noah stopping the clay figure's movement, I succeeded in chanting magic. Noah is really good. And you, Doe, you're going down!

Downburst!

The clay figurine tumbles into a pit in a downward motion.

'Guys, stall for time!

Nowa and the others attack the claymores that fell into the pit. In the meantime, I heal Mirai's petrification with a refresh and apply a breath. Because if we get petrified, we're out.

I immediately work with Mirai to heal my friends. First it's the fire shadows. The reason being that they have bombs and are fast, so they're good at guiding us.

''I'll have a grudge against petrification then!

Full Moon heals Rekka and heals Full Moon and Rekka while the fire shadow and the others apply the bombs to the clay figurines, and they participate in the clay figurine battle. Mirai makes the decision to heal Yuko and Lisa. Next, I'll be in charge of Tristan, Yoichi and the others, and Mirai will be in charge of Mikazuki and the others. Mel and Kego were healed last and everyone was back to normal.

Terrible!

It was a natural decision.

...you'll be better, so come and fight.

Me and Mirai must have made the right decision. The two of us have a lot of firepower against the claymores. We'll use MP potions to recover them. In the meantime, when I look at everyone's battles, they are still different from the battles in the event.

Especially Lisa's use of air bullets and jujin to damage the clay figurines. Yuko is an impact slash. It seems that the impact system makes it easier to pass damage to hard enemies. I'll keep that in mind.

Now, I'm going to join in.

In the next moment, I feel like I'm being slammed from above and pushed to the ground. This, this is...a downburst!

My brother!

Mirai has recovered and we're all safe and sound. What the hell was that?

Then Lisa, Yuko, Lecca, and the fire shadow who had been earning damage up until now, were blown away and didn't move as they fell. They seemed to be dead.

The ones who were safe were Mangetsu and the others, Yoichi and the others, and Tristan. This is...

'Some kind of counter. Probably returned the damage he did to the clay figure.

Mel's explanation makes sense... the only members of my crew that were safe were Noah, Sabik and Locomoco. Meir and Foxko were defeated.

Nowa had tied them up in a shadow bind so no damage was done. Sabik was bitten, so he took damage and was severely injured, but it looks like he was lucky that the bite didn't cause much damage. Locomoco didn't do anything in the first place, so he took no damage.

Meal and Foxcoe were gaining damage, so it looks like the recoil was a lot of damage. I completely didn't expect such a nasty monster.

Fortunately, it looks like we'll be able to take out the claymores in a few more minutes, but the claymores have regeneration and this one has no firepower role. Then Noah asks me for permission.

”...Nii, let me use pseudo-dragonization. I'll take everyone's enemies.

So that's the way it works. I've never seen Noah's pseudo-dragonization before, but it's the only chance I've got!

Please.

”...hmm!　Pseudo-dragonization!
