433 # 414 Demon King Baels Three Transformations.txt (1/2)

The next day, it's finally the last event.

I ate a meal and logged in as soon as possible. Everyone else is logging in one by one. We can go to the boss's field, but we've decided to go to the fifth island to pick up the weapons we've been given to sort out and repair the items.

The reason being we didn't want to be messed with on the mission and items, etc.

Then I came to a new island. This is the setting... similar to the island before we built our base. There's no height difference and no rocks in the field, so you can't hide and defend against the boss's attacks. There's also a decent amount of sea, so ships can be used.

Then I got involved with someone I had heard about beforehand. Those who didn't participate in last night's strategy meeting were told to stay back because they were in the way. What are you talking about when you didn't let them know about the strategy meeting or anything? Who's this guy?

He even went so far as to tell me not to interfere in operations and to follow orders. I can't help but think he's insane.

”Hey.

''Huh!　You.

Your face is red just from replying. It's a game and it's well done. Really... then we were placed at the back of the line in the ship, as expected. It's all part of the plan.

”It's a mistake when you put your most powerful ship at the very back of the line.

''Sknavikona has an ether shield, you know. Normally, I would consider using it as a shield.

'You can predict what's going to happen next. It's going to be a pretty rough event. This.

When I listened to Mr. Saba Can's prediction, it was just too bad.

Furthermore, the formation is also, well, terrible. Land is a cinch, I should say, but it's the ships that are the problem. No wonder the gunboats were in front and the carriers were in the rear. The problem is the number of ships. We're jammed in there, we can't move. We are still able to move because we are the last, but the ships in front of us will have a desperate feeling of desperation, because if an attack like the Breathless comes, they will not be able to escape.

What would happen?

And it's time for the event to begin. The raid boss, Demon Lord Bael, appears.

Frog Bael?

?　?　?

First it's a frog with a big, stupid crown.

”Begin attack!

”Ooh!

The attack has begun. All at once, the cannons are fired and the attacking force strikes. It's a perfect start. But there was no way that Frog Bael was just going to get attacked, either.

The moment the cannon hits Frog Bael, the cannon bounces back towards the gunship. There is no escape for the gunships on the front lines.

''Ka, evasion~''

There are too many ships, we can't move!

'What!　Yes!　I don't care if you bump into him, just avoid him!

Yes!

But there was no way to escape from a collision. Thus, the gunboats on the frontline sank all at once.

''Ahhhh...''

I know you're the guys on the attack team... and to have no experience... will definitely affect your ability to capture the field from now on.

Not paying attention to such gunboats, the land troops attack.

Then Frog Bael promptly uses his rainmaker to rain down. In contrast, the player also uses a clear orb. Still, Frog Bael repeats his rainmaking.

'...How does it look?

Do you think you've used too many items?

'Well... there's a lot of them, so there's no need to hold back, but I'm curious about Bael's movements.

I'm curious about the advantage of rain, though. The weather battle goes on for a while, but when Frog Bael's life force is cut in half, the Demon King Bael opens his mouth, starting.

''Sharrow-san, the Aether Shield!

'Yes!　AetherShield deployed!

Yessir!

Tongues flew as the ether shield deployed. We weren't targeted, but a number of carriers were caught and eaten, entangled in their tongues.

'Never mind that!　Keep attacking!

It would be terrible not to care. Lewin and his team are not trying to hide their displeasure. It's probably the same production people who were targeted, you know.

Then Frog Bael changes direction one after another and comes after the carrier.

”We're being targeted!

Run!

There's nowhere to run, man!　Geez!

We couldn't move them to the ship and they were being eaten one by one. That's a target. But there's nothing anyone can do to help. The only thing we can do is to sneak up behind Sknavikona.

But still, this is...they're aiming at something. The only possible reason for aiming at the carrier could be an item... but then Ruin-san notices Bael's aim.

'They're probably going after the Clear Orb... since the only people who use the Clear Orb from the beginning are the land people.

That's true... and the attack team probably doesn't have many people with a clear orb. I'm sure they traded it for weapons. Isn't this a bad idea?

After that, the players on land continued to attack without paying attention to Frog Bael's attacks, and that's when Frog Bael almost died.

Several players ignored the instructions and used their special moves to defeat Frog Bael.

''Huh!　Who's there!　Whoever attacked me now without permission!

...

They all don't know. This is what Mr. Sabbacan was expecting. Unlike world quests, as long as there were bonus points, that meant fights.

Even on the old island, there was still hostility between players. And we were the same way. This time around, these things inevitably come up because of the special moves.

Then the Frog Bael swelled up and when it burst, gooey liquid rained down. Except for us, the players on board, and the players in their swimsuits, it becomes gooey. The effect of the swimsuit was to prevent this from happening, right?

''That was close...''

As we're relieved, a pillar of black light rises from where Frog Bael died and a cat-formed Demon King Bael appears.

Cat Bael?

?　?　?

”Ha-ha-ha!　Did you think you'd won?　No way!

He's got a nice personality... It's the Demon King.

I'll kill him!

The players are now one in will. However, Cat Bael is in great pain. Provocations and the like don't work, magic and cannons are ducked, and the player is trampled to death just by being moved around.

''How would you attack that one, Tact-san?''

'We can't do anything about it if we don't block their movements first... if we're going to attack, we'll have to hit a wide area at once to do any damage.

Then the wizards used their magic to disperse over a wide area. Then Cat Bael disappeared into a black mist and appeared on top of the wizards and trampled them down. That's the skill Malbus was using.

Then a skill I didn't know was used. When light falls on the Demon King Bael from the sky, it seals the Demon King Bael's abilities.

''I think that's a demon seal for the priestly position. I heard it has the effect of sealing the demon's skills.''

That's competent. The wizards' magic is used from another place, and when the damage is done, the ninjas shadow stitch when they stop moving.

'Now!　All hands on deck!

The life force is decreasing rapidly. Cats don't seem to have much defense or life force. But if you cut it in half, the player's movement becomes worse.

Then Cat Bael escaped from the shadow stitching in the meantime. This is terrible.

''What are you doing!　Priests!　Ninjas!　Stop moving again!

Don't be ridiculous...
