Prologue

”Naotsugu, pay attention to the right!”

”Right, leave it to me!”

Naotsugu replied to shi+roe's warning with a yell, raised his silver shi+eld and downed the Triffid

”My lord!”

With one blow, Akatsuki quickly restrained the green twisted ivy reaching out froht after that, she lowered her body and positioned herself to protect shi+roe

This place was the Herbery of Small Stone

It was a small zone but as it held ancient entertainment facilities, it was different froreat variations in its terrain and combat was difficult

”Then again, isn't this a little too many?”

”Their nuu cracks a dirty joke”

”So it's my fault?”

Without replying to Naotsugu's retort, shi+roe cast a bluish-white ic arrow and fired it at the Briar Weasels Mind Bolt was a basic attack y that struck a single enemy

While shi+roe was looking at the rodent-like creature that was roughly a ht as it shrieked and jumped about, an icon appeared in his mind

The icon had turned pale to represent its recast tilass Until the icon regained its luster, that spell was unusable However, there were close to 30 other skills that shi+roe could use

”Rush them! Akatsuki, attack their left flank!”

”Roger that!”

”Leave it to me!”

Furthermore, even if all of his skills were unusable, shi+roe currently had two comrades with him

”Haa, let's do it! shi+eld Smash!+”

The silver-armored warrior who quickly advanced down theeneuy with short hair and jovial-looking eyes and he was shi+roe's friend from the old days

His class was Guardian Ale-handedly draw in and tank enereatest defensive abilities and, in Elder Tales, were nicknamed ”Unbreakable shi+eld”

” Too slow!”

A young girl, who gave one the iap that appeared froe creature that looked like a burst rugby ball with glass-like fangs growing from it attacked but she cut it doith the short sword she wielded as she passed it

This petite girl with her black hair fluttering in the as Akatsuki

She called shi+roe ”My lord” without hesitation and was also shi+roe's friend

Her class was assassin It was a resourceful class that wielded one-hit kill skills It boasted of having the strongest physical attack a the 12 classes of Elder Tales

Though shi+roe viewed the movements of these two in fascination, he hurriedly advanced forward

shi+roe's class was Enchanter

Aic attack classes, it was a 100 support class type specializing in support and battle status ic attack classes, the Enchanter's defense wasn't sou's full-plated armor, it couldn't even equip the leather ar

Under the huge white gown-lookingmore than a rather ordinary tunic shi+rt and a pair of trousers

shi+roe, as the rear support without defensive abilities, could not be left alone on the battlefield; he needed to take the opponent's area-of-effectoverly close to the front lines could be dangerous So the best method was to be wary of a a set distance frou and Akatsuki

Needless to say, the Herbery of Sh difficulty

The monsters that could appear in this zone were Triffids, Briar Weasels, and Venom Moths; all around Level 50

shi+roe and the other tere Level 90 Adventurers

In the world of the MMORPG, Elder Tales, they were the highest class of power Even if shi+roe's defense was low, he wouldn't receive ap

Furthere number of opponents, even if it were just ten or twenty Triffids, they were opponents of a level where they could be taken care of single-handedly by any of the three party members

(Even so, the current situation)

Till now, the three of the and bickering, but Naotsugu and Akatsuki both had serious expressions right now

Battles were terrifying

Even if one had a strong body or a sound ic or used a sword skill, when facing a ered

Both feet on the ground, hands fir his staff, they were all parts of his body The wind that blew past his cheeks, the piercing howls of the h his blood, they were all that shi+roe was experiencing at the present

Tooth and claw that suddenly appeared in their faces, flae or intercept these attacks at the front-lines was a lot harder than they thought In order to conquer this handicap, they had no choice but to accumulate combat experience, this was the conclusion the three of them had come up with

”Watch your right!”

”I got it!”

Despite a serious look on his face, Naotsugu still swiftly looked in the direction that shi+roe had warned hih the strike did not deal a critical hit, it was sufficient to restrict the movements of the Briar Weasel

The weasel extended its green briar, glaring with its cri back by curling its body into a ball

The attack just now had proven their suspicions

They were all Level 90 Adventurers, originally if they met these monsters that were around Level 48, it would be impossible for a situation where there would be an ”Attack Failure”

This proved that the cooperation between the tas still insufficient

Despite being Level 90 Adventurers, they were still unable to wield their skills to the best of their best abilities yet

”Nightmare Sphere!”

That hy they had to carry out their roles the best they could shi+roe who had arrived at this conclusion executed an area of effect skill Nightic that Enchanters possessed

Although it was an offensive skill, the dae that it actually dealt was very little

The Enchanter class was not versed in offensive ic from the start Coic that Enchanters could dish out by themselves was very weak; this was a fact known to everyone The skill that shi+roe used traced out an unreliable arc, landing right in theplants and violently exploded; it seee to the opponents, this was the best proof that Enchanters eak

Even though they were monsters who had levels half of his, he was still unable to defeat thee, this was the trait possessed by Enchanters

As such, the Enchanter was an unpopular class in Elder Tales

As players, they were ruthless when playing gae and co that was absolute Despite being in a gaame universe, it caused this world to be a caste society that was even more heartless and strict than the real world
