189-Episode 189: Dusk Hazardous Area Level 5




 As this was a new mission, we were quickly getting ready for it.

'Julia. How are you feeling?
Sherry. Well, not bad, I guess.

 We broke up after that and I just decided to have lunch with Shelly. I invited the seniors and others to join us, but they had other duties to attend to. This one would have to do.

 I order curry as usual and share my meal with her.

'It's a level 5 twilight danger zone, what's it really like?'

 This time it's still in the name of research, but we're moving beyond that. And I'm the only one who's experienced beyond level 5. In fact, I'm putting it all together in a report and I'm sure I'll be looking through it, but Sherry probably wants to actually hear the story first hand.

''Well to be honest, it's pretty tough after level 5. Even for a first level vs. a mage, it might be tough.
So does that mean you're still only going to be able to go to the Special Class Anti-Magician?
If you want to keep your safety, yes. You'd have to be a special-grade anti-magician to come back.
Demons have mutants, don't they?
Yeah. It's basically a mutant. I don't think there were many of the usual ones.

 The memories of that time are still vividly remembered.

 There were no normal species of demons, but rather fierce mutants. Mutants with different body shapes, colors, and other characteristics.

 I've dealt with them a few times, but basically it was more about running away.

 Back then, the strength of the demons suddenly became an order of magnitude stronger, so I was quite confused. I thought that I would die if I fought properly here, so I gave priority to running away.

''I see.......So it's so strong that Yulia has to run away.
'But I think Shelley could work now. The only problem is the quantity.
Quantity?
'Yeah. Basically, they tend to act in packs. And there's a lot of cannibalism.
Ugh no cannibalism.

 It is truly a world of the weak and the strong.

 When their own flock is outnumbered, they eat their friends to replenish their nutritional needs. The demons in the twilight have this kind of ecology as well.

 From now on, we have to step into this world.

 Perhaps we won't have to keep up with each and every one of these demons. The problem is the amount of material and the nature of the demons. Demons that have poison and paralysis are especially very troublesome.

 You'll need to pay attention to this area as well as fight them.

 This is all very close to the edge, even if you are a first-class opponent. It would be enough to barely be able to take on a special class opponent.

 But since we can't dispatch all of the special class antimagicians, this time we'll only have selected members.

''Hey, Yulia.''
What's going on?
I'll do my best.
''Well yes. We'll work together.
Yes.

 Once again, I don't want to reiterate it, but we said it. It must have been a vow, too.
