102-102
◆ Chapter 4.04
It was a melee.
If I had to explain the situation, it would be a three-versus-three battle.
On the receiving end were Kanami, a monk, and Crusty, a guardian warrior.
The attackers include the lightning-controlling magical beast Nue, the high-level swordsman Elias Hackblade, and the unidentified "ancient species" Yoren Sennya.
If you think about their strength ratio, they are ridiculously outnumbered.
The demonic beasts, White White White, and White White White, are twelve-man combat (half-raid) class monsters. Aeris is a 100 level 'ancient species'. In addition, there's the Lotus Immortal Woman. Normally, this would require a force of twenty men.
But Krusty had no fear or anxiety. Motivated by the tingling heat of battle and even more so by his curiosity, he wields the Crescent Moon Axe (Bardiche). It was the beginning of a joyous time.
Armed struggle is an interesting thing.
I don't know if it's a unique situation in this world that started with the game Elder Tail or if it's just that way in general, but it is fascinating to see the various subtleties.
When Krusty fought Elias, the outcome of that one-on-one battle was determined by the individual's fighting ability itself and his mental tactics. Particularly important was his self-control to control his mental turmoil and his ability to see through the gaps. The reason why Krusty was able to get through that battle without losing his life is because he had a mental advantage over Elias at that point in time.
Krusty's conquering eyes in the sky also contributed to this. This is because this oral tradition of increasing one's vision is only of real value when one has a clear mind.
On the other hand, in the general large-scale combat (raids) of the 24-man (full raids) class of group combat, what is important is the division of roles, communication, and coordination that takes the form of this communication. Individual combat skills and composure are not unnecessary, but they are no longer of paramount importance, and engagement with others and everyday training take on greater significance. What is most important in a battle of this magnitude is the ability to communicate flexibly and as a living organism to apply tactics in response to the war situation.
In contrast, a three-on-three battle like the one being waged now was terribly primitive, dizzying, and yet tricky.
''Gugaah!''
After being kicked behind his ears with Kongo's toe at high speed, the man of mystery spits a compressed thunderball into his mouth towards Elias. Kanami had set it up on purpose. Elias tries to catch the lightning ball with his crystal greatsword while his bloodshot eyes sink into vindictiveness, but it's incompatible (,,,,,,). Shiden wraps around Elias's body as he clings to the water current. Perhaps because he is wearing magical armor with a high resistance ability, his movements are momentarily slowed down, although he does not receive any significant damage.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's not a bad idea to have a good idea of what to do. I think I've hit Erieli.
You did it on purpose, didn't you?
Krusty responded to the dazed and distraught Kanami without even looking at her.
The three-on-three battle is dizzying. The way it looks is like pinball.
In a one-on-one battle, you only had to think about yourself and your enemy, but in a three-on-three battle, you have two companions for each other. Coordination occurs (,,,,,,,,,,,). But the coordination that occurs there is not calculated and trained like in large scale combat (raids). It's more of an improvisational element, created by inspiration on the spot.
What is most needed in small group battles is a sense of combat. The difficulty of this is no less than in large scale combat (raids).
And when it comes to such battles, Kanami seems to have an innate talent for it. From earlier, the sphinx has been making it difficult to fight. By continuing to evade its attacks, Kanami continues to gain hate while repeatedly positioning itself in such a way that it is forced to involve its enemies and allies in large scale attacks, and continues to keep control into the middle distance. It's an action that seems to require long combat experience, but apparently she does all of those things naturally.
''Erieli is a dark eliery.
....
'I just got cut down with 'move or I'll cut you'!
....
It's more natural, so what I'm saying is pathetic. I didn't even feel like ministering to him.
He shrugged his shoulders and attacked against the sphinx while the demon was gone.
It seems that the Leaf Lotus Fairy is planning to provide some kind of support, but the body of a man of mystery is as big as a one-box car. I'm not going to be able to get a man to attack me, but I'm going to be able to use my massive body as an obstacle to block my view. Using the rotation of his knees, he uses his knee to strike with techniques suitable for close range, such as the Towning Blow and Armor Crash, and carefully crushes the starting point of the demonic beast's attack without showing any gaps.
Elias and Kanami continue to fight like a dance, unable to give each other effective hits as usual.
It was hard to understand with Kanami's lax explanation, but the two must be friends who knew each other on their journey to this place. If that's the case, it's only logical to leave Elias to Kanami.
Although he tasted Elias' sword skills with his body, but| the last time was more fun《,,,,,,,,,,,,,} As expected, easy insanity is not a good addition to the war effort.
However, you won't be disappointed. There is still more food left on the battlefield (buffet) than we can eat. Krusty thought calmly and set his sights on the head chef beyond the sphinx.
As well as the squirrel, the Lotus Fairy Woman, who continues to hide her cards without touching them herself, also wears an air of old age.
(Or is she frightened?)
He had such an impression of the nymph who became half-formed in response to Krusty's gaze and alerted him to the firing line. It was such a gesture, like a child learning to touch the stove and getting burned.
Krusty ran through hundreds of lines of considered thoughts.
It was about what the Leaf Lotus Fairy told him.
--The demonic beasts were sent from space.
--It is now possible to send an army to various places.
--this is because the summoning technique was shared and resources were in place.
--The instructions were issued by the West King Mother.
It was nothing.
It was just a disclosure to satisfy the self-consciousness of the film's mastermind that they were the ones who staged this one, if you put it all together.
In other words, the enemy. A declaration of invasion.
Krusty chuckled.
He wielded the giant crescent axe with a cheerful mood that no longer cared about the remaining amount of HP, which was less than 20%. The refreshing freshness of it made the edges of his lips hang up, and he couldn't restrain himself from letting his clenched teeth peek out.
Wonderful.
It's not interested in the nymphs who patronizingly slipped up to say they helped you, but if you can overthrow them, it's a completely different story. There is no reason to say no if you are willing to solve or exterminate them. If they are willing to declare hostility, that would be a wonderful birthday gift.
A deep part of Krusty informed him with a mysterious vibration.
The Leaf Lotus Fairy is also the "real enemy".
She is not an enemy as an opponent, as she was when she confronted Elias. She is an enemy as a usurper. The vibration of his soul, like a breeze blowing through the hollow of stolen memories, convinced Krusty of this.
The hermaphrodite and those connected to it had taken Krusty's private property (kioku). This conviction deepened Krusty's smile. What she did was an unmistakable declaration of hostility, an act, the opening song of the struggle for existence.
Krusty could take everything from this nymph, too.
Out of the corner of his eye, Elias, who was spewing a murky aura, was unleashing a forceful attack on Kanami. A bewildered Kanami avoids it with plenty of time to spare, but the attack itself, which doesn't hit, seems to have deeply alarmed him himself. It is no longer possible to take the meaning out of it and move into an onslaught.
Kanami manages to duck or cut the dragonflies and slide them with his cage, as the continuous attacks are like tornadoes. It was certainly Elias who was pushing, but the attack didn't have the break of the other day. The cloudiness of his mind is clouding his technique.
Why would he antagonize his friend, Kanami?
→Brainwashing or hypnosis, consciousness induction
→ Needless to say, it's by the Immortal Lotus Sisters
Crusty's interest was cut short by a brief conclusion.
It's not that I have an aversion to consciousness induction. People are influenced by something. Education is brainwashing with a degree of usefulness, and a proactive life is a product of self-suggestion.
That's why I don't intend to impeach them as wicked or blame them for their weaknesses, whether it's the Fairy Lily who gave it to them or Elias who was misled by it. It's just that it's a scene that can be seen everywhere, and it happened on the battlefield.
But on the other hand, I do feel something close to irritation and contempt.
While releasing those feelings on his blade, Krusty struck a blow at the Lotus Fairy as he bounced off the sphinx.
'So it was you (you) who made Elias weak.
Krusty was sure of it as his eyes met with the eyes that were open beneath the veil and his gaze crossed.
To be weakened, that was an obvious evil.
Even if brainwashing and consciousness induction weren't evil, if degradation would occur as a result of it, he would still declare it to be evil. That was Krusty.
The disgust he felt for the crusty woman was also rapture as it was.
Because from now on, there could be a struggle for existence with this entity that had done its obvious evil.
A wet sound resounded again and again, as if the damp bedding had been slashed with all its might.
It seems that the Leaf Lotus Fairy is still highly skilled in combat. A wall of mud emerging from the earth blocked Krusty's attack. It seems to have the property of escaping the power of a lightning strike to the earth, and it was also an ironclad defense against the attacks of a man of mystery.
I'm not sure I've ever seen such a thing before. The power of each strike is lowered, so it doesn't immediately lead to death, but it's practically impossible to avoid it. The Thundering Demonic Beast attacked by involving the entire Leaf Lotus Immortal using a wall of mud, it was a troublesome attack for Krusty, whose HP recovery ability had fallen.
''Even if you are weakened, the Great Hero is trying to reap your lives.
Krusty interrupted the ladylady's hushed voice by slamming her basket like a blunt instrument.
'I learned from the Highbok that this is not gathering, but hunting. I learned from the Highbok that this is not gathering, but hunting. You may not have a rank three, but you are strong. You will die by your swords.
Is that why he turned Elias towards us?
My smile deepens as my frustration grows.
Maybe this woman has no idea what she's talking about.
Life is ultimately about testing. That's what Krusty thinks.
What can we do and what can't we do? In short, it's an experiment. Life is the purpose of the experiment. I don't know how long ago, but that's what Krusty has been thinking. There are an enormous amount of problems in the world. Whether it can be solved or not - one runs through the world to find out the answer. It's been a long time since they have burned a life.
Of course, there may be evil experiments that should not be done. But it is human nature to take on a challenge. No one can deny it. It would be a usurpation to confine a bird in a cage as it tries to flap its wings.
Going mad is fine.
But it is the end of the world if it prevents us from doing what we can do.
What Elias could do, he could no longer do. The skills he could have achieved after so much study are gone. It's a desolate and pathetic scene.
That frustration gave Krusty's Demon Axe of Fresh Blood its power.
"You will die here.
We'll have to try that.
Krusty whispered in a faint voice as he stared at her with glittering eyes.
The meaning of human life is to test things to see if they are possible.
Life is a tool for that purpose.
It was Krusty's greatest pleasure to test himself.
Forbidden to test himself, he dreamed of doing just that in his infant cage.
And Krusty loves to see his face twisted in humiliation as he proudly looks down on his fellow man as he accomplishes a difficult task in front of those who call him "impossible".
Now the world is leaving the test up to Krusty.
Krusty began to burn his remaining HP.
◆ Chapter 4.05
Battles suddenly began to break out all over the mountain ridge.
We don't know where they came from, but the monsters with the names "Everlasting Moth" and "Moon Rabbit" appeared with a rainbow of light and began to invade. Their opponents are mainly monsters. The monsters were fighting with the wolves of the Wolves' Mountain, the Great Wolf and the Wise Wolf, which had originally lived here.
At the foot of the mountain, a pack of adventurers also clashes with rainbow-colored monsters. If Chun-Lu was there, she might have recognized it as her guild of guards, the Wuthering Wolf Troopers, but Leonardo, who only saw it from the pass, couldn't tell that much.
All he could tell was that this mountain range suddenly became noisy and tumultuous.
Ironically, this mayhem informed both Leonardo and Coppellia of the path they should take.
Because there was some clue to this incident at the center of the most disturbance, and that's where Kanami would probably be, too.
Coppelia and Leonardo followed the mayhem down the mountainside.
As for Leonardo, he was pleased with himself for not expressing that 'the cause of this incident lies at the heart of the greatest disturbance' or that 'the cause is Kanami'. It was a reminder of the human condition that he did not point out the cause of the incident directly, even though he thought it was probably true.
However, he doubted that Coppélia needed such attention. I agree with you that the probability of Master's existence is high" to Leonardo's statement, because he simply replied, "I agree with you that the probability of Master's existence is high.
In any case, the two of them avoided fighting, but if they still had no choice, they fought back and proceeded up and up through the rocky mountains that were cliffed in some places.
They reached the square, where fireworks were set off like the East River. The fireworks, familiar to the locals, were an Independence Day landmark, and Macy's must have hosted them. Leonard wasn't that aware of it. Speaking of Independence Day, he went out to the roof of his office (of course, he wasn't supposed to be working!) to watch the parade go by incessantly. I believe that a beer-drinking barbecue is the right kind of IT technician.
Well, what was actually set off were thunderballs, not fireworks, and the noise was not a parade conducted by high school cheerleaders, but Kanami.
Led by the sounds of battle, Leonardo and Coppella jumped down from the collapse into the hall and stood still at the severity of the situation.
Leonardo's shock was greater than anyone else's as he thought of the riddled summer afternoons of Independence Day, but he gave up, saying it was his own fault. Launching a series of mass annihilation attacks instead of fireworks is good. You could even laugh it off as a change of celebratory gunfire. It's like a NYM (Mets) game, but with a giant magical beast instead of a parade. Leonard was a fan of this team and would often watch the Independence Day fireworks at the ballpark if he could get a ticket.
I think that's about as much of a ruckus as you might get if you were traveling with Kanami.
It's a disgusting way of looking at mastery, but, well, I suppose it's there.
But even if it is, what about the fact that it's a large scale combat (raid) class monster? It's Kanami and the monster wolf that are fighting. They've finally gotten to the beast. No, that's confusion. It's the beginning of an escape from reality.
Besides, it didn't make sense for Kanami and Elias to be clashing their fists and swords against each other, even against the backdrop of that great battle.
''What the hell are you doing?!''
'Ah! Kelonardo! Was it safe in just the right place?
'I'm safe, I don't know what's just right, so explain it to me. I can give you a document distribution or something.
I'm very busy.
I know what it looks like, but Elias...
A leisurely question and answer was not allowed.
Elias, whose eyes were clouded, rushed in with his entire great sword held up like a spear. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good deal more than you think. Of course, that didn't make him unable to fight. A hunchbacked figure, dragging a rattling crystal blade, appeared out of the curled up and foggy water droplets.
''What's happening?!''
I don't know. I don't know, maybe it's an evil mutated beam or something.
Kids!
The tsukkomi could not be completed.
This is because Elias, who suddenly jumped in like a spring-loaded device, slammed countless dagger-like chunks of ice at Leonardo.
Probably he thought that wielding a huge two-handed sword, he couldn't catch Leonardo, who is a two-fisted assassin. That choice of attack was the right one. However, that doesn't mean that Leonardo can't get beaten up for free as well. He inserted the fire-attribute < Illusionary Class> twin swords
I'm sure you'll find that Lord Elias's pulse and color are abnormal. You are requested to heal--
But even in such a moment, Coppellia was Coppellia.
She tilted her head in a thoughtful gesture and approached Elias without fear.
Surely Elias was suffering from some kind of conditional abnormality and was trying to heal it. Stepping out of the field created by Leonardo's weapon, Coppelia is directly hit by the shockwave created by the collision between the two. Leonardo quickly swept his weapon to the side, but he couldn't reach to defend the petite girl.
However, even though it looks like a samurai uniform, Coppelia's defensive ability, equipped with heavily armored sheet metal armor (platemail), is not comparable to Leonardo's, who was extremely swept up in agility. They are able to bounce off pieces of ice and flying debris with just a light metallic sound.
That Coppelia's outstretched hand was dispelled.
Elias rejected it, growling viciously with eyes that seemed to suffer from something.
Leonardo flew to the side with Coppelia, who reached out again to help him.
Looming behind him was a huge ice decapitation (guillotine). It is an open-ended, desperate attack that ignores efficiency and hit rate. Normally Elias wouldn't even choose to hit it because it's so difficult to hit, but with a screaming, barbaric voice, he swings down a big move that he wouldn't even choose.
While holding the small girl in his arms, Leonardo looked into her eyes.
There was Elias' figure, torn apart by pain.
The figure wielding a weapon with red-burning eyes, distorted by pain and rage, was fierce indeed, but it reminded Leonardo of a colleague who had left his job in desperation. After all, the glimpse of Elias in that collapse was not an illusion.
'I ... curse ...'
Maybe it wasn't words spun with a clear intention.
It was a murmur that seemed to be mingled with a snarl.
But when Leonardo heard it, it became somewhat clear to him.
(This can't be done.)
Easily, I thought.
Not as a geek living in New York with a flow and a spec sheet under his arm, but as a boy who spent his youth with the Collapse (Vital Down), I realized.
Fighting Elias and reclaiming himself is not something Coppelia or Kanami can do.
I have to do it myself.
Leonardo made that decision so easily that it was a wonder to himself.
'Stay back, and if you can, stay away!
He threw the girl in his chest in Kanami's direction as if to push her away, and Leonardo used the recoil to do a side roll. One or two. With a kirimomi rotation with a twist in the air, he kicked the dusky gray-blue demonic beast away and flew back to Elias.
''Do-o-ryaaaah!
No technique.
Just forcefully, with Elias in my outstretched arms, I dove like an NFL (football) touchdown.
We both rolled and slid across the rocky surface of the stalactite cave, which would have been scarred by it if we were in the flesh of the earth world, exchanged a couple of well-angled punches, and twisted around to get up.
'There's something about whining that women can't hear, you know.
Leonard said.
Yeah, yeah.
He nodded widely in his mind.
That's what I can do for Elias.
'I don't know how I feel, but I know there are times when I do. Besides, I--'
Which of them came closer.
The distance between them shrank as if they were drawn together by a thread, and the crystal greatsword and the flame-blowing twin swords engaged each other stiffly.
''Say!''
When Leonardo decided that it would not hold, he kicked Elias in the abdomen and released his power diagonally. The crossed-blade uke is the most defensible type, but it is still insufficient to catch the two-meter-long crystal stream.
As a weapon attacker, Leonardo's physical strength is at an inhuman level, but he still chooses to grow in the direction of instantaneous force and speed. In comparison, Elias is an all-around warrior with muscular strength and endurance trained without fail. If that's all there is to it, there is a level difference of up to ten.
In the Elder Tail, the level difference is quite large.
It's not so much that it can't be reversed under any circumstances, but it does have a significant impact on all confrontational actions. Not only does it affect the hit and evasion rates of attacks, but it also affects the extent to which poison and paralysis can be resisted, and the extent to which damage can be reduced or increased.
Large-scale raiding parties equipped with illusory items fight monsters three to five levels higher than they are, but this is a challenge that requires careful preparation and tactics; a ten-level difference in PvP (battle-versus-people) is generally enough to make a fight impossible.
But Leonardo ignored such inconveniences and boldly attacked.
A sound like dull steel rubbing together or knocking against each other could be heard.
Ninja Twin Flame's Procedural Effect (Prok) has not been able to deal effective fire damage. They are blocked by Elias' weapon, which is similarly clad in a stream of water.
'Strong.'
Leonardo, who was breathing on his shoulder, told me that.
The rate of attrition in individual "solo" battles is much faster than in team battles. Especially the low mileage "sorcerers" (Sorcerers) and "assassins" (Assassins), which are the attackers, if you make a serious attack to deal heavy damage, they will deplete their MP in a matter of minutes.
With an attack that doesn't think ahead, Leonardo doesn't have even half of his MP left.
After that much, it looks like they can manage to strike each other. Leonardo continues to stare at the pause while being happy about such a difference in strength.
''As expected, Elias must be strong.
I don't know if those words have reached him or not.
But Elias, with his cloudy red eyes, murmured in an inaudible croaky voice, "You know what," and flashed his crystal sword in the last rays of sunshine to bounce Leonardo's head off.
◆ Chapter 4.06
I don't know what it is.
Leonardo thinks as he dances in a fierce sword play.
It's not as if we don't understand.
But he can't receive Elias' suffering.
Leonardo has traveled with Elias, and he thinks he knows his cheerfulness, his foolishness, his hidden sorrow. I also know that he grieved for the loss of his people, and that he struggled with guilt that he was not strong enough to cause it.
But those are just things I know, and I can't say that I know.
I can't say that I know, nor should I say that I do.
A fellow traveler is only a little closer than a stranger.
A searing pain ran down my side.
The green suit was torn apart in a devastating car accident. Originally, this armor was intended to focus on covert performance, and had little to no resistance to cold air.
A slight bell ringing sound.
The sharp blade that protruded in exchange was avoided by Elias' neck-only posture. He seemed to have done his best just to hold up the collar of his white surcoat.
That is the very difference in power between the two of them now.
He uses a not-so-small percentage of his HP as a decoy and bites his collar, so that's the best he can do.
It was true that Elias was also taking quite a bit of damage, but that was due to the fact that he had been worn out before he and Leonardo started the matchup.
But that power differential was a comfortable one.
If Elias had been weak, it would have been much more heartbreaking.
'That's why Elias-Hackblade!
Elias's cloudy eyes widened slightly, as if the words he had said were thunderbolt magic with an actuality. He let out a wounded cry and waved his blade as if the pointing out touched a weary old wound.
As expected, he couldn't take that attack.
The aftermath alone would be enough of an impact to pass through the armor. If you receive a direct hit from the blade, you may even lose a limb. Leonardo drew back on the verge while wielding his own twin swords. Faster than if he can't win with the size of a blow.
''Because, aren't you one of those guys!
Leonardo shouted, even though he knew he would never reach it.
No wonder. It is a world that Elias does not know.
Something that only Leonardo would talk about.
Elias-Huckblade is one of the brightest heroes.
He's one of the Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor and Batman's friends.
One of those who stand up and fight with courage and pride in the face of hardship and despair.
He is one of those who are gathered in the hall of fame for their absolute indomitable will and honor.
It is one of those people that Leonardo admires.
I knew you were one of them. --I knew you before I met you in the Abandoned City of Tekelis. I always knew you. Elias Huckblade! The world's only Blade Mancer. An elf hero who belongs to the Order of the Red Branch, one of the thirteen knights of the entire world. The Precious Bloods, raised by elves (Blue Bloods). He received the Crystal Stream, a two-handed sword, along with the wishes of the three Anemoi.
Elder Tale is not something to be enjoyed within the confines of a game.
There are countless quests scattered throughout the vast world (field), and since there are far more than one player can discover, the information is shared. Information about the game will be conveyed in various ways through strategy sites, bulletin boards, and even through word of mouth via messengers.
In particular, as is usual in MMORPGs, newly introduced events and quests will be shared among many users. This was even more so since events like the one in which Elias appeared were mostly related to the main storyline of the expansion pack.
A typical second heroic character that seems to be a game developer's dream stuffed with a typical second hero character is Elias-Huckblade. He has long, fluttering blonde hair and sapphire eyes. He wears a white coat and a huge magic sword. He even appears in over a hundred quests.
One of the most famous characters in the game Elder Tail is Elias Huckblade.
I don't know about other servers, but on Latin-speaking servers in North America and Europe at least, Elias was the iconic character of the Elder Tail.
I met and traveled with such a hero in the abandoned city of Tekeli.
It was a magical journey, with encounters that may or may not happen again.
Even among the Adventurers, Elias Huckblade was well known to me. Your name is Elias Huckblade," said the Adventurers. The Guardian of the Earthmen. The border-crossing hero of the Thirteenth Order. Many of the adventurers have fought side by side with you. We've heard stories about you.
Shut up.
With a howl, a storm of ice struck.
Elias's magic was out of control, and a wing-like shield of ice grew on his back.
Driven by elation and a sense of mission, Leonardo took another half step into the dead line (dead line).
The falling ice ward magic hurt Leonardo with the size of a spear rather than a dagger. The intermittent decline in HP is as rapid as when he spilled a glass of wine.
''No, I won't shut up. As leader of the Light Bringer at the Citadel of Darkness, he defended the elves, and at the Lair of the Dragons, he and the Adventurer faced off against the evil dragon Zachert. Using his invincible sword technique, Fairy Arts, he sometimes came into conflict with the Adventurers, but it was all for the protection of the Daichijin. There is no doubt that he was the guardian of this world.
The word "guardian" seemed to strike Elias.
His eyes, frozen with eternal grief, looked at Leonardo and seemed to be crying unspeakable tears.
Leonardo was building a bridge now.
He would deliver the goodwill of the hundreds and thousands of good-natured geeks who were supporting Elias. That was his mission as the Deliverer. He had to show this wounded, depressed, dim-witted hero that he was worth something.
I'm well aware of that. I was tricked into being imprisoned by the red-nosed Princess Rubiance. In the story (quest), it was said that he was cajoled and tricked into taking a numbing potion, but in reality, you felt sorry for the poor princess and that's why you took the potion and talked to her. Wasn't it you who left your ashlar spear at the inn when you were hunting the golden boar? I know. I'm ... we're ...
-- what is he, or she, like to you?
Coppelia's thoughtful, quiet question seemed to echo the thoughtful, quiet question.
What kind of person is Elias to Leonardo?
Such an answer is long overdue.
As the only technician (working soldier) who wore a tie in front of clients, he was just too shy to say it.
Of course, there were those who disliked it.
The game is for the player to enjoy. Those who don't like it, simply because they are more powerful than the player and can have adventures that make them feel like the star of the show, do not like it. The fact that Elias's profession as a Blade Mancer was a special one that players couldn't choose from was also a reason for the game's bad reputation.
However, he was even more well-liked than that. His personality, which had been portrayed as arrogant when he first appeared in the game, had become more warm and human over time. Because of this curse, the fact that he always had to rely on the Adventurer for the most important part of his life was also regarded as humorous. He was affectionately (and slightly ridiculously) referred to on the web as "Mr. Elias.
Of course, in everyone's gossip, he was teased, pitied, and even laughed at. From the screen, he desperately pleads for peace, but sometimes he talks about tragedies, such as "My curse sprinkles misfortune....... He's a bit of a disappointing hero.
But he was loved.
He is the representative of the Elder Tail game that I love.
How could he not be loved?
Especially for Leonardo, who wanted to be a hero in this world.
I spent time with him in the Heart of Dreams and in the Tower of the Oracle. I don't know what it is now, but I was with him during the invasion. We walked up the long staircase of twilight together. We climbed up the long stairs at twilight together. You probably don't remember. Then the whole "catastrophe" thing is a downright shitshow. You're a hero to us and to us adventurers.
'What a hero! Because of this curse, I can't even help those who seek me out. I've let my people die. Even the word of death has an echo that binds me. It binds all the old species. If only I could tear these chains apart.
Yes, he would do anything to tear it off.
Elias' expression was drawn and twisted. He must have been depleted of MP from the repeated use of his great technique. He repeatedly breathed like a whistle and his soaked face was not even sure if he was crying or not. That's how much regret there is in Elias.
That pain is felt by Leonardo.
Such a powerful, renowned, and proud legendary hero, Elias-Hackblade. It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.
From twenty-five percent, it will not decrease.
Elias' path was now exhausted here.
This 100-level hero of the Ancient Species was no match for a single assassin. This is why Kanami did not and could not fight Elias seriously. She had become a thousand day old hand to avoid confronting him with this result.
''I will accept any hardship if it means tearing off these chains. In order to protect the land from being taken away, Elias-Hackblade will even throw away fairy blood!
Okay, fine! Come on, Elias! I'll take care of the villain. --I'm going to strangle the amateur (wannabe) who is weak like a frog and has nothing but adoration.
Oddly enough, Elias and Leonardo had roughly twenty-five percent of their remaining HP. With all of that on the line, the two clashed with each other.
