"I hope you're okay, Wolf...
Serara clenched her fists tightly and drew in her breath.
The sumptuous red-carpeted corridor was now silent and somehow dim. Normally, this corridor is not uninhabited by 'adventurers' who are returning from hunting or shopping, but now Serara is alone.
It was probably meaningless, but she was wearing a gray blanket she had pulled out of the guildhouse, which she wore over her head. It was just a consolation prize, to hide my body.
It all happened early in the morning when Serara and the others awoke.
The Guild Hall of the Crescent Moon Alliance was now a rather large headquarters for a medium-sized guild, with nearly twenty rooms.
Sleeping and waking up in one of those rooms, Serara and her guild mates left their bedrooms and gathered in the dining hall. Because that was their usual behavior. Washing their faces and getting their chores done in preparation for breakfast. Serara and the others went through their usual routine, as usual.
The reason why I thought it was strange was when Feiyan, a guild member and ace of the fighting force, said, "Nanami isn't here, this is strange.
I noticed that more than half of the guild members were not there.
It wasn't that unusual for Guild Master Marielle to sleep in, but it seemed impossible that Guirov and Henrietta wouldn't be up until this time.
That doubt quickly turned into a sense of urgency.
This was because Feiyan, who had entered the nursery from the hall to look for Nanami, had not returned intact. The inside of the nursery was an empty shell.
--It's not just a matter of time before he's gone.
After placating and rallying his companions who were on the verge of a panic, he finally came up with a level.
Guild members with higher levels would disappear.
Digging further from there, it seemed possible to narrow down the conditions a bit more.
After level 70 or so, guild members higher than that would disappear when the door was opened and closed.
The reason why he and Feiyan met in the guild's cafeteria was because Feiyan had apparently been sleeping under the cafeteria table, as Ashlynn had testified. Feiyan had been in the diner from the beginning, so he hadn't disappeared. It opened the door and disappeared.
They couldn't even communicate with the guild members who had disappeared, not even the Telekinesis.
All they knew was that something outrageous was occurring.
There were seventeen people gathered in the cafeteria.
All of them, including Serara, were at a level of fifty-eight to a little over sixty.
The 〈Roundtable〉 had recommended that novices and mid-levelers improve their levels, and they often had camps with a leader. The plan to get all of Akiva's residents to level fifty or more had been accomplished more than a few months ago, so in that sense, it was no surprise that Serara and her friends were roughly at the same level.
To begin with, the members gathered in the cafeteria were boys and girls who had been held captive by the villainous guild
Kotaro, Komomo, tate Waki, Death Gazer, Seiya, Masuda, Mezamashi Tomete, Radeve, Kuu, Shinobu Michinya, Nagi, Peco Pizza, Milky, Yuzu and Yupia. Aside from Ashlynn and Celara, they were all friends who joined the Crescent Moon Alliance after that mess.
After huddling our foreheads together and discussing it, we decided that the problem was the level. It may not be true, but Celara and the others don't know that right now. Now that the telekinesis doesn't work, they can't even ask Nyanta for help.
She broke out in a cold sweat as people around her looked at her in a cynical manner.
She is a bit special, or perhaps an outlier, even among the mid-level members of the Crescent Moon Alliance. During the chaotic period immediately following the Great Disaster, Serara was left behind in Susukino, but with the protection of Nyanta, she returned to Akiba as a result of Shiroe's group's rescue mission. Originally a member of the Crescent Moon League, Serara has been frequenting the Horizon of Records ever since.
It was out of a desire not to lose touch with Nyanta, but now she has made close friends in Minori, Touya, Isuzu and Rundel House, who are roughly the same age as her, and the Rekkoku no Horizons has become a place where she can say she belongs to a second guild. The fact that she works with such friends on a daily basis makes her a bit special among the younger members of the
Of course, the younger members of the Crescent Moon Alliance also engage in battle. For the sake of future security, the Roundtable wants to ensure that they can at least reach the 50th level, and the Crescent Alliance is one of the guilds that make up the representative council of the Roundtable. There is no reason not to do so.
However, the Alliance of the Crescent Moon is an exceptional guild in the eyes of the Crescent Moon League.
It is a friendly guild, in other words, Shiroe's guild, with which Marielle, the guild master, has a close relationship, but that's not all.
I heard that the rescue mission, when Serara met Shiroe, was also requested by Marielle and her team because they didn't have the knowledge or fighting skills to carry out the mission. In other words, from the point of view of the Crescent Moon Alliance, the Rekishi no Horizon is an unbelievable fighting guild.
The members of the Rekkord Horizon guild, such as Serara, are regarded by their peers of the same age and level as being "a bit different from us," "very experienced," and "a gentle-looking martial artist.
Of course, Serara would be troubled by such comments, and in fact, she would at least argue with them if they were said. However, when she looks at me with a silent, trusting gaze, I can't say it back just because it's not a word, and in fact, if you think about it, it's not like I haven't participated in at least a few challenging quests, such as the trip to Saphir or the large scale battle (raid) in Sibuya!
From the point of view of Serara, I've just been crying, laughing and making noise with Minori and the others, and doing my best to do what appeared in front of me, but if it is pointed out later, I'll be able to say, "Did you go pretty wild? It's hard to deny that this is the case.
However, I don't want to be asked to do something in such an unknown situation.
It was troubling, but due to the lack of experienced high level people in this diner, someone had to do something, and that someone seemed to be Serara if we went by the process of elimination.
(Ugh. (Sounds scary.)
Serara sat in the corridor with her back to the door that led to the
The next thing Serara thought of was to somehow get in touch with someone at a higher level of the guild, or anyone she knew, and if that wasn't possible, she would at least be able to join up with Minori the Wise.
He couldn't use Telekinesis.
If that was the case, he would have to go on foot to find them, but that idea evaporated like a drop of water on a frying pan and disappeared.
Serara and the rest of the party limped to the steps of the guild hall, where they encountered a raiding monster with a dog's head.
The guild hall had become a dangerous zone for monsters to roam.
The Crescent Moon Alliance's guild house, which they had escaped from, was safe.
But that's why Selara is hiding in the corridor, alone.
''Won't you be back yet?
The door at her back opened narrowly and Ashlynn emerged from it. Her sky-blue one-piece dress was her trademark. Her tatted ears twitched.
'Yeah. I'm not there yet. I'm worried about--'
As she was about to say it, Serara turned around and a bright white chunk slid in from farther down the aisle.
'Wolf-chan!'
Hearing Serara's voice, the white, rotund pup settled down to slam into Serara's bosom as she crouched down, and popped her head out of Serara's arms, moving her arms and legs like a dog paddle.
'How did it go? Is that a close call? Is anyone else safe?
The white pup wolf slurps and jitters as if excited by Serara's question.
The true identity of the wolf called Wolf-chan is a summoned beast.
The summoned beasts, which serve as a versatile aid in attacking, defending, searching for enemies, moving, and assisting, are the specialties of the Summoner, but depending on the target to be summoned, they can be used by other professions as well, and the next best thing to the Summoner is the Forest Curse Master, which is a druid that Celara works for.
In particular, Wolf-chan is a wolf, an animal-type target that druids can use as a summoning beast, and Celara has been working with this pup as a partner since the days of the Forest of Raglander. It was originally a summoned beast that was responsible for Celara's self-defense and attacks, but due to their long association and frequent summonses, their bond with Celara has deepened, and recently they've become much more cooperative, although it's hard to say if that's why.
--even to the point of holding a whisk in her paws and stirring the mayonnaise for me.
'What are they saying?'
Even little Wolf can't talk, so hmmm.
The wolfie whirled around excitedly, trying hard to convey something with her gestures, but eventually, when that wasn't enough, she showed her belly and stuck out her tongue, breathing hard.
As usual, Serara scratches her belly, lowering her eyebrows as if she can't help it, but she finds a note tucked into her collar, still buried in her soft fur.
'Here's your letter!'
...It's Minori!
The short note was from Minori.
That Minori and the others were working with seven people, Touya, Isuzu, Rundelhaus, Akatsuki, and the guest sisters, Lelia and Ritka.
The fact that Wolf-chan's movements revealed that Serara was there and that they were heading to the guild hall.
The monsters in the surrounding area are level sixty-five. This means that if it's Minori, Serara and the others, it's not impossible to win if you're careful enough. And if possible, they should be able to pick them up at the main entrance hall of the guild hall.
Minori and the others have determined from the information that the mastermind behind the incident, the boss, is lurking on the top floor of the guild hall.
And--
'It looks like it's going to be a large scale battle (raid).
"Huh?
Serara muttered as she read the last line.
No, it was a stronger voice than just a mutter.
'Ashlyn, tell Tomete and Yuzu. The six of us are going out together. The rest of you, make lunch! And then I want all the... uh, all the water potions you can find.
Eww. Yes, sir!
Not even waiting for Ashlynn to rush in the door with a flurry, Selara said, "I'll be right there! I only added a scribble, "Seventeen people over here," and then tucked the note back into Wolf-chan's neck as he sat loyal and looked up at me.
'Wolf-chan. You know what Minori-chan smells like, right? Again, please! It's important!
Serara's faithful white circle wolf did not let the same instructions happen twice.
With a woof (which he seemed to think was dignified), he ran off down the deserted corridor with such force that his limbs melted into the air.
Serara watched it go and withdrew into the guildhouse.
She had to gather her friends and go get Minori and the others right away.
There will be a battle. But if Minori says so, it should be possible to break through.
◆4.05
"Thank God, Serara.
Thank you for welcoming me!
Minori and the other seven who had rolled into the guild house of the Crescent Moon Alliance, and the six who had come to greet them. Minori and Celara, who were the last to occupy the door, looked at the country-style welcoming space at the entrance of the guild house, catching their breath, relieved.
''This door is okay, right?''
Yeah, I don't think the Spotted Demon was ever going to get in there.
Hearing Serara's answer, Minori finally took a breath.
The level of the monsters that patrolled the city was sixty-five, party rank.
That was as expected, and although they were of a higher rank, it didn't mean they couldn't compete with them. Minori's level was fifty-nine, but Touya was sixty-three. It was also good to see that Rundelhaus, who kept up with the battle, had also raised his level to sixty-one. It's not an easy win, but it's enough to compete.
However, that was just a matter of being able to fight.
The city of Akiba is a dungeon right now. Minori clearly changed her perception and told her companions as much.
As was the case in the Forest of Raglanda, dungeons are not something that can be overcome if you are higher than the monsters.
Even if you fight against a group of Ash-Spotted Demons (Noor) and win, if another monster finds you in the middle of a battle, you will be invaded and overrun by violence of numbers.
This time, the monsters patrolling the ground aren't the only enemies. There are also chain-spitting bats that fly in the sky and swoop down silently, as well as devouring sludge (Orcs Jelly) that lurk in the shadows and don't give you any indication of their presence until they attack.
If it wasn't for the information memo written by Liese and Akatsuki's covert search for the enemy, it would have been difficult to reach the guild hall. The fact that this is the first time you have attacked a dungeon, and that you have insufficient information on the terrain and enemy placement, can be such a big disadvantage when stepping into a dungeon.
''But we managed to fight it,''
I'm so glad Selara and the others came to get me.
It was a little funny that Akatsuki was thanking them with his chest. Minori and the others were seven, and one person was abused from the six members of the party system. It was Akatsuki who took on that role and kept checking the hostility of the direction of travel so that he would always be protruding forward from the party.
(Lovely and beautiful...)
Minori thinks so.
On top of that, she has a lot of adorable qualities.
She's shy, so she's quick to go away, but she still hides and watches over me. Whenever Akatsuki leads me on a hunt, he does so. The fact that Akatsuki now has the grace of the Shihan System and is with us is the result of her level synchronization with us from the day before the expedition.
It hurts my heart to see her with Shiroe. But at the same time, Minori also has the feeling of being a dependable family member. You can't hate them.
''More importantly, it's the future.
That story must have already been passed on to the members of the
I was invited to the dining room, where several wooden boxes were lined up on the huge dining table in the center. Water potions, pearls, and spells - all of which have varying degrees of power, but all of which have the potential to be consumable items. The Crescent Moon League is not a guild that focuses on fighting, but a guild that supports its members in their daily lives, so there is a large inventory of artisan-made items.
Nevertheless, ninety percent of the items piled up would be useless. In Elder Tail, items have an item level, and only items of the appropriate item level based on the user's level can be used or are impractical. In Minori, an item with an item level above Minori's level of fifty-nine cannot be equipped or used, while an item with too low a level, say less than forty-nine, is less effective and meaningless even if it can be used.
I guess everyone knows that. The expressions on the faces of the seventeen members of the
''Right now, Akiba has turned into a dungeon due to a mysterious phenomenon.
Prompted by Serara with a glance, Minori began to speak anyway.
The members of the Crescent Moon Alliance wouldn't know what was going on in Akiva's city.
She felt she had to report first.
''There is an outbreak of monsters in the city and in large buildings like this guild hall. All three types, Ash-Spotted Dog Demon (Noor), Chain Spitting Bat (Chain Bat) and Devouring Sludge (Orcs Jelly) are all leveled at sixty-five. However, there seem to be a few others that are unidentified.
Perhaps because he usually reported the day's activities to Shiroe, he was able to speak that much sloppily.
'According to Shiroe's prediction, there should be a boss monster in the upper level of this guild hall, probably the source of the anomaly.
I saw a few people gasp.
It was no wonder they were surprised. From the point of view of the members of the 〈Crescent Moon Alliance〉, it was like being told that a demon had taken up residence on the top floor of the apartment building they were living in.
''Maybe, but there are no more high-level people in this Akiba.... I think those who are above the 70 level are forced to lower their level and are sent to the temple or out of Akiba.
Minori felt sorry for him because she could understand his anxiety.
It's not that Minori confidence caused anything or did anything wrong, but the members here are not veterans who are accustomed to large scale combat (raids) even in Akiba. Rather, they belong to the thin end of the spectrum when it comes to experience.
''Then........''
I'll just be a minute.
But!
I don't blame them for buzzing around like that.
But--
''Yes. The closest solution for the time being is for these members here to engage in a large scale battle (raid).''
In Minori's opinion, the closest and most decisive force at the front lines are the members of the
But I think it will be difficult.
These members are the best Minori can think of, and that's true even if there were five or six veterans in the mix, I can assure you. Minori's current understanding of coordination for large scale combat (raids) requires that the members know each other at a minimum. So, from Minori's point of view, these members are undoubtedly the strongest.
However, that doesn't mean that the seventeen members in front of them have to accept Minori's invitation to join them, which is not a rule.
''But it's a large scale battle (raid), right? I don't know if we can do that...
But if we don't do it, how long is this gonna go on? Is it?
'I don't know the details.' -- if we wait, it might work out, or something worse might happen. But....
Minori politely replied to the anxious and buzzing members of the team, but she still felt that she wasn't reaching them.
I would like to explain as politely as possible, but there is no way that Minori (or anyone else in Akiba, for that matter) would have a lot of information about a battle that hasn't been fought yet.
He wanted to encourage his anxious friends, but there was no way he could guarantee a certain victory.
I want to be sincere, but if I am sincere, it's impossible for me to invite everyone to join me.
The thought of being across the board cut off Minori's words.
But there is no follow-up to the "but".
The one who reached out to Minori was her twin brother.
Let's do it!
Touya called out in a strong voice.
''Let's do it. A massive battle (raid)! Because if you do, you'll win.
You could lose, you know?
Touya nodded strongly to the anxious bespectacled girl. It was a question that Minori didn't want to be asked, but Touya would rather have said it well! I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get away with it," he said, repeating his words as if to say.
You may lose this massive battle (raid), but..... You can beat 'I'll get by if I wait and see'.
Touya assured him hotly, more passionately than ever.
With that word, the tide turned.
'Touya, what do you mean?'
Huh? D-Does, what's going on?
The only people who didn't understand were the Rundell House, Serara, the Mofur sisters and Ashlynn.
Tohja pointed out, in a roundabout way, to life in the Hameln, where they worked until they were knee-deep in exhaustion and had no warm bedding.
They worked until their knees were too tired to support themselves, had no warm bedding, and sat in their room, smelling badly of rotten food. I hadn't given up, but I felt guilty about having hope, and I spent long hours regretting my stupidity. Every day I repeat the vain hope that someone will help me and the self-denial that there is no one to help me.
Most of the twenty-four people who gathered in the dining hall remembered this. That's because these members were the ones who escaped from that place and came to the
Because Minori and Touya were also in that night.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Let's do it.
Yeah. You can do it. Now you can.
You just have to fight.
It's easy!
It wasn't a massive battle (raid) that Touya invited, but a redo of that night.
On the night of that escape, Hameln's prisoners escaped en masse at Minori's call, but that was only because of the rescue of Shiroe and the others. So, "Let's do it again," was all Touya had said.
Ignited by his words, his companions nodded, their mouths pulled together in a straight line. Some of them even smiled wryly. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find a way to make it work. It's not that I don't have feelings of anxiety.
But even more than that, I didn't want to leave those memories behind.
Perhaps Minori's feelings had waned after she was put into the recording horizon. He didn't think he'd slept around Shiroe, but he was past the various adventures he'd had. But the friends from that night when they were huddled together in the
Minori looked at Touya, feeling a bit sulky after being able to put the story together well, and averted her gaze when she was met with a wide smile. This is how Touya can easily do things that Minori can't. He's a good friend and proud brother, but that doesn't mean he doesn't regret it.
To that Touya, "Explain in detail! Prompted, Minori took a deep breath.
''........Okay. Let's do it. But it should be almost everyone's first time in a large scale battle (raid). We can't take the time to train, but at least be prepared and listen to what we have to say.
"It's the information that counts. You have to gather as much as you can.
While remembering Shiroe's booklet, Minori spun her words.
''Akatsuki-san, could you, well... could you ask me to scout out the route to the upper echelon?''
Of course.
Well, and then, first of all...
Minori regained her spirits. No hesitation, no upset, no anxiety or frustration would be allowed in the future. He knew that such an opportunity, if there was one, was long overdue.
Minori would become a large-scale conductor (raid leader) for the first time from today onwards.
◆4.06
The large-scale battle (raid) has finally begun.
The group ran through the long corridor on the fifth floor, where the Crescent Moon Alliance's guild house is located, and headed for the stairwell. In the vaulted hall, there are "Ash Spotted Dog Demons" (Noor), but they are easily defeated.
To begin with, this group of sub-humans is a party-ranked monster that should be fought by six adventurers of about 65 levels. With twenty-four men, they are not an enemy to be feared so much.
Of course, if they were surrounded by groups of people from front to back and left to right, they would not be able to do so, but right now Minori and the others are in a position to use their troop tactics to their advantage.
In addition to monsters, the dungeon's terrain, traps, and structure are also a challenge in the case of various large-scale battles (raids) that Shiroe told me about, but this time it was a familiar guild hall. Minori is familiar with this huge building due to the administrative work of the , and it is also the building where the children of the
Moreover, Akatsuki's advance reconnaissance was effective. It's true that we are on high alert for the top level, the Sixth Tilt Princess Room, and we have information that a large number of monsters have come and gone.
If we knew that much, all we had to do was to take Team A in the lead and run at a small pace while Team C and D destroyed the enemies at high speed.
The road was smooth, but it's not as if Minori didn't have any difficulties. Rather, Minori was desperately trying to do what she could only do now.
'At any rate, know your allies. That's the basic point of arrival. Information isn't just about the enemy. It's the allies that are important. And sharing the information you get is also important.'
As a twenty-four man (full) large-scale battle (raid), the twenty-four men should be placed in four six-man parties to form a coalition unit.
However, before we make that arrangement, we should mention the entirety of the twenty-four members.
In terms of levels, the highest level is Touya's sixty-three. The lowest level is Ashlyn's fifty-eight.
This distribution is not bad. It's especially good news that Touya's first defender, the so-called 'prima defender' or 'main shield', is at level 63.
According to the Siloe Memo, the overall level of this large scale battle (raid) is sixty-five. In the Elder Tail era, this would have meant that the game content would have been challenging at sixty levels. The level of the first defender, the most important in the entire large formation, has a three-level advantage over that standard, which is a considerable advantage in terms of strength.
On the other hand, there are some concerns about the role distribution. The twenty-four players consisted of four warrior positions, ten recovery positions, seven weapon attack positions, and three magic attack positions. The number of magic attackers and warriors is overwhelmingly small and unbalanced.
The recovery position is the foundation of the organization. I want at least six of them.
Although that was the case in Shiroe's memo, ten people was too many at any price. There aren't enough magic attackers for that.
It's still good for now. The enemies are party rank and there aren't too many of them. If we surround them with our numbers and attack them, we can win with room to spare.
However, the booklet Shiroe wrote also contained examples of various large scale battles (raids).
Large-scale battles (raids) that test our defense capabilities.
A large scale battle (raid) to test our recovery ability.
A large scale battle to test our physical attack capabilities (raid).
A large scale battle (raid) that tests your magic attack ability.
This team lacks magical attack ability, or attribute attack ability. For example, if a powerful raid boss appears that has great defensive capabilities against physical attack abilities and has the ability to recover hit points as an added bonus, the team will be in danger.
In the meantime, the invasion continues.
The sludge (Orcs Jelly) flows out with the force of a door being kicked down. Touya's assault cuts through the muddy stream.
Minori instructed the team, which ran up the aerial staircase, which was probably an escalator originally, to take the lead.
''Lead change! C team, charge in and play shield (tank) as it is!
Yes, sir.
Selara-chan, Ritka-chan and Yuzu-san, please shift your focus to covering the attack. Leave the recovery to those around you! Tate Waki-san, please step forward!
Minori gave attack instructions to the recovery profession.
It was rare for the recovery profession to use a lot of magic attacks in the six-man group's normal hunting and other activities. The reason for this is that they are afraid of consuming too much MP to "deal damage", which can be done by other professions, and neglecting the important tasks of recovery and resuscitation.
Hence, recovery professions in general are often evasive even when they are instructed to attack. This is because they are afraid of the guilt they will feel if they suffer injuries as a result. However, in a team with an overabundance of recovery workers, these instructions are necessary.
'When you give instructions, call out names and make individual requests. Think about the direction the person wants to take. If you take a closer look at the person's equipment, you'll get a hint of their play style. It's not a good idea to give generalized instructions like, "People in recovery should...
He followed Shiroe's booklet and followed the instructions as closely as possible, but he wasn't sure if it was good or not. Minori doesn't know why she should name them individually and give them instructions.
But he continues to believe that there must be some reason.
Because it's the only thing Minori can do.
Serara understands. It's because Minori knows that the style of the hunt is to assist the attack by Wolf-chan, the summoned beast, and to check it with jamming magic, since they're together in their normal hunting.
I've only known Litka for a short time, but I think she's more of a "forest spellcaster" (druid) than a summoner. The long staff (staff) with the penguin statue on it may also be capable of magical attacks.
Yuzu and tate-waki are my guess based on their equipment. Yuzu's divination shield 《Villaboard》 and tate-waki's two-handed curved sword (shamseal) were the reason, but they didn't seem to miss.
''Are you sure? We're making progress!
'Yay! A thud of the wood!
The rushing tate side is happily moving into white army combat, while Ritka (not sure if it's helping or not) is summoning small mushrooms and sending them to the front lines more and more.
'The basics of large scale combat (raids) are twenty-four (full raids). The basic principle of large scale battle (full raid) is 24 men (full raid). This is called formation. Formation is the first step in starting a large scale battle (raid)'
Minori recalls the text in the booklet.
It's an adoring scripture that, to Minori, reminds her of Shiroe's voice (alto), which is the most relieving of all. 'The placement of members should be balanced. The warrior and recovery positions are wanted in every party. Especially important is the first party. Especially important is the first party, the most reliable warrior and preferably three different classes of recuperator. I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them," he said.
Just before the sortie, Minori made four teams according to his teachings.
Team A was Touya, Minori, Litka, Komomo, Akatsuki and Ashlin.
In a sense, this was the most important team in a large-scale battle (raid). The defender is Touya, a samurai. She will be supported by the three recovery jobs, the Kannagi, the Druid, and the Cleric, as well as the Assassin, to further stabilize her, and the Assassins will assist with the hate. Ashlyn is the lowest level, but she is the only enchanter on the team. Although she won't be able to attack, she is a vital part of the team's MP recovery.
The second is the first antechamber or raid. I want two recovery cards.
The B team consists of Mezamashi Tomete, Selara, Kuu, Yupia, Masuda and Milky. Mezamashi Tomete, the only Guardian of the team, was assigned to the B team. I wasn't sure whether or not to leave her as the first line of defense, but due to her level and the number of places, I decided to leave it to Touya and ask her to help out as a reserve. The leader of the party is Serara, a druid from the Forest Curse Master. |You're going to have to have a lot more than just a few minutes to get the job done. I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it than you think. Masuda is the Bard, and Milky is the Swashbuckler. Since there is only one Thief (Swashbuckler) in particular, his powerful debuff ability is a must-have.
The third and fourth should be used sparingly for recovery. This is the basic idea. --This is just a basic idea, though the details will vary for each large scale battle (raid). If you don't have enough offensive power, the battle will often drag on and you'll be impoverished.
The C-team was a firepower team with main magic attacks. Shinobu Michinya, tate Waki, Radeep, Isuzu, Rundelhaus, and Nagi. Rundelhaus and Nagi, two valuable Sorcerers, were in charge of attacking magic, and they asked Isuzu, the Bard, to protect them and manage their MP. Protecting them are the samurai Shinobu-no-chan, the Druid and the Kannagi.
The D team excels at physical attacks. The sisters' older sisters are Lelia, Kotaro, Yuzu, Death Gazer, Seiya and Peco Pizza. This team is biased with a martial artist (monk), two forest spellcaster (druid) and three assassins, but it can't be helped. To begin with, the entire team is biased.
It takes a long time for a team to get to know each other's abilities in depth and work together. That's what makes major combat guilds so strong. There is a huge difference in the time spent practicing coordination proficiency itself, before there is a difference in equipment or knowledge.
Compared to that, this improvised team would be hollow.
They don't have the time to train, and the idea of cooperation has not yet taken root.
To begin with, the members were assigned just before the sortie, less than thirty minutes had passed.
It helps that most of them know each other as members of the Crescent Moon Alliance and the Horizon of Records, and most of them have memories of the miserable and depressing days in Hamelin.
Because of that experience, everyone is willing to listen to the words of Minori and others. The feeling that we must work together to fight is strong.
The commander (raid leader)'s job is to build a winning team. The result of a battle is the result of team building.
But still, the four professions are not well balanced, and they don't have the moves to cover each other well.
''Follow me!''
Let's move on!
The Guild Hall is another of the countless ruins of ancient buildings in this Seldesia world. There may have been an elevator working in the ancient past, but of course it's not operating now.
Minori and the rest of the group crashed through the elevator hall and headed for the stairwell. I opened the steel fire door to find an inorganic space with a pale mint green staircase up and down, protected by linoleum.
The chain-spitting bats that descend from the skies above reveal another weakness of the team. It was the lack of an anti-aircraft attacker. Even so, the group continued onward, burning down the bats with the help of Rundelhaus.
If they stopped walking, they would be surrounded by the amount of enemy material.
Reading the timing of the enemy's attack, they would take more and more positions in front of them while destroying them. By repeating this process, you will push up the front line.
This is the only time before a boss battle, the time before a raid, when you have the chance to deepen your cooperation with each other. That short window of time is ticking away.
Destination found!
"Let's blow it up! We're going to blow it up! Let's go, Rudy!
Yes!
I'm here too.
With Isuzu's help, Rundelhaus, Nagi and two Sorcerers unleash a dazzling lightning bolt that paints the area white. Then the assassins danced into the area at once and subdued it.
At the end of the corridor, where the smell of ozone fills the air, the group looks at each other. Beyond this door is clearly the site of a decisive battle.
''We need to take a break, but given time, there's a good chance the mooks will gather there.
Minori and everyone else nodded at Akatsuki's words.
''Ladies and gentlemen, the recovery potion, it's hard to use in battle, so drink it. Also. And something to drink! And sandwiches!
The group sips their drinks at Serara's panicked and slightly panicked words. Her gaze is strong and her intentions seem to be firm as she wipes it roughly with her arm.
I wanted to spend more time with them.
We were just beginning to get to know each other a little better.
I know that if we talked and trained, we could become stronger.
There was a combination I wanted to try.
There was a series of moves I wanted to try.
Still, the time for training was over.
'Are you ready? Gentlemen.
Preparations are not good at all, Minori smiled as if to break the unconsciousness.
'Don't dwell on the preparations. Don't be afraid of inadequacy.''
Shiroe's words still drive Minori to this day. There were many things I wanted to do, but this is the best I can do for now. Rewinding it again doesn't seem to make a dramatic improvement. Minori and the others brought the best they could carry and arrived at this door.
''We'll have a decisive battle at the back here. ........Let's go!
Oh! The echoes of "I'm going to have to do this. A fierce battle is surely in store.
The resolution of the case is already in front of us.
