A reddish-brown horizon that seemed to go on forever. The four-man PT was battling with a group of monsters amidst a cloud of dust from the wind. A large number of magical stones were already lying around at the feet of the four of them.

　Tsutomu, who was floating in the sky above, was observing the PT's movements from above while releasing his support skills. Below him, Garum is dealing with seven earth-colored orcs, while Camille and Amy are working together to scrape the wyvern.

　Tsutomu used his internal clock to tick off the effect time of Garum's protection and the two hasteners, but he was also wary of the wyvern's spine flying and the orc's bow. Garum manages to position himself so that he's not surrounded, but he prevents the orc attacks with his large shield and bounces back with his sometimes-even shield bash to prevent them from attacking him all at once.

　However, since the orcs are also a little more intelligent, they are trying to surround you as much as possible and attack you all at once to cut down on Garum. The garmes are constantly exposed to the attacks of the orcs and have no time to drink their potions. Although he avoids the head and other vital points, clubs and long swords strike his torso and legs, slowly driving Garum down.


'Heel.'


　From above, Tsutomu's heel will land on Garum with pinpoint accuracy to heal him. However, the hate on the monster that is earned by the recovery and support skills will earn the hate of all the monsters in the place, unlike the individual hate from other attacks and other attacks. When a rear-guard orc, who hadn't been attacked by Garum for a while, was about to take a bow at Tsutomu.


''Combat Cry.''


　A red fighting spirit spreads out of the garm and envelops the entire orc. Combat Cry. This is a skill that forcibly stimulates the fighting instincts of those who have been exposed to the red air. Orcs with bows that have been exposed to this skill will have their fighting instincts stimulated and will naturally shoot their bows at Garum.

　Even if it is intelligent, it is only a monster. If they are as intelligent and calm as humans, they can overcome their fighting instincts and attack Tsutomu, but there is no monster that can nullify their skills.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for when you're ready to buy. The stamina of Garum, whose VIT is A-, is much higher than usual.

　And while Garm attracts seven orcs, Camille and Amy can focus on the wyvern. Of the two wyverns, one of them had already transformed into a magic stone.

　With a warning roar, the wyvern swung its serpentine tail wide and sent the arrowhead-like spines at its tip flying at them. Camille dodged upwards and Amy dodged downwards, but flew through the air with her fly, closing in on the wyvern.


'Twin Wave Slash!'


　An invisible slash flew from it as Amy stacked the twin swords to cut open the sky. As it was, while muttering repeatedly in a whisper, Amy sent several twin-wave slashes flying towards the wyvern.

　With each swing of her twin swords, the wyvern's wings were carved. Just as the Wyvern flapped its wings as it flapped its wings to escape to the ground under the stormy, invisible slash, iron violence cut off the Wyvern's leg from its side.

　With one leg cut off by Camille, the Wyvern lost its stance in the air and fell to the ground. A great sword pierced its torso from above.


''Enchanted Flame.''


　The great sword covered in flames burns away the internal organs of the wyvern. The wyvern disappeared as a particle of light. When the sensation of the great sword that had been stuck in his flesh disappeared, Camille drew the great sword that had been stuck in the ground and approached the earth-colored orcs that were rushing to Garum from behind.


'Haste. Camille!　Five Burn from the west!　East kung fu more than a dozen of them!　Dragonization anytime!


　As Tsutomu called out loudly from the sky as he flew his hazing at Amy, Camille answered by raising her hand to hear Tsutomu's voice from above.


'Dragonization.'


　Camille begins to dragonize as she runs into a group of orcs. Red light leaked out of the red scales that were thinly clinging to her body, and red wings sprouted out of her long red hair that reached her back as she broke through.

　She accelerated at once as Camille stomped on the ground. A silver sword line passed through. In the blink of an eye, the orc's arms flew off, and by the time the orc recognized it, its head was flying off. Amy followed Camille's lead and unleashed her skills.


''Double Attack.''


　Two consecutive blows with the twin swords performed in an instant. The orc knelt to the ground after receiving it in both legs, and its muscular, strong neck was sliced open with ease. After the blue blood stained the ground, the orc turned into particles and disappeared, with no trace of blood.

　Camille in her dragonized state is exactly the kind of rampage that the word "one-horse race" is perfect for. There is no monster in the canyon that can stop Camille from being granted a Haste. Her current strength was no less powerful than the deputy clan leader who had the most combat power in the Maze Control Squad.

　Tsutomu placed the Haste at her feet. Camille consciously stepped through the blue Haste that came out to ooze softly on the ground, and her AGI (agility) increased by one level.

　The skill to be placed has a slight occurrence delay (hasseichien) from the time the name of the skill is released until it occurs, which requires Tsutomu to predict ahead of Camille's fast movement. It is very difficult for Tsutomu to predict this perfectly, and even now he is not able to do it with certainty.

　However, even if Tsutomu doesn't place his haste precisely at Camille's feet, the success rate of his placement skill is almost one hundred percent because Camille is aware of the haste and touches it properly.

　Tsutomu's time management and his vision to be able to predict Camille's moves even while watching Garum and Amy. And Camille is properly aware of Tsutomu's haste in battle. It's a partnership that is possible only because of those two.

　After annihilating the orcs, the two of them drop back and release a combat cry to the wyvern and kangkhugaroo crowd, followed by Garum, who has been granted protection. The monsters that had been focused on Tsutomu, who had released his support skills, began to head towards Garum, fueled by his fighting spirit.


'Attacker, wyvern priority. Garum, please attract kung fu garou.


　Camille and Amy followed Tsutomu's instructions and took charge of the five wyverns, while Garum intercepted more than a dozen kangkhugaroo.

　The wyvern's spines have a powerful paralyzing poison, and if Garum was hit by it, his body would not be able to move. Even with Tsutomu's medic, if he stopped moving even for a moment, he would receive a fatal blow from the monster.

　The higher the VIT, the more sturdy it is. The higher your VIT, the stronger the divine protection you will receive, and the more powerful you will be able to withstand blows and slashes that would kill you instantly if you were an ordinary human being.

　However, the divine blessing also has a weakness. Kryptonite of the human body. It is difficult for the God's blessing to work on vital points such as the neck and left chest.

　Therefore, if Garum stops moving and is struck by a vital point, it will be a fatal or critical attack and there is a chance that Garum will collapse. For this reason, you must hunt paralytic poisoned wyverns as a priority to keep them in place even for a moment. For this reason, the two attackers had been instructed by Tsutomu to prioritize aiming at the wyvern.

　A flying wyvern is like an insect being pecked at by a bird as it loses its legs and wings. Camille's battle against the wyvern in its dragonized state is now in the realm of slaughter. The wyvern is inferior in speed and power, and Camille has the breath for long range attacks.

　Amy chops up the wyvern that fell to the ground after Camille took away its wings and legs, turning it into magical stones. While avoiding the countless magic stones lying on the ground, Amy stops one after another the wyverns falling from the sky.

　The first thing to do is to use your shield or arm to catch the kicks and fist thrusts of more than a dozen kangkhugaroo, then move away from them and repeat the process of flipping them off with a shield bash. If it's a blow, it can't be a fatal attack as long as it doesn't get hit in the face, etc., so Garum makes sure that he doesn't take only critical attacks.

　By the time the blows he receives to his arms and other parts of his body are overlapping and only slightly painful, he is healed by a heel from Tsutomu in the sky, and the wound heals quickly. When the kangfugaroo that wasn't played by the shield bash begins to turn toward Tsutomu, Garum activates a Combat Cry. That loop will stabilize the battle situation and allow the attacker to show his full strength.

　She skips protection and heels by paying attention to Garum's protection and attrition, and makes her step on the Haste, which she anticipates and places ahead of Camille's quick moves, with plenty of time to spare before time runs out. And thanks to Amy's attention to Tsutomu's support skills, she can make it just in time for her support skills to take effect, so she doesn't gain any extra hate. Moreover, her strike is light, which makes it easy to manage the hate, and she also has enough firepower because of her critical attacks.

　The battle situation is spinning smoothly. They are aware of each other's movements, and they take pride in the fact that they are able to draw out the maximum amount of their strength by adapting themselves to it. Tsutomu naturally released his support skills while raising the corners of his mouth.

　Then the two attackers who had finished defeating the wyvern joined Garum. The kangfugaroo was being cut down by those two and turned into more and more magical stones, and Amy, who had killed the last one, took a breath and waved to Tsutomu in the sky.

　After checking his surroundings, Tsutomu swiftly descends toward Amy from above. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's been in the same boat as you.


''It's hard to pick them all up,''
"Hey, hey, Tsutomu!　I even played seven straight games!
'Yes. Do you think we can make it another thirteen rounds in a row?
'Ho, I'm afraid I could really do that...'


　Amy smiled dryly at Tsutomu as he lowered his magic bag with a shy smile, while holding a hand full of magic stones. The four of us retrieved more and more magic stones that had fallen, bringing the total to 116.

　Tsutomu, who was tired of the considerable amount of work it took to just pick up those magic stones, thought again that he'd still like to have a luggage carrier. Even if he didn't participate in the battle, just picking up the magic stones during the battle would increase the efficiency of the search.

　However, there is no one to carry luggage until they have crossed the fifty levels. I'm not sure if I can ignore the fact that only the luggage carrier is the highest tier, and Tsutomu turned his tired right arm around while dissatisfied with that system.


''Yah, I'm tired. Good job.''
I'm not done yet, am I?
Me too, me too!


　Tsutomu appeased the two attackers who were excited to finish their seventh consecutive game without difficulty, while handing a towel to Garum, who was sweating a lot and had wet bangs.


Garum is also tired.
"Mm.


　Garum received a towel and wiped the sweat from his face with a scrubbing motion. His hair was ruffled as he wiped his head with the towel as well, and his black dog ears stood out in it as if to assert their presence.

　After receiving a slightly wet towel from Garum, Tsutomu put it away in his magic bag and handed each of them a water bottle to rehydrate. After moistening his dry throat with barley tea, Tsutomu took his mouth away from the canteen.


''The battle was pretty good, wasn't it? Well then, let's get on with it and go home to find Kuromon. It's going to be evening soon.''
Oh, is it that time already?　I want to go more.


　Amy's lips twitched as if she hadn't played with them enough yet. Garum looked sideways at Amy while parting her slightly sweaty bangs.


'At this rate, we should be able to reach the fifty-nine levels tomorrow. There's no need to push yourself.''
'Yes, yes. Thank you for your big, serious doggie feedback.
I'm looking forward to the fire dragon battle. Your hapless appearance will be broadcast live.
'Huh!　You're the one getting trampled by the fire dragon again!　Die once!
You're dead.
What?　Motivation?


　Garum looks down at Amy with a cold stare, and Amy is about to pounce on Garum while stretching her toes. Camille raises her hands to her sides in relief as she looks at them, and Tsutomu shrugs his shoulders in sympathy as he moves closer to them.


'Schoolboy?'


　Tsutomu stood taller and chopped lightly at their heads. Garum's face fell down as if he was sorry and Amy looked up at Tsutomu in frustration.


'It's been a long time since I've been here, so I can see why you're excited, but you two need to moderate yourselves.
He attacked me!　It's not my fault!
"...I was provoked by this cat. I was just being right. It's this guy's fault.
'No, I won't give support or recovery skills to anyone who tells a PT member to die.
Oh, so that means I'll have it all to myself. Well, that's nice.


　The first thing you need to do is to have Camille hold you by the shoulders from behind, and although she was a little surprised, she didn't crack a smile. The two of them quickly approached Tsutomu when they noticed his ostensible smile.


''Yeah!　No, no, no!　I'm sorry!
"Sorry, Tsutomu.


　Camille giggled hilariously as the two of them rubbed up against Tsutomu, and Tsutomu broke into a blunt expression and clapped them on the shoulder.


'Look, I'm going home for the day. I'm tired, you know.


　They nodded in agreement with Tsutomu's words, and Tsutomu followed Camille, who emerged on the fly with a laugh at the sight of the two men who had become so obedient.
