168-Boundary of limits




 Diniel had lost his motivation when he saw the particles shimmering near Korina. Diniel, who had been out of range of the range attack, had seen Melcho die from a direct hit to a huge rock that had flown in to protect Korina.

 But if he was going to die so easily from that degree, he wouldn't have lived this long in the first place. This was a man who had walked across the battlefields of death once for several decades, and even though he was old, he still broke the record for consecutive victories in the martial arts competition. There was no way he could be killed by something like Mount Golem.

 Besides, Diniel had also deliberately died many times to make it easier for him to die with the Golden Probe, so he knew that Melcho would have died on purpose, pretending to protect Corina.


''Kuh-ah.''


 Sleepily absent-mindedly, Diniel brought out his errand arrow and shot the mounted golem. It didn't matter to Diniel why Melcho had died on purpose. As long as she could have an easy time. The unknown that is God's dungeon appeals to Diniel, but there are plenty of other interesting things to do.

 Diniel, who thought she wouldn't be pissed off if her client, Melcho, was going to die on purpose, would not be pissed off if she didn't have the motivation to do it, immediately darted her eyes and began to cut corners. Diniel, who had originally made the calculation to be able to break through the Mounted Golem with Melcho included, no longer has to try hard.

 Daryl will eventually reach his limit and the tank collapses as the first Xeno dies often. If he tried hard enough, he could mimic Tank a bit, but Diniel was originally unwilling to do anything about this fight anyway. The reason why Tsutomu sent these members to the 70th level with a request for money is also incomprehensible to Diniel, as is Melcho, who readily agreed to it. From her point of view, it's like being forced to babysit.

 However, the healer, Corina, had been a bit surprised. The first time I saw the seventy levels, and that was high on the list of things that a prayer warrior would not be able to do to maintain the war situation, but surprisingly, she has managed to keep it up to this point.

 It was not able to provide any support to the attackers, but it was able to provide sufficient support and recovery to the tanks. And for some reason, he was able to revive in just a few minutes, which was a shortcoming of the prayer warrior. Diniel, who had actually been in a PT with the Prayer Master, was a little impressed by Corina's quick revival.

 But that was as far as it would go. Xeno and Melcho died at the same time, and Korina used the wish to revive twice. He couldn't expect Melcho to die on purpose, and Daryl was about to reach his limit, so he couldn't earn the hate. And if Korina was targeted, she would die quickly since she didn't have any skills such as barriers, and then she would be jittery. So Diniel wove in poor quality arrows to save the expensive ice arrows and made it look like he was fighting.

 Healer Corina noticed such a cut-throat effort on Diniel's part, but as an attacker, she couldn't voice her opinion. Corina simply folded her hands together as if to atone for her sins and solemnly gave support recovery to Daryl, and then approached him as he was being beaten away by the mounted golem with a tearful face.


''I'm sorry! Mr. Xeno, we have about five minutes to revive you!


 Corrina says as her long cream-colored hair flutters in the wind pressure of the mounted golem's waving arms, but Daryl doesn't have time to return the words. The mount golem, which has turned bright red, is moving better and better as time passes, as if his body is getting used to it.

 The eyes that foresee Corina's death. The Reaper's eyes can't necessarily foresee everything. Since Korina is always looking at the God's table, she is able to sense the circumstances in which the searchers will die. But again, there are things that can only be understood in actual combat, so she sometimes misses her prediction when dealing with an opponent for the first time.

 Besides, Merchou's sudden death, which didn't seem like a sign of death, made Korina a little upset. Melcho died shielding himself from a rock that could have been avoided. To be honest, I can't deny that I feel like I died in an unnecessary way, and I don't know how I feel about it.

 And even Daryl has already begun to feel a hint of death from a while ago. That hint of death became even more pronounced after hearing Korina's impatient voice.

 Corina had just cut off Melcho and prayed to Zeno and Daryl to revive her, so she no longer had the mental strength to spare. And this situation where Daryl's death was starting to become more dense. Prayers don't have the skill of a barrier to protect themselves like white mages do, so they can't do the pseudo-avoidance tank that Tsutomu did before. If Daryl died and Korina was targeted, she would be killed in a heartbeat.


'Blessed Light'.


 The word "choking," popped into Corina's head. Drinking the tasteless blue potion as she stirred, Corina folded her hands as she looked at Daryl.

 She's tempted to give up like Diniel, who's skipping out on his own. With a hint of death filling the air, I don't think Daryl will be able to survive the Mounted Golem's onslaught for another five minutes. Sometimes you can't predict death because you can't see the prediction, but once you can see it, you can't miss it. That was no good, Korina was sure of it.

 No matter how much supportive recovery he tried to do, no matter how much he tried to resuscitate her by anticipating her death, when he couldn't win, he couldn't win. That was something she had experienced so badly when she was working with the mediation PT. It would be a different story if he was able to play multiple roles like Tsutomu, but he couldn't do that even if he stood on his head.

 No matter how hard you try, the result will not change. Corrina has also experienced the reverse, being revived and getting pissed off. That's why she feels it's faster to annihilate them all and start over.


'A wish for healing. A holy wish.


 But Daryl is the only one who hasn't given up yet. Until now, Corrina has only been supporting and recovering from tanks that give up quickly and die, or tanks that don't have much motivation or ability to do so. From her point of view, Daryl is a very attractive tank.


''Three minutes left! Excuse me! Hang in there and bear it!


 Corina had never given up on recovering support before, but she was suddenly motivated when she saw Daryl still holding out and not giving up. Korina worked even harder to recover support and was committed to supporting Daryl. She even prayed to God not to die.

 But in Korina's eyes, she could still see Daryl's sickle of death hanging around his neck.


 --Oooh--


 There are various types of dog people, but it is rare to find one with droopy dog ears. And those with droopy ears are inevitably the most beautiful people, and are often feted from an early age.

 Daryl doesn't like his droopy ears. The droopy ears block up his ears, dull his hearing, and cause a buildup of dirt that causes him to smell. He had even thought about cutting them off when he was a child.

 But now that his hearing has been sharpened, he can hear better than usual. He can hear Corina's voice, of course, and the sound of people moving only from the two of them, so he knows that Melcho and Xeno are dead. He could also tell that Diniel was using crude arrows instead of ice arrows by the sound of the arrows hitting the mounted golem.

 Melcho's death and the time it took to revive Xeno took away the mental space from Daryl. And physically, Daryl was already over the edge, a very trapped situation.


'Combat Cry.'


 But this is a great opportunity for Darryl. This is a scene where he can reach the limit in a real battle. Diniel has almost given up, but Corina is still providing support. Grateful for that, Daryl is attacked by the mounted golem.


'Ugh!'


 Each time she is attacked by the Mounted Golem, her body is torn apart in pain. Korina will recover from that pain and injury, but another few attacks and you'll be in a state where you can see death. It's like a living hell.

 But this kind of situation has already been experienced many times during the special training with Garum. Daryl spits out a mouthful of dark-colored blood and looks forward and relative to the mounted golem.

 He wouldn't normally stay on the edge of the edge for long. But thanks to Corina's assisted recovery, he can stay in that place. Daryl observed the mounted golem's every move with his pupil-opened eyes, taking into account his standing around him as he was attacked.


'Taunt Swing.'


 Besides, he would have to earn it now, as the hate would be turned on Korina when his prayer for resuscitation was answered. Daryl met the fist that the Mounted Golem had released with a large shield head-on. He was blown wide open and badly injured, but this earned him some hate.

 Daryl, who heard from Tsutomu that he could retry the 70th level at Melcho's request, has been practicing standing on the edge of the limit ever since. But still, it is impossible to reach that point in practice. The only way to achieve this is to win or lose in the real world.


Combat Cry.


 A pure red Combat Cry is showered on the Mounted Golem and kicked away. In the process, the bottle of blue potion is broken by the mount golem's attack and he sips the blue liquid on his hand.

 He uses his large red shield to prevent the heat ray attack that was shot to condemn him for his actions. He avoided being burned to death and took all the blows. Licking the blue potion mixed with blood, Daryl used his recovered mental strength to unleash his skills.

 I will definitely go over with this PT. I have a strong desire to cross over without relying on Tsutomu and Hannah. I want to become a tank that is equal to those two. I don't want to become a mere mortal being pulled along.

 Mindlessly saying only the name of the skill in words, Daryl is moving around so much that it's hard to believe he's a heavy knight, and he's being attacked to the point where he could have died. Even though he's receiving supportive recovery, he's still spitting out blood beyond the lethal amount, but he still hasn't collapsed. Daryl had certainly reached the limit.

 And Daryl conquered the deadly struggle and escaped the Reaper's sickle. For five minutes, Daryl was able to withstand the mounted golem's onslaught, surpassing Corina's prediction.

 Xeno revived, and Corina's prayers of resuscitation on Daryl were wasted, earning only Hate.


'Combat Cry.'


 Daryl uses the skill to take out the Mounted Golem's hate as he uses his hearing to confirm that Xeno has been revived. Mental power can cause symptoms like lack of sleep if used too much, but Daryl doesn't care about that and uses the skill.


''..........''
Yes, sir.


 Diniel, who had chastely retrieved the scorching rock robe from under the rock, handed it to the revived Xeno. Xeno looked at Daryl, who was covered in blood and fighting.


''You do your best.''


 Diniel was hoping to get wiped out quickly, but Daryl and Corina were sticking around longer than he wanted. She didn't feel like slacking off too much if someone else was working harder than her and getting results. She turned on her ice arrows and started shooting Stream Arrow as Daryl was blown away.

 Xeno also began to fire a silver Combat Cry to try and ease Daryl's burden. But now Daryl is getting more hate than Corina, who has been revived many times, so it's reached a point where Zeno can't take it back. That's why Xeno couldn't get the Hate back.

 And for forty minutes, Daryl continued to strive to tank as it was, while Corina continued to support recovery. Then Diniel's Stream Arrow silenced the Mounted Golem.
