169-Watching Mount Golem, two women




 After finishing prepping dinner in the early afternoon, Oli left his apprentice to do the rest of the housework, and headed to the crowded plaza of the divine platform by himself. Then he walked around the single-digit platform and scurried around.

 Lately, I've been able to leave some of the chores to my apprentice, so I've had time to look at the divine table and study the explorers. However, from the point of view of Oli, who has served the nobles single-mindedly until now, there are many things that are inevitably difficult to understand just by looking at the divine table.


''Ah, Oli-san. Over here.
Hello. Good day to you.
''It's nice to meet you too.''


 Noticing this, Oli had sent a request to a famous labyrinth enthusiast to prepare a video commentary and easy-to-understand material on the Shentai. After bowing deeply to the labyrinth maniac woman with her black hair cut short, Oli sat down at the reserved seat with a desk.

 Since this was the second time he had asked the labyrinth maniac woman to make a request, he knew her face a little better. The woman was the one who had jumped first to the request Oli had made, and she was Zeno's wife.


''Here's the material for the third unit I put together since noon. It's a work in progress, but if you'd like.
Thank you.


 She had been observing the Infinite Circle Strategy PT since noon and handed Oli a document that was put together in masterful handwriting. Then she looked up at the infinite circle of attack PTs that had been moved to the third table.


'It seems that Tutom's PT is still experimenting with different things. The attackers are working together with Amira's dragonization and Leleia's spirits. Hanna, the dodging tank, is practicing how to stand on the ground against the blizzard.''
I see.


 She taught him terms like attacker and tank in detail from her last time, so Oli read through the material quickly and easily.


I'm sure you can expect the 80th level as well, since the four of us have been able to get to the 79th level. However, this time it seems to be difficult to break through on the first try, but I heard that Amy and Garum will be coming in soon, so it's quite conceivable that they will be the first to exit.
''The ones who have reached the eighty levels now are Aldoret Crow and Silver Beast, right? Aren't those two leading the pack?
''It doesn't seem like we'll be able to break through under the current circumstances. The Golden Probe has also broken through the seventy levels, but it's unlikely. It's better than before, but we're still relying on Leon, who has unique skills.


 Less than two months after breaking through the sixty level fire dragon, the seventy level was broken through as well, and it looked like this momentum would continue. However, the reason why they were able to break through to that level in one fell swoop was because there were many people who were at the seventy level. The proper level of the seventy levels was seventy, so the momentum was good enough for the Mounted Golem.

 However, the proper level of the 80th level is 80 levels, and the Lord of the Hierarchy, the Winter General, is also a rather powerful enemy. Therefore, even the two clans that were able to pass through to the Snowfield Hierarchy early were at a standstill.


''And the Infinite Circle has high hopes for Tutom. The three of them broke through the fire dragon, which had been said to be difficult to break through except for the Red Demon Clan for a while, for the first time. In Stampede, he was selected as the one who contributed the most to the nobles, followed by the Mounted Golem, who also broke through for the first time. Despite this, no kind of unique skills have been confirmed. It would be so strange not to expect something like this.


 Zeno's wife chuckles and looks at the divine table that shows Tsutomu doing the healer and the avoidance tank. His standing is different from the other healers. Since the highest tier is now the same, he is now treated above Stephanie and Lorena.

 Perhaps due to this, Lorena has recently changed her movements and skill spinning to increase the range of her standing. Lorena is happy that Tsutomu is no longer being talked about in the same breath as her, but she is cheerful and tries new things with her friends.

 On the other hand, Stephanie, on the other hand, has been going on and on with her dungeon search as if she's been cornered by something. Recently, she has been wearing dark circles under her eyes and her expression was so dark that clan members were worried that she might collapse someday.

 After that, she continued to watch Tsutomu and the other PT's battle, occasionally explaining to Oli as she prepared materials. After two hours, when people began to gather in the evening, Daryl and the rest of the requesting PTs found the black gate to the 70th level, they ended the conversation.


''From the looks of it, it's the eighth level. Then let's move on. This way.''


 Having reserved a seat near the single-digit table beforehand, she stands up and begins to walk ahead to guide Oli. Oli follows Zeno's wife as she is rubbed by the still large wave of people, and sits down in the reserved seats near the eighth platform.

 In addition to the girls, the crowd sat in the reserved seats with a gap between them, and the free seats were full and there were many people standing around. There are more than a hundred spectators in the reserved seats alone at the eighth floor. If you include the unreserved seats and the standing room, the number must be quite high.


''It's getting quite a bit of attention. I wonder if this will sell articles?


 Zeno's wife happily said that and picked up a used fountain pen and looked at the five PTs on the giant screen. The quill she was using the other day was a gift from Zeno, so she only uses it at home.

 Then, starting with Zeno's vigorous Combat Cry, the requesting group PT's mounted golem battle began.


''Oh, it's started.''
Wow, there's Xeno.
"Zeno.


 Many of the people from the free seats knew about Zeno, and there were a lot of people who knew about him, and there were a lot of people flying at him as soon as possible. Since joining the Infinite Circle, Xeno was well known for his former fame, for better or worse.


''Mounted golems are now based on splitting up the main body and miscellaneous enemies for combat. That's why Daryl, the tank, is the main body, and Xeno attracts the small fry enemies. Melcho, the attacker, seems to be in charge of the small fry. Diniel is in charge of the main body and Korina is the healer.
Yes, sir.
'I get the impression that it's tougher for the tank to be in charge of small fry enemies at first. It's a bit surprising to see Xeno in charge for the first time, but I doubt it.


 From a patronizing point of view, she would be able to work well with Xeno, but it's a job, so she talks about it from the same perspective as the other labyrinth maniacs. Oli fidgets as she looks at Daryl, who is dealing with a giant mounted golem.


''Noooooooo!
Idiot....


 She then looked at Zeno, who was surrounded by small fry enemy golems and beaten to an octopus, and held her eyes in dismay. She then pointed out that Diniel's Stream Arrow was hitting all of them, and praised Daryl for pulling the mounted golem to the edge.


'I know you broke through once, but Daryl's very good at attracting the main body. Besides, he's been practicing by diving into the seventy levels for a while now, and he won't be able to hit it. So you don't have to worry so much about it.
Oh, I see...


 It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're doing. When she couldn't see it, Oli slowly released his unconscious hands.

 Then, after evading the bomb golem's inducement, he moved to the middle game. While explaining the mounted golem battle to Oli, Zeno's wife moved her hands and wrote an article while doing so.

 Zeno continues to attract the new miscellaneous enemies, and Daryl takes on the mounted golem, whose movements are getting a little softer. Diniel's powerful Stream Arrow with his ice arrows will certainly cut down on the mount golem's strength, and Korina will provide support recovery to the two tanks.


''Will it be alright........''
You look pretty reckless. It's about time you switched tanks.


 Xeno's wife returns with a calm voice to Oli, who is looking at Daryl with distress as he is repeatedly punched away by the fast-moving Mounted Golem, which is now moving faster and faster. And when the number of miscellaneous enemies was reduced to ten, Xeno took the hate from Daryl and began to attract the main body.


'Oh, so two tanks taking turns fighting the main body like that is a common strategy on the seventy levels. Well, the infinite circle introduced a tank that avoided it and broke through on the first try........ But basically, the safest thing to do is for the tank to take turns getting attacked by the main body. Dealing with miscellaneous fish enemies seems to be no longer a problem for Melcho alone, so I think we'll take turns attracting them in the future.
The tank you're avoiding is Hannah, right?
'Yes. If you can avoid all attacks like that girl, you can take it all by yourself. But that's difficult for Daryl, a heavy knight with low AGI (agility). But.........
Tepid!
'The Holy Knight's Xeno is not incapable of dodging tanks, for one thing.


 Knights, holy knights, and dark knights do not have low AGI, so they can also avoid attacks and serve as tanks. Of course, they are not as good as Hannah, who specializes in dodging tanks, but instead they have VIT (Sturdy), which allows them to do both.

 Seeing Zeno daring to enter the bosom of the Mounted Golem and avoid stomping and fist slams, she continues her commentary with a bit of pride. She didn't use it this time since it doesn't have any effect on the mount golem, but the holy knight can also use other things like flashes to temporarily take away the monster's vision.


''Nah, that's a pretty good punch,''


 And his VIT is high enough to withstand an attack even if it hits him. One hit by the Mounted Golem's fist and Hannah would definitely die, but Zeno could withstand it. So she thought it was no problem, but she noticed that something was wrong with Zeno.


''Cheers!''


 The anguish behind that smile is palpable to her alone. She tightens her grip on the fountain pen she's holding at Zeno's falseness, which even the PT members present don't notice. Then she reaches for the potion on her back hip and yells at Zeno, who pulls it back.


'Drink up!
What?
Oh I'm sorry.


 She blushed a little and apologized when Oli gave her a curious look. Probably even against Daryl, who hadn't taken a potion even after multiple attacks. She let out a loud sigh against Xeno for defending her boring pride and wrote the article as if she were writing it down.


'I'll take over!'


 And by the time Daryl noticed Xeno's emptiness, it was too late, and Xeno was kicked off and into the lava without being able to regain his position. His wife stopped writing the article with a blank look on her face as she saw Zeno's death and resumed.


'It's hard to get back on your feet with a prayer warrior when your tank is dead. But Daryl can manage--
Resuscitation in two minutes!


 But Corrina's unexpected success made her stand out from the crowd. The quickest resuscitation time for a prayer warrior was five minutes. That's what she thought, but Korina's announced resuscitation time was two minutes faster. Five minutes was supposed to be the fastest, since the word of prayer could only be halved in effect once per skill.

 But Korina revived Zeno in two minutes as announced. Zeno's wife then focused her gaze on Korina and saw that she had used the Prayer of Resurrection beforehand. And it could also be seen that she was adjusting the time without using the prayer.


'Hmmm. Corina, isn't that great. Even you didn't seem to be paying attention to her, did you?


 When Xeno's wife was stunned by Corina's success, which was a no-mark, a labyrinth-enthusiast sitting in a nearby reserved seat bragged about it. He was one who had been researching the Healer's searchers and knew that Corina could foresee death.


''Well my investigation was lax,''
'Well, that's not surprising. We had very little information on Corina. Now, I'd like to make a suggestion.
How much do you want?
You're a quick study.
'Oli, I'm sorry. Can I negotiate with you for a moment? Instead, I'll give you information about Korina in a way that's easy to understand.
Yeah. I'm fine.


 After getting permission from Oli, Xeno's wife then negotiated with the labyrinth man and received the information with the promise of a fee for information and his name in her article. And as she skimmed through the information, she narrowed her eyes in a stinky way.


'Death is foreseeable...? I can't believe it. No, but it's actually done.


 Xeno had died a few times while they were negotiating, but Corina had been dead for a couple of minutes as well. At the earliest, she was revived in a minute. He could definitely foresee his death, as Xeno would never die on the other side of his mouth with Korina.


'I thought he was just a glutton, but I guess not.


 She corrected Corina upward as she crossed her hands while wearing her scorching rock robes and apologized to Oli for a few words before resuming her commentary.
