264-Abnormal hate management




 Immediately after entering the eighty-three levels, he launched a smoke bomb and just after destroying each monster that came by. From afar, a red and blue bird-man could be seen spreading his wings, which were assimilated with his arms, and gliding through the air while grabbing and carrying people with his thin bird legs. Underneath them was a rabbit-man running alongside with a cloud of dust.


''Oh, you're a PT on Tsutomu's side! Best regards!
Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.


 Lorena, who had run quite a distance and didn't have a single sweat on her face, greeted me with a slightly happy face. Tsutomu also greeted Misir and the sorcerer who was carried by Lorena and the red and blue bird people.


''..........''
He says hello.
Oh, yes.


 He silently thanked her for her greeting, a sorcerer who couldn't even see her face as she was deeply hooded in pitch-black clothes that seemed to blend in with the night. Tsutomu returned the words appropriately to Mishiru, who told him to follow such a person.

 The chance of being able to join them when they dived into the same level is roughly fifty percent, so the Infinite Circle has two PTs diving into the eighty-third level. And since only one of the Silver Beasts had yet to cross the eighty levels, the PTs who were able to join them were supposed to explore without further incident.

 The Silver Beast is composed of two red and blue bird man avoidance tanks, the adventurer Misil, a spellcaster who is probably a woman wearing a deep black hood, and Lorena, a rabbit man who is a running healer.


(That's sharp.)


 That PT structure looks rather sharp from Tsutomu's point of view. The two dodging tanks are moderately strange, and the healers who go to the front lines with them are insane. The sorcerer also has an unfamiliar fighting style, shifting to melee combat from time to time, and I've never seen him speak outside of his skills, so his personality seems to be a bit peculiar.

 The one who has managed to bring together such sharp individuals and elevate them to the PT is the clan leader, Misir. His search ability is as good as Diniel's. The ability to follow up with an unsteady evasive tank. Appropriate use of items when a running healer or close combat spellcaster collapses on the front line. The ability to produce a decent amount of firepower as an attacker.

 However, if such a Missile were to join a normal PT, its ability itself is mediocre, so it wouldn't be that useful. It may be because of this sharp PT that Missile is able to play an active role as the only stable foundation. Tsutomu recognized the Silver Beast's PT as such.


''Then let's explore after we collect the magic stone. I'll handle the search for the enemy here.''
Yeah.
Please.


 Diniel, who opened her mouth to complain in a small way, turned her shoulders around as if she was tired. The first time you see her, Misir, who was wearing the wyvern's leather armor, smiles bitterly and raises his hand and offers to search for the enemy.


It's a good thing that you were fighting the monster first, we'll take care of the next spotting and fighting.
You see, this is what Misir says.
Don't point at people. I'm sorry. Could you do that for me?
Hey.


 Diniel points at Misil with unwilling drooping eyes. Tsutomu pushed her finger away with his staff and left the search for the enemy to Misil, who didn't seem to be bothered at all, saying so. Then the red and blue bird people who were listening to the conversation take off at the same time and fly away like a scout plane. After looking up at the two of them with a bit of envy, Hanna, who is the same bird person but a different kind, remembered that Tsutomu had put a fly on her and flew into the sky.


''Master, can I go too?''
...follow those people's instructions on how to spot the enemy.
Hey!


 With that, Hanna's wings fluttered around on her back, and with the help of her fly, she flew through the air. Diniel looked away from her with a look of incomprehension and gave a small yawn. Daryl is comparing the unfamiliar dark magic stone to be able to judge the good and bad of it, and Leleia is poking the sylph on her head with her fingertips to keep it composed.

 The PT this time is made up of Xeno, Garum, Amira, and Corrina, who were nominated by Amy, so they are made up of the leftovers. It seems that Amy wants to practice the double-breasted slayer, so Diniel and Leleia, who are good at long distance, are the ones who have solidified this time.

 As I was looking at the dark demon stone that Daryl was looking at with a mmmmmmmm and groaning because he had no time to spare until the reconnaissance came back, I saw Lorena doing some flexibility exercises at the edge of my vision. But as if her body was as soft as a ballerina's, her flexibility exercises looked a little abnormal and I couldn't help but stare at her.

 Then Lorena, who was splitting her legs together and splitting her crotch, when she noticed Tsutomu's gaze, she gave him a censure look and covered her crotch with her hand with a bang.


''Hey! Where are you looking?!
Oh, I'm sorry. I just figured you're as flexible as Amy is.


 Looking at Lorena, whose both feet were sticky to the ground with plenty of room to spare, Tsutomu remembered the sight of Amy stretching in the Clan House. He couldn't help but say how uncomfortably soft it was at that time, and he had bitter memories of Amy giving him a hard stretching instruction.

 Then Lorena, perhaps feeling better about being told that she was the same as Amy, nodded her head in agreement and resumed the leg-spreading stretches in a different direction from Tsutomu. However, the one with the round white tail waving out of his pants was also not a very common sight, so Tsutomu turned his gaze away with a dumbfounded look.

 Then his eyes met with the sorcerer who had come to look at him to see what was going on, but he didn't say anything in particular. The sorcerer was probably a woman, judging by the voice she could hear when she emitted her skills, but I had never seen her speak otherwise, so it was hard to tell much from her.


(I'd like to see one of those a day, though.)


 Tsutomu, who had turned his gaze away from such a sorcerer, looked at Daryl and the magic stone while practicing his skill manipulation as if he were doing preparatory exercises while making a disgusted face as he imagined the treasure chest search that was about to begin.


 oo


It's amazing....


 Daryl looked impressed as he watched the Silver Beast fight dark monsters such as Gargoyles and Dark Statues. This was the first time Tsutomu had seen a Silver Beast five-man PT that wasn't from Shentai, but he was watching the battle with the same look on his face as Daryl.

 At first glance, it would appear that everyone was simply leaping into the monsters at once, just like the Attacker 4 Healer 1 configuration of a generation ago. However, the monster attacks are mainly handled by the dodging tank, and even the healers come to the front to use their legs to kick the monsters.

 The scene of the battle is quite chaotic since everyone is at the front, but the skill of the sorcerer's flaming snake is like a whip, burning only the monster without misfiring on its allies. Misir had a knack for being an attacker, watching the whole thing and making various adjustments, and he played the role of a commander like Luke from Aldoret Crow.

 Silver Beast's firepower is greater than Aldoret Crow and Infinite Circle because everyone participates in the attack in Silver Beast's battles. Therefore, Silver Beast was good at general hierarchical attacks where short battles with monsters were going on.

 However, even for such Silver Beasts, the current situation was that they were stuck at the eighty-three levels. Although many labyrinth maniacs had speculated about this, the reason for this was the powerful monsters that appeared at the eighty-three levels.


''Whoa! My eyeballs are falling off!


 As Lorena's ears were folded up like a rabbit detecting a natural enemy, a monster that looked like an eyeball fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a thud. The official name of the monster is Meme, and despite its eerie appearance, it is classified as a slime.

 The white part of its eyes is made up of slime with the attribute of light and the black part of its eyes is made up of slime with the attribute of darkness. In other words, it has both light and dark attributes, and such monsters often appear from the eighty-three levels.

 Among them, the Mame is almost immune to blows and slashes, and can only be defeated by destroying the core located deep within the white and black slime. For this reason, it is a difficult monster to defeat unless there is someone who can exploit its weaknesses of both light and dark.

 Other than Meme, there are other monsters that have both light and dark attributes, such as a giant snake with strong scales of the light attribute and a fallen angel, that have both light and dark attributes and are similar to the mid-bosses of the past. Because of this, the battle inevitably ends up being a protracted one, and Silver Beast, which is less stable in the PT than Aldoret Crow or the Infinite Circle, had a hard time.

 And the longer the battle went on, the more monsters would gather one after another from the surroundings. If that happened, the Silver Beast would have no choice but to retreat, and if the situation was bad, it was not uncommon for the beast to be wiped out.

 Seeing the battle situation where the two Memes appeared and the gargoyles were gradually being dealt with late, Tsutomu walked forward while poking at the ground with his staff.


'It's not looking good at this rate. We'll leave too. Daryl, please.''
Yes!
'Whoa! Let's go!
'Hannah wait a minute. Diniel is the enemy around. Leleia is on the outside of Meme's treatment.


 Tsutomu stops Hannah, who was about to run bravely, and instructs the two of them to skip the support skill. He then points at the red-blue bird person as she turns around with a frustrated look on her face.


Hannah. Do you have any desire to show them a good time or something?
I'm sorry, no? I don't think so, not at all.
Yeah? I'm going to show you my best avoidance tank, I thought you thought I was going to show you my best avoidance tank.


 He put a hand behind his head and looked at Hannah with searching eyes as she blatantly averted her gaze. However, Hannah's thoughts seemed to cool down a bit when that was pointed out to her, so she pointed towards Meme with her wand.


'If you're reckless and get hit, you're fine.
'What? You want to take money?
'You can get hit, but only if you don't do anything rash. Here, you don't have much time to spare, so go ahead.
Arrogant...


 Hannah looked up at Tsutomu with zit eyes before kicking the ground and going up to the front line. After seeing Hanna off, Tsutomu crawled out of the ground and sent the gnome, who was also crawling out of the ground, towards Meme's place.


''Holy.''


 Holly, which was rarely used outside of the Wilderness Hierarchy, would be the main skill in this hierarchy. Since the eighty-three hierarchies were basically filled with dark monsters, the healer, the white mage, would also participate in the attack. The hollies that are transforming like long and thin needles stop snapping behind the gnomes.

 And the gnome, whose weak appearance cannot be imagined, strikes with a series of powerful fists. The attack, which was given the earth attribute, the weak point of the light attribute, flashed through Meme's light slime rapidly. Then a needle-shaped holly sticks into the place of the thinned body.

 The holly pierces the nucleus in the center of Meme's black mucus. Then Meme dissolved on the spot and dropped the magic stone in the darkness with a potluck.


''Heal, Medic.''


 However, you shouldn't focus only on defeating monsters and support recovery is poor. Besides, attacking too much will cause the monsters to hate you more than they should, so it is important to adjust your heal hate as well to prevent them from targeting you.

 However, Tsutomu is a "Live Dungeon! knowledge and healer experience. He rubbed it together with actual combat and other PT's divine platforms to achieve hate management that was almost the same as in the game. Therefore, even in situations where other white mages would have sensibly pulled back for fear of hate, Tsutomu was able to make the best choice because he was being logical.

 As for that hate management, Lorena is currently as accurate as Tsutomu, so she won't be targeted to that extent even if she is on the front lines. But since she is the type of person who uses her own senses to manage hate, she is always surprised by Tsutomu, who seems to be crossing a dangerous bridge with an unconcerned look on his face.


''Diniel, you used an attribute arrow.
"Hm.
Daryl's looking a little tight. Hannah! Work your asses off!
Master said you can't get hit by a bullet, right?


 In addition to that, he can also heal and direct support to tanks and attackers. At the eighty-three level, Tsutomu is still a healer as usual. The way he is undisturbed may seem somewhat easy to the spectators watching from the Divine Table, but his peers can see that he is too detailed to be abnormal. It would be especially clear to the three people that Tsutomu had taught the healer.


''........I always wondered why you attacked so much and didn't get targeted by monsters?''
'What? That's because the hate from monsters is lower than the tank.
..........


 Lorena, who hadn't thought to ask that after the battle was over, looked as if she was going to say that wasn't the case with the words that came back to her from Tsutomu.
