332-The PT that started turning




 When they actually dove into the ninety levels with the strategy Korina had proposed, they found several points that needed to be improved. However, all the PT members felt a different response, and they all actively discussed and worked out the plan.


''Can you leave the task of issuing instructions to the PT to me?


 Currently, Amy sometimes gives orders to the PT members as an assistant, but it's mainly Korina, the healer. However, Korina's commanding skills aren't very high, and since healers have a lot to do at the 90th level, it's impossible for her to give orders.

 It was suggested that Zeno and Amy, who have a wide range of vision and command abilities, should be in charge of commanding the PT, while Korina should concentrate on support recovery and recovery of abnormalities. And it was Xeno who made that suggestion.


'I understand. Then let's try that once.


 Xeno may appear to be joking around, but he's been working hard behind the scenes. Understanding this, Corina swallowed the suggestion readily. After confirming that the others had no particular objection, Xeno threw out his chest in a show of confidence.


'Leave it to me! It's going to be fine!
..........
Well no, not this one.
It's not that I'm angry at you. I just thought that Tsutomu-san sometimes looked at you in this way, and now I understand why.
'I don't remember him looking at me that much...'


 I've seen several times that Tsutomu has eyes that occasionally look at you as if you were a funny clown, so Corrina was just replicating that. But it seems to be a look that was enough to make Xeno stammer as he received it. Looking at the two of them, Amira rolled her eyes slightly.


''As for how to preserve Amira, we can't do it the way it is now.


 The other improvements were also made to the method of preserving Amira, who would be used in the last stages of the game, by not just giving her a break, but by changing to lighter weapons in the middle of the game and limiting her dragonization so that she could fight and not let her body cool down, and by placing Amy and Zeno as a follow-up to Garum, who had responded to the attack of the end of his life.

 Over the next few days, such trial and error would be repeated, and the second army PT would take on the ninety levels again today. With the hundredth time in sight by now, we transitioned to the ninety levels that we were already too familiar with and bored with.

 From the black sky, the end of his life, which was a high ranking angel, swoops down from the black sky and lets out a cry that curses everything in this world. The first time I saw it in front of me, I was terrified, and when I got the information that it was a former angel through Amy's appraisal, I even felt pity for its pathetic appearance.


(C'mon, let me through!)


 But now they were only a major obstacle in their own path. Corina used the wish for protection and the wish for swiftness on her PT members while staring at the end of the world with eyes that seemed to look at her nemesis.

 Circumstances could be seen in the monster called the End of the Narrowness, such as being a former angel or not even a fallen angel. There are some labyrinth maniacs who have various thoughts about the end of the world, and Korina used to like that kind of thing.

 But now, none of that mattered. I just have to defeat the monster in front of me and break through this hierarchy. As I stared at the end of my life as I grabbed the Talisman and started to move while thinking about just that, something like a mirage began to glimpse from behind it.

 It is a prediction of death judged by the experience of nursing the end of the searchers and the density of the black haze actually visible. But this is only visible to humans, and until now it has not been possible to apply this to monsters.

 But for some reason, the prediction of death is starting to become visible only to the opponent of the end of the world. After confirming this, Korina predicted the time until the end of the world would die based on the thickness of the haze. And since she couldn't survive with her hate management skills, she reevaluated the policy of the poorest PT and switched her strategy to focus on the endgame.


'Prayer.'


 Corina, who had been following him based on Tsutomu's advice, took a step on a different path for the first time there. To the path of becoming a praying priest, which is separate from the white mage path that Tsutomu and Stephanie walked.

 The prayer reduces the activation time of the Wish of Protection and the Wish of Promptness, increasing the AGI of all PT members and increasing the VIT of only Garum. The moment the blue qi came out of all the PT members, Zeno raised his silver sword to the sky like a wolfsbane 《signal》.


''Come on! Let's call it a war!
We're done.
Shut up is just fine!
..........
Let's go.


 Xeno raised his voice with a bluster that seemed to reverberate throughout the entire ninety levels, and Amira and Amy were jostling each other with words. Corina closed her eyes to concentrate, and Garum reliably tightened his grip on the great shield and unleashed a spear-shaped black combat cry.

 The skills of the tank position have been studied since the three roles were established, and various new information has been discovered about the Combat Cry. It can change shape as well as heels, change color, etc., but recently, the hate change caused by the shape change has received a lot of attention.

 Normally, the Combat Cry is a fixed red wave, but by concentrating it on a single point, like a spear, you can send more waves at the monster efficiently. However, if you do so, the monster will try to avoid it, so the skill of the tank is also required.

 It has also been reported that the rate of increase in monster hate will vary slightly depending on its color and shape. Basically, the rate of increase was adjusted upwards for Combat Cry weapons, and the rate of increase seemed to change depending on the color of the monster's weak point.

 Therefore, Garum, who at first had shown difficulty with Daryl and Zeno, who seemed to be playing with the color of the Combat Cry, was now able to handle the same degree of shape change after repeated practice.


''Yaaaah!''
"Taunt Swing.


 And since Naraku no Hate's attack pattern has been grasped in the past month, he was also able to master the art of combining strength and flexibility to match even a slash with claws that were difficult to predict the direction of attack with a taunt swing.

 The end of the line was to try to follow up on Garum, who was blown away by attacking and defending at the same time, but a twin-blade slash flew to interrupt it. Furthermore, the timing of the healing wish came true as if it was an immediate recovery, and Garum was restored.


''Twin-blade slash, twin-blade slash, twin-blade slash.......''


 Amy swung her twin swords with her pupil-opening cat eyes, muttering a few small words, "Soubaikazan," as she swung her twin swords, thoroughly making the move to win. There was no hesitation in that move.

 He was willing to cooperate with Garum in order to win. That spirit had been there since he was fighting the tyrannical dragon, but it was only recently that he was able to admit that to himself and move. And while Amy tried not to make eye contact with Naraku to prevent the petrification from progressing needlessly, she veered off to the side to meet Amira coming from behind.


'Powerslash!'


 Amira slashed at the Narrow End of the World without turning into a dragon with a large sword that was not created by the Doren Workshop using materials from the Light and Dark hierarchy, but was lighter in weight. And unlike usual, she clicked her tongue at the Narated End, which was not that frightened.

 It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get the most out of it. It's the keystone of the second-tier PT, and thanks to her, we were able to pass the early and middle stages of the game with ease.

 However, even though she had won the Dragonization, it still drained her stamina, and there were times when she would run out of stamina and become unstable. It is possible to extend it to an hour or two with the proper support recovery of the healer, but there was a problem of running out of stamina after a long battle.

 So I tried to save Amira to give her all in the final stages of the battle, but she was much less good at adjusting her strength. I'm not going to be able to get the best out of him, so I'm limiting his weapons and skills and letting him fight to the best of his ability to warm up his body and combat instincts.

 And as soon as Naraku made a heavenly motion, a dignified and loud voice rang out.


''Whole attack one motion! Amy, you and Amira, move to the right where Mr. Corrina is! Corrina, you're fine on the spot! Mr. Garum, you're left behind there!


 Xeno, who is now leaving the tank to Garum, observes the movements of the mature ones anyway, and gives orders as soon as he sees the signs of an overall attack. His confident voice passes so well on the battlefield that he doesn't even need the magic of a loudspeaker. His voice, which everyone would hate to hear if he were to give a speech in the city, is definitely suited to giving instructions to someone else.

 And with the help of his wife, who is a labyrinth maniac, Zeno had thoroughly researched about the end of the world and drilled that information into his head. His theoretical and confident instructions based on that information can move the PT members without confusion. And since he had originally been the leader of a mid-level clan, he was used to giving instructions.


'Mr. Galum! I'm standing right behind you! Fight to your heart's content!
"Combat Cry.
A wish for healing.


 Garum and Korina continued to use their skills to fight, not caring that Xeno was languishing about such things. In the midst of all this, Korina clearly felt that she was able to focus more than usual.

 Being able to support and recover while giving all the PT members instructions every step of the way, and being able to do her job in silence. It was the difference between that and being able to do one's job silently. The fact that she had less to do due to the fact that she had fewer instructions and support recovery to Amira, she was clearly able to recover support to the tank and understand the state of petrification better than before.


(Good thing I asked Xeno-san to help me out.)


 And Xeno, who was still shouting with enthusiasm, seemed to be enjoying himself, and he had no complaints about his instructions. If I had an image before, Zeno's instructions seemed unreliable, but I already knew that he was studying the end of the world based on his wife's information. That's why you can follow every single instruction he gives you without questioning it.


'Boost, rock splitting blade.'
(And I was worried about the lack of firepower early on because of Amira's power suppression, but Amy's getting around better than I expected. (This one looks fine.)


 Amy continues to move agilely around the narrowness and accurately apply attacks. She steadily completed Tsutomu's training and updated the theoretical value of the firepower that the twin swordsman could produce. As a result, her abilities, which had been evaluated as including the idol element until now, were starting to be seen as a full-fledged explorer.


'Yotto.'


 In addition to standing in pursuit of that theoretical value, she also has a fighting sense. The way she attacked without leaving the end of her life with her cat-like flexible movements was clearly superior to the current Amira. The difference between the absolute talent of unique skills, Amy had closed the gap between the absolute talent of unique skills with her hard work and unique sense in pursuing the theory.


(This could win.)


 Corina thought so inwardly as she staked out her wishes and prayers, managing the PT members' strength and petrification status as she stood around. The early part of the ninety level battle with the change in the PT policy of the two armies was off to a good start.
