352-Betrayal of the child




Oh, shit!


 As soon as Fenrir seemed to have scraped away from the spot, an ice prison instantly arose from underneath his feet, blocking Daryl's movement and stomping on top of it with his full weighted paws. In the face of that wave of attacks that combined swiftness and magic, Daryl could only manage to avoid critical decisions and was left defending himself.


The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it's a good idea to be able to have a good time. How did this happen all of a sudden?
"CAN!


 The revived Hannah and the child protested in front of Fenrir as he continued to attack Daryl, but her white-eyed face did not let up in her attack. On the contrary, she even seemed to be about to attack her own child as soon as the hate on Daryl faded.

 Tsutomu knows that Fenrir is in a runaway state due to the parasite, but from their point of view, it was only a sudden outburst. Because of this, Hanna, as well as Leleia and Diniel stopped moving, unsure of how to deal with it, and Corina was trying to see if she could calm Fenrir down by shining a blessing light or something else on him while recovering Daryl.

 In such a situation, Daryl, who is facing Fenrir alone, dodges the approaching wave of ice crawling on the ground with a sideways leap, and from that position, he puts his hands on the ground to gain even more momentum to escape the chasing ice attack.


(Even though the Fenrir he'd been fighting until now had been injured, if he was fully prepared, he'd be this strong! (The magic is just so nasty!)


 Up until now, Tsutomu had never hit Fenrir no matter how much she was injured, he never hit her with her recovery skills, and he knew that she was troublesome, so he took the initiative to make her shoot magic and other things. Therefore, what Daryl and the others were fighting was only Fenrir, who was out of magic power and could hardly shoot magic and was physically weak.

 A beast trapped with a child on its back is also troublesome in its own way, but Fenrir's power, which was in perfect condition due to Corina's recovery and not using much magic, was beyond Daryl's imagination. Even Hanna and the others who have experience in combat seemed surprised by the unseen movement.


''We don't know the cause, but we are certain that Fenrir can't understand our intentions. There was no point in using the blessed light, so if we don't stop that thing's movement first, Daryl and the child will be in danger. Hannah, hurry up and get your equipment ready.
And...
I'm not telling you to kill anything. But if we don't fight, we could be wiped out, and even if we retreat, the child could be killed by parents who don't seem to be in their right mind. I don't want to do it either, but we have no choice but to fight.


 In the midst of all this, Corina, who had never been in combat with Fenrir before and had no such feelings for him, calmly gave her instructions. At her words, Hannah's face crumpled up as if she was about to cry, and Leleia and Diniel tightened their hands on their weapons. Then they began to attack to cover Daryl.


''Can!''


 When Diniel's arrow hit Fenrir, the child let out a mournful squeal as if to tell him to stop. Hearing that voice, Diniel's eyes wavered widely and her hand involuntarily stopped. Leleia took one look at her with a snake-like sideways glance, and then she and Salamander stepped forward and swung their fine swords at Fenrir.

 Hannah, who had been dressed in flaxen clothes due to being revived, was still lost while preparing her equipment. But in front of Daryl, who is being cornered more and more by the coldness caused by the ice magic, there is no time to be strangely lost.


''What... what is it... what is it! Enough of this, I'm going to wake up!


 She shattered the colorless magic stone with a cry that said she had had enough, then leapt out of the side room and punched Fenrir in the face with a fist augmented by her magic power. With that beat, the ice on his fangs shattered and danced, and he was blown away while ripping down several thin trees as it was.


''I'm taking over! We even saw some movement to a certain extent!
Please ... I'll be back soon.
You're looking pretty pale. Corrina's gonna have to get you well soon!


 Daryl, who had frostbite from the ice on his armor, was shivering from the uncommon cold and retreated as Hannah had said. Then, I walked over to the firewood that Corrina had prepared using the magic tool in her magic bag to warm up her body.


''I'll take my gloves off.


 Although not that familiar with the treatment regarding frostbite, Corrina, who is not without experience, removes the black gloves in place of Daryl, whose hands are probably numb. After feeling a little relieved to see a hand that wasn't particularly discolored, she gently wrapped it in her own two hands to warm it up. At the same time, she used the wish of swiftness to assist Hannah, who was confronting Fenrir, but continued to warm his hands, which were shivering from the cold.

 After warming Daryl's minions for a certain amount of time with his own hands, Corina encouraged him to regain his body temperature by letting him soak in the lukewarm water she had prepared. At the same time, Korina, who was also performing support recovery for the PT members, was looking at Hannah, who was using her fist of demonic flow too much as her emotions were going.


'Hannah! If possible, use fire or flame for the magic stone! I think it works better for Fenrir, and I hope it works to warm up his own body! Keep it up Leleia, please! Diniel, melt the ice with an attack centered on fire arrows!


 Roughly in the form of applying countermeasures to the Winter General, Corina observes the faint hint of death emanating from Hannah as she gives her instructions. Since she is an evasion tank, Hannah, who faces death if she receives even a single blow, always has a hint of death in the air. However, there is a slight difference in the hint of death, and he has to follow Hannah's movements as he must watch it and pray for resuscitation.

 Therefore, from the side, it is scary to watch from the side, Korina moves her eyeballs to keep an eye on her swift movements, while also not failing to support and recover as a prayer warrior. Furthermore, her instructions to the PT members were not lacking in composure, and as she followed them, Hannah and Diniel's movements, which were showing signs of impatience, were approaching the same as usual.

 Corina is also far more compassionate as a human being than Tsutomu, so she does have some sympathy for Fenrir. However, she doesn't feel that much compared to the PT members who had been shown the tragic end of Fenrir and his son many times and were determined to resolve it today. That's why she was the only one among the PT members who was able to make decisions and give instructions that were not mistaken from a third party perspective.

 Although Fenrir, the back boss of the ninety-two levels, was indeed a powerful enemy, it was not an opponent that could be defeated by this PT member's inherent ability. If Korina also lacked composure, it might have been a close match, but if the healer was calm and competent, he could follow up even if the tank or attacker messed up a bit.

 Wishes and prayers that had been turned in beforehand were fulfilled one by one, and support was spread to Hannah and Leleia. Furthermore, the prayers of breaking evil are fulfilled by shortening the time with the words of the prayer, and a slash with a claw that was about to hit Hanna is prevented by scaring Fenrir.


'Holy wishes, blessed light, swift wishes.................. Daryl, I'm about to switch places with Hannah. Are you ready?
Yes!
Should I warm up a little more?
That's okay.


 She looked at Fenrir as she regained her composure as she spoke back to Corina, who was giggling with a slightly teasing smile.


'Then aim for two more minutes of hate, please. 'Hannah! It's time for a change! Keep your attacks low and focus on avoiding them!


 After a long period of trial and error to get past the 90th level, Korina grew as a healer, and the PT members who were accustomed to being prayer warriors also combined to steadily stabilize the battle.

 Daryl felt the same air as Tsutomu had glimpsed at the ninety-first level beside her, and he felt a shiver in his body. He thought he understood her abilities at the ninety-one level, but he was being helped at this level as well. We should be in a position to lead her since we are the first to update the hierarchy, but this is no way for us to stand.


''Combat Cry!''


 Emboldened once again that he couldn't be defeated either, Daryl unleashed a spear-red fighting spirit to earn the hate from Fenrir. He then drank the blue potion, anticipating a long battle like the hierarchical main battle, and he released more skills and replaced Hannah.


 oooh.


 For the next two hours, the battle continued in the forest, with Corina and the other PTs hunting Fenrir down. If it had been the same as before, Fenrir would have made a limping, sympathy-inducing move.

 But now that Fenrir was being forced by the parasite, it didn't matter if his body had reached its limits or not. As a result, his body showed no signs of stopping even if it was weakened, and it was impossible to drive him into a combat-ready state. Therefore, right now he had broken two back legs and one front leg, forcing him to stop moving.

 Since it doesn't seem to be moving that much anymore, it seems that we can escape like this, but it doesn't mean that we can't still move. If you leave it like this, you will probably end up being eaten to death by the parents of the child who approached you. And the monsters who have sensed that the battle is about to come to an end are gathering around them as well.


'We'll have to put a stop to it. I'll do it.''
'No, if anything happens to Corina, she could be wiped out. I'll do it.


 Corina, who was less attached to Fenrir than the other PT members, took the initiative to speak up with the Morning Star in her hand. When Leleia said that to her, she looked around to see if anyone else was going to answer. Hannah, whose eyes are swollen with tears, can only look at the dead body Fenrir with a depressed 《dink》 face, and Diniel does the same. Daryl also had a dark look on his face, but he asked her one question.


''May I, go explain to the child?
They've already identified us as the enemy and are wondering if we're on their radar.
The worst thing that could happen to me is that I wouldn't die from a bite.
''........Do what you want. However, there's a bunch of monsters gathered around, so please be quick about it.
Yes, sir.


 Daryl replied ruefully and walked up from the safe point to the child who was wary of us. The child then let out a vicious snarl with its tail upside down and barked at us, telling us not to get any closer. But still Daryl walked up to it and got down on one knee in front of the child.


'I don't know why, but your mother attacked us. And with the way she was acting, she would have attacked you too. So we're going to put a stop to your mother.
"Guuuuu...!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry I didn't do enough. I'm really sorry that things turned out this way.


 Daryl begged for forgiveness in the form of a penance to a child who was about to bite him in the face, and as he said this, he returned to Leleia with a determined look on his face.


'Please. If it's me, I'm afraid I'll end up tormenting you needlessly.......
'Yeah, I know. Let me take care of the intervention, and Daryl, keep an eye out for the kids. They could turn the tables and attack us.


 She replied with a steady look in her eyes and began to prepare to stop the fire spirit crystals on her rapier. Hannah and Corina watched the scene with sad eyes, while Daryl and Diniel paid attention to the child from afar.

 Then, within a few minutes, they approached Fenrir, who didn't seem to be able to move much, and ended its life with a stab to its brain.


''Gaaaah!!!!''


 As the child witnessed the moment his mother's life was lost, he roared so powerfully that the monsters around him ran away. When the mother dies, her power is passed on to the child. 'Live Dungeon! But that's how the system works, and the ice ground is formed around the child who inherited the power of the ice demon.


I'm going to be the next child, right? It's a joke of a hierarchy, isn't it?


 Hannah, who looked much more scruffy, sighed as if she was already tired. Diniel also set up his bow with an unusually sad look on his face, and Corina gave her support to Daryl, who would be taking the hate.

 Daryl, whose frozen ground was close to his feet, also had a sad look in his eyes, but he didn't let go of his great shield. She then tried to intercept Fenrir's child, who would have jumped at her sooner or later, but she jumped up high on the spot.

 As Daryl held the large shield upwards, wondering if she was going to stomp on it the same way her parents did, he noticed that a sharp icicle was quickly forming right below the child. The child had jumped up directly above him, not towards him.


'Wait--'
"Googling.


 As soon as Daryl realized his intentions, he threw down the large shield and jumped out of the way, but the child fell face first into the icicle. The child was skewered by the icicle from mouth to ass with a final miserable onomatopoeic sound. Daryl was stunned in front of her and quickly turned around.


''That's it, Corrina-san! Recovery!
I'm sorry, sir, but it was a quick death.
Oh, come on. Why would...
'Ahhhh! I don't want to be on this level anymore!


 In the forest, where Hannah's shaking cry echoed through the wood spirits, Korina and the rest of the PT succeeded in defeating Fenrir and his son. There will be no more obstacles in the way of the girls breaking through the hierarchy.
