374-Blood clot




 Green Qi envelops the area where the black blood is gathered, and a reddish liver is regenerated. At first glance, it looks like they are sending salt to the enemy, but Tsutomu, who had seen the video footage of Korina and the others when they challenged him and confirmed the specifications, of course has an aim.

 Even when the black blood is gathering and the organs are regenerating, the attack itself is possible. However, if you do so, the black blood will move to other parts of the body and begin to regenerate, so unless you aim and do something, you'll lose time. In particular, if the liver, which plays the role of a healer, is put off and cannot be destroyed forever, it will be a dead end.

 Tsutomu's goal is to have several organs in a state of failure before the blazing old dragon regenerates completely over time, so he dares to regenerate them quickly to destroy them as soon as possible.


'It's kind of unsettling to see a monster recovering.


 The PT members who were informed of the strategy in advance had some discomfort with the action that Tsutomu took, but it did not disrupt their concentration. Then the instructions flew to attack the fully regenerated liver, and Amira and Amy used the Dragonization and Dragonization Knot, respectively, to cut it down.


(The attacker's firepower is probably sufficient, and it looks like we can destroy the liver right away for now. The problem is after that...)


 After looking at the liver, which had been sliced open and flooded with bile by Amira's great sword, Tsutomu shifted his gaze to the lungs, which had begun to regenerate. The lungs have been found to be strengthened with corrosion breaths at this stage, and the information that only Tsutomu knows about is the strengthening of the blood by taking in oxygen and the increase in athletic ability.


(If I could, I'd destroy my lungs as well, but then I wouldn't have enough time to destroy my intestines. If you can destroy the stomach, you can create that time, but you risk destroying the PT by biting the gastric juice that's being spread around. (That's a nasty choice...)


 Do we play it safe and go ahead with this, or do we take a risk that the situation might get worse and go to create some leeway? Now we're going to take a majority vote in the PT and this is the plan we all decided on, so no one's to blame! It would be easier if I said, "I'm not going to do this," but that's not going to happen. This is the only decision I have to make on my own, as the only one who has information and is also the PT leader.


(.........If I don't make room for it here, I can't deny the possibility that I will be stuck later on. There are still too many unknowns to afford to deal with in the first place.)


 Even with the current rotten old dragon, it is still formidable. Its attack performance will increase with the increase in blood vessels and organs. In addition to that, the concern is the corrosion breath after the lungs are restored, and even after the stomach is complete, the attacks by spitting out stomach acid are too powerful for even Daryl to withstand. The tank is going to have a tough fight ahead.

 Plus, there was a huge risk involved in an attacker breaking his stomach. If they were to die from it, their firepower would be reduced and their pace of destroying organs would slow down, which could lead to a situation where they wouldn't be able to fight.

 However, if he moved with a stable strategy and was attacked for the first time by the first kill, there was a high chance that he wouldn't be able to destroy the organs in time and he would be stuck. Once the brain, which gives the Blazing Old Dragon the ability to think and reason, is completed, the healer will be targeted regardless of the hate, so there is no chance for us to win. In order to prevent that from happening, they'd have to delay the brain's completion time by disabling some organs, but if the first kill delayed the organ destruction, it would be the end.

 At the ninety level, thanks to the fact that all the PT members had combined and practiced their moves beforehand, they had room to recover even if they were attacked by the first sight kill. But at the 100th level, where they were only able to make minimal preparations, they couldn't expect that either. If I make the wrong choice, I can see a future where I'll be stuck.


(We are aware of the risk. My role as a healer is to minimize that risk. If I go on like this, I'll only get my first kill with no room to spare and a hint of defeat, and if the attack fails, I'll have less information to gain if I fail.)


 The reason why I dove into the 100th level with minimal preparation this time was because I was thinking about the possibility that Stephanie would beat me to it, so I'm already trying without regard to the risk of dying. If the risk can't be taken here, then it's not worth it.


(Completely destroy the liver, lungs and stomach. That way I can take care of the corrosion bracelets, and I can afford to delay the regeneration of my brain. It's an option I can get through if I do my best. (I'm going to have to die trying here.)


"Live Dungeon! The observation of the blazing old dragon based on the rule of thumb of dealing with new monsters every time the app is updated, and Tsutomu concluded the plan of action in the future by taking into account the first sight kill at the ninety level and sending support and recovery to Daryl who is breaking the blood spear while checking the condition of his liver.


It seems to be less of a problem than I thought. It's worth it for the many mock battles we performed when we attacked the Winter General.
'At worst, I can gobble up a high VIT, and it looks like I can leave it to you for a while.


 Garum, who had been handling the blood weapon earlier, watches Daryl's fighting skills with admiring eyes while drinking the blue potion to restore his mental strength. Tsutomu replenishes the blue potion as he replies to Garum's words, and then, confirming that his lungs have been regenerated and his liver destroyed, he grabs the loudspeaker's magic tool and gives instructions to the attacker.


'Amira, come back once I want to calm Hate down. I'm sorry Amy, but I want you to go straight to work on destroying your lungs.
'Oooooooooooooooooooooooooo! The trip!
No, I'm really sorry.


 It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends. It's also a good idea to have a good time with them.


'You were able to destroy it rather easily.
'The liver is the most important thing, so I don't mind it in that way, but I don't want you to get sick later. Also, Amy's doing her job and that's why the destruction is happening so fast. You have to understand that.


 Amy heard more about the organs from Korina, and she knows where the weaknesses are based on the diagram, albeit with a takedown blade. And the twin swords are used to make small cuts in those areas and adjust them so that Amira's blow is more effective. Although modest, that supportive attack was working well.


''And the fear of dragons seems fine?''
Oh, yeah, she's doing great.
Thanks to....?


 I'm not sure if it's a good idea for you to be in a position to do that.


It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good thing that I'm not afraid to be scared of him when he's right behind me.
'Huh, then can't you make a move to be a little more considerate of this white mage? Take a lesson from Amy, Amy.
'You'll take care of mine like you're taking care of mine now, won't you? So no problem.


 Amira stuck her tongue out at Tsutomu, who was half-eyed as she spoke to herself and still letting her support skills fly and land on Daryl and Amy, as if she was being silly.


''Yes, yes. I'll do my best to make the unique skill-holding attacker-sama feel comfortable standing around too. As soon as I take a short break, I'll have you start destroying your lungs, so until then, deactivate your dragonization and rest quietly.
Hey, yeah.


 She received the blue potion bottle handed to her by Tsutomu after releasing the dragonization while replying in a boring manner, and she stabbed the large sword into the ground and took a breath. And while Amy was impatiently cutting into the streaks spreading from the center of her lungs, the blood weapon appeared redder and sharper than ever before, like fresh blood due to the oxygen intake.


''Huh?''


 Daryl was surprised by the red sword that suddenly and swiftly scraped through the large shield, but he blocked it with his left arm as it came for his neck; the A+ VIT saved him from injury, but Daryl seemed a little upset by the appearance of the blood weapon, which was now unusually faster than ever before. But as if to calm him down, the bullets from the medic and heel landed, and he readjusted his large shield to regain his composure.


'Amira, and Garum, it's time to replace him too.
Oh, come on, Tsutomu, take care of the back.
I'll handle it.
Wow. That's unusual. I'm gonna get God's Eye, can you both say that again?
You're dead.
..........


 Then, after a short break, I re-launch Amira and Garum, and replace them with the two in front of me. Daryl watched for a bit until the hate was taken away while Galum passed on the properties of his blood weapon that had changed since his lungs were built, and Amy came back with a scary cat-eye, combined with a dragonization knot.


Thank you for your help. That slit in the organ Korina told me about seems to be working just fine.
Yeah.


 Amy seemed to be rooted to the fact that Amira had taken a break first, but she didn't complain because she understood the difference in attack power. Tsutomu replaced the empty blue potion bottle with laborious words and medics to her.


''If it looks like that, it should be able to break your lungs in no time.
But it's going to play again.
''Even so, I don't think we can win without leaving the sore old dragon's healing ability to increase, because I don't think we can win without leaving his liver unattended. Right now, we have no choice but to believe that it won't regenerate and destroy the organ thoroughly.
That's right. ........But a dragon in such a splendid state is named after a blazing old dragon, it's kind of strange. It's not bothering me at all.


 The name of the Glazed Ancient Dragon was already known by Amy, who could tell the monster's official name through her appraisal skills. However, after annihilating Korina and her friends, the blazing old dragon changed from its initial form to a godlike one when it became a full-fledged dragon.

 If you only look at its shape, the name "Blazing Old Dragon" doesn't suit you. Although his figure is made up of a bunch of organs and blood vessels, the word "sore" does not apply to him. Even as Tsutomu, "Live Dungeon! One of the concerns is the deviation from the appearance of the old dragon, who was an undead-type monster with sore skin as his name suggests in


''Power Slash!


 While talking like that, Amira cut both tubes at the base of her lungs, using the slit Amy had attached, and dropped the organs on either side to the ground. With Amy biting her teeth gingerly at the sight of it, Tsutomu stared at the sore old dragon.

 As soon as the lungs were destroyed, some of the black blood that controls the regeneration of organs fell to the ground as if it were popping out. Then the blood weapon that was closing in on Galum to pierce it stopped moving for a moment and immediately began to rush to the black blood clot that fell to the ground.

 The blood that had formed the weapon returned to liquid and mingled with the black blood. Then, as it rises from the ground, it forms into a human shape like a gnome. The thick red armor and large shield, height taller than Tsutomu, and ears that hang down, which is rare among dog people.

 The clot of blood looks as if it was cut out of Daryl's silhouette. The antibodies were made to destroy the pathogens that were eating away at the burning old dragon's body. The antibodies jumped up from the spot as they held the large shield in front of them and began to head in a straight line to Amira, whose lungs were destroyed.
