(After all, twin swordsmen are stronger when they can operate buscan. And probably more useful in this world.)


　A small move that allows you to cancel a variety of moves by momentarily accelerating when you use a boost, commonly known as a buscan, is called "Live Dungeon! It is a move that can be said to be essential for the swordsmen of the United States. The ability to cancel gaps in attack skills and rise from a resuscitation, so whether or not you can do the buscan makes a huge difference in game speed.

　However, Amy didn't like it because of its shaky movements, and we didn't see her use it much at first. But recently, she seems to have realized the potential of the buscan, and now she's morphed into a move that looks like a transitioned player.


(It's heartbreaking to think he'll even do an ugly dance one day.)


　The ugly dance that turned into a fast-moving object while scattering white smoke by dashing and using a lot of buscans was a common sight after the raid battle victory. Tsutomu remembers this and sends support recovery to Amy, who is being targeted by her reappearing red Garum alter ego.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in the world, but it's also a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in the world. Therefore, she was able to deal with her alter ego with a steady stand without being hit so much.


''Shine!''


　Having observed Amira and Daryl fighting just now, I know that the red alter is not so effective with blows, but instead slashes are effective. This is because the slash can weaken the red alter by making blood flow.

　This makes it a good match for the twin swordsman Amy, who can efficiently cause a bleeding state. And because of its garmic form, it has enough intentions to kill. Even now, he's still able to slash the base of his thighs while diving under his alter ego's crotch, which is as deft as if he was expecting to fight against a giant.


(Dealing with the alter ego is no longer a problem. Garum and Daryl are also getting used to the blood weapon attacks. The destruction of their organs is going pretty well, and with this, it looks like there's no problem going forward...)


　If we are referring to the O(O) raid fight, the current situation is a perfect 100 points. Since he was able to completely destroy his liver, he doesn't have to worry about a long battle due to regeneration, and he can destroy other organs to further weaken them. That way, he would have more time to focus his attacks immediately after the brain regenerates, and he would be able to destroy it, which would also prevent the healer crushers from ignoring the hate.

　But even in the midst of such a situation, Tsutomu's anxiety could not be dispelled. The reason for this was the first time killing in the Battle of the Narrow End of Nature.

　The concept of the Battle of the End of the Millennium is that it is important to manage the petrification of the PT, and this is the concept of combat. Fear of petrification causes too much hate if you heal too finely, while letting it progress too far can be a problem in battle. That's why healers who can manage petrification were useful, and attackers and tanks who don't easily get attacked by petrification were also useful. That's what the management would have wanted as well.

　But the new attacks that had been added to this world's coming of age were like a reversal of the constrained combat concept of petrification. It was a true first-time kill attack, instantly killing those whose petrification had progressed even slightly. Indeed, daring to add the opposite constraint was not a bad idea. However, Tsutomu was resentful of the fact that this restriction was so heavy.


(The guy who added such a shitty action at the end of his life is ending up with this level of change for the blazing old dragon?


　There is no way to know who and how they create the monsters that appear in God's dungeon. But if the same people as the Naraku are also creating the Blazing Old Dragon, I don't think they're staying at the level of introducing the specifications of O, the back dungeon raid boss, and adding a blood alter ego.


''Huh.''


　A sigh escaped him. It was mixed with anger, like when something that had been completed was poorly decorated, but it came out of something else that concerned him more. It came out so naturally that even Tsutomu himself was surprised, but he immediately sent a heel to Amy, who erased her worried expression and made her disappear by spilling a large amount of blood from her red alter ego.

　From then on, the blood alter egos that periodically appeared were surpassed by Amy and Amira, who were destroying organs in turn, and they succeeded in completely destroying the liver, followed by the stomach and lungs. This made it impossible to recover from eating the explorers and absorbing their abilities when they returned to the living dragon, and the ability to send oxygen to the blood also ceased, which eliminated the intense speed of the blood weapon.

　This reduced the burden on the tank, which gave Garum enough room to earn hate from attacks, and Tsutomu was able to put up a barrier to himself without consuming blue potions. Such a situation continued for a while, and he was able to destroy organs one after another.


''...?　This is.....


　The first person to notice the change was Garum, who was facing the burning old dragon. The smell of blood emanating from the blood weapon that had been handling the attack from earlier smelled even thicker. And the feel of the blood weapon, which had been hard enough to shatter just now, was beginning to dull, albeit slightly.


''Tsutomu!
Tsutomu!


　Amy, who was fighting the blood alter ego at the same time as Garum, also felt somewhat uncomfortable. The response was slightly softer, yet the color of the blood appeared slightly darker. She also raised her voice to tell him that there were signs of such a change, but she was roundly covered with Garum in front of her. The battlefield instantly became quiet.


''There's something strange about the feel of the blood weapon!　And it seems to me that the bloody smell is getting stronger!
'I think my blood is turning a darker color!　Also, the feel is so soft and weird!
"...got it. This could be a sign of new behavior, so you two need to stand back and stand your ground.


　They were silent for a moment at that, but quickly uttered the information at the same time. Hearing those two's words, Tsutomu sent instructions with a divine face and uttered a blue potion so that he could respond to whatever came his way.


(Judging from the bloody smell and the change in color, it feels like he's going back to his original blazing old dragon?　If that's the case, then maybe the holy attributes will start to work. The undead systems are blatantly frightened, so that's what I'd hope for, but maybe something close to a first kill again. We'll see how it goes at first, and if someone dies, we can revive them immediately. (And with the current hate, I don't have a problem with resuscitating four people.


　From Tsutomu, who is observing the blazing old dragon from a distance, the change cannot be confirmed. However, assuming that the information from the two people on the front lines is correct, he examines the information and thinks about his own moves in advance, predicting what will happen in the future.

　Because he had thought about the fact that there would be a first-time kill similar to Naraku's, Tsutomu had made sure that he had a steady stand that didn't earn him any hate until now. In addition to the risky strategy of destroying organs, he was also able to create insurance by putting up a barrier against himself because he was able to go further behind the scenes thanks to the success of Garum and Amy. There is no lack of preparation against the unknown attack.


'.........Hey, there's a suspicious sign....


　Amira muttered as she wiped the blood on the great sword with a cloth to maintain its sharpness. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you can see the miasma of a high-ranking undead monster. The miasma that emanates from the freshly shorn flesh of the bones is a miasma that makes the heart of life shine brightly and quickly turn darker and darker. It is a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　And just as the two people on the front lines had warned them, the blood that was circulating around their bodies turned black like waste oil and began to become sticky like sludge. A similar change occurred in the blood weapon that flew through the air and the alter ego that mimicked Garum's appearance, and the two who were facing each other sensed the danger and avoided the attack.


''Kuch...!


　But even though Amy was still agile, it was impossible for Garum to avoid all the dozens of blood weapons that were coming at him. There was no way to avoid the pitch-black spear that was sent flying from his evasive target, and he reluctantly tried to catch it with his great shield.


''Holy.''


　However, the spear was purified and melted away by the white light released from behind Garum's rear, and it was gone. Tsutomu, who had guessed that the blazing old dragon had returned to its original specifications, released a holy attribute holy holy, offsetting the evil blood weapon.


''Daryl, change equipment to this and then switch. Garum, I'll take care of the ones that seem unavoidable. Just keep on dodging the blood weapon and get past it.


　Tsutomu shoved his left hand into his magic bag and randomly dropped Daryl's equipment on the ground while he intercepted the blood weapon that was aimed at Garum with a holley. He then gestured for Amira to help him put on the equipment, and he also dropped the white greatsword with the holy attribute granted to it that he had had created at the Doren Workshop on the spot.


''Excuse me, please!
What a pain in the ass...


　Knowing that it would take a long time for Daryl to try to equip the heavy armor by himself while swearing, Amira immediately began helping him put on the equipment. It was a jet-black heavy armor with a dark attribute that was obtained from the treasure chests of the Light and Dark hierarchy.

　Since the holy and the dark are each other's weakest attributes, when attacking the current Blazing Old Dragon, you need to use the holy attribute weapon, and when defending against it, you need to equip the dark attribute armor. Until now, the Blazing Old Dragon didn't have any particular attribute, so it was equipped for physical defense, but seeing that strange change, Tsutomu instructed him to switch equipment.


''Huh?''


　And just as she was about to send Amy additional instructions to evacuate, a voice sounded as if she was startled. She turned around and saw the right half of her alter ego in front of her, who was fighting a little distance away, swelling up as if it had become swollen.


Get away from me!


　The moment he saw the alter ego, which was rapidly expanding and about to explode, Tsutomu tried to secure Amy's safety by putting up a barrier to cut off the space between them. But at the same time, the alter ego self-destructed, spraying itself with blood and scattering all the pieces of blood that were hardening like a grenade at once.

　The fragments did not do that much damage to Tsutomu and the others, who were at a certain distance from the alter ego. But Amy, who was closest to them, had been hit by the shards all over her body, and her eyes were already devoid of life.


(If it's a mutual strike, fine.)


　I check for a moment to see a fragile light leaking out of Amy's body, while covering Garum by holing down the throbbing blackened blood weapons one after another.

　At worst, he could have held it until Daryl's equipment change was over, so he was thankful that his alter ego had gone out of his way to self-destruct. Besides, Tsutomu had been preparing for this kind of unforeseen situation, and had been standing soberly with less hate from the blazing old dragon until now. It's not even a burden to revive at least one person.


''I'm done changing!
All right, let's switch places with Garum. I'm sure your equipment will protect you if you get hit in the worst case scenario, but stay alert and try. Raise.


　Tsutomu raised his wand and chanted a raise as soon as he instructed Daryl to do so.


''........Ah?''


　An unusual and obvious feeling of discomfort. I can't see the light that comes out like a firework when I raise. And the sensation of using mental power doesn't come either.

　We should have seen the light that determined death. But in rare circumstances, Tsutomu looked at Amy to send her a high heel, as there are situations where she can recover even when that light appears. Then she staggered to her feet and stared at me.


''..........''


　Amy's body, with its low VIT, is tattered like a corpse on the battlefield as she is ejected with a single piece of hardened blood at close range. Especially noticeable is the hole in her head. A splinter of blood should definitely have pierced her brain as she is injured so deeply that she can almost see across the landscape. Normally, he would have been judged an instant death and his body would have already disappeared.

　Various predictions run through Tsutomu's mind, leading him to a conclusion as soon as Amy, who should be dead, takes a step forward.


''Daryl!　Hate this side of the--
BOO STRIKE


　At the same time as her voice, Amy's corpse even used her skills and closed the gap between her and Tsutomu in an instant. His eyes widened at the action and he reflexively jumped back, but she ran past him to Galum, who was being targeted by the blood weapon.


'Daryl!　Take your hate on Amy!　I'm becoming a monster!
What?


　Amy pops up in front of Garm's eyes while Daryl is suspended in thought for a fraction of a second due to the suddenness of the event.


'Tsk!'


　Garum blocked the slash of the twin swords swung at her neck with her large shield, but she spun around and delivered a spinning kick on the spot. The kick itself wasn't very powerful, but as it was, Garum was sent flying backwards in the form of a bullet.

　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

　For a little while, Garum's limbs were flapping, but as soon as the black hammer disappeared as if it were being sucked directly into him, he stopped moving. Then, after convulsing his body several times while leaking the light of the death verdict, he fell from the air to the ground. At the same time, the blood weapons that were floating around disappeared like rotting plants and trees.


''........Hahaha....


　And when he saw that Garum, who had gotten up with a whimper, was clearly not in his right mind, Tsutomu couldn't help but let out a dry chuckle that didn't fit the scene of the battle.
