(You're out when you let him die. Shit.)


　Tsutomu's insides were raging in front of Amy and Garum, who would have been turned into undead, but his body was backing up as if to flee against them.


(From the well-timed annihilation of the alter ego and the blood weapon, it must mean that I should fight the two of them instead... but there's no sign of the blazing old dragon's main body being jittery. (Besides, those two should be dead, but they're continuing to fly, and that's not even close to ignoring the specs).


"Live Dungeon! In this case, the main body of the hierarchical lord would not move in this kind of situation, but the fiery old dragon is ready to shoot a breath as if to say, "I don't care about such specifications. Besides, the fact that Amy floated with her fly while using the boost, it's obvious that perhaps Garum can also use the levitation and skills of the fly.


''...Combat, Cry.''
Ah!
Medic.


　Anyone who retains their reason would not be caught by the Combat Cry, but that is difficult to do in the state of dragonization. Tsutomu immediately unleashes a medic on Amira, who is about to lose her mind after being hit by the red fighting spirit emanating from Garum, to bring her back to her senses. Following that, he tried to fly at Daryl, who seemed to be delirious, but surprisingly, he didn't seem to be caught, so he stopped midway.


'Breath is coming!　Don't get caught up in the garm and eat it!
Yes!
I knew it!


　Of the three, Daryl, who was most upset by Amy and Garum's undeadness, followed up into the sky, replying in a blown-out voice. Amira followed with an irritated look and avoided the corrosion breaths that were released from the mouth of the blazing old dragon.


'Daryl, try shooting a Combat Cry at the two of them. If you are able to catch them, I'll let Amira attack Amy while fishing for them. I'll take care of the blazing old dragon in the meantime, but it will take some time to get the initial hate, so just don't get hit by the corrosion breaths in the meantime.
Yes.


　Daryl's expression as he nodded to Tsutomu as he spoke while moving on the fly completely exuded anxiety. If he assumed a situation where he had to deal with Garum and Amy at the same time in a mock battle, there was only a future where he would be killed instantly, so it was no wonder he was anxious. Tsutomu smiled bitterly to ease his anxiety.


''If they are caught by Combat Cry, the other party has no reason. I'm sure that even if they use their skills, they will be less competent than usual, and I will support Daryl thoroughly. I'm more worried about that because in the unlikely event that I don't catch it, I'll end up being killed in the blink of an eye. Just be more enthusiastic than usual and use the Combat Cry.

I'm going to have to do something. Amira should aim at the soft Amy and take her down. One-on-one with Garum, Daryl won't die too soon.
It's a pain in the ass because he takes his time. And this time...
'I can't use it as long as Garm is around. And I already know that if he hits the Combat Cry, he'll catch me.
Tsk.


　Amira let out a tongue lashing as she was practically sealed off from dragonization. Since her standing is centered on her unique skill, Dragonization, it's painful to have it blocked. Tsutomu, who was looking at her from the side, pointed towards the blazing old dragon.


''If this is a mock battle, it would be quite a tough situation, and those two would obviously be tougher than their previous alter egos as far as their movements are concerned. See, that gesture looks like Amy, who is completely bored?


　Amy, who had taken refuge in the shoulder blades of the blazing old dragon, was moving the twin swords in both hands as if they were pen spins. On the other hand, Garum was staring at me with a monster-eyed stare as he held his large shield firmly in place. It's clear that this is different from the previous blood alter egos that had only inherited their status, and it's likely that even their abilities have been inherited.


''But it's a better situation than winning a mock battle against two people who were alive. You can use the skills for real battles that you couldn't use in the mock battle. This is your chance to show the great swordsmen that dragonization isn't the only thing that matters.
I don't know what you're talking about.


　It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family, because it's the man in front of you who first told you that the only thing he had going for him in the beginning was dragonization. But despite her sullen tone, she had a smile on her face that didn't seem bad.


''Daryl, as in the mock battle, be aware of critical decisions and buy time. The same movements as before will work well enough. This is the critical point, keep your spirits up.
I know.
All right, then. Use it now.
...Combat Cry


　Daryl looked inexplicably at Garum, who had his arms crossed with the same look on his face as usual, but Tsutomu forced him back and launched a Combat Cry.


''Protection, Haste.''


　At the same time, Tsutomu simultaneously applied Protection and Haste to both of them, and the first thing he did was to send Heel and Medic bullets at Galum. The wound on Garum's head, which did not even try to avoid it, had slightly recovered, and there was no indication that his condition disorder had been lifted.


(Is this a pattern that doesn't work for the heel system? If that's the case, it's impossible to operate an aura heal system that involves the Blazing Old Dragon. If it's not useful here, it's doubtful where it will be useful. ........I mean, what kind of specifications were those? (You don't mean he's thinking about it, do you?


　While inwardly prodding at the still-uselessness of Aura Heal's wide range of recovery effects, Hey Pass!　And when he saw Amy appealing to him with a gesture as if she were demanding a soccer ball, Tsutomu almost lost his nervousness for the first time since he came here.

　Normally, she'd probably see that Garum had recovered, and then she'd get herself one!　But it is very troublesome that he has that much thinking ability even though he is supposed to be undead. However, he seems to be getting the hate effect of the Combat Cry, so it's best to think that he has the intelligence of a chimpanzee, which is close to a human.

　Lastly, why don't they pass me!　But after appealing to his frustration to the fullest extent, he flew a ray of holy light at Garum, who was riding the blazing old dragon, while trying not to look at Amy, who turned her attention towards Daryl, who flew his combat cry. Then he confirmed that the holy attribute was effective, because unlike before, he defended it firmly with his large shield.

　Then Garum jumped down from the blazing old dragon while blocking the hollies with his large shield and rapidly approached Daryl with his momentum.


''Shield Bash.''
Mr. Garm...!


　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good look at your own personal history. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on.


''Tch.''
"....Ssangha...slash...
Carl Breakthrough!


　It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

　Perhaps it was surprising that the twin-wave slash was dispelled, but Amy slowly closed the distance between the two swords while wavering her twin swords, holding up her missing cat ears as if she were wary. It's a perfect time for you to be able to close the distance immediately if you try to launch a big swing attack, but if you wait and see what happens, you will be pushed with your hands. Amira barked at that standpoint, which she had seen many times in mock battles.


"You look like you're really alive!　It's a pain in the ass!
It's not just that I don't want to be bothered, I don't even want to move.


　Hearing Amira's angry voice, Tsutomu couldn't help but complain inwardly about such a thing, while he broke out in a cold sweat in front of the burning old dragon that was still staggering around. A situation where he had to take on the hate of the monster himself, the only trauma he had been killed by. But if he didn't do this, Daryl and Amira would be unable to focus on the battle and the chances of losing would increase, so he had no choice but to play that role.


'Holy Wing.'


　The bones that make up the body of the Blazing Old Dragon are extremely durable, making it nearly impossible for even Amira to deal decent damage. Therefore, the 'Live Dungeon! So, the usual method was to dare to recover the blazing old dragon, incarnate it, and then hit that spot to gain damage.

　However, there are still organs that seem to be losing their functions now, so if you hit them, the attack will pass. A bundle of sacred feathers flew like an arrow towards the only moving gray heart within it, and stabbed it while dispelling the evil spirit floating on its surface. The blazing old dragon that was hit by the attack stopped moving while letting out a disgusted grunt, and quickly switched its target to us.


''Medic, Holy, Heal.''


　I managed to push down the fear of the blazing old dragon, which I caught earlier than I expected, as I managed to push down the fear of the blazing old dragon coming towards me, while also interfering with the battle by flying a holley against Garum while restoring support to Daryl.


''Shield bash!''
..........
Medic, holly.


　Even though the opponent is an undead who inherited Garum's abilities and has an untiring body, Daryl is behind "Live Dungeon! We have a healer waiting in the wings who can be at the top of the clan battle at Daryl is also tireless because he's being passed around more than usual with a single tank, and yet he's able to fight with his VIT and AGI up a notch.


'Haste,'
....


　He also incorporates some of the more subdued obstructions that are unique to this world, such as hitting Garm with a single hastening bullet so small that it unravels in seconds and messes with his sense of speed.


'Daryl, use Combat Cry on a regular basis. Even if Amy doesn't catch it completely, she'll be distracted by it, creating an opening. Also, Garm's attacks are inconsequential except for his jointed techniques. Use your high VITs to push her around. Amira should aim for a distraction from Amy. You'll be able to avoid the Powerslurge, so use the Ittohachi or Air Slurge. The opponent's VIT is fragile, so you can take a light one as well.


　It is troublesome that the two undead have a certain amount of thinking ability and competence combined, but then you can switch the way you fight to a battle against them. Daryl and Amira, who had a hard start at the beginning due to Tsutomu's supportive recovery and obstruction, which is unrivaled if you make people think about what they don't want to do, and the strategy he presents after observing the battle, have gained momentum.


''Phew........''


　However, the two of them are in need of support recovery and battle, while also earning the hate of the burning old dragon, which is the object of fear, which is cutting down Tsutomu's energy. Normally, you can breathe as fast as you can breathe, but when you see the burning old dragon in front of you, you're going to be distracted.

　After the creation of the two undead dragons, the Searing Old Dragon couldn't even manipulate blood, and now there was nothing to fear except its huge body and its Corrosion Breath. Looking at its performance alone, it was like a slow mounted golem, but just the fact that it was aiming at him was a huge pressure for Tsutomu.

　However, if he didn't do his best, he would be burned and killed by the old dragon again. Just to prevent that possibility, Tsutomu choked down his nausea and did not relax his support recovery and interference even in the face of the burning old dragon.


(The blazing old dragon still had the next step in this pattern, too. By then, I want to make sure to crush Garum and Amy at least. It would be best if we could revive them... but that's a dubious place to be.)


　Based on the previous specifications, the white mage's revivable time is five minutes, so there's a good chance that the two of them won't be able to be revived anymore. If that's the case, there's a possibility that the two undead people will be reused, so we need to crush them completely. In order to do so, we will probably need to defeat them with holy attribute weapons.


'Amira, please use that great sword to stop Amy. If we defeat it with the Holy Attribute, the undead will probably not resurrect.
Okay.


　After being distracted repeatedly by Daryl's Combat Cry, Amy is getting hit more and more often, and the game is already starting to lean towards Amira winning. Tsutomu tells her about it while there is still time to spare, and when Daryl, who is also showing his understanding, confirms it, he turns to the blazing old dragon.

　Amy's right calf has been deeply slashed by the Itto Wave, the only flying tool of the great swordsman, and her movement is now limited by her body structure. Garum's is not affected that much, but that's the same for Daryl, so if Amira joins in, she will be able to take him down at once.


''Keep quiet........''


　The rest would be easier if the blazing old dragon was quiet, but Tsutomu was wary of its apparent weakness - or worse, the way it seemed to be conserving its strength. Then, as if reacting to Tsutomu's mutterings, the blazing old dragon released a breath of corrosion as if it were a spitfire.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic. It's not just a matter of time before you get to know the black eye holes that are missing, but also the blazing old dragon raises its right arm and grabs its left chest - a little bit of its beating heart. A roar that seemed to echo from the depths of the cave.


(His stomach has been destroyed, so it shouldn't be like a rabid dragon... what?　(What are you doing?)


　The appearance of the sore old dragon, which is trying to tear the heart out of your body while making a chirping sound as it is, reminded Tsutomu of the self-eating action of a tyrannical dragon. However, since his stomach had already been completely destroyed and that part of his stomach was a gaping hole, he would not be able to do anything by eating his heart.

　I'm not sure if that would be effective, although in response to the unintended action, Tsutomu did his best to fire a holy grail at the heart, but I'm not sure if that would be effective. And then the blazing old dragon, which tore off its own heart, crouched down to hold it. Then, two things resembling the light of a raise shot up from the center of the sore old dragon.


''Hey.....


　The light bounced in the sky and two streaks of light fell, at the same time, the Blazing Old Dragon raised itself up. The heart in his hand was like burnt charcoal, but instead, there were two brand new organs in the abdomen of the blazing old dragon.

　The lungs and liver, which should have been completely destroyed, had come back to life in a beautiful way. And the blazing old dragon, which had literally come back to life, used its lungs to take a large breath of air.


''Amira!　Daryl!　Fall back into the air!


　When the two of them retreated into the sky in response to the voice, a breath of corrosion that was much larger in scale than it had been earlier fell on them. Amy, who hadn't been able to evacuate in time, immediately rotted away, and Garum, who had a high VIT, also endured for a little while, but in the end, the impact of being blown away rotted away the knots in her body.


''What the hell?!''
(...what the hell is this?)


　While Amira was startled in front of the suddenly enhanced Corrosion Breath, Tsutomu saw despair in front of him. The blazing old dragon, which had gained the ability to regenerate due to the resurrection of his liver, was about to rise again.


''Raise!　Raise!


　I fired a series of raises to bring Garum and Amy back to life, but their skills didn't respond to my voice. On the contrary, the two who were supposed to have been rotted away by the functioning of their livers were regenerated in no time at all, and they began to pick up the equipment that had managed to retain their original form.


(..........they're trying to kill us. (He's completely trying to kill me)


　In front of Garum and Amy, who were steadily preparing for battle, Tsutomu visibly flinched. It's not because of the ugly appearance of his two companions, but because of the will that can be seen through them from behind - a clear intent to kill from God.

　Even at the time of the first kill at the end of his life, that killing intent could be felt, albeit only slightly. But the absurd reality that is before us now made that killing intent clear. He had no intention of returning it alive. No matter how much I tried my best.


I'm dying. I'm dying again. Oh, shit, shit, shit...!　I'm not going to die!　Why did I have to do this to myself!　(Don't be silly!!!)


　The worst situation is having to deal with the undead Garum and Amy while the old dragon is seared by the liver and regenerating. Faced with the reality of not wanting to even think about what's going to happen next, Tsutomu immediately waved his staff in his hand and chanted a skill.


''Protection, Haste!　Daryl!　Take your hate!　Amira's top priority is to destroy the liver!　The only thing we can't do is leave our regeneration capabilities to chance!


　But still, Tsutomu couldn't give up on victory and life. 'Live Dungeon!' As a healer, he had the willpower not to throw down the gauntlet, even in the desperate situation that the PT members were spooning him in, and his strong attachment to life. These two things motivated Tsutomu to give instructions to Daryl, who was stunned, and to Amira, who was frozen in surprise.


'Daryl, don't be a bozo!　Let's go!
Yes, sir!


　Daryl finally came to his senses after being kicked in the back by Amira, and he quickly took the hate out of both of them with a Combat Cry. But as soon as Amira hit a power slash to the liver, they ignored Daryl and headed towards her.


'Combat Cry.'
"Boost.
These guys?


　The characteristics of a blood alter ego that goes after those who destroy organs rather than hate were also inherited by the two undead people. Therefore, Amira's hands were too full to avoid the attacks of the two, and she couldn't move.


(I'm stuck......... (Dying)


　There aren't enough people in the PT to deal with the current situation. While he was thus stranded, the rebirth of the blazing old dragon was progressing. The word "jamming" weighs heavily on Tsutomu's mind. Being stuck means that he will die again. The Glazed Ancient Dragon will kill me again. Death.


''Ha..........''


　As soon as the future of death was confirmed, fear took over Tsutomu's mind. He was going to die no matter what he had to do anymore. That fact lowered the temperature of Tsutomu's body, and he couldn't stop the chill and cold sweat. He would be floating on the fly as usual, but his vision would be drowned and he would not be able to stay in the air.

　The road to survival gets farther and farther away as time goes on. Still, we manage to disguise our fears and continue the fight until that path is cut off. But that is only a life-prolonging measure, and there is no fundamental solution anywhere.


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


　And when the seared old dragon, which had repeatedly regenerated its organs, finally began to regenerate its brain, Tsutomu, who had descended to the ground, saw the ancient castle of oblivion standing in front of him.


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


　Daryl and Amira's eyes hadn't died yet. But the decision was made quickly after Tsutomu took a step towards that old castle.

　Tsutomu ran straight out and ran away from the battlefield alone.
