Chapter 137: Gathering friends
Chapter 137: Gathering friends
Cancel Legion summon. The reason for this is to save ingredients because all of us will be less full.
The remaining members are Lily, Setia, Konoha, Yuuga and Aranea and they gather ingredients again.
Konoha flies in the sky and drops apples for us. I saw you eat it without dropping it first, remember? You ate it earlier.
Aranea attaches its sticky thread to the apple and gets the apple. You can do this too? That's convenient. I was expecting to get it because I was climbing up a tree and setting up a trap, but I didn't expect that.
Lily and the others finish off the approaching boars.
Occasionally, a Wolfman would come out, but Lily would finish him off by herself. She pops the Wolfman's claws, stiffens him up and then uses Heavy Slash.
Yeah, yeah, she's getting good at that. Wolfman would be a great training partner for Lily.
I feel sorry for Wolfman, though, because he has to go along with Lily's training. Oh, Wolfman blew up in a big way.
He hits a tree and an apple falls on him. Lucky.
We finished gathering the ingredients and found Tristan and Chiffon ahead of us.
"You're early"
"You know...we're solo, right? It's fine if you just want to kill a boar, but you're risking your life"
"Th, That's right! We have to collect them while we're scared of when the werewolf will come out!"
Ah...it might be tough if you're solo.
"I've been looking at the bulletin board and it looks like a lot of players are coming here. I'm sure some of them will go for the other base areas, but I think they'll all gather here first because they're worried about their satiety levels"
She certainly made it sound like there was more than one base area. And I don't know how many players there are, but I don't think they'll be able to fit.
"I've heard from some of my friends. Ruin-san and her friends will be here too"
"If the producers are coming too, it'll finally be a base"
I know about Ruin-san and the others. Then Chiffon panicked.
"Eh!? B, By any chance, ka, isn't it......emm, Takuto-kuns friend will come too?"
Hmm? My friend...ah, she means Kaito.
"I haven't registered as a friend with him"
"Th, That's terrible..."
"But it'll help Chiffon, right?"
"We, Well, I must admit"
There it is. It's been accepted. I didn't expect her to say something like this. I want to make Kaito listen to it.
"What are you going to do now, Takuto-kun?"
"I'll wait for Ruin-san and the others for now. I have to give them food"
"That's probably a good idea"
When I was talking to Tristan-san, Setia sensed something. At the same time, Yuuga also reacts.
"A big lump of poison is coming here!"
"It looks like the defense is finally on"
"Yes"
At any rate, I'm pretty sure there's a big event monster coming towards us.
"Can you tell which way it's coming?"
"That way"
Tristan was surprised when she saw where Setia was pointing.
"What!? That big boar!? And there's a lot of players being chased!"
A big boar...we fought recently, didn't we? Lily replied.
"The one Lily killed before?"
"Yes, I think so. This time we'll kill it without trump cards"
"I'm on it! Takuto!"
While I'm thinking about how to intercept him, Setia says impatiently,
"Not good! Takuto-sama! If we don't hurry, the beautiful forest will be poisoned!"
What!? Ah, does that mean that the longer the event monster stays in the base area, the fewer ingredients it has?
"It seems we don't have time to think about it"
"It looks like. Can you kill that boar?"
"Yes. I've already beaten him once"
"Then, please. We'll defend here"
"Be careful"
Leave it to me! I'll defeat it today without a trump card!
When we entered the forest, we found a large number of players. Among them were Ruin-san, Mels party, Kaito and various other players. Unfortunately, Chiffon's wish was not conveyed...
Takuto-kun!?
"Hello. Everyone, get together. We're here to kill the giant boar. Can I have it?"
Eh...
"You can kill that thing!?"
Crow-san is surprised. Is it so surprising? You can do it if you plan your strategy properly. I can understand why you would want to run away. I ran away from a wood golem the first time, too.
"I'm sure I can handle it"
When I said that, I focused on the boar leader. Now let's return Aranea and call in our best tank.
"Come! Kurogane!"
I summoned Kurogane to the front of the Boar Leader.
"Go, Golem!?"
"Hugee..."
"L, Looks strong..."
That's what the crowd said, but shouldn't you guys be running?
"Kurogane, stop that thing"
Kurogane stopped the Boar Leader from moving head-on. Yes, this is a dead end. The Boar Leader tried to push Kurogane away, but Kurogane didn't budge. You're looking good! Kurogane!
"Everyone, let's do this!"
"Leave it to me! I'll take him down!"
"It is the duty of the Elves to bring justice to those who defile the forest"
So we'll all bump off the Boar Leader.
"Huu...I'll give you a hand. Buddy"
Kaito says to me. He's obviously aiming for a point.
"Buddy? Did you ever have a partner?"
"Terrible!? Or rather, let me help you!"
Kaito said and the players on the spot agreed.
"That's right!"
"A boar that can't move is just a target!"
"As a gentleman, I can't let only young girls fight"
Yes, Yes. I understand. In the end, we all defeated it. The players are shouting their victory.
"Realize! Big boar!"
"This is our power!"
They're having fun. I guess this is the charm of group battles. And Yuuga and Kurogane leveled up. I was under the impression that the Boar Leader had a lot of experience, but this is it.
And in the end, the Boar Leader only rushed at Kurogane. Was this the kind of monster it was? Something doesn't feel right here. Maybe this thing's goal wasn't the player, but the healing lake beyond Kurogane?
If that's the case, it makes sense why he kept rushing straight for Kurogane.
There's a chance that this thing will ignore the player's attacks.
"A, Amazing..."
"So this is the power of the top Summoner..."
Some people are kind of dumbfounded, aren't they?
"We look like idiots for running away"
"Good afternoon. Ruin-san"
"Yes. It's good to see you. I'm sorry...it's just that I feel like I'm taking over"
"No, I was the one who originally broke in"
"I'm glad you said that. Can you take me to the base area that you mentioned in your email?"
"Yes. This way"
I'll show Ruin-san and the others to the base area for now and then we can talk about various things.
