Chapter 139: Collision of defense method and capture group in the forest
Chapter 139: Collision of defense method and capture group in the forest
After finishing dinner with my step sisters and taking a bath, I logged into the game and found no players.
"It looks like everyone is on the defense"
"...Grave"
"We have to hurry too!"
Certainly it is bad if we do not hurry. However, I heard the sound of trees falling down right now.
"Is it the boar leader again?"
"If that's the case, it's going to be tough without Takuto-kun's golem. And it seems to ignore the player's attacks"
"...It's coming"
"Let's show it, the power of the Konoe family!"
""Oo!""
Hmm? Am I being counted?
"Nii-chan, answer"
"O, Oo"
I guess I was counted...so I formed a party with Mel and the others.
And what appeared while knocking down the trees was a giant caterpillar. I've seen it before. A giant caterpillar. I'll identify it for now.
Tank Caterpillar Lv16
Event Monster Subjugation Target Active
"It's King!"
"Isn't that Mora?"
Ah, there it is. But it's not similar. It's just a normal giant caterpillar. It's an event monster, though and it's purple.
"Takuto-kun, you summon the golem and the girl who can use fire magic"
"Understood. Come! Koihi, Kurogane!"
I summoned Koihi and Kurogane and immediately gave them instructions.
"Kurogane, stop that guy. Koihi use fox fire and flame magic"
"Yes!"
"Mirai, can you heal Kurogane?"
"...I'll do it
Then I'll join in with fire magic.
"Mel-neechan, I'll do it!"
"Yes! I'll relieve the stress I've been feeling from being forced to be a tank on a daily basis!"
I knew she was feeling stressed.
Kurogane stopped the Tank Caterpillar, but he was being pushed back. I buffed him and it finally stopped. Phew.
"Let's go! Haaa! Heavy Slash!"
"Fighting Spirit! Yaaa! Upper!"
"Fox Fire!"
The two of them fire a series of martial arts, but the damage is weak. Koihis fox fire is doing some damage. I'm not sure if insects are vulnerable to fire after all.
Then reinforcements arrive. It's Ruin-san's group.
"I'm sorry! We've been overtaken"
"No, No. It ignored us"
It's true that we can't return to death, so we can't blame ourselves for being overtaken. Anyway, Ruin-san and the others attacked from behind and did some damage.
"Heat Lance!"
My red beam burns through the Tank Caterpillar.
"Koihi!"
"Yes! Flame Circle!
Red flames erupt from beneath the Tank Caterpillar, burning it to a crisp.
"Now!"
"Attack! Attack!"
The Tank Caterpillar is defeated by the players' combined attack. Ruin and the others come from the players shouting their victory.
"Thank goodness Takuto-kun and the others were there in time"
"After all, did it ignore your attacks?"
"Yes"
Then Senta-san and Rekka talk.
"We tried to intercept it once we detected it, but we were outmatched"
"Even wall magic couldn't stop it, it ignored magic. I tried to turn it over, but I got stuck because I couldn't lift it. We have to think about something. We can't talk about not being able to defend ourselves every time Takuto is logged out"
"You're right. We have to think about something...but how do we stop a giant monster?"
Then Yug-san raised her hand.
"Yes, yes! I think we should make a fence out of wood!"
"Will that work against an enemy that's coming while reaping trees?"
"N, Not good?"
Yug-san is depressed, but a savior appears. It's Mel.
"I think it depends on how you make it. If you make it with the body of a giant enemy in mind, it will be effective, won't it?"
"Haa!? I have an idea! I might be able to work something out!"
It's a fence that uses more wood to stop a normal fence from being pushed. But there were many problems.
"How are we going to set up this huge fence?"
"We'll use Takuto-kun's golem for that!"
You're relying on Kurogane...Yug-san.
"Then, how much time do we have to set it up? It's time to set up in this area"
"Emm... is it too much to ask for a week?"
That's right. It would be nice if they were all coming from the same place, but they're probably coming from different places. One place would be enough, though.
Umm...a way to defend ourselves in a short time...not that we don't have a way, but it's not a sure thing.
"Isn't there any idea, Takuto?"
Bean sprouts. Why are you asking?
"Why are you asking me?
"You're good at thinking about these things, aren't you?"
I don't know what she's thinking about.
"What do you think?"
Even Ruin-san...haa.
"I can't say for sure, but I have a few ideas. First of all, we can use the earth magic Bottomless Swamp to sink it"
"Bottomless Swamp...you know a lot of magic I didn't know, but can you drop it?"
"Probably not"
"That's no good. What else?"
"Wire traps. That's the real deal"
Rekka and Yug-san talk.
"I see. If there's a wire, there's a chance we can stop it"
"So we're going to set it in big trees. The question is, will the trees and the wire hold?"
That's the problem, isn't it?
"Is there anything else?"
"I don't know if it'll work either, but there's a way to put sticky thread on the ground"
"It's an adhesive trap...it's going to catch players..."
I look at Arleigh.
"Why are you looking at me? Because I won't get caught!"
No~, I believe you will do it.
"Let's try the wire trap anyway. It's better to do something than nothing"
So, I summon Aranea. I provide the thief players with hard thread and we work together to set the traps. After two hours of waiting for the enemy. Koihi senses it.
"Coming! And I hear a lot of footsteps"
"I see them too. Players are being chased. The enemy is the Boar Leader! It's the third trap!"
Tristan tells me. The combination of night vision and eagle eye skill is very effective.
We set up five wire traps for now because we don't know where the enemy will come from. Only Aranea and the thief players can set traps, so we were limited to five traps, but it was a good idea to set them elsewhere.
"All of you, go to the third trap! Takuto-kun, you're in charge of defending the base"
"Yes. Don't die, Rekka"
"Why are you flagging me for death?"
Because you talked to me.
But the death flag didn't work. The battle ended without our participation.
"I didn't get to fight, did I?"
Aranea's trap worked. We can't fight forever. We need to rest when we can"
"Yes"
Among the players who joined us were Rook and the others. There was another party with iron equipment. The players known as the capture group have gathered. Now we've got a lot more strength for defense.
"Takuto...and others...jo...joining...be able...Im happy..."
"If you're tired, don't strain yourself, okay?"
While Rook and the others were resting, I cooked boar meat for my summoned beasts. But there's a problem.
Ji
I'm surrounded by summoned beasts and tamed monsters!?
Each summoner and beastmaster tries to do something about it, but they're completely locked onto the boar meat.
As a result, I decided to make it for everyone...I'll have to be careful in the future.
"What is this...this feeling of defeat"
"I, It's okay! Yuuna! Takuto-san is a summoner, so I'm sure it's just a special effect that's occurring!"
I'm sure there's an effect like what Haru-san says...I have the feeding skill.
"So you're the young girl summoner they're talking about?"
The one who talked to me was an iron-equipped knight. The knight doesn't have a good image. The monsters around me threaten all at once.
"Oh, scary. However we can't attack them during the event, right?"
That was the rule. I used synchro on Koihi.
Koihi, stay away
Are you okay, Takuto-san? I don't get a good feeling about this guy
I'm sure he does. I'm being completely provoked.
I know...it seems like he wants to talk to me. I'll just go and finish the conversation
Okay. Please be careful?
Yes
"Oh, right. So, you want to talk to me about something? There are summon and tame monsters here, do you want to change places?"
"The story is quick. This way"
I come to the place where the capture group is.
"So what do you want to talk about? If you want me to show you the young girls, you'll have to wait for your turn"
Of course there is no such thing as a waiting list.
"We have no taste for young girls or monsters"
Eh?
Hey. I'm sure you're the only one.
"...Isn't it?"
No
Don't scare me. Are you okay? These guys?
"Let me get this straight. You set that wire trap, didn't you?"
"I'm afraid I don't have that skill. It was my summoned beast that produced the thread and I set the trap with my summoned beast and the thief players over there. What's wrong with that?"
"No, I'm just impressed that you were able to stop that big monster from moving"
"Thank you"
It's weird to be praised by this guy.
"However, you don't know how to use a wire trap. We can do a better job of setting the wire traps, so get that wire over here now"
Here it comes. So you want to steal the results of Aranea and the thieves who set the traps? This guy is the worst.
This makes the thief players angry.
"Wait a minute. What are you doing messing with the trap that saved you? Our trap was able to stop that big boar. What's wrong with that?"
"I said it's not perfect"
"So why don't you just say it?"
"No. You're not going to teach us your skill, are you? Besides, I'm negotiating with this guy. Outsiders shouldn't get involved"
"What!? You bastard"
"That's enough"
Ruin-san enters.
"I have a working relationship with the guy you're talking to. The rights to the wire are held by us in the production profession"
Well, it's not a lie, because I gave the wire to Ruin-san and she gave it to the thief players.
"Then give the wire to me now"
"I hate to tell you, but there is a limit to the wire. You know that his summoned beast can't make an infinite amount of wire, right? If you understand, then we are done. One of our traps has been destroyed, so let's all work together to defend"
After Ruin-san's words, we parted ways. I thanked Ruin-san and we returned to the others and Koihi jumped on me. I'm sorry I made her worry. I ended up finishing the first day of the event here.

Author note:
I know some of you may be worried, so I'll make it clear. This time, it won't happen like it did with Arthur, so don't worry. Also, the leader of the capture group that appeared this time will hardly appear in the future. They will only appear briefly at the end of the event.
