CH.27 The Truth of Choice

(Today's first update)

"Manual, show me the weakness of Laktoya!"

After seeing those four words, Xia felt a ridiculous feeling in his heart, he was really playing a game? But the situation in front of her was critical, and she didn't think too much about it, trying to shout in her head.

As if in response to her thoughts, the font on the instruction manual disappeared, and a hologram appeared with Raktoya's introduction in red letters.

To Natsu's surprise, the hologram in front of him not only depicted the overall image of the demon in detail, but also gave the core weaknesses and analysis:

Raktoya (Abyssal Demon, Rank S-):

60% reduction in base physical attack, against water, ice/strong; against fire, electricity/weak; Blunt damage is greatly reduced, and slash and piercing effects are slightly increased.

"It seems that I guessed correctly, since even the gods can't interfere in this world, how can they conjure up a game system specifically for themselves? In fact, this manual is just a cheat! ”

When the option first appeared, Natsu was indeed frightened, and at that time he was only thinking about how to choose.

But then, she suddenly discovers a very simple fact: since the world operates autonomously, the options are not actually set for her, but for the official protagonist in the world!

Note that this so-called official protagonist is not the current Lorraine, but the "Lorraine" who has "normally" crossed over, that is, the real protagonist of the crossing!

"Because of Lean's unreasonable sister, it caused confusion in the protagonist's positioning, so this world will definitely be corrected, and the third option that appeared inexplicably is the result of the correction."

"If you choose it just now, it is likely that the future development of the plot will be completely changed, this is the terrible inertia of this world itself, so dangerous...... I almost fell for it. ”

Now Xia can only be glad that his middle second degree is not high enough, and his brain hole is not big enough.

If you are a person who is in full swing, you will definitely choose the question mark option. Why? That's why it's cool! The more unknown the option, the more mysterious and handsome, isn't it?

But if you think that way, you will fall into the trap, and in the future, you will lose the advantage of being a traverser, and the world will return to its normal trajectory, which is the true meaning of the so-called "autonomous operation, no one can interfere".

"But my situation is different, although there have been some accidents, but as a traverser, I still have one of the biggest advantages, that is, I am familiar with the plot!"

So she didn't choose the third, butβ€”the first!

Cause?

The biggest reason is that if she chooses the second or third option, no matter which one she is, Wendy, who is fighting with the S-class demon here, is very likely to die!

Not only Wendy, but in the face of the boss-level storage zΓ i, anyone in the library could die!

This is the cruelty of the battle plot:

Even if you choose the right option, if there is a mistake in the battle, it is very likely that there will be casualties or even total annihilation, resulting in BADEND.

And there is one thing that can be understood even if you don't try, that is, if someone dies in the next battle, it is most likely really dead, and it is impossible to resurrect those who died after the battle like playing a game. Otherwise, even if there is a cheat, the world is too child's play.

- In addition, she is familiar with the plot, and she also knows that Raven is currently safe, and there is no danger of life like Wendy.

So do you still need to think about it?

Of course, if this qiΔ“ chooses the question mark of the third item, it is likely to produce unpredictable changes, and it is difficult to say what will happen at that time, even Raven, who was originally safe, has a high chance of falling into a crisis, so Xia still decided to take the development of the plot in his own hands in the future.

"Edith, you seem to be good at fire magic?"

Natsu suddenly asked Edith in a loud voice.

"Okay, you're trying to ......" Edith was taken aback: she was indeed the best at fire magic, yes, but how did Natsu know? She has been learning an A+-level powerful fire spell for the past half a year, but she has found a separate room to practice in the training ground, and no one else has seen it at all.

"Be careful, the tentacles are here again!"

Abner suddenly sprang up from the ground, collided his shield with the tentacle like a round potato, and with a muffled thud, knocked it away.

"Damn, I don't have enough strength."

Standing on the ground, he cursed, "The tentacles are so elastic and slippery on top that my attacks have been weakened by at least half!" ”

That's of course, the physical attack is reduced by 60%, and the shield you still use. Xia vomited in his heart.

"Natya Vida! Delia! Come on. ”

She suddenly turned her head and shouted down.

"Here we are."

Natia Vida was not called by Wendy, she was just standing below in a hurry, but Xia couldn't care much about it when she called her, so she picked up her staff and rushed to the generator room. Her staff was a short, pitch-black staff, much smaller than the average long staff, and could be wielded nimbly with one hand.

"Where's Deria?"

Xia anxiously looked for the shadow of the werewolf princess in the crowd, and there was a loud shout from Abner, and he struck the attacking tentacles in the air, and fell to the ground staggeringly, obviously this time it was already a little difficult.

"Edith, prepare fire magic! The one who wants you to be the strongest. ”

Natsu took off the long black knife behind his back and rushed towards the tentacles that attacked again!

"Okay, although I don't know what you want to do, but let's say it first, my magic is a single magic, it's better to find out the demon's body, it's too wasteful to hit the tentacles." Edith said helplessly, as a fire erupted around her and began to chant.

"Agile and graceful wind elves, use your selfless blessing to give them agility - the aura of speed!"

"O demonic beast of the earth, please use your hands to give the warrior who stands on your shoulders the strength - the aura of bravery!"

Natia Vida quickly chanted two auxiliary spells in succession, and Abner's body on the other side suddenly shook, and a force surged up from the soles of his feet, and the speed was suddenly a lot faster.

"Failed? How could this be, it's just a D-rank spell! ”

But Natya Vida was taken aback, unlike Abner, the two auras dissipated without a trace before they could be applied to Xia's body, and they had no effect at all.

"Holy Marcia Spirit, please send down the gift of your kindness and bestow your followers with strong faith and unbreakable defenses-"

Wendy held her staff in front of her chest with both hands, and chanted with her head bowed. However, this defensive spell still only worked on Abner and a few mages, and it disappeared immediately when it was cast on Natsu.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this, the three spell experts present were all taken aback.

Xia didn't care about this kind of trivial matter, but appeared behind the tentacle when Abner collided with the tentacle for the third time, held the long knife with both hands, and slashed down at the tentacle!

"Whew――――――――――――――"

A low roar came from the depths of the darkness, and the tentacle as thick as three people was cut off more than a meter long, and green liquid erupted from the section, and half of the tentacle fell heavily to the ground.

This knife is so sharp!

Xia was also surprised.

In fact, she was ready for a hard fight, but she didn't expect it to work with one blow.

"Very good, everyone, keep attacking!"

Seeing that the enemy was injured, Wendy put aside the failure of the magic just now, and shouted happily.

"It's an attack, but I can't cut this thing!" The shield warrior struggled to resist the blow of the tentacles' frenzy, and his broadsword slashed at it with only a white mark. Not to mention cutting off, it can't even hurt at all.

"Don't stand together, be careful! More tentacles are coming! ”

After severing a tentacle, Natsu's chest rose and fell, and he stood there loudly warning everyone.

This intense physical reaction is not due to the consumption of too much just now, but purely a psychological factor.

Unlike the last time she picked up a leak, this is the first time she has officially fought the boss, and she only feels that her wrists and legs are trembling slightly, which is a table of extreme excitement.

"When I was at home, I never thought that I was a guy who naturally likes to fight."

Xia held the handle of the knife, and when he saw the battle scene in front of him, a stream of heat gushed out from the bottom of his heart, his steps seemed to suddenly become lighter, and a familiar rhythm filled his body, as if at this moment, he naturally mastered the essentials of the battle, and was no longer a jerky newcomer.

"Why didn't I notice before, this body seems to be very familiar with the way it looks like a battle."

A swift diagonal slash slashed off a tentacle again, and the green bodily fluids splashed on the ground around it, emitting a fishy smell.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"

After his tentacles were hit hard one after another, Laktuoya seemed to be angry and let out a low roar, and then only a few sounds of destruction of the walls were heard, and Natsu's warning just now became a reality, and from behind everyone, under their feet, and above their heads, seven huge tentacles pierced out in a row!

"Edith, face at 3 o'clock and cast your magic!"

Natsu dodged an angry attack from one of his tentacles and shouted over there.

"I see."

Edith gritted her teeth and pressed the scorching fireball from her hand to the ground:

"--Crush the obstacles in front of you, unleash endless fury, and explode magma bombs!"

The ground began to shake violently, and a few meters in front of her suddenly appeared in an area of viscous lava, which gradually bubbled up more and more, and finally turned into a large magma ball that began to roll forward.

"Click......"

The magma ball scorched all the way to the ground, crashing through the wall in front of it, before slamming into the generator set.

"Boom!!"

After the violent explosion, a tattered green cloth appeared in front of everyone's eyes, floating in the air a few times before falling to the ground, and in the middle of the long cloth there was a round eye full of horror.

What kind of monster is this? No one had ever seen such a large green thing with one eye like a fiber cloth, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Still want to escape?"

Natsu slashed open a tentacle and jumped in a few steps in front of the green monster that began to glide and squirm on the ground, stomping on that eye!

"Smack!"

The process was not so intense, the eyes were trampled like a bubble, and the squirming body of the green monster gradually weakened and struggled.

"It's over?"

Everyone looked at each other:

Just now Xia asked Edith to put such a violent spell, and only such a thing exploded?
