Tired of consuming most of her supplies, Sirika was once again attacked by the monsters without mercy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And this time, it's several monsters named "Drunken Ape Man", the strongest level ape-man among the monsters that appear in the Lost Forest.

Looking at the appearance of these monsters, Celica couldn't help but bite her lip.

Having said that, if this is a daily team state, Sirika doesn't care about these monsters at all, after all, in terms of level, this kind of monster is not that dangerous. Coupled with the reasonable cooperation of the squad, these monsters are usually killed with sufficient security measures. At the very least, it will be to the point where you can win by being surrounded by five monsters alone even if there is no way to recover.

Even if they were prepared on weekdays, the three drunken apemen of the strongest rank of the thirty-fifth layer were no match for the dragon envoy Sirika.

However, the current Celica is not only mentally exhausted and unable to fully concentrate, she is not in a state, and even the supplies are almost consumed, and it is really too reluctant to deal with these "drunken apes" in this state.

However, even if it's too reluctant, there is no way, this monster will not let you go this time because you are not in a state, and let you go back to repair.

So spurring the tired spirit, Sirika clenched her dagger tightly. Looking at the one emerging from behind the woods, there was a huge ape-man covered in dark red fur. In his right hand, he holds a rough club, and in his left hand he carries a pot that looks like a string tied to a gourd. And Bina also flew off her shoulders lightly and entered a state of preparation.

The pace of the battle was fast, very fast, so fast that Sirika felt palpitations. That powerful and terrifying sense of oppression taught Celica what despair was.

In fact, the apes who bared their canines and roared loudly raised their clubs to attack was not fast, not at all.

The Drunken Ape Man uses a low-level hammer spear skill, and although it is quite powerful to click, its attack speed is not as good as the number of stages of the combo.

On the contrary, the dexterous Sirika took the action repeatedly, and after the continuous attack did hit, she quickly retreated to avoid the enemy's counterattack, and the movement speed was particularly fast.

However, in the face of life and death, the tense and excessive moments, the not so fast pace of battle, it seems so long, so fast, and so hard.

Especially in the moment before the fourth attack unleashes the combo "Short Blade" in an attempt to deal a fatal blow to the ape-man at the front. When I found out that the ape-man was actually drinking a lot of alcohol to replenish HP at a considerable rate, he was even more desperate.

Originally, it was already very difficult to deal with the five drunken apemen, but now the other party's wine jug seemed to have something like a recovery agent in it. This made Sirika's already desperate heart sink into the darkness again. Even if Bina uses the healing technique from time to time, this is the case.

I can't beat it, I can't beat it like this, and it will be endless. Witnessing the drunken ape-man replenish his HP in a short period of time, the anxious taste gradually spreads in Sirika's mouth.

Seriously, Sirika, who has made Mobina, has no experience fighting monsters alone. This unexpected situation has made Sirika's inner anxiety gradually become colored by panic. She made more and more mistakes in her attacks, while also giving her enemies a chance to fight back.

The inappropriate release of the continuous skill allowed the drunken ape-man to seize the stiff time generated by Sirika's sword technique, and sent a direct hit with a knowing blow.

The thick stick, corrected by the drunken ape-man's tendon strength, exploded with astonishing lethality, and a single critical hit reduced Sirika's health by about 30%.

Celica, who had fallen out heavily, looked at the approaching ape-man and felt a chill running through her back.

The fact that there was no reply potion at hand also made Sirika shake greatly. Bina's healing breath can only restore about 10% of her HP, and it cannot be used frequently. In this way, if you take the same damage three more times, you will die.

Death. When this possibility came into her mind, Sirika couldn't help but stiffen all over. Not only could he not lift his arms, but he could also move his feet.

So far, the battle has been tense for her, but far from the danger of reality. She never thought that the real "death" would await at the front of the battle-

With her eyes wide open and her whole body stiffening in front of the drunken ape-man who roared and raised his club again, Sirika understood what the battle against monsters was all about in SAO. Understand that this is a game, but it is not a joke. This is full of contradictory facts.

The sticks that fell with a low roar struck Celica as she stood still. She fell to the ground because she couldn't withstand the strong impact, and her HP bar was suddenly reduced, and she entered the yellow alert zone.

In the face of the fear of death, Sirika was completely unable to think. I could only stare at the stick that was raised for the third time.

The rough weapon glowed red, just before Sirika reflexively wanted to close her eyes.

A small figure flew from the air in front of the club. It was Sirika's pet, an enchanter named Bina, followed by a heavy pounding sound. The aqua blue feathers spread out along with the effect light, and the short HP bar was reduced to the left end at the same time.

Knocked to the ground, Bina looked up and looked at Celica with her round blue eyes. After a slight chirp of "...... chirp", it dissolves into shiny polygonal fragments and scatters. Only a long tail feather flutters lightly from the air and finally lands on the ground.

"Hmm, Fei, have you traced the trail of the girl named Sirika?" Looking at the drowsy night, Zheng Shuanglong asked Fei Fei, who had the highest tracking skills among the three.

"Well, I found it, but, because of the nature of the Lost Forest, she is constantly moving through hundreds of areas, and it is difficult to really catch her, at least, it still takes ten minutes to catch her traces, and if she moves again, it may take more time." Dancing lightly with the short sword in his hand, Fei Fei, who tracked Sirika's trail with his skills, said coldly.

"It's so troublesome, when I originally attacked the thirty-fifth layer, I didn't think this forest was such a troublesome place at all, and it was more troublesome than the misty forest on the third layer." Theo, who also had trouble tracking down Sirika, complained as he slashed the three drunken apes with a single sword.

"Well, don't talk about it, we're lucky, she moved to a place not far from us, hurry up and rush over, it's so troublesome!" Watching the target of the tracking shift again, Fei said quickly.

"So, it's on." Zheng Shuanglong, who was talking with a smile, moved quickly in this forest.

In less than a minute, he broke through three zones and reached the area where Sirika was.

At this time, Zheng Shuanglong, who was moving quickly, stopped suddenly, and said to Theo and Fei behind him: "Well, the other party is a little girl, you go and get in touch, I will hide in the shadows, waiting for the action of the Titan's hand." After all, my reputation is really, really too loud, and if I do, the Titan Hand will immediately recognize me and hide immediately. ”

"Understood." Fei nodded and said.

"That's why you brought us to this mission, after the game is over, remember to cook to compensate us." With a small face, Tio said to Zheng Shuanglong seriously.

"Hey, hey, no problem, hmm, let's hurry up now, she seems to be dying." Looking at the battle between Sirika and the drunken ape-man in the distance, Zheng Shuanglong smiled and touched the heads of Theo and Fei and said.

"Understood." Fei nodded, her figure flashed, and she quickly moved towards the distant battle.

"Leave it to us." Theo nodded as well, lightly touching the ground and moving over like lightning.

…………

As Sirika was holding the drop of Bina's death, and at the moment when Sirika was about to be killed by the drunken apemen who surrounded her, a silver light flashed from behind the apes.

In an instant, the apes' bodies broke in half, and they let out screams and destructive sounds one after another, shattering and scattering.

Celica was stunned on the spot until the fragments of the object had evaporated, and she saw a silver-haired girl who seemed to be younger than herself standing there. With short silver hair, a petite body, a lazy look, and a cute look like a kitten, Sirika felt a fierce and powerful temperament from her petite body, and the young girl in front of her was a strong man. Instinctively, Sirika took a step back slightly.

At the moment when Celica retreated, another aqua blue petite figure moved quickly.

"Too slow, Theo." The silver-haired girl who put the short sword in her right hand into the scabbard with a "bang" said lazily.

"It's not that I'm too slow, it's that you're too fast. Phenanthrene! In the face of Fei's accusations, Tio explained calmly.

"If you use Theo's speed, you won't be able to save people at all." Glancing at Theo dissatisfied, Faye turned to Celica and said regretfully, "I'm sorry." Didn't save your friend......"

The moment she heard this, Celica, who finally reacted, was weak, and the tears that she couldn't hold back anymore kept flowing. Celica's gaze shifted to the aqua blue feather on the ground and knelt down in front of it. Carefully holding the shining feather in his arms, a bottomless sense of sadness and loss came up from his heart. The emotion turned into tears, which kept sliding down his cheeks.

In the demonic AI, there is no active attack on monsters. So in that moment, Bina chose to rush in front of the swinging stick of her own will. That can be said to be a proof of the friendship of Sirika who has been with each other day and night for the past year.

With her hands on the ground, Sirika, who was constantly whimpering, finally managed to squeeze out words. "Please...... Bina ...... Don't leave me alone......"

However, the aqua blue feathers did not respond.

Seeing Sirika crying, Tio learned from Zheng Shuanglong's usual way of comforting herself, clumsily stretched out her little hand, gently touched Sirika's head, and comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, touch obediently~"

Feeling Theo's concern, feeling the warmth of Theo's little hand, the heart-warming real emotion, Sirika struggled to hold back her tears and shook her head.

"Thank you...... Save me......" Holding back a whimper, Sirika finally spoke.

Looking at the crying Sirika, Fei slowly approached, knelt down in front of Sirika first, and then asked cautiously, "Feather, is there a name for the prop?"

Fei's words made Sirika pick up her head in confusion. She wiped away her tears and stared back at the aqua blue feather. Tremblingly, he reached out and tapped the feather with the index finger of his right hand. On the translucent window that appears, the weight and the name of the item are quietly displayed.

"Bi's heart."

Just when Celica was about to cry again after seeing it, Fei said calmly: "I remember that there is a 'heart' prop left behind, and there is a possibility of resurrection." ”

"Huh?" Celica hurriedly raised her head. His mouth was ajar and he stared at Fei's calm and delicate little face.

"Wait a minute." Noticing Sirika's doubts, Fei said softly.

As he spoke, he quickly started working on the window. A message was sent to Argo, the ace merchant of the Void Brigade.

After the three cute little loli stayed for a while, Argo's information was passed on.

Looking at the information transmitted by Argo, Fei said calmly: "To the south of the forty-seventh floor, there is an outside labyrinth called 'Hill of Memories'. The flowers that bloom on the top of the mound are resurrection items for demons. The premise is that the tamer who has lost the demon goes to the go. ”

"Really, really?" Looking at Fi's delicate and lovely cold little face, a light of hope bloomed in Celica's eyes full of sadness. But—

"Forty-seventh floor......" Celica muttered, her shoulders hanging down again.

Even the labyrinth of the thirty-fifth floor can bury itself, let alone the floor that is far higher than the thirty-fifth floor, which is far higher than the thirty-fifth floor, which is too dangerous for Sirika.

But in an instant, Sirika cheered up and cheered herself up: "Forty-seven floors...... Forty-seven floors, work hard to improve the level, one day ......"

Looking at Cilica who was so self-energizing, Fei tilted her head slightly and poured a basin of cold water down, "Time limit, so that the demon can only be resurrected within three days after death." As soon as the expiration date expires, the [Heart] of the item name will become the [Relic] ......"

"Why ...... like that!" Celica couldn't help but scream.

In a normal role-playing game, it is an easy-to-understand setting that is suitable for the level of activity on that level, and the number of the level is the same. But now it's an abnormal death game, and it has to be about ten levels higher considering the safety guarantee.

In other words, if Sirika wanted to go to the forty-seventh floor, she would need to be at least fifty-five. However, now that Sirika is only level forty-four, in three days, no, considering the time required for the actual strategy, it is impossible to improve to level 10 or more in two days. In a year, Sirika has only been promoted to the current level of forty-four, and in two days to increase to level 10, it is a completely desperate thing for Sirika. (To be continued.) )
