Episode.54 This is, the night of their escape?
It's true that one person fights at will, after all, you don't need to worry about the safety of others, you just need to protect yourself.
However, now this situation has forced Natsume to restrain a little, move and flee step by step, and think about ways to let the people behind him leave safely.
At present, there is only one thing to do, and that is to find a better escape path and use the terrain to block the enemy's pursuit.
She took the lead in reaching out her left hand to Celica who was standing aside, grabbed her right wrist and began to move.
There are already five confirmed enemies, three on the left and two on the right.
They didn't attack when the two of them moved, they just ran as Natsume ran and followed closely.
Are you waiting for other reinforcements?
Once the number of people increases, as long as the level is high enough, Natsume only has the power to protect himself, and there is no time to protect Sirika.
As long as the level is around sixty-five, you can escape, and above seventy is very tricky.
Directly ahead is a fork in the road, and both passages can lead to the exit of this labyrinth, only at a slightly different distance.
Stopping, Natsume didn't look at Sirika, but said to her behind her in the face of the darkness
"Sure enough, you'd better use the transfer crystal to get out of here."
"But, is that okay? What about you? Don't go along? ”
"There's something to do."
In fact, what Natsume wants to do is not to escape, but to attack.
The reason why the five people who defended themselves did not attack is probably because they already know their identities. Therefore, in the absence of reinforcements, they did not dare to act rashly.
Therefore, as soon as Sirika leaves, Natsume can take advantage of the situation and rush towards the enemy's possible base.
He has the strength not to be killed, and even if he deals with a disadvantage, he can use the transfer crystal to escape.
Although it is very expensive to transfer crystals, it is best to use them in a pinch.
Hearing Natsume's proposal, Sirika behind her seemed to be thinking about whether she should act like that.
She finally came here alone, in order to improve her level and no longer be ridiculed, she worked hard until now, and went back directly. The money and potions that were paid before will be wasted.
In the past, it was always seen as a vase. A player who relies on others to grow, but now Sirika has the heart to become stronger.
Don't rely on others to move forward; Don't grow with the player.
I want to be like a solo player and have great strength.
From the past to the present. Celica is actually trying. However, the results are mostly taunts from other players.
I don't understand anything. It's very annoying to pretend to know everything.
Therefore, Sirika decided to get the recognition of that group of people through her own efforts and let them know how good they are.
For this. Sirika didn't want to waste her hunting time tonight, and if she left here, she would have to prepare a lot of things to get to this undocumented place.
"What do you stop for? Don't use Transfer Crystals yet? ”
"The ......"
Natsume saw Sirika raise her originally bowed head, her eyes mixed with fear, but also a determined look.
"I want to stay here and fight alongside you."
"No kidding."
“……”
Natsume said, causing Sirika to sink her head helplessly and hurtfully.
The winged dragon on her shoulder was angry at Natsume's words, and flapped its wings in disapproval.
Without stopping, Natsume's left hand tightly grasped Sirika's right hand.
"Then there's no way, your name is Celica, right, you can fight behind me, together, get out of here."
"Yes, yes!"
The answer was very powerful, and Natsume pulled her to speed up.
Whoa, whoa, whoaa!!aaa
Sirika expressed surprise at Natsume's sudden acceleration, and in order to keep up with Natsume's movement speed, she specially took a step-by-step jump, which was actually being pulled by Natsume.
Seeing the two speeding up, the figures in the darkness seemed to be worried about their escape, so they all poured out.
Natsume has given up on patrolling the base, and plans to escape with Sirika by force.
From the left, a man rushed out, a spearman armed with a spear.
He slammed his kick to the ground and delivered a blow to Natsume's chest, the tip of the spear stabbing directly at Natsume without any deflection.
But.
In the middle of this attack, Natsume's sword of the lake that he swung out had already intervened in his attack track, and with a flash of light, the blade directly cut off the handle of the spear.
Due to his lack of tenacity, the spear pounced on Natsume by inertia after losing his weapon that had been reduced to shards, and just as Natsume was about to kick it, blue wings slid in front of him.
"Attack!"
The girl's voice rang out.
A blue-white glow appeared on the protected winged dragon Bina, and the impact directly knocked the sneak attacker into the air.
The cooperation between the two is good.
Natsume and Sirika glanced at each other and tugged at their left hand.
A long knife slashed at the place where Celica had just been, making her face pale.
"It's fine."
Just took a step forward, Natsume, who held the hilt of the sword with his backhand, slashed, and the massive attack in the form of a semicircle directly knocked the two of them with their swords together.
Then, his body immediately spun around Sirika, and the sword he had just swung immediately retracted, blocking the slash from behind horizontally.
Then the blade twisted, one side, and after removing the force, Sirika manipulated the winged dragon to use the energy impact again.
Running to the exit while cooperating, Natsume and Sirika came to safety after blocking the last attack, and all the figures hidden in the darkness retreated.
Sirika's breathing was a little rapid, and Natsume began to relax as she observed the environment in front of her.
There was still some distance from the central town, and Natsume crouched down and looked at Sirika, who was very tired from the battle
"Do you want to come up?"
"Huh?!"
A look of surprise.
However, the girl did not seem to resist, and she did not want to walk back by herself because she was tired.
Carrying Sirika on his back, he couldn't feel the weight at all due to the high STR, and Natsume walked easily towards the portal.
"By the way, Sirika, what the hell are you here for?"
"How to say it, actually ......"
"Is there a reason? Or is there some purpose? ”
"That's for ...... Ah~ for ......"
The voice decreased, and Natsume called out her name again, but there was no response.
Asleep?
Sighing helplessly, Natsume smiled, and continued to rush to the central city with her on his back, the distance should not be far. (To be continued......)
