In the labyrinth area of this twentieth layer, inside the woods of a passage, the head of a [Rock Mantis] was cut off with a single sword.

The spearman, who was holding the handle of the gun with both hands, looked at the corpse of the monster that had turned into data fragments in front of him.

He was awakened by the shouting, and took a step back to rest his back against the back of the shield-wielding stormtroopers.

Breathing heavily, he was startled by the flash of sword light and sharp slash just now.

"It's all right! Selit! ”

"It's okay, just now, thanks to Natsume."

Looking at the gamer standing in front of the two of them with the back of the player, the slight golden light on the weapon held in his right hand made it impossible to take his eyes off it.

It was like the sun in the sky, and the man who held it gave instructions to the two of them.

"Celit, follow me! In charge of driving back the monsters that want to get close to my back, and Fox goes to help the other two! ”

"Got it!"

"Okay!"

After saying that, Natsume, who didn't care about the sight of the two, ran forward.

There are two [Rock Mantis] hidden in the woods, and he killed one of the three that jumped out, so what he has to deal with at this moment is the enemy hiding in the dark.

The other party was not timid, and the two [Rock Mantis] in the shadows launched a counterattack.

They split to the left and right sides of Natsume.

This is a common tactic, that is, a multi-faceted way of fighting, which is simple but very practical.

Looking at the two monsters that were moving, Natsume attacked directly at the [Rock Mantis] on the left.

Stepping on the bushes, slowing down his speed while giving Natsume time to react.

The movement track of the Rock Mantis is S-shaped. Then the trunk is buffered and jumped to achieve this movement pattern.

It's fast. Difficult to catch.

But it's not about moving faster than the others. It's just a simple prediction.

Probably due to the setting of the system, the trajectory of [Rock Mantis] is actually fixed, and there is an absolute flaw, that is, while they move in an S-shape, they will bias one compound eye with many monocular eyes to the next landing point, and finally continue to act.

It was a flaw that Natsume had noticed from the very beginning.

In the battle of confrontations, as long as the battle is not over. It is necessary to be vigilant, and every movement and posture of the enemy will become something that brings benefits to oneself.

Natsume, who rushed forward, did not relax his control of the whole field.

The two girls who came into contact with the two [Rock Mantis] in the rear were not fatally injured, but Sakura Mei was knocked into the air, and Fox arrived in time before being attacked, resolving her crisis.

You can hold on for a while.

So Natsume knew he had about ten seconds left.

"Selit! Help me! ”

The advantage of the spear is that it can be used to expand the combat range under certain circumstances.

After all, the swing trajectory of a medium weapon can force back enemies who want to get closer.

As soon as he stepped on the ground, Natsume felt a little numb in his left foot, and these subtle system judgments were enough to make people feel that this was the real world.

Then, it's the same as the Rock Mantis. Natsume set his sights on its next destination.

After the Buddha was settled, [Rock Mantis] and Natsume ran there together.

It was at this time. The two began to clash with each other.

In mid-air, he swings the Sword of Victory of the Oath in his right hand, and the blade makes a semi-circular trajectory before slashing at the chest of the [Rock Mantis].

Without dodging, it spread out its forelimbs on the way, intending to attack Natsume.

Click!

The sensation of the hit was transmitted through his fingers, but Natsume, who immediately confirmed the current situation, immediately stepped back.

Sure enough, his own strength was not enough, and the blade only sank into the [Rock Mantis] chest to a depth of one centimeter, and it had not completely broken its defenses.

The Sword of Oath Victory requires a certain STR value to provide a good output environment, and Natsume, whose STR value is only at level 30, cannot play it perfectly.

The blade is sharp, but if the power is not enough, everything is empty talk.

Natsume, who quickly retreated, dodged the [Rock Mantis] forelimb attack, and he ran forward again with the brake of his right foot.

The moving enemy was falling to the next location, so Natsume didn't give it a chance to buffer.

He had tried it before, and while the two of them attracted the attention of the first [Rock Mantis], he cut off each other's heads with a single sword.

It was an easy feeling, so it was possible to estimate that the neck part of the [Rock Mantis] did not have rock armor.

Seeing the [Rock Mantis] fall to the ground, there was also a sound of hard objects colliding from behind, and it was Selite who assisted Natsume who was holding back another monster.

Hurry!

Natsume's second assault changed the way of attack, from holding a knife in one hand to holding a blade in two hands.

I used to use my left hand to adjust the balance of this body, but now I don't need to.

Start the rush! On the side of the body, a horizontal slash from left to right slashed through with the sound of violent wind.

Stretching out his forelimbs to resist, Natsume ignored its movements, and his two feet drove his body to spin, and the wind attached to the blade began to flow, and the whirlwind blade formed appeared under the blade that was moving at high speed.

The second time you use the Storm Blade, but not as an output, but as a cut!

Countless blades struck the surface of the rock armor like a drilling machine, scattering stones in all directions, and the hard skin was completely shattered by Natsume's slash, and the exposed flesh was slashed open in an instant.

Without stopping, Natsume turned his body and threw the blade in his hand as he flew out, and the golden blade pierced the [Rock Mantis] attacking Celit with the enchantment of the wind, directly penetrating its abdomen.

Then, Natsume ran back, snatching the spear in Celit's hand on the way, aiming and confirming, the skill triggered by the player, [Storm Blade] was added to the spear.

"Get down!"

Giving a command to the three people in front of him, Natsume projected the weapon in his hand almost at the same time.

The spear protected by the Wind Enchantment ignored the resistance, and in its high-speed movement, it directly pierced the two [Rock Mantis] together, and finally pierced the trunk of the tree, and the [Rock Mantis] that emerged from its chest immediately shattered, turning into data fragments and experience.

Unlike praying mantises, which can survive without a head, once its HP reaches zero in this world, it is equivalent to declaring death.

"That's amazing! Natsume! Unbelievable! See what props we got?? Although it may not be needed, the dropped essence potion instantly restores all the status and HP of players below level 50 [Celestial Insect Essence]. ”

"That's good."

Natsume picked up her weapon and sat down on the ground to rest.

The battle and the use of skills just now consumed a lot of physical strength, and now he just wanted to take a good rest.

But.

"Can you give us that [Heavenly Worm Essence]?"

From the woods, more than a dozen players emerged and surrounded the six. (To be continued......)
