Episode.61 Talk of the Night, the purpose of the effort is ......
There are many ways to make money in the game, in addition to the abnormal behavior of killing people and stealing goods, there are also monster farming and accepting quests and commissions.
The former is not mentioned first, but the latter methods can be tried.
Currently, in the wild labyrinth area of the fiftieth floor, there are two figures fighting.
Leaping to his feet, it seemed to overlap with the sun wheel hanging high in the sky, and with the dazzling sunlight as the background, Natsume slashed the head of the monster in front of him with a single sword, and successfully killed it.
Looking at the monster that had turned into a little experience point of his own, Natsume's gaze fell on the girl beside him.
Wearing red light armor equipment, holding a short sword and cooperating with his own Demon Feather Pterodactyl to attack, forcing the monster to the edge of a stone tablet.
The monster is a wolf-like creature armed with a shield and a scimitar, and when attacked by the girl, he uses the shield in his left hand to fend off.
The girl's name was Sirika, and for some reason, in Natsume's opinion, Sirika's movements seemed too stiff and anxious, and there was no pattern at all.
That said, her comprehension of combat is quite good.
Acting like a dagger, leaning forward and accelerating while holding the hilt of the sword with his backhand to cut, the blade of the dagger and the shield collide with each other and bounce off each other.
Since the wolf-like creature was fending with a left shield, its free right hand slashed at Celica as she stepped back.
Natsume didn't make a move, he knew what Celika wanted to do.
Seizing this opportunity, the moment the wolf-like creature freed its chest and lowered the shield, Morbina slammed into the wolf-creature's right arm.
The dash from the flanks stopped the wolf-like creature's attack. The cutting trajectory of the scimitar fell to the side. Swinging sideways, it saw the blade coming to it.
Sirika deliberately collided with the monster's shield. Then he deliberately let the wolf-like creature seize his own gap to attack, and finally followed by Bina's help to launch a counterattack.
As the empty door opened, Sirika's attack landed easily on the monster's chest.
Thorn, white cutting marks appeared on the wolf-like creature, in order not to give it a chance to breathe, Silika, who knew that she could not kill with one blow, cooperated with Bina to launch another attack, completely defeating it.
After fighting with Natsume a few times, Sirika also learned something. Therefore, it is also possible to fight alone.
But.
Sirika looked at her hands suspiciously, and Bina, who landed on her shoulder, gently scratched her shoulder with her paws, which brought her back to her senses.
In fact, the monster that fought with Sirika had been injured by Natsu before, and this was also an action taken to ensure Sirika's safety.
Natsume reduces the monster's HP to less than half, preventing the monster from making dangerous moves after blocking Sirika's attack with more blood.
Seemingly a little dissatisfied, no, a little anxious, Sirika put her hands on her chest, as if pondering something.
Natsume walked over, and he reached out and patted Sirika on the shoulder with his hand, having already retracted his sword from its scabbard.
"What's wrong? I think the way you fight has improved. The main thing is to be too anxious. ”
"But...... I. ”
She wanted to speak, but Sirika stopped suddenly. She shoved Natsume away and used her short sword to catch the attack of the monster that emerged from the darkness.
It was probably the monster that had slipped before, and its pupils exuded a terrifying gaze, and it let out a scream similar to a hissing and then increased its force, bouncing Sirika away.
Natsume drew her sword and prepared to fight, but Sirika rushed forward again, her caramel-colored ponytails fluttering in front of her eyes, and the petite girl showed no fear.
"Bina!"
Receiving a response from the demon, Sirika ran forward, trying to do the same thing she had done before.
The dagger collides with the shield to lure the enemy into attacking, allowing the demon to attack and intercept it.
However, just when Sirika wants to use the short sword to take out the enemy, she realizes that her combo output is completely insufficient.
Too much HP and too low attack power!
Celica's face turned a little pale, and she was already close to see the wolf-like creature slashing the scimitar in her right hand at her.
He stretched out his dagger to resist, only to be shot open, and the handle of the blade was released, causing his weapon to fall to the ground.
The attack is coming! Sirika closed her eyes, only to hear the sound of the sword clashing, the monster made an almost mournful sound, a person stood in front of him, walked forward, the side of the body, the blade directly split the monster in two.
Natsume saw a series of movements from Sirika, and although there was no problem, it was too impatient.
"Sirika, that's dangerous."
"I know."
"Don't do that in the future, it'll be life-threatening."
Seeing that Sirika was silent, Natsume was directly on the top of the slope, and after picking up Sirika, he took her there.
Ignoring Sirika's screams, Natsume put her down when she reached her destination.
This is the top of the slope, and at the same time it is a place where you can overlook this stone forest.
A refreshing wind blows from the front, and the starry sky above is within reach.
There is not much grass in this labyrinth area at his feet, and Natsume sleeps peacefully after using the enemy-seeking skill on the surroundings, looking at the night sky above his head.
"Silica, why are you a little impatient?"
Hearing Natsume's question, Sirika fell silent for a moment.
The silence didn't last long, though, and Sirika's shoulders collapsed.
"I want to be strong."
"Why?"
"Because I used to rely on others, teaming up with other male players to get experience items and stuff like that, I hate that kind of self, only one can become strong if you work hard."
"Really?"
That's why Sirika fights like this.
She doesn't want to be seen as a burden by others, and she wants to have the strength to live alone.
Sosilika fought, and a man thought of the enemy attacking, eager for victory.
The victory of one person is the proof of the strong.
However,
"What a fool, Sirika."
"Huh? But isn't that right? It is the right thing for a person to grow and become stronger. ”
"No kidding, what does it mean to be strong in a person? If you lose your life for that purpose, what happens to those who don't want you to disappear? It will make them sad and miserable. ”
"That's ......"
"So, Sirika, if you want to become stronger, try to rely on others, because there are people who can support you to become stronger."
"So."
Keep your head down
"Can I rely on you Natsume??"
Natsume thought for a moment and gave the most correct answer.
"You'll just rely on me unceremoniously." (To be continued......)
