Magica Technica ～Sword Demon Rakshasa’s VRMMO Battle Record～

Magica Technica Chapter 022

Despite unexpected encounters, the purpose of coming to this west village is to find a way to counter the boss. ..

The fairy was probably an undiscovered event in this village, but I don't think it's possible to compete with the boss.

In the first place, the difficulty level of the event is too high, such as discovering an invisible fairy. It is unlikely that this will be the condition for defeating the boss.

After concluding that, we went to the village shrine as originally planned.

"Oh ... it's really cute"

"You guys, isn't your character a little broken?"

Surprisingly, Reno was the most interested in Lumina on my head.

She has a pretty mature impression, but her expression staring at Lumina has crumbled sloppyly.

Apparently, he seems to like cute things. Well, those guys with that habit are in our dojo, and it's not that they don't understand.

By the way, Lumina, who is staring at me, sits on my head in a good mood without any intention of looking at me.

I'm playing with the hair that is tied occasionally, but I'd like you to stop it because it's out of balance.

"If you're so worried, why don't you try to get a" tame "? Well, I can't do Lumina."

>

"Yes, I'm a little worried, but ... I have to use the party slot when I'm with" Tam "."

"The distribution of experience points is the same as for ordinary players, but ... Because of that, at a stray party, the distribution of items is a mess."

"Are you talking about moving items for two people?"

"Yes, that's right. Well, in the case of Tamer, it's for Tam Monster. I know it's difficult because I have to bear the item, too. "

In the words of the mica sailor, I put my hand on my chin and look down.

That's certainly a confusing story. Neither claim is unreasonable.

If I also walk with Lumina, do I have to consider that area as well?

…… Well, I don't think I have many chances to interact with other parties, so maybe I don't have to worry too much.

I'm not so interested in collecting items. If you get as much as you need, there will be no problem.

And--

"Well, it doesn't matter if you're alone. That's not a problem."

"Ah ... I don't think there are people who can say that easily. But, there are some like Shepherd, so I think it's not unusual."

"Shepherd?"

"I'm a famous solo player who eats with one" Tame ". The party is all filled with Tame monsters. Somehow "

" Hey ... "

I'm really impressed that some people have changed.

《Tame》 is a skill with a fairly low success rate. Nevertheless, if the party is completely filled with tame monsters, it means that they have the appropriate skills.

I've become a tamer too, and I'd love to talk to that player eventually.

As for the know-how as a tamer, it is certain that the shepherd and others have it.

――While thinking about that, we arrived in front of the cathedral.

"I came once before, but I wonder if something has changed"

"I don't know ... Let's listen to it. "

With a slightly skeptical look, Mica and Reno open the door.

A set up Sect cathedral that doesn't look like a small village. When I opened the door, I saw the beautifully lined seats, the stage behind it, and the stained glass above it.

The vivid stained glass depicts a divine female figure-is it the revered Goddess or something?

And in front of the stained glass, a man with glasses was staring at me with a gentle smile on the stage.

An elderly man with slightly gray hair. Wearing black priesthood clothes, he caught us and raised his voice.

"Oh, are you a Gentile? Please come here."

"Yes, I'm in the way.

The mica sailor, who is slightly pushed by the atmosphere, steps into the cathedral while nodding.

Following that, I was looking around.

It's a building that doesn't fit the size of the village by any means. This certainly wouldn't be strange if there were any secrets.

But, despite that, nothing has been found yet. As for probability, is it around that some condition is not met?

I can't say anything at the moment ... Anyway, it's okay to listen to that priest's story.

"Welcome to Goddess's house, Gentiles. Certainly, they were the ones who visited us before."

"Did you remember? I'm sorry to bother you often."

"No, I don't mind. This is the first time for you-- "

The priest turned his gaze toward me--with his eyes wide open.

Needless to say, his line of sight is Lumina above me.

Well, you'll be surprised if someone with a fairy suddenly arrives.

"This is ... I was surprised. No way, I should have been recognized by a fairy."

"It's so rare. "Is it?"

"Of course, the fairy is very cautious and can only approach a pure human being. You seem to be a very pure person."

"Innocence is an unconventional evaluation. I'm just a swordsman." Gives up his shoulder and returns.

I'm aware that I've had an unusual career, but I'm not the kind of person to be praised.

However, the priest was against the words with a bitter smile.

"If so, you must have followed that path honestly. Because you are serious, the fairies have seen you."

"... Don't be too exaggerated"

"Receiving the blessing of a fairy is such an event. Let's keep it. "

With a gentle smile, the priest switches topics.

This skill that slips into the heart of the other person is a person who can be said to be a model of a priest.

Well, that's why I'm a cautious partner.

I don't feel any harm from him. However, being able to hold the tempo can be said to be fatal to the swordfighter.

You should be vigilant.

"Then, what kind of business do you have today?"

"Ah, yes. I want to hear about that. "

" Is it a devil ... I think I told you before? "

"Well, that's--"

"I've only heard about the devil again. I wanted to hear from an expert."

The priest agrees with the words that he put on the upset mica sailor.

Well, I'm not lying. It is an undeniable fact that I wanted to hear the story of the priest as an expert.

But well, the AI of this game doesn't give a really flexible reaction.

It's a level that makes me wonder if it's really made by a program.

My inner feelings are elsewhere, and the priest begins to talk about the devil.

"First of all, the devil is an adversary to all living things in this world, and is a living thing that lives in an unworldly territory."

" Is it different from demons? "

" Yes, demons are often hostile to humans, but they have their own ecosystems and lives. In the case of the devil, they are also hostile to these monsters. "

Is it a third force different from the monsters? From the player's point of view, both are opponents that should be defeated, but it's a setting that is a little worrisome.

The demons can be understood as living things and as an ecosystem.

But what exactly are the highly intelligent demons? What is their purpose and what are they hostile to the creatures of this world?

I can't understand at all if I just talk about the current situation.

"Well, I hear that the devils sometimes follow the undead, but ... they are not living things, and they may be exceptions among monsters. Maybe "

" Hey undead ... "

By the way, the devil blocking the road is also following the undead. Was it a story?

The pattern with subordinates is troublesome. I've heard that undead are pretty tough, and I think we need to take measures.

I listen to the story of the priest while simulating how to cut the opponent inwardly.

"These devils ... they have several ranks"

"rank? Strength index Or something? "

" Yes, it's not a mistake to recognize that. A devil with a certain level of power has a title.

"... Is a strong devil a nobleman?"

It's unclear if there is a system, but it seems true that higher-ranking demons follow lower-ranking demons. "

The dislike of demons is hidden. Instead, the priest says so.

Speaking of course, it's natural, but the priest seems to hate the devil a lot.

Well, as far as I can tell, there is nothing I like.

"Also, there seems to be a ranking in each title, and the smaller the number, the stronger the devil."

" Is there so many? "

" Yes, there are 128 in the Baron class. There are 64 in the Baron class, 32 in the count class ... … It seems that the number of Marquis, Duke, and Grand Duke will decrease as it is. ”

" …… I think There are more than that. "

No way, there are more than 250 bodies with the title alone.

Well, since this is a game played by a large number of people, it may not be a problem even if the number is large.

By this standard, what level is the devil blocking the road?

Well, it's the first time, and I don't think it's such a strong demon.

However, it is said that the knights were defeated by the devil. You shouldn't underestimate it too much.

Speaking of which--

"Can I ask you one?"

"Yes, what?"

"I heard in Librum, did the knights visit this village before?"

" Yes, you're here. They were also asked about the devil. "

Apparently, the story the soldier was telling was true.

I keep talking while the four people with slightly surprised expressions stare at me.

"Did they intend to challenge the devil?"

"Yes, that's right ... but the devil is still defeated. That's probably what it means that it hasn't been done ... "

With a sad expression, the priest looks down.

After all, were the knights defeated by the devil? When it comes to

, the undead in the example cannot deny the probability of their knights.

Meditate for a while-I raise my voice again.

"... As humans on the battlefield, I want to relieve their remorse, but the devil uses a powerful curse. There is no way to prevent it.

"Kuon-san ... isn't it too straight?"

Isn't it? "

In my words, the priest is silent for a while.

His gaze stared straight into my eyes-and then moved over my head.

Lumina is still on my head. From the sensation in my head, I can see that it is reacting to the line of sight it is directed at.

The priest continued to meditate, turning his gaze back and forth for a while-small and affirmed.

"Okay, it's usually not something you can easily distribute."

With that said, the priest is a desk. Take something out of it and bring it to my front.

In his hand was a pendant with a medal with a mysterious pattern on it.

A line running vertically, a crossing spiral around it, and a pair of wing-like patterns.

It's not an elaborate engraving, but it's a Grade 1 that took a lot of time to think of as handmade.

"What is this?"

"This is a talisman, a talisman that dispels evil powers. It's not, but it will surely protect you. "

" ... is it okay? "

" Yes. If you are an innocent person who is recognized as a fairy and you want to relieve the knights' remorse, you can trust it. It is not a shame to give this amulet. It is not a rare item.

Laughing a little ridiculously, the priest hands this a talisman.

If that's the case, you should take it as a chitin.

Convinced, I was nodding and receiving the Holy Seal.

"Kudou Jintsuu-style Kuon, I promise to defeat the devil"

"... Thank you, Kuon. San "

A word of oath with determination.

On the other hand, the priest bowed deeply.
