The Latest Game Is Too Amazing

Episode 41 So He Stands Up

Rapier's cutting-edge pierces Havok's body.

But as soon as the tip pierced Havok's body, Rapier stopped moving perfectly. Unnatural stop, but Rapier doesn't go any further.

Even Havok, who almost got pierced with Irene, has his eyes open. Liam and the others stared at each other without understanding what had happened.

Having read with his expression that it was not what Liam and the others had done, Irene turned her gaze around.

"Kaios!... you!

At the end of Irene's gaze stood a brunette boy.

It was surrounded by a herd of human-shaped monsters, goblins. A lot of people are passive.

Defeat the Goblin with magic, as usual. Still, there are more goblins to attack than there are to defeat.

There was no rush on me even though I was numerically disadvantaged.

"'Chain Bind'"

"Leave the rest to me!

Master Alexia binds the goblin movement with a magic chain. This skill looks chained, but on the system, it's magic that "paralyzes" the opponent and prevents him from moving one. Mr. Irene sees it and stabs it in a goblin sealed with a chain of motion.

I have a reliable companion. You can never lose.

All the goblins that were there are also defeated by the activity of both of them.

"Doctor! Have you been watching! Thanks to the magic the teacher taught me, I could defeat it!

Master Alexia said happily. You're exaggerating. I did teach her a lot, but most of them are just takers and sellers of offensive sites and stuff, and I don't remember doing anything that respectful.

Still, I feel happy without denying it, because I realize it's helping her.

"Doctor, do you have time after this? Today I want you to tell me about the magic that wise men can use."

Master Alexia looks like she's having fun. I get excited about talking about my skills and about setting up 'Anarcherworld'. You really like this game, don't you? But Mr. Irene doesn't really react to these stories because he's not interested, so I guess I'll do something else once in a while.

In such a mood, the area suddenly darkens. I looked around anxiously.

The falling goblin's body has transformed into something at some point.

People. Bodies of people. It has turned into a frightening corpse of people. Some of them appeared to be Roslyne.

"Roslene!?

The bloody Roseline reaches out to me for help. Mr. Irene approaches Rosline. Seeing her approaching with no expression, I had a disturbing feeling.

"Stop it! Mr. Irene! Don't!

I can't stop. A thin Rapier's cut pierces Roslene's back. As Roslene's torso bounced wide, her stretched hand fell to the ground.

"Roslene! Stay with me!

I rush up to hold Roslyne, but she's not responding. It's already broken.

"Doctor."

Master Alexia calls me. Even though there's been a murder in front of me, I run scared of her with an innocent smile.

"Doesn't the teacher praise you? My teacher taught me how to kill, so I could kill a lot of people."

"No. I didn't tell you that. I didn't teach you to do that!

"Aren't you the one who taught you how to fight your enemies efficiently? I just put it into practice. I'm on the battlefield because my teacher taught me how to kill. Isn't it all your fault"

"If you stick with me and Alexia and the woman there is falling, you'll be the cause."

"I didn't know it was a different world. I thought it was a game. That's why I never thought this would happen."

"What can I do if I don't know? Can you say that there is no sin?"

I have no words to give back. I didn't know it was for no reason. Not to mention that I was about to notice, but I was trying not to notice. Had I noticed earlier, I wonder if they would have avoided getting their hands dirty.

"It's your fault, Doctor."

"Get that reward."

Mr. Irene's Rapier pierced me. You shouldn't have any pain, but you have severe pain running on your chest. HP shredded and showed zero. When the rapier is pulled out, the robe becomes twitchy and red.

I don't want to die. Desperately explored the inventory. Take out the potion and use it but it doesn't work. I'm already systematically dead. There was no way I could recover.

I'm not even scared to twist the doll to break the replacement doll I took out of the inventory. Instead a message window was displayed.

"Subject in death state does not exist. If the object does not exist, the effect will not be activated"

Stupid. You have me in a state of death. You can't possibly not have a subject. Isn't this the same as it was then? So am I really going to die?

... I need your help. I don't want to die!

Ruthlessly, Master Alexia and Mr. Irene are just watching me suffer. Slow heartbeat and dull sensation. Gradually, the consciousness becomes distant.

Yeah, I've given up on this.

- Moment, I woke up.

Tears are spilling out of my eyes. The sweat is terrible. I felt sick with my sweat snug on my t-shirt. My throat is teasing me, as if I had sweated the moisture out of my body. I checked my surroundings with a blurred consciousness as I wiped my sweat, and when I made sure I was in my room, I realized that I was still alive and tears spilled again.

When he regained his composure, he disgusted that, above all, he had given priority to his being alive.

Ever since I logged out, I've wrapped it around a futon on my bed and pulled it into my room. He never showed up, so his mother seemed worried and came to see how he was doing a few times, but he had very little energy to answer.

It's slightly dim in the room with the curtains closed and the lights not on, but still bright enough to see what's in the room because it's noon.

Valghia glows dull in a dim room. I can't take my eyes off the device of all the culprits.

I haven't touched Valguia since. Because I felt like I would be taken to that world again even if I just touched it. Of course that can't be true. But maybe you can't count on common sense at a time when you're being flown from the game world to another.

This device will not work now that it is not powered on. You don't have to play games with this device to get involved with that world.

When I do this, the world feels like a dream or an illusion of the days I spent in that world.

I wonder what that world will be like now.

Invasion of the Weixel Empire. They've invaded to retrieve the land of the Commune Union from the vampires. The vampires who were already in Clermont are getting rid of them. So there is no reason for the Weixel Empire to attack Clermont. We should be able to settle this in a discussion.

But if you're just here to defeat a vampire, is it something that attacks Clermont without a single report? Perhaps the Weixel Empire is unwilling to engage in dialogue with the Union of Communes. I wonder if you think that vampires already control the whole of the Union of the Communes.

What happens if the war between the two countries continues?

As the invasion of Clermont, the capital of the Commune, progresses, the Commune is probably at a disadvantage. Until the other day, Clermont was ruled by vampires. He's exhausted in the battle ahead, and he's not ready for war.

With the addition of Alexia, who is changing careers, the Commune has no chance of winning. If you fight, the Commune loses. I don't know exactly what kind of end a country invaded by another country will end up in, living in Japan singing peace. There are numerous countries that have also been invaded by the history of the real world. But if you look at it in a history textbook, it would be just a few lines, or some end of story that doesn't even describe it.

But right now, that could happen in different worlds via the Internet.

Roslyne is a princess. In her position, you can't retreat from war with another country. Now that Mr. Raul is not here, she has to be the center of the fight to protect the land.

Then the end of Roslyne's path...

No, maybe the Commune will miraculously repel it. But then there will be danger to Alexia and Irene. They are fighting on the front lines. The fact that the Commune repels is tantamount to repelling them.

... barren. Let's not. I'm not going to go to that world again. It's ridiculous to go to a world where you could possibly die.

If I close my eyes and block my ears, I can stay irrelevant. If you forget about it without thinking about it, you can already enjoy a peaceful routine.

- But. Still. What is this dull thought? I keep complaining that it's wrong. What's with the chest stiffness?

How can I forget? The days I spent in that world. Less than six months. Just a few months, but I remember clearly.

It is true that I did not know the truth. But I enjoyed spending time with everyone. That is neither a dream nor an illusion. It was definitely something I went through.

So I can't abandon that world by deciding not to see the people involved in that world.

But what can I do? If there was a war going on, would you stop it by yourself? I have a lot of thoughts. It is possible if the protagonist shows his or her role as a hero in a movie or story. But my real image is nothing but a very different, tenacious hero.

That's what's happening in the other world, too. Maybe it's none of my business being a real world resident. Perhaps it is unacceptable to be involved.

There is also fear. Like that dream, it could kill you, like Mr. Raul, or it could kill you. I feel like I'm going to butt in when I think about it.

Still, I want to help Roslyne, and I want to stop Master Alexia and Mr. Irene.

I don't know if I have a sense of blue justice or heroic aspirations. But I didn't want to twist that thought.

Maybe he's just tied to Mr. Raul's words. Perhaps that's what self-blame for the aftermath of actions you've caused in different worlds makes you do that.

Still, I want to know what happens to my people in that world at my will. And if it leads in a bad direction, I want to avoid it.

If there was a war, I would have to fight too if I did it badly. Now that your game skills can be used as they are, you must have the power to fight. But can I wield that power without hesitation?

I can't do that. With my skills, attacking an opponent can result in injury and death. I wouldn't be able to afford to think of anything less than the possibility of getting killed.

Do I have to hurt someone even though I just want to help them? I wonder why he took all his offensive skills. You don't have to let him sleep, paralyze him, or hurt him if he's like Alexia-like.

......... like Master Alexia......? There's a way! Right, if that's it!

I'm ready to do whatever I can think of. I can turn back now. Warnings in conflict with the will come to mind. I'm not ready to be firm enough to show a little hesitation just because of that warning.

The protagonists in the movies and stories would have acted with unwavering conviction. I'm afraid I don't share that belief. I'm afraid to go to another world, and I don't like dying any more. I can't shake off that fear.

But if I close my eyes, block my ears, and decide I never had a day before, I'm sure I'll just keep running away with regret. I may not be released from that dreamy curse for the rest of my life.

Hold on to your frightening heart and take Valguia in your hands with your trembling hands.

Let's go. Again, to that world!

The last place I logged out was deserted. I can hear you meeting something like metal from the outside. Similar to the sound I heard when I attacked Clermont before.

Isn't this the sound of battle? Has it really become war between the Commune and Vixel?

Then Roslyne is in danger. Is she safe?

If you look at the map, there are green markers everywhere, and you can't tell where the Roslines are. It's not as convenient as finding someone specific. There is another place where people are concentrated near the entrance hall of the Royal Palace.

The important person, Roslene, should have many escorts. It's hard to think of having a princess in an entrance hall where enemies break in. If we go with the erasure method, there's a good chance Roslyne is there.

Let's move as far as possible not to encounter green markers. It's hard not to even know the enemy's side. If you encounter it, it is possible to fight instantly. But I can't get past a room like Roslyne's near an entrance hall where people are dense.

I ran out of momentum so that I wouldn't get caught up in the feeling that I was about to screw up.

Luckily, I didn't run into anyone. I don't see it on the map at the corner, but I was wondering if anyone was actually lurking. It would have looked like a dumb move.

I'm leaving for the entrance hall. Obviously, the sound of the battle is reaching my ear as well. Ringing my throat with nervousness. All right, let's go.

When I intentionally left for the entrance hall, a group of familiars were fighting.

The Havoks. The opponent you are fighting...... Mr. Irene!?

I'm fighting multiple opponents equally. In this case, you may want to praise the high level Irene who transferred her job for holding up well with her counterpart.

The level of the Havoks was about 13, the highest Emilia as far as I can remember. I haven't looked into all of them, but some knights I've worked with in the Commune are around 10-20. Thinking of it that way, the Emilias will be as strong as the knights.

I don't know what level Havok seems to be the oldest of their parties, but it won't be much different from the Emilias. But when I did, I wondered.

If you're an adventurer about thirty or forty years old as Havok, you'd be fighting and knocking down more monsters than I am. Of course it may very recently be possible that Havok has become an adventurer, but to do so, he just looks like a veteran used to using used equipment and atmosphere.

And yet it's unnatural that if I level up there for a few days, I'll only have enough levels to outrun them.

I mean, isn't it hard to get up to a level in this world?

If you do defeat a monster, you just defeat it, it can't be realistic to be strong or anything. In the first place, strength doesn't have a clear distinction between levels.

But sometimes that doesn't explain it. Mr. Irene and Master Alexia were at the same pace as me. And the higher the level, the stronger they became, so we know that the difference in intensity by level affects them even in real life.

I'm curious, but we'll discuss it later. It seems to hold up somehow, but if it's probably hard to get a level up, even if the Havoks were getting a level up, it shouldn't be below level 20.

In contrast, Mr. Irene's level is more than fifty. Clearly, it won't be a battle. You can say it's a miracle that's holding up right now.

"Stop it!"

I raised my voice. Still doesn't reach her. The battle will not stop.

But if I give up here, I don't know what I'm here for.

We have to stop it! Pack the distance from Mr. Irene. Now is the time to use that one.

Remove the billing item 'Proof of Skill Restitution' from the inventory and tear it apart.

"Skill reset!

All skills built specifically for an attack are rendered unusable and reduced to skill points. Skill Points are points for assigning skills. Now I can rebuild my skills as I please!

Don't hurt them. Skill configuration for disabling an opponent without hurting them. Without acquiring as much DoT damage skills as possible, such as poison, from Alexia-like skill configurations, the configuration assigned skills to seal motions such as paralysis to skill level 5. Allocate the best skills that specialize in state anomalies by aggregating the knowledge gained so far.

Before Mr. Irene's attack arrived......... I could!

"'Chain Bind'!

Chanting at the moment of completion of the allocation, the magic chain binds Mr. Irene. Mr. Irene's movements stopped altogether.

Havok would have been pierced by Rapier if he had moved one more step.

"Kaios!... you!

"Even Kaios!?

Mr. Irene's eyes shoot through me as Havok and the others send their gaze at me in surprise.

"Long time no see, Mr. Irene"

"How did you end up in a place like this... you?"

"It gets longer when we talk, so to be brief, I'm here to help someone I know"

"He said he was here to help. Stupid, what are you talking about? Why help the Commune?"

Mr. Irene doesn't try to hide his enemies. He turned his enemies against someone he knew and became sad, but he couldn't stop without his hands. I broke it off that I had no choice.

She won't resist. Because she knows it's just useless to move in a paralyzed state that renders the subject incapacitated for a certain amount of time. It is only natural that she knows the effects of this magic because it is the magic that Alexia used several times.

"Mr. Irene, let's not do this anymore"

"Like this, you say?

Mr. Irene's face is more dangerous.

"Don't be silly! You're the one who says that. Do I deserve to say that to you?

Mr. Irene takes a drink.

"You have no idea what I think or what Alexia is prepared to be here for!

"Is Master Alexia here too?

I blame you for blocking Mr. Irene's words and looking around, but there's no such thing as Alexia except the Havoks. Looks like she's somewhere else. I have to go find him later.

"It's your fault."

Stick it in my chest with a poke. The sight in my dream was evoked for a moment.

"Without you, Alexia would never have changed!

I wonder how things have changed. Do you blame me like Mr. Irene? I'm afraid to ask that.

"Go away, you can't be disturbed any more. I can't let you see Alexia."

Words that reject clearly. I'm about to butt in.

But if you keep pulling back like this with amazing, what are you here for?

"You can't just back off."

Stop the Alexeans and help the Roslines. No matter how unacknowledged you are, you stay here to push your ego through no matter how rejected you are.

Ms Irene remains annoyed and does not respond. I didn't understand what you were thinking.

The magic chain disappears. The effect of "paralysis" is not permanent. The effect time ran out while we were talking.

At the same time, Mr. Irene moved out. A tougher, more ruthless face than usual.

He gets hit in the right cheek. I guess I put a lot of effort into it. I rolled down the marble-like floor and tasted the cold on the floor.

I won't pass out because I don't have any pain, but I might die if my HP ran out even if I didn't have any pain. Make haste to check HP as soon as possible. It's okay, for the flashness of the attack, it hasn't diminished anything but thoughts.

I wonder if the damage didn't go through so much because Mr. Irene, the Berserker, hit him with his bare hands without a weapon, despite the level difference in a magician who was supposed to be a paper defense.

"Stand up. I know there's no way you're going to get hit to that extent. We fought together."

Intimidation makes me feel dull. It's usually directed at monsters. That's what's relentlessly directed at me. It was the first time I thought of it when confronted. You don't want to turn this man against the enemy. Not as someone I know, out of pure fear.

Is there a difference so far between a person who has defeated a monster with a sense of game and a person who has exchanged his life all the time?

I'm not kidding. My level is much inferior to Mr. Irene's than it has been reset from official service. If they fought as they imagined at the time, they would kill them.

They could kill you. When it becomes realistic, I panic and my thoughts are filled. As soon as I log out, but as soon as I want to escape.

"I'll wait a minute!

Voice interrupted at that time. Liam. Mr. Irene's gaze also moves.

"You didn't pinch your mouth because you seemed to know each other, but you're going to add up!

"I don't know what's going on, but are we going to stop this Mr. Seppuku?"

"I'm not sure I'll fight without killing my monster bitch or anything! I'm gonna hurt you a little bit, but be patient with that!

"I'll heal the wound later."

"Why…………"

That was the only voice I could squeeze out when I panicked.

I didn't know. Low levels are no different from mine either. Still, they're trying to fight. He is trying to resist an opponent with overwhelming strength without being frightened by sharp eyes.

Besides, he's trying to keep me from killing them.

Why not? Are they not afraid? You could die.

I wanted to hear it. I don't know how I can stay so flat.

"Thank you for saving Havok earlier. I wish I could get caught."

Liam opened her eyes and answered.

"Honestly, it startles me. As much as I want to escape if I can. Because I'm a strong opponent who overwhelms the four people I'm partying with. But there's a reason we can't pull it off, too. Because he wants to protect his people's homeland. That's why I can't pull back easily. It's been a long time since we fought here, Kaios."

It didn't look like Liam was afraid. Still, what he was saying didn't even feel like a lie. Everyone is trying to fight to protect their own indelible line. I'm fighting my way out of fear.

That was the same for me. I came back to this world because there was a line that I couldn't even see.

And yet still crawling, I don't have to do anything?

Stand up with all your strength in your hands. I'm not the only one, so let my fearful heart thrill me.

I may indeed be the only player in this world.

- But I'm not alone.
