136 - - 137. Brave Strikes Over 100 Layer Hose

I found myself in a dimly lit passageway.

The shiny corridor and the sky above me went on forever.

No matter what.

It's ...... obvious what that smirking devil is thinking.

Let's just concentrate on the game for now.

>

But there is no one around, so it doesn't really feel like it has started.

>

Gaius sends a magical message.

The younger brother is using his detection magic to locate the players.

"Oh, he's at the bottom."

"Well, you're right."

I grab my magic sword and head down the hallway.

<

<<<<<<<< Got it! >>>>>>>>

We move as Gaius instructed.

Soon, the royal members are all here at my place on the first level.

"Was there any fighting along the way?"

"No, I'm not sure what to expect, everyone is focused on finding the treasure."

Gaius looks around at the members.

"Let's stick to the plan. You and Mika focus on finding the treasure. The rest of you and I will build a stronghold. Dismissed!

I'll go with Mikhail halfway.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!　Kyoso!"

"Oh, yeah, that's good. Let's see who can get more treasure."

"Wow!　I won't lose!　If I win, would you like a prize?"

"Oh yeah, what do you want?"

Mikael thinks for a moment, then smiles and says, "Hmmm...

"I'll give you a ticket to do whatever you want with Aniue for a day!"

<>

Gaius interrupts our conversation over the comm.

>

"Yeah, no problem."

"Yay, yay, yay!"

<

Suddenly, Dantalion's voice was heard.

>

Gaius is surprised, while I say.

"Yes, you've been intercepting our transmissions, haven't you?"

<<

Communication magic is not universal.

They are sending radio waves with magic, so we can eavesdrop on them.

"We can't afford to be intercepted, so I'm going to have to force you to cut off the transmission, okay?"

Encryption makes it harder to be intercepted.

>

"Yes, what is it, Dantalion?"

She says after a short silence.

.

She sounds like she is about to cry.

<

It was a strange line.

It was like a farewell speech.

<

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, the game's just started. We'll say goodbye after the game."

>

I'll force them to cut the transmission and encrypt it.

I don't want it intercepted.

"Aniue, were you overheard?"

"Hmm?　Yeah."

"Communication interception is a very sophisticated technique. It's even more amazing that you could see through it and cut off the communication!　That's what I'm talking about!

Mikael hugs me.

"So long, Mika. See you later.

"Yes, sir!　I won't lose!"

My brother-in-law spreads his wings and runs down the aisle at a tremendous speed.

"Well, I guess I'll just do my job."

Gaius gives me the location information and I head for [my destination].

"Here it is."

I look up to the heavens.

"The ceiling of the [orichalcone] ......."

He takes his magic sword with him and assumes a thrusting stance.

"Well, that's no problem."

He concentrates his magical power on the tip of his sword and releases it.

It becomes a black beam and smashes through the ceiling of Orihalcon.

A huge hole is created in a straight line up to the 100th level.

"Yippee!"

I jump lightly.

I jumped from the bottom to the top of the huge castle of the divine will of iron.

"Hmm?　You're ahead of me?"

"Hee-hee-hee!　I mean, isn't that Julius!"

There he was, the anti-hero of the Imperial Academy.

"You!　How did you get here?"

"Well, I just jumped up here and smashed through the ceiling, didn't I?"

"The ceiling of Orihalcon!　You mean to tell me you've smashed through a hundred levels?

"Oh. What are you surprised about?"

The antagonist says as if deflated.

"Yes, ...... I'm well aware of how out of touch you are, and it's a little late for that. ......"

"What the hell, you started on the top floor. You're lucky."

"It's the worst!　Of all people, [he] is my first opponent!"

The top floor, which means we're on a rooftop.

At the end of the row of white pillars was a big chair.

There was a skeletal giant that looked up at you.

The base was a human skeleton, but it had 10,000 arms.

"I can't believe that a monster like that is guarding the treasure!　I didn't hear that!"

"That's a virtual god soldier. They're too much for ordinary people."

It's a weapon made by man in the shape of a god.

I'm surprised you didn't run away.

"Oh, no, of course not!　The treasure on the 100th level is super high point!　If you take it, you'll have a huge advantage."

I see, you were thinking about your team and trying to get some points here.

"Nice work. But I'm sorry. That one's mine."

The antagonist was hiding behind a pillar.

I'll get out from behind the pillar.

"Well, he's got the intelligence to talk. That's a very high level of god soldier."

As with monsters, the higher the intelligence, the higher the grade of strength.

"No, no way!　That monster!　You'll never beat me!　Run for it!"

"What?　If we beat them, we can take the lead at once, you know?"

I approach the God Soldier with my magic sword in my hand.

>

"What, God?　No, you're a fake god, aren't you?"

The skeletal god-soldiers freeze.

>

"Why are you such a pussy!　How can you unknowingly step on land mines!"

"What, did I say something to offend you?"

One thousand arms are raised.

>

"I see. Well, it doesn't matter if the guy who uses it is a lousy shot."

<>

A thousand blades are falling like a hail of rain.

I walk through it like a normal person.

What?　What the hell is going on?　I can't believe the attack didn't hit me at all!"

"What? I just see through all of their attacks.　You can do this. You can do this."

"<>"

I run toward the skeleton's head, dodging and sometimes deflecting attacks coming at me from all directions.

>

"More arms means better aim, right? ...... Well..."

I came right in front of his face.

I stand in the air and ready my magic sword.

>

"Sorry, for the sake of the team, get lost. ...... [deploying spiritual equipment]."

I, now divine, swing my magic sword lightly.

With that, 10,000 arms and the body of the big guy are gone in an instant.

The swords fell to the ground in scattered pieces.

I open the treasure chest that was placed on the other side of the enemy.

It is a large red jade pearl.

I place it in the necklace.

"As always, you ...... have a strength beyond all reason.

Anti was often stunned, but then he said in a disappointed tone, "I'm sorry, I can't help it.

"You want to play with me?"

"No way. I'm not so stupid that I don't know I can't beat you."

Apparently, Anti is smarter than that skeleton.

"Good luck, Anti. I'll go first."

It takes off in a whirlwind flight.

Anti-Scorpion's eyes blink.

"What, Julius?　Aren't you going to collect those scattered treasure swords?"

The skeleton was carrying a weapon, a treasure sword, which is a treasure that counts for points.

"Oh. Compared to the treasure I just recovered, it's a small thing. You can do whatever you want with it.

Anti-Socialist rolls his eyes.

But he shakes his head.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to have to turn it down.

"Well, why not?"

He says it openly and proudly.

"I am the proud son of the Emperor. It's against my honor to steal other people's things without permission.

Apparently, picking up the treasured sword was an act against his pride.

"You'll lose the game, won't you?"

"Even so, I'd rather act proud and lose."

"I see. ...... you're a real nice guy."

I will retrieve the 10,000 treasure swords.

Anti, give me the necklace.

"?　Okay, but what are you going to do?"

I transfer the 10,000 treasure swords I just recovered to the necklace I received from Anti.

Then I throw the necklace to Anti.

"You can't take someone else's things without permission, can you? Then this is my gift to you. I'm giving you something that belongs to me, of my own free will, so you can't complain about ......, right?"

The anti-personnel did not allow others to take what belongs to them without telling the owner.

"Won't ...... Gaius be angry with you for sending salt to the enemy?"

"I'm sure they'll be angry. But that's okay. He respects my wishes.

Anti holds the necklace in his hand and laughs, "Hoo .......

"Thank you, Julius. I will make good on this debt. In the name of the house of Madukas.

Anti makes a saluting pose.

"Don't be so dramatic. I merely gave it to you."

That's not how I want to be remembered. I'll pay you back in due time."

"I see. I'll see you soon then."

I jumped up and went back to Gaius.

"Thank you, ......, proud hero of old."
