278 Episode 194: The Ghost Brave and the Archaic

Now, let's talk a little bit about the state anomaly called 'petrification'.

Petrification is an abnormal condition in which your body becomes stoned as a result of reading.

Petrification is characterized by:

-It's unconscious.

· He will be in a state of temporary death.

· HP does not fluctuate.

-No natural recovery.

When recovering, the stone remains damaged.

The fact that HP does not fluctuate in the state of temporary death means that it will not die from petrification.

Conversely, no matter how damaged the stone statue is, it will not die more than it is in a petrified state.

Technically, if your whole body melts or disappears, you'll be treated like death.

Since it will not recover naturally, the petrification will be lifted by magic or medicine, but if the stone statue was damaged, it will be revived in its intact form.

Naturally, stick with paste, but it falls apart when it goes back to normal. Die.

Also, if only part of the damaged body is unpetrified, if that is a fatal (critical) area that is not 'defective', you will die.

In other words, breaking to a level that is not viable in a petrified state is good and dead. You will be imprisoned in a prison of perpetual robbery that is bad and cannot die.

Me, Maria, and Mio get close to Earth and Isle, who are falling apart.

"No... Oh no..."

"Chickshaw...... It was late......"

The two are looking at the settlement and whining with a desperate look.

Those who know about petrification will understand that there is no salvation in this situation.

"Looks like we're not talking about yesterday to see the settlement."

"Yes, it seems that the same amount of time has passed as the trail of hunting"

He looked over at the settlement and decided that petrification was not a recent event.

"Maybe it was already in this state when the letter arrived."

Even if I bottled the letter, it would have taken me a while to get there.

Mio is right, it is possible that it was already too late when he received the letter.

Now, what's wrong with this situation......

"I have a favor to ask of you..."

Ground called me when I was thinking.

Ground, with his face up, has a look that goes hand in hand with despair and readiness.

"Will you do the magic of lifting the petrification to these settlers..."

It was a plea to let the people of this settlement die.

"What are you talking about! Are you going to kill them!?

"I don't know what else I can do for you!!!

Ground yelled back, too, as Isle roughed up his voice.

Petrification is not a common state anomaly, but if you see someone petrified and fatally damaged as common sense, it is considered polite to unpetrify and let you die if possible.

Well, when we unpetrify the fragmented stone statue, it becomes a completely indispensable gross video, so no one wants to do it first...

"It is...... But......!

Isle didn't seem convinced, but he couldn't even argue with it.

As it were, Isle became silent.

... Well, actually, it's not that hard to undo the petrified people.

All you have to do is put a fragment of the stone statue in it and heal it.

The assembly is also done on its own, and even if the fragments were somewhat missing, it would be fine if the magic of "Revive" recovered the defects.

The problem is that heterogeneously-related achievements are basically kept secret.

I don't care if there are alternatives, but what can only be done with alien powers is a doctrine that can only be shown to those involved (mainly slaves).

Simply put, I'm worried about the treatment of the two old men.

Old man slave, who gets it......

For the record, the petrified are going to be forced into slavery when the petrification is lifted.

It's better to take the lead before we talk about details, because it's less of a hassle.

When I thought it was hard, I sensed a presence approaching us.

"Master Jen, please stand back"

Maria, don't kill me.

"Yes."

I decided to leave it to Maria to deal with the proximate (...).

"but ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

It was one girl who ran from the back of the woods with a roar.

You see two tunas out of your dark hair, so the race is a ghost.

Age is a tight, healthy flesh in her mid-teens. I'm well out where I'm going.

Is the problem two things: I only wear one slice, and I see various objects from the gap, and I am missing my left arm?

Well, shall we look at the status?

Name: Aska

Gender: Female

Age: 12

Race: Ghostman

Title: Ghost Man Brave

Martial Arts System

Magic system

Other

< Brave LV4 > < Sealed LV3 > < Rigid Arms (Wild Arms) LV- >

Below is the penetration by looking at the status.

-Why is there a ghost brave man here?

-It's not the look (style) of a 12-year-old?

-Why is the skill being unsealed halfway?

- Obviously, I have some unique looking skills?

In the meantime, now we will have a major race with humans, beasts, dwarves (hobbits), elves, dwarves, ghosts. Good. Good?

"Village, stay away!!!

The girl screamed in a catacotto, releasing a flying kick towards Maria, who was in the lead.

When Maria dodged with minimal movement, she definitely put her palm bottom in the girl's jaw.

It is a brilliant counter, leveraging the opponent's thrust power.

"Ugh!?

A girl who collapses in the air and rolls over unable to land either. Sounds painful.

We take the two old men away from us in that gap.

"Damn...... Gu......"

The counter to the jaw seems to have worked fairly well, a flirty girl.

Maria doesn't move on the spot and looks at the girl.

"Maria would have been able to take consciousness out of this blow, wouldn't she?

When Mio shrugged, Maria returned it in a reading.

"Just the right opportunity, I'm going to give her a little archery."

"Huh? Sorry. I don't know what that means."

Mio is confused by Maria's remarks.

"Now she's seriously trying to fight the enemy. This is the finest thing in battle experience. I'm going to lead her well and beat the crap out of her."

Mio's confusion only deepens.

Jen will not ignore her with the skills of "Brave Man". I mean, she's joining Jen's men. Then there's no harm in having you strong from an early stage. You can safely pack your valuable experience in action. It's a good opportunity, don't you think?

"I think there's some outrage, but I know what you're trying to say..."

Maria's explanation finally convinced Mio too. I'm convinced, too.

In Maria, it seems the girl has already made up her mind to join me.

More surprisingly, Maria left my escort behind.

Now that there is no Serra, the surrogate's escort, there is only one escort attached to Mr. Tamo.

Whether or not I really needed an escort, I didn't expect Maria to reduce the escort.

... No. Immediately 10 additional escorts, Mr. Tamo.

As you can't see at first sight, but your surroundings are solidified by the bees.

Isn't that a little excessive?

I want you to understand that it's necessary.

I'm not talking right now...

After a short wait, the girl, finally recovering, stares at Maria with hostile painted eyes.

It's splendid that you ate that beautiful counter and your hostility hasn't vanished.

"Me, I can't lose...... Enemy, defeat...... Ahhhhhh!!!

The girl activated her own unique skills when she shouted to her temper.

< The Rigid Arms of Ghost Bills (Wild Arms) >

Can create and manipulate invisible rigid arms.

From the left shoulder of the girl without arms, an invisible giant arm grew.

It's not just invisible, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Naturally, I can sense the signs.

"Eat!"

The girl sees Maria as a threat, ignores us and rushes towards Maria.

And try to punch Maria by waving her invisible arm.

Rigid arm's name is not Dade, and if it hits properly, Maria's HP will also shred Kakela.

Soon afterwards, it won't be......

Of course, it is a different story to have no damage and to be attacked.

Maria avoids the attack without saying anything and turns where she breaks down her attitude with a foot payment.

The girl fell as-is the momentum of the attack, so she was slammed to the ground without even taking a reception.

"Gu!!!

Big, linear attacks hardly make sense to opponents with 'moves'. At the very least, you should create a gap in your opponent before you shoot him.

"Not yet......!

The girl immediately gets up and releases a poke with her rigid arm toward Maria.

I tend to think that the centrifugal force increases the power, but in fact, the time to direct strike increases, the orbit is easier to read, and the attitude is easier to break down, so there is nothing good about it.

Nothing beats the shortest penetration, which releases from a stable structure.

I can compliment you for learning in the moment, but I'm still sweet with my thoughts.

I'm too focused on saying I'm going to attack, and I'm not at all aware that I'm going to be attacked.

Did you think the counter earlier was a coincidence?

"Huh?"

The girl raised her voice like a shriek, Gong! The dull sound sounds.

A pebble played by Maria hit the girl's defenseless forehead. That hurts.

"Damn......!

He falls on his back, but barely accepts and stares at Maria.

"Not yet!"

The girl doesn't give up. Again, now she releases a poke that includes vigilance.

- Gong!

Too bad, if you're only on guard right in front of me, you'll hit the stone Maria threw on top while you were squatting.

"Gu..."

I also find the time difference attack from an invisible direction a little mean.

But it is also true that it is an attack that could have been prevented by simply observing the fundamentals of 'keeping your eyes off your opponent during battle' or 'not relying solely on your eyes and not failing to detect signs'.

"This time!!

The girl who never gives up repeatedly pokes without punishment.

Now he's not taking his eyes off Maria even if the stone hits him, and he's widening his alert range.

After all, the learning abilities of local braves are great.

Especially since catching up with the hard-working brave (Maria) isn't easy.

Maria avoided the girl's poking outward (...).

"Ah!?

The girl seems to have understood her own failure at that moment.

As a matter of fact, when I say 'invisible' in the Rigid Arms of Haunted Bills, it only applies to the other person, who sees the arm firmly (...).

In other words, the giant arm blocks sight.

This is a drawback that Maria knows only because she uses invisible weapons herself.... mythological (gods) gear, though less likely to be used outside of training.

"Ha!!!

The price for not understanding that his own attack would give birth to a blind spot was Maria's upper-level kick to the temple.

It's not a stone throw like a warning, it's a blow to the steeple by kicking. The girl was overwhelmed, for a moment, but unconscious.

As Maria waited on the spot, the girl rose, flirting.

The girl's fighting spirit had not diminished at all, even if she had been troubled so far.

Even then, Maria continued to attack the girl without saying anything.

In one offense, Maria always fights back to point out the girl's bad points.

The girl also has HP Auto Recovery, so she won't die.

Maria is also a sparta inside to make her remember with pain.

Luckily, the girl didn't have the skills to fight.

The fundamentals of martial arts skills are the efficiency of operations.

If the girl had < martial arts >, the operation would have been streamlined from the start and Maria would have pointed it out less.

But that's just drawing the right answers by skill, not understanding 'why' you can't.

polar theory, as long as you understand that, you can do the same as your skills even if you don't have them.

After a while, where the gap has diminished since the girl's attack, Maria has now become aggressive in launching the attack.

Unfortunately, fewer gaps in attack and better defense are not equals.

"Knock! Tsk!?

Not to say proof of this, but the girl has not broken off Maria's attack and has been hit many times.

Is the question in that a girl's high ability to learn is difficult to apply to defense?

He is caught in Maria's feint and has eaten many attacks.

For once, not caught on the exact same feint, but easily wasted with a few applications.

Obviously the experience on defense is too low. Would it be more correct to say that there is no basement?

Maybe the girl has taken little defensive action before.

The firepower of a Ghost Bill (Wild Arms) is quite a thing. If it was fire that overwhelmed your opponent and you didn't have to defend it, it's possible.

Do we have to wait for Maria to plant a defense?

"Hey, how long will this fight last? No, it's more of an audition than a battle..."

The moment I decided to wait for temperament, Earth has now asked me more questions.

It's been quite some time since it started already, but Earth and Isle have always been blinded by the archery of two brave men.

If I had watched it calmly, it wouldn't have been strange to notice it in the first person's offense.

"Looks like the other guy was coming to kill me, but I guess Maria's going to be archaic. I don't know how long it will last. Isn't that until the girl runs out of strength? I'm not tired of watching it, so it's good to stay like this for a while, right?

The girl's growth is watchful and smiling.

"Obviously I'm an official of this village, so I'd like to hear from you if I can..."

"Don't be in such a hurry because you'll be able to hear the story after the audition"

"Huh? Has it been attacked by all that hostility stripping?

Right, Isle hasn't noticed yet?

"Look, don't you see? Hostility has already vanished from the girl's eyes."

"Huh?"

Sure, the first one was a take-out of hostility, and I didn't feel like the story made sense.

But at the end of the day, when the girl was repeatedly attacking, she seemed to have regained her calm by seeing how Maria fought and realizing its sincerity.

And the girl, who realised in earnest, did not stop fighting there and continued to seriously (...) attack Maria.

I recognize Maria as my superior and I'm trying to learn the moves.

I don't hate uplifting girls.

Then by the time Maria attacked a few times, the girl's movements were clearly getting worse.

"You're almost done."

"Do you understand?

"Oh, the girl's health seems to be at its limit."

Actually, there are some techniques you can only learn when your health is at its limit.

For example, the way your body moves when you're tired, your body only remembers when you're tired.

I just wouldn't be able to tell you that in an 'unspoken audition' like right now.

"Let's get this far"

Maria spoke out a long time ago.

At the next moment, Maria raised her gear one step.

Hardly enough, the girl, who had been able to spare Maria's attack a little, could not go about the sudden change in speed and was blown away by Maria's thrust (yes) in her jaw.

It is completely pruned of consciousness and falls on its back.

"Thank you for waiting, Jen."

"Good day. How'd it go?

"It's immature. I'll learn what I told you, but I don't seem to be comfortable thinking about it and sublimating myself."

Asking Maria walking in as if nothing had happened, she returned a pretty spicy assessment.

"Hear One and Know Ten" isn't that easy.

"Mio, can you take care of that kid?

"Rikai"

When I ask, Mio runs over to the fallen girl and starts caring.

The girl's HP has been considerably reduced in the last blow. Yes, but that alone would take a considerable amount of time to regain consciousness.

For the record, < The Rigid Arms of Ghost Bills (Wild Arms) > disappeared when the girl's consciousness was gone.

The truth is, there are more forms of development in this skill, but the girl only used it as a 'substitute for her arms'. No body.

A moment later, the girl regained consciousness.

It's not nice to have a large number of strangers, so I leave Maria and Mio to deal with it, and the men wait a little further away.

Naturally, I can hear my voice.

Earth and Isle have a deafening distance.

"Are you okay? Can we talk?

"It's okay. I suddenly attacked, I'm sorry"

It is a sign of righteousness to be able to apologize for what you thought was bad.

All of a sudden, however, the attack is a testament to a man who is not justified.

Which one?

"Can you tell me your name?

"Me, Aska. And you?"

"I'm Mio. Nice to meet you."

"It's Maria. There's Jen, Isle, Earth from the left."

Maria will show us and introduce you to Aska again.

"Why did you attack us?"

"The woman who came to this island on a sunny day, was the enemy. Also, I thought it was an enemy."

Drifters sometimes flow to this island on stormy days. But landing on this island on a sunny day is difficult because of the basilisk.

Someone must have come to this island before on a sunny day. And that was the enemy. So you think we're enemies, too?

"What brings you guys to this island?

"They say Earth and Isle's family are on this island. That's why I came to this island by boat."

"Family...... Everyone on this island is stoned..."

Asuka's expression was clearly cloudy.

"Because of Aska, it turned to stone...... I, want to be strong...... Everyone's Vengeance, Take"

That must have been why I kept fighting Maria and demanded strength.

"What time are we talking about everybody being stoned?

"Uh....... 3...... years ago...... about?

In other words, a letter in the hands of the Grounds was written more than three years ago.

"In the meantime, did you talk to anyone or something?

"Yeah."

"I see..."

I thought the way the girl spoke was catacotted by reason.

A 12-year-old girl hasn't spoken to anyone in three years since she was nine.

That's enough time not to be unnatural to forget words.

Mio's question continued afterwards.

"What was going on with the food and stuff?

"Demons, defeated and ate. And nuts."

"You don't live in this settlement?

"Stone shards, it's hard to watch. Sleeping away."

"What about those worn out clothes?

"The things of the settlement's sister. Suddenly my body grew bigger and I couldn't get my clothes on. Chest, Interference..."

"I envy you..."

About Aska's life.

"What kind of people were in the settlement?

"About 50 people in all. There are 30 descendants of those who have flown in. There's about 20 people who've flown in."

"Which one were you?

"Descendants of the Flooded"

"Do you know what a bottled letter is?

"I know. Quite a few, I threw. Did that arrive?

"Yeah, that letter said those two families were alive."

"The flowing people, all, that the letter would arrive, I prayed"

About the people who were in the settlement.

"Who's the enemy?

"Beautiful girl. A little older than me at the time."

"Oh, you were just as good as Maria..."

"Yes. That's why I was attacked. Sorry......"

"How could a settler have been stoned?

"On a sunny day, I found a strange girl and I chased her. Noticed, attacked. I commanded the mighty demon to stone everyone. And broke it...... Unforgivable......"

About the enemy who attacked the village.

"What happened to that arm?

"Stoned by demons. I just needed my left arm to shelter me. But because of that, the strongest man, he was stoned."

"What was that invisible arm earlier?

"I was attacked by demons and was stoned except for me. I was dying, too, losing my arm. But when I woke up, my body moved more than before. When I realized, that arm, I could get it out."

Mr. Alta, please explain.

A: The brave < seal > disappears when the brave die. The state of temporary death, and the survival from it, may have caused the < seal > to disappear halfway.

So, don't you remember anything other than related and unique skills?

"Can I call those three, too? I'm not gonna do anything terrible to you."

"Okay. It's okay."

I just heard the whole story, and they called us, too.

Mio conveyed a cursory explanation to Earth, Eyre.

"Hey lady, let me hear you..."

Earth asked about his own family.

Happy or unhappy, Aska seems to know who Earth's family is because of the traits she heard about.

Likewise, about the family of Isle......

"Well, after all, they were stoned too..."

"If only we'd come here sooner..."

"Ugh..."

Asked Aska about the last of his family, and the two cried down.

Aska also sees two of those and cries memories.

After the three settled somewhat, Earths opened his mouth as if it were difficult to say.

"Does the lady know more about petrification?

"Not familiar"

"Right..."

From there, Earth gave an explanation of the characteristics of petrification and of the petrification release.

He's still alive now, but he's unconscious, and he's never going back to normal. That it is kindness to lift the petrification and let you die.

"No! They're all still alive! I don't want you to die!

"But there's no going back... That's pathetic, isn't it?

"No! No! Absolutely not!!!

Aska, who has become like a child without a hearing.

Given his age and spiritual growth, he may not be able to do so either. For that matter, the body is growing up in vain......

And Asuka followed me to the point that I could cancel the petrification.

"I'll do anything! I'll do anything, guys, help me!

All right! 'I'll do anything', I got it.
