After another day of travel, I finally arrived at the border with Kamer Shrine.
It is a strange sight.
The Army of the Kingdom of Orange is waiting for us, with troops lined up side by side in a desert area dotted with remains of archeological sites.
That number, three thousand, would be useless.
And the infantry here are too big. It seems that Mr. Cigarone's expectation was just right.
Well, but it's a peaceful talk, but there's a line of soldiers ... Nova's, apparently.
What that means, whether self-defense or deterrence or provocation, is to show the other side that "you can always start."
"Stop. No matter what happens, never move from here."
"Oh! Hear me or hear me! I'm not going to move one step from this place!
I instructed the captain, stopped more than three hundred meters from the Army of the Kingdom of Orange, and got off the horse and walked alone.
"Oh, hey! Seven, hey ..."
He hears the captain's confused voice from behind.
But I can't stop. The captains do not move. If that's the thing, I'm the one.
Approach thousands of soldiers alone. This is the biggest provocation.
However, it is up to Nova to accept this as a provocation or a compromise.
"OK"
First breakthrough.
One of them is approaching me.
No doubt, Nova.
It's just right. She chose one-on-one, where she could meet several thousand. The soldiers behind her, like this, do not move alone.
Oh, I like the woman with this kind of energy.
"--Kuhah, I was surprised that I was approaching alone. Did the empire still have some bones?"
At the heart of the desert, we met again, surrounded by soldiers from each other.
Nova hasn't realized me yet.
"Well, surprisingly, I didn't throw it away."
I really reply.
Nova muttered, "He," and continued her words.
"I don't know where I heard it, but imitating the second is useless, but I'll just praise her sensitive ears and hairy heart."
Oops, my name came out.
I myself don't really know what I mean, but it seems that the answer right now was like me.
But he hasn't yet. Nova seems to think I'm imitating the second.
Indeed, because he was so crowded, he might think Nova's weakness might be his second weakness. Nova wasn't expected to be able to poke it during the talks.
"Now you've made me feel so good. Are you going to have a meaningful talk?"
...... No, it was unexpected. You're obviously angry. The provocation was unintentionally successful.
"Wait. I didn't do it for that purpose."
"That's why. Don't forget you are speaking in front of the Army General of the Kingdom of the Oranges, Nova Barteremon."
Because I'm the person ... I want to say, but I can't say.
I thought about solving the change and revealing its identity, but it was still risky. There may be only one good-looking soldier, no matter how far away.
“…………”
I silenced first.
This is to bring the game to a Thaiman match according to Nova's appearance.
There is no need for skirmishes.
Even if you say it one by one, you will know everything later.
A match is just a conversation.
"Shut up. Okay. Regardless of the restraints at hand, this situation is a good example of each other's position."
Each other's position.
The top of each other walked and faced, staring at the soldiers. In other words, despite being quite nervous, they have literal room for each other.
But that's only for the country. Hence the position and Nova expressed.
The difference between personal feelings and positional claims.
Nova's real intention has been transmitted to me somehow.
Are you tingling to want to try them?
"The demands of the Marvel Empire are that the Kingdom of Orange will allow the Marvel Empire to stay in the Shizun small nation, and that the Army of the Kingdom of Orange will withdraw from the Kamer Shrine."
"The Kingdom of Orange has two requirements: the immediate withdrawal of the Marvel Empire from the Small Citizen, and the conclusion of the Marvel Empire with a non-aggression treaty with the Small Citizen."
The demands are exactly the opposite.
The Marvel Empire, who wants to stay in a small country, and the Kingdom of Orange, who wants to drive away from a small country.
If you can stay, the empire will be easier to invade the Kamer Shrine. If you are driven away, you will be resident in the Kingdom of Orange, and the empire will have no foothold in the Kamer Shrine.
Fukasin Convention ... I don't know. The highest score in the history was four points.
Anyway, it is impossible for an empire to take that demand.
Then you have to find a compromise.
"What about withdrawing from each other?"
When I suggested, Nova laughed with her nose and answered.
"Can't you believe it?"
That's right.
"Then we're going to withdraw, so we promise that we won't have any troops in Shizun Small Country."
"Nah. If the Imperial Army withdraws immediately and concludes a non-aggression treaty with Shizun Small State, we will be able to meet the request."
"I can't believe it."
"Let's conclude an agreement with the nonaggression treaty at the same time."
"I don't mean to sign a treaty in the first place."
"It must be a story"
"I'm not clear"
The parts that cannot be yielded overlap each other and the story is unlikely to proceed.
... Is it timely?
Come on, wait.
"Well then, let's put on black and white."
"Do you want to stop the war?"
"No. You and me."
"........."
After the silence, Nova laughed.
After all, this woman has a fighting madness.
It's a totally cool squad.
"That's a mistake, in the sense that you'll settle one-on-one with Nova Barteremon, the last fighting god."
Compromise "No doubt, follow the winner, how about this?"
"Interesting, especially the compromise."
If we were to pass the whole request, even the best Nova wouldn't. Then, he presented this condition. Apparently you like it.
"But more than that ..."
Nova unravels her crossed arms, showing sharp teeth and laughing.
"Kuh, kuhahah! Similar! If you're not a second and brother? Should I say hello?"
I was sorry.
You may have noticed that my attitude was not imitation, but plain.
"Your self-confidence is like seeing the second. It makes me expect."
"You're not going to lose"
"Of course, there is no idiot thinking about losing before the match."
Nova sharpened her eyes and uttered words that she had heard somewhere.
Already motivated.
"Well, when do you start?"
"Even right now"
"..."
When I return, Nova momentarily clogs her breath.
"... Is it exactly the same time?"
That's what he is.
I'm full of motivation.
Especially this time, the condition is a condition.
A tough game I've never seen before, I know it well.
"Get away. When the coins fall, it's time to start."
"all right"
The spectators are the soldiers of the empire and the kingdom, 150 meters away.
The match is a killing of apts who do not use a “due crown”.
This condition is one. Don't take any damage, that's it.
Oh no, no. There is one more. These are "Ariari" rules, but this is a "Nashinasashi" rule.
The term "ant" means "transformation ant summoning ant". Pear is a "transformation pear summoning pear".
The reason why I can't transform or summon is because the soldiers are bald that I am the second. Angolmore is a shot of a rare spirit. Anko is in the middle of the desert and cannot be served, and Miroku is too characteristic. If transformed, the invincible effect of 8 seconds will cause the wraith to blow off and release the self-change.
But Nova is different.
Yes, the skill I taught her at the Yakan Memorial Party was-Transformation.
It's only been about 10 days after the party is over, but she's definitely remembered.
If you use Summon Spirit or Summon Demon, you're done, but she's not going to be able to summon her, as long as she claims to be one-on-one.
So, I have to beat her transformed, unaltered, without eating a single blow.
Moreover, the act of “receiving an attack” may lead to damage. To be specific, the opponent's "Flying Body Art" is received by "Square Shield Art", and "Silver General Art" is hit. If any damage is passed, it will be NG.
That is, the conditions are more severe than expected.
Well, I'll win but come on.
"!"
The coin has fallen.
Nova's first move was Ryomataijutsu. The idea is to approach with a dash punch.
"-!?"
I won't do that.
I took the lead with Infantry Archery and continued firing from there.
The short bow is used instead of the usual long bow. It is to specialize in rapid fire and make Nova follow up.
If you continue to shoot 10 times in [bowing], there will be 5 seconds of cool time before the eleventh attack. Therefore it is necessary to leave 1.2 seconds at the ninth time.
Nova can't miss that chance.
Nova, who had desperately avoided until then, rushed here in time for the ninth minute.
Indeed, I tend to forget, but she is very smart. There seems to be considerable knowledge. I thought that he was just a [body art], but he also seems to have knowledge of [bow art].
"K, ha ha"
But still keep them close.
Nova looked at my skills and laughed.
In this case, I will lose if I approach Nova. Therefore, the tactics are also limited to those based on long distance.
"Ryoma thread operation". It is a skill that scatters a number of threads radially to restrain the touched object.
As expected, it fired at Nova's last minute, but evaded my 16lb fluorocarbon.
I immediately cancel my skill and get a short bow again.
"After all ...!"
Nova was reading my hand.
At the timing of taking out the short bow, he activates “Kohjutsu” and swings the kick from bottom to top at a terrible speed.
"!"
One technique that uses the field of desert blinding.
And at the same time, it is also a smoke screen.
It is very effective against long-range attacks because it makes it difficult to aim. There is no more, two birds with one stone.
...... It's the best, Nova. He has a great sense and is used to fighting.
But not as much as me.
"what!?"
I immediately discarded the short bow. I didn't have time to close my inventory. He takes out Mithril Spear, prepares Gold Spear, and activates it according to Nova's pursuit kick kick, Keima Gymnastics.
The spear gold counterattacks. Rather than catching an attack, the skill to parry and return to the opponent. Therefore, it is possible to respond to an attack without receiving even one damage.
"Guu ...!"
Nova went down after eating Gold Spear, which had the power of Infantry.
It's not much damage, but it's great that I got down here.
Now, let's go decide.
"!"
And dangerous dangerous. forgot.
Nova still has Makeover.
The Transform skill has the potential to completely overturn its advantages and disadvantages. Of course, buffing the status is a big factor, but the 8 seconds of invincibility, especially the 2 seconds of free movement after the 6 seconds of rigor, have been terribly troublesome.
"Hey, use it."
Therefore, let's use it here.
I take out the longbow and cast Angling Archery.
It has a relatively short stiff time after activation, but it has a penetrating effect and can earn damage as it is. This cannot be ignored.
“—Weirdness!”
Nova paused and cast her Makeover skill.
My Angling Archery is defeated by invincible time.
"..."
As soon as I finished the long bow, I picked up the short bow and turned around and sprinted.
Anyway, we have to get away now.
It's over if you can close the distance in invincible 2 seconds.
Three seconds have passed. Twenty meters away, I turned around and turned short bow.
Nova is a wind-style makeover, and looks good.
So, let's go in the direction of avoiding wind-sensitive water attributes.
"!!"
When I was preparing [Magic], which made "Synergy" and "Fire" I opened my eyes.
Wind / Shiel is a skill that generates many small tornadoes. A fireball and a block of rock are added to it, making it a catastrophic attack.
The knowledgeable she probably knew the characteristics of each skill. When the nasty came, he instantly understood.
"It's interesting"
Six seconds have passed.
The stiffened Nova, upon completion of the transformation, can move invincibly for two seconds.
And she started preparations-Ryomataijutsu.
Like the opening, is the aim of using a dash punch to reduce the distance?
No, just like I showed Davidoff and Cubero in the Summer Fighting Rebels, I read the idea of hitting the ground after a dash, jumping up, and trying to approach while avoiding magic.
Then, if you activate it a little earlier ...
"!?"
The grin and the mouth of Nova peeking through the mask laughed.
And start moving.
……fast!
Double faster than expected!
Dan: Nova's guy, if you've already turned up Transformation in this short period ...! ?
My magical activation was a bit delayed, at a speed unexpected to Nova.
It is a failure to get closer than 10 meters. If you hit the ground and jump up, you won't hit my magic.
Well, what did you do after jumping up?
I wonder if the silver of "Silver General Shield" is just in time.
"--What !?"
"Lies !?"
Immediately after, a completely unexpected event occurs.
A nova that earns distance with a dash punch and beats the ground in front of my witchcraft to jump up.
The ground collapsed, the moment she hit the ground.
Zugon! With the sound of the crushing rocks, the sand soared and a hole opened in the desert.
I intuitively. That is the remains of archeological sites. There is a wide cavity just below where we stand.
"Gua !!"
Nova, who could not jump, was hit by magic.
Stunned It seemed to be considerable damage, Nova did.
On the contrary, Nova is thrown into the air and falls as if sucked into a hole in the desert.
...... Mazui. She has already taken great damage with magic. Moreover, if you take fall damage, the worst case-die.
"...!"
My body was already moving.
Oh, a miracle. Thinking about the next, it was nice to have a dish.
I canceled Silver General Shield and immediately cast Rookie Shield.
Chase Nova with a faster charge than sprinting.
And a little later than Nova, who disappeared into the hole, I jumped into the hole.
Wow, insanely wide. The light of the sun coming through the hole eeriely illuminated the interior of the dim ruins, showing me the whole picture. That's enough to eat a lot of damage even if you're not dying.
"Anko" "--Yes, here" "Wolf" "Wish" "Transfer"
Summon a Demon Summon and immediately make a Wolf-type "Dark Makeover" and "Dark Transfer" to the ground.
Drop Damage Elimination Technique # 5, Riding.
Okay, but here's one problem.
Nova is falling before me. I can't hold Nova.
What should I do?
“…………”
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
Oh, what should I do! This idiot! Shit! Can you claim the world's top spot without flashing here? There is something! Absolutely! My intuition says so! Bet on the potential of Mevion!
"... Uh, this is it!"
I found it! !
But yabe! Maybe less than two seconds! !
I became desperate, extended 16lbs of fluorocarbon from my inventory to Nova, and fired Keima Threading.
"Press!!"
success! Just operate Nova and activate the "Riding" skill within 2 meters from the bean just before landing ...!
"Nice!"
Horse riding landing success!
Hmm, it worked ...
""
Immediately after, I was knocked on the ground from my head and lost consciousness.
