Chapter 335.1: Strange Grief Wants to Retire 8?

And just like that, we escaped our predicament and retreated to Yggdra.

Quietly, but as quickly as possible, we reach Serene's house, which is built on top of a particularly giant tree, and finally catch our breath.

The new Adler's Army and the masked Phantoms that appeared in the Temple of Origin. Both sides are undoubtedly fearsome opponents that even High-Level Hunters cannot easily take on. If even a single button had been pressed incorrectly, casualties would have appeared on our side as well. It can be said that the battle was like treading on thin ice.

*Yare, Yare* Good grief, I thought it was really over this time. (Cry)

I wipe my forehead with my arm. I am not sweating because I am comfortable tho'. However, even in a comfortable state, I could understand that it was clearly a dangerous situation. If I had not been comfortable, I might not have been able to stay calm.

As I breathe a sigh of relief, Kruz, who has accompanied me, says in a high-pitched voice.

Hey, Yowaningen! Why are you trying to make it seem like everything is finished, desu! We haven't resolved anything at all, desu! (Kruz)

We haven't been able to lift the curse, which had been our goal. I did not expect assailants, but there is no doubt that we were saved by it, but (Serene)

Says Serene in a puzzled manner when she heard Kruz. Un, un, that's right. I didn't expect it either. And Kruz also hit the mark with what she said. Nothing Has been resolved.

Lapis gives me a cold (Not to mention usual) look and says.

It is a good thing that you were able to lead the bandits on without making contact with them. Hmph You might have made the other side be on alert, though. (Lapis)

Lapis, Kuu is thinking while having a plan in his mind Probably. (Eliza)

Eliza is too soft on Yowaningen, desu! In the first place, there's no way he doesn't have a plan in his mind, desu! Lapis is complaining about the fact that he took that kind of strategy based on the premise that he has a plan in his mind, desu! (Kruz)

The innermost part of the Drifting Road of the Divine Tree. Suddenly, a black metallic blade jumps out into space and moves as if cutting through the air.

Yuden's head crawls out from the crack in the space that has occurred. There is nothing below its chest and on its back are a half-dead Adler and Quint. Finally, as Uno gasps and descends through the crack, a doll holding a large pair of scissors jumps out and a card soldier *yoroyoro* staggers out before the crack closes silently.

Haa, haa I thought I was going to die (Uno)

My heart is still beating violently. Uno Silva's servantRipper is a holy spirit with the extremely rare power to manipulate space. The holy spirit that resides in Uno's doll is the only Monster that has followed Uno and is also the lifeline of Night Parade (Hyakki Yako) in case of emergency.

However, this is the first time I have used it while being overthrown and used its power in a row like this. Adler and Quint fall on their backs as they collapse from Yuden's neck. Uno, who was concentrating on defense, is still fine, but the two of them also joined in the battle, so they must have been exhausted that much more.

The new Adler army, which was created with great difficulty in the Drifting Road of the Divine Tree, has also suffered devastating damage. However, the mere fact that all the Guides are still alive is nothing short of a miracle.

Throwing out her spear, Adler, soaked in blood and sweat, says wearily.

A draw, huh I thought I could win. (Adler)

They were a bit too strooong. I never would have thought that even the Star-Eater Centipedes and the monsters of the Drifting Road of the Divine Tree, who had been strengthened so much by the Mana Materials, couldn't defeat themWell, in the outside world, we would have been undefeated for a while, y'knooow. (Uno)

They are too strong! Even though it was in a brawl, I can't believe Zork got killed. Are Phantoms really better? (Quint)

Says Quint as if he wanted to spit out. He is stout in his words, but his face is pale. Zork is a Monster that has been Quint's right-hand man ever since he subjugated it. He is probably more shocked by that than by the fact that all the soldiers he had just acquired got killed.

Thanks for reading! I did think that Cry could use Adler as a decoy while lifting Luke's curse. But now that he said it I am like Oh now that he said it that is not going to happen huh. So what will be his real plan!?
