“As for me, I’m glad that all my targets are gathered in one place…”
Just then, Edda’s death was announced.
There were times when the announcement was delayed a little, but considering the time it would have taken for Necoco to reach us, there had to be more to it.
She had definitely used some kind of trick..,.
While I had to focus on the fight, I couldn’t help but be curious…!
“I suppose the most likely explanation is that you used the claw missiles. However, that wouldn’t work unless you made sure that Edda couldn’t move.”
“Exactly. I robbed her of movement, buried the claw missiles, and then detonated them with a short delay. Aside from the ‘Metamorphosis Elf’ Miracle Effect, her combat style mainly relies on skills. As she doesn’t use charge attacks, there are no cooldowns, so there are no waves in her combat ability. However, she doesn’t do much damage either, so I was able to get up close and play a few tricks!”
“Well, Edda always talks too much, and probably revealed all of her own tricks…But we knew that. That’s why Gullinkambi and I have been fighting without her.”
Now that it was certain that Edda was dead, it was just me, Necoco, Nord, and Gullinkambi left.
If it was 2 vs 2, we still had a chance…!
“Necoco, can you use that movement binding skill on them?”
“No. Paralize Eye Power has too short a range. It’s more of a joke skill. You have to be close enough that you can kiss them. Though, if you succeed, then you can make them completely powerless.”
Close enough to kiss them…
Yes, that would be difficult to do with Nord.
He had pistols, meaning he could deal with you at close range as well.
“Alright. You target Gullinkambi then. He’s an insane buffer, who can enhance skills so they are like charge attacks. He has lots of defense skills and my arrows barely did any damage. But close quarters combat might…”
“Got it. You want me to get that guy with the red face who is panting!”
“Yeah…what?”
As Necoco said, Gullinkambi’s face was red and he looked like he was in pain!
But he hadn’t been moving much at all. So why were his shoulders heaving like he was out of breath…?
“I see…!”
The reason that his skills were so powerful…
It was because they were only effective while he was blowing his flute!
Just like how the cooldowns allowed them to make charge attacks more powerful, skills could also have their abilities raised by having limits in place.
My Floating Cloud Herd could only be activated three times in an hour. And there was the demerit of them disappearing in five minutes. But it was because of that, that it was such a useful skill.
Similarly, it was because of this limitation of them only being active while he was playing, that the buffs were so powerful!
Having to blow into the flute every time to activate a skill must be hard.
And he would not be able to maintain the effect unless he kept blowing.
So that was why he was out of breath!
“No…Nord… I can’t…keep it up while getting hit…! Sorry…! I can’t protect you…”
“You did enough. Leave the rest to me, Gullinkambi.”
“Yes, I’m going to go all out…!”
Gullinkambi switched his weapon from the flute to a small hammer.
He was going to do something…!
“Gatling Inferno Arrow!”
If he discarded the flute, then he would not be able to make sound barriers!
Just go down quietly then…!
However, Gullinkambi fell to the ground and dodged the arrows!
“Oh? So crouching low really does make it harder for ranged attacks to hit you… Huh. That’s why they practice crawling in the military… How very…interesting!”
Clang… Gullinkambi hit the ground with his hammer.
And the ground rippled like liquid and caught Necoco and my legs!
“It-it’s shaking…! But!”
I aimed at Gullinkambi again and shot my arrows.
While my footing wasn’t stable, the arrow went straight towards Gullinkambi and pierced his body!
“No way…! How can you aim in this situation… You’re scary. And so I’m going to leave you to Nord…!”
Gullinkambi grabbed his flute again and held it to his lips!
This…he was going to blow!
“Melody For You!”
A rainbow-colored arrow shot towards Nord!
I couldn’t allow it to reach him…!
“Big Inferno Arrow!”
Cancel arrow with arrow… But it didn’t work!
It must be a Miracle Effect then…!
And so the arrow reached Nord, and his body began to glow in the colors of the rainbow!
“End game…Dark Matter Bullet.”
The black stream was unleashed from both pistols, and the whole area was swallowed up.
◆ ◆ ◆
“It’s over…”
The Miracle Effect ‘Dark Matter Bullet’ had the simple effect of unleashing dark energy from a bullet.
Unlike Kyuji’s Southern Cross Ballista, it could be controlled after activation by moving the guns.
And for a fixed time, the energy would continue to flow.
Because of this, it was possible for him to rotate his body so that he drew a circle with his guns, covering everything.
However, while he had freedom after activating it, the actual power was inferior to Southern Cross Ballista.
If they shot at each other from the front, it would be Nord who would lose.
However, it was a different story if he was under the effect of Gullinkambi’s Miracle Effect, ‘Melody For You.’
In NSO, being enveloped by an aura meant a status boost.
If the aura was close to gold, then your status would be raised considerably.
And if it was rainbow-colored…strategies you wouldn’t normally use would now be possible.
Melody For You allowed you to sacrifice a chunk of your own HP in order to raise another player’s status more than double. And it would affect their skills and charge attacks as well.
In the case of Dark Matter Bullet, the unleashed energy would be twice as thick, and twice as fast. The range was also doubled.
Normally the attack would have just thrashed at everything in the area, but now it was carving out the ground around him and altering the terrain.
Of course, Kyuji and Necoco were gone.
Once the field was nearly flat, Nord stood in the center of it.
In order to hear the announcement of his victory…!
Necoco’s death was announced.
And then…
Shu! Zhunk!
“…!?”
An arrow…was stuck in Nord’s shoulder!
“It’s not possible…!”
He turned in the direction that the arrow had come from.
In the far distance, Kyuji was standing on a boulder!
“H-how did he escape! Was it Warp Arrow…! Still, there wasn’t enough time for him to…! I calculated everything with that attack…!”
However, Kyuji was still alive!
There was no announcement!
There was only one thing for Nord to do…
“Get close…and shoot!”
◆ ◆ ◆
It could have ended right there…!
But thanks to some luck and good ideas, I managed to survive…!
As Gullinkambi was gone, the rippling effect on the ground was deactivated.
However, since my legs had been inside of the liquid, I was stuck in it once it regained its solid state.
It really was a well thought out attack…!
He restricted our movement so that we would not be able to escape while Nord was unleashing all of that energy.
And I didn’t know if Warp Arrow would work if I was fixed to the ground.
That was why Necoco used a charge attack to cut off my legs, so I would not hesitate.
As children were watching this fight, it didn’t look like they were actually severed, but they would no longer function like actual legs.
And once I was free, I used Teleportation Windgod Sky Tear, which was the fused charge attack of Warp Arrow and Windgod Sky Tear, and escaped to the far off mountains…!
It really was in the nick of time.
In the first place, you only warped once the arrow landed. So you couldn’t move while the arrow was still in the air.
And the enemy’s attack had been very fast, and I would have likely been caught in it if I was delayed by a split second.
The only reason that I made it in time was because of Necoco’s swift actions, Quickdraw, and the energy pressure from Dark Matter Bullet…!
I twisted my body as far as I could and unleashed Warp Arrow in the opposite direction.
Because of that, the arrow was affected by the energy pressure from Dark Matter Bullet, and accelerated…!
I had used the enemy’s attack to survive. And while Nord was still shooting Dark Matter Bullet around, I used a regeneration potion to heal my legs.
And once the effects of Dark Matter Bullet and the Melody For You buff ended, I started attacking again.
There was only one thing for me to do…
“Shoot…so that he can’t get close to me!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
