“Multi-Burning Arrow! Burning Arrow Storm! Exploding Sky Tear! I’m Burning Arrow!”

I used a chain of Burning Arrow fusion charge attacks and skills, as they seemed like they would be the most effective.
I even used I’m Arrow.
However, as I hadn’t decided on which to focus on, the Black Rider or the horde of locusts, the attacks were scattered.
Resulting in the worst outcome.
They were both fine…
And so I used Warp Arrow to fall back as if fleeing.
What could I do now…

“Ah, Windcloud Blast!”

Windcloud Blast created a strong wind in the direction that you chose.

The small bugs could not fly against it.
Now I have sealed the Famine Locust!

My opponent seemed to understand this as well, and so he switched his attack method.
This time, he threw a black ball of energy at me.
So this was Black Apocalypse then.
According to the description from Letter Arrow, this would weaken my status if I was hit by it.

“Windcloud Blast! Whirlwind! Floating Cloud Herd!”

I used Whirlwind to become lighter and then used the Windguard Hakama to rise up into the air.
Then I hopped around on the nine clouds made by Floating Cloud Herd and dodged the enemy’s attacks while unleashing my own.
The bugs could not fly this high.
Wind and height… With these two countermeasures, I was no longer afraid.

I continued to dodge the bullets of black energy while meting out my own attacks until the Black Rider fell.
The horde of fog-like locusts also disappeared, and I let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps I was overreacting to the bugs.
But I couldn’t help but hate them.
I’m sure that I will continue to fight desperately in the future…!

As for the flower that the Black Rider dropped… It was a red leaf.
A red maple leaf, to be exact.
…It’s not even a flower.
It was indeed something that made you think of autumn, but it wasn’t a flower.

Well, compared to cherry blossoms and sunflowers, there wasn’t a flower that really made you think of autumn.
Red spider lilies and cosmos…people would have different opinions on that.
But for me, all it meant was that I had another weakness on my head.
As long as it wasn’t huge or heavy, it didn’t matter if it was a flower or a leaf.
Though, there was something a little sad about a dead leaf on an old man’s head… But I decided not to think about it.

A warp panel appeared now that the boss was defeated, and I stepped onto it in order to return to the central floor.
I now had three flowers on my head… One of them wasn’t a flower, but it was easier to call it that.
I had to protect them and clear the final dungeon.
And if I could return to this floor, I would get the Virgo medal and the special reward.
And that would mean I had finished all twelve of the zodiac labyrinths that made up this event.
The only thing left would be to go to the Serpent Palace that floated above the first town…

I was starting to feel nervous.
At first, twelve trials had seemed like a lot.
But now it felt like it was over all too quickly… Well, maybe not that quickly.
But it did feel pretty short.
Though, I did know that it was because I had been going through them at a quick pace.
I couldn’t help myself.
I was having that much fun.

Wait, it was too early to talk like it was all over.
I still had a trial left.
For most plants, winter was a season of death.
Perhaps there would be something there that would cause my head plants to wilt.

“I can’t let my guard down…!”

I muttered to myself.
And then I opened the white Winter door.
