Shatei Kyokufuri Yumi-Ojisan

ne…that is.

“Thunder claws that shred the sky… Raijin Zekku!”

After being surprised by the attack, the player stuck his head out from behind the rocks, and then it went flying into the air.
Necoco was good at sneaking up behind people and cutting off their heads.
But she had polished this skill even more, and she was now so fast that I couldn’t even see her claws move.
It really was just like thunder…!

“Uniting heart and body with the Unison…Unison Maestro.”

Satomi had chosen a staff with a ring on it as his new weapon.
It was often used by monks.
He too attacked the enemy and showed off how coordinated he and Gochu were.
I felt rather bad for the players who were surprised by the ambush, and were then subject to such smooth attacks.

“Advance guards should fight each other!”

Anne said as she threw her metal spiked ball at the heavily armored player.
He seemed to be the party leader, and even when his team mates were dead, he remained calm and attacked with precision.
And his shield looked like a rare item….
No matter how many times he blocked Anne’s metal ball, it would not get damaged.
Normally, it would have made the most sense for Satomi and Gochu to fight him with magic attacks, but Anne had acquired a new power!

“Sticky Star!”

The iron ball stuck to the shield!
Anne then pulled it back, and tore the shield out of the player’s grasp.

“Su-such a thing is possible?!”

“Sorry about it! I can be very tenacious!”

She swung the iron ball again and this time hit the player with it.
And then Anne…began to swing it while the player was still attached to it!

“If you get dizzy easily, you might as well give up now!”

“I…give…up…!”

The player said as he turned into particles of light and then vanished.
The party was annihilated…!

“Ah, that went better than I expected.”

“I was so nervous that they would notice us before we could ambush them…”

“I’m still not used to being the first one to attack.”

“I hope that guy isn’t throwing up now…”

Well, it seemed like everyone was nervous for the first fight.
Boosted stats, new skills and gear, a plan we agreed upon… All of that would bring us closer to victory, but it wasn’t a guarantee.
And so when we did win, the joy was enough to make us shake.

This fight had been over in an instant.
We defeated them before they even had a chance to respond.
It was the ideal way to do things…!
If we could continue like this, we could win.

“Now, let’s head to our destination.
It’s not safe here.”

We started to move while leaving some space between us, and looking in different directions.
There were thousands of enemies…so perhaps there was no such thing as a safe place.
And so we had to go.
To that tower, which was probably the reason that the Ghost Guild was born.
