36. Mission Type, Defense (1)
evening the next day.
All the members of the 1st and 2nd parties were gathered in the square.
Me, Jenna, Aaron, Iolka, and Shurn who joined last.
Edith, Roderick, d!cka, Usher, and an unknown person.
“you.”
“yes!”
A young man with short hair replied.
Age is good, early 20’s. He is tall, but his body is skinny. He is a typical anchovy statue.
“When the battle begins, stay in a suitable place.”
“yes?”
“You can come with me if you want to die.”
“Ha, but…”
The level is 3. The skill is only 1 level lower level swordsmanship. If there was, it was obvious that it would only get in the way.
“I can fight too!”
“I see.”
“Why are you beating me like this. We’re colleagues.”
“I didn’t scold you.”
It was too late to join.
If only a week had been given, I could somehow make him take charge of one axis.
It’s not a good thing to fill the number of people unconditionally.
The question was whether or not I could serve one person at the party. If that doesn’t happen, I’d rather be a worse existence than not having it.
“By the way, what the hell are we doing here? Isn’t that what the elf called?”
“Don’t ask, I’ll call you soon.”
“You again! You act like you know everything from one to ten.”
I looked up at the sky.
It is shining white. Amkena, who logged on about 30 minutes ago, was watching the waiting room without giving any orders.
‘I’m worried.’
Do you want to challenge the 10th floor or take a little more time.
There are no imperfect aspects. The last member couldn’t adapt to the party, and I was at 10, the limit of 1 star, but I couldn’t get promoted.
It’s good if my predictions are wrong.
If you fold it altogether, things will get a little bigger, but if you leave it alone for a week, you can upgrade your skills by the limit of 1 star. It would be nice to go after one study. I can take on the 10th floor challenge in a better situation than now.
However, the tendency of amkena that I have seen so far is not like that.
I’ll be angry if we’re annihilated or smashed anyway, but to the Master, it’s just a game anyway. Heroes can be drawn again and raised again.
reality for us,
This is not reality for the Master.
Finally, Amkena’s control panel moved.
Isel appeared and spun around the square.
[Ohh! Everyone is gathered! It’s good that I don’t have to raise my voice like this. 1 party!]
“okay.”
[Party 2!]
“there is.”
[Open, the opening of time and space!]
rattle.
The gate in front of the plaza was wide open.
Tension flashed in people’s eyes. I didn’t brag much, but rumors had already spread about what had happened on the 5th floor.
“Deep breath. Deep breath. Let’s not be nervous. We can do it.”
Jenna was catching her breath with her hands on her chest.
because of this guy
[※caution!]
[This mission is a medium-sized mission requiring two parties. If the party is not enough, use paid summons or free summons to recruit heroes!]
[Tips/Using the ‘Tactics Center’, an annex of the space-time rift, you can give tactical instructions to heroes on missions.]
‘It’s a tactical post.’
You won’t even know how to use it.
It’s a pretty complex system for beginners.
“Wait before that. Isel!”
[huh!]
“Tell them to bring some items they made in the warehouse.”
Issel nodded and quickly disappeared.
A message soon surfaced.
[Master, there are unused consumables in the warehouse. Carry it to your hero. Consumables will be used by the hero himself when appropriate.]
[Tips/Consumables can be crafted in the Alchemy or Magic Hall. Materials can be gathered from daily dungeons. One of the shortcuts to victory, consumables! It’s a shortcut to becoming a pick me up master, right?]
[Moaning!]
Issel pulled the cart out of the warehouse.
The cart contains potions and various items I made recently.
[Have ‘Han(★)’ carry the ‘Low Life Potion’!]
Issel threw a vial of red liquid at me. I got it and put it on my belt loop.

[Carry ‘Low Life Potion’ to ‘Jenna(★)’!]
[To ‘Aaron(★)’… … .]
[To ‘Edith(★★★)’… … .]
There are 6 life potions in total.
It’s perfect if you share 3 per party.
The magic potion is exclusive to Iolka.
Iolka shook the vial, which was dripping with blue liquid.
“This is an expensive item. Where did you get it?”
“Don’t tell me. I’m hurt.”
Iolka clicked her tongue and poured the magic potion into the cloth.
It looks like there’s room for some storage.
I asked Edith.
“Are you ready?”
“it’s over.”
“A will?”
“If you’re kidding, that’s too much.”
Edith smiled and moved to the space-time gap.
Deca and Usher bowed to me and went after Edith, while Roderick and one of the others went inside.
The gap of space-time was not closed.
It is waiting for our position.
“The time has come, brother.”
“Sometimes.
“I’ll only trust you. Just like on the 5th floor!”
“Don’t burden me.”
I made sure the potion on my belt was properly fixed and then walked into the space-time rift.
Four people followed suit, each with a different expression.
The mirror on the left of the space-time gap caught my eye.
[Climb the tower, save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current number of floors to climb – 9]
After confirming that all 10 people had entered, I said.
“Edith.”
“huh.”
“We could fall into different places. In that case, we need to join as soon as possible.”
“Join… how?”
“Come to the center unconditionally. If you don’t know where it is, go up high and look for it.”
Edith nodded.
Lastly, Isel flew away, closing the space-time gap. Issel snorted and put her hands on her hips.
[you! Don’t let Han get in your way. I’ll be watching closely!]
“Don’t look.”
[Gee, really?]
“really.”
[but… … .]
Issel’s expression was so goofy that I burst out laughing.
“Don’t worry. The tower will let me go up.”
[Ah Okay. go for it! Don’t die without my permission!]
Isel clenched his fists in front of me and turned into light and disappeared.
“What is your true identity that makes you so obedient to that cheeky fairy? Is it a secret again?”
“however?”
“Kuk!”
I lowered my voice and spoke to Edith.
“Edith. Join first. Come to the center wherever the map is.”
“okay.”
“We… go in and talk.”
The mirror on the left gradually began to glow.
The light slowly wavered and swallowed the entire space-time gap.
I gave myself to the light and closed my eyes.
I opened my eyes.
The light gradually faded, revealing the surrounding scenery.
A sobbing voice came from within.
“We’re all going to die. We’re all going to die.”
Right in front of me, a man was squatting and muttering.
“We can’t win. We’ll all die. Children, women! Everyone! We’re here…”
I kicked the man in the back.
The man nodded and rolled on the floor.
I hurriedly got up and looked in my direction.
“Who, who! Who is there? A ghost? A ghost!”
I’m right in front, but the man fumbled in front of me with his hand.
Jenna came over.
“Oh, this old man…”
“I don’t think we can see.”
I remembered the tutorial stage. People running outside the field. I tried to talk to them somehow, but they ignored me as if I wasn’t there.
“Hey, can’t you see us? Mister, Mister?”
Jenna waved her hand in front of the man’s eyes, but the man only flinched.
‘Is it an NPC.’
I looked around.
Rows of boulevards and brick-built houses. People crouching with terrified faces. Soldiers dressed in armor and weapons crossed the streets as if they were busy. They showed no interest in our sudden appearance in the city.
‘… … It’s strange.’
There are quite a few cases where NPCs appear in missions.
I was told that cooperation was not going well for some reason, so it was like this.
“Concentrate! Get together!”
At my words, the party members who had been observing all around gathered.
I said with a smile.
“Isn’t this city somehow familiar?”
Iolka and Shurn looked puzzled, but Jenna and Aaron hardened their complexions.
The two people in front weren’t there on the 5th floor, so it was natural.
“Come to think of it, brother, I’ve seen this place before. It looks different, but I’m used to it.”
“That’s right. Because we’ve already been there. This is the ruined city that was the stage for the 5th floor. If there’s a difference…”
After looking around for a while, I continued.
“It’s not ruined yet.”
“Wait a minute, oppa. Then the chronological order is strange. Isn’t it jumbled?”
“Has it been messed up once or twice? Think about trivial things later. The important thing is that we were summoned here, and we have to succeed in our mission to survive.”
“The mission…”
Iolka murmured.
“The mission hasn’t started. There seems to be plenty of room, but it’s better to get information from it. Attention everyone! I’ll give you 5 minutes, so look around as much as you can and come back. We’ll gather at this place in 5 minutes. If you’re late, I’ll throw it away. don’t be late.”
“yes!”
“Iolka, you stay here.”
“Yes? Suddenly what?”
“I mean, don’t strain your strength unnecessarily. You’ll be the main character in this mission.”
“Ah, okay.”
Iolka nodded with a bewildered face.
The four of us, including myself, scattered in their respective directions.
What you need to know is the location and number of enemies, and the current status of allies. state of the battlefield. mission goal.
There was a bell tower nearby. It was the same spot where Jenna had gone up and found the goblins on the fifth floor.
I climbed up the stairs at the entrance.
The place where we were summoned happened to be in the center of the city.
It is unknown where the 2nd party that Edith belongs to has fallen, but it will soon join them.
At the top of the bell tower, a soldier clutched his head and groaned.
“Ugh, ugh…”
I first looked at the sky.
Thick dark clouds hung over it. The air was thick with moisture, and it looked like it would rain at any moment.
Slowly lower your gaze from the sky.
A large forest to the north of the city.
Thousands of green dots wriggled there.
[Goblin Lv.??? X 2213]
I can’t see it precisely because of the distance, but it seems that dozens of ladder trucks are coming.
‘It’s a siege equipment.’
This time I looked east.
The river I saw on the 7th floor was flowing.
[Goblin Lv.??? X 899]
There, too, hundreds of goblins were advancing on the city. However, there is no siege equipment. It seemed that they were about to join in the direction of the northern gate from the east.
Next, we toured the city.
Armed soldiers were waiting in the outer fortress surrounding the city.
[Human Soldier Lv.??? X 353]
‘The power ratio is 10 to 1. No, is it more than that?’
Looking closely at the forest to the north, it seemed that troops were also lurking inside.
“…”
I had expected.
that this would be the situation
I couldn’t help but have a sore throat.
‘Still, if it’s a survival mission.’
The mission content is not completely defined.
If the survival mission that succeeds as long as you hold out for a certain amount of time is activated once more, you can clear the 5th floor much more easily than the 5th floor. There were enough NPCs to throw as bait, and above all, there was a wizard who was the point of defending the area.
I touched the scabbard on my belt.
Party members who had finished scouting were gathering under the bell tower.
I saw Edith’s party advancing to join them in the distance.
And the roulette wheel of fate turns.
[Warning! Warning! Warning!]
It is a triple warning message that means an advanced level of difficulty.
I let out a deep sigh when I saw the contents of the mission that floated below.
[Floor 10.]
[Mission Type – Defense]
[Goal – stop the fall of the city!]
