Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

164. Mosaic War (3)

That night

I was sitting on a chair in my room, contemplating.

‘This mission…’

He sighed.

The 36th floor itself ended in one trivial battle, but there were several things that could not be seen.

In deep fatigue, I decided to gather information one by one.

‘first.’

battlefield situation.

Church forces and forces on the other side are fighting.

I decided to name the troops on the other side ‘Lion Army’. Because their military flag had a lion with a sword in its mouth. anyway.

‘It’s ridiculously disadvantageous.’

The number and training of troops.

Efficiency of Formations Commander’s Skills The quality and quantity of asymmetric forces, including mages and cavalry. The morale of the entire legion dressed up in gear. There was not a single dominant part.

Everything was a red flag.

If the chance is 4 times, a similar situation will be repeated 4 times, and if the purpose is not achieved within that time, it must mean that the mission is a failure.

A mission in which similar situations are repeated and objectives are achieved.

This is called a loop. It was a type that was notorious for its high difficulty level.

Unlike other missions, many opportunities are given, but the difficulty of achieving it is ignorant.

‘I’m not sure.’

It may not be a loop.

What I saw was only a small portion of the field.

The raid on the 37th floor will probably start tomorrow.

I had to get a definitive answer there.

If my guess is correct, I needed preparations for a smooth attack.

I won’t be able to sleep tonight I got up from my chair with a bitter smile.

The next evening

[1st Party Haaaaaaaaap!]

Isel’s loud voice shook the entire hall.

I don’t know how long I can hear that voice. After preparing for battle, I went down to the plaza on the first floor.

“You mean the bitch might not be dead?”

On the benches in the plaza, members of Party 1 were waiting in advance.

Jenna answered Belquist’s question.

“Yes, I think so. It’s strange. I went through all kinds of hardships because of the princess, but if it ends here, isn’t it futile? Besides, time and space don’t seem to have much meaning in missions.”

“Then…”

“Go back to when you were alive and start over! Wouldn’t it be…?”

“I feel the same way. I can’t die that easily.”

A heated discussion was taking place between the members.

I smiled and walked away. Kishasha, who had been squatting, alienated from the discussion, approached me.

“one!”

“Why are you alone?”

“Aren’t they talking about something you don’t understand?”

“You don’t even care.”

I lightly stroked Kishasha’s hair and intervened.

“Begin again.”

“Brother! Are you here? Hmmmm, I thought of something amazing…!”

swish

I took something out of my pocket and threw it.

Receiving the item, Jenna blinked.

“What is this?”

“It’s a pocket watch. It’s an expensive item, so don’t lose it.”

“clock?”

This is what I asked Amkena for in the gift shop.

The purchase cost is 100,000 gold and low-level magic parts. As it was an expensive item, Amkena hesitated, but couldn’t refuse my request.

“It’s portable. You’ll use it on a mission, so keep it safe.”

I muttered and looked at the gate in front of the plaza.

A faint light leaked from inside the space-time gap.

You have a few minutes to spare before entering.

“Go back to when you were alive and start over. Well done.”

“It’s thanks to what I learned in Niflheim, well.”

Jenna scratched her head shyly.

My head is working fine too. I spoke.

“There is a high probability that what you said is correct.”

“Then brother, what shall we do?”

“I’ll have to look at it again. How things are going. So you prepared a watch. Everyone gather around. I’ll explain briefly.”

The members huddled together near me.

I spread a 1m wide piece of white paper on the floor. On the paper, there was a map of the field we went through yesterday. central battlefield. And the hills and highlands spread out wide as if to surround it.

“It is here that we were summoned.”

I pointed south of the field.

Hills and plains were expressed as contour lines, and roads were drawn across the battlefield.

In the middle of the southern road, the letter A was written with a red pen. It was the place where the battle with the church’s supply unit took place.

“It’s all black except for the middle and bottom. What do you mean?”

“You can’t tell just by looking at it. It’s a place we haven’t been to. If the same field comes out this time, we’ll have to fill in the map. Perfectly.

If you’re right, the most important thing is, of course, information.”

The plain field on the 36th floor was extremely wide.

Excluding the center, we knew about a quarter at most.

Excluding the south, where we were summoned, all areas were unknown. No, even the South didn’t look properly. It was because after dealing with the supply unit, he had focused only on the battlefield.

‘I can’t enter the battlefield.’

Because it is blocked by a transparent wall.

If the mission type of the 40th floor section is repetitive and the survival of Freea and the purpose of the mission are connected, there must be a way to enter the battlefield somewhere.

[Over there…]

Isel is sweating at the entrance of the space-time gap.

Looks pretty laggy. When I winked, Isel couldn’t help but cry.

[Delivering command.]

[Now Loading….]

Sorry, but be patient.

limited opportunity. I couldn’t get past it without an explanation.

I gave the party members the plan for ten minutes. We were able to enter the space-time rift only when Isel was weeping.

[The current number of challenging floors in the main dungeon is 37.]

[The door will open in 10 seconds. Get ready!]

‘The 37th floor.’

As I expected, Amkenna chose to climb the 37th floor.

Well, if I had sent it to a distant place, I would have been agitated to go up.

At the same time as the summoning signal came, I looked at the members.

Pod!

A floating feeling swept through his body.

A gust of wind permeates the nape of your neck. The familiar scent of grass crossed the tip of his nose.

[Floor 37.]

[Mission Type – Unknown]

[Objective – Unknown.]

The mission goal window is unfriendly.

I exhaled slowly. The field of view widened. Grass and rocks and hills.

It was the same field as the 36th floor. and.

“It smells of blood and iron.”

Kishasha sniffed.

“This is…”

“Yes.”

I laughed.

“You’re back for the first time.”

Climb up the hill to the north, and the battlefield will be reflected in your eyes.

it’s going to be the same The Church Army pushes the Lion Army with an overwhelming advantage. And after a while, Fria dies under the same circumstances. And the mission is completed.

‘If all opportunities are lost.’

The floor falls back or becomes stagnant.

One thing is certain

: ‘There is no way we will be safe either.’

“Start.”

“Old write! I’ll go first!”

Jenna saluted me and ran to the hills to the north.

His role is simple. Knowing the time limit of the mission. In other words, it is to check how long you can endure from start to finish. He gave me a pocket watch for that.

‘accurately.’

Time limits are measured in seconds.

It also records all the events on the battlefield during observation.

So that it can be used as a milestone to measure the divergence point. At least Jenna won’t engage in combat this time around.

‘next.’

“Please.”

“Just trust me. We’re not a gale for nothing.”

Kishasha smiled and bared her fangs.

Kishasha fell down and ran across the plain like a beast galloping.

It will conduct reconnaissance by circling the field counter-clockwise. In this episode, Kishasha was also out.

[…]

Katio closes his eyes.

He held a rainbow-colored stone in his hand, and waves of blue-colored magic spread through his entire body.

‘Even this guy…’

can’t write.

It was because he was synchronizing the sights of Jenna and Kishasha.

The scene the two of them saw will be preserved in the magic stone as video data.

“There are only two left.”

“that’s enough.”

“Of course.”

Belquist laughed silently and drew his sword.

I smiled and untied the string of the scabbard. There was a procession of wagons loaded with supplies in front.

“Hey, didn’t you hear something strange just now?”

“Sound? I don’t know what you mean.”

“Well, you know. A rat rustling…”

Sugak!

The heads of the two soldiers who were wandering around were blown at the same time.

Before the blood spurted from my neck even dripped to the floor, I spun my sword and jumped at the head of the carriage.

“What are you!”

Belquist jumped up and punched a hole through the chest of the soldier in front.

soaring blood. I don’t have time to hang out with these guys.

I ran with my sword drawn.

“Aww!”

“Sa, save… It’s a monster!”

“Innomd! I, the Silver Paladin who acts on behalf of the goddess’ wrath! Kyle von Strauss…!”

About ten minutes later,

countless corpses were scattered on the floor.

I shook off the greatsword, which was sticky with dark red blood, and turned my back.

Blue potion leaked out from under the wrecked wagon.

‘If you deal with this supply route…’

The magic bombardment of the church forces is cut off.

That is, to spend free time.

“Hurry up.”

“I know.”

Without even breathing, we continued to run.

to the next area. I went west over the hill.

‘Amkena has something prepared.’

I snapped my fingers.

[Master ‘Han(★★★)’ requests a mount call!]

[Are you sure you accept? A ‘Summoning Stone’ is required for summoning.]

[Yes (selection) / No]

[Slide the screen!]

[Give wings to the Master’s hero!]

[Bling!]

[Summon ‘Gandalf ( )’ to the battlefield. I do!]

[Summon ‘Saruman( )’ to the battlefield!]

Flash.

A summoning door opened from the side, and two sturdy horses appeared on the plain.

gray and white horses respectively. When I was fighting the Unity Society, Amkena prepared in advance that I trained the horse I had captured in the dungeon every day at the stable.

“Hee hee hee!”

I got on Gandalf.

As soon as the spur was applied, the horse bellowed and began galloping across the plain.

Belquist was following behind, riding Saruman.

“Belquist!”

“what?”

“You exit to the left. Find out the boundary of the field!”

“Okay. Be careful!”

Belquist turned his head.

After a while, the figure of Belquist moved away along with the horse.

‘The field is wider than I thought.’

I summoned a horse in case I didn’t know, but it seems to be the correct answer.

I grabbed the reins and kicked Gandalf’s side.

“Hee-hee-eeing!” I

ran with the horse across the plain and raised my hand to my ear.

“Katio, what’s the communication line?

” It’s finished. I’ll relay it now!]

“Connect Kishasha.”

The left side of the field of view blurs, and a video comes to mind.

The image of Kishasha galloping across the plains. However, strange figures riding black horses are following behind them.

[ Black Knight Lv.41] X 13

I crinkled my forehead.

The Black Knight. They broke into the rear of the troops and ruined the formation.

They were chasing her at a speed comparable to Kishasha.

“Kishasha.”

[ It’s Han. These guys smell unpleasant.]

“Where did you come from?”

[Hey.]

Kishasha gestured to the right. A

black fort was perched on top of a red rock hill.

‘…That’s it.’

A suspicious aura emanated from the entire citadel.

Through the slightly open door, a peach-colored stone statue was peeped in.

It was immediately apparent. It was the most important object of the mission, the Goddess

Statue. ]

“That’s at least two. Can you get away with it?”

[Of course!]

I let go of my hand and the video disappeared.

I leave the right side of the field to Kishasha. I had to look to the left.

Gandalf carrying me was crossing the west side of the plain

. Not long after, I found a second spot.

In the distance, a group of hundreds of people were walking in the direction of the battlefield. I

activated my mind’s eye, and I could see their outfits. They were clad in steel armor and were wearing longbow quivers.

‘Archers’ is it.’

Elite archers.

If we wipe them out, we will be able to delay the annihilation of the Lion Army even further. Gradually

, the estimate of the mission began to be captured.

‘There is a delay point on the left and a fortress with objects on the right.’

If so.

‘Simultaneous attack on both sides.’

When putting together the information so far,

‘…it’s the worst.’

I bit my lip.

It was the highest level of difficulty among the loops.

Time is limited, troops must be divided unconditionally, and there are enemies pursuing us with not one or two points to occupy. ‘

Is this also your intention?’

Did you make the game difficulty like this because you wanted to fuck me?

It doesn’t matter. I shaved my head. No matter

what mission comes out, I just break through and smash it.

‘I said I touched the wrong person.’

I held the reins tight.

Gandalf, waving his mane, approached the archers,

but between the archers and me there was an endless

cliff

.

I spurred the horse once again.

There is no time to play. Break through the bridge at once and go to the archers.

Run from west to north and join Kishasha. This was the final goal of the second round.

Pak !

!”

Gandalf let out a mournful scream and collapsed.

I was running at dozens of kilometers per hour. I fell as if I was flying off the saddle. I quickly balance in the air and land while scraping the dirt. [‘Gandalf (

) ‘ has been reverse summoned!]

‘What is it?’

After a while, I figured out the cause.

I brushed off the dirt from the armor and looked across the stone bridge.

On the other side of the cliff, by the stone bridge, there was someone standing. A

dark feather hat decorated with black clothes with wide sleeves.

Face covered. The masked man lifted the longbow

[Danger!]

[Magic bullet shooter Lv.?]
