Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 329.2: Yggdra ⑤

I breathe a sigh of relief at the fact that there aren't any Monsters bigger than the Star-Eater Centipede. The chances of a Guide dying are the highest when they encounter a being of a higher rank than the Monster they are leading. It is at that time that the true worth of a Guide is put to the test.

Then, Adler suddenly turned her gaze to Uno. I have a bad feeling about her quietly shining eyes. Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) seems to be pushed around a lot, but Uno and the others are also pushed around a lot by Adler.

However, the other side can use offensive Magic. So there is no point in increasing the number of halfling soldiers, huhUno, you said earlier that Mana Materials is pouring in from the other side, right? (Adler)

I did say that Don't tell me (Uno)

Adler narrows her eyes and says to Uno, whose cheeks are involuntarily twitching. No one can stop Adler when she looks like this.

I don't know what's out there, but if there's the source of Mana Materials, that means that's where the strongest Monsters are, right? It's perfect if we head there while building up our strength. (Adler)

Her words are full of confidence. Certainly, she has a point, but that is only if everything goes according to the plan. It is too dangerous. I roughly understand the strength of the monsters in the Drifting Road of the Divine Tree. And so far, no one can match the Star-Eater, but we don't know what will happen if we go deeper. Even if no Monster stronger than Yuden appeared, whether Uno and the others would be safe after those fierce battles is another story.

In the first place, it is uncertain whether it is possible to stay sober in the middle of this concentration of Mana Materials. There is a good chance that we would be hit by the Mana Materials and be unable to move during the course of the trip. Just thinking about it for a moment, many concerns popped into my mind.

However, Adler said that while understanding all this.

It can't be helped, if Adler says so, let's do it. In any case, now that I've seen the Monsters here, I can't bring myself to go outside and collect weak Monsters. (Quint)

Quint, who has been saying the opposite earlier, sighs and draws the sword at his waist. I guess he intends to fight alongside Zork, his servant. Quint is the type of Guide who gained the Monsters' trust by showing his back.

As long as those two are willing to, there is nothing Uno can do to block their tracks. Uno's Monsters' ability is extremely powerful, but they are not suitable for combat, and it is impossible to use them continuously.

If anything happens, we'll run away right away, okaaaay? We can't afford to be wiped out in a place like thiiis. (Uno)

I know, Uno. I know that the Star-Eater can fight well here. We still have enough supplies. Let's eat up all the Monsters and show that man who so blatantly looks down on us what we can do. (Adler)

In this era where Treasure Hunters are active, Treasure Shrines are something that attracts attention.

Research on Treasure Shrines and Relics is being conducted in many countries around the world, and the Explorer Association is often asked to conduct surveys in them. As a result, although there are still many mysteries and irregularities, the current Explorers Association has become able to derive general trends from the general characteristics of a Treasure Shrine.

The difficulty level of a Treasure Shrine can be roughly estimated from its appearance. And among all the Treasure Shrines, the one that is considered the most dangerous is.

That is definitely a Temple-type Treasure Shrine. The power of the Mana Materials is at this level, so I expected it, butThe information being passed on by Yggdra is credible. (Eliza)

Eliza, who went to do a recon on the Treasure Shrine in the morning and returned, says with a tired look on her face.

Temple-type Treasure Shrine. It has few gimmicks, but it is a Treasure Shrine known for creating one of the strongest types of Phantoms. It is also a high-ranking type of Treasure Shrine like a Castle-type Treasure Shrine, but what it differs from a Castle-type is that the Phantom that appears as the boss has power that is close to that of a god, and that the Treasure Shrine will collapse when the boss is defeated.

In most cases, the capture of a Temple-type Treasure Shrine is a historic accomplishment. The Treasure Shrine that was once conquered by the Rodin family, and the reason which led to that family being called the bloodline of the heroThe Star Temple is also a Temple-type, and the Holy King's Hall, which was conquered by Exceed Sequence, a Level 10 Hunter who is now called one of the strongest Hunters, is also one of the Temple-type Treasure Shrine.

Of course, there seems to be a wide range of Temple-type ones, but this is not a Treasure Shrine that can be easily completed by the Members of Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei).

Liz, who came with Eliza, frowns and says with a serious expression.

It seems that a significant number of Phantoms have already manifested, and well, it's tough Yeah. It's pretty much impossible, so it might be the perfect target for the next raid for Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)! (Liz)

I see By the way, the one I have asked to do a recon is Eliza, you know? (Cry)

Maybe her nature as a Thief was itching her, but I wish you would stop casually accompanying her.

Eh, it's too dangerous for Eliza-chan to be alone and since I left the main part to Eliza-chan, there's no problem, right? Because I'm just her escort! (Liz)

Un, un, that's right By the way, what the hell happened with Tino in the back who looks like she is about to die.

When it comes to Treasure Shrines, Liz and the others are professionals among professionals. Even in Zebrudia, no one has conquered a High-Level Treasure Shrine as well as they have. They have a wealth of knowledge and experience, so their assessments are trustworthy. With a high fighting spirit and self-confidence, Liz will not say that it is impossible if there is even the slightest chance of being able to capture it, so she must have found the Temple of Origin to be a very dangerous Treasure Shrine just by looking at it for a moment.

Eliza sighs deeply and says.

We don't have to go all the way to the back to lift the curse. Luke can be cured even near the entrance. All we need is for Serene to receive the power emitted by the World Tree. (Eliza)

Welp, can't be helped. If we leave Luke-chan out and conquer a Temple-type Treasure Shrine, Luke-chan is gonna sully later (Liz)

! Un, un, that's right. (Cry)

Aaaah, so it is okay if she is near the entrance Thank god. If it is like this, it seems that it will work out.

Liz seems to be convinced too, so all that is left is the timing of it. Unexpectedly, it will be going well without a hitch, maybe?

Sytry, who has shrewdly asked Serene for permission to browse Yggdra's book collection, says while looking at a book.

Once Luke-san's petrification is lifted, we have to do something about the Treasure Shrine next This is my first time with a Temple-type Treasure Shrine, but if the legend is true, then even before its power accumulates, the source of the Treasure ShrineThe sleeping god should exist in the deepest part of it If we can do something about it, the power will dissipate and the Treasure Shrine will disappear. If it was a normal Treasure Shrine, it would have been difficult to destroy it, but it is fortunate that it is a Temple-type one. (Sytry)

Is that something that can be easily dealt with? (Cry)

As far as I know, there are no successful examples. It seems that the sleeping god is a mass of unstable energy. Even if it is before its awakening, a god is still a god, so if we attack it carelessly, a radius of hundreds of kilometers will be burned to ashes. However, if the world can be protected with a small sacrifice, then maybe we should do itThat's right! When you think about it, that means Cry-san will be the first one to succeed! (Sytry)

Isn't that idea crazy?

And there, I blink my eyes.

No, wait a sec? I would like to say that if there are no successful examples, it shouldn't be done, but a radius of hundreds of kilometers being burned to ashes, huh Normally, it should be something fearful, but could it be that a Barrier Ring can withstand it? If it is a Barrier Ring, I have enough stock for Liz and the others, so even if it is just a little, I feel like I am starting to see hope.

Well, if it doesn't work, let's leave it to the next generation.

Kuu So Serene said she wants you to decide when to do it. (Eliza)

When to do it, huh. She is a Spirit People of standing. It doesn't seem to be a big ceremony, but there are probably preparations to do.

There is still some time before Luke is completely turned to stone. If possible, I would like to carry out the operation when there are few Phantoms.

How many Phantoms did you see today? (Cry)

Eliza is silent for a while as I timidly check with her, but then answers with a heavy voice.

Near the entrance, there are about 300 mysterious Magic Beasts that I have never seen before. However, there is still an unidentifiable presence from inside the Treasure Shrine. The chances of being able to fight them head-on and lift the curse are Probably a little less than 50%. (Eliza)

50%, huh Should we be happy that we still have 50% of being successful?

However, I am the kind of guy who runs into trouble at every request that seems to be non-problematic.

Liz, Sytry, Lucia, Tino, and Anthem are all waiting for my answer. It is the Leader's role to make decisions at times like this. I glanced at the statue of Luke enshrined in a corner of the room and said with a badass smile.

We will wait for the right time. Now is not the time. (Cry)

I am sorry for Luke, but I can't deal with 300 mysterious Monsters. Until the best time to do it comes, I will need you to wait a little longer as a stone.

Thanks for reading! Hmmm Adler going to the deeper part and Cry waiting for the number of Phantom to decrease A coincidence? I THINK NOT!
