Can someone in MyGo stay in an adventure group forever?

Page 32

I happen to have dark vision!

The black-clad figure, moving silently like a venomous snake, searching for its next opportunity, was instantly revealed to him.

Got you!

Koshimura flicked his wrist.

"Zheng——!"

The guitar sword emitted a hum, and a blazing orange-red flame suddenly rose from the blade!

The raging flames instantly dispelled the darkness within several meters around him, revealing Yue Cunze's profile and illuminating the distorted face of the man in black in the shadows ahead.

At times like these, Koshimura Sawa could feel how terrible it was that the sorcerer's limited number of known spell slots was.

If there were a spell like the Undying Flame, would we need to play whack-a-mole with him here?

"too slow!"

The man in black grinned maliciously, no longer hiding, and his figure shot out from the shadows.

The twin maces tore through the air, carrying a heavy wind pressure, moving up and down, aiming directly at Koshimura's head and chest, even faster than before!

There is no way to avoid it.

A cold glint flashed in Yuecunze's eyes as he lightly touched the strings of his zither.

A transparent force field condensed around him.

Gripping the burning guitar sword tightly, he advanced instead of retreating, swinging forward with all his might.

As the double maces swung towards him, the swords also drew out a brilliant streak of fire, pointing directly at the side of the man in black.

Trade injury for injury!

however--

The blades dramatically missed each other by an inch.

"Too bad—you missed!" The man's smile grew even more arrogant.

The double maces crashed down with a deathly whistling sound, shattering the shield on his body without any resistance, only to be met with the calm eyes of Koshimura Sawa.

"Really?" he said suddenly.

Just as the blade missed the man in black, Koshimura Sawa slightly flipped his wrist.

Embedded on the side of the sword is a small silver crystal, no bigger than a fingernail.

Then light appeared.

It tore through the deep darkness, rose slowly, and streaked across the sky.

—It hit the man's eyes.

It is the entity itself.

Upon hearing the muffled thud of the impact, Koshimura Sawa quickly made a judgment.

"Toyokawa——"

The words have not yet fallen.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In response, five magical missiles, trailing dazzling contrails, swept past him, delivering a crucial blow to the hands of the man in black who was clutching his eyes in pain.

However, this is just the beginning.

The girl's fingers flew across the piano keys, tracing graceful paths. The metal arm did not become an obstacle, but rather an aid, each strike accompanied by a powerful surge of magical energy.

The spells poured down like a torrential downpour.

[Mayouf's Acid Arrow], [Frozen Ray], [Colorful Sphere], [Mind Wedge], [Thunder Wave], [Frostbite] —

Koshimura was so dizzy from the flash that he couldn't help but raise his arm to shield his eyes.

Sorry, I spoke a bit loudly just now. Actually, the mage is the strongest class in D&D. I've been playing a mage since 3R.

Faced with the overwhelming spells, the figure in black once again sank into the frantically writhing shadows beneath his feet, like ink merging into water. The aftershocks of the spells left a crater several inches deep behind him.

However, just as he leaped again, using the shadows to his advantage, attempting a surprise attack from behind Toyokawa Shoko, and managed to salvage the situation—

What awaited him was the biting cold that had been waiting for him all along!

【Ice Blade Technique】.

Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have already predicted his landing point.

A frost-forged blade appeared out of nowhere above the shadow where the man in black was about to emerge, piercing through his chest—and then exploded with a bang.

Countless sharp ice crystal shards shot wildly from inside the man in black's chest cavity, and a ring of ice flowers formed from frozen hot blood suddenly bloomed on his chest.

"Damn it—" The man in black gripped the half-ice blade still embedded in his chest tightly, and with all his might pulled it out, bringing with it a large clump of flesh mixed with ice shards and blood.

"They're just two brats... How could this be... How could this be—"

His figure flashed again, this time not relying on shadows, but solely on pure speed!

The wind whipped up Toyokawa Shoko's long blue hair, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on her delicate, dust-covered face.

The next moment, the steel mace rapidly magnified in her eyes.

not good!

Koshimura felt a chill run down his spine, and alarm bells instantly went off in his mind.

As a mage of the Time School, even if he were killed instantly without realizing it, as long as Toyokawa Shoko is still alive, there is still room for error.

But if Toyokawa Shoko, the spellcaster, dies, there will be no way to bring her back.

The steel mace, accompanied by a fierce wind, whistled and pierced the eardrums, and the distance between it and Toyokawa Shoko was constantly closing.

The dark alley, the cold walls, the pervasive smell of blood and burnt flesh, the girl's desperate face... all the scenes flashed before his eyes in slow motion.

It was just a few unpleasant encounters.

But for those from another world, who witnessed her laughter, pain, and sorrow.

Koshimura Sawa witnessed everything that happened to her.

This stubborn man stayed by his father's side after he was kicked out of the house and drank heavily all day. He made a living by working in customer service and ate dry bread every day.

The girl I once loved hopelessly—

He was about to die in front of himself.

A bone-chilling cold suddenly spread throughout my body.

Do something, Koshimura Sawa!

Do something—

Now that things have come to this, are you still hesitating?

what?

Koshimura's movements paused for a moment.

【You've found the way, Koshimura Sawa】

What the hell are you talking about?!

Abandon your principles, abandon your morals, abandon everything, and go to Yuecunze.

Haven't you thought of a solution?

Wait, could it be——

Koshimura's pupils suddenly contracted.

As someone who is all alone, I am no longer afraid of losing even a piece of driftwood; my bottom line will no longer be an obstacle.

[This is one of them.]

As someone who pursues strength, I already possess the resolve to place the rabbit's head above reason and emotion; morality cannot slow my progress.

This is the second one.

As a person of purity, all obstacles will become fuel for revenge, ensuring that the raging fire never ceases.

This is the third one.

Memories suddenly flooded back like a tidal wave.

"Ze, why didn't you bring Silver Light Sharp Words? You're the only poet in our group this time."

"what is that?"

Years later, as he faces the firing squad, Koshimura will remember that distant afternoon when his senior from the board game club introduced him to Silver Rain.

"This time, our group will open level 3 cards, open all expansions, and ban Silverlight Sharp Words."

Not recognized by the world, not acknowledged by the public.

"Yuecunze, do you have any shame? I'll throw a dozen of your silver coins at you once. If you don't want to play, then leave the group."

Only those who have abandoned everything are qualified to use that forbidden magic.

"You said you activated the Syridan expansion, right?"

— Generation after generation of D&D players have ultimately chosen the path of Silverlight and Sharp Words.

【Silverlight Barbs】

[One Ring of Deception]

[Casting Time: 1 reaction, when a creature within 60 feet of you and in sight successfully makes an attack roll, an attribute roll, or a saving throw]

[Casting Range: 60 feet]

[Duration: Immediate]

You magically distract the triggering creature, turning its brief hesitation into encouragement from another creature. The triggering creature must re-throw the d20 and choose the lower result.

You can then choose a different creature within the range (this could be yourself). The chosen creature gains an advantage on its first attack roll, attribute roll, or saving throw for the next minute. A creature can only have this buff once at a time.

Koshimura's body trembled uncontrollably.

The guitar sword in his hand seemed to have become incredibly heavy, and the burning flames had long since been extinguished.

Ignoring the scorching hot strings from the flames, he gently placed his fingers on them.

【Use the Silver Light Sharp Words on him, Koshimura Sawa.】

Ok.

--next moment.

Silver light flashed.

The attack that the man in black was supposed to be a sure thing missed inexplicably.

He was greeted by a sword that came up behind him with the sound of wind breaking through the air, carrying the power of a curse.

Yes.

Your attack will inevitably fail—

Turn it into my advantage!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Holy crap, Chu Hua?

The blade severs the flesh, the curse corrodes the soul.

The guitar-shaped sword pierced the man in black's body without any resistance, then emerged from his chest.

The invisible power of the curse surged wildly into his wound, like a maggot clinging to his bone, destroying his body from the inside out and eroding the last remaining vestige of life.

Fortunately, the opponent was a skill-based ranger...

If it were a tough, thick-skinned bear, their combined attacks probably wouldn't even be able to break through its defense.

Dazzling stardust erupted from the shattered crystals once more, bombarding the man in black.
