There are things that should not be fundamentally compared in the first place.
Can humans match the running power of a cheetah?
Is man a match for the power of an elephant?
Can humans match the computational power of AI?
Humans have many species inferior abilities if we choose to compare them.
Therefore, humans can overwhelm others in terms of averages, but not in terms of prominence.
It's such a matter of course now that I'm thinking about it.
What did I want to say?
No way--
"Hey South! Explain in three lines or less how you thought you could win if you competed with the dragon!
Of course I'm complaining about the South.
The premise was wrong to begin with.
It's true that dragons are living creatures...there is a limit to their physical strength and they will eventually reach the bottom.
or even compared to the average strength of our testers.... the dragon's strength must be so great that it's unreasonable to compare it to the strength of humans or even to the average strength of our testers.
Even with their magic-enhanced status, they couldn't surpass that status.
The battle that was fought with a chance of victory was nothing short of harsh.
I could win the game, that I could.
Wouldn't you win in a similar situation?
We won in the image, that's all!
"Not more! You're thinking like a freak!
In addition, your opponent is undead.
We had expected a certain amount of difficulty, but now we are facing a situation that far exceeds our expectations.
"In fact, we had a solid plan of action based on proper data, that we had! But it exceeded that expectation, that it's no use! What is that thing? Immortal, that is! In a losing battle event, that is? I can't do without being dumb, that I can't!
The battle has been going on for several hours now.
We went into this battle with everything we had.
But our colors were far worse.
We still had plenty of energy, but our magic tools were running out and our recovery potions were running low.
"Ha-ha-ha, Sheng-kun, you need to recover.
"Wow, me, too, please-
I'm sorry, let me get some rest.
"Now!
Even if I'm on the front lines of the attack, it's hard to draw them all together.
The fatigue of Kaido, Amelia and Kitamiya, who are in charge of dealing damage, has also been greatly enhanced by this battle.
The prepared Katsu immediately starts the recovery process, but the fatigue and injuries are not immediately recovered.
It's a good idea to be able to have a good time.
"It's someone else's problem! Hey!
Thanks to the technology of magic, you can recover in less than a minute, or even thirty seconds, but you'll need to buy yourself a few ten seconds.
But I'll need to buy those ten or so seconds.
The magical power of the warding device that first formed your tchotchkes has run out, and now my magic shield is your last refuge.
I take a step forward again to cover my comrades who have come around behind me.
The sound of something crashing is still good.
You feel the pressure of the shield being pushed out all at once, but it's still bearable.
You bite into the breath and attack with your tail, taking advantage of the difference in weight and size.
A small variety of moves, but a diversity of movement, a gory power fight that pushes your status to the fore.
He fought for a long time against such an opponent.
Of course the damage should have been accumulating on your opponent.
That wasn't the plan. I thought we could shave off the damage without the leader, that I did not expect her to recover in that way.
Who would have thought that a dragon bone dropped around would be a recovery item?
If a being that is supposed to be nothing more than a wild intelligence called a skull dragon is not equipped with a recovery item .
I thought dragon graveyards were all about creating atmosphere.
In fact, when the skull dragon appeared, it absorbed the bones around it to form its body, leaving the bones behind.
We thought the bones were just scattered bones for mimicry.
But here we are.
You don't seem to think so... and it seems the dragon king was thinking straight.
The bones were also used for mimicry.
I think we should burn the bones around them first.
"How much of a range do you have in mind? Realistically, I don't.
"There aren't many magic potions left, either.
"Hmmm, I wonder if I can use all my magic to get there?
From my calculations, it's impossible, that it is.
I'm starting to feel like I should just pull out!
The attack of the skull dragons will swallow you up in the blink of an eye if you break your concentration even a little.
Trust me, I'm trying to keep my attacks from reaching the resting ones, but there's a limit to how far we can keep defending ourselves.
We don't have enough offensive power to take this thing down.
If we could find the location of the mineral tree, that's where we'd aim.
So it's inevitable that it comes out of your mouth.
Hours have gone by.
of course I looked for a chance to pull the mineral tree out.
But the mineral tree was not where I saw it the other day.
At the base of the tail, I'm sure it was sticking there, but it was gone.
At first I thought it might have slipped somewhere, but that was quickly denied.
Feel the magic of the mineral tree assimilated with your magic.
Feel the magic of the mineral tree assimilated with your own magic.
But its power is faint, just enough to know it's there faintly.
The original plan was to immediately pull out the mineral tree and raise its attack power to kill it.
But we've been brought into an endurance battle.
Where's the south?
"I can't find it, that I can't find it!
You are in a predicament, exposed to dragon violence, but you have no choice but to find a way out of this predicament.
You will be able to find out the location of the mineral tree using search magic, but the investigation is difficult due to the magical power of the skull dragon that has become thicker and thicker.
''What? All hands on deck vs. shock posture!
「「「「「!?」」」」」
Then the third extreme light strikes us.
The chest of the skull dragon glows in seven colors and is released.
This is the fourth time I've been attacked, and I grit my teeth, pouring my magic power into the shield's function of increasing weight and holding on.
But I heard an unpleasant sound from my hand.
South! Shield endurance value is bad! You can't keep going on like this, I can't take it again and again!
Experience tells me that the sound of the shield creaking earlier will be endured by the polar lights this time.
But my gut tells me there won't be a next one.
It might be safe to say that the giant's special shield is the reason it has withstood this long.
I wish it could hold out a little longer, but I'm not complaining.
Immediately tell them behind you that they have very little time left.
.........
But Minami, who always responds cheerfully, gives a pained look.
There's no way to break it.
I can fight, but I can't defeat it.
It's coming out of her.
.........
She was clenching her teeth in frustration as she searched for something to do.
She was saying all sorts of jokes, but somehow she was seriously cooperating in finding my mineral tree.
What can I do to repay that work of the heart?
Do I just have to listen to the instructions and follow them?
Maybe I'm thinking about what I've already determined to be impossible.
But if you don't think, you won't even be able to find the oversight.
Then.
I have to.
You can always give up on your thoughts.
You can always give up on your thoughts.
Have you reached the end of your strength?
No, I'm still fully operational.
Have you tried all the attacks?
No, there are still ways to attack again.
Have you attacked all of your opponent?
No, no, there are still many places that have not guessed.
So, have you considered how to not consider the risks?
"No
The polar light gradually subsides.
Even that residual pressure is quite powerful, but I'm confident that I can withstand it.
I'm confident I can live with it.
I'll regret not finishing it.
I'm supposed to be the kind of person who would rather regret doing it than regret not doing it.
Minami, how far are you prepared to go to strengthen me?
That's why, in this situation, I'm going to calculate the cost of winning.
......... With the current amount of magic, a single leader can carry all the enhancements I can give, that I can. If you want to put all of them on another one, two of them will do.
"Enough.
How much you need to get to that point, raking the elements one by one like puzzle pieces.
What are you going to do?
On the way there, a question comes flying in from the south, but he turns around and answers with a smile, leaving the shield he's holding down in place.
'What? That's a stupid question.
I've always been a bit of a gamble.
It's still too early to cling to the jinx that you're taking advantage of it because it broke the ice.
I'll smile at Minami, who asks me if she can't read my thoughts or what I'm planning to do.
Of course I'll win.
Laugh in a pinch.
By laughing, you can pick up the win.
Grab the faintest glimmer of light and you're a true champion.
The teachings of the instructors.
It's outrageous to give up.
I'm their leader.
Then it's no joke that I would give up.
I'll show them what's possible.
That's what being a boss is all about.
I get a look from the south that asks me how.
Without cracking a smile, you'd rather explain the composition of the puzzle you're putting together while smiling more deeply and smiling.
What, there's no room for it. I'm just going to simply go straight and blow it up.
But the composition of that puzzle is also very simple.
What? What are you talking about? Are you in your right mind?
"Well, unfortunately, it's not the kind of opponent you can turn the tables on in a sane and sober way, so there will be times when you'll have to go a little crazy.
I don't have enough cards in my hand to make a serious comeback in this situation.
Normally, it would be safer to retreat.
What do you think? Do you want to take the man's gambit of thinking in the present dire situation, or do you want to follow the calmly derived answer of the South?
But that's when a simple method stands out, and it can be effective.
The fact that you leave it up to me to decide is disgusting, that it is.
Don't praise me.
"Not a compliment, that it is.
My instructors have taught me to enjoy in a pinch, and I'm probably more excited now than anyone else.
I'm waiting for Minami's answer, laughing that the fatigue will kick in later.
She understands that she can't wait for a long time, and Kaido and the others wait for her answer, saying it's better not to get confused by interrupting her now.
It's probably too much to ask a twenty year old girl to make such a decision, but let's just laugh it off as the usual thing.
......... leader's hunch, that it is. What are the odds?
Twenty percent.
My plan and the maximum firepower I can currently muster.
And the estimated damage I could do to my opponent if it was hit.
Taking that into account, I gave a slightly higher figure of twenty percent.
Less than ten percent if you answer bearishly.
If I answered bullishly, it's less than 20 percent.
But I raised my answer a little higher.
Then I'll ride, that I will.
"What? Are you serious, Minami-chan!
What are the odds?
You should ask the leader about that. Honestly, most of my plans are not going to work now that we are this close to poverty, that I have decided that it would be best for us to withdraw from the situation. Honestly, I have decided that it would be best to withdraw from the situation, that I have decided that the damage is minimal.
Then why did you go along with Jiro's story? I should just pull it off, right?
At that bullish statement, Minami tilted the balance.
At Kitamiya and Masaru's question, Minami smiled with a little bit of a limp.
"Normally, I would say that if I ran away from here, I would be finished as a gamer, that I would, but today is different, that I would.
It was a smile that everyone could see that she was forcing herself to smile with bravado.
Even while she was under the extreme light of the Skull Dragon, she said, "If we can turn this around, I'm sure it'll be the coolest thing ever.
If we can turn things around from here, we'll be the coolest people in the world, that we are.
You're going to be able to get the most out of it.
How many of the people who were asked while challenging the dragon would give such an answer?
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it happen. Nice one, South! It's great!
I can't help but laugh and agree with that statement.
Yes, I do.
At first I came here to find some way to repel the boss when I fight him.
Then I came here to get the mineral tree.
But now I just want to beat my opponent and have the best of both worlds.
This is what I have to say without laughing.
"Wow, that's a lot of tension and momentum, but I don't mind that kind of momentum either!
"Me too! It feels better to win anyway!
......... as usual in the South, but I think I know the feeling. Well, sometimes it's good to take on a challenge like this.
Do you guys know what's going on? You can't ask, "What's the matter with you? Okay, okay, I'll keep you company.
"I don't want to hear about Kitamiya's tsundere, that I don't.
"Who's a tsundere?
That laughter will propagate.
The faces that were grim a moment ago are now laughing.
Rather than seeing hope, it's more accurate to say that they're reluctant.
