Assassin and PK
Fourth day of the event. With the sun already rising, Hyde, who had just woken up, was sitting in a cave with his body upright.
In the end, even though I searched all night long after that, I couldn't find a single medal. And near dawn Hyde fell asleep in this cave and now wakes up.
(... Alright. I've woken up. Well, it's been too good until now. All I have to do is find a medal in three days, and I'll be able to do something about it. It's not like I didn't have any results yesterday either.)
Many of the monsters that appeared during the night were powerful and had a lot of experience points.
[Dormant]
Sleep inside the ring to recover HP and MP. Take no damage while asleep.
【Awakening】
Release the dormant state and emerge from the ring.
【discover】
Discover monsters and players by disabling skills that hide signs and figures.
[Clairvoyance]
You can see through one of the obstacles in your field of vision. Consumes 1 MP per second while active.
([Dormant] and [Awakening] are probably skills common to tamed monsters. Are there any other skills unique to Oulu? All of them are useful skills, but [Clairvoyance] is especially the best. solves the biggest problems)
In order for Hyde to activate [Assassination], he must not be seen by monsters or players. For that reason, it was incompatible with Oulu's [Review], which requires Hyde to be in sight in order to gain experience points.
However, with this [Clairvoyance], the story changes. This skill
(As expected,
yes. Hyde instructed Aur to close his eyes and use [Clairvoyance] on her eyelids.
And I confirmed last night that when I defeated a monster in that state, Oulu would receive experience points.
(Moreover, thanks to not looking straight through my eyelids, my status increased due to the effect of [Hermit]. convenient)
[Hermit], [Assassination], and [Concealment] require skill activation "not to be seen", while Oulu's [Migration] requires "when the partner gains experience points within sight". is.
Normally, I think there is no difference between these two, and actually
Skills such as [Hermit] refer to seeing things directly, not through objects (transparent objects such as glass are an exception).
On the other hand, the ``inside the sight'' in the [rehearsal] is adapted to the ``inside the sight'' if you can see through it with skills, even if you can't see it directly through the object.
in short
(If you have [Discovery], you can find me even if you hide yourself with [Concealment]. Oulu didn't get experience points when using [Assassination], but from now on, you'll be able to get them all.)
[Discovery] is
However, since this skill is not a skill that just discovers things, it doesn't tell you what you found, so even if you find something, you just follow it with your eyes.
Originally, it was a completely meaningless skill, but it was meaningful only for Hyde, who used many skills to hide his appearance.
Hyde uses [Assassination] almost every time he can aim for instant death. At that time, if you don't hide your appearance, you can't do it, so if you do it, the effect of [Migeiko] won't activate and you won't get experience points.
However, this [Discovery] skill solved the problem. It seems that [Discovery] was activated even in the scenery seen through the eyelids with [Transparency], and the experience points of the monsters defeated by the effect of [Assassination] were also included in Oulu. This discovery was also confirmed during last night's battle.
(This skill is probably learned by Oulu because I often use the skill that hides my appearance. The woman who gave Oulu's egg also said, 'What you can do will change'. Well. Is it unavoidable to think about this?)
After collecting his thoughts, Hyde stood up and went out of the cave. By the time I checked the results of last night's battle, the time had already passed noon.
(Even though I went to bed late, I ended up spending half the day sleeping.
Hyde regained his spirit as he gazed at the sun that had risen to the top, and continued moving up the mountain following the trees.
◇◇◇
Five hours after starting the search.
As the sun began to set, Hyde sat on a tree branch, resting his back against the trunk, taking a break.
(No, no...! I've searched all over the place, but why isn't there a single dungeon or boss-like guy...!)
I went down the mountain, passed through the mountainous area, searched the grasslands and the forest where I was now, but all I could find were monsters and not a single medal I was looking for.
(Honestly, I've thought several times that things were going too smoothly until now, and I think there are quite a few dungeons that have already been cleared because the number of days for the event has passed. It's unexpected that there aren't any monsters or places!?)
Since I defeated a lot of monsters, both Hyde and Oulu's level have risen.
As a result, Oulu had learned new skills, so it wasn't that there weren't any results, but the current stage of achieving the goal with only one card left was giving Hyde a little impatience.
(Wait wait, calm down, calm down. It's sunset on the fourth day, so there are still three days left for the event. It's not the time to rush. If you lose your concentration in a hurry and get defeated by a player and lose all your medals, that would be the worst. )
Hyde realizes his impatience and takes a deep breath to calm himself down. And thanks to her calmness, I could hear her voice slightly.
(Hmm? Is this a voice? ……I can’t hear it very well. [Hell ears]. I can hear it clearly with this……Is this one?)
When the effect of the skill strengthened my hearing and I could hear the voice clearly, I started moving in that direction.
Concentrate on the voice, even while moving. This is because if you feel that you have been spotted, you will immediately flee.
"The medals have been collected smoothly."
"Yeah, but I'm not satisfied with this amount, let's collect more."
"really,
"Of course. We have the gold medals we received as rewards for the first event, but Ageha, who couldn't participate for some reason, doesn't have them. I want to receive one
"I'm happy for me, but it's my fault that I couldn't participate, so why don't we all split up?"
"It's already decided."
“Isn’t it because of work that you couldn’t participate in that? I think it can’t be helped.”
Eventually, when the opponent came to a position where he could see it, Hyde stopped moving and quietly looked at the opponent from the branch of the tree.
(Wow. I heard a familiar name in the conversation, so I thought it might be possible, but after all, it was Mii from [Flame Emperor]. Other than that, [Collapsing Sword] Shin, [Trapper] Marx, and [Saint] Mizari And... the other one is someone I don't know. Judging from the story, he didn't participate in the last event.)
The ones there were the top rankers from the first event, led by My, who is known as the "Emperor of Flames".
The only tall woman with indigo hair and a short cut that Hyde doesn't know (it seems to be called Ageha) wears leather armor and carries a large sword on her back.
(As you can see, it's a power fighter, and it doesn't seem to be able to turn around. Now, who should I target...)
At this point, Hyde was ready to attack the group.
The players I've found so far didn't necessarily have medals even if they attacked, so I didn't force myself to attack them.
But this time it's a different story. Everyone except for the indigo-haired woman Hyde doesn't know is in the top 10 in the previous event.
In other words, unless the medal is packed to one person, it is almost certain that each person has one gold medal.
(You don't need to defeat all of them. Just kill one person, pick up the medal he was carrying, and run away to hide. Hiding is my specialty, and if I don't get noticed until the moment I attack, I win.)
Mi and the others continue to move without noticing Hyde. The first is Mii, and the next is a woman named Ageha. Behind them are Mizari and Marx, with Shin at the back.
(
It's a formation that places importance on keeping the rear guard in the center as much as possible and protecting it, rather than simply putting the front guard in front and the rear guard behind.
Right now, Hyde is chasing him from behind, so in this current situation, in this formation, Hyde's target will inevitably be decided.
(I'm aiming for Shin at the end. I'll get a little closer, and if I let my guard down, I'll do it all at once.)
Once Hyde had decided on his target, he quietly closed the distance so as not to be noticed, but little by little. And when they got close enough, Hyde came up with a daring plan.
(... Let's bet a little. [Concealed] [
Hyde, who hid himself with his skill, climbed down from the tree and moved directly behind Shin.
The strategy that Hyde came up with was to hide himself with [Concealment], approach point-blank range, and take advantage of a momentary gap when he was off guard to attack.
Even if they were approaching directly behind them, Shin and the others didn't seem to notice because they were invisible due to the skill's effect.
Hyde watches for Shin's opening while paying attention to the time limit of [Concealment].
"It's getting darker."
"It looks like it's already night time. Are you looking for a place to rest today?"
"... That's right. It's not efficient to search all night. Just like Marcus said, let's put an end to today's search and look for a safe zone where monsters don't appear."
“Yes.
When Mi agreed to suspend the search for today's medal, the tense atmosphere eased.
(Now! [Assassination]! [Pinpoint Attack]!)
Hyde, who didn't miss that chance, fired an attack at Shin's neck.
"Guah!?"
"What!"
Shin raises his voice and slowly falls down. Mie and the others turned around in surprise at Shin's voice.
"Shin!"
"... off guard, great enemy ([Shadow Barrier]!)"
Hyde activates a skill to create an invisible barrier before Shin's HP drops to 0 and disappears into light.
and Shin
"No!?"
"Wha, what just now!?"
“Shin isn’t here either! Did he really defeat him!?”
"Calm down!"
"Mi, mi..."
The rest of them were panicking, but they regained their composure with Mi's scolding.
"I know you're panicking, but be careful around you. I think it's a wandering monster that appears depending on the time of day, but it's possible that it's still lurking nearby."
With Mi's words, everyone looked around with a startled expression.
(Yeah, lurking nearby is correct, but I'm not a monster.)
Hyde was riding on a nearby tree branch and using [Concealment] to hide himself, watching the situation of Mii and the others.
Originally, it would be better to leave immediately, but since I couldn't use [Concealment] yet, I had no choice but to hide myself nearby.
"No...is it?"
"But Mii. Why did you think it was a monster? It might be a player, right?"
Marx asks Mi while being vigilant. Mi also answered the question without breaking her alertness.
"Of course, I can't dismiss that possibility, but I don't think it's too high in my opinion. The last skill he used temporarily blinded his surroundings. But did he say the name of the skill?"
"I didn't hear you. At least to me."
"Even I didn't hear it. Players can't activate skills unless they say the skill name aloud, but monsters aren't limited to that."
"I see. I agree."
(No, I can activate the skill without saying it out loud.)
The reason for Mii's speculation is not wrong. Players other than Hyde don't know about the existence of [Silent], so they can only speculate.
In fact, hearing Mii's story, the party members who were with her nodded with satisfied faces.
On the other hand, the assailant, Hyde, was happy that his plan had worked out for some unexpected reason.
(I tried saying something like a fixed phrase in hopes that people would misunderstand me as a monster, but... I didn't think they would misunderstand me for a different reason. Well, it turned out okay. doesn't seem like it)
"... it doesn't seem like he's coming."
"Maybe it was a monster that would immediately leave and attack another party if it succeeded in a surprise attack."
For a few minutes
"Even if you can't see it, don't let your guard down. We didn't notice that monster until it attacked us."
"That's right. For now, I'll find a place to rest and get in touch with Shin."
"Okay, let's hurry!"
Mi and the others quickly leave the place. When Hyde confirmed the sound of Mii and the others leaving with [Hell Ears], he leaned against the trunk of the tree while exhaling the breath he had unconsciously stopped.
(Ah~ I was nervous~! I'm glad I didn't find you~!)
Hyde was confident that he would not be found, but it seems that he was quite nervous about his first penalty shootout.
After letting go of all the tension, Hyde also stood up to leave the place.
(I'm tired today, so let's stop exploring at night and rest now. It would be nice if there was a place nearby where I could rest...)
Hyde sighed for the last time and started moving in search of a place where he could rest.
And when he finds the right cave, he immediately lies down and falls asleep. With that, the fourth day of Hyde's event ended.
Hyde is the first PK. I will check the medals next time. Next time, I will release an original character.
For the time being, this is the original setting that I put out this time.
About the difference between ``visual observation'' and ``visual observation'' ``visual observation''
is not looking through objects (transparent objects such as glass are an exception), but looking directly with the eyes.
Even if you can't see it directly through objects, if you can see through it with skills etc., it will be adapted to ``within your sight''.
In addition, the original use of [Transparency] is to hide tame monsters behind rocks and watch the battle through the hidden rocks, so making the eyelids transparent is an unexpected use for management. However, this usage has no merit for ordinary people, and it only puts a time limit on the battle, so the management has no intention of adjusting the skill.
