＜ Episode 76 ＞
Thousands of players, or more, fell into Luna in response to the summons.
There were those who burned with a sense of mission, those who wanted to escape reality, and those who simply threw their lives away to find fun.
Although they are lumped together as players, each had a different purpose and each had different abilities.
Players who got abilities that existed only on the other side of the monitor, which they had no possibility to get in real life, went crazy, and it was all the more so because they recognized Luna as the world in the game.
Of course, most of those people were swept away by Luna’s powerful people, and at that point, the players were filtered out.
The remaining ones who recognized the formidable reality permeated Luna’s darkness, and formed a group according to their inclination and purpose, so this is the guild.
The players who permeated Luna’s darkness like that devoted themselves to leveling up to improve their abilities, and during that time, many people lost their lives again.
3 years passed like that.
Each of the players who succeeded in surviving had something unique, and some of them blossomed with talents they never thought they would have on Earth.

Looking at the girl staring straight at him with her eyes widening with madness and murder, Lithium sighed.
“Let’s go in and talk.”
“Where are you!”
The unrestrained momentum became more intense, and the whole body became tingly.
She flinched as if she was going to run towards Armstrong’s mansion at any moment, and the girl in front of her actually had the ability to do so.
Leah Smith.
Like all players, this little girl who didn’t know if it was her real name or not was an absolute master.
Although not a perfect superhuman, a girl who had the qualifications to become a superhuman deserved to be arrogant enough.
“If I go alone, I will die miserably without being able to use my hands. I promise you.”
But that also has a time and a place.
The girl, whose shoulders flinched at Gregory’s cold voice, glared at Gregory with a fearful expression, but Gregory’s expression did not change.
Because that’s what I was actually thinking.
“You are not a superman yet. If I had been superhuman, I wouldn’t have been allowed to come here.”
Negotiations between the city council and the National Guard exclude superhumans from participating in the war.
If superhumans intervened in both camps, the burning of the forest would not have ended.
Those who have attained the qualifications to become superhuman and those who have reached superhuman status.
It sounds like a pun, but it meant that there was a difference between heaven and earth, and Leah’s expression twisted at Gregory’s cold words.
“Follow my orders. Stay focused. Then you will have a chance to take revenge.”
“…are you sure?”
“I promise.”
“great.”
Gregory smiled coldly as he watched the surging momentum subside.
Because an unexpectedly powerful hand came into my hand.
‘This is the end.’
Gregory’s determined gaze turned to the other side of the forest.
***
“It is said that a master master has joined over there.”
“…it will be a variable.”
Hearing Robin’s report, John narrowed his eyes, and the other talented people gathered all at once stiffened their faces.
Although it is partial, the presence of a master master who can deal with strong spirits has that much weight.
“Tyron.”
“say.”
After thinking for a moment, John met Tyrone’s eyes.
“Can you deal with the peak master?”
“It is obviously impossible to be alone. I don’t know if there’s a team that matches hands and feet, but we should try to match the sum.”
At Tyrone’s words, the three warriors nodded in agreement.
It is difficult for other talented people to intervene in a fight between warriors.
This is because they cannot follow the movements of unmanned people who perfectly control their bodies and try to kill each other with movements that exceed human limits.
Supporting augmented magic before battle was the best thing you could do to a warrior, so it’s best to take out a warrior to deal with a warrior.
“Shall I inform the master?”
“That shouldn’t be the case. Mr. Armstrong is always our escort. It is a story that the fact that the escort target uses their hands directly is a request failure.”
John shook his head at Robin’s cautious words, and some faces showed displeasure, but he soon understood.
John’s words weren’t wrong, and the people in this room weren’t babbling.
“…Still, it would be better to inform you of the situation. Report to Mr. Armstrong to inform him of the existence of the ultimate master and to prepare for an unexpected engagement.”
“All right.”
In any case, their goal is to escort Armstrong.
The fact that Armstrong faced the enemy was the same as the failure of the request, but since the variable of adhering to the peak intervened, there was no choice but to prepare.
Armstrong is also a peak master.
“ruler.”
It was a low voice, but it pierced everyone’s ears clearly, and their eyes gathered.
“The enemy has been recruited with abilities and peak masters. Do you know what this means?”
At John’s question, Fioren opened his mouth.
“Are you saying that it’s okay to stop this time?”
“yes. We made an agreement to exclude superhumans from this battlefield. But the climax was put in. It means that the other side took out all the cards that could be used.”
At John’s words, everyone put on a look of understanding.
“I won’t use leftovers. It will consist only of talented people and push in with force.”
Recalling the battle last night, everyone nodded.
“Employees, thoroughly focus on defending and protecting the mansion. Robin.”
“Tell me. Mr. Doe.”
“I said there are talented people. Organize separately. You lead and prevent the peak adherence.”
“Leave it to me.”
Five powers, including Robin, were among the users, and since they usually matched their hands, they would be able to fight against the masters somehow.
“The combat deployment will be the same as yesterday. Fioren.”
“Speak.”
“Stay centered. Support allies with barriers and ask for augmented magic.”
“That’s what I do best.”
Fioren gave a human-looking smile.
“Grass.”
“Well.”
Another mage included in the ally, Grass, met John’s gaze.
“Enemy enemies will have wizards too. I won’t ask you to retreat. Focus on containment.”
“Is it a spell counter? I see.”

Magic, if used in the right place, has the power to change the battle situation at once.
If you had a lot of knowledge about magic, you would actively use allied wizards and aim for a shot that would change the battle situation, but John doesn’t have that kind of knowledge.
If so, exclude magic from the battlefield.
John judged that, and instructed Grass to check the enemy’s magic.
Interfering with magic is much easier than creating it, and I don’t know how many wizards there are, but it won’t be easy to break through Grass’s blockade and complete the magic.
“The two prepare for battle in the same spot. hit the back If the sorcerer exists, also interfere with the sorcery.”
“I will.”
A mechanical sound flowed from the cyborg’s mouth, and the taciturn shaman nodded.
“You get hit in the back. Apply at the point where you want your allies to be pushed back. It is our mission to keep the battlefield from being pushed back.”
“I like it.”
In a way, it was the most important role, and the talented person smiled coldly.
“The unmanned man’s mission is the same. intercept the enemy from the front. If this is enough, the assortment is probably right.”
The role of John was not revealed, but everyone knew what John was going to do.
The battle last night was that impressive.
“From now on, I will give you instructions according to the situation. After all, we are an improvised team. I don’t even expect organizational power like a cogwheel.”
John’s eyes met each and every member of the party.
“Everyone must have a lot on their mind.”
A few shoulders twitched at the sudden story, and everyone’s expression hardened.
“I am not ignorant of this situation, and I have no intention of criticizing it. Because everyone has their own circumstances.”
“…Mr. Doe.”
It was a vague story, but there was no one who didn’t know John’s meaning, and a puzzled expression appeared on Robin’s face.
“It’s okay to work. Just think carefully.”
A cold light leaked from John’s eyes.
“Keep in mind that I’m watching you from behind.”
It was a trivial threat, and no one felt threatened by these words, but since it was John who said it, the party kept their silence.
Because there was no one who could ignore John’s words that proved his ability.
***
The sun soaring high in the sky began to lower its body slowly, and the members of the mansion who had a hearty lunch warmed up.
Beep!
“coming!”
A violent signal rang from the sensors that the workers had densely spread around the forest, and at that moment, everyone stood up.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
“It’s also the front.”
There’s no way he couldn’t have found the sensor, but John nodded his head as he checked the direction of the enemy moving as if he didn’t care.
Everyone’s eyes focused on John, and a calm voice flowed from John’s mouth.
“in action.”
“write!”
The entire mansion, which had been loosened a little, began to move quickly along with the servants’ resounding blessings.
Employees carrying their own weapons and moving to their assigned area, warriors warming up and heading to the main gate, cyborgs and shamans climbing to the point on the roof, Even those with special powers who lag behind the wizards and warriors and follow them.
Four powerful men dressed in the same uniform as Robin stepped forward with nervous expressions, and John, who looked at their faces, turned and headed towards Fioren.
“Fioren.”
“Tell me, John.”
Fioren’s fingers moved slightly at the secret and small voice, and a simple barrier was formed.
Although it was only for a short time, the conversation within the barrier would not leak out.
“There will be guys coming back. Pay attention.”
“Are you saying that the enemy would have divided their forces?”
Looking at Fioren’s serious face, John smiled.
“It won’t be much. It’s just that it’ll be enough to catch me off guard when it’s decisive. It will be enough for a brief check.”
“I got it.”
A cold smile appeared on Fioren’s face.
Fioren is probably the strongest among those gathered here, and it is not that difficult to keep him in check for a while.
“Anyway, I’m sure. Is there any basis?”
“Because I would do that.”
Captain Gregory Bear is always ready to strike the back.
It was impossible to lose command over a single offensive failure, and in that case, it was clear that the troops would have been taken out separately.
At least the Gregory that John experienced was like that, and thanks to that, he suffered quite a bit.
“…do you know the sign?”
“They don’t know me.”
To Fioren’s question with a doubtful expression, John answered with a calm expression.
Under the full support of the CIA, the Captain, who commanded Black Ops, would not have caught the eye of an ally.
Thanks to this, John at that time was able to complete the mission given to him, and the CIA’s expression was wrinkled, but it was a story of the past anyway.
The important thing is that John knows Gregory, and Gregory doesn’t know John.
And, thinking that maybe it would make a crucial difference, John moved on.
