“Welcome to Happy Island!”
The roller coaster stopped in front of a sign that read just that.
After disembarking, the ground around us was reddish-brown, but beyond that, it was normal ground with grass, soil, stones, and paths. Enemies were swarming everywhere.
(So the reddish-brown part is the safe zone.)
There were even enemies that looked like they could breathe fire, but they weren’t coming at us.
Since there were no attendants like in the amusement park on the Shamanias Continent, Iwamoto-san, a former security guard, was taking the lead in helping everyone disembark.
(Dragons looked like they’d be difficult to get off.)
Incidentally, I heard there was an underwater area too, so the party members would remain the same, including the Tim Monsters.
And of course, Kaumi-san was human now!
(As soon as everyone had safely disembarked, the roller coaster returned on its own…)
“Alright, since we’re on the ground for a while, Baird and Sexy Diamond Golem can return to their original sizes.”
“Understood!” “Returning to normal size, if you please.”
“Then let’s get plenty of experience at this EXP-focused hunting ground!” “Ah, wait a moment!”
Now that I was free, I started from the safe zone and attacked an “Ancient Buffalo,” which looked quite strong, with a long-range attack!
“Hiyah!”
Whoa, they came charging out, past the safe zone, and in a massive horde!
“I won’t let you!”
Iwamoto-san, acting as the tank at the front line, was repeatedly striking the approaching enemies with his sasumata to hold them back.
But their numbers were just too great, so we had to counter with numbers of our own!
“Alright, let’s push them back and advance!”
A large number of Balloon Seals were also acting as a wall for us.
They were taking a lot of damage, but Nataira-chan’s recovery shower seemed effective.
We had to constantly maintain it, but if our magic power ran out, we had Anju-chan’s candy.
(In a pinch, we have Goddess Succubus and Haitou-san’s resurrection magic.)
If a normal eight-person party had come here, it would have been tough, or rather, if they’d just stepped a little further in, they would have been wiped out immediately. So, multiple parties were recommended.
Even so, the sheer number of enemies coming at us… Ah, maybe it’s just that no one had come here before.
“Hah! Yaaah!”
With shouts, Nina-san swung her Berserk Sword.
As expected, this Giant Woman Hero was magnificent… Her movements were incredibly powerful.
Her sword was also back to its original state; well, even if it had been completely broken, Mariu-san could have repaired it at his workshop immediately.
(And the next most reliable is…)
Anju-chan’s black staff.
It was recently specialized as a “Body Slam” item, but the power of her Shadow-type magic attack, “Dark Integrate,” was still incredible.
“Be swallowed by darkness—!”
What’s with the Shadow-type talk…
No, even our Goddess Succubus wouldn’t say something like that, but she was certainly thinning out the massive horde of enemies.
(Even the seemingly tough enemies were defeated in three hits.)
Moreover, with Anju-chan, her natural recovery was actually stronger than the damage taken.
Truly terrifying. As expected of Nina Starlights, the strongest, number one.
(Of course, everyone else was moving well too.)
That’s probably because all three of the Bards were playing supportive magic.
“♪ Ah, Puri, Puri, Puri Puri Puri Puri…”
“Kaumi-san, I just realized something.”
“What is it?” “You don’t really have to sing, do you? Just playing the music is fine, isn’t it?” “Ah.”
Helen-san’s summons.
The Succubi were also in a state of rampage.
Poison Succubi were clinging to the large enemies, causing them to rot. How gruesome.
(And surprisingly amazing are…!!)
“Take this, you shotacon lovers!”
“Leave the enemies from behind to us!”
The combo of White Frontbeard and his partner, or companion, or wife, Sexy Diamond Golem was truly wonderful.
(Of course, the Dragons are working hard too!)
However, the enemies from the sky were quickly dealt with by the Balloon Seals.
One of them moved very differently; it was the one with the taped ring.
Its level had already skyrocketed, and it seemed to be having fun, “Mokyuu, mokyuu.”
(I can’t be left behind either!)
I supported MAINA-cchi by finishing off enemies she was trying to punch down with my long-range attacks. Yes, it felt good.
The front-line fighters were skillfully dodging, but if they let their guard down, they could be engulfed by the enemies.
(And as for me, the enemies’ attacks simply didn’t hit me.)
Was this thanks to my luck stat?
Of course, if they came at me from all directions and even from directly above simultaneously, even someone with great luck would be defeated; I’d confirmed that with the owner of this equipment.
(Before I knew it, time passed, and we advanced further and further…)
“Hmm, we’ve reached the sea on the other side.”
“If you go towards the mountains, there’s a Demon Lord in a valley.”
“Haitou, what kind of enemy is it?” “It changes with each event, so I can’t say for sure. Recently, it’s been a Cerberus-type.”
So we wouldn’t know until we go there.
Anju-chan flew high into the sky to survey the area.
Of course, aerial enemies were coming, but the Seals, Dragons, and Succubi were taking care of them.
“Nnngh, there are people on both sides—”
“Anju! What kind of people are they?”
“On the sea side, it’s a man— on the mountain side, it’s a woman with glasses—”
Her eyesight is amazing.
Iwamoto-san and Haitou-san exchanged glances.
“As for the man…”
“He appears at fixed intervals, selling items and offering paid escapes.”
“Does someone like that live here?” “Yes, on both islands.”
I wonder what they sell.
“Then, about the woman…”
“Location-wise, that should be the Demon Lord.”
“A female boss with glasses, I don’t have any immediate leads.”
I wonder what kind of Demon Lord even Haitou-san doesn’t know about.
“Alright, which is closer?”
“The one on the opposite shore is easier to reach.”
“The Demon Lord’s fixed location requires entering an underground maze first, but can you fly there?”
From Haitou-san’s reaction, it seemed like we normally needed to go underground.
“Can we fly straight there?”
“If so, it’s towards the Demon Lord.”
“Understood, Haitou. Let’s go check out the Demon Lord first.”
So, we all flew towards where the Demon Lord was.
I was being floated by Anju-chan and flying too!
In the sky, enemies suddenly swarmed us. We were conspicuous, so all the enemies on the island came at us.
(Yes, indeed, in the center of the island, surrounded by natural rock walls like a castle, someone is there.)
…And here, I witnessed a sight I couldn’t believe!!
“Ah, that, huh, eeeeeh?!”
“What’s wrong, Deles?”
“Th-that’s impossible, b-but it’s definitely, that’s…!!”
The closer I got, the more certain I became!!
Boing!
“Whoa, I was bounced back by an invisible wall?!”
“What, some kind of castle wall magic?”
“But, but I can clearly see the Demon Lord, that is, that is definitely…!!”
Nina-san was also surprised.
Anju-chan exclaimed too.
“Deles, could it be…”
“She’s coming this way—?!”
“Yes, without a doubt, that is, that Demon Lord, is Ric, Older Sister!!”
But, why—?!!
