Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter Dreams of a Hero ~

Chapter 343.1: Dog' Chain ②

The power of the mirror of reality is one-sided. Even if we can see it, we can't communicate any order. If you want to communicate an order from a distance, you must compensate for that weakness in some way.

If it had been a Hunter, they might have been able to make the right decision depending on the situation, but the Dog's Chain still shows no signs of realizing that he has taken a wrong turn.

Me and the other guides use various methods to control Monsters. For example, Quint can give detailed instructions with a whistle, and I, who cannot do that, do not send Monsters with low intelligence far away in the first place.

Call Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka). There's no way he could have expected a situation like this, right? (Adler)

I don't know much about the dog's chain's abilities. I didn't even know it could do reconnaissance, so it is possible that it has hidden abilities that can allow him to give commands from afar.

However, in response to my question, Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) Members only look at each other and do not show any reaction.

What on earth is going on? As I open my eyes in wonder, Tino, who left some disturbing comments yesterday such as You guys don't know how terrifying Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) is, clears her throat and says.

Of course, he already expected it. You guys are taking the Divine Strategist too lightly. Master~ has probably even assumed that it will get lost. So there's no need to call him. (Tino)

Hah? (Adler)

It is already expected that it would get lost, you say Is there any point in making it get loooost? He should have just warned it (Uno)

Master's~ thoughts and judgments are at a far higher level than those of ordinary people. In other words, Master~ is God. (Tino)

She answers Uno's most reasonable question. I couldn't help but gasp at the look on Tino's face. It is not an exaggeration to say that she has a serious expression on her face. It is not an expression you would see when talking about an ally.

A Guide who controls Monsters requires excellent command skills. I believed that the rumors of Infinite Variety's (Senpen Banka) being a Divine Strategist are due to his commanding ability as a Guide, but perhaps that idea was a little naive.

In any case, it seems better to wait and take a closer look.

If you insist that much It looks like we'll see something interesting. (Adler)

I'm sure, it won't be fun, desu (Kruz)

I wonder how much experience she has had so far, the Spirit People girl called Kruz mumbles that. You can hear the fear in her voice as well. It would be understandable if he is feared by his enemies, but it is rare for your allies to fear you so much. From the looks of it, Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) does not use fear or power to intimidate his allies.

And then Eliza, who has been silently staring into the mirror, suddenly opens her eyes wide.

Something's coming Hh! (Eliza)

Everyone concentrates on the mirror. Almost at the same time, the bushes stop shaking. The dog's chain has stopped moving.

There are no sounds of footsteps. However, a disturbing wind is blowing.

Then, while everyone is watching, it appears from the shadow of a tree.

The first thing that could be seen is the jet-black mask that absorbs the sunlight filtering through the trees. The design is similar to the one worn by the Phantoms that fight in the Temple of Origin, but the color is different. It is a humanoid Phantom. Unlike the Knight Phantom that tormented us, it has the appearance of a Magi. It wears a short jet-black robe, and its delicate limbs stretched out slenderly. Its movements are somewhat sophisticated and there is no violent atmosphere, but the pressure that can be felt even through the mirror is extraordinary.

A dark Magi wearing an evilish mask. It is clearly not just any Phantom. It is probably on par with the Knight Phantom that cut Yuden in half.

I think from the bottom of my heart. I am glad I didnt come across this Phantom at that time. The essence of the Guide's power is to overwhelm with numbers. An Ikkitousen1 knight is strong, but an Ikkitousen Magi is our natural enemy. It is even possible that an entire army could be wiped out with one wide-ranging offensive Magic. If things had gone badly, we would have been wiped out.

I want it.

I am also interested in the Phantom of a god, but my army has almost no Magi. In the first place, Monsters that can use Magic are valuable. If this Phantom can be controlled, Night Parade (Hyakki Yako) will reach even greater heights.

I manage to keep my expression calm, though it is distorted by strong emotions. The Phantom has only appeared before my eyes. I haven't even seen what kind of process you need to go through in order to control a Phantom.

Could it be that Infinite Variety (Senpen Banka) is trying to use the dog's chain to search for Phantoms?

It is a little different from this time's purpose, but if you think about it, it makes sense why he sent the dog's chain for reconnaissance. Powerful Monsters are also valuable to Guides. There is no need to waste them needlessly, and in the first place, if it is a living creature, it wouldn't think to approach it as soon as it sensed the presence of this Phantom. If it is a Relic, even if it is destroyed, you can just buy it again, and it wont be intimidated by powerful Phantoms.

This is an option I have never considered before. Should I look for one when I get back to town? Just as I am thinking about this, something black slowly falls from directly above the Phantom.

There is a light ink-colored sphere. For a moment I thought it was a giant balloon, but that was not it. The air around it is unnaturally distorted, and looking at it agitates my heart.

When I suddenly look next to me, I see Uno with her eyes open to the limit. If I look through her special eyes, will I see something different from what I can see?

Lapis *furafura* unsteadily approaches the mirror, vigorously puts her hand on the table, and says in a trembling voice.

Im Impossible That is, a Spirit. Moreover, it is a Spirit of the highest rankYggdra's Guardian SpiritA Spirit of the same rank as Miles! (Lapis)

A mass of power. A living nature. One of the strongest beings that even we, who have traveled to all sorts of unexplored regions, have rarely seen. A mysterious Spirit is floating around the Phantom as if to protect it.

I-I've never heard of Spirit siding with Phantoms, desu! (Kruz)

Uuumu (Anthem)

Tsk. As expected, we need to take some measures to deal with this (Liz)

Impossible. We'll lose before we even get close to it. (Eliza)

As if realizing that they are incompatible, Liz clicks her tongue and Eliza speaks in a rebuking tone.

The Phantom of a Magi alone is too much to handle, but when it is accompanied by a high-ranking Spirit, the opponent is the worst.

The Phantom slowly walks through the tall grass. However, just by doing so, the surrounding plants quickly lose their color, wither and fall. It is likeAs if it is stealing the life force from the plants.

It doesn't seem like it is doing anything. Is it the power of the Phantom or the power of the Spirit? If there is one thing that can be said with certainty, it is that just by being there, it is harming the lives of those around it.

It is a terrifying power. It is particularly incompatible with Night Parade (Hyakki Yako). If we had suddenly encountered it, we might have lost. Uno looks at me as if she wants to say something. I nod once and look around at everyone.

It is true that the power of this Phantom is powerful. However, there are some moves that can be made only if we know the enemy in advance.

"It seems like a troublesome ability But with Uno's Ripper, which can cut through space, we can definitely get a first strike from behind. (Adler)

Right now, my scissors are worn out, so it will be a while before I can use them agaaain. (Uno)

Uno's SpiritRipper's ability is perfect for a surprise attack.

Scissors that can freely cut through space. This ability, which enables a pseudo-teleportation is the trump card that has saved Night Parade (Hyakki Yako) many times in the past, and its power is effective not only when escaping, but also when attacking.

The weakness of a Magi is its weak body. Even if the opponent is a Phantom, the premise remains the same. Liz boasts an attack power that can knock out Quint with a single blow, so if she were to attack it from behind when it is defenseless, it wouldn't be able to survive. The phenomenon that kills the plants is not enough to instantly defeat a High-Level Hunter. Eliza nods with a vague expression of Adler's idea.

True, with that kind of power, it might be the perfect match to deal with this Phantom (Eliza)

It pisses me off to have to borrow the power of banditsTsk. It can't be helped. We gotta do our job. (Liz)

That's right, Onee-sama. The world is in danger (Tino)

Umu, umu. (Anthem)

Liz clicks her tongue in frustration. Apparently, she has the fortitude to fight alongside someone she dislikes if it is for the sake of her goal. We don't need to be worried about being backstabbed. This woman would rather attack us fair and square than back-stabbing someone.

I have no intention of holding back. I don't want to think that there are many Phantoms like this out there, but I am sure we will have many more battles with powerful Phantoms in the future. We cannot survive unless we work together. Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei) and Night Parade (Hyakki Yako) are in the same boat.

Thanks for reading! Sasuga Cry, making Silver go in another direction just to find a Phantom! But is the Divine Strategy just this? Discover a Phantom then having Strange Grief and Night Parade cooperate to take it down!?
