Pandora of Fantasy And Reality Chapter 140

The Usage Is Going As Planned

Ponsuke was riding a donkey on the sky.

He was watching floating islands and flying ships falling one after another while telling his guild members what he was seeing.

「They’re moving! They’re rushing us!」

Lighter heard Ponsuke’s warning.

『We’ve finished preparing too over here. Let’s give them a warm welcome. And, what are you going to do Ponsuke-kun?』

Ponsuke was watching the seventh floating island starting to be  enveloped in fire while targeting the guild that was in charge of this  whole thing.

The guild that was holding the central role was preparing to charge forward.

「I’m going to target the supreme commander.」

『Hmm~, shouldn’t you call it as the main flagship instead? Well,  setting aside how to call it, that might be a good idea. We’ll be fine  over here so go wild.』

Even though Lighter was reliable at this kind of situation――.

Ponsuke was thinking like that while lightly kicking the doneky’s side.

The donkey flapped its wings toward the floating island that Ponsuke  pointed it at. It flew very fast……that Ponsuke’s body floated from the  saddle and he was hanging on only the rein for his dear life.

「Oi, donkey! Fly properly!」

「Fuhihihi!」

The donkey pretended to not hear him while looking delighted. It  continued flying like that until the flying island of the enemy guild,  Million.

「Gyaaaaaa!」

The donkey landed beautifully, while Ponsuke fell head first beside it. His head got planted into the ground beautifully.

He somehow pulled out his head and found himself surrounded by Million’s guild members.

Ponsuke paled.

(Even though I want to make a cooler entranceeeee!)

Ponsuke was flustered. However it was Million’s players who were actually really nervous.

「Y-you, are you Ponsuke!」

「Ah, yes.」

Ponsuke replied like that while standing up. The player yelled an order.

「Everyone, kill Ponsukeeeee!」

Their allies were sinking one after another. And now the enemy’s guild master Ponsuke had come to their guild.

They too were fairly flustered.

Ponsuke raised his fists and beautifully landed a counter on a player who thrust his spear at him.

The player was sent flying from Ponsuke’s attack, but he didn’t vanish.

As expected, even though Ponsuke had high level, the opponent was  also the same and his HP couldn’t be reduced to zero so easily.

Ponsuke turned around and found another player swinging an axe at him.

He stepped back so the axe just barely missed him. Then he punched that player too.

(How’s that!)

Ponsuke rejoiced that his effort for some time until now was showing result.

However,

「T-this guy is strong!」

「Why’s a donkey this strong!」

「Gyaaaa, it’s coming over hereeeee!」

The nearby donkey also started attacking when enemy players  approached it. It floated using its small wings and beat up the players  with its four legs like there was no tomorrow. Its targets turned into  red light and vanished.

Ponsuke looked at his donkey.

「Why are you standing out more than me!」

He complained while kicking away a player who jumped at him from behind.

The donkey stood on the ground and yawned.

That composure was also pissing him off.

But, it was a fact that it was a valuable help.

「Shit. This is different from the plan but, if it’s like this then――」

Ponsuke kept punching the players but, he felt a chill so he grabbed the donkey in his arm and jumped away from that place.

Right after that, magic that hit the surrounding players too exploded right there.

The explosion caused smoke to envelop the area. Red lights could be seen inside.

Ponsuke who was covering his face with his left arm was dumbfounded seeing that attack.

「They hit even their own allies!」

If there were people listening, surely they would say something like 「You guys are also doing the same thing」 back to him.

He rushed away from that spot, but arrows and bullets hit the ground in front of him.

Players covered in robe leaped out from inside the smoke.

「You guys!」

Ponsuke let go of the donkey and grabbed his sword with both hands.

A spear strike from a dragonia player was a skill attack as could be seen from the shining spear tip.

Ponsuke deflected up that attack and dodged, but an elf short sword user rushed into his bosom and slashed at Ponsuke’s stomach.

The short sword was shining purple――.

(This is――poison!)

He forcefully parried that attack with his sword.

A player in hiding slashed from behind while Ponsuke was doing that.

Ponsuke’s face distorted from pain. But the coordination attack still  hadn’t ended. The players were still raining down attacks on him.

Each of the attack was attack skill.

Facing such unceasing attacks, Ponsuke couldn’t endure it anymore and tried to use paid item but――.

「Don’t think that you can manage somehow with just that.」

Ponsuke jerked in surprise from the chilling voice of a female elf player.

The player was armed with spear and aimed at a small opening to stab Ponsuke’s left arm.

Ponsuke forcefully shook it off.

(If it’s like this!)

He would open his mouth largely and roar――to forcefully intimidate  the players around him. He immediately moved to regain his balance.

But, bullets and arrows and magic that didn’t care even if they hit the other enemies around him rained down――.

Ponsuke crossed his arms and defended against those. He immediately used his item.

The enemies also did the same――.

「Your realistic movement stands out.」

The players in front of him were stabbed by arrows and bled, by they showed no sign of caring.

「……So even the hardcores are in this huh.」

Cathy’s hands were holding a short sword each.

The other players also didn’t really care about their appearance.  They were carrying plain weapons. However, every single one of them  clearly had excellent parameter.

「Don’t think bad of us. We’re going to take the goddess series guild items in your possession.」

「Goddess?」

Ponsuke didn’t understand what Cathy was talking about.

Ponsuke immediately activated Berserk before the enemies started their cooperation attack again.

(I can’t let myself be defeated――!)

But, Cathy looked at Ponsuke and smiled.

「That’s right isn’t it. That’s your favorite tactic isn’t itttt!」

More players came from the rear. They were all carrying musical instrument.

(Don’t tell me――)

.

Kaizer Tom was grinning from seeing the sight before him.

The bombardment had stopped. Before him was Arcadia that had gotten so battered it wouldn’t be strange even if it sank anytime.

「Look! As expected my strategy isn’t wrong. Let’s finish this right――!」

But, when the flying island approached while the bombardment stopped, light enveloped Arcadia.

And then the battered armor plates and batteries……were getting replaced with new things.

「T-those guys prepared spare?」

「No way. How can they have the resource for that!」

「Even us can’t go that far!」

The surrounding was flustered. But Tom was the only one who saw through it.

「――Tsu! Everyone, move to the enemy base right away! Quick!」

Tom ran to escape from that place. His comrades also followed him to outside.

Right after that, one of the revived cannons fired――.

Tom and others got blown away from the blast of the large explosion.

The explosion came from the cannon’s shell that landed there.

And then Arcadia started firing repeatedly toward the remaining floating islands.

They also returned fire, but Arcadia’s armor deflected the bombardment of Tom and others.

Tom wiped his chin.

「Those guys, just what did they use to make that armor? It even repelled our attack, something like that is just……」

It was an exchange of blows using cannon.

Tom and the other guilds that had continued to attack one-sidedly  until now were being bombarded one-sidedly this time. The guild’s  buildings were getting blown away.

He could hear a voice from a megaphone.

The voice came from Arcadia.

『Fuha, FUHAHAHA! Look! This is our powerrrrr!』

The voice of the player sounded excited. It seemed there were also  other players behind that player. They could hear war cries too  following that voice.

Tom made a sour face as though he had bitten something bitter.

「Those bastards are getting cocky. Don’t tell me that they’re using cheat――」

Lighter seemed to pick up Tom’s question and replied.

『What a horrible accusation. We aren’t using anything like cheat. We’re just using real money.』

「Do you think us stupid! Even us are also doing that! Do you know  just how many of us are spending real money for this!? It must be twice  as many as you guys!」

His guild had several hundred members. Combined with the other guilds there must be several thousands of them in total.

If each one of them spent 10000 yen then that would mean that they had used tens of millions for paid items.

――A lot of money was moving for real in a war between guilds.

There were even players who gave it their all for the battle this  time and poured their bonus to buy paid items. Even if some of them were  students who couldn’t spend too much money, Tom and the others were  moving money in the amount of a hundred million.

Tom and the others were investing a hundred million yen in this battle.

But――.

『Double? You guys can only prepare this much even after using double the money?』

Lighter’s voice sounded exasperated.

「……Just how much did you guys spend?」

Just how much money these guys had used for paid items?

Tom was getting cold sweat.

『I can’t tell you that. Well, let’s just say that we have spent twice  as much as you guys. Now, let’s continue this fun duel. Also……why do  you think we can talk like this?』

The opponent was using megaphone.

In contrast, Tom and the others were just speaking normally.

They weren’t using communicator or anything.

Tom looked around. And then when he looked up――.

「……Ah, I finally got found out.」

SOLOLY was sticking on the ceiling with a camera.

He immediately ran away in a hurry after that.

One of Arcadia’s cannons was pointing at Tom’s direction.

Lighter’s voice spoke up.

『Come play with us after you get resurrected. We’ll be waiting~』

The cannon fired. The players around Tom ran away. But, Tom saw that he wouldn’t make it in time and stood still there.

「……Just wait over there. I’m going to kill you guys.」

The shell landed and exploded. Tom and the others turned into red light and vanished.

.

.

.

The players that had invaded Arcadia.

Waiting for them were the craftsman players and……NPCs.

A maid who was carrying large gatling guns in both arms was smiling at them.

「Welcome. Die.」

Players were dying one after another under the rain of bullets.

Some players were hiding behind wall while taking out items. Those were items to give them resistance against bullet.

They drank that and wiped their mouth.

「These guys are placing screwed up NPC like this. Why the hell the NPC’s level is maxed like this huh」

It must be NPC for defending the base, but it was strangely perfected.

They themselves also had something similar for their base, but they had no leeway to perfect it to this degree.

In the first place it was meaningless.

The NPC couldn’t be used for clearing.

The priority for such thing was low. They were fine with it as long as it could buy time against enemy.

He hand-signaled at his comrades and all of them consumed the item to deal against bullet.

「If we charge in all at once then mere NPC――」

When they leaped out with weapon held at the ready, the players saw the blonde twintail maid――carrying a flamethrower.

「Welcome home, master. Do you want fire? Or perhaps flame? Or else……flame explosion~」

The players got swallowed in flame and vanished as red light.

The craftsman players were watching that going on.

「That line when she used flamethrower, who inserted it?」

「Eh? Was it no good?」

「Welcome home doesn’t sound right for that situation.」

「Aa, I also think so. I felt irritated for some reason seeing her saying that to enemy.」

「Then let’s change it to, screw off.」

「No objection!」

.

.

.

――At Million’s guild.

The surrounding was blown away with rubbles everywhere. There――Ponsuke in his Berserk form was vanishing as red light.

(These guys……they’ve investigated us this thoroughly.)

Ponsuke’s body was made to be unable to move. And then magic and weapons assaulted him.

Three players were standing around Ponsuke.

The players with music instruments were players who had exhaustively mastered the tamer’s job which was rare in Pandora.

It was a job that wasn’t too useful, but it was a big threat for Ponsuke and other orcs.

After all orc was considered as monster during berserk state.

The elf Cathy was looking up at the enlarged and berserk Ponsuke.

「We’ve thoroughly investigated your hands. Well, we wouldn’t find out  if you took care to hide it though. But, our investigation showed that  you guys aren’t just normal casual players. So all of us too remade our  avatars in order to seriously defeat you guys.」

Ponsuke glared at Cathy.

Cathy folded her arms and laughed.

「If your guild still remain after this, we’ll give you invitation  next time. Let’s do our best to conquer the Capital of Rage together.」

Ponsuke vanished.

(……I can’t believe how thorough their countermeasures for us are)

They had remade their jobs and skills to specialize in facing other  players, and on top of that they also prepared countermeasure against  orc.

For them going that far was only natural.

The hardcore players firmly confirmed that Ponsuke had vanished before starting to move.

「Let’s get there right away. That Tom is only full of hot air and can’t be relied on.」

They had Arcadia completely surrounded, and yet it was their side that got battered.

One of her comrades rested his spear on his shoulder while saying,

「We’ll complete the goddess series with this huh.」

Cathy was already looking forward to it.

「I can’t wait to see just what kind of effect it’ll have. ……Let’s go.」

All of them broke into a run toward Arcadia.
