Vol. 6 - Chapter 342 - End Phase - PvP Battle.

Finally, we are in the end phase of the guild battle.

Score as of now was ‹White - 11,950P vs Red - 7270P›, a total difference of ‹4620P›.

Out of 5 Big Castles, 3 are under White while 2 under Red.

The gap between ‹Eden› and ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› was gradually coming out.

35 minutes have already passed, with just 10 minutes remaining before a winner is decided. In the end [hase, the core tactic revolves around maintaining the status quo and arrangements of one's own squares as well as the squares in protection period.

All that's left to see ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› can win is to take down the ‹Eden› base in the remaining 2 minutes of the guild battle, whether or not they can do it will be a decisive factor. To achieve this, they have to snatch the squares that are in the proximity of base to their side in the remaining time until the last two minutes.

A team's base is usually protected by a barrier of some kind which I am not completely sure, but to bring down that barrier, the opponent team would have to snatch the adjacent squares, which will disperse the barrier, and make it possible to mount their raid on it.

This is the optimal plan ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› would want to achieve.

In contrast, ‹Eden› plan is to seize their squares while forming a layer of own white squares as a wall to prevent them from capturing it.

And right now, in the northern area where ‹Eden› base is, a huge reversal was taking place.

"Celia-san, please take care of 2 squares in the north! Celestine-san, please handle the one in the southeast! Pamela-san and Shizu-san, please head to Southwest square!"

As the ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› were paving their path to the white base, ‹Eden› was running around to keep them at bay. It was basically a one sided suppression.

With ‹Master-Planner Princess› and ‹Dragon's Miniature Garden›, it would have been strange if not in contrast. As if this wasn't already enough, they have even lost some of their members, ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› were being gradually cornered.

‹Eden›, meanwhile, was efficiently capturing the squares under the instruction of Rina. The northern area was already dyed in white, while the red squares of our opponent were dwindling down.

It was just a moment of time before they were to be chased away from the northern area as well if they didn't do anything soon.

Currently, the majority of the ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› members has managed to gain a foothold, but in all honesty, a future where they can get hold of the command tower looks bleaker than a withered tree in the heart of winter.

There's still one way ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star› can try to win, and that's to take down all the Big Castle; though this is the talk of never happening fantasy.

After all, they are standing at such a precipice that a single Big Castle takeaway from them spells their defeat. In short, one life among ten deaths is a grim reality for them.

They neither have sufficient time, nor battle power.

——However, not enough. This is just tasteless like an unsalted cracker.

Guild battle simply doesn't have the two teams participating. There are also audiences watching over them.

Comments are flooding out from them. It is a stage where the audience is fervently cheering.

A bland, expected ending like this is just too anticlimactic for their enjoyment.

"Rina. I am also heading out."

"Zephyr-san too?"

What I wish for is splendor. The splendor that makes the audience excited like a roaring inferno.

And speaking of it in the guild battle, it's of course a good ol' PvP battle. I have been itching for a PvP battle climax for a while.

So far, it was mostly a one-sided development. There were also some exciting parts, and overwhelming opponent with our strategist was also pretty good.

But I am sure if given a choice, both guilds would want to have it; a PvP battle.

For Saturn and others, this is where they can make a comeback if they manage to win, while <Eden> already has guild battle basically in our bag. That's why. This is why I think there can't be any better time to have a passionate battle.

"Rina, here, here and here. Gather everyone who wants to fight."

"Ah, but are you sure? Even if we don't do anything, it will still be our win."

As expected of her. She immediately understood my intention and asked back.

However, I am sorry Rina. Even though you worked hard to create this advantageous field for us. I can have the leeway to do all this because of her hard work.

The fruit of victory we are enjoying is all her achievement.

"Well then, I am leaving the rest to you. Rina."

Leaving behind these words, I arrived at the place near the central squares where Rina, Shizu and Pamela are holding back Saturn, Tom and Polish.

It seems like battle has already begun. Saturn team, unable to cross the wall of Lana and others, is being held back.

"Damn! If only, if only we can get past this!"

"We're running out of time. Shall we mount a suicide attack!?"

"Ugh, we are not going to overturn the outcome at this rate! What is your order, Saturn!"

"Grrrrh Since stopping is not an option, might as well bulldoze through it! Call in our base reserve force! We are going to take down our enemy's base!"

Saturn and others quickly sprung up to take their respective action as they shouted so.

......Has the thought that shouting like this will expose their plan to their opponent as well never crossed their mind?

"A wishful thinking you have there!"

And sure enough, Lana comes out from the shadow of the squares that were under protection period, with her hands on her waist, taking an imposing pose.

A bitter expression appeared on Saturn and his comrades' faces.

‹Best of the Best, the Great Star›, after being blocked by Lana and others following my instructions, have fallen into a dilemma.

Judging from their earlier discussion, their plan was to bring out reserved members as well to increase battle power even if it meant leaving their base defenseless, and breakthrough from here towards our base.

Well, I expected the situation to turn out like this.

"I haven't kept you waiting for longer, have I?"

"Zephyr! Don't you need to defend the base?"

"Same-desu! Is there no need to seize squares-desu?"

"Thanks for your effort, Pamela and Sizu. It's fine since we are going to defeat them either way! Let's send them to ‹Loser's Room›."

"Fufu. Just leave this to me!"

With these words, Lana rested a vaguely familiar looking mace on her shoulder.

As someone who always had talisman-type equipment, that mace stood in stark contrast to her.

I didn't even have to guess hard about her intention.

"This mace is really something for beating. I borrowed it from Hannah."

"......I see."

So I was right in thinking it looks familiar, nevertheless, Hannah's huh. I think she named it Mei-chan No.2?

I turned to look at the pitiful Saturn and others, who had their faces dyed red from trying to make a breakthrough as they took notice of our action.

"You scoundrel! Don't you dare look at me with such pitiful eyes."

"Damn you, How humiliating!"

"Stop, reign in your feelings! They're four, we have to wait for reinforcement!"

Polish barely managed to stop Saturn and Tom and who looked ready to jump at me any time.

Nice decision, Polish. They can try all this want but they can't put a scratch against us, whether it is in terms of levels or members normally.

The correct option is to wait for reinforcement. Well, not that we need to wait.

"Let's start. ‹Grenade›!"

"Here comes their attack! Dodge themmmmm!!

Shizu heartlessly triggered the grenade, causing a loud explosion.

The grenade fired from the muzzle flew in an arc toward Tom.

Tom had tried to evade immediately as soon as Polish's shout reached his ears, but——

"‹Ninja Technique - Shadow Bind›-desu!"

"Ghhhh, my legs are feeling slow——!"

However Tom was struck with ‹Bind› state at the merciless support of Pamela, delaying his escape.

Soon the grenade fired by Shizu hit Tom, and exploded.

"Gahhhhh!?"

"Tom!? Are you alright!?"

"Cough Guh. Y, Yeah, somehow. I would have dropped dead there without my trained muscles. Polish, heal me."

"T, That's quite a sturdy muscle you have. It's a relief you are alright, ‹Mega Heal›."

So there was truth in the words that by developing muscles, one can survive even after being caught up in a grenade explosion, eh?

Polish casted healing magic on Tom who survived the attack, albeit leaving his back vulnerable to attacks.

"‹Lightning——"

"Not in my watch! ‹Flare›!"

I was about to sweep them with ‹Lightning Burst› when Saturn attacked, so I had to cancel it and dodge.

"Great move, Saturn!"

"Be more vary about the surroundings."

My ‹Lightning Burst› is a third order skill tree magic so it takes a bit of time to activate it, and ‹Flare› being Intermediate lower-grade magic, it has faster activation time. Glad to see he is properly putting my teaching into use.

"You saved me there, Saturn."

"As expected of our leader"

When Tom and Polish said their thanks, Saturn's bad habit rear its ugly head here.

"Hmph, that was nothing much."

"‹Shining Sabre of the Sacred Light›!"

"Guooohhh!?"

" "Saturn!?" "

As soon as Saturn had put up a haughty smile, his pride stroked by their praise, Lana's strongest move struck him. A thunderous blast reverberated, propelling him backward and causing him to spin and tumble uncontrollably in its wake.

"His smile irked me just now! ‹Light Blade›!"

"‹Rapid Shot›!"

"‹Giant Shuriken Art›-desu!"

" "Gahhhhh!!!!"

Following him, the combination of Lana, Shizu and Pamela's attack assaulted Tom and Polish.

The two focused on dodging them and barely managed to survive.

"Uooooh. Get your act together, Saturn! ‹Heal›! ‹High Heal›!"

"Guh, I let down my guard! I would have been insta-killed if I hadn't improved my resistance."

Even with Tom attempting to take advantage of the situation in this confusion, Saturn and his comrades couldn't make us budge.

"If I can just somehow breach their defense!"

"Not in my wake, ‹Barrage›!"

"Gaaaaah!?"

He was pushed back by Shizu's gun skill ‹Barrage› from her direction. It doesn't seem like they can make a breakthrough no matter how much they try.

I glanced at Mei-chan Ver.2 in Lana's hand that was shining ominously. Just a little more and Saturn and his comrades are going to face the dread the earlier team had faced.

"We keep you waiting, Saturn! But fret not, We have arrived!"

"Let us handle this scene!"

"I didn't expect Brave to directly come out in person. The time to swing these fists has finally come."

Or probably not, the reinforcement arrived just when we were about to deal a decisive blow to them.

Three figures appeared from the south.

First one was the same second year student, ‹Reckless Wizard›, who had been gagged and tied just before the guild battle started. Second was another second year student with a smooth sparkling bald head, ‹Dangerous Monk›.

And finally, the last one, who was yet another second year student, was ‹Punching Magician› as he fluttered his jet-black cloak while performing shadow boxing with taping coiled around his fist.

They were the reinforcement of ‹Best of the Best, the Great Star›. (Reinforcement?)

....... All three of them have troll jobs, can they even handle the situation?
