Samurai's level has increased by 2. That's all. This was due to focusing on weaker enemies and not including Samurai in the party. It seems that when a tamed monster is in the party, the experience points are split among all members.

To ensure Liora was ready in time, we had no choice but to leave Samurai out. Ideally, we wanted to raise Samurai's level by one more, which would have unlocked a new skill. It's truly unfortunate.

"The strengthening phase is over. Now, let's go wild in actual combat…"

I eagerly pressed the "Participate in Event" button.

[Transporting to desginated location…]

In the pure white space, sixty participants have gathered. There is no visible end to this space. The ceiling height is indeterminate, and the floor seems to be floating in mid-air.

Among the blinding white, elves, humans, beastkin, and dwarves of all ages and genders were present.

"Wow, it feels like a Raid battle is about to start, myun! Myun! Is everyone watching? The event is about to start. For those who watch my stream while participation in the game, be sure to watch my stream without dying! No causing trouble, okay?"

The one chattering away using the [Manifestation] skill despite no enemies being around was a girl who looked like an angel at first glance. She had a halo above her head, large wings on her back, and her white hair was intricately tied.

I've seen her in a commercial before. She must be Archangel Myumyu. Given that raid teams are randomly assembled, it's no surprise to see someone like her.

"I sensed this from the commercial but it's annoying how her voice sounds just like my neighbor's. It's not her fault, though…wait could it be…?"

"God?"

"No, let's start preparing for battle as well."

At that moment, Archangel Myumyu and Liora's eyes met for just a second. However, she quickly looked away with a startled expression and whispered something into the camera. Curious, I decided to watch Archangel Myumyu's stream.

"Oh, wow, Liora is here! But I got turned down for a collab on the forum before… so I won't be showing her on the stream."

"Though, don't worry, I'll use the stream's mosaic function. So you will still get coverage of her movements and battle play!!!"

Archangel Myumyu remembered and announced. She was being considerate. I felt a little sorry. After all, since "other players" would expose her anyway, only Archangel Myumyu's stream would have the mosaic.

Since I plan to fight on the front lines, it would make for a rather difficult-to-watch stream.

…It can't be helped. I typed a message into the rapidly flowing chat.

User [Zephyr]

"Since I'll be exposed anyway, you don't need the mosaic."

The message quickly got lost in the fast chat. A few people noticed it, but it couldn't be helped. I decided to pay for my comment to stand out.

You can spend up to 10,000 Rupees to highlight your comment. This makes the chat message stand out by changing its color. This feature is called Ultra Chat, or Ultra for short.

Reluctantly, I spent 10,000 Rupees. Why am I doing this… It's not like I am her fan.

Archangel Myumyu noticed my comment.

"Oh, they said no mosaic needed! Thanks for the permission and Ultra Chat, Zephyr! Everyone, you'll be able to see Liora in action!"

The chat erupted with "Woohoo!" Some extreme fans were upset, saying things like "A viewer shouldn't seek attention. Using Ultra Chat for this!" I've taken note of their names.

I dislike them! I dislike my former work associates, my neighbors, and then you, sidekicks! 'Just you guys wait and see!!'

?

My channel, [Liora Eats a Lot], has already become a popular channel with over 100,000 subscribers. We were also the first to defeat a field boss in this game.

Due to the nature of this event, prominent characters might get called out. But this time, it was unexpected.

In front of the small Liora, eight men and women stood in a line, striking poses. In unison, they shouted,

"We are of the strike clan – [Destruction Society]! The eight executives, the [Eight Destruction Members]!!"

Then, one by one, they began their introductions with original poses.

"First Destruction—Breaking Destruction Ozma!"

"Second Destruction—Magic Destruction Plan!"

"Third Destruction—Dust Destruction Greed!"

"Fourth Destruction—Annihilation Destruction Franzman!"

"Fifth Destruction—Raging Destruction Do!"

"Sixth Destruction—Punching Destruction Melon!!"

"Seventh Destruction—Melting Destruction Lagna!"

"Eighth Destruction—Piercing Destruction Elenora!"

As soon as they finished introducing themselves, a player who had been secretly [Manifested] behind them set off an explosive. With a loud bang, they struck a new pose.

He seems to be the spirit of these eight NPCs. What a strange group. They don't seem like bad people, though.

"Liora, say something to them."

"Yes, God."

After clearing her throat, Liora declared,

"I am Liora. I don't destroy. I just kill."

"Wow! That sounds cool."

"Wow! As expected of the Liberator! Her words carry weight!"

They seem to like her. Well, that's fine.

Among the sixty participants, it seems the prominent players are Archangel Myumyu's team (with a massive audience supporting her, and a few detractors who can't do much about it) and the Eight Destruction Members.

We, however, are solo. We might be considered baggage in a raid.

[Hey, hey, players!]

[It's your idol, The World!]

[Thanks for gathering for the sake of the world today!]

[I'm sure everyone wants to hear more from The World, but]

[We're starting right away! Good luck!]

Then, above the sixty of us, we saw a giant mass of flesh falling from hundreds of meters in the sky. It was so massive and so distant that it completely threw off our sense of scale.

"Liora, let's run."

"Yes, God!"

Seeing Liora sprinting at full speed, several players started running too. It was difficult to coordinate all sixty people, but Archangel Myumyu's charisma led many to flee.

—Boom.

The ground shook violently, and many NPCs fell to the floor. Liora jumped to avoid the impact.

Amazing.

I appraised the situation.

Name: [Garmer] Gender: [Male]

Level: [100] Species: [Emperor Orc]

Magic: [Earth Magic]

Skills: [Destruction Technique 100] [Martial Arts 100] [Armor 100] [Violence Boost] [Attack Boost] [Roaring Technique 100] [Iron Fist] [Heavy Strike] [Magic Resistance] [Offense-Defense Technique 100] [Sensory Increase]

Stats: Attack [1500] Magic Attack [100] Endurance [800] Agility [500] Luck [500]

Unique Skill: [Leader]

A monster-like enemy with overwhelming stats stood over us, exuding a terrifying aura that starkly emphasized our inferiority. This VRMMO's high quality made it clear.

We cannot win this.

My whole body began to tremble, and I couldn't move. The surrounding NPCs also seemed to have their spirits broken, falling to their knees and groaning in agony.

"Oh, no…"

"I'll go. Yes!"

While most were speechless and immobile, a single girl's eyes gleamed. Those eyes were like those of a hunting beast.

No! Liora's eyes were swirling with fervor. All for one thing,

"God will praise me… for killing a strong enemy!"

Leaving the other 59 behind, the death-reaping girl charged solo at the raid boss.
