Can someone in MyGo stay in an adventure group forever?

Koshimura placed his hand on the statue to sense it.

"In the next three battles, all damage dealt by friendly units will be increased by 30% (rounded up)."

“Not bad…” Shiina Tatsuki said, instinctively reaching down to pick up the sword that had just fallen to the ground.

But she froze halfway down, then quickly straightened her back and reached out to retrieve the sword.

"Hurry up and take care of the 'Lord'!" She walked quickly to Yuecunze's side and said, her eyes darting around, "Then exit this simulation immediately!"

“Um…” Koshimura couldn’t help but glance at her. “I remember you… weren’t you unable to walk normally just now?”

"Just...just now..." Shiina Tatsuki's face flushed even more instantly, her voice barely audible, "It seems...I accidentally...let a little bit slip out..."

Koshimura glanced down at his pants instinctively.

Was that warm, damp sensation just my imagination?

"Fine! Anyway, it won't affect your physical health in real life!" Shiina Riki shouted in embarrassment and annoyance, trying to cover up her embarrassment with anger.

The implication is that it has an impact on you in real life, right...?

The look in Yuecun Ze's eyes became more complicated, a mixture of four parts sympathy, three parts embarrassment, and three parts understanding.

[This part of the color palette is also called "Finally, Medical Three-Nine"]

"Are we going to leave or not?!" Shiina Riki stamped her foot and said anxiously.

"Let's go, let's go." Yuecunze quickly brought up the system interface. "To save time, I'll activate the speed boost. We might not be able to communicate properly in accelerated mode, so the rest of the battle will rely entirely on our previous teamwork..."

"Huh?" Shiina Ritsuki paused for a moment, then her face lit up with immense joy at having escaped a desperate situation. "Oh right! There's also the gear shifter! Koshimura Sawa, you're amazing—"

Her smile froze on her face.

His expression gradually cooled, and his suspicious gaze pierced Koshimura Sawa like an ice pick.

"Wait." Her voice gradually turned cold, carrying a hint of danger. "Then why didn't you open it just now?"

"I just remembered that, didn't I?" Koshimura's eyes began to dart around, and his tone became guilty. "Besides... I'm not sure if the 30 seconds it determines are 30 seconds of real time or 30 seconds of accelerated time, right? Wouldn't it be even more troublesome if it failed—"

"you--!"

"Lixi." Yuecunze abruptly interrupted her, his hand hovering over the start button on the gearshift, turning to look at her, taking a deep breath, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect your innocence—"

"I absolutely will not let you spill another drop!!!"

Shiina Tatsuki: "Huh—?!"

Her scream, along with the action of Yuecunze pressing the accelerator button, completely dissipated into the suddenly accelerating void.

Chapter Sixteen Taking advantage of the chaos, three deaths occurred. Qiwoer seemed to have escaped this calamity.

2 winged kobolds, 1 kobold inventor, 1 kobold dragon shield guard...

Sure enough, as they approached the area where the [Lord] was located, the strength of the monsters also increased significantly.

Koshimura glanced back at the corpse on the ground that was gradually turning into specks of light and disappearing, and let out a long breath.

3x speed... that's the limit his nerve reflex speed can currently support.

At such a high speed, there's no longer any time to worry about the original observation, judgment, decision-making, and action processes.

Almost the instant you entered the area, the monster was already right in front of you.

There was no planning for the situation, no allocation of magic, no strategy for dealing with the enemy; all that remained was pure instinct and the thrill of battle.

Koshimura Sawa deactivated the gear shift and looked at Shiina Tatsuki, who was leaning against the rock wall, supporting himself with his longsword.

Her breathing was slightly rapid, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, sticking her messy black bangs together.

"Lixi, can you still hold on?" he asked with concern.

"I...I'm fine for now," Shiina Ritsuki replied with a barely suppressed tremor in her voice.

What kind of monster is this person?!

Why can he handle 3x speed acceleration so effortlessly?

Just how high did he stack his agility attribute?

Even though she was facing monsters with a challenge level of no more than 1, she was already starting to feel the strain at 3x speed.

If it weren't for the 30% damage bonus provided by the blessing, which basically guarantees a one-hit kill, she probably would have already been surrounded by monsters because she didn't plan the order of killing in advance and rushed in recklessly.

and...

In this state, she wouldn't dare to swing her sword forcefully or make any large movements!

Shiina Tatsuki opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just swallowed hard and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth. Her legs tightened even more imperceptibly.

Looking at her like this, Yuecun Ze sighed helplessly.

"If you're not good at talking, don't force yourself. Let's hurry to the next section."

Shiina Riki paused for a moment, then quickly nodded.

Koshimura Sawa activated the speed boost again, increasing the speed to 3 times and rushing towards the passage ahead.

If the next area is not the lord's territory... the blessing effect will expire.

Hopefully, I'll be luckier this time...

The thought had barely formed when he was met with the roar of a giant sword and an angry howl.

After being sped up, it sounds like the kind of sound some of the electric toys sold on Pinduoduo for 9.9 yuan with free shipping, which is kind of funny.

Before Koshimura could even complain, he quickly activated [Strange Step] to retreat from his original position, narrowly avoiding the attack.

He stared intently at the enemy, whose size was noticeably larger than any of the previous monsters.

Red skin...that's a racial trait, and half-body plate armor, is he a goblin?

No... it should be the Goblin Commander.

Ha, a mere level 3 monster? Do you think I'm afraid of you?

It's worth noting that the Phase Spider Dung Monster, also a Challenge Level 3 monster, is far more powerful than the Goblin Commander.

And those were just opponents he could have defeated at level 2.

Not to mention that when alone and without other goblins around, the great goblin's abilities such as "Army Advantage" and "Leadership" are unusable; it's just a white-grade elite monster with slightly higher stats.

Even at 3x speed—

call out!

A javelin hurtling towards them from afar rapidly magnified in Koshimura's field of vision, its metallic tip gleaming with a deadly cold light.

Oh my god, I forgot he can also attack from a distance.

Is it too late to cast [Shield] now?

Just as Koshimura Sawa placed his hand on the strings, the javelin was less than 5cm away from his nose.

I'm sorry... Lixi, it seems I have to break my promise...

clang--

The metallic clanging sound became exceptionally crisp and high-pitched after being accelerated.

At the critical moment, a longsword suddenly appeared, deflecting the flying javelin and landing steadily in front of Koshimura.

Koshimura stared blankly at the high ponytail that was raised and the familiar black and white shadow.

--I see.

Although the body cannot engage in strenuous activities, controlling the echo with the mind is still no problem!

Lixi, you're saved!

Standing at the entrance, Shiina Tatsuki, who had been nervously placing his hand on his longsword, breathed a sigh of relief.

That way... I won't have let you down for calling me a "trustworthy companion," right?

With a firm resolve, Yuecun Ze immediately plucked the strings of his zither, swiftly casting the [Cursed Sword Curse] and [Vulnerability Curse] on the distant earthbill commander.

Immediately afterwards, the energy of the shadow gathered in his left hand, condensing into the sharp [Shadow Blade].

At the same time, the goblin commander had already taken the shield off his back, gripped it tightly in his left hand, and roared as he launched another charge.

Shiina Riki lightly flicked the sword.

Echo, who was blocking Eshimura's path, immediately stepped forward without fear and swung his sword to meet the attack.

The swords clashed violently, sparks flying everywhere.

However, due to its overwhelming weight advantage, Echo was forced to retreat repeatedly.

Taking advantage of her moment of weakness, the gnome commander slammed his shield forward with a heavy blow, causing the echo to stagger backward.

Just as the echo was repelled, Koshimura Sawa moved!

Unlike goblins, which are classified as small humanoids, large goblins belong to the category of medium-sized humanoids.

—And this is precisely the body type that Koshimura Sawa is most familiar with.

Although the greatsword in his opponent's hand was swinging so fast that it left afterimages, pouring down on him like a storm, Koshimura always managed to dodge his sword strikes by the slightest margin.

In addition to the predictions made through parallel thinking, the long-accumulated experience in combat against people finally came into play.

Compared to a formidable opponent who skillfully employs various tactics, feints, and special abilities, the goblin who only recklessly wields his sword is utterly insignificant.

A scorching flame suddenly ignited on the Star Edge in his right hand, and he slashed at the opponent's wooden-edged shield.

The flames spread rapidly, and the heat passed through the shield to the back, forcing the goblin to hurriedly throw off the burning shield and begin to grip the greatsword with both hands.

Without the protection of the shield, the sudden increase in strength from gripping it with both hands forced Koshimura to temporarily avoid the attack and take a step back.

But just as the shield hit the ground, Echo, controlled by Shiina Riki, had already regained its posture and appeared behind the Goblin Commander like a ghost, its sharp sword slashing down fiercely with a whooshing sound!

Since the Earthbow Commander is currently positioned between the line connecting Yuecunze and Echo, according to the rules of [Flanking], any melee attack launched against him by either of them will have an advantage.

Although when the flanking rule is generally active, the probability of being flanked by the enemy is much higher than the probability of flanking the enemy, this does not prevent flanking from being the simplest, most cost-effective, and most efficient way to create an advantage in 5e.

Faced with attacks coming from both the front and back simultaneously, the earthbill commander could only parry Koshimura's [Star's Edge] with his sword, but he could no longer dodge the fatal blow from behind—

puff!

The longsword in Echo's hand pierced the gap in the armor, and blood splattered everywhere instantly.

But Koshimura Sawa would not let this golden opportunity slip by, and immediately pressed his advantage.

The flames on the Star Edge suddenly went out, and in their place, jet-black lightning shone from the Shadow Blade in his left hand.

Do you like wearing nail polish?

How about my 100,000 Volts move?!

The jet-black blade bypassed the greatsword that was locked in a fierce stalemate with Star's Edge, piercing through the armor as a piercing crackling sound of electricity followed.

The lightning passed through his metal armor and instantly traveled to his massive body.

Perhaps because of its high physical strength, the goblin's movements were not immediately paralyzed.

However, the greatsword he held in his right hand loosened its grip for a moment due to the pain of being pierced by the Shadow Blade, allowing Koshimura to draw out the Star Blade that had been blocked.

In that split second, a cold longsword suddenly pressed against the goblin's neck.

Next up was Star Edge, which arrived a little late.

Blades crisscrossed.

It emitted a piercing metallic hiss, like scissors.

The goblin chieftain's enormous head flew off with a thud, and his heavy body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Pitch-black, solidified energy began to converge from all directions, eventually condensing into a constantly writhing pitch-black sphere in the center of the space.

This is...the core of the void?

"Finally...it's over..." Shiina Tatsuki let out a long sigh, as if all her strength had been drained away. She could no longer hold on and collapsed weakly to the ground, her voice trembling with relief, "Quickly...destroy the core..."

Yuecun Ze dared not delay and quickly stepped forward, swinging his sword to strike the black sphere fiercely.
