Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 273: Duel tournament tag team match

The next morning, I logged in as usual and convinced Lily and the others not to go see the show.

Yesterday, I was conspicuous with Lily and the others, but that was to persuade them and also to be inconspicuous today. But of course, I couldn't persuade them without a reason.

"Actually, it seems that a dark summoner will appear with a tag this time"

!!?

Everyone was surprised. And then Ion spoke up.

"Then we should go even more! Is that a hindrance?"

"Youre not a hindrance. Ill explain that this dark summoner is different from the one we fought"

Wako is relieved. After all, trauma is not so easy to heal.

"But the bad manners seem to be outstanding. Lily and the others have been involved with a lot of people. That's why I don't want you to hate people"

"I see...I understand what you're saying. But Takuto-sama, you still have something to hide from us, don't you?"

Setia doesn't really see through...maybe I'm just not good...but when this happens, I have to talk.

"In fact, one of the dark summoner's abilities has been discovered. It seems it has the skill to take away the summoner's summoned beast"

!!?!?

Everyone was surprised. I also got a sneak peek from Mel yesterday. When asked about the authenticity of the information, it seems that Rook's orc was killed. Since party changes were not allowed in this tag team battle, Rook was disqualified at this point.

I thought this rule was a measure to deal with late arrivals and the like, but it seems that the dark summoners were also involved.

In addition to Rook, many other summoners had fallen victim to the dark summoners.

This event was the perfect stage for the dark summoners who could take the summoned beasts. After all, the summoners would be tag-teaming with the strongest summoned beast. In a normal battle, there are many of them and the risk of losing is high, but in a tag-team battle, the risk is low and the strongest summoned beast can be obtained.

Lily and the others would definitely be in their sights. Fortunately, the conditions for enslavement are known and the dark summoner needs to defeat the summoned beast.

If that's the case, the best safe bet would be not to take them in the first place. After that, it's best not to fight.

"I see...I understand. I'll be staying at home today"

"Setia-chan!?"

"Lily-sama, Takuto-sama is worried about us. We can't fight right now, so why don't you respect Takuto-sama's wishes today?"

"...Okay"

After Lily broke down, everyone also decided not to participate. I have to thank Setia for that.

After that, I went to the Beastmasters Guild to try to summon a Lesser Ogre. The result was failure. I knew the success rate wasn't good. I met up with Mirai and we headed to the event venue together.

Just like yesterday, the tournament list was displayed. There were two dark summoners among them. Each of them was in a different block. If Mel and the others were to compete, it would be in the semifinals.

And in the tag-team matches, there were still many summoners. The next most common were archers and mages. I guess the strong players who had a hard time in the solo matches were flowing to the tag team matches.

Then the tournament began.

The first thing that caught my attention was the dark summoner. The summoned beast went berserk and attacked both the dark summoner and his opponent. I thought it was the dark summoner's skill, but seeing as how he was also attacked, I'd say it was either the cost of the enslavement skill or the cost of the dark summoner's job title.

Wako was not enslaved and was out of control and the price of the dark summoner was richer.

But after watching these guys fight, I understood what Kaito and Kayo were talking about. These guys are punching and kicking a summoned beast that has gone out of control and it looks like they are completely abusing it.

Malicious behavior is forbidden by the rules of the operation. Still, the only reason it doesn't fall under the rules is because he's being attacked by a runaway summoner. There was no weapon attack or magic used, it was just a single attack. Perhaps excessive attacks are forbidden and cannot be done.

Even so, it's not pleasant to see people punching and kicking a summoned beast that they took from someone because it's being attacked. The admins even set an age limit for spectators, as if they understand this.

The summoner who had to fight the dark summoner gave up easily, fearing that the summoned beast he had carefully nurtured might be stolen. Avoiding the fight was a natural decision, but it must have been boring for the people watching. When it went on again and again, people booed, but those who booed were taken away by NPCs from the Reich Empire and made to leave.

The dark summoners, one of them hit Tristan-san and was killed instantly. However, Tristan-san didn't do anything to him. The moment Tristan's partner drew a card, the dark summoner was dead.

"Arcana of Justice. It's in the right position. It means good deeds. The effect is annihilation of dark enemies. You're out of luck"

That's terrible. What was that effect...Mirai explained.

"...It's the fortune teller's original skill, the divination skill. A tarot card is randomly drawn and depending on the card, it seems to have a variety of effects...the dark horse of this event"

I heard that you can only use it once in a battle, but this is pretty evil. There are some things that can kill an opponent in an instant, like this one. However, if this time justice hits a normal player, it will be a complete dud. There are also other negative effects on them, so it is highly gambling.

But that's why it's so interesting and attracts so much attention. According to Mirai, on the ancient island, all the allies in the reverse position of the Grim Reaper were dead, and all the allies in the positive position of the Hanged Man were in custody. It seems that there were many problems. If I had been able to pull off this righteous effect, I might not have been MVP.

By the way, in the first round, the lover card was reversed, and the fortune teller was on the enemy side. While the opponent was confused by the sudden situation, Tristan-san's Arrow Rain exploded without question and the fortune teller was also hit by Arrow Rain and died.

Mel and the others are also winning. Tyrol was hit by a dark summoner and gave up. From the looks of it, she wanted to fight, but from the way she gave up, it looks like Rook asked her to give up.

The morning was over and I was walking through the city to log out when I heard a vulgar voice.

"Oh dear. You summoners are so boring, all you do is give up"

"Don't say that. It's because we're too strong"

I don't know what you're talking about, the guy who died from the fortune-telling result is too strong. Anyway, it's okay for these guys to go out of the Colosseum normally even though they are wanted.

"I'm sure the rumored young girl summoner is no big deal either!"

Hearing these words, Mirai showed her anger, but I stopped her.

"I'm glad you're angry, but this is the ramblings of a weakling. Don't take it personally"

"...Yeah"

As we walked away, we were approached by a female player with black hair and wearing a Chinese dress.

"Oh? Are you a couple players?"

"Yes"

Mirai, you're not, are you? Why did you answer immediately?

"I'm sorry...but I'm here for that elder brother. Can I talk to you for a minute?"

This player...is strange. I found out yesterday that there are Chinese clothes, but this girl seems to be wearing them as her normal clothes. Although the player has quite a bit of money, everyone is still spending money on equipment. Of course, there may be exceptions, but...the timing of this is suspicious.

"I can't do it. We're going to have lunch now"

"I'll buy you a drink, elder sister knows a good place"

"...How do you know we're not from the Reich Empire?"

She stopped moving.

"It's because I have never seen you in the Reich Empire"

"What kind of errands will happen to strangers...I hate women like you. I'm sorry, but you'll have to find someone else"

"I'm sorry...but I can't be bothered with all the interruptions"

When a black aura is emitted from the female player, the icon indicating the player becomes an NPC. You can do this...it's tricky...and I know someone who can do this.

"You're Druj Nasu?"

"Well? I don't know"

A stranger's voice rang out in the midst of a quick-fire situation.

"Oh dear...we're in the middle of an event and we shouldn't be fighting"

Behind us was the winner of the single duel tournament, the samurai player.

"Young lady, give up today...or you'll have to fight me"

Druj Nasu, hearing this, glared at the samurai viciously and disappeared from the scene.

"I'm sorry...but you saved my life"

"...Thank you"

The samurai waved his hand as we thanked him.

"Ah, that's fine. I just didn't want to ruin the festivities, that's all. Do you need my self-introduction?"

"Yes. Congratulations on winning the event. "Congratulations on winning the event, Tetsushin-san the Samurai"

"Haha, thanks"

Mirai corrects when I say the name.

"No, it's not. Tetsushin the vagabond or Tetsushin the slayer of all things is correct"

"Isn't he right there? I just don't like what the board calls him"

"...Disappointing"

Mirai apparently likes the bulletin board better.

"I'm sorry, but can you tell me your name? I know the name of the young girl summoner, but I don't know the player name"

So sad! Am I going to have to keep being called by that name? Then Mirai told me.

"They call you strategist summoner, burning summoner, berserk summoner, right?"

"Thank you for telling me, but I reject all of them"

"Eh~"

Mirai said, but it was obvious that she was messing with me. Then, Tetsushin laughed at me. I regained my composure and introduced myself.

"I'm Takuto, the summoner"

"Im Mirai, his lover"

Mirai, aren't you trying to make an established fact? Let me correct it.

"Hahaha! You guys are so close! Once again, I am the samurai Tetsushin. I've always wanted to have a hand in business with you"

"Me too. I can't fight well at the moment, but if the opportunity arises, I would love to. I would be happy to fight you with my katana"

"Hou...I'm looking forward to it. I'm also interested in magic swords, but I can't resist the lure of the katana"

We hit it off so well that we decided to watch the afternoon match together. Then we parted ways for lunch. But we didn't leave, we came to the Adventurer's Guild of the Reich Empire. That's how I found out that the wanted list for the dark-fallen players was only voided during the event.

The appearance of Druj Nasu is all suspicious. I'm going to have to be careful this afternoon.
