28 28 301 Kamui shoves his weapon into the ground, using it as a shield and an anchor, reducing all the waves it touches into magical light spots.

30 30 301 RImgBg1Shake Celica's 15th snap comes, sending thundering hooves charging toward the players with enormous power that can trample everything into pieces.
39 39 48 301 But a much stronger force collides with them without hesitation. After a deafening boom, one carriage is smashed into pieces within an instant.
47 47 301 After a beam hits the rolling wheel, a Levi-Gun rams the carriage's side, knocking it onto another charging carriage and causing both to collapse.
48 48 301 Celica curls her index finger one more time. Before the crisp sound hits once again...
56 56 64 301 Wanshi's sniping goggles reflect a glaring flash. A bullet whistles through the air, hitting Celica's right hand. Although it is wrapped inside a shield, her relentless attacks still come to a pause.
62 62 301 A rain of bullets arrives just in time to cover the entire barrier that is protecting Celica. She is unable to move and her relentless attacks are forced to halt.
67 67 301 With sparks around her feet, Lucia crouches and charges like a swift cheetah. She seizes every opportunity to slide her blade through the weak points of all treants.

69 69 301 1 Lucia Commandant! 1
70 70 301 She grabs your hand just like she once did.
71 71 204 1 1
72 72 301 You both look into each other's eyes with a smile. She then tosses you toward Celica. You have been holding your attacks for this very moment.
91 91 301 Dungeon Master Ayla Critical success. Commandant performs an emergency brake, followed by a somersault and a perfect landing.
92 92 301 But all the available attributes show that Gray Raven and Strike Hawk have exhausted all their strength.
93 93 201 1 500001
94 94 301 1 Celica I must give kudos to you, Task Force. Even if this is only the calculated result of a game program, your coordination is flawless. 1
95 95 301 Celica I shall also give you the utmost respect. This will be my final strike to end the game! 1
96 96 301 Celica "O spirits of the raging winds, please return to your celestial dwellings and ring the bell of judgment..." 1
129 129 301 AniZhuanchangBegin Finally, a light pillar shoots up to take all players away from the "danger zone", leaving only Celica behind in a daze.
158 158 301 AniZhuanchangEnd You are standing in a corridor of WGAA. Ayla takes out two cans of drinks from a vintage drink machine and hands one to you.
159 159 302 I never knew WGAA had such a device. 160
160 160 201 1 500110
161 161 301 1 Ayla Oh, it was only recently restored, so we placed it here. 1
162 162 301 Ayla Such devices were created in the Golden Age or even earlier. WGAA loves to see them in use. 1
163 163 301 You pull the ring on the can's lid. The aroma of the soda drink immediately flows out.
164 164 301 Ayla looks around to confirm there is no one else...
165 165 301 Ayla Commandant, do you think it was logical for Task Force and Engineering Force to move separately in the game just now? 1
166 166 302 Why do you suddenly bring this topic up? 167
167 167 301 Ayla Remember I was checking on Karenina earlier? Took me a lot of effort because I wasn't familiar with the landscape. 1
168 168 301 Ayla But maybe it's just my wishful thinking. After all, I'm not a member of the Task Force, and my understanding of tactics is limited to creative works only. 1
169 169 302 Where do you think the problem is then? 170
170 170 301 Ayla Since I'm talking to you, Commandant, I'll just be frank. 1
171 171 301 Ayla The Engineering Force had made an appearance previously, so it was only logical for them to challenge Celica. Gray Raven should be going to the artifact chamber instead because they had never shown up in the capital. 1
172 172 301 Ayla No matter how well Karenina and Teddy could work together, it was too dangerous for them to go alone. 1
173 173 302 That was quite risky indeed. 174
174 174 301 Ayla But Karenina also had a point. Maybe she just didn't think that much given it was only a game. 1
175 175 301 Ayla Gargh! There are so many things I need to consider! 1
176 176 302 Why are you so concerned? 177
177 177 301 Ayla What I fear most is, none of my guesses were correct. They just prefer to stay with those from their own squads. 1
178 178 302 ... 179
179 179 301 Ayla I'm not saying that there is a problem. But each time I try to ask them for opinions, they always tell me they want to spend holidays with their own squads. It just makes me feel a little... lonely? 1
180 180 302 What do you want to do then, Ayla? 181
181 181 301 Ayla Hmm... I think we can try to make some changes! 1
182 182 204 1 1
183 183 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Ayla That's why I have a favor to ask you... 1
