Reincarnated in the game world ~ A gamer's beginning to [Dungeon job hunting recommendation]-Chapter 585Vol. 11 - - Alliance vs United Front! Bone Appetit (?)

With the intervention of Zephyr, Class-8 succeeded in gaining the valuable break they'd need from their opponent to arrive at the edge of the square, and regroup with the rest of members.

Meanwhile, Zephyr and others instantly became the alliance's number one priority, however Sierra steps in to shield them, while Class-8 took this opportunity to re-adjust their formation.

The two classes, Class-1 and Class-8, joined hands for a united front. Their first task was to hold on the frontline at the edge of the square, and regroup their formation.

They'd then wait until Rina's unique skill duration was continuing, and then launch an offense on alliance once the buff had been cut off.

"Fire the Ballista! They're no Machos! They should get blown by th—!?"

Riyana commanded from the top of, and promptly had «Ballista» shot down the enemies.

She believed it was going to be a success this time, telling herself that there must have been something wrong that Machos somehow fended off the literal shots. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

However her voice had just dropped when a big, sparkling sword fell from the sky and on the fortress.

"Leader! Ballista here has been destroyed! We have no more workable Ballista!"

They'd already lost four of their Ballista against Machos earlier, and the surprise attack struck the final one down for them.

Riyana barely controlled her bitterness, her cheek's muscle jumping from her inner turmoil

"They're trying to drag the battle, awaiting the chance when Ekatrina-dono's buff duration is over! Keep charging at them! Do not hold back!"

On the other hand, Lamda commanded the square unit at the base of the fortress, and guided them to launch an offense on the opponent.

They ended up stepping outside of the fortress's square, however the same couldn't be said about the long range attackers. Sinces spells effectiveness drops down outside of respective range, it was impossible to pin down Class-1. Ultimately, they the opponent groups managed to endure Rina's unique skill

As soon as this happened, the momentum of force under Lamda dropped sharply.

"The effect has been cut off, huh. —«Sacred Sword Manifest - Absolute Slash»! Everyone, immediately fall back to the fortress!"

"Hurray, now it's our turn to give them the taste of their medicine!"

And soon, the reign of battlefield fell on the lap of Class-1 and Class-8. However they didn't haphazardly chased after them this occasion, but made sure their formation were solid before charging forth.

◇◇◇

"Lana!"

"Noel."

" "We need buffs." "

Mert and mine command filled the air, and soon a wave of buff engulfed everyone.

Lana's skill buffed everyone of Class-1, while Noel managed to catch most of Class-8 students in the range. After prompt healing, and everyone in their position, the two classes kept tanks at the frontline and inches toward the fortress.

"They're here! Attack!"

The defender side followed with ranged attacks on the invaders. A perfectly replicated textbook example.

"It's your turn, Sierra."

"Leave it to me. —«Quad Aegis of Virtues»! —«Shield Cover»!"

Sierra's voice resounded in the area as she activated her skills.

The autonomous shields took a defense formation and flew forward to fend off incoming attacks. Albeit, due to the sheer volume of attacks, she was unable to defend against every attack, Overall, Sierr's shield easily cut down on 70% of the attacks.

The alliance side was thoroughly astonished that a single tank foiled their onslaught.

"N-no way she did it alone?!"

"She stopped that much!?"

"Is...is this the power of an advanced job?! The «Shield Princes Sierra»!?"

*Fuhahaha! Yes, be dazzled by the spectacular performance, for this is the splendor of «Sanctified Shield Princess»!*

"Don't lose yourself in the situation yet, everyone! Please look at the right wind! It has been in shamble due to lack of defense! We still put down one of them!"

However just as the alliance was shaken, the voice of Riyana resounded to be the pillar of their support. 'Ah,' a gasped escaped from everyone when they realised the full picture.

They looked at the pointed direction, and sure enough, they could see the effect of their concentrated fire. Sierra was only to defend 70% of the formation by herself, but that was her limit. The effect was more prominent in Class-8's direction—a reason was the alliance's bulk of attack was directed on them to make sure Sierra didn't manage to defend them too.

Class-8 had been eliminated. And had it not for Sierra, the opponent's loss would've been devastating.

The realisation finally dawned on the alliance. Indeed, Sierra wasn't omnipotent enough to defend all, and she had to deal with the limit of a single person too. With these thoughts swirling inside every alliance member, their momentum rose up.

Riyana's remark was super effective.

"Prepare for the second volley of fire! —And, fire!!"

As the one who had made it to the finals, their training was apparent as they barely took a moment in switching their mentality before launching their second volley of attack under Lamda's command.

*Surely, after using the «Shield Cover», that skill should be out of option to use.*

◇◇◇

The shields hovering above Sierra's head as she took the lead fended off any incoming attack.

" " "Woahh!?" " "

An astonished yelp escaped from our collaborator, Class-8, as they witnessed the scene. Well, I would've been surprised to see the storm of attack being so easily handled if I hadn't known better myself.

"A-are advanced job tanks this strong?"

Lacritta also appeared amazed. Ah, right. It must have been her first time witnessing Sierra's skill. Both of them were tanks, so we had never run a double tank team composition. She was apparently more focused on the auto shield nature of Sierra's autonomous shields.

"They're getting ready for the second wave of attack. Lacritta, are you ready?"

"I-I am!"

Lacritta stiffened as I raised my voice. She must have sensed the expectations on her, so a tension ran through her.

She was second shielder to replace Sierra once she had done her work on first wave.

"Switch! Do it now, Lacritta!"

"Pon! Appear, Phantasmal Giant—«Giant Mirage Racoon»!"

She already knew that would be her task, so Lacritta stood a few steps ahead of Sierra and unleashed her skill; a giant racoon's illusion appeared, immediately turning the heads of concentrated fire toward itself.

"Aaah?!"

"What the heck is that?!"

"A big racoon?!"

"Hmph, but it would surely be pulverised in an instant."

"Hey, look closely. It's changing our attack's direction!"

With Lacritta invoking her skill, an approx 10m giant raccoon manifested, standing on its two legs, and the rain of attacks changed their trajectory toward it, as if they were being sucked inside a tornado. In the end, the same attack then disappeared into an unknown direction.

Giant Racoon had barely lasted two seconds before the accumulated damage exceeded its endurance, however it'd fill the role it was needed to; the single skill managed to turn 60% of the attack into waste.

It was a repeat of an earlier situation. Lacritta was also seen with the same gaze everyone—the alliance and united front—had been giving Sierra.

After withstanding subsequent waves of attack, the United Front finally found its moment to counter attack.

◇◇◇

The two classes had crossed the boundary of the square, and were barely a few seconds apart from clashing.

Lamda had already begun to command the alliance in lieu of them.

"Keep up with the formation! Just don't lose yourself to the confusion! Keep it in mind that the fortress here would provide support!"

The assault squad, led by Lamda, followed his instruction and formed a ring at the centre of the fortress. It was to make sure the ranged attacks from the top of the fortress didn't roll them in.

For a while, each side confronted the other with long-range attacks as the distance between them gradually closed, and once it was close enough, the melee attackers of the united front stepped past their tanks and took the lead.

—Brave was at the very forefront.

"Well then, let's get the game rolling! It's really great that you have served everything for us on a silver platter to take! Thank you for the full-course meal, Rina! —«Thunderbolt»!"

The hit from fourth order skill slipped past Lamda and his team, pierced through the barrier of 4th Fortress like it was made of paper and struck it down. The alliance member at the top of the fortress tried to do something, but alas, the might of fourth order skill was too strong.

They had barely recovered fortress HP to 70%, but the attack just now easily reaped it, bringing tears to their eyes.

However this was the beginning as Zephyr next followed with a thunder attribute AoE attack. And as he slammed down his attacks, a broad smile could be seen on his expression. It was clear he was completely immersed in the situation to enjoy it.

Well, neither of his claims stood true, but he had made it his headcanon that the fortress was made just for them to take down.

It was a mystery how he came to this thought process.

"C-Counterattack! The fortress wouldn't hold for long!"

"We're already on it! But Brave is slippery like hell!"

Alliance did throw in some attack to stop Zephyr, but he easily either dodged them or used his shield to defend. It was the result of his summer vacation training. During the vacation, he had also worked on his personal skills, and now he could more or less discern the type of skill coming at him and take appropriate measures.

It was the new awakening he had. It appeared that he was still influenced by his previous world's memory, and the limit of movements. There was also the factor that he was suddenly playing the game in reality mode, so his movements were unable to catch up completely with his senses.

However, after he had hit the level cap, his thought ventured into other aspects to improve him, and that's where he realised—why his movements were lacking in contrast to his abilities? So, he took the vacations as a nice changing point to work out on his skills.

Of course, after a heap of training, now he was left with a feeling of unburnt. Like he had improved to the point where he could clairvoyant the effect, type, range etc of incoming skill, yet he didn't find any moment to completely test himself out. But, at last, the silent smouldering feeling had found a place to vent out! Of course, he was unimaginably excited in his current state.

He deftly avoided the downpour of attacks. Sometimes, the direction of attack would be completely on him, even giving him no chance to fight back, but he had also taken it into account; after all, if opponents were too occupied with him, the rest of united would have more leeway in their movement.

Well, the only question was—could his ally dance on his beat?

"Kyaaaa,"

"Don't let down your guard! Alliance's offense is no joke! And always keep an eye on the sky for possible attacks!"

Reglam tightened his control over the group. They'd just lost one member who accidentally stepped onto the barrage of attack.

Rina's unique skill might have ended, but the alliance's firepower was still incredulous, and they couldn't afford to ignore them. Carelessness would only come to bite them back.

Gradually, casualties had started to accumulate on both ends. And amidst the situation, Rina, who had been commanding everyone one by one, stared at the «Dragon's Miniature Garden» with a complex expression.

Her eyes had settled on the 3rd Fortress. She could see the confusion of alliance members in that fortress from their chaotic movements. It was as if they'd received an attack. However, the main issue was—the enemy wasn't reflecting in «Dragon's Miniature Garden».
