Full Dive: Eternal Phantasy

Chapter 72: City C Defense Part Five



Misaki's message sent the people in the command tent where Chief Takahara was into a rage. They couldn't believe that the young girl would be so audacious to actually tell them to abandon the project to build the wall! This was Japan's last hope! "Chief you are not going to really listen to that freak are you sir?"

Chief Takahara did not say a word, he only sighed. He knew that these men here were all on pins and needles with the monster horde. He had no choice but to ask Misaki why she said such a thing. "Misaki why do you say that we should fall back and give up on building the wall?"

Misaki who was currently holding off a group of monsters to allow Tetsu time to smash through another wall wondered why she even tried to help these people if they were just going to keep questioning her. "Boss type monster level 250. Let me just say I am only level 52. There is no one in this world right now that I know of that can fight that thing head on. I need to use the city buildings as cover to kill it and even then I might fail and need to fall back myself. I also think that it is also this monster that is controlling the horde. Ogre's have a high [Intelligence] stat so they are capable of using magic that can control things. Especially if that said Ogre is level 250. You military people can do as you wish but my plan right now is to sacrifice some to save a lot." After finishing her words Misaki took the earpiece off her ear and tossed it onto the ground. She did not want to wait for Chief Takahara's reply.

After slicing the head off another monster Misaki quickly jumped through the wall that was just knocked down by Tetsu. "Alright let's move!"

Misaki took the lead and swung her sword down causing a wave of energy to shoot out destroying wall after wall until it exited the other side of the building and flew up towards the sky. Tetsu watched Misaki's action and wondered why she didn't do that in the first place! He had very low [Strength] since most of his [Status Points] went into [Stamina] and [Vitality]! While Misaki only needed to wave her sword and break every wall in the building in one go! Shaking his head Tetsu quickly followed after Misaki. Behind the two of them, a group of monsters followed after them relentlessly.

Eternal Games Headquarters

"Eriko the monsters are about to flood into the city. A level 250 boss showed up. It seems Misaki and her team have also retreated back to the city. Should we go help?" Watase Toshi asked. His sister seems to have changed a lot in the past week. She keeps wanting to play the wait and see card.

"No, if we go help now then the government will still have a foothold within the country. We want the government to be fully wiped out or at least close to it. Let the boss deal with them. Even if the city gets invaded our headquarters is heavily guarded and has been reinforced with the game's materials. We can just stay here and wait to see how things turn out." Watase Eriko said as she leaned back in her chair and sipped her glass of wine. She was watching the large LCD television in her office that was showing everything that was happening outside with the monsters. There were almost thirty cameras displayed on the LCD television.

Watase Toshi wanted to say something but held his tongue. He could only inwardly sigh. He knew his sister's new power had gone to her head. She was now, in fact, trying to play god and become the ruler of Japan. He figured her intentions expanded further than just Japan as well.

Misaki and the rest of her team had no idea what was going on with Eternal Games nor did they care since they had more important things to worry about. Misaki was currently luring some monsters into an alleyway in order to condense them into one spot to make it easier to kill. She wanted to dwindle their numbers as much as she could before the Ogre showed is ugly head.

"Tetsu incoming!" While Misaki was doing this the command tent at the main wall was being packed up. General Utsumi heeded Misaki's warning and without orders from the main command, told all of his men to cover the construction workers retreat to the shelter. He was no fool, he could see the large monster off in the distance, not to mention the mass of flying monsters that was about to be on them. The Wind Roc alone was large enough to carry a man off.

At the main command center, Chief Takahara lost contact with Misaki. So he had no choice but to try to contact General Utsumi who was the one in command at Misaki's location. "General what is going on out there I got a report that we need to fall back!?"

"Chief, sir! There is a large monster that is as tall as a skyscraper heading our way. As soon as it appeared Misaki sent a message telling us to fall back. I have already had the construction workers pack up and my soldiers are currently working to escort them out of here to a shelter nearby. You might not know this sir but that girls team of five killed so many fucking monsters I was in shock. Not only that her strength is off the charts she slammed her sword in the ground and caused a thirty meter crater to form that was two meters deep. If she tells me to fall back and seek shelter that is exactly what I will do. Orders or not I will put my trust in that girl." General Utsumi was not going to push his men into a fight they could not win. Misaki already proved her worth by the number of monsters she had slain with her team. He trusted her decision to fall back.

Chief Takahara knew he should reprimand General Utsum for defying orders but in this situation, he also did not want to lose all those men if it was a losing battle. "Alright just follow your instincts. I will do the same here. I will order a full retreat. It seems that that girl has some kind of plan. From our intel, she seems to be heading towards the center of the city far away from the shelters. We have been keeping tabs on her since she arrived. She busted through a building and is now currently luring the monsters chasing after her, away from our men."

Chief Takahara could only hope things would go as planned. He understood from what she said that some sacrifices were needed for the greater good. By bringing the horde towards the center of the city where the tall buildings were, she was threatening the lives of civilians. He could not condone this but from the way, things were looking if she did have a plan and it was able to minimize losses then there would be no choice in the matter.

Misaki was currently still trying to kill as many monsters as she could. The sky was darkening overhead as the winged monsters finally reached the city. The mass of winged monsters spread out and started to dive down towards the streets below. Cries of pain and anguish could be heard all over the city as people were being plucked right off the street as they tried to escape to a shelter. It took no time at all for the city to turn upside down as people rushed in the opposite direction of the monsters, not caring for what they were stepping on. Misaki watched as one group of people trampled an old lady to death as they tried to rush into a building to get cover. The poor old lady never had a chance to yell out before she died. She laid there motionless on the ground. Misaki really wanted to go and tear those people to shreds for what they had done. But she had no time for that at this time. Things were already looking bad so she had to make sure she was ready for when the boss showed up.

" Everyone be careful the fleeing citizens are going insane. I know they do not pose much of a threat to us but in any case, still, be careful." Misaki frowned as she said this. She felt bad that she was not able to help that old lady.

"Misaki, we already reached the center of the city. What should we do from here?" Chiho asked. They were currently standing in the city center surrounded by tall buildings almost forty floors tall.

"Find a building that has some decent cover and try to take out as many winged monsters as you can. Our upcoming fight will be a very tough battle. So the fewer monsters around us the better" Misak knew that fighting a level 250 was going to be tough. She did not even know if they would even be able to do any damage to it.

"Okay on it! But Misaki are we really going to fight that boss Ogre?"

"Yes, we are..."
