Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 221: Mission Type, Complex (1) (Part 2)
[Han, we must win!]
Iselle, with a victory headband tied on her forehead, pointed at me.
[No matter who it is or what tricks they pull!]
“Of course.”
I smiled.
It had always been like this.
Winning…
[‘Dimensional Rift’ and ‘Dimensional Gap’ are connecting!]
“Winning is what we do.”
Edis finished her speech.
[Successful speech!]
[The raid’s morale increased!]
For someone who said she couldn’t give a speech, she did quite well.
“Everyone, board!”
Clang.
The stairs of the five airships descended simultaneously.
The waiting heroes began boarding the decks.
“It’s spectacular. Fighting with so many people.”
“There’s no need to worry. We just have to do our part.”
“That’s true, but still.”
Hundreds of heroes, each armed, boarded the airships in a rush.
Their eyes showed determination, fear, and various other emotions.
In a way, it was a magnificent sight, just like Jenna said.
“We’re fighting to save Townia and return home, right?”
I nodded.
Jenna took a deep breath.
“Alright. Let’s go save Townia!”
The airship we were boarding was Townia’s second airship and the lead ship of the fleet, the small-sized Lusette.
Lusette was a transport-type airship built to deploy Party 1 in the operational area, enhancing its mobility and defense at the expense of armament.
<Welcome aboard! We are ready to depart!>
As we boarded the deck, a lively girl’s voice echoed.
We owed her a debt during the occupation battle.
“It’s just us here.”
Jenna looked around.
This airship was scheduled to be deployed in the most dangerous part of the battlefield.
The main force heroes were boarding the other four airships, excluding Lusette.
The flagship of the raid, where Edis and the command staff would board, was Capitalism.
[Open the Rift!]
Not far away, light shimmered as a gigantic mirror the size of a building began to move.
And then, letters appeared on the mirror.
[Climb the tower, save the world!]
[Main Dungeon: Current Climb Floor – 49]
Once we entered that mirror, the mission would begin.
The airships, carrying around 400 troops, were checking their personnel and doing final inspections.
<This is Party 2. Is everyone okay? We’re about to depart.>
Edis’s voice echoed.
There was no response on the communication channel.
It meant there were no issues with personnel.
<Then, let’s depart.>
Vroom.
The Lusette, parked at the front of the airship fleet, began to float.
‘It’s starting.’
I took a deep breath.
I calmed the blood raging through my veins.
Since falling into Townia, this was the largest mission.
Vroom!
The Lusette accelerated.
The mirror, the portal to the mission field, was right ahead.
[Master, starting the mission!]
<Let’s go!>
Along with the lively voice of the mechanic,
The Lusette plunged into the Dimensional Mirror.
I squinted my eyes.
As the light in front of me receded, a cold wind brushed my cheeks.
‘The field is…’
A forest.
Our starting position was in the air.
The Lusette was cruising hundreds of meters above the forest.
Of course, in the distance, a gigantic egg was spewing black blood non-stop.
Flash.
As the light shimmered, one by one, airships belonging to Townia started appearing.
“So many damn monsters.”
Velkist muttered.
Looking down over the railing,
[Monster Army Lv.???] X 8325
Throughout the forest.
There were so many monsters that there wasn’t even a place to step.
[Tips!]
[Use tactical tools to designate tactical targets for the fleet!]
[If no targets are designated, heroes will act according to AI.]
<It’s okay. Ignore the monsters below. We’re in the air. Just watch out for the ones that can fly and approach the egg.>
Edis was communicating with the entire raid.
<But Han, didn’t you say the princess and the key are needed to handle the egg?>
“Pria will appear once the conditions are met.”
<You mean through mission adjustment.>
“Yes.”
We’ll find out the conditions for Pria’s appearance as we progress through the mission.
<Alright, let’s go.>
Vroom.
The leading Lusette moved slowly.
<Keep a certain distance between the airships to avoid friendly fire. And if you spot anything unusual…>
About 50 meters ahead.
Someone was floating in the sky.
[Danger!]
[Black Prince]
[Prayos Al Ragnar Lv.354]
<…Never mind, I guess we don’t have to look.>
Edis cut off the communication.
The prince was wrapped like a mummy, covered in bright red bandages, and draped in a black coat.
His mouth twitched.
“This place doesn’t suit me.”
<What nonsense are you spouting?>
“Let’s change it.”
The prince’s eyes glowed red.
And then,
[Now Loading…]
[Configuring the field!]
Crash!
As if glass was breaking, the scenery changed dramatically.
The sky turned a dark purple.
Gray clouds were swirling in a vortex in the darkened sky.
[Field configuration complete!]
[Field type – Darkness]
“Let’s start the game.”
The prince spoke.
“Let it all begin.”
[Floor 50.]
[Mission type – Complex]
[Mission objective – Unknown]
