Online:\Brygul Planet\Walled Metropolis “Kanpeki Sekai”>
The whole attacking forces comprised of different parties and guilds were commanded by GM-Galmann,
“From what I’ve heard the monster is supposed to come out today and--”
Unexpectedly, birds dwelling in the city mysteriously made alarming noises, and they flew away from the trees on the towers. All of the avatars, and NPC characters were alerted by a new female NPC character,
“This is the Gold Caravan Frigate captain speaking! We’re detecting high dimensional disturbance occurring at your area! We can’t get down! We can’t get down and risks our goods by the damages it’ll bring! Defeat it at once!”
Avatars looked at the sky and they saw a gold-chromed blocky spaceship fluttering around the city.
Ten non-player-controllable starfighters came out from the Gold Caravan’s hangars and tried finding the source of the high dimensional disturbance. However, they instead encountered a giant fleshy mushroom-like structure erected on the hill. The disturbing mushroom structure pulsated rapidly and its stem shot out blood-red thorny tendrils on the attacking starfighters
“L-Les Skaly’s h-here! Don’t land right away, Mariko!” one of the starfighter pilots uttered, just before his ship exploded after being impaled by the fleshy mushroom structure.
Three D-Hogs, and four two-person Spider Tanks of ‘PraetorsPH’ guild, five D-Hogs of ‘Justice4Wazeroth’ guild, and a lone D-Hog of ‘RedsNext’ guild, went outside the Walled Metropolis and approached the mysterious mushroom structure first...

Orion smiled at the moment that the Les-Skaly event is triggered. He immediately ordered the forum team,
“Hide any topics about Les-Skaly to avoid game spoilers! I don’t care now if there are like ten percent of the playing population knew about this creature! I want them to practice teamwork! Let’s avert the pitfall for once!”
The forum moderator named Gazelle was surprised at her boss’ orders,
“W-wait, why are we deleting them now?”
Orion sharply replied at her,
“HIDE ALL LES-SKALY-RELATED THREADS NOW!”
Gazelle and the forum team went back to their terminals, and hid all of the threads referencing Les-Skaly. All blogs that featured Les-Skaly were told to lock their blogs for this hour, in attempts to make the players figure out the tactics themselves with limited information available.
Online:\Brygul Planet\Forest of Rocks\”Les-Skaly Spawn Point”>
The five D-Hog armed ground carriers gunned down the pustules of the mushroom structure. One of the pustules got destroyed fast and the spiked tendrils began lashing the approaching Justice4Wazeroth guild’s D-Hogs.
Inside the red Justice4Wazeroth’ D-Hog, a cartoony adult human donning an old-school paladin costume with red heart cape, named Kruth Weeagasher, radioed all of his members,
“Our team will go outside and take out that bulbing mushroom right at its head, while the guys on the turrets, and our drivers here will circle around and gun that bastard down, got it?”
One of his members named Lepus Legsnare, a rabbit-eared anime-styled armored schoolgirl, suddenly yelled at her leader,
“NOAH Forums have hidden all threads involving Les-Skaly, sir!”
The rest of her team members and their leader were shocked at her news. The bald Afro-American armored soldier complained,
“What do we do now? Not all of us have the decent knowledge about that boss now!”
Unexpectedly, a Japanese native speaker from another guild brought up a supposedly uplifting speech,
“Whoever’s in charge of this universe has his reason for such a loss. We all have to cooperate! We’re all fighting that monster without sufficient intelligence, all we can do now is take a risk! There’s nothing wrong about dying!”
While the Japanese player tried to motivate some of the players, the Afro-American armored soldier raged,
“What the fuck is that Miku-Ching-Chong saying!”
“Yeah, what’s with the ching-chong Obama-toned speech!” uttered by other Justice4Wazeroth member.
“I think, she’s trying to say something in a calm manner-” Kruth Weeagasher instead appreciated his fellow player’s effort.
All of a sudden, the mushroom tower’s pores spat out missiles that resembled severed pustule-infested arms with nitroglycerin fluids homing towards their vehicles. The red Justice4Wazeroth D-Hog got hit by three grotesque, explosive hand missiles, and one of their turrets were heavily-damaged by the hand missiles.
“D-do not shoot the hand missiles point bla--!” advised by one of the avatars in the damaged turret until the explosion killed him.
“All of the D-Hogs! CHANGE FORMATION! TURRET CREW, KEEP FIRING. WE’LL ROLL OUT!” Kruth Weeagasher commanded all of his members in desperation.
The five Justice4Wazeroth-owned D-Hogs dispersed away from their initial formation and unloaded the armed team members, while they gun down oncoming projectiles. The PraetorsPH’ D-Hogs did a drive-by attack on the mushroom tower’s pustules, while their Spider Tanks distracted the spiked tendrils. The Justice4Wazeroth members attempted to destroy the pustules from the ground. However, some of their members were accidentally trampled by a PraetorsPH-owned Spider Tank.
Meanwhile at the RedsNext’s D-Hog, Lamar Shellburster, a nearly-realistic human avatar wearing red powered combat suit, radioed the PraetorsPH’ guild’s leader,
“Your guys have trampled my allies!”
“Oh really?” spoken by EngLehetEkin in its native tongue.
“I may not understand you but you guys KILLED MY FELLOW AMERICANS!” Lamar Shellburster vented back.
“You’re all idiots anyway, didn’t plan any shit!” EngLehetEkin cussed back.
“GO TO HELL!” Lamar Shellburster got annoyed.
“Same to you, son of a whore!” EngLehetEkin retorted vulgarly.
Mariella Shardshooter, their elven-themed archer, wearing simple white shirt and denim pants, asked her leader,
“Who the hell is he?”
“Some arrogant Filipino leader, he cussed that we didn’t coordinate our attacks well. I hope they die first” Lamar Shellburster angrily answered Mariella Shardshooter.
She went out from their armored vehicle and tried aiding the surviving Justice4Wazeroth avatars.
“Wait! Where are you going!” Lamar Shellburster yelled at his comrade.
The PraetorsPH’s spider tanks went closer to the Les-Skaly’s mushroom tower and gunned down more of its pustules. One of the pilots, Merkator the dwarven engineer, asked their guild leader,
“We’ll keep fighting even without buffs?”
“Do whatever we can, chap!” PraetorPH’s leader, EngLehetEkin, answered.
Inside the PraetorsPH’s Desert Hog, EngLehetEkin, the slender semi-realistic human gangster resembling a certain pop idol, briefed his team members,
“If any of those Americans attacked you guys, fire a [Red Flare], and our anti-PK team will bombard them!”
“EngLehet, do you think those Americans really hate us?” questioned by Marple, the anime-styled Nomuroid cleric.
“They are already mad at us, even way before NOAH came to be!” EngLehetEkin answered.
EngLehetEkin drew his [+5 Flesh-cleaving Voltaic Vampiric Estoc], and continued his briefing,
“Should our tanks reach below 15 percent, let’s all escape and continue our battle on the ground! That means, all of you clerics, healers, and the likes, buff us now at the moment we leave our mounts!”
“How about we let our second D-Hog be the place for clerics?” suggested by Kawahara of the second PraetorsPH-owned D-Hog.
“And then turn our clerics into gunners too?” EngLehetEkin asked back with a resisting feel.
EngLehetEkin breathed deeply and angrily yelled at Kawahara,
“And make them sitting ducks?”
Back at the foot of the Les-Skaly’s living mushroom tower, Mariella Shardshooter charged her [+3 Metal-cracking Composite Bow of the Phoenix] and aimed at one of the bigger pustules. She fired her armor-piercing bow to the big pustule. Her first shot made it through, and ignited the creature.
“OPEN FIRE, ALL OF--!” Mariella ordered the rest of Justice4Wazeroth and RedNext members but Les-Skaly’s bear head appeared and ate her lower body, rendering her dead. The ranged avatars of the two guilds immediately gunned down the head of the boss but it seemed to be heavily-resilient to projectiles. One of the PraetorsPH teased other raiding avatars,
“Oh crap, you guys whine like you’re playing in Aincraaaa--!”
Unexpectedly, the boastful PraetorsPH avatar got caught by the spiky tendrils of Les-Skaly, and chomped its lower body off.
The battle didn’t go as planned, as Les-Skaly rose from the ground, annihilating the whole three-guild raiding party.
Online:\Brygul Planet\Walled Metropolis “Kanpeki Sekai”>
The fallen members of the three guilds revived at the city square that served as their spawn point. Kruth Weeagasher brought out a [World Megaphone] item and he announced,
“All right, if anyone of you have fire and electric-element weaponry, you’ll be able to inflict more damage on the monster!”
“That means, your armed mounts should have fire and electric-based ammunition too if you’re on artillery role” Mariella Shardshooter joined.
Every other avatar around them changed their weapons, but only very few have the gear to greatly damage Les-Skaly. However, an [Alchemy Truck] owned by a guild named “Order of Waning Light” spawned behind the Justice4Wazeroth group. The middle-aged Felpurrian truck driver ushered,
“Get your 250 rounds of flame rounds for only 2500 credits!”
At the back of the [Alchemy Truck], another Nomuroid avatar hollered,
“Let’s all work as one nation! For everyone who buys 250 flame rounds will also get 25 bottles of Insta-Etherize Blaze for melee users!”
Masher321, the Hamster Marine, bought 500 [flame rounds] and obtained 50 [Insta-Etherize Blaze] from Amuu the blue-haired Nomuroid Armsmith. Amuu called Masher321,
“Hey hamster boy! Mind if I let you use these?”
Amuu showed a two gatling vulcans with different attributes. One gatling vulcan, [Amuu’s Gatling Vulcan of the Phoenix], can turn ordinary ammunition into fire-laden shots. The other gatling vulcan, [Amuu’s Rapid Gatling Vulcan of the Basilisk], has a 10% chance of poisoning its target and fires faster than the former fiery gun.
“Both of these weapons are good, but I’ll take the Phoenix one” Masher321 asked Amuu.
“Sure!” Amuu affirmed, and she handed over the fire-imbued Gatling Vulcan to Masher321.
Makabosog approached Amuu as well, and he bought the rapid poison-imbued variant of the Gatling Vulcan for 25,000 credits. Amuu was bothered,
“You don’t have to pay me that, Maka. I can always make those guns”
“No, you have it. You can buy more modifiers with my money” Makabosog offered back.
“Nah, just use it!” Amuu nagged Makabosog back.
The two critter avatars went back to BusouShinkishi guild. OugonSenshi18, the super-deformed anime avatar in gold armor approached Rennin and he asked,
“Have you seen someone named Skrillegrillah, the rusty brown robot?”
“Nope, but I think there might be people at the northern section of this city” Rennin replied.
“Okay then” OugonSenshi18 ended their conversation and ran towards the northern section of the city.
While many are busy gearing up, Les-Skaly got up from the ground and it began destroying Kanpeki Sekai’s walls with its thigh-mounted pore cannons and its disturbing pustule-laden arm missiles. Kruth Weeagasher announced with the help of the [World Megaphone],
“Everyone with vehicles, proceed outside the Southern wall now! We’ll take that critter down with all of our flame shots!”
PraetorsPH guild took the frontlines with three Desert Hogs, and four Spider Tanks again; Justice4Wazeroth stopped behind the PraetorsPH’s Desert Hog lines with five of their Desert Hogs as well; The lone Desert Hog of the RedsNext drove first and tried to gun down Les-Skaly from below. Lamar Shellburster warned everyone around with his own [World Megaphone],
“We may also take him down from below!”
Meanwhile, Arnval carried Maryann, and the bunny thief complained,
“H-Hey, what’s that for, Arnval!”
“Trust me, this ain’t Aincrad for all of us to die this instant!” Arnval tried to comfort Maryann.
“T-this isn’t in the original plan! You’ll pay for my experience loss, Arnval!” Maryann yapped further, only to be thrown right above Les-Skaly’s ‘tower organ’
Maryann equipped her [Thunder Bear Claws] and she rapidly gashed the Tower’s eye until she was able to tear the pupil apart.
“I’m about to disable its eyes!” Maryann hollered the rest of the aerial troops.
Eleven player-made, three-gun [Patrol Airboats] from different guilds began taking down the “tower organ” with their repeating laser cannons, pneumatic ballistic cannons, and incendiary sabot cannons.
“W-where did these ships come from?” Arnval asked, as she saw the ships coming towards the large creature.
The [Patrol Airboats] actually belonged to the [Mikunopolis] guild. At the upper deck of the leading Mikunopolis [Patrol Airboat], a purple-haired anime girl dressed in some magical girl costume named Arume tried to speak in English,
“Everyone, go all out! Tanks, destroy the leg turrets! Aerials, hit the tower! Footsoldiers, strike the face!”
The Mikunopolis’ Patrol Airboats spreaded out and alternately fired their incendiary sabot rounds onto Les-Skaly’s pustules. Les-Skaly’s eyes suddenly expelled a gas that killed all of the airships’ engines, and turned few trees into its allies. Maryann died right on top of the living tower due to concentrated gas that it expelled.
Inside the lead Mikunopolis’ Patrol Airboat, Arume and twelve more of her anime-styled allies suddenly jumped out from their crashing ship. The purple-haired magical girl was surprised,
“Les-Skaly has those engine-breaking attacks?”
“That’s one real war for you, Arume!” Eri-Sis, the red-haired swordsman, replied as they fall towards Les-Skaly’s back.
“Everyone with ranged weapons, we’ll gun down its weak spots!” Eri-Sis commanded her fellow guild members.
Meanwhile, eight of Ere-Sis’ male guild members plummeted towards Les-Skaly’s back, only to be whipped out. The girls of Mikunopolis guild tried their best in destroying all of the defensive pustules of the Les-Skaly’s fleshy tower.
Eight 25-feet-tall treants rushed towards the multiple guilds’ Desert Hog blockades and toppled them like tin cans, violently disembarking its riders.
“T-this is bad, everyone! We have to kill the treants first before we get the boss!” Lamar Weeagasher radioed everyone with his [World Megaphone].
Unexpectedly, the Raging Hearts’ Desert Hog rushed forward, gunning down the treants with flame rounds from their plasma turrets. Hotaru casted Emberfall on a small cluster of Treants and scorched them down.
“Get back to your vehicles and mow ‘em down!” Hitomi commanded everyone else using her [World Megaphone]
Lamar Weeagasher and his fellow guild captains summoned their moderately-damaged Desert Hogs.
“We’re never goin’ down without a fight!!!” Lamar Weeagasher screamed, as he madly drove his damaged red D-Hog, with his guild members rapidly gunned down three of the treants with flame-imbued ammunition. PraetorsPH’s spider tanks tackled one of the treants and gunned it down while dog-piling the forest monster.
“Err... that’s a bit low but it works!” one of the spider tank pilots commented while dismayed at their dog-piling barrage tactic.
All of the defensive pustules were destroyed, rendering the tower to fail its regenerative tasks on Les-Skaly’s parts. The thigh cannons at the monster’s feet formed up and it began spitting poisonous thorns on its attackers.
ClaraEukrante, AobaAnoaAndrea, Arnval flew towards the fleshy tower and gunned the eye down. Arnval informed everyone,
“We’re about to take down the tower for good!”
Below Les-Skaly, Estorille equipped her [Ursapanzer Missile Pod] and her [Anti-Tank Rifle] and attempted to break the monster’s underbelly with her armor-piercing rounds. After five shots, the monster’s flesh came out and she unloaded all of her missiles onto the exposed part, damaging Les-Skaly further.
At the sides of the monster, the Raging Hearts’ Desert Hog ran out of flame rounds, and Hitomi warned everyone inside,
“We’ve exhausted all of our bullets, I’ll ram this guy now!”
Hitomi drove their armored vehicle towards one of Les-Skaly’s legs, then her fellow members jumped off from their vehicle. The thigh cannons of the monster fired a barrage of thorns on their vehicle, only to find out that its passengers escaped.
Masher321 and Makabosog took down two of the thigh cannons with their purchased weapons, then Skrillegrillah and RavenSythe joined into their fireteam.
“Hey critters, keep destroying the cannons. Leave the head to us!” Skrillegrillah ordered the two animal-themed marines.
EngLehetEkin and his surviving PraetorsPH comrades, except Mercator and Marple, foolishly rushed towards Les-Skaly, only to be grabbed by its sentient redwood branches on its chin, and were devoured like chocolate.

Inside Eden’s floating pyramid, Eden is amused at the attackers,
“Damn, I can’t believe it! They’re defeating it!”
He looked at the fallen treants, and the spider tanks sitting on top of their decaying bodies.
“Grandmaster, I like their sense of unity. They’re willing to throw everything away to defeat our monster” Eden spoke to himself.
Unexpectedly, the Grandmaster approached him from behind and spoke backm
“I think I’ve bent the game too much, that we made vehicular combat vital... Though it gave me a good picture of humanity’s undying hope in spite of losing their trump cards” the Grandmaster replied.
“Really? I thought that a World Boss battle will be like a group of people will be standing around while pinning our pet to death, hurting only a handful b-but... I liked how your team dealt with it!” Eden was amazed.
