[‘Full Moon Night' Final Villain Strategy Tips]

Chapter 1 Act 1 is difficult as the beginning of the main scenario.

Therefore, it is recommended to form a party and tackle the strategy together.

If you haven't only played the p*rverted expert route, you should have at least recruited one heroine. Build your team around her.

Remember the 'Combat Training Exercise' prologue? Approach it as if you are adding a heroine to that group.

Since the final villain constantly changes, and the difficulty is high, you need to have a somewhat prepared team to cope with it.

If you couldn't gather heroines or a team, well?

Luck, no. May your soul rest in peace.

◆

The Pierce family traditionally values practicality.

An attack aiming for the vital point without letting the enemy be on guard.

Therefore, for Sharon Pierce, an instant kill is easier than sparring.

No need to destroy evidence in this situation.

‘Finish it in one stroke.’

Just before Sharon's sword was about to pierce Lina.

—Kwoong

The ceiling suddenly collapsed.

Dust and debris scattered.

Vision obscured.

‘What's happening all of a sudden...’

If even a little deviates, it becomes dangerous.

Sharon Pierce hastily gathered her mana.

"Oh, I must have taken the wrong path."

To the low, mocking voice, Lina and Sharon turned their heads.

The dust that had thickly risen settled, and there stood a man touching the back of his head.

It was Ian.

'That was close.’

Ian had been observing Lina and Sharon's argument from the floor above. Minimize interference and gather information at the same time.

Lina Rosewell's condition was as Ian expected, and Sharon Pierce? Well, she was not the calm person she usually is. Her recently prepared attack clearly had murderous intent.

Ian scratched his cheek.

At least until confirming whether she is the culprit or not, letting heroines die recklessly is not an option.

That's why he broke the ceiling and came down like this.

It wasn't too difficult in a building made of stone.

"...Um, sorry. Go on with your fight."

Even though the line sounded like it popped out of a play, well, so what? Sometimes, audacity is important.

"Fight? Weren't we just having a conversation?"

Lina Rosewell tilted her head.

The snickering was quite creepy.

That grin was so unsettling because it was almost no different from something that had turned Lina Rosewell's shell inside out.

Ian looked at Lina with composure.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. By the way, Ian. I wanted to find you, and for some reason, I feel like I want to get rid of you..."

"Wait."

Ian hastily turned the conversation.

"But isn't it strange? I'm pretty sure I felt a sign of life."

"Life?"

"Yeah. Sharon. Weren't you just trying to stab Lina?"

Ian looked at Sharon nonchalantly.

"...!"

Sharon's expression crumpled in an instant.

'Why are you looking at me like that?'

While killing is not allowed, they must keep fighting.

Chapter 1 Act 1's final boss, Lina Rosewell.

And Sharon Pierce, the promising knight of Lichten.

A fight occurs between the two, leading to exhaustion of their abilities.

It was Ian's strategy to deal with two overwhelmingly strong heroines.

Sharon shouted through gritted teeth.

"Ian... Blackangers. You, you b*stard...!"

"Look, that's exactly the feeling I got."

"You b*stard!"

She swung her sword, but it wasn't frightening.

—Kwaaaah!

Lina Rosewell's magic erupted against her.

"Sharon. I didn't see it that way, but were you really a bad girl?"

"Shut up. Bloodstone Cult's murderer."

"I told you, I'm not with the Bloodstone Cult."

Feeling the air heating up again between the two, Ian chuckled.

"Well, go ahead and continue."

◆

—Kwaaaah!

With Lina Rosewell's preemptive strike, the battle between the heroines began.

Blocking the surging magical sparks, Ian turned away smoothly.

On the bed, there was a girl who had collapsed, unconscious.

"Tsk."

Ian, who briefly clicked his tongue, sat on the edge of the bed.

The girl's condition is unusual.

Her skin was flushed pink, and her whole body was soaked in sweat. Full of the heat of breath.

Despite being unconscious, it was evident that she was full of carnal desires.

‘...As expected, symptoms that appear when the Blue Mushroom infection spreads.’

In the original game, the effects of the Blue Mushroom were described as an increase in combat power, an increase in aggressiveness and violence, and stimulation of negative emotions.

However, according to Professor Suzy Dismal from the Clinical Magical Pharmacology Department, the fundamental cause of all these symptoms is the significantly increased s*xual desire.

The Blue Mushroom spores, transmitted through mucus, manipulate the host in that way.

‘Now that the full moon has risen, it's bursting out uncontrollably.’

This girl's current state is likely a result of the fungal infection spreading after contact with Lina.

A good experiment.

Indeed, whether Ian's dishwashing ability can be applied to humans infected with spores or not.

Beyond the disheveled shirt, a nameplate saying [Mercy] came into Ian's view. To be clear, he hadn't been staring at the chest beyond the disheveled shirt for long.

As he approached, there was a warm scent and heat.

Ian reached out towards Mercy.

"...Hah."

Even just touching her made her flinch.

She doesn't seem to be in a good condition.

After confirming that the heroines' fight was still intense, he focused on his senses.

He felt the mana of the earth at his fingertips.

Manifestation of the 'Dishwashing' ability.

Indescribably divine energies spread from Ian to Mercy.

And a faint moan could be heard.

"...Ugh."

Mercy, whose body had been flushed, calmed down in a soothing manner.

Looking around her body with mana, it was clear that the spores had decreased significantly.

Good effect for using as little power as possible.

"As expected."

Dishwashing had an effect even on these Blue Mushroom spores. It was a matter of course since it was a power, and it was undoubtedly a placebo effect. With this level, the preparations for achieving the final goal of "Full Moon Night" were all complete.

Ian turned his attention back to the fierce fight between the two heroines.

—Waaaah!

—Crack!

A battle between a fire elemental mage and a frost-type swordswoman.

The constant display of abilities was so splendid that it made onlookers admire.

Sharon, who manipulated frost elements.

Her techniques were cold and precise, in stark contrast to her calm and collected personality.

On the other hand, Lina Rosewell, who had become a host for the spores.

She continuously emitted overwhelming flames, almost to the point where it would be considered violent.

"Phew..."

From the perspective of spectators, it was fortunate that Sharon was handling the temperature to some extent with her frost elements.

That's how strong Lina was right now.

'It's the final boss, so it's only natural.'

Main Scenario Chapter 1 Act 1, "Full Moon Night”.

In this scenario, you were supposed to secure at least one heroine and form a party to tackle it.

The reason the Combat Training Exercise was the prologue was to prepare for this episode.

However, transferring the training exercise team as it was proved impossible because Yurran, a follower of the Bloodstone Cult, was in the same team.

"Instead of calling that b*stard, it's easier to just commit s*icide."

That's why the plan was to clear all scenarios alone. In other words, it was a solo play. It was easier to adapt to various variables that way.

Instead, he maximally utilized efficient items.

The reason for collecting various items was also for this purpose.

“But a heroine came rolling in like that."

Sharon Pierce.

The moment he saw her at the entrance, he decided to make use of her.

Urgently revising the plan.

To instigate a fight between Lina Rosewell and Sharon Pierce.

—Kwaaaah!

So far, everything went according to plan.

The astonishing attack power of Lina Rosewell.

However, Sharon skillfully responded to it.

However, she was holding ers ground against Lina Rosewell solely with honed abilities and experience.

'Even with the final boss, it's that much of a fight.'

Considering that Lina Rosewell's combat power had increased by at least 200% due to the Blue Mushroom, and...

'After all, Sharon is Sharon.'

Of course, she was currently in a somewhat dire situation.

'She will definitely come at her again.'

Certainly, she would try to kill Lina by spewing out the maximum frost elements she could.

Ian targeted that timing.

Ian took out the refined Mana Flytrap's inner skin.

Thanks to Danya's help, the inner skin became infinitely thinner yet simultaneously more robust and stronger.

'With this, I should be able to withstand even the highest magical pressure.'

Having prepared like this, the moment was at hand.

Just as Sharon was preparing to swing her sword.

"Die, Bloodstone Cultist!"

Now was the time.

Ian immediately inserted himself between the two.

"What...!"

"Ah!"

The eyes of the two heroines widened.

Whether or not it worked, he quickly shot out the Mana Flytrap's inner skin at the magic.

— Zzziing...

""!""

As soon as it touched, mana was absorbed by the Mana Flytrap's inner skin.

It had a nature of trying to envelop and compress mana.

Squelch, squelch.

It compressed mana with a disgusting sound, as if the Mana Flytrap's main body was still there, compressing mana.

In the infinitely compressed inner skin of Mana Flytrap.

— Flrrrrr!

Lina's fire magic erupted.

"!"

Sharon widened her eyes.

However, it was already too late.

Ian immediately protected himself with Lunar.

— Kwaaaaah!

A tremendous explosion shook the surroundings.

Frost particles met the flames and exploded.

Interaction between elements that could only happen under certain conditions.

As a result, Sharon, who was blown away, crashed into a shattered wall.

Looking at her melted armor, it seemed that she had desperately tried to block it, but it wasn't enough.

Ian, who crouched in front of Sharon, checked her pulse.

"...She's still breathing."

That should do it.

On the other hand, Lina seemed to be in a better condition.

Her clothes were soaked and had holes, but considering everything...

"Ian, you...!"

The gaze directed at him was ominous.

Of course, she must have suffered some internal injuries.

There was no opportunity to prepare for the dust explosion.

Moreover, considering the strength she had consumed in the fight with Sharon Pierce...

Finally, a reasonable calculation was made.

— Shrrrr

The Lunar staff was now clenched in Ian's hand.

Creak, creak.

Ian turned his head left and right with a big motion.

"Come at me."

It was time to educate the heroine.
