Log Horizon: Trickster Fae

Ch.5

Authornote-Howdy! Just doing a quick authornote to give a heads up for this fanfiction. I have some business I got to do next week that could keep me away from the internet for an unknown amount of time. I have at least one chapter that will be reserved for February, but if this gets drawn out, then there might not be another chapter for a bit till I get that business done... If it blocks me from the internet, that is. I won't know nothing till roughly Monday. If I don't lose my internet, than I will most likely post a chapter next week or the week after. Sorry for the bit of bad news, but hope you all enjoy this chapter.

None of the group knew what went wrong. Even Naruto pondered how it came to this. But, at this moment, they were just grateful for the twist in their problems.

"Toe to front. Keep the enemies off Naotsugu, Rue, and Na!" Shiroe's voice echoed in the heads of Naotsugu, Na, Rue, and Toe.

"Alright! Got it. Shifting Toe to front line!" Naruto answered while having Toe skid to the front with both of his huge shields in hands.

"Anchor Howl!" Toe roared, causing all the weasels with thorn vines to focus on him. The Briar Weasels maybe only around level 28, but Toe  was barely hurt them due to his high defense. Each hit from the vine whip from the weasels to his two shields made them both shine brighter and somewhat blind the beasts. "Eeeew! These evildoers stink! Reactive heal!" Toe shouted, his body glowing a warm orange.

"Told ya they reek!" Naotsugu's voice echoed as Na held out her umbrella. A chill filled the air as dark magic circles appeared underneath her. "Rise my undead minions, Skeletons!" Na shouted, the ground bursting for three Skeletons in rusty, but strong armor to rise with swords and shields ready. "Graveyard Walk!" Na shouted, pointing at the Briar Weasels attacking Toe. The Skeletons sprinted to the front line and attack, easily slicing through the weasels.

"Finally getting this battle under control!" Naotsugu slashed down a weasel they came out of the brush around them. "But, these controls suck! This isn't like the game at all!

"Of course it is not the game.” Naruto thought as Rue found the weasels hiding in the bushes and used knives to provoke them. She ran towards Naotsugu who used Anchor Howl to get them to focus on them while Rue attacked with knives.

"Whoa! Rue, watch it! I rather not lose my level 90!" Naotugu yelped, dodging a blade that slipped from Rue's hand. Rue selected a skill from her menu before the menu bugged, causing multiple buttons to appear. She grimaced, glaring at the screens behind her glasses.

"I apologize. I am used to my arms being shorter." Rue said, continuing her assault of knives at the weasels, killing two. "However, using the skills through the menu is inefficient. We need to find a more efficient manner or else we could really-Shiroe-sama! Look out!" Rue shouted, seeing a shadow behind Shiroe.

"Crap! A Triffid!" Shiroe shouted, his body  barely dodging the plant monster's vines and moved back on the building he was observing the battle from. "I need help! It's roughly level 40!

"Sword Princess!" Na shouted, pointing her umbrella at the Triffid, "Assist the mage!" A flash of light formed into an armored beauty appeared and slashed the Triffid in half before disappearing. "It worked!"Na chimed in utter joy as Shiroe stood there in shock with seeing the dead Triffid.

"Shiroe! Naotsugu! Just go through the motions of the skills you have on your hot keys! They will automatically work!" Naruto chimed in his minds with excitement.

"Alright! If I lose my level ninety, it's on your ass, Naruto!" Naotsugu shouted, seeing the Briar Weasels coming at him. "Shield Smash!" Naotsugu roared along with Toe, both swinging their glowing shields. The result was all the monsters they were fighting wiped out in the attack and making the combat mode cancel out.
