1. Sunraku-san... still hasn't returned.
Copy !req
2. Which means... he's still fighting.
Copy !req
3. Sunraku-san!
Copy !req
4. I guess we'll need more than stat
boosts to make a breakthrough here.
Copy !req
5. Its armor seems thickest around the waist.
Copy !req
6. That's probably where all the
important bits are stored...
Copy !req
7. But how the heck do we
go about prying it open?
Copy !req
8. PUTTING FEELINGS INTO A MOMENT, PART 4
- I've got an idea.
Copy !req
9. PUTTING FEELINGS INTO A MOMENT, PART 4
- Are you in?
Copy !req
10. PUTTING FEELINGS INTO A MOMENT, PART 4
- An idea?
Copy !req
11. A sure-fire plan to break through
Kirin Armor's outer shell.
Copy !req
12. I call it...
Copy !req
13. Clear Sky Conquest.
Copy !req
14. That which can cleave even dragons...
Copy !req
15. Sky Clear!
Copy !req
16. SKY CLEAR
- Sky Clear!
Copy !req
17. What the heck was that?
Copy !req
18. "Sky Clear," he called it, I guess...
Copy !req
19. But this move is...
Copy !req
20. way too nasty.
Copy !req
21. Will it reach?
Copy !req
22. Wait!
Copy !req
23. But it's like I told you...
Copy !req
24. It's gonna take more than that to beat me!
Copy !req
25. It's gonna
take more than that to beat me!
Copy !req
26. REBIRTH TEARJEWEL
Copy !req
27. My ultimate technique, the self-revive!
Copy !req
28. It was a huge gamble, but I managed to
time it just right to revive myself!
Copy !req
29. Still, my equipment's not so lucky...
Copy !req
30. My Spiked Battlehelm is half trashed.
Copy !req
31. My Lifestide Sash is totally kaput.
Copy !req
32. That "Clear Sky" move
Copy !req
33. is nasty.
Copy !req
34. So it's got equipment-destroying
and armor-piercing effects...
Copy !req
35. Maybe the Insta-Death effect, too?
Copy !req
36. But...
Copy !req
37. Until you surpass my ultimate,
Copy !req
38. I shall not fall.
Copy !req
39. That stance again!
Copy !req
40. Clear Sky Conquest...
Copy !req
41. Thunderclap!
Copy !req
42. Hang on a damn minute!
Copy !req
43. We're back to the attack spam?
Copy !req
44. Wind Slash.
Copy !req
45. Wind Slash.
Copy !req
46. Wind Slash.
Copy !req
47. Too damn close!
Copy !req
48. I get it.
Copy !req
49. That chain of attacks and
the final Sky Clear move...
Copy !req
50. All of it together makes
up "Clear Sky Conquest."
Copy !req
51. So... how do I solve it?
Copy !req
52. SKY CLEAR
- So... how do I solve it?
Copy !req
53. Last time, it took about thirty
seconds before the Sky Clear hit me.
Copy !req
54. Pyroclastic Wyrm.
Copy !req
55. There's lag time before
Pyroclastic Wyrm activates.
Copy !req
56. That one's not a huge threat.
Copy !req
57. Ash Blizzard.
Copy !req
58. Same with Ash Blizzard.
Copy !req
59. It's easy to dodge when
I know it's coming!
Copy !req
60. Tidal Rush.
Copy !req
61. The moves he uses in Clear Sky
Conquest might be chosen at random,
Copy !req
62. but the actual dodging
is a memorization game!
Copy !req
63. Wind Slash.
Copy !req
64. Given all the moves in his arsenal,
Copy !req
65. the go-to strategy is to
Copy !req
66. preserve stamina and keep about
three meters from him at all times.
Copy !req
67. Thunderclap.
Copy !req
68. Keep your movements to the bare minimum.
Copy !req
69. This isn't so scary
once you get used to it.
Copy !req
70. He got my leg again!
Copy !req
71. REBIRTH TEARJEWEL /
DIVINE LIFESALVE POTION / HIGH POTION
Copy !req
72. It's thirty seconds, for sure.
Copy !req
73. Now, here's the real challenge...
Copy !req
74. SKY CLEAR
- Sky Clear!
Copy !req
75. He's killed me plenty of times before,
but this one feels different.
Copy !req
76. It's more fundamentally...
Copy !req
77. an insta-kill attack, meant to slaughter
the player without you getting a say.
Copy !req
78. I'll bet...
Copy !req
79. Even if a level 99 player buffed
their defenses with full armor
Copy !req
80. and a shield at the ready,
Copy !req
81. he'd still split them in
half like a block of tofu.
Copy !req
82. Until you surpass my ultimate,
Copy !req
83. I shall not fall.
Copy !req
84. Clear Sky Conquest!
Copy !req
85. And the worst part of all is
that he keeps you from dodging!
Copy !req
86. Once you're rooted to the spot like that,
Copy !req
87. you don't have a choice but
to soak his Sky Clear attack.
Copy !req
88. Sky Clear!
Copy !req
89. Destroy his sword?
Copy !req
90. No, that's not a realistic option when
you're dodging the attack spam...
Copy !req
91. Same with taking down the guy himself.
Copy !req
92. DIVINE LIFESALVE POTION / HIGH
That was my last Rebirth Tearjewel.
Copy !req
93. All I've got left are
five Divine Lifesalves.
Copy !req
94. If the Sky Clear comes
every thirty seconds,
Copy !req
95. that means I've got three
minutes left to live.
Copy !req
96. It's been less than five
minutes since Phase 3 started.
Copy !req
97. I won't make it to ten.
Copy !req
98. Until you surpass my ultimate,
Copy !req
99. I shall not fall.
Copy !req
100. Until I "surpass" it... he won't fall?
Copy !req
101. Clear Sky Conquest.
Copy !req
102. Wind Slash!
Copy !req
103. Thunderclap!
Copy !req
104. But then, the "survive ten minutes"
thing was just a theory from the start.
Copy !req
105. Right now, I'm thinking "survive the Clear
Sky Conquest" is a more likely scenario.
Copy !req
106. Sky Clear!
Copy !req
107. Solving the Sky Clear must be the
victory condition against Wethermon!
Copy !req
108. And the key to doing that
has gotta be to parry.
Copy !req
109. Against an opponent of
Wethermon's caliber,
Copy !req
110. you'd need to deflect with
the timing of a critical...
Copy !req
111. You've gotta do it while
rooted to one spot,
Copy !req
112. in a state where you can't
make any stance adjustments.
Copy !req
113. If you get the timing off by a
millisecond, he'll shatter your weapon.
Copy !req
114. Still, it's the only way to win.
Copy !req
115. CLIMAX BOOST / HUNGER WOLF
VORPAL BLADE TECH
Copy !req
116. CLIMAX BOOST / HUNGER WOLF - My job right
now is to work out what I need in that
Copy !req
117. final moment,
Copy !req
118. CLIMAX BOOST / HUNGER WOLF
- and make sure I have it at my disposal.
Copy !req
119. SUNRAKU
- Soon.
Copy !req
120. Soon, I'll have everything I need...
Copy !req
121. Wait just a little while longer...
Copy !req
122. Wethermon.
Copy !req
123. Until you surpass my ultimate,
Copy !req
124. I shall not fall.
Copy !req
125. Let Sunraku-kun handle all that.
Copy !req
126. Yeah, we've got our own job to focus on.
Copy !req
127. Now, as far as your sure-fire way
to take down Kirin Armor goes...
Copy !req
128. It's not gonna be easy to
get him where we need him.
Copy !req
129. Can't do it, hmm?
Copy !req
130. Oh, please.
Copy !req
131. Don't go underestimating
a fighting game pro.
Copy !req
132. In that case...
Copy !req
133. Get on that.
Copy !req
134. PENCILGON
Copy !req
135. Wh-Why'd you just kill yourself?
Copy !req
136. That took forever!
Copy !req
137. What's wrong with you?
Copy !req
138. H-Hey, that's my line!
Copy !req
139. A spear-wielder can't
fight with just one hand.
Copy !req
140. But resurrection sets me back to normal.
Copy !req
141. At least warn me first!
Copy !req
142. Now, let's start again fresh!
Copy !req
143. First, gotta find its weak spot...
Copy !req
144. The backbone linking the
top and bottom portions!
Copy !req
145. It feels just like the other parts!
Copy !req
146. Hey, hey! I'm right over here!
Copy !req
147. Not as easy to shake off this time, am I?
Copy !req
148. I've drugged myself
into a major buff stack,
Copy !req
149. and I'm using two whips!
Copy !req
150. The second you lift up
the leg, the body falls!
Copy !req
151. Katzo-kun, well done!
Copy !req
152. If you wanna be a fighting
game pro in the VR game age,
Copy !req
153. you'd better know how the human body
moves under any set of circumstances!
Copy !req
154. This thing isn't really human!
Copy !req
155. It's humanoid! Basically the same thing!
Copy !req
156. Okay, and that's when...
Copy !req
157. I add more whips!
Copy !req
158. I've got you wrapped up
in every whip I've got!
Copy !req
159. WEAPON CHANGE RECOMMENDED - I suppose
Copy !req
160. that's the end of this weapon.
Copy !req
161. TWISTED STEEL SPEAR BREAKAGE
WEAPON CHANGE RECOMMENDED
Copy !req
162. Adding armor-piercing buffs to your
weapons wears down their durability very quickly.
Copy !req
163. I've hit its back, arms, and legs multiple
times over the course of the fight,
Copy !req
164. but it's just as tough all over.
Copy !req
165. Still... there's one place where the
armor is tougher than the others.
Copy !req
166. That waist of yours is
just too suspicious!
Copy !req
167. Katzo-kun! Move it forward!
Copy !req
168. Got it!
Copy !req
169. I won't be able to hold it for long!
Copy !req
170. Okay!
Copy !req
171. It's time to spill your guts, giant!
Copy !req
172. Spear of Sunlight!
Copy !req
173. Spear of Sunlight!
Copy !req
174. SPEAR OF SUNLIGHT
Copy !req
175. WEAPON DURABILITY DEPLETED BREAKAGE
WEAPON CHANGE RECOMMENDED
Copy !req
176. Come on, you can hang in
there a little longer!
Copy !req
177. My buffs are about to run out, y'know!
Copy !req
178. I got it off!
Copy !req
179. Great! Then, let's finish the job!
Copy !req
180. It shredded all my whips!
Copy !req
181. The hell is this? A berserker mode?
Copy !req
182. Looks like breaking the
waist armor set it off!
Copy !req
183. What's the plan? Fall back for a bit?
Copy !req
184. No, we press the attack.
Copy !req
185. If we just let it rampage,
Copy !req
186. one of those indiscriminate beams
or missiles might hit Sunraku-kun.
Copy !req
187. I think you can imagine
what that would lead to.
Copy !req
188. Huh? What was that?
Copy !req
189. While I was going toe-to-toe
with a unique monster,
Copy !req
190. someone couldn't even handle
distracting his pet horse?
Copy !req
191. I'd sure love to hear all about that!
Copy !req
192. We'll be in for six months of that.
Copy !req
193. No doubt. I'd do the same thing.
Copy !req
194. Yeah, so would I.
Copy !req
195. Okay!
Copy !req
196. In that case, we've done all our prep...
Copy !req
197. So let's seal the deal
on your sure-fire plan!
Copy !req
198. You said it.
Copy !req
199. Time for Giant Killing!
Copy !req
200. I only have two spears left.
Copy !req
201. Boy, what a waste.
Copy !req
202. Do you know how much it
costs to make one of these?
Copy !req
203. Now's not the time to get stingy!
Copy !req
204. Must be nice to just use your fists...
Copy !req
205. Okay...
Copy !req
206. Thou art that which binds.
Copy !req
207. I am that which holds fast.
Copy !req
208. I merge with all of creation.
Copy !req
209. I find the incompatible darkness...
Copy !req
210. and strike!
Copy !req
211. Shadow Wedge!
Copy !req
212. Shadow Wedge...
Copy !req
213. It's a spell that lets you
seal a target in place
Copy !req
214. by stabbing your weapon into its shadow.
Copy !req
215. It lasts until the weapon breaks.
Copy !req
216. Given Kirin's size, that'll probably
be about five seconds from now.
Copy !req
217. We only get one chance at this!
Copy !req
218. Let's go... my last spear!
Copy !req
219. Giant Killing Skewer!
Copy !req
220. GIANT KILLING SKEWER
Copy !req
221. Perfect for a mammoth like
this, don't you think?
Copy !req
222. It's time, Katzo-kun!
Copy !req
223. Okay! Hold it tight!
Copy !req
224. Pencilgon!
Copy !req
225. Drat.
Copy !req
226. It fired a missile
before I locked it down?
Copy !req
227. Damn it...
Copy !req
228. - Damn it...
- That's no problem!
Copy !req
229. That's no problem!
Copy !req
230. I said that a spear-wielder
can't fight with only one arm...
Copy !req
231. but I take that back.
Copy !req
232. Kirin Armor...
Copy !req
233. I only need one arm for you!
Copy !req
234. Go! Giant Killing!
Copy !req
235. ALL OR NOTHING
- All or Nothing!
Copy !req
236. It's all yours, Katzo-kun.
Copy !req
237. Red, Blue, Yellow.
Copy !req
238. Three colors merge.
Copy !req
239. Spirit Fist: Dark Overstrike!
Copy !req
240. Just go down already, you empty shell!
Copy !req
241. Human Pile Bunker!
Copy !req
242. Katzo-kun!
Copy !req
243. I'm 'kay.
Copy !req
244. Boy, I'm tired!
Copy !req
245. We were so screwed if
that hadn't clinched it!
Copy !req
246. I'm so drained from Dark Overstrike
that I can't move a muscle.
Copy !req
247. You're out of stamina.
Copy !req
248. Rest for a while and you'll—
Copy !req
249. How's Sunraku-kun?
Copy !req
250. That was my last resurrection item.
Copy !req
251. I made it in time, Wethermon.
Copy !req
252. I've got everything I need now.
Copy !req
253. Hungry Wolf.
Copy !req
254. Climax Boost.
Copy !req
255. Their recast time is over.
Copy !req
256. And my
Moonblades' fusion gauge is filled up.
Copy !req
257. Clear Sky Conquest!
Copy !req
258. In thirty seconds
Copy !req
259. HEAD EQUIPMENT CHANGED
- In thirty seconds
Copy !req
260. HEAD EQUIPMENT CHANGED STARING
In thirty seconds
Copy !req
261. you'll dish out your last Sky Clear.
Copy !req
262. Wethermon the Tombguard...
Copy !req
263. I'm gonna solve your ultimate strike
Copy !req
264. and bring on the finale!
Copy !req
265. MOONBLADE COMBINATION POSSIBLE
- and bring on the finale!
Copy !req
266. Wind Slash!
Copy !req
267. Tidal Rush!
Copy !req
268. Nimbus Fist!
Copy !req
269. I'm using my recast time
Copy !req
270. to identify exactly how long his
Clear Sky Conquest has been going.
Copy !req
271. VORPAL BLADE TECH - to
identify exactly how long his Clear Sky
Copy !req
272. VORPAL BLADE TECH
- The Sky Clear is coming in two seconds.
Copy !req
273. Conquest has been going.
Copy !req
274. The Sky Clear is coming in two seconds.
Copy !req
275. It'll be your last Sky Clear...
Copy !req
276. Bring it on, Wethermon!
Copy !req
277. The key to beating it is the Moonblade...
Copy !req
278. Twin Moon!
Copy !req
279. The fusion of
the blades "Waxing" and "Waning."
Copy !req
280. MOONBLADE TWIN MOON
- It comes with a special effect:
Copy !req
281. MOONBLADE TWIN MOON - the lower your
stats are, relative to your enemy's,
Copy !req
282. the lower your stats are,
relative to your enemy's,
Copy !req
283. the greater the power and
likelihood of your criticals.
Copy !req
284. It's the best weapon possible
for these circumstances.
Copy !req
285. It raises the likelihood
that my parry will work!
Copy !req
286. And...
Copy !req
287. With the stacked effects of
Climax Boost and Hunger Wolf,
Copy !req
288. I'll raise my action speed!
Copy !req
289. With all this, I can block
his Sky Clear for sure!
Copy !req
290. CLIMAX BOOST CANNOT ACTIVATE
- I can't activate it?
Copy !req
291. I can't activate it?
Copy !req
292. SUNRAKU
Copy !req
293. I've got a skill I can only activate
when my HP fall below one-third—
Copy !req
294. I screwed up!
Copy !req
295. How'd I manage to blow my prep like this?
Copy !req
296. I'm doomed!
Copy !req
297. I've soaked that attack
enough times to know...
Copy !req
298. Hunger Wolf alone won't let
me match the attack speed!
Copy !req
299. Think, man! There's gotta be a way!
Copy !req
300. Sunraku, think!
Copy !req
301. Think up a way!
Copy !req
302. Sky—
Copy !req
303. You guys are all so obsessed
with that Setsuna lady...
Copy !req
304. Today's major update changed
the activation conditions
Copy !req
305. for the luck-based "Endure" status...
Copy !req
306. If your luck stat is over fifty,
Copy !req
307. and your HP reaches zero due to
self-inflicted or recoil damage,
Copy !req
308. ENDURE - and your HP reaches zero due
to self-inflicted or recoil damage,
Copy !req
309. Just once, you can
hang in there with a single HP!
Copy !req
310. Just once, you can hang
in there with a single HP!
Copy !req
311. SUNRAKU
Copy !req
312. STR, AGI, AND VIT INCREASE IN
PROPORTION TO HUNGER AND LOW HP, BUT
Copy !req
313. CLIMAX BOOST ALL STATS INCREASE IN
PROPORTION TO LEVEL DEFICIENCY AGAINST ENEMY.
Copy !req
314. REDUCES STAMINA, DEX, AND TEC IN EXCHANGE.
Copy !req
315. Clear Sky Conquest is a chain of
actions that concludes with Sky Clear.
Copy !req
316. In other words, until you release your
Sky Clear, you'll never give up...
Copy !req
317. Either on the Clear Sky Conquest action
Copy !req
318. or your oath to guard that
grave forever and ever!
Copy !req
319. On behalf of Vash, I'm putting you down!
Copy !req
320. Sky Clear!
Copy !req
321. Crescent Vorpal!
Copy !req
322. SKY CLEAR / CRESCENT VORPAL
Copy !req
323. Go to sleep already...
Copy !req
324. Wethermon the Tombguard!
Copy !req
325. You were really strong...
Copy !req
326. But I've seen enough of your
attacks for a lifetime...
Copy !req
327. And your blade won't reach me ever again.
Copy !req
328. The ultimate strike has been solved.
Copy !req
329. Brilliant.
Copy !req
330. You have broken through
my ultimate strike.
Copy !req
331. As "Clear Sky" transformed into
my ultimate, "Sky Clear"...
Copy !req
332. So, again, do the words transform...
to describe your talent.
Copy !req
333. "It is as clear as a cloudless sky."
Copy !req
334. SLF MINI
- SLF Theater!
Copy !req
335. SLF MINI
THE SAIGA FAMILY VALENTINE
Copy !req
336. SLF MINI THE SAIGA
Mini!
Copy !req
337. SLF MINI
THE SAIGA FAMILY VALENTINE
Copy !req
338. SLF THEATER
- First, I got some chocolate bars.
Copy !req
339. SLF THEATER
- Then I chopped it up.
Copy !req
340. SLF THEATER
- Then I melted it with a water bath.
Copy !req
341. That all went as planned.
Copy !req
342. But what shape should I make them?
Copy !req
343. Valentine's Day chocolate
for Hizutome-kun...
Copy !req
344. A-Am I really ready to give him hearts?
Copy !req
345. Well... maybe I should
use that shape, then?
Copy !req
346. But just giving him his own head
would be annoying to him...
Copy !req
347. And giving him half-naked chocolate
might be a little embarrassing...
Copy !req
348. In that case...
Copy !req
349. Oh, Hizutome-kun would eat me?
Copy !req
350. It's definitely way too soon for that!
Copy !req
351. No, no! Don't nibble me there!
Copy !req
352. Y-You're going to start there?
Copy !req
353. You're filling your mouth? That loudly?
Copy !req
354. We're both underage!
Copy !req
355. No, it's no good.
Copy !req
356. I'll need to use a different shape.
Copy !req
357. It's too much for me, emotionally.
Copy !req
358. I-In that case...
Copy !req
359. I'll make it my sister!
Copy !req
360. But why?
Copy !req
361. I've got myself so confused!
Copy !req
362. In that case...
Copy !req
363. I melted it in the water bath,
then reshaped it back into chocolate bars!
Copy !req
364. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS TASTIER THAN
STORE-BOUGHT, THE FACT THAT IT LOOKED
Copy !req
365. EXACTLY LIKE STORE-BOUGHT MADE IT
CREEPIER. - BY MANA IWAMAKI
Copy !req
