1. Finally made it?Copy !req
2. I'll forgive a little lateness, though.Copy !req
3. I'm the one who asked you here, after all.Copy !req
4. So, the fact that you came...Copy !req
5. suggests you're open to negotiations.Copy !req
6. Isn't that right?Copy !req
7. Arthur Pencilgon-san...Copy !req
8. Track It Like a BloodhoundCopy !req
9. First, I'm gonna destroy the pillar joints!Copy !req
10. Can't wait to see how much of a power
boost these babies give to my skill combo!Copy !req
11. Let's go, Gilta Brill!Copy !req
12. InfightCopy !req
13. Infight into...Copy !req
14. Hand of Fortune!Copy !req
15. Hand of FortuneCopy !req
16. Hand of FortuneCopy !req
17. Break up!Copy !req
18. Yeah! Got it in one hit!Copy !req
19. That's one pillar down!Copy !req
20. Now, the second!Copy !req
21. My Shana-Oh Incarnate expired?Copy !req
22. No way can I reach the other
side without a boost...Copy !req
23. It'd take twenty seconds to
climb up from the other side.Copy !req
24. I'd miss my sub-one-minute time!Copy !req
25. What're my options?Copy !req
26. Divinity-era tech...Copy !req
27. I read the description...Copy !req
28. Guess I'll have to test
it on the battlefield!Copy !req
29. Firing up!Copy !req
30. Special function one, triggering
via voice activation...Copy !req
31. Crystal BulletCopy !req
32. Crystal Bullet!Copy !req
33. And function two...Copy !req
34. Growing up!Copy !req
35. When the crystal bullets
detect a certain wavelength,Copy !req
36. they rapidly start growing!Copy !req
37. That's a Legacy Weapon for you!Copy !req
38. It's not just powerful,Copy !req
39. it's a really fun toy!Copy !req
40. And, land! Thirteen seconds left!Copy !req
41. Can't wait for Hand of Fortune to recharge...Copy !req
42. I'll show you what a
BERP-style Quick-Draw Fist rush can do!Copy !req
43. I've come too far to let you take me out...Copy !req
44. Now, lets land that slam dunk!Copy !req
45. Flit FloatCopy !req
46. Gravity crushes the core
and it dies on the spot.Copy !req
47. Can't believe you can beat it by
hitting it with its own wheel.Copy !req
48. Pretty derpy way to die for
a late-game content boss.Copy !req
49. Well, one way or another...Copy !req
50. That's a 59-second clear!Copy !req
51. Hell yeah!Copy !req
52. Got me a new solo clear time record!Copy !req
53. I'm betting the Gilta Brill's crystal
bullets have a ton more uses.Copy !req
54. Lots of juicy new secrets to learn, too!Copy !req
55. This is gonna be so much fun!Copy !req
56. No mere area boss shall hinder my quest!Copy !req
57. EleventarCopy !req
58. Four hundred vitality?Copy !req
59. It looks excellent on you! Oh, yes!Copy !req
60. Excavated GrindsashCopy !req
61. This waist armor alone gives me what
I need to equip the Gilta Brill!Copy !req
62. Still, even if it's just waist armor,Copy !req
63. it's impressive that the
Spiked Battlehelm [4A] I made pretty early onCopy !req
64. still grants more VIT than this.Copy !req
65. Between that and the Gilta Brill,
Bilac's stuff is something else!Copy !req
66. Thank you for coming!Copy !req
67. Still, got a little time before
my meetup with Psyger-0...Copy !req
68. Psyger-0 looked so pissed.Copy !req
69. Talk about intimidating.Copy !req
70. That "Attack Master" name
ain't just for show.Copy !req
71. He kept looking around, too.
Wonder who he was waiting for.Copy !req
72. He was there when I walked
by an hour earlier, too.Copy !req
73. Probably someone he's got
a real grudge against.Copy !req
74. Bet he's gonna cut him in half
the second he sees him...Copy !req
75. Sheesh, just leave me out of it!Copy !req
76. Oh, crap! I got our meetup time wrong!Copy !req
77. This is no time to be shopping!Copy !req
78. I'm so very sorry!Copy !req
79. S-Sunraku-san?Copy !req
80. I don't know how to apologize
for making you wait for so long!Copy !req
81. N-No, not at all...Copy !req
82. I arrived a bit early, that's all...Copy !req
83. P-Please, stand up!Copy !req
84. I-I just had time to kill,
and it's not like it's... life or...Copy !req
85. Guess she's not too mad?Copy !req
86. Good.Copy !req
87. Death.Copy !req
88. Death?Copy !req
89. She's totally pissed!Copy !req
90. No, wait... she said
"It's not life or death."Copy !req
91. Sheesh, scared the crap outta me.Copy !req
92. I thought maybe Schwarz Vulf
had some weird clan rule aboutCopy !req
93. always meeting up an hour
before the planned time.Copy !req
94. Well, then... Psyger-0-shi.Copy !req
95. Y-Yes?Copy !req
96. I was hoping you might help me
clear the Lightless Barrens.Copy !req
97. I'm not sure what I can
pay you in return, but...Copy !req
98. O-Oh, you don't need to pay me anything!Copy !req
99. Huh? B-But...Copy !req
100. W-We're friends, after all...Copy !req
101. Really, don't let it bother you!Copy !req
102. My goal for today is to be
really nice to Hizutome-kun,Copy !req
103. so that we can get closer!Copy !req
104. To do that...Copy !req
105. I'll help you as much as you want,
no compensation needed!Copy !req
106. There's nothing scarier than free!Copy !req
107. Seriously... what's going
through your mind, Psyger-0?Copy !req
108. Well, shall we move on to the area?Copy !req
109. S-Sure!Copy !req
110. Like the Ruins of Past Glories before it,Copy !req
111. this area bears strong remnants
of Divinity-era civilization,Copy !req
112. but unlike the ruins, which were
were once home to a factory,Copy !req
113. this place was once a battlefield.Copy !req
114. Sure looks like there was a pretty
intense battle here once, yeah...Copy !req
115. Lightless BarrensCopy !req
116. Is that... a giant arm?Copy !req
117. The lore clan, The Library,
believe that a battle took place hereCopy !req
118. on such a massive scale that the defenders
were beaten back to the weapons factory.Copy !req
119. There's that big spinal
column over the ruins too...Copy !req
120. Just how big were the
things they were fighting?Copy !req
121. Monsters of that size have not
yet been witnessed in SLF.Copy !req
122. The Library was apparently created to
find out what exactly happened then.Copy !req
123. That monster holo I saw
in the underground lab...Copy !req
124. Is there some connection between
this giant arm and that spine?Copy !req
125. If you wish to know of your roots...
of the truth of this world...Copy !req
126. Seek out "Bahamut."Copy !req
127. I've got all these scraps
of disconnected info.Copy !req
128. There's gotta be some kind of uniting thread.Copy !req
129. I'm betting the key to unlock it lies with...Copy !req
130. The Bonus Unique Scenarios.Copy !req
131. Bonus Unique Scenario
Vorpal Epic
Begin now?
No YesCopy !req
132. In other words, "If you wanna learn the
truth, go beat the unique monsters."Copy !req
133. O-Oh, nothing!Copy !req
134. E-Er...Copy !req
135. Sunraku-san?Copy !req
136. Yes?Copy !req
137. You said you wanted to clearCopy !req
138. the area to reach Fifticia...
by tomorrow morning.Copy !req
139. Are you going there to...Copy !req
140. meet... someone?Copy !req
141. Um... yeah, two players
I met in another game.Copy !req
142. So... um... could there be...Copy !req
143. a woman?Copy !req
144. Well, one of 'em is...Copy !req
145. Behind you!Copy !req
146. Are you and that woman...Copy !req
147. Friends?Copy !req
148. Um...Copy !req
149. We haven't met up in SLF yet...Copy !req
150. So we're not on each other's friend lists...Copy !req
151. So... she's not your friend yet?Copy !req
152. That means I might still have a chance!Copy !req
153. Boy, sure is cool how you
one-shotted that thing!Copy !req
154. Bet you've got some pretty sweet buffs, huh?Copy !req
155. Before we reach Fifticia...Copy !req
156. I must use the clearing of
the Lightless Barrens...Copy !req
157. to grow closer to Hizutome-kun!Copy !req
158. Man, that's intimidating as hell...Copy !req
159. I know I'm the one who
asked for help and all,Copy !req
160. but there's a tiny part of me that
wants to jet back to Rabituza.Copy !req
161. What's the matter?Copy !req
162. Sunraku-san, are you not feeling well?Copy !req
163. N-Nope, just fine!Copy !req
164. Well, let's go, Psyger-0-shi!Copy !req
165. Yes, I'll slice through
anything we come across!Copy !req
166. G-Great to have ya!Copy !req
167. Supreme Divineslash!Copy !req
168. Supreme DivineslashCopy !req
169. Supreme DivineslashCopy !req
170. Yeah, awesome job!Copy !req
171. You sliced through its
armor like it was nothing!Copy !req
172. N-Not at all!Copy !req
173. You drew its aggro,
which allowed me to focus on attacking!Copy !req
174. I've fought a lot of monsters in my time...Copy !req
175. But Sunraku-san, it's impressive
that you didn't take a single hit!Copy !req
176. Well, I'd kinda be dead if I did...Copy !req
177. I'm half-naked thanks to
the Mark and all that.Copy !req
178. That's right!Copy !req
179. I forgot that Sunraku-san was half-naked!Copy !req
180. Th-Then you should really hurry
in getting the Mark dispelled,Copy !req
181. so that you can wear equipment,
shouldn't you?Copy !req
182. Well, actually,
I'm not totally sold on that one.Copy !req
183. The Mark's got some things
going for it, you know?Copy !req
184. I'd like to at least uncurse my legs, though.Copy !req
185. UncurseCopy !req
186. Psyger-100 said you could talk to an
NPC called Eristella to do that, right?Copy !req
187. She's a special NPC in SLF, the only
one capable of removing all curses.Copy !req
188. Saint of the Tri-Divinity
Our Lady of Love EristellaCopy !req
189. Which suggests she should be able
to remove Lycagon's Mark as well.Copy !req
190. But Saint Eristella is a very popular figure,Copy !req
191. and she's always surrounded
not just by church NPCs,Copy !req
192. but a large number of high-level players.Copy !req
193. It can be difficult even to meet with her.Copy !req
194. Fanboys, huh?Copy !req
195. Wouldn't wanna tick them off.Copy !req
196. So it'd normally take a ton of money
and connections to meet with her,Copy !req
197. but as clan leader of
Schwarz Vulf, Psyger-100 couldCopy !req
198. arrange a meeting with Saint Eristella?Copy !req
199. Yes.Copy !req
200. Well, I'm not too hard up just yet.Copy !req
201. I bet I can save that for later.Copy !req
202. For now, let's beat the area boss and
make it to Fifticia, Psyger-0-shi!Copy !req
203. Don't wanna get caught talking
'til the sun goes down!Copy !req
204. Er...Copy !req
205. Um... could I ask a f...Copy !req
206. Er, make a suggestion?Copy !req
207. Yes?Copy !req
208. It's just... "Psyger-0-shi"
must be quite a mouthful...Copy !req
209. Isn't it?Copy !req
210. Well, I guess.Copy !req
211. And if you just called me "Psyger,"Copy !req
212. you might confuse me with my sis—
with Psyger-100, right?Copy !req
213. Yes?Copy !req
214. Th-Therefore... i-it might be easier
to call me "Rei"... you know?Copy !req
215. Oh, sure thing.Copy !req
216. I'll call you Rei-shi, then.Copy !req
217. Huh? Pretty sure everyone else
calls her Psyger "Zero"...Copy !req
218. So she pronounces the 0 as "Rei" instead?Copy !req
219. Rei? Zero?Copy !req
220. Psyger-Rei...Copy !req
221. Kinda rings a bell...Copy !req
222. Huh? What's the matter, Rei-shi?Copy !req
223. H-He called me by my first name!Copy !req
224. You okay?Copy !req
225. Rei-shi? Rei-shi?Copy !req
226. Thank you so much, Sunraku-san!Copy !req
227. I'm so fired up!Copy !req
228. I could even take on Lycagon itself!Copy !req
229. G-Glad to hear it!Copy !req
230. Now I've got to be useful to
Hizutome-kun and get us even closer!Copy !req
231. Sunraku-san. I actually know
a shortcut to the area boss!Copy !req
232. It's a bit intricate, though, so in
the interests of time, I'll show you!Copy !req
233. That's awesome!Copy !req
234. You rock, Rei-shi!
You know this game inside and out!Copy !req
235. W-Well... I have been playing
it for a year or so...Copy !req
236. Wow, a real veteran!Copy !req
237. You're awesome, Rei-shi!Copy !req
238. Oh... not at all.Copy !req
239. Naw, it's true!Copy !req
240. It's going so well!Copy !req
241. To be honest, while was here
in the Lightless Barrens,Copy !req
242. I was hoping to get Aniki
Vash's quest done too, but...Copy !req
243. Bonus Unique Scenario
Vorpal Epic
Items Needed
Receiver Delta
Positioner Delta
Transmitter DeltaCopy !req
244. I'll have to poke around some other time.Copy !req
245. We'll be passing through here.Copy !req
246. Okay!Copy !req
247. Still, Psyger-0—Copy !req
248. Rather, Rei-shi...Copy !req
249. I thought she was kinda scary at first,Copy !req
250. but she's actually really down to earth,
and handy to have around, too!Copy !req
251. I'm so glad I invited her!Copy !req
252. I'll make it to Fifticia with time to spare!Copy !req
253. Hey, Rei-shi?Copy !req
254. Rei-shi?Copy !req
255. Like, the sun's down and
the moon's out, so...Copy !req
256. W-We're almost there!Copy !req
257. We'll arrive at the area boss
any minute now! Don't worry!Copy !req
258. You said that same thing an hour ago!Copy !req
259. I got carried away and led him down
a shortcut I only barely rememberCopy !req
260. and ended up getting lost!Copy !req
261. I remember this wall...Copy !req
262. We're totally lost.Copy !req
263. But what do I do now?Copy !req
264. This is the Attack Master I'm dealing with...Copy !req
265. If I harp on it and tick her off,Copy !req
266. she could draw and quarter me.Copy !req
267. She's doing me a favor, anyway.Copy !req
268. Maybe I'll watch a bit longer...Copy !req
269. That's the god-tier game, SLF...Copy !req
270. They even put effort into the night sky.Copy !req
271. The moon is so beautiful.Copy !req
272. Wh-Why did you say that?Copy !req
273. O-Of course, they say that
the quote is apocryphalCopy !req
274. and Natsume Soseki never really said it...Copy !req
275. B-But... But...!Copy !req
276. Huh? Why are you talking
about Natsume Soseki?Copy !req
277. Rei-shi!Copy !req
278. That's a curse!Copy !req
279. Oh? Hey, I know you two...Copy !req
280. So sorry, but I can't let you go this way.Copy !req
281. You'll have to find another
path, little ones.Copy !req
282. You're...Copy !req
283. Animalia-san?Copy !req
284. Wow, a top player remembers
my name! I'm honored!Copy !req
285. Psyger-0-san. Sunraku-san.Copy !req
286. And what brings you all this way,
with so many buddies all armed to the teeth?Copy !req
287. Haven't taken up PKing, I hope.Copy !req
288. I could ask you the same question!Copy !req
289. What are you doing out in this obscure part
of the area, so far from the endpoint?Copy !req
290. We're finishing the area, of course!Copy !req
291. Wait, obscure part of the area?Copy !req
292. Is Rei-shi just hopelessly
directionally challenged?Copy !req
293. So it's not a double booking, then?Copy !req
294. Double booking?Copy !req
295. Is there some kind of event
that's supposed to spawn here?Copy !req
296. If you're trying to clear this area,
you'd better turn back.Copy !req
297. The area boss isn't here.Copy !req
298. And even two players on your levelCopy !req
299. must know you can't take
on the entirety of SF-Zoo.Copy !req
300. You're sounding pretty testy.Copy !req
301. You mad because I haven't given you
the Invitation to Rabituza info yet?Copy !req
302. I need a little more time.Copy !req
303. Oh, I don't care about that anymore.Copy !req
304. Sorry, but can we tear
up that little agreement?Copy !req
305. What's your game, then?Copy !req
306. That clan leader of yours...Copy !req
307. In exchange for me taking on some of
her debt, she told me everything...Copy !req
308. about the spawn conditionsCopy !req
309. of that unique scenario you've
been working so hard to hide!Copy !req
310. Pencilgon did that?Copy !req
311. That pencil freak.Copy !req
312. Next time I see her,
I'm snapping her in half.Copy !req
313. By landing 100 or more criticals
on Lycagon the Nightslayer,Copy !req
314. you'll receive an invitation to Rabituza,Copy !req
315. and unlock a unique scenario.Copy !req
316. Um... I think there's more to unlocking
the unique scenario than that.Copy !req
317. Guess I won't be snapping
that pencil just yet.Copy !req
318. If we do it, we'll be able to visit
Rabituza whenever we want to!Copy !req
319. Our dream will come true at long last!Copy !req
320. Rabituza HeavenCopy !req
321. Poor dummies don't realize Pencilgon
just conned 'em with a nothingburger.Copy !req
322. Okay, I get it.Copy !req
323. I see what you're going for here.Copy !req
324. But there's one thing I don't get...Copy !req
325. If you've got your sights set on that,Copy !req
326. then why, instead of searching
for Lycagon the Nightslayer,Copy !req
327. are you camping this
"obscure part of the area,"Copy !req
328. and even prepared to throw
down with us to defend it?Copy !req
329. Wait, don't tell me...Copy !req
330. We are SF-Zoo.Copy !req
331. When we set our eyes on a monster,Copy !req
332. we do everything we can to
learn everything we canCopy !req
333. about its physiology and movements.Copy !req
334. In that one regard...Copy !req
335. we've even got the lore clan,
The Library, beaten!Copy !req
336. Even if the monster is...Copy !req
337. the unique monster,Copy !req
338. Lycagon the Nightslayer!Copy !req
