Shangri-La Frontier,Copy !req
4. Seven ColossiCopy !req
5. contains a class of unique monsters
known as the Seven Colossi.Copy !req
6. One of these Seven Colossi
is Lycagon the Nightslayer.Copy !req
7. I'm a little different than
the last time you faced me!Copy !req
8. I'll show you the power of level 99!Copy !req
9. Ah, kindly listen to me!Copy !req
10. I must request that you wait
in the Palace of Rabituza!Copy !req
11. Don't you worry!Copy !req
12. Running will be faster... most likely!Copy !req
13. 'Tis meaningless to ask, sister of mine.Copy !req
14. The lady is simply incorrigible.Copy !req
15. Ah, but this fellow is known to you, truly?Copy !req
16. I can't be sure...Copy !req
17. But...Copy !req
18. From what Emul-san said,
I think it's the same Sunraku-san!Copy !req
19. It has to be!Copy !req
20. I thought it was impossible
to fight Lycagon head-on.Copy !req
21. But Hizutome-kun... with you, I feel like...Copy !req
22. no opponent is beyond me!Copy !req
23. Apocalypse!Copy !req
24. Rei-shi!Copy !req
25. Embrace the Lamplight of Ambition, Part 3Copy !req
26. I've seen Hizutome-kun
dodge it countless times,Copy !req
27. but I can't seem to do it myself...Copy !req
28. Rei-shi, get yourself healed!Copy !req
29. It's okay. That hit blew you away from her.Copy !req
30. If I stack on the attacks,
it should focus her aggro on me!Copy !req
31. Well, how's that feel?Copy !req
32. Did she just ignore me?Copy !req
33. I don't even have a moment to heal.Copy !req
34. My sword feels heavier than usual.Copy !req
35. My armor, too...Copy !req
36. I feel heavy.Copy !req
37. But if Lycagon kills me,
we'll lose our only way to defeat her...Copy !req
38. Rei-shi!Copy !req
39. Rei-shi!Copy !req
40. Stop that.Copy !req
41. He'd never give up because
of something like this.Copy !req
42. I'm a top player, too...Copy !req
43. I'm the Attack Master!Copy !req
44. Moping like this is an
insult to Hizutome-kun!Copy !req
45. Can't move...Copy !req
46. The double?Copy !req
47. So in the end, I just slow him down...Copy !req
48. Rei-shi!Copy !req
49. A log?Copy !req

52. Hagakushi Secret Art UtsusemiCopy !req
53. A ninja substitution technique just
cries out for a log, doesn't it?Copy !req
54. You stopping like that let
me get it out just in time!Copy !req
55. I survived it...Copy !req
56. No... she saved me?Copy !req
57. Who is this ninja?Copy !req
58. Th-Thank you.Copy !req
59. Oh, no problem!Copy !req
60. Now, if I may change the subject...
You aren't Sunraku-san, are you?Copy !req
61. No, I'm Psyger-0.Copy !req
62. Which means that's Sunraku-san over there!Copy !req
63. I'd heard he had a rather silly bird's head,Copy !req
64. but it looks more conventional
than I'd imagined!Copy !req
65. She knows... Hizutome-kun?Copy !req
66. Wh-Who's that?Copy !req
67. A player... right?Copy !req
68. Sunraku-san!Copy !req
69. What the... reinforcements?Copy !req
70. Wait, Emul?Copy !req
71. We're reunited at last!Copy !req
72. We had to run such a long way!Copy !req
73. What're you doing here?Copy !req
74. I told you to stay at the palace!Copy !req
75. Other things came up, you know?Copy !req
76. Goodness. At last, we caught you.Copy !req
77. Another rabbit...Copy !req
78. Seems pointless to even ask, but...
You're another of Emul's siblings, right?Copy !req
79. Indeed.Copy !req
80. And I appreciate the caring hand
you've shown my sister.Copy !req
81. This is Big Bro Ceecrue, the one I mentioned!Copy !req
82. CeecrueCopy !req
83. Yonder lady is Akitsuakane-dono.Copy !req
84. She wished to meet with you.Copy !req
85. I have come as her escort.Copy !req
86. Akitsuakane? That's kinda familiar...Copy !req
87. AkitsuakaneCopy !req
88. What the heck?Copy !req
89. Is that the other player who made
it to the Palace of Rabituza?Copy !req
90. Is that a really big... doggie?Copy !req
91. Er... allow me to thank
you for saving me earlier.Copy !req
92. Oh, it's nothing!Copy !req
93. By the way... er...Copy !req
94. May I inquire as to your
relationship with Sunraku-san?Copy !req
95. Well...Copy !req
96. Let me see...Copy !req
97. I guess he's a senpai I admire a lot!Copy !req
98. Sen... pai?Copy !req
99. Look out!Copy !req
100. Hagakushi Secret Art:Copy !req
101. Utsusemi!Copy !req
102. That was a close call!Copy !req
103. Utsusemi is such a hard move to time,
but she did it twice...Copy !req
104. She's really incredible!Copy !req
105. Akitsuakane...Copy !req
106. She didn't just get to Rabituza.
Now she's mixed up with Lycagon...Copy !req
107. And though she's not dealing damage,
she's still dodging Lycagon's attacks...Copy !req
108. Unexpected though it may be,Copy !req
109. she is a warrior worthily acknowledged
by the Golden Dragon King,Copy !req
110. Siegwurm the Sky Ruler of the Seven Colossi!Copy !req
111. Right, almost forgot about that.Copy !req
112. Is that a Mark on her face?Copy !req
113. Does that mean Siegwurm cursed her?Copy !req
114. I appreciate her bailing me out,
but what's she wanna see me for, anyway?Copy !req
115. Though I can't say I'm not grateful for
the help under the circumstances...Copy !req
116. She's the only other player who's unlocked a
unique scenario I had to myself up 'til now...Copy !req
117. There's gotta be more to her.Copy !req
118. Hey, hey!Copy !req
119. What kinda dumb train
of thought is this, now?Copy !req
120. Don't you got bigger things
to think about, Sunraku?Copy !req
121. Akitsuakane!Copy !req
122. You mind supporting Rei-shi for a while?Copy !req
123. Sorry to throw this at you,
but you're the only one I can ask!Copy !req
124. You've received a party request
from Sunraku.
Accept?
No YesCopy !req
125. Copy that! I've got it handled!Copy !req
126. Party
Sunraku
Emul
Psyger-0
Ceecrue
AkitsuakaneCopy !req
127. I-I should be glad for the help...Copy !req
128. But I'm so nervous for some reason!Copy !req
129. I see. I believe I understand
the situation...Copy !req
130. Its attacks really are solely
focused on you, Psyger-0-san!Copy !req
131. We have to find an opening
to attack somewhere!Copy !req
132. Never thought I'd be facing
the Night Emperor herself.Copy !req
133. Sunraku-san is truly unpredictable!Copy !req
134. I wasn't exactly expecting it myself!Copy !req
135. But the big problem now is
that Rei-shi's a target.Copy !req
136. Guess Lycagon pegged the damage-dealer
as the biggest threat.Copy !req
137. Crystal Shot ChargeCopy !req
138. Or maybe she's guessed our strategy...Copy !req
139. Strategy?Copy !req
140. Either way, if we can't draw Lycagon's
aggro off Rei-shi, we don't stand a chance!Copy !req
141. Ceecrue, you support the other two!Copy !req
142. So I shall!Copy !req
143. Now let's get in there, Emul!Copy !req
144. Righty-o!Copy !req
145. Well... what shall I do?Copy !req
146. Good question.Copy !req
147. Let's start with a Magic Chain
to lock our wolf down.Copy !req
148. Righty-o! I'll try my best!Copy !req
149. Emul!Copy !req
150. Magic Chain!Copy !req
151. Nice one, Emul! Right on target!Copy !req
152. It failed! She broke the chain immediately!Copy !req
153. But it bought me all
the time I needed!Copy !req
154. Skill—Unbroken Light Dance!Copy !req
155. Unbroken Light DanceCopy !req
156. Unbroken Light DanceCopy !req
157. Still giving me the cold shoulder, huh?Copy !req
158. Guess it takes more than
that to get your attention!Copy !req
159. It's a very impressive skill, though!Copy !req
160. It reminds me of the Quick-Draw Fist
you used in Berserk Online Passion!Copy !req
161. Hang on a minute!Copy !req
162. Don't compare that to a
move from a trash game...Copy !req
163. Berserk Online Passion?Copy !req
164. Hang on. You play BERP?Copy !req
165. Yes! I had a match with you
under the handle Dragonfly!Copy !req
166. Dragonfly?Copy !req
167. Hey, you're that player
who found that new bug!Copy !req
168. Yes!Copy !req
169. H-Hang on... Did you come all this way
on the of chance that I was that Sunraku?Copy !req
170. I had Emul-san and Ceecrue-san help me
tear through three areas after Thirdrema!Copy !req
171. She seems kind of intense... in a
different way than Katzo and Pencilgon.Copy !req
172. So that's what she meant by "senpai."Copy !req
173. Satanael, reversal...Copy !req
174. Satan!Copy !req
175. Which means I'm not out of the running yet!Copy !req
176. Catastrophe!Copy !req
177. Yes! I just need one more
hit from Apocalypse!Copy !req
178. Then if I can hit one more
time with Catastrophe, too...Copy !req
179. I'll meet the requiremen—Copy !req
180. The double again?Copy !req
181. Hagakushi Secret Art:Copy !req
182. Utsusemi!Copy !req
183. I'm sorry. I let my guard down.Copy !req
184. That's the shadow clone attack?Copy !req
185. It seems to like it'd be hard to dodge
if you've got aggro.Copy !req
186. Never thought I'd get a save from
someone I knew from another game.Copy !req
187. But unlike some muscleheads I know,Copy !req
188. she seems more like an athlete type.Copy !req
189. The type who gets better when
she sets herself a clear goal.Copy !req
190. Still, that substitution technique
of hers is a big help!Copy !req
191. I'm failing to draw aggro right now,
even with Waning Mirror,Copy !req
192. so I'd have a hard time
providing a distraction!Copy !req
193. Excuse me! Regarding that!Copy !req
194. In order to use Utsusemi, I need an
item called "Substitution Log"...Copy !req
195. And I'm out of those logs now!Copy !req
196. Say what?Copy !req
197. We had not expected to face
the Night Emperor, after all.Copy !req
198. Akane-dono!Copy !req
199. 'Twas a dangerous moment.Copy !req
200. Thank you, Ceecrue-san!Copy !req
201. Sunraku-san, I'm sorry!Copy !req
202. I'm still only level 43,Copy !req
203. so I'm not sure I can help with DPS!Copy !req
204. Got it! No need to force it!Copy !req
205. No more substitutions.Copy !req
206. Which means...Copy !req
207. I'm gonna have to find a
way to draw aggro myself!Copy !req
208. But how will you do it?Copy !req
209. Well... before I try it,
I've gotta check something.Copy !req
210. She's a strong-as-hell member of the
Seven Colossi with a super-smart AI...Copy !req
211. Lycagon the Nightslayer.Copy !req
212. But... there's one thing that
doesn't add up, even with all that.Copy !req
213. In this game, the blood of living creatures
is represented with a polygon damage effect.Copy !req
214. But in the battle up to now,Copy !req
215. I haven't seen those polys
from Lycagon even once.Copy !req
216. At first I thought she was just so tough
that I wasn't dealing real damage.Copy !req
217. But Rei-shi's clearly effective
attacks are the same way.Copy !req
218. Which means Lycagon is...Copy !req
219. Emul!Copy !req
220. Right-o?Copy !req
221. You've got a spell called Mana Shaker, right?Copy !req
222. Hit the big girl with that one!Copy !req
223. Righty-o!Copy !req
224. B-But that's...Copy !req
225. No worries!Copy !req
226. I think it's gonna work against Lycagon.Copy !req
227. Go on! No time to waste!Copy !req
228. U-Understood!Copy !req
229. Add Spell!Copy !req
230. Mana Shaker!Copy !req
231. Mana ShakerCopy !req
232. Mana ShakerCopy !req
233. It only grazed her!Copy !req
234. No, you nailed it, Emul!Copy !req
235. You dealt a little damage.Copy !req
236. Mana Shaker has no effect
on physical targets...Copy !req
237. But against monsters made up of pure magic...Copy !req
238. immaterial monsters like ghosts,
for instance...Copy !req
239. it's a spell that does a ton of damage.Copy !req
240. And that's what you really are...Copy !req
241. Lycagon the Nightslayer!Copy !req
242. Makes a lotta sense when
you really think about it.Copy !req
243. The fact that your main body can
move through darkness, too...Copy !req
244. It means you're made out of
the same stuff as your double.Copy !req
245. I get it. A weak, little hit like that
doesn't even leave a scar, right?Copy !req
246. And you've been secretly healing
from the damage Rei-shi dealt, too.Copy !req
247. Ain't it great, Emul?Copy !req
248. She's got you pegged as one dangerous bunny!Copy !req
249. I would very much like to go home!Copy !req
250. He's drawing the aggro!Copy !req
251. We're on the attack!Copy !req
252. Copy that!Copy !req
253. I shall support as I can!Copy !req
254. Looks like it worked, at least!Copy !req
255. She's after us!Copy !req
256. She's only got eyes for you, Emul!Copy !req
257. This is not a laughing matter!Copy !req
258. True, can't laugh at this for long...Copy !req
259. Using Emul to draw aggro is
a risky strat in its own way.Copy !req
260. NPCs don't respawn like
players when they're killed.Copy !req
261. If I retreat into the Inventoria
to avoid Lycagon's attacks,Copy !req
262. I might be safe, but it'll
be bad news for Emul.Copy !req
263. That means losing ain't an option.Copy !req
264. Emul, now that you guys are here,
I've made up my mind.Copy !req
265. Gamers unlock their peak performance
the more the heat is on.Copy !req
266. No worries, Emul!Copy !req
267. We'll finish this in no time!Copy !req
268. I'm gonna tell you something, Lycagon...Copy !req
269. Rei-shi's not the only one with an Ultimate!Copy !req
270. Wh-What?Copy !req
271. Energy ReservesCopy !req
272. Suzaku's power is down to 5%?Copy !req
273. How much fuel does it take just
to keep some clouds away?Copy !req
274. He's gonna be out in a minute at this rate!Copy !req
275. Suzaku! Drop your boosters and head down!Copy !req
276. Stay on low-output standby
as long as you can!Copy !req
277. Yes, sir.Copy !req
278. I've still got a big job for Suzaku to do.Copy !req
279. Can't let him run out of power!Copy !req
280. Wh-What was that? Who were you talking to?Copy !req
281. We've got us a classic race against time!Copy !req
282. Do your thing, Rei-shi!Copy !req
283. Catastrophe!Copy !req
284. CatastropheCopy !req
285. Just one hit left!Copy !req
286. Reversal...Copy !req
287. Stand back, Psyger-0-dono!Copy !req
288. She'll targeted you once more!Copy !req
289. Emul, use Mana Shaker!Copy !req
290. We need her aggro directed at us!Copy !req
291. I cannot use it a second time so quickly!Copy !req
292. Whip up a Magic Chain, then!Copy !req
293. Righty-o!Copy !req
294. Firing up!Copy !req
295. You're open!Copy !req
296. Apocalypse!Copy !req
297. She dodged it?Copy !req
298. No...Copy !req
299. The hit registered.Copy !req
300. The conditions are met.Copy !req
301. Getting a hit out of a situation
like that... Nice one, Rei-shi!Copy !req
302. Now leave the rest to me and get to casting.Copy !req
303. Right!Copy !req
304. I am the holder of chaos.Copy !req
305. I am in heaven, soaring to
the firmament's pinnacle...Copy !req
306. What a fight...Copy !req
307. What should we do in the meantime?Copy !req
308. I have trouble seeing how
we might be needed...Copy !req
309. Rei-shi's spell has a long activation time.Copy !req
310. And the caster's totally
exposed in the meantime.Copy !req
311. I've gotta keep Rei-shi
safe no matter what...Copy !req
312. All right, it's climax time.Copy !req
313. Come try me, pup!Copy !req
