1. Malice at 100 Meters Per Second
Copy !req
2. 3 Years Ago
Galaxia Heroes: Burst World Tour Championships
Copy !req
3. The strongest pro gamer...
Copy !req
4. At last, I get to duel you.
Copy !req
5. I've studied her playstyle so
much it's begun to feel mundane.
Copy !req
6. Her reaction time is impressive, to be sure,
Copy !req
7. but I've racked up wins
against pros of all stripes.
Copy !req
8. I can deal with it.
Copy !req
9. Let's have a good game!
Copy !req
10. You won't be acting so confident after today.
Copy !req
11. Racking up a series of effortless wins,
Copy !req
12. Japan's new hero, K,
chooses Armed Lava as usual!
Copy !req
13. Armed Lava
Copy !req
14. Metius
Copy !req
15. And the reigning champion, Sylvia Goldberg,
Copy !req
16. once again chooses Metius!
Copy !req
17. Rarely defeated since he made his debut,
Copy !req
18. K is bringing his impressive win-loss record
to the world championship finals at last!
Copy !req
19. How will he fare against
the reigning champion?
Copy !req
20. Now, it begins!
Copy !req
21. It's a counter grab!
Copy !req
22. And a slam into the ground!
Copy !req
23. I've got her!
Copy !req
24. I can chain into a Molten Shot!
Copy !req
25. Molte—
Copy !req
26. Interception!
Copy !req
27. She pried an opening in
Armed Lava's iron defense!
Copy !req
28. From that position? How—
Copy !req
29. But I'm not done yet.
Copy !req
30. Use a poke to reset—
Copy !req
31. Armed Lava's sent flying!
Copy !req
32. You can't stop that meteoric momentum!
Copy !req
33. Such speed! Is she even human?
Copy !req
34. Armed Lava
Copy !req
35. Impossible... this isn't
what I saw in her videos!
Copy !req
36. This reaction speed is anything but mundane!
Copy !req
37. It's like she's guessed my every plan,
my every move, before I make it!
Copy !req
38. Metius's gauge is maxed out!
Copy !req
39. Heroic Gauge
Copy !req
40. Here comes the ult!
Copy !req
41. The Meteor Strike!
Copy !req
42. That's a KO!
Copy !req
43. It's over!
Copy !req
44. The winner is Sylvi!
Copy !req
45. It was over the second she
broke through his guard!
Copy !req
46. S-Sylvia's that strong... I was that helpless...
Copy !req
47. That rocked!
Copy !req
48. Good game, K!
Copy !req
49. I never thought you'd get
me down to half health!
Copy !req
50. Your feints and footwork were great, too!
Copy !req
51. And, um...
Copy !req
52. What was your full name again?
Copy !req
53. Kei. Kei Uomi.
Copy !req
54. I'm Sylvia Goldberg.
Copy !req
55. I know. And I'm not giving up.
Copy !req
56. Sylvi... I will surpass you!
Copy !req
57. Okay. Can't wait to see it!
Copy !req
58. So, well.
Copy !req
59. That's video of the first time I fought Sylvia.
Copy !req
60. What do you think, Sunraku-kun?
Copy !req
61. I agree with him that your
style resembles hers...
Copy !req
62. I can see it.
Copy !req
63. But she's way faster than me.
Copy !req
64. She moves like she's got a parry
bonus modifier on all the time,
Copy !req
65. and her predictive skills are so incredible
I don't even know how she does it.
Copy !req
66. I could mimic the technique itself well
enough, but I couldn't move like she does.
Copy !req
67. I'll put it this way.
Copy !req
68. If you're fighting my Metius to a draw,
there's no way you'll beat Sylvia.
Copy !req
69. So this is why you wanted a
serious match with Sunraku?
Copy !req
70. Sorry I wasn't honest from the start.
Copy !req
71. I didn't want you getting
self-conscious about it.
Copy !req
72. Hey, it's all good.
Copy !req
73. I still got to kick you in the face.
Copy !req
74. Even in VR I thought you were
gonna knock my lights out.
Copy !req
75. And that doesn't count for our record, okay?
Copy !req
76. You keep saying that...
Copy !req
77. After she crushed me, I started
studying Sylvia thoroughly,
Copy !req
78. changing strategy and character every
time I saw room for improvement.
Copy !req
79. But my official record
against her remains 0-8-1.
Copy !req
80. Even now, she continues to evolve.
Copy !req
81. She's thrashed you, huh?
Copy !req
82. But you still wanna beat her?
Copy !req
83. You bet.
Copy !req
84. Then we'll find a way.
Copy !req
85. If the rest of the world's putting all
their attention on Sylvi and Star Rain,
Copy !req
86. then beating 'em with a misfit squad like ours
Copy !req
87. would be pretty darn funny.
Copy !req
88. Yeah.
Copy !req
89. Katzo's taking this pretty seriously.
Copy !req
90. I guess that's how important
it is to him to beat Sylvia.
Copy !req
91. Katzo wants to fight Sylvia himself,
Copy !req
92. so there's a good chance we'll
be facing the bodybuilder trio.
Copy !req
93. We'll need to think up some strats for that too.
Copy !req
94. All right, now I'm excited!
Copy !req
95. Tonight's the night for some serious practice!
Copy !req
96. Might need some energy drinks
to carry me through, though...
Copy !req
97. Guess they only sell domestic brands.
Copy !req
98. I said coffee! Please!
Copy !req
99. The real coffee! All coffee, strong!
Copy !req
100. Um, all of our coffee is real coffee, so...
Copy !req
101. Real? Yes, please! Make it all real coffee!
Copy !req
102. I think maybe she's trying
to order her coffee black?
Copy !req
103. Black?
Copy !req
104. Yes, that's it! Black coffee!
Copy !req
105. Oh, got it. Please wait just a minute.
Copy !req
106. Thanks, nice boy.
Copy !req
107. Hey, hey. No problem.
Copy !req
108. "Boy"?
Copy !req
109. A disguise? She a celebrity or something?
Copy !req
110. Looks fishy.
Copy !req
111. Not that I have much room to talk...
Copy !req
112. I like that brand too!
Copy !req
113. But Japan's ones are weak.
Copy !req
114. Huh? Oh, right.
Copy !req
115. They've got a lot less caffeine, huh?
Copy !req
116. Wait, is she a gamer too?
Copy !req
117. Sorry for the wait, ma'am.
Copy !req
118. Black coffee, strong.
Copy !req
119. Wow! I heard Japan's
konbini coffee was the best,
Copy !req
120. so I waited for this moment!
Copy !req
121. All the strong real coffee!
Copy !req
122. Thank you!
Copy !req
123. Wish I could get that worked up about coffee.
Copy !req
124. Huh? Did she look like...
Copy !req
125. Nah, no way.
Copy !req
126. That kid sure bought a lot of energy drinks.
Copy !req
127. Maybe... he's a gamer or something?
Copy !req
128. Yes!
Copy !req
129. This is a real five stars!
Copy !req
130. Hello?
Copy !req
131. What're you doing, Sylvi?
Copy !req
132. We're supposed to be warming
up with Galaxia Heroes: Chaos!
Copy !req
133. Oh, sorry. Jet lag's got me beat.
Copy !req
134. I'm gonna turn in early.
Copy !req
135. You guys go without me.
Copy !req
136. What? Are you kidding?
Copy !req
137. You were bouncing off the
walls last time I saw you!
Copy !req
138. I'll make up for it tomorrow. See ya then!
Copy !req
139. Now, let's see...
Copy !req
140. I've got my caffeine recharge,
so let's log in and try it.
Copy !req
141. The Japanese-developed title
that took the world by storm...
Copy !req
142. Shangri-La Frontier!
Copy !req
143. I was gonna try to come up with
strats against the bodybuilder trio,
Copy !req
144. but I'm losing my concentration.
Copy !req
145. These things just don't have any kick compared
to the imported ones Katzo told me about.
Copy !req
146. But I drink just two and I wanna pee...
Copy !req
147. The best cure would be to clear
my head with a different game,
Copy !req
148. but I didn't bring my own VR system...
Copy !req
149. It's here! Downloadable SLF!
Copy !req
150. Shangri-La Frontier uses biometrics
and passwords to manage accounts.
Copy !req
151. Therefore, you cannot create sub-accounts,
Copy !req
152. but you can easily access
your game from other devices.
Copy !req
153. Logging in from new device.
Biometric confirmation is required.
Copy !req
154. Well...
Copy !req
155. I said it was a different game, but SLF uses a
similar system to the one I need to practice.
Copy !req
156. It's not just a waste of time.
Copy !req
157. I left off while it was getting good, too,
and there's a ton of stuff I want to try out...
Copy !req
158. Okay, just for a little, then!
Copy !req
159. I'll only play for an hour!
Copy !req
160. Sorry, Katzo! I'll just clear
my head then quit right away!
Copy !req
161. Login
Copy !req
162. R'lyath Abandoned House
Copy !req
163. Is that you, Sunraku?
Copy !req
164. Hey, Araba! It's been a whole day!
Copy !req
165. I really logged in!
Copy !req
166. Guess Rei-shi still hasn't made it.
Copy !req
167. Still... is there more furniture than before?
Copy !req
168. The human known as Akitsuakane made
alterations earlier in the day.
Copy !req
169. Akitsu
Copy !req
170. Rust
Mold
Copy !req
171. Today
Copy !req
172. Oh, yeah? She said she could log in today,
Copy !req
173. but she's probably gone by now.
Copy !req
174. Rabbits aren't nocturnal, are they?
Copy !req
175. There, there, Emul-chan! Go back to sleep!
Copy !req
176. It's beddy-bye time!
Copy !req
177. That was close! If I'd woken her up...
Copy !req
178. I'm going with you, Sunraku-san!
Copy !req
179. She'd be so annoying about it!
Copy !req
180. You seek to venture out this night?
Copy !req
181. You would seem to be the nocturnal one.
Copy !req
182. I'm active whenever I've got the drive to be.
Copy !req
183. You awaken and spring immediately to action.
Copy !req
184. You resemble a kind of fish that
will die if it stops moving.
Copy !req
185. You calling me a tuna?
Copy !req
186. You want me to make you into shark fin soup?
Copy !req
187. "Shark fin soup"? What is this you speak of?
Copy !req
188. A weapon? "Soup" would
suggest something edible...
Copy !req
189. Well, better get out before
I wake the others up.
Copy !req
190. Lots of times in SLF you meet
different enemies at night.
Copy !req
191. I was curious to see what might
change here in R'lyath...
Copy !req
192. A hellish town ravaged by zombies during the day
Copy !req
193. reverts to the fish paradise
it once was at night!
Copy !req
194. Wow, look at that view!
Copy !req
195. I will not stop you if you wish to go.
Copy !req
196. But be warned—even a warrior like
you must keep his eyes open.
Copy !req
197. A king rules over R'lyath at night.
Copy !req
198. A king?
Copy !req
199. It's not that dark for being nighttime.
Copy !req
200. And those fish-man zombies turned back into
regular fish, so it's easy to get around.
Copy !req
201. I'm curious about this "king"
that Araba mentioned, but...
Copy !req
202. For tonight, my priority is
learning about Ctarnidd's power.
Copy !req
203. First thing I'd like to know...
Copy !req
204. All those ruined buildings...
Copy !req
205. It's like they were reset back to normal!
Copy !req
206. Sunraku-san, what does it mean?
Copy !req
207. I dunno.
Copy !req
208. But I'm betting this is part
of Ctarnidd's power, too.
Copy !req
209. The power that fixed the town like
someone pressed the rewind button.
Copy !req
210. But I'll need to cause some
damage if I wanna test it, so...
Copy !req
211. That fish is acting kinda weird.
Copy !req
212. I think I get it.
Copy !req
213. As you enter the range of Ctarnidd's inversion,
Copy !req
214. your sense of balance gets inverted
too, causing a moment's confusion.
Copy !req
215. This area looks like an air pocket to me,
Copy !req
216. but it's water
as far as they're concerned.
Copy !req
217. So you can enter R'lyath from
outside the zone of control too.
Copy !req
218. We're not totally cut off
from the outside world.
Copy !req
219. I've still got lots of questions
about how the city inversion works,
Copy !req
220. but the more important thing—
Copy !req
221. That's... the giga-oarfish I fought yesterday?
Copy !req
222. That thing's coming in from the outside too?
Copy !req
223. Perfect timing! He's just the—
Copy !req
224. Wh-What the... a different monster...?
Copy !req
225. Blue flames?
Copy !req
226. It's on fire?
Copy !req
227. That is a sea creature, isn't it?
Copy !req
228. It's an even match for that giga-oarfish...
Copy !req
229. No, even stronger!
Copy !req
230. It's like a hunter after its prey!
Copy !req
231. Is that the king Araba mentioned?
Copy !req
232. That blue animation effect...
Copy !req
233. Electricity?
Copy !req
234. It killed that giga-oarfish with one bite?
Copy !req
235. A monster wielding two elements
Copy !req
236. uncommon in sea creatures...
blue flames and blue lightning.
Copy !req
237. This is the king of the ocean floor!
Copy !req
238. Rare Enemy
Atlanticus Lepnorca
Copy !req
239. Sheesh... a place where unique monster-tier
baddies just show up like it's normal.
Copy !req
240. I'm gaining a new appreciation for how
just how crazy this R'lyath place is!
Copy !req
241. But it's still a game, and they wouldn't
design an area the players couldn't beat.
Copy !req
242. That overwhelming destructive power of yours...
Copy !req
243. I'm gonna use it for my experiments!
Copy !req
244. If there's one problem I have with this game,
Copy !req
245. it's that restrictions on gore makes the
monsters' eating animations look kind of off.
Copy !req
246. Hey, you!
Copy !req
247. Quit stuffing your gullet,
you dual-element orca!
Copy !req
248. The mermen call you the King, is that right?
Copy !req
249. So I'm sure you'll happily give some
of your food up to peasants like me!
Copy !req
250. Dropped Item
Arctus Regacles Flamehair Fin
Copy !req
251. All right, he's on the hook!
Copy !req
252. How much damage can you do to the city,
Copy !req
253. and what triggers the repairs?
Copy !req
254. The results of my experimentation will change
a lot about how I try to beat R'lyath...
Copy !req
255. Come join me, you dual-element orca!
Copy !req
256. My target is one of those tall towers
where the so-called Sealing Generals are!
Copy !req
257. A Sealing General?
Copy !req
258. Challenging foes, each with a special
power that seals our abilities.
Copy !req
259. The only one I have heard of is Clionaire,
Copy !req
260. which has the power to
seal the use of any spell.
Copy !req
261. What happens if I can destroy the
tower with the Sealing General inside?
Copy !req
262. I kinda wanna find out!
Copy !req
263. But first, I've gotta reach the tower alive!
Copy !req
264. Kinda looks like you've been
charging up electricity.
Copy !req
265. That's what you used to take
down the giga-oarfish, right?
Copy !req
266. The attack must have lots of destructive power.
Copy !req
267. It took thirty seconds to discharge.
Copy !req
268. But since pretty much any
attack kills me anyway,
Copy !req
269. it's just a slower attack I've
got lots of time to dodge!
Copy !req
270. Not much of a threat at all!
Copy !req
271. So the electrical discharge hits
the surrounding environment too?
Copy !req
272. Guess I'd better think of it as an AOE attack!
Copy !req
273. Holy crap, I dodged it!
Copy !req
274. I didn't even have time to activate the
Inventoria! I thought I was done for!
Copy !req
275. That cutting-edge professional VR
chair really makes a difference!
Copy !req
276. The response time is something else!
Copy !req
277. I can totally see how it's worth it for
that kind of split-second situation.
Copy !req
278. Whoops, keep your mind on the game.
Copy !req
279. Now I know I can do this, though!
Copy !req
280. Just keep racing to that tower!
Copy !req
281. What's that?
Copy !req
282. A new attack?
Copy !req
283. Better get the Inventoria ready...
Copy !req
284. Sunraku-san?
Copy !req
285. So many... carrots...
Copy !req
286. So delicious...
Copy !req
287. SLF Mini
Copy !req
288. SLF Theater!
Copy !req
289. Mini!
Copy !req
290. SLF Theater
Copy !req
291. The Style of a
Professional Giant Killer
Copy !req
292. Arthur Pencilgon.
Copy !req
293. She is a player killer.
Copy !req
294. The Giant Killer
Copy !req
295. They call her "The Giant Killer".
Copy !req
296. She's the #2 of the infamous
Ashura Kai clan of PKers.
Copy !req
297. Today, we'll be talking about her PK style.
Copy !req
298. Using Traps
Copy !req
299. The first thing that makes The Giant Killer's
style unique is her use of traps.
Copy !req
300. Um, excuse me... I got caught in a swamp.
Copy !req
301. Would you help me?
Copy !req
302. Oh, dear!
Copy !req
303. We're on our way! Just wait a second!
Copy !req
304. Eeyh!
Copy !req
305. Attacking Solo Players
Copy !req
306. The second thing that makes her style unique
is her tendency to attack solo players.
Copy !req
307. Thanks for the help today!
Copy !req
308. Okay, I'm logging out. Night!
Copy !req
309. Yeah! Call me any time you need me!
Copy !req
310. Huh?
Copy !req
311. Night!
Copy !req
312. You're human, so if you want to beat a
stronger player, you have to use your head.
Copy !req
313. Unlike a certain weirdo and a certain gamer
of unknown gender, I have a brain.
Copy !req
314. You're gonna pay for what you
did to us the other day.
Copy !req
315. It seems all the players I've killed
have formed up a gang to hunt me.
Copy !req
316. No amount of strategy can make up for
this overwhelming difference in numbers.
Copy !req
317. What will she do?
Copy !req
318. At times like this...
Copy !req
319. like this?
Copy !req
320. The last thing that makes
The Giant Killer's style special...
Copy !req
321. When I die, you all die too!
Copy !req
322. Self-Destruct!
Copy !req
323. Self Destruct
Copy !req
324. That was so much fun!
Copy !req
