1. I hope you realize
you've mad Ashura Kai look like
Copy !req
2. a bunch of idiots.
Copy !req
3. We messed up.
We're sorry, sir.
Copy !req
4. We weren't really expecting
Copy !req
5. the Attack Master
to join in, too.
Copy !req
6. I mean, there's no way
we coulda known.
Copy !req
7. Of course,
top players would come.
Copy !req
8. There's a Unique Scenario
involved in this.
Copy !req
9. Since you knew that,
Copy !req
10. then why didn't you
take care of it yourself?
Copy !req
11. I've got better things to do.
Copy !req
12. Do you now?
Copy !req
13. Anyway, this rabbit's
Copy !req
14. obviously the key
to some unique stuff.
Copy !req
15. But lucky for us,
Copy !req
16. we're dealing with a noob
who barely knows the game.
Copy !req
17. I don't care
what you have to do.
Copy !req
18. Just get that info.
Copy !req
19. - Sir.
- Fine.
Copy !req
20. Not that
I'm against a pet rabbit.
Copy !req
21. But aren't we Ashura Kai?
Copy !req
22. I think we should figure out
how to deal with you-know-who.
Copy !req
23. Again with this.
Copy !req
24. Was I not clear enough for you?
Copy !req
25. You know unique monsters
aren't programmed
Copy !req
26. to be beatable.
Copy !req
27. But we're in luck,
Copy !req
28. we're the only players
who know its spawn conditions.
Copy !req
29. Just seeing it ups your XP,
so if we play our cards right,
Copy !req
30. We can use it to increase
our battle power.
Copy !req
31. Fighting that thing
won't get us anywhere.
Copy !req
32. We might as well
just toss all our items
Copy !req
33. in the trash
and be done with it.
Copy !req
34. Agreed.
Copy !req
35. God, they're pathetic.
Copy !req
36. Should've known.
Copy !req
37. Hey, get back here!
Copy !req
38. You need to wait
for the other—
Copy !req
39. I'm sorry, guess
I've got better things to do.
Copy !req
40. Females.
Copy !req
41. Ashura Kai used to get hate
Copy !req
42. from everyone else.
Copy !req
43. So we made "thrive on hate"
our philosophy.
Copy !req
44. But then the devs
released an update patch
Copy !req
45. that made PKing riskier.
Copy !req
46. And so, the clan changed.
Copy !req
47. Now we're cowardly.
Copy !req
48. They couldn't beat
that thing if we tried,
Copy !req
49. not that we would.
Copy !req
50. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
51. Me, risking it all
for one little NPC.
Copy !req
52. I really didn't see
that coming.
Copy !req
53. Win or lose,
it's a huge gamble.
Copy !req
54. If I'm gonna bet everything,
I have to win.
Copy !req
55. I'll defeat that
Colossi myself.
Copy !req
56. Wethermon the Tombguard.
Copy !req
57. Then both of you can rest.
Copy !req
58. Just you wait, Setsuna.
Copy !req
59. Okay, then!
Copy !req
60. I've decided we'll head
Copy !req
61. for the
Prismatic Forest Grotto!
Copy !req
62. You wanna know
why I chose that, Emul?
Copy !req
63. Just think about all the guns—
Copy !req
64. If I'm not mistaken,
Copy !req
65. haven't we seen that person
somewhere before?
Copy !req
66. Huh? Who?
Copy !req
67. Oh, man.
Copy !req
68. Oh, jeez, oh, crap, oh, dude,
Copy !req
69. okay that's that
Psyger-0 guy, right?
Copy !req
70. Jeez. I'm totally freakin'
out here.
Copy !req
71. Hold on,
Copy !req
72. is he here to get even
for steppin' on him?
Copy !req
73. We gotta go! Like, now!
Copy !req
74. What the...
Copy !req
75. Any reports on our
fine feathered friend?
Copy !req
76. Zilch.
He probably moved on
Copy !req
77. to another area already,
Copy !req
78. Get outta the way!
Copy !req
79. You're running too fast!
Copy !req
80. Huh?
What's up with him?
Copy !req
81. There's some freaks out there.
Copy !req
82. No way! His name!
Copy !req
83. It's Sunraku!
Copy !req
84. What?
Copy !req
85. Yep. He's in a weird
outfit to trick us!
Copy !req
86. Smart guy, huh?
Copy !req
87. Hey, what's that?
Copy !req
88. A new monster?
Copy !req
89. And now it disappeared.
Copy !req
90. What was that?
Copy !req
91. Up there!
Copy !req
92. Hey! Prick!
Copy !req
93. Crap! All right,
Copy !req
94. let's get to the next area!
Copy !req
95. Righty-o, sir!
Copy !req
96. He's making a beeline
straight for the Iron Ruins
Copy !req
97. There's nothing else that way,
Copy !req
98. that's where he has
to be heading.
Copy !req
99. We need an ambush
waiting at the gate!
Copy !req
100. Roger that. We'll handle it.
Copy !req
101. Uh, Sunraku sir?
Copy !req
102. What?
Copy !req
103. Didn't you say our destination
is the Prismatic Forest Grotto?
Copy !req
104. If we keep going this way,
Copy !req
105. we'll end up in the
Iron Ruins of the Divinity!
Copy !req
106. I know, I'm fakin' 'em out!
Copy !req
107. If I went straight to
my real target,
Copy !req
108. they'd catch on quick!
Copy !req
109. I'll make 'em think
I'm aiming for the ruins,
Copy !req
110. but I'll actually cut through
an alley and head
Copy !req
111. to the Grotto instead!
Copy !req
112. If I can lose 'em for a sec.
Copy !req
113. Those bozos'll go wait for me
at the wrong gate!
Copy !req
114. Damn it! Where is he?
Copy !req
115. C'mon, we'll just go
corner him at the gate!
Copy !req
116. Right.
Copy !req
117. See that, Emul?
Copy !req
118. A good liar has three things,
Copy !req
119. at least one obvious lie,
Copy !req
120. one truth
that seems like a lie,
Copy !req
121. and one lie that seems
like the truth.
Copy !req
122. Quite educational!
Copy !req
123. Yep. I got that
little trick from Pencilgon.
Copy !req
124. Dope, all right.
Copy !req
125. We're in the clear,
so let's, oh...
Copy !req
126. How'd he find me?
Copy !req
127. Are ya sayin'...
Copy !req
128. This guy's more than some
meathead grinder?
Copy !req
129. Huh? A friend request?
Copy !req
130. [PSYGER-0] I-I'd like
to-to start as f-friends.
Copy !req
131. He's so quiet.
Wait, is he actually a she?
Copy !req
132. The friend system,
Copy !req
133. a sweet-sounding way
to describe how players
Copy !req
134. can hook up in-game.
Copy !req
135. Sending someone a request
lets them know
Copy !req
136. you want to hang out
for whatever reason.
Copy !req
137. Why send me a friend request?
Copy !req
138. A ploy to get my guard down?
Copy !req
139. No, he coulda sliced me
in half three times already.
Copy !req
140. Hmm, maybe he wants
to be buddies.
Copy !req
141. That way he can sweet-talk me
Copy !req
142. into tellin' him about
the unique scenario.
Copy !req
143. Psyger-0.
Copy !req
144. You're smarter than you look,
I'll give ya that.
Copy !req
145. Somehow you managed to see
through my perfect diversion!
Copy !req
146. You're up to somethin'.
Copy !req
147. - But I'm no noob.
Copy !req
148. I've been through all kinds
of PvP before!
Copy !req
149. Come at me, bruh!
Copy !req
150. I'll play right
into your hands,
Copy !req
151. and still kick your ass!
Copy !req
152. I'm so relieved.
Copy !req
153. When I first lost him,
I was so upset!
Copy !req
154. [PSYGER-0]
Right after I found him, too!
Copy !req
155. I thought he might be going
toward the Forest Grotto,
Copy !req
156. but I didn't know
which direction
Copy !req
157. he was heading for sure.
Copy !req
158. It was a lucky guess.
Copy !req
159. But I couldn't be happier!
Copy !req
160. [PSYGER-0]
So, uh...
Copy !req
161. I-If you'd like,
I-I could help you?
Copy !req
162. With the game, I mean.
Copy !req
163. Help me?
Copy !req
164. I knew it! You are after info!
Copy !req
165. You just wanna get me
in your debt so I can't say no!
Copy !req
166. Um. Power-leveling
my way through games
Copy !req
167. isn't exactly my style.
Copy !req
168. Thanks for the offer,
but I'm gonna pass.
Copy !req
169. [PSYGER-0]
Then.
Copy !req
170. No worries!
Makes sense to me!
Copy !req
171. Um, so, I-I'm sorry
if I ruined your fun!
Copy !req
172. I-I really didn't mean to!
Copy !req
173. I-I promise
it won't happen again.
Copy !req
174. Right, uh.
Copy !req
175. Then, good luck! Have fun!
Copy !req
176. Yeah. And uh, really sorry
Copy !req
177. about using you
as a springboard earlier.
Copy !req
178. [PSYGER-0]
N-no, don't worry.
Copy !req
179. Well, uh, another time maybe!
Copy !req
180. Right. Uh, see ya.
Copy !req
181. Hmm.
She backed off pretty quickly.
Copy !req
182. She seems like quite
the strong warrior,
Copy !req
183. wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
184. Yeah, she's pretty OP.
Copy !req
185. I'd guess she's four
or five times
Copy !req
186. stronger than I am.
Copy !req
187. Perhaps, but I'd bet
my buns your Vorpal Soul
Copy !req
188. is way stronger than hers!
Copy !req
189. Thanks for sayin' that.
Copy !req
190. I'd be more thankful if I knew
Copy !req
191. what the hell
a Vorpal Soul was.
Copy !req
192. Anyway.
Copy !req
193. I'm probably overthinking this.
Copy !req
194. Okay, I'll just write it off
as another weird encounter.
Copy !req
195. No reason to get hung up!
Copy !req
196. [PSYGER-0]
That girl that was with him,
Copy !req
197. she didn't have a username
over her head.
Copy !req
198. I guess she was an NPC?
Copy !req
199. At first, I was so shocked
I ended up hiding, but...
Copy !req
200. It was all worth it!
Copy !req
201. He actually accepted
my friend request!
Copy !req
202. I'm making progress!
See, Mana?
Copy !req
203. Tell him you love him.
Copy !req
204. Damn it.
Copy !req
205. He's not heading
toward the ruins after all!
Copy !req
206. A trick, huh?
Copy !req
207. This punk knows
what he's doing.
Copy !req
208. Let's try the Prismatic...
Huh?
Copy !req
209. The Attack Master's here?
Copy !req
210. Yeah, uh, how about
we just come back later!
Copy !req
211. Yeah!
Copy !req
212. Now we can finally
let our ears down!
Copy !req
213. Even with this thing on.
Copy !req
214. They all still knew it was me.
Copy !req
215. Wow, it's so bright in here!
Copy !req
216. A splendid tunnel!
Wouldn't you say?
Copy !req
217. Bioluminescent moss?
Copy !req
218. Pretty cool.
Copy !req
219. I've been greeted by all sorts
of surprises exiting tunnels.
Copy !req
220. Rifles pointed my way,
Copy !req
221. shooting stars that almost
crash into me.
Copy !req
222. But this forest is
as prismatic as advertised.
Copy !req
223. Aw, yeah!
Copy !req
224. Nothin' beats the thrill
of explorin' a new area!
Copy !req
225. Huh?
Copy !req
226. Your bulbous belly
is screamin' for a sword.
Copy !req
227. I can smell a pricey item drop.
Copy !req
228. Perfect timing,
'cause stocking up my inventory
Copy !req
229. drained my cash!
Copy !req
230. Tally-ho! Best of luck, sir!
Copy !req
231. You're mine!
Copy !req
232. Pretty light on your wings
Copy !req
233. even with that
big ol' potbelly.
Copy !req
234. That said.
Your maximum speed is still...
Copy !req
235. too slow!
Copy !req
236. Aha!
Just like I thought!
Copy !req
237. If I don't damage the stomach,
Copy !req
238. I can snag it as an item
for my inventory!
Copy !req
239. What's it say?
Copy !req
240. "Storage Papillon
Nectar Pouch?"
Copy !req
241. "Fun to throw?"
Copy !req
242. Good show! What skill!
Copy !req
243. Damn straight!
Copy !req
244. And there's more
where that came from!
Copy !req
245. Let's keep grindin'!
Copy !req
246. We'll earn coinage galore!
Copy !req
247. And then,
we'll beat the area boss!
Copy !req
248. We don't fear anything!
Copy !req
249. There it is.
Copy !req
250. Huh? To be honest
I simply don't see it.
Copy !req
251. Just you watch.
Copy !req
252. Oh, my!
You obtained a knife?
Copy !req
253. It's a Throwing Knife.
Copy !req
254. Since melee's
my only combat option.
Copy !req
255. I wanted to make sure
there were no repeats
Copy !req
256. of that crap-bird in the arena.
Copy !req
257. It's a consumable,
Copy !req
258. but at least I can strike
from a distance.
Copy !req
259. I knew that was you!
Copy !req
260. Buggy bastard!
Copy !req
261. Stop your whole "running off
and camouflaging" act.
Copy !req
262. Praying won't save you
from turnin' into loot!
Copy !req
263. Oh, wow, simply splendid, sir!
Copy !req
264. So. Camouflaged
ambushes aside,
Copy !req
265. those guys are easy!
Copy !req
266. And you've already amassed
Copy !req
267. quite a number of items!
Copy !req
268. Yeah, so far
so good I guess.
Copy !req
269. But I still haven't fought...
Copy !req
270. Whoa, speak of the devil!
Copy !req
271. Damn! Beetle boy
there's a real chonker.
Copy !req
272. He's gotta be like
5 meters long.
Copy !req
273. Surely that's a Quad Beetle!
Copy !req
274. What's it up to?
Copy !req
275. It appears to be drinking sap
Copy !req
276. from the Empire Bees' tree!
Copy !req
277. Well, that's
a good way to piss 'em off.
Copy !req
278. Wow! The Empire Bees'
Copy !req
279. queenly head coach has called
for an offensive play!
Copy !req
280. But the Quad Beetle remains
completely unaffected!
Copy !req
281. Which team will the Goddess
of victory smile on tonight?
Copy !req
282. Let's go to Emul
for color-commentary.
Copy !req
283. I don't know what to say!
Copy !req
284. I'm sorry, but I don't have
the foggiest idea!
Copy !req
285. At least say,
"Bob, in a field of dreams
Copy !req
286. like this it's still
anyone's game!"
Copy !req
287. Just feel it out! Improvise!
Copy !req
288. Huh?
This is all quite complicated.
Copy !req
289. An already-heated
bout between teams is
Copy !req
290. only ramping up!
Copy !req
291. The Quad Beetle
is using all of its horns
Copy !req
292. as it advances,
undaunted, to the goal!
Copy !req
293. Oh! Could this be the end
for the Empire Bees?
Copy !req
294. Well, Emul? The fans
are just dying to know!
Copy !req
295. Oh, that thing's a big ol' bug,
that's for sure!
Copy !req
296. You gotta be kidding.
Copy !req
297. Incredible! The Empire Bees'
Copy !req
298. unrelenting wave of attacks
Copy !req
299. has created
an exploitable crack
Copy !req
300. in the Quad Beetle's
armored defense!
Copy !req
301. The Empire Bees' head coach
Copy !req
302. has given the crucial signal
to attack!
Copy !req
303. Can the stubborn Quad Beetle
still find a way
Copy !req
304. to beat the buzzer?
Copy !req
305. What a play!
Copy !req
306. The Quad Beetle waited
until she was in range,
Copy !req
307. then it masterfully tackled
the Bees' head coach!
Copy !req
308. With their queen dead,
the Empire Bees are scattering!
Copy !req
309. Straight back
to chowin' down, huh?
Copy !req
310. With a near-death injury
and everything.
Copy !req
311. Now that's a power move.
Copy !req
312. Huh?
Copy !req
313. It's heading right this way!
Copy !req
314. Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no!
Copy !req
315. Hey!
I was planning on snagging
Copy !req
316. those Empire Bee drop items,
ya know!
Copy !req
317. Who pissed
in your cereal, huh?
Copy !req
318. I didn't even do anything
to ya!
Copy !req
319. Perhaps
it's under the impression
Copy !req
320. you'd hoped to make off
with its precious sap!
Copy !req
321. Huh. Sap, huh?
Copy !req
322. - Huh?
- Let's give it some!
Copy !req
323. Huh?
Copy !req
324. Guess it does only
care about the sweet stuff.
Copy !req
325. Those are some nice, big cracks
Copy !req
326. the Empire Bees
made across your armor.
Copy !req
327. It'd be a shame
if I exploited them!
Copy !req
328. Poggers!
And the bees did all the work!
Copy !req
329. Thanks to this swag,
my inventory's full.
Copy !req
330. Guess I can put looting on hold
for a sec.
Copy !req
331. Exploiting the labor
of others
Copy !req
332. isn't especially equitable.
Copy !req
333. Whatcha talkin' about?
Copy !req
334. We're in a bug-eat-bug world.
Copy !req
335. Ya do what it takes to be
the queen bee.
Copy !req
336. I suppose.
Copy !req
337. Huh?
So the area boss here,
Copy !req
338. it's a spider, right?
Copy !req
339. Indeed!
It's called the Clown Spider!
Copy !req
340. I'm thinkin' it can't be far.
Copy !req
341. There!
Copy !req
