01x19 - The World Progresses, the Heroes Are Revealed

[bunniefuu]

Putting an end to eternity

it's danger, danger

The dots and lines connect

I just wanna know what lies beyond

outta the concrete jungle

The dungeon I race through

is a sea of trees

let's get ready to rumble, we can go

A-I-Ya-I-Ya

All right, you know this isn't a game

Twisting strategies, covering up the bugs

You gotta know pain to break the limit

A-I-Ya-I-Ya

oklet's get it

it's time to fly

I'm gonna die in my hype

Nothing bothers me anymore

moving your body

Light shining through the ground

They're hysteric

Our faint dream

But who do you fight for?

A-I-Ya-I-Ya A-I-Ya-I-Ya

The scene passing by, it's danger, danger

Now you're,

A-I-Ya-I-Ya A-I-Ya-I-Ya

Facing the stopped clock

we are the game changer

Keep going, even if

there's nothing at the end

A-I-Ya-I-Ya

if it's danger, danger

Neither your Radiant Sky Odyssey

animation

nor your long, long

tomb-guarding duty!

In the name of Vash,

I'll whip you good!

Sky Radiance!

Crescent Vorpal!

(Sky Radiance) (Crescent Vorpal)

Go to sleep already!

Wethermon the Tombguard!

You were strong.

But

I've seen that a million times.

Your blade won't reach me anymore.

The ultimate sword strike

is beaten.

Splendid.

Well done

Seeing through my ultimate strike

As the radiant sky transitioned

into the ultimate strike,

sky radiance.

So my words now turn into praise.

You are brilliant.

(A World Progressed, a Hero Revealed)

What?

A kanji pun?

Ah, sorry.

Setsuna often told me much the same.

Once again, you are brilliant.

Descendant of the frontier.

I didn't think we could reason with him,

but he reacted to what I said.

There's more?!

No.

He's already at his limit.

My body

rots

And I go to sleep

Setsuna

Now I come to you

I-It's over?

(Bonus Unique Scenario

From the Living World, With Love

In Progress)

I'm getting no "clear" notice yet, no.

The cherry blossom tree

It's wilting.

Is the area going back to before?

Setsuna.

Arthur.

Sunraku.

And OiKatzo.

You really did it.

Thank you so much.

My

No

The wish of "Setsuna of Bygone Days"

has now been fulfilled.

Hm? That's an odd way of putting it.

Yeah, as if you're saying

you're not Setsuna.

Setsuna?

You're Setsuna, right?

Not quite, Arthur.

I am certainly Setsuna.

But I'm not the Setsuna

who died that day.

Setsuna's wish

"If my lover is continuously

imprisoned by my death

please stop him."

I am the image

created by her wish.

You can say I'm a manuscript of her life,

a perfect recreation of her.

An image of the past, created

by the will of Setsuna from long ago

So basically, she's a copy-and-paste

version of her?

So that's why her name is

"Setsuna of Bygone Days"?

I am Setsuna's image, a vestige.

Fated to disappear

after my job is done.

Wait, Setsuna!

Don't mourn for me, Arthur.

The moment the world

answers her wish

this was fated to happen.

Huh?

You are adventurers.

The descendants of the Second Plan.

Those who will open the world.

If you want to find your own roots

The truth behind the world

You must search for Bahamut.

Bahamut?

Never heard of it?

It's a fish but mostly

treated like a dragon.

Yeah, I know that much.

I'm talking about Bahamut

in the context of this game!

There shouldn't be any monster

named "Bahamut" in SLF.

What?

Setsuna, what do you mean

You must find it yourself.

After all, isn't that what

opening the future is?

Arthur.

I'm giving you these words

not as Setsuna, but as myself.

Thank you for always coming to see me!

I love you, Arthur.

Likewise!

Pencilgon.

I'm not crying.

I haven't said anything.

I had no idea Pencilgon had

the function to cry warm tears like that.

"This emotion

Is this a human heart?"

Do you not have other jokes?!

I've had it! I'll smash you two to death!

Hey, don't PK me at this point!

You fill in for me, Sunraku!

Hey, cut it out!

C'mon, get to the front!

- Get off me, you b*stard!

- C'mon, c'mon!

- Stop it!

- No, you should go!

We really beat this

Thank you.

For putting up with my selfish wish.

You two.

We only joined 'cuz we wanted to.

Right?

Huh?

The first Unique Monster k*ll

in Shangri-La Frontier history, huh?

Man, I can't wait what rewards

we score from this!

Okay, without further ado

Let's check out what loot we got

- Huh?

- What?

Announcement to all

Shangri-La Frontier Players.

Just now,

the Unique Monster,

Wethermon the Tombguard,

has been defeated!

The winning players are

Sunraku.

OiKatzo.

And Arthur Pencilgon.

Also, following the defeat

of this Unique Monster,

The World Story of Shangri-La Frontier

has proceeded to the next phase.

World Story?

(World Story

Progression: 11%)

(World Story

Progression: 12%)

(National Library's Second Library Area)

Guys! We've got an emergency!

Can anyone make contact

with the Professor in the real world?

His wife's in Schwarz Vulf, right?

Ask her to bring him online!

You guys know the guy.

He's bound to dive in once he hears

a Unique Monster's been taken down.

Hopefully his wife is logged in.

What is this "World Story" mentioned

in the Game Master Announcement, anyway?

That's a new term.

It should be safe to assume

it's different from regular stories.

If the general story is about us

exploring the world with the NPCs,

then maybe the "World Story" is about

the world itself moving to a new stage?

If so, something's bound

to have changed out there.

Should we ask clans like Schwarz Vulf

to check it out for us?

Hold on, why don't we investigate

Wethermon the Tombguard first?

I agree!

After all, we had absolutely no info

about that Unique Monster until now!

Seigwurm, Lycagon,

Ctarnidd, Orchestra,

and now Wethermon.

Who would've thought that we'd learn

about an unknown Colossus in this manner?

That means there are only two left!

All right.

First, let's make contact with the players

who defeated Wethermon the Tombguard

Oh?

The Professor's wife said she'd

wake the guy up immediately.

Awesome!

Now I kinda feel sorry for him.

Sunraku.

OiKatzo.

Arthur Pencilgon.

Good grief.

I can't believe there'd be other players

who beat a Unique Monster before us.

Some "Top Clan" we turned out to be.

Arthur Pencilgon from

Ashura Kai, huh?

I did find it odd that she was missing

during the attack.

Who would've thought she was out

beating a Unique Monster?

That sly fox!

She sold Ashura Kai out to an informant

so she could beat a Unique Monster.

She played us like a damn fiddle.

Orcelott got away, but she

must be even more trouble.

The other two are not

from Ashura Kai, right?

I don't know who is

this OiKatzo person,

but as for Sunraku

He's likely the same guy who

tangled with Lycagon.

Pencilgon-san and Hizutome-kun

Are they close?

So what's our next move, Chief?

There's also that new continent matter.

We're still going to explore

the new continent,

but I and a few others

should stay here.

He was just a beginner who only

reached Thirdrema not long ago,

but now he beat a Unique Monster,

a feat nobody's ever done before, huh?

Now I'm even more

interested in you, Sunraku-kun!

We must make contact

with them no matter what!

If the situation calls for it,

we can also pull Laundering on them!

You seem to be enjoying this, Chief.

I thought you wouldn't.

Huh? Where's Psyger-0?

Where did they go?

Oh, they said their friend is in trouble,

so they're going to help them.

A friend?

Oh.

She did say she became friends

with this guy she's into.

Well, let's wish them luck.

Oh?

I knew you were coming.

Oh, so he's the guy?

Y-You damn b*stards!

What was it again?

"Orcelott of the Falling Grade"

or something?

What, that's a lame nickname.

What is he, Wethermon?

My stupid brother doesn't need

such a fancy name!

What?!

These guys don't understand

the essence of PK'ing.

Just a bunch of third-class braggars.

I knew it! You're the one who

leaked the location of our hideout!

You got payback, simple as that.

You got so fat,

you were afraid of losing the flab,

so you turned into a big chicken.

That's why I hit you on the stomach

and make you barf it all up.

That's all there is.

Sheesh!

Having a sister with such a high standard

for PK'ing sure is scary.

Like you're any better than me!

Fighting Wethermon

must've tired you out, right?!

We're gonna k*ll all of you

and take all the item drops you got!

Boy, this is why you could never cut it.

I kept telling you to

keep your eye on the big picture,

but you always got

your eyes on the quick buck.

One of the countermeasures against PK,

"Distress Signal."

When you encounter and are

about to get attacked by a PK,

you can send out a distress signal

to your friends.

Orcelott-san! This person is

Wha

When a friend receives the signal

and they have the "Friend Warp" ability,

you can summon them on the spot.

Why you again, Psyger-0?!

Sorry for the sudden call, Psyger-0-san.

It's fine.

Thank you for reaching out to me!

Remnants of the Ashura Kai

If you wish to flee again,

I wouldn't mind letting you go.

So?

All of you keep treating me like garbage!

You bunch of piece of crap!

(50 seconds later)

D-Dammit!

Everything I worked so hard to build

I won't let you take it!

Don't think everything will work out

the way you want in an MMO.

You're better off playing

a single-player offline game.

Then I strongly recommendFaeria Chronicle Online!

You monster!

Oh my, he was carrying so many

of Ashura Kai's rare items.

Like a hoarder on the run.

I didn't think you'd

come over so quickly!

Thanks a lot, Psyger-0-san.

N-No, it's fine! No need to thank me!

More importantly, congratulations

on beating a Unique Monster!

Oh, thanks.

Oh, right.

Everyone knows about it

with that announcement.

It'll be even harder

to walk the main streets now.

But what now?

I can't exactly tell them

"Yup, that's all. See ya!"

after calling them

over in a hurry, right?

Wh-What is this?

He's staring at me so intensely

Aww!

Oh, right, Psyger-0-chan.

Sorry to bother you,

but could you k*ll me as well?

What?

I'll reward you with

two Rebirth Tearjewels,

everything I'm carrying right now,

and all the rare items I got from

Ashura Kai. What do you think?

Wait, are you sure?

If you get PK'ed,

not only you'll lose all your items,

but you'll also be fined a ton of money

depending on your karma, right?

With someone like you,

I bet it'll be an insane amount.

I'd be a worse chicken than

my stupid brother if I got off scot-free.

I'm getting bored of PK'ing,

and I figured now's a good time

to pay for the stuff I've done.

That said

I am still a Player k*ller.

I'm not just gonna be a good girl

and wait to get beheaded.

Psyger-0-chan.

I've always wanted an opportunity

to fight the player

with the title of "Attack Master"

for real!

All right.

I accept.

Satanael, inverted.

Satan!

The famous Attack Master's

Unique Weapon

Antimony, was it?

And you even showed me

the inverse form, too?

How generous of you.

My sister Ahem.

My leader told me about you.

She said you're quick to run,

so I must watch out

and k*ll you on the spot.

You're talkin' about c*ck?

What?!

That's it. I'll k*ll you two next!

I haven't said anything!

If the Giant k*ller is my foe

I'll leave nothing off the table!

Whoa, look at Psyger-0 go!

I don't know what those buffs are,

but they all sound super damn powerful!

Practically an overlord.

Spin upon the blood,

and tear off the meat

Bite into death,

and spit out life

Thou art a marauder!

Sing high upon the mountain of dead!

Whoa, and our other competitor

is looking pretty nasty too!

What's that weapon? Gross.

Now, let's get started!

Let us

fight!

And they're off!

It's a clash between two

fully-buffed challengers!

How on earth you can keep up

so much tension after that huge fight?

m*ssacre Bite!

Got 'cha!

I can't pull back my sword?!

Whoa! A direct hit!

Man, that was really close.

You almost split me in half.

After everything with Setsuna

I can't start wimping out at this point!

In that case,

here's my ace up my sleeve.

Two conflicting forces

Light and dark clashes

Refusing to be rejected,

they reconnect broken destinies.

My body is clothed in light,

basked in dark,

O chaos, consume the world!

Chaos Void!

SLF Theater!

Mini!

Good morning, everyone!

I'm your energetic Vorpal Bunny

from Rabituza, Emul!

Today I'll deliver you

the news I gathered!

(Strange! White cloth ghost expanding!)

A horror story so early in the morning!

There have been sights of the Thirdrema

urban legend, the White Cloth Ghost!

The reports said the ghost was seen

jumping from rooftop to rooftop

while expanding its body widely!

So scary!

Nothing is more frightening

than a being of unknown origin!

Turned out there was a Vorpal Bunny

who had spotted the frightening ghost.

Let's hear their story!

Or more like, ain't that

the cloth I sold to the bird-man?

Which means the ghost is the bird-man

and since it's him, you were

with him too, weren't you?

Hm?

So, since the bird-man was

jumpin' around with the cloth on,

that was all just you clinging

to the cloth in panic

Shut your mouth!

Don't punch my head like that, Sis!

I wasn't panicking that time!

Sunraku-san suddenly said

"Looks like it's faster above"

and did a somersault,

so I had to adjust my position!

So it was you!

Vorpal sister punch!

It appeared some random noise got in.

Also, the rabbit from earlier

wasn't worth to be shown on screen.

Why?!

Here's the next news!

(Rabituza Specialty

Vorpal Carrot

Big harvest)

H-How unbelievable!

A big haul of Vorpal Carrot!

This is a huge event!

We have Sunraku-san on the site right now!

Let's go and check with him!

Sunraku-san! Sunraku-san!

How is it going over there?

Did you get a lot of carrots?

This is Sunraku on the site.

W-Wait, what's happening?!

Come again? Can you repeat that?

What is happening over there?!

Well, as you can see

We have an appearance of

a Giga Armored Death Carrot Eater.

What? Giga Armored Death Carrot Eater?

The carrot field is getting attacked

by a Giga Armored Death Carrot Eater.

W-W-W-Wait! My carrots!

What's happening to my carrots?!

What again?

MY CARROTS!

Who cares!

I'm about to fight the Giga Armored

Death Carrot Eater right now!

Screw you! How dare you get a name

like Mongolian Death Worm!

I'll split down your back

and cook on you a grill!

I-I can't just sit here and wait!

For my carrot

I mean, for all the rabbits waiting

to have their Vorpal Carrot!

I must go there to provide my assistance!

That's all for today!

See you all tomorrow!

What on earth is

a Giga Armored Death Carrot Eater?!
