01x03 - Black Wolf Nightslayer

[bunniefuu]

I throw away my defense

and put on my bird mask headgear

I'm a hustler

My point only goes to my luck stats

Parry parry

now this is my style

playing broken games all night

who's that knight?

Broken game is sickness

toxic scattered, now I'm a patient

My heart is beating almost twice as fast

The chaos wither get it bite that bug

Terrible gimmick

new game a.k.a suicide??

I don't give a damn

(Do it, Do it)

No, not yet NO it's not enough

(Do it, Do it) NO it's not enough

I still can go

Everyone looks dirty to me

Everything looks broken to me

we can go, we can go

to that mountain top, not afraid to drop

this world is going to be mine duh

The Black Wolf's Night Attack

So

You're sure his name was "Sunraku"?

Y-Yes!

I'm pretty sure

his player name was Sunraku

Mia!

Don't do it!

They're a player, not a monster!

Huh? Really?

But they look so scary.

They might be scary,

but they're still a player!

So, where did that Sunraku player

have gone I mean, went to?

Oh, yes. Um

He was hit by the python's poison,

so he dash to Secondale.

And he was wearing a bird mask

and half-naked?

I think he has changed

equipment by now, though.

That mask had really scary eyes.

I thought he was a monster.

I had my suspicion,

but I didn't expect he really did defeat

the Ravenous Python

without going to the first town.

Thank you for the information.

This might not be much

But take this.

(Gift, Coordinate Teleporter)

But take this.

Th-Thank you.

Well then

I'm in a hurry.

So fast. What was that?

I'm not really sure

But that emblem on their cape

I think it's one used

by the clan that chase after

the Unique Monster,

Lycagon the Nightslayer.

Unique Monster?

Lycagon?

Unique Monster is a category of special monsters

that has nickname and individual name.

Hm?

Usually, when you defeat

or capture a monster,

another monster of its kind

will appear after some time.

But there's only one

Unique Monster of each in this world.

(Seven Colossi)

The rumor says that there are

(Seven Colossi)

seven Unique Monsters in SLF.

(Seven Colossi)

But for most of them,

(Seven Colossi)

nobody knows how to make them show up.

And a lot of top players

have formed clans

to defeat those so called

colossus monsters.

Oh, so it's kind of a very rare monster?

Well, to put it simply, yes.

But the problem is,

they're unbelievably strong.

After all, this game

has been out for a year

and has over thirty million players,

but not a single one of them

has ever defeated a Unique Monster.

(Unique Monster, Lycagon the Nightslayer, Encountered)Encountered Unique Monster,

(Unique Monster, Lycagon the Nightslayer, Encountered)Lycagon the Nightslayer.

Unique Monster?

Those annoying Redcap Goblins

were blown away in an instant.

If this thing hit me, I'd die instantly.

Damn you!

Unique Monster's not a big deal!

Th-That was close!

Good thing I spent

the entire night grinding!

(Perfect Parry)If I hadn't learned Perfect Parry,

(Fully parries an enemy's physical attack by parrying at the right timing)I'd be dead already!

Oh crap!

If I let my guard down,

it'd take me down in an instant!

I'll go all out!

Yeah! How was that?!

It disappeared again!

Where will it appear?

It teleported?!

Ribbit.

Dammit! This guy's fur is way tougher

than the serpent's scales!

I've landed attacks on it for over

five minutes without taking any damage!

Yet

This guy's so tough I didn't feel

like I've dealt any damage at all!

I'm sure I've landed like a hundred,

no, two hundreds critical hits, too!

My Vorpal Choppers that had near full

durability is already about to break!

I need to target

the softer part of his body,

or else my weapon will be down

before I do!

Or more like

Although it's not impossible,

it's clearly not an enemy I'm not ready

to be fighting right now!

But this is good!

This is good!

This is god-tier game

Shangri-La Frontier!

This stinging feeling of intimidation

that burns through my skin!

I'm enjoying this game

to the fullest right now!

No bugs, horrible balancing,

or unfair enemy encounters!

I'm a gamer who has overcome

the worst gaming industry has to offer!

Against an opponent

who has proper hit boxes

there's no way I'd just go

"Okay, I surrender" that easily!

It shouldn't be able

to attack me at this distance!

A howl?!

I can't move my body!

What did it just do?

What did it hit me with?

Reality is not that easy

There's no sudden awakening

and unleashing some powerful attack,

or having a power-house player

swoop in to help

Such dramatic things

just don't happen all that often.

No, one thing did happen.

After taking an attack like that,

somehow I still have HP left.

This is a miracle.

You're absurdly strong.

But that absurdity is exactly

how you're programmed to be.

The level of strength expected

by the people who made you.

To put it in another words

It's "absurdity you can defeat."

I've decided.

I don't care about the final boss

or the story anymore.

Even if I can't do it now

I will defeat you,

no matter what it takes.

You better not get defeated

by anyone else before then!

Lycagon

the Nightslayer!

(Lycagon's Mark, have been applied)

What?

Mark?

(Lycagon's Mark

The parts applied with Lycagon's Mark cannot equip an equipment

The character with Lycagon's Mark will have lower-level monster flee from them)

(The character with Lycagon's Mark gain bonus to conversations with NPC

The character with Lycagon's Mark gain strong magic resistance in parts the mark is applied to)

Lycagon's Mark A curse

(The curse may be removed by a Saint's prayer

or by beating the one that applied it)

"The parts applied with Lycagon's Mark

cannot equip an equipment"?

Huh?

Am I screwed?

Lycagon's Mark?!

The heck is this Mark thing?!

Now I can't put on anything

on my torso and legs!

That darn wolf!

It came out of nowhere, eat me,

and put on marks a curse on me?!

(Staring Bird Mask

Lycagon's Mark

Splitblade Belt

Lycagon's Mark

None

Also, don't just destroy

the equipment I had on, man!

"The parts applied with Lycagon's Mark

cannot equip an equipment."

"The character with Lycagon's Mark

will have lower-level monster flee from them."

"Gain bonus to conversations with NPC."

"Gain strong magic resistance in parts

the mark is applied to."

"The curse may be removed

by a Saint's prayer

or by beating the one that applied it."

So it's a type of curse that can only

be removed by defeating the source

What a nice weather.

This This is such

This is such a trash game!

Why is he half-naked?

- So lame!

- I don't wanna be like him.

That dude's scary!

Is it some kind of joke?

No, calm down, Sunraku.

Remember the three things that

got me through countless trash games!

A broad heart

An indomitable spirit

And cold decision-making skills.

Looks like simply fighting a Unique Monster

gives you quite a lot of EXP.

Thanks to that, my level's up,

my skills improved,

I got a lot of stat

points to toss around.

Now's a good time

to work on my stats build.

I've gotta be careful

applying these fifty points

Vitality 6.

In the end, I'm still a glass-cannon

that can die anytime!

What am I even supposed to do?!

Two of my four armor slots are blocked!

So boosting my vitality

is just a drop in the bucket!

Same with HP!

So I'll have to cover it with

my agility and stamina!

And my highest stat is my Luck at 65.

The reason I was left

with 1 HP left back there

was probably because

of my luck right?

It should have an effect.

I mean, like

I've been through

a lot of crap, haven't I?

I can at least hope

for some good luck, can't I?!

What is it now?!

Huh? Why there's a rabbit?

Wait, isn't that

(Vorpal Bunny)

(Vorpal Bunny)

Vorpal Bunny?

It is, right?

It looks a bit different, though.

Hey, hey. Do monster also

appear in towns, in this game?

Wait, hold up!

No, judging from its outfit,

it's no regular Vorpal Bunny.

This must be a kind of event

where you get a rare item if you catch it!

All right! I got you!

A door?!

(Unique Scenario)

(Invitation from Rabituza)

What's this?

Unique Scenario,

Invitation from Rabituza?

I see!

I've heard of these in game guide site.

I believe

"Adventurers of the World"

is the big main story in SLF,

but there's also countless

number of side quests.

Among them, the quests called

"Unique Scenarios"

are total mysteries that

the game does not make clear

on when, where,

and how you trigger them.

That's why the equipment, skill,

- What's going on here?

- and magic offered in these

are said to be first-class stuff.

As such, it's not rare for clans

to obsessively search of these quests.

And I ran into one this early on

Looks like boosting

my luck stat's finally paid off!

I can't miss this opportunity!

(Sunraku)

(Rabituza)

Wh-What's this place?!

Everywhere I look

It's Vorpal Bunnies all over the place!

Did I arrive at some kinda monster den?

Welcome, Sunraku-san!

I've been hoping to meet you!

Y-Yes? Hello?

Let me tell you, the whole Rabituza

been carrying on all about you!

Although weak, you have the courage

to take on that Nightslayer alone!

And the skill you have to continue landing

the ideal k*lling blow without being hit!

It was precisely the embodiment

of the Vorpal Soul!

Vorpal Soul?

I really look up to you!

But I didn't stand a chance

against it, though.

That's because you messed

with a bad opponent!

The Emperor of the Night is a colossus

that eats wyvern for a snack!

If you weren't an adventurer

with the blessing of divinity,

you wouldn't even be able to talk to me here.

- This rabbit sure talks a lot.

you wouldn't even be able to talk to me here.

And that mark placed upon your body

is proof that the Emperor of the Night has

recognized you as an individual, not as prey!

Wow!

This is not the first game

where monsters talk,

but is this thing really an NPC?

It sure talk about Lycagon a lot.

Come to think of it,

on the description it says

(The character with Lycagon's Mark

gain bonus to conversations with NPC)

Is this what the "bonus" referring to?

That's why my Dad Ahem!

Our boss really wants to meet you,

so he sent me to take you here!

Hm? He wants to meet me?

This isn't a revenge for

all the Vorpal Bunnies I k*lled, right?

Um

Oh!

My name is Emul.

Is it really an AI?

It can even guess what I'm thinking?

Please rest assured.

Our boss isn't all persistent

about stuff like revenge.

(Palace of Rabituza)

It's really well-made.

A fair number of humans

has visited Rabituza,

but you're the first one to visit

the Palace of Rabituza!

The first?!

That means

nobody knows about this

Unique Scenario besides me?!

I was kinda worried when

that g*dd*mn dog cursed me

But luck's finally turning my way!

Now then, right this way!

Dad Uh, I mean, Boss!

I brought in the "Man with

the Vorpal Soul" for you!

What kind of reward awaits

There you are.

I been waitin' for ya.

So yer the guy that puppy peed on?

Y-Yes

Come on in.

Ya'll lose your "Vorpal Souls"

so fast, ya know?

I wasn't sure what

I gonna do with ya folks.

But I guess

some of you got potential, huh?

So whaddya think?

Would you mind lending me your time?

I'm the boss of Rabituza.

Vysache.

(The Boss of Rabituza, Vysache)

I scream in envy so much it hurts

I cry that this is where it ends

It's going to change, I'll change it

I don't want to think

it's impossible anymore

The goal I set up is now

the starting line for me to run again

Hit me with that despiar, it excites me

Telling me give it a go

I should be able to go as far as I want,

yet I mistake this to be my limit

Is getting an easy win

sometimes necessary?

It exhilarate me,

telling me to give it a go

I have a dream,

so even my complaints is not a joke

I scream in envy so much it hurts

I cry that this is where it ends

It's going to change, I'll change it,

I don't want to think

it's impossible anymore

I don't mind breaking if I can move on

I hate giving up even more

I'm going to make it come true,

make it a reality, I'm always serious

Make it so I'm only

a little away from obtaining it

Let me ace this even if it burns me

SLF Theater!

Mini!

(#5 Psyger: Episode-0)

This game is too difficult for me.

But unless I beat it

I-I won't be able to go adventuring

with Hizutome-kun, right?

Say, I think you're really good

at adapting to playing games,

but I'm sure it's better for you to first

get used with the orthodox

rather than with

the unconventional kinds.

Huh? But

It was only after Hizutome-kun reached certain

level of skill that he becomes a fre

Ahem, I mean, got his eccentric taste.

I get that you don't want to hold him back,

but it's always better to start

by solidifying your basics.

Basics?

There is actually a game even that

eccentric boy will highly likely play.

What's that?!

The complete opposite of trash game,

a god-tier game!

A game with outstanding

thirty million players count!

Shangri-La Frontier!

SLF in short

I've heard of it.

My sister is obsessed over it.

How about you ask

your sister to teach you stuff

and become strong enough there

that you can give him guidance?

Guidance

Y-You're right!

Thank you for your purchase!

I'll become strong enough so I can

teach Hizutome-kun lots of stuff!

Mana has yet to know.

That her good-willed advice

would lead to the creation

of one addict in the world of SLF.
