01x23 - Bird with Rabbits vs. Skeletal Choir

[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

All right!

Bilac's training arc now begins!

Begins!

Y-Yeah!

Right! First we stop by Fourfolkshire,

and to the Inner Canyon of Ancient Souls!

Now go, bird-man!

We need to get that Magic Application Unit

to make Bilac an Ancient Craftsman.

(Bird + Rabbits vs. Skull Choir)

(Inner Canyon of Ancient Souls)

Man, this area's so simple.

Normally, this place is dangerous

with all the miasma and the undeads.

But thanks to Sunraku-san's Mark,

the miasma is cleared and

monsters are running away.

It's like a light stroll.

Yeah, but you two

Can you walk by yourselves already?!

Nah, it's a pain to walk.

If I stick to you and yer

Night Emperor's Mark,

we can save up on Holy Water.

Just give up.

I am not an air purifier!

Just keep on walking.

A half-naked bird-head walking through

miasma with two rabbits on his shoulder

This is not quite the fantasy

I was expecting

Say, what's up there above the fog?

I think I could climb up there.

Huh?

Maybe the above would be a faster route?

If you have a dead wish,

then sure, be my guest.

But I sure ain't.

Hm?

Above the Inner Canyon of Ancient Souls,

there's a ton of really nasty

monsters called Crystal Scorpions.

Crystal Scorpion?

They're a crazy bunch

that not even I can handle.

Crystal Scorpions come in a pack,

so if they find ya, that's it.

That means they're over level 100?

So it's like a shortcut

for veteran players?

Hm?

I think I just saw something up there.

Is it just me?

What? You sure it ain't

a Crystal Scorpion?!

If even one of them finds you,

a dozen of them will come along!

W-We better get a move on, quick!

We're after the area boss, remember?

Yeah, yeah. I hear you.

Crystal Scorpion, huh.

Maybe I should try taking one on sometime.

Were you not listening at all?!

Please don't do it, even as a joke!

What? A black dome?

We're here.

This must be where the Area Boss is.

There isn't any other player, is there?

They want us to fight inside, huh?

Well, let's get this over with

and keep going.

Here we go!

We're countin' on you, bird-man!

Sunraku-san!

Well, well.

Yeah.

There she is.

I could imagine some people

liking a design like this.

Humming Lich

From the looks of it, she's some kind

of curse-type skeleton.

In that case, before she

throws any annoying attacks

Let's go for a preemptive strike!

Hang on, she's

Huh? No hitbox?

You moron!

Physical attack won't work on her

without the Holy attribute!

What?! I don't have anything with that!

So much miasma!

I feel kind of tingly!

It's the source of the miasma!

It's full of grudges

and death in this area!

It ain't no normal miasma!

Huh? We're completely fine.

Thanks to Sunraku-san's Mark!

I took a little damage,

but it's nullifying the debuff.

Didn't expect it to work

against an Area Boss, too.

But wait

If neither I nor she can

strike for damage

Oh crap, this will take forever.

What'll we do?

That's why I told you

to prepare properly!

Sheesh.

You're so helpless.

You, buy some time for me.

I'll do something 'bout this!

Wait, Sunraku-san!

Why are you attaching me to your arm?!

You're the only one who

can hit her right now!

I call this "Rabbit g*n: Palm Turret"!

Not again!

I'll give you carrots later.

Carrots?!

Don't worry!

We just have to buy some time.

No need to beat her.

But they do say offense

is the greatest defense.

Let's go out all the way!

Go, Emul!

Yessir!

It's all or nothing!

Magic Edge!

Hell yeah! It worked!

Bilac-san!

Exactly how much longer do you need?

I can't toss this together

that easily, okay?

Gimme a damn minute!

Okay!

This is gonna be a rush job, but

With this Holy Water, I'll make this

rusty Dullahan General's Decapitator

into a weapon that works

against the Humming Lich!

You're not "dead" yet!

So many arms growing out of nowhere!

It's "very easy" compared to

Wethermon's attacks!

Fire!

Y-Yessir!

Magic Edge!

You got her!

Th-There are seven of them now

And each of them is

wielding a different weapon.

This is too much!

Tch, dodging all of them

is such a pain!

They're coming!

Take this!

Bird-man!

Whoa! This used to be so rusty,

but you sure polished it up nicely!

I ain't got no furnace or anvil.

It's a total bodge,

but I buffed it up with Holy Water.

You can hit big with it.

Now that sword can even

cut the reaper himself.

But in exchange, it's beyond fragile.

I'd give it eight strikes.

Anything more, it gonna snap.

Keep that in mind.

I see, so you're saying

I gotta need to beat them all

in eight strikes, eh?

It's like a challenge quest, isn't it?

Are they singing?

I'm kind of scared.

A septet of seven singing skulls, huh.

Hence the name "Humming Lich."

A choir of skulls, huh.

It's only been about eight minutes

since the battle started.

Bilac, stick close to me!

Whatcha goin' to do?

First, we test them.

I want to learn about

how those copies work.

Skill, Drift Step!

For a moment there

Yeah, the main one that didn't

take damage still flinched.

That means the copies share

the same HP pool as the main one.

And seeing how she flinched

after taking just one hit,

she shouldn't have that much HP.

I've got a plan.

Emul! Bilac!

I'll explain to you fast.

What?!

You're telling me to do that?!

Bilac, weapons are meant

to be used to win a fight.

If you can't win with it,

that's rude to the weapon, isn't it?

Well then, I'm counting on you.

Okay, it's almost ten minutes.

Let's do this with all the buff we got!

All buffed out!

Emul! Brush off those

in our way with Magic Edge!

Yessir!

The buff skill that I couldn't use

against the Dullahan General

because it can't be used until

ten minutes after the start of a battle,

Overheat!

And then, Nitro Gain!

(Nitro Gain

Recast time: 1 second

Receive damage for 20% of maximum HP and increase Strength and Agility.)

The real value of this skill

doesn't lie in the buff,

but in the "damage control" you get

from the 20% of max HP decrease.

It's a way of adjusting my HP to

make full use of cl*max Boost!

Magic Edge!

All right! The path is cleared!

We'll start with that annoying bow!

Six-Boat Leap!

And this Decapitator's weapon trait

Bonus to attack on the head!

Plus a buffed critical hit

I can finish off a copy

in one strike!

Let's go, Emul!

We're taking down the axe now!

Roger that!

All left are five copies

and the main one!

And I have seven strikes left

with this sword!

Magic Edge!

And I have one more restriction

Once five minutes pass,

Overheat will greatly lower all my stats,

and I wouldn't be able to

beat my enemy in one hit.

That's why

I'll end this before that happens!

He might have Emul's support,

but to be able to fend off all their

attacks and even counter them

No wonder he beat a Colossus.

All right.

I'll play along with yer plan!

I've got two strikes left.

And all left is

The main one with the staff!

I'm counting on you, Emul!

For what?!

For the finishing blow, of course!

Magic Edge!

Well done, Emul!

Skill

Glowing Pierce!

I knew it, it would take more than me

to take the main one out.

Good job holding out, Decapitator.

Sorry, but we need you to

hold out for one more hit.

Let's end this, Bilac!

Six-Boat Leap!

Here goes!

Material Focus!

And then

Fortress Breaker!

(Fortress Breaker)

Woohoo!

That was a human

No, a Rabbit Pile Bunker!

Ever since I heard what

the two did in the Kirin battle

I've wanted to try it out!

(Sunraku)

You idiot! What if I died from that?!

You're the one who threw me up there!

Now's not the time

to be stoogin' around!

Looks like I can still fix it up.

I can't exactly do it right away, though.

You two! Let's rush to Eighdold!

What? At least let me take

my time checking out my loot first.

That said

They are all magic or

shaman-related items.

Not for me.

Is it just me,

or the fog is thinning out?

It's because the source

of the miasma is gone.

Sunraku-san, you're not thinking

something nefarious, are you?

Heavens no, I would never!

Quit yammerin' and let's get going!

(Inner Canyon of Ancient Souls)

(Eighdold)

(The Eighth Town

Eighdold)

(Update Landmark?)

(No) (Yes)

All right, now I can go between

Eighdold and Rabituza with Emul's gate.

Okay, so now what?

I wanna go back to Rabituza and

fix up Dullahan General's Decapitator.

Right.

Then how about we disband

and take a break?

You can go chill in Rabituza

for now, Emul.

Huh? Why?

I'm in a new town, so of course

I wanna explore the place.

Your disguise is too avant-garde,

it makes me stand out.

Hmm? Sounds like you're up to no good.

I'll get you plenty of carrots later.

Carrots!

A-Ahem!

I-If you insist, then okay!

But don't do anything

too reckless, all right?

Yeah, I got it.

Again, nothing too reckless, okay?

I'll be fine.

There, just get going.

Nothing too reckless, huh?

When people are told not to do something,

the more they want to do it!

Just like in the story of Pandora's Box.

Zeus must've given Pandora the box

knowing she would open it.

Even with the awareness that it will

unleash all the evils of the world.

She can't resist the temptation.

That's just how humans work.

(Inner Canyon of Ancient Souls)

All right, let's climb it up right away!

Just you wait!

Crystal Scorpion!

If I have a lingering regret

That would be

the "farewell" I couldn't say

This regret alone knows no end

Is it because I ran away,

from the eventual end?

The seed you planted

Has turned into a giant banyan tree

And now crying as it hangs its branches

"I love you"

Just that one thing

Just that simple phrase

I wish I could have said that

This eternal separation,

melted by the rain

A fragrant Rain Tree

Memories are overflowing

I want to meet you

Heaven in the Rain

SLF Theater!

(Emul's Sleep Talk)

Mini!

(Emul's Sleep Talk)

(Emul's Sleep Talk)

This enemy is too strong!

Man, what kind of dream is she having?

Oooh! What a big carrot!

We could make a carrot house

with this!

I'm so happy!

Wait! My ears are turning into carrots!

Oh! You two are the king and queen

of the carrot kingdom!

Please shake my hand!

Aww, Sunraku-san!

You want me to pamper

you that badly?

You're like my youngest brother!

There, there. Who's the good boy?

Really, what dream is she having?
