There are countless number

Standing atop of those many titles

The game that earned
the reputation of being a god-tier game,
Shangri-La Frontier.
The boy who loves trash game,
Rakuro Hizutome
challenges the god-tier game,
Shangri-La Frontier!
What kind of adventure
awaits him in his path?
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
How about the three of us
beat the Unique Monster,
Wethermon the Tombguard together?
Actually, in two weeks
I'm gonna be fighting this
"Wethermon the Tombguard" guy.
So while I'm at that, I'm thinking
of having you out of the party
What's the matter?
Did you say Wethermon?!!!
What?
I'll go tell Dad right away!
(Shining True)
Emul told me the news.
But I wanna hear it
straight from yer mouth.
Is it true that you're going
to pick a fight with that death defier?
Death defier?
Is he talking about Wethermon?
What does that mean?
But more importantly
This sudden event has to be important.
To role-play in adherence
to this world and it's characters
That's the best tactic
I know in this situation.
Stay calm.
If I do this right, I might get some
valuable info about Wethermon.
I know I can do this.
I beat THAT Failia, after all.
I must persuade Vash.
The keyword is "Vorpal Soul."
Y'know as much, don't ya?
Just how weak ya still are!
True
I'm not taking this on because
I'm sure I can win Aniki.
What?
I will only be playing support.
My friend is taking the leading role.
Aniki, are you aware of what situation
Wethermon the Tombguard is in right now?
No I haven't met him
for quite some time ago.
According to my friends,
a group of PK'ers
Ah, excuse me.
A squad of murderer is using him
as a tool for their selfish benefit.
Since just by encountering him,
they can rack up tons of EXPs.
The one who proposed this plan
is a defector of said group.
But she wants to defeat Wethermon
the Tombguard once and for all.
And she's taking any measure needed.
No matter how much
measures you got,
if you ain't got no chance,
it's just suicide.
I don't recall teachin' you that Vorpal Soul
is bout going on a death mission.
Neither me nor anyone else involved
intended to lose from the start!
Me and my colleagues simply wants to
support this person's will to win against him.
We only have one chance.
Whatever the result, that'll be all.
What could you call coming to her aid
besides upholding my honor?
I know I'm still a mere upstart,
but I ask for two weeks.
That's all I will need.
Two weeks to take
this inexperience fool
and turn him into a worthy
challenger against a strong foe.
Honor, eh?
That man is a clumsy sort.
Is he talking about Wethermon?
He's overly serious,
not knowing when to stop.
He lost his wife over an insipid lie
and because of that,
he's cursed with an undying body.
He's now just a walking corpse,
left with nothing to end himself.
So
Somebody needs to put whip him
and put him to sleep.
I swore not to lay a paw
on him myself
But if ya insist that much,
I won't stop you.
B'sides, I've also got
my lovely daughter insisting.
Follow me.
How bout I lend ya
a little bit of my help?
A blacksmith forge?
Anyway, the event's rolling along now!
Woohoo! Good job, me!
Hey, Bilac!
You in?
Huh? Whatcha need, Boss?
Rare to see you here.
(Bilac)
This doesn't happen everyday.
Bee-neechan!
Hey, Emul!
Now comes another one
of Emul's siblings
Is all the rabbit in Rabituza
Vash's children?
That can't be
Hmm?
You the guy Boss and Emul told me about?
Hello.
He's Sunraku-san.
I see. Your eyes remind me of Evelle.
Evelle?
Another rabbit?!
Enough with the names, man!
Yeah. Without further ado,
show me your Vorpal weapons.
Huh?
Oh!
Seems like you got accepted
by your weapons nicely.
These blades got a nice look on them.
They oughta work fine.
Huh
Bilac, I'm gonna ascend these.
Ascend? What?
It's "ascend" as in "ascension."
(Ascend)
Really?
You're taking the hammer yourself?!
If yer gonna take on that death defier,
I can't just sit here
and do anything bout it.
Just hang on a sec!
I'll fire up the forge right away!
Do ya have any good material on you?
Like, something ya picked up after
a tough battle, or somethin'?
Hm? Tough battle?
If it's one that I struggle the most,
that'd be Lycagon
Though it was more of
a losing battle than anything.
And I already sold
the Mud Digger's materials.
I wouldn't call getting it was "tough,"
but I do have something
from a strong creature.
Lemme see it.
Oh?
A Quad Beetle Shell, eh?
It withstood a swarm
of Empire Bees for a long time.
I figure it'll work well as material.
Not bad.
Now, let's kick this off.
You're a lucky one, y'know that?
Our boss hasn't held a hammer
in a good few years.
Really? Um Bilac?
It hasn't been since he inherited
the role of "king" of Rabituza.
That's how I inherited his forge.
You didn't know, don't you,
Sunraku-san?
My dad Ahem.
Our boss is a blacksmith.
Blacksmith?
And he's no ordinary blacksmith.
His expertise in forging allows him
to call himself a "Master Craftsman."
And his know-how on Age of Divinity's
forgery makes him an "Ancient Craftsman."
And as a master of both,
he's a "Divine Craftsman."
The supreme blacksmith,
second to none.
That's our boss, all right.
Oh! He's starting, Sunraku-san!
What are those?
Magic circles?
They pop out with every strike,
then absorbed into the weapon!
Ascending involves reading the "memories"
and "experience" weapons earn in battle
remodeling them into
what they meant to be
In other words
It is a technique that ascend
weapons to their "true" form.
True form
Weapons with "Vorpal" in the name
remembers battles against strong foes.
He's taking their memories
of fighting in your hand
and the power of the strong foe
installed in the material you gave him
and mixes those two elements together
to change the weapons' very form.
Since you fought evenly
with Lycagon herself,
I can't wait to see what weapon
it will turn out.
In the dark night sky
The flame of the forge
Hm? He's singing something?
Sparks flies out
and consuming darkness.
The hammer dances,
the iron sings
With a ting and a clang,
and a ping and a ching.
You are a blade.
You are power.
Born from the earth,
fostering flame from burning trees
Forging the gold,
cooling it with water
The world spins,
but also freezes in place.
From gold to iron,
from iron to steel
From steel to blade,
from blade to sword
The sword shines in the bright sunrise
Reflecting the light,
and pierces the dark.
Sing, o world, to the dancing sword.
Good.
These Vorpal Choppers has
acquired their true form and name.
Those names
Moonblade Waxing
and Moonblade Waning!
A twin weapon?!
Two swords form one blade.
Only when paired together
will they show it's true value.
Still, haven't done a total
transformation in a while.
Oooh! Let's see!
For the Waxing one, when used
in a battle with a higher-level enemy
it decrease your HP
upon landing a critical,
but apply damage bonus
to your next attack.
And Waning refills your HP
under the same condition, huh
I see. So it's really a two-as-one set.
Oh? Fills up the fusion gauge
after landing several critical?
These weapons can fuse?!
Wooah! It's really, really amazing!
Hey! No copying me!
Let's equip these
and give them a try right away!
Huh? Insufficient stats?
W-Wait, calm down.
It's a simple math problem.
The total required stats is 150.
And my current total stats is 57
Since I get five points
for each time I level up
I can't equip these until I'm level 50?!
Well, that means you gotta hone yourself
till you can use 'em right.
Noooooo!
S-Sunraku-san?
Sunraku-san?
I wanna use 'em right now!!!
(Thirderma)
(The Serpent's Apple)
Um, right, so
(The Serpent's Apple)
Sorry. I'm late.
I do kinda feel bad about it, okay?
Do you have any last words to say?
You're over three hours late, man!
Don't expect us to forgive this so easily!
Actually, when I was working
on my own Unique stuff,
they brought up
Wethermon's name.
I figured it would be useful for us.
Okay. Spit it out,
and I'll forgive you.
Huh?! That easily?!
Still, you sure picked
a pretty cunning look, Katzo.
Or here should I say "OiKatzo"?
A play on oigatsuo soup base, eh?
(OiKatzo)I can't believe his taste in names
Since his real name
can spell out "katsuo,"
he always go with
fish-oriented names.
I don't want to hear that from
someone looking like you.
People ougtha to call 911
when they see your avatar.
Hmph, I bet you wouldn't know
how tough it was for me to get here.
This is place in the town's
least populated back alleys,
so you're safe here.
No wonder it was so hard to find.
Now then, let's get things moving.
Tell me what you've learned.
Okay.
I see.
So he called Wethermon the Tombguard
a "death defier" and a "walking corpse," huh.
So he's some kinda undead monster?
Yeah. Now that I think about it,
he was pretty stiff at the start.
I see.
I thought he was a cyborg-type.
But if he's an undead,
a few things start to make sense.
You think this info will help us?
I got somewhere else to go to now.
I might not be back until night.
Sure, but what we'll do for now?
For the meantime,
you guys can have these.
So go grinding in
Iron Ruins of the Divinity.
Grinding? Well, that's fine by me.
A map
and a fishing pole?
You will know once you get there.
I was wondering since you came
Sunraku-kun, do you really
meant to conceal her like that?
What are you saying?
This is the latest fashion trend.
Huh? What's this about?
It actually works on someone
I guess you won't think much
about it if you don't know about her?
Well, whatever.
See you guys again tonight!
Sure!
See ya!
All right! We should get going too!
Iron Ruins of the Divinity, right?
I'll search out a safe route through
the back alleys. Hang on a sec.
Aw, what a pain.
Do I have to go all stealth with you too?
Sunraku-san, Sunraku-san!
My ears are starting to ache!
Can I move just a little bit?
What?! Sunraku!
Your equipment just talked!
It just talked, didn't it?!
Aw, c'mon. I was waiting to see
when he'd finally notice.
Sorry
Is that the NPC
from the Unique I heard about?!
Let me take a closer look!
What are you doing?!
L-Let go of me!
Man, I wanna have one too!
A Unique Scenario!
Find one yourself.
Oh! Here we go!
We're finally at the entrance!
Man, how nice!
Unique is so nice!
That's all you've been saying!
Let's get going!
I wanna get up to level 50 ASAP!
Sure, sure.
Y'know, this is actually my first time
being in a party in SLF.
This also my first time
with an actual player.
Oh?
This place looks completely
different to everything else in the game.
Looks like fun.
Yeah! The Iron Ruins of the Divinity, huh.
(Iron Ruins of the Divinity)
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 despair, 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!

(#16 Sunraku's Theme Song)
Sparks flies out
and consuming darkness.
The hammer dances,
the iron sings
With a ting and a clang,
and a ping and a ching.
You are a blade.
You are power.
So cool
Such a nice song.
Oh right, why don't you try showing up
while singing a theme song?
A theme song?
Coo, coo, coo.
Pigeon goes "coo" and "coo".
He wants some beans,
let's do this.
Who you callin' pigeon?!
But that suits you.
She's right.
Suits what?!
There.
