What kind of adventure
awaits him in his path?
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, let's climb it up right away!
Just you wait!
Crystal Scorpion!
First, I use Moon Jumper to
boost my vertical jumping.
(Moon Jumper)
Then, Six-Boat Leap!
An above level 100 monster,
Crystal Scorpion
I wonder what they're like.
Since I'm this close to them,
it'd be rude not to say hi!
If there's unknown field and
monster right under my nose,
how am I gonna say no to that?
How could I not be reckless in a game?!
Whoa! What's all this?!
It feels so otherworldly
compared to down below!
(Crystal Cliff Nests)
It's really hard to walk in.
It got terrible foothold, but
Well
I wonder what these
Crystal Scorpions are like
The type that camouflage
with the background, eh?
Been wanting to see you,
Crystal Scorpion!
(Crystal Scorpion)
Whoa! That was close!
This dude's out of control!
Taking advantage of this rugged
terrain to corner players, eh?
What's the matter?
Is charging in all you can do?
My first trip here was just to say hi.
Not even I think
I could beat it right now.
I'll just tour the area, pick up
some rare materials, and head back.
That's my mission for this run!
If I can complete that,
I'll count this as a win.
Huh?
(Crystal Scorpions)
They're a crazy bunch
that not even I can handle.
Crystal Scorpions comes in a pack,
so if they find ya, that's it.
She was right
This is it
When will Sunraku-san come back?
Could it be he couldn't find
his way back to Rabituza?!
Maybe I should've waited for him
in Eighdold?
Goddammit!
There's just so freaking many of them!
Those scorpion bastards!
Emul, hey.
Open the gate to Eighdold.
Sunraku-san
I knew it! You went off to fight
Crystal Scorpion, weren't you?!
Ah, crap.
We told you Crystal Scorpions
are dangerous!
What a pain
Did you say something?!
Here, the carrot I promised you!
Yay!
This is so tasty!
It worries me how easy you are to trick.
All right, I'll give it another try.
Are you really going?
I can't just quit now without
earning something out of it.
And it's no longer my first time.
I'm not coming back empty-handed.
All right.
Slow, stealthy movements.
There's actually one spot
that grabbed my attention.
Oh, there it is.
I had a glance at it just
before I got killed.
That awfully colorful growth practically
begging you to hit it with an pickaxe.
This must be an item
you can only get from here.
Ah
Dammit!
I ain't giving up yet!
(Overheat
Climax Boost
Nitro Gain)
I'll mine this even if it kills me!
You came back awfully fast this time.
(Respawn
Rabituza Inn)
It's no use.
Their huge size and speed
And the overwhelming number
in a hard to navigate area
They just won't let me
leave there alive.
That's what I've been telling you!
Yeah.
But I told you, didn't I?
I ain't coming back empty-handed!
Let's see
Let's see!
Aroncaleth Hard Lapis.
"A crystal formation packed with
extremely dense magic power
created by a repeated process
of compression and purification
conducted by ore-consuming
monsters over vast periods of time."
"Its dazzling shades of blue carries
the memories of the land itself."
I'm not sure what this is for,
but I'm sure it's all worth the effort.
I'll check the wiki later.
Are you happy now?
Right.
I kinda hate to call it off,
but I better rest for today.
Rest well.
Crystal Scorpions
If I vibrate the crystal just a little bit,
they'll come in a horde and hard to deal with.
But to be honest,
their AI isn't that smart.
Go to sleep~
Go to sleep~
All they do is charging towards
you with all their strength,
so they keep smacking into each others,
ripping off their shells and all
Wait, wait, wait!
Maybe I could get those
torn-off shells as an item?!
Man, I want to find out!
Now that it crossed my mind,
I've got to find out!
Emul, open the gate!
I'll go again!
What? You haven't given up yet?
You're going to get pummeled!
As long as the unknown lies there,
an adventurer will not fear death!
All I see is greed
But assuming I can harvest them
How do I retrieve them?
Honestly, I only got that
crystal ore 'cuz I got lucky.
Sheesh.
Hmm?
The mana I need to open
these gates isn't free, you know?
That's it!
Thanks for the hint, Emul!
This will work!
Wh-What are you talking about?!
Just you wait!
I'm gonna take that crystal minefield
crawling with above level 100 scorpions
and make it into
the easiest game in the world!
Please put me down!
You're too slow, dude!
I'm over here!
Whoa! So scary!
Oh dear no, I'm surrounded.
What am I ever gonna do?!
I'm doomed!
Just kidding.
(Six-Boat Leap)
Six-Boat Leap!
There we go!
Those shells definitely shattered!
Now I'm in the scorpion blender, eh?
Given the chance, I wouldn't
mind experiencing that
But I'm afraid it might traumatize me,
so I'll have to pass this time.
Enter Travel!
Hurray for advanced civilization!
Hurray for Inventoria!
Technology always gets the last laugh!
I got this idea after
seeing Emul use an item.
If I use this Inventoria to instantly teleport
myself like I do with items and weapons
I can retreat to safety
anytime I want to!
If I use it the right way,
this Inventoria can be crazy powerful.
Well, let's try going back now
Exit Travel!
(Dropped Item
Crystal Leg)
(Dropped Item
Crystal Scorpion's Crystal Shell)
(Dropped Item
Crystal Pincer)
(Dropped Item
Crystal Claw)
Woohoo!
Just as I thought,
the Crystal Scorpions just left!
I can harvest as much as I want!
Materials from such strong monsters
has to be super rare.
I bet Bilac could make
insane stuff with them!
Well done, me! I'm such a genius!
I'll make each and every one of you
into materials.
I don't care if there are dozens or
hundreds of you. Come out now!
Just you wait, Bilac!
I'll gather a bunch
and bring them all to you!
There's a limit on how much
a player could carry.
If you carry too much, it will weight
you down and hinder your movement.
But
No matter how much you hoard
with the Inventoria Storage Key,
you will receive no penalty!
If I make full use of it
I can obtain materials from above level
100 Crystal Scorpions as much as I want!
Hurray for Inventoria!
I can just wait inside Inventoria
until the scorpions' hate on me expires
and wait there for the right
moment to return, and voila!
The Crystal Scorpions will disperse
and go back into camouflage mode
leaving behind all the dropped items
generated from the crash!
Using this kind of trick
is what makes gaming fun!
I'll be swimming in valuable items!
That said
I am running sort on MP by now.
I can access Inventoria
maybe one more time.
All right, I think I farmed all
dropped item from this place.
Let's go one more time around
and leave!
But man, just looking at rare
dropped item list is so satisfying.
Hm? Hmm? Huh?
Hang on
I don't have the stinger yet!
There's no way a scorpion type
wouldn't drop a stinger, right?
It's their most prominent part!
Are those stingers durable enough
to withstand random clashes?
If so, it could mean one thing
That Crystal Scorpion stingers
could be a rare dropped item.
Now I get it.
Now I gotta get my hands on one.
But
If I want to obtain that rare item,
I'll need to face above level
100 monsters in bad terrain
and specifically aim
to break their stinger.
On top of that, the part I want is so
tough that normal attacks won't scratch it.
Whoa, there. Sounds like something
you'd find in a trash game.
But that what makes it fun!
I'll do it!
I'll destroy your proud stinger,
no matter what it takes!
I'll even stake my name
as a trash game player on it!
(Overheat
Climax Boost
Nitro Gain)
All those buffs, and not even a scratch?
I'm not surprised,
but it sure is tough.
I'm not seeing even a crack!
I saw this coming,
but my strength's not gonna cut it.
I'll have to focus all the other scorpions'
attack solely on the stingers!
I can't full control
the enemy's movement,
but I'll have to game the RNG
to give me the best possible results!
As a gamer,
that's just in my nature!
Dodge the stinger strike,
and land on top of it.
Goad the other scorpions into
attacking me as much as I can.
I can do this!
This pattern's gonna work!
This is the only chance I have!
Enter Travel!
And back to the real space right away!
I'm in perfect position!
The RNG goddess is smiling at me!
Now that the stinger
is this wrecked
Glowing Pierce!
Break the hell off!
Woohoo! Take that!
A feat like this is a piece of cake
for a guy like me!
The rare drop is mine!
Once I have in it hand,
I'll still have it even if they
kill me right afterward
Huh? Wait
Excuse me?
It's kinda farther than I thought
Huh? You're kidding me
Just a bit more
If I was just jumping at
a slightly different angle
I'd be able to grab it
Hey, can you hear me?
RNG goddess!
Why do you have to be so cruel to me?
A-Are you okay, Sunraku-san?
You haven't been moving at all,
and you're quivering quite a bit.
You can break the scorpion stingers
and obtain it
At least knowing that is a step forward
It's good enough.
Like hell it is!
It means nothing if I couldn't get one!
RNG goddess my ass!
You crappy wench!
The fact I was just one step away
makes it hurt even worse!
And also, why does that
blender I keep falling into
never break this stupid
bird mask off my head?!
Some kinda miracle?!
Why do I get miracle RNG draw for that!
That pissed me off even more!
Sunraku-san is acting unstable
I did get a little carried away.
I don't want to see any
scorpion for a while.
There's only one way for me
to mentally recover from this
What is that?
I'll show off my cool harvest and
have her praise the hell out of me!
What?!
I'm sure she'd understand just how
valuable the materials I gathered!
We have no time to lose!
Let's go, Emul!
Ye Yessir
In the end, the most
exciting moments are when
I get to show off my
exploits to other people!
That is quite a depraved
way of thinking
Heh, tough luck!
That's just a compliment to my ears!
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 seperation,
melted by the rain
A fragrant Rain Tree
Memories are overflowing
I want to meet you
Heaven in the Rain
SLF Theater!
Mini!
(Equip)
(Cannot equip)
(Equip)
Curses you, Lycagon!
What's the matter?
Wasting your effort again?
There's actually a glitch
you can pull at a low chance
that lets you bypass Lycagon's
curse and equip armor.
Well, it is free to dream.
But beyond that, it'll cost you.
What a cruel world!
Oh, that reminds me.
A lot has fought Lycagon before, right?
It just that nobody beaten her yet.
Hmm, yeah. Momo-cha
I mean, my friend, is trying
to take her down quite seriously.
But she hasn't defeated her, right?
Don't say that in front of her, okay?
I did, though.
Seriously?
Anyway, just for reference,
how did she fight her?
From what I heard, when she tried
to ambush her with a V-shaped formation,
she got behind them and
knocked them away like bowling pins.
Hmm?
Then she also tried Dynamite
Bone-in Meat Muscle Burst
She said that worked pretty well.
Come again?
Oh, look at the time.
Sorry, I got stuff to do early
in the morning, so I'm off now.
Wha, hold on!
At least explain that last part!
Dynamite Bone-in Meat Muscle Burst?
Dynamite Bone-in Meat Muscle Burst?
Dynamite Bone-in Meat Muscle Burst
S-Sunraku-san,
what on earth is that?
It's Dynamite Bone-in Meat Muscle Burst!
Dynamite Bone-in Meat Muscle Burst?
And the finishing dynamite
In other words, explosive.
That would be you, Emul.
J-Just what do you plan to do with me?
Explosive? You want to blow me up?
You'll become one
Become a dynamite!
PLEASE NO!!!
