ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 281: Sword Wolf Turns Out to Be a Thunderfire Beast Part 11 Part 1

  

My body keeps on burning up all this time, and it is going to take a while before I will be able to move normally. However, even with basic movements available to me, it is more than enough to shake off the swords that Saiga-100 was throwing my way.

 

Also, my HP is constantly being cut in half here, and in the not so distant future it is going to reach the level of one HP.

 

When your bones are being crushed no shackles can hold you for long, especially since the Overflow status and the buffs from Dis Patter are strengthening me further. This gives me all the advantage that I need.

 

[Let me give you a little handicap by saying this: right about now, even a single basic attack is going to be more than enough to bring me down.]

 

[Does that mean that you have finally run out of trump cards? Then allow me to respond in kind!]

 

The chant changes and the swords disappear only to appear once again before my eyes.

 

[This is going to combine the “Sword Art” with the Holy Sword for the maximum efficiency.]

 

Six swords appear in the air, and the seventh sword, the one that was going to conduct all the rest, was in Saiga-100’s hand. Then Saiga-100 lifts her free hand up, preparing her next move.

 

At that time, the six swords that were floating behind Saiga-100’s arm all rose up and one after another bit into her arm.

 

[There is only one simple solution if you want to use this trump card on demand. Thais: self-harm! The damage shall activate the ability of the Holy Sword……!]

 

[Does that mean Overcoming Adversity is coming!?]

 

[This scene is already one big adversity for our guild…… Dominion! Evilomis! Vandal Grey! Funk Fang! Grat Blood! Uroborosa! …… And then finally: Excalibur!]

 

Damn, I never would have thought that she might be hiding something so cool.

 

The six swords inflict self-harm upon Saiga-100, and when her HP falls below a certain level, the additional ability of Holy Sword Excalibur would also activate.

 

Certainly, it was a pretty effective way of giving yourself a power boost when you have found yourself in a tight spot. However, it was also the action that would require utmost confidence in your abilities and in the fact that you are going to settle the battle. Compared to that, my current state was simply laughable.

 

[Now then……]

 

This is it. The crucial moment is here. There is actually a time limit on Dis Pater’s buffing ability. And that limit is determined by the strength of the magic attack the shield managed to absorb. And even though you would think that such a powerful attack like that thunder beast a moment ago would last for quite a while, in reality it only managed to buy me about three minutes of powered up statistics.

 

However, I am in no position to complain. Because there was also a limit of magic power that the shield can absorb into itself. And if you exceed that limit, you might damage the shield or break it completely. So I would say that it’s a fair trade off.

 

[I will rip you to pieces!]

 

[Come right at me!]

 

A self-injury with a holy sword would be more than enough to invoke the ability of the Holy Sword Excalibur here. And what’s more, there must have been a crazy amount of planning to that move just now, as the overall damage that the player were to inflict onto themselves through the Holy Swords must have not been too small and not too large. I guess it would have to sit at reducing the player’s overall HP pool by eighty percent or so.

 

On the other hand, I was always balancing on a really thin line here, offsetting the curses that were inflicted upon me and making up for my weaknesses. And right about now I am a player who is a mixture of both flame and thunder, looking for a way to overcome the adversity that is right in front of me.

 

I cannot stop thinking here that what we did was very similar. The actual process of getting there might be different, but the core concept should remain the same.

 

In other words, this battle right now is going to see which one of us is better and stronger: my “Handicapped Mobility-Based Dual-Wielding Swordfighter” or Saiga-100’s “Adversity Overcoming, Holy Sword Fighting, Wounds Self-Inflicting Magic Swordfighter.”

 

And it would be that kind of a fight that no ordinary players would possibly hope to replicate, one that would be most probably settled with a single blow or something similar to that.

 

There is no grudge in between us. No hate and no resentment. Right about now we just want to use one another as sandbags to test our true strength, and to see if we are indeed worthy of challenging and overcoming Nightprowler Luukan.

 

Player versus player battles are the crowning jewel of ShangriLa Frontier. There is no need for intricate strategies or anything like that here, you just go all out in hope of besting your opponent who is doing the same thing.

 

If the seven swords will try to fall down on me all at once, my flames and black thunder will block them. And if my flames and black thunder try to reach out to her, Saiga-100’s holy swords will block them without fail.

 

I am sure that the onlookers must also be quite fascinated with the spectacle that takes place right before their very eyes. I mean, it was the current onlooker that really started this whole mess to begin with, so they better enjoy it. But no matter all the things surrounding this battle, right about now it is not important. Right now there is only one important matter here: which one will win? And I guess we are about to find it out soon enough.

 

Her eyes glitter like crystals. I am sure that mine are just the same.
