ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 316 Part 1

ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 316: Impressive Giant Poor Elephant (Except Only at the End) Part 1

Cloud Diving Elephant. From the player’s perspective it could be said that it possesses the mimicry ability that lets it hide amongst the clouds, which means that it is different from all the other monsters out here. It can control the environment to some extent here.

The Elephant lets out a mighty roar and then its trunk starts to suck in the surrounding clouds from the ground, which makes the clouds disappear and makes the surrounding area more visible. Just like a water level in the water tank when you open the sluice gate.

I see, so that was the reason why the bees were not trying to run away even though they were being slaughtered like that. They were still holding such an ace up their sleeves!

「Emul!」

「Yes!? What is it!?」

「Rejoice, my friend! I guess that there will be an occasion here to display my Vorpal Soul once more after all!」

「Fufufu! Me as well! I’ll show them the power of the new and improved me!」

Hishyaaa!!! Emul lets out a hiss that was more suitable for a cat rather than a bunny, and then he hops back onto the top of my head, where he makes himself comfortable and combat ready. We both then look at the Cloud Diving Elephant, who was still sucking in the clouds with its trunk.

「Emul, for now you wait. I will go on and attack this thing, trying to knock it off balance. Once it falls on its back, it’s your turn…… You go on and cast Magic Edge as much as possible! In that position it should not be able to dodge it in any way.」

「I like the sound of that!」

Emul nodded his head, and it was about that same time that the Cloud Diving Elephant pointed its trunk at us and started to sprinkle the accumulated clouds from the inside of its trunk our way.

For a monster of this size it was surely a peculiar attack to have, so I guess instead of attacking directly it was more like a big boss creating a smoke screen that would make it easier for its subordinates to do its dirty work for it…… There!

「Uwah, really? I did not expect that attack to hit its mark like at all!」

With the cloud screen emitted by the Cloud Diving Elephant, the Dominion Hornets went on the offensive here, thinking that they would be able to ambush us thanks to the lowered visibility. But then, one of them met with the business end of Duxaram as I swung it in the general direction where they were coming from. The blade hit its mark and the Dominion Hornet was blown away. Oho? Was that also a critical hit right there?

「That’s nice and all, but for the time being it would be best to evacuate from this thing and come into the open……!」

That, but there was also something else. For a moment now, I was feeling this strange kind of pressure all over my body…… Oh wow, that was close! This is bad!

「EMUL!」

「“MAGIC EDGE”!!!」

Just a second later after I jumped to the side, a huge elephant leg came down onto the place where I was standing a moment ago. Unfortunately for the Elephant, what was waiting for its leg was not me, but the Magic Edge that Emul released just now.

Apparently, the VIT stat of this Elephant was set really high, for even though the Magic Edge connected with it, it did not seem to have caused that much damage.

「That being said, it is a magic attack, so it is not as though it was completely useless here…… Alright, Emul! Brace yourself! That was just a trial! The really battle is about to start!」

「R-Right, I understand…… But still, don’t you need at least little bit of time for preparations and such?」

「That’s not a problem…… I’m not as weak and careless to let a bunch of small fries get the better of me. Aren’t you the same here, Emul?」

When it comes to that Elephant, it seemed to have arrived extraordinarily fast on the battlefield once it was called by its allies, but aside from that, its own speed does not seem to be all that great. Additionally, you cannot really hope to run fast or be agile with a body and mass this huge.

Rather, it would have been the epitome of a shitty game if a monster so huge was also agile beyond belief. That would have been an overkill. That is why I believe that the behavior pattern of Cloud Diving Elephant should be a whole lot closer to the way in which real elephants tend to act. Let’s not forget what we have come here for…… The materials! This elephant is just a punching bag standing in my way!

At the same time, it seems that even more Dominion Hornets have arrived from somewhere else. Their movements were no well-coordinated, and they were trying to gradually push us back towards the cloud screen created by the Elephant.

However, they seem to be misunderstanding something here. They may think that they are pressuring us and that they have the advantage here. However, what they are doing right now is simply grouping up, which will allow us to kill them all even more easily!!

「ORA! ORA! Out of the way! Out of my way!!!」

Insects, there is a thing that you lack in here, and that thing is stride. If you knew what is best for you here, you would adopt the hit and run tactics instead of pressing the attack constantly all the time. But hey, I appreciate the fact that you seem to be so eager to die.

But anyways……

「When you are all lined up like that you are just the easier targets for me! Now give me those sweet rare materials!」

Shame on you! You are the ones I am after here, not the Elephant! I mean, I will kill the Elephant as well, but later! It will have to wait patiently for its turn!

That is why I keep on slashing through the Dominion Hornets for now, occasionally avoiding the stampede of the Cloud Diving Elephant.

As long as this type of hunting game is on, it should be guaranteed that the Dominion Hornets should keep on coming here. I wish that other materials hunting would be so easy, or that the Nightprowler Luukan would be like that Cloud Diving Elephant here. Then my life would have been so much easier here.

「It seems to me that there is a whole lot of them, but they will probably not spawn infinitely. I wonder if they are eventually going to back away when they realize that their trump card is not working here anymore……?」

I am glad that the materials just keep on piling up, but if it is their only strategy to kill me, then this is going to become pretty much dull in no time. I have collected a hefty amount of materials here already and I could leave at any moment if I wanted to…… But truth to be told, I am yet to finish the main dish here.

「Are you ready to do this, Emul!?」

I can feel that Emul patted my head twice. One time was for negation, so two times mean……

「How about we make some flashy actions, wrap it up and call it a day?」

Two pats is the positive affirmation. With the Emul turret sitting on my head, we finish the Dominion Hornets around us and then we turn towards the only thing that was left in the vicinity…… the Cloud Diving Elephant.

「This actually reminds me of the bullfighting I once saw on TV…… Hmm, a piece of cloth, a piece of cloth?」

When I try to swing my Star Cloak like a piece of cloth a matador would swing at the bull, it seems that even the Hornet-summoned Elephant realized that it was currently being ridiculed. It then let out a load roar that might have very well been a warcry and started stampeding my way in a fit of rage. Great. This is going to do it just fine.

Now I wonder…… could it be that it actually has a grudge against me for killing the Hornets? Or maybe it simply charges at me because it was taunted like that? Right now this Elephant is charging straight at us, kicking the surrounding clouds away with little to no consideration for anything else around it.

「Hey, Emul? The trembling is really annoying, so pull yourself together and stop shaking.」

「……!?!?」

It was actually surprising just how calm I was in this situation. I did not think about the stampeding Elephant, but the only thoughts on my mind were to forehead flick Emul for distracting me. Just like that, the moment of collision was approaching fast.
