ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 362: Vice Is a Poison That Is As Sweet As a Honey Part 2
After five minutes of this state, yet another status comes into effect: “Starvation Depletion”. After one minute of this status effect, alongside continuous rampage, the monster’s HP will drop to zero and the player will return to normal.
Just who the hell are you!? Don’t you know? I’m you! No, that’s impossible! I have lost! Still, that does not change the fact that I am you! I am your blood! You blood, you hear me! I am your flesh! I’m the “Red” one! Your very soul is me! And I am hungry! So unbelievably hungry! And you are me! And we are the last ones! And we are hungry! So unbelievably hungry! You are hungry as well, admit it! There is no reason to fight it! And that is exactly why…… That is why we are going to devour everything! Every last bit! Until there is nothing else left! Until we are satisfied!
………………
「………………」
Take a deep breath, and then exhale. Now take another deep breath, and then exhale one more time. Right, now watch closely, Emul…… I’m going to show you probably the only useful way in which we can use this item here.
「THIS THING HAS ALMOST THE SAME EFFECT AS R.I.P, BUT IT’S ACTUALLY EVEN WORSE!!!!!!??????」
And there it is, ladies and gentlemen! We have a homerun! With that, I kick the skull items so hard that it flies through the air at tremendously high speed.
「Whoa, is that a bird!? Or maybe a plane……!?」
「I think that this is actually a hat trick!」
「Afuhn!」
Having kicked the red skull a couple of times in a row and listening to Tottori and Deepslaughter’s commentary, I finally managed to start to calm down a little bit. And then, when my head finally cooled down, I went to pick it up and store it inside of my inventory.
And now that I think about it, those two items are not entirely identical, R.I.P and Blood Crown. There are some differences between the two. And since Blood Crown is listed as an item, it won’t have to be placed in the equipment slot, which will leave that slot open. So does that mean that the two of them can actually coexist? But this is this, and that is that. The fact that the item that was dropped from a raid monster that I struggled so desperately to overcome was something that was so similar to one of the items already in my possession was having a heavy mental toll on my psyche here. And it was stinging quite a bit, I won’t lie.
「And you might have guessed it, it is yet another information dump here……」
I think that the members of the Library would basically drop dead on the spot from the sheer amount of information contained within this one item alone.
「And while we are being at it, why do I get a feeling that this is basically one of those “use it too much and you can’t go back to being a regular human” type of items……?」
「Eh? You really think that it would actually possess such sinister effect? But that being said, it certainly sounds interesting. Like those items that start to attack their users if they suffer too much damage.」
「But it seems that as the time goes on, its vitality and durability are going to decrease…… Until it settles at the number of one. So even though you are going to turn into a monster, it’s not as though you are going to have any kind of armor onto you. Isn’t that way too dangerous? I can’t help it but to perceive it as such……」
「Hoo? Does that mean it is a declaration of war? You really think that you cannot do anything with only one HP?」
After I said that, the only thing that answered me was a complete silence.
Ahh…… Now I see it. It is a drop item from a raid monster, but even though its performance might actually be pretty sick, there are also pretty crushing demerits that accompany it, which are only going to get worse the more your level goes up. And such a thing is a drop item from a raid boss monster.
Yeah, so, like…… Either way, thank you for your hard work in here, you guys!
However, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here. A journey is not completely over until everyone manage to safely return home. We managed to get rid of a serious threat here, but now we should focus on the other tasks that are at hand here. I must not forget the reason I am here in the first place…… that is, the King and the Princess. By the way, where the hell are they?
「So, does anyone have any sort of idea where the People of the Forest might have evacuated to? I mean, the King and the Princess are with them, so……」
「Eh?」
「Eh?」
Huh? What the hell was that reaction just now? You don’t know? Please don’t tell me that you don’t actually know! I mean, why would you not know that? You are the Hero of the People of the Forest, for crying out loud! So why….. Wait just a minute here.
「It’s only a thought here but…… what if those who run away from here were in distress and did not coordinated where they were going?」
Once again, the only thing that answered my question here was deafening silence. No, no, no, no! Please, no! Don’t tell me…… NOOO!!!
「They might actually already be sitting inside of the beast’s stomach……」
「No, wait, wait just a moment here, Sanraku-kun! You are jumping to conclusions way too fast! It’s like tentacles that skipped all the groping and went straight for the sexy times instead!
I know that it is only a speculation here. But it is a speculation that is actually a very realistic option. So we need to actually consider that it is exactly what happened here.
「So should we do? What if the Elves happen to wonder into some Orc encampment? I heard that there are things like that in here.」
「Whoa there! That would mean that they are more or less dead!」
「…… No, we can rest assured. Orcs are long extinct, at least in this neck of the woods.」
There are no words in any of the human languages that would possibly describe the kind of face that Deepslaughter was making after Tottori said that just now.
「N-No way…… So what am I going to do with my perfect “Record a video of a bunch of Orcs having their way with a group of beautiful players”……?」
I see that the malicious plans of committing Monster PK are still your thing, huh? But still, this is a New World, you know? The players are all high level here, so there is a high probability that your plan would just go to hell you, know?
「B-But…… At the very least, we might try to get what was left out of them and retrieve it……」
「Sanraku-san, acting on the premise that they are already dead won’t do us any good. Who knows, maybe they are actually safe and sound?」
「Or maybe they have become vengeful spirits alright……?」
「Why are you so stubborn that they are all dead!?」
Because their combat abilities are pretty much non-existent here, that’s why…… I mean, we can hope that they are still alive, but I would not count on that.
