ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 388 Part 2

ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 388: Magnetic Bond Part 2

The most common way of delivering Divine Punishment onto your enemy is by beheading them. That is why I only need to know the possible trajectory of the blade that the Raid Boss was going to swing at me and in response adjust my position or move my head. It may not seem like much, but it is more than enough to reduce the possibility of receiving a mortal injury.

And with a loud shattering sound, the rusted iron blade scatters into hundreds of pieces. I used that opportunity to thrust my own sword right in between his eyes, but he easily avoided my attack by bending and sliding away. Of course, he did that so fast that for a moment out there I thought that he might have disappeared and I have lost him. It took me a moment to realize that he was still crouching down, and before I even knew it, his other blade was already aiming towards my chin.

「……!?」

「Hmph!」

A rude kick with little to no skill behind it. An attack like that manages to catch the Raid Boss of guard and send him crushing towards the wall.

This guy may look like a delicate child on the outside, but in reality he is nothing short of a monster. An attack like that would never inflict much damage to him, and he managed to quickly get up after rolling forward a single time.

「Come on, are we doing it or what?」

「Don’t act all high and mighty if your Divine Punishment turned out to be unsuccessful……!」

Despair and resignation do not always come as a set. Never give up. For as long as you won’t give up, the opportunity to kill the Raid Boss is sure to present itself to you.

「Hey, this does not look like much fun, but I guess that unless I join in on it nothing is ever going to move forward, huh?」

「T-The Second Place of the Top Ten Ranking……」

「Well, if it isn’t Thousand Tousen……」

There are those who only hide and run away knowing that there is someone superior to them. And there are also those who run full stream ahead without fear, knowing that there is no need for them to be afraid if there is only one person superior to them.

A Valuable Meat Shield…… there was a person like that right now, wearing the Haori of Shinsengumi on his back, rushing inside of the tea shop as if cutting through the curtain of the stage. It was that exact player who allowed me to think that we might have a chance at winning this.

Who would have thought that the Hero who would actually come to my rescue here would be none other than Mister Second Place himself? Goodness gracious, that is why Bakumatsu Online is such a great place to be right now!

「Want me to lend you a hand?」

「Huh, don’t be stupid! Do I look like someone who has a pot with a simmering leek soup strapped onto my back? That being said, if you want to stay around, I am not going to stop you, so be my guest.」

「Are you kidding me? With a rare enemy such as this right in front of me, there is no way I am staying away from this! Just you wait, I’m going to make a quick work out of him while you can cower in fear somewhere else.」

It would be great if this guy would just go on and openly declare hostility towards the Raid Boss. That would be a huge help. Not to mention that having him around would actually allow me to have some breathing room and time to think about my next move. However, I must remain vigilant at all times, since in this world a moment of hesitation might be equal to a crushing defeat. So I must focus and make sure that I keep the pressure on at all times.

「Nice, this looks like fun.」

「…………」

「…………」

The strongest swordfighter in the game. The runner-up hero with a sword casually resting atop his arm. And the Hannya mask wearing me, holding two swords in my arms.

「Are you not going to come towards me?」

「「DIVINE PUNISHMENT!!!」」

Hmm, should I really call this guy my Hero for the time being? The play style of the raid boss is relatively one of a kind here, which is not really all that helpful, so I guess that the number two guy would be the one who has the most reasonably normal Bakumatsu Experience under his belt. …… After all, he is the number two in the entire game, and number one when it comes to Shinsengumi forces.

Can a barbaric Hero like that solo a Raid Boss? I know that he has a reason to go all out here, since he can theoretically claim the first place in the ranking here for himself, but is that kind of motivation going to be enough here? But this might work quite nicely for me. I mean……

If I help this guy claim the first place, then this means that I can easily dispose of him later on and claim the first place for myself! Yes, that’s it! Now this is the Bakumatsu Online style of doing things that I know and love!

「It’s cooking time! And you are going to be the leek in my soup!」

「Shut your mouth, you bottom tier character! I will purge your ass!!!」

However, Number Two here is not like Number One. The extreme opposites of the two leave almost no space for me to take any offensive action myself, and even if there was a gap for me to explore, there is a high probability that it was only a clever trap designed to lull me into a false sense of security and provoke me to switch to the offensive.

I somehow manage to avoid one attack by taking a step back and then a step to the side, and then I also throw the right sword on the path of the sword that was meant to slash my throat open. Thanks to that, I managed to avoid the second attack as well.

Tsk, could it be that his attacks were feeling so monotonous because of the conversation we had previously? I should have rattle my brain faster there, then maybe it would have been even easier now.

And even though I was sure to keep the Raid Boss right in front of me at all times, his pace was steadily increasing, to the point where it was hard for me to actually keep up with him.

「Lonely. So lonely.」

「Uwooh!?」

The target was the Hero here, and even though he managed to avoid the piercing shot that was fired right between his eyes, he was unable to fully get away from the sword slash that followed right after the shot, and the blade managed to trace a thin line alongside his cheek. The red damage effect started to drip down his face.

The Hero stepped back while holding his face with his hand, but seeing the second revolver that appeared in the Raid Boss’s left hand the frown on his face became even greater.

「Just kidding.」

「So fast……!?」

One shot, and then two shots. Talk about Hero, increasing the speed of his bullets by using the speed and rotation of his own body…… Oh wow, and just like that I am once more within his range, it would seem.

「「Uuuuuuooooooaaaaaahhhhhh!?」」

How is this even possible!? It should be illegal to be able to fire such precise shots while moving so fast!!!

「Ban, ban.」

「……!!!」

「……!!!!!!」

Actually, I take it all back. We, the soul brothers, are going to defeat the Raid Boss for sure! Even though that right now he has evolved into his second, pistols dual-wielding stage!
