ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 390: Bakumatsu Suplex Part 2

There was no real reason to shout that out, but it was all the added flavor here. In that moment, the Jitte, a weapon shaped like the Arabic letter “four” bites firmly into the Washing Pole’s blade. Then, just by twisting it, I was able to stop the Raid Boss’s attack, albeit for just a short while. However, it was more than enough here. That one moment of stopped movement was all that we needed.

And without even missing a single moment from that chance, Tosen closed the remaining distance while brandishing his own sword.

「Better brace yourself! I’m going to slice you up really nice and good!」

「Now come and get some!」

Kuh, I knew it, doing something with only one arm when your strength is effectively halved is no easy task. However, it was enough for Tosen to reach the Raid Boss and grab him by the collar. In turn, this would make it possible for the number two player in the top ten ranking to deliver a fully charged blow.

「It’s time for the decisive blow, Hero!」

「Here is your order! Now, please accept it wholeheartedly……!!」

「「DIVINE PUNISHMENT!!」」

Thinking about it now, putting so much pressure onto the Raid Boss might now have been that good of an idea. It might have awakened some newfound, hidden power inside of him. And while we were thinking that we actually had cornered him, it only turned out that we have stepped onto the tiger’s tail with full power.

「Fun. This is, so much fun. And that is why…… I cannot lose!」

「Hohyouh!?」

「Haah!?」

All of a sudden, Tousen just collapsed onto the ground. Was he cut? No, the sword did not moved even an inch there. So why? What was the reason here? No, no, it’s not about the sword at all here. This posture with your legs spread so wide like that…… could it have been a high kick? It would certainly fit here and his legs were just the right length to manhandle Tousen here…… No way.

「Did he just kicked Tousen to the chin and stunned him because of that?」

「Fun, fun, fun…… This is so much fun. But that is exactly why I cannot allow myself to lose here!」

No, don’t be foolish, me! This game obviously does not have stunning attacks in its repertoire of battle moves. However…… who said that stunning can be limited purely to kicking and striking? I mean, that clearly something that’s bound to happen when you get kicked by a horse…… No way, I don’t want ot believe it, but…… Could it be that he achieved a result like that purely by virtue of head-butting his opponent really hard.

「R-Raid Boss……!!!」

In that instant, Raid Boss managed to slip his way behind Tousen, smiling like a maniac. I guess that in a sense he was really having fun now, even though he would be the only one here who would feel that way. Without a moment’s delay he wrapped his arms around Tousen’s waist and clung to his back.

He acted way faster than anyone would ever be able to react or resist. And the way in which he lifted Tousen was so natural and smooth that it felt as though Tousen was sent flying. But lifting him up was not the only thing that happened here. Almost right away after that, Tousen was dropped back onto the ground with a mighty force. No, stop it…… Ah……

「Divine Punishment.」

「Bah……」

「Drop……」

BOKLANG!!! I was wondering what a good analogy would be for a sound and the sight that I just witnessed, but the only thing I was able to think of was the watermelon being crushed against the ground and shattering into thousands of juicy pieces.

「「PUGYURUH!?」」

Anyways, since Tousen was grabbed by the waist, would it not make that attack a form of a German Supplex? No, but the way in which the Raid Boss twisted the body of his opponent to make sure that his head would collide with the ground with as much power as humanly possible, killing him on the spot…… So more than anything else, would that be called Bakumatsu Period Supplex?

Whatever the name of that technique was, it was true that right now I was the one who was being lifted off the ground. It all happened so fast that I had no time to even see what was going on, or somehow deal with that grapple.

It also seems that the force of impact is so strong that there is no way to actually be able to defend yourself against it. As expected of hitting your head against the pavement like that. However, I somehow feel that the word “paralyzed” would be more suiting here rather than “ stunned”.

「Y-You bastard……」

「Time for a deathbed poem.」

「The next win…… Wash your neck…… And patiently wait……」

「The real fight…… it will take place right after the event ends, Yura-kun……」

Wait, what are you……? Piercing? Are you going to pierce me? Where? My head? Wait a minute, let me actually think about this and choose……

「Ebuh!」

And just like that, with my head being skewered, my fun time during this event has come to end end.

「Oh! Well, if it isn’t the Senpai who happened to die shortly before me! Hey there! How’s it going?」

「Say, would it really kill you if you were not trying to get on someone’s nerves for more than five minutes? I have been wondering about that recently.」

Shut up there, will you? For a moment I am extremely sullen because of the potential weapons I might have lost to the Raid Boss. Some of them were good weapons, but fortunately not all of them were lost. After all, I’m not stupid enough to go into an event like that with all of my best weapons placed in my inventory. Better safe than sorry, right?

「This place is nice and all, but…… Would I be able to win of I have brought more people with me? Like maybe two more?」

「I wonder…… You never know about things like that unless you try them out, right? But wouldn’t that fail as well? I mean, it’s the Raid Boss we are talking about. The usual tactics are bound to fail against him, that’s for sure. So even strength in numbers would not have been enough.」

「Something like that thing the bees do, perhaps?」

「Even if you were to attack him side by side, it would be nothing more for him like cutting things on a conveyor belt. Just like a machine would do here.」

Although I have joined the ranks of the Ghosts now, but I could see that the Raid Boss was still gazing at me, even when I started to act up alongside my newly found ghostly companions.

Yeah, and since we talk about the ghosts, just how many of them are here……? I think the number must be close to a hundred? And while I was busy with dealing with other ghosts, I could see the Raid Boss nodding his head and then running off somewhere with the Washing Pole in his hand.

「What’s wrong?」

「Maybe it’s just the excitement hitting in upon realizing that he is going to wipe out the surviving players……」

Ahh.

The ghosts cannot touch those who are still alive. The ghosts cannot communicate with those who are alive. That is why right now the ghosts could only watch how the survivors were being overpowered by the Raid Boss, who right now was just like a rampaging demon across the battlefield……

「Are there perhaps any buns left? I’m starving.」

「This water tastes really weird. It would be nice to have some wine to those buns but eh…… What can you do, right?」

「Oh wow, look at that! It managed to pierce through the wall.」

To be perfectly honest, it was quite nice in here. It was a nice change of pace.
