ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 397 Part 2
ShangriLa Frontier 397: Forbidden (Uncontrollable) Power Part 2
「So much of being useful…… Whoa there, easy! Don’t point that mysterious tool at me! Are you going to poke a hole through me? You are going to poke a hole through me, aren’t you!?」
Screaming that, we make a run from Break’s workshop, evading the mysterious tool that looked like a combination of drill and iron tongs. Next place on our list! I mean, this one is going to be the last!
「Oh my, welcome, welcome!」
「Here I am…… Elk.」
I could see the eyes of the owner of the shop shining brightly, because she understood full well what my return here have meant. But there is no need for us to rush things here. Time is money, but money can be earned with time. However, even with the biggest amount of money, you cannot hope to buy time.
「I have bore witness to the fastest world that there is, so this means that…… We can proceed with the Secret Row, right?」
「Ufufufufufu…… And what about the payment?」
「Right here. We shall be connecting seven of my skills.」
THUD! I materialized a money bag that was big enough to almost completely fill the space of the entire counter. And even if you were starting to wonder where all that money came from, there is an even more important question that you should be asking yourself here: where the hell did I found the bag large enough to contain all the gold that was in it?
「Fuwaaah…… Seven Hundred Million Mani…… Ufufu, money, money……! I love money……!」
And now her eyes turned into yen symbols……? I see that Elk really loves money here. Look, she’s even hugging the money bag and climbing right on top of it.
Then she just loose the opening of the bag and sticks her head inside of its golden contents, not taking her head out for a couple good seconds. And once she emerged from the inside of the bag, there was this purely ecstatic expression plastered onto her face.
Elk then claps her tiny hands and a couple of bunnies appear seemingly out of nowhere, raising the bag and carrying it out of the room like some sort of a portable shrine. There goes my seven hundred million mani, I guess…… But she also nodded at me, so I followed her, knowing full well that this money would be money well spent here.
「Thank you so much for your patronage….. . Sanraku-san, for me you almost seem like a tree that bears money…… But enough about that. Come, right this way……」
Special actions such as skill pruning are generally performed on top of the magic circles the nature of which is not all that well understood this day and age. However, what we are going to do now is going to be even more different than that.
Elk clapped her hands again, and seven bunnies appeared, carrying cups which were shallowly filled with some strange liquid. Each cup was placed on top of the small pedestal that was located inside of the magic circle.
Needless to say, I was standing right in the center of the magic circle, surrounded with the seven cups and their liquid contents.
「Right. Now, the procedure is relatively painless, so please do try to remain motionless throughout, okay?」
「Bring it on!」
Even if it means getting decapitated, I am going to firmly stay my ground and not move an inch! The way it does not move is as if the screen has frozen up all of a sudden. This almost seem like the shitty version of Fuurinkazan!
Incidentally, here’s a bullet point breakdown.
* Even for a shitty tier MMO its service has ended rather quickly.
* The “Known Issues” in the NEWS tab of the game was so long and ridden with possible bugs that at some point the developers entirely gave up on trying to add more to it or even fix it.
* Some of the bugs and glitches were making the game virtually unplayable.
* Also, the framerate and the overall gameplay were so slow and shitty that it felt more like an online app for watching a slideshow. A rather poorly made slideshow.
What a terrifying this it is, Shitty Fuurinkazan! Just a memory of it is more than enough to make me feel sick and uncomfortable beyond belief!
「–––– Well then, Pioneer. Remember the technique of connecting and spinning.」
Whoa there, wait just a moment! Such serious question can only be answered by making my brain start working on highest output possible!
「…… Limit Over Accelerator, Exceed Gravity, Kurama’s Secret Technique, Space Charge, Hermes’s Boots, Bloodburn Burst, Limit Maximize.」
「–––– Decision to break the yoke.」
All of a sudden, there is the red water starting to spring up inside of the cup.
「–––– Unleashing from the shackles that are the laws of this world.」
Second portion seems to be more or less the same as the first one.
「–––– Secret and traditional techniques.」
Once more, the water that seems to be pretty much red.
「–––– A distant sky, the land of laws far outside of reach.」
Taking a closer look, this seem almost just like my own blood.
「–––– Light rhythm that shall lead the way towards the gods.」
However, I was not bleeding. And I have not received any kind of damage here.
「–––– The urge for blood, so strong that it almost burn.」
However, it almost feels as if the definition of being called “myself” has been expanding here.
「–––– A stepping stone leading towards one’s limits.」
The seven cups are now overflowing with red liquid and they still continue to flow, dripping down onto the floor and dyeing the magic circle in red, continuing to crawl their way towards me who was standing right in the center of it.
「–––– At the end of the bottomless abyss, and far away in the boundless sky.」
「Speaking of innocent mercy. Dedicated is the price, its value is brilliant.」
The thick red overflown mixture arrives at my feet and clings to it as if it was a living, sentient organism. Honestly speaking, it looked as though a slime monster was devouring me whole here, but if I convince myself that this is not the case, my alarmed body quickly calms down. Now I only hope that I won’t be forcefully logged out of the game due to mental distress. That would really suck and it would have been a true shitty game-like maneuver.
「–––– Connect. Spin. Overlap without mixing. Accept the stipulation of separation. Continue to tie together.」
It doesn’t matter to me all that much, but isn’t that basically what succumbing to darkness feels like? You know, going full evil for the same of obtaining unimaginable amounts of power?
「–––– Seven shining lights, overlapping, creating one bright brilliance. Prunning Row: High Connection.」
And then finally, the black liquids completely soak into my body…… And I could feel the power overflowing from within me…… Fufufufufu, FUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
I have given this one a go.
「Good morning, Emul.」
「That was the fastest death rate I have seen so far in your case, Sanraku-san.」
Ever felt like a Grim Reaper who broke his scythe just before it was able to harvest someone’s soul? I know for one that this would be one heck of a confusing feeling.
