ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 453: Dragon, Oh Dragon! PART 30 Part 1

* * *

「Kuh…… I have heard that the Unique Monsters like Kutanid of the Abyss are strong, but this is something else entirely! It’s completely different from what we are used to deal with……!」

What was now taking place was a great melee battle between the players and the combo of Siegwurm and Noirlind who were locked in combat with one another, not paying attention to their surroundings all that much. Although the majority of the players here are aiming for Siegwurm, Karoshis UQ cliqued his tongue, seeing as though Siegwurm was not showing any signs of being wounded or actually slowing down.

Siegwrum the Heavenly Emperor is just another enemy inside of the game, so there is no way that it cannot be defeated. But even so, it’s been quite some time since the players focused their efforts on attacking him, but the Golden Dragon King showed no signs of actually being wounded or backing down under their constant barrage of attacks.

「I don’t even understand anymore…… Could it be that our attacks do not work on Siegwurm at all? Or maybe it’s just that he is extremely tough? But still…… Noirlind’s attacks seem to be working here just fine.」

「IT SHOULD ONLY COME AS NATURAL HERE. AFTER ALL, THIS BODY WAS MADE TO WITHSTAND THE MIGHT OF THE ORIGIN…… HALF-HEARTED EFFORTS AND DULL FANGS AND CLAWS WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO REACH ME! ONLY THE TRUE BRILLIANCE CAN HOPE TO PUT A SCAR ON MY BODY!!!」

「Whoa there, I did not actually expect the answer here.」

However, those words just now made Karoshis UQ think. And they made him think hard.

In fact, it appears as though Noirlind plays a very important role in bringing Siegwurm down. His physical statistics might be extremely similar to those of Siegwurm, but since Siegwurm possesses the skill “Shining Dragon King – Tupac Amal –, Noirlind’s strongest weapon, his Dragon Breath, is virtually useless here. And taking that skill out of the equation significantly limits the amount of actions that the players can hope to do against an opponent like that. Needless to say, this puts the players at a severe disadvantage.

However, at the same time it is not correct to state that Noirlind is their complete ally. And there is also the lord of the Skull Azuchi Castle that needs to be taken into account here, plus her loyal subordinates…… And because some players decided to side with Noirlind, it is only safe to assume that the production workers and their allies would consider them to be a threat and enemies. That’s how deep is the grudge of having the previous frontline base destroyed to the ground. It is also only natural to assume that the production workers would target them during the fights as well.

「NUOOOH!? WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS, AKITSU AKANE!? THERE ARE SOME INSECTS THERE THAT ARE POKING AT MY BODY!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?」

「I’m afraid that this is what we call “karma”, Noirlind-san! You have done some horrible things to those people in the past, and now they want to exact their revenge on you because of that!」

「HMPH, HOLDING ONTO A PETTY GRUDGE LIKE THAT…… BUT STILL, IT’S NOT THAT I CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHERE THE URGE FOR REVENGE LIKE THAT IS COMING FROM!」

「Just focus on your fight against Siegwurm! Don’t think about anything else! Like that, we can all do our best here!」

It seems that there is another raid boss monster battle going on at this exact time, but at least this time around it is all for the sake of the Unique Scenario EX, so it’s actually a huge help that that woman from “Wolfgang” guild was keeping the other color dragons occupied for the moment. Thanks to that, it was possible to lock Noirlind’s aggro solely onto Siegwurm and do not allow it to go anywhere else.

「Those players who have arrived later onto the battlefield should listen to orders and switch with those players who are running out of resources! As for Siegwurm, he can use both skill invalidation and magic invalidation respectably! And please do take note that the skill invalidation affects both passive and active skills! So watch out for that!」

Karoshis UQ lets out a sigh and then takes a moment to regain his composure. He has been repeating the same commands over and over now, for it was necessary for the new players to arrive to understand what it is that they are exactly dealing with in here.

「I knew it, it’s really hard for a single commander to be able to organize the flow of the battle on such a huge scale……」

「Hmm, I see, I see. Well then, sorry for the delay, but how about I help you out a little bit with that? That’s what former members…… Oh my, I mean, allies from the same alliance of guilds are for, isn’t that right?」

「Nuh!」

At that exact moment, a voice rings out in the air, as cold and emotionless as the deepest depths of the Abyss, and then four swords start to dance through the air with their wielder being nowhere to be seen.

「WHO IN THE HELL ARE YOU!?」

「Leader of the Guild “Black Sword”. My name is Saiga-100. I have come here to defeat you!」

「GOOD! GOOD! SPLENDID! THEN COME RIGHT AT ME, OH BRAVE HERO WHO FEARS NOT DEATH!」

「“Sword Art: Quintent!」

Four swords dance around in the air as if they were flying on their own. Looking closely, one of those swords was actually the legendary Holy Sword Excalibur. Then the swords started to slash away at Siegwurm’s body, as if some invisible conductor was guiding their movements with extreme grace and precision.

It’s a phenomenon that you would never be able to witness in real life (although such technology may have already been realized somewhere around the world at this point n time). At the same time the players let out a loud cheer and a round of applause…… Even Siegwrum had to stop for a moment in order to fully realize the amount of both skill and resources that must have been poured into that sword-fighting ability that was assaulting him right about now.

「WHAT IS THIS? A SWORD ASSAULT THAT REMINDS ME OF A VIOLENT STORM? WHAT ANGER……! OH, OOOHHH!!! WONDERFUL! WHAT A SPLENDID DISPLAY OF BOTH ABILITY AND POWER……!!!」

「Thanks for the words of praise, I guess……! Everyone else! Push forward! But don’t line up! Surround him at irregular intervals and hit him with everything you have from all directions! Don’t give him a moment to catch his breath and retaliate!」

In response to that order, the gathered players let out an even bigger roar of a cheer. Their voices echoed high in the sky, carrying away with the night wind. Now that a member of the “Black Sword” has joined them, the players found new amounts of courage and determination inside of them. With Saiga-100 on board, everyone started to think that they would be able to win this no problem.
