ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 493 Part 2
ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 493: Another Name for This Would Be Fairy Godly Fist Part 2
Hoo, hoo ––––––––––––––– HMMMMM!? Was that actually a bulls-eye? Do we have him? Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got him!
Kuku, kukukukukuku…… for some inexplicable reason I was really reluctant to use the name “Sanraku” in Galaxia Heroes: Chaos this time around. And so, instead of my good, old and reliable “Sanraku” I have decided to change things up a little bit and pick an entirely new nickname for myself. And so the new name “Licostaire” was born in this place, allowing me to go completely incognito……!!!
As for the arena type, it seems to be a new map centered around the circular plaza near the Central Tower, with very low buildings and not all that many places to hide from your opponent. Apparently it is one of the new features that’s been added with a new update that was released quite recently.
「It seems like they did quite a good job with this arena here, I have to give them that…… But what is this character, I wonder? I have never seen it before~. (needlessly high pitch)」
Could it be that this is some new character that was recently added as well? Are DLCs even a thing in this game? I mean, the game is already out on the market, so it wouldn’t be all that strange with DLCs becoming available after the initial premiere. It would certainly prolong the game’s longevity with new stages and characters being released on a regular basis.
At a first glance this character seems like a mid-range fighter who uses his two handguns that are now resting in holsters at his waist. And judging by the expression on that character’s face when he saw me, I would hazard a guess that a battle in close quarters is not something he would desire to have. Of course, there is always a possibility that it is a bluff of some sort or that there is some sort of trick or a gimmick to it, but at the current moment I am going to operate on that previous assumption of mine. So the first order of things will be to shorten the distance between us.
「Are you perhaps a mid—range fighter with the ability to perform some combos on various distances? So scary! (needlessly high pitch)」
「Hmm, I know that we don’t know one another, but at the same time I do get a feeling as if we know one another? And to answer your questions: that’s right, this character is from the update that came out just recently. And no, sorry to disappoint you, but it’s entirely a long-distance character. His name is “Dust”.
「Wah! Thank you for letting me know all this! That’s so kind of you! (needlessly high pitch)」
Are you underestimating me because of my voice? You are, aren’t you? Interesting! Truly interesting! I’m going to beat the everlasting shit out of you and show you just how wrong you are in assuming that!
「TWINKLE POWDER ☆!! (still needlessly high pitch)」
「Kuh!」
The character that I am using now, Tinkle Pixy, is a character whose special attacks and moves are all very powerful, but they also possess a whole lot of constraints to them. Namely, they are all dependent on the resource called Pixie Dust. Because of that, her HP and stamina tends to be abysmally low, and she needs to get extremely close and personal with her opponent, as close as one meter in between them.
Pixie Dust is also a resource that regenerates extremely slowly and is being used up for guarding as well, which makes the gameplay of this character to be somewhat stressful and dissatisfying. I mean, it is extremely easy to just waste this precious resource without actually meaning to do that.
Also, she may be a purely close quarters fighter, but her attacks and combos are not at all easy to pull off, and a certain amount of studying is needed if you want to handle her well.
「I’m going to show you…… This is my TQC! (high pitch still)」
「Eh? What the hell is…… Uwah!?」
When you see some sort of mysterious powder being sprinkled right in front of you, your first natural reaction would be to take your distance from it, since you are not sure what that thing is even going to do. But it is just a clever ruse by the Tinkle Pixy players, one that allows you to shorten the distance towards your opponent, get behind his back and kick him. That way, the opponent flies right into the Pixie Dust mist.
TQC, otherwise known as: Tinch Quarters Combat.
It is a battle style that capitalizes on the fact that the opponent is going to be confused while staying inside of the Pixie Powder cloud. And while they are confused and have no idea what is going on, I can use that opportunity to strike at them all I want! And now for the bread and butter of my TQC! A super fast barrage of both palm strikes and kicks!
Additionally, I was able to put a safe distance in between myself and my opponent, making them unable to act at all, while they are staying well within the reach of my attacks! It is indeed a perfect strategy with little to no flaws at all!
「I am going to keep on pummeling you until your body turns into a bloody mess and your contours are no more, Twinkle ☆! Now brace yourself, you dumb fuck!」
「Aaa! You asshole! Sanraku, is that……」
「Twinkle ☆☆☆!!! (high pitch)」
「Nuwaaahhh!?」
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Now watch closely! I’m going to beat the shit out of you until you are turned into nothing more but a bloody pulp!

Katso: Oi, Twinkle Impact.
Katso: Oi! Come on, Twinkle Impact! Come on out! I don’t bite! …… That hard!
Sanraku: Twinkle ☆
Katso: I would never take someone like you for a TQC type of a guy
Katso: But I guess that this is not what the most important thing here is at the current moment.
Sanraku: But I must say, modulating your voice like that can be quite funny in its own right from time to time.
Katso: Yeah, sure, but anyways! I wanted to confirm some things with you ahead of time, regarding the course of action on the day of the event.
Sanraku: Roger that.
Sanraku: By the way, should I register as a “No Face-sama” or……
Katso: No, there’s no need to use that name here. Be sure to pick something else.
Sanraku: And what about my face? Think they will let me in and give me a pass if I come in there with my face covered?
Sanraku: Especially since I am going to have it covered all the way from the station.
Katso: That desire of yours to keep your face hidden is starting to get really annoying. You are like a character who wears a helmet all the time and refuses to take it off even to bed.
Sanraku: No matter what you say about that, I’m not going to change my mid.
Katso: How about claiming that you are actually a masked wrestles who came here because of some other, completely unrelated matter? Come on now, surely you could make up a story like that or two on the go, right? But even if you do not, I don’t think that anyone is going to make trouble for you, so I wouldn’t worry about it all that much if I were you.
Sanraku: But oh well, in case nothing can be done about it, I will try to think about some other method instead.
Katso: ………
Sanraku: I mean, you’ve got that right alright, but still……
Sanraku: But more importantly, there is something I’ve been meaning to ask you, so maybe you’ll be able to answer that for me.
Katso: Hm? What is it?
Sanraku: I know that Galaxia Heroes: Chaos is supposed to be the already finished product, but I couldn’t stop thinking about this one thing. It’s been bugging me ever since. You see……
……………
………
…
「Now then……」
It was about time for me to start doing something. It also seems that the update has been completed as well…… Now here’s the question: do I feel like playing a Hero character? Or maybe trying out some sort of Villain for a change?
「It’s time for an all night-long marathon!」
I still have some time left before the X Day, so I’d better work extra hard until that time finally comes!
