ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 503: Joint Locking Techniques Are Something That Comes With Experience Part 1

This alias…… No, the original name lists this technique as the Dark Fairy Mental Fist. It is a technique that is filled with contradictions, one that could have only been possible to develop on the chaotic battlefields of the game such as Galaxia Heroes: Chaos.

Although there are always some exceptions from that rule, basically Galaxia Heroes: Chaos is fundamentally different from every other game out there. Therefore, it is not all that easy and simple to classify Twinkle Pixie as a clear Hero or a clear Villain. If I were to classify her, I would say that she is a character that walks down a path that is somewhere in between those two categories.

Yes, that’s right. And this is exactly where the Dark Fairy Mental Fist originates from…… or as I am calling it now, TQC Evil Style. Strictly speaking my current battle style was a “One Vs One”, which was kind of Heroic in nature. But this one is by default designed to be meant as a “One Vs Many”, a style that concentrates purely on destructive power and does not care at all for the NPC casualties. It could also be said that the very nature of this technique is something that was meant to be used in a battle mode such as Triangle Trinity, or that it would simply not work anywhere else but in this exact mode.

Now, whether it is true or not, I guess that we are about to find out.

「Alright, here we go! You bastard!」

Hearing that insult the majority of the Mechanitian’s forces that arrived on the scene turned their gazes, as well as their muzzles, towards me. They might be enhanced by the Cornel, but they are still small fries. Which means that no small fry should ever be able to pose a serious threat to the player, as long as that player knows what he is going to do. Now it’s just a matter of mowing through them as fast as possible and as effectively as possible.

「What is this shitty homing, huh!? You might as well try to shoot firecrackers out of you asses! The success rate of hitting something would be about the same!」

I keep running while leaning forward, and then I make a jump. Jump over a group of machines shaped like lizards, somersault over their heads, and land on their backs. Taking advantage of how light their bodies were, I run down a huge machine that must have been a car in its previous life.

From there on out it’s only accelerating. Even more muzzles get pointed my way, as I land right in the middle of a group of enemies, for some unknown reason stylized after stag beetles.

「Here you go! Some more Pixie Dust! And then a Palm Strike! Right in your faces!」

It managed to confirm that for as long as Pixie Dust remains on the field, the effect of the stun action can be applied to more than one target. It’s a good thing that I previously decided to try out all those different things with the powder and experimented with its effects.

That is why you can surely keep the small fries within the range of the powder. By screwing your body into the small gap between the machines, forcing them to bump into one another. And if you have a small body of Twinkle Pixie, it’s easy to get out, no matter the situation!

「You are not so bad when it comes to close quarters combat either, but your moves are way too monotonous! You damned Valkyrie!」

Could it be that her AI got updated since our battle against Dust? I get a feeling that I am going to be left behind if I allow the stupid AI to evolve all the time like that.

I twist my body to avoid the assault spear that has been swung down easily, and activate the floating ability of Twinkle Pixie the moment after I take two steps back.

When floating, you cannot reach the usual speed that you would be able to reach with a character like that, but exceptionally if there is momentum from the beginning of the floating action, it can proceed as it is thanks to the inertia.

「TWINKLE ☆ BEATDOWN!」

I slipped on the asphalt as if it was the ice and went around behind the “Valkyrie”, and I slammed the full swing of the whole body with the Twinkle ☆ Wand right into her ass.

Twinkle ☆ Knee Jab and Forbidden Twinkle ☆ Seven Skills would have been all fine here, but the latter is a particularly dangerous technique. Also, if you were to perform that on someone in public it would mean more or less that you would become socially dead, so it is advised to show moderation in utilizing it. Or rather, it was just the thing that you would have to use if you were a young man who was being harassed by a Valkyrie on the open field…… No, I don’t need to dig up such a terrible incident ever again. Let the sleeping dogs lie.

The metal face does not make any explicit facial expressions, but even so, when faced with a powerful technique like that even someone like Valkyrie has no other way to react but to be blown away in a grotesque manner.

I don’t have time to be dealing with small fries all the time now. Even though they may be the target enemy, and some of them are power upping their allies, aside from having lots of numbers and HP there is no active reason or merit in taking them all down…… In other words, the extremely weak without the aid of the “Colonel”. And that also means that the Colonel should be the priority target for me to take down as fast as possible.

「Eat shit, you stupid Nudist!!!」

「Right behind you, You Cross-Dressing Drug Fairy!!!」

「Hey! Stop throwing around baseless accusations! Pixie Dust is a perfectly legal substance, and would not ever pose a threat to someone’s life! At least not directly!」

「Oh yeah? Perfectly fine and healthy? This substance can remodel a human body down to its genetic code! How is that not hazardous to health!?」

「No, wait! It may be so, but I am sure that there is a perfectly logical explanation for that, we are just not able to see it quite yet……!」

A strong blow struck my flank out of the blue. In the end, I managed to twist my Twinkle Wand to block the majority of the blow’s force just in the last possible moment, but because my Pixie body was so petite it was blown far away from my opponents, after I worked so hard to close that distance in the first place! And maybe it was because the force of the blow was so strong, but once I managed to pull myself together I could not see or feel my Twinkle Wand anywhere nearby.
