ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 521: An Orchestra Just For You PART 3 Part 2
「Yeah, so the basic concept of the flow of this battle is the same as it was that time as well……」
Now then, what was the exact thing I was doing during our very first encounter with one another?
「–––––– MOON WEARIN BLADE, THE FISTS THAT HOLDS IT, READY TO CRUSH THE MOON IN BETWEEN THEIR FINGERS.」
「Now I remember! Thanks a lot!」
Oh yeah, now I managed to remember! The Lake Daggers! If my memory serves me correctly, at that time they were in the middle of the process of getting strengthened! Because I thought it might be a good idea to keep a few types of weapons at the ready, so I wanted to have stronger dual swords or daggers if I could help it.
If so, then I should waste no time and get a move on! Especially since the Golden Crystal Scorpion was already starting to move around, trying to shake me off of its back. It’s legs moving, its tail shaking, it’s back twisting in every possible direction, just to push me to the ground. But I could certainly use that to my advantage. Waiting for the right moment, I gathered all of the strength in my legs and jumped in the air, landing onto one of the crystals that were currently growing out of the ground. Like that I could put in some much needed distance between ourselves.
「Human Pile……!!!」
In addition to the reciprocation of the story that the ending of I can already vaguely remember inside of my mind, it would be best to think about picking the right tool for the job. Fortunately enough, I already have something that is bound to be quite helpful in that regard. Well, it’s my good and trusty Scorpion Gauntlets and their special ability! Don’t be shy and come right here! We have a job that needs to be done right away!
「Bunker!!!」
I curl up my hand into a fist and strike the body of the Golden Crystal Scorpion, the blade hidden within it just waiting for the right occasion. And once the opportunity presents itself, I unleash it and it penetrates deeply into the delicate body hidden underneath the crystal armor.
Naturally, even though the enemy is merely a reproduction, it still starts to rampage in response to being wounded like that. But for the time being let’s just wait for the further lyrics and the instructions they are about to bring with themselves.
「–––––– AWAKEN, OH THE BRIGHT LIGHT. AND SO, WITH YOU COMES THE WOLF THAT SHALL DEVOUR ITS ENEMIES WHOLE……」
「Eh? Huh? Umm…… Ahh, I remember! But seriously!?」
GOGOGOGOGOGO…… and then the ground begins to shake once more. Remind me what happened to me at that time? Yes, I’m pretty sure that at that time I was actually……. Wait! You really expect me to break out the Inventoria right here?
The shaking is getting worse! It’s so intense that the crystals around here might actually shatter and explode. Then, new scorpions are being reproduced here. Three, five, ten…… Are they even going to fit into this place?
「Distance! Need to put some distance!」
After this, it is literally the case of the crystal tsunami and the poor scorpions going to crush me with their sheer mass alone, only to fall off the cliff and die, dropping me all of those precious materials. At that time, it’s an out-of-the-air escape, but can you even do something like that here? Or use the Inventoria? Especially with those restrictions it has right now?
「Right!」
Not good!
「Left!」
It’s only increasing now!
「Previously…… Maybe from behind? Behind!」
It’s the wall! No, those are the spectator’s seats! …… Which is no good as well! It might have been a barrier preventing me from leaving the boss battle area as well! So now what do I do?
「Look above!!!!!!」
Critical Speed –Bradion– is no good here, I would just crush into the ceiling and die on the spot. Then how am I supposed to go towards the top if I can’t use my usual mobility skills? In times like these, you just have to rely on your Magic Power!
「Oh yeah, now I am really glad that I have decided to carry that Magic Scroll on me just in case it would be needed like that!」
I use the scroll of “Instant Teleportation”, set the coordinates to a certain point in the sky and then rush through the battlefield with the power of the item I just used!
「I honestly feel like I used it for the first time in a really long time……」
It is something I have been exclusively sparing in case I would need a tool for a quick escape or something similar to that. And just like with the HP or MP recovery potions, I have managed to train my body in such a way that I could use it almost unconsciously if need be. I then go to the Inventoria for a moment, take something out of there, catch my breath and go right back out.
「Alright, now I remember even more!」
No, it’s not that I have forgotten about it and needed to remember. It’s more of a matter that my memories of handling the hordes of crystal scorpions were rather “blurry” at this point in time and they needed some “clearing up” before I could finally proceed forward. After this, it will be a climax, so let’s hear it, my dear Orchestra!
「–––––– THE DAWN IS BREAKING, THE MOONLIGHT IS ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR. EVENTUALLY, THE MOONLIGHT IS ERASED. THE LIGHT OF THE DAWN CHASES AWAY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON. WITH THE MOONLIGHT ABOU TO DISAPPEAR, THE HERO IS……」
「“Moon Breaker”」
The light of the blade that shines the light of the dead sunshine 「Tachikiwa」. A two-piece sword was put and cut at the same trajectory with a sword to be returned, and it was the same as that day…… It is only one more look-alike, but it should be more than enough to make it count, right?
「Alright, who’s next? What’s it going to be!? I’ll take it all on, so come right at me!」
While I am busy shouting those words, the Recreated Golden Crystal Scorpion finally disappears into nothingness. At the same time the field of crystals also shatters into small light particles and dissipates without a trace…… No! No, that’s not it! It’s something else! The crystals are actually turning their color to red!!!
「You’ve got to be fucking shitting me……」
The crystals should have been shattered into tiny pieces and disappeared. But instead of disappearing, they were actually melting! Their semi-transparent glow is now being tainted with a deep and thick shade of red or crimson…… And then the melted crystals started to spread. They spread to about half the arena, creating a grotesque pool of red goo that was similar in substance to blood. And then a certain “red” entity emerged from the inside of the blood pool.
「“THE HEROIC EPIC OF SANRAKU”. CHAPTER THREE: …… RED, RED!!!”」
The Great Red Devourer…… So it really is you, you absolute bastard……!!!!!!
