ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 584: Battleship Breaking Entertainers Part 2
The arm swung down by a Power-Type enemy creates a gap that can be easily used as a scaffolding…… You would really need to be a genius of both remarkable skill and talent to create an enemy like that an incorporate it into a game without making it too broken. Some people might think that enemies like that are meant to be overpowered, but that’s not what this is all about. They must always be “just right”. They need to pose a threat, but this threat must be manageable to overcome. That’s the golden rule here.
「You’re the first one!」
「Yo, Gazelle! Let me go bowling as well! Don’t hog all of the funny activities to yourself!」
「Alright! Just say the word and we’ll switch places!」
When it comes to the top tier of portable weaponry, nothing in this game can beat the ones that the Terraton-Class battleships can provide.
It is rumored that the galaxy’s strongest sword-only weapon item is possessed by an old player who does not interact with anyone else. He does not give it to anyone, and does not consider selling it no matter the price presented to him. As for the weapon itself, it is rumored to be able to make a cut in the battleship with a single strike, and even if it is not able to do just that, it can inflict some serious damage to the armor. It is made out of some top class materials used in the production of the deadliest spaceships and it is said to be able to easily deflect bullets…… That being said, those heavy duty combat knives cannot hope to hold the candle to such legendary weapon, but they surely get their job done just fine.
「Come at us, you useless pieces of scrap! We can defeat you all with our eyes closed!」
Striking hammer “Jet striker”, a hammer that accelerates and hits with a common propulsive force…… It’s just as if the jet engine came right at you and hit you at full speed with everything it has. The best-in-class batting weapon that can be produced and purchased blows off the dead enemy muscle droid backwards, towards its comrades.
Normally trying to attack a three meter armored enemy with a hammer would be like trying to strike a battleship with a rubber hammer, but here it was not the case. The jet engine allowed Rhino to blow the enemies away, but the aftershock of that action was so strong that the guy himself was blown away as well. However, I tried to pay that no mind at all and just focus on doing my own thing.
At the same time one enemy jumped towards me from the front, while the other one jumped at me from the back, thinking that it was pretty clever…… But they should not underestimate me! Is that how they want to play? Fine, just bring it on!
「Man, I would really like to do some close—up swings like that. They look so cool and efficient!」
Bullets continue to fly, and while I focus my efforts on avoiding them as well as the drones that fired them, I move forward and get rid of the drones one after another. After all, those enemies turned out to be majorly disappointing, but if we want to talk about the one with the highest kill score among us all, that would be definitely Wolf.
He used multiple Sensor Guns with compound aiming function, operated as a set with goggles connected to the player’s helmet. It could also connect to the main gun batteries of the allied Terraton ship, and possessing so much firepower and utility made it out to be a top tier gun. It was also a thing that would certainly make all of the FPS fans out there laugh maniacally, especially seeing the pinpoint accuracy with which this thing could shoot…… After all, there nothing better than power pistol that can massacre infantry units as well as blow holes in spaceships.
Even a player who is not good at action games can achieve great results with a weapon like that, even if they are packing the minimum stats required to use it. Also, you do not need a high accuracy with this, and even though the magazine size is limited, you can easily kill multiple enemies with single shots, making it monstrously efficient weapon to have on you.
I cut the cable that crawls on the back of another armored enemy, and then I proceed onto the next enemy, as if I was working on the assembly line. The enemies fall down on the ground, sometimes knocking other enemies alongside them, creating chain reactions and making a whole lot of noise while they are being at it.
「Alright, let us advance forward!」
「I will open the door, so just wait a moment and once this is done move out right away.」
「No, this is certainly great, wouldn’t you agree? Who would have thought that killing drones would drop ammo packs just like that?」
「Huh? How should I even react to that? What should I do about this?」
「In the tutorial, it was written that the lock would rotate in the opposite direction and that you would have to hit it at just the right timing.」
Meanwhile, Fox muttered to himself.
「…… Don’t you think that you guys depend on me a little bit too much? Just a thought, but you’d do good to reflect on it.」
About five minutes later.
「「「FOX!!! FOX, HELP US, MAN!!!!!!」」」
「Oh yeah! This is exactly what I was talking about earlier! That’s why I hate puzzle games! I was never all that good with them in the first place!!!」
From the player’s perspective it was a mini-game fashioned after hacking a digital security system. If you can’t clear it within the allocated time limit, you would have to face an alert, an enemy wave or you would be simply locked out of the entire system without a possibility of coming back to it. …… However, the fox-headed player managed to clear all of them at the fastest speed time after time, thanks to his swift movements. It was truly spectacular to watch.
