ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 607: Chasing Cooking Impact! Part 2

This meat paradise surely tops the deserted island when it comes to the accessability of food products, where sometimes a certain types of animals or fish would only spawn once per month and that would be pretty much it. Because of that, starvation tended to be the most common cause of death in that world rather than being killed by wild animals or other players. It was also the cause that other players would quickly leave the game in search of a place that was way more hospitable than this God-forsaken hellhole. Also, can you imagine doing battle with others when you are “starving”? Not the best experience ever in the world, let me tell you. So yeah, from the moment you were “born” there to the moment you “die”, it was just one catastrophe after another……

「Alright then, now that we managed to fill our stomachs up, it’s time to go and kill ourselves some boss!」

「Yeah, it would be well about time for us to do it, huh?」

「YEAH, YOU HAVE GOT THAT RIGHT…… YOU HAVE GOT THAT RIGHT, INDEED. IT’S ABOUT TIME…… YOU’LL SEE IT SOON ENOUGH.」

Hmm……?

~ An Excess From a Certain AI-Like NPC LOG ~

「I AM MOST TERRIBLY SORRY, BUT THE COORDINATE NOTIFICATION OF THAT SPECIFIC PERSON REQUIRE YOU TO POSSESS THE AMBER JACK PASS LEVEL THREE.」

「Oh, I…… I see……」

PIYO,PIYO, PIYO, PIYO, PIYO, PIYO, PIYO, PIYO……

「AND THAT PROTOCTIST OVER THERE IS……?」

「…… The one that is currently guiding me.」

* * *

「Sanraku-san!? Would you like some assistant sword in your quest!? If so, I’m here to help!!」

「Uwoh, Akitsu Akane? Don’t be stupid, there is no way in hell that we are going to lose to some oversized lump of meat like that……!!」

Beef Custom Big Body…… In short, during a battle with oversized lump of meat that has been created by scientific endeavors it evolved and grew unnecessarily big, a simple idiotic concept that if you increase its size it will be able to eat more and grow even stronger…… It was that kind of a monster that Akitsu Akane was currently riding on top of.

Then there are the three players who are following right after Akitsu Akane, and whose faces I do not even recognize. I wonder if they have formed a temporary party for the sake of going forward through here? I feel like the three of them are glaring at me really intensely, but…… then Survival get knocked off balance and starts to roll away. It doesn’t take long for him to come back, and besides, I don’t sense any ill intentions from Akitsu Akane here. But, it’s kind of awkward for them to just come here and offer their assistance just like that.

I thought of using the Memento Mori here, but before I was able to do anything I fell to the ground thanks to the movement of this huge chunk of beef, not even managing to land a single hit on it. After all, piercing attacks are not all that effective if you cannot actually put some strength behind them. I guess that from now on Smashing attacks will have to do.

「Oh well, just have a look at this……!!」

For something so huge its body turned out to be extremely thin, and it was capable of blowing away its opponents just by moving its giant beef-ass around. But if that was not enough, it was capable of sweeping attacks and smashing its fists into the ground as well. What’s more, it was capable of using ranged attacks of power that varied in scale from medium to high damage. On the contrary, I am but a small light-weight character who just happens to possess high –power skills at his disposal…… If so, what you should do here is to not let this guy do extra things until the main firepower is demonstrated!!

Alright, “War Orphan”! It’s time for you to show us what you can really do! And now witness this, the power and glory of the unprecedented, never-before-seen Extraordinary Skill……!!

「Battle Crushing Amber “War Orphan”!!」

If it’s going to be a smashing strike, it will increase the damage, and if it’s a smashing jab, then it will be a knockback effect!!

However, it seems that reading the text and understanding the contents of the text is something completely different from actually using it on the actual battlefield.

Because when I aimed for a light jab in here, the only thing that actually resulted from it was something completely opposite! Could it be that the actual hit and the sounds made by those strikes can get mixed up and confuse the user!? It also let out a damaging roar that made you want to ask the management a question what were they thinking when they implemented that, plus that it was capable to moving about the arena at an extremely fast pace, considering that it was the size of a small truck.

「Ooohhh……」

There should be no damage here, the skill of “Battle Crushing Amber” is the one that balances firepower and knockback effect, after all. So they should not be all that compatible. Even if it is blown off so far, the firepower itself is not all that great…… Or at least I think, so. But when I see the huge mass of beef that is about to turn over from its back towards the blue ceiling from the state of walking on four legs, I get a feeling that some serious firepower is about to be demonstrated here. It’s like anxiety and expectations that are slowly starting to creep their way inside of your skull……

「If you are going to show me some great display of power, don’t complain afterwards…… Because I’m not going to lose here!」

Looking around where Survivor was, he sounded really excited and equally exhilarated at the same time. And the place where he was? The huge hole in the ground, the place where the back of the lump of beef hit the ground just a moment ago. So basically, he was almost crushed to death by it. And what’s that? He’s still in the standing position? Weird……

Instead of saying “I’m okay!” or “Dangerous!”, he decided to let out a battle cry like that? I just hope that it’s not something about suicidal thought or a self-destruct that suddenly overcame him.

The sledgehammer that he holds in his hands has a strange and vicious black red aura about it, and the sheer size of this thing is almost as big as his entire body. And now it was starting to cover with a bunch of skill effects, as if to visualize his fighting spirit.

「Just make sure that you won’t break in half like some sort of a matchstick, why don’t you……!?」

「W—Whoa! That’s actually amazing!」

Akane Akitsu’s surprise was really convincing in here, because the giant “Ku” character, whose spine is bent in the direction that it shouldn’t normally bend under any circumstances ever, was shot back here like it was taking a part in a rally or something similar to that……

「Ah, sorry about that.」

「You idiot, say something like that sooner next tiiiiiiiiime!!!!!!」

If I were to choose a way of death that I have the most in here, it would certainly be being crushed to death! I have experienced that way too freaking much recently!!!
