Chapter 266 Part 1
《You have received 2 pieces of information from the GMs. Do you wish to read it?》
《There are two messages from your friends》
The time I logged in was 5:50 a.m.
The Cintamani properly produced Magic Stones.
Good, good.
By the way, system info?
I’m sure it’s the usual thing anyway.
Shall I check it out while I’m letting Bunraku do the cooking?
《Update: As of yesterday, the database has been updated!》
I knew it.
Well, I guess I don’t need to look at it right now.
I’ll put it off.
What about the other note?
《Update: We’ll be holding a tournament! The format of the tournament will change, so please be careful!》
They’re doing it again. You’re doing it again?
I’ve already participated in this tournament twice, so can I just skip it?
I think it would be more suitable for me to explore various places.
So, what are the messages?
The first one was from Fiona.
Oh, how unusual.
『There are several circulars from the Adventurer’s Guild with information on Remut. Read the attached document for details okay?』
I wonder what it is.
Circular letters?
Upon looking at it, I saw some wanted posters.
It’s for the capture of escaped criminals.
Oh.
I guess it’s a pursuit event.
There are also a few item obtainment requests.
They’re all mysteries.
There’s a note from Fiona attached to it.
『If you’re ahead of the curve, you may have already completed some of them.』
Hmm.
But too bad.
I hadn’t gotten any of them yet.
At the Players Guild by Fiona, apparently there’s a group that’s chasing those non-combat requests.
I’m interested in chasing down some people, but no matter how you look at it, those quests seem suited for PKers and PKKers, don’t they?
Besides, I’m on the S5W1 map.
If they have the guts to run this far, I’d be happy to take them on.
But I don’t think that’s going to happen.
So, what’s next?
It’s from Lambda.
『I’m planning to go to Remut for the fighting tournament. Would it be possible for us to meet?』
Oh my.
Remut, huh?
It’s six squares away on the map, right?
I don’t mind going to see him.
Speaking of which, was the time to seize revenge coming up?
It’d be nice to meet him before then.
I’ll check the system info.
The fighting tournament will be held in five days, huh.
Hmmm.
Should we try to meet the day before the event?
Mm.
Let’s say the day before the event, just to give ourselves enough time.
What’s the location?
Around the Adventurer’s Guild, is that okay?
Well, I can send messages or contact him by Telepathy, it’ll be fine.
Hm?
I guess I could contact you via Telepathy now, right?
But alas, it seems that Lambda isn’t logged in.
I’ll reply to him via message.
Let me think.
If we travel through the sky, we can probably reach Remut in a day.
But we’re on a map with troublesome monsters in the sky.
Including today, travel’d be four days.
We can probably reach it while moving on the ground.
First, we move North.
From there, shall we go to Remut via the Wind Spirit Village?
We can also start flying partway through.
After we’ve eaten, let’s set up a mobile formation.
What about the Abnormal Status on Kyokuya?
It seems to have disappeared.
I’ll have to keep that in mind.
In the end, I’ve decided on Volff, Zangetsu, Helix, Obsidian, and Kyokuya.
Golems?
Basically, let’s ignore them and prioritize movement.
I’ve thickened up the aerial force to counter the Killing Stones.
No.
I also kind of just wanted to use Obsidian.
The northern map is full of dinosaurs.
I wonder if there are any bald dinosaurs.
What’s the official name?
I don’t remember, but that’s okay.
The bones in his head were pretty good materials.
Bald is good, bald.
I can hunt it again as a token of my gratitude.
The Golems are well as ever.
But I choose my opponents.
I pass through all of them.
If we start dealing with them, it’d just take too much time and there’d be no end to it.
I check the location of the Killing Stones with Call Monster, and weave my way north through the gaps.
I use my magnetic compass to correct my direction as I move.
Perhaps it was because I had decided that I would only be dealing with Killing Stones, but I was able to reach the S4W1 map quickly.
The starting point was the north side of the S5W1 map, so it was only natural.
Once we entered the S4W1 map, we turned to the northwest direction.
That’s right.
If we continue straight ahead, we’ll end up in a place we know.
That’s no fun.
I decided to go to the S4W2 map.
On top of that, we should aim for the North.
What? We should be able to make it in time for our appointment.
And there should be plenty of time to hunt along the way.
I guess I’ll have to actively hunt bald dinosaurs.
I’ve got plenty of room in my《Item Box》.
By the way.
What was the official name of the bald dinosaur?
Pachycephalosaurus.
Let’s recite it!
Pachycephalosaurus, that’s right.
I feel like it took me a long time to hunt it before.
Today, it’s an easy hunt.
The reason for this is obvious.
Once I’ve got it under control with Gravity Prison, it’s all mine.
All I have to do is charge at it on Zangetsu.
Even if I don’t use the Lance Charge Burst martial art, they’d be down with two normal charges.
And then there are also summoned monsters.
If there’s just one opponent it’s nowhere close.
Even if there are more than five of them, if we make use of Pitfall, we won’t get surrounded.
It’s fun and easy.
It’s the same with the Megalosaurus.
Pteranodons are the most annoying, but once we pin them to the ground, it’s easy.
I’m stunned.
This is a map five squares from Remut, and I don’t think the monsters that come out are weak.
In fact, dealing with five bald dinosaurs is worse than dealing with a sphinx or a spinx.
If I pitfall at the wrong time, there’s a good chance we’ll be surrounded and captured.
I had to be careful.
And yet, have I gained confidence?
I’m definitely getting stronger, aren’t I?
That’s for sure.
By the way.
What was the official name of the bald dinosaur again?
Well, whatever.
Did we manage to get some good amounts of meat, Beaten Head Dinosaur Skulls, and Horned Pterosaur Skulls?
In front of me is the S4W2 map.
Now, what do we have?
Tyrannosaurus Lv.2
Demon Target: Active
Battle Position: Ground
Out of nowhere!
Wasn’t there a word for a Tyrannosaurus rex?[1. TN Note: The game’s Tyrannosaurus is spelled with English pronunciation instead of using the Japanese word]
Its impact is amazing.
In terms of size, a sphinx or a spinx is probably larger.
But its intimidating effect is not inferior.
Its jaws, and rows of fangs.
When put together with its howl, it’s quite frightening.
Maybe because of the effect of Psycho Pod that had been placed on everyone, they all stood strong.
My ears hurt.
Turn it down!
How’s its speed?
No less than Zangetsu’s.
Of course, Zangetsu has been strengthened with spells.
But it’s still catching up to me.
Gravity Prison did the trick, but it’s still running around fast enough that I can’t let my guard down.
And Pitfall?
It got stuck.
The next thing I knew, it was jumping out of the pit.
Thorn Fence?
It was able to avoid it by jumping the wall itself.
Attack spells would hit, but its HP bar wouldn’t decrease much.
It doesn’t look like I have enough time to try a charge attack.
Helix and Obsidian were still curbing it in, but it seemed almost like it didn’t care.
What do we do?
What do we do with this one?
But I’m really glad there’s only one of them.
If there had been two of them, I might have panicked.
As long as the Gravity Prison is in effect, we’re able to outpace it in terms of mobility.
Conversely, when the effect wears off, we could be in a tight spot.
I’ve gotta do something.
After activating Defensive Fall, what should we do?
I used Helix and Obsidian as breakthrough points.
「Enchanted Ice!」
It gives the two birds an ice attribute.
If the attacks stack up, the agility reduction might eventually take effect.
How is it?
I observed them for a while.
The damage itself seems to have increased, though only slightly.
After layering on the Delay spell as well I wonder if its agility was somehow reduced?
The red marker is superimposed with a small marker indicating an abnormal status.
Hmm.
It seems to be effective.
I cast Enchanted Ice on Volff and Kyokuya, and continue the battle.
Well.
Can we hunt them down?
「Lance Charge Burst!」
When Kyokuya’s attack knocked him off his stance, I charged at him.
How much damage?
It’s not even half.
Putting together all of the damage it’s accumulated so far, it’s only fallen by 40 percent?
I guess it’s still alive and well.
However, it seems that it’s been poisoned.
And paralyzed.
The paralysis is probably only temporary.
Charge for the stomach!
The response was good enough.
But it still had over 40% of its HP bar left.
What a guy!
As I gave him one more charge, he recovered from the paralysis.
But I’m not afraid anymore.
The Tyrannosaurus was suffering from another abnormal condition.
It was a stat debuff.
The rest of the battle continued as normal, and soon the Tyrannosaurus became paralyzed.
And the summon monsters gathered and finished it.
The Tyrannosaurus was severely weakened at the end, but it was still scarier than the Megalosaurus.
That’s why I couldn’t miss it when he fell into paralysis.
I’m sorry.
Rest in peace.
By the way.
Don’t eat any more meat, Kyokuya.
I want to see what’ll drop.
【Material】Ravenous Dinosaur Meat Raw Material Quality C Rarity 4 Weight 10
Tyrannosaurus meat. Moderately tender, but almost fat-free.
Mm.
It’s nothing good!
But meat, huh.
I don’t have a lot of meat on hand.
I didn’t buy any meat at Romud in the port town.
Since I still had the Ghost Horse Meat on me.
So we have more food.
That’s what I’ll take it as.
Triceratops Lv.3
Demon Enemy Target Passive
Battle Position: Ground
Ah, it’s here.
When it comes to famous dinosaurs, there are a few species that even I know about.
This is one of them.
A three-horned herbivorous dinosaur.
So, what should we do?
Should we hunt it?
It’s a herd of about 10 but?
Pass.
We’re passing here.
I have a bad feeling about this.
And I’ll check the distribution with Call Monster.
There aren’t that many Tyrannosaurus.
But there are a lot of Triceratops.
And they’re in packs.
Even in the smaller groups, there are at least five.
Because of that I probably won’t really have many chances to face off with them.
I prioritize movement and aim for the center of the S4W2 map.
Of course, I’m on alert.
Especially of the sky.
I haven’t encountered any airborne units on this map yet.
I’m sure there will be more troublesome ones.
This is definitely another dinosaur map.
The problem is.
The only type of Pterosaur I know of is the Pteranodon.
And then an Archaeopteryx or something?
I can’t even imagine a more troublesome opponent than that.
