ShangriLa Frontier Chapter 269: Blowing A Machine Punch Into Ruleless Black Wolf Part 2

 

「A r-robot!?」

 

「It looks so cool, so this must be the reward for defeating the Gravekeeper Wezaemon……!?」

 

We perform a quick item sharing between guild members and in a short while the Non-Standard Aether Reactor comes back from Sanraku’s hands into Katsu’s, coming back where it originally belonged. Then, once Katsu receives the item, he loads it into the White Tiger.

 

Although the prior test runs somewhat decreased the effective time of its operation, the energy accumulated inside of it during the remaining stay in the underwater city was more than enough to power the machine up and bring it to life.

 

「I’m sorry about this, but I don’t have the time to fool around here. I’m going to get serious right from the get go…… Better brace yourself!」

 

The torso of the machine was slim and slender, and its limbs looked as though there were ready to crush anyone who dared to oppose them on the spot. Of course, the helmet was modeled after the image of the tiger’s head.

 

Seeing someone wearing a mechanical suit of armor like that in a fantasy game was almost unreal, as if it was taken straight out of a different game and pasted here purely by accident.

 

But this is ShangriLa Frontier we are talking about here. And just because no one knows about their existence, it doesn’t mean that there cannot be robots, aliens or things taken straight out of Sci-Fi wet dreams.

 

「Union Mode: White Tiger!」

 

「YEAH!」

 

The armor gives a very enthusiastic response and starts to move.

 

The body parts of the White Tiger begins to open up as it gets closer to Katsu, eventually enveloping his whole body like a warm sleeping bag.

 

As a result, the armor suit will strengthen the limbs of the wearer and will give him certain abilities, while also reinforcing his defensive capabilities.

 

Then, even though it is a machine, it takes something that resembles a deep breath. Once this process is done, the union is officially complete.

 

「Wha, what is this……!?」

 

「First time you see something like this, top guild? Good. It gives me all the more satisfaction that its first victims are going to be the members of the top guild.」

 

「INTAKE!」

 

The atmosphere gets shaken by a loud roar.

 

In the next moment, raging winds descends from the sky and gather around the White Tiger’s frame, focusing on the areas around its legs. Then the mechanical limbs start to absorb the winds and compress their power within themselves. All the while the winds roar like an angry tiger, which is giving the machine a rather eerie and dangerous atmosphere.

 

The Slashing Shadow was completely overwhelmed by the sheer display of raw power that was now standing in front of him. If he had any confidence in himself, right about now it was all but gone. The advantage here was purely on the White Tiger’s side.

 

And no matter how good your items or stats are, if you are under pressure you are never going to perform as good as normally. At that moment the victory slips out of your hands and goes straight to your opponent.

 

「When it comes to breathing, it is a two part process, correct? So it’s only natural what comes after inhaling…… Better grit your teeth, otherwise it might prove to be quite fatal.」

 

「EXHAUST!」

 

Some starts to raise up from within the White Tiger, and then it is thrown out.

 

Spitting out the compressed typhoon behind itself, White Tiger charges forward.

 

Even Katsu, who is not all that good with Robo games or MMOs to begin with, can cover his own shortcomings with this here suit of mechanical armor.

 

The Exhaust Acceleration Of White Tiger is something that splits the process in half, it reads the thoughts and intentions of its user, and then the system does everything automatically to make those thoughts a reality. And right about now, the thoughts of Katsu…… No, thoughts of Uomi Kei were all circulating around being stronger and faster than Silvia Goldberg. And to topple Sanraku, the one who was able to go toe to toe with her. This resulted in the overwhelming ambition to possess the power to end the battle with one, definitive first strike.

 

「So fast…… Bugeh!?」

 

「Good, very good…… With this thing in hand, I could beat Silvia into a pulp no problem…… No, I think it would be less satisfying this way, a victory against her must be achieved through normal means……」

 

For example, the accelaeration that the White Tiger managed to achieve right now was like that of five motor bikes’ engines combined together. It looked amazing from the spectator’s point of view, but when you realize that you are on the receiving end of it, things start to look very bleak.

 

There was an air shattering roar as Katsu’s fist flew towards Slashing Shadow’s jaw, striking a clean hit with no interruptions.

 

At that moment, four plates start to rotate around the fist that Katsu threw towards his opponent, forming some sort of weapon…… Non-Standard Tactical Weapon, Fist Type;; Battering Ram. The fist transformed into the literal battering ram, a weapon that was clearly not mean to be used against human opponents. The force of impact bends the face of Slashing Shadow in a way that human face should never distort.

 

Normally, if a normal person did an attack like that, but with a strengthened body, it would only result in a slight concussion or faint at best.

 

However, our opponent’s luck has run out. Because Katsu, as a Professional Gamer, was able to quickly grasp the nature of the tools he was given, and he could utilize their full potential shortly after getting his hands on them. Bein it White Tiger itself, or the Non Standard Weapon Battering Ram. It was a perfect combination, a perfect match.

 

In conclusion.

 

「Wait, what the hell is happening to my head!?」

 

「Is this the right angle?」

 

「You’re going to break it at this rate……」

 

「This is a game, so it should be okay! … Probably.」

 

「Upebuh.」

 

The guy’s neck made a really nasty cracking sound. However, it does not really matter since the first blow shortened his HP bar by whooping sixty percent, and that grab right now did another thirty without even breaking a sweat. Also, there was no way for him to escape what was coming.

 

「Ah! I totally forgot to mention that before. Here, in this place, there is no penalty for killing other players. So go out there and knock yourself out!」

 

「I’ve been waiting for this.」

 

「Todope!?」

 

In the next moment, a mechanical fist is slammed right in the face of the Slashing Shadow. Then he collapses to the ground an just stays there. Red polygons start to ooze from his face and soon enough he disappears from the arena. Then the White Tiger raises up, looking towards the rest of the opponents. He says:

 

「Next, please」
