Chapter 1303 Resonating Mirror and Howling From the Sky PART 7 Part 2

「Musukko: Miser-san, while we are being at it, how is that training of yours to become a Sword Saint going?」

「Vitamin X: Tell me when you’re going to the next tournament, Camoru! I’d really like to see you in action once more!」

「Amacha: Is there actually a live streamer who is yet to go to the New Continent? Or are they all there already?」

「AHHHH! AHHH! I CAN’T HEAR YOU! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!!!!!!」

* * *

For some bizarre reason or whatever, the Emperor Crystal Scorpion was put into the “powerful opponents” category, which means that the lyrics that the Orchestra was providing during the battle were becoming more of a shackle rather than any actual help in this fight. Well, there is that fact, and the fact that the battle itself was starting to drag on because I was lacking in firepower when compared to that time when I was originally fighting the blasted thing. But I guess that at this point in time it was only a matter of course, something you would come to actually expect.

The disadvantage of this particular fight lies in the severely limited movement scope of the Scorpion itself. It takes so much time to do any of its actions instead of just doing them right away or breaking it into a whole bunch of smaller tasks. ……In that respect, the Unique Monsters have a large number of tasks that you need to manage and perform, but the fastest task competition can be achieved and the battle time can be shortened tremendously.

「Alright then, I wonder what is actually going to be net in here……」

「“THE STORY OF SANRAKU, ACT THREE: THE GRAVE KEEPER BEING PUT TO REST”!!!」

「Oh? Well, wouldn’t you know it? It’s Gravekeeper Wezaemon! Long time no see!」

Since the enemies so far were all connected to the Sigmonia Frontline Valley I thought we were just going to continue on with this trend, that we would do a so-called Sigmonia Frontline Valley Pack. But then you had to just go and ruin that experience for me with whipping out a Unique Monster, huh? Nice work, game. Really nice work.

Speaking of which, this True Gravekeeper Wezaemon is something that can no longer be rematched under any normal circumstances. …… But if this is like that, I wonder if it would be better to do something a little descriptive presentation for all of the “Library” members to be up to speed here. Now, when it comes to that whole Iron Meteorite Mirror, it is a really good thing that you can call it to your side simply by thinking about it. Long live automated operation! To hell with manual, who even needs that shit anymore!?

And just like that, I start to talk to the mirror floating nearby and hold my weapons in anticipation of the manifested warrior samurai.

「Ahh, umm, this is the Gravekeeper Wezaemon. Or rather I should say, the reproduction of the Unique Monster Gravekeeper Wezaemon.」

At that time, the name of the game was to evade as much as possible in order to avoid a complete and utter decimation, but right now I have a lot of skills under my belt that should make this fight relatively easy. And since this particular Gravekeeper Wezaemon does not use the level down barrier, the threat level of its otherwise deadly techniques should still be high, but no longer on the level that can basically insta-kill me. Whoa there, better stop talking and stop moving! Otherwise I might get in trouble!

The most reliable and safe avoidance strategy for this particular boss fight is to use the True World Observation skill, but if I use it here, then my ability to provide commentary is going to plummet substantially. So this time I need to avoid its attacks by avoiding manually or changing the strategy altogether into maximum violent one while getting used to the new situation on the fly.

「TACHIKAZE!!!」

「“Library” has a hold on the contents of the World Truth Book related to Gravekeeper Wezemon. But for the time being, this is the example of a super-fast instant death sword attack. I wonder if I’m used to it after all the other battles that I had to suffer through.」

Anyways, I think it would be more than adequate to force Wezaemon here to display some of its techniques for all the people watching out there to see. Now, after fighting Gravekeeper Wezemon’s reproduction in this Orchestra battle a couple of times, so the strategy for this fight is still pretty much vivid inside of my memories, so there are no problems there in that regard. You can even say that the strategy for this fight has been burned firmly inside of my brain at this point in time. Besides, if there are no equipment restrictions caused by a blunt level down debuff, and the accompanying stat decline, it’s kind of like an interpersonal battle with other player, but much easier.

「Alright then, for the time being, the skill composition of Gravekeeper Wezaemon is as follows, with the exception of the final attack released during the last phase of the battle: Umm…… “Tachikaze”, “Malestrom”, “Thunder Cloud”, “Cumulonimbus”…… And then we have the “Dragonfire Pillar” , “Crushing Dragon” and “Frigid Blizzard” that can be all activated in combinations with one another…… I wonder what he is going to use this time?」

Pillars of fire start to spew from the ground and a siege of ash falling from the sky comes right after that.. The ash siege is always clockwise in direction, so the surest thing to do here is to avoid the main stream of ash that has fallen from above and then immediately plunge into the left side of the ash cloud. Since this area has nothing to do with swords and other forms of weapons, it seems that I will also use the different colors of Wezaemon that have proliferated.

「In the first place, that was supposed to be an endurance battle, so what kind of countermeasures can be taken here against that?」

The most dangerous part of the battle against the Gravekeeper Wezaemon is having to deal with that nasty Kirin that joins in the middle of the battle itself, and in my case I had very little to do with that part. So the Orchestra only reproduces the Gravekeeper Wezaemon in my case. Moreover, I wasn’t caught in the level-down barrier, so it wasn’t reproduced either, which is actually a good thing.

So in other words, the reproduction of the Gravekeeper Wezaemon here is a really dull kind of a battle. Yeah, that sums it up rather nicely.

「You don’t even have to reach the climax of the battle itself, it will fall just like that if you just keep on hitting it hard enough. So come on, fake Wezaemon! Do your best to entertain me for a little while longer!」
