SHANGRI-LA FRONTIER 2ND SEASON

#48: MURDER AT 100 METERS PER SECOND

3 YEARS AGO GALAXIA HEROES: BURST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

The strongest pro gamer...

I can finally have a match with you.

I've researched her play style down to all her minute details.

Her reaction speed is impressive, I give her that.

But having beaten a lot of pros up to now, I should be able to deal with it.

Let's have fun.

She acts all chill and playful, but that ends today!

The new hero from Japan, storming into the scene with a string of wins, "K,"

picked Armed Lava as expected!

And likewise, the world champion,

Silvia Goldberg, picked Metius!

He knows only a few losses since his debut!

With his high win rate,

K finally makes his way into the world championships final!

What kind of battle will he show us against the world champion?!

Here we go!

Counter grab!

And down against the floor!

I got her! This'll connect to a Liquid-Metal Bolt strike!

Liquid-Metal—

It connects!

She forced Armed Lava's impenetrable defense open!

She can do that from that position?!

No, it's not over yet!

Gotta observe her movement and prepare myself again!

Armed Lava thrown into the air!

There's no stopping this shooting star!

Is this really a human playing?!

ARMED LAVA

ARMED LAVA No way! This is nothing like

ARMED LAVA what I saw in videos of her!

ARMED LAVA This is beyond just about reaction time!

ARMED LAVA - HEROIC GAUGE It's like she sees through all my strategies.

ARMED LAVA - HEROIC GAUGE Every single thing I'd try...

HEROIC GAUGE Metius's gauge is maxed out!

The Super Finisher's coming!

Metius Strike!

K.O.!

She nailed it!

The winner is Silvi!

From the moment she broke his guard, she took him out in an instant!

T-This is... Silvia's strength...

I never thought I'd be this helpless against her.

That was amazing!

Good game, K!

I didn't think you'd take half my health down!

Your fakeouts and strikes are great, too.

Umm...

What was your full name again?

Kei... Uomi Kei.

I'm Silvia Goldberg.

I know.

I'm not gonna give up, okay?

Silvi.

I will surpass you no matter what!

Great. I can't wait.

So yeah, that was my first match against Silvia.

What do you think, Sunraku?

We believe you and her share a similar play style.

Yeah, but she's way faster than me.

She was blocking attacks as if she had a constant parry success bonus.

Her predictions are so precise, that's just crazy, honestly.

I think I can copy her technique, but it'd be hard to move exactly like her.

So, in other words...

If you're only good enough to have an even match against me playing Metius,

then winning against Silvia would be impossible.

That's why you said you want to fight Sunraku "for real," huh?

Sorry, I had to hide it from you.

I just don't want you to overthink it.

I'll forgive that.

I did get to kick you clean in the face, anyway.

Even though it's in VR, it felt like I'd lose my memory from that.

Anyway, that one doesn't count, okay?

Man, you're stubborn.

After she beat me hard in our first match,

I put even more effort into my research on Silvi,

and whenever I found room for improvement, I switched my character and tactics.

But in official matches, I got zero wins, eight losses, and a draw.

And Silvia's still evolving even now.

So she beat you up completely.

But you're aiming to win, right?

Of course.

Then we gotta have to do it.

Right when the world is buzzing all about that Silvi— the Star Rain...

If a rag-tag team like ours can beat them, wouldn't that be the coolest thing ever?

Yeah!

Katzo seems to be really enthused about this.

It seems that's how important beating Silvia is to him.

Given how determined Katzo is to fight Silvia,

the rest of us will likely end up facing those macho dudes.

Better think up ways to beat them, too.

All right! I'm all pumped up!

I'm gonna train hard tonight!

And I'll need some energy drinks for that, but...

Doesn't seem like they're selling any imported drinks here.

No, I said coffee!

Dark! A really strong one, and lots of it!

Umm, but ma'am, most coffees are dark, so...

Dark? Yes, that! Gimme lots of strong ones!

By "dark," maybe she means black coffee?

Black?

Yes, that! Black coffee!

Oh, right. Just one moment, please.

Oh, thanks! Appreciate that, boy!

No, no. No problem at all.

"Boy"?

Is she wearing a disguise?

Is she someone famous? Looks suspicious.

Not that I'm one to talk, though.

Oh!

That brand! I like it too!

But the ones in Japan are... a little thin?

Huh? Oh, yes.

They dial down the caffeine over here.

Is this person also a gamer?

Thank you for waiting, ma'am.

Here's the strong black coffee you asked for.

Wow!

I heard Japan's convenience store coffee is great,

so I've been waiting for this moment!

Dark, and lots of it!

Thank you!

It sure is impressive to see someone get that excited over a coffee, isn't it?

Wait, that person...

Nah, it can't be.

That kid sure bought a lot of energy drinks.

Maybe...

He's a gamer or something?

Tasty!

This does deserve a five-star!

Hey, there.

What are you doing, Silvi?

Didn't we agree to do a little warm-up in Galaxia Heroes: Chaos today?

Hmm, sorry.

The jet lag's got me all tired, so I'm gonna hit the bed early.

Go on without me.

Huh?! Are you kidding me?!

You were so full of energy not so lo—

I'll make up for it tomorrow, okay? Bye.

Well, I'm filled up on caffeine now.

Time to log in right away.

Into that single Japanese game that broke the entire gaming industry...

...Shangri-La Frontier.

Uh, I was thinking about making a plan to use against those muscle dudes,

but I'm starting to lose my focus.

Compared to the import drinks Katzo taught me,

this just has, like, no kick.

But drinking two will get my bladder full...

At a time like this, the best thing to do is to refresh with other games for a bit,

but I didn't bring my own VR system with me.

SHANGRI-LA FRONTIER DIGITAL EDITION

Found it! SLF's digital edition!

SLF uses biometrics and passwords to manage accounts.

As such, you can't make anything like sub-accounts,

but you can pretty easily access the game on another device.

Login from another device.

LOGIN FROM ANOTHER DEVICE Login from another device.

LOGIN FROM ANOTHER DEVICE Biometric ID required.

BIOMETRIC ID REQUIRED Biometric ID required.

Well...

You know, although they're a different game, they do share the same system.

It shouldn't be a total waste.

I pause at a pretty nice part, too,

and there are a lot of things I want to test and checkout.

Right! It's settled! I'll play just for a bit!

I'll play for about an hour, tops!

Sorry, Katzo!

I promise I'll just play to refresh myself and stop right away!

Hm? Oh, it's you, Sunraku.

Hey, Araba! It's been yesterday.

Wow, I'm really logged in.

Looks like Rei hasn't come here yet.

Say, do we have more furniture here or is it just me?

The human named Akitsuakane did a lot during the day.

TODAY: AKITSU, RUS, MOR Is that so?

TODAY: AKITSU, RUS, MOR She did say she could login today,

but of course, she won't be up this late.

Guess rabbits aren't nocturnal, huh?

Oh, crap!

C'mon, Emul. Close those eyes, okay?

This time for a nap.

Man, that was close.

If she woke up...

I will join you!

She'd make a lot of noise.

You're going out this late?

I suppose you're the nocturnal one.

When I'm all fired up, that's when I start moving.

The moment you wake up, you're on the move.

I know your type. You're like that fish that dies if it ever stops moving.

Who are you calling a tuna?

You want me to turn you into a shark-fin soup?

Huh? What is this "shark fin"?

A weapon?

- But he said soup, so is it a dish? - Well, better go before everyone wakes up.

In SLF, the set of enemies you fight often changes depending on the time of day.

I was wondering what sort of changes there are here in Ruluiath.

But would you look at that?

If this city's a ruin crushed by zombies by day,

then at night, it becomes a paradise for aquatic life, huh?

Wow! This is quite an awesome view!

I'm not going to stop you now.

But even if it's you, you better be careful.

Don't let your guard down.

What?

At night, Ruluiath has a king ruling over it.

A king?

Although it's night, it's not that dark.

The fishman zombies are back to being normal fish, so traveling is much easier.

I'm a little curious about this "king" Araba was talking about.

But for tonight,

I'm gonna examine the mystery behind Ctarnidd's ability.

The first thing to check would be...

The crumbled buildings are all fixed, like somebody hit the reset button!

Sunraku, what's this?

I don't know.

But if I have to guess, this has to be another one of Ctarnidd's abilities.

That power that repaired the destroyed town like it rewinds them back.

But to test that out, I'd need to break some stuff first.

Huh?

Sometimes the fish exhibit strange behavior like that.

It must be that.

When you enter the range of Ctarnidd's "turning" ability from the outside,

you'll get confused because the directions are turned upside down.

To me, this area's filled with air, but to them, it's filled with water.

But I didn't expect you could also enter the area directly from outside.

That means this place's not completely cut off from the outside.

The whole "turned over" city thing is still a mystery, but more importantly...

Huh?

That fish...

The giga-oarfish I fought yesterday!

He comes in from the outside too?

That's perfect!

He'll do just fine...

What? Another monster?

Blue flame...

It's on fire?

That's an aquatic creature, right?

It took that giga-oarfish on and it's keeping the fight even.

No, even more. It's totally the predator in this scenario!

Is that the "king" Araba talked about?

That blue effect... Is that electricity?

It insta-killed that giga-oarfish?!

A monster with two elements; blue flame and lighting,

nothing you'd find from an aquatic animal.

So this is the "king" of the deep sea!

RARE ENEMY: ATLANTICUS LEPNORCA So this is the "king" of the deep sea!

RARE ENEMY: ATLANTICUS LEPNORCA

Sheesh.

A Unique Monster-class enemy just pops out like it's no big deal.

Once again, Ruluiath is such a crazy place.

But as long as this is a game, no way there are areas that players can't beat.

I'll use that overwhelming destructive power of yours

as a tool for my experimentation!

If there is something I don't really like in SLF,

that'd be because of censorship of graphic content,

the animation for monsters eating others looks a little iffy.

Hey! You over there!

How long are you gonna keep on eating, you dual-element orca?!

I heard the Mermen call you a "king."

Will a king smile and let it slide

ARCTUS REGALECUS'S FLAMEHAIR FIN when his prey gets taken from him?

All right! He took the bait!

How much of this city you can level to the ground?

And what triggers its repair?

Depending on what I learn from this experiment,

the way I tackle Ruluiath will change widely.

I'm gonna have you help me with that, dual-element orca!

The targets to destroy are those tall towers

sitting on each corner of the city, said to be where the "Blockers" are.

A Blocker?

Some bastards with the unique ability to shut off your powers.

The only one I've heard about is "Krionaire"

who can seal off all types of magic.

What happens if I can destroy those towers where the blockers are?

Don't you wanna find out?

And to do that, I gotta reach those towers alive!

Those fins you got flashing with electricity.

It's what you used to kill of the giga-oafish, huh?

I'm sure that attack deals a lot of damage,

but it took nearly 30 seconds to activate.

But for someone who'd die from any form of attack anyway,

that's just a slow-ass attack that gives me plenty of time to deal with it.

That ain't a threat at all!

It's coming!

The bolts fly around the local area, huh?

Better to think of it as an area attack.

Whoa, did I really dodge that?!

I couldn't launch Inventoria in time at that distance, so I thought I was done for.

Now that's a cutting-edge VR chair people said to be for commercial use for you.

The response time is on a whole other level.

There are a lot of benefits to get from this where your reflex is crucial.

Oops, now's not the time to marvel at this.

But I can do this!

I just gotta go on to the tower.

What?

A new move?

I better be ready to use Inventoria.

Mr. Sunraku?!

Lots of carrots...

So tasty...

Good work.

As a human, I gotta use my head if I'm going to fight someone stronger than me.

Unlike some fussy gamers or sexually ambiguous gamers,

I actually know how to use my brain.

How dare you do that to us!

Looks like the gamers I've killed flock together to enact their revenge on me.

No matter what scheme she has up her sleeve, it's one against many.

Just what can she do?

At a time like this...

Like this?

The final Giant Killer's style!

I'll take everyone down with me!

Huh?

Self-destruct.

Aah, that was fun.
