Chapter 289: In the Aftermath of the Calamity

【Raid Unique】New Continent Information Exchange Hub Part 182【Tenha-san】

13 Emi-Lia
I'm going to crush Noirlind.

14 Hardtack the 6th
Hieeh.

15 Tororo Glycerin
Emi-Lia-shi is looking seriously dangerous right now.

16 BuLuck Shine
No, you really can't blame her. I don't think anyone expected the base to get half-destroyed like that.

17 Basashi Musashi
All those base-building quests we've been steadily grinding out practically went up in smoke, after all...

18 Emi-Lia
I'm going to beat him until he begs for his life, cut off his head, and display it as the new symbol of our base.

19 Takuan-Topped Tiramisu
Seeing Emi-Lia-shi working on the restoration with a face more expressionless than a Noh mask was... ah, well, terrifying. Might be rude to say it while she's right here, but yeah.

20 Jupiter
But practically speaking, what's the general consensus among the players? Which clear condition are we aiming for in this Tenha Unique Scenario?

21 Baiousei
It's either Siegwurm or several colored dragons, huh.

22 Elf-Gasuki
Reporting in from the Elf Thread! It seems our Hero Tottori, who is currently with the Elves, has made contact with the Green Dragon Brockentried.

23 AB-Ten
Seriously? As expected of Hero Tottori...

24 Basashi Musashi
Honestly, the fact that he's maintaining a zero-death run in that dinosaur paradise while traveling with the Elves is genuinely impressive.

25 Baiousei
It's a demonic realm where if you let your guard down, a Thoroughbred Triceratops will come flying out of the shade of a tree and blow you away, after all...

26 Emi-Lia
It has been confirmed that Triceras Dinobred materials can be used for the defensive walls. If anyone has extra materials to spare, please donate them to the material delivery box at the base.

27 Amaru Gum
Barbarian...

28 Undo=Romeda
Insulting the very pillar of the New Continent is the same as making enemies of all the Crafters, you know.

29 Hardtack the 6th
Realistically speaking, outside of the guys who were out exploring... specifically, among the people who were actually present for Noirlind's base assault, is there anyone who actually wants to fight Siegwurm-san?

30 Takuan-Topped Tiramisu
Well, the collateral damage from the fight between Noirlind and Siegwurm was pretty awful too, though.

31 Rock Black
But he did protect the Save Point for us.

32 Tottori the Shimane
That was seriously a close call.

33 Baiousei
The Hero!

34 Elf-Gasuki
Oh, our Hero Tottori!

35 Tororo Glycerin
What was the Green Dragon like?

36 Tottori the Shimane
That thing is insanely broken. It absorbs magic power or something from the ground, so no matter how many arrows you pump into it, it instantly regenerates.

37 Basashi Musashi
Ah... A regeneration type, huh.

38 Jupiter
Looking at it objectively, it feels like the route is definitely going to split between fighting just Siegwurm or fighting multiple colored dragons, doesn't it?

39 Emi-Lia
Was there ever more than one path to choose from the start?

40 Kappenter
Actually, the vast majority of the Crafters on the New Continent are pro-Siegwurm. Or rather, I guess it's more accurate to say the anti-Noirlind faction is the mainstream.

41 Thunder Nut
But among the combat classes, there are a few here and there who want to challenge Siegwurm.

42 BuLuck Shine
Well, personally I'd prefer to take down Noirlind, but in terms of widespread player participation, this is the first real Unique we've had...

43 Basashi Musashi
Yeah, since That Person has been monopolizing all the Uniques up until now...

44 Beethoven
I heard this from a certain source, but apparently That Person completely annihilated Black Wolf or something.

45 Indoru
I've been saying this for a while now, but I'm pretty sure the one hoarding all the information isn't That Person, but Arthur Pencilgon.

46 Rudowar
More importantly, it's seriously impossible to track That Person down.

47 Basashi Musashi
On the flip side, there are eyewitness reports of people just having totally normal conversations with him, so I seriously don't get him at all.

48 Shippu Dotou
At the very least, it seems Library has managed to make contact with him to some extent.

49 Tororo Glycerin
But they refuse to disclose any information until they've finished their own analysis and theories on it...

50 Takuan-Topped Tiramisu
Hey, if you're going to talk about That Person, take it to the Search Board, not here.

51 Basashi Musashi
Nah, it's actually a pretty relevant topic here.

52 Rudowar
I mean, he has Lycaon's curse, and he's defeated Wethermon and Ctarrnid. At this point, it wouldn't be surprising if he already had information on Siegwurm.

53 Jupiter

44
Wait, Black Wolf suddenly splitting into two... don't tell me...

54 Knox
Nah, regarding that, isn't it more like cutting off a lizard's tail?

55 Marudouku
I talked to Massive Dynamite-san the other day, and apparently almost all the main members are following the clan on Psyger-100's side.

56 Beethoven
Ah... (I see)

57 Bad Blood
Madam Massive Dynamite is practically the object of worship for the Church of Min-Maxed STR.

58 Thunder Nut
Realistically speaking, if you can output as much absurd firepower as Mad-D-san, could you pierce Noirlind's carapace?

59 Bad Blood
Madam's main weapon is a blunt/strike type, so if she aims for the head, she could probably score stuns and flinches with a high probability.

60 Bad Blood
But with a min-maxed STR build, it's an impossible game unless you have a situation where you can guarantee your hits land. Both Noirlind and Siegwurm can fly normally, so unless we figure out a way to pin them to the ground, we can't do anything.

61 Shippu Dotou
Wait, doesn't that mean we could manage something if we have SF-Zoo?

62 Tororo Glycerin
Those guys start taking screenshots right in the middle of combat, so their compatibility with Raids is fatally bad... I do kinda like the photo albums they release, though.

63 Rock Black
I mean, some of those angles make it obvious they died the instant after taking the shot... There are definitely some professionals mixed in there.
Also, it's low-key hilarious how similar our names are.

64 Bad Blood
The tank group from over there are absolutely top-tier walls, though, second only to the Commander of the Saint-chan Fanclub.

65 Beethoven
Seeing heavily armored guys who can barely walk properly just rolling around is hilarious from an outside perspective, but their aggro management is absolutely perfect...

66 Marudouku
I partied up with the Zoo's tank group once, and it was incredible. It turned the game into easy mode—I didn't take a single hit, and they never even let the aggro slip to me once.

67 Thunder Nut
Bringing the topic back, even if we decide to target Noirlind, there are other targets we have to deal with too. Either way, we can't do anything until we finish mapping the New Continent, right?

68 Okottoshinu
Wait, wasn't there one that was already dead?

69 Rudowar
That's seriously hilarious. Which means it was already dead before the Unique Scenario even started.

70 Basashi Musashi
Don't tell me That Person...

71 Takuan-Topped Tiramisu
There's no way, right? That Person still seems to be on the Old Continent.

72 Indoru
But he defeated Ctarrnid, which is clearly a marine organism, so he definitely went out to sea...

73 Tissher
Come to think of it, since it's a Blue Dragon, does that mean it's Water-attribute?

74 Thunder Nut
............Is this seriously a That Person incident?

75 Knox
Someone catch That Person and interrogate him already.

76 Tororo Glycerin
Do you guys know what they're calling That Person on the Search Board? A Tsuchinoko. They're calling him a Tsuchinoko.

77 Rock Black
The fact that he's being treated as an Unidentified Cryptid is genuinely hilarious.

78 Wombat
Guess we'll have to rely on the Search Team. But didn't Deep Slaughter-san already come over to this side?

79 Emi-Lia
Maybe I should do some slaughtering for the first time in a while...

80 Baiousei
There are rumors that if you slaughter too carelessly in this game, a Penalty Monster spawns. Isn't that dangerous?

81 Basashi Musashi
Apparently, you just instantly die before you even realize what happened. People say it's the work of some monster, but who knows.

82 Thunder Nut
Bringing the topic back again, even if we actually choose the route to side with Siegwurm, since the Blue one is dead, we still have to find the locations of the remaining four: Red, Green, White, and Black.

83 BuLuck Shine
Hero Tottori-san prioritized survival and apparently ran away from the Green Dragon immediately, right?

84 Elf-Gasuki
A wise decision.

85 Wombat
You guys in the Elf Thread seriously need to hurry up and rendezvous with Tottori...

86 Knox
Even if he has NPCs in his party, essentially playing solo while doing a refugee run sounds insanely tough.

87 Okottoshinu
Honestly, considering the eyewitness reports of Lizardmen and the whole Race Conversion mechanic, I feel like making contact with the other races is going to be mandatory.

88 Hardtack the 6th
Even if we choose the route to defeat Siegwurm, Siegwurm just flew off somewhere while fighting Noirlind anyway.

89 Tororo Glycerin
Right now, the only ones whose existence is definitively confirmed are the Elves and the Beastmen, right?

90 Thunder Nut
Yeah, and then we have eyewitness reports for Lizardmen and Bugmen.

91 Super Farmer
Do plant monsters count as another race!?

92 Knox
You literally just called them monsters yourself...

93 Shippu Dotou
There's just no way the first wave of players can handle this alone. We're going to have to use human wave tactics and include all the new players coming over.

94 Deep Slaughter
Well, these kinds of Raids always have MVP rewards and the like, you know. Is it really fine for you all to be dawdling around? Look at you, dawdle dawdle.

95 Indoru
DeepThro-san, you're one of the very few players who owns a Coordinate Transfer Gate, so if you vanish on a solo play run, it'll genuinely screw us over since we won't be able to travel between continents...

96 Deep Slaughter
This is just my personal impression, but regarding That Person... I have a feeling Sunraku-kuuun's disappearing act might have something to do with teleportation-type magic.

97 Deep Slaughter
Also, I haven't vanished, okay? I'm just out on a business trip because the folks from Black Wolf... excuse me, "former" Black Wolf, asked for my help.

98 Knox
As usual, the fact that this person's character is so inconsistent is their entire character.

99 Bad Blood
Wait, Madam is already back on the Old Continent!? Seriously? She's fully intending to win against Lycaon...

100 Emi-Lia
I'm going to crush Noirlind.

Author's Afterword
Actively beating dinosaur monsters to a pulp and steadily building up a defensive line made entirely of bones.
