Chapter 690: Echo Upon the Mirror's Surface, Roar From the Skyscrapers - Part 8

Author's Preface

A tactic to halt the Skyfarers who share the Shangri-La Frontier reader demographic by releasing an update during the fastest Ancient Battlefield ever recorded (incidentally, it seems the author fled the Ancient Battlefield to finish this).

【Kingdom Turmoil】 Shangri-La Frontier General Discussion 【Part 538】

219: Anonymous Pioneer

They seriously need to do something about the top-tier clans monopolizing the Unique Scenarios.

The fact that general players can't even interact with most Unique Monsters is just fundamentally unhealthy.

220: Anonymous Pioneer

Are you unaware that the appearance patterns for Lycaon (Shadow) have been made public!?

221: Anonymous Pioneer

This is that same guy from yesterday crying about having no connection to Unique Scenarios, right?

222: Anonymous Pioneer

Oh, the guy who spouted that nonsensical "Raid Monsters are actually Unique Monsters!" crap?

You keep using the phrase "general players" over and over, you're exposing yourself instantly, dude.

223: Anonymous Pioneer

Regular reminder that we are all general players here.

Well, I do think Ctarrnid's garbage lottery multiplier system was a bit much. That area ended up losing all autonomy and essentially turned into an entirely different game.

226: Anonymous Pioneer

It's a first-come, first-served rush game where you have to find and participate in the prerequisite scenario before the storm hits.

227: Anonymous Pioneer

Even with that, the top clans are colluding to manipulate which players get to participate!

228: Anonymous Pioneer

What is this, a conspiracy theory?

229: Anonymous Pioneer

The ones doing the colluding are the nekama army anyway.

230: Anonymous Pioneer

>>224

!?

231: Anonymous Pioneer

>>224

Wait, I just got redirected to somewhere insane.

232: Anonymous Pioneer

Oh, is it a virus?

Orchestra Walkthrough Live Stream

234: Anonymous Pioneer

Whuh!?

235: Anonymous Pioneer

I thought Library already cleared Orchestra.

236: Anonymous Pioneer

Library is the root of all evil. They're hoarding the Unique Scenarios.

237: Anonymous Pioneer

Just shut up already, Yotatron.

238: Anonymous Pioneer

I wondered whose walkthrough this was, it's freakin' Tsuchinoko-san!!

239: Anonymous Pioneer

Who the hell is Yotatron? I don't know who that is. Who are you?

240: Anonymous Pioneer

Ah.

241: Anonymous Pioneer

If it really wasn't you, you could have just ignored it...... which means?

242: Anonymous Pioneer

Wow, his movements are so gross......

243: Anonymous Pioneer

His commentary is so damn sloppy!!

244: Anonymous Pioneer

You constantly begging for Uniques both in-game and IRL is annoying as hell, Yotatron.

Your attitude blatantly changes the second you're talking to a woman, and then you immediately try to invite them to offline meetups.

245: Anonymous Pioneer

Are you one of those "direct connection" creeps?

246: Anonymous Pioneer

Getting exposed out of nowhere, poor Yotatron-kun.

247: Anonymous Pioneer

I don't care about some dating-app creep right now. Library still hasn't released any info on Orchestra's contents, so this is incredibly valuable.

248: Anonymous Pioneer

You've really done it this time, Tsuchinoko-san.

I wonder if this is some kind of rebellion against Library.

249: Anonymous Pioneer

His movements are disgusting.

250: Anonymous Pioneer

His body is twisting and flailing all over the place, it's honestly gross.

251: Anonymous Pioneer

Why is he floating in mid-air with his head pointing at the ground......

252: Anonymous Pioneer

Disgusting.

253: Anonymous Pioneer

Wait, maybe that's an advanced form of a wall-running skill? That one alters the direction of gravity.

254: Anonymous Pioneer

Ahー, so he's using mid-air jump footholds to flip himself upside down?

Well, there are still way too many movements that can't be explained just by that, though.

255: Anonymous Pioneer

Is this the level of execution required for light-warrior builds nowadays......?

256: Anonymous Pioneer

(Obviously, this level of acrobatics is) not required.

257: Anonymous Pioneer

Wait, is that armored samurai-looking guy Wethermon? You can rematch him?

258: Anonymous Pioneer

He looks kind of semi-transparent, is he a ghost or something?

259: Anonymous Pioneer

I knew Tsuchinoko-san had insane raw specs, but I didn't know he was this good at PvP-style combat too.

260: Anonymous Pioneer

I absolutely do not want to fight this guy in PvP.

261: Anonymous Pioneer

I think he's genuinely trying to provide commentary, but because he's constantly dodging, his words are all chopped up, and it mostly just boils down to "dodge with guts," so it's completely useless as a reference.

262: Anonymous Pioneer

Him repeatedly yelling "A wall tank will die!" is getting repetitive, but honestly, it carries a lot of convincing weight like...... yeah, I bet they would.

263: Anonymous Pioneer

What is with this demonic barrage?

264: Anonymous Pioneer

Spamming attacks with zero recast time for thirty straight seconds is insane.

265: Anonymous Pioneer

I was just about to type "You could probably survive that if you full-sprinted away," but the exact moment I thought that, Wethermon closed the distance with a completely absurd lunge.

266: Anonymous Pioneer

He crouched to dodge a fast-draw, did a handstand to deflect a grappling move with his feet, used those same feet to kick off Wethermon's chest to accelerate, dodged homing lightning bolts with continuous backflips, and after landing, flew through the air doing a triple axel to get behind him and dodge a cloud arm.

I wrote all that out, but even as the guy typing it, I don't understand a damn thing I just watched.

267: Anonymous Pioneer

What was that just now, it's so groooosss......

268: Anonymous Pioneer

Don't worry, none of us understand it even after reading it either.

269: Anonymous Pioneer

So the rumor that Tsuchinoko-san is specialized entirely in self-buffs is actually true?

His firepower has to be completely lacking, yet he still runs solo. Mad respect.

270: Anonymous Pioneer

I figured it out. He's supplementing his damage using the physics engine.

He's artificially boosting the STR of his swings using the momentum generated by accelerating himself with self-buffs.

271: Anonymous Pioneer

A bare-handed blade catch!

272: Anonymous Pioneer

Did he just parry a katana with his katana?

273: Anonymous Pioneer

No, seriously, it's gross. I'm not even trying to insult him, that's genuinely the only impression I can come up with.

274: Anonymous Pioneer

>>270

That's basically the equivalent of saying "If you throw a block of tofu at someone's face at the speed of sound, they'll die"......

275: Anonymous Pioneer

Man, Tsuchinoko's player skills are actually terrifying. It makes sense why he holds the Speed Holder title.

276: Anonymous Pioneer

Is Orchestra a four-stage boss rush? Wethermon is the third? What were the first and second?

277: Anonymous Pioneer

Some massive, chunky rhinoceros beetle and a scorpion firing lasers everywhere.

278: Anonymous Pioneer

Isn't that just a Crystal Scorpion variant? Oh hell no!!

279: Anonymous Pioneer

Wait, is the fourth one the Golden Scorpion?

280: Anonymous Pioneer

Tsuchinoko-san: "Ah, it's the Golden Age."

281: Anonymous Pioneer

The Golden Scorpion itself is still practically a complete mystery, yet Tsuchinoko-san is just casually killing it like it's nothing......

282: Anonymous Pioneer

Wait, what did he just say?

283: Anonymous Pioneer

Golden Age?

284: Anonymous Pioneer

THAT'S AN EXORDINARY MONSTER ISN'T IT!!!!

>>237...... Just what kind of What-eep What-ter are they......

Unrelated, but >>224, >>237, and >>244 are all the same person.

As expected, this woman chose the wrong option. She's the best.
