Chapter 212: Using whispers to incite fantasies, and then switching from offense to defense, lately, she is quite a technician
Day 58 â Late Morning, Dungeon, 50F
In the end, there were only two hidden rooms. While the items were quite good, they were nothing especially impressive. Even so, while they canât become a decisive element, improved with mithril they might become a sufficient increase in battle potential.
Thatâs because the other two items are too outstanding. They keep displaying an overwhelming might, completely outclassing every other item.
The chain whip wielded by the Pres-sama ăChain Whip of Savage Lightningăcreates a wall of offense with its overwhelming storm of destructive force. ăChain Whip of Savage Lightning â ALL 70% UP, +ATT, Grand Lightning, Whirlwind, Hundred Strikes, Seal of Raging Skies, Shape and Length Manipulation.ă, at that point, thatâs a suppression weapon. And when wielded with the presâ Whip Mastery it can overpower even a dungeon master.
And then the halberd used by the Geek Guardian, last night I mithrilified and infused it with magic stones, turning it into an exceptional weapon,ăGreat Sweeping Blade â ALL 50% Up, +ATT +DEF, Slashing/Blunt/Thrust Attack Bonus (Greater), Sweeping Windă. Sweep, stab around, cut enemies to pieces storming through the battlefield, an all-purpose polearm weapon. He tears through enemies by chaining together weapon skills. With his keen focus, he keeps the combo up, forcibly turning it into a multi-hit attack. A perfect reliance on cheats.
The difficulty of that devastating combo is so ultra-high that it makes one wonder why not use that concentration on practicing his basics? He forcibly merged several moves with full-automatic execution into one consecutive attack.
An amazing combo that has not a shred of confidence in his own ability behind it. He didnât insert even a single attack made with his own power to fill the gaps!
The Pres-sama and the Geek Guardian are going back and forth, switching positions, alternating offense and defense.
Thatâs why they are consistently able to receive his attack when their defenses are ready, and at the same time, as much as the opponent might wish to break that formation since the onslaught of attacks never stop the enemy is forced into defensive combat, gradually being pushed back.
A giant that spits fire from its three heads. ăCacus Lv100ă, since it was an unexpected Lv100 dungeon master, I was about to take him on, but that was put on hold, so Iâm currently on standby. Well, I tried to scan around, but it seems his little sisterăCaciaăis not around, so it should be alright, however, they seem to be well-matched in terms of strength, so itâs an undoubtedly dangerous fight. They are simply misleading and dominating him through strategy, so there is no room for negligence.
But Cacus is a son of the god of fire Vulcan that appears in Roman mythology, and a giant who does mischief together with his little sister Cacia until he is eventually exterminated by Hercules. The nature of his offense is cattle thievery, a very odd monster.
But with his sister not around, were they unable to keep good family relations in this world? Wait, speaking of not going well, there was a version that Cacia betrayed Cacus and revealed the location of his cave to Heracles. Them not being on good terms is very likely. This world is a tough one too.
And I canât let my guard down here too! To think that Armored Pres-san would come with ă8-step Ladderăfrom ăGreat Pyramidă! Taking it under the assumption that she was going for ăHelicopterăwas a mistake. Escaping to ăFishnetăI tried to progress from there, but just when I relaxed thinking that itâs safe now, she began progressing towardsă8-step Ladderă. Slime-san even began bouncing from the excessive shock. How fearsome is ex-dungeon emperor scheming! This is the true stratagem! In fact, even ăGreat Pyramidăwas nothing but bait, a mere part of a grand catâs cradle scheme!
(Jiggle-Jiggle)
Slime-san seems to be having a hard time too, but you canât use more than 10 tentacles, okay? If we go that way itâll become a never-ending catâs cradle story since we all can do that? Itâs banned.
Actually, Armored Pres-san can use Evil Hands as well. When I tried the 20-sword style with Evil Hands, she countered it with the 10-sword style! By the way, she could counter it with just one sword, so the result is the same in the end. Naturally, while I say countered, I mean beat the hell out of me.
Generally, I end up having a bad time if Iâm trying to hold out through small gimmicks, but when I fight through sheer ability, I still end up having a bad time. For now, Iâve never seen any conclusion aside from having a bad time. Iâm pretty sure that the latest popular understanding is supposed to be that while the word is written as ăpracticeă, it is to be read as ăsufferingă and understood as ăgetting beaten upă.
At this rate, my name will soon be followed by ăPunching Bagăin parenthesis. Yesterday, I felt that somehow I was referred to as a register, I wonder if it was just my imagination?
At last, the second head fell to the floor. Soon, his left hand will be chopped off as well. And then it will be checkmate. ăRegenerationăof level 100 dungeon master canât keep up at all anymore. With his ăGrand Blazeăbeing blown away by the Pres-samaâs chain whip, he is reduced to a normal giant. Unable to do anything he is being simply destroyed while helplessly raging around. Roaring in rage, Cacus is gradually being whittled down.
He is distracted by the Pres-sama and the Geek Guardian who seem like the biggest threat. But the real source of damage is the saturation attack by the other 27 people. They seem to be slowly wearing him down, but it is them who took 80% of his HP while he was preoccupied with the two that seemed like the biggest threat.
This is a total tactical victory. By the point he got caught into their tactic there is nothing a level 100 dungeon master can do except go down. A complete victory.
And here we have Armored Pres-sanâs complete victory too. If it was a 4 step ladder I couldâve handled it, but 8-step is too much. Itâs my utter defeat.
ăIâm really moved that we finally defeated a level 100 dungeon master⌠But the catâs cradle is really bothering me!ă
ăUntilăGreat Pyramidăboth offense and defense were amazing, watching it was really worthwhile. However, 8-step was impossible, huh?ă
ăHaruka-kunâs defeat was already sealed when he chickened out and tried to return it to Fishnet. His lack of heart brought defeat.ă
For some reason, a review session for our string game has begun. Moreover, Iâm currently being dissed? Well, I did chicken out. But why was everyone watching that?!
ăEnough about catâs cradle, letâs begin the review session! Gather up, but why is there a catâs cradle tournament being held right when we are desperately fighting a boss? Moreover, itâs like the boss is just a sideshow, with everyone being focused on that passionate battle?!ă
The Pres-sama is infuriated. She mustâve gotten emotional damage (Trauma) from her previous experience with catâs cradle. And while it seems she is very dissatisfied with the catâs cradle tournament, itâs not because she didnât feel anything. For example, last night, during that turtle shell bondage incident, she kept writhing around, making the cord burrow deeper, clearly showing that she is feeling it in a very sensual and sensitive way.
Or rather, why is the Armored Pres-san whispering to me about dangerous incidents of the girls-only meetings right in the middle of our nighttime showdown? Isnât it rude if Iâll think about some different girl when we are doing it? And right when I thought that, the Armored Pres switched from defense to offense! The exquisite use of whispers for both offense and defense.
And while going hard on offense she kept whispering into my ear about where the cord was wedging in, how her breasts were, where they accidentally rubbed when trying to free her and what happened because of that? As a result, yesterday I ended up in an unusual unfavorable position, and had to endure numerous attacks until I was able to finally turn the situation around! It was a fearsome trap of the dungeon emperor. And since she has become quite a technician lately, I canât take her lightly! She is truly a worthy opponent, tonight we are going to have another showdown!
And then I ended up repeatedly apologizing to the Pres-sama who was glaring at me with a teary-eyed flat gaze while brandishing her whip. And of course, despite repeatedly apologizing, I was still made to kneel and scolded. Regrettably, it seems she had no such similar incidents with the whip, no wedging in or twining around. Truly regrettable.
And while they called it a review meeting, they were beaming with smiles, thatâs delight and confidence that came from beating a level 100 dungeon master with their own strength.
And they reached level 100 themselves. Finally, around half of the classmates managed to break through the level 100 wall and gained new power.
I mean, passing or not passing is not that important now, since they obtained the strength to truly contend with dungeon masters. Gathering a whole raid group to challenge those on the 50th floor might be an overkill now.
So the condition is defeating a level 100 dungeon master? And if there are level 100 adventurers, it means that there are people out there who are capable of that. Isnât it a bit of a tall task though?
