Chapter 106: New Wave Incoming Part 1
「Daaaaaagh! I lost!」
I scread at the top of my lungs when I respawned at the entrance, without even caring that I was gathering the attention of other players that were present out there.
Ahhh, god damn IT! I was too focused on that last attack! Thinking about it now, I was as good as dead once my thrusters and other parts got damaged. Once it lost its mobility, Kingfisher was nothing more than a sitting duck.
If the damage was directed at the legs, I could have tried to prolong the battle to force it into a draw again, but the new match ti made that task increasingly more difficult.
「There’s nothing wrong with my offensive power, but what good will it do to if I’m not able to avoid incoming attacks?」
That is to say, I also didn’t expect the arena to be so small. It made maneuvering that much harder, because of which I couldn’t realize my full potential. But it’s no use worrying about it now.
「After all, equipnt is also a crucial part…… Without so good parts it will be impossible for to rack up wins again……」
It goes to show just how much things have changed since the last ti I was around. New weapons, new parts, new strategies. Compared to that, I was clumsy and sluggishly slow.
Originally “Kingfisher” was modeled after a certain boss in this ga, but if I wanted to change my style and play in a different way, the only thing I needed to do was to change so parts and voila!
Thinking about that, I cross my arms over my chest. On a side note, this Sanraku, contrary to my ShanFro counterpart, was fully dressed, so there was no threat of people giving the look all the ti.
「That stupid player na…… No doubt about it! You’re the “Kingfisher”!」
「Eh? Ahh…… Rust? Oh, yeah, right, Rust. Thanks for a wonderful match out there. GG, good ga and all that.」
「GG…… Go shove it up your ass!」
When I turn around I can see a girl’s avatar approaching . She was glaring at quite intensely through her visor, which could be selected at the very beginning of the ga as an accessory.
Incidentally, the accessory I was wearing on my head right now was called “Old Nephilim Fusion Auxiliary Unit”. It was an advanced accessory that one of the subclasses, a Gadgetman, could use in this ga. It’s stats were pretty good, but the only downside was that it looked kind of like a huge kettle.
The fact that it hindered my field of view and that no one else was wearing it at the current mont was a testant to the fact that I was gone from this ga for a long ti.
「Why the hell are you back in this ga……!?」
「Eh, why……?」
Even if you ask that, wasn’t just the urge to have fun enough of a reason to do sothing? While I was thinking that to myself, I saw a young man walking towards Rust and tapping her on the shoulder. When he spoke, his voice was even younger than his looks.
「I’m terribly sorry. Rust might talk and behave like that, but in reality she’s really glad that you ca back to the ga.」
「Eh, ah! You’re the worst……!」
Looking closely now, Rust was gently pulling my clothes as if she was trying to get closer, but I couldn’t feel any real hostility coming from her. She seed like a little dog that found a bone that it was looking for for so long…… Would that make this boy, Mold, its owner?
「Now hurry it up……! I want a rematch……!」
「Umm, I’m terribly sorry but…… I’m really busy at the mont.」
「Mold, you idiot!」
「Ouch!?」
As Rust kicked Mold’s shin and screams at him, Mold jumps up and shrieks in pain. Putting that codic skit aside, it seems that one of the top ranking players wanted to have a rematch with .
So my answer could only be one.
「Sorry, but not right now.」
In that instant I could see that the expression on Rust’s face changed drastically. She was red on the face and her eyes narrowed down considerably. She then asked quietly.
「Why?」
「Well you see, I was going to co up with a new build for my Nephilim.」
I read quite a bit of patch notes while I was waiting to log in. It seems that this ga was receiving updates and new content quite regularly, unlike certain “Crap” that had months of drought only to release a sh*tload of content in one go.
I will most probably return to ShanFro in a day or two, but for now I wanted to see if I could improve “Kingfisher” to so extent.
When I said that, Rust turned towards Mold and apologized to him, her expression softened considerably.
It’s not that I hate people who take playing gas overly seriously. If you are passionate about sothing, then sure, go right ahead and be that way. But you need to take into account that not everyone wants to take sothing as seriously as you do.
「…… In that case, tomorrow. Let’s have a rematch tomorrow morning.」
「Hmm, alright.」
I accepted Rust’s challenge and smiled at her, even though she wasn’t able to see it because of the mask that was on my face.
Then I decided to give constructing a new Nephilim a go right away.
