Chapter 197: Reaching the Heavens Part 3 Part 1
There is an old saying in this world: ‘Ti and tide wait for no man’.
It ans more or less that you should always use Light Magic and Dark Magic as soon as you can, because they are crazy powerful and keeping them away is not going to help you in any sort of way. And if you run out of them, just use Fire Magic instead, since it is as good if not even more destructive. Things may wary when you apply magic to attacks, because then using Fire Magic in combination with let’s say arrows is a sign of being pure evil, but hey you won’t hear complaining. Not in the least. Not when you could easily beco a walking murder machine thanks to such tactics.
Now, so tactics are way more OP than the others. So of them might eventually get patched. So of them might get you banned. So of them might cause the community to collapse. But does that even matter? What should matter the most is the fact that you are having fun.
All jokes aside, my oh my! Won’t you just look at the ti! We have entered the underwater city in the morning, so I assud that the countdown would also reach zero in the morning. And it just so happens that the seventh day have just started.
The ti for our battle would span from the evening of the seventh day and end in the morning on the eighth day. That’s when the countdown should end. In other words, I expect our battle to last all night long. That way we could all be sure that nothing urgent cos up, as well as ensure that Rei, Rust and Mold would be able to participate without any interruptions. It was truly the best ti ever for so hardcore quest conquest.
The more important matter is the black cardboard box that is right in front of .
「It’s finally here……? No, wait, why the hell is it here in the first place……?」
On that day at the GGC I have t a mysterious person in black hoodie at the food court, a person who claid himself to be an employee of the Gatling Drum company, the manufacturer of Riot Blood. Although I am sure it was nothing more but a polite business opportunity, I ended up with an ‘assortnt of Riot Blood’ being sent to as a thank you for promoting the Riot Blood during the GGC.
But here’s the thing: I do not rember actually sending them my address. But my guess is that Katsu must have leaked so of the info again. Hooray for privacy, right? That, and the fact that it arrived via mail in a pitch-black box made feel so truly nasty occult winds, ones that should have been extinct in this day and age of reason and science. Even though it is the middle of sumr, I shudder as a huge chill runs up my spine.
「Unlimited, Undead, Backdraft, Quantum, Tonight…… Hm?」
Orange can? But if mory serves correctly, Blood Riot does not have any imprints on their cans and they only co in five variants…… Is this a prototype product, or sothing?
「Riot Blood Revolving Lantern……?」
Revolve…… Rotate…… Lantern…… Light…… Running light! Even though it could have been a misprint, no one would ever willingly na their product like that! No matter how you look at that, that’s way too sinister of a na!
Moreover, if you look at the design on the can, the person holding the logo of Riot Blood is a person holding a tal pumpkin-head helt in its right hand and a burning lantern in its left hand. No. No, no, no, no…… It has not even been a week since the end of GGC. Why would they even…… No, no, no, calm down, ! I’m sure that this is just a coincidence. What’s the probability of sothing like that actually being true? Less than one percent, that what it is!
「It’s a free sample, right? …… What’s this? What do we have here?」
“Riot Blood Revolving Lantern is a trial product still in the test phase developed by our company to et the demands of clients who need maximum amount of concentration in short amount of ti. Although its effects are relatively short, lasting for only thirty minutes to one hour, we can guarantee that a boost of energy is going to be so big that not even a sleeping pill will be able to offset its effects. …… Think this is a joke?”
Calm down, my left arm! It is far too early for you to unconsciously try to reach out for my phone and dial a number for Police.
Even though the na of this thing is shady as hell and the caffeine amount is huge enough to knock you off your feet, there is just no way that an officially registered company would produce sothing hazardous to health, right? So calm down, hand off that dial! Don’t you dare to press that ‘connect’ button!
「What about the ingredients……? Oh wow, isn’t the amount of that simply a health hazard? And why are there so few of them? Isn’t it illegal now to conceal so of the ingredients for a stuff like that?」
You may be wondering why am I so wary of a re energy drink? That is because Riot Blood must be consud with utmost care, unless you want to suffer so terrible consequences. It is said that if you mix energy drinks with alcohol you get drunk faster, but when it cos to Riot Blood, the most hardened veterans of alcohol-drinking were downright knocked out cold after mixing their favorite liquors with Riot Blood.
A free samples from a renowned manufacturer…… and consisting of products that are not officially listed on their website to boot. This must an that I am probably the first general consur ever to receive such a thing. I must drink it with utmost care.
「Oh well, for now I might as well give it a try and we’re going to worry about other things later, when we actually have ti to worry about them.」
I am sure that my performance is going to go up significantly for those couple of hours, but the real problem for the future is going to be limited shipping if it turns out to be good.
A few hours later I get my act together and leave the problems of reality in the real world.
Now it was ti for us to log in to ShanFro and go to the palace in the center of the underwater city, where the rest of the Kutanid Extermination Squad should have converged by now. I have also decided to drink that energy drink beforehand, so it should start to kick in into my system soon enough…… Now, I do not know if it was the fault of the Riot Blood Revolving Lantern’s or not, but for so strange reason the edges of my field of view felt sowhat blurry and as if so strange symbols were appearing there from ti to ti.
