Chapter 214: Reaching the Heavens Part 20 Part 2
On the other hand, sotis the best thod of making sothing stand out is to simply make it not stand out so much. That is why moderation is the key to success more often than not. Especially when video gas are concerned.
I don’t know if the rest of the world caught on on the fact, but us Japanese people, we really cannot pass by the poor puppy left in a cardboard box during the rain. That’s our national trait.
「HUMANS, YOU HAVE CLEARLY DISPLAYED THINE STRENGTH TO . AS A REWARD, I SHALL AID YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY.」
「Oh yeah! Rewards ti!」
The magic circle that erged from Kutanid started to morph and change shape, splitting from one into eight more, from which eight lights shone brightly right in front every single one of us.
Each light shone with different color, representing the colors of the chalices that we managed to destroy so ti ago. By that fact alone, I was already having ideas about the nature of the rewards we were going to receive.
「MY EIGHT BRILLIANCES, I SHALL BESTOW UPON THEE A FRAGNT OF MY POWERS.」
「Huh? Only one power out of eight?」
Sohow, I get a feeling that we are going to get scamd here. But no, it couldn’t be, right?
Surprisingly, I was really worried about those eight lights that kept on rotating in between us players and NPCs for a while. However, once the lights ca to a stop the proper item description windows popped out, so it seems that I won’t have to leave that choice up to chance.
But I could be sure that if I happened to get sothing for my Tatical War Beasts, it would not be sothing that was too OP. The developers surely would not want the players to have a mount that would rival Wezaemon’s Kirin in power.
Short range, long range, physical skill, magic skill, gender, visibility, damage power, various statistics. If we truly were to get an item that would invers any of those at will, the value of such an item would truly be unimaginable.
With an item that would allow to swap my stats, even soone like could beco a magnificent tank: I would only need to switch my Luck with Vitality. And if I were to increase my MP, I could even try to beco a magician of sorts.
And even if I was to not receive such an item, there is always a chance that I would be able to get one of the range items. That would always allow to save my ass at the last possible second if I were to use the short range negation, or to really ss up the enemies’ ranks with long range negation. But let’s just not get ahead of ourselves too much there.
However, I am also sure that everyone thought that at so point: ‘There can only be one’.
But Japanese people are prim and proper in public, without fail. Even of they do not voice their concerns out loud, they must surely think about them inside of their minds. After all, there are eight lights, but maybe just one of them contains the equivalent of a grand prize.
That is why soone had to step up their ga and say sothing here.
「Hey, there, Mister Octopus! Can’t you make it three gifts instead of one!?」
「Uwooh, hey!」
I an, I should have expected Akitsu Akane to speak up, but honestly, I never would have thought that Akitsu Akane would speak up.
Or not. More than anything I would like to ask where did he found so much courage to speak up in a situation like that, but before I could do that he already spoke up to Kutanid directly.
「………」
「It doesn’t have to be three! At least make that two!」
「Akitsu Akane, you…… Since when did you grow such balls?」
We were at each other’s throats not so long ago, I understand that. But it is exactly because we were able to overco such trendous of a challenge that we can bargain with this guy. However, since that thing was not a living being, only an AI, it was bound to act only with certain patters, so it should not be suspicious.
Seriously man, what the hell is your deal here? Is this that famous kind of bravado? The sa that allowed you to face against Seigwurm?
All of a sudden, there is a long and awkward silence dominating the room. The players must have felt that it was simply atrocious of to make such a request. And the NPC must have thought that it was simply atrocious of to talk like that to a being that was equivalent to a God in their understanding.
However, Kutanid continued to spin as the magic circle in complete silence, watching us. No way, there’s just no way. There is no way in hell that you get to haggle with a Unique Monster, since it should be resistant to sothing like that. And that’s beside the point that this request was unreasonable to begin with.
「VERY WELL. TWO IT SHALL BE.」
Was that a critical success at negotiation? Or was it simply a lie?
「Alright, aweso! Thank you, Mister Octopus! You are the best!」
「You have got to be fucking SH*TTING !?」
See that? This is sothing that no skill will be able to give you. This is a one of a kind combination of both luck and natural talent!
This one of those things that only certain gars possess, sothing that makes other gars go red with jealousy and shout: How the fuck di you manage to do this!?
That type of gar that manages to find hidden OP items by breaking a specific wall, doing a specific “action”, wearing a specific equipnt or simply because of being at the specific place at the specific ti.
I did not think that I would be able to witness such a mont with my own eyes, but Akitsu Akane, man…… Talk about scary!
「No, I didn’t think it would agree on doing this so easily, and to such an extent…… What can I say here……? Yeah……」
「Oh yes! Sanraku-san tried that technique once with Luka…… Luukan, was it? I rember that clearly! He tried talking to Luukan!」
Yes, I did try that once in the past. Although the result was quite different in my case, to say the least.
I can see that the people turn their gazes towards , but I guess seeing the wolf’s marking all over my torso and legs was quite enough of an answer for everyone present at how did it turn out.
It was my fault that I started complaining, but I guess I should be happy that I got off the hook with that I got. Because he could have made it a lot more troubleso for if he wanted to. Talk about unforgiving bastard……
I must thank Luukan soday, but for the ti being I turn towards the light that was right in front of .
If we can take two items, then please don’t mind if I do. I will take this, and…… Oh, and this.
I did not really think that negotiations like that would work, but there was a part of that was actually kind of sad that the quest was now over…… Wait a minute.
「Did sothing, happen?」
Suddenly, I notice.
「Hey…… There should have been an announcent just now…… One about defeating the Unique Monster…… Did anyone of you heard that?」
「…… Announcent?」
Rust, Mold and Akitsu Akane all looked as though there were question marks flying above their heads. However, Rei seed to remain calm, since she was all familiar with the announcent system of ShanFro already. The two of us understand what it all ans.
I put all of my remaining strength into my weak body, and then I surveil the whole area, my body being wary all the ti. I wonder if other also felt as though sothing in here was seriously wrong all of a sudden.
It was at that mont.
SWOOSH! And in the next mont,
“Blue” starts to wriggle around.
