Hi! Archivist here,
First, I want sincerely apologizing for the recent delays. I know I haven't been on time on my updates, even I find it unacceptable. So, to keep myself accountable and motivated, If I miss a scheduled update, I will add 5 extra chapters on that day! It's a hard penalty, but it's the best way to make myself scared to not post on time(by time I meant day).
Lastly, here's the update from Wednesday and Friday! Happy readings!
Note: +5-chapter penalty is not yet implemented... We can start on Monday?
...
+1 is all i can do for today...
Chapter 234: Ignite the sea! BOSS Sam's skills are too OP!
Hearing Sam's voice, both Silver Wolf and Kafka couldn't help but glance over.
Both of them, along with Blade, had already been released in the game, and they were quite satisfied with their skill sets and such.
Now, aside from Elio, the last member of the Stellaron Hunters was finally about to make their official debut in the game!
As the battle commenced, the camera gave Sam a full-body close-up.
The greyish-white mecha reflected a metallic sheen. The connections between different sections were seamless and powerful! Lines that exuded strength!
Firefly nodded in approval.
Not bad!
This was exactly Sam.
The in-game recreation was as faithful as ever.
Not a single flaw to pick!
Sam: "The detective game is over. You shouldn't have come here."
After saying this, the battle officially began.
Firefly looked at Silver Wolf and sighed, "You were actually right…"
"The first time appearing officially, and I immediately became a boss in the game."
Silver Wolf, looking like she enjoyed the chaos, teased, "Haha, it's fine. Kafka is also a boss in the game. You two can guard the upper and lower floors of the Memory of Chaos respectively!"
Firefly didn't continue joking with Silver Wolf.
She focused her attention on [ Sam ] in the game.
Other players would definitely identify with the protagonist, but she identified with Sam.
Firefly's gaze froze!
She realized that the weakness attributes on Sam's health bar were greyed out, in a locked state!
At the same time, Little Gui realized this too.
She exclaimed, "Whoa!"
"Sam doesn't have any weaknesses!"
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
After entering the battle, Silver Wolf also became excited!
Especially since the boss this time was Sam!
She couldn't wait to get her hands on the controls and understand Sam's combat mechanics.
Silver Wolf leaned over to Firefly and said, "It's not that there are no weaknesses; they're just locked."
"There must be some mechanism coming up to unlock the weaknesses."
Firefly glanced at Silver Wolf, thinking, "Do you know Sam, or do I know Sam?"
It seemed that she hadn't activated any special state yet.
The firepower systems weren't even engaged.
If it were her…
She would probably say something cool when activating [ Secondary Combustion ], right?
As it turned out, Silver Wolf understood the game.
And Firefly understood Sam.
After the player's first round of attacks, it was Sam's turn.
A direct close-up of the face!
A flash of blue light.
The right hand was placed in front of the chest.
Fierce flames ignited on both shoulders.
As the arm swung forward, a violent fire tornado spread outward with Sam at the center!
"I will—"
"Set the seas ablaze!"
A circle of flames instantly ignited around the battlefield. Traces of fire remained on the floor.
Firefly and Silver Wolf were both stunned.
Silver Wolf thought to herself, "Even fighting in Sam's form, isn't this line a bit too chuunibyou?"
But Firefly's gaze intensified!
"This line…"
"SO COOL!!!"
Silver Wolf: "…"
At this moment, Sam had exposed the Lightning, Quantum, and Imaginary weaknesses.
Violent flames were burning on the chest and arms. Coupled with the surrounding environment, it felt like everything was on fire!
Of course, this was just Firefly's personal feeling.
For Little Gui standing opposite Sam and the viewers in the livestream, it was completely different!
Seeing this special effect, Little Gui's mouth went dry.
"Oh my god!"
"This sense of oppression is so strong!"
A prompt appeared on the interface—
[ Consume skill points to attack Sam or break the weakness to force Sam to exit [Secondary Combustion]! ]
Guinaifen noticed that the skill point area had been dyed the color of flames.
It looked as if using a skill point would get you burned!
Suddenly, Sam leaped from the spot!
The leg armor deployed thrusters, and Sam delivered a flying kick straight at Imbibitor Lunae in the middle of the team!
Flames concentrated on this strike.
It exploded instantly.
…
"Holy crap! This attack?"
"It's an enemy, but Sam is really cool, hey!"
"That kick looks painful."
"I feel like Sam is Imbibitor Lunae's exclusive boss, both in voice and attributes."
"Dan Heng: Setting aside the fighting, what do you mean by kicking me in the face?"
"Dan Heng: I will, tear through the heart's ocean!"
…
At this point, the screen cut to a close-up of Sam again.
With that cold, mechanical voice, Sam said, "When you return to reality, remember to tell everyone—"
"It was the Stellaron Hunters who saw you off on your final journey."
After speaking, Sam crouched down.
Accompanied by a massive wave of fire that shot into the sky!
Reaching the peak, a perfect side drift.
Moved to the opposite trajectory.
Tracing a scorching arc of fire in the air!
And then dove downwards!
Like a meteorite falling from the sky!
And in fact, it seemed much faster than a meteorite!
The speed skyrocketed again!
Directly breaking the sound barrier!
Forming trails of accompanying fire pillars in the surroundings!
Before landing, Sam raised a fist.
Striking toward the target on the ground.
"BOOM!!!!!!!"
White light filled the screen.
The flames seemed as if they were about to burst out of the game!
Then, the flames condensed together, forming a violent fire tornado!
Guinaifen was completely dumbfounded!
THE VISUAL IMPACT OF THIS ATTACK WAS TOO STRONG!!!
IT FELT LIKE A SINGLE PUNCH COULD BLOW UP A PLANET!!!
…
"Destroying the world!"
"This strike pierces the stars!"
"Cool!"
"The sense of power is too strong!"
"Who's the villain here, exactly?"
"This guy is too fierce, right?"
"Sam, get into the gacha pool immediately!"
"I feel like he really can set the seas ablaze!"
"Sam: Taking disciples!"
…
Astral Express.
In front of the screen.
March 7th, Stelle, Himeko, and Welt all had their faces dyed a layer of red.
Those who didn't know would think the Express crew was enjoying the sunset together.
But the reality was, Sam in the game had used their ultimate.
The intense flame effect dyed everyone in front of the screen a fiery red.
March 7th recovered from her stunned state.
She asked in disbelief:
"Sister Himeko…"
"You're telling me this is Firefly?!"
"This, this, this…"
"The contrast is too huge, right?"
"Does the personality change drastically after putting on the mecha?"
Himeko didn't know what to say for a moment.
Indeed!
The difference was a bit too big!
It was completely two extremes.
Although a lot of the previous evidence pointed to this, it was… really hard to imagine Firefly was the one in control inside the mecha!
Either all the previous deductions were wrong, or in the game before them, what Firefly showed was simply her pure and harmless side.
Anyway…
Let's keep watching and see!
"Mr. Yang, what do you think?"
March 7th looked at Welt beside her.
Welt had been sitting there calmly and relaxed watching the plot.
At this moment, his expression became solemn.
He adjusted his glasses.
Sat up straight.
It was as if he hadn't even heard March 7th's question.
March 7th was a little surprised.
She whispered to Stelle, "Rarely do I see Mr. Yang looking so threatened?"
"It seems he really takes this enemy, Sam, seriously!"
At this moment, Welt suddenly let out a long sigh.
Just when everyone thought Welt was about to make some insightful conclusion.
The eyes behind Welt's lenses were actually sparkling!
"This mecha… is so cool!"
"This fighting style, cool!"
"These skills, cool!"
March 7th was stunned.
"Mr. Yang, listen to what you're saying!"
"How can you praise the enemy in front of your own people!"
"Are you okay?"
"Whoever you are, get out of Mr. Yang's body immediately!"
