ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

g to blame her.
At that moment she was the only one at the frontline, and she gave it everything she had.
And honestly, if so many tentacles appeared seemingly out of thin air right in front of you, everyone would be scared.
Even I.
If anything, we should all praise Rei for not getting scared and backing away.

「Alright, for starters, let’s all assess how worn out both our weapons and armor are.」

「…… The magic bow is approaching its limit.
I estimate that I can fire twenty more shots out of it at best.」

「If I limit myself to Rust alone, I can cast my buffs several more times.」

Mold and Rust are approaching their limits…… It’s possible that they did not prepare for this all too well because they were returning to the game and were a little bit rusty.

「What about you, Akitsu Akane?」

「Umm, let’s see…… I can only use my Hidden Blade Jutsu from now on…… I am truly sorry for being so useless!」

「It’s not that anyone here is angry with you or is blaming you for anything.
For now, tell us more about your equipment situation, so we might know what’s going on.」

「Right! I have used up all of my recovery items and the only real projectile I have left on me is my Dragon’s Breath.」

「I see…… You see, Akitsu Akane, I won’t lie to you.
Both Rei and I have used up our trump cards.
To makes matters worse, Rei’s equipment got demolished as a result of her using her trump card, and I have burned out of my healing items in order to patch myself up.」

「D-Doesn’t that mean that we are all in quite a pinch right now……?」

「Yes, quite a pinch indeed.
I still have some firepower left up my sleeve, but right here right now…… Akitsu Akane, you may be the one who possesses the highest battle potential out of all of us.」

「W-Who, me!? Really!?」

「Easy there, and calm yourself down.
Alright, now take a couple of deep breaths…… Okay, have you calmed down? You must have, right? Right, so right now I want you to think, think long and hard.
About your trump card.
You must have one, right? And it should be quite powerful right about now, since you must have leveled up quite a bit after that battle with Luukan, right? Your trump card.」

「I-I think that you try to put way too much responsibility on my poor little shoulders here!」

That’s right, the amount of responsibility resting on your shoulders will be quite heavy.
Maybe even so heavy that it might end up breaking you to pieces.

As far as NPCs are concerned, it’s just what you would expect.
The only exception here was Alva, because it turned out that his sword was some sort of a special weapon, one that you could use MP on in order to recover its lost durability.

Right about now, all of the players (me included) were looking at Nereis with a really sloppy eyes.
It would certainly be nice to possess a weapon like that.

And finally, there was Rei who was so down in the dumps that it was actually hard to look at her.
I have never before seen her being so depressed.

「So…… how are you feeling?」

…… It might sound harsh coming from me, but right now in her current state, Rei was nothing more but a dead weight to us.

Not to mention that she had suffered a penalty for failing to meet Armageddon’s conditions.
With her equipment in shambles like that, Rei’s stats plummeted down all across the board, and the worse part was that right now she was unable to change her equipment into something else.
