Chapter 36: Obtaining a legendary weapon!
Current objective: Obtain a weapon!
Time limit: None
Reward upon completion: Ability to get revenge on the space mantis
Failure penalty: Remain a sad loser and avoid this nemesis of mine forever.
Time to scour this forest! Hum let me see. What should I use?
Part of a giant porcupine monster and make a spear?
Hum I probably shouldn't. Having range is nice. but so what?
I can tank the mantis' attacks with my body. Point is in close range fight I'd probably be better with something else.
Dagger? Sword?
There is always the fist.
But somehow, I can't really get motivated.
Strong pugilists in stories are mostly combat junkies. You know with heaven defying combat sense.
Usually with the nickname of combat god or something.
I'd say because of 2 main reasons.
1) The ability to avoid damage (I don't care about that one at all).
2) The ability to combo moves. (I have no fucking confidence in that area)
I'm the man the training instructor gave up on after a few minutes.
I really don't fit the archetype.
If there is one thing, I've figured out with divine power is that intent is all.
Literally the same exact action with greater conviction gives completely different results.
I need something else.
I'd like a sword or an axe
A sword to dispatch an enemy with a deadly slash.
An axe to annihilate an opponent trough sheer brute force.
I don't really have access to any.
If anything, I could make a dagger from some random mob's fang?
Ah this is sad.
If only I had the mantis bladed arms.
*Sigh*
Wait. I can just get that. That's kinda obvious.
I should probably get some from a rank 2 specimen.
Welp, time to get to work!
****
Rank 2 mantis spotted!
Take this!
*BAM! *
*BAM!*
*pant*
WTF is that mantis!
*BAM! *
*BAM! *
*pant pant*
How is it so tanky ! That's obviously an assassin type monster!
*BAM! *
*BAM! *
*PANT PANT*
Fuck! I give up.
What kind of bullshit is that?!
I take a moment to collect myself.
The mantis is still hacking. Always has been. I don't care.
But how am I supposed to even damage the thing?
Do I need a weapon to get myself a weapon?
It doesn't make sense.
That brings back bad memories.
Like every entry job that requires 5 years of experience.
Or the raid needing gear from said raid dungeon to join. t(-_-t)
*Sigh*
Oh. The mantis tired itself. Alright, take a break you deserve it.
It is not moving at all. On the ground. Now might be a good time to finish it.
Or not. Seriously what the hell is that bug made off? Why is it so ridiculously sturdy?!
Then again that might be what it's thinking of me.
That's what happens when 2 tanks with no damaging ability whatsoever fight each other.
A huge fucking waste of time.
*Sigh*
I need some DPS. If only Wolfie wasn't completely useless.
Well I don't want my only companion to die on me.
Wait! Isn't this forest teeming with free DPS sources?!
MUHAHAHAHAHA ( )
Alright time to pick up the listless monster.
[Here. Let me bring you someplace nice. You'll be able to meet plenty of bug friends.]
Let me walk a bit. Should be around here. I guess it has figured out something because it starts to struggle.
What is the use of being sturdy and fast when you are weak?
Can't get out of my grasp now can you!
Hum, but if I just free it now it will run away.
I need to call the friends first. Let me see. There is one there.
[Hello little ant. No, you are way too weak by yourself. Get more rank 2 buddies and maybe a few rank 3 then come back]
.
*struggle*
There are many giant ants nibbling at me now. Should be enough. Moment of truth!
[Here play together for a while!]
*Throws*
*Shrieks of despair*
It's a fucking bloodbath.
Well a lot of ants are dying at first. Getting sliced in half, or sometimes even more pieces.
I was kinda expecting that outcome a bit. After about 10 giant ants' deaths the mantis finally shows signs of weakening.
It just lost an arm. That's my queue!
*Shuffle closer*
[Sorry, sorry, just passing through! Don't mind me. Keep up the good work!]
So what if I get attacked? I don't care one bit.
*Grab bladed arm*
Time to get away. If I get stuck here, I'm done for. Nice aggro generation soon to be fallen comrade!
The ant death count has reached 15! Nice going! I guess it's ambidexter haha.
And its head just got bitten off. Pretty sure that's fatal.
Yep. TIME TO FUCKING RUN!!!!
****
Legendary sword acquired! Du-du-du-du !
Or not. But I suppose it will do the job. Let me test the sharpness.
Blade versus bush, blade 1 bush 0. Nice!
Blade versus tree, blade 0 tree 0. Not nice. It barely goes in.
Blade versus rock, blade 0 rock 1. Not nice. It chips a tiny bit too.
Blade versus Wolfie.no way I'll test that lol.
But seriously after testing, this new item of mine doesn't appear too strong.
I'm pretty sure the mantis could inflict some damage? At least versus the ants?
It sliced 15 for god's sake!
What is wrong now?
Oh no! Don't fucking tell me it's related to magic. -_-
Could be like the poison frog. Maybe the blades become useless if not attached to the body?
Maybe the mantis is able to use enhancement?
What if I use divine energy?
Circulate it in the sword.
Focus. Sharpest blade in existence.
An ultimate weapon bringing shame to its mythical counterparts.
Able to cleave an archaic tree in half with but a touch.
*Swing*
*CRASH! *
Enhanced blade versus archaic tree.
The cut is smooth.
A big piece of the trunk is simply missing as if removed from this world.
The archaic tree crashes to the ground.
BLADE 10 TREE 0!!!!
ANHILATED HAHA! ( ^_^) v
Wait for me space mantis!
Time for a rematch!
With this legendary sword in hand there is no way in hell I can Lo.... WTF!
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!
I watch dumbfounded as the blade I spent so much effort to get turns into dust.
My legendary sword .
*sob sob*
