Golden Experience

302: ThoseWarmHands

Has anyone heard the news from the NPC clergy?

303: Healthyunpeelable

There’s no clergy in the Old Hiers Capital.

What’s going on?

304: Wayne

When you say clergy, do you mean someone like a pastor or a priest of the Holy Church?

Was there some kind of oracle or something again?

305: Gi1gamesh

An oracle?

306: Wayne

During the last event, the prime minister told me that the information about the birth of the seventh disaster of the event boss was brought to him by some guy who was the Archbishop of the Holy Church of Hiers.

I think the clergy in this game are supposed to convey the management’s announcements to the NPCs like that.

307: Gi1gamesh

Oh, that.

Well, it’s not exactly an announcement of the birth of a calamity or anything, since it wasn’t announced by the devs.

308: MentaList

If you want to get in-game information, you should get in-game information, right?

309: ThoseWarmHands

Um, I’m active in Shape, and the Shape Holy Church and the Shape government have jointly notified the city.

The content of the notice is “An enemy of mankind has been born”.

310: Healthyunpeelable

Now that’s information! What you are talking about?

311: CountryPop

You say, “It’s happened before”.

Doesn’t that mean an “eighth” was born?

312: Wayne

You don’t mean the Archangel, do you?

313: MentaList

The Archangel is already counted among the 6 initial great calamities.

314: ThoseWarmHands

The location is said to be in the former Hiers territory, a place called Tore Forest.

315: Healthyunpeelable

Hiers again! I mean, where is it?

316: Wayne

When you say Tore Forest, is that the forest a little north of the Liebe Great Forest?

It’s a 5* dungeon, as I recall.

317: Amatein

I thought you said that the Prime Minister was unsure if this calamity, the 8th, was related to the 7th?

I think Wayne told me that the 7th is mainly about undead and insects, but the town near the forest was reported to have been swallowed by trees or something like that.

318: MentaList

I think the eighth must be a plant-manipulating-type calamity then.

If it was already enough to swallow the city at the last event, did it grow up to become a disaster this time because no one did anything about it?

319: Gi1gamesh

I don’t know if that’s possible.

Then Neuschloss is in trouble, too, isn’t it?

I don’t think it has anything to do with the 7th or the 8th, either. And the monsters that appear there are goblins or something.

Maybe this time, or maybe next time it will be the ninth or something.

320: Amatein

Not out of the realm of possibility, but even if it were, there’s nothing we can do about it.

321: Takuma

If it’s the boss of Neuschloss, it’s been defeated once.

After that, it was just a normal resurrection.

But he looked even worse afterwards.

322: Gi1gamesh

Is that possible?

I don’t know if that’s possible, I mean, come to think of it, we’ve seen it with our own eyes.

The last time we killed a calamity, it was immediately followed by the same resurrected and powered-up calamity and it killed us in a snap.

323: MentaList

I see.

Maybe that’s how certain bosses are supposed to do it.

If you don’t defeat them after fulfilling some conditions, they may be revived after being powered up.

324: Amatein

Not impossible.

It’s also possible that this eighth could have turned into a disaster level creature with that pattern.

If so, I wonder who took it down.

If no one defeated it, I don’t think it will be revived with a power-up.

325: Healthyunpeelable

You know who’s the strongest candidate

326: Wayne

Is it the seventh…

327: MentaList

Ahh. I get it, there was a potentially powerful entity in your own garden other than itself, so it tried to eliminate it.

328: Gi1gamesh

You could say that as a result, it helped its opponent grow up.

329: Takuma

NPCs do that on their own?

330: MentaList

I’m not saying it’s self-explanatory, but it can be explained by the simple routine of attacking everything that’s not your own forces.

That’s what even the angel has been doing.

331: Healthyunpeelable

Yes, that’s true about the angels.

So the angels and the seventh are in conflict after all?

332: Wayne.

Oh, I forgot to mention that it sounds like a conflict.

The Bone Dragon was shooting down angels in Erntal.

333: Healthyunpeelable

Seriously! That’s good!

334: Gi1gamesh

I wonder if we can say it’s okay.

If you’re not careful, it could be a three-way fight between the Eighth, the Seventh and the Archangel.

335: ThoseWarmHands

Um, please include the human race in there and make it a four-way fight.

411: Healthyunpeelable

Angels and bees are fighting in the sky above the Hiers capital? Is this finally the calamity vs. calamity flag?

412: White Seaweed

It seems like it’s happening again in the airspace above La Colinne since the last attack.

413: Healthyunpeelable

Just say the important things like that!

414: Lyewarehouse (T/N: 蔵灰汁)

Maybe because there are no insect-type creatures in the capital. Undead can’t fly, so they dispatch flying forces from the forest. Perhaps the clashes with angels in the capital were delayed.

415: MentaList

>>414

Undead can’t fly? Since when was that the assumption?

416: Gi1gamesh

There are flying undead in Erntal.

417: CountryPop

Erntal? Could it be that bone dragon? Can it fly?

418: Nameless Elf

Can it?

419: Wayne

Didn’t I mention it the other day? It was flying. Not attacking or anything, just flying. The angel crashed into it on its own and fell due to its mysterious passive area damage.

420: Nameless Elf

Can it really fly…

421: Haruka

If it can fly, what about melee classes?

422: Wayne

I saw a red skeleton running in the air once before. Maybe it has skills or abilities like that.

423: Lamp

Even if it did, what if it’s impossible unless it loses weight like a skeleton?

424: Kurumi

You’re good at dieting, right? You’ve done it several times in real life.

425: MentaList

Well, that’s…

426: Gi1gamesh

Well, it usually lies on the ground, and it doesn’t necessarily have to fly to fight. We’ve seen it fight on the ground when not facing angels.

427: Nameless Elf

Oh, you tried challenging it. How was it?

428: Wayne

Well, it was so-so. The passive area damage can’t be blocked by armor, and even if you’re an angel, just approaching it causes damage. It’s probably impossible in a prolonged battle. I could inflict some wounds, but I don’t know how much life it has.

429: Gi1gamesh

I don’t know if a boss monster of that size has natural LP recovery, but when I challenged it the second time, the wounds I inflicted last time were gone. It probably does have it. Considering that, the pace of damage we deal is not nearly enough. Even if there were ten times more attackers, we’d just die in a prolonged battle.

430: MentaList

Anyway, I’ve takes notes on its normal behavior patterns, so if we organize a raid, we might be able to make some progress. I wonder how many would come if we recruit.

431: Healthyunpeelable

I feel like going, but in the beginning, it would just be dying and increasing pattern notes. Moreover, with the possibility of a battle of calamities, it’s not advisable to do much during the event.

432: CountryPop

But once the event ends, death penalties will be back on. Now is the only time to do it. However, being occupied with something unrelated to the event is also…

I’ve never ranked high in events before, and this time I’m trying a bit harder. Protecting the people in the town.

433: Healthyunpeelable

There are knights in the town, so you won’t be able to do much.

434: Nameless Elf

There are no knight orders in the recently increased outpost towns in Hiers, so you can act as you please. Well, considering it’s a newly established town, there are people in the town who were originally strong, and NPC-like vigilantes.

435: MentaList

Recruiting now might not be the best idea. In any case, we’ve already moved from Erntal and are in the Hiers capital.

436: Healthyunpeelable

True, right? I felt like I saw you guys in the capital.

437: Wayne

I don’t know where CountryPop is putting in effort, but judging by the situation of this wave, earning points by defeating angels in Hiers seems impossible. The insects in the sky will probably take care of the area.

438: Crack

Hey, did you see that guy fighting angels in the sky!

439: Healthyunpeelable

An insect, right? I’m watching.

440: Crack

No, not that! Well, that too!

Where are you guys? Look at the sky in the Hiers capital!

441: Wayne

…What is that?

442: Healthyunpeelable

There’s something dangerous! What is that, a dragon!?

443: MentaList

It’s not bones. It has flesh.

444: Gi1gamesh

Don’t say it’s like meat in a bone lol.

It has two heads.

It’s a different species from the one in Erntal.

445: Lyewarehouse

It’s fighting the angels in collaboration with the insects.

So it’s the seventh’s pawn.

There’s one like that?

446: MentaList

Rather, that seems more like a disaster-level creature itself. The Seventh initially appeared clad in armor, and its second form looked like an angel, so there’s a possibility that it’s the third form, although not impossible.

447: Wayne

No, that’s not it. People with enhanced vision might see it, but that dragon is holding something like armor in its hand. That armor is carrying the Seventh.

448: Lyewarehouse

So it’s the seventh’s pawn after all…

449: Healthyunpeelable

What is the Archangel doing!

450: MentaList

By the way, if a card with Archangel vs. Seventh is drawn, which side would Healthyunpeelable support?

451: Healthyunpeelable

The one with bigger boobs

452: Wayne

>>451

In that case, probably the Archangel. Although I haven’t seen it yet.

453: Gi1gamesh

True. Well, I haven’t seen the Archangel either.

510: Alonson

In countries other than Hiers, NPC discussions often revolve around the Eighth and angels, but there’s no follow-up on the Eighth, especially related to the angels.

511: Nameless Elf

Could it be that it’s not coming out from the Tore Forest?

512: Healthyunpeelable

Someone, go check. There’s no death penalty now, so if you’re going to go, now’s the only chance.

513: CountryPop

You go, lol.

514: Healthyunpeelable

I have a duty to witness the battle of calamities in the capital.

515: Warehouse Ash Soup

It’s not certain that it will happen in the capital. For example, there’s a possibility that the Seventh or Archangel might go to the Tore Forest to defeat the Eighth from now on.

516: Healthyunpeelable

Aaaah!

517: Amatein

In any case, the Holy Church often holds speeches in the city, stirring up a sense of crisis with the continuous appearance of enemies to humanity. However, there doesn’t seem to be much effort from the country to deal with it. Is it the same in other countries?

518: Yoichi

Aural also had warnings from the Holy Church on the first day. However, here, we shifted towards cooperating with the knights to calm the citizens down. The Tore Forest is far, so things won’t be resolved quickly.

519: Monkey Dive Sasuke

Maybe it’s a difference in national character. Humans are generally weak. Even though there are many of them, unlike Dwarves and Elves, who can fight individually, humans can’t survive without uniting in times of crisis.

520: Nameless Elf

What about Wells?

521: Beam-chan

Wells is in the middle, I guess. The Holy Church made a fuss at first, but here too, it was only for the first day or two, and from then on, it seemed to settle down. Anyway, it’s not about a new calamity; the Holy Church and the Knights here…

522: Crack

Oh, I saw that in some thread. The descent of the Holy Maiden or something.

523: Monmon

That’s right. She’s blindfolded, so you can’t see her face completely, but even so, she’s so beautiful that you can just tell.

524: Farm

She’s unfair. It’s not just blond; it’s like a beautiful shade of platinum blond. I wanted to create my character with that hair color, but I gave up because I couldn’t do it in character creation. Probably an impossible color for players. Can they add it with microtransactions?

525: Crack

Is the Holy Maiden blindfolded? I wonder if it won’t be regulated. Depending on the connection IP, the blindfold might be removed, and the mouth might be closed.

526: Beam-chan

There are cases where the blindfold remains as it is. Instead, the chest might be made smaller.

527: Monmon

What are you talking about?

528: Beam-chan

Anyway, the Holy Maiden has appeared, and she’s mowing down angels left and right. The topic is dominating Wells’ capital.

529: Hasera

Players in unrelated cities are also gathering in the capital to see the Holy Maiden. Like me.

530: Gi1gamesh

Well, honestly, fighting angels is not exactly fun in a visual sense.

531: CountryPop

Eh?

532: MentaList

>>531

^ This guy right here, officer

533: Alonson

Last time, if I remember correctly, the city was already destroyed the day after the church started making noise, right? Considering that, the Eighth seems quite quiet, or rather, inactive.

534: Amatein

That’s right. Just because they’re both calamities doesn’t mean they get along, as seen in the conflict between angels and insects. If the Eighth rampages in Hiers, the Seventh won’t stay silent about it.

535: Crack

Maybe the Seventh is already depressed. The result might be the birth of the Eighth, as mentioned above.

536: MentaList

The Seventh is a deeply connected opponent, with players and NPCs teaming up to defeat it. Making it the main boss and having the Eighth as a subordinate is not unthinkable.

537: CountryPop

…Someone, go check the situation in Tore Forest!

538: Healthyunpeelable

I really want to go and see, but the outpost towns around the capital are not technically cities, so there’s no teleportation spot. The closest one from here is probably the town of Rifure. It’s a bit troublesome.
