Golden Experience

Episode 218: Snake King Awakening

It's been a day since I secured Stanislav.

I haven't heard from Bran yet.

I was going to report the results of the experiment when I heard from you, but I'm not going to bother to let you know.

It's about Bran. If you do that, you'll fly away at anything. And it induces the cold gaze of the daughters of Ristrugones.

If there's anything else to do, we should clear you up first.

So I decided that Rare should do something else first.

The first step is to acquire new skills, including 'Heavenly Drive'.

Too many things have been done in the last few days, so I don't know what triggered it at the earliest, but we'll have to get it when it's unlocked.

I naturally acquired "Sky Drive".

Being able to step in the air is very significant.

It is unclear whether there is a chance of literal combat at close range, as aerial warfare tends to be faster, but it is preferable to have more options.

Generally speaking, speed and altitude are key to determining combat power if it is an aerial battle. But it is a world in which the power of attack fluctuates more by talent and skill than by mass, and it is not necessarily true.

It is also appreciated that evasive actions can be taken only with the footrest from a stationary state in the air.

There was also something unlocked in the 'This is Blessing and Curse' tree. This tree is a cursed skill tree that cannot be changed with skill activation keys, but for now it is only passive so I don't mind.

Unlocked was the passive skill of "Hunger is (Multa) Teaching Many Things (docet) (fames.)," the effect of which was "bonus to INT as the fullness gauge decreases".

In other words, it is a skill that gets smarter when you get hungry, and it is as the name suggests. No, that's not what I meant to say, but it's easy to understand as the effect of gaming skills.

The INT bonus becomes a negative percentage when you are full, but the point is, it seems that your thoughts are a little dull when you are full. It is rare to have a full stomach condition even immediately after a meal, and there are no disadvantages if you keep your stomach down by eight minutes at all times during the meal.

Once you get this too, you won't be able to turn it off again, but overall, you decided that the benefits were the bigger skill and acquired it.

"Maybe this, 'cooking' was the unlock condition"

Passive Skills that benefit from being hungry should make those who earn them as hungry as possible. Hungry is sometimes said to be the biggest condiment, meaning you can always eat delicious food.

No, eating it attenuates the effect. It's nice to be able to eat good rice, but you can't eat it. I couldn't.

I don't know if there's a synergy or not.

Then there was another skill available in this tree: 'Animo distributes his mind (imperabit), (sapiens,) Fools are (stultus) slaves (serviet.)'.

This was rarely an active skill.

And there's a lot of experience to get, and the cost at activation is very heavy. When activated, both LP and MP seem to consume as much as 40% of each, not a fixed value. It's a pattern I haven't seen much of before. And it's a specification that I'm not happy with for Rae, where they're practically in a shared state.

Given the risk of reduced LP, it would only be used once, even during a single battle.

This word must be pronounced in its entirety when using a skill, as the Activation Key cannot be changed. It can be said to be very troublesome.

But that's all it does.

The effect was to "make all characters under the influence of their own activated buffs or debuffs dominated".

I don't know, I feel subtly different from what I was supposed to say, but that's enough.

Combined with range-type buffs and debuffs, 'dominance' can be released in a wide range of ways at once.

Resistance is not determined when this skill is activated. Under the influence of Buffs and Debuffs, you can 'rule' without asking questions.

Debuffs, anyway, many don't resist if they are buffs.

But if you suddenly buff or something against a hostile opponent, you should naturally be alert.

Speaking of situations that are likely to be effectively utilized, for example, if you are temporarily fighting someone, pretend to be supportive and apply a buff, and then activate and betray "the wise man controls the mind and the fool subordinates" the moment it becomes effective.

In several cases, for example, it is supposed to be ostensibly hostile to Lyla and Blanc. In such cases, small work cannot be done against third parties who are disturbed.

I shall take it into account as one of the possibilities at once.

A little high skill, but there is no danger if you just acquire it because it is not passive. I also got this.

"Uh...? Animo Impeller Bito Sapiens, Sturtus Cervieto......? Can you remember this? Somehow, this tree's skills are either hard to use or risky. It's a blessing and a curse, rather than a blessing or a curse."

I naturally don't get the 'spawning division' that was otherwise unlocked.

I have acquired a few things other than the active skill of Swordsmanship that may be effective. Passive ability to gain bonuses when attacking with a sword, ability to reduce damage when defending with a sword, and ability to gain bonuses for success.

Are the 'threads' also a tree? There are springy and stretchy threads. Spider warp and weft? I'll keep this one. Oh, there's something called "Yarn Slashing"! I wonder if it's because of the characteristic "sword."

The Tarantellas and Queen Araknea didn't have the Thread Slasher. Given the difference between them and Rare, there's probably something to do with their traits.

It is believed to be a newly unlocked attribute due to the addition of a slash attribute to the attack attribute by bare hands and the like.

"Um, 'Liberation: yarn' and... It doesn't look different, but the thread doesn't come out of your fingertips. Isn't it a wrist? Sugar was like a palm. Anywhere."

Thin threads are secreted from the gap between the nails.

The fineness of the yarn does not seem to change, so if you want to use thick yarn, you have to lean against each other.

When I borrowed Queen Araknea's body, it felt like it was thicker. It seems that the thickness of the yarn produced by the inner diameter of the thread discharge pipe is different.

In other words, if the giant is turned on, thick yarn can also be secreted.

"But the strength of the yarn seems to be more influenced by the DEX numbers and the effects of other skills than the thickness, and I don't know if I mind staying thin." Thread slashing "is... Wow, sorry!"

I shook it gently and tore off the armor of Miss Lilgolem Adamas Shroud, who was waiting nearby.

His armor should naturally be the same strength as Adamas's.

This' slashing yarn 'has not turned on' rigid steel '. The strength should now be lower than Adamas, if it were meant to be.

"... I wonder if the effect of the skill or the difference in talent. Same as the Knights of Portley did to Uluru with a lower ranked weapon. I guess."

He continued his verification while skipping 'Recovery' to Mithril Golem.

The armor of the Mithrill Golem is his trait, so if you restore LP, it will be undone.

If it does enough damage to cause a site destruction determination, such as cutting off the arm area, I will have to use regenerative potions, etc., or kill it once to make it squirrel, but to this extent, it is fine.

I need to get used to manipulating the yarn, but I don't think I'll be able to fight around it.

There may be cases where the wings may be disturbed and difficult to move, but it is also possible to keep them in place now.

Blanc finally contacted me after a while of combat training against Lyla's Abigail in Torre's Forest Square.

Looks like we've taken control of Zastava's next city.

The city is not to say La Colline, but it seems to be about the size of Erntar, with a city of crops and other crops that are harvested in the small towns around it that are regularly opened and stockpiles of supplies for events.

As I advised, I suppressed only the most critical cities.

The name of the city that turned residents into vampires and interviewed them turned out to be Kaniates.

That's why I'm going now!

I don't mind coming now, but Bran can't come here directly.

Whether you're going to warp around Ernthal and fly out of there, or you're going to warp into the city of Rifle and transfer from there to a safety area near Tre Forest.

Either way, it'll take a little longer.

In the meantime, I decided to contact Lyla.

I don't know if I'm interested in transformative heroes, but I'm likely to show interest in Phantoms.

"Heh. So you're saying that if I could get that" perverted "trait, I could pretend to be a human too? Maybe it's because Rae's wings are missing."

"Well, yeah. Lyla's a little pointy, like me, but she's not as concerned."

"If I knew sooner, I wouldn't have to substitute... no, I can't. After all, it's inconvenient for me to" use "her as a player, and it's troublesome for me to be on the front with the same face as Rare."

"Did you end up being a substitute?"

"That's right. It was also necessary to 'serve' a player named Justine. At first, I was thinking about grabbing someone in the city, but I felt it would be quicker to promote a female knight who was already under my command, so I appropriately took a look at the brunette and reincarnated her into Noble and renamed her."

"Can you rename it?

"Even Rare has a name for his men, right? Same as that. I can only be named once, but it doesn't seem to matter if there is an existing name at that time. So when you name a race that has a human race or something, it's usually a rename."

Well, I didn't know because I hadn't thought much about it.

Lyla has far more human relatives than Rae.

I guess the verification against them is progressing for that matter.

"By the way, players can be partially renamed under certain conditions. I also got a message about what to do with my surname when I was appointed lord of the Hugel Cup to King Oral. I didn't need it, so I left it on."

Some players give names that even have surnames.

So, for example, if Monkey Dive Saskatchewan became the lord of the Hugel Cup, would it become the Monkey Dive Saskatchewan Hugel Cup?

"Well, I don't care about the understudy. I want a" pervert, "too, what am I supposed to do?

Um, first of all, we need a species with traits called "perverts." I used a species called Queen Aslapada. Look, it's the same as Sugar over there. But the first transformation hero I found, Hydeo, seems to have used a hundred of them. "

"Funkologashi...! Such obsession....."

"Really. If Lyla wants to do the same, she'll be waiting for you, so why don't you pick up some bugs there?"

"I won't. What should I do? What does Rare look like?

"If you insist, is it spider? I won't show you."

Spider system means it looks like arachne? I see.... ah "

"What? I'm really curious."

"No, remember a little of our country's specialties. Do you have to live with that material?

"I don't know. Stanislav?"

"Ha. Seems like you need to live if you use demons or something, but Funkologashi seemed to have no problem with being a corpse"

Then maybe normal insects are still treated close to the item.

I'm just saying that material items with that kind of property are just living and moving.

"I see... Hmm. It's a little delicate, so just in case, I'll get you a fresh one. Just a moment."

That said, Lila disappeared somewhere.

Unlike Blanc, Lyla has a family member, Abigor, on this occasion. It's a moment to come back.

Has it been about 30 minutes since I felt the symptoms?

When I turned on the Deva Steel and the giant body, it looked like a giant metal statue ─ ─ However, the upper body was still grown from the forehead of the statue ─ ─ and the time was crushed, so Lyla returned. Bran hasn't come yet.

"I'm home. ─ ─ What was that? Great Buddha?"

"At least say Statue of Liberty. What more have you done than that?

"I bought this! I got you. You're so picky!

The large basket that Lyla had brought was filled with countless eels, and was soaking wet.

"Wow, that's a eel! I've never seen it before!

"Isn't it? This is one of the Oral specialties. Well, I'm not in trade or anything because I'm fast on my feet. I think it's a local flavor. I'm already on the red list in real life, so I won't get a chance to eat the real thing. I eat it once in a while in the game, but the one I opened and baked was delicious. I sliced it up, boiled it down, and it was cold, and it sucked."

However, neither the main staff who developed the game nor the development AI that would have been taught by the staff know the taste of eels that cannot already be eaten properly.

For example, if I ate an eel here, would that really taste like an eel? Wouldn't they be fooled and fed snakes or something?

"Well, okay. I'm not eating. So, you're gonna punch this? You want to null?

"I don't care about that. Well, I don't know because it's a real, unusual fish, but eels and anals are perverts. It's called leptokephalus larvae. When I was a kid, I wanted a clear, flat fish."

"Heh!"

I didn't know there were organisms that perverted other than arthropods and amphibians. It's an endangered species, so I can't help it.

"By the way, sea urchins are also perverted. I gave up because you don't get too much Oral."

"Really!?

"Did you start with Plankton? The name is Pluteus pubescens. When this grows to a certain extent and eight arms grow, when you take in the ingredients called glyceroglycolipids, you transform into tiny sea urchins. This glyceroglycolipid is mainly a distinct group of lipids present in plants ─ ─"

"It's interesting, but I guess it's also something I really need to ask right now. Write it up in your report later. So, you extract the" pervert "from the eel?

"Hey, is that report really there? Well, no. That's right." Pervert "comes from this eel. And then ─ ─"

After a while, Bran finally came to see a giant monster like Uluru and Ubel.

"Wow, what is this! Snake Monster!? Giant Medusa!?"

It's Lyla.

"Are you Mr. Lyla!? How bad would you do such a punishing feather!?

"That's what I wanted."

"To look like this from myself!? If you had any troubles, you should have told me!

"─ ─ Isn't that terrible?

If Rae's state of total liberation were based on a giant alakunay with wings, would Lyla whisper Lamia?

But it's not exactly Lamia.

The snake-like lower body is firmly covered with scales. Moreover, its surface is warm and techy, which, combined with the feminine silhouette of the upper body, creates a very bad atmosphere for education.

In addition, from the back of the snake was a knitted wing that looked like countless hands.

A collaboration of wings and evil hands. Blanc said Medusa because he mistook it for his hair.

Also, the human upper body is wrapped in black armor like rare arachnay, which seems to be the effect of "armor" and "diamond steel".

And the head of the human upper body, from its forehead, was growing the upper body of the original lira.

Apparently, the Demon King is not the only one with a strong ac.

Lyla absorbed large quantities of eel and Adamas armor, as well as Garguille.

At first, I thought I was going to use Abigail, but Rare, who I don't know if he is or she, saw him in pity, stopped. Abigail also has the edge of being associated with combat training. Experience fighting Rare personally should be a huge advantage that cannot be counted. That's what convinced me.

In other words, when was it increasing, Lila also "summoned" a large amount of Oral Skin, creating it again as a Garguille and using it for the material.

As a result, the elongated shape of the eel combined with the scales of the Garguille made it look like a snake and was added to the lower body.

For shapes like this eel, it appears by turning on the characteristic "serpentine". The swimming method that twists that body of the eel is also known as serpentine, and it seems to come from it, but the effect of this characteristic is that "walking and swimming are possible even without feet/fins, and in the case of travel without feet/fins, a bonus to speed".

Turning on only tortuosity and scales makes the lower body a huge serpentine, exactly like Lamia. It can be said that Rare becomes arachne with multiple legs and crusts.

"I see -! But it's kind of nice to feel like you're banging the Evil King and the Snake King!

"Oh, speaking of which, yeah. Not bad."

"Shit, I took the spider in without thinking about it..."

But I can't even think of a creature that works just fine with the reading "Ma".

"Is Rae a spider?

"Come on, show it to Bran! Show me!

No way.

For the first time, a Phantom becomes immense in a trap. It is not something to be done.

No, I'm not a Phantom.

"Is Rae big, too? You mean you two in that direction? Then I guess I should have ridden a giant robot of light or something, not an equal size hero either. No, you've only had a massive masked bike ride once, VS somehow."

"Whatever, but first we need a species with a pervert."

"It's okay! I've got you on the road! Here!"

Blanc's hand had something like a bug basket, where it was tightly packed with beetles. Apparently it took me a while to do it and it was because I was a bug catcher.

"What's wrong with the bug basket..."

"I sold it to the city of Refresher."

"I thought it was supposed to be for keeping fruit, bread, etc. We use it as a bug basket by combining two."

The Azareas are also carrying the basket. If we all share, we will reach 100 enough.

It seems that it is possible to extract multiple of the same kind at once, so it is not necessary to do it 100 times just because it requires 100 animals.

It took me a while to experiment with Hideo because I was unsure of some of the numbers I needed. If I know it's 100, I just need to put 100 in from the beginning.

"So first, uh, perverts and crustaceans? Don't these guys have multiple legs? I wonder if I need more than eight legs."

"Come on, come on"

"Okay, okay. Stanislav"

I'll take care of it.

Blanc turned to the flask in exasperation, and every basket of worms was put in on the material side.

When I asked Stanislav if he didn't have to remove the basket, he said that if he didn't put it in 100 units like insects, it wouldn't show any traits.

"Transformation!... that?

"Change the activation key or it won't activate."

"Oh my God! But I don't know how."

"Whatever you want, just give it a try."

"Er... I can't help it. Okay, well, hey," pervert. "

"What are you illuminating now?

"Hold on! Ah."

It was also slow for Magenta to stop, and at that moment Bran's clothes were torn from the inside out and perverted as if he had been forced to remodel the beetle into a human form.

The overall silhouette is very similar to that of Hydeo.

The female body makes her look smart, irrelevant but unexpectedly Bran has longer legs than she thought.

Unlike Hydeo, there are no jagged arms or mouth, and there are fine horns on the head.

You're a slut. Because it seems that there is no gender in insect-based monsters, it may not be related to gender in the form of monsters that have acquired characteristics as insects.

The fine design is also better for adults than for Hydeo's, or the whole biologically intricate grotesque appeared. However, in this regard, it would be a range of personalities. In analogy, it can be described as the design of systems such as analyzers or alternatives within the same work.

That and the other thing, the gloss on the surface of the armor is different.

If you look at it this way, you'll know better, but I guess Hideo's armor was still iron armor.

Blanc's armor without it is only a beetle crust, and there are not many strong bonuses if you also consider that the original is just an insect. "Decimal damage void" or something like that, which seems to be a common effect of the crust.

"Oh? Isn't this pretty cool?

Blanc is delighted, but Azarea and Magenta sigh.

"... In the meantime, I'll have you buy one in the city of Rifle that looks like Bran's clothes. There's no Mare or Gustav, so, uh, I guess I'll ask Cervantes. A man would be nice."
