“Robert, before we go in… is there anything we can use as a cape? Something cool would be great.”
“Hmm… how about a star-spangled banner? It seems like it would look pretty cool.”
“Red would be preferable, but… well, it’s not bad.”
Jiang Yeoul was preparing for a performance before entering the Tampa Tower.
People tend to pursue what they can see with their own eyes.
Failing to see because it’s too fast is a miss, and being so chaotic that you can’t figure out what’s happening is a minus.
Of course, during a VTuber live stage, it was important to show a unified image as everyone works together in harmony.
That’s why Wakamou was eager to showcase everyone’s collaborative efforts during a group stream.
Since it wasn’t going well, Wakamou, who had his mana drastically reduced from stress, needed an outlet for his frustration.
The Incheon Tower is a perfect place to die if you’re careless, and the Kyoto Tower might suddenly challenge you with, “Hey! You scoundrel! I challenge you to a duel!!” insisting on a fair and square match!!
And what about the American Tower?
It doesn’t even bother to learn about me? This is playground level!
‘They’re all friendly, but their egos are too strong, making the co-streams a mess every time.’
Thinking about how to smash the tower.
Wakamou considered the strong egos of VTubers as a significant strength and was pondering how to turn this into a harmonious synergy rather than a chaotic debacle.
With nothing but troublemakers in the ranks, they keep exploding wildly.
There was a need for a cute and lovable, perfect VTuber like our dear Maid Bocchi Onion who could seamlessly blend everyone within.
But hearing that one was leaving to pursue their dreams, Wakamou struggled to hold back tears.
Holding back the tears…
A tearful farewell doesn’t suit us….
For a VTuber, graduation means setting out to find a new life, so it should be celebrated, not mourned like death.
However, to fans, it’s virtually identical to what one might call a [finale], never to be seen again, so some might say they’re essentially dead.
They channel this sadness into their poetry…..
“Can I have expectations?!”
Jiang Yeoul, wearing the star-spangled banner like a cape, manipulated mana to switch to a bodysuit previously shown by Manager Wanda Haye, smiling at Robert’s expectations.
When a red cape comes to mind, isn’t it Superman? Although he might not have a similar thing, he thought of handing over the American symbolic star-spangled banner… Unfortunately, there is another famous hero known for wearing the American flag as a cape.
Only, despite the unpopularity of the evaluation… for Wakamou, who’s somewhat immersed in culture, threw in a famous line from a more famous drama than the comics.
“Listen up, Robert. I’m Wakamou. I can do whatever I want.”
“…You’re not Superman, are you?”
“You gave me the wrong cape.”
※※※
[You are climbing the 22nd floor of Tampa Tower]
-Overcome the tower’s challenges to reach the 60th floor.
-Survive or die, win the duel!
-[Brutal Tier Monster] Bloody Monkey appears!
-Where’s the Leader???
-Show up, you failed collab Leader!!!
-Is it true Ichigo and Mare Pirate rolled together on the sofa?!
-Asuka said it’ll come out if you suck on it, is it true?!
-Mama!! Goo goo ga ga!!!
-It really turned into a mental ward!!!!
-Uh, but no greetings today??!
This wasn’t like the usual Wakamou. Was the shock of another failed collab really that great?
In the forest, red-furred monkeys the size of humans, holding guns, were rampaging with fierce cries.
They seemed to be searching for Wakamou, looking around everywhere, and the cameras, which should have been showing Wakamou’s face, were just capturing the monsters.
“I just want to be loved.”
And then quietly came Jiang Yeoul’s voice.
With a much more pleasant and beautiful voice than May’s light one and Wakamou’s heavy masculine voice, many Believers wanted her to perform ASMR-like sounds for them.
Sensing the impending appearance of Wakamou, the Believers excitedly typed away in chat, saying whatever they wanted.
Managers couldn’t handle the wave of people discussing trivial things or making unnecessary remarks, violating the broadcast’s rules.
Knowing that Asuka was aware of Wakamou’s terrible mood, she strictly enforced chat restrictions on everyone, managing it thoroughly.
The sight of Asuka working harder than usual, pulling in more computing power, seemed like she was trying to prove, “Master!! Asuka is a good familiar!!”
The viewers noticed too, as they watched her behavior, emphasizing her manager title by repeatedly displaying her name in the chat, expressing surprise at her uncharacteristic actions.
“But if I can’t do that… it’s not bad to be an object of fear, either.”
Flap─
Due to the strong light pouring from above, her face became obscured in shadow.
But knowing she was dressed in a suit that clung to her body and a fluttering cape, the Believers smiled in arousal.
However, the Believers who thought they had heard Wakamou’s line somewhere couldn’t laugh.
-Isn’t this some infamous character’s line?
-Who is it then, Superman?
-There’s something based on Superman.. uh, hmm….
-Why can’t you say it, Believer?
-It’s a psychopath, man.
-Hahahahahhaha
-Hah? lol?
-It’s a superhero from an American drama, but they’re a psycho!!!
-It’s a genuine cape of the stars and stripes.
-We.are.doomed!!
-Didn’t I tell you to stop teasing, you guys!!!!
-Today, the Believers who’ve gone rotten will be wiped out. You’ve crossed the line.
-Please spare me!! I’ve seen it with my bare eyes, Wakamou-san!! I’ll report it!!
In the form of a psycho superhero cosplay from a famous American drama, Wakamou, or rather Jiang Yeoul, instilled fear and terror among the Believers.
The overwhelming display at the 50th floor of unarmed combat was impactful, and although many had speculated renaming (?) themselves as Dalki, most of the viewers were wondering why.
Floating down from the sky instead of landing, Jiang Yeoul was slightly hovering.
This trick was simply placing two cameras inside her shoes. Also, by lightening her body with [Weight of Faith] and floating her body using [Idol’s Storm], she was doing more unnecessary things than expected.
“[Ueeeeck]!!”
“[Keieck!! Kkeeek!!!]”
As the gunfire rang out, Jiang Yeoul stood still.
The direct bullet hit caused metal clanging sounds which deflected, scattering bullets below.
Each collision produced sparks, causing bullets to fall below Jiang Yeoul.
Some Believers noticed it was more intense than when it was shown in China initially, but—
-What’s this?
-Leader, why are your eyes glowing..
-No way, right? Oh no, right?
-It’d be great if you said no to this!!
-I’m about to lose it…
Her golden eyes began to turn red, and soon her entire eyes became crimson, emitting beams of light.
The skill description of [Idol’s Thunder] is converting held mana into lightning. [VTuber Asset] means mana.
In other words, [Dazzling Glow (color change possible)] was ultimately light and mana.
As mentioned before, it consumed mana at a ridiculous rate. Was it because, purely speaking, it was ‘light,’ making it difficult to maintain the form? Thanks to that, the mana was absurdly reduced through multiplication, but the mana was more than sufficient.
Thummmmmmmind———!!!
Beams of red light shot from her eyes, following her vision and taking a wide angle even with slight head movement, grazing the landscape, setting it ablaze, and reducing it to rubble.
Though it was written as light, it was essentially lightning shooting out from her eyes, scorching and slicing the landscape, scattering the Bloody Monkeys’ bodies, turning them into ash and scattered parts.
“Ufufu, ahahaha!!!”
It’s laughter from exhilaration, but since the setting was to smile, she laughed devilishly with her mouth stretched to her ears, stopping Believers from typing on their keyboards.
Though the Leader took hits like a sandbag every day and cherished and played with the Believers, rumors of him often being crass and showing aggressive behavior during the Clipper era were true.
It seemed like the Wakamou of those times had returned… or maybe even reverted back to his darkened period, which gave an eerie quietness to the chatroom.
Though 100,000 were watching, the chat seemed to have come to a pause.
“Oh, did the chat stop?”
-No no no.
-Wakamou-sama is the best!!!
-Bring back the motherly affection to us…
-Darn, Pirate was right!!!!
-This isn’t our gentle mama…!!
-The beam from the eyes, flying, and super strength….
-I wish it was Superman.
-Someone, play the Starman song!!!
“Believers like these sorts of things~<3 Enveloping the hearts of dear Believers♥" -It's freaking terrifying. -I'm innocent! I swear!! -Smiling like that makes it look like you'd fry us to a crisp. -How many holes are in a believer's heart? -Wakamou leader!!! Come back!!!!! -Leader even shoots beams from his eyes... noted... "This could be a good catchphrase, don't you think?" -Not at all. -I'll stop teasing, just please stop...!! -The unsubscribed ones are off to the pyre~☆ -What a terrifying subscription pitch. -But when you subscribe to Leader, there are a ton of clips!!!! -That can't be more inconvenient than death, can it? -True. Going to subscribe twice. -You jerk hahahahaha -These crazy believer buggers hahahahaha Having grown weary of the facade, Wakamou thought his distorted image had indeed grown oversized. After calming down a bit, he realized it would indeed be scary. "The monkeys they send out are so insignificant." Jiang Yeoul, clicking his heel on the burnt head of a monkey on the 22nd floor, moved to the 23rd floor. Wearing tied-up hair and a black bodysuit that clings to her whole body. And upon turning around, the fluttering American flag was prominently visible. If one were to see this, it was the exact look of a superhero who had jumped out of a comic book. But watching Jiang Yeoul's side smile creep up as more monkeys bounded over to him, using their nimble movements and long arms to wield weapons, one would think Jiang Yeoul was a supervillain, not a superhero. -Look at our Jiang-official sneer. -"You impertinent monkeys seem unaware of your place." -I've seen this in a movie.... -I feel like I've seen this in a drama. -But isn't there no issue since it's an Asian idol coming to America? -Oh, then ask America to release Superman too, lol -If they drag out their actual captive alien, what then? -Then we'll just be watching another video. -A viewer gone mad with broadcasting... 'Should we try it?' There is a time difference between broadcasts in America and Korea. Though I've never tried it before, it was possible to apply a [delay] on the stream. Since I could change the scenes instantly as I wished, Wakamou decided to experiment and demonstrate something more fun to the Believers. However, first things first, reinforcing the [Idol's Body], Jiang Yeoul accelerated momentarily, launching a fist into the onrushing Bloody Monkey's chest. As the Monkey rushed, halting its momentum and striking with a robust punch, a shockwave rang out, and the Bloody Monkey exploded, showering Jiang Yeoul in blood. In the movies, don't they fly backward...? Didn't he do it like this in Superman movies...? He mumbled inside, revealing his dismay with discomfort. Hehehe. Had it not been preset for Jiang Yeoul to keep smiling as her only expression, a visibly displeased expression would have shown. Even though she was painted in blood, smiling as if delighted, Jiang Yeoul's grin energized the Believers to behave with a bit more politeness during the day's chat. -Oh, your smile is like that of a fairy. -It’s indeed right to live life with a smile. -There is a saying that laughing gives you strength~ -Good luck to those going to fan meets. -Why suddenly switch roles, lol? -If you don't want to fall victim to human sacrifice, you should start by reading the chat guidelines. -Since I've been subscribed for 6 months, I should be spared!!! Together with the Believers having fun (?) through chat, Jiang Yeoul accelerated in a moment, leaving a fast blur hard for eyes to follow, reaching a Bloody Monkey and unleashing a fist to burst them. Once again, accelerating in front of a Bloody Monkey, smashing its head, showcasing a super-fast combat only superhumans could perform, Jiang Yeoul took down 30 Bloody Monkeys as bodies within five minutes. If participating in a party play while using consumables generously and fighting, it wasn't really a difficult level to clear. Originally, there was an explanation that firearms were brought out on higher floors, but even holding a gun was meaningless as they couldn’t aim or shoot accurately. If it was [Rare Metal], it would work, but now that was a thing of the past too. Reaching the 24th floor, Jiang Yeoul, who was flying broadly over the bog and arms crossed, looked down on the [Frog] type monsters that were only peeking their heads out of the mire. The thieving costume-clad, with venom-laden knives and daggers [Killer Rogue Frog], numbering 10, camouflaged using [Chroma Cover], disappearing from sight. -Wow, that’s really neat. -Do they vanish going transparent? -In a bog, won’t they reveal themselves when they move? "Hey?" And then Wakamou also became blurry before turning invisible, vanishing too. -Hahahahahaha -Stealth counter!!! -Can they even do this???? -Is there anything they can't do!!! -Foxes adapt to the environment by having camouflage. -Really? -If you see desert and arctic foxes, you'll know. -But why is a fox brown? -That's because humans find them cute. -Heck, that's smart, darn it hahahahahaha -I want to adopt and raise a stray fox!!! With Wakamou also disappearing, the Rogue Frogs, panicked, revealed themselves, looking around in confusion. Despite their thief-themed concept, they pulled out firearms in one hand, showcasing a treacherous appearance, making even the viewers shake their heads. Normally, monsters wouldn’t use firearms, yet the American Tower gave them guns. But to Wakamou, raising the difficulty level, had him scoffing at merely handing out guns. The Frogs, sloshing around the mire in four directions watched carefully and were eerily like trained soldiers. Is it because it’s the American Tower? Wakamou chuckled, thinking of the army special forces seen in movies if stranded in a forest. The lead Frog took a deep breath, sniffing the air, and seemingly with ears, cupped the side of its head to listen carefully. It was a perfect reconnaissance, except for the fact that Wakamou neither breathes nor has a heartbeat. -Is that hand signaling from the army? -Why is a monster using military signaling hahahaha -‘Cause it’s the American Tower lulz -Do monsters know democracy? -The tower yields oil, hence that. -Then where's the Leader gone? After watching the Frogs wandering around for a while, a "hold" hand signal from the leader came and as comrades lowered their weapons, there was a "whoosh!!" sound. The silver-bladed knife gleamed, protruding through the chest. Jiang Yeoul revealed from behind the Frog, swinging their arm, slicing the Frog in half, leaving it to tumble in the mire. Not even using a sword but brandishing a gun, showcasing them amusingly as they wore mercury-made bracelets on both wrists, raising them as if for display. Bang─! Ting! The fired bullets further bounced off the mercury bracelets and continued to deflect the flying bullets by waving an arm. Unable to load with time considering the countless fired bullets, and readying a bomb at the waist, a beam of lightning fired from Jiang Yeoul’s eyes sliced through them. The screen was covered in shadows. Something sliced, collapsing alongside the spectacle showed Jiang Yeoul floating above the mire. The many Frogs that were attacked by laser must have faced a gruesome end, leaving Believers in chuckling disbelief. -How did you beat Tai Gongwang you bastard!!!! -No, if you managed to beat him you should have shared the method, huh? -Whoa, did you see him deflect the bullets with his hands? -Isn’t this like Wonder Woman lol -In America, the leader goes all out in America superhero style. -If it’s hunting in stealth, shouldn’t that be Prdx? "But isn’t the American Tower too low-leveled though?" When the awaited phrase came out, Wakamou smiled. He had no intention of engaging in a conflict or a competition with America. Only dissatisfaction towards the American Tower for blocking information under the pretext of equality prevailed. "Could a deity be present within the American Tower, like in East Asia’s Towers?" When ascending to the 25th floor, a monster attacked. A [Rage of the Light Thunder Rhino] reminiscent of his memories made Wakamou smile, swinging a mercury blade, splitting it cleanly in two. Unable to withstand the speed of charging forward, it split left and right, caught its own foot, tripped, and fell miserably, leaving its torso gravely tumbled. Standing stubbornly between the seamless cut sat Jiang Yeoul, still holding their stance. A speed beyond the sight of the watching audience!!! "No, no, no. There's no god in America. There’s only one who looks down on all from above, and it is I." -Ganglander! Ganglander! -Booblander!!! Booblander!! -Hey, Mr. Booblander!! -You crazy bastards stop giving weird nicknames lol -Isn’t this the side with things coming out from the chest? -I envy Ichigo... waaah.... "Happy to see everyone enjoying it. Wasn’t yesterday’s collab a disaster..." -Please don’t talk while covered in blood. -The Wakamou Leader merely took the hit. -What is this power of mercy... A truly perfect superhuman! -Receiving an opponent's attack is an act of mercy before killing. -Then what's our Booblander? -If they rush in, they’re dead. -Ah, that’s common sense isn’t it. -This is the classic American showdown? -Wasn’t overthrowing and taking land from natives America’s tradition? -You crazy fool hahahahahahahaha -Why not just take over America while we’re at it lol "Seriously, looking at you freely chatting away like it's someone else's business makes me envious....." -Info) The Leader has expressed wanting to bury his face in armpits and die. -TMI) The Leader once said he buys used tissues for a price. -Fact) The Leader once thanked someone for slapping his cheek as a reward. -Truth) The Leader once mentioned in a hearing that a chest has to be big to be arousing. -"The past never disappears!!!! -The Leader's shadowy taste... hobby.... -Huh? Why is there a mirror here? -The sudden intimacy is insane lol "Ah─! I want hugs and cuddles from Peko Mama!! A certain VTuber who is married apparently just had their second child. When will I create a first gen..." -Family-like company (fact) -For those without a mother, a mother is provided. -The first generation's mom was Mei-chan, so survived. -Mom of the first gen was Mei-chan, so I survived. -Then is the second gen Lady Kang? -Scary as hell, lol -Sure as hell keeps things in order, lol -Isn't it like the Korean drama [The Girls]? The fear only lasted a moment. The viewers, who were initially trembling with fear, acted like nothing happened, returning as believers to join in on Kang Yeoul's conversations. They giggled at anything being said, finding it amusing, yet the boundaries were still respected as best as possible. "Even cuddling with Wakamou doesn't feel that great..." -Missing Jiang Taigong's embrace, are we? -Likes men more than women. -Classic widow comment, verified! "No, it's... kinda weird. Makes me self-loathing." -Then let us hug you!!!! "I'll hug you during the next participation session. How about that?" -What? -What? -What? -What...did you say... -The leader's presence has vanished...? -Already killed him? lol -Disappeared so fast, lol -Raid the participation rights!!! Purify the gallery!!! "Today, for those loyal viewers~ Kang Yeoul offers participation tickets as a gift?" No sooner than she said that, the viewer count leaped from 100,000 to 200,000. Beyond 200,000... to 300,000... then 400,000… "530,000...!!" -No way, LOL -Where did they all come from, LOL -530,000 rivals for a participation ticket...? -Much more than I thought... -I thought 10,000 would be a lot, but damn, LOL -Considering the leader has 9 million subscribers, it's quite low actually. 530,000 live viewers... did they all jump in just because she mentioned giving out participation tickets? Lots of viewers were surely a good thing. To lighten the mood, she did some quick stretches, making her bodysuit emphasize her chest, leaving both newcomers and veteran viewers alike dazed like they got hit with a hammer. To make sure everyone could see well, she moved the camera closer, giving them a teasing glimpse with a [Booba Jump Scare]. Amazingly, it's the boob-pop skill invented by the American blue watch VTuber. The bigger the chest, the more effectively it could enthrall the viewers (?). "Men, indeed, are frail beings when it comes to a woman's chest..." -Can't deny that... -Have nothing to say. -Women love it too. -Women love big ones too!!! The chat, a chaotic mix of Korean, English, Japanese, and Chinese, was indeed a mess. Though Wakamou was a man, his self-deprecating comment on becoming a VTuber nagging at men's tastes with his chest, was misinterpreted by viewers as another source of excitement. "Huh?" Upon reaching the 26th floor, nothing was visible in the darkness, making Wakamou tilt his head, wondering where he might have seen this before. And the moment he said "Huh?" an ore-clad [Golden Gazer] lunged at him with a shriek. With a speed slightly faster than that of Lightning Rhino, it sent a handblade lunging to pierce Kang Yeoul. Clang!!! The echo rang throughout the cave as sparks flew. Startled by hitting what seemed to be metal, the Gazer continued its relentless assault with ceaseless cries. Its appearance, made entirely of [Rare Metal], showcased itself as an evolved version of the Gazer, appearing like a higher-level monster, but.... -Why won't it die!! “It’s called nanomachines, rookie.”
-Haha, there it is, LOL
-The famous line has arrived, lol
-Truly doing whatever they want.
-Doing all the cool stuff for themselves!!!
The swift and nimble Gazer, usually leaving afterimages with its agile movements, struck repeatedly, but Kang Yeoul didn’t budge.
Standing steady, practically inviting the hits, she combined her steadfast stance with a smile, making it clear she was underestimating them.
With the skill effect of [Idol’s Mineral], [Idol’s Body], it consumed her mana to cover her exterior with [Mineral].
The problem was that minerals didn’t offer flexibility, making movements impossible and locking her once transformed, reverting back to mana upon skill deactivation due to its scattering nature.
Despite such limitations, it was considered a [Defensive Skill], capable of enduring even a direct hit from a [Mana Burn].
With Dorrison J Jackson’s guidance, Wakamou learned [Rare Metals] were minerals too, enabling even their incorporation at a high mana cost.
“It becomes harder in response to physical shock. You’d never guess how many [Rare Metals] are mixed in.”
With the ability to mix and swap at will, alloys could even be created as desired.
Of course, if rare and numerous minerals were combined, the mana cost might make getting hit by a [Mana Burn] a preferable choice.
Like Mare Pirate’s [Shape-shifting], Wakamou’s arm turned black as a sharp, dark blade emerged.
Despite being evolved to compensate for the sole weakness of fragile defenses, the Gazer’s head was swiftly severed by the metallic blade Wakamou swung.
And starting from the tip of the blade, the metal sword gradually disintegrated into black dust.
-Is it really nanomachines?
-Haha, LOL
-How many skills are there!!!
-While Mei uses martial arts, this one’s a monster!!
-“Got weaker”
-Can’t imagine what they were like at their peak.
-Probably the legendary super fox with 1000 heads and golden fur once in a thousand years.
-Guess why Gumiho has golden fur, believers?
-Ah, HAHA
“Shall we keep moving forward?”
-Keep moving forward….
-Said by the division captain, that famous line…
-Tomaranai!!
-It’s the Virtual Live catchphrase!!!
-Let’s go, Captain!!
Reacting to Kang Yeoul’s lines, believers laughed and chattered along. Being in America, she vowed to deliver whatever’s popular there! And showcased all that was fun.
Such exhausting usage might leave nothing for the climb of Incheon Tower in the future, but no antics like these would be possible at Incheon Tower.
On merely showcasing, they would exploit the gap, discern the next move, or declare, “Aha? Let’s whip this out. That is forbidden,” exploiting the weaknesses.
Seems like the [American Tower] couldn’t discern Wakamou’s information, treating him with fairness and adherence to manuals.
Their cluelessness regarding the class led to random counters, and giving out guns was already absurd enough.
Moreover, they foolishly administered poison, finding it pathetic given the immunity Wakamou possessed toward poisons.
Clink─
[Climbing the Tampa Tower at Floor 27]
-Conquer the trials of the Tower to reach the 60th floor.
-Judge between life or death, win the duel!
-[Brutal Grade Monster] [Monster Gang] Appears!
“Huh─?”
Upon arrival, Wakamou was greeted by orcs and goblins pointing guns at him. Then, dwarfs, lizardmen, bloody monkeys, and even [Frog Shooters] were added to the sight, prompting uncontrolled laughter from Wakamou. The monstrous army numbered no less than 50, at the least.
The monsters, blatantly calling themselves a gang, fired guns and unleashed bullets.
Eventually, the bullets were halted mid-air.
The broadcast seemed to stutter slightly, as viewers noted the hovering bullets curiously.
Then echoed entrancing music.
They applied delay to the camera feed, slowing the transmission as much as possible.
In that moment, they recorded, edited, and aired the modified footage as slow motion.
With the help of Aoi Asuka and utilizing full concentration with Mei, Wakamou artificially created a kind of ultrahigh-speed camera.
Sparks flew violently from Kang Yeoul’s body as she walked through the stopped bullets.
Mana dropped alarmingly at a rate of 50,000 per second in this state.
Safety dictated she could feature no more than 29 seconds, due to the severe mana exhaustion, making it a flawed skill –
But from a viewer’s standpoint, it looked powerfully cool and incredible.
Traveling through the slowed world, Kang Yeoul playfully bumped into the monsters while gentle nudges sent them spiraling, and when the transmission briefly stuttered back to real-time, monsters collided, engulfed in a thunderous explosion, getting hit by their bullets, and fell in piles.
“Tada~”
With only 10,000 mana remaining, Kang Yeoul hadn’t lost her smile.
Despite being drained beyond measure, Wakamou was drenched in cold sweat, while Mei vomited uncontrollably into a bucket. Benefiting from professionalism, Kang Yeoul unfailingly presented the audience with a captivating display!
“Think I nailed it..!!”
“Sigh”
Seeing Mei writhing in tears, claiming she couldn’t withstand it was a blessing, as Wakamou breathed a sigh of relief.
Unaware of the events unfolding in Korea, the viewers remained ignorant and continued to marvel over the [superspeed world] Kang Yeoul had presented.
-Haha, LOL
-The visual was killer, damn, LOL
-Is this ultra-high-speed camera…?
-Feels American hero movie-level.
-Just let the leader debut in Hollywood?
-Might not accept beauty.
-Ah, LOL, not politically correct lol
-Then why not just film it themselves!!
-Are you not tuning in for Ichigo’s membership broadcast?
-Oh, shooting right now, LOL
“Now, shall we head up right away?”
Even standing was becoming difficult for Kang Yeoul. Before she collapsed, they quickly ascended to the next floor.
Then, iron bars dropped, trapping Kang Yeoul with a thud.
Unable to hide her astonishment, Kang Yeoul grasped the bars. Suddenly, a bubbling lava surface revealed itself beneath her.
A conspicuous [button] across the way seemed to unlock the prison.
-Do they have this stuff in America?
-What kind of movie is this??
-Would Our Leader not die even if falling into the lava..?
-What crime has the lava committed!!!
-Starting off with a gimmick battle, lol
-Push that switch, it opens, right?
-The monsters laughing is killing me, lol
Including the newly added five restrained Gazers, the gang had doubled in numbers compared to before.
“It feels like holding a fan meeting.”
With that, Kang Yeoul leaned towards the bars.
Transforming into a silver liquid, she passed right through the bars.
A display of the future’s liquid metal killing machine left the monsters in shock.
Bullets rained in, this time deforming and denting the liquid metal Kang Yeoul.
Only momentarily, the mercury-formed body began to recover as if nothing had happened.
-TER, MIN, A, TOR, lol
-Where is John Connor!!!
-Seeing it in reality makes it scarier, damn, lol
-Get liquid nitrogen!!!
-Frogs do have a freezing shot skill, though.
-But if it hits, won’t the leader burn too?
-Then just die.
-Right, lol
Kang Yeoul wasn’t exactly the “main body.” Being merely a “substitute,” transforming her whole being into mercury belonging to the metal category using [Idol’s Mineral] posed no issue.
Despite claiming it as mineral, being able to utilize any metal brought curiosity over if uranium might be a possibility… to which Wakamou decided against trying.
Attempting that would indeed result in a manhunt.
Guaranteed the world would freak out… someday he planned to test that just on the [Six Legged Beast].
‘In this state, I’d be completely immune to a [Mana Burn].’
All mana was held by Wakamou, enabling the liquid metal form of the substitute to operate.
Simply put, it’s akin to remotely controlling a golem summon.
Having just discovered a way to overcome vulnerability, Wakamou grinned inside.
Though it bore the disadvantage of being ineffective for the main body, coupled with the inability to move against being called an artwork by Adelheid – thankfully an ally – while having to ponder the possibility of being captured upon gazing at her illustrations─ Wakamou vowed to never lose composure.
Buzz──
[VTuber Asset]+[VTuber Asset]+[Idol’s Thunder]+[Idol’s Form] combined.
Though it initially merely appeared as a lightsaber hilt, [Idol’s Thunder] produced the light, and [Idol’s Form] superimposed an image over it.
Adding VTuber asset put color on it; reality portrayed a trivial form hardly surpassing that of a [plasma welder], with dressing expenses overwhelmingly exorbitant.
But that doesn’t matter, it looks damn cool!!!
You just can’t resist the allure of a lightsaber!!!
Even as bullets poured in, Kang Yeoul didn’t budge.
With each leisurely step, she wielded and sliced through bullet trajectories seemingly foreseen while effortlessly demolishing advancing monsters.
Not even unseen attacks from the back went undefended, countered, or unapologetically bisected by the one-handedly wielded dazzling lightsaber actions of Kang Yeoul.
Had it been declared a [Star Wars] film set, one could easily believe it, mesmerized by her arresting swordsmanship display.
-Feels different, lol
-The fluid lightsaber acrobatics are alive!!!
-This is what we wanted!!!
-Overpowered, lol
-Can’t help but be amazed every time they block the unseen, lol
Not stopping there, Mei, now invisible, teleported into the scene.
As Kang Yeoul reached toward the void, a goblin levitated.
Carefully coordinated, Mei raised it amidst the act, with Wakamou lifting it higher due to Mei’s shorter stature.
Synchronizing with the snapping gesture, the goblin’s neck snapped, and tossed it across only to have it slam into the floor as cameras captured heaps of monstrous corpses.
-Classical Force Grip, lol
-Can they use telekinesis too??
-What can’t they do!!!
-How did they lift the hidden goblin without seeing it?
-If it’s visible to us, the leader sees it too, lol
-Was it a thriller, LOL
[Climbing the Tampa Tower at Floor 29]
-Conquer the trials of the Tower to reach the 60th floor.
-Judge between life or death, win the duel!
-[Brutal Grade Monster] [Vampire Outlaw] Appears!
Ascending to the 29th floor with a lightsaber in hand, an unfamiliar monster greeted Kang Yeoul.
“[Ah~ such a lovely lady… wouldn’t she let me savor her blood? But first, let’s discard what doesn’t suit you.]”
Pale skin and red eyes, appearing unmistakenly vampire, even in attire.
Having heard that such a monster existed in the American Tower, Kang Yeoul wasn’t expecting its emergence; the weapon in her grasp was automatically deactivated as the vampire secured it.
-Weapon theft is what, lol
-There are quite a few disarmament-oriented skills.
-Hence carrying multiple weapons.
-Despicable to steal the lightsaber!!!
Though deprived of the lightsaber, Kang Yeoul folded her hands behind, merely observing.
Possibly taught by the American Tower or not, in vain the vampire attempted wielding the lightsaber, discarding it as nothing happened, stopped just short of hitting the ground.
Mei had invisibly lifted it.
As Kang Yeoul posed like using telekinesis, lifting her arm skyward, the lightsaber blade emerged, piercing through the vampire outlaw’s chest.
“[Aaaaargh!!!]”
Inflicted with massive damage, the Vampire Outlaw dissipated into a mist of blood.
Joining Kang Yeoul’s side, it emerged again, arming itself with knuckles aimed at her head; nevertheless, a casual lift and flick sent the Outlaw spiraling, crashing ungracefully headfirst into the ground.
-Lololololol
-Lololol
-Ah, LOL
-Is this real??
-[Shooters] worst kind of nightmare.
-Teenage thugs challenging a martial arts master with knuckles?
-Not inaccurate, lol
With a subtle gesture, Mei rushed in to place the lightsaber in Kang Yeoul’s hand, while Wakamou seized and flung the Vampire Outlaw toward her.
Struggling in futile resistance, it proved worthless.
Determined, Wakamou hurtled the Outlaw with full force toward Kang Yeoul, who elegantly sliced it to pieces with the resounding buzz of the gracefully wielding lightsaber.
The scattered corpse fragments and neatly sheathed lightsaber were disregarded, as Kang Yeoul swept her hair behind an ear.
“The American Tower feels like a playground, incredibly fun~ Doesn’t it, believers?”
-That’s right, lol
-Ah, what vampire, lol
-Can they suck blood, though?
-No chance, lol
-Seen enough of the American Tower’s level…
-The greatest in America now, confirmed awesome.
-Keep your distance, American Tower… know your place…
-The thing American Tower faces, Wakamou?, Not enough, show respect.
-I’ll crush you. My America tour today will be your trauma.
-Seeking more in Tampa but ending undefeated in Incheon Tower, lol
-Nurtured monster by Korea Tower is too easy a foe.
-Heart isn’t racing, dopamine is lacking!!!
-Really, just playing around, lololol
While Korea Tower was the tormenter, the American Tower served as the surprising outlet of its ire.
When else could Wakamou freely taunt, relentlessly slamming the American Tower devoid of merits or rewards?
In short order, they’d soon reach the 30th floor.
Had the American Tower accepted the challenge?
[Climbing the Tampa Tower at Floor 30]
-Conquer the trials of the Tower to reach the 60th floor.
-Judge between life or death, win the duel!
-[Hardcore Violent Grade Monster] [Doppelganger] Appears!!
Upon ascending the tower, Kang Yeoul was greeted by a shadowy figure.
Swiftly, mimicking [Wakamou Inarizushi]’s visage, the shadow illusorily transformed.
Erupting as a colossal 2-meter giant, displaying a rarely-seen ghastly smile, raising its fist – it stayed unmistakably monstrous.
At the Doppelganger’s debut, the audience held their breath in anticipation.
Yet Kang Yeoul continued to smile.
“….Are you stupid?”
A sincerely inquisitive remark, accompanied by hurling a mana-imbued blade into its forehead followed by hiding within a portal.
The flashy explosion obliterated the Doppelganger.
Despite the impropriety of using foul language, finding it overwhelmingly ludicrous caused Kang Yeoul to collapse, stretching over the grass with tears of laughter.
