Chapter 22

・Bone Shattering and Body Crushing

A dagger without a blade. When the wielder resolves to use it, the curse of hatred sealed within the crystal forms the blade. By thrusting it into the ground during an earthquake, it activates, nullifying the effects of the "Curse" status applied to the user for five minutes. As a consequence, the user's VIT, excluding any additional values from equipment, is halved.

※This weapon cannot apply the "Curse" status to the target.

It is the fang of a snake that gnaws on hatred, anger, and even curses, its venom. The body cracks, curses devour each other. When the will succumbs to the curse, the body will shatter.

・Explanation

Crack! Be eaten! Shatter! Not a crocodile, but an anaconda... In other words, the protagonist is Star K.

Originally, it was decided in the plot that "curses would cancel out curses," but while I was struggling with how to make that happen, I watched a show that influenced me, and Gento-kun is great...

・Sealed Thunder Trigger: Calamity

A glove with an amber decoration covering the right hand. By striking the amber part of the right thumb against the left chest, the effect sealed within the amber is activated, further granting the user a "Special State: Ancient Thunder - Calamity" for a certain period.

The "Sealed Amber" series is classified based on the danger level of the sealed element and object. The classes are "Common," "Sealed," "Pure," "Calamity," and "Ultimate," with "Calamity" class being even more powerful than the highest "Ultimate" class, but it also turns on the user.

The trigger for the amber is the will of the user.

※Special State "Ancient Thunder" ... The target is enveloped in pitch-black lightning. Additional effects include "Increased Damage," "Lowered Resistance to Status Ailments," and "Eroding Electric Effect."

※Additional Effect "Calamity" ... During the effect, the user is granted the "Overdrive" effect. In the "Overdrive" state, the player's motion sensitivity is increased several times, and all motions receive a boost. Additionally, every ten seconds, the user takes damage equal to 50% of their total HP at the time of the judgment.

・Explanation

Hazard On! If someone says that, I'll inject them with nebula gas. I originally wanted to add a disadvantage where it would automatically go out of control, but since it was too straightforward, I made it so that the player would fall dramatically if they let their guard down due to excessive motion.

By the way, before I saw a certain Black Hazard, I was thinking of equipping the protagonist with an "Ultimate accessory containing primordial magma," but the peaky one seemed to make the protagonist shine more, and now I think, "Using a fist to activate magma is like extreme muscles!"

・Brave Fish Hare Moon [Azure Radiance]

Dual Blade

The true form of the dual blade, combining [Golden Radiance] and [Netherlight]. The great sword of crystal that emits the true light of the moon nurtures a blue-golden moonlight in the deep night.

・"Radiant Azure Radiance"

By consuming the crystallized components transformed by the [Golden Radiance] effect, the power of the subsequent "Fatal Lunar Eclipse" can be increased. The acceleration varies depending on the rarity of the component crystals, and the highest class can enable a bullet-like draw.

・"Fatal Lunar Eclipse"

A draw assist skill that draws [Golden Radiance] from the [Netherlight] sheath with the acceleration including the "Radiant Azure Radiance" boost. Strictly speaking, it is not an attack skill, so it does not conflict with other draw attack skills. After use, the combined state is forcibly解除.

・Explanation

Full Bottle Bus (ry

If I had to choose, it's more like a flintlock large orange DJ gun, where you put in components to increase the power for a special move... Still, this is a Full Bottle Bus (ry

Strictly speaking, it's a bit of a mess, but Vash analyzed what the protagonist needed and transformed into its true form, which is why the draw mechanism was installed. It's important to note that the "Overclass Killer" effect is no longer present... So, what kind of enhancement was it designed for? This is the most important point of the "Fatal Hare Epic."

While it might not be the right place to mention, the enhanced lethal weapons obtained by clearing the unique scenario "Invitation from the Land of Hares" are prefixed with "Flower," "Bird," "Wind," or "Moon." For the protagonist, it's "Hare Moon," for Akinatsu Akane, it's "Hare Flower," and for the heroine, it's "Hare Wind." Is there a pattern? Well... (I didn't think about it)

By the way, what is "Hare Bird"? Maybe the ruby should be "Chimera"?

・Heroic Weapons

Weapons wielded by heroes, regardless of their moral alignment, who left their names in the history of the modern era, which has passed since the Age of Gods.

In game terms, all heroic weapons spawn and drop in a state where their original power has been diminished for some reason.

For example, they might have been left to rot and decay after a fierce battle, or they might have been treated with such care that they dulled and rusted.

Initially, they can only exert a fraction of their original power, so they must undergo repair work corresponding to their "state" to transition to the next stage, "Repair."

Once a heroic weapon reaches the "Repair" stage, two paths are available: "Regeneration," which restores its original form and power, or "Reconstruction," which changes it into a new form desired by the new wielder.

The former cannot change the weapon type but has enhanced abilities, while the latter has a smaller increase in ability compared to "Regeneration" but changes the weapon type to one suitable for the player.

・Explanation

It's already a well-known thing, like Silver Sky Return Light Ridil.

Actually, quite a few players have them, and some have even revived them to the Repair state. However, to proceed further, they need to rely on one of the following: a mineral person, a giant, Vash, or the NPC "Legendary Blacksmith." As of the end of Chapter 4, no players have reached the Reverse or Rebuild stages. Keep it up, owners of the Holy Hammer!

？？？？？？

The reward for defeating ─────, a strange ── that looks like ─────.

Using the incantation "──" as a trigger, it activates ─────, and the user becomes "──────《？？？？・？？？？？？？》" for 300 seconds, enhancing all their stats based on the number of ────, regardless of whether they are players, NPCs, or enemies. However, every 30 seconds, ──── is activated, and if the user does not achieve at least three ──── during the ten ────, they enter the "────" state and are ──────────────.

Who are you!? I am you! No! I lost! I am you! I am blood! Skin! Flesh! I am "─"!! The soul is you! I am hungry! You are me! This is the end! I am hungry! You will be hungry too! So... So I will devour everything!!

・Explanation

This is a new feature I thought of during a burst of inspiration to help players who can't fight unique monsters. To be honest, I took inspiration from a certain company's Ordeals.

What does the death and weakening of the dragon that governs color and the golden dragon king signify? What does the saint's eye see? The ringing bell, the hand that drags the present from the past. What happened in the past, and what have we gone through to face what we face now? If I have to say, it's the "Five Colors, Seven Sins." Everything will change when the world enters its fourth stage...

The sword of gods and demons, "Oh, we're relatives!"

Even though I'm trying to keep my mouth shut, it keeps leaking out...
