Chapter 152: Thread About Kokushi Musou ⑦

566 Future Awakened

 Hold on — is that at the end of that corridor really what I think it is!?

567 Future Awakened

 It's here it's here it's here! That's the staircase to floor thirty-three, isn't it!?

568 Future Awakened

 A historic moment, this

569 Future Awakened

 Soraku-sama looks so happy!

570 Future Awakened

 Oh no, I'm getting nervous

571 Future Awakened

 The profile shot is HERE! Screenshot desuwa!

572 Future Awakened

 These guys really are handsome...

573 Future Awakened

 I wonder why he never films them from the front

574 Future Awakened

 Ahh, this is too precious

575 Future Awakened

 >573 Got a problem with profile shots?

576 Future Awakened

 Everyone looks so happy

577 Future Awakened

 A floor no one has ever reached... and we get to see it, even if only on video. What a moment

578 Future Awakened

 This is going to be an incredibly rare video

579 Future Awakened

 Overseas attention is going to be huge too

580 Future Awakened

 >573 Probably so HE doesn't step in first, yeah?

581 Future Awakened

 One look at these view counts and there's no doubt the overseas crowd is watching

582 Future Awakened

 They're finally entering floor thirty-three!

583 Future Awakened

 >580 Makes sense!

584 Future Awakened

 gulp

585 Future Awakened

 This is floor thirty-three

586 Future Awakened

 As expacted.

587 Future Awakened

 Our leader says such good things

588 Future Awakened

 He's got the face of a true explorer now

589 Future Awakened

 Uho! Shizuka-san went and asked HIM for help!

590 Future Awakened

 >589 Not you — ME!

591 Future Awakened

 >590 Not thee neither, its me!!

592 Future Awakened

 Um, I thought I was the one being asked

593 Future Awakened

 Well then, drone scouting ahead again from here

594 Future Awakened

 Scenery no one in the world has ever seen

595 Future Awakened

 There's something there

596 Future Awakened

 What is that thing?

597 Future Awakened

 SS's noticed it too

598 Future Awakened

 A Dead Wizard?

599 Future Awakened

 >598 Looks similar, yeah

600 Future Awakened

 But subtly different?

601 Future Awakened

 Looks like it's getting closer

602 Future Awakened

 Ah—

603 Future Awakened

 Eh?

604 Future Awakened

 Oh my?

605 Future Awakened

 It vanished?

606 Future Awakened

 Thought I heard a weird sound just now...

607 Future Awakened

 Oh, footage from the rear!

608 Future Awakened

 Multiple angles are a lifesaver

609 Future Awakened

 Huh, it's getting attacked

610 Future Awakened

 >609 You actually saw that?

611 Future Awakened

 The drone just vanished out of nowhere

612 Future Awakened

 >610 Barely caught it, though

613 Future Awakened

 Reporting to the leader

614 Future Awakened

 He looks rattled — rare sight

615 Future Awakened

 Doesn't seem to be Terror's Symbol

616 Future Awakened

 The attack looked more like magic

617 Future Awakened

 Either way, this enemy is bad news

618 Future Awakened

 The looks on Kokushi Musou's faces...

619 Future Awakened

 Beyond A-rank!?

620 Future Awakened

 A powerful enemy right out of the gate

621 Future Awakened

 A strategy meeting here? So it's THAT dangerous

622 Future Awakened

 Ryuga's the cautious type

623 Future Awakened

 Soraku wants to give it a try

624 Future Awakened

 Shizuka-sama's trust in Gaia runs deep

625 Future Awakened

 They can't settle on an answer

626 Future Awakened

 Oh, drone kamikaze!

627 Future Awakened

 Probing at zero risk — still cheating, as always

628 Future Awakened

 >627 Seriously, if the top overseas parties find out about this, won't they come to poach him?

629 Future Awakened

 >628 Odds are high

630 Future Awakened

 >628 For all we know they're already here

631 Future Awakened

 >628 They're definitely coming

632 Future Awakened

 Whoa — kamikaze with a disposable drone WHILE filming it from another drone. That's just broken

633 Future Awakened

 But what's it even doing to them? Magic?

634 Future Awakened

 The ground's all gouged up. From above — is something falling?

635 Future Awakened

 No clue what it is, but it's dodging?

636 Future Awakened

 Can SS see it?

637 Future Awakened

 >636 Seems like it

638 Future Awakened

 Is something chanting?

639 Future Awakened

 That's a chant, alright

640 Future Awakened

 Fireballs!?

641 Future Awakened

 Two attributes!? A Dead Wizard?

642 Future Awakened

 That fireball count is insane!?

643 Future Awakened

 Hey hey, what is with that NUMBER of fireballs...

644 Future Awakened

 Whoa, how is he dodging all this

645 Future Awakened

 HOW is none of it hitting?

646 Future Awakened

 That's god-tier dodging

647 Future Awakened

 Ah—

648 Future Awakened

 Eh—

649 Future Awakened

 Oh my?

650 Future Awakened

 That's all BZZT-BZZT though

651 Future Awakened

 No matter how you look at it, that's lightning magic

652 Future Awakened

 Three attributes. What kind of monster IS this?

653 Future Awakened

 A Lich!?

654 Future Awakened

 The info captions popped up! Bless!

655 Future Awakened

 Of course — captions!

656 Future Awakened

 A legendary-tier monster

657 Future Awakened

 Ah, three attributes really were too much, huh

658 Future Awakened

 So what now?

659 Future Awakened

 Strategy meeting's back on

660 Future Awakened

 Still no conclusion

661 Future Awakened

 They're deep in serious talk

662 Future Awakened

 They're mid-record-break. No way they want to give up easy

663 Future Awakened

 But can they beat THAT?

664 Future Awakened

 Opinions are split

665 Future Awakened

 What'll it be, Kokushi Musou?

666 Future Awakened

 Oh, they're asking for SS's opinion

667 Future Awakened

 Curious what he'll say

668 Future Awakened

 Oh! Good point!

669 Future Awakened

 Hoh, well said

670 Future Awakened

 Oh right, THAT guy exists

671 Future Awakened

 Completely slipped my mind

672 Future Awakened

 That means retreat is the only option

673 Future Awakened

 An explorer's got to stay alive first

674 Future Awakened

 Retreating, then

675 Future Awakened

 Retreat's the obvious call

676 Future Awakened

 Just making it this far is impressive enough

677 Future Awakened

 >676 For real

678 Future Awakened

 A wise decision

679 Future Awakened

 Once they decided to leave, they moved fast

680 Future Awakened

 Terror's Symbol might be getting close, after all lol

681 Future Awakened

 >There you go planting flags again...

682 Future Awakened

 Once you've decided to retreat, there's nothing good about lingering

683 Future Awakened

 Never thought the day would come when I'd watch a highest-floor record get set this live

684 Future Awakened

 >683 ikr

685 Future Awakened

 >683 My goosebumps STILL haven't gone down!

686 Future Awakened

 Huh?

687 Future Awakened

 Wait, you're kidding?

688 Future Awakened

 No, I can hear it too...

689 Future Awakened

 >680 IT REALLY SHOWED UP THOUGH! Own up to it!

690 Future Awakened

 >680 This is what happens when you say stuff like that...

691 Future Awakened

 My bad. Never dreamed it would actually...

692 Future Awakened

 No no, there's no way it's actually 680's fault

693 Future Awakened

 It looks SO strong...

694 Future Awakened

 The presence is unreal

695 Future Awakened

 So that's Terror's Symbol...

696 Future Awakened

 So it's fight or nothing, huh

697 Future Awakened

 Making use of the corner. Good decision

698 Future Awakened

 The Kokushi Musou members are tense

699 Future Awakened

 Hang in there, Kokushi Musou!

700 Future Awakened

 Swinging the drone around behind it?

701 Future Awakened

 In close-up, it's terrifying...

702 Future Awakened

 Fas—!?

703 Future Awakened

 It's fast!?

704 Future Awakened

 It's TOO fast!?

705 Future Awakened

 Can they actually beat this?

706 Future Awakened

 This is way too much

707 Future Awakened

 Something this strong just wandering across floors is demon-tier scary

708 Future Awakened

 They're not actually going to lose... right?

709 Future Awakened

 Ugh, my stomach's starting to hurt

710 Future Awakened

 >708 Don't say things like that again...

711 Future Awakened

 Soraku and Ryuga meeting it head-on?

712 Future Awakened

 Please, win this!

713 Future Awakened

 The tension is unreal

714 Future Awakened

 The slow approach is creepier

715 Future Awakened

 Whoa!? It's fast!?

716 Future Awakened

 It closed the distance in an instant!?

717 Future Awakened

 He actually blocked that!?

718 Future Awakened

 Soraku-sama, hang in there!

719 Future Awakened

 Blocking THAT?

720 Future Awakened

 Parrying a fist with a greatsword — what kind of speed does that take!?

721 Future Awakened

 Too fast to even follow!

722 Future Awakened

 Two-on-one and they're losing ground

723 Future Awakened

 Stone Needle, GO!

724 Future Awakened

 Eh?

725 Future Awakened

 It deflected ALL of them!?

726 Future Awakened

 That swordwork is no joke

727 Future Awakened

 Can they win this?

728 Future Awakened

 Gaia-sama, hang in there!

729 Future Awakened

 The drone slipped behind it!

730 Future Awakened

 It looks like it has room to spare against Kokushi Musou's full power...

731 Future Awakened

 So THIS is Terror's Symbol

732 Future Awakened

 Those two just shifted gears?

733 Future Awakened

 It's parrying THAT too!?

734 Future Awakened

 Guh — it handles even a drone kamikaze from behind

735 Future Awakened

 Wait — thanks to that, Ryuga's fist landed!

736 Future Awakened

 Cracks in the armor!

737 Future Awakened

 They can do this!

738 Future Awakened

 Keep pushing! Break through!

739 Future Awakened

 Whoa!? Did it get MAD!?

740 Future Awakened

 It's even FASTER now!?

741 Future Awakened

 So that wasn't even serious, huh

742 Future Awakened

 Bad — they're being pushed back

743 Future Awakened

 Ah, they're at the corner already

744 Future Awakened

 Gaia and Shizuka-san are falling back to the stairs

745 Future Awakened

 And beyond those stairs...

746 Future Awakened

 Any chance it and that scary three-attribute spell-slinger could take each other out?

747 Future Awakened

 >746 If it works, amazing. If it doesn't, worst case ever

748 Future Awakened

 >746 What if they team up and attack instead?

749 Future Awakened

 Sorry. Wishful thinking on my part

750 Future Awakened

 But I get the feeling

751 Future Awakened

 If it's a party wipe either way, worth a try?

752 Future Awakened

 >751 Never heard of dungeon monsters fighting each other

753 Future Awakened

 Stone Bullet HIT!

754 Future Awakened

 Ugh, the cracks are GONE

755 Future Awakened

 Water attribute, of all things

756 Future Awakened

 Self-repair on top of that strength... that's just unfair...

757 Future Awakened

 They can't win this...

758 Future Awakened

 Ah, the stairs are right behind them...

759 Future Awakened

 No moves left...

760 Future Awakened

 A combo move!?

761 Future Awakened

 Skills at the same time! But...

762 Future Awakened

 Ah, the two of them—

763 Future Awakened

 Wait, it LEAPT over them!?

764 Future Awakened

 It's going for Shizuka-san!?

765 Future Awakened

 Ah—

766 Future Awakened

 Eh?

767 Future Awakened

 Oh my?

768 Future Awakened

 What just happened?

769 Future Awakened

 Perfect timing!

770 Future Awakened

 A drone body slam!?

771 Future Awakened

 Now's their chance!

772 Future Awakened

 RUN!

773 Future Awakened

 GO!

774 Future Awakened

 They're already running!

775 Future Awakened

 And here in the clutch, the original drone goes wild!

776 Future Awakened

 Net and sticky goo!

777 Future Awakened

 Ugh, a Possessed Wonder Armor, NOW of all times!

778 Future Awakened

 What a nuisance

779 Future Awakened

 Ryuga & Soraku combo!

780 Future Awakened

 Brutal!

781 Future Awakened

 Kokushi Musou is fighting for their lives

782 Future Awakened

 Huh!?

783 Future Awakened

 Possession!?

784 Future Awakened

 Nice drone!

785 Future Awakened

 Here it comes — the natural enemy lol

786 Future Awakened

 And then, Wind Blade Wall!

787 Future Awakened

 Bad — Terror's Symbol caught up

788 Future Awakened

 Oh no, this is bad

789 Future Awakened

 Ah, the footage...

790 Future Awakened

 Both drones got left in the dust

791 Future Awakened

 The summoned drones are chasing after them

792 Future Awakened

 Please, let them escape safely!

793 Future Awakened

 Please let them be okay

794 Future Awakened

 There they are

795 Future Awakened

 It's catching up to them

796 Future Awakened

 Soraku and Ryuga are battered

797 Future Awakened

 Gaia-sama's arm!?

798 Future Awakened

 The healing magic can't keep up...

799 Future Awakened

 This is...

800 Future Awakened

 I can't watch...

801 Future Awakened

 Ah, Ryuga—

802 Future Awakened

 That much blood from his head...

803 Future Awakened

 Somebody help them!

804 Future Awakened

 It's too strong...

805 Future Awakened

 Nice Earth Wall, but—

806 Future Awakened

 It's getting chipped away

807 Future Awakened

 Even drone kamikazes are useless

808 Future Awakened

 SS is desperate to do something

809 Future Awakened

 The footage...

810 Future Awakened

 The original's still on the Possession Phantom?

811 Future Awakened

 Just beat it, looks like

812 Future Awakened

 Ah—

813 Future Awakened

 Eh?

814 Future Awakened

 Oh my?

815 Future Awakened

 Hm?

816 Future Awakened

 What?

817 Future Awakened

 A drone we've never seen before!?

818 Future Awakened

 A purple drone!?

819 Future Awakened

 Whoa!? Is that a TURRET!?

820 Future Awakened

 An actual turret!?

821 Future Awakened

 Hurry!

820 Future Awakened

 The Stone Wall's still holding!

821 Future Awakened

 It broke!

822 Future Awakened

 So fast — but will it catch up!?

823 Future Awakened

 Bad — it's about to catch them

824 Future Awakened

 Thunder Bullet Machine Cannon!?

825 Future Awakened

 It's going BZZT-BZZT

826 Future Awakened

 What IS this!? A lightning machine gun!?

827 Future Awakened

 No way! NO WAY!! It's working!?

828 Future Awakened

 What is even happening??

829 Future Awakened

 Whoa! Soraku's Triple Thrust lands clean!

830 Future Awakened

 SO badass! The tide has turned!

831 Future Awakened

 Amazing, just amazing!

832 Future Awakened

 Go! Do it! Finish it!

833 Future Awakened

 It's working! It's in pain! One more push!

834 Future Awakened

 Gaia's back! Finish it!

835 Future Awakened

 We'll win! WE'RE GONNA WIN!

836 Future Awakened

 UOOOOO! GO GO GO!

837 Future Awakened

 Ryuga's back up too!

838 Future Awakened

 That's Shizuka-san for you!

839 Future Awakened

 IT'S HEEEERE!

840 Future Awakened

 THEY GOT IIIIT!

841 Future Awakened

 CONGRATULAAAATIONS!

842 Future Awakened

 Gladd, everyone's safe, really gladd

843 Future Awakened

 Bad for my heart

844 Future Awakened

 >843 Thought my heart was gonna stop

845 Future Awakened

 Damn, I'm moved

846 Future Awakened

 The tears won't stop

847 Future Awakened

 My palms are drenched somehow

848 Future Awakened

 They showed us something incredible

849 Future Awakened

 Deeply moved, truly — but what on EARTH was that final drone...

850 Future Awakened

 >849 It's eating at me too...

851 Future Awakened

 It just appeared out of nowhere, huh

852 Future Awakened

 Is it SS-san's drone?

853 Future Awakened

 If so, why didn't he bring it out until now?

854 Future Awakened

 >853 Or maybe he COULDN'T?

855 Future Awakened

 It showed up right after they beat the Possession Phantom — bet he leveled up and unlocked it

856 Future Awakened

 >855 THAT's it!?

857 Future Awakened

 >855 Makes sense!

858 Future Awakened

 >855 Are you a genius!?

859 Future Awakened

 Which would mean SS really is an explorer...

860 Future Awakened

 >859 Careful — digging further is against the rules

861 Future Awakened

 No prying into identities — right, right

862 Future Awakened

 Still curious though

863 Future Awakened

 Let's wait until he says something himself

864 Future Awakened

 Another mega-episode

865 Future Awakened

 My tear ducts are wrecked

866 Future Awakened

 After this, nothing else is worth watching

867 Future Awakened

 >866 Going for round two

868 Future Awakened

 >867 GENIUS!

869 Future Awakened

 Anyway, what matters is everyone's safe

870 Future Awakened

 See you all at the next stream!

871 Future Awakened

 See you!

872 Future Awakened

 See ya!

873 Future Awakened

 Later!

999 Future Awakened

 The caliber of this board's members is high, so it's a relief I rarely need to appear. I imagine everyone will figure it out in due time, so allow me to mention it in advance.

SS's original drone is named "Asahi," his first summoned drone "Hayate," and the drone newly appearing this time "Shiden."

 I'd advise against digging any deeper than that.
