[EMERGENCY] [Anthem] [Toru & Tia] Quarantine Live Thread General 2 [Live Coverage Here]
845 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
I commented on Anthem's live stream and got yelled at, what's going on?
846 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Go read the thread template.

That said, I-chan and the others' movement speed is insane.
So this is A-rank explorers, huh.
When it comes to traversing a city, they're faster than any vehicle in the world.
848 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
The fact that they don't do this except in emergencies is considerate, huh.
If they moved like this normally, it'd be way too dangerous for civilians.
849 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Local residents are providing info in the stream comments.
Looks like local explorers happened to tune into the stream too, probably thanks to all the attention these past few days.
850 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Given Anthem's popularity, there'd be local explorers no matter what prefecture it is.
Viewer count was around 80k during the break, now it's already 260k.
851 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Any info on Toru-bro and the others heading to Sugai Dungeon?
852 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Nope.
It's apparently a D-rank dungeon in the middle of nowhere.
Probably no one even exploring it.
853 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Then isn't the dungeon branch office staff screwed?
854 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Probably too late.
Well, if Toru-bro and the others rushed over, they should handle it before the damage spreads to the city proper.
I don't know much about bro, but Tia-chan is stronger than Megumi and the others.
855 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Huge!
Crazy!
What the hell is that!
856 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
The one wearing the body cam was Ilseria, right?
That footage from a rooftop of some building... that size is...
857 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
The surrounding area is blacked out.
That hydra's slamming its snake heads into the ground — what's it doing?
858 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Well, it's a kaiju, so it's doing kaiju stuff, destruction-wise.
Seems like it just woke up and is instinctively destroying everything around it.
If that thing seriously starts moving, the damage to S City won't just be "bad" — it'll be catastrophic.
859 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
I-chan is so cool!
S-rank explorer as expected.
Anthem's leader is Meg-tan, but at times like this, I-chan is the one you count on.
860 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
That said, the ones charging in are Chizuru and Megumi though.
861 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Mimingvrede KITA━(・∀・)━!!!!
862 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
So they took S-rank materials to the elven country in Atlantis and had it made, right?
The dragon scale that Toru-bro got as a rare drop probably can't be processed through normal means either.
863 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
For those super-rare type things, if you don't have personal connections, the Labyrinth Agency takes custody, pays for the processing on their end, and gives the finished product back to the explorer. Something like that.
I've heard the reason they don't let them hit the open market is partly to keep them from flowing overseas.
Does that mean there's a slight chance Toru-bro could get dragon scale equipment?
864 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Whoa! So bright!
865 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
I mean, both the string and the arrows are made of magical power.
That thing's basically a magic projectile launcher shaped like a bow.
866 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
That said, for an elf, the fact that it's shaped like a bow might be what actually matters, no?
Even among high-rank explorers, there are guys who clearly fight in weird styles.
867 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
It's a shame it's from Ilseria's POV body cam.
Wait, no — is it actually super rare footage?
868 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
She fired!
Did she get it!?
869 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
>868 Stop flagging.
870 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Still, it's more like a suppressing shot to draw attention, plus firepower reconnaissance.
The middle snake head was severed by the shot, but it's already growing back.
Looks like you really have to cut off all of them at once.
Chii-chan and Meg-tan — are they going in?
871 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Watching their usual streams, you almost forget — but they're A-rank explorers, huh.
872 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
They cut it!
873 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
She fired!
874 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Did they get it!?
◇◇◇
890 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Looks like Megumi immediately went to help the victims.
That's what makes her the leader, huh.
891 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Chii-chan acknowledged it too — said she's glad Meg-tan is the leader.
892 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
I've watched that clip like a hundred times, it's so emotional.
893 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Huh?
894 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Oh shit.
895 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Isn't Megumi in trouble?
896 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
It regenerated!?
897 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Huh?
898 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
What the?
◇◇◇
981 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Holy shit.
I just saw something seriously insane.
What the hell was that.
982 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Let me organize this.
The 'Dungeon Rampage' at Noumi Dungeon produced a massive hydra.
The hydra destroyed the nearest Noumi Dungeon branch office, and was randomly wrecking the surrounding area when Anthem rushed in.
Ilseria's shot destroyed one of the three heads, but it regenerated immediately.
According to info, that's apparently how hydra species work — you need to cut off all the heads at the same time.
So the moment they saw Ilseria's shots were effective, Chizuru and Megumi charged in and pretty much instantly cut off the hydra's heads each.
Ilseria followed up and blew away the regenerated heads too, and it seemed like that was the end of it.
But — a new hydra (this time with five heads) emerged from inside the dead hydra's body.
When the five heads were born, they burst through the old body, flooding out massive amounts of blood-like stuff, and Megumi, who was near the hydra searching for victims, got swept away by the blood.
And here's where it gets crazy.
Though it was already crazy up to this point too.
Thanks to the body cam Ilseria was wearing while acting as a sniper on the rooftop, you could see something glowing being launched from way off in the distance.
Well, I can only say this in hindsight — at the time, watching the footage live, it was seriously incomprehensible.
Bottom line: Toru-bro and Tia, who had quickly suppressed the 'Dungeon Rampage' at Sugai Dungeon, rushed over at breakneck speed, and Tia hurled Toru-bro through the air.
Toru-bro surfed on the holy sword like a surfboard in midair and swung that 'Cursed Blade' once.
He was fairly close, but not within sword range.
Actually, he should've been sent flying, but he was also weirdly decelerating, which made no sense.
But anyway — Toru-bro on the holy sword, at a distance that shouldn't have been reachable, swung his cursed blade and all five hydra heads got slashed off at once.
Slash, splash.
The hydra died. Sweets (lol)
983 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
You can't even summarize this.
It's too incomprehensible.
984 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
First of all, why did the hydra regenerate?
Wasn't cutting off all the heads at the same time supposed to be the strategy?
And yet when Toru-bro cut the heads off, it just died.
985 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
The moment the three heads went down and five heads came out, Ilseria was absolutely pissed.
She tried to snipe it right away with that magic bow, but Toru-bro came flying in from the side faster.
Well, more accurately, getting thrown by a holy sword user and being sent flying was faster.
986 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Tia-chan is insane too.
She carried Toru-bro — who's probably not that fast on foot — from Sugai Dungeon at high speed and made it to Noumi Dungeon, which hadn't even been in combat that long.
Even if the monster from Kamioka Dungeon's 'Dungeon Rampage' was the "one big boss" pattern, she'd have had to one-shot it before heading over, otherwise there's no way she'd make it in time.
If you factor in movement speed too, isn't she genuinely faster than upper S-rank?
987 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Seriously makes no sense.
Come to think of it, thinking back to Sasamori Takeshi and those politicians — not to be rude, but how the hell did they puff their chests and act so high and mighty against monsters like that?
The former A-rank staff member got angry, but thinking about it now, they were clearly holding back and going easy on them.
988 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Once you reach A-rank, blowing away a corner of a government building is easy.
989 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Actually, do you even get fights that flashy inside dungeons?
Though you don't see monsters that big very often either.
990 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
You just answered your own question.
They're that big, so you can blast them with everything you've got and it'll hit.
Humanoid bosses in dungeons create actual offense-defense dynamics, so you don't charge in at full power like that unless it's for the killing blow.
991 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Check the stream! Meg-tan's been found! She's covered in blood but uninjured!
992 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Ugh... she got completely drenched when the hydra re-birthed.
993 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
The defeated monster itself disappears, but the splattered blood and organs don't — what's up with that? What's the mechanism?
994 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Who knows.
Humanity's current understanding of dungeons is probably not even halfway there.
And yet explorers suppress those dungeons and 'Dungeon Rampages' for us, bring labyrinth products back to the surface — I seriously can't thank explorers enough.
Anthem is a national project too, and there are people who gripe about it, but.
Those young girls are out there taking down monsters like that for real, and Megumi immediately went to search for victims.
That's impressive.
995 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
What "stampede" lol
Turns out it was nothing lol
996 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Oh, the cynical bastard from the other day?
Turns out us worrywarts were right all along.
Showing up at the end of the thread to drop a parting shot — nice try.
Already reported you. If it's the same IP, the admin will send you a warning.
997 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Parting shot lol lmao
You guys get way too fooled by trick videos like that lol
998 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
No need to engage with idiots.
Watch the stream. I-chan is picking a fight with Toru-bro.
999 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
For real.
They apparently didn't get along during the exploration either.
Toru-bro didn't hold back with Ilseria either, I think.
Something about her must rub him the wrong way.
So, do we need a new thread?
1000 Dungeon-bound Anonymous
Probably not for now.
Let's head back to the original thread.
