Chapter 119: Star Fall (2)

Whoosh!

A blindingly bright light. The feeling of his body floating in the air. And

Powww!

Gwuhh. Big small human. Sleeps well.

Notum

I didnt know that a person whos so alert in a fight could be that sound asleep. How can you sleep in this mess? With senses as sharp as a werewolf?

Borka

It means this place is mute territory, even if it looks safe. Most Rank 9 mutes are based on slimes in the first place. Low-rank slimes have a body made mostly of water, so they usually spend most of the day underground but have a core thats suffering from hypothermia 24 hours a day. Its a creature thats just created!

Pwhk!

In a terrible way!

Good morning, Professor. You seemed tired, I am sorry to wake you. Slime-type Rank 9 mutes have been lingering around the camp all night, so we are taking shifts on patrol except for you. They look weak, but they are still dangerous to touch because you get infected, as they are mutes. Some are physically dangerous as well, like the acid or boulder slimes.

Aldrich, Mage Ottman!

Hm? What is the matter, Professor?

Ahem, hm, its nothing! The morning breeze is nice! Ah, how refreshing!

Looking at my comrades in GG, I could feel my nose sting a little. I had completely forgotten about them because of the mess outside, but I logged out of here in a pretty urgent situation as well.

The impact sounds that I heard when I woke up was the sound of the Professor Knight Party kicking away the slimes that had gathered at their camp overnight. The Slime-type Rank 9 mutes, which the mutes usually deploy for collecting resources, have a habit of moving in a half-liquified state through the ground or underground wells and approach any source of heat they sense, which was why they were attracted to our campsite.

Do you still have some dark magic lingering in your head? Is this guy okay?

Lets just say I learned the value of a normal body. Ah, this is the life! It hits differently when you have two hands!

After scooping himself a bowl of the stew cooking on top of the campfire, he also followed his companions and kicked away the slimes. Kicking away slimes in the forest with dried fish in one hand and soup in the other as he inhaled the fresh air, it felt like he was on a nice vacation.

- takealook : Tip / When you want to enjoy having a terrible Glass Body trait character in the game? Add a Type 3 mutant to your body in real life. The game will feel like paradise.

- professor : shaddup

- Noru_is_druig : Tip / If youre able to shut down the Domes Executive Department, demolish the Raptors tank army, and beat up a named Type 3 mutant like Old Picture singlehandedly, then you can enjoy playing a randomized character in GG Realistic Mode.

- professor : bastard. i can combine the chat again if you want.

- takealook : mb

- Noru_is_druig : My apologies oh great professor.

- Numb3rtree : To threaten your viewers with a peaceful chatroom. Youve grown as a streamer sir!

======

Before he came into the game, he tried to clear up the traffic in the chatroom, but ultimately just split the chat into two rooms. One for the new users that entered in the last 14 days, and one exclusively for the original residents of the Area 47 chatroom. Obviously, the chat he was looking at in GG was the original chat. He did have the other one open all the way in the corner too, but

======

- Armbarssador : Helloo! We exist too!

- novemv : Thought he was joking when he said he streamed.

- Ticorita : fr. isnt he like super rich if hes the leader of BDSM? whys he even streaming?

- D.Asset3315 : Streamer Gyosu Park has a personal reason for playing GG. He is a streamer officially contracted with the Dome, so any spamming, rude comments, cyberbullying are subject to ban, or tracking in serious cases.

- Ticorita : LMAOOOO tracking?? and how are you gonna do that? hack the GG code? go ahead and try r*tards!

- D.Asset3315 : Player Ticorita. Posted 7 days ago [damn, didnt know the dome can make lightning shoot upside down. Thats fing epic.] / Posted 34 days ago [heard other areas are in a sandstorm but skies over here are crystal clear. drying the laundry outside.] / Posted 68 days ago [why the psycho gangs around my house all gotta be crazy murderers. i want good pizza too] / Based on these posts, weve estimated Player Ticoritas house to be among the shelters located in one of the 15 safe basins in the high crime areas of Area 46. Do you wish to continue?

+ player Ticorita has left the chatroom.

- Ulyssysmoa : lmaooooo he goneee

- Ngabius : That Gyosu Park guy must be one special guy for the Dome to use an IT team on him like that. Dont they usually only do that for rankers?

- aisosi32 : He is on par with rankers in the first place. Its one of the most popular streams these days. Since the rankers are coming back to World 3 after realizing that theres no hope for the current World 4 seed. His playstyles pretty unique too.

======

It was still too chaotic. Thankfully, the Dome sent him a Streamer Support Team or something like that and cleared things up for him and talked with the original guys. If it werent for them, he would have spent the entire day answering questions.

Anyhow, whats important is that he was in an environment where he could enjoy the game again.

Mmm this wont do. [Cold Swallow]!

Splooosh!

While I was eating breakfast and sorting out non-game-related things, Ottman finally decided to use magic. Centering around where Ottman was standing, the ground started to moisten, and with the sound of the campfire going out, the area around the camp was drenched in cold water.

There will be no end to this if we continue. These monsters dislike cold water, so lets use this moment to move camp.

Hm if you cannot chant, then are spells okay?

Ah, uh, yes. That should be fine.

I see. Then how about we try this?

What is this exactly?

It is a bit of a loophole, but we can try the method that knights use.

When Ottman waved his hand, a small round shield of water appeared in front of him.

What is this?

Its, well a water shield.

Yes. It is a water shield. Then [Water Shield]!

Splshh!

Next to the small shield appeared a slightly stronger-looking shield.

I will say this beforehand, but these all use the exact same amount of mana. You do not need to pay much attention to the image inside or combine it with a hand motion or chant. And

Clack, clk, cack!

[Even if they crack and break, you will never be able to cut through the ocean. Ottman Bodlairs, Water Shield.]

Tzzing!

What appeared this time was a shield twice the size of my height with a smooth and solid surface, like it was created out of a blue gem, yet still somehow looking gentle. It was a beautiful creation that was worthy of being called a shield of water. He was once again reminded that Ottman was a high-ranking mage.

This is the Water Shield interpreted by me. Hand motions, chants, and spells. These are all tools to strengthen ones image. Even if you take out the chant, you should be able to use a decent level of magic as long as the rest are detailed enough. The next one is a method Im not too familiar with since water mages do not use it that often ahem. This may be a little loud, just to let you know.

Huuuup

After taking a deep breath, Mage Ottman yelled at the top of his lungs.

WA! TER! SHIELD!!!!

Pwshhhhhh!

When he did so, a massive, violent whirlpool of water appeared, the complete opposite of the previous spell. The magic that was twice the size of the proper method that Ottman used looked more like an attack spell than one for defense.

Cough, cough! Eummh, this method tires me easily. The last one I showed you is the method that knights or fire-type mages favor.

Uh yelling?

I would say otherwise, but that is indeed an accurate explanation of the method. Its to force ones determination onto the image. As you can see, the image itself is slightly distorted, but its power is certainly strong. Have you seen knights fight before? Like a battle to the death, or one on a similar level?

Yes.

Professor thought of the battle in Touran at Ottmans question.

They say that in a battle between high-ranking knights, they exchange dozens of battles among each other in the blink of an eye. Before they swing their sword, they check the opponents movement and which direction their eyes are trained on, and use those to trick the opponent. They also calculate the land for every step they take, and so on So they have many things to take into consideration before they even start clashing swords. But even in those situations where the exchanges happen at a speed close to instinctual movements, knights still waste their precious breaths to yell out spells.

Ottman picked up a couple tree branches on the ground, then threw them at the proper water shield and the large, unstable one. One bounced off with a clack- sound, and the other

Krggkgkk!

was grinded to dust by the vortex floating in the air.

They dont do that because they are dumb. Actually, they are indeed dumb. The way knights express their strength in the world is the opposite of what mages do. They isolate themselves from the world.

Isolate?

Yes. While a mage changes their surroundings through their strong will, knights become beings that are completely detached from the world. Continuous training, self-reflection, and cultivation. Through that, they expand on the concept of being called me, and grow into a being that dwells beyond the worlds laws.

The most representative concept of that is aura. They use the same mana that mages use, but what the knights create is a form of power that rejects the world and destroys anything and everything. In contrast, although mages alter the natural flow of the world, they still create something that exists within the world.

Aura

The bright color of the aura, similar to an early sunset, was coming from Charlottes sword. A skill that is said to cut through anything in the world. An alien substance that does not exist naturally in the world.

According to knights, growing ones aura is the act of emptying out the sword in ones heart. To become one with the sword, or something like that, but I do not exactly know what they mean by that

To extract ones own will onto the sword.

The creation of the aura that Ottman heard from the knights. That was the description of an NPCs will, one of the most fundamental compartments of this GG world.

Each living organism is given one portion worth of will equal to its existence that they can use to control what happens in GG. And dragons have a massive capacity within their souls, which is how they use their will worth hundreds and thousands of people to use Dragon Speech. The knights and warriors of this world are just wielding their portion of their GG authority, which could also be called their will or soul, and using the keyword isolation in order to extract that and apply it to their sword or body! My goodness!

After hearing Ottmans explanation, he understood why the aura has such a destructive nature. That was only natural! What was applied to that sword wasnt just energy or power, but a source of power from GG itself! Using aura wasnt a concept of cutting or destroying, but instead slipping between and separating it! By pushing against their own will, they separated themselves from the laws of the world!

As Professor stared into the air with a stunned face, Ottman nodded as if he had forgotten.

That reminds me, you are a mage, but you use your body more often than mana. You should know better than me about that concept, then. Anyway, the last magic I showed you is used in that way. Words contain power. The power to transform an abstract thought into reality. The stronger the will you put into those words, the stronger their nature becomes. That is how knights apply their dozens of years of experience, memories, and movements into one word when they swing their sword. The moment they speak it, the countless times that they spent training that action become actualized by the word and are applied to their sword. The attack method called skills was created in such a way.

Splshhh!

Watching the water shield collapse behind him, Ottman smiled widely.

This method has neither a proper way nor loopholes. You have to think not like a mage but like a warrior charging into a battle. My life depends on this magic! I will die if I dont use it! You embed that sort of will into the magic and combine it with hand motions and your image. But I will say in advance, it is extremely inefficient.
