Danma: Danganronpa, but Monster Hunter!

Because Flame discovered that as Ais gradually loosened up her movements during training, even while wearing heavy armor, he was experiencing dizziness more and more frequently due to various recoil forces.

Although hunters have high resistance to stun, even if they are knocked unconscious, they will only stand there dazed for a while, and will not lie on the ground for several minutes before regaining consciousness.

The problem is that every time he gets dizzy, Ais naturally disrupts her offensive rhythm.

Although Flame had warned Ais that in situations like this, she should not hesitate and should continue attacking him, Ais would still stop attacking and wait for him to wake up from his stun, and would be extra careful to control herself in the next few minutes.

This raging fire is unbearable.

Being knocked unconscious was to be expected, but not being beaten was unacceptable.

efficient!

efficiency!!

Fine, fine. Since Ais won't follow up with an attack to wake him up while he's dazed, he might as well be even tougher on himself.

I just fainted and it didn't work!

Unexpectedly, even after doing all that, they still couldn't push the durability or strength attribute to S-rank.

It's no joke that adventurers' stats become increasingly difficult to improve as they progress.

Lieyan sighed softly to himself, his fingers tapping lightly on the parchment.

Even with his current foundation, breaking through to the S-level still seems somewhat difficult. No wonder Ais, who has the fastest leveling speed besides cheat codes, took a year to level up from LV1 to LV2.

(But Ais was only eight years old when she reached LV·2... I suggest applying for UNESCO World Heritage status here.)

After your ability value reaches A-level, the time required to improve it further will increase exponentially.

'In that case... we need to reconsider the idea of ​​trying to bring durability and strength as close as possible to the upper limit of S999.'

While my dexterity and agility are still improving, judging from the growth rate, a dexterity of B and agility of A should be the limit I can reach. The growth of these two is going relatively smoothly so far, so I don't need to worry about them too much. The main focus should be on endurance and strength.

Constantly pushing the limits doesn't seem to offer very high cost-effectiveness.

Blazing Flame thought silently.

Judging from the current trend, he has a chance to reach the maximum ability value of 999.

However, it is also foreseeable that in the final stretch before reaching his limit, Flame may spend more time than he accumulated the previous nine hundred-plus ability points.

The price-performance ratio is absolutely terrible.

As for breaking the 999 limit...

To be honest, Lieyan had considered it before, but as it turns out, while he might be a genius in the conventional sense, his skill level was still somewhat lacking compared to the official cheat codes.

We're all adults. Although we all say we want it all, it's better to be more pragmatic when it comes to actually doing it.

The character Flame doesn't have any stat-boosting abilities; his only advantage is himself, who connects the two worlds. And whether it's Flame Village or Orario, they both adhere to the same principle.

You can only achieve something through hard work.

Whether it's physical training or skill growth, if you want to improve your abilities quickly, you have to be more ruthless than everyone else.

There is no other way.

In short, let's continue training at the current standard for another three days. Judging from the current rate of ability growth, we should be able to push both strength and endurance to the middle or high of the S-level in three days.

Moreover, my new equipment should be finished tomorrow. The higher-level equipment is heavier than the lower-level equipment, so the training effect should be better.

As for the Agility and Dexterity attributes... we'll just have to wait until tomorrow after the Charge Blade upgrade is complete, then go to the dungeon and find the Minotaur for specialized training.

Including tomorrow, four days from now, regardless of what level the ability stats have reached, let's upgrade them.

Lieyan made up his mind.

Chapter 76: He's gone mad!

"How are you feeling? Do you need any adjustments?"

A deep, powerful, aged voice emanated from within the residential building.

An elderly man with white hair but a straight back extended his hands, marked by the passage of time and fire, to help the person in front of him adjust his new armor.

"Perfect as always, no adjustments are needed at all."

A voice came from beneath the armor.

Fully armed, Flame pushed up the visor hanging from his helmet, moving his armored body with ease. The heavy armor, with its exaggerated design and seemingly formidable defensive capabilities, moved smoothly with his movements.

The fact that I didn't feel any discomfort perfectly illustrates how superb the manufacturer's craftsmanship is.

"What about the weight?" Daowen asked again, his experienced and sharp eyes scrutinizing Lieyan, his gaze direct and to the point, like the blade he was constantly honing.

During the forging process, he added some metal materials he had traded with the Loki Familia, namely [Durable Steel]. After testing, he used this material, along with leftover materials from the Rock Dragon, to reinforce the Barroth's armor and waist armor.

However, although this material is indeed very hard and can complement the Barroth's equipment perfectly, it is also quite heavy. The Barroth armor and waist armor reinforced with Barroth are almost half again as heavy as before.

"It feels heavier than before, but it's okay." Flame clenched his fist, full of confidence.

He was prepared for the armor to become heavier, and he was no longer the same as before. In just three days, his abilities had improved considerably, and the armor he used to wear now felt like a light suit of armor.

Although this armor is much heavier than before, it feels about the same as the armor he wore before he became an adventurer. Once he gets used to it for a while, or once he reaches LV2, the weight of this armor will become negligible again.

"Alright, now let's test the weapons." Daowen reached out and effortlessly pulled up the shield axe beside him, tossing it towards the flames.

Flame easily caught it, skillfully pulled the sword from the shield, and then his eyes lit up.

The once simple broadsword now gleamed with silver light and was incredibly sharp. With just a slight swing, it produced a sharp whistling sound as it cut through the air. This was true not only for the broadsword but also for the edge of the shield.

"Like armor, the shield axe incorporates hardened steel. Compared to the iron ore originally used to make the shield axe, hardened steel is harder and more wear-resistant. However, this material does not conduct energy well, so the core part retains the original structure, and only the easily worn blade is replaced. As a result, the weight of the shield axe has not increased much."

He held his hands together as he explained.

"Okay, not bad."

After swinging it a couple of times to assess the weapon's enhanced performance, Flame sheathed the single-edged broadsword.

He planned to conduct the specific weapons tests in the dungeon. He'd been separated from the Niu Niu for several days, and they must be missing his two big machines.

Sigh, I was just saying I'd let the cows try a new way to play, like the walking chainsaw, but the training with the Hunting Horn and Spartacus was just too good, and I couldn't help but get hooked on it.

Fortunately, he has plenty of time today, which is just enough to fulfill his previous promise.

Indeed, a reliable and honest young man like him must keep his promises.

Having finished dealing with the new weapons and equipment, and still having other work to do, the old man with the sword-patterned hair informed the others and prepared to leave. But before leaving, he gave Lieyan a deep look.

"If you feel tired, just rest at home."

Although Daowen was old, his eyes were not cloudy. Every day when Lieyan returned to Yanhuo Village, although there was no obvious difference on the surface, Daowen could tell that Lieyan was tense and desperately staggering forward.

But that won't work. No string can stay taut forever without breaking, and no one can run forever without falling.

Therefore, a taut string needs to be relaxed occasionally, and a person who is running also needs to rest, so that they can better carry out what they want to the next stage.

Rushing things will only bring forward the moment you don't want to see.

Just like he used to be.

Daowen didn't want to see this happen.

But he also knew that people caught up in the situation wouldn't listen to advice at this time; the more they were advised, the more stubborn they would become. So he didn't say anything more. After speaking, he didn't wait for Lieyan's reply and left on his own.

What? Old man, you look so handsome.

Watching Daowen's departing figure, Lieyan felt a warmth in his heart.

He understood Daowen's thoughts and was aware of his own current situation, but he also knew that now was not the time to stop.

Wind God Dragon, Thunder God Dragon, Thunder God Dragon is the origin of a hundred dragons that combines wind and thunder.

Next, Lanlong will appear, descending the mountain in search of powerful individuals.

There are also the Silver Dragon and the Abyss Dragon, which caused the bizarre catastrophe.

These formidable opponents in the game would be nothing short of catastrophic in the real world. And these monsters are the very opponents that Blaze and his companions will face in the future.

To fight these monsters, the only way is to keep running, keep getting stronger, and make use of everything at your disposal to have even a sliver of hope of victory.

but,

This is not the mission of being a flame.

Rather, it's the romance of mortals wanting to defy fate.

If the sky is broken, mend it; if a mountain blocks the way, move it; if a flood comes, control it; if the sun wants to kill someone, shoot it down.

Those born into a rebellious nation are inherently incapable of accepting fate passively!

Although this might sound a little too melodramatic,

But the old man with the knife-like pattern

My desire to become stronger comes from the bottom of my heart!

Whether it's a monster or an ancient dragon, they've already come to this world. Wouldn't it be a waste not to see them? Besides, the scenery I can see has doubled now.

The deepest dungeon walkthrough, the truth behind the dungeon's creation, the three still-living adventurers, and the most ferocious one-eyed black dragon—

The visible scenery has increased dramatically! Doubled! Increasing dramatically!

It's not just Finn and his friends who have a sense of novelty when seeing new things; Flame's yearning for new things is fifty times stronger than theirs!!!

Flame removed his helmet and placed it in the coffin bag beside him. Then he rolled up a floor-length cloak and wrapped it tightly around his armor.

The Jokers' emblem swayed slightly on the cloak.

"It's time to go!"

Chapter 77: The Great Collapse!!

"Ula!"

Starting from the thirteenth floor, the dragon leaped down two floors in one breath and entered the familiar fifteenth floor of the dungeon, letting out a joyful roar.

To familiarize himself with his new equipment, Flame became even more active than before.

Along the way, not only the target monster Minotaur, but even fast monsters like Cerberus and Unicorn Rabbit, which Blaze usually wouldn't actively pursue and eliminate, couldn't escape his righteous punishment.

After a period of testing, Lieyan has gained a basic understanding of the performance of his equipment.
