Episode 77: Kakgaridan vs. Gobtaro
~~Zaus’ Perspective~~
Gobtaro’s body is surrounded by lightning. The results of his training are showing. He’s desperately worked to acquire the Seven-Ring Strengthening Chakra Evoque.
Kakgaridan’s level is 2400. On the other hand, Gobtaro’s level is 8000. The match is set.
“Now, it’s time, Kakgaridan. Let’s do this, Gob!”
“W-Wait!!”
“Huh? The match has already started, Gob. Weren’t you supposed to not wait, Gob?”
“W-What… What level is that!?”
“I can’t see the stats, so I don’t know, Gob.”
“It’s level 8000!? How did you, who was level 800, become ten times stronger, Gob!?”
“Oh, this is the Seven-Ring Strengthening Chakra Evoque, Gob.”
“W-What’s that…!?”
“It’s a magic developed by the Great Sage Caphrodyte, Gob. But you need to raise your proficiency to use it, Gob. I worked hard in training to raise my proficiency level to 10, and finally unlocked the first stage of the chakra, Gob.”
“S-So, that’s how you increased your level tenfold?”
“That’s right, Gob.”
“T-That’s unfair! We can’t allow such abilities!”
“It’s not unfair, Gob. I earnestly trained and acquired this skill, Gob. It’s a skill that requires raising proficiency to use, Gob.”
“You’re kidding! How can a goblin be stronger than me, an elite demon! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!! Uwaaa!!”
“Haaahh… Earth Dragon of the Land, grant me your fang…”
Oh, he’s charging power at the tip of his spear. It’s a spear skill.
“Take this! ‘Ultimate Earth Dragon Fang Thrust’!!”
Hmm, his attack power has increased.
“Hahaha! My special move, ‘Ultimate Earth Dragon Fang Thrust,’ powered up by Idream Dal-sama’s blessings! Its power is three times that of the normal level! In other words…”
2400 times 3 is an attack power of level 7200! He’s approaching Gobtaro’s level!
“Die with discipline!”
“Then I’ll use my special move too, Gob! ‘Gob Gob Punch!'”
“What!? Gobtaro’s level has exceeded 10,000!?”
Hmm. Gobtaro’s invented ‘Gob Gob Punch.’ It’s a special move that explodes with inner power, doubling his level temporarily. In other words, with level 8000 doubled, Gobtaro’s attack level has effectively risen to 16,000.
“Gob Gob Gob Gob Gob!”
It’s Gobtaro’s rapid-fire attack. Several punches hit Kakgaridan’s body.
“Aaargh!!”
And then, a big blow catches his jaw.
“Gob!!”
“Guuueh!!”
Kakgaridan is sent flying.
Yes, the match is over. Huh?
“W-W-W-Wait… still…”
Oh boy. Covered in blood. Complex fractures are confirmed. With that, there’s no chance of winning.
Suddenly, one of the Sai warriors waiting in the back threw an item.
“Lord Kakgaridan! Take this!!”
“Th-Thank goodness…”
It seems to be an elixir. Drinking it will recover all the damage received.
“Hahaha! I’m back at full strength with the effects of the elixir!!”
Oh well.
“Hey. Wasn’t this supposed to be a fight without support?”
“Hahaha!! Didn’t I tell you? It’s all part of discipline and strategy!”
It’s like changing the rules after the fact, quite convenient.
“Hahaha. As a bonus, let me tell you. Sai warriors are monsters specialized in battles. So, they can’t use healing magic. However, they can use support magic specialized in battles, Gob!”
Oh, I see. I’ve had trouble with that magic from Sai warriors in the game. It’s troublesome. It relentlessly wears down your stamina. I know it.
“There’s a magic called ‘Attack Power Doubler’! This support magic doubles the attack power, !! Now, cast it on me!!”
“Ha! Attack Power Doubler!”
“Hahaha! With this, my attack level is doubled! The attack power is effectively 4800!”
Hmm. However, it still doesn’t reach the level of 10,000 for Gobtaro.
“Nufufufu… And now, for my ultimate move.”
“Oh?”
His ultimate move, huh? It’s like something from a manga. I never thought I’d hear that word in this world.
“Idream Dal-sama’s ultimate technique bestowed upon him. Super Demon Awakening.”
Oh boy. Isn’t this the enhancement privilege of the enemy monsters from Breque 3?
“This technique allows you to increase your attack power by five times in exchange for halving your lifespan!!”
Oh, it’s five times, huh? I’ve never seen numerical values like this in the game before. It’s such a hassle. It activates when it seems like you’re about to be defeated. It’s like cheating, you know? There was a storm of complaints about it online.
“Whoaahh!! Super Demon Awakening!! Activate!!”
Kakgaridan is enveloped in jet-black flames.
“Hahaha! Behold! With this, my attack power level is effectively 24,000!!”
Hmm. Now he’s surpassed Gobtaro’s level.
“Hahaha! I’ll beat you to a pulp! Even if you ask me to wait, I absolutely won’t! Kuhaha! By allowing me to use the ultimate technique, your fate has been sealed!!”
Sigh… Oh well.
“You know. You’ve been given everything by someone else.”
“What!?”
“You had your subordinates cast Haste magic on you. And all the other enhancements came from Idream Dal, right?”
“S-Same goes for Gobtaro! He got stronger through the Great Sage’s magical research!!”
“Don’t get it twisted. You only received the extent of the enhancements, but it was Gobtaro’s effort that made him stronger.”
“What!?”
“This guy worked hard every day. Sometimes, he’d forget to sleep. He trained so hard, little by little, to get stronger. And then, he mastered the Seven-Ring Strengthening Chakra Evoque and developed the Gob Gob Punch.”
“Haha! So what! Useless effort is garbage! You can never surpass the wall named talent! Goblins are just trash monsters after all!”
“Don’t underestimate effort.”
“Gyahahaha! What’s that!?”
It seems he’s noticed something amiss.
“What!? What’s with that fist!?”
Flames were dwelling in Gobtaro’s fist. It’s as if his inner fighting spirit manifested into flames, burning fiercely.
“I wanted to become stronger. So, every day… every single day… I trained little by little to get stronger.”
“W-What’s with that fist!?”
“This is my trump card, Gob. I call it the Gob Gob Punch Burst!”
“What!? What!?”
“I wanted to make the Gob Gob Punch even stronger, Gob. So, I trained desperately every day, and that’s how it gained the fire attribute, Gob.”
“…W-What? Could it be… What’s your status!?”
Hehehe. This is Gobtaro’s true worth.
“What!? Ridiculous! L-Level 40,000!?”
Yes, this is the result of effort.
The effect of the Gob Gob Punch Burst is to attack with five times the level.
With 8,000 times 5, it’s level 40,000.
Since Kakgaridan’s level is 24,000, the outcome is clear.
“W-Wait!”
“Gob Gob Gob Gob Gob Gob!! Burst!!”
“Aaaggghhh!!”
Ah, this is definitely a knockout. He’ll probably lose consciousness.
*Gasp*
And, as expected, he fainted, his eyes rolled back.
Hmm. As expected.
I knew this would happen.
The Sai warriors who watched also knew.
Now then.
“You guys. You seem to be misunderstanding something, so let me make it clear.”
This is something I want to clarify.
“Gobtaro, come here for a moment.”
“What is it, Gob?”
“Attack Power Doubler.”
“Whoa! That startled me, Gob!!”
Hmm.
With this, his attack power level has doubled.
In other words, it’s effectively level 80,000.
“I can use support magic, you know. But I didn’t use it this time. I didn’t provide any support. This victory is entirely Gobtaro’s ability. Remember that.”
The Sai warriors turned pale.
There was a tumult of confusion, and the sound of grinding teeth.
Now then, it’s time to deal with the unconscious Kakgaridan.
But it won’t end with just this.
Insulting my subordinates is a serious offense. They’ll have to pay for it accordingly.
────
Next time, Kakgaridan will face even further humiliation…
