The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [58]

Kill them!

A dark, malevolent voice echoed ceaselessly in Dvalin’s mind.

Kill Barbatos. Tear apart that false Anemo Archon who deceived you!

The remnants of Dvalin’s rationality struggled against the voice, but it was drowned by the constant barrage of torment and rage.

Pain coursed through its body, sharp and unrelenting, a torment ...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [57]

Perhaps unsatisfied with his earlier provocation, Jia Changjiang extended one hand toward the pursuing Stormterror, raising his middle finger. “You bastard!!!”

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he retracted the middle finger, replaced it with his index, and turned his palm upward in a taunting gesture. Taking a deep breath, he bellowed through his makeshift megaphone:

“Come at ...

The Weapon Master Shall Never Die Bare-Handed in Genshin Impact [56]

“Barbatos!!!!”

The furious roar of a dragon echoed around the towering spire.

“Are you here to pay the price for Mondstadt?!!!”

Inside the tower, several Abyss Mages appeared in flashes of dark energy.

“Heh heh heh…”

One of the Abyss Mages sneered. “The Dragon of the East Wind shall serve its new master, not a powerless god who can only lament their...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [140]

A wave of dark energy erupted from Deoxys, sweeping across the arena and enveloping Mewtwo.

Unlike most Pokémon, who could barely cover a third of the battlefield with Dark Pulse, Deoxys’ attack spanned nearly the entire gym.

The Dark-type move was highly effective against the Psychic Mewtwo.

This became evident as cracks began to form on Mewtwo’s spherical psychic shield...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [139]

From the initial exchanges, Luo Yuan had already noted two important points.

The first was Mewtwo’s mobility.

When Deoxys had moved behind Mewtwo, the psychic Pokémon should have turned swiftly. But with the M2 Restraint armor, Mewtwo’s movements were stiff and limited.

It was clear that, despite the M2 Restraint being custom-made for Mewtwo, it still impacted its speed.<...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [138]

"Beedrill is unable to battle. The victory goes to Gengar!"

Matori, who had initially been worried for Luo Yuan, now wore an expression of disbelief as she watched his Gengar defeat Giovanni’s Beedrill.

Beedrill was Giovanni’s ace...

And it had lost?

It took Matori a few moments to process her surprise.

But for Giovanni, this loss was no cause for concern.

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [137]

At Giovanni’s command, Beedrill launched into Outrage.

Realizing that Beedrill lacked the stamina for a prolonged battle, Giovanni opted for a more aggressive strategy, just as Luo Yuan had done before.

He planned to rely on Outrage’s raw power to take down Gengar before Curse could fully drain Beedrill’s health.

As for the confusion that would inevitably follow Outrage?...

Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [136]

Mega Beedrill and Mega Gengar stood locked in a tense standoff.

Compared to Sabrina, who had previously used Mega Alakazam to battle Luo Yuan, Giovanni was far more knowledgeable about Mega Evolution.

And he was fully aware of Mega Gengar’s ability: Shadow Tag. This much was clear from Beedrill’s noticeably cautious movement since Gengar’s Mega Evolution.

The tension did...

As Saku tended to the porridge, he considered the system’s recent bonus—an extra hundred points of stamina.

Not a bad stroke of luck.

Once the vegetable porridge was ready, Saku carried it upstairs.

When he gently opened the door, he found Soyo exactly as he’d left her, resting quietly in bed.

“Did you fall asleep?”

Placing the bowl on her bedside table, ...

I Just Want a Single Ending [139]

After a struggle, Soyo managed to get out of bed and glanced at her pajamas, then at the casual clothes nearby.

She didn’t have the energy to change.

This will have to do.

Besides, an apron would be enough to cover her while making breakfast.

Leaning against the wall, she slowly made her way out of her room and carefully descended the stairs, gripping the rail...

“You’re a little wet from the rain—are you okay?”

Waiting for the elevator after entering the apartment building, Saku noticed the damp spots on Nagasaki Soyo’s clothes and asked with concern.

“It’s fine. I’ll just change in a bit,” Soyo replied with a light smile, folding her umbrella.

It was just a little rain. Hardly worth a fuss.

“True.”

S...

As expected, no surprises here.

Kamigawa Saku was more than satisfied with his rank.

Despite being in a band, learning bass, running an Instagram account, and making friends with numerous girls, he was still a top student, ranking first in his year.

He then glanced down the list to see where others had ranked.

Saku remembered that both Chihaya Anon and Togawa Sakiko gene...

In terms of galgame logic, this system message about “existing capturable characters” wasn’t hard to decode.

As a seasoned galgame player, Kamigawa Saku knew this territory well.

Sometimes, a popular galgame would feature side characters who, despite having no routes, gained massive fan followings.

In response, developers would release FD (fan discs) or DLCs to add new r...

“Chika went inside!”

Sara’s words were hurried, but she managed to convey the most critical piece of information succinctly.

Earlier, Kiichi had explained to Sara that once all three auxiliary cores were shattered, the alternate dimension tethered to the sealed space would manifest. When this happened, every entity within the sealed space would be forcibly transported to the a...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [139]

Sara and Chika hadn’t ventured far from the village.

Though Kiichi Hougen had assured them that the monsters near the village were mostly taken care of, it was better to stay cautious.

Not that Kiichi Hougen needed to worry about these two—Sara was mature for her age, and Chika was intimately familiar with the area and knew where it was safest.

Sara’s journey back had be...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [138]

“You’re cheating! Sara, you’re totally cheating!”

“Stop squirming! You’ll fall off!”

Sara tightened her grip on Chika’s legs, barely managing to prevent the girl from slipping off her back after a bout of chaotic movement.

Though honestly, even if Chika did fall, it wouldn’t be too serious as long as she didn’t hit her head.

“It’s my first time pl...

I Don’t Want to Be a Heroic Spirit [137]

Tiny shards of ice sparkled like stars, swirling dreamily around Kiichi Hougen.

“You’ve really outdone yourself… To end up like this and still be able to use sorcery, I have to say I’m impressed. It’s like waking up to find your phone under the bed—not earth-shattering, but still unexpected.”

Before her stood the altar serving as the auxiliary core of the formation. 2024-12-05 22:39:40 +0000 UTC View Post

“Sister Sara, is there any game you’d like to play?”

Chika’s sudden question left Sara stumped.

“Out of nowhere… um, I’ve never really played games. Does training in martial arts count as a game?”

During her time training under Kiichi Hougen, her master often told her to relax and play once her lessons were done. But Sara never knew what to play.

Games, a...

“Well, well, look at that proud face. Weren’t you the one who called us gutter rats earlier?”

The dark mage sneered as he tightened his control over the shadowy hands, dragging the elven archer closer. He clutched the bloody wound on his throat with one hand, trying to staunch the bleeding. Unlike the troll, he lacked the gift of rapid regeneration, and without immediate treatment, ...

In her dream, Nahida saw a solitary tree.

It grew ceaselessly, day and night, eventually bearing a single, radiant apple that glowed with life.

Its branches spread far and wide, its canopy shrouding the sky as golden leaves shimmered like sunlight. But more unsettlingly, its limbs intertwined to form a strange and grotesque image—a thousand hands and eyes.

The aura emanating...

By the evening of the same day, Goblin Slayer had already rallied the elven archer’s team and set out on the road.

Thanks to this, Nahida woke up in a moving carriage, her head cushioned by Mimiya’s soft lap. Despite this comfortable makeshift pillow, the constant jostling of the carriage on uneven roads kept her from fully relaxing. Road maintenance in this era was scarce at best, wi...

Considering that explaining her true identity to Goblin Slayer would be troublesome, Nahida decided to continue with her roleplaying.

“Don’t let my appearance fool you. As an elf, I’m far older than I look. And I know more than most adults—at least when it comes to understanding this world. I’m confident very few can match my knowledge.”

While it sounded like the boastfu...

Star Rail: Starting with a Lyre, Living off Busking [136]

Unlike the traditional portrayal of elves in many isekai worlds, where they are born from the World Tree, the elves of this world reproduce much like humans.

Although their fertility rate is relatively low, being a long-lived race affords them plenty of time to maintain a sustainable population size.

In terms of reproductive barriers, they aren’t strictly limited to their own kind...

Following the earlier commotion, Welt finally steered the conversation toward the real purpose of his arrival. However, such private matters concerning the Astral Express weren’t suitable for discussion in the bustling guild hall.

By now, the area was surrounded by elven onlookers, their expressions ranging from wary to outright hostile. Some were there to ensure the safety of the suppo...

The elfin child who appeared before everyone was indeed Venti—but not entirely Venti.

As mentioned earlier, unlike Barbatos, Venti’s gender was fluid, able to shift based on how others perceived him. Though Venti’s default form was that of a carefree young man, for someone who once shaped Dvalin with his bare hands, altering his appearance—or even "rebuilding" himself—was trivia...

Since receiving Dan Heng’s message aboard the Astral Express, Welt Yang had been restless. Concern for the difficulties the younger Trailblazers were encountering weighed on him heavily. It was, after all, the nature of a parental figure to worry about their children.

While Welt trusted both Dan Heng and Venti to look after March 7th, the situation on this planet was far more savage tha...

In the frontier town of Getro.

After hastily hiring a carriage at the station, Mimiya and her companions prepared to set out. By chance, their mission’s client happened to be working at the same station to make ends meet.

The boy had been reluctant to approach them at first, visibly uneasy at the sight of adventurers. It wasn’t until Zarius noticed his odd behavior and asked him...

Before coming here, March 7th had considered many possibilities—perhaps the people needing rescue were already dead, or they had been horribly mistreated. She had prepared herself mentally, determined to bring them back regardless of their condition.

But people like this—even if brought back—would live no better than walking corpses, wouldn’t they?

For them, was sur...

With the Nth metal removed, Martha lost her resistance to magic.

In that instant, Bruce cast a spell.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

The Body-Binding Curse struck Martha. Her arms and legs snapped together, her entire body stiffening like a wooden plank before collapsing to the ground.

For a moment, a pang of guilt pierced Bruce’s heart.
