Chapter 2041 Anyway, it's just Iaijutsu
【Wind Chime Dragon Flute/Legendary】

[Music/Dexterity/Illusion/Change/Madness]

The cruiser BA pulled out a long stick with a blue-gold body, decorated with silver patterns, with a wind chime embedded at the top, holes at both ends for adjusting the pitch of a flute, and in the middle section were the very conspicuous black buttons of a Western musical instrument, the flute.

Although the cruiser BA wore a veil that partially obscured his face, AAA could still feel the intense gaze emanating from it. He understood that AAA wanted his evaluation of the equipment.

To be honest, he loved the katana and had never been interested in other weapons, but considering this person's history of attacking teammates, he still gave a serious evaluation.

"Hmm, it looks like there are three..."

"That's right, this is not only a stick, but a three-section stick. Each section is a separate flute, with the throats of the Hellfire King Bat, the Sea King Sirens, and the Cloud Sea Songstress Bird embedded in it, specializing in three different styles of music: attack, debuff, and buff."

Before AAA could finish speaking, the cruiser BA started chattering away, and then stared intently at AAA, making AAA's scalp tingle.

"I looked at the wind chimes at the top..."

"That's right, it's made from the hollow bones of a Wind Spirit Dragon. It has only one purpose: to use its ethereal quality to instantly clear all the music and prevent the music from getting mixed up..."

AAA is really good at talking. He was glad he was wearing a full-coverage helmet, otherwise the subtle emotions he was expressing would have been seen by the cruiser BA.

"This weapon has a very high skill ceiling, but its difficulty level is hellish, equivalent to using three sticks and flutes at the same time."

"That's right, you really know a lot!"

BA's eyes were practically glowing like light bulbs. Seeing that she wanted to continue, AAA immediately said, "So, can we set off now?"

“If other guys manage to break through the destination, they will undoubtedly come and steal our prey.”

"Hmm." The cruiser BA's voice instantly returned to its cool tone as it slung the wind chime and flute behind its back.

The two fell into a deathly silence in an instant, as if whoever spoke first would die immediately.

"...Speaking of which, is your name the earliest cheat code, the BA cheat code from Konami's Gradius?" AAA couldn't help but ask.

"That's right! I didn't expect you to know about something so old! Actually, I originally planned to use Contra BABA, but..."

This girl really only talks about things that interest her. AAA's eye twitched. He had to choose between dead silence and liveliness, and he would choose liveliness. At least the girl's voice was quite nice.

There was one thing he really couldn't stand: every time the cruiser BA spoke for a while, it would suddenly stop, as if testing him, waiting for him to continue. But the good news was that as long as he said half a sentence, she would excitedly chatter on and on about what followed.

This is practically torture.

AAA couldn't help but reflect on whether he had been too self-centered in the past, causing such trouble for others, and whether what was happening now was perhaps his punishment.

Fortunately, they were not far from their destination, and a warm, humid breeze swept over them.

"We've arrived." AAA pulled out a specially provided map. This was the Gluttony Region, located in an extremely fertile volcanic crater basin with a warm and humid climate and abundant resources. According to the map's annotation, there was an excess of "fire generating earth," meaning the soil had been over-nurtured, resulting in unrestrained production and consumption. Furthermore, because it was located in a volcanic crater basin, it formed a hearth fire, causing the atmosphere to be hot and full of desire, as greasy as a boiling hot pot.

Lacking the purity of "water" and the restraint of "metal," energy only undergoes two extreme processes of accumulation and consumption, unable to circulate effectively, leading to a stagnant and unrestrained energy form, which ultimately forms gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins.

The annotations written by the forgers are not just simple explanations, but also a strategy based on feng shui.

Since gluttony here stems from an imbalance of the five elements in Feng Shui, conversely, balancing the five elements will cause extra damage to gluttony, which is a special attack.

The equipment prepared for AAA and cruiser BA is also based on recommendations.

【Greatsword: Eight-Sided Frost】Although it is of the ice attribute, it will melt into the water attribute in greenhouse areas. The sound released by the flute as music is classified as the wind attribute, and wind is a form of metal.

Unfortunately, this is a place that no one has set foot in yet, and they do not know what the sinful beastmen of this Sinful Region are like.

AAA walked in front, his right hand gripping the hilt of the Eight Directions Frost sword, constantly observing his surroundings. His heavy weight left footprints on the ground. The cruiser BA followed behind, its light footsteps landing in AAA's footprints without leaving a trace.

Suddenly, a slight tremor came from beneath my feet, which grew closer and closer until it was almost an earthquake.

AAA remained motionless, simply assuming a horse stance. The moment the ground shattered and fangs, like turbine teeth, tore through the earth, he drew his sword.

【Kamui Iai·Hanyue】

The blade, adorned with azure frost from all directions, traced a perfect full moon. Then, the frost chased after it, turning the damp ground into frozen soil. The giant beast that burst from the earth froze inch by inch, yet continued to surge forth, eventually becoming a colossal pillar standing frozen in place.

"Whoosh~~~" AAA exhaled a breath of white vapor, which turned into a refreshing cloud due to the special structure of the helmet.

The moment the behemoth was frozen solid by AAA's perfect Iaijutsu, Cruiser BA arrived wielding her wind chime and flute. Instead of blowing a flute to enhance her attack, she gathered her strength in her entanglement staff, then turned her slash into a thrust, striking the behemoth with a single blow. Cracks spread from the point of impact throughout the behemoth's body.

The cruiser BA gracefully withdrew its baton and left, the frozen behemoth turning into pieces of flesh and blood that fell to the ground; the behemoth's name had only just been mentioned.

[Earthworm Lamprey LV150]

The fish that swim in the sea of ​​the earth are also parasitic fish on the earth, feeding on it while making it more fertile.

This is a beneficial monster, a special fish-shaped earthworm, but the problem is that this monster's level is usually only around LV20. Now that its level has increased, the things it needs to eat have naturally become larger.

Since it is an earthworm, it naturally possesses the regenerative ability of an earthworm. The broken part falls to the ground and loses its activity, but after a throbbing, a new turbine-shaped mouthpart grows out of the broken part, and its level drops to LV100.

The lampreys have become active again, but what's more troublesome than the lampreys themselves is that they have alerted the evil beastmen of this gluttonous region.

Large clouds of dust accompanied by wild beasts arrived.
