I'll come out in a bit. Three days.

　After finishing my dinner, I announced to myself that I was going to have to stay up all night for three days.

　After formulating various plans, the conclusion I came to was that I had to stay up all night for three days.
　If I didn't, it would be impossible for me to master all the Battoujutsu techniques in one week. Every minute and every second is too precious to spare.

"Wait, wait, Second-dono. I'm getting close to the basics for Eco and me. Isn't it about time you learned the joseki?
That was nice.
I see. Well, you've got another month of basic training to do it.
'What?　Why?
Because a man who has a good foundation never talks about having a good foundation.
Mmmmmm: ......

　Seemingly unable to argue, Sylvia reluctantly nodded. Eco seemed to be honestly convinced, "I see.

''Then please stay away.''
Very well, master.

　I said a few words to Yukari and left the house.

　Raspberry Bell seems to be working on something in her room after dinner. It's probably the development of a medicine for Calameria dependency. It's energetic, I hope you'll do well.



"Well,

　I went outdoors where it was snowing in a flurry and thought about it while summoning the anko.

　In the first place, I don't intend to just learn 【Battoujutsu】.


　By one week's time, I'll have all of my 【Battoujutsu】 skills at the ninth level (...) - this is the ideal.


　In order to prepare for PvP with the fierce person who may be lurking in that sword Hachinokuni, I'll be in a perfect position. That's why I went out of my way to borrow a sword and plan to make it short.

　Hence, what you need to do in this week is not only to meet the skill acquisition requirements.

　...... It's been a long time since I've been on fire.


"Lord, where do you want us to go?
Your parents' house...
"!　As you wish.


　And so the game begins.






"Well, my second. You call that a sword? That's an exceptionally nifty weapon, isn't it?
'Right?　I love it, me.
'It's interesting that you're always putting it away. It's not just a piece of stick that hangs around your waist, but a moment later it turns into a sharp blade. The white blade is also very beautiful. I like it too.
The Great Escape.
...... By the way, my second. When do I get my turn?
It's been a while.
"Is it like that?" ......

　The Great Spirit King with a dejected look on his face.

　That's as it should be. I am not summoning Angolmore to join the battle, I am simply summoning him to "talk" to me.

　...... I've been visiting Isolois for about 20 hours now.

　I'm currently in the middle of a battle that involves springing up and crushing the armored knights of the gatekeepers who spawn near the gates of Aisroys.

　There are always two or more armored knights that spawn here. In addition, their respawning speed is a bit faster than other monsters, probably because they are the gatekeepers. Therefore, this is a very good hunting ground for intermediate to advanced players who are looking to gain experience and fill skill acquisition requirements.

　The Battoujutsu skill, from infantry to kakkou, has similar learning requirements to other skills, such as killing hundreds of demons or attacking a demon to remove 30% of its HP hundreds of times. Therefore, you can learn it without much trouble.

　And after about a full day of fighting, I was finally able to learn the "Infantry Battling Techniques" and "Angular Battling Techniques".


''Lord, I've killed all of them.

　Then, just in time, a slightly upbeat looking Anko came back.

　While I was busy learning skills, Anko was running laps in the shallow layer of Isolois. Thanks to that, I'm getting a chunk of additional experience.

　Now all of the infantry - square lines will be raised to a higher tier. Isn't this wonderful, dark wolf?


　There are only three moves left, the flying car, and the problematic Ryoma and Ryuoh.

　It's good to learn them in order. The first one is the flying car battling technique.

　The flying car battoujutsu is a bit of a pain in the ass. The requirement for learning it is to use the Battoujutsu to kill demons in the same level range as you with a single blow 10 times in a row.
　Since the monsters that appear in Isolois are in the same level range as I am now, I can learn it by killing the monsters there with a single blow 10 times in a row.

　The drawback is the 10 hits in a row. This is quite severe.



-------- ...

Battoujutsu: Skill Table
　Net Firepower: (STR+DEX+AGI+VIT)/5.12+ remaining SP/10^4 (128% firepower at obi)

[Infantry Battoujutsu] Battoujutsu (Single Attack)
Koryo Battoujutsu: Move + Battou (single attack)
Katsurama Battoujutsu: Move Large + Battou (Single Attack)
The more you accumulate, the more powerful the Battoujutsu (single attack).
Golden General Battoujutsu counter (single attack + defense)
Kakugyo Battoujutsu, a fast and powerful thrust.
The more you accumulate, the more powerful the battoujutsu (single attack) is.
Ryoma Battoujutsu: An all-round attack
Dragon King Battoujutsu (the more you accumulate), an extremely powerful ranged attack.

--------



　It's the Silver General Battoujutsu Kudan that produces the most firepower out of all the Battoujutsu I've mastered. If you build up this to the maximum extent while you are in a state of tai tang and produce a critical strike, you can kill yourself with a single blow, or in short, be assured of being successful.

　This is why a critical hit is so important. 10 critical hits in a row ...... Even if a critical hit occurs at 50%, the success rate is 1 in 1024.

　It's a number that I can't keep up with.

　The solution?　And of course there is.


'Okay, a little redress (・・・・).'

　I took out what I had prepared from my inventory and replaced it with my current equipment.

　It's a piece of equipment that has been given a "horn change". The effect of Kakugari is to increase the criticality rate by 5%. This time I brought the "Kaku no Kaku no Piercing" that I borrowed from Silvia and various other equipment such as the "Kaku no Kaku ni Tsubasa" (leather shoes) that will allow you to change your horns. We have a total of 8 parts: head, body, legs, hands, shoes, and 3 accessories. The equipment itself is weak, but the effect it gives you is an incredible 40% increase in criticality generation rate.

　My current net criticality generation rate is 40 for the Kudan's corrected value of 40, plus 92 LUK, divided by 10 and added together, so 40+92/10 is about 49%.

　The effects of the corner-changing equipment granting 8 parts are added to this, and the final criticality rate is--about 89%.

　If the criticality rate is this high, it's easy to get 10 consecutive critical hits.

　...... However, there is one thing that bothers me.


'Hwahahaha!　What a ridiculous appearance!　You are not!　Despicable, my Second!

　Angolmore, I was delighted.

　Indeed, my outfit was intensely lame. It was a scrap of horn conversion equipment that Yukari happened to successfully grant, so the colors and shapes are all limp.

"Oh, I don't know about you anko, but ...... Lord's, Lord's, na, raw clothes, etc. ......!

　I'm huffing and puffing over here too, and I look like I'm about to be attacked.

　Totally, you people are .......

It's not a good idea.　Repatriation!





　When it became quiet, I quickly defeated a dozen demons and mastered the 《Skipping Car Battling Technique》.

　Now, it's time for the Dragon Horse and Dragon King.

　We'll start with the "Dragon King Battoujutsu". The requirement to learn the Battoujutsu is to use the Battoujutsu to kill demons of the same level as you with two consecutive strikes of "First Tachi Sword" and "Second Tachi Sword" 50 times.

　The first taijutsu is the first attack when the sword is pulled out, and the second taijutsu is the second attack to slash at the monster after the sword is pulled out.

　The Battoujutsu is basically an attack from the obito state. The reason for this is that you get a 1.28x damage bonus for simply pulling out of the Obi sword. This is why it's best to avoid the hassle of having to "deliver" each time you attack.

　Sometimes, however, you can swing your sword while it is already drawn. It is a good idea to have a good time with your friends.


　However, the Battoujutsu is still a skill that is meaningful for battling the sword. The true essence of the [Battoujutsu] is the killing blow that strikes the opponent's vital point unexpectedly, and the second sword is an unavoidable (・・・・・) plan, that's how I perceived it.


　It's only 1.28 times, but it's only 1.28 times.

　When you're fulfilling the requirements for learning the Dragon King Battoujutsu, you'll be reminded of this to the point where you can't help but be reminded of it. The difference of that 1.28 times.





''Dah!　Shit!

　Also, I couldn't finish him off with the second sword.

　It's been two and a half days since I've been holed up in Isolois.
　I still haven't achieved "50 consecutive one-two kills".

　Highest, 44 in a row. It seems so close, but not too close. If I fail even once, I have to start from scratch again.


"...... Change equipment.

　And I'm still searching for it.
　Well, I should say, it's to be expected. It's hard to find the right shape.

　I took off my horn conversion equipment and used the "Ginshou Battoujutsu" to bypass the sword and the "Flying Car Battoujutsu" to make the second sword. In this case, if the silver general has a chestnut, he can kill it with a single attack.
　In this case, it is not possible to use the second sword to kill him in the flying car.

　The same is true in other cases. I tried various combinations over and over again. But no matter what I did, the criticals and 1.28x would get in the way in the right places.

　Especially the two swords without the 1.28x bonus. Because of this, I've had a shitload of "just barely enough" situations.

　If you adjust that slightly missing part of the game to be enough, you'll now get a single death on your first critical hit.


　...... I can't tell you how many times I've said "shit" in the last few dozen hours.

　It's getting more and more depressing.

　This is not good. That's what I thought, and I had a plan.




'Minisca!'


　I scream mini-skirts, not shit.

　I feel a little better.
