Chapter 135 - Live Stream Comments

Hayate raced through the Grade 8 Gold Dungeon.

"The Gold Dungeon features ore-type monsters. Most of them have high defense and are resistant to magic. It's especially tough for swordsmen. I recommend switching to a blunt-force weapon to fight them."

> You say that, but aren't you holding swords?
> Yep, two water-attribute twin swords.
> You have blunt weapons too, right?
> If you're gonna recommend them, you should use them yourself.

"By the way, the monsters here are on the slower side, so if you aim for their weak points precisely, you can attack without draining your weapon's durability. Which is why I'm going to brute-force them with two sets of water-attribute twin swords, since they're super effective against these guys!"

With twin swords in both hands and another set equipped to his Manipulators, Hayate spun into a four-sword barrage, striking a rugged, four-legged monster.

His flurry of attacks expertly avoided the monster's tough shell, precisely destroying its weak points.

"There. Just like that."

> Whoa, whoa, whoa.
> What do you mean, 'just like that'!?
> Your movements make no sense, as usual.
> How can you avoid the shell and attack at the same time?
> And he's spinning while he does it.
> How are you even controlling the Manipulators like that?

"Oh, the spinning? That's because it adds a bonus to my attack power. It might be a little difficult to control, but you'll get used to it."

> Yeah, we know that part.
> But there's no way I can copy it.
> Because this is REALITY.
> I mean, I could do it. In the game.
> I used to do that in FWO all the time!
> That move is impossible in real life lol

"I see a lot of comments saying that attacking while spinning is impossible in real life. But don't worry. I have good news for all of you. Now that Aura Release has been implemented, it's become quite easy to perform superhuman movements."

> Wait, is he self-aware?
> That he himself is superhuman?
> Hayate was pulling off those moves even before Aura Release was a thing, though.

Numerous retorts filled the chat, but Hayate, deep in the dungeon, couldn't see them. He continued his explanation while slaughtering another monster.

"First, get used to doing acrobatic moves by activating Aura Release in a safe tutorial area. Just copy what I did in the promotional stream for the four-sword style and you'll be fine. Start with simple jumps and spins, and eventually, you should be able to perform a spinning attack while holding your weapons. Once you can do that, you'll be a master of the Hayate-Style Four-Sword Style, too!!"

Hayate leaped high into the air, descending in a spin to slam a powerful blow into the floor boss.

As the massive, truck-sized boss monster collapsed, Hayate turned to his viewers with a smile.

"I'd like to say 'I'll be waiting for you in the dungeons,' but I'm not stopping. I don't want to lose to anyone. Still, I'd love to see more people using the four-sword style. So do your best and try to catch up to me."

> What he's saying makes no sense.
> That's Hayate for you, though lol
> But for real, clearing dungeons is super profitable.
> I want to catch up, but...
> The four-sword style just seems too hard.
> I can't get my Manipulators to move right.
> I do want to use Aura Release, though.
> So you can try it safely in the tutorial area?

With the implementation of Aura Release, the number of people challenging dungeons was on the rise. And though the number was still small, more and more people were choosing the four-sword style of the Multi-Sword User class.
