292 Anonymous Seeker Umm, so regarding the new skills Leveling Junkie Bro discovered this time, the three that actually seem relevant to us are Blue Sky Beyond the Clouds, Awakened One, and Equanimity.

Anyone have a clue what the unlock conditions are?

293 Anonymous Seeker Like we’d know, you moron!

294 Anonymous Seeker Look it up yourself, trash.

295 Anonymous Seeker LOL You guys are way too worked up. w

296 Anonymous Seeker We’ve discussed this to death in the thread already, but nobody has an answer. Of course they’re salty.

297 Anonymous Seeker Well, trying to give a serious answer now that we’ve cooled down... regarding Blue Sky Beyond the Clouds, we can only guess that using Asceticism is one of the requirements.

Leveling Junkie Bro’s predictions were posted on Hinata-chan’s ZX, and even he said he had no clue beyond the idea of "fighting while afflicted by status ailments."

Based on the skill description, that’s really all we have to go on.

Even if there are other conditions, we’re at a total loss for now.

298 Anonymous Seeker Awakened One and Equanimity are even more of a mystery.

I mean, they’re title skills.

The achievement conditions obviously involve using Seeker and Asceticism, but we’re completely clueless about the recognition conditions.

In the first place, Leveling Junkie Bro is the only person we know of who has repeatedly fought while maintaining max level in both Seeker and Asceticism.

299 Anonymous Seeker What’s the word on Indomitable Spirit?

Wasn’t there a verification team that said they were going to test a bunch of stuff?

300 Verification Seeker Test it? How?

The dungeon was locked down right after the dungeon terrorism started, you know.

We formed a party for verification, but we haven’t been able to make a move. And then Junkie Bro’s stream happened.

Now there’s a mountain of new things to verify. I don’t even know what to do anymore.

301 Anonymous Seeker Wait!? It’s the verification team guy! The verification team guy is here!!

302 Anonymous Seeker Verification team guy! We can win this!!

303 Anonymous Seeker Sup, Verification Team-kun! Hurry up and solve the conditions and please tell us!

304 Anonymous Seeker Thank you for your service as always! ...Actually, wait. Have we actually been "serviced" by them?

305 Verification Seeker You guys rely on others way too much. w

Seriously, if you live in this thread, you should be helping us. Also, >304, don’t say that. It hurts...

306 Anonymous Seeker Hey >304, quit bullying the verification team!!

307 Anonymous Seeker They haven’t produced any major results yet, sure, but they’re working hard for our sake!!

308 Anonymous Seeker Yeah, what he said! They haven't found a single new skill, but the verification team is the one that figured out the safe party combat method for using Seeker and Asceticism!

309 Verification Seeker (´;;`) Sob

310 Anonymous Seeker You guys, stop it already. w

311 Verification Seeker W-well, hold on, everyone...

I-it’s true that we haven’t produced any major results so far...

On top of that, Leveling Junkie Bro discovered the Awakened One title and skill, completely beating us to the punch. But our goal was never to be the pioneers.

Our goal is to make it so everyone in this thread can use seeker-type skills to achieve ultra-fast leveling! Right?!

312 Anonymous Seeker You were already beaten to the punch when Indomitable Spirit was discovered.

313 Anonymous Seeker Technically, he beat you to the combat method using Seeker and Asceticism, too.

Though Junkie Bro's version is impossible to copy, so it barely counts.

314 Anonymous Seeker Maybe we just don’t need anyone but Leveling Junkie Bro.

315 Anonymous Seeker How sneaky of you to downgrade your goals when no one was looking.

316 Anonymous Seeker Just so you know, the people in this thread are well aware that it was the verification team members who were complaining in the "Hinata Channel" chat.

317 Verification Seeker (´;;`) Waaaah

318 Anonymous Seeker I told you to stop. www He’s crying. www

319 Verification Seeker I-it’s true... our status as pioneers was snatched away by Leveling Junkie Bro...

B-but! It is our job to verify those feats and make them achievable for anyone!

Therefore! The verification team has decided to focus on mastering Seeker and Asceticism and finding the method to unlock and acquire the Indomitable Spirit and Blue Sky Beyond the Clouds skills!!

320 Anonymous Seeker H-he’s strong...!!

321 Anonymous Seeker That is one impressive spirit, refusing to stay down after all that. w

322 Anonymous Seeker That’s the verification team for you!!

323 Anonymous Seeker The way he just casually gave up on the Awakened One title. w

324 Anonymous Seeker You say you've "decided to seek them out," but what are you specifically going to do?

325 Verification Seeker Heh, I’m glad you asked!

326 Anonymous Seeker Ugh.

327 Verification Seeker (´;;`)

328 Anonymous Seeker Cut it with the emoji and just talk.

329 Anonymous Seeker Don’t try to build suspense!

330 Anonymous Seeker You guys, be a little nicer to the verification team. www

331 Verification Seeker Fine, fine.

To get back to the point, the verification team is specifically focusing on killer-type skills!

All the common-sense-defying feats Leveling Junkie Bro has achieved—we believe those are largely due to the influence of killer-type skills!

332 Anonymous Seeker Is that right...? Maybe...

333 Anonymous Seeker Based on the skill descriptions for Goblin Slayer and Goblin Genocider, I agree they seem extremely powerful against specific monsters, but...

334 Anonymous Seeker ...That guy endures the pain from Asceticism using nothing but pure grit.

335 Anonymous Seeker None of us can just absorb experience points and feel so good that the pain disappears, you know?

336 Anonymous Seeker Besides, the number of goblins he’s killed is just insane.

337 Anonymous Seeker Even if your stats go up and your damage multiplier reaches 4x, soloing monster room rotations with that is just too reckless.

338 Anonymous Seeker And if you use Seeker, your stats drop anyway, so the benefits of Goblin Genocider are basically halved. Could you do monster room rotations with that? Could you win even once? Alone?

339 Verification Seeker (´;;`) Sob

340 Anonymous Seeker The absolute flood of counterarguments is killing me. www

341 Verification Seeker Wait!! Stop right there!! I’m really going to cry!!

342 Anonymous Seeker www He’s already crying. www

343 Verification Seeker I understand what you’re saying!!

I’m not saying that everything about Leveling Junkie Bro’s abnormality comes from killer-type skills!!

But!! You can’t deny that killer-type skills are part of the reason he’s been so successful! What do you think?!

344 Anonymous Seeker Hmm...

345 Anonymous Seeker Well...

346 Anonymous Seeker Verification Team-kun, you have the floor. Please continue.

347 Verification Seeker Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I shall proceed.

In short, we should also acquire killer-type skills, evolve them, and use Seeker and Asceticism against specific monsters just like Leveling Junkie Bro!

If we do that, we might be able to satisfy the unlock conditions for Indomitable Spirit and Blue Sky Beyond the Clouds!!

This is the last ray of hope for us who have been stuck in stagnation!!

And so, I want to ask everyone in this thread. Is there anyone here who possesses some kind of killer-type skill?!

348 Slime Seeker ...Did somebody call?

349 Anonymous Seeker Killer-type skills are title skills, though.

350 Anonymous Seeker The general consensus is that they’re dud skills, so I doubt almost anyone is trying to get them on purpose.

351 Anonymous Seeker Surprisingly few people have them.

352 Anonymous Seeker Well, that’s why the verification team is asking—Wait, what?!

353 Anonymous Seeker >348, c-could it be?!

354 Anonymous Seeker Slime Seeker... is here?!

355 Anonymous Seeker Wait, does that mean you have... Slime Killer?!

356 Slime Seeker Heh, so you’ve noticed. Indeed, I possess Slime Killer...

357 Verification Seeker Ooh...!! We were looking for someone like you! Will you cooperate with us?!

358 Slime Seeker Good grief, I’m not one for the spotlight, but... Very well. I am a seeker myself. I don’t mind lending a hand...

359 Anonymous Seeker This guy is really feeling himself.

360 Anonymous Seeker Having Slime Killer is basically just saying you’ve done nothing but hunt slimes. As an explorer, that’s not really something to brag about. w

361 Verification Seeker By the way, Slime Killer-kun, what is your current level?

362 Slime Seeker 19.

363 Anonymous Seeker That’s actually pretty high!?

364 Anonymous Seeker Wait, do you hunt things other than slimes too?

365 Slime Seeker Heh, I don't mean to brag, but since the day I was born, I have never defeated a monster other than a slime.

366 Anonymous Seeker LMAO, it really wasn't a brag. www

367 Anonymous Seeker Still, you can’t reach level 19 just by hunting normal slimes. Are you diving into the slime dungeon?

368 Slime Seeker The Minato Ward dungeon is my main battlefield.

369 Anonymous Seeker So it really is the slime dungeon. w

370 Anonymous Seeker There it is. w The dungeon famous for only spawning the slime species up to floor 10. w

371 Verification Seeker Level 19, huh... That might be a bit too high.

If we’re going to raise Slime Killer-kun’s level from here to grow his killer-type skill, we’ll need a fair amount of experience points...

Slime Killer-kun, if you don’t mind, could you tell us your skill build? Of course, I won’t force you to reveal it here where countless people are watching, so you can refuse if you want.

372 Slime Seeker I have nothing to hide. Very well, I shall reveal it.

Witness my power, and tremble, be astonished, and behold! This is the strength of the skills I possess!!

Seeker: Lv. Max Asceticism: Lv. 1 Increased Damage with Bladed Weapons: Lv. Max Fighting Spirit: Lv. 4 Slime Killer: Lv. Max

373 Anonymous Seeker T-this is...?!

374 Anonymous Seeker N-no way...?!

375 Anonymous Seeker Y-y-y-you’re so weaaaaak!!?

376 Anonymous Seeker Wait, you’re way too weak for a level 19!? Are you serious that you don’t even have Sword Aura?!

377 Anonymous Seeker This is what happens when you take Seeker...!! Well, I guess we’re in no position to judge...!!

378 Anonymous Seeker Looking at this makes me sad... Especially how Seeker is maxed but Asceticism is stuck at level 1. I feel that in my soul...!!

379 Anonymous Seeker I accidentally spat on my screen laughing, but honestly, everyone here is pretty much the same. It’s a classic seeker story: Seeker and Asceticism suck up all your skill points, so your other skills never grow...!!

380 Anonymous Seeker Wait, hold on, guys!! That’s true, but look... his Slime Killer is actually maxed out!!

381 Anonymous Seeker Whaaat?!

382 Anonymous Seeker I looked again and it’s for real!!

383 Anonymous Seeker Y-you! You actually dumped points into Slime Killer?!

384 Slime Seeker Heh. Truth be told, the HP consumption from Fighting Spirit was too much for me, so I left it at level 4 and was hoarding my skill points...

Immediately after Leveling Junkie Bro’s revelations in yesterday’s stream, I dumped all my saved points into it.

385 Anonymous Seeker That’s some serious commitment!?

386 Anonymous Seeker Is this guy a hero or something?!

387 Verification Seeker S-so, Slime Killer-kun! What about the skill?! Did it evolve?!

388 Slime Seeker Heh. It’s exactly as you see.

389 Anonymous Seeker Eh?

390 Anonymous Seeker Hmm?

391 Anonymous Seeker ...I looked again, and the level notation says "Max."

392 Verification Seeker Does that mean, by any chance...?

393 Slime Seeker Heh. It didn't evolve.

394 Verification Seeker How can that be...?

According to Leveling Junkie Bro’s hypothesis, there are two initial evolution conditions for killer-type skills. One is "Defeating 1,000 monsters of the slayer target." The other should be "Maxing out the level of the killer-type skill."

395 Anonymous Seeker Eh? Wait, did Slime Killer not kill 1,000 slimes? Even though he reached level 19 with nothing but slimes?

396 Slime Seeker Heh. I can state with absolute certainty. I have killed well over 1,000 members of the slime species. Don't underestimate me.

397 Anonymous Seeker Shut up! I mean, then why? Was Leveling Junkie Bro lying?

398 Verification Seeker ...No, that’s not it! There are two possible reasons.

One is if the condition was "You must kill 1,000 monsters after maxing the skill level." In that case, Slime Killer-kun, who just maxed his level yesterday, wouldn't have satisfied the condition yet.

399 Anonymous Seeker Oh, I see!

400 Slime Seeker Heh. So that’s how it is.

401 Verification Seeker However, if the other reason is the cause, it might be a bit more complicated. The second possible reason is... a "recognition condition."

402 Anonymous Seeker A "recognition condition"? Why? Aren't we talking about skills?

403 Anonymous Seeker No, wait! That’s it! Now that I think about it, killer-type skills are title skills! And in Junkie Bro’s announcement, he said not just the skill name but the title name changed as well. Does that mean this isn't just a skill evolution, but an evolution into a high-rank title?!

404 Slime Seeker ...Eh?

405 Verification Seeker That’s highly likely. And if that’s the case, we can assume the recognition condition is much stricter than the one for the initial killer-type skill. In other words...

406 Anonymous Seeker It means for Slime Killer to become Slime Slayer, he might need to become famous.

407 Slime Seeker ...For real?

408 Verification Seeker Just being famous might not be enough, but it would at least make it easier to acquire. Still, the first reason is also a possibility. Slime Killer-kun, sorry to ask, but would you mind joining us for a 1,000-slime hunt for verification purposes?

409 Slime Seeker Heh. If it’s slimes, leave it to me.

410 Verification Seeker Thank you! Also, regarding the verification of killer-type skills, the sample size is way too small with just Slime Killer-kun. It would be a huge help if there were other people with killer-type skills...

411 Anonymous Seeker I’m sure they’re out there if you look...

412 Anonymous Seeker But no one else is coming forward, so isn’t Slime Killer the only one, at least in this thread?

413 Anonymous Seeker Honestly, at this point, it might be faster to just get killer-type skills ourselves. Though the probability of getting one even if you try is probably low.

414 Verification Seeker I suppose it comes to that... Regardless, if killer-type skills are necessary to fully master seeker-type skills, then the ideal would be for all seekers to be able to get them eventually...

The verification team discussed this... and we’ve decided to use this opportunity to verify methods for acquiring killer-type skills as well.

415 Anonymous Seeker You mean you’re going to establish a method for title acquisition? Just because you become a streamer doesn’t mean you’ll get a title, so what else are you going to do?

416 Verification Seeker Umu... It’s quite mortifying for us to be following in his footsteps like this, but...

The idea came up to start streaming as DungeonTubers and try screaming every time we defeat a monster.

417 Anonymous Seeker Hmm? Screaming?

418 Anonymous Seeker No, you don’t mean...

419 Verification Seeker Well, like, "Nn-Gimojiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!"

420 Anonymous Seeker That’s just a total rip-off of Leveling Junkie Bro!!
