Chapter Title: Tampa Tower's Desperate Defenses
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Whoa, that flame show is killer."
-I've become death itself, the destroyer of worlds now.
-You've become the 'American Prometheus.'
-Fireworks on point lololol
-Dropping nukes on America...? Revenge for Japan..?
-Bet they landed two hits on the boss.
-One shot back wouldn't hurt, right?
"But seriously~ I'm really disappointed. This is the best you've got...? Are all the climbers tackling the American tower this weak?"
-Info: It's badass from the moment they all open fire.
-Fighters would've died ages ago.
-Wizards too lololol
-Shooters might've dodged with their evasion skills.
-Then gotten done in by the vampires.
-Fr fr lololol.
Wakamo was a bit spooked by the [Doppelganger] that appeared on the 30th floor.
If it was copying the absent [Wakamo Inarizushi]'s form here, did that mean it could use her clones too? That's the fear it sparked.
The moment they locked eyes, she sensed its massive mana and realized it had perfectly mimicked her stats—a true ambush.
Sadly, the American tower really had zero info on Wakamo Inarizushi.
"Mai Xiao Long Bao!! Here I go!! Atchoo!!"
"Good job, good job."
-Sis praising her little sis from her wild younger days.
-Those cherished days of intense training.
-The innocent era when she knew nothing of the world....
-Don't work under Yeo Wa, she's a bitch.
-Was it a black company lololol
-Better join under Queen Mother of the West! Another me!!
Swapping her three-section staff for twin sectionals, Mai struck a flashy, agile pose, whipping them around with flair.
Kang Yeoul, shedding her Stars and Stripes cape to revert to her original outfit, rolled her shoulders. Things should ramp up in difficulty soon, right?
Why change clothes? The fans didn't question it.
The sudden spike in challenge felt like a sign more was coming.
"Come at me, whatever you've got!!!"
[Climbing Tampa Tower 31st Floor World]
-Reach the 60th floor by overcoming the tower's trials.
-Live or die—win the duel!
-[Hell Insanity Grade Monster] [Monster Mafia] appears!
Boom! Massive gargoyles landed with a crash.
Amid them, akcheri glared curses while [Vampire Shooters] readied guns. Orcs mounted on rhinos packed heavy weapons, targeting Wakamo's party. Sheer numbers pushed past 100—an overwhelming horde!!
Gargoyles even sported rocket launchers from who-knows-where. Goblins dangled from them, guns in hand. Mai gaped: Is this for real?
A massive, dead-serious swarm!
Leading them: the doppelganger in Wakamo's form!!
""??""
-?
-???
-??????
-lololololololol
-lolololololol
-lololololololol
-lolololololololol
-lmaoooo
-Laughing so hard my stomach hurts lololol
No sooner had the transformation finished than Mai and Kang Yeoul hurled knives, nailing it before leaping through the gate.
A massive explosion followed!! Fans burst into laughter at the glorious pillar of [Mana Burn] flames.
The boss's weakness being [Mana Burn] was no secret anymore.
But using it meant mutual destruction.
Honestly, fans doubted it'd kill Wakamo.
She'd only taken it once, so even she wasn't sure.
She had [175] skills countering mana neutralization, disruption, and erasure like [Mana Burn]—so she always played it safe.
Incheon Tower knew, yet stuck to [Mana Burn]? Maybe nothing else was that threatening.
Or they were holding back for a "You didn't see this coming!!" vital strike.
Invincible superhuman inside the tower—outside, she had to watch climbers' skills carefully!
In that sense, Wakamo was grateful the doppelganger suicided on her weakness.
"Jump in—it's manners!"
"Yeehaw~"
Hoping against hope, they hit 32nd floor: even more foes, now including unseen [Ogre Artillery], [Smoke Ratmen], and [Elf Snipers]. A full army's worth! Wakamo pondered the coolest takedown.
Spotting two doppelgangers up front, she facepalmed.
Mai and Kang Yeoul sighed as theirs transformed into Wakamo, then chucked [Mana Burn] daggers.
Boom.
-No way?
-Nah, no chance...
-No, really no?
-No triple in a row, America!!!
-No triple in a row, America!!!
-Wait, why two chats?
-Wait, why two chats?
-Hey trash! Taste the spice of small peppers!
-Storm Fox Wakamo charges!!
33rd floor: over 200 [Monster Mafia] unleashed vicious intent, raining ranged fire. Kang Yeoul's wing cloak deflected bullets; Mai's twin sectionals swatted missiles and threats.
Then, she flung weapons at the three transformed doppelgangers.
-They really did it three times lololol
-American tower!! No sense at all!!!!
-Argh lololol how many explosions lololol
-Is this a tower durability test???
Pushing with numbers only goes so far... Anxious, they hit 34th: more mafia, four doppelgangers.
Fans couldn't laugh anymore. Mai's giggles turned cold.
Thought the collab failed—now Wakamo's climb stream tanked too.
35th floor: five doppelgangers. Mai facepalmed: This right? Kang Yeoul blew mercury bubblegum bubbles silently, cooling her rage.
300 monsters? Whatever.
Hoping it wasn't, they crouched in despair, muttering.
"Stuff like [Vampire Outlaw] or [Doppelganger] showed up, right?"
"Yeah, if American tower had any conscience, it'd crank difficulty."
"What's the point of just more numbers....!!"
"Boringer than Kyoto tower...."
-Fr fr lololol
-Is this backtalk or fronttalk?
-American tower getting roasted at the next tower meet?
-Followed manual and bombed lolololol
-"American style": automated and failed~
-Feel Incheon Tower's heart—bet your life per floor?
-Realizing late on foreign soil....
-But we don't miss it, fuck that.
-True lolololol
Rewards? Just gold, gear, mats galore.
Brace yourselves... American tower hadn't given a single [Skill] since entry!! No [Skill Enhancement] either!!
Wakamo's strength came from vast [Skills]—American tower gave zilch!!!
Jackson: "Bring gold, then I use skills"—tone-deaf crap boiling Wakamo's blood.
Please, God... please...!!
Stream's dying... Don't wanna die boring!! Please for Wakamo...!!
Incheon Tower: begged to lower difficulty, writhing.
American: stingy rewards, pathetic counters—infuriating.
──Normally, picking [Shooter] skills, building tech tree for custom growth. Tower adjusts difficulty, spawns matching monsters/gear.
But Wakamo entered as [Shooter]—no guns, no skills, unclassifiable. Monsters mixed chaotically.
Surface: non-combat Legendary class—can't spike combat difficulty.
-[Hey weak? Crying lololol] Incheon Tower mocks with China/Japan—American Tower ridiculed.
Had they scouted Wakamo, wizard hordes would've shown true hell.
Can't view stats? Tower rules limit to Shooter-hard difficulty.
American Tower innocent. Wakamo twists trash Legendary into ultra-super cheat via talent— she's the odd one.
Incheon clueless too, shrugged awkwardly.
Extremely: [Our kid scores 100% no matter test difficulty? Thought Legendary same as others. She's a genius~ Sorry. But American too easy? You're no mortal?] Incheon smug.
Simplified, but yeah.
Climber speedruns shame the tower.
Thus, 36th-40th: [Monster Mafia] gifts.
No doppelgangers? Epic two-vs-700 war at 40th.
But ignoring weakness? Controversy.
-700 armed with guns/heavies: insanely strong.
-7-man party high-floor scale.
-Yeah, actually brutal...
-Just American tower braindead.
-15:57 for 4 floors real? lololol
-Fans? Where you live?
-Unprecedented hyperspeed climb.
-Boss face darkening per floor....
-Needs to stream but ruined lolololol
Please, 41st different—1st-floor vibes! Kang Yeoul/Mai beamed.
High-fiving: Finally! Expecting monsters—sandstorm, ominous gunslinger strode in.
[Climbing Tampa Tower 41st Floor World]
-Reach the 60th floor by overcoming the tower's trials.
-Live or die—win the duel!
-[Ultra Hardcore Grade Monster] [Showdown Elite Gunman] appears!
-Fuck lololololol
-That's 60th boss!!!
-Evasion i-frames and auto-reload?
-0.2-sec fire rate madman lololol
-But so what lololol
Arms loose, holsters ready—like quickdraw any sec.
Mai Shaolongbao, in natural stance exuding master aura, drew twin swords from tail, advancing.
"Shoot well, cyclops Wally!!"
Scabbards flung, shattered by bullets!!
Rapid fire stacked one gunshot—12 rounds at Mai.
Vital hits deflected/sliced by her blades.
Clang clang clang—!!
Dynamic vision tracking trajectories, Mai parried the elite gunman's barrage with flashy agility.
"Hmph...."
Mai smug: See my skills?
Rare metal custom blade chipped, near-break.
Holes riddling her—blood fountained, staining floor.
"Bullets super fast."
-Couldn't parry? lolololol
-What's with the pro swordplay!!!
-Even wuxia masters can't tank machinegun bursts.
-Like spraying minigun lololol
Whip—
Pew—!!!
Hit dozens, Mai unfazed—gunman flashbang-blinded, boldly closed in.
Blade-bayonet magnum swung sword-like; Mai countered—but gunman reverse-gripped thumb-trigger, backfired.
Unprecedented boom, shockwave.
Gunman's fist nailed Mai's face/chest.
Spinning magnums spewed bullets wildly, ricocheting everywhere, riddling Mai from all angles.
Implanted bullets chain-exploded.
Wobbling Mai—gun sighted, trigger pulled; she crossed arms guarding.
Click.
No fire.
Out of ammo? Faint opening—delayed shot grazed cheek.
'Hangfire..!'
Delayed ignition bullet??
Ditching wrecked sword, Mai dual-wielded [Magnum Revolvers], firing.
Not bullets: [Idol's Flame]/[Idol's Thunder]—gunman intercepted midair.
Sidestep spin, rope uncoiled from waist.
Kicked to launch, shot to snag arm; recoil yanked, lassoed at Mai reverse.
Unknowable mechanics—but Mai dodged head tilt; lasso curved, snared neck.
"Uwak?!?"
Lassoed, legs buckled, she faceplanted.
Then, absurd strength: swung her building-ward, hurled dozens dynamite.
Sssss! Fuses lit auto, rocketed at buried Mai—glorious blasts.
Bwoom—!!!
Debris flew; lightning-Mai accelerated, dual magnums forward, fired bolts in accel world.
Gunman afterimage-charged incoming lightning.
Diving roll to slide; Mai stomped—but he inverted gravity-defying, upkicked chin.
Upside-down barrage!!
Dozens bullets riddled Mai, exploded—sent flying.
Path-following shots ricocheted off debris/obstacles/buildings/bullets, converging spear-like into Mai.
Chain explosions!!
"Ugyaaaak!!!"
-Real [Shooter] here lololol
-Fuck, style insane lololol
-This humanity's peak GUN-fu...?
-Evasion i-frames pure cheat.
-100% accuracy mid-that too insane lololol
-Every shot anywhere hits Mai's skill...
"No gun needed for trash like you... I'll end you!!!"
Lightning-charging Mai.
[Idol's True Form] intangibled her—bullets passed harmlessly.
Partial real arm punch—but gunman's fist met face.
Knuckled magnum in one hand.
Gunfire pace matched savage punches raining on Mai.
Taiji deflected? Forced redirect via shot—breathless onslaught.
Snagged her fist in arms, swept leg with knee pit, joint-locked dominance.
"Kraaaak!! Wakamo!!! Kang Yeoul!!!!"
-No lololol win already!!!!
-Where's that training grit!!
-Real [Shooter] nuts lololol
-Master range + melee = thug...
-If you could lololol
Overwhelming skill gap!! Pure ability crush on Mai Shaolongbao!!
Tearfully begging aid.
But sly impish grin—shadows bound gunman; all acting, she sprang up smirking.
"Hahat!! Fooled ya, monster!!"
-Ugly Mai Mai....
-Loses, instant AoE...
-Where's respect for human martial arts!!!
-Kid pulling weapon after asskicking...
"Backbreaker!!!!"
Hoisted high, kneed to fold in half—victory roar.
Popcorn-munching Kang Yeoul shook head: Can't watch.
"Quit mocking!! You try!!"
Ranting Mai, hole-riddled mess protesting; Kang Yeoul shrugged, rose.
42nd floor: three [Showdown Elite Gunmen] greeted.
"Call if getting furred!"
"Sure~"
Shrugging casually, she strode frontally.
Quickdraw to forehead—head snapped back.
But she righted, bullet popped out, wiped smoking wound—gone.
"Got more than this?"
Grinning, raised hands—mercury bracelets melted inward; silver claws erupted from knuckles.
-Wow! Foxverine!
-Mayful and Foxverine lololol
-TS worldline here!!!
-Doing whatever lololol
-Called her for this lololol
Bullet hail met head-on, beast-rushing Kang Yeoul leaped.
[Idol's Body] hardened vs penetration, rapid regen tricked immortality.
Wakamo showed dismemberment survival vs 50th mooncakes anyway.
Misunderstandings grow beneficial.
Encircling gunmen poured fire—bullets pelted, she grinned, claws severed two necks.
Last gunman: wielded duo spines as weapons. He backjumped—mistake.
Pre-landing, Mai lightning-slashed waist.
"Yesss! 2:2! Tied!!!"
"Hey."
On path, her head lopped—Kang Yeoul held it, deadpan scold.
Casually reattached: perfect fit.
"Stuck good?"
"Clean like Kang Taegong. Cells alive from perfect slice!!"
"Bullshit."
-Head off? Lives. Bullets? Lives.
-Dismembered? Lives lolololol
-Immortal fr lololol
-Healing factor OP.
-What regen lololol
-Kang Lady savage lololol
-"Like Kang Taegong slice"
-How tho!!!
Haha-ing, joke-swapping—but camera scanned chats closely.
Mai's struggle real: lowered [Idol's Body] enhancement.
Rediscovering enhancement [Skills]' value, full-power Kang Yeoul won cleanly.
"Thumbnail time? Pose."
"Yea, X-Man."
Dual claws/dual pistols posed, friendly pic—beaming innocently key.
-Commem shots irresistible lololol
-Day we furred American tower.JPG
-Gun dudes can't beat mutants lololol
-Mai, why so fun.
-Lowest mental age.
43rd: laughing up—dark night sky, ominous moon.
Clearing clouds, moonlight... headless man revealed below!
[Dullahan] mounted, head tucked side, one-hand massive sword—charged Mai/Kang Yeoul.
Mai magnum spray: phased through.
Kang Yeoul finger-snap wind slash: ineffective.
Why? Answer: shadow-spawned "real body" showed.
Impaled Kang Yeoul on greatsword, hoisted blood-drenched—yanked reins.
Headless horse reared.
Upper body melted, collapsed.
-???
-Why melt???
-Dullahan arms melting too lololol?
-lolololol?
Blood from impaled Kang Yeoul.
Regret: not blood—Ying's special acid solution.
Corrosive to monsters—dullahan smoked everywhere.
Flung desperately—but high hoist mistake.
[Idol's Weight] plummeted impaled; [Idol's True Form] freed, mounted shoulder.
No head for "happy ride"—but acid-melted, sat [Idol's Weight] crushing.
Ass-sat, blood-shower enabled—melted puddle spread.
-Melted!!!
-Melt with love (real).
-Fox blood acidic how lololol
-Wtf lololololol
-Attack clueless = melt death.
-PredatorX or AlienX pick one.
-Wow~ this mooncake~
-Crazy lololololol
-Ass Executioner!! Mercy plz!!!
-Crushed by ass, luxurious death lololol
"Dullahan looks so cool."
Mai awed by headless knight's headless horse poise amid.
Staging peak! Clouds part, moonlight reveals dark-hidden form...!!
Memo for later—scribbled notes.
-lolololololol
-Effort/reliability = Mai.
-Millennia training hardcore lololol
-All that for twisted mooncake.....
-But puberty storm-and-stress normal.
-To be human! Fox learns human vileness!
-lmaoooo
-lolollololololololol
-Human history: loves torture!
-Weak eaten. Nature's law issue?
-Flashback: suddenly makes sense lololol
"44th floor~"
"Ominous number, but fine?"
Dullahan standard American—unshocking.
Bad vibes. Horror theme? Spooked Mai clung arm.
-MO GY!!

-Wakamo Boss'd scream.
-Whatever comes, scared Mai cute.
-Beasts' instincts sharp lololol

"What? Host bar?"

-Say host club at least!!!!
-Who taught Mai lololol
-Who these uselessly handsome bros?
-Eyes scream vampire.
-Clothes noble, high-rank?
-lmaoooo
Elite [Noblesse Vampires]—top vamp tier, 10 at once.
Skipped pattern, no adaptation breather—American tower's malice clear.
Magic/basic martial/[Transform]/[Charm]—boss-tier tricky.
Intelligence? Woman-friendly trait.
Still bloodsuckers. No turning from bite.
Untreated: bleed out death.
Leech-like—some lands call [Leech Nobles].
"[Hehe, lovely ladies....]"
"[We'll duel one-by-one politely...]"
-Mannerly sweet vamps.
-But gang up if scared.
-Nice to girls only lololol
-Boss charm resist, fine.
-No VTuber, no thirst.
-Super convincing lolololol
"What now?"
Kang Yeoul: [Nation-Toppling Golden Thread] flowing, [Kusanagi Sword] at hip sash—asked Mai.
Earring-jingling [Daji's Earrings]; Mai: I'll handle—tail-fumbled weapon.
"Come out! All-Purpose Maracas!!"
-Rhythm key. Fun, flawless,
-Piñata time!!
-No lololol why instrument lololol
-Ball invite? Play music~
-Boss natural clown....
-Actual VTuber shows call her for performances...
-Miss those days....
-But that the weapon?!
Shaka shaka—
Rhythm-shaking arms flashy, immersed.
Pursed lips, stepping, hip-shaking—Mai lost in passion.
Beyond cute: sly fox dance—fans: What doing?
"Party time!!"
-Uselessly upbeat lololol
-Where music from lololol
-Practiced lots lololol
-No, that song!!!
Upbeat fast tempo, joyful racket blared—lyrics kicked.
"Yay~ They call me Cuban Pete♪ I'm the king of rumba♬"
-Cuban lolol Pete lololol
-Jim Carrey lolololol
-Why sing before monsters!!!
-Finally snapped.
-Vocal improved to tone-deaf level—moving.
-Matches British detective now..?
"When I shake maracas♪ Chick chicka boom chick chicka boom♬"
Thump thump thumpa thumpa—vamps followed Mai's dance.

-Candid cam???
-Wtf happening?
-Fuck, charm? lolololol?
-lmaolololololol
-Caught by groovy tune lololol
-Can't resist this song/dance lolololol
"He's the hottest guy~ But so humble~♪"
Kang Yeoul joined, dancing/singing with Mai.
Gals high-kicking, hand-waving rhythm—viewers chat-danced.
Vamps lined behind hip-shaking Mai—hearts in eyes.
No hiding.
[Daji's Earrings] item skill.
[Rare Era's Enchantress][7-day cooldown]
-Charm/mesmerize reason.
7-day ult on all-male vamps: [Charm] status.
"Heads!!!"
Maraca-bashed like drums—watermelon-smashed heads capped mad show!!
"Can't skip fun songs on break."
"Right right~"
-Forgot: kitsune.
-Pro seducer lolololol
-Vamps charm too—but she's senior lololol
-Dancing head-pop plot wtf lolololol
Giggling to 45th: more undead vamps? Chit-chat up.
Viewers cared more what duo'd do than tower.
Zero tension—not a climb.
Then, 45th greeter:
[Climbing Tampa Tower 45th Floor World]
-Reach the 60th floor by overcoming the tower's trials.
-Live or die—win the duel!
-[Nightmare Ghost] [Architect] appears!
""??""
-?
-??
-lol?
-Jackson bro, come on.
-Wtf. Real?
-Beyond belief fuck lolololol
-Ugly American tower!!!!!
Shadow rippled—stance/afterimage: [Architect] Jackson.
Stunned, he pulled gold pouch—[Skill].
Tower-spawned, goldless no skills—like original; Wakamo pitied, reacted slow.
Metal walls erupted left/right, smashed together.
Hammer swing: crater, lava surged swallowing walls—boom! Filled.
No escape: plated over, nailed shut.
Instant crush/burial—no chat time.
Dead fr? Worry brief.
Metal quaked, circle formed—manhole-style launched.
Out bursted four!!
Wakamo dual-wakizashi. Mai staff posed. Kang Yeoul dual [Prongs] trident-like. Asuka twin sectionals: "Atchoot!"
"We're the Brave Turtle Commandos!"
"Huh? Turtle Power here?"
"Invincible Ninja Fox Quartet charges!"
"Asuka not turtle. But AI VTuber dad-turtle exists!!"
Buried? Quadrupled absurdity.
Bickering brief.
Weapons gripped—rushed architect unison.
"""Cowabunga!!"""
"GeroniMO!!"
-Ninja Fox lololololol
-lmaol Wakamo ninja true lololol
-Anything lolololol
-Brought Asuka too? lololol
-Asuka solo diss lololol
-At least match count lololol
Hammer-swinging architect nailed obstacles—harassment.
But one flies, three phase walls.
-(Jackson) Bad memories...
Mai's staff bonk! Head caved—lynched; Jackson PTSD.
