Chapter 129
Defense Specialization and the 4th Layer
One day in October, a little over a month since the event .
It was the day that the 4th layer was to be added .
Risa had invited her to go and check it out, but she would have logged in either way .
Her vision was filled with light, and when it disappeared, the 3rd layer’s town spread out before her .
She looked around to see that Sally was waving at her, and so Maple walked up to her .
“I came . What should we do? Should we go right away?”
“I bet you could take care of the boss on the 3rd layer by yourself…yeah, let’s go . You’re curious too, aren’t you?”
“I am!”
They didn’t try to match their login times, and so the two of them were the only ones who were there from Maple Tree .
Even if they went now, they would have to go again with everyone else later and fight the boss all over again .
But still, their curiosity about the new layer was too strong .
Without even knowing what the boss was, Maple used ‘Savagery’ to transform, so she could carry Sally on her back as she ran through the field and towards the dungeon .
At this point, everyone knew that this monster was Maple, and so none of the players who flew in the sky tried to attack her .
However, she still drew a lot of attention .
They ran over monsters as they made their way through the dungeon . Then they arrived in front of the room and Maple opened the doors to go inside .
“Sally? We’re here!”
“Okay! Let’s get this thing over with . ”
The thing that was inside was a steel golem that was three times their height .
If golems had a will of their own, this one would have been stunned to see the door open and a monster’s head peeking inside .
“‘Phantom World’!”
Even with only Sally, Maple could multiple into 4 .
The four 4 Maples started to attack the golem as if surrounding it .
As for the golem, it too tried to attack Maple, but of course, she didn’t take any damage .
Sally saw this with relief and then sat down to pet Oboro on the head .
However, as Sally was doing this, she heard Maple’s frantic voice .
“Sally!? What should I do!?”
“Huh!? What!?”
“I can’t deal any damage to it!?”
“What!?”
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website Sally looked at the golem and saw that its HP hadn’t changed at all .
Management had been thinking .
A natural way to stop Maple in Savagery form .
And what they came up with, was not to place a boss with ridiculous attack power there, but a boss with high defense power and HP .
Maple’s ultimate enemy was not someone with extreme firepower, but someone with the same traits as her .
Maple didn’t have any piercing attack skills .
And as the golem couldn’t deal any damage, this fight couldn’t end .
It was a way to contain Maple in a one on one fight .
“I guess I’m going to have to do something about this . ”
Realizing what this meant, Sally pulled out her daggers and ran towards the golem .
And they fought for 30 minutes .
Partly due to Sally maxing out ‘Dance of Swords,’ the battle was able to finally come to an end .
“Hah…that was a mistake . ”
“Yeah…that was harsh . ”
This put a damper on their plan to quickly pass this area and go see the 4th layer, but they decided to switch gears and head for it anyway .
“I wonder what it’s like?”
“Who knows? Look, you can see it now . ”
Sally started to run, and Maple chased after her .
The 4th layer was a town of shadows .
Stars glimmered in the night sky, and there were two full moons, one red and one blue .
This town was the biggest of the towns so far, and all of the buildings were wooden and looked traditionally Japanese .
There were waterways running throughout the town, and lanterns quietly illuminated the streets .
There was an especially tall building in the center of the town, and their hearts were filled with curiosity .
“Should we explore? Should we?”
“Yes . But let’s go to the guild home first . ”
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website “Oh, right . ”
They suppressed their excitement and headed for the guild home .
