Chapter 230

Itai no wa iya 230

Defense Specialization and the Tower’s 5th Floor 3

The four groups advanced through the thick mist .

As for who escaped it first, it was Kasumi and Kanade .

“We’re finally out . ”

“You didn’t have to use magic in the end . ”

Kanade only needed to heal and support Kasumi, as she killed the monsters at an incredible speed .

The monsters went down so quickly that he didn’t need to use any wide-area attacks .

“It’s because my attack ability was strengthened quite a bit . The status reduction is pretty bad…but having more hands allows for a greater variation in strategy . ”

At Maple Tree, the most important thing was raising attack ability .

It should be obvious, given that there were no players or monsters that had ever gone passed Maple’s iron defense and killed one of the guild members .

“And even if it wasn’t, I’m pretty sure I would manage just fine… So, what should we do? It looks like no one has been killed yet . ”

“We should wait then . Maybe they’ll all come out here . ”

“That’s true . Hmm . There are no more monsters coming out . ”

After the two of them waited there for some time, they heard a giant explosion echo within the mist .

And then, Izu came rolling out . She was carrying bombs under her arms and panting while drinking an HP recovery potion .

“Haahh…haaa… . So, I got out then…”

“You’re alright! Amazing!”

“But I lost a lot of materials and gold… Ahhh . I won’t be able to make new items for a while…”

Izu sat down on the ground and glared angrily at the thick mist behind her .

She had been spreading bombs and attack items while she ran . And when she ran out of materials, she converted her gold . The sheer amount of items used allowed her to blow away the monsters .

“Well, your safety is the most important thing . And I’ll help you find more materials . Your items have helped me out a lot anyway . ”

“It makes me very happy to hear you say that…”

“Uh, Kasumi . It looks like someone else is coming . ”

Kanade looked towards the mist just as he heard the sound of cutting wind .

And then, four red masses tore out from the thick fog .

“Mai! Yui!”

“Yay! We finally got out of the fog! Woah!”

“Hey, Yui, Ahh!”

The two of them had come out with their backs together and their arms spread open as they rotated . But they were so surprised to see the other three that they fell flat on their faces .

In order to automatically kill any monsters that approached them, they had advanced by spinning like a typhoon, with their great hammers extended .

Since they couldn’t react in time and attack, they used this power move that allowed them to constantly spam their one-hit-kill attack .

“Are you alright? Both of you?”

“Uhh… I feel dizzy…”

“Izu…I think I may have pushed myself too hard . ”

At least the violent wind that Mai and Yui had created had been strong enough to blow every monster away, and none of them ever got close .

“So, it’s just Chrome now . Well, I’m sure he will be fine . ”

“Yes . He’s certifiably stubborn . ”

When Mai and Yui were fully recovered . A very late Chrome finally came out of the thick mist .

“Hahhh… I’m the last one then . ”

“See . He’s in perfectly good shape . ”

“And his health is full too . ”

“Uh, well… I was constantly surrounded but somehow got out . And if I couldn’t get out, then I just killed them . So my level went up a little . ”

In the first place, Chrome always found it a little excessive how the members of Maple Tree were able to so easily beat large groups of enemies on their own .

Even Izu, who wasn’t really suited for combat, had broken through . So Chrome wasn’t wrong about their annihilation ability .

This was even more obvious given the fact that they had faced much larger guilds during the fourth event .

“I think you’re plenty excessive too, just in a different direction, Chrome . ”

“Yes . You were able to break through even after being surrounded . ”

And so the trap that separated the group had not been much of an obstacle after all . Now that the six were reunited, they decided to continue .

“There is a monster that uses instant kill magic up ahead . So let’s take these . ”

Izu said as she handed everyone a ring that had a red gemstone set into it .

“It’s a ‘Decoy Ring . ’ It will protect you from instant kills three times . ”

“…You had such an item?”

Chrome had never seen it before .

“It’s a new item I made with the materials that the zombies dropped . Hehe . I took it in exchange for everything I lost while making the bombs . ”

Through the use of New Frontier, Izu was able to make items that were usually not possible . And among the numerous options, she chose to make equipment and items with the best abilities .

“This will make things a lot easier . ”

“Yes . And I can save the resistance enchantment books . ”

“Alright, let’s go then . Traps that separate us aren’t that bad, but if it attacks our feet, I won’t be able to protect everyone . So be careful . ”

They were wary of traps that there was no information about . And just like before, Kasumi and Kanade took the lead and dealt with the monsters .

Mai and Yui were behind Chrome along with Izu .

“Kasumi has gotten stronger again . She must have cut a lot of monsters in that mist . ”

As monsters would not get close to Chrome, he could only watch Kasumi’s movements as he protected Mai and Yui .

“The boss fight will be coming up soon . Are you two ready?”

“We’re ready! Ah, uh…the fire item you gave us was really useful, Izu!”

“I saw that you were using it when you came out . That attack method was…a little surprising . ”

The reason Izu said ‘a little’ after seeing them spinning around with great hammers was because she was getting used to this kind that thing .

As they talked like that, they continued to make their way through the fifth floor .

Ultimately, while they did not breeze through it as easily as Maple and Sally, the monsters were not much of a burden for the members of Maple Tree .
