Chapter 107
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri s . h . i . tai to Omoimasu 107
Defense Specialization and Destructor
It wasn’t until morning that Maple started to move .
This was because she could not leave the guild until they had protected all 10 of the orbs that Sally had collected .
Sally was sleeping in the back as if she was dead, and she was not likely to wake up any time soon .
Kanade had copied the information on Sally’s map to everyone else’s .
Furthermore, they did not have to search for repair items, thanks to Izu .
Which meant that they had very little reason to go outside .
There were only a few guilds that would attack Maple Tree just because Maple was not there, and so the members of Maple Tree quickly started to feel bored .
“What should we do? Maybe we could send just one person outside? You know, to cut down the number of players out there . ”
It was Kasumi who reacted to this idea that Chrome had .
“Hmm…I will go . I think that Izu’s bombs and Yui and Mai are more than enough to protect this place . ”
So saying, Kasumi started to walk towards the exit .
“Don’t push yourself too hard . ”
“Yeah, I won’t do so much that I’ll get killed . ”
Kasumi answered Chrome, before disappearing out the exit .
Kasumi had spent much of the first day with Izu .
These two generally needed help from the terrain in order to steal orbs, so they were more fit for eliminating the number of compet . i . tors .
You didn’t have to worry about equipment durability if Izu was with you, so she had made several rounds at night where she killed random players .
Even if Maple wasn’t there, Maple Tree would not allow any a . s . sailant to walk away safely .
Anyone who had died to them once was sure to avoid their base after that .
Another reason that fewer players were attacking Maple Tree now, was that Kasumi and Izu were increasing the number of deaths for other players in the area .
It was something that slowly but surely had an effect .
And so she decided to focus on killing other players today as well .
“Now…I guess I should go in the opposite direction as Maple . ”
It was senseless to look for unharmed players in the direction that Maple went through .
“Alright, this way . ”
Kasumi decided to go inside the forest, where there would be many places to hide .
It would be useful not only for hiding but it was also a place where many other players went, so she came here often .
“Yes…there’s one . ”
Kasumi found a player and immediately slashed at the player’s back .
“You’re not very cautious . ”
The player noticed her and slashed back with his sword .
However, Kasumi parried the attack and countered .
It was a move that she had repeated many times, and it was especially useful for this event .
Kasumi killed three players before continuing her walk .
She exited the forest after walking for some time and ran into another player .
“…Oh, now there’s a familiar face . ”
“…I’m leaving . ”
Kasumi tried to slip away, but the other player didn’t seem like he wanted her to .
“I was going to invite you into our guild . ”
“Sorry about that . But Maple asked first . ”
Every guild needed valuable personnel .
It wasn’t just Maple Tree that had had eyes on Kasumi and Chrome .
The man who now stood in front of Kasumi mumbled in regret and stared at her .
“I lost in the first event, you know…so I intend to win this one . ”
So saying, he pulled out his sword and shield . He was Shin, also known as Destructor .
Kasumi had fought him directly during the first event, and she had won .
“Hah…I’m going to kill you!”
Kasumi also unsheathed her blade .
With a name like Destructor, it was obvious that he had a unique ability .
“‘Destructor’!”
With this cry, his sword crumbled into pieces and floated up into the air .
They turned into 10 separate swords that were miniature duplicates of the original .
He had a shield in one hand, and 10 swords in the air .
Fighting while controlling all of those swords was his ‘Destructor’ style .
“Haah!!”
Shin’s swords shot towards Kasumi one after another .
“Hhh!”
Kasumi let out a short breath as she did her best to strike the swords out of the air, parry and focus on defending herself .
However, Kasumi didn’t have the same dodging ability as Sally, and she could not avoid taking damage .
But she could bear it .
Another thing that made her different from Sally, was her high HP .
She could continue to fight, as long as she avoided the swords that aimed for the center of her body .
“‘First of the Blades . Kagerou’!”
She teleported in front of Shin and slashed at him .
But her attack was blocked by his shield .
“As always…that is quite the skill . I wouldn’t be able to deal with it without this shield . ”
“Hah…there are some people who can dodge it!”
She swung back at him again .
However, this attack was also blocked, and then Sally felt a sword flying at her back, and so she retreated .
As they had fought each other before, they knew a little about each other . And they were currently unable to find an unguarded moment or deal a definitive blow .
But also, quite a lot of time had pa . s . sed since the first event .
And it was not as if both had been staying in stasis, they had grown in some ways .
Both of them knew, that it was the one who would somehow push through, that would end up surviving this encounter .
