Defense Specialization and Changing Formation

When the sun came down on the second day, all of the members of Maple Tree were at the base .

“Maple destroyed almost all of the traps around Ifrit’s Kingdom, and it should take them quite a while to recover…but it sucks that they got away with the orb . ”

“I’m sorry, Sally . We searched everywhere, but we couldn’t find it . ”

“It would be good if they were attacking surrounding guilds…but I don’t know . ”

The reason that Maple had attacked them was so that Ifrit’s Kingdom would demolish some of the guilds that were above Maple Tree .

It was necessary to make some of the large guilds run wild in order for Maple Tree to rise .

This was also because the smaller guilds had been defeated much faster than expected . Most of the fighting was now between medium-sized guilds and larger ones, and using those medium-sized guilds to wreck the field was becoming less effective .

Maple Tree’s goal was to be in the top 10 .

The reward was the same regardless if you were number 1 or 10, so that was their current goal .

And Maple Tree was number 6 right now .

But since the rest of the top 10 were large guilds, they stuck out even more than the number 1 guild .

“Well, it’s pretty obvious . The difference in numbers…”

“But we’re still higher than I would have expected . I didn’t honestly think that we would make it this far . ”

However, it was clear that even if Sally made a full recovery, it would be very difficult to make their way to the number 1 spot .

“It’s still just the second day, so it’s not like we don’t have a chance . But…I at least don’t want to fall behind any more . ”

The members of Maple Tree discussed it, and it was decided that Izu and Kanade would remain while the rest would all go out into the battlefield at night .

The first team would be Sally, Yui, and Mai .

The other would be Maple, Kasumi and Chrome .

“Okay, let’s go!”

“Goodbye . Kanade and I will be waiting here . ”

Sally’s map had been copied for everyone else, and so they planned to attack different guilds and then return .

Sally’s team were now hiding in the bushes and waiting for their chance to attack .

While Maple’s team was attacking Ifrit’s Kingdom, Sally had Kasumi slash at her with her sword to test to see how much her dodging ability had dropped .

The result was that she felt like she was ready to go back into the field, and so she decided to partic . i . p . ate in the attack .

“Phew…alright!”

Sally jumped out of the bushes they were hiding behind, and ran towards the orb .

“Intruder! Get her!”

“Yes…! I can see it!”

Sally dodged the attacks that came at her and cut the players as she targeted the orb .

“Surround her! Don’t let her escape!”

The players were quick to organize, and they moved in to surround her .

“Something more horrible will happen if you only focus on me…”

Just as Sally said this, a player who was focused on Sally was . . h . i . t by a shock wave that tore him to shreds with one hit .

The other players who turned to look were immediately cut open by Sally, forcing them to choose a point of focus .

Many of the players were worried about what was in the bushes, but continued to face Sally .

But that only meant that they would take longer to react to Yui and Mai when they came out of the bushes .

The iron b . a . l . l . s that Yui and Mai were throwing hit the players in the back, and they died without ever understanding what was happening .

This caused the other players to become incredibly restless .

Much like Maple, their unknowable attack power had the ability to stop people’s minds from processing what they were seeing .

“Oboro, ‘Shadow Clone’!”

And then something else happened that caught their eye, and they could no longer think rationally .

Just as they scrambled to do something about Sally’s clones, Yui and Mai came out with their great hammers .

The great hammers let out a dull ring as the launched several players into the air at once, turning them into sparkles of light .

“I-Impossible…”

“‘Double Stamp’!”

“‘Double Stamp’!”

Yui and Mai stamped out the enemy one after another .

Of course, if the enemy could only attack Yui and Mai, that would be the end of it . But they were too shocked to do such a thing, and those who weren’t stunned, had their backs towards Sally as they attacked . And Sally was not about to stand and watch, and they died under the painful blows she inflicted .

It was easy for Sally to be able to tell which players were trying to fight Yui and Mai .

Sally was protecting Yui and Mai in a different way than Maple .

All three of them had starting stats when it came to health, and so they would die in one hit .

However, they were controlling the battle in order to prevent such a situation from becoming possible .

“Now, to take the orb… Let’s try using more iron b . a . l . l . s next time . ”

“Yes!!”

“Yes!!”

And so the three of them walked towards their next destination .

Kanade and Izu were bored as they waited for the others to return .

“The guilds around here have given up on attacking us…it’s so boring . ”

“Maybe a far away guild that doesn’t know about us might come…Oh . ”

Speak of the devil . Players were now rushing in through the entrance .

The players looked at the two from afar and understood that one was a crafter and the other was the rear guard .

“We can do this! They don’t have any advance guard!”

Players with swords and shields walked out into the front .

“Well, let’s do this then . ”

“Yeah . ”

Izu had bombs in her hands, Kanade brought out his floating bookshelves .

The reason that Maple Tree decided to leave these two for the defense was not that they had to in order to prioritize going on the offense .

It was because Kanade and Izu were more than enough to defend the base .
