Chapter 147
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 147
Defense Specialization the Strongest 3
The two opposing monsters came close and traded blows .
Until now it had been about skill, but now it was sheer physical power .
There was no dodging here . Both sides merely returned one attack for another .
“I won’t lose!”
Maple spat out a torrent of flame at the Oni .
The Oni’s red glowing fist slammed into Maple’s body .
And just as the Oni’s HP bar went below 20% .
“Uh…!”
The outer layer that covered Maple crumbled, and she fell to the ground .
While Maple’s attack power had gone up, it was still no match for the Oni .
And so it was no surprise that her shell was the first to break after she had received so many piercing attacks .
“‘Hydra’! Syrup ‘Awakening,’ ‘Enlarge’!”
Maple called out Syrup once again and contained the Oni with poison as he tried to approach .
The Oni had stopped trying to dodge now, so while he continued to take damage, he was also hitting with his fists .
“‘Oozing Chaos’! …tsk, Syrup! ‘Mother Nature’!”
She continued to hold him back with a barrage of skills . Then she jumped onto Syrup’s back and flew into the air .
“I better hurry! Woah!?”
Syrup’s body lurched to the side .
The Oni’s hand burst through the barricade of vines that Syrup had made, and wind shot out like a bullet at them .
“Syrup!”
One hit was all that was necessary to take Syrup down, and Maple plunged back to the ground .
The Oni’s fist thrust into the air under Maple as she fell .
Her great shield just happened to be positioned so as to block the blow, but she could not stay put when she was in the air .
Maple was thrown back with a force that was more than a mere knockback . And while she didn’t take any damage, she was never that good with guarding in the first place .
She might not be able to block the next one .
As she lay on the ground, she could see the Oni running towards her .
If he caught up, she would not be able to escape this time .
Right then, Maple found something on the ground and had an idea .
“‘Quick Change’!”
A blue light surrounded Maple and in a flash, her equipment turned into something that was pure white .
“This…!”
Maple picked up one of the potions that she had scattered on the ground without using and quickly healed all of her HP .
By then, the Oni’s fist was nearly upon her .
“‘Aegis’!”
A glimmering red damage effect covered the white light . Maple became covered in a white dome .
For 10 seconds, she would be completely invincible .
Every attack against Maple would be nullified .
“‘Quick Change,’ ‘Acid Rain’!”
She used all the skills that she could muster to their limits in order to deal as much damage as she could .
The Oni’s HP was now down to 10%, but Maple was frantic as she looked at the drops of poison on her shortsword .
Maple didn’t have any defense or offense skills she could use once ‘Aegis’ was over .

Maple was starting to think that she wouldn’t survive this . But just then, a skill she had forgotten suddenly appeared in the corner of her mind .
“That’s it…that!”
Just as she remembered, ‘Aegis’s’ time was up, and the Oni’s attacks started again .
“‘Frozen Earth’!”
A life extension . Invaluable three seconds .
The forgotten skill poured from Maple’s mouth .
“… ‘Break Core . ’”
A hole opened up where Maple’s heart was, and a small sphere that glowed red shot out of it .
Once it was nearly 2-meters away from Maple, it stopped .
5 seconds until completion .
She used ‘Indomitable Guardian’ to endure the last powerful piercing attack, and then she used one of the potions that were on the ground and chuckled sadly .
Immediately after, Maple and the Oni rose up into the air around the sphere as if being freed from gravity . And then they began to rotate around the sphere .
“Mr . Oni…I think this is a draw . But! I will come back so I can go to the 5th layer!”
The skill inside of the ‘Machine God . ’
The only skill that didn’t cost you your equipment .
Yes, what Maple had forgotten was that this skill was a self-destruct skill in the truest sense .
It had been written in the description . It nullified all attacks within a set range and then self-destructed . Everyone would be dealt with immense damage . The word ‘self-destruct’ in the description had been enough to make Maple forget about this skill .
“Goodbye!”
Maple closed her eyes and waited for the moment to arrive . After a brief moment, an explosion that pierced the sky shot up and incinerated both Maple and the Oni completely .
“Ahh… Hmph, I was so close . ”
Maple mumbled with closed eyes .
She was so mentally exhausted that she wanted to fall asleep right there . She had not expected to feel this depressed over losing .
“Fine…I’ll log out for today . ”
Maple put her hands on the ground and pulled herself up and opened her eyes .
“Huh? Why?”
She was still in the wilderness that she had fought the Oni in .
And the thing that lay at her feet, was the Oni himself .
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website “Hmmm? Hmm? Why?”
Maple was sure that she had self-destructed . But then she saw that she still had half of her HP bar and wondered .
“Is it because of my defense ability…? Yes…yes! Hehe! Defense really is the most important after all!”
Maple was overjoyed that her overwhelming defense ability had saved her . And then she looked at the fallen Oni .
“Are…you okay?”
She knelt down and poked the Oni until he got up and opened his mouth .
