Chapter 157
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 157
Defense Specialization and the Elite Corps
The once peaceful jungle was now echoing with the sounds of multiple battles .
There were more players here now, and one of them was Pain .
“Hah!”
Pain blocked an attack with his shield and cut the monster open with his sword .
It didn’t take Pain too long to kill all of the monsters that were surrounding him .
“Good . Now, what do we have here?”
Pain looked through the dropped items but didn’t find anything special .
Pain had already discovered several moss-covered ruins, but none of them led to him acquiring anything in particular .
“I have to move carefully . ”
Pain’s HP was already down by 30% .
He hadn’t taken any strong hits, but the sheer number of enemies had very slowly chipped away at him .
And since he could not heal here, he wanted to avoid getting damaged as much as possible .
Pain began to walk again, in order to find something new .
As Pain walked, the faint sounds of a battle reached his ears . He had been in this jungle for a while now but had only heard others fighting a few times .
He was struggling with his exploration, even though he was using all of the information he had gotten .
“There may be something . I should just go and check . ”
Pain reached the place where the sounds were coming from . But there were dense and tall bushes, and he could not see what was happening inside .
However, Pain had a feeling that whatever was happening, was not normal .
It wasn’t surprising, since this suspicious bush was thicker than any Pain had ever seen before .
“…I should look inside . ”
Pain spread the bushes apart and was just about to go inside when the sounds of fighting stopped .
Instead, the bush started to shake, and he could hear the sound of something coming closer to him .
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website Pain raised his shield and pulled out his sword in preparation to fight . He would fight whatever it was that was coming out of the bushed . The sound became louder, and the tip of something shot out of the bushes .
“Here it comes!”
The face that popped out in front of Pain was familiar . No, it was the face of an unforgettable monster .
“Hahh…I’m tired… Oh, you’re…Pain, right?”
It was the head of a monster with no pupils .
And the voice that came from it was also familiar .
It was without a doubt, Maple’s voice .
After meeting, the two walked together for a short while, and then sat down in a small clearing .
Maple was still in her monster form .
Since there were limits on healing, she could not discard this valuable outer layer .
Pain sat down by the root of a tree, and Maple lay her long body next to it .
“So, you’re going to stay like that?”
“…? Yes, I guess . ”
“I see…”
Pain felt a little uncomfortable deep down, but if she said she was going to stay like that, then there was nothing he could say .
The reason that they were together now was simple . They had decided to explore together .
It was hard to meet others in this wide field . And this chance encounter between two strong players was an opportunity that neither Maple or Pain was going to ignore .
Translations by AsianHobbyist Website Pain suggested this to Maple, and Maple had no reason to refuse him .
And Maple did not think very deeply about it .
The only thing that she considered was that having someone with her during an attack like the last one, would make it easier to escape .
And so this elite corps was born .
