Chapter 180
Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 180 Defense Specialization and the Haunted Mansion 3
Just as Sally had been teleported away, Maple also found herself in a different place .
“Uhhh…Sally?”
Maple looked around her, but she could not see Sally anywhere .
Maple was currently in a room somewhere .
There was a closet with no doors and a bed covered in dust . The sheets were torn up and the floorboards were missing in some places .
“I have to find her!”
Maple grabbed the doorknob in order to leave, but it only rattled when she tried to turn it, and would not open .
There was no keyhole, and she could not understand why it wouldn’t open .
“Mmph…Agh! Can I break it? I’ll try . ”
Maple said as she aimed her gun barrels at it .
Just then, she heard something creak behind her, and she turned around to look .
It was a dark shadow that looked like it was the blackness of night after being solidified .
“Wait…uh, ‘Throne of the Heavenly King’!”
Maple quickly conjured the throne and sat on it .
“Even if I can’t observe it carefully like Sally usually does, I can do this!”
Maple looked at the actions of the shadow .
It was human in shape as it stretched a hand out towards her, but nothing happened .
“In any case…it seems fine? Alright . ‘Commence Attack’!”
While Maple tried to attack it with bullets, they all went straight through it and hit the wall in the back .
The shadow continued to approach her and then attacked her directly . But they all bounced off .
“Hmmm . I guess physical attacks won’t work on it then… Will the door open if I kill it? Hmm… Oh!”
Maple leaned forward and stuck her head into the shadow’s body .
However, even when she tried moving her mouth, she just went right through it .
“It really is no use . Hm? Oh, I know!”
Maple remembered something and went into her inventory to take out an item .
It was the remaining sheets of paper that she used to deal damage to the king of light’s feet .
As fire and wind attacks did not affect the king, she had plenty of them left .
“It’ll be scary if it burns, so I’ll use wind…there!”
After Maple used the item, a wind blew into the room and cut into the shadow in front of her .
“Yes, yes . Take another one!”
Maple continued to stick the sheets of paper onto the shadow .
The black shadow was only slightly stronger than typical grunts, and it died after only 10 sheets of paper were used .
As there were few players who would use these close up without any skills, its firepower was set relatively high .
When the shadow disappeared, she heard the click of a lock opening behind her .
“Did it open? But there was no keyhole . ”
Translations by AsianHobbyist WebsiteMaple dismissed the throne and turned the doorknob .
This time, the door opened smoothly .
“Yes! I can get out!”
Maple left the room hurriedly so that she would not be trapped in again .
“I’ll have to be careful of the floor as I look for Sally . I don’t want to get teleported again . ”
Maple ran down the hallway .
As for Sally, she was currently shivering under a desk in a room that she had found herself in .
As she could not leave, there was nothing to do but wait for Maple’s arrival .
“I-I know…a message . ”
Sally sent a message to Maple .
All it said was that she wanted her help, and there was nothing in it to actually improve her situation, but Sally did not realize this .
“I’ll stay here for a while…”
And by that, she meant that she would wait until Maple came for her .
Or in other words, forever if need be .
However, this room was not made to be so merciful to Sally .
The door in the room opened with a creaking sound .
Sally could not see it from under the desk, but there was something walking towards her .
Hearing this, Sally covered her mouth with both hands to stop her breathing and erase her presence .
The broken floorboards were squeaking .
The sounds were slowly getting closer to the desk, until finally, Sally could see the pale feet right in front of her eyes .
“…!!”
Sally prayed that they would pass her, and her prayers were answered . The feet that hardly looked human moved passed her and continued on .
“…”
Just as Sally was starting to feel relieved, the alert for a new message rang .
Maple was kind, and there was no way that she would not reply .
The footsteps suddenly came back towards her, and it was all that Sally could do to roll out from under the desk and jump out of the room .
“Maple! Maple! Heeeelp meee!”
She screamed without thinking . And in reply, hands sprouted from the floor and walls and a child ghost that was covered in blood appeared before her .
“‘Super Acceleration’! Super Acceleration, Super Acceleration!”
Sally ran like crazy and threw herself into a different room .
However, she could not avoid the ghosts that were overflowing from that room either .
Sally was lost, and she found herself going deeper and deeper into the mansion as she ran .
