Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 188


Defense Specialization and Inside the Darkness 2

After a while, Maple stopped and tore through the monster’s skin and fell to the ground . It was more about finally having the resolve to deactivate Savagery than it was about finishing the gathering of information .

“For now, ‘Deploy all Weapons’!”

As she was prepared to leave at full power, she called out Syrup and had it enlarged .

“Syrup! ‘Soul Canon’!”

This was an attack method that Maple had thought of as she was running around .

The light that shot out of Syrup cut through the darkness and sucked up the small ghosts in its path .

“Okay, I can do this! Thank you, Syrup!”

As there would still be piercing attacks, she was unable to use Dedicated Affection .

Maple decided to protect Syrup with her shield, like the great shield-wielder bearer that she originally was .

“Shield, check! Salt, check!”

Maple made sure that she had the items as she flew straight towards the place that Syrup had opened for her .

She left a trail of blazing fire in the darkness behind her as she blasted towards the boss and launched the salt over it before landing .

“Oomph . It’s so hard to land in the darkness…”

Maple then flew towards the throne and fell into it as if she were rolling .

She had Syrup stand by on her side, and there was no need to worry about the smaller ghosts using any skills .

“Phew… Syrup’s attack works the best, so I will just have to wait until I can use it again . ”

Maple dealt with the small ghosts by using her items .

And if the boss ever reached out towards her again, she would use an explosion on the throne to launch herself up in the air for an emergency escape .

“Alright, this is good…Syrup!”

As Maple was getting rid of the small ghosts, the boss was attempting to attack Syrup with piercing attacks .

“Oh, uh . ‘Dedicated Affection’!”

The small ghosts were so numerous that Maple could not leave the throne, but she frantically tried to protect Syrup .

“Ohh…ahhh… ‘Meditation’!”

As long as she was not lifted from the throne, ‘Meditation’ and the throne’s recovering effect would be enough .

In other words, she wouldn’t lose even if Syrup was targeted .

However, it was a big problem for Maple that recovering like this did damage as well .

“Ohhh…it stings . ”

There was a constant pain running through Maple’s body .

Maple felt like she was being tortured on the throne as she waited for the attacks to stop .

After a while, the ghost stopped . It then moved away and began to summon more of its underlings .

“Syrup, are you alright? Uhh…what should I do? I don’t think I can endure that again . ”

Even if she could endure it according to the numbers, it was unbearable for her otherwise .

Things would be very bad if Syrup continued to be targeted . It was as Maple was thinking this that she got a flash of insight .

However, it could hardly be called insight .

“…I just need to return Syrup to my ring…I’m an idiot . ”

As soon as Syrup returned to the ring, the pain disappeared completely .

There was no need to have Syrup next to her at all times .

“I just need to call Syrup when it’s safe . Alright, my bad!”

Maple quickly switched gears and looked forward .

The enemy was still not defeated .

As long as it could use piercing attacks, she did not have time to think idly .

“For now, I’ll move away and call Syrup again . It’s too hard without Soul Canon . ”

Maple spread out her weapons over the throne and caused an explosion . The weapons were destroyed as she launched up into the air and put as much space between her and the ghost as she could .

“Alright, now I’ll bring Syrup out . ”

Maple called Syrup out and protected it until it could use ‘Soul Canon’ again .

“Syrup ‘Soul Canon’!”

She attacked whenever Syrup was able to, and when it couldn’t, she carried it after it had shrunken down . When this happened, Maple used Dedicated Affection to protect it from the explosive flames as she flew around and evaded the enemy .

Maple was able to repeat this over and over again . It was a rare battle where she did not take any damage from the monster she was fighting .

“I’ve dealt quite a lot of damage…?!”

Maple realized here that there was a very visible change occurring .

It had been quite dark up until now, but she was able to see her own body and the boss . It was about the same darkness as a moonlit night .

However, currently, Maple was unable to see Syrup, who was now enlarged and nearby, and she could also not see the throne or monster .

Maple was surrounded in a thick darkness that was no different to when she closed her eyes .

“Wh-where are you?! Syrup!”

Maple had Syrup return to her ring and then crouched behind her shield as she looked around .

“Where will it come from? Umm…”

Maple squinted, but it didn’t change the fact that it was so dark, she could not even see her hands .

“I know, a lantern!”

Maple took out a lantern from her inventory and tried to light it .

However, the light was enveloped by darkness, and it disappeared as if something had snuffed out the candle .
