Chapter 197
Defense Specialization and the Mansion 4
And so, the swords were flying and towards Maple at high speed .
“Aaargh!”
Maple managed to cover her face from the swords with her arm .
“Ugh… Great, I’m all right . ”
One after another, Maple repelled all the swords and spears back at the armor with her bare flesh .
She had blocked all of the attacks with her body, and she didn’t receive any damage .
“Which was the skill that I could use…? ‘Throne of the Heavenly King’?”
As Maple said those words, a white throne appeared behind her .
Maple sat down and she waited for a little while thinking about how long the throne would take to disappear, but she still could not hear the girls’ voices .
“I see… So, this wasn’t dangerous . Don’t I have a skill that can deal damage?”
Maple thought that ‘Pandemonium I’ was going to be useless and didn’t even try using it .
For Maple, who had lost all means of attack, it was the only thing that she could rely on .
Maple started to walk while she fending off the swords, with a faint hope that she could use that in a boss fight instead .
“Ugh… There are too many doors . I’m going to teach that armor a lesson…“
Despite being attacked by that armor’s more than ten swords from all directions, she finally reached the door that appeared on the wall .
“Yes! I did it!”
As soon as Maple opened the door, she immediately closed it and held it tight with both hands .
However, it wasn’t the fearful armor she was chasing before, so she sat down for a moment and calmed herself down .
“Whew… well, what should I do? I still have one set of equipment but I don’t want to use it yet . ”
Even without her armor, which increases her HP and defense, Maple still had more endurance than she needed .
An attack that could penetrate Maple’s four-digit defense, would usually kill any other player instantly .
But there’s nothing around that can manage to do that .
For that reason, Maple didn’t really have to worry about being attacked .
“All right! I’ll get it back for sure!”
Maple started walking through the corridor feeling enthusiastic .
Since she didn’t know where her objective was, she couldn’t just pass through the room this time around .
She had to open all the doors she could find .
Even though she knew most of them could contain traps .
“Ah… Excuse me!”
She took a deep breath and entered the room, shrugging as she checked the area .
When she entered the room, she could see a table about five meters long surrounded by beautiful chairs, with a candlestick on top of it .
There’s a painting of a landscape hanging from the distorted wall .
“Let me see… Well, the wall seems a little unstable but there’s nothing special here . ”
Maple investigated under the table and behind the painting, but it wasn’t any different from her first impression, and she couldn’t find anything .
“Ok, it looks all right… oh . ”
When she finished checking the painting in the middle and turned around, the table, the candlestick and the paintings were covered in a blue light .
“Hey! Wait…!”
But it didn’t turn out the way she wanted, and the chairs went flying towards Maple and hit her body .
”I was fine even with the swords… But this…! There are so many!”
After the chairs had crashed against Maple’s body with a loud crash, they started piling up, so Maple tried to somehow climb over the remaining pile of chairs and paintings .
But apart from that, at the top of the mountain of chairs and paintings, the lit candlestick burned brightly .
“Huh!?”
Before she could escape, she was caught within terribly strong flames that burst all around her .
The fire created by the great number of chair legs and the paintings became a pillar of fire way taller than Maple .
And then, after everything had burned out and turned to ashes, Maple was standing there as if nothing happened .
“Phew… I wasn’t not wearing any armor, so I’m glad that my clothes didn’t burn out…”
Maple quickly wiped her clothes to remove the soot and walked outside the room .
As she was leaving, she glared firmly at the candlestick which had returned to the table .
“… You’re such a bad boy, aren’t you?”
She said that with an offended expression on her face . Then she took out some glue from her inventory and smeared it under the candlestick, fixing it back to its original location .
Maple was thinking that the strong glue she got as a drop from a monster would perfectly bind the candlestick to the desk .
“That’s right, that’s what you deserve!”
She opened the door with way more energy than when she first came in, and left the room .
