Chapter 231
Itai no wa iya 231
Defense Specialization and the Tower’s 5th Floor 4
The sixth of them continued on after that . And they soon arrived in front of the boss area without any trouble .
“Apparently, there are no monsters in this area . ”
“Then we should prepare . Kasumi and I will keep our guard up as we wait . ”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea . ”
While Chrome and Kasumi watched behind them, Kanade and Izu cast buffs on May and Yui .
“This and this and also, drink this . ”
“Mmm…glug…”
“Ahh…good!”
Drinking numerous potions and pills, and getting buffs from Kanade was a ritual they performed before every boss fight .
Once they were done, there were auras of various colors shining around them .
“We’re ready when you are!”
“We’re ready when you are!”
“Alright, then let’s go . I’ll take the lead . ”
The two raised their glimmering great hammers . That was the signal for all six of them to charge into the boss area .
Just like the previous area, it was a wasteland that was covered in a thick mist . As there were no notable obstructions, it meant that they would have to face the boss head-on .
It was then that the boss detected them and stepped forward . It was a headless knight .
Blue flames erupted over the stump of its neck . It wore rusted armor and held a large sword as it rode on its zombie horse .
The horse neighed loudly and then charged forward .
“Let’s go, sister!”
“Yes…!”
“I’ll make an opening for you! Hahhh!”
Chrome used his great shield to block the boss’s sword and make an opening .
And as the boss got closer, the four great hammers that glimmered as brightly as its fire-head came crashing mercilessly down .
“Double Strike!”
“Double Strike!”
There was a thunderous echo of the armor being hit, and the HP bar diminished dramatically . The boss swung its sword again, but Chrome easily blocked it .
“Here goes the new item…!”
Izu jumped out and placed the item on the ground near the horse . It immediately exploded loudly and then a bolt of lightning hit the ground .
This item was able to stop the boss’s movements for several seconds . And the effect of that was massive for Maple Tree .
“Yui! One more time!”
“Okay!”
It was Kasumi’s job to help whenever Chrome wasn’t able to make it in time, but that was not necessary here . Because the boss was beaten to a pulp by the pair until it exploded into nothing .
“Phew… It’s like a different game . Though, not quite in the same way as Maple . ”
Kasumi said . She hadn’t really had anything to do, but Yui and Mai were very happy to have been of use .
“I know . ”
Agreed Chrome . All he had done was block two attacks .
“Well, protecting them is important . If they won easily, that means we did our jobs right . ”
As Chrome and Kasumi were strong against swarms of enemies, they usually did most of their work while on the move . On the other hand, Mai and Yui were practically specialized for boss fights .
“I’m going to make the items I had to use, so give me a minute . ”
Izu opened up her workshop and remade the important buff items, MP potions, and bombs .
As she could create items from gold and use the workshop in any place, they never had to return due to a lack of items .
Before battle, during battle, and after battle . Wherever you looked, they were distinct from other guilds .
And like that, they continued onward in order to trample over the boss on the next floor .
“I hope Maple is making steady progress . ”
“Of course, she is . In the first place, I don’t want to go up against something that was able to stop Maple . ”
“That’s true…”
Shortly after the sixth of them left the easy 5th floor boss behind them, Maple could be seen fighting it herself .
She had activated Savagery and had turned into a monster . She was now biting the zombie horse and trying to tear it apart .
The boss area was filled with pale flames and overflowing with zombies . The knight on top of the horse was swinging two swords .
The scene felt like hell itself . However, Sally was nowhere to be seen .
Maple kicked, rammed and crushed the zombies as she opened a path through them .
Her HP had not gone down at all . But the boss was slowly approaching its death .
“Alright! Now, it’s done!”
She trampled over it from the front one last time . And with that, Maple achieved victory before it was able to change its movement patterns .
“Uhhh…the way to the sixth layer is…over there!”
Maple stomped towards the teleportation circle and moved on top of it . The 5th floor soon disappeared, and she came out into a place that was surrounded by rough walls like a cave .
“Alright…it should be fine now . You can come out, Sally!”
Maple said as she opened her mouth . There was a wet splat as Sally rolled out .
“Ugghhh…I think I might be sick…”
Sally was quite dizzy and had to lie down on the ground .
Yes, Sally had been in Maple’s mouth this whole time . And Maple had been running around very quickly .
Maple returned to human form and then approached Sally with a smug expression .
“But, at least you didn’t have to look at anything, right?”
“I suppose . Yes, that was good . ”
Sally saw Maple’s expression and laughed a little as she picked herself up .
In other words, if she couldn’t be protected while staying close to Maple, she needed to get closer . And so she was put away inside of Maple’s body .
“Though, it wasn’t the prettiest sight either… I guess that’s what it feels like to be eaten . ”
“Ah, right . I was eaten once too! I was so surprised…”
“In any case, now I can fight again…I think . The 6th floor is fine, isn’t it?”
Sally looked worried as she gazed at the cave that stretched out in front of them .
And then a golem with a body that shone like a diamond suddenly appeared .
“Yes…it’s just a normal monster…”
“Hehe . Now you can make up for the 5th floor!”
“Leave it to me! I’ll do enough that you can take a break, Maple!”
And like that, Maple and the reinvigorated Sally moved to conquer the 6th floor .
