Chapter 249
Defense Specialization and the Tower’s 10th Floor 4
Now that the boss had finished changing its form, it prepared to attack . The five swords at its back started to fly towards Maple and Sally at an incredible speed .
Sally not only dodged them easily, but she pulled Maple out of the way with her web as well .
“‘Cover Move’ is no use . Double damage now would be bad!”
“Yes, thank you!”
After they moved out of the way, the swords stopped in the air and then turned towards them again .
That was when they both realized that five new swords had appeared at the back of the boss, and their eyes widened .
“There’s more!?”
“Maple! Let’s finish this quickly!”
“Y-yes!”
They knew the situation was only going to get worse, and so they moved in on the boss .
“‘Provoke’! …I’ll stop it somehow! You attack it, Sally!”
“Okay . I’m counting on you!”
While the 10 swords flew towards Maple, Sally faced the boss alone .
“Syrup, ‘Rampart’!”
Several walls came up and surrounded Maple . While they were destroyed on impact, they managed to stop some of the swords .
She also guarded with the great shield in spite of the depletion from Bizzare Eater, but three of the swords still stabbed into Maple’s body . After being hit directly, Syrup’s HP was reduced to 0, and half of Maple’s HP was taken away .
“Agghh… Sally, you can do it!”
“Oboro, ‘Shadow Clone’! ‘Wind Cutter’!”
She used magic to force the boss to guard and then used her Shadow Clones to provoke it into attacking .
“As long as I know your movements…!”
Sally used her clones, which died with one hit, as bait, and closed in on the boss . There was a flash, and the sharpened blade cut her into half . Immediately after, her body disappeared and a damage effect appeared on the boss .
Sally had used Mirage as a second decoy, and she now cut at the boss from behind .
There were no other decoys to protect her now, and the boss’s flaming sword swung towards her .
“‘Super Acceleration’! I made it!”
Sally accelerated and moved away from the sword while rolling on the ground .
“‘Oozing Chaos’!”
Maple used a powerful move in order to stop the counterattack towards Sally . And then she started to fire her guns .
While she managed to hit the boss and its HP dropped, it was not enough to take it down .
At the same time, five new blades appeared in the air .
“So tough!”
“Arrgh, we’re so close!”
They were close, yet so far . And since Maple was taking damage, the situation was bad .
“Th-this…”
Fiery swords and the boss itself came flying towards Sally . Sally took in the situation calmly .
No matter how she tried to dodge, two of the swords would hit her .
“Minimize the damage…!”
As Sally was thinking, something shot out in front of her with the sound of an explosion .
The swords must have hit it because damage effects burst in the air . She then saw Maple standing there with three great shields .
“Sally! Heal me!”
“‘Heal’!”
While she blocked the attacks with her three great shields, the flames still burned Maple . However, thanks to Sally’s healing, she had just a little HP left .
“‘Frozen Earth’!”
The boss froze just before it could attack Maple .
Maple checked its remaining HP and saw that it was down to 20% before she activated her skill .
“‘Break Core’!”
A red sphere shot out of Maple and sparks flew .
It was a super powerful exploding attack . And it would activate in 5 seconds .
Upon seeing this, Sally used Icicle and Sand Wall to prevent the boss from escaping .
Attacks that it usually would have been able to dodge would hit it now .
“Now I can…hit you!”
Before the boss could move out of the way, Maple’s skill activated, and a pillar of light shot up to the ceiling with a roar .
The boss’s HP dropped dramatically . Maple had 1 HP left thanks to the effect of ‘Indomitable Guardian . ’
When the white light faded .
The boss remained, with just a little HP left .
“!?”
As Maple watched in shock, a magic circle that was larger then previous ones appeared on the ground .
“Wh-why…what?!”
Maple was no longer able to think . Sally had risen into the air and used her web to pull Maple up .
Sally quickly threw Maple up into the air and then used ‘Impact Fist’ to send her even higher up .
Immediately after, the flames of hell shot up from underneath them .
Sally made a platform in the air and kicked off it and plunged towards the fire .
“…!”
‘Empty Shell’ activated and nullified all damage as Sally accelerated even more .
Before the flames could reach Maple, Sally shot through it and then used her two daggers to cut open the boss’s throat .
The flames stopped at the same instant . And as they died down, the boss fell to the ground .
“Thanks to your protection…I made it . ”
Sally put away her daggers and caught the falling Maple with both arms .
“…Phew . ”
“…Ehehe . ”
“We won!!”
“We won!!”
The two of them practically fell as they sat down, exhausted . Then they looked at each other and smiled as they high fived .
