Chapter 304


    Defense Specialization and Meeting Up 3<hr>


    The map was getting smaller, and since strong yers tended to cooperate when bumping into each other, two such top yers were currently together as they faced a pack of monsters .


    “Tsk! Can’t we do something about their numbers!”


    “And this is even with the right attributes…!”


    Misery and Chrome were currently surrounded by dozens of monsters as they looked for a chance to escape . The two of them had cooperated in the jungle during the previous event, but unlike then, they could now recover their HP . Most of Misery’s MP was used to heal Chrome, and Chrome was continually pushed to the brink of death, only to return . This repeated over and over again .


    “Necro, ‘Burst me’!”


    “‘Holy Spear’!”


    Misery’s magic was supposed to be effective against these devil-like monsters . However, she was a healer and he was a great shield wielder . They did not have enough attack power together .


    “I won’t die! But I can’t kill!”


    “Yes… It seems like more monsters keep getting summoned…”<hr>


    Chrome and Misery still had damage reduction skills, damage nullifying skills, and resurrection skills . This toughness, where they coulde back even after falling once or even twice, was something that even Maple Tree would find hard to do .


    Chrome continued to change Necro’s form as he switched between attacking and defense .


    “While we can survive, these things are fast… Misery, can’t you do something!?”


    “…Hold on there! I have something promising!”


    “Okay! I trust you! ‘Revitalize’! Necro ‘Ghost Armor – Robust’!”


    Chrome changed Necro to a defense specialized form, and blocked all of the attacks . He would buy time, just like Misery had said . As both were good when it came to healing, they could resort to these kinds of tactics in spite of taking damage . Unlike Mi, Chrome had a great shield and did not need to attack . He could make use of his powerful guard and survive while being surrounded by monsters . This tense battle continued for quite some time . And Chrome slowly lost his ability to concentrate as the amount of projectiles increased .


    “I guess it depends on ‘Dead or Alive . ’ …I hope this help is going to arrive soon!”


    “Yes, it’s fine . I think it’s here now . ”


    “Hmm? Ohh!?”


    Just as Misery said it, giant balls of fire rained down and enveloped the monsters . The fire that Chrome unleashed with the help of Necro could notpare to this . Chrome had had to slowly chip away at their HP, and now they were being annihted in a sh .


    “Woah…amazing…”


    “Phew . That’s a relief . Thank you, Mi . ”


    “Ah, I’m d you’re alright, Misery . Hmm . So there’s a Maple Tree member here as well . ”


    “Huh? Did you meet someone else?”


    “One of the twins . I think it was Mai . But I took her to Maple . ”


    “Oh! Thank you . ”


    “Mi . What should we do now?”


    “Shin and Marx are likely alive . Let’s meet up with them . ”


    “Hmm… Then can I go with you?”


    Chrome said . The two of them looked puzzled . After all, Chrome’s goal waspletely different from theirs .


    “Well, it’s just that I heard the screams of other yers before meeting up with Misery . And if yers are meeting up like this in such a huge field, I think we’re all being teleported pretty close together . ”


    In that case, perhaps members of Maple Tree would be close to Marx or Shin .


    Furthermore, Mi and the others could use a reliable shield bearer . There were plenty of merits for taking him along .


    “I don’t mind . What about you, Misery?”


    “No, I don’t mind . ”


    “Then it’s settled . ”


    And so the three of them got onto Ignis’s back and rose into the sky .


    “Are they around here?”


    “A little farther . On the other side of the mountain . ”


    “Maybe they don’t want us to unite with the others… While the field is shrinking, it’s still pretty big . ”


    “Maybe it will change again on the third day . In any case, we have to create our bases before its time for the strong monsters toe out . ”


    While the ce was overflowing with devil-like monsters, and they were strong, that didn’t mean they were the enhanced monsters for the second day .


    If they weren’t able to unite with the others soon, the number of casualties would increase .


    “I hope I find one of my friends along the way… Huh?”


    “What is it?”


    “I think one of them might be here . I remember a simr explosion from the first day . ”


    Chrome saw the shes of thunder and fire that tore through the darkness in front of them . And he was immediately reminded of a certain crafter who was quite scary when she was angry .
