Chapter 308


    Defense Specialization and Reunion


    While battles were erupting all around them, Maple and Mai were having a peaceful tea party on top of Syrup’s back .


    “Woah! Mai, we got another medal!”


    “You’re right… Do you think everyone is doing it alone…?”


    “Hmm . It’s strange that no onees . We should be sticking out a lot right now…”


    Maple didn’t want to waste too many of her weapons, and so changed into her green clothes and used ‘Poltergeist’ to unleash a thickser beam into the sky .


    Because of this, even from far away you would be able to see a pir of light swinging around in the dark sky .


    “Ah, another monster is flying towards us!”


    Of course, since it was aser, it could be a beam saber when swung around . And so the flying devils would have their wings burned, which slowed them down as they flew . Regardless, it was Mai’s turn to act .


    She took out some of the iron balls that were under the table on Syrup’s back, and flicked her wrist as she threw the ball .


    It found its target with precision, as the light of theser reflected off the heads of the devils . And they exploded like popped balloons .


    “Nice throw!”


    “Th-thank you . ”


    “Hmm . I brought out the table because I thought they would be here by now… They must have been sent very far away . ”


    “But at least they seem to be safe . And they’re all very strong . I’m sure they will arrive soon . ”


    “Yes, it’s not like we know where they are… Ah, do you want more tea?”


    “Uh, yes . Thank you . ”


    And like that, the two enjoyed their tea party as ifpletely oblivious to the hell down below .


    While the sky was rtively safe, it was hard to even find a ce on the ground that wasn’t covered in monsters . There were times when it felt like you would be safer inside the dungeons . Within all that, Kanade and Yui were the Maple Tree members who were lucky enough to find each other . They had escaped the monsters and made use of their smaller frames to hide in the hollow of a tree . It would be quite difficult for Kanade to protect Yui by himself . And even now, monsters were moving towards the tree they were in .


    “Phew . That was close . I doubt we would have been able to survive if it was just me . ”


    “You’re one to talk . Well, we were kind of in trouble too . ”


    It was Drag who now stood in front of the tree . As he generally only moved with Frederica, he was not able to live up to his full potential without someone supporting him .


    “Give and take, alright? We can part ways once we get out of this alive . ”


    “And Frederica is in the area anyway . Sally is apparently with her, for some strange reason . ”


    “You can contact them?”


    “Yeah . Sort of . ”


    “I think we just need to survive a little longer . If Sally’s with them, we should be able to go to Maple . ”


    They weren’t that far from the area with theser . They just needed to survive this wave of monsters .


    “‘Holy Armor,’ ‘Holy Enchant . ’”


    First, Kanade enveloped Drag’s armor and weapons in light . This would minimize the damage if he was hit, and it would also increase the damage that he dealt .


    “Sou will also use damage reduction skills, so you can fight without worrying . ”


    Kanade said as he called out Sou and had it transform into him .


    “Oh, that would be a great help . Earth ‘Earthquake’!”


    The Golem that was next to Drag mmed both arms into the ground . And the area around them began to shake . While this had no effect on the devils in the air, it made the zombies stop in their tracks .


    “‘Earth Wave’!”


    Drag activated the skill and the ground rippled and rose, violently pushing the monsters back .


    Furthermore, as all of Drag’s skills had a knockback effect, the monsters were thrown even farther away . Aside from using knockbacks to break his enemy’s stance, Drag also had many abilities that pushed the enemy away, making it hard for them to get close enough to attack .


    As long as Drag attacked them, the knockback effect would ur, and the enemies were kept at bay .


    “That’s amazing! I would be able to fight a lot more if I could do that…”


    “Well, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses . You just need to wait until it’s time for you to use your strength . ”


    “Yes!”


    “Oh, ‘Defense Barrier’!”


    “Nice guard! You’re certainly not worse than Frederica!”


    “…I won’t help you anymore if you keep saying things like that . ”


    It was just as Drag said this, that Frederica appeared, pushing her way through the bushes .


    “Oh!? You’re here already . What a relief! That was quick . ”


    “Uh, but you just said that you weren’t going to help me anymore… Hmph . ‘Multi-Barrier’!”
