Chapter 313


    Defense Specialization and to the East


    The four who went east were Dred, Marx, Mai, and Yui .


    They rode on top of Tsukimi and Yukimi as they dashed through the field .


    “Woah . They really are fast . ”


    “Yes . Like this, we might be able to outrun any monsters we encounter…”


    As they said this, one of the four-legged monsters that had attacked their base, suddenly appeared in front of them . Even Marx’s Clear was not able to erase every single one, and so it now rushed towards the four of them .


    “‘Power Share,’ ‘Bright Star’!”


    “‘Power Share,’ ‘Bright Star’!”


    As Tsukimi and Yukimi’s masters had higher attack ability, sharing their STR caused theirs to rise, and they unleashed a spherical light that caused damage .


    The monster in front of them was hit by two of them, and stumbled .


    As it lost its bnce, Tsukimi and Yukimi dashed forward on both sides of it . And just as they were about to pass it by, the two swung their great hammers right into the monster, erasing it with a burst of light .


    “What a horrible hit and run . ”


    “It really is incredible, seeing it up close…”


    The general strategy for these four was to allow Mai and Yui to get close to the monsters in order to destroy them . Furthermore, since Tsukimi and Yukimi were with them, they were guaranteed a decent amount of speed as well . With Marx’s trap setting abilities put into the mix, they didn’t have too much to worry about .


    The four of them looked at the map that Sally had made, and tried to figure out the location of the mark, rtive to Maple Tree’s base .


    “The terrain hasn’t changed, at least . ording to Sally, it should be around…here?”


    The shadows of the night were so dark and vast that you couldn’t see any stars . But the moon’s reflection could be seen on theke’s surface . And since there was no moon to be seen in the sky, it was clear that there was something very strange about thiske .


    “Should we go?”


    “Yeah . We’ll just get attacked by monsters if we stay here looking . Besides, Marx said he finds it easier to work inside of dungeons . ”


    “Yes . Clear’s abilities won’t work as well out here…”


    “Then let’s get going . Though, we still don’t know if it really is a dungeon . ”


    “Understood . Tsukimi!”


    Mai and Yui then had Tsukimi and Yukimi run down to the side of theke .


    “For now, let’s try going to the center . ”


    “Should we…use a boat?”


    However, Tsukimi and Yukimi were able to swim, so there was no need for that . But as their feet stretched out towards the water’s surfaces, a most strange thing happened . Their feet did not sink, but stopped perfectly on top of the water . And after that, they were able to walk on it like it was normal ground .


    “This…it looks like we were right . ”


    The four continued on until they reached the center of theke . And when they arrived, their bodies were enveloped by light .


    “That was pretty quick . Well, just try not to die . ”


    “Yeah . ”


    “Yes!”


    “Yes!”


    As they waited excitedly, their bodies were coveredpletely, and they were teleported off to the dungeon .


    The ce they came out in had a ground that was covered in water . Even the walls were damp . The overall atmosphere was damp and humid . It was a circr area and it was easy to see that this was the starting point .


    There was only one passage leading away, so they had no choice but to follow it .


    “Well, let’s go then . ”


    “Yes . Alright, Clear… ‘Transparent . ’”


    “Are we invisible now?”


    “Yes . But be careful, it doesn’t work on every monster . ”


    “I don’t know if I would be able to deal with this during PvP . Even if I knew about it . ”


    “…Maybe . ”


    They cautiously made their way down the passage . Then they saw an eel that was about a meter in length,ing toward them from the other side . It was enveloped in water as it swam through the air . A trail of water was left behind it, and they could hear sparks of electricity as pale light shed .


    And while the four brandished their weapons, the eel had not seen them, and passed them by .


    “Mai!”


    “Yes!”


    The two stepped forward and swung their great hammers as hard as they could .


    The leisurely swimming eel felt the full force of this attack as it was pounded out of the air . There was a loud popping noise as it mmed into the ground and exploded with electricity and light before disappearing .


    “What an extravagant assassination…”


    “All the better with ‘Transparent . ’”


    As they would be exposed when attacking, he and Izu had had to use it when entering the dungeon . But it had a very different effect for Mai and Yui . For the monsters, it was as if an invisible, instant death attack wasing out of nowhere . And since they died in one hit, there was no fear of getting caught .


    “That’s something that couldn’t be done in our guild . ”


    “Well, it’s just a skill for ambushes…”


    “Ah, it seems we’re visible . Can you put it on again!”


    “Ah, it seems we’re visible . Can you put it on again!”
