Defense Specialization and Meeting Up 3
The map was getting smaller, and since strong players tended to cooperate when bumping into each other, two such top players 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 Flame’!”
“‘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…”
Chrome and Misery still had damage reduction skills, damage nullifying skills, and resurrection skills . This toughness, where they could come 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 not compare to this . Chrome had had to slowly chip away at their HP, and now they were being annihilated in a flash .
“Woah…amazing…”
“Phew . That’s a relief . Thank you, Mi . ”
“Ah, I’m glad 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 was completely different from theirs .
“Well, it’s just that I heard the screams of other players before meeting up with Misery . And if players 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 to come out . ”
While the place 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 similar explosion from the first day . ”
Chrome saw the flashes 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 .
