I hate being in pain, so I think I'll make a full defense build

Defense Specialization and Daily Life (2)

Maple and the others pulverized a horde of monsters while stirring up flames with the rotating sledgehammer.

“The firepower is just amazing! I gathered so many in an instant!”

“It’s thanks to Maple and Sally!”

“No, because of you, we can gather a lot of drop items.”

No small fry could withstand Mai and Yui’s attacks. Suffice to say, no monsters in that area could stand a chance against them.

As a result, the hunt progressed very smoothly, and they leveled up. The cooperation between Maple, Mai, and Yui were simply too powerful.

Until the field turned into a devil’s paradise overrun by such monsters, nothing could stop them in their tracks.

“Should we call it a day soon?”

“That’s a good idea. Although we took a break from time to time, the tiredness is catching up.”

“It’s easier now because I don’t have to move, but…”

“We’ve been at it for a long time.”

Because of Sally’s water manipulation skills, monsters were constantly being summoned.

The four of them took out their chairs and relaxed, leaving the sledgehammer rotating around them.

As long as Maple was there, unforeseen circumstances should’ve been avoided.

Just as the four of them were thinking about calling it a day, Chrome and Kasumi showed up.

“Oh, are you still here?”

“How’s it going? Are you doing well?”

“Yes! Mai and Yui are amazing!”

When Maple told them the number of drop items they’d obtained, the two widened their eyes.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time but… As expected, the destructive power is different because there are eight of them.”

“I can’t do any complicated moves, yet…”

“But you two are perfect for moving out together!”

“For you two, that would suffice.”

With the two of them together, massive firepower was pretty much guaranteed. No complicated moves were necessary. As the name suggested, the sledgehammer was a large weapon. The enemy would be having a hard time avoiding one, much else eight of them.

“Are you two also hunting here? We’re about to wrap it up…”

“No, I was just passing by. I thought reaching this place isn’t a problem when Haku’s around. Besides, I found something interesting, which I’d like to report.”

Something interesting. Kasumi rarely reported such a thing. Up until now, it was usually done by Maple herself, who’d chance upon such oddities.

“Maple obtained [Darkness of Rebirth] at the teleport destination, right? I found another teleport point.”

“However, the teleport destination seems to be larger than I thought. I went to check the place myself.”

“How was it?”

According to Kasumi, it was an eerie place with thick black vegetation and a haze similar to [Darkness of Rebirth].

“I’m sure we’ll discover something there!”

“It certainly feels like it…”

Before the implementation of the 10^th Floor, Kasumi found it by chance when she was proceeding with the remaining quests on the 9^th Floor. Because the teleport destination seemed to be quite spacious, she decided to alert everyone in [Maple Tree] so they could clear it.

“What do you think? Should we go on one last adventure before the arrival of the 10^th Floor?”

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s inform Iz and Kanade. If there’s some kind of hidden mechanism, we may need those two.”

“Then, we’d have to match our schedule again.”

“I wonder what kind of monsters are there, Sister…”

“I hope they aren’t too nimble…”

“Don’t worry, we’ll cover you. After all, you’re our main attacker.”

““Of course!””

They found a purpose other than the event. Thanks to Mai and Yui, [Maple Tree] had no problem collecting items. Thus, everyone decided to head to that unknown area.
