Defense Specialization and Futile Resistance

With a bang, all of her weapons pointed at Mi and the others.

Commence Attack!

Explosive Flames!

Maple fired off volleys of lasers and bullets.

Mi immediately defended. She took Marx and Misery with her and moved behind a tree where Maples attacks couldnt reach them.

However, if Maples attacks couldnt reach them, then their attacks wouldnt reach her either.

Even Marxs traps were nearly useless now, as there were no follow up attacks when Maple was bound.

Marx, what should we do?

Its impossiblethats impossible

I agreeBut I think that this is her trump card, so we should be thankful that we were able to see it.

Mi heard them say this, and started to talk in a frustrated voice.

It cant be helped. We lost. Still, we wont lose for nothing.

Mi brought up the blue panel and quickly sent a message out to the other guild members.

Lets go then.

Yes.

Mi was about to take Misery and Marx with her and leave.

However, a sound that was much louder than any of Mis explosions caused her to stop and look behind her.

Found you!

Maple was right in front of her, her broken weapons scattered around.

And before Mi could unleash Explosive Flames, Maples left arm, which was now a sword, stabbed through her.

Kk!

Deploy Swords.'

More and more swords came out of Maples left arm, and they all stabbed into Misery.

Before Misery had time to think about what was happening, Maple turned her into a burst of light.

Explosive Flames!

Mi knocked Maple back, she grabbed Marxs hand and tried to escape with Flare Accel.

However, Maple was faster, and quickly caught up with them.

She used the momentum from the explosions to thrust her sword into Marxs back.

And just like she had done with Misery, multiple swords followed and pierced through his arms and legs.

Ahh

Marx looked down at the large blade that pushed out of his chest. His eyes looked down in defeat as his body dissipated.

Tsk My MP!

Mi was just as inefficient as Maple was.

She had used Flare Accel for so long on top of using several big skills, that she no longer had any potions in her Item Pouch.

She could only use magic one more time.

Disintegrate!

Instead of running away, Mi turned around to approach Maple, then moved around her to stick to her back.

And Mi was now covered in flames.

Huh! Are you trying to take me with you!?

Just as Maple said this, Mis body unleashed a pillar of fire that stretched up into the sky. It burned Maple with her.

This was the last magic attack that she had that might be effective.

But Mi heard something just before she disappeared into light.

The force of self-destructionI can deal with that!

It was Maples merciless declaration.

When the flames subsided, Maple was the only one there.

My VIT is almost 5-digits now with the skillsso it was alright after all!

Maple deactivated all of her weapons, then had Syrup come down slowly to pick her up.

I wouldnt have gone down there if I knew there were going to be so many traps.

We need to get the orb and move on to the next one.

Yes. I wasnt planning on using it Oh, this is annoying.

When Maple, Yui, and Mai arrived at the base, not only was there no orb, but there was not a single player in sight.

Huh?

Wh-what does this mean?

They took the orb and ran?

If Maple had been able to take the orb from them, they would never be able to get it back as long as Maple did not take it back to their base.

Mis futile resistance had been an attempt to make Maples actions a waste of time, and also avoid that terrible situation.

Wh-what should we do!? We were only supposed to get thisob..if we couldoh

Uhwell, I have an idea.

What?

Maple listened to Yui.

There just happens to be a lot of guilds around here, so we can destroy them as we search for the person with the orb

Hmmm, lets do that!

The number of guilds that would be suddenly attacked because of Mi, was 6.

They would be dragged into the fight.

Alright, lets go then!

What Maple and the others did at the guilds they attacked, was to simply walk in a straight line towards the orbs.

The number of players who died in their path was too many to count, including the number of players who blocked Yui and Mais attacks with their shields and still died.

Through this, Maple and the others were able to gain more orbs, but whoever was carrying the one from Ifrits Kingdom had had a head start, and they succeeded in escaping.

We just need to hide for a while, then Maple will have to return to her base to ensure that it is safe.

The now revived Mi said to the other guild members.

They would allow Maple to take care of the clamoring players, and in exchange for safety, they had only lost the point for their own orb and the points for the surrounding orbs.

It hurtsbut there are some merits. We also know now that Maple should not be touched

Mi and the others would travel far away and focus on gathering orbs until Maple left the area. This meant that one of the strongest guilds would be out attacking at full force.

On the night of the second day, things began to move again.
