Defense Specialization and Pain

Maple and Pain continued to explore the dense jungle.

Maple

Did you say something?

No Nothing.

Pain looked up at the sky.

The deep green leaves were covering it, but those leaves moved even when Pain was still.

This was because Pain was riding on top of monster Maples back.

Maple was moving through the trees, but looked like she was having a hard time.

Maple, to the left. There was nothing on the right.

Understood.

Maple walked in a way that made it look like she would attack at any moment.

Sometimes she would climb a tree trunk and move from tree to tree.

Pain was able to hang onto Maple without much trouble, and so Maples somewhat strange movements were not an issue.

Pain squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. The trees were still in the way, and he could not see it.

They were attacked several times after that, but Maple trampled and blew them all away.

As he was able to leave all of the fighting to Maple, Pain put his power to a different use.

Maple, stop. I can hear something.

Pain had attention to spare for their surroundings, and so he noticed it easily.

The thing that he could faintly hear was the buzzing of wings.

Should we go?

/p>

Yeah.

As being discreet made no sense for Maple, they moved in the vague direction of the wings. And what they found, was a giant beehive in the top of a tree. There was something that looked like a black belt flying around it.

The sounds of wings were coming from t
