Itai no wa Iya nanode Bgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 162

Defense Specialization and the Large Twisted Tree

As the three groups were gathering towards the MP increase skill, Chrome and Misery were clashing with a pack of monsters.

Eat this!

Chromes Japanese billhook slammed into a golem.

Unlike Maple, Chrome had a decent amount of attack power, and so he was able to deal damage to the enemy.

However, the enemy wasnt just golems.

Animal-type monsters like wolves and monkeys would attack whenever they saw that there was an opening.

I wont let you!

Miserys bullets of light blew away any monsters that tried to get close.

And so Chrome had enough time to defend himself with his shield.

The fact that you could not recover health in this area lowered their abilities by several levels.

Normally, with Miserys healing magic and Chromes self-recovery, they would be an impenetrable fortress, but that could not happen here.

And so the two of them had to be extra careful as they made their way forward.

Damn it! Theres no end to it!

Lets run away! I think I have an item that lets you escapehere!

Misery quickly navigated through her inventory and took out a white ball, which she promptly smashed on the ground.

White smoke rose around them and blocked the monsters vision.

The two of them took advantage of the moment to escape the area.

PhewEven with my abilities, its getting really tough.

Hahh Me too. It would be easier with an attacker here.

If only Maple or Yui and Mai were here.

I would feel more confident if Mi or Shin were with me.

They said as they continued following the route towards the jungles center, that they were able to find after repeated exploration.

During the same time that they were struggling with the monsters, Kanade and Marx were making contact as well.

Here they come

Marx started to walk forward without doing anything in particular.

Kanade also had his shelves activated next to him but showed no signs of taking any books out.

Just as the monsters were about to touch them, thick vines shot out of the ground and choked the monsters.

Several monsters flailed their arms and legs above Marxs head, trying to get free of the vines, but it was no use.

Yes, now explode

A red magic circle appeared around the vines and then exploded into the monsters.

The monsters were quite damaged now, and Marx finished them off with some magic attacks.

Woah, impressive.

Its easy once you capture them.

While Marx didnt seem too excited, he at least had an expression of satisfaction.

And in front of Marx now, was a rock golem covered in moss that was several times taller than him.

Its shining red eyes looked directly at Marx.

Ah, no waythere is no way.

Hmm, alright. Ill use stuff that I dont need first Voice of the Reaper.

A single black book slid out from the shelf and floated down.

The black cover was covered in droplets of blood, and as the pages flipped, a low sound that shook your very core began to ring.

After a brief moment, the large golem was covered in a dark shadow, then it turned to grains of light and faded away.

Woah. It worked. It has a low chance of doing an instant kill.

Do you have high luck?

Sort of.

The two of them continued to walk.

Compared to Chrome and Misery, the two of them were able to explore at a much faster rate.

In a different location.
