Chapter 283

Defense Specialization and Evolution

Due to a desire to show the others as soon as possible, they hurried back and burst through the doors of the guild home .

Inside, Kanade was still playing a board game . Kasumi, Chrome, and Izu were surrounding Yui and Mai .

Woah . What happened? You seem more cheerful than usual .

Hmm . Welcome back . Hehe . It looks like I can expect a positive report .

And so Maple and Sally picked up Syrup and Oboro and thrust them out in front of the others .

As the other guild members had seen them longer than their own monsters, they noticed the difference immediately .

Huh? What happened to them!

Hehehe . They evolved! Theyre stronger and cuter!

And then Maple explained the event to the other six members in detail .

I see Evolution, huh . But

Yeah, I went to that place with the floating rocks, but there was no giant there .

Maple had assumed that everyone would be able to make their monsters evolve too, but it seemed like that wasnt the case . Even Izu had not heard anything about people fighting on top of a huge tree .

UmMaybe its affected by their level and how close they are to you? After all, you two have had Syrup and Oboro for a long time

That might be true . The books I read were all about how to get the most out of their power . And I think theyre talking about after their general abilities are established .

Perhaps it should not have been a surprise that you couldnt make them evolve so soon after taming them .

Well, I guess it really is because we spent so much time together then Ehehe .

Maple said as she patted Syrup on the head . This was the buddy that would continue to fly around with her on the field for a long time . And so she was incredibly happy about Syrup evolving .

Well, now that Maple and Sallys monsters are stronger, Im really looking forward to the next event .

Thats true . The way we fight will change . So it will be a good opportunity to test things .

Oh, the event! Then Ill have to work hard so Syrup can level up!

Just evolving would not be enough to make the most of the enhancements . From here, it was about patience and training .

Weve done a lot today already . What will you do, Maple?

I-I think Im going to do just a little more . Maybe Syrup will learn something after gaining one level!

And in order to do that, she had to return to the field . Maple would run from one interest to the next . And from one fun thing to the next .

During that time, management was exhausted from preparing numerous monsters and events for the seventh layer . Every area had different monsters and different evolutions . And creating all of that was a lot of work .

How many rare monsters have been tamed?

Less than 20% . After all, the area is huge . And there are lots of strong monsters that arent rare .

If anything, the rare monsters that had been prepared were rather peaky in terms of features, and so some players would ignore them even after encountering them .

Well, it looks like monsters that can buff you are the most popular . On the other hand, many magic users are taming tanks .

What about the important guilds?

They have a bunch of rares .

Haaa Well, just being hard to find is No, theyre choosing them because theyre a good fit .

Of course, they had checked Assembly of Holy Swords and Ifrits Kingdom . And also Maple Tree .

They are capturing monsters that are strongand are capable .

Maple and Sally even evolved theirs . In spite of there being almost no information about doing that

They were taking advantage of the fact that they had tamed monsters earlier than the others . And much faster than had been expected .

Is her body made of some kind of magnet that helps her react to rare events?

That may be Im really starting to believe it .

Once things had settled down on the seventh layer, the next event would begin .

What will happen during the next event?

As the players are monster-like, we have to send strong monsters for them to clash with .

They muttered as they ran a final check on the enemies . They had to prepare monsters that were fitting for the highest difficulty .

Ah, one more thing . Maple has tentacles now .

Thats not something you add at the last moment .

Such was their conversation as they checked to see that the monsters were not acting in an abnormal way .
