Chapter 290
Defense Specialization and Contact
Misery, Marx, and Shin were members of Kingdom of the Flame Emperor, and they had all managed to reunite and hunt together . As they all had maps, they just needed to contact each other and move . So it would have been possible for them to meet Mii . But they decided not to .
Were not a party, after all .
Yes . I wont survive if Im caught in Mis area attacks
Sheisnt able to control the amount of fire
Mi had a powerful attack that burned everything that was around her, but if she did that around them, the trio would turn into fireballs .
Well, Im sure shell be fine without us . In any case, we need to hunt as many monsters as possible . Ill take down their HP, so you finish them off .
Up until they teamed up, Shin had killed a lot of monsters with Destructor and his tamed monster, Wen the hawk .
Compared to him, Misery and Marx specialized in healing and traps, which was not very efficient . Just then, a monster appeared in front of him .
Yes, leave it to me .
I can support But dont step on any of the traps by accident, okay?
Well, I can fight while standing in one place . It will be fine as long as you dont place them right at my feet . Here I go! Destructor!
Shin unleashed swords into the charging tiger, and shredded its flesh .
Wen! Wind God!
A powerful wind began to blow around the hawk, it then turned into numerous blades of wind, which shot towards the tiger .
Just by approaching the trio, the tiger was cut by blades multiple times until its HP was nearly empty . Even though individual hits were not heavy, with a tamed monster and enough successive attacks, the outcome was very different .
Holy Lance!
As promised, Misery dealt the finishing blow . And then they moved on to their next target .
Ive always been amazedat how many swords it can shoot out like that
Its just experience . One day, it was just able to do it .
Its that simple, huh?
What about your monsters? Has there been any changes since we last talked about it?
Me? Clear cant really do anything too amazing yet . It can disappear like a chameleon Ah, but recently, it can make me invisible as well
My Bell is the same as always . But I do think its rare .
In Article
So it hasnt learned anything outside of passive skills? Well, that is rare .
Misery had a white cat with a long coat that she called Bell . It was learning a lot of passive skills that offered buffs within a small area . They were things like enhanced healing and dealing extra damage .
However, as the area of effect was small, it wasnt very practical .
It must be a late-bloomer . So Im going to take good care of it .
Alright, were entering the area with the ruins now . Its usually quite populated with other players .
Ill set up some trapsso they dont follow us from behind .
Ah, good idea! Thanks .
And with that, the trio hunted down monsters while moving into the ruins . As Shin predicted, there were quite a few players here . But none were a match for the three of them .
However, after they had hunted for some time, they heard a familiar voice .
Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm-hm Gah! Kingdom of the Flame Emperor!
Oh, Frederica .
The voice was Fredericas . Currently, she seemed to be alone . She was holding up her staff defensively while slowly backing away from them . Clearly, a single rear-guard did not stand a chance against three enemies .
Ahaha . You know, Payne will be really angry if I die . Wont you just let me go?
Get her!
Yes!
Yeah
What? But why!? Fine . Knots, Awakening!
A small yellow bird landed on Fredericas head . She had wanted to get out while using the least amount of skills as possible, but now she was desperate .
Wen! Wind God!
Knots, Singing Round! Phew, Multi-obstacle .
Fredericas barriers blocked the numerous flying wind blades and Shins Destructor . And while they shattered upon impact, she realized that there were much more of them than before .
I wont lose in terms of moves, okay? Multi-fire bullets, Multi-light bullets .
A magic circle appeared, and immediately after, she heard Knots cry, and then the magic circle doubled in size .
Hows this? Of course, Im sure that you wont die .
Countless bullets of light and fire that Frederica and Knots had made began to shoot towards the trio .
Leave this to me .
YesIll stop it .
Misery made a magical barrier just like Frederica . Marx created one out of stone . It was enough to block the magic that flew towards them . However, Frederica never meant to take them on seriously . And by the time the dust had settled, she was nowhere to be seen .
She got away .
I had no idea that she had as many attacks as you, Shin .
Yes . Well have to be cautious around her Ah .
Hmm? What is it, Marx?
She got caught .
Traps had been set up all around the ruins . And Marx had positioned them so that it would be especially easy to catch anyone who was trying to get away . And his instincts had been right, and there was no way that Frederica wouldnt get caught in them .
As she fell, Frederica somehow managed to create a foothold and so she was able to climb out and escape from the pit .
Ugh! Tsk . And I had managed to look so cool when escaping . This is the worst I have to get out of here
The area around her was covered in traps . She was at a disadvantage . And so Frederica quickly ran away and left the ruins behind her in order to team up with any of the reliable members of the Congregation of the Holy Swords .
