Chapter 308

Defense Specialization and Reunion

While battles were erupting all around them, Maple and Mai were having a peaceful tea party on top of Syrups back .

Woah! Mai, we got another medal!

Youre right Do you think everyone is doing it alone?

Hmm . Its strange that no one comes . We should be sticking out a lot right now

Maple didnt want to waste too many of her weapons, and so changed into her green clothes and used Poltergeist to unleash a thick laser beam into the sky .

Because of this, even from far away you would be able to see a pillar of light swinging around in the dark sky .

Ah, another monster is flying towards us!

Of course, since it was a laser, it could be a beam saber when swung around . And so the flying devils would have their wings burned, which slowed them down as they flew . Regardless, it was Mais turn to act .

She took out some of the iron balls that were under the table on Syrups back, and flicked her wrist as she threw the ball .

It found its target with precision, as the light of the laser reflected off the heads of the devils . And they exploded like popped balloons .

Nice throw!

Th-thank you .

Hmm . I brought out the table because I thought they would be here by now They must have been sent very far away .

But at least they seem to be safe . And theyre all very strong . Im sure they will arrive soon .

Yes, its not like we know where they are Ah, do you want more tea?

Uh, yes . Thank you .

And like that, the two enjoyed their tea party as if completely oblivious to the hell down below .

While the sky was relatively safe, it was hard to even find a place on the ground that wasnt covered in monsters . There were times when it felt like you would be safer inside the dungeons . Within all that, Kanade and Yui were the Maple Tree members who were lucky enough to find each other . They had escaped the monsters and made use of their smaller frames to hide in the hollow of a tree . It would be quite difficult for Kanade to protect Yui by himself . And even now, monsters were moving towards the tree they were in .

Phew . That was close . I doubt we would have been able to survive if it was just me .

Youre one to talk . Well, we were kind of in trouble too .

It was Drag who now stood in front of the tree . As he generally only moved with Frederica, he was not able to live up to his full potential without someone supporting him .

Give and take, alright? We can part ways once we get out of this alive .

And Frederica is in the area anyway . Sally is apparently with her, for some strange reason .

You can contact them?

Yeah . Sort of .

I think we just need to survive a little longer . If Sallys with them, we should be able to go to Maple .

They werent that far from the area with the laser . They just needed to survive this wave of monsters .

Holy Armor, Holy Enchant .

First, Kanade enveloped Drags armor and weapons in light . This would minimize the damage if he was hit, and it would also increase the damage that he dealt .

Sou will also use damage reduction skills, so you can fight without worrying .

Kanade said as he called out Sou and had it transform into him .

Oh, that would be a great help . Earth Earthquake!

The Golem that was next to Drag slammed both arms into the ground . And the area around them began to shake . While this had no effect on the devils in the air, it made the zombies stop in their tracks .

Earth Wave!

Drag activated the skill and the ground rippled and rose, violently pushing the monsters back .

Furthermore, as all of Drags skills had a knockback effect, the monsters were thrown even farther away . Aside from using knockbacks to break his enemys stance, Drag also had many abilities that pushed the enemy away, making it hard for them to get close enough to attack .

As long as Drag attacked them, the knockback effect would occur, and the enemies were kept at bay .

Thats amazing! I would be able to fight a lot more if I could do that

Well, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses . You just need to wait until its time for you to use your strength .

Yes!

Oh, Defense Barrier!

Nice guard! Youre certainly not worse than Frederica!

I wont help you anymore if you keep saying things like that .

It was just as Drag said this, that Frederica appeared, pushing her way through the bushes .

Oh!? Youre here already . What a relief! That was quick .

Uh, but you just said that you werent going to help me anymore Hmph . Multi-Barrier!
