Chapter 360

Maple detonated her weapons, blowing away all of the vines that surrounded her . And like that, she charged towards the rose .

Predator!

She held her black shield up as the two monsters appeared on either side . And like that, they plummeted towards the rose .

Hahh!

The shield that swallowed everything tore up the petals . And damage effects that were an even deeper red than the rose began to burst all over it . Predator crushed the thorny vines around them . As nothing was supporting Maple now, she crashed to the ground and rolled away .

Well, at least there were no piercing attacks . But, just in case! Quintuple Slash!

Each of her hands slashed with her blades five times in a row . Then she used Pursuing Blade for an additional five attacks . These were skills and buffs that anyone would know, but when she was able to chain over twenty attacks together, it became an impressive trump card .

And as the monster recoiled under the massive amounts of damage that Maple inflicted, Sally pressed in with her follow-attack . And with this tried and proven pattern, she shredded the stem that supported the flower . There was a cracking noise, and the rose monster exploded into light .

Good job, Maple . Are you okay?

Yes! There were thorns everywhere, but they didnt use piercing attacks, thankfully .

Looks like it . Maybe we could have been more aggressive then .

As Maple was lying on the ground, Sally offered a hand and helped her up . It was as they brushed the dust off of their armor that the other two approached them .

Very nice . It was hard to believe, even though I was watching you with my own eyes . Yes, I can now see that your strength has to do with your basic abilities .

Maples shooting could be accurate because her ridiculous defense ability allowed her to stay in a single spot, like some kind of fixed artillery . The fact that she didnt need to move around and dodge enemy attacks was her strength .

As for Sally, her dodging ability was what allowed her to launch counter attacks .

Like Lily said, their skills and the way they moved were heavily influenced by those basic abilities .
