Chapter 363

Itai no wa Iya nanode Bgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 363

Defense Specialization and the Raid Boss 3

Amazing. I thought it would be really tough, but they already destroyed it.

And it looks like Sally and the others are fine.

Izu used her binoculars to observe the area near the giants head. They could see the twelve players who had survived the water spears as they separated once and came back down to the ground.

Of course, Maple and Sally had also made it just fine, and it was now their turn to head towards the boss and attack.

Ill protect you if you bounce away from a knockback or if youre about to get hit by a piercing attack. So dont worry and keep moving forward!

Okay!

Chrome was also able to use Multi-Cover in order to protect multiple people with his shield. While Pierce Guard was in cool down, Maple would raise her shield, and when a guild member was about to be hit by a piercing attack, Chrome would block it with his shield. Like this, they were able to slowly make their way closer to the boss without Maple taking any damage.

No other monsters were being summoned now that the water sphere had been destroyed. However, the tsunamis and water pillars were strengthened instead, and the boss now had an added attack in which it swung its giant trident through the air. Players were now dying all over the place.

Here comes the water spears! Protect everyone but me, Angels Protection.

Right, Multi-Cover!

Chrome held his shield up and guarded Mai and Yui who were about to be hit. Maple protected Izu by blocking the attack with her shield, and took no damage. Kanade used a skill from Akashic Records to deal with attacks by eliminating them entirely.

The attacks were quite vicious, and if you werent attacking it at long range with magic or bows, then it was by using hit and run tactics with tamed monsters who could fly.

Sally and the others, including the members of Congregation of Holy Swords and Flame Emperors, were alternating between being in the air and on the ground as they slowly but surely dealt damage. But since this was a raid boss, it seemed like this wouldnt be enough to defeat it completely.

If they wanted to change this situation, they needed to stop the bosss attacks so that all the players could attack it at once. And they needed Mai and Yui to do that.

However, the bosss attacks grew more powerful the closer you got to it. The number of spears that rained down increased, and there were fewer gaps between the geysers, as well as stronger currents of water pushing you back.

Maple and I can block it so that theres no damage, but the knockback effect is too strong!

Maple would not be able to move if she used Heavy Body, and it wasnt possible to nullify them during cooldown in the first place. So they were in a bad position when the time between knockbacks became shorter. Currently, they were succeeding in getting closer while avoiding taking any damage, so they were careful that they didnt accidentally do something that changed things for the worse.

It was then that they heard a voice from a short distance away.

Whats this? You seem to be taking your time.

Lily!

Let me make a path. Or I wont know how long I will have to protect you.

Lily called out even more soldiers and ordered them to take on the damage from the bosss attacks.

Now, will you keep going? It would really help if you could stop this annoying water as soon as possible.

Thank you! Lets go, everyone!

Yeah, we should be able to move now. Thank you!

Chrome and Maple were guarded by the soldiers as they led the other guild members forward. They were almost within range.

Will I be able to join in the attacks soon?

Maybe. Lets wait until they arrive.

Ah, in that case, Ill offer some support fire from the back.

Like this, Lily and Willbert watched the members of Maple Tree move with the soldiers through the waves, and waited for their chance to attack.

After overcoming numerous attacks and special moves, Maple and the others finally reached the base of the boss. Once they were here, there was only one thing left to do.

Ill quickly cast some buffs!

Ill use what magic books I have. After all, it will be a lot of trouble if it doesnt go down.

Yeah, the rest is up to you two. Get it good!

Do your best!

They used buffs that had only lasted a short time but were very powerful. With each buff, Mai and Yuis damage increased. By the time that they had cast every possible buff on them, the two were surrounded in numerous auras and looked very intimidating.

Lets go!

Lets go!

Synchronized, the two swung a total of sixteen great hammers all at once.

Double Impact!

Double Impact!

It was a basic skill that anyone could use. However, the moment that it hit, the water enveloping the boss went flying into the air, and was replaced by a shocking amount of damage effects. No matter how many times you saw it, this firepower was nothing less than astonishing. And even this final raid bosss
