I hate being in pain, so I think I'll make a full defense build Chapter 477

Itai no wa Iya nanode Bōgyo-Ryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu 477

Defense Specialization and Daily Life (8)

The raging black fla subsided, and the eight erged, unscathed.

Although the passage behind them was blocked by a wall of flas, as expected, the super-wide range ambush that covered the room didn’t even deal true damage.

“[Flash Flood]!”

Sally conjured a torrent to propel Mai and Yui upwards. The target of the twins was, of course, the boss.

““[Decisive Battle Specifications] [Double Stamp]!””

Sixteen sledgehamrs rained towards the boss, but the corresponding fla barriers that were deployed in the air blocked them all.

““Eh!?””

An attack with power so massive, it could effortlessly break through your average defense. The two widened their eyes in shock. After all, their attack had never been repelled before.

“[Water Path]!”

The mont Mai and Yui’s attack was foiled, Sally jumped into the scattering flas, passing by the two, who were still taken aback. As long as Maple was there, they didn’t need to hold back.

“[Water Binding] [Double Slash]!”

Sally’s dagger, imbued with water effect, slashed the boss’ body. A popping damage effect told them that the attack was successful.

“Did it work?”

“It’s not immune to all manners of attacks, at least!”

“In that case…”

“There has to be a way!”

They could use the defensive wall as a decoy to allow both Mai and Yui to land their attack. Rather than waiting for the enemy to go through all their skills, it’d be more efficient to deliver a critical blow.

“All right… [Comnce All Attack]!”

Maple deployed her weapon and started firing into the air. Bullets scattered everywhere, but the boss simply avoided them, while also shooting multiple flaming spears in return.

“Don’t let them pass!”

Do not let sharp objects pass. It was the cardinal rule of [Maple Tree]. Chro stood up to protect Maple with a shield that had been enlarged by Necro.

Maple’s weapon wasn’t invincible, either. Unlike Maple, the weapon could break if it sustained enough damage. Not to ntion, [Dedicated Affection] had no effect on it, so they had to protect it.

“Thank you!”

“I’ll leave the offense to you!”

“Understood!”

“Iz, we won’t let it escape.”

“Yes, I’ll keep an eye on it!”

“[Tornado]!”

“Fei [Item Enhancent]!”

In line with Maple’s barrage, Kanade used area magic to block the escape route, while Iz bombed the area to limit the boss’ movent. anwhile, to avoid the attack, Kasumi escaped to the place where the trajectory was lowered.

“[Warrior’s Arm] [First Sword: Heat haze]!”

Regardless of the opponent’s speed, Kasumi would teleport in front of the enemy as long as it was within range, making it difficult for it to evade the blow and conjure a fire barrier.

“Sally, now!”

“[Icicle]!”

A pillar of ice sprouting from the ground blocked the boss’s escape. Although the boss counterattacked Kasumi, she was unable to penetrate Maple’s defensive power.

“I leave the rest to you!”

The stage had been prepared. Kasumi sidestepped, revealing the twins, who were brandishing their sledgehamrs while glaring at the boss.

““[Weapon Throw]!””

Sixteen sledgehamrs landed to fill the gaps near the [Icicle]. A blow that was made after all escape routes were blocked by the eight people. The well-prepared coordinated attack reduced the boss’ HP to zero.

Mai and Yui were happy that the battle was settled perfectly. But then, the pile of sledgehamrs tumbled down, and the boss stood up.

“Impressive… At this rate, the whole place will co crashing down. I’ll be waiting in the back. Entertain a bit longer.”

The boss was enveloped in black flas as she disappeared.

“Wait, is it a mid-boss?”

“Seems to be it.”

“The boss ntioned a guest…”

“Indeed. That’s why she said she’ll be waiting, right?”

“As long as you support in the sa way next ti, everything will be okay!”

“That’s right. Let’s leave the main work to the two and do the preliminary preparations here.”

““I’ll do my best!””

Before that, explore. There was a door that led to the depths. Although, there was no way it’d lead straight to the boss.

Don’t focus too much on the boss, lest other monsters defeat you.

While reminding themselves to focus on what was ahead, the eight opened said door.
