Defense Specialization and Dedicated Affection.
Five days had now passed since Maple asked Izu to make a full set of gear for her.
Just as Maple finished logging in and appeared in the guild ho, Izu ca walking out of her workshop.
“Maple, your gear…it’s ready.”
“Really!”
“Yes. Here, I’ll show it you.”
So saying, Izu pulled out a full set of white armor, a large shield, a short sword and a platinum tiara.
Each piece of gear was set with precious blue stones in different places.
Overall, it had the look of a holy knight, minus the tiara.
“Have I beco a knight now?”
Maple put on all of the new gear and then checked her stats.
(Arcangel Tiara X)
HP 250
(Archangel White Shield IX)
HP 300
(Archangel Holy Sword VIII)
HP 200
(Archangel Holy Armor IX)
HP 350
“What are these numbers like X and IX…?”
Maple asked.
“Those are numbers you get from the ‘reinforcent‘ which can only be used with gear made with the ‘forging’ skill. Gear made with ‘forging’ cannot use skills like other gear used in other events, so it’s a rit that makes up for it.”
“Oh, I see…”
“The success rate of ‘reinforcent’ changes depending on the ‘forging’ skill… It takes a lot of luck to reach the biggest number that is X.”
Izu had sohow made a top-class set of armor without compromising.
After that, she spilled that it was two levels stronger than the set she had made for Chro, but Maple was too busy checking her gear to notice her say this.
As Maple continued with her inspection, the rest of the remaining four guild mbers arrived at the guild ho.
“Hm? …Oh! So that’s the gear Izu has been making. It really suits you. It makes want so new gear too…”
“It makes scared just thinking of what caused Maple to want new gear…”
“Ah, that’s it…”
“Maple, you look really good in white!”
Chro, Sally, Kasumi, and Kaede all said.
“So… Do you all want to go and fight? I’ll explain just why I had a new set of gear made on the way.”
Everyone agreed, as long as they could see the reason behind all of this.
Even Izu said she would go, as she wanted to see the gear do ‘it.’
“Is this a good spot?”
Maple put everyone on board the Syrup and flew towards an area that was known to have monsters in large packs.
“Well…here I go! ‘Dedicated Affection’!”
A red damage effect burst from Maple’s body.
As soon as it cleared, a circular area around Maple that was ten ters in diater began to glow.
And that wasn’t the only thing that happened.
Two wings that were pure white grew from Maple’s back and a white, glowing ring appeared above her head.
Her hair had turned into a brilliant gold, her eyes were now a deep blue.
“WHA…?”
“I was surprised too, at first.”
“Ahaha… My appearance changes… Ah, here co so monsters.”
For a mont the other four were too stunned to move, but then they realized that anything could happen when it ca to Maple, and so they changed their mode of thinking.
They had gotten quite used to her by now.

Okay
First, about Sally
Sally is a PS non-human
From what I saw, she doesn’t seem to be using any skills
She fought with quite a lot of monsters, but I didn’t see her taking any damage
Also, there was so kind aura added
133 Na: Anonymous Bow User
I guess that thing for the event will be Sally after all
134 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
She’s even evolved
An aura he says
135 Na: Anonymous Spear User
Hmph
Sally does seem like she’d have so unknown skills
But not as much as Maple
136 Na: Anonymous Great Shield User
Next, about Maple
For the past few days, Maple has been off sowhere all alone
And when she got back
137 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
Hurry up
138 Na: Anonymous Spear User
Hurry
139 Na: Anonymous Magic User
What happened?
140 Na: Anonymous Great Shield User
She was an angel
141 Na: Anonymous Bow User
We already know that Maple is an angel
142 Na: Anonymous Magic User
You’re late with that one
143 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
Maple is always angelic, right?
144 Na: Anonymous Spear User
Of course, she is
145 Na: Anonymous Great Shield User
Ah, well, alright
I will rephrase that
Maple returned with a skill that gave her an angel’s halo, wings and blonde hair and blue eyes.
146 Na: Anonymous Spear User
Wha
147 Na: Anonymous Magic User
This is what happens when you leave her alone
148 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
Why? Where did she get such a skill?
149 Na: Anonymous Great Shield User
I don’t know
The skill na is ‘Dedicated Affection’
It apparently has a skill that uses your HP to constantly ‘cover’ your party mbers
When Maple uses this
All the party mbers within the circle will beco invincible unless she is defeated
150 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
So she finally got her second form
She should beco the last boss, don’t you think?
151 Na: Anonymous Spear User
A scene of hell will seem lukewarm
If you leave her alone
Eventually, it will happen
She will return with a third form
Definitely
152 Na: Anonymous Great Shield User
On top of that, I found out that Maple still has over 1,000 VIT when she removes all of her gear
153 Na: Anonymous Bow User
I don’t even understand anymore
154 Na: Anonymous Spear User
1,000 without gear is crazy
Is her body made of steel?
Is she an orichalcum?
155 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
But, it hasn’t even been that long since Maple first started
We weren’t even at the second level when rumors about Maple started to surface
There must be sothing on the first level
156 Na: Anonymous Great Shield User
I thought so too
But if that were the case, then there would have been a second and third Maple by now
157 Na: Anonymous Magic User
That’s just it
I don’t know why Maple is the only one who can do it
After that, everyone thought long and hard about it. But they could not discover the reason that Maple was able to gain those skills.
“Everyone! You will be able to block any attack now!”
“I’ll do it… The others won’t know how, yet…”
Izu said as she started to walk towards the monsters herself. A blow struck her body.
However, her HP did not move an inch.
“Huh? What does this an?”
“It’s Maple’s skill… Apparently, everyone who is in this circle will constantly have ‘cover’ activated for them…”
“Though it will cost you a little HP at first.”
Izu had made the set of gear to offset the HP cost.
Just like ‘Hidora’, ‘Dedicated Affection’ was a skill that ca with several other skills. This ant that even now, there were other skills that Maple hadn’t shown yet.
And she had to pay the cost of each of those with HP.
Maple’s previous set of gear did not have enough HP to offset the cost of all of them.
Furthermore, the new gear was completely forward compatible with ‘Philanthropy Knight’.
The extra quests were not just for show.
“…So in other words, everyone had the sa defensive capabilities as Maple… Woah..”
As long as they were in the area, no one could hurt the other mbers unless they defeated Maple first.
But it would be incredibly difficult to defeat Maple.
It won’t even be a fair fight unless you could do piercing attacks repeatedly on everyone.
And you would have to actually be hitting all of your targets.
There was no way you could hit Sally, and Chro would block the attack with his great shield, and Kasumi was great at evading.
Kaede was the only fighter who could possibly be hit.
“But Maple, you changed your gear, right? Are you sure that you have enough defensive power to nullify attacks towards us…?”
“Don’t worry! Even if I wasn’t wearing anything, my vitality is over 1,000!”
“Haha…1,000?”
Kasumi and Chro thought that this was so crazy that they could only laugh.
The two of them decided that they would just stop trying to think about it.
As they rode Syrup on their way back, Chro began to talk.
“I, I’ve been talking about Maple and Sally on the ssage boards, do you think that I should stop?”
“Hmmm… I don’t really mind. Everything that I’ve told you can be told to anyone else.”
“I agree with Sally, after all…”
“It won’t change what we do just because soone knows about it.”
Even if Chro shared what he knew on the ssage boards, Sally’s ability to evade wouldn’t be affected, neither would Maple’s defenses.
Chro didn’t know how to acquire the skills, so he couldn’t write anything too important.
It was not a big issue for either of them.
126 Na: Anonymous Shield User
Hey
127 Na: Anonymous Spear User
Yo
So you joined Maple’s guild…
I hate you! I’m so jealous!
128 Na: Anonymous Great Sword User
That’s so nice
I asked Sally to help get close, but I don’t think it’s going to happen
129 Na: Anonymous Bow User
Give us information
You must have sothing
But I won’t ask for anything that you aren’t supposed to say
130 Na: Anonymous Spear User
It’s probably harder to give information now that they work together
Just tell us what you can
