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

Defense Specialization and Heavenly Light.

As I swam through the water, I could see that the monsters had clearly changed.Until now, all monsters were made of water, but now most of the golem system was made of inorganic stone and metal.

They moved agile and accurately in the water, and were dexterous monsters that could perform both magic and physical attacks, but they were no longer able to repel attacks, making it easier for Maple to defeat them.

Attack!

"If I get all the bullets from the boulders, I won't be able to stand it..."

"There's no water flow in the aisle, it's straight, so you can hit it!"

The barrage created by the relentlessly deployed weaponry is now approaching, turning the golem into a single light.

Since the damage dealt does not change, it is confirmed that the hierarchy will increase and the monsters will become weaker each time, but there are still very few people who can survive by plunging into the barrage from the front.

The monsters were not weak enough, but they were not a threat to the two of us, and we were able to break through from the front without particularly devising a plan.

"Alright! This will be fine!"

"... if I fought normally, it would be a different underwater plus wide-area attack, but the Maple opponent... If it was connected from the temple, the boss there might be the main one."The boss isn't always at the end of the event. ”

I see.

The two of them moved up through the mountains.Although the exact position cannot be grasped because it is not going out, it is certain that it is climbing gently.

Thus, Maple and Sulley defeated all the monsters that appeared in front of them, reaching one of the peaks of the mountains and looking around.

When viewed from a distance, the peak where the water flow with the effect was in the way and could not be seen well did not seem to have anything in particular, but it was flat and wide as if it had been struck from above.

"It doesn't feel like a mountain peak much... but I can't move directly from here to another place, so how's the Maple reaction... Maple!?"

Sally looks back to see if Maple's chest is glowing and she's in a hurry to see if she's safe.

"It's okay! I-It's glowing all of a sudden..."

"Is that supposed to be an awesome reaction?"There might be something, so just walk around. ”

Yeah!

Maple walks from the edge to investigate the wide peaks so that she doesn't miss out.

Sulley followed behind him, preparing for an emergency evacuation in the event of anything.Sally predicted that there would be no problems, especially if there was no enemy shadow, but before her eyes, Maple vanished in an instant without any warning.

"Huh...!?"

It was not a transfer magic circle, and there was no sign of a monster.In the first place, it wasn't the kind of terrain that allowed for ambushes.As Sally rushes closer to see where Maple was walking, she sees something coming out of the empty space without warning, stops at the brink, and takes a backstep to see who it is.

No, Maple?

"Ah! Sally! Are you all right?"

"Um, yeah. It was just a moment... and it wasn't a signal for a monster to appear."But... what's going on? "

In front of Sally was a floating maple head in the air.To be precise, only the first half of the head from the empty space floats as if it were hanging on the wall, but it is creepy on the mackerel and on the corners.

"Can you come over here?" Eh, hands... yes! "

This time, Maple's arms stretched like her face.It doesn't look like a fake maple one day.Maple won't tell you anything and pull Sally to a dangerous location, so it won't be a problem to take this hand.

"Okay, I got it."

Well then, just keep going!

Step as Maple tells you, and you can't see through your lap like you've slipped through an invisible wall.However, there is no damage, and the feeling of the invisible foot is conveyed by stepping on the ground.

Sally walked straight ahead and slipped through the invisible wall, where there was a dazzling rain of light. She closed her eyes reflecting the difference from the water, but slowly opened them to get used to the light.

"This is..."

Awesome!

Spread out in front of me was a landscape that was like nowhere else in the eight layers.The ground is covered with grass flowers, and you can see animals running around, and you can hear birds chirping.And most of all, this place was not sunk in the water, and when I looked up, I saw the sky that was unobstructed.

Sally also takes off her wetsuit, matching it to the maple she had already taken off, as if it wasn't underwater.

"I wonder if it's a completely isolated space."It doesn't seem to have metastasized.

It looks like it's connected to the outside from behind Sally!

It could be seen that Maple pushed her face out and called Sally.

The animals weren't hostile either, and they didn't seem to be aware of the attack.

"Well, that's it... there's obviously something suspicious about it."

"Yeah, that's it!" the unusual shape..... "

Apart from the terrestrial scenery and the creatures that inhabited it, there was one thing that could not be missed.

It was a large wooden boat that, although worn out, certainly retained its original shape.There is a large crack in the side surface, and the plant completely erodes it, making it a habitat for animals. However, if it jumps up and enters the crack, it is likely that the inside can be explored.

Is the light getting stronger again?

"It might be a bit dazzling..."

Something is approaching from what is happening, and it can be expected that it is not far away from this place with a clearly different atmosphere.

"I can't go home without going in, so let's go."

Of course!

They still had limited abilities.If the resources aren't cut off, there's no reason to come here and hesitate to explore, as they won't be able to do anything unless something terrible happens.

Where do we get in from?

"After all, is it better to go through a proper entrance?"That crack looks different... "

"Then it's upstairs." I can go with the yarn, but... it's quite expensive, can you please? "

Yeah! Syrup Awaken !

Maple floated in the air as she summoned the syrup and made it [giant].

If there are no monsters, we don't have to climb fast.Then, as you climb on the back of the syrup, you can see the deck part, but there is no sign of monsters there, and the animals are only sleeping on the rug of grasshoppers.

It looks like it's okay to get out.

I'll get out of here.

The maple lowers its altitude slowly to the height of the deck and returns the syrup to the ring as it moves to the ship.

Well then, let's go inside right away.

Oh!

The two of them walked down the stairs leading to the interior.However, even though it had only spread out to the outside, the interior of the ship was full of plants, and there was no shadow to see the furniture that would have been there.

It looks like there aren't any monsters inside... but I'll be on my guard for now.

Thank you! Do you have anything?

"If there was, it would be deep inside."From there, it can't be connected to other rooms or aisles. "

I'll try to find it!

Yeah, that's right.

Although it is a large ship, there are limited places to explore, and if the maple moves as its response changes, it will not be lost.

Then we quickly found our destination.

The pale light that responded to the light on Maple's chest was the relief on the wall that remained unbroken because it was in the center of the ship.

"Looks like it's not like the boss..."

I'm getting close?

Fine, I don't see any sign of the enemy.

As Sally was wary, Maple approached the relief, no matter what, and the moment she touched it, the light emanating from Maple's body grew stronger and illuminated the cabin.

Along with that, the sound of the ground rattles, and the boat I'm on now rocks a lot.

Apparently, it was not because the mountain was shaking, but because the ship itself was trying to move with unknown power.

"Whoa, whoa!?"

"Moving...!?"

In the light that was so invisible to each other, each of them adjusted their positions to deal with the shaking, but after a while the light subsided and the ship's shaking completely converged.

Is it stopping?

"... I guess I can't move anymore."Look, even from the outside, it was so broken that I could see it. "

"I see... that's right"

If I could move this ship and take it with me, it would be a great souvenir, but I couldn't seem to be able to do that.

"Yes! Maple, has anything changed?"The shaking was amazing, and I couldn't even hear the announcement. "

Asked if there was any change in the items or skills, Maple checks them again.

"The [Light From Heaven] is gone, and instead the skill is... yes, one more!"

"I knew it." So, what's it like?I'd like to see it if I can. "

Of course, if it is something that can be used here now, it seems that the atmosphere of the key item is not dangerous, so Maple tries to activate it after reading the effect properly.

[Remaining Light of Salvation]!

At the same time as the declaration of skills, a similarly strong light was emitted.A circle of sharp light gathered over the head of the maple, which was different from the one I was used to seeing, appeared. The color of the hair changed from gold to blue, and a total of four white feathers grew on the back, and the ground began to glow.Sally's eyes were rounded at the change in Maple more than she expected, but as she approached the Maple, she checked what it looked like.

It's close to Dedicated Mercy ... but does it feel like it's evolved?

"No, apart from that!" Look! [Mercy to sacrifice yourself]! "

When Maple continues to declare her skills, two more white feathers are stretched and a circular circle is created inside the already existing circle of light.

What's the effect?

"Well... it feels like allies in range will gradually recover as their resistance to status abnormalities increases and their damage taken decreases!"

Is it a skill like The Throne of the Emperor that can move?...... Is that okay for now?

In Sulley, even if you do damage reduction, it doesn't change into a single blow. Since you can say that there is no living situation with reduced HP in the first place, it won't have a healing effect.

Besides, if it works in the same range as [Dedicated Mercy], Sally, who often party with Maple, doesn't have to complete the journey to get it again.

"If it wasn't for Maple, it would be a great enhancement if there were a lot of Range Mitigation Skills overlapping, but...... I would play it with my veins."

It was also true that with Mercy for Self-Dedication and the defense in front of him, he didn't have to go that far because he didn't hurt the surroundings.Apart from Sulley, Maple, who barely used damage reduction or recovery, was basically only using the [Celestial Throne] seal effect.

"But it looks amazing." I feel like I'm getting better again. "

You've got more feathers!

"If I could fly with this, it would be stronger..."

Maybe it's an explosion.

I try to move the wings on my back, but I don't think I can fly with my wings bumped.

"I wonder if there was a harvest." Is that all you have? "

"Well, there's another one like [Poison Dragon]!"And... I knew it! I could even [invert and rebirth]! "

I see?

"Let everyone see it!"I think it would be easier to understand if everyone had skills! "

That said, Maple shows Sally the window directly to see what skills are contained in it.

"Sure... I guess so." When you use it, there will be a lot of people around you. "

That's right!

"I think it's fine."Ah, leave the new feathers behind.It won't be long before the amazing effect stops moving for a moment if it comes out at that time. "

"Yeah! It's like a trump card!"

"That's right. Fufu, you're starting to understand."

"Ehehehe"

Now that we're done here, let's get back to the Alliance, get in touch with the logged-in Alliance members, call someone who can come to the Alliance home, and then we'll be on our way home.
