Then time passed and the day came when the nine layers were implemented.The Maples [Maple Tree] were also to gather in a group of eight and head for the conquest of the tower, which continued deep into the water.

It seems that [swimming] and [diving] levels have risen as one of the eight layers of harvesting.

It would be nice to have a place to use even in the nine layers.

"It's fast to say goodbye."But I wonder if I'll have to come back again to make the water attribute leak. "

Ugh, I wish we had gotten Swim skills too.

"You don't have enough stats..."

"That's why I want you to be active today."If you can defeat me quickly, I'll be saved. "

Yes!

Alright, let's go then!

I'd like some syrup, please.

In order for everyone to move side by side, this time the syrup is just right, regardless of the terrain.

Maple makes the syrup massive and flies towards the tower with everyone on her back.

Because there was a lot of travel on the ground in Haku.

It's amazing to be able to fly, isn't it?

Both dungeons and monsters are mainly underwater this time, so the sky can fly freely, especially without monsters.

In this way, without any particular trouble, the eight of them were able to reach the desired tower.

When the syrup stops near the entrance, it jumps to the tower and returns the syrup to its original size.I couldn't get inside the building when I was Massive on the Rock.

When I was ready, I entered the inside of the tower, mainly Maple, who activated Dedicated Mercy .Since the upper part of the tower was not submerged in water, there was still furniture and such.A wooden door leading down to the floor was installed in a room with a diameter of more than a dozen meters.Lifting will open the lower ceiling section.

"Isn't it a staircase to stop the water weir?"

"It seems that there are no monsters."You won't have any problem going down. "

The fact that the furniture is as it is shows that the entrance is still here.

Well then, I'll stand here for your safety!

Maple stood near the door and travelled downward in the cylindrical range of [Dedicated Love].

Well then, let's open it.

When Chrome opened the door, there were sometimes no windows, and it was pitch dark underneath.When I illuminated it with a light, it didn't seem to have sunk into the water yet, but there was a sign that something was moving.

"... there's something there."

The Maple's defense net is also underneath, so there's no problem, but it's hard to jump in all at once because the iron ladder is just stretched vertically.

"You can take Mai, Yui, or Kasumi and jump in..."

"... but you're taking the top, right?"

"Then there's more fighting," says Izzy, smiling.Chrome somehow figured it was the safest way to stop jumping down.

What happened after that was a terrible thing already.Close the door by throwing in a crystal of flames from the only entrance to the room filled with large quantities of bombs poured into the floor below.

"Close your ears!"

Immediately thereafter, vibrations were transmitted from the lower floor with an unbelievable roar.The wooden doors were unbreakable objects, so there would be nothing on the floor where the Maples were, but there would be no surviving creatures below.

"... I'm scared of the benefits of the land."

Yeah, that's right.

“Let's move on with this for a while.I'll think about it when it's underwater. "

In this way, the indiscriminate attack on the entire room by the bombardment of Izz on several floors will shatter the monsters there without knowing what they are.

”...... I'm scared if you take a favorable position for Izz-san”

"Wow! We're all safe here!"

Attacks are the best defense, and if you blow them all away before something happens, there's no problem.

"Geez... but things have changed a little bit."It's water from here on out. "

Oh, then the bomb looks a little off.

"Instead, it's gone dark."The big fish are swimming. "

"Then will you go in in your submarine suit?It feels like I'm going to have a rampage around Mai and Yui. "

I'll protect you the moment you enter!

Ooh, let's go.

If Maple is around, there's no problem, so just in case, put Chrome in the lead and let Mai and Yu follow.

When I jumped into the water, the fish swimming inside reacted and attacked me with sharp teeth.

"You don't have time for me, do you?" Mai, Yui! "

Quick Change !

Mei and Yui, who entered late when the fish gathered in Chrome, each swung around with eight hammers.

It was as powerful as condensing all of Izz's bombs.

It was just a basic attack swinging a gavel.However, it outweighs the destructive power of other players' Special Attacks.

It literally exploded and disappeared from the hammer.The simple violence of the two of them ran around the room in an instant, leaving everything unattended.

”Phew... I know you won't take any damage if you hit me, but I'm nervous.”

Although you've tried to keep Mai and Yui from hitting each other, as the iron mass that destroys everything passes in front of you, your body solidifies in reflection.

I'm so sorry!

It worked!

Maple-san... thank you for your defense.

"Ehehe, thanks to you two, I didn't need it at all."

It feels safe in case it gets attacked, so it can be attacked sporadically.Chrome heard it and nodded one by one, saying that it was the original role of the Dai Shieldman.

It looks like everything's over.

"Oh, Sully. Well, if those two swing their weapons, the little fish won't be a problem."And after all, [Love for Yourself] works really well in the longitudinal direction. "

"That's right..."

The range is wide and covers the width of the tower, so breaking through Maple's defenses is a prerequisite for climbing the mounds imposed on the monsters in this tower.We all knew that it was too harsh and almost impossible.

All right, let's keep moving! I'll leave everyone to attack! "

If there were eight of us, Maple wouldn't have to force herself to attack.It was important to keep the potions in place in case of sudden damage.Unless the Maple is defeated, the front won't collapse.

From the Iz-centered strategy, I switched to the four-centered strategy of Mai, Yui, Kasumi, and Sulley, and went further down.Fast-moving monsters are owned by Kasumi and Sulley, while those with high health and defense appear to be blown above them by Me and Yu.

Chrome attracted her, and by lowering [AGI] with Necro's skill, she was able to destroy monsters without getting stuck.

It's a stone's throw. I don't think we'll be able to make it to the attack.

"Fufu, I'm so relieved to be able to relax."I can save up a book, too. "

"There's more of them again." I wonder if I'll ever run out of everything. "

Hmm, maybe there is?

"If Canadians use all those books, it's going to be amazing."

"Hahaha, that's right.I think I'll use it if I need all my skills. "

Maple and Iz couldn't have imagined what that would be like against them.

Then, when the three of them were talking, Sally burst out from downstairs.

It's over. Next time, it's getting deeper all at once, so we all want to go in.

Yes! Yes!

"How many floors do you feel like you're piercing?"I'll be ready to use the grimoire. "

"Yes, I do. I don't know because I can't see outside, but I'm supposed to be diving a lot, so it's time for the boss to be weird."

When everyone went to the next floor together, all the floor fell off and only the outer wall remained until the bottom.Rather than the floor being eroded by the water and collapsed, something huge seemed to have broken from the way it was shattered and the way it was left on the edge.

It's pretty deep, isn't it? It's a bone break to go down here.

However, it can be said that we will advance at once for the part that is not divided into floors.

"...... What's glowing? Everyone!"

While talking about what to do, Sally sees something glowing far down and draws everyone's attention.So when everyone looked down.A lump of glowing water flew in three different times.

Sully, Kasumi dodges it with a quick move, and Chrome sees one of them as a shield.Izu and Canadei managed to avoid it, but they were slow to move, and without Swim skills, Mai and Yu could not avoid it.

If you hit both of them directly, the effect and bubbles will bounce.Everyone looked back at Maple because it was Maple who was affected by the [Mercy of Devotion] effect.

"... no damage!" And the air! "

Maple confirmed that the remaining oxygen had been cut off by the number of direct hits.

"I see, is there such a gap...!"

That's nasty. You're an enemy of a long dungeon that attacks with oxygen.

However, from the different atmosphere and changes in the battle terrain, it was possible to see that this was probably an attack by the boss.

In the first place, however, it is not visible because of the considerable distance.Long-range attacks from deep and dark waters have been flying above us.

"If you can prevent it with a shield, it won't be a problem!"Let's dive to the bottom defending Maple and me.If you take too long, Maple will be tired! "

Well, I'll prepare to defend myself against magic.

"I'll play with my sword, too."There is also [Eye of the Heart]. I can see the signs of an attack. "

Will it help if I turn into a big shield?

"Mai-chan, Yu-chan." Everyone will protect you, so when you get there, hit him with one shot! "

Yes!

"All right! Let's go!"

The Maple's order is for the Eight to dive to the bottom.With Mai and Yui lowered back, Maple and Chrome standing in front of them, fortify their defenses, and support Izu and Canade, Kasumi and Sally are the first on the front line to attack.

The winning condition is to bring Mei and Yui to something downstairs.There is nothing that can't be defeated as long as it's within range.

Four shots this time!

I'll take care of it!

I accept one thing!

As Kasumi quickly waved his sword, the water mass split into bubbles and disappeared on the verge of direct impact.Sulley takes safety precautions, turns the weapon into a big shield, and sees it.Maple and Chrome defended each of the other two shots, not even a single direct hit.

Thank you!

It's a division of roles!

"Oh, it's the right material." You two need to focus on blowing up the boss. "

Kasumi and Sally noticed a slight change in the water as they successfully overcame the chunks of water that hit them one after another.

"The flow... Kasumi!"

[Eyes]!

In order to turn Sally's hunch into certainty, Kasumi activates her ability.What was visible was a scene that glowed bright red due to the effect of predicting the attack, except at the edge of the wall.

"Stop by the wall!" Something's coming! "

There is no mistake in the words of Kasumi while using [Eye].It is an event that will certainly happen in a few moments.

Immediately after they all stopped at the edge, a stream of water rushed up the center.If they get involved, they will not only take the damage, but they will also get you back to the starting point.

"Come straight to the edge!" Go back! "

Kusumi, can you still go?

"... ah, [Shura on the Battlefield] [Eyes of the Heart]"

A red aura rises from Kasumi's body, shortening his skill's cooldown all at once.This made it possible for even the [Eye] to be used continuously.

“Once it expires, you can't use your skills, but if you can deliver them to both of you, my skills won't be a problem.”

Even if the Asura on the Battlefield disadvantage prevented me from using my skills, it would be better to protect Mai and Yui.

I didn't want to make a decent attack on the scum.

Evade an attack with little warning by looking at a solid future.There is no possibility of mistake or misreading because it is avoidance that is not experience or intuition.

The effect of [Shura on the battlefield] had expired and Kasumi's vision had returned to normal.

"Time is running out... please do the rest"

It's diving pretty deep. It's not strange to see it anymore.

When I looked at the bottom of the water, I saw a lot of light blinking in the darkness like a starry sky.

There are not eight people who don't know what it shows.

I'll put up a defensive wall!

Sow, Awakening Mimic . Guard Magic

Kanade unfolds the barrier by herself and the sow, and Ize quickly throws out the crystal and puts up an energy barrier that makes a bee sound.

What glows at the bottom of the water is a lot of water bullets.It rained down on the Eight, a barrage that was almost impossible to avoid.However, the direct hit course is blocked by layers of defensive walls, which also prevents direct hit.

"... I see!"

The oldest Sally finally sees the boss there.A gigantic body full of fins and towers, a beautiful glowing pale scales.It was not a fish, but a water dragon.

When the water dragon noticed that the eight people were approaching, it moved its body and rose at a tremendous speed.

"......! Don't let me through!" If you let him go, the ups and downs will be reversed! "

If you're bounced through, you'll have to dodge another attack and get back up again.It is inevitable.However, it would be nice if these eight people could make a gap for a moment.

Sow, Slow Field !

Necro Weight of the Dead !

The space is distorted by the sow, and a gigantic hoe floats behind the chrome for a moment with the power of the necro.They both slow down the movement of the water dragon and slow it down.

[Invitation to the bottom of the water]!

One of Maple's wide-eyed tentacles hits her body, scattering a lot of damage effects.However, it is not an effect of the original skill.It was just what Bad Food was bringing.The real effect of this tentacle is different.

The water dragon's body was paralyzed for a moment by the twitching sound.The Boss had just one second of effect time left.But for a second, it definitely stopped moving completely.And there are two people there who have been waiting for that moment all the time.

Double Impact

Sixteen gavels captured his body and attacked him violently.Cannot withstand this overwhelming force unless it is a special Resistant Boss or Raid Boss.

Sixteen shocks rushed through his body, and the boss's health blew up and disappeared in an instant.

As you dive into the inside of the tower, where you have defeated the boss and become quiet, you can see that there is a magic circle at the bottom that can be transferred to the next layer.

"Good work! Thanks to everyone, oxygen is fine!"

"Great. Maple's paralyzed."

It's unusual that the tentacle paralysis is more active

If you're a regular monster, it's probably because you drank it before you paralyzed.

"That's right..."

Now that you've completed the dungeon, you're often separated from the water world.

Sometimes it's about oxygen. I couldn't help but talk about it here, and the eight of them rode into a magic circle that led to the next level.

I wonder what kind of place it is!

I'm looking forward to it.

Then the eight of them disappeared into the light.After a while, my pure white vision returned to its original state, and there was a solid feeling of the ground at my feet.When the eight of them take off their submersible suits, they see the world spreading under their eyes with their open vision.

There were two distinct areas that were clearly visible from the top of the hill.

I could see water and ice on one side and flames and thunder on the other.Each of them is based on white as a symbol of light and darkness, and those who can see rich forests and rocks stand out and have lava accumulation.I can give you a few contrasts just by looking at them from here.

And you can clearly see that there is a big city on either side, in the distance.

"Haha, I see. I may have found out a little bit that you were fighting against each other."

"Yeah, if it's that easy to understand."

"I wonder if I'll be one of the guilds?" Or are you an individual? "

Which one do you prefer?

"Well, um... it seems safer with lots of greenery..."

The [Maple Tree] faces also react to the view of the new layer for the first time.

“What about Maple? I think I might be able to get somewhere.The impression is that it's light or darkness? "

Looking at the skill alone, it's more of a maple than a dark one.That said, I was replenishing the light component with eight layers.

Mmm, I don't know if I have to look around.

"I see." I guess it will be decided at the time of the event. "

Until then, you will decide how you want to continue exploring.

The view looks beautiful on the green side.However, it is a dangerous side to look at because it is overflowing with lava and rocky areas.

Maple is lost like this, but of course there's something to see in both of them.

"Alright! Walk around a lot!"

Looking down at the new layer, Maple declared her cheerfulness.

350: Nameless Spearman

At last, you're fighting a human being.

351 Name: Unnamed Bowman

It's time to show your growth.

352 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

I don't know what's going on yet, but I want to make sure we don't get into early retirement.

353 Name: Unnamed Wizard

I'm getting stronger, too, but the nitride is a serious nitride.

354 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

Well, it doesn't seem like one, and it's more like standing around.

355 Name: Unnamed Wizard

He belongs to the Nitride family.

356 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

Who's who? Who's who?

357: Nameless swordsman.

Nothing in particular between the eight layers?

358 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

It was a lot of things, but it was just a lot of things.

359 Name: Unnamed Spearman

I'm doing this again. I'm doing it. I'm doing it.

I'm definitely doing it.

360 Name: Nameless Archer

That's right. Pompous things don't happen.

It won't happen...?

361 Name: Unnamed Wizard

It's almost time for a personal fight, so don't you think you'll be able to experience it on your own if you join the enemy?

362 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

At least don't be a tyrannical type.

363 Name: Unnamed Spearman

What if the tentacles were all over the body?

364 Name: Unnamed Archer

Oh, I've been in the water for a long time.

One or two additional tentacles might not be strange.

365 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

What do you think Maple is?

366 Name: Unnamed Spearman

Las Bosses

367 Name: Unnamed Bowman

Nitride + 2 people ÷ a few angels

~ with tentacles ~

368 Name: Nameless Great Swordsman

You need to bring your weapon.

369 Name: Unnamed Wizard

First of all, it seems.

370: Nameless Shieldman

Rather, it's always the opponent who is being eaten.

371 Name: Unnamed Spearman

Don't eat it like it's supposed to.

372 Name: Unnamed Bowman

But it's possible that nothing's really getting stronger.

373: Nameless swordsman.

an overly hopeful observation

Did that happen?

374 Name: Unnamed Shieldman

You need to see it with your own eyes.

375 Name: Unnamed Wizard

Doesn't that show that the Council is hostile?I'd like to see it up close, but.....

I don't know what's going on until I see it with my own eyes.Of course, that's true for players other than Maple.

The Maples and their rivals, the [Gathering Holy Sword] [Flame Empire] [Thunder Storm] [Rapid Fire], spent their days exploring the nine layers and waited for the event to be held.
