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

"......!"

The red arrow flying at a rate that Maple couldn't react to, slightly dodged the big shield he had set up, striking him in the face as he slightly stepped out of the shield in search of the enemy. This blasted out HP along with an incredible damage effect, and triggered [Tenacity Guardian]. Maple, which didn't have high HP, was very fragile if it only got through the damage.

There was nothing to protect the Maple if the [Pierce Guard] was shot through properly.

"We're retreating! I don't know where the enemy is!" Deploy the defensive walls! Maple, unlock it! "

Y-Yes!

Maple unlocks her charity, and other players fortify their defenses with magic and skill.

Magic Barrier

"" "[Multi-cover]!" "

As they hurried back into the woods, Wilbert's arrows attacked one after another to defeat the Maple. If it wasn't for Maple, the Piercing effect would be unnecessary, and Wilbert, who would strike in range, would be able to cut down the health of Gargantuan and everyone else. I switched defensive roles while aiming for the forest, but the situation was painful because I couldn't fight back.

"Me too...! That's it!"

To protect everyone, Maple uses her newly acquired skill.

Ancient Weapon !

Releasing the energy accumulated by the rain of arrows and intense shots at once, the black cube splits into eight and spreads into the air. When it connects each with a blue light, it unfolds a huge barrier that shines dazzlingly, sparking violently with the rain of subsequent arrows to catch it all.

"Whoa...!?"

"Let's go, Maple, carry it! [Tenacious Guardian] Be the wall for the one you have!"

We can't afford to lose the best of our faction here, but as we stand up and defend the Maple, we retreat through the heavily sheltered forest.

Wilbert stared at it from a distance and slowly lowered his bow.

"I can't penetrate the terrain either... so I won't get any more."

"Hmm. That energy barrier was a miscalculation." I see, I was learning new skills after all. "

It was definitely an unknown skill, but Wilbert's eyes were well aware of its origin.

"It looks like the black cube floating on the side was deformed, so it's probably a piece of equipment."

"Let's be careful while we equip it." Now, let's go back. It would have been the best in time... but maneuverability is our challenge. "

Many players have lost, and this battle is a big defeat when viewed as a faction.

"That's right. If we get too close this time, we'll end up in an uncomfortable spot, so... it's difficult."

Nevertheless, I definitely showed off my incredible attack. For a while, the two of them retreated from the icy pillar, fearing that there would be no enemies left to step on.

The two of them stopped further marching, making it difficult for them to enter the area in the future. However, the number of players that were defeated is now quite high.

The two of them returned to the area they were originally defending, hoping to defeat the Maple at the moment they showed a slight gap.

And then a little bit later, in front of the outer wall of the town, there were three Sully's who had come back for a while. In front of the gate to walk into the city, Izz is building a fortress with items.

It's amazing, isn't it?

"Ahh..."

It's like the final line of defense in the field.

Large numbers of artillery cannons, barricades, and other items are not meant to be fought in earnest, but that's why Izz is different. If I stormed with no plan, I wouldn't be able to do anything, even if I was a high defense fighter.

"Ah, Sally and the others!" You're back. I'm glad you're okay. "

"It's just the beginning." Let's start by seeing how it goes as planned. "

"Let's help set it up, too." I don't know when they're gonna break in. "

Just to be ready early, the three of them helped Izz to see the shadows of many players coming towards us in the distance.

"Oh, are they enemies...?"

While Chrome was vigilant, she pulled out her dagger, but Izzy checked it with the binoculars she took out of her pouch and shook her head.

"That looks like the people who just launched." Maple-chan would have followed me.

"Maple?... I see. Surely that number will do the trick."

After a few moments, a maple emerged from the group of players, bowed his head to the group and greeted them.

Everyone!

“Good job, Maple. How did it go?”

"I think everyone knocked down quite a bit... I didn't know how many were smoke or flames or anything."

"Haha, you played so flashy..."

"But, no one has been defeated, but I've used [Guardian of Tenacity]..."

Something's happened.

Yeah, uhm.

When Maple told me what had happened, there seemed to be someone who knew all about it.

“Well, that's definitely Wilbert.”

"That's right, but I can't imagine shooting out of sight."

I'll blow everything out of sight... and it's getting harder to walk in enemy territory.

An archer, assassinated safely and reliably from a distance is nothing short of a threat. It was also well-equipped with range and piercing attacks, so there was no gap.

“For now, Maple is safe first today. I still don't know how you do it, but I'm sure you're looking at a very wide range with your own eyes, so if you fall within the next range, you'll definitely be shot through."

Maple doesn't have enough stats to react to that arrow or player abilities, so without [Guardian of Tenacity] she can't do anything and will die instantly.

"I'm sorry, Sally... [Pierce Guard] I used it earlier."

"It's okay! Besides, I think I used it to get it right." If the rain of arrows had had a penetrating effect, I wouldn't be here right now. "

"It's good that you followed me in the first place." If Wilbert had turned them into beehives, there would have been considerable damage. "

It was terrifying to think about when there was no [Mercy to dedicate yourself to] in front of the rain of that arrow.

"If we look at the results, we'll all survive." It could be called a big victory. "

Yeah! Alright! Next time, I'll properly defend with my shield!

When Maple regains her vitality, she takes orders from Izzy to start placing items. While looking at it, Sulley and the others thought a little.

"In fact, it's pretty tough." Even the guild guards you were gathered with just now will cause enough damage to enter the Wankill range, right? "

"Since there is an overwhelming difference in the range, if [AGI] is low, you can shoot as many times as you want." If you put up with the shooting, the damage will fall... but it's enough to inflict a fatal injury on the player... "

Maple's multiple mixed guilds gathered high level players as well. What I can't stand is that Wilbert's attack power is high.

"I don't have a high special defense either." Ultimately, it depends on the [Dead or Alive] mood. "

"I guess I can't either." If Chrome and Maple aren't enough, the rest of us won't be able to stand it. "

"It's not good to have a wider area of sighting than this." We will definitely be attacked first. "

It has a special blow that is released from out of sight. We can't step into enemy territory until we know exactly where Wilbert is.

"Isn't there no choice but to walk carefully to see if the rays are passing?" From what I've heard about Maple, it looks like the terrain on the field won't break. "

"I will think about countermeasures. Just be careful the next time you enter enemy territory.”

We can't let this fight go too fast to make it through to the end.

My allies were strong, but my enemies were strong. While tasting the tension that is unique to interpersonal combat for a long time, the three joined Izzy's help.
