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

Defense Specialization and 'thunder storm'.

It was Maple and Sally, who run around here every day on every level, but today they were waiting for their opponents in a seven-story town because they had a meeting.

"Is it time?

"Mmm, I think I'm here. Look, those two, right?

There were velvets and hinatas walking this way ahead of Sally to show. Sally could tell right away because it was exactly what Maple told me.

"It's good to have plans sooner than I thought!

"That's you, uh, Mr. Sally...?

"Yeah. Nice to meet you."

"It's a waste of time, so I'm gonna go talk to him!

"Fine. Sally's good too, right?

"It's okay."

Thus the four walk to the field. The purpose today is to interact. And while the purpose behind it is to measure skills and other combat abilities, it is clear that Sally's nature is different from that of velvet.

While the four of them talk about no other love, they travel to just where the right monsters come out. I can ride Sally's horse today, so I don't have any difficulty moving one Maple. That's how velvet abruptly cuts out to Sally as she moves.

"Ah! I'd like to duel later, if you don't mind!

"With me? You say things like Frederica... well, I thought I was going to tell you when I heard from Maple"

Velvet shines her eyes and awaits a response. Sally fits in with a little thought.

"... after today's appointment."

"I see! Sounds like you're getting used to your shoulders with a boss monster first!

"But you're not Maple. I saw a lot of things when we met, so have we had enough?

"Hmm, to be honest... you just want to fight Sally"

Get information on your skills, or something like that. As Maple told me, Velvet just wants to fight a purely strong opponent. And the only reason I chose Sally instead of Maple was because Sally felt something closer to me than Maple.

"You're really what I was asking. I'm more aggressive with people than I am with Maple. As long as you can win, you win, and you don't lose. So, look at today's fight. You can win. So let's not?

Sally laughs jokingly when she says that, and Velvet returns that she cannot tell until she has tried anything straight against it.

"But it's true that you don't compete that you can't win. I can't lose, can I?"

"Sally hasn't been damaged once yet!

"What!? Is that true? Mm-hmm, even more so. You're on fire!

"Skills that are conditional on not dying in interpersonal fights...... or, ah, maybe there are"

"It's enough to think you have any skills, and it's possible!

"I don't know. I just don't think that's why I'd ever do it."

"Okay...... but I'm looking forward to it!

That's how the four of them headed to defeat a monster with seven layers.

Where the four stopped the horse, it was at the foot of the rocky mountain. You need to make your way to the top of the road to get to your destination.

"I have a checkpoint on the way, and I'm going to break through it all and be the boss at the end!

"A syrup or a flying monster doesn't trigger a top event."

"... you know"

"I was just doing a little research on my promise to Maple. I wouldn't have gone here."

While Maple understands that one person is not a tourist attraction here, the four proceed on foot to Rock Mountain. Rock Mountain is able to go inside and eventually get out to the top. Velvet's checkpoint is inside the Rock Mountains.

"Then let's go!

"Right!

Maple and Velvet take the lead, Sally and Hinata. Follow it. Although it has become a cave that has been explored several times before in the Rock Mountains, no monsters appear. As a result, it was easy to reach the checkpoint.

There is a closed gate with fine decorations, similar to the door of the boss room, which at first glance makes it possible to see that this is the checkpoint.

"You're here!

"It's a big gate... uh, what am I supposed to do?

"Pick as many people as you like from the party, beat the monster inside and move on, and the strength of the monster will vary depending on the number of challengers"

"I see."

"I'm going here!

"... rather than being compatible, it feels like you couldn't help but fight."

"Hit it!

Until we got here, we've avoided all the unnecessary battles with monsters just by moving around, so we have plenty of energy. The gate opens as the velvet sets the number of challengers to one.

"We can go in too... and we can't take part in the fight."

"Well, that's backup!

"Yes, you will."

Following the velvet creeping through the gate, the maples move on as well. At the end of the gate is a cylindrically maintained area, with a man-shaped stone statue of about two metres in the centre.

The statue made a blunt noise and moved out as the velvet grabbed the gauntlet-equipped fist all the way to take a combat position.

The stone statue also does not possess any weapons, and he puts up his fists in the same way. The body made of stone is far more resilient than velvet, and if you look only at its appearance, it will look like it won't beat the velvet.

"Well, I'll do it! [Thunder god reappearing]!

A tremendous amount of electric shock can be played from the velvet along with the words, causing a moment to stop the movement of the stone statue that was rushing over to beat me up.

"[Electromagnetic Jump] [Heartstop]!

At that moment when the movement stopped, jumping much faster and packing the distance than Sally uses, he punches the statue with that momentum. At the same time, the electric shock can be played and the stone statue attempted to move becomes stiff again for a short amount of time.

"[Double strike]!

Double strikes with left and right fists pierce the body of the stone to match a moment of stiffness. of power unsuitable for a luxurious body. It makes a dull sound and flies the stone statue backwards.

"[Disease Driving]!

Now it accelerates rapidly and packs the distance at once with the skills you can use when using your bare hands as a weapon, causing a blue and white electric shock from its body when you bring it into the range you are good at again.

"[Discharge]!

The accumulated electricity is thrown out depending on the number of attacks and the number of bullets, burning the stone statue over and over again. At the same time as its convergence, the electricity that was bouncing from the velvet subsided, and the stone statue fell and fell on the ground, becoming light and disappeared.

"Hmm, I'm not dealing with boulders anymore!

"Wow! Unlike before, Bibi moved and it ended in an instant!

"I've been here so many times, it's easier to take them down already!

"Nice, I knew it would be cool to be able to move fast!

…………

"... Sally,?

As velvet and maple flourished, Sally was looking back at earlier battles with her eyes closed. Not only the electric shock I was hearing from Maple, but this time I could see a weapon species specific battle up close. Such Sally has one discomfort.

Some skills have the shortest range of bare hands and are therefore set to be more powerful. But even in view of that, Velvet's fist felt too heavy.

"The risk is... there's no choice"

…………

"Ah! How did it go, my fight! You want to fight?

"Yeah, I did. We'll do it later."

When Sally says so, Velvet smiles happily.

"Ma, I just want you to show it to me that way. I'll do it next."

"Ooh! Sounds good!

"It's boring to fight with that. If so, reconsider."

When Sally said that, she started walking in the lead towards the next gate.

As was the case up to the first gate, so was the road to the second gate. There was also no monster and it was easy to go on.

"Speaking of velvet, you said you'd been here many times earlier, right?

"We can fight one-on-one! But it's about time we ran out."

Velvet, who was pulling and storming Hinata every time there seemed to be a good dungeon, was looking for a powerful boss monster. Most bosses can be defeated unilaterally if Hinata and I fight each other.

If it were, Velvet wouldn't be able to have the fun fight he wants. Velvet was not always here to train Hinata alone, as some people still felt strongly about her.

"I'm getting stronger and stronger personally, and you and Hinata won't lose!

"So you found me and Maple in a new opponent."

"You two are strong because you know at previous events!

"Yeah, well, we're both rivals!

Having a conversation, Sally is once again convinced that there is no back in the velvet. So Maple was right.

"When you say rival, Maple goes on and you don't PVP, do you?

"Hmmm...... maybe so. About the time of the event."

"Why don't you usually come to me?

There's one player who's already done that, so there's no big difference where there's another.

"Hinata doesn't just fight like I do, so she's happy to be one-on-one!

Hinata is different from Velvet looking for a place where you can continue to enjoy the fight on your own because of her style of fighting if you need her.

"It's fun to be with velvet...... but when someone can entertain you with velvet...... I'm glad"

"Sally, you're responsible!

"Mm-hmm. Well, let's see if we can have enough fun at that gate first."

"You got it!

That said, Sally was headed to the second gate where she showed herself at the end of the road.

"I'm the only challenger, right?

"Good luck, Sally!

"Uh... I'm here for you"

"You're watching me!

"Well, I'll be there"

Sally steps into a cylindrical combat area as well as leaving the number of fighters alone.

There was a stone statue with a stone sword that seemed to me to be the earliest blunt weapon.

"It feels like a power fighter to see."

Sally pulls out two daggers when confronted by a stone statue.

"[Fire Boy]"

When he wraps the flame around him, he rushes straight out and packs the distance from the stone statue. There is a physical difference, just like in velvet, and this time the weapon reaches better than the stone statue. It was the stone statue that started the attack first.

With a quick swing down that doesn't seem like a stone body, the Great Sword rips space in an instant. With the slight scattering of sand and dust, Sally is turning her body around and dodging with a sleuth, slashing the Great Sword first with all the counters.

"No damage. Then keep it up......!

Slip right through the stone statue and scratch the flank with two daggers. While the damage effect can play, Sally stays put and distance herself from the stone statue again.

Because the STR rise value by [Kenno Dance] is still small, the damage cannot be said to be maximum. Nevertheless, Sally's attack power is never low. Looking at the HP bar, which was only marginally reduced, Sally is convinced that the velvet is quite aggressive.

"Huh! Ha!

Sally looks back, now dodged by a low-profile rampage that sticks the sword waved by the horizontal giraffe to the ground, piercing one leg and pulling it out behind her again.

The same thing over and over again, whenever a stone statue turns to attack, on the contrary, damage effects and flames can be bounced from the stone statue. All attacks become gaps, and HP decreases every time you try to attack them.

Perfect counter. Sally uses no skills or anything, just pure technology to tear down the stone statue. Even without the use of powerful skills at first glance, the battle was amazing.

"I've never seen it right in front of me..."

"Yes...... I don't think there is any debuff on the stone statue. Uh, Mr. Sally is really... just avoiding it"

"Eh heh, that's amazing!

"Awesome!

Next to a maple as proud as she is of herself. Velvet watches Sally move still. From Velvet's point of view, Sally didn't seem to be using special skills to avoid it. In fact, there is nothing like that, and therefore Sally, who is fighting just basic attacks and physical abilities, cannot yet be said to be at full strength.

"Mmm! I'm so excited!

Velvet looked forward to the duel while watching Sally slash and lay down the stone statue, avoiding the Great Sword in danger.

As a result, Sally destroyed a stone statue with a great sword without ever being attacked. The skill used is about [Fire Boy].

"Good day, Sally!

"Yeah, thanks"

"Good luck! Russia... I'm starting to look forward to it!

"That's good"

"I want to see you fight more! Stone statues are too weak."

Although even a hit would have had the power to easily erase about one less defensive player, it is only natural that neither of us could use that power if inaction by successive stans were to evade all attacks.

"I hear the boss is pretty strong, though?

"You're no match for boulders. So I'm gonna knock you down and get to the bottom of this!

"You know how to do it."

Maple and Hinata follow along as they watch Sally walk out to the next gate in response to the velvet she talks about with pleasure.

"We seem to be getting along. Feeling breathless?

"The two of you... maybe there's something similar"

"Maybe so!

It may seem that even though they are right after meeting each other, their breath fits together because of the similarities in their nature.

"Do you know how many checkpoints there are?

"Uh... there's one more thing. If the bosses fit, we'll have two more fights."

"Thanks! Well, Sally and the others have already fought, and it's our turn at the end."

"Um, I'm not for the fight alone... so if you don't mind, Mr. Maple alone or... uh, with me"

Hinata is an extreme debuff-specific type. Even if you can weaken your opponent to tears, you lack the ability to defeat it.

"Well, you two! So, boss, let's do this together!

"Ha, ha... I'll do my best!

"All right, Sally! We'll do it together next!

"I heard you. The statue looks spicy."

"What's stronger next?

"Oh, yeah. It would be hard to deal with these two from a stone statue."

"Right. Hinata's strong!

"Maple's strong, too."

"Haha, you figured it out before!

The two have also increased to velvet and sally, with clear advantages and disadvantages. If the stone statue was like the previous one, the result could also be seen.

As the top approached, the Maples, who came to the last checkpoint, decided to try as planned between Maple and Hinata.

"Come on -!

"Ha, ha."

Maple stands forward with a big shield, trying to hide Hinata behind her back and goes inside. In the same looking combat area as before, there were two different stone statues.

The one with a giant bow made of stone and the other with a big hammer.

"Wow, there's two of them!

"Uh, uh, I'll stop the movement......!

"Try it! I am [dedicated charity]!

Maple first invokes syrup when he activates [dedicated mercy] so that Hinata doesn't go on offense, and sees how Hinata comes out.

"[Coquitos]"

Cold air emanating from Hinata spreads into a cylindrical battle area in an instant to halt the movement of the two stone statues. While Maple's skill, which is not the ratio of [frozen earth], makes them look like frozen ice statues, the two do just what they can.

"Syrup [Huge] [White Flower Garden] [Red Flower Garden] [Sinking Land]!

When Maple rides the back of the syrup with Hinata, he expands the field in their favor on the ground.

"[Star Chain] [Disaster Propagation] [Brittle Ice Statue] [Gravity Blur]"

More cold air and gravity strike the two statues by the same skills that Velvet and Hinata used to have when the two of them defeated the bosses, continuing and causing them to stop moving.

"More... [Rusty Armor] [Footsteps of Death]"

A black jade overflowing from Hinata's doll progresses to crawl through the ground, covering a stone statue that cannot move properly to further reduce his defense. Long and long detention times. Once they stop acting, the next skill that is activated in a chain won't even allow the opponent to strike a blow.

"Mr. Maple... uh, attack please"

"Yeah! [Expand All] [Start Attack]!

Sinking his body to the ground, freezing it, the two stone statues crushed by gravity are shot through by Maple's shooting without being able to resist.

"Wow! Awesome damage!

Damage far exceeds what Maple expected, and the stone statue reduces HP as it looks at it. I can tell from Hinata's voice, which is dispersed by the sound of the shooting and heard from time to time, that she must be activating some skill. Every time the statue moves to show it, it stops moving perfectly, and its defense continues to fall everywhere.

Even if the power of Maple's shooting remains the same, if the opponent's defense falls everywhere, the skill that would otherwise be sharpened by the barrage will also weigh tremendously from shot to shot.

"I heard from Maple... that's more than that."

"If I do, I'm gonna lose."

As Velvet and Sally watched, the battle ended with Hinata's gravity and ice, Maple's topographical changes and state anomalies making the statue just a target.
