Chapter 290

Defense Specialization and Contact

Misery, Marx, and Shin were members of ‘Kingdom of the Flame Emperor’, and they had all managed to reunite and hunt together .
As they all had maps, they just needed to contact each other and move .
So it would have been possible for them to meet Mii .
But they decided not to .

“We’re not a party, after all .
”

“Yes .
I won’t survive if I’m caught in Mi’s area attacks…”

“She…isn’t able to control the amount of fire…”

Mi had a powerful attack that burned everything that was around her, but if she did that around them, the trio would turn into fireballs .

“Well, I’m sure she’ll be fine without us .
In any case, we need to hunt as many monsters as possible .
I’ll take down their HP, so you finish them off .
”

Up until they teamed up, Shin had killed a lot of monsters with ‘Destructor’ and his tamed monster, ‘Wen’ the hawk .

Compared to him, Misery and Marx specialized in healing and traps, which was not very efficient .
Just then, a monster appeared in front of him .

“Yes, leave it to me .
”

“I can support… But don’t step on any of the traps by accident, okay…?”

“Well, I can fight while standing in one place .
It will be fine as long as you don’t place them right at my feet .
Here I go! ‘Destructor’!”

Shin unleashed swords into the charging tiger, and shredded its flesh .

“Wen! ‘Wind God’!”

A powerful wind began to blow around the hawk, it then turned into numerous blades of wind, which shot towards the tiger .

Just by approaching the trio, the tiger was cut by blades multiple times until its HP was nearly empty .
Even though individual hits were not heavy, with a tamed monster and enough successive attacks, the outcome was very different .

“‘Holy Lance’!”

As promised, Misery dealt the finishing blow .
And then they moved on to their next target .

“I’ve always been amazed…at how many swords it can shoot out like that…”

“It’s just experience .
One day, it was just able to do it .
”

“It’s that simple, huh?”

“What about your monsters? Has there been any changes since we last talked about it?”

“Me? …Clear can’t really do anything too amazing yet .
It can disappear like a chameleon… Ah, but recently, it can make me invisible as well…”

“My Bell is the same as always .
But I do think it’s rare .
”

“So it hasn’t learned anything outside of passive skills? Well, that is rare .
”

Misery had a white cat with a long coat that she called Bell .
It was learning a lot of passive skills that offered buffs within a small area .
They were things like enhanced healing and dealing extra damage .

However, as the area of effect was small, it wasn’t very practical .

“It must be a late-bloomer .
So I’m going to take good care of it .
”

“Alright, we’re entering the area with the ruins now .
It’s usually quite populated with other players .
”

“I’ll set up some traps…so they don’t follow us from behind .
”

“Ah, good idea! Thanks .
”

And with that, the trio hunted down monsters while moving into the ruins .
As Shin predicted, there were quite a few players here .
But none were a match for the three of them .

However, after they had hunted for some time, they heard a familiar voice .

“Hmmm-hmmm-hmmm-hm… Gah! ‘Kingdom of the Flame Emperor’…!”

“Oh, Frederica .
”

The voice was Frederica’s .
Currently, she seemed to be alone .
She was holding up her staff defensively while slowly backing away from them .
Clearly, a single rear-guard did not stand a chance against three enemies .

“Ahaha .
You know, Payne will be really angry if I die .
Won’t you just let me go?”

“Get her!”

“Yes!”

“Yeah…”

“What? But why!? Fine .
Knots, ‘Awakening’!”

A small yellow bird landed on Frederica’s head .
She had wanted to get out while using the least amount of skills as possible, but now she was desperate .

“Wen! ‘Wind God’!”

“Knots, ‘Singing Round’! Phew, ‘Multi-obstacle .
’”

Frederica’s barriers blocked the numerous flying wind blades and Shin’s Destructor .
And while they shattered upon impact, she realized that there were much more of them than before .

“I won’t lose in terms of moves, okay? ‘Multi-fire bullets,’ ‘Multi-light bullets .
’”

A magic circle appeared, and immediately after, she heard Knots cry, and then the magic circle doubled in size .

“How’s this? Of course, I’m sure that you won’t die .
”

Countless bullets of light and fire that Frederica and Knots had made began to shoot towards the trio .

“Leave this to me .
”

“Yes…I’ll stop it .
”

Misery made a magical barrier just like Frederica .
Marx created one out of stone .
It was enough to block the magic that flew towards them .
However, Frederica never meant to take them on seriously .
And by the time the dust had settled, she was nowhere to be seen .

“She got away .
”

“I had no idea that she had as many attacks as you, Shin .
”

“Yes .
We’ll have to be cautious around her… Ah .
”

“Hmm? What is it, Marx?”

“She got caught .
”

Traps had been set up all around the ruins .
And Marx had positioned them so that it would be especially easy to catch anyone who was trying to get away .
And his instincts had been right, and there was no way that Frederica wouldn’t get caught in them .

As she fell, Frederica somehow managed to create a foothold and so she was able to climb out and escape from the pit .

“Ugh! Tsk .
And I had managed to look so cool when escaping .
This is the worst… I have to get out of here…”

The area around her was covered in traps .
She was at a disadvantage .
And so Frederica quickly ran away and left the ruins behind her in order to team up with any of the reliable members of the Congregation of the Holy Swords .
