Chapter 291

Defense Specialization and Light and Fire

“Now, it seems like the others haven’t been killed yet… I guess they must be doing well .
And Maple hasn’t disappeared from the map at all…”

Sally stretched her limbs as she saw that there wasn’t much time left on the clock .
Many players had died now, and encounters were becoming rare .
Of course, that meant that it was easier to hunt monsters .

“It should be fine as long as I hunt a lot of them… This should have been a good opportunity, but I wasn’t able to see anyone fighting with strong monsters that they tamed .
”

This was an event where there were players other than those from Congregation of the Holy Swords and Kingdom of the Flame Emperor that you had to watch out for .
Everyone was desperate to survive, and so the rewards would also be different .

“Oh, Mi is on the map! And there’s not much time left… Maybe I’ll go and look .
I can hunt monsters on the way .
”

And so Sally dashed in the direction that Mi was in .
Any monsters that were in her path were quickly dispatched with a single hand .

“Oboro, ‘Binding Barrier’! ‘Quintuple Slash’!”

They couldn’t attack her if they couldn’t move .
In that case, she could use her skills to repeatedly deal powerful attacks .
They weren’t particularly difficult, with only simple attacks and moderate HP .
Which meant they were nothing to Sally .

“Oomph .
Is she over there…woah…Mi is wreaking havoc as well .
”

The sight she saw was of Mi burning down both monsters and players .
Pillars of fire rose in the wasteland that Mi was standing in, and it was clear to see that a horrible battle had been waged here .

“So that must be the Ignis that Maple was talking about .
I think that I’ll watch them for a while .
”

Sally used her webs to climb up into a tree so that she wouldn’t be ambushed by other players .
Up here, she would notice them as soon as they approached her .

“Now, will any players or monsters come… Hmm?”

As Sally squinted up ahead, she saw a familiar man with white armor and a sword .
It was Payne .

“I knew that I was on everyone’s map, but I didn’t expect you to come .
”

Mi drank down a potion so that she would be ready to fight .

“Yeah, I already hunted enough monsters .
And so I came to check the strength of my rival .
Ray, ‘Awakening .
’”

As Payne said this, a baby dragon with silver scales appeared from his ring .
It was about the size of a large bird and it folded its wings as it landed on Payne’s shoulder .

“What a coincidence .
I have also killed enough monsters .
”

Mi said as she called out Ignis and activated ‘Flame Empress .
’ At the same time, Payne unsheathed his sword .

That was the signal .

“‘Heavy Fire’!”

“‘Light of the Holy Blade’!”

Fire came from Mi’s side, while Payne let out a steam of light .
The wasteland roared and thundered .

“Ignis, ‘Linked Flame’!”

“Ray, ‘Protection of the Holy Dragon .
’”

Both of them applied the buffs and then charged forward .
Mi had no intention of backing away, and she used ‘Flair Accel’ to move .

“‘Blue Flame’! ‘Explosive Flame’!”

“Holy Blade of Exterminating Evil’! ‘Holy Light’!”

Every time they clashed, effects scattered violently, and the skills offset each other .
And all of them were the kind of high-power skills that could one-shot a whole group .

When Payne swung his sword, Mi would dodge it and unleash her magic .
However, they never hit Payne because he always blocked them and launched a counterattack .

“Ray, ‘Enlarge,’ ‘Breath of the Holy Dragon .
’”

“Ignist! ‘Enlarge,’ ‘Undying Flame’!”

The breath that Ray unleashed and the flames from Ignis bounced between them .
The ground was torn apart, but so far they seemed to be an even match .

“I see .
That’s a good monster .
”

“Your dragon as well .
However… If you’re still hiding your powers, then I’ll incinerate you where you stand .
”

Mi looked like she wasn’t going to hold back at all .
She recovered her MP and then gave the order to Ignis .

“Ignis, ‘Flame of the Phoenix,’ ‘Fire to my body .
’”

The first skill cast a buff on Mi, and then Ignis transformed into a ball of fire .
The fire surrounded Mi and began to spread out through the ground .

“I see .
This won’t be easy then .
Ray, ‘Holy Protection .
’”

“Let’s go! ‘Inferno’!”

As Mi shouted, blazing flames were unleashed, and everything that was around Mi was burned away .
It was blindingly bright, and yet the light that emitted from Payne was just as bright .
They collided and exploded .
The destruction on the surrounding forest and fields was immense, and a huge cloud of dust rose into the air .

When the dust began to settle, Mi stood there, unharmed and with just a little reduced HP .
And there was Payne, his armor burnt .

“Tsk .
I was trying to force you to use Ray’s most powerful attack…but you got by with damage reduction and the power of the holy sword… What a trickster you are .
”

“Haha .
Well, I can’t give you that much information .
”

“You weren’t even trying to defeat me from the beginning… But don’t assume that I’ll return the favor, okay?”

“Yeah, sure .
If you insist on continuing .
”

Payne held up his sword as if accepting her challenge .

Just as they were about to start round two, the sound of a tree being bent echoed behind them .

They detected that someone was approaching, and so they agreed on a ceasefire as they looked in that direction .
They were greeted by a storm of lasers flying out from the forest .

“What…!? Ray!”

“Tsk .
Time to go! Ignis!”

Payne and Mi both jumped on their monsters and got off of the ground .

After a moment, what emerged from the forest as it tore down trees, was a giant crocodile that was over ten meters long .
If there was one strange thing about it, it was that it was shooting lasers from its mouth .

“…I’ve lost interest .
Payne! We can continue this fight another time .
”

“Yeah, I don’t mind .
Because I got to see ‘Inferno .
’”

And like that, the fight came to an end without a clear victor, due to an intruder .

As for Sally, she had witnessed the entire scene .

“Ah .
That’s…Maple…”

She saw that Maple’s icon was moving quickly on the map .
And on closer inspection, the crocodile wasn’t the one who was shooting the lasers .
There was a ball of wool with a cannon stuck in its mouth .

“More! More! Let’s run around until the end!”

She heard the familiar voice .
Sally watched her go off into the distance with an exasperated expression .
