Chapter 293

Defense Specialization and After the Preliminaries

851 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

Well, the preliminary is over .

852 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

It will take a while for the results to come out, but no one died in my guild, so I have high hopes .

853 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

You sure are strong .

854 Name: Anonymous Magic User

I was reminded of just how useful tamed monsters are .

855 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

They really are strong .
There were a few times that I would have died without my monster .

856 Name: Anonymous Archer

Well, strong players are strong with or without monsters .

857 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

There were a few places where no one would go .

Places that people purposely avoided .

858 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

That sounds like it might involve one of our members .

859 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

Of course .

Maple’s position was displayed on the map the whole time, and everyone ignored it .

That’s no surprise .

860 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

I went and saw for myself .
Only a chosen few could get close to that .

Most would get caught in it and die .

861 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

I heard explosions regularly and thought that something crazy was happening .

I can’t do stuff like that .

862 Name: Anonymous Magic User

And I hope you stay that way .

Don’t turn the field into a land of death as if it’s the normal thing to do .

863 Name: Anonymous Archer

Yes, stay as you are .

Don’t change .

864 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

So, anyone who got close to Maple ended up dying, right? What was she doing?

865 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

It seemed like she was luring in monsters by using herself as bait .

I saw the monsters rushing out of the forest and being slaughtered one after another .
It was like a horror movie .

866 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

So, Maple was using herself as bait for the whole event…

867 Name: Anonymous Magic User

What do you mean?

868 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

Near the end, she got inside a ridiculously large crocodile and ran a lap around the field .

She was pretty sad that she couldn’t get the footage of it .

869 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

How the hell did that even happen?

870 Name: Anonymous Spear Wielder

I doubt there is any point in asking .

Is it within the realm of reason?

871 Name: Anonymous Archer

Is she even playing the same game as everyone else? I feel like her goal isn’t the same .

872 Name: Anonymous Magic User

So that’s what I was trampled by… I was wondering what the hell that laser shooting crocodile was .

No wonder .
Crocodiles don’t even need to use lasers .

872 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

I wonder if she’s going to get even stronger .

She’s always with her tamed monster .
I wouldn’t be surprised if she learned all of the skills .

873 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

Syrup has gotten a lot stronger .

I’m sure you’ll be able to see just how much in the main event .

874 Name: Anonymous Great Sword Wielder

So it is getting stronger…

It’s crazy that there isn’t a limit .

875 Name: Anonymous Magic User

I guess I’m looking forward to it, even though I’m scared .

876 Name: Anonymous Archer

I never stop being scared .

877 Name: Anonymous Great Shield Wielder

It’s not easy to get used to .

I thought I was used to Maple, and then she whipped out those tentacles .

Like that, the preliminary ended, and everyone waited for the results to be announced .

The management room had calmed down now, and they were working on confirming the rankings .
It was filled with names that they all recognized .

“It seems like there were no surprises this time .
”

“Well, stronger players get stronger monsters .
It can’t be helped .
Perhaps we should have put more emphasis on PvP .
”

“Yes .
We will do that next time .
”

They went over their mistakes while they worked .
Once they were done, they moved to observing the movements of players, as they always did .

“…Hey, did we add any area bosses?”

“No…not exactly .
”

“Some players might think that we did .
”

“A lot of people seem to have gotten caught in them .
”

Mi’s flames, Payne’s torrent of light, Izu’s explosions, Kasumi’s forest of mist, and Maple’s…indescribable thing .

All of them had the atmosphere of an area boss .

“You could say that the terrain and rules matched their combat style .
Interesting…”

“This is serious .
”

“I guess we have to look at each one .
We’ll leave the good points and change the bad .
”

And like that, they played Maples footage first, as if to get the most shocking thing out of the way .
They saw that the prairie had changed greatly due to the effect of several skills .
It was the place that Maple had stayed in .

“That flower…ah…I see .
”

“Even if her location is exposed, there are no players that would go to where Maple is .
That thing is a monster luring machine .
”

“This is not it .
This is not what you’re supposed to…”

“I know how you feel .
”

“It was our mistake for letting her learn about it in the jungle last time…”

However, they continued to watch the footage .
And when they saw Maple in the crocodile’s mouth, they became very excited .

“How does she fit in so snugly?”

“It was a good thing that we erased its stomach .
She would have exploded it from the inside .
”

“Yes, we can’t have monsters with insides .
”

They nodded in relief .
The incident with the octopus had made them change it .
However, a few seconds later, the crocodile that they had praised so much was being used as a car .

“Why doesn’t she get out!”

“I just don’t understand it at all .
But I suppose it does move fast .
”

“We should have made the fangs use piercing attacks…”

After that, they looked through the other scenes and threw out ideas on adjustments they could make .

“Now I’m worried for the monsters in the main event…”

“I hope they won’t turn into toys… After all, they will be attacking as a party this time .
”

“It’s the boss that is supposed to be doing the attacking .
”

“They’re already acting like area bosses .
There is basically no difference now .
”

“Well, that’s true .
”

They were especially strong with their tamed monsters .
However, that just meant they needed to send out monsters that could deal with that .
And so they looked at the data for the monsters they had prepared .
Their eyes were full of hope and anxiety .
